TITE HUNDRED DROWNED.
The Awful Result of the Storm
of Sunday.
CHASTITY REMAINS FOUND.
Three Hundred and Ninety Dead Bodies
Discovered About Beaufort.
Well Informed People Place the Total
Loss of Life at One Thousand-PrOp-
erty Destroyed WIN aggregate
over e,OOO,0 COO.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 31.-A special
from Beaufort, 8. G. says: Over three
hundred and ninety dead bodies have
been found on the islands about Beaufort
and Port Royal. Over g, O0O, GOO worth
OF property has been wrecked near the
same points, both the direct resultof the
severe storms which swept along the
Atlantic coast Sunday night.
Every one on 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 storm visited
sections, are confident in their predic-
ton that the death roll will run as high
as 900. Some of the best informed people
in this section of the state even place the
loss at more than ZOO.
There has not been an hour since Mon
day morning that q dead body has not
been found at some point on the island.
AS the waters recede and the people move
deeper into the wreckage gathered by the
storm the CHASTITY remains are uncovered
Great restitution exists among the
Z ,OOO remaining inhabitants OF the coast
and an urgent appeal is made for pro-
visions.
Special to the Chronicle from Charles
ton says the steamer Yemacco, overdue
since Saturday from New York, arrived
safely. She did not encounter the storm.
Reliable computation places the dead
at 600. Seven thousand negroes who
have been driven to Port Royal 0y the
storm are starving. They are so desti-
tute and so badly in need of
something to eat that they have
resorted to fighting among them
selves for food. Several were killed in a
fight for provisions. The negroes are
getting more and more daring in the
struggle to keep their wives and children
from starving. 1t is difficult to keep the
sufferers IN subsection.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

The Ways and Means Committee VIII
Soon Go to Work on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.--It has been
decided that il is iinpracticable to let the
tariff question go over to the regular ses-
sion by adiourning Congress as soon as
the silver question is settled; SO the work
or the tariff bill will soon begin. The
Ways and and Means Committee will give
a hearing from Sept. to 20 and then
proceed to frame a bill. Chairman Will
son hopes to have the bill ready for con-
sideration by the House by November.
Another urgent question may have to
be considered before this. The money
stringency has caused such falling off in
the receipts from internal revenue Gus
toms and other sources that the daily re-
ceipts CT tie government are now falling
5000, 600 short OF the compulsory expen-
ditures for pensions and the ordinary ex-
perses of the government. Already

CLOSING THE FAIR. SUNDAY.
Extraordinary Proceedings in Chicago
Court.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-An extraordinary
scene was witnessed in the superior court
this morning. In the absence of Judge
Stein, who issued the order forbidding
the closing Of the Worlds fair gates on
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 court this morning
he directed the clerk to enter an order
continuing the case for sixty days, or
till after the close of the fair. Judge
Dunno insisted on his right to read the
opinion of the majority and did so. Then,
after wordy wrangle, private confer
ence 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 retired and Goggin over
ruled the motion to dissolve, and refused
to set date for the, hearing OF a motion
to vacate the order. Goggin afterwards
gave as a reason for the extraordinary
action, that to set aside Judge Stein s

A PENSION ORDER.
The Commissioners Modifes the Practice
of the Office.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Commissioner
Lochran, of the pension bureau, today
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 It's face that the soldier
was not entitled to any pension whatever.
It is believed that the number who come
under this class will be very small.
In speaking of this new order today
Commissioner Lochran said: s'The secre-
tary has for some time questioned the
fairness of the old practice of the pension
bureau which suspended pensions during
inquiry as to the right of pensioner to
the pension rate he was receiving. At his
request the whole matter was carefully
considered and the present order modify
ing that practice so as not to suspend in
doubtful cases has been agreed to as more
equitable,

ing against the communication Of
United States Consul Ernest, of Smyrna,
to Surgeon General Wyman at Washing

hibit the importation OF figs from
Smyrna, because it is a fact that there
were large consignments on the way
which have been contracted for by west
ern firms. These shipments had been
rlade prior to the cholera scare.
It was said in the Mercantile exchange

Question.
WASHINGTON, Aug. s1.-An interna-
tional complication on the Mexican border
is growing out of the dispute as to the
boundary. The war department has re-
ceived a report from General Wheaton,
commanding the department of Texas,
that he has information that a party of
armed Mexicans seized a flock of sheep
grazing on the land cut off from the
American side by change in the bed of
the Rio Grande river, claimed both by
Mexicans and Americans. General
Wheaton ordered that all parties be held
by troops from Fort RinggoId, and not
allow anybody to cross the river pending
action of the war department. Owing to
the international aspect of the affair, no
action will be taken by that department
till after consultation with the state de-
partment.

INDIAN FINANCES.

An Explanation by the Financial Score
tary of India.
sIMLA, Aug. S1.-sir David Barbour,
the financial secretary, replying to ques-
ton at meeting of the Indian council,
said the correspondence with the secre-
tary of state for India in London about
the sales of council bills below 16 pence,
was still in progress and could not at
this time be published. He explained
that the Indian minis were closed but
this was the slack season aud there had
been heavy imports OF silver before the
close of the minis, with large transfers of
rupee paper from London to Calcutta,
which retarded the effectiveness of the
remedial measure adopted by the Indian
government. He regretted the fuctua-
ton of values and consequent evils, but
believed that nothing had occurred to
justify the assertion that a gold standard
cannot be effectively established.
