THE GREAT STORM.
Probably Thousand Lives Lost and
Untold Millions Destroyed.

Pf0DaDly a Thousand Lives Lost ana
Untold Millions Destroyed.
The hurricane of 1S93," as the
storm which struck our coast on Sun
day, August q, is now called, origi-
mated in the West Indies, near the
Bahamas The hurricane centre passed
over Savannah, Ga, on Sunday night.
1t swept over all the Gulf States, do
ing incredible damage.
The loss Of property at Savannah is
estimated at 100000. The loss on the
cotton crop in the territory tributary
to Savannah is placed at S1,O00O0O
and that on the rice crop 100000.
The total losses on the cotton and rice
crops Of Georgia and the Carolinas
are regarded as incalculable.
More than seventy bodies were taken
from the Coosaw river near Beaufort
and Port Royal, S. G.
The property loss in Charleston, S.
c., and suburbs is placed at $1,5O0OO0,
tWO-thirds of which is covered by cy-
clone insurance. The work Of rebuild
ing was begun at once.
The steamer City of Savannah went
ashore in the breakers during the
storm on Hunting Island, thirty miles
from Beaufort, S. G. The crew and
passengers were taken off by the
steamer City of Birmingham. The
Savannah is total loss. The steamer
was going to pieces when sighted by
the City of Birmingham, and the pas
sengers and men were clinging to the
rigging. Captain Savage and the sail
ors of the Birmingham showed great
daring in rescuing the persons Oh the
shipwrecked vessel.
The loss of life by the great storm
canot as yet be known. 1t is feared
many vessels will never be heard from.
The estimates, so far as received, in
dicate that over 1000 lives were lost
in the Gulf States

TURNING THE TABLES.
From the Oh cago Conservator~

president Cleveland, by his appoint
ment of H. C. C. Astwood, as Consul
to Calais, and C. H. ]. Taylor, as
Minister to Bolivia, has shown that he
has policy of his own quite at vari-
ance with the party which held the
reins of government just proceeding
him.
Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Blaine
thought the time had not come, when
this government could afford to send
a colored representative to a foreign
white country. With all their alleged
regard for the Negro, they would not
honor him with an appointment high
er than that to Haiti.
But Mr.. Cleveland has a different
idea of the Negro, and he proves his
sincerity by naming colored man as
Minister to Bolivia. The appointee,
Hon. @. H. ]. Taylor, was formerly
the American representative at Libe-
ala and enjoys the high regard of the
President.
This same line ofpolicy operated to
the benefit of Consul Astwood, who
has been sent to Calais. No colored
man could have won such an appoint
ment from the Harrison admlnlstra'
ton and the fact is that Mr.. Cleveland
dares to take a new stand in this phase
of political action proves that he is a
man of strong convictions and origi-
nal iders.
Colored democrats and indepen.
dents will rejoice over this act which
they take as a justification of their
faith in him. They believed he would
recognize the allegiance of the Negro
vote and he has done so. For this all
thoughtful colored men of both parties
will applaud him. He has acted the
part ofan honest, conscientious, un
preiudiced magistrate, silenced- the
criticism of his enemies, and renewed
the confience of the faithful. May the
good work go OH.

with difficulty in the mountains
Vancouver spent many months on the IS
land, and in 1894 Kamehameha formally
ceded his possessions to England. The king
diverted his visitors at times by giving
sham battles, in which he bore a chief part.
In one exercise he defed the whole body of
adversaries-l50 expert spear throwers. Six
spears came at him at once, of which he
parried two, caught three and avoided the
sixth by n skillful turn of the body.
In one Of the annual festivals he coasted
off shore in n canoe dressed in richest ar
NOR. On attempting to land three spears
were hurled at him in succession at 30
PAGES by warriors on the beach. The first
he caught in his hand. and with that ward
ed off the others. When advised by visit
ors to abolish a custom so dangerous to his
person, he laughed and said that he was
as able to catch spear as any one was to
throw it.
Vancouver left the islands in 1794, and
they were ravaged for two years by wars
aimed at the overthrow of Kamehameha.
Maui, Lani and Molokai were at length
overrun and subdued and the kings forces
sailed for Oahu. Kiana, however, deserted
with all his personal followers to the enc
my's camp Undaunted, the king attacked
the allies on the hill behind Honolulu
Kiana was killed, and his troops fed along
the mountain to n precipice coo feet in
height. On the brink a desperate battle to
the death WIS waged until hundreds had
perished, among them some high chiefs
The victory was decisive, and Kamehameha
reigned over all the group except Kauai
and Niihau.
During the two years following, to 1916,
frequent rebellions kept the king in the
field until finally his authority extended
over all except Kauai At Oahu the royal
party alone lost 6, 600 soldiers. Martial sue
cess at last turned the head of this wonder
full savage, and be planned a canoe expedi-
tion for the conquest OF Tahiti, thousands
of miles distant, at the boundaries of Poly
nesia Wiser councils prevailed, and after
again subduing local rebellion the king set
tied down at Hawaii to devote his remain
ing years to the arts Of peace and civil rule.
In 1901 Kauai submitted to his reign, and
from that date to his death in 1919 was the
golden age" of Hawaii To foreign visit
ors he was prince; to traders n sagacious
yet honorable man Of business; to his own
people generous and constant He died the
commander Of well manned feet, well
drilled army. The islands bristled with
batteries, armories and magazines were
established, and every department was
equipped in European fashion, with corp:
of artisans and men of skin to lead and in
struct his own people. Yet the island was
a vast military camp. all the subjects being
perfectly armed and ready for war at the
shortest notice Like the German emperor

After the local war ceased to furnish oc

turn pirate and seize all traders who came
to the beach The king stamped out many
conspiracies of the kind and continued to
protect friendly visitors and stranded sea
men. Vancouver, the explorer, who had
been in Cook party in l71S, landed in lIg'

Then was noted the change that had come
over the untutored savage. Ferocity had
given way to dignity and calmness. His
restless eye shot glances that made the
boldest quail Though still herculean
savage in form and stature, his character
was cheerful and generous, his abilities
bent to social improvement and CONNER
