A Heavy WIND
DID SOME DAMAGE ABOUT THE CITY YES
TERDAY.
The Old Padding Department fuilding at ih
La Belle Mil Blown Down-A Residence
Roof Also Lifted.

The weather yesterday was not only
extremely wet and disagreeable-a du'
plication In that respected half-a-dozen
other recent days-but the high wind
at times added spice Of danger to
both person and property. In several
localities buildings were damaged, while
two men were hurt and several others
had narrow escapes.
The rain commenced falling about
haIf-nast two Yesterday morning, and
with the showers, which were quite
heavy at times up to daylight, came
hard gusts Of wind from the south
west. These gusts became heavier up
towards noon, when the storm cuimi=
mated in a series of unusually heavy
blows which sent shingles. limbs OF
trees and other light objects lying
through the air all over the city. In
the southern portion OF the city, along
and near the line of Caldwel's run, the
force of the wind seemed to be heavier
than elsewhere, and considerable dam
age resulted.
At the La Belle mill a force of men
were at work about the old pudding de-
partment, which is TO be transformed
into a tin plate mill. Several Of the
men were on the roof, tear
ing of the old tin covering,
when an exceptionally heavy
gust caught the roof, and the entire
structure, two hundred by fifty feet in
size, was leveled with the earth. All
the men escaped injury but two, James
and William Rose. James was struck
by flying piece Of roofing and was
painfully cut, while William. who was
on top of the roof, was pretty badly
shaken ~. A number OF boys were
about the building and there were a
number of narrow escapes among them
as we'll as among the workmen.
About the same time the wind caught
the roof of a one story building belong
ing to Philip Youngman, located on
Chapline street, between T1enty-hfth
and Twenty-sixth streets, and the tin
roofing was ripped of. Slight damage
was also done In other localities.
Up about Mozart Park the wind was
very high. but no damage to the build
ings there was reported.
ALI through the surrounding country
on both sides OF the river, the wind was
very violent all day, and reports from a
number of places state the danger line
was almost passed. East Of the city, in
the neighborhood Of West Alexander,
the storm was more violent about four
o'clock than at any prior time during
the day.
The rain continued nearly all last
night, and a very considerable rise In
the river will probably be the result

INTERNATIONAL BIMKTALLISM.

Sir Clifford Molesworth, one OF the del
egateE from India to the Brussels none
tary conference, and author of a prize
essay on International Bimetallism, in
a late paper contributed to an American
monthly on the Indian currency ques-
tion, makes some striking statements.
Thus: "Soon after 1873, when the link
(uniting silver and gold) WAS brokyn. a
depression of trade unexampled IN mag
nitude and duration set in, and after
twenty years it shows no sign OF abate
ment, but, on the contrary, threatens to
increase in intensity" And again, and
this ig true se gospel: "The gold-usinH
countries generally, and Great Britain
in particular, have really suffered more
than India from this violation of the
monetary law. The rupee, in
common with silver all over the world,
has not until very lately altered in
value ii. g., in its purchasing power
but has remained stable, while gold has
appreciated; consequently the producer
in India has enjoyed an immunity from
those evils which are caused by an ap-
preciated standard and which have
weighed 80 heavily on his gold.using
competitors. India has ex-
changed (or England is attempting to
force her to exchange) the currency
which has hitherto been stable for one
that has proved eminently unstable
during the last twenty years."
"The government of India" Gays
the eminent writer, "has striven
to the utmost of its power
to induce the home govern
ment to adopt the only practical solu-
ton of the difficulties that beset her,
namely, return by international agree,
nent, to the monetary law which had
The herald., 1894-03-14

IT Is q significant sign OF the rapid
revolution that is taking place OH the
silver question that the merchants in
London engaged in the East India and
China trade have, through the chamber
of commerce, represented to the gov
eminent the urgency of reassembling as
soon 80 possible the international none
tary conference. England is beginning
to feel acutely the evil effects of silver
demonstration. The merchants trading
with silver-using countries have bsen
convinced by the practical losses they
have been subjected to. When the
blizzard of reputation OF bonds payable
in gold by silver countries has fairly
struck the financial target in the center,
then great howl for bimetallism will
go up from the stock exchange and
Lombard street. Silver has seen its
darkest hour and the bright Rrgentifer-
GUS lining of the passing cloud can now
be discovered lighting up the circum-
ambient heavens.

been violated; but, az this has been re-
fused, India has been left on the horns
of a dilemma, to choose between two
evils, which have been sptly designated
the Policy OF Drift and the Policy oi
Despair She has chosen the latter,
and 1t now remains to be seen which is
the greater OF the two"
The result of the closing Of the mints
to silver last June, thus far, is chaos.
The rupee currency of India does not
remain at par with gold at any steady
ratio; neither is it at par with silver in
general. The attempt to fix an arbitrary
par with sterling at Is pence for the
rupee has utterly failed, and silver
has fallen much below one shilling
to the rupee; consequently, the rupee
is no longer international money with
silver countries, and cannot be exported
to them as heretofore without loss.
Hence trade with those countries 10 dis
organized, whilst trade and exchange
with England is more than ever q mere
gamble. This state of affairs cannot
last always. If matters keep getting
worse, which they are certain to do,
England will get walked up after while,
and will be willing to cooperate with
other nations in the adoption of the
only remedy for the existing monetary
chaos, namely, international bmetal-
liam

HAS REACHED rHR BND.

The Brazilian rebellion will doubtless
be ended by the action OF Ds CANA in
taking refuge under the Portuguese flag
and asking for terms from Peixoto.
With the intercession OF the foreign ad-
mirals we have NO doubt that the terms
asked for, which are humane and rea-
sonable, will be granted. The insurgent
admiral was driven to this extreme by
the arrival of the government feet in
Rio harbor, and taking a position from
which it could attack with advantage
the rebel stronghold at Villegsignon.
1t was expected that fire would open
yesterday at noon, when the forty eight
hours' notice would have expired. 1t
was expected that when the govern
ment fleet put in an appearance
there would be great sea fight
but the Aquidabsn and Republics
were doubtless considered by Ds
CANA too weak to face the squad
ron. 1t is very possible also that the
government war vessels have been rein
forced by the two new powerful armed
cruisers built at Toulon and momen-
tarily looked for in Brazilian waters.
Discouraging news had also been re-
ceived by Da CANA from the southern
provinces. One of the best generals
amongst the land forces Of the insur-
gents had given up the struggle and re-
tired from the field and his forces dis
persed. We believe that the end of this
civil war has been reached, and that
the Brazilians will now unite to do all
in their power to "bind up the wounds
of their country" and restore it to the
paths OF peace. The commerce of Bra
zil and all her internal industries have
been greatly set back by this protracted
struggle, and the chief city, Rio de Jam
eiro, has been materially injured by the
long bonn bardment. But return to
peace will soon bring prosperity again to
this rich and interesting country.

The landing of marines at Bluefelds
by the British ship Cleopatra to protect
the Mosquito kingdom from the inva-
sion of a Nicsraguan force has been
viewed with great deal of jealous con-
Germ by the people OF the United States.
The Mosquito kingdom is a small strip
of land lying between Nicaragua and
Honduras, on the coast Of the Caribbean
sea. The Mosquitoes are barbarous
people descended from runaway negro
slaves from the West Indies and the alb.
origines of the coast. The kingdom is
small in its extent and the government
9 parody. The king, even. could not be
permitted to appear in opera bouffe with
the very scant wardrobe he has to draw
from. In the sixties England took this
farcical realm under its protection, and
since that time has affected to exercise
. paternal care over it, so that when
ever the king gets into any trouble with
his neighbors he calls upon it for pro-
lection. We have no idea that Great
Britain has any serious intention to
gobble up this toy kingdom. In view of
the fact that it would create trouble
with the United States if she did 80, her
foreign Office will wisely decide that
Mosquitia is not worth the powder.

IT WILL be time enough to pass iudg-
ment on the Breckenridge scandal when
all the testimony is in. But in the
meantime it is not making it trial by
newspaper to say that the evidence 30
far sdduced is very damaging to the
Kentucky statesman. According to Mrs.
Ex-Governor Blsckburn's testimony the
defendant not only Tilted tbs young
woman shsmefully, but abused her most
outrsgeously before doing so, and that
he lacks a good deal of the type of the
old-fashioned gallant and chivalrous gen.
tlemen OF Kentucky.
