ing and Consolidate.
VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 1.-THE gigan-
tic coal combine which has been in
process of formation for some time past
between the Dunsmuir and their old
time rivals, the new Vancouver Coal
company Of Nanaimo, is reported to
have been contaminated. For long
time both sides have felt that the fight
between them was simply waste of
energy and money, SO that when the
subject of combine was preached, the
Dunsmuirs and their competitors fell in
with the idea by which the coal trade
of British Columbia could be brought
under control Of what will practically
be huge monopoly, capable of freezing
out all competitors ON the coast. The
output Of the mines at Wellington and
Nanaimo Is to be limited, it is an

be raised. Coal now stands at 81 ton
in Victoria, only so miles from the
mines, and any rise would be a great
hardship.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE storm
which broke upon this section shortly
after midnight has done great damage
ON sea and ON land. The tracks, of the
New Jersey Southern railroad between
Seabright and Highland Reach, N. j.,
have been covered with sand washed
upon them by the waves. The fishing
smack Louise was driven ashore at
Highland Beach and is a total loss.
Her crew of 10 men We're taken OF by
the hfesaving crew. A steamship APP
parently in distress, was sighted soon
after daylight at anchor some distance
off Long Branch. While the sea was
running so high, no effort was made to
establish communication between the
steamship and the shore. AT 10 a. IN.
the wind shifted and the storm some
what abated. The steamship does not
seem to be in any immediate danger.
In Seabright and vicinity number OF
buildings were unroofed. At Long

to the East River Gas company
Was Blown Down
to within five feet of its foundation.
The tank was 200 feet high and 1S5
feet wide. The police wires We're all

house at the corner of Steinway and
Flushing avenue, which had reached
the height of one and one-half stories
was blown down.
In Jersey City, the damage is con.
fined to the telegraph, telephone, troll
ley and electric light wires. In three
instances horses were killed by coming
in contact with the live wires. Many
shade trees were uprooted.
Hard on Ocean Steamers.
An unusually high tide washed the
east end of Staten Island, doing damage
to several small yachts which lay ex-
posed at their anchorage close along
shore. The only steamers reaching
Quarantine during the morning were

Teutonic from Liverpool. There prob
ably are several other steamers Of the

almost in the teeth of it. The passen-

Catholic Archbishops Assemble In Annua

Conferences.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE annual
conference of the archbishops OF the
United States began at the residence OF
Archbishop Ryan during the morning.
There were present: Cardinal Gibbons
of Baltimore, Archbishops Corrigan OF
New York, Elder of Cincinnati, Ireland
of st. Paul, Janssens of New Orleans,
Katzer Of Milwaukee, Kenrick of st.
Louis, Riordan of San Francisco, Ryan
of Philadelphia. Salpointe Of Santa Fe,
N. NJ, and Williams Of Boston. Arch
bishop Satolli, the papal legate of the
T. - States, presided. As the ut
crecy surrounds the conference,
it will probably be some time before
the doings of the church dignataries
are known to the world at large;
but, owing to the fact that Arch.
bishop Satolli himself will preside, 1t Is
not likely that the present meeting will
see such stormy scenes as those which
took place at that memorable gathering
at the residence of Archbishop Corrigan
in New York, shortly after the advent
of the papal legate in the fall of 1892.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 1.-THE letters
found in the little tin box in the Van

nominating to Van Leuven and DR..
Kissell. Van Leuven always advised
his clients, no matter where they re-
sided, to submit their cases to the ex-
amining boards at Cresco, DEBORAH.
Preston or Austin. The letters advise
the clients to "g rease" the examining
surgeons there. Over 800 of these let
tiers passed between Van Leuven and
his clients.
