Little Loss of Life.
Savannah, Ca, Oct. 3.-For IS hours.
from o'clock yesterday morning until
o'clock last night. Savannah was in
the grasp of a West Indian cyclone.
During that time the wind blew steadi-
~ from so to 10 miles an hour. While
the city escaped with comparatively
little damage, the loss of property
smong the sea islands Of Georgia and
South Carolina coasts is believed to be
heavy For miles in every direction
around Savannah the lowlands along
rivers are submerged. 1t was at first
feared that there would be q repetition
of the disastrous storm Of 1893, when
such fearful loss of life occurred on the
South Carolina sea islands. but II Is
now known that the loss of life will not
exceed five or six.
At noon yesterday the water was eight
feet above the highest tide. Driven on
shore by the northeast storm. 1t filled
up on the islands, swept over banks
and dams. carrying away the remnant
of the rice crop that was left by the
August storm and had not been gath
cred, and wiping out farm crops. The
loss to rice growers alone will be from
$50, 900 to S75.0 900. OF the entire rice crop
along the Savannah river. valued at
S25O,000. all but about 10 per cent. was
lost in this and the preceding storm.

which was on her way to sea with a
cargo of 100000 feet of lumber, went
adrift in the harbor, but was secured
safely. The wharves at the quaran-
tine station, at the entrance to the
river here, were partially carried away.
The quarantine officer and his family
and servants were rescued by a tug.
Four vessels which were at anchor at
the station were torn from their moor
ings and driven into the marshes.
Three Of these were the British schoon-
er Syanara, bound for st. Johns, N.
B., the American schooner Millville,
for Millvile, N. j.. Fannie l.. Child for
Boston, all lumber laden. and the Ital-
ian bark Franklin. How badly these
vessels are damaged Is unknown.
On Hutchinson's Island opposite Sa-
vannah, and separating the city from
the South Carolina shore, there were
many negro families rescued by boats
from the revenue steamers Tybee and
Boutwell, One man, with a child in
his arms, holding the little one above
his shoulder, started to cross the dams
with the water up to his body. His
wife, with another child, stood in the
window of their house, the floor OF
which was already flooded by the ris-
ing water, and watched her husband
feel his way step by step along the
top Of the treacherous dam. one false
step from which. or caving bank,
would throw him into swift moving
current. Finally he was sighted from
across the river on the city side. A
towboat was put off. and after half
hours effort the family was rescued.
Upwards of a hundred people were
brought from the island to the city

Washington, Oct 4.-Secretary Long.
upon advices received at the state de-
partment showing the existence Of
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
a point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for a warship to approach.
The vessels selected for the undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrol.
It is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the Taku
forts at the entrance of the Pang-He
river, upon which Pekin is situated,
but the Petrol, being of smaller pro-
portions, may be able to reach Tien-
Tsin, so miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Pekin.
The officials keenly regret that there
is not now on the Asiatic a light
draught gunboat of the Helena class.
which could ascend the river as far
as the Chinese capital.
Secretary Long said the sole pur-
pose of ordering the Baltimore and the
Petrol to Chinese waters was to safe

THE LATE THOMAS y. BAZAAR
father was Il man of means. and con-
sequently when a boy Thomas F. did
not need to undergo the ViciSStudeS
and hardships Of such 4 struggle with
adverse fortune as has fallen to the lot
of many an American public man in
early life He was educated chiefly in
the Flushing school. established by
Rev. DR.. F. L. Hawks. and owing TO
the atmosphere of affairs that per-
vaded the Bayard household early had
aspiftion for public life. Notwith-
standing this it. was decided to tit him
for business life. and he was sent to
New York. where he entered the count
ing room of his brother-in-law, Angus
tus Van Cortlandt Schermerhorn. an
importer. There he learned the modus
operandi of the custom house and its
inside machinery. a knowledge which
proved of the greatest value so years
later. when he was a member of the
senate committee TO investigate that
institution.
At the age Of II his elder brother
died and he was recalled to Delaware
and began the study of law. In 1851.
when he was but 2S years old. he was
admitted to the bar and soon built
up Il good and extensive practice. Two
years afterward he was appointed
United States district attorney for Del
aware. but resigned the next year. In
1855 he went TO Philadelphia and be-
came law partner OF William Ship
pen. but in 1851 he returned 10 his
practice in Wilmington, where he con-
tinued in the law till 1868, when he was
elected TO the United States senate.
During the first term in the senate
of the younger Bayard his father was
his colleague a part of the time, both
being chosen by the same legislature
on the same day. Thomas +. for full
term and his father TO fill an uneXpired
term.
In 1857 Mr.. Bayard was a member
of the electoral commission. and he
was one of the firmest uDholders of
the doctrine of states rights and other
Democratic doctrines of his day during
his entire public service. He was voted
for as candidate for the presidency at
the Democratic conventions of 1850 and
1884
In 1885. when Mr.. Cleveland first took
the presidential chair, he made Mr..
Bayard secretary of state, and his SER
vices in that high office are we'll re-
membered in connection with the Behr-
ing sea disputes. the fisheries commits
sion. and, most of all, the giving of
his passports to Sacllville, British min
lister to Washington. because of the
latters connection with the famous
Murchison letter. written during the
presidential campaign of 1888. 1t was
presidential campaign of 1885, In 1893,
after Mr.. Cleveland's second election to
the presidency, Mr.. Bayard was made
first ambassador from the United
States to Great Britain. to succeed
Robert Todd Lincoln. the last United
States minister to the court of st.
James.
Mr.. Bayard's career as ambassador
was marked by distinguished apnity,
though he managed to stir up partisan
feeling at home by some of his public
speeches in England. in which he at
tackled the policy of protection. nc
table event of his service abroad was
the securing of the log Of the May
flower, which he brought back to Mass
achusetts. Since his return from Eng
land he has taken no active part in
politics

ponents for several years, and the
methods pursued have been augmented
in viciousness and vindictiveness as
their futility has been demonstrated.
AS the last despairiag effort OF I'M
scrupulous conspi:ators comes this
brutal move of the opposition, which
they have had upon their program for
weeks, With the desperate hope that it
might. in some way, aid in the cleo
ton of a Democratic legislature. In
due time there will be complete eX-
position of the true inwardness of this
latest act in the drama of character
assassination now so conspicuous a
feature in Pennsylvania politics.
The warrants We're made out on Sat
urday by Magistrate Jermon at the in
stance of District Attorney Graham
and on the affidavit of Charles F.
Myers. of the district attorneys Office.
Myers is a detective, and acted on in
formation furnished by Thomas w.
Barlow. receiver OF the Peoples bank.
District Attorney Graham said that
from evidence in the shape Of letters
and papers furnished to him he be-
lieved it his duty TO begin proceedings.
He added:
II propose to have hearing as
quickly as possible. and to produce at
that hearing all the facts necessary to Il
binding over. Some of the facts will be
reserved until the time of the trial. II
the state of affairs as represented to
me is true it ought to be exposed. This
rottenness ought to be shown up, no
matter upon whom it reflects. 1t is not
my practice to speak in advance of the
trial of the case, and will say nothing
further as to its merits.
Mr.. Graham expressed a firm deter
mnation to proceed vigorously.
James Mechanics. former president of
the defunct Peoples bank, said he had
known the warrants were to be issued,
although he had nothing to do with the
transactions justifying it. MI. Nc
Names added:
Senator Quay and his son Richard
both had their personal notes dis
counted at the bank. the last of which
matured after the bank had closed its
doors. These notes were all promptly
paid when due, and neither Mr. Quay
or his son is Indebted to the bank one
dollar that | know OF. My feelings to-
wards Mr. Quay and the other men are
of the mostly friendly character. Mir.
Quay and I had our differences in days
gone by, but they We're patched UP
long ago"
The news struck political circles of
all shades Of faith like a thunderbolt,
and a variety of explanations were
given and discussed throughout the
day. Secretary cf the Commonwealth
David Martin said he knew nothing
beyond the newspaper statements. The
affair acquires additional significance
from the fact that 1t comes in the
midst Of one of the most bitter cam
paigns ever fought between Quay and
his opponents. involving the question
Of his reelection TO the senate.
The Peoples bank suspended bust
ness on March 81 last. and it presently
developed that Cashier Hopkins had
committed suicide. at this time the
state had on deposit in the bank $780,
900 and the city $4,000 but the institu-
ton was insolvent. President McManes
agreed to make good the amount of
liabilities. and most Of it has since
been paid.
