ANOTHER SEVERE STORM.
Richmond Visited by Wind, Rain,
md HaiI-Lightnins's Work.

Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday at
ternoon another severe storm swept over
the city. A little before 8 o'clock black
clouds begun to gather In the western
horizon, and they formed thick and fast.
Rain fell In torrents for about an hour
without cessation. The downpour was
preceded by violent windstorm and by
thunder and lightning, and was followed
by a brief hail-storm.
While. so far as could be learned last
evening. no great damage was done by
the tempest, a number of trees were
blown down In different sections Of the
CITY. and a large frame blacksmth-shop
located in rear of the property OF II. NJ.
Smith, ON the line Of Shockoe creek, was
washed away, and the timbers coursed
down the stream and blocked one OF the
arches under the streets. A brief period
of dismal darkness preceded the storm.
The city seemed almost wrapped in night.
and the gas was lighted or the electricity
turned on in nearly every house in town.
1t was probably the darkest day the citi-
zens ever experienced.
MEADOWyILLE BARN BURNED.
Passengers who arrived here on the
steamer Pocahontas report that the mag
nif1cent new barn at Meadowville. the
farm of the late T.. T.. Barney, was de-
stroyed by fire during the storm, to-
eether with about 5000 worth OF hay
stored therein. The storm was raging
at its worst at the time the boat passed
Meadowyille, and II is presumed that
lightning caused the igniting of the build

BITTER MR.. BYRNE.
rRESr ~soUxD-MoNEYv LEAGUE
DENouNcEs SENATOR STEWART.
Hal FLOODS QUICK REPLY.
He Tells the Rich New Yorker II
In Easy to Attack Man 1000 Miles
Away-A Lively Meeting Yester-
day ut MilIbore'.

MILLBORO, VA. September 15.-tSpe-
cial)r-At the Warm Springs to-day there
was lively time. The discussion was
opened by Captain Camm Patteson, in
a speech OF three quarters of an hour,
In which he alluded to the supporters
OF the Indianapolis platform as the po-
litical four hundred, who occupied the
Ward McAllister's four hundred occu-
pied to New York society. He further
stated that he had more respect for
Republican who voted openly for Nc
Kinley than for the political Pharisees
who attempted to do indirectly what they
had not the courage to do directly.
Mr.. Patteson was followed by a gen.
tleman whose presence nobody knew any,
thing about, a Mr.. Byrne, to whom the
Republican, Mr.. w. +. Craig. gave half
Of his time. 1t appears that this Mr..
Byrne Is a rich New York inanufac-
turer. and the President of the Sound
Money League OF America. He made n
singular speech, and denounced the advo-
Gates of free silver as dishonest men,
and was reckless in his abuse. He de-
nounced Senator w. NJ. Stewart severely,
and stated that there was a silver con-
spiracy I'm Europe TO compel its free
coinage here, and, coupled it with the
remarkable assertion that we would be
flooded with silver from India and China.
The Republican orator followed In an
amusing speech, and received some APP
plause. Then came the turn OF Hon. II.
ID. Flood. who commenced by congratu-
lating Mr.. Byrne on his courage in de-
nouncing Senator Stewart so bitterly
when he was 1900 miles off. He hurled
back with emphasis his attack on Vir-
ginia's people.
His ridicule of the gentleman who took
occasion TO state that he was worth $780,
900. and had just discharged 500 men.
was superb. He took up his opponents
arguments step by step. and refuted
them, and, as he made hit after hit in
reply to the millionaire manufacturer
the applause was generous and long-con-
tinued. On the whole, II was great
day for the silver cause

Considering the scarcity Of gold, that

thinking man the height of folly TO

SILVER IN HAWAII.
The Little Island Republic Keeps the
White Metal ut Par with Gold.

The only money bearing the Hawai-
ian stamp is silver, and S1,000,UO0 of
this money is in circulation in the is
land republic. The issue consists of
dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dol
lars. Silver certificates are issued
against deposits of these silver dollars
in the Hawaiian treasury, the denOmi-
nations being $40, $50, $50 and 500 bills.
Not one ounce of gold is held in a re-
serve fund to redeem this silver. The
government declines to receive its own
money in payment of taxes or customs.
In all other countries but Hawaii this
silver is worth but so cents on the dol
lar, and will not circulate at all, even
at that discount. The banks in Homo
lulu There are three) charge two per
cent. for exchanging gold for silver,
and give one per cent. premium for
gold deposits. But in all ordinary busi-
ness-trading transactions this silver is
On O par with American gold, no differ
ence being made In the price of any
article, whether gold or silver is offered
in payment therefor. United States
silver certificates or dollars are not
treated as gold, and are put on the same
status as Hawaiian silver certificates
or dollars by the banks.
Wages of skilled labor In Hawaii are
from 10 10 100 per cent. higher than in
the United States. From SIS to $l25
h month is paid clerks in dry goods
stores, drug stores, wholesale houses,
etc. Bookkeepers receive from $50 to
$3.50, according TO position. Soldiers
get $50 q month, instead of S13, as here.
Printers receive from $50 to $50 O week.
And this list can be indefinitely extend
cd. No unskilled labor rs performed by
white men. Living costs about IS per
cent. more than in Chicago. The claim
that high wnges are the result of Ha-
waits being O new country falls fiat
when the fact Is looked ut that before
this silver was in circulation men who
now receive from 500 to $25 a week re-
ceived sig to sis. Hawaii was much
newer" then. Hawaii's millionaires
mve lately shown considerable hostili-
ty toward this silver issue, and as the
common people have really nothing
whatever 70 say about the government
there, they will, perhaps, succeed in
lowering it's value.
The population OF Hawaii Is, In round
numbers, $4,000, divided among the fol-
lowing nationalities: Forty thousand
Chinese and japanese principally cool
ies), $4,000 Hawaiian natives and Portu-
guese (peasants), 1900 Americans and
Europeans, other than Portuguese. If
these $4,000 people can keep at par with
American gold 81 100000 silver, with no
gold reserve fund, no redemption in
gold by the government-on the con-
trary. in the face of refusal by the
government TO accept this silver in pay
ment of taxes or customs-and do this
at time when q revolution is either in
progress or expected all the, time, can
not the American republic, with 10000
600 of intelligent people, circulate and
keep of par with gold as much silver as
