STRUCK bY q storm.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 3.-Re-
ports from the remote sections where
the storm visited increase the number
of the dead.
At Double Sink, in Levy county, a
large settlement, nearly every house
was swept away, and Miss Jennie May
field killed
|. Nearly every house in Lafayette
county has been destroyed. Nothing is
left of Mayo, the county seat. One man
and a woman were killed there by a
falling tree.
At Cedar Keys the rescuers report
picking up dead bodies along the coast.
At Shell Mound, a great pleasure re-
sort, party of eleven, five men, three
children and three women, were camp
ed on the Suanee river. A party of sur
veyors found the dead bodies strewn
on the shore under logs and bushes.
Some of those who went down to Ce-
dar Keys last night and returned today
say that in addition to the eleven
bodies named above eight others have
been found on the beach. Scores of
spOngers and fishermen are still miss
ing and the probability is that they are
drowned.

Yukon Miners Resent Levylng of Fri

SEATTLE, Wash. Oct. &C. A. Car
penter. newspaper man and mine oper>
ator. who has been in Alaska off and
on for two years, returned to Seattle
on the steamship Al XII this afternoon.
He reports that British mounted police
under command OF Captain Constan-
tine are levying fragrant tribute upon
American citizens and aggressiyely
encrOa ching on United States territory
at Forty-Mile on the Yukon. Accord
ing 10 his claim, which is also that Of
the entire Yukon mining population,
the British line has been extended fif-
teen miles southwark upon Uncle
Sans soil. Whether rightfully or
wrongfuIly, bluecoats in the name of
her Majesty are collecting a SIS annum
head tax or license from all miners
within the disputed district.
In addition to this, Carpenter says
high duties must be paid upon all Am
erican goods going into the town of
Forty-AfiIe. The miners are very
much dissatisfied, Carpenter AYERS,
over the action of the British author
tiles in thus levying tribute, as well as
chagrined at the alleged apathy Of the
Federal Government in the premises,
and he believes serious trouble sooner
or later between the British soldiery
and citizen miners is inevitable.

Cuban Sympathizers Said TO Have Az
tackled Spanish Consul
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ga story
comes from Jacksonville, Fla, which,
If true, may further complicate the re-
lations between this country and the
Government of Spain. The story is to
the effect that a fight occurred there
yesterday between a party of Cuban
sympathizers on the one side and the
Spanish Consul there and some Pink
erton detectives on the other, in which
the latter party was worsted.
The Spanish Consul and the detect
ives were observing the movements of
the Cubans, whose leader was Colonel
Emilio Nunez of this city. AS no dead
lier weapons were used than fists,
there were no fatalities, but the Consul
and his men are said to have received
a severe drubbing.
The Consul communicated the affaiI
to the Spanish Minister at Washing
ton, and the latter is said to have
made a demand upon President Cleve-
land for reparation for an assault upon
a Spanish Consul and the insult result
ing therefrom to the crown of Spain.
1t was also learned here today that
the famous little filibustering steamer
Laurada is suspected of being about
to run another filibustering expedition
to Cuba.

Campania, which was sighted of Fire
Island at z: % tonight, but which will
not arrive at her dock until early this

There will be no ceremony in his
honor at New York. He will report
as soon as practicable in Washington,
to Cardinal Satolli, whom he has sue

Pope in the United States.
1t is believed that Archbishop Mar

the head of the Augustinian order, but
will nominate a deputy to exercise his
powers and functions while he remains
in the United States. There is a re-
port that the new Apostolic Delegate
carries with him the appointment of a
successor to the late Bishop Ryan of
Buffalo. Two names have been men

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Secretary of
the Navy Herbert returned from Eu~
rope today He declared that from his
study of foreign navies while abroad,
he was convinced that our navy was
second to none in the world. He had
visited number of gun and steel
works while in England and said he
had seen nothing absolutely new nor
to excel American manufacture.
Among the places the Secretary visit
ed were the Armstrong Gun Works and
the Krupp Gun Works. He had also,
he said, visited the French naval depot
at Toulon. All he would say about
politics was that he was going to vote
for Palmer and Buckner.

pected that steel piling will be sunk
to take the weight Of the forts, and
these piles will then be connected by
steel plates until the water can be
pumped out Ample space below the
lowest tide level will thus be secured
for machinery, magazines and quarters.
Upon solid foundations will then be
erected sloping barbettes. above which
will be revolving turrets. The back
ing of both barbettes and turrets will
be much more solid than that which
can be given to similar defenses on
board ship, and there Is every probable
ity that the forts will be absolutely
invulnerable to the heaviest ord
nance mounted on any ship of war. AS
the barbettes must extend several feet
below the lowest low water mark, and
also several feet above the highest high
water mark, it Is proposed to face them
with cement so applied as to protect
the metal from the corrosive action of
the salt water.
Each turret will have its own revolv-
ing machinery. The thickness Of the
armor plate will be determined by the
relative status of armOr and the gun
at the time when the forts are ready for
their steel protection, and, to certain
extent, the caliber and length Of gun
will be dependent upon that relative
status. 1t is to be expected, however,
that the four forts will contain eight Of
the most powerful pieces that can be
made.

The Moon.

In the opinion of Professor Asaph
Hall, as recently expressed, the problem
of the physical constitution of the moon
is one that yet remains to be solved. OF
the "craters, scattered all over her sur
face, the volcanic theory Of formation
fails, he thinks, to be satisfactory. An
other notion to which he refers is that,
ages ago. the moon was surrounded by
swarms of "moonlets, which eventual
ly were precipitated upon the moons
surface, forming the craters now seen.
Thus, the Mare Imbrium was created
by the impact of huge moonlet, 90
miles in diameter. which. in striking,
was raised to such high temperature
as to melt it's substance. An immense
hole or crater being formed where it
struck, the molten material of the moon
let spread in every direction for vast
distance, partly filling up other craters; ;
fragments flew to distances Of thou
sand miles, scoring out deep burrows,
one of the latter, as now seen, being 1877
miles long, 10 to % miles broad, and
with depth of 1000 feet.

The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for fire. The experiment
of burning candle in closed vessel,
now so familiar to every schoolboy, Is
very old one, and the influence OF
blast of air on furnace had been prob
ably noticed from very remote period.
BY some it was affirmed to be the food
of fire, while by others the same belle1
was embodied in the phrase, Air nour-
ishes fire. - Again it was long ago OBJ
served that inter, substance well
known to the chemical philosophers OF
the past, could produce intense ignition.
1t was hence inferred that, since inter
possessed this property, 1t necessarily
followed that the two substances resem-
bled each other in composition. Accord
ing to Robert Boyle, the air contained
volatile inter, while Lord Bacon held
that air contained volatile, crude
and windy spirit" and thunder and
lightning were supposed to be due to
the presence of minute PARTICLES of this
inter diffused through the air.
The important bearing Of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one Of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which it owes
its power of supporting combustion, al
SO forms the largest elementary constit-
uent of inter and is likewise the source
of the power possessed by that body OF
supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
a philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed 1t to the gas in
the air which feeds fame and which re-
kindles a body presenting an ignited
point.-Scottish Review.

Four Steel Turrets to Be Erected on

Four Steel Turrets TO BE Erecteo on
Romer shoa1.
Naval men are wondering which
vould fare the worse, In event OF host1l-
tiles between John Bull and Uncle Sam,
the great cities on the big lakes or the
seaport towns There is unanimous
belief. and it has been freely expressed
of late, that not one Of the large cities
on the Atlantic coast Is even moder-
ately we'll protected from assault by
Great Britain, and the same can be
said Of the lake cities. Not only are
the defenses weak, but there Is lack
Of modern guns at all Of the cities.
The new defenses for New York
spoken of comprise four steel turrets
to stand upon the Romer shoal. The
site Is peculiarly suitable for defensive
purposes. 1t lies on a line between
Sandy Hook and Coney Island light,
little nearer the former than the latter.
The shallower parts Of the shOal ex-
tend about mile and half on north
west and southeast line, with varying
width of from one-quarter to one-half
a mile, within which limits the average
depth Of water at low tide Is about nine
Feet although in spots 1t shadows to
three or four feet.
On a line running about east-nOrth-
east and west-sOuthwest, across Romer
shoal, according to this design, four
steel turrets are to be set up. The old
method Of building a foundation in
shallow water by throwing down loose
rock and then placing concrete blocks
on top of this rip-rap work will prob
ably not now be adopted. 1t is ex-
