1t is Expected That Secretary Carlisle
VIII Accept the Resignation Today.
There was no special change today i'll the
status of the case of Supervising Architect
O'Rourke. His enforced letter of resigna-
ton reposed on Secretary Carlise's desk
and the Secretary so busy with other
more important matters that he did not
get chance to act upon IL up to 80
o'clock this afternoon, when he went home
to get his lunch. During the forenoon he
received visits from a number of New Jer-
sey politicians and other friends of Mr..
O'Rourke. including Mr.. Edward Everett
Bell of Newark. They endeavored to in
duce the Secretary to reconsider his action.
but so far as known received little or no
encouragement. 1t is understood that Sec
rotary Carlisle informed one of the callers
that he had acted with great reluctance in
the matter and had delayed action as long
as possible in the hope that the situation
would improve. He gave the impression
that he would accept Mr.. O'Rourke's resig-
nation this afternoon, to take effect at
once.
Omcial IncOmpatibility.
official incompatibility is the principal
trouble between the Secretary and the
architect, and the breach gives no signs of
closing. 1t is stated on authority that the
architects attitude on the convict labor
question has no bearing on the question at
all and that he was retired for the simple
reason that he persstently violated the
Secretary's orders in regard to the admin
istration of the business OF his office. Mr..
O'Rourke was at his office today as usual.
He still declines TO give out the CORE
spondence between himself and the Secre-
tary or to make any statement on the sub
ject. He insists, however, that the Secretary
has acted without a proper knowledge of
the facts and that he will soon realize his

For several weeks the United States Light
house Board has been conducting certain cleo
trical experiments In the neighborhood Of the
Scotland lightshp of Sandy Hook. which. II
the prodigious mystery made OF them by the
Lighthouse Board means anything, must be OF
highly mOmentOus nature. The experiments
have been conducted with absolute secrecy and
the Board has dropped dark hints from time to
time about the necessity OF keeping the matter
as quiet as possible lest foreign Governments
should get an inkling of what was going on.
Several weeks ago the Board gave public no.
tice that it was going to begin and warned mas
tiers of vessels not To anchor or pass within 900
feet of the lightship. With that preface IL began
TO lay a network OF submarine ca bles the location
OF which was marked by small floating wooden
buoys resembling logs OF wood. A submarine
cable was also laid from the lightship TO a land
ing place on the northeastern point of Sandy

perts began work. and have been hard at II ever

HALIFAX, Oct. 1O.-The gale which swept over
New England this morning Is raging along the
coast of Nova Scotia tonight. The wind is
blowing with great velocity. ALHalifax there
is very heavy sea outside, and the squalls of rain
are binding In force.
No damage has yet been reported, but It is a
terrible night at sea.
A cableGram from st. Pierre this evening says
the Island OF Miquelon experienced a dread full
rain storm last night, extended In circle, and
causing widespread destruction and great loss
of life.
The gale roged from the northeast and this
morning daylight revealed q terrible state OF
affairs in the neighbornood of st. Pierre. No
less than fifty vessels were strewn along the
shore, most of them hopelessly stranded, and
many of the complete wrecks.
So far 10 lives are known to have been lost
but the list will no doubt be swelled considera-
bly, as the list Is as vet incomplete. and several
vessels are missing Reports from other points
are not yet at hand, hut IL is expected they will
show the disaster to have been much worse

fleet OF 800 bankers had TO abandon the fishery
on account OF the hurricane OF the Banks on
Sept. 20 and 80 The fishermen have been ar
irving at Newfoundland during the past few
days, reporting more or less loss of outfit.

dozen vessels are missing, and II Is feared they

their ever being again heard from are expressed.

sternation in the colony.
