Latest Reports in Reference, to the Recent Storm Near New Orleans Thousands Bead-MilIions of Dol- 1ars' Worth of Property Destroyed and Thousands Unable to Gain a Livelihood-AWfulS Story of Restftu- lion and Loss of Lt{e-The Situation n Appalling. a.. ..---. NEW ORLEANS, Oct 8.-Ths latest from every section stricken by the recent storm tends to confirm the belief that over two thousand lives were loat and that millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed. Besides that thousands of people have been deprived of tce means of making liveli- hood. The situation is appalling, but New Orleans is doing all itcan to relieve these in want. Dr. Story, coroner of Placque- mine parish, says:
 "A good many carloads of provisions and clothing have bsen sent, but not near enough. Men, women and children are without food and clothing They have been so desperate that they have threatened to attack the stores and steal food It Is very frequent thing to see little sufferers crying and begging piteous- ly for something to eat Single graves for the dead were impossible. Great trenches were dug and bodies were piled in one on top of the other. do not think I exag- gerate when state that 2,500 souls were ushered into eternity by the recent storm. This includes the Bayou Cook county, Cheniere, Camauads, Grand Iale, etc., etc. never saw bodies decompose 80 rapidly ss those of the storm sufferers which were viewed by me This was due to the fact that the fish and crabs in the bsyous eat the remains. believe firmly that the marshes and other places are filled with human forms. It is impossible to get at these, however, as no one is adventurous enough to explore the swsmps.
 The relief party which set out from Biloxi tells an awful story of the destitu- : tion and loss of life in the marshes. The marshes gre filled with dead and purify ing bodies. The number of lives lost on these marshes will never be known. New ly made graves were erywhere. The only sign of life seen in the mareh was one Taccoon floating on @ log. Hundreds of oyster boats and luggers were lost with most of their crews and the few survivors
 
 them were nude when found.
 Captain Julian Lsport, the leading spirit among the survivors of the Chenier Cana da, places the number of saved at 800 The population of the island and the bayous immediately connected with it was more than 1 1,500. He says the island will be abandoned as habitation of man. Grand Isle and Chemdelier will also be absn- doped

 Looking Weak and 2Worried-He
 Moves With Dtmeulsy and dRespo nds
 BERLIN, o5s. s-p.lnee Bismarck left KissingeE on a special train yesterday morning. He drove with his wife in an open carriage to the station. The streets were crowded, in many places almost to the carriage wheels. Thousands of excur- sionists went to Kissengen to bid the prince goodby. Flags and flowers decorated the windows. The prince was chsered con- stantly. The railway station was decorated with flowers. The front of the locomotive on the special train was covered with 8 large German flag. The director of tra fife, in 8 gorgeous uniform, rode with the en- gineer. All the stations between Ktssen- gen and Friedrichsruhe are decorated Bismarck looked weak and worried. He moved with difficulty, and responded only feebly to the enthusiasm of ths crowds. He wore long black overcost, white neckerchief and large black felt hat. When he alighted from his carriage at the railway station in Ktssingen he was sup- ported by Drs. Schweninger and Chrys- ander. They at once conducted him into the depot, and almost lifted him into the train.
 Bismarck stood at window until the train started and frequently lifted his hat in acknowledgement of the repeated cheers of the crowd. He appeared to be deeply touched. His lips moved as If he were speaking, but his voice could not be heard euen by those near by. Just before the train started several bouquets were handed l in to Princess Bismarck
 Enthusiasm and veneration were dis played all along the line. People every where were eager to catch a glimpse of Bismarck. For the most part, however, | he followed the advice of his physicians, ! and refused 10 see any yoocy.
 When the train stopped at Essenach yes. | terday the district governor greeted Prince l Bismarck and the station was crowded with high officials and large owners of the dis. trict who enth usiasticslly cheered the prince. He was cheered at Hanover also Dr. Schweninger said to day that Bis marek's fear of the journey had affected him unfavorably. The prince had been l very apprehensive lest the fatigue would cause relapse, and had lost sleep and strength on account of his dread oi results. As the journey advanced Bls marck had found that he was none tn,
 worse for 1t and had gained confidence ant courage so rapidly that when he reached
 Friedrichsruhe after eleven hours in ths
 train he had stepped more briskly and fel
 even fresher than when at the etation ir
 Lissengen.
 l According to Dr. Schweninger's accoun ! Bismarck is now erect when he stands O | walks. He has lost the shrunken appear
 snce which was noticeable.s week ago ani l looks as tall as he did before his illness
 His face, however, has grown thin ant
 wrinkled. Blsmarck passed fair nigh
