 Washington, Sept 26.-People who live along the Atlantic coast from Geor- gia to Massachusetts will tomorrow have taste of a pretty lively gale while the men who go out to sea in ships in defiance of the warning will do so at the peril of their lives. The hurricane has been slowly working up the coast of Florida, and the indica- tions are that it will recuEve from the coast near St. Augustine and put sea- ward with an increased forward move ment in north by northeasterly direc- tion. New York will feel it by to-inor- row night. Immediately after morning reports were received at the weather bureau to-day message was sent to Gray Gables notifying the president of the conditions and advising him not to take sail until after the storm had passed.
 All the principal towns along the coast from Connecticut to Florida were warn ed of violent gales and high tides. The center of this storm, according to the latest calculation, will be out at sea. but the coast cities, like Washington, Baltimore and New York, will feel much of the wind, although it is not expected to reach the velocity of the storm of last August, when a record of fifty-eight miles was reached.
