LONDON, Nov. 29.-The latest reports
from various points along the coast
show that the gale which swept Eng
lish waters yesterday and last night
and which had not abated it's fury up
to noon today, was perhaps the worst
storm which this country has seen in
recent years. In many places it was
almost cyclonic in its violence, and the
long list of disasters includes a large
loss Of life, many wrecks of large ves-
sells and the loss of scores, IL not hun
dreds, Of smaller craft, with serious
damage to property ashore at many
important towns. In the north the
wind was accompanied by binding
snow and hail that hid the lights and
immensely increased the difficulties of
navigation. Many ships are known to
have foundered, in most cases, it is
feared, with all on board.
The district near the mouth of the
Thames has suffered severely, several
townships being partly submerged. The
Sheerness dock yard and the Wool
wich arsenal were inundated. AT Scar
boro, the fashionable watering place,
the sea wall was washed away. AT
Yarmouth, lowest Of towns of Nor
folk, the esplanades were flooded. AT
Liverpool the squall blew off the roofs
of several houses, threw down CHM
neys and tore up trees. The Mersey
flooded it's banks on the Chester side
and flooded the shore district for miles.
Similar disasters occurred at Holyhead,
where a number of valuable yachts
were sunk at their moorings. Scarcely

RESORTS WRECKED.
The scenes CT such popular resorts
as Yarmouth and Margate were of
great grandeur, but the damage done
was enormous Tremendous seas still
invade the gardens Of the hotels and
residences, wrecking the parades and
buildings, while much debris is floating
about. Immense damage has been done
to the government property at the
Sheerness dock yard and the Woolwich
arsenal. Several thousand troops are
ordered out today to remove thousands
Of pounds worth of ammunition and
stores from the wharves and sheds to
places of safety.
The tide continued to rise and in
vaded almost all the workshops,
quenched the engine fires and stopped
the electric lights. The workmen were
obliged to go home, wading knee deep.
Despite all the precautions, damage to
the amount of many thousands of
pounds was done. At Sheerness and
greensboro, two miles away, hundreds
Of acres have been submerged, scores
of cellars flooded, and 200 yards Of the
Sheerness pier have been swept away.

'I believe that to be the basis of

The people of Ohio have spoken, and I

Ohio has Republican legislature, and

He has contributed much time and

many years. He was the chief figure

Gov. Bushnell as the proper man to

signed to enter the cabinet as secre-

He received the Endorsement of the
Republican state convention. I regard
his election as a foregone conclusion -
"Do you know what Senator Fora
ker is doing?"
at have not seen Senator Foraker
recently, but I know that wherever
he is he is a Republican, and is doing
his duty as Republican. You should
remember that, two years ago, when
the Republican. convention met at
GAINESVILLE, o., Mr.. Foraker received
the unanimous Endorsement of that
convention for the senate; and when
the legislature met in the following
January, no caucus was held. The
Republican majority proceeded to elect
Senator Foraker, in accordance with
the will of the people, as expressed at
the convention and at the polls.
Therefore I am confident that Senator
Foraker looks upon the election of
Senator Hanna as a foregone conclu-
sion. There can be no doubt that he
will be elected"

Six vessels were wrecked between

THRILLING ESCAPES. 2
There have been rocket and life boat
reScues almost without number. Stories
of thrilling escapes come from all
points. On the Norfolk coast, between
Bacton and Happisburg, five vessels,
as yet unidentified, went down, and
the crews of all perished A number
near Yarmouth. The brig Rugby was
wrecked off Hemsby The coast guard
service made desperate efforts to save
the crew and succeeded in getting q
line on board. A dying woman was
'rocketed" in safety; and then the
brig capsized, all the rest of the ships

bodies of the captain and five seamen,
all wearing life belts, were washed

The British ship Larnica, Capt Bur-

Preston. The crew were saved, but the
position of the vessel is dangerous.

they have horse meat. They call 1t corned

How do you know it's horse meat?"
"Why, don't you suppose l know it's horse

difference between beef and horse meat"
You say they just have little cabbage?'
"Yes. just a sample like just to say they
had some. You see they have 1t distribut-

just little on each plate. Then the fel-

Senator Hanna will be elected TO I'LL
out John Sherman's unexpired term,
and also for the six years following

What has become of the opposition!
"There is no organized opposition.
While it is true that. some Republicans
in Ohio would prefer the election OF
some other man, it is equally true that
the Republicans, as body, Will stand
by the declarations of the Republican
convention which was held at Ioleoo
last summer when Senator Hanna was
unanimously indorsed for the senate.
He has been chosen by the people; and
their representatives in the legislature
will not undertake to thwart the Will
Of the people as expressed at the polls.
But senators are not elected py ol-
rect vote Of the people, In ONO, or any
other state"
while that is technically true, 1t Is
also true that the people are taking
such matters in their own hands and
are bringing about a public sentiment
which is becoming an unwritten law.
Eight years ago Senator Villas was
elected by the people of Wisconsin, ana
the legislature of that state ratified the
popular will. At the same time Gen.
Palmer went before the people OF LII

he was elected The Illinois legislature
merely ratified the popular will. AT the
same time the people of Iowa elected
Senator Allison for his fourth term,
and, although great efforts were made
to prevent the return Of Senator ALI

did the popular will by returning Mr.
Allison to the senate. Four years ago

PRAGUE, Nov. 29.-There have been
fresh disturbances and serious conflicts
with the police here today. The win
dows of the new German theater and
the German club were smashed. Ulti-
mateIy the disorders became so serious
that the military were ordered out to
disperse the rioters.
The windows of the provincial mu-
scum were smashed by the rioters, who
then gathered in front of the Casino.
Here they were charged by the mill
tarv and dispersed at the point of the
havonet. Several persons were slightly
wounded. The police have made seven
arrests, among the prisoners being An.
archist Asger. By 10 o'clock tonight
quiet had been restored and the sololers
were withdrawn.

asked ii it was not the man who tried to
bite Deputy Warden Lemon, and the witness
asserted confidently that he did not believe
this niger knew enough to bite.
Still another ex-convict was then summon
ed to the stand, a positive. very assertive
young fellow who Rad been twice sent up,
twice paroled and twice sent back for break
ing his parole, he said. The substance of his
testimony was that when Lemon hit Rogan,
Rogan was submissive and had tod the
deputy warden that he was ready to go with
him. The witness did not see the original
fight between Rogan and Powers. Witness
thought Lemon regular old snake, and
said be always looked as though he hated
himself. When witness was leaving the
prison, he said, Assistant Deputy Warden
Coiigan tore up his diary.
1t was after 6 o'clock when the examna-
ton of this witness was finished. Judge
Nethaway stated that he would like to catch

until this morning, when another meeting
will be held at the senate chamber.
