SEVEN STATES STORM SWEPT.
FROM 300 TO 500 LIVES LOST.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed.

The hurricane which started in the West
Indies on Wednesday Of last week proved 10
be the most disastrous that this country ever
knew. Full reports and details would fill our
paper, and even then much wunld be left to
the imagination From the Florida coast to
the St. Lawrence river nearly every port, city
and town was damaged, while the loss to
shipping will probably never be known.
South Carolina and Georgia are the heaviest
afflicted both in life and property. From
Port Royal to Beaufort over 400 lives are re-
ported as lost, TO say nothing of injuries TO
persons Dwellings, barns, orchards, grow.
ing crops, manufacturing establishments,
churches, railroads and cars were demolished
or whirled away like so much chaf. Forests
of the finest timber were leveled, while ships,
sehooners, punges, yechts and other craft
were carried inland and left high and dry on
the shore where they will have TO remain as
they cannot be gotten back. Light houses
and light ships, telephone and telegraph lines,
and life saving stations have been destroyed or
so much dar aged as to be of little use.
In Savannah, Georgia, the damage is esti-
mated at over 81 10000 and in Charleston,
South Carolina, it will approximate nearly
s., 600, 900. Tidal wave followed tidal wave
and cotton and rice plantations and phosphate
works were washed out of existence, together
with all the valuable machinery, tools and
implements, horses, cattle, mules and all
other live stock.
Along the North Carolina and Virginia
coasts similar condition exists, while the
greater part of Maryland and Delaware lose
heavily by the destruction of crops, peach and
other fruit orchards. In Baltimore the dam.
age along the wharves to warehouses, stores,
Nc. is estimated at nearly $500, 900.
From Cape May, New Jersey, to Halifax.
Nova Scotia, the loss to the several summer
resorts, railroads, &C., is enormous. In New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York the storm
left streak of devastation that will take
years TO repair; many farmers. fishermen,
resort keepers and vessel owners losing the
denominations OF years. Small streams that
were never known to be out of their banks
suddenly became raging torrents, sweeping
everything before them.
The greatest damage was in the Southern
States however, and was principally at Bruins
wick and vicinity, Savannah, and the islands
along the coasts.
THE LATEST.
Over 300 dead bodies have been found on
the several island about Port Royal and
Beaufort, South Carolina, which, with those
found below will run the list of drowned or
killed to over 800. As the wreckage is
cleared away the most CHASTITY objects are
presented. The loss to property is now est
mated at over So. 0OO, 900. Great desiitntion
prevails and assistance is urgently requested.

How the Government is Cheated

q
New YoRK, Aug. 29.-After slumbefing
for three years, the law department of the
customs service and the officials of the United
States district attorneys Office seem TO have
suddenly awakened 10 the fact that they have
some work to do in the prosecution of people
attempting to defraud the government. Why
this is so remains, of course, department
secret. The air is full of the rumors occa
stoned bv the indictments already found under
the investigations of the Fairchild commits
sion and the evidence supplied its members
by the special agents of the Treasury Depart
ment II is limited that the losses to the gov
eminent during the past three years by fraud
ulent weighing and fraudulent ganglng have
reached very large proportions. During that
time there has been, it is claimed, u practical
denial of supervision by the special agents of
surveyors department. These losses have
also been increased by the loss of duties on
baggage collected from European passengers
landed at the docks, resulting from either lax
or criminal inspections. This is due also to
the fact that the special agents were in great
measure denied the supervision of such iu-
speetions. A present case indicating the
wide extent Of this lax or negligent inspec-
ton if not worse, treats of frauds in Italian
importations. In these Italian goods no less
than $50 entries of fraudulent character
have lately been discovered. Some of them
involve very large amount.
Italy has an exceptionally high tariff, and
il is administered with an equal amount of
trickery and intrigue. The whole mercantile
system of the country is. therefore, based on
this sort of custom house morality, and its
direct effects are writ large over the record of
the frauds now being laid bare here. These
come in the shape of consular invoices or pro
forma invoices, involving false quantity or
false price. About 70 per cent. Of the frauds
are on pro forma invoices and less than rs
by consular invoice. This last would seem
an efficient means of preventing and detect
ing differentiation were it not defeated by the
neglect of the consul TO properly carry out
the department relies of supervision. Pro
forina invoices have been made facility for
fraud, according TO the figures of the disoov
cries already made. But il intelligence and
integrity were exercised by the weighers and
gaugers in the interest of the government no
such frauds could obtain. In the absence of
supervision here during the past three years
by the special agents pretty loose rein seems
to have been given to the weighers and gaug-
ers here, and the court testimony already
evolved promises a grave scandal. Fnllow
ing the disclosures made in the silk and to-
bacco trade by the special agents, this foray
into the Italian section creates quite a com
motion in custom house circles In the re
suits OF the tobacco raid some $500, 900 of
shirked duties have already been covered into
the treasury.

No more silver Coinage.

According to an agreement, the vote on
the repeal OF the silver purchasing clause OF
the Sherlnan act was taken ON Monday, and
resulted in the passage of the Wilson bill,
which provided for an unconditional repeal,
by a msioriiy Of one hundred and thirty.
BY agreement, the vote was taken on
amendments, providing for free coinage Of
silver 10 the ratio of TO Is, to IL, to Is,
10 10, and 10 20, and on substituting the
Bland-Allison Act for the Sherman Act. The
latter act was passed in 1878, and provided
for the coinage of not less than two million
a,er more than four million silver dollars a
mcuth. OF the weight of 4124 grains The
act was repealed by the Sherman Act, which
required the purchase Of 4, 100000 ounces Of
silver month. and the issuance Of certificates
against il.
The present ratio between gold and silver
is lG to THAI is. one ounce Of gold IS worth
sixteen ounces Of silver. The vote on the

Repeal of the Sherman Act.

The monetary system of this country
has been in fact on a gold basis, with gold
as the sole measure of value, since 1873,
though silver has been maintained as money
or as the basis of legal tender notes. The
passage of the Wilson bill, repeating the
silver purchase clause of the Sherman Act,
by the House of Representatives on Mon
day. does not eliminate the silver already
authorized by law from the currency of the
country, but prohibits the purchase of
more silver for monetary uses. And the
voting down of the amendmen s, providing
for the coinage OF silver at ratios ranging
from one to sixteen up to one 10 twenty,
indicates that no more silver will be added
TO the volume BY act of the present Con
gress. The monetary system ofthe United
States. when the Senate shall have acted,
will be similar to those of England, France,
Germany and Austria. Efforts will be
made to restore silver to money uses, as Il
measure of value, by international agree
ment, and in the opinion Of a majority of
our statesmen the first step is Il repeal Of
the silver purchasing clause of the Sher-
man Act. 1t is also held that this repeal
is necessary in order to preserve the value
Of silver now in circulation, at a ratio o.
onn to sixteen
