SCENE IN a COURTROOM.
Extraordinary Conduct of n Chicago
Judge.

Judge.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-An extraordinary
scene was witnessed in the Superior
Court this morning. In the absence of
Judge Stein who issued the order for
bidding the closing of the Worlds Fair
gates Sunday, the management applied
to Judge Goggin to dissolve the order.
He called Judges Dunno and Brentano to
sit with him. They agreed that the order
be dissolved. Goggin held that it should
be continued in force. AT the opening Of
the court this morning he directed the
clerk to enter an order continuing the
case for sixty days, OF till after the close
OF the lair. Judge Dunno insisted on the
right TO read the opinion OF the majority
and did so. Then, after Wordy wrangle,
private conference of the three Judges
was held, at the close of which Goggin
announced that he no longer desired the
other Judges TO sit with him. They re-
tired and Goggin oVerruled the motion
to dissolve and refused to set date for
hearing a motion to vacate the order.
Goggiu atterward gave as a reason for his
extraordinary action that to set aside
Judge STEMS order would cause the peo-
pie to lose confidence in the Judiciary.
Judge GOggin made long and rambling
address to the audience in court relative
to taking the public parks tor private use.

ported that all the negroes on the low

terrible experience, and furthermore
state that all dwellings were totally de-
stroyed and the place is in abiect desola-
ton. AT Walterboro many houses were
completely washed from their founda-
tions out into the street, and all the rice
fields were overflowed. Crops to the
value of 80 per cent. were destroyed. Re-
ports of loss of life and destruction to
property in Port Royal, Beaufort and Sea
Islands are fearful. The death roll al
ready now aggregates thirty odd persons.
The missing ship Seminole OF the Clyde
line steamed into harbor yesterday, hav-
ing escaped the storm. Inquiry at the
Clyde line office elected little information
regarding other missing vessels.

SAVANNAH (Ga.), Aug. 3l.-Reports of
the disastrous work of the storm are still
coming in. The entire coast is strewn
with wreckage and debris and vessels
high and dry in exposed harbors.
DEATHS MAY REACH A THOUSAND. p
AUGUSTA tGa.), Aug. 3l.-A special
from Beaufort, S. c., says: over 800 dead
bodies have been found on the islands
ABOUT Beaufort and Port Royal. Over
two millions of property has been
wrecked near the same points, both the
direct result of the severe storms which
swept along the Atlantic Coast Sunday
night. Every one OF the fifteen or twenty
islands lying around Port Royal and
Beaufort are in mourning. Those who
are at all posted about the country and
habits of the people in the stormy visited
sections are confident in their prediction
that the death roll will run as high as 5OO
Some of the best people of this section of
the State even place the loss at more than
1000. There has not been an hour since
Monday morning that dead body has
not been found at some point on the
islands. AS the waters recede and people
get deeper into the wreckage gathered by
the storm ghastly remains are uncovered
Great destitution exists among the seven
thousand remaining inhabitants of the
coast, and an urgent appeal is made for
provisions.
LATER.-Reliable computation places
the dead at 800 now. Seven thousand ne
groes who have been driven to Port
Royal by the storm are starving. They
are so destitute and so badly in
need of something 10 eat that they
have resorted to fighting among
themselves for food. Several were
killed in fight for provisions. The ne

CONGRESS TO BE PROLONGED.

The Tariff VIII be Taken Up as soon
as the silver Question Is Settled.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. Silt has been
decided impracticable to let the tariff
question go over to the regular session by
adjourning Congress as soon as the silver
question is settled, so work on the tariff
will soon begin. The Ways and Means
Committee will give hearings from Sep
tember 4th to 2Oth, and then proceed to
frame bill. Chairman Wilson hopes to
have bill ready for consideration by the
House by November.
Another urgent question may have to
be considered before this. The monetary
stringency has caused such falling Oft in
receipts from the internal revenue, Gus
toms and other sources, that the daily re-
celpts OF the Government are now falling
$4,000 short Of the compulsory expendi-
lures for pensions and ordinary expenses
OF the Government.
Already a deficiency of from $4,000. 900
to Sll, 100000 is in sight. The situation
cannot be met by economy, as these ex-
penses are obligatory under the law. The
alternatives before Congress to meet the
situation are limited to three-a new issue
OF Government bonds, an income tax or
some such new impost, or an increase of
the rate in some of the existing forms of
taxation.
II is expected there may be test vote
IN the Senate on the VOORHEES, motion to

SUSPENDED PENSIONS.

An Order Issued Modifying the Prac-
tice of the Office.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Commissioner
Lochran of the Pension Bureau to-day
issued an order modifying the practice of
the office as to suspensions of pensions.
The most important change is that which
directs that hereafter there shall be no
suspensions except in cases where the
record shows on the face that the soldier
is not entitled to any pension whatever.
1t is believed that the number who come
under this class is very small.
In speaking of this new order to-day
commissioner Lochran said: THE Secre-
tary has for some time questioned the
fairness of the old practice of the Pension
Bureau which suspended pensions dur
ing inquiry as to the right of pensioner
TO the pension rate he was receiving. At
his request the whole matter was care
fully considered, and the present order
modifying that practice so as not to sus-
pond in doubtful cases has been agreed
to as more equitable"

Protest Against a Prohibition of Their

New YORK, Aug. 3I.-Wholesale and
retail dealers in Smyrna figs have for
Warded petition to Washington pro
testing against the communication of
United States Consul Ernest of Smyrna
to Surgeon-General Wyman at Washing
ton. The dealers declare it absurd to pro-
hibit the importation offigs from Smyrna,
because it is a fact that there are large
consignments on the way which have
been contracted for by Western firms.
These shipments had been made prior to
the cholera scare. 1t was said at the Mer-
camille Exchange to-day that a strong
protest was sent from California to the
Treasury Department at Washington
against the importation Of all kinds Of
dried fruits from foreign countries, in
order to prevent the introduction of

SANTA Rosa, Aug. 3l.-The sixth store
robbery of series to which Santa Rosa
has been treated occurred last night.
This time Dunbar d Co., drygoods mer-
chants, were the victims, though at pres
ent it is impossible to state the amount of
their loss. Mr.. Dunbar is evidently
acting under instructions of the police,
and is disinclined to give the press much
information. The officers, no doubt, are
carrying out the theory that profound
secrecy will insure the capture of the
thieves, although the circumstances of
the robbery is known all over town.
Being SO many of the same kind of rob-
berries committed here, there is good
ground for belief that the thieves have a
well organized gang in the city, and dis
pose of their plunder through outside
parties. The effort al secresy so far has
proved failure. The only hope of the
success of such policy is in the hypoth-
esis that the burglars are somnambulists,
and unaware of their own peculiarities.
