Buoys Along the Atlantic Coast Swep
Away.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 -Lieutenr
ant Commander McKeE zie, in
charge of the Lighthouse Service
in the sixth district, reports to the
Light house Board that n%early all
the buoys along the Atlantic coast,
extending from New River Inlet,
Fla, were damaged or displaced
during the recent storms. No re-
lance whatever is to be placed in
the present positions of the buoys.
and great care should be observed
in navigating those waters. Repairs
will be made as soon as possible,
but the damage is SO extensive that
some time will elapse before all
the buoys are again placed in posts
ton.
Secretary Herbert has sent to
Senator Mcpherson and Represent
tative Amos j. Cummings, letters
from Hon. Thos, d. Porter. o.. S.
Minister to Chill, recommending
that Congress make provision for a
suitable monument to be- erected
in q cemetery at Valparaso, over
the graves of The sailors who were
killed in the battle between Capt.
Porter's ship Essex and British
mensoI~war in 1914. Mr.. Herbert
says that "For the honor and dig
nifty Of a grateful country, | trust
chere will be no difficulty in pro
curing from Congress the legisla-
ton for the rearing of a suitable
memorial"
The word sent along the line OF
the silver forces at 6 o'clock to-
night was to filibuster and to re-
lquire an absolute quorum at all
times. The silver men had been
comforting during the afternoon.
Word had been given out that
ISenator voorhees, would request
the Senate to sit ia the night, and
the information, whether correct or
mot, was added that he won d take
this course upon the direct request
lot the President, male through
ISecretary Carlisle. The purpose
lin fiiibustering was to show the
tutility of attempting further 10
force unusual hours.
A visit was made TO Secretary
lCarlis!e by Senator Voorhees, this
morning. The two gentlemen ex-
changed views upon the situation
and Mr.. Carlisle urged Mr.. Voor-
bees to hold firm aud keep his
forces in line. He expressed the
opinion that by 80 doingit would
be possible to secure the passage
of the bill unamended, and sng-
gested the ACCESSIBILITY of continur
ing the night session. l. was ime
mediately after this visit that Mr..
Voorhees, repaired to the Capito
and announced bis intention OF
asking the Senate to sit until 10
O'Clock at night. The attitude ot
the repeal forces in the Senate as
seen early this morning was enough
to convince the silver men that
something had happened. The
advocates of repeal had not at the
beginning of the session shown a
more determined front than they
displayed at the beginning of this
1.-THE eleventh week of the term
This state of affairs was sufficient
to overshadow the discussion of the
prospect Of compromise, and thai
subject took a back seat for the
first time within two weeks. 1t il
true, nevertheless. that the efforts
at compromise were kept up il
desnltory way, and that Mr.
ICockrell, who nas taken the leae
as a COMPROMISED, continued hi,
work in that direction. The pros
pect at this time, as nearly as it Cal
be analJ zed, is that the psesen
condition OF affairs will continu,
Tor some days. and that a com
promise will be again undertaken
and possibly by gathering up snc,
lsuppoIt as it can get from al
souzces, will be put through. Blu
