The 1000 people remaining in the

The body of white woman was re

So great is the misery at Port Royal

Over 500 dead bodies have been found

GLADSTONE'S VICTORY.
The Home Rule Bill Finally Passed BY

The Home Rule Bill Finally Passed BY
the House of Commons Ovation to the
Premier.
LONDON, Sept 2.-Mr. Gladstone's
long home rule fight in the house of
commons is ended. The bill was passed
at o'clock this morning by 301 to 267.
1t was hurried to the house of lords,
which gave it first reading and adj
journed.
There was unusual enthusiasm along
the route from Mr.. Gladstone'S resi-
dence to the house of commons yester-
day afternoon. The streets were
crowded with people who wished to
catch a glimpse of the great champion
of Irish home rule, and while there
was no organized demonstration the
prime minister was cheered throughout
the route.
AS Mr.. Gladstone, with barred head,
passed through the crowd and entered
the house it was noticed that his face
was very pale. A number of Irish
priests were prominent in the crowd in
front of the house, and lifted their
hats as the prime minister passed them.
Before the debate on the home rule
bill could be resumed long list of
questions had to be answered In re-
ply to a question by Mr.. John Red
mond Mr.. Gladstone said that he would
issue commission upon the financial
relations between England and Ireland
at the beginning of the year.
After the various questions had been
answered. Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, the
Irish leader, resumed the debate on
home rule. He spoke on lines similar
to those followed by Mr.. Dillon in
regard to the acceptance of the bill.
Mr.. Chamberlain followed Mr.. Nc
earthly. He said the bill struck dead
" blow at the honor and interests of
the country, but he could not avoid be-
ing filed with admiration at the cour-
age, resources and eloquence of the
prime minister. Mr.. Chamberlain was
loudly cheered throughout the speech.
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke for over an
hour and his speech was brilliant one.
He seized the opportunity to pay off
many old scores against the Irish and
liberal members and he delighted the
opposition with his clever thrusts at

policy, but that it had been accepted
from Parnell and forced by the Irish
majority. The prime minister had said
that the bill was introduced because it
was demanded by a majority of the
Irish members, but what the Irish ma
jority might demand the British people
might refuse to grant

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept. LA special
from Beaufort. 5. c., says: "Over 800
dead bodies have been found on the
islands about Beaufort and Port Royal.
Over s2,0OO.Oo0 of property has been
wrecked. Both are the direct result of
the storms which swept along the At
lantic coast Sunday night. Every one
of the fifteen or twenty islands lying
around Port Royal and Beaufort are
in mourning. On every door-knob
there is Grape and upon every hillside
there are fresh graves. The beeches,
the underground, trees, the marshes
and the irlets are revealing dead bodies
every time an investigation is made.
OF the many disasters which have Wis
tied this section none has been half as
horrible as this. Those who are at all
posted about the country and the hab-
its of the people in the storm-visited
sections predict the death roll will run
as high as 500.
Some of the best people of this sec
ton, even place the loss at more tina n
any day since the early hours of Mon
day morning that dead body has not
been found at some point of the many
islands. AS the waters go down and
the people move deeper into the wreck

So frequent are these discoveries the
finding of a single dead body attracts no
attention at all 1t takes the discovery
OF at least half dozen or more to in
duce the people to show any feeling
whatever. 1t is around Beaufort and
Port Royal the death list is the largest,
but in other towns many lives were

a complete chain of islands and it was
