SEVEN sEAMEN swAMPED.
Brave Men From a British WarshIp
Lost In "a Storm.

Seattle, Wash. Sept. SO.-The sailing
schooner l.. NJ Morrill,, Capt. Cantilli. of
this city, arrived Monday night at
schwaer's dock. direct from Unalaska.
after a cruise of nine months sealing on
the Japan coast and Bering sea.
The schooner brings the news of the
loss of seven men from the British
cruiser Satellite in Clutch Harbor. on the
night of Sept. L. during one of the worst
storms that ever struck the coast. The
men went out in one of the ships boats
to save another smaller boat from the
vessel containing two men. Eight men.
under command of the first Lieutenant,
were in the boat that left the Satellite.
II was, as far as could be learned. picked
up bodily by the wind and overturned.
one of the sailors swan ashore, the
others were never again seen. The next
morning their boat was seen high and dry
on the beach on the opposite side from
the town. The two men whom the lieu-
tenants crew started out to save reached
the land In safety.

FEARS ron CEDAR KEYS.
The west Florida Coast Town Re-
Dorted swept Away.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept So.-The only
report from Cedar Key comes by way
of Gainesville, fifty miles northeast Of tho
Culf town, and is to the effect that Cedar
Key has been swept away.
After demolishing Cedar Key the storm.
moving in northeasterly direction,
struck Wfliston, a village of 400 inhabi-
tants. AT that place eleven houses were
wrecked one person killed and fifteen
wounded some, II Is feared, fatally.
In Baker county, which adtoins Brad
ford, the work Of destruction was con-
tinned Macclenny, Sanderson, Glen, St.
Mary and Olustee. In this county were
almost completely destroyed. AT olls-
tee three churches were blown from their
foundations. No one was killed outright
in these towns but over twenty were in
iured. Of whom Mrs. Richardson, James
McAlpin and Moab Webster will die.
Continuing in Suwanee county, the hur-
ricane struck Live Oak, dem0lslhing many
houses and inturing several persons, but
none fatally. Welborn, in Suwanee coun-
ty, was also wrecked.
Leaving Suwanee the storm continued

WASHINGTON IN THE WIND.
The City Given a Lively Shaking
Up and One Building Demolished.

Washington, Sept. SO.-The West Indies
tornado which struck Washington be-
tween 1l:SO o'clock and midnight last
night. respected neither official nor dlplo-
matte proprietes.
1t ripped off some Of the coping OF the
white house and laid low most of the his
toric trees in the white house grounds,
including the elm tree which Lincoln
planted, and this gave the relic fanatics
a fruitful field for their operations.
1t carried away part of the roof Of the
state department, where the official docu-
ments are stored. but fortunately left
them uninjured.
The costly roof Of the patent Office was
picked up and distributed all around the
nelghborhood, and sky-lights half an inch
thick were remorselessly beaten in. The
naval observatory, and, In fact every 9TH
er public building, was more or less dam
aged.
Churches and theaters suffered alike.
The slate roof Of the Church of the Cove
nant, where President Harrison used TO
worship. was blown down and each square
slate, by a curious freak, planted Itself
upright in the grass parking which sur
rounds the edlhce.
Still more disastrous was the fate Of the
new 1Ofk avenue presbyterian CnurCn,
which Mr.. Bryan recently attended, sit
ting in Lincolns pew. The whole tower
of the edifice was reduced to match-wood
and persons I'm search of souvenirs had no
difficulty I'm obtaining them.
Nearly every other church In the city
suffered more or less, and their antipodes,
the theaters, were equally visited.
The total destruction of property in
Washington city by the storm is estimated
at nearly S5OO,OO0.
The wall of a building, the erec-
tion of which was nearly completed,
on Pennsylvania avenue between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets, collapsed. The
west wall was blown in and crashed into
the roofs of two adjoining buildings, and
a saloon and lunch room. Several per-
sons were for a time buried In the ruins,
but with one exception we're unhurt.
On Seventh street much damage TO
stores and other structures is reported.
Shade trees in many parks and along the
streets suffered in a lamentable degree,
and the streets are practically blocked by
the wrecks I'm many parts OF the city.
In Alexandria just across the Potomac,
the damage done by the storm is esti-
