CROWDED WITH THE DEAD
The Dread Secret Of the Gloomy
Louisiana Marshes.
NUMBER OF VICTIMS OF THE
STORM CAN NOT BE TOLD.

But Those in Position to Know Still Esti-
mate 1t at Over Two Thousand-Little
Children in the Deso1ated Region Cry
ing for Food-PIaces Where There
Have Been the Homes of Men To Be
Abandoned
New Orleans, October S.-The latest
news from every section stricken by the
recent storm tends to confirm the belief
that over 1000 lives were lost and mil
lion dollars worth of property destroyed.
Thousands of people were deprived of
the means of making a livelihood. The
situation is appalling. New Orleans is
doing all it can to relieve those in want.
DR.. Story, coroner of Placquiemine par
ish, Says: "a good many car loads of
provisions and clothing have been sent,
but not near enough. Many women and
children are without food and clothing
and have become so desperate that they
have threatened to attack the stores and
steal food. 1t is a frequent thing to see
little sufferers crying and begging pit
eously for something to eat The pre-
paration of single graves for the dead is
impossible. Great trenches are dug and
the bodies piled in, one on top of the
other. don't think I exaggerate when
[ state that at least 2500 souls were ush-
cred into eternity by the recent storm.
This includes Bayou, Cook county,
Cheniere, Calnanda, Green Isle. etc.
never saw bodies decompose SO rapidly
as those of the storm sufferers viewed by
me. This was due to the fact that fish
and crabs in the bayous eat the remains. l
believe firmly that the marsh and other
places are filled with human forms, but
it is impossible to get at these, as no
one is adventurous enough to explore
the swamps. There can be no doubt
that this is conducive to an epidemic of
fever, or even cholera"
A relief party which set out from
Biloxi, tells an awful story of the desti-
tuition and loss of life in the Louisiana
marshes. The marshes are filed with
dead and purifying bodies. The num-
ber of lives lost on these marshes will
never be known. Newly made graves
are everywhere. The only sign of life
seen in the MAJ sh was one raccon float
ing on a log. Hundreds of oyster boats
and luggers were lost with most of the
crews, and the survivors tell terrible
stories of suffering. Most of them were
nude when found Capt. Julian Lefort,
the leading spirit among the survivors
Of Chemerie, places the number of saved
at 800. The population of the island
and bayous Immediately connected is
slightly more than 1900. He says the
island will be abandoned as habitation
of man. Grand Isle and Chemedeleur
will also be abandoned.

Madrid, October s.-The cable to
Melilla has been repaired and dispatches
of the most serious import have been
received here since 1890 this morning.
The holy men throughout Morocco are
preaching war of determination. They
exhort the Moors to drive out all the
European infidels and give no quarter
to Spaniards captured in battle. The
Kablyes continue to arrive at the camp
of the tribesmen near Meiilla. The Moors
have now more warriors than can be fed
by the district toswhich they have access
and famine threatens. They have kept
up desultory fire on the Spanish for
tress for the last twenty-four hours and
the Spaniards have replied occasionally
without perceptible effects. The Moorish
flag of truce called upon the governor of
Melilla last evening and sued for peace.
He assured the governor that the Sui
tan's Intention was to inf1ict exemplary
punishment upon the belligerent tribes
men. The, governor answered that Spain
could not and would not await the Sui
tan's pleasure in the matter, especially
as he was taking his leisure in giving
satisfaction for the attack on the fort
The Moors fusilladed the Spanish gun
boat Cuerva yesterday as she was leaving
Melilla harbor after having landed troops
and ammunition. The gunboat put
about and for twenty minutes shelled
the Moorish camp. Twenty-four shells
were sent into the centre of the Moors'
position and their fire was sllenced The
loss of the Moors is believed to have been
considerable. The embarking of troops
at Malaga and several ports continues.
The soldiers are accompanied to the
docks by singing and cheering crowds.
At seven this evening the government
issued an order that the entire second
army corps, Gen. Chinchilla, command
ing, should embark for Melilla.

which Perhaps May End the Talk.

Washington, October 7.-The sixth of
the great repeal debate in the Senate and
the ninth week of the extraordinary
session closed today with the business for
which Congress was convened in more
uncertain and unsatisfactory state than
at any time since. the beginning. The
only rift in the clouds is the announce
ment of the repeal leader today that
things must come to an end next week
make or break.
Senator Voorhees, arose fifteen minutes
after the Senate met and said: II desire
this morning to state, in the hearing of
the Senate and OF the country, that on
Wednesday next after the meeting of the
Senate / shall ask it to continue in session
until vote is taken on the pending
measure, and / shall ask and expect
Senators to maintain a quorum for the
transaction of business until the end is
reached of this protracted struggle. I
might say more, but more is not neces-
sary. give this notice in order that
Senators may govern themselves accord
which they owe to the public.
Mr.. Walcott, Republican of Colorado, Of
fered the following resolution which went
over until Monday:
Resolved, That the Senate committee
on finance be directed to report the bill
for the coinage of gold and silver in ac-
cordance with the policy set forth in the
bill reported by committee August 26,
1898, being. the House of Representatives
bill number 1.n This refers to the
declaratory section of the Voorhees, bill.
The House today listened to more
speeches on the federal elections laws
including one by Dr.. Everett of Massa-
chusetts favoring repeal. The attendance
was slight and kept falling off until there
were only eight members left when the
last of the days speeches were delivered.

from the outer turn had no windward
work in it and was really
one long reach to the finish.
The Vigilant bowled homeward in
great shape. She could not be mistaken,
as the sunlight once in while struck
her white sides, Which shot back tell
tale reflections. She crossed the line in
style. Whistles. guns and bombs greet
ed her. She was the winner of the first
race in the great international match.
And that by 5m. 49,, corrected time.
The Valkyrie had friends, the chorus
of whistles attesting that when she
crossed the line, and proving that the
thousands looking on felt that she had
sailed game, though losing race.
Both yachts were at once taken in tow
by their respective tenders.
From what can be judged of the race,
it looks now that the American boat has
far the best chance of winning the '.blue
ribbon of the sea" and of making our
British yachting cousins try once more
for the Americas Cup.
The official figures from the regatta
committee are as follows:

This means that the American boat
beat the British craft I'm. 36s. on elapsed
time, from which must be deducted the
allowance of I'm. 4ss. due the Valkyrie,
and there is left the American, the VIC

The Josephine Murderer Safely
Lodged in the State Prison.

Cbas. Slagle. the Josephine county
man who was con victed of murder In
the second degree by the jury at Grants
Pass Tuesday and sentenced Saturday
has arrived in Salem and was COM
mitted to prison today.
Slagle was convicted on purely cir
cumstantial evidence but it was very
strong aud public sentiment in the vic
unity of the crime says he richly de-
serves the gallows. The crime charged
is the murder of Antoine Joseph on
Williams creek, June %. 1892.
The sorrel pony rode by Slagle was
tracked by its peculiar shoes. The ball
taken from the victims skull, was
proven beyond doubt to have passed
through the pistol barrel, found in Sla-
gle's possession. Many other incidents
points to the convicted man as guilty.
In appearance Slagle is large, ro-
bust, rugged looking fellow, about
twenty-five years of age, an unshaven
face of dark beard. and long hair. He
held up remarkably well during the
trial, but wept like child when his
verdict was read.
