STORM IN THE SOUTH.
The Full Extent OF the Damages
Not Yet Known.

ATLANTA (Ga), Aug. 31.-The
storm which swept up the At
lantic Coast last night has interrupt
ed communication near the ocean, and
the extent of the damage is not yet
known. The officials Of the Western
Union to-day say that communication
with Savannah is completely inter
rupted. The only places reached by
wire are Charleston, S. c., and Bakers
vile, Fla. The telegraph company has
put on force Of extra men at Au-
gusta, to which all the business for
Savannah is being sent. From there
it goes by train
No news as to the extent of the
storm has as yet reached this city from
any point Foreeaster Marbury. of the
Weather Bureau has had no advices,
and the local weather reports from that
territory are missing.
Charleston reports a terrific down.
pour of rain but no damage. The
storm, which came up the coast. evi-
IDENTIFY took to the water just before
it reached Charleston, and after trav-
cling aout 100 miles again came to
land and started northWard. About
fifteen vessels put in there during the
afternoon and toward night several
more ran in reporting terrific blow

The Naval Board Affirms Secretary
Longs Action in Recommend
ing a Comprehensive Program
in the Enlargement of Our
Navy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-A special to
the Tribune" from Washington says:
The Naval Board Of Experts under
the specification of Secretary Long has
unanimously affirmed their action in
recommending a comprehensive pro-
gram involving the speedy construc-
ton of fifteen warships as outlined two
weeks ago, and directed the various bu-
reaus of the Navy Department to pro-
ceed forthwith with the preparation Of
the actual plans for the greatest con,
struction project ever undertaken in a
single period by the United States.
Ever since the adoption of the pro-
gram by the board on August 18th the
members have devoted themselves
earnestly to the knowledge gained in
the war with Spain and the necessity
for vast sea power imposed by the pos
session of distant islands and increased
American commerce. and they began
upon the details yesterday without
modifying in any important particular
the classes of vessels which were deter
mined upon as essential for the navy
hereafter. The meeting yesterday DEM
onstrated that the members were more
thoroughly than ever convinced that
larger ships, with higher speed and
much greater coal endurance than any
now in the American service We're alb
solutely Indispensable, and ought to be
begun with as little delay as possible.
The general program as originally
laid down provides for fifteen vessels,
six of which are to be heavily armored
battle fighting ships, six to be small
protected cruisers and three midway
between these two extremes. The three
battleships were to exceed 13,O0o tons
displacement with a minimum speed,
with all stores and coal aboard, OF
eighteen and one-half knots; there We're
to be three first -class arrnored cruisers
of - 600 tons, or one-third larger than
the New York and the Brooklyn, with
TWENTY-FIVE knots speed and coal en-
durance of at least 10000 knots; three
semi -armored and protected second
class cruisers of a highly improved
Olympia type, and six sixteen-knot
protected cruisers of $500 tons slightly
superior to the Detroit class, with the
remarkable steaming radius of 1900
knots The board further determined
that all ships should be sheathed with
oak and copper, to make them COM
AS a result of the meeting practically
establishing this program as the adopt
ed policy of the navy for the immediate
future. the work of designing the three
battleships will begin at once along
the following lines: The displacement
is fixed at 1850 tons upon a draught
of twenty-five and a half feet when
the vessel is loaded to maximum. and
at that draught a minimum speed of
eighteen and one-half knots is to be
guaranteed
Coal bunker space for between 1,S0O
and 1000 tons Of fuel is to be provided,
in order that a. steaming radius of 10,-
600 knots al a ten-knot speed may be
secured The armor is to cover the en-
tire vessel in the form Of a cuirass. IT
will be made after the Krupp modifi-
cation of the HarveyiZed process, and

ton of the globe. Excluding North
America, the foreign commerce OF
these peoples already amounts Of ~
ouUOUU,OO0 a year. History shows
that whatever nation controls this COM
merce controls the trade of the
world. The stake at issue is stu
pendous. Nothing less than an entire
and undivided control of the Philip
pines would give us a base adequate
for our needs. Manila Bay or even
Luzon, for naval and coaling station,
would be too perilous and costly pos
session, with all the other islands par
titioned and garrisoned by European
Powers. Let England's experience
with India and China be warning.
India, conquered and governed, has
been a mine of wealth. China, exploit
ed through trading posts, is burden
and constant peril We want the
Philippines, not Manila, just as Eng
land to-day needs Central China, and
not simply Hongkong. We own the
Philippines by right of conquest, no
other nation does; we are in posses
sion, no other nation is; we can
maintain stable government, Spain
cannot, and the natives are incapable
of self-rule. l can conceive no rea-
son to give away, or lease, or abandon
single foot of the territory. 1t would
be to lessen in that proportion the
greatest opportunity Providence ever
placed before the nation. With the
Philippines, Ladrones, Samoa and Ha-
waii, our possessions will reach across
the Pacific, and its commerce Will be-
come the commerce of America in a
larger degree than of any other nation.
The Pacific itself will be ours pre-emi-
nently: our territory will bound it on
two sides: our islands will dot its sur
face: and with the ocean and it's trade
in our possession, our political domina-
nance will be assured among the ma
tions of the world.
Such is the broad plane of interna-
tional relations upon which alone it is
wise to discuss an Anglo-American alli-
ance"
Professor Gardiner then explained
that he did not mean an alliance as the
word is understood in Europe-a mill
tary partnership, but strong COM
mercial alliance protected by an arbl-
tration treaty which would, in his es-
timation, better assure universal peace
than any other thing that could be
| brought about.
| He then went on to show that Amer
! lea had profited more by the markets
| opened through Great Britain's efforts
than any other nation save Great Bri-
tain herself. For these great benefits.
| he held America should give some
| thing in return, and an alliance such
as he suggested would make the Anglo
Saxon race masters of the world, not
/ less to the advantage Of America than
! of Great Britain.

GALVESTON CTeXas). Aug. 31.-A
riot occurred on the Mallory docks this
afternoon. Recently the colored long
shoremen organized a labor union.
When the steamer Colorado arrived
yesterday the Mallory people were in
formed that they must employ union
laborers and pay 30 and 60 cents per
hour for day and night work The
increase was refused. Yesterday 1 800
colored men congregated at the wharf
and by moral suasion kept the regular
Mallory lougshoremen from going to
work
To-day the Mallory Company set an
extra crew to work unloading the ship
| and brought colored men from Hous-
ton. The bloodshed occurred when an
effort was made to put the Houston
men to work
Mayor Fly warned the crowd to keep
back, and when an advance was made
on the Houston negroes Mayor Fly
fired five shots into the crowd. wound
ing two of the negroes who were ao-
vancing.
little later the rioters made another
advance They We're warned back.
When Mayor Fly gave the order to fire
there was a terrible fusillade from each
side for a minute, some of the negroes
having revovers. After the excite
ment the crowd scattered.
The Fire Department was called out
to aid in the protection of the wharf
property. An armed posse of citizens
was organized. The Houston Len
were put to work, and the Mallory boat
| is discharging.
One white man was killed and at
least six were injured

is to be twelve inches thick amidships,
tapering to five inches at the bow and
stern. There will be four fourteen-inch
rifles Of extra length for smokeless pow
der, mounted in pairs in two turrets,
the latter being of the eliptical balanced
type, with sloped fronts. The battle
ships, as we'll as the other vessels, will
be equipped with water tube boilers and
twin quadruple engines AS soon as the
plans for these battleships progress
sufficiently the details for the big arm
ored cruisers will be taken up by the
construction officers.
It is a peculiar coincidence that the
plans for these big battleships are be-
gun simultaneously to almost day
with the opening of bids for three bat
tleships upon which contractors have
been figuring for the past three months.
This competition will close at noon on
September 1st, and it is almost a fore
gone conclusion that the Cramps, the
SCOTS and the Newport News Company
will each attempt to secure a vessel
which is practically a. duplicate of sim
liar battleships now being built by each
of the firms, although the proposals are
expected to develop slight notifications
which will give increased speed and en-
durance over the Alabama, the Illinois
and the Wisconsin.
These vessels, which We're authorized
by the last Congress, have given rise
to considerable controversy because
they have no radical improvements over
their predecessors and were admittedly
inferior in type to the heavy warships
now building in Great Britain, France,
Germany and Russia. They are of IL,
800 tons displacement, draw twenty
three and one half feet, carry 200 tons
of coal and have protection to their vi
tails only in the form of a sixteen and
one-half-inch armor belt, and they
were not to be rejected by the navy if
their speed was above fifteen knots, al
though a penalty of 1900 a quarter
of a knot was imposed for any reduc-
tion between sixteen and fifteen and
one-half knots and at the rate of 500
600 quarter Of a knot between fifteen
and a half and fifteen knots.
Under the circumstances of yester-
days action of the naval experts, these
slow battleships will be probably aban-
doned altogether unless the shipbuild-
ers on Thursday take advantage of Sec-
retary Longs appeal for higher speed
than was at first contemplated, and the
SO, 100000 provided for by Congress ror
the hull and machinery of the vessels
may be saved to apply to the corpre-
hensive naval program, which conserv-
ative estimates indicate will involve an
outlay approximating 10000, 900.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
The Special Investigating Commits
tee Makes It's Report.

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd), Aug. 81
The special investigating committee ap-
pointed by the Supreme Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias to investigate the
charges made against the officers of the
lodge, and also to find out, if possible.
where the information came from, made
it's report this morning.
The committee paid special attention
to the discovery of the author of the
charges, but the report fails to show
that it was successful in this. The re-
port says:
LAS to the direct charges rejecting
or tending to reflect on the Supreme
Keeper of Records and Seal, White, we
find from the testimony submitted that
Brother White is not stockholder or
a director in a bank, trust company,
or other financial institution; that he is
not stockholder in the Brandon Print
ng Company, nor interested there in
any manner, nor never was: that he
is not and never has been directly or
indirectly interested in any contracts OF
any character made by or in the inter
est of the Supreme Lodge; that since
becoming Supreme Keeper of Records
and Seal he has not been engaged in
any business, devoting his entire time
and energy to the discharge of the
duties of that office"
AS to the charge of extravaganza and
waste, the committee says:
That the officers and members of this
Supreme Lodge have, in all things, con-
Quoted the business of the Supreme
Lodge honestly, fairly and for the in
terest of the order, universally, and that
all insinuations to the contrary are alb
solutely false and without foundation.
We further find that there have been
large sums of money expended in what
might seem to some a useless manner,
but we also find that all such expendi-
lures are the result of direct legisla-
ton on the part of this body and au-
thorized by it, and that the officers, in
making the expenditures, We're acting
simply as the instruments of this body
in carrying out its Dictates
The committee suggests that the
Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal
be requested to prepare for each ses-
sion of the Supreme Lodge a detailed
statement, showing the amount of
work, as nearly as may be, performed
by each officer during the preceding two
fiscal years, and the expenses of each
officer during the same time, and what
the different items of expenses We're, so
that, in estimating the amount of ap-
preparation required for salary and ex-
penses, the committee and this body
may have an opportunity of judging
whether the salary and expense ac-
counts are too low, and in what par
ticular.'
This report was signed by Tracy r.
Bangs (Chairman), d. c. Richardson.
James E. Watson, George NJ. Hanson
and John w. Daniels.
The committee appointed to recom-
mend the time and place for holding the
next encampment of the Uniform Rank,
knights of Pythias, and convention Of
the Supreme Lodge, has reported in
favor of Detroit. and set the time for
the meeting of the Supreme Lodge on
the second Tuesday in September, 1900.
