La GASCOGNE'S PERIL.
The Big French Liner Has An
other Hard Fight With
Old Neptune.

New York, Nov. 16.-The big French
liner LaGascOgne, upon reaching this
port, brought ample evidence of the Sc
we're storms that prevailed upon the
ocean last week. a less staunch ship
might have had a sadder tale to re-
late.
The storm began with all its fury,
Commander BaudelOn said on the yes
sels first day out. From November Z
until Sandy Hook lightship was sighted
there was a succession of west and
SOuthWeSterly gales with tremendous
seas. Not a moment during the trip
was a passenger safe on deck and few
there were who ventured beyond the
securely barred iron door The unini-
tiated among the passengers suffered
greatly, keeping to their rooms all the
way across. Towering waves boarded
the big steamship almost continuously.
All the openings were boarded up as
lar as possible, and port holes could not
be opened for a moment.
The climax, but by no means the end
OF the storm, came on Thursday morn
ing. Eight bells in the morning watch
had just been sounded. The sea had
been running phenOmenally high and
the vessel was pitching and laboring
badly. Suddenly there was a shock
that felt as if the ship had struck an
other giantess of the sea. The next
instant there was a deluge of water
pouring into the dining saloon, sending
the thoroughly alarmed passengers
Scurrying out into the cOmpaniOnways
The vessel had been struck by a huge
mass of water, which buried her bows
and whole forward section, stopping
her progress for the time and forcing
her into a big hole in the water The
wave came over the StarbOard side. Ac-
cOrding to the chief officer there was at
least 5000 tons of water in the main
ture tidal wave.
It struck the deckhouse which is
built of iron nearly two inches thick
The long front iron plates were smash
ed in, the iron ratings torn off the
ed, the bell broken, big stretchers of
canvas carried away and one of the
massive iron VentilatOrs tipped from
the deck and swept into the sea.
Through the ventilatOr opening i'm
menSe quantities of water rushed, find
ing its way into the dining room. It
fell upon the heads of a dozen or more
men and women who CHANGED to be be-
meath. There was much excitement
aboard for a time, but the officers quick
ly assured everybody that there was
positively no danger. The water from
the great wave swept the entire ship,
running down the decks like a mill
race.
About % per cent of the Gascogne's
finish of the trip and on Thursday only
is out of 112 cabin passengers sat down
to dinner.
Other steamships which reached here
report hard fighting with the waves.
Among these was the Hamburg-Amer-
lean liner California. There We're 155
immigrants in the steerage, and the Of
their fears and navigate the vessel at
the same time. They had to be locked
down below decks to keep them out of
danger and mischief.

Blizzard in Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. ia heavy snow
has been falling all over the western
part of the state the past twenty-four
hours and the storm has assumed the
proportions of a blizzard. Some snow
has fallen in the eastern part of the
state and at Omaha.
The storm attained its greatest violence
in the northwestern part of Nebras ska, ex-
tending into Wyoming and South Da-
kOta.
There is much speculation among
stockmen here as to the probable effect
of the blizzard on the range in Nebraska
The last cold snap caused large numbers
of cattle to be rushed to market, but as
this disposed of all the stock that was
unsheltered and not in fit condition to
pass the winter. the present storm is not
likely to contribute much stock to the
market.
The mercury is lowering around zero
all over Nebraska. The indications are
good for storm of considerable dura-
tion all over this section of the west.

NEW MILEAGE TICKET.
The Sebastian Interchangeable Mile
age Ticket Now in Effect.

The interchangea BILE mileage credit
system adopted by the western passen-
ger association lines became effective
yesterday. The system consists on an
individual credential. which is properly
made out and furnished to the traveller
in a leather case for so cents. A slip
within the case contains q list of the
lines over which he is enabled to take
advantage of the two cents per mile
rate. A contract in duplicate which is
left within the leather case sets out the
conditions under which the mileage
system applies. An original contract.
signed by the purchaser, is torn out of
the book or case and sent to the mile
age bureau of the western passenger
association. The duplicate contract
does not bear the purchasers sigma
ture.
After the traveller secures his creden-
tial case he can buy tickets for passage
as needed. At the time of securing the
tickets, however, he must also procure
two small slips, known to the inventor
as certificates, both of which he must
afterwards sign in the presence of the
conductor who takes up one of the GER
reau of the association. The passenger
retains the other, placing it, if he
chooses, in a small pocket of his ere
dental case, and when he has accumu-
lated enough slips to show he has trav-
eled 1000 miles within one year after
the issuance of his credentials he will
be refunded by the mileage bureau all
the money he has paid for passage tick
cts exceeding two cents per mile
The system, which was invented bv
General Passenger Agent Sebastian. OF
the Rock Island, is designed to prevent
brokers scalping rates by the use of
mileage tickets.

Gen. Blanco's investigations into the
condition of Spain's army in Cuba have
already revealed a deplorable condition
of affairs. Not only are frauds in con-
nection with the payment of troops be-
ing brought to light, but proof is being
obtained that of the 100000 men sent to
Gen. Weyler, only a small percentage
are now fit for actual service. The
towns are garrisoned principally by
cOnvalescent soldiers, too weak in many
instances to offer more than a. feeble
resistance to the attacks of rebels.
On November 9Th the military COVER
nor of the city received a message to
the effect that 500 sick and wounded
soldiers were on their way to Havana
He communicated this fact to the hos
pital authorities, only to receive the re-
ply that it was absolutely impossible to
receive another man.
PrOprietOrs of stores have notified
the hospital authorities that they will
not furnish any more goods on credit.

The Daily Mortality Among the
NOn-COmbatants
Affords a Spectacle HOrrifying
to Humanity.

New York. Nov. ia special to the
World from Havana says:
It appears now that nearly rs per
cent of the 100000 helpless women,
children and nOn-combatants, in Cuba
affected by former Captain-General
Weyler's policy are dead. Despite the
orders issued by General Blanco to feed
the starving, the daily mortality of the
remaining ''reconcentrados,' is fright
full.
The rabid Spaniards, who believe
that only by determination of the race
can the Cuban war be Won, openly
challenge the good faith of General Blan-
cos statements as to his intention to
feed and find work for those whom
General WeyIer has not killed.
They jubilantly claim that the new
captain general is enforcing the bar
barous ''concentradoes'' of the country
people exactly as his predecessor did.
The local press no longer prints the
news from the small towns. In one of
