AT Boston, Too.

BosroN, Oct. 12 - The West India
hurricane which has swept the New
England coast for the past 36 hours
with almost unparalleled severity, COM
pletely tying up shipping, is subsiding
tonight, and the worst has probably been
experienced, while for the first time dur
ing the entire blow rain is falling Not
vessel of any description has left port
since late Saturday afternoon. Every
point along the coast, from Newport to
Eastport, reports practically the same
condition, and there is an entire ab-
sence of any kind of shipping outside
the harbor. A high wind velocity in
this city was felt shortly before noon to-
day, when so miles an hour was record
ed. The absence of rain has been one
of the most noteworthy features of the
storm. At Block Island the wind reached
a maximum of 50 miles this morning.
Vessels which arrived today and fleet,
consisting of three steamers and four
schooners, all reported terrific sea run
ming in the bay, while the roadsteads of
the harbor are completely filled with
storm bound craft. The storm, assisted
by very high wind, was very destruc-
tive to small boats in the harbor and to
beach houses along the shore. Fifteen
yachts broke from their moorings off
South Boston and tonight are high and
dry on the marshes at Dorchester, while
q number are sunk in various points in
the upper bay. Along the main coast
the storm was not 80 severe.

Temple and the chaplain.
Temple lost his wife. Of course I, as

he found difficulty in expressing, for he

Boston and Montana Ore Being Treated
at the Butte Smelters.
The Butte Inter Mountain says:
1.-THE Butte and Boston smelter at
Meaderville is treating more ore at pres
ent than for many years past and prepa-
rations are being made to increase the
output. Only Boston and Montana ore
is being handled and the lessees OF the
Butte and Boston properties were in
structed several weeks ago that their
ore would not be taken in future at the
smelter. The concentrating plant will
also be working to it's full capacity in a
few days.
"The eight O'Hara furnaces, four
matte furnaces, and the blast furnace at
the smelter are now actively engaged in
turning out ore and with the emelter
and concentrator in operation it is esti-
mated that about 1000 tons OF ore can
be turned out daily. 1t is rumored IN
Meat,erville that it is possible that the
lower works of the Boston and Montana
will be started up within short time on
Boston and Montana ore."

An AWFUL GALE.
Sweeps the Shores of New York and
New Jersey and Does Vast
Damage.
BIGGEST TIDAL WAVE IN YEARS
The Beaches Swept Clean Of Pavll.
ions and Bathing Houses-Damage
Estimated at 100000.

New YORK, Oct. ia veritable hur-
ricane swept over this section of the
country yesterday and today. The wind
blew with terrific force, reaching at
Sandy Hook velocity of rs miles an
hour last night. Tides rose to height
many feet greater than for years, and the
waves along the Atlantic coast swept in
with force that carried everything be-
fore it and did damage to the amount of
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
Sandy Hook and points along the Jersey
coast felt the fury of the storm most Of
all, but Coney Island experienced, SO far
as has yet been learned, the most direful
results. Beaches were swept clean, pa
vilions were overturned and carried sea-
ward, bathing houses and board walks,
everything not far inland on the famous
island, we're torn up and piled high be-
yond the coast line or carried out to sea.
At Brighton Beach the stone walks in
front of the big hotel we're under water
and toward the end of this afternoon the
famous Seidl concert hall was inundated
and partially carried away. The we'll
kept lawns in front Of the Oriental hotel
and Manhattan Beach hotel we're laid
waste and the lower portions of the
hotels flooded. Innumerable smaller
buildings were simply picked up and
bodily carried away by wind or waves
As far as Rockaway the fury of the gale
was indescribable. Those houses which
were built on piles in sand we're washec
away and those higher up, which fol
years have been out Of reach of the high
est tides, were today flooded. Along tht
Jersey coast most of the damage dont
was to piers and breakwaters. Prepara
tions had been made, as forewarnings O
the storm had been given some days be
fore. AS yet very little damage to ship
ping has been reported, for, on accoun
Of warnings, many vessels delayed sail
ing and others which had cleared re
turned for safe anchorage. An estimat
of the financial loss along Coney beacl
places it at 100000.

WAS DROWNED IN SUN RIVER
Lee CantlOu of Little Milwaukee
Meets Death Near Sun River
Bridge.
He and Companions Were Attempting
to Cross in FlatbOat--Body
Unrecovered.

An accident of tragic nature took
place Sunday afternoon sat Sun river,
near the American brewery, which re-
suited in the drowning of one man and
a narrow escape for two others. The
accident occurred about l p. M, but
news of the affair did not reach town for
an hour later. 1t appears that Lee
Cantlou and James Lopren, two men
who live in Little Milwaukee and work
at the smelter, concluded to take advan-
tage of some spare time while they were
laid off to go on hunting trip up Sun
river after ducks.
They made preparations to be gone
several days, taking lunch with them,
and water spaniel. the two started
yesterday forenoon and had just got as
far as the brewery on their trip, when
they concluded that it would be better
to hunt on the other side of the river.
An old fatbo't was moored near the
brewery, and man living near
by volunteered to take them
across. The wind was blowing
hard at the time, and as the boat was
overloaded, the water began to run in
over the sides. The river is quite wide
at this point and they had not gone far
when enough water had run in to make
it evident that the boat was going 10
sink. The men became alarmed and
jumped overheard, two Of them
reaching the opposite shore, but the
third, Lee Cantlou, was encountered
with heavy overcoat, the pockets
of which were filled with shells
and he unfortunately struggled into
deeper water in his efforts to escape and
was drowned. His companions reached
the other shore just in time to see him
60 down for the last time. His dog went
into the water and got his hat and
brought it to the shore and lay down to
guard it, waiting for its master to ap
pear. The two survivors came to towr
to notify the authorities, and when they
returned with help the faithful anima
still lay on the bank guarding the deac
mans hat and seemed to realize thai
something had happened, as it whinet
from time to time.
Sheriff Dwyer, T. P. a. Howe, Corone1
Weitman and others with graphing
hooks searched till dark for the body
but did not find it and we're obliged t.
deeist till this morning, when the search
will be resumed. Meantime, the sac

Thunderstorms at Sea Are Nocturnal.

The greater frequency of thunder
storms in the winter and at night
around the coast of Scotland has been
shown by Buchan. When thunder
storms occur in New England in winter,
they arc generally observed along the
coast and after nightfall, as has been
shown by records of the New England
Meteorological society, Now Meinardus
Of the Deutsche Seewarto at Hamburg,
finds even the thunlerstorms of the bay
of Bengal to have distinct nocturnal
maximum (Annalen der Hydrog. 1895,
5O6-511). 1t has been suggested by
Grossmann and others that the cause Of
this contrast with thunderstorms on
land probably arises from the depend
ence Of the maritime storms on instabil-
ity produced by radiation and cooling
Of tho upper surface Of cloud sheets,
which proceeds best at night, especially
in winter nights; while local storms on
the land arise from the overhcating Of
lower layers Of air close to the hot
ground, and this condition has its maxi
mum on summer afternoons. Science.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
An Omission Which May Render Its De-
feat Desirable.

An Omission Which May Render Its De-
feat Desirable.
AS stated in The TRIBUNE some time
ago, there will be submitted to the quail
flied electors of the state, at the election
to be held three weeks from today, q
proposed amendment to section of ar
ticle of the constitution OF the state.
The object of the amendment, as in
tended by the Legislature, was to pre-
vent the wholesale naturalization, just
prior to an election, of aliens at the ex.
pense OF candidate. the proposed
amendment requiring that qualified
elector shall have been citizen Of the
United States for at least 90 days prior
to the election.
TIE amendment proposed is to have
the section read thus:
"Section 2. Every male citizen of the
ege OF twenty-one years who shall have
been a citizen of the United States for
ninety days, an inhabitant of this state
one year next preceding an election, and
for the last thirty days resident of the
county, and who shall have resided in
the precinct in which he may offer to
vote such time as may be prescribed by
law, shall be entitled to vote at such
| election in the election district of which
| he shall at the time be resident, and
not elsewhere, for all officers that row
are or hereafter may be elective by the
people; Provided, That 70 person con.
victed of felony shall have the right to
vo4e unless he has been pardoned."
The section which it is proposed to
amend now reads as followe: 'Section
2 Every male person of the age of q
years or over, possessing the following
qualifications, shall be entitled to vote
ut all general elections and for all otti-
GERS that now are or hereafter may be
elective by the people and upon all
questions which may be submitted to
the vote of the people," Here follow
qualifcations.]
Attention is called to the fact that in
the proposed amendment the words land
upon all questions which may be SUBJ
mitted to the vote OF the people" are
omitted.
These words being omitted, the adop-
ton Of the proposed amendment would
give to the legislature the power to pro-
vide that at every election at which the
question OF special tax, of the issuance
Of bonds, of the removal of school
house, of the adoption Of an amendment
to the constitution, or any similar ques-
tion, is submitted, no person shall vote
unless he is taxpayer. 1t would also
empower the legislature to authorize
women to vote at all such elections; and,
, in fact, would vest in the legislature, and
perhaps in minor bodies, the authority
to extend or limit the qualifications and
privileges of electors upon all subjects
except the election of officers.
The professed object of the amend
ment ie good; the effects of the errors in
it would be extremely bad.
In this connection attention is called
to the manner of voting on the amend
, ment under the new law. On the bal
lot will appear the words, "For the pro-
posed amendment and against the
proposed amendment" A voter must
not scratch out either phrase, but must
mark an X opposite the one for which
q he wishes to vote-voting in the same
manner as for an officer.

On Une Abolition of Organ Grinding.

There is to be rehearsal with four
fiddles I know it. 1t is long sonata,
and will last. with the necessary repe-
titions and goings back-"We'll take
that passage over again"-for at least
an hour. What shall I dor Take my
hat and rush out to the noisy street or
anywhere. How savagely do send the
organ man flying, but that does me no
good. Alasl l have to put up with my
musicians next door. Sometimes, in
deed, am congratulated '.pon my vi.
cinity. "These delightful musical peo'
pie, and such good musicl 1t must be a
constant entertainment for you"
But have to put up with them.
Therefore it is plain that the abolition
of the organ could be only tho most
feeble Of allevjations. and that to put
up all round is really the only way

Where the Orleans Princes Lie.

The Chapel Of Dreux, in which the
Duo de Nemours has been buried, has
specially sad interest for the Orleans
family. 1t was selected in 1878 by the
Duo dc Penthievre as the burial place Of
the children whom he had lost, for, out
Of his large family, only the Duchesse
d'Orleans, mother of Louis Philippe,
survived. Ten years afterward the Due
de Penthievre was himself buried at
Dreux, and his body was hardly cold
when the terrorists broke into the royal
chapel, desecrated the tombs, flung their
contents pellmell into ditch and de-
stroyed the ediflce.
In 1916 the Dowagcr Duchesse dor
leans laid the first stone Of the new
chapel, and the crypt was barely fin
ished when the 2-year-old child Of Louis
Philippe, Mile. de Montpensier, was
buried in it, There, too, was inferred
the Due d dOrloans, for whose loss Louis
Philippe was inconsolable, remarking,
when he Was reminded that he had
other children, Yes, that is true, but l
brought him up in order that he might
reign after me. ="
The royal tombs at Dreux are about
39 in number, and tho most remarkable
is that Ct the Duchesse d Orleans, Hell
ena of Mccklenburg, mother of the
Comte dc Paris, who, being a Protes.
tant, is separated in death from the rest
Of the family by d grille. Chapu, the
sculptor, has represented tho duchess
extending her hand to her husband
across the dividing screen. Everything
that can be done to donor the dead has
been attempted in this royal chapel, but
it will always remain a place of most
mournful memories to the members OF
the house Of Orleans and their sup.
porters. London Telegraph.
