Two men Of No. were saved and two
were drowned.
On the shore stood scores of men who
were ready to risk their lives to save
those who were on many vessels in the
off1ng, driving to destruction.
Capt. James of the life-saving crew
was there with his men and boat, but
he said that the wind blew so fiercely
there were not men enough who could
find room in the boat and have
strength enough to row against the
wind. Out of the driven snow came
the dim outlines of a barge with the
forms Of five men discernible on the
deck houses With a mighty crash,
as 1t came down on a receding wave,
barge No. struck the shore, only to
crumble and then melt into fragments
Which the waves in another minute
cast up on the shore.
But in that instant five men ESCAPED
impending death, for as the barge split
in twain, the deck house slid towards
the shore into the surf, and at the same
time men on shore, with lines about
them, rushed into the water and pulled
out the sailors. A moment later barge
No. came ashore and was ground up
by the waves, but nothing was seen OF
its crew. Soon after this other wreck
age came ashore, but this morning il
was seen that both the Abel c. Bah
cock and the Samuel w. Tilden had
been wrecked. No sign of the crew
of either vessel was found.
Another terrible scene was that al
Thompsons Island, where the city's re-
form school is situated Against the
wharf were driven four down east YES
sells, each of which when the line broke
was anchored miles away, and each
q long way from the other. An idea
of the force of the wind is shown in
those instances, for, after drifting
across the bay, one after the other
brought up against the pier, one being
driven entirely out of the water.
The craft Virginia, Of which barely 9
vestige Is left; the Watchman, the Ser
aphin and the Fred M. Emerson. The
last three are in one great heap of tim
Der and rigging, mixed, with debris
from the Virginia. Two lives were lost
from the latter craft, but one was saw
ed, William B. Stanley, and the cap
tain's son, who were washed ashore
and resuscitated.
The farms school launch was also
included in the general smash-up. OF
the other wrecks the most singular is
that of the tug Tamaqua on Rainsforc
island. She has gone straight OF
against a promontory of rocks, ant
there seems little chance of her getting
off. Her consort, a Reading barge, was
easily foated this afternoon. Other
evidences of the storm are to be found
on every headland and in nearly every
cove. for the numberless and namelesS
wrecks, all snow and sleet covered
are piled up there. 1t will be some
time before all the vessels which farce
i'll on Sunday can be accounted for
and some, perhaps, never, SO thorough
" have the wind and wave done theil
work.

ABOUT CAPE ANN.
As Result of the Storm Twenty-Five
Large Vessels are Ashore.

Large vessels are Ashore.
Gloucester, Nov. 2s.-As a result of
the most furious storm this seaport has
ever known, 20 large vessels are ashore
about Cape Ann, and fully as many
smaller craft either have sunk or have
been washed upon the ~ ks So far
as is known. no lives were lost, which
is considered marvellous by the old sea-
men. The property loss here and in
the neighboring town Of Rockport is
placed at $780, 600.
At Rocky Nook Cove many vessels
were thrown UP at the inner end of the
cove, many of them wrecked complete
ly. On the sOutherly side were five
vessels belonging to John f. Wouson &
Co, which had broken adrift from the
wharf. These were the schooners Mar
guerite, Reporter, Belle Franklin, Me-
teor and Abbie Morrissey. Just be-
| yond these was another large vessel
belonging to James G.. Tarr & Bro. All
were high and dry. At the entrance ia
the cove the schooners Carrie f. Rob
erts and James Drinan sank. The
schooner Senator Frye is high and dry.
In Harbor Cove, several vessels are
ashore on the flats, but all will prob
ably come off when the weather mod

ments and Was Driven Ashore.
Quincy, Nov 28.-Three schooners are
ashore near here, having been driven
on during the storm of Saturday night
and yesterday. One of them, the two
masted schooner Ella F. Crowell, of
Thonaston, Me, Capt. J. w. Thomas of
st. George, Me, is a total wreck on
Veazie's rocks in Quincy bay. The
crew escaped. The Ella F. CrOwell
was valued at $4,000.
The John J. Hill was engaged in the
plaster trade between Hillsboro and
New York. She registers 974 tons and
was built in 1892 at Marine City, Michi-
gan. She halls from Port Huron, Mich.
The steamer was light. She left for
New York Friday, and put into Bos-
ton Saturday evening to escape the
storm. She had just got her anchors
out in Nantasket roads when the storm
broke. The blasts came down through
the roads with such velocity that the
steamer with two anchors out and a
full head of steam on, could not hold
out. She began to drift, and at a point
off Haugman's Island, the cables part
ed and the big vessel was carried along
before the driving gale.
The captain stood on the bridge, and,
in obedience to his orders, the whole
force in the engine and fire rooms kept
steam up to the blowing-o off point but
the elements were more than a match
for all the steam she could carry, and
she struck on the beach with terrible
shock
The first mate, not knowing where
the vessel was. wanted to jump over
board to save his life, and he had to
be tied to prevent him from accomplish
ing his purpose. The vessel however,
did not move after striking, but lay
easy in the sand. The captain was
frozen to the bridge, and had to be
cut away. The vessel carried a crew
of IA officers and men, and all escaped
in safety. The crew were pretty well
tired out by their efforts, but they We're
all well today.

Many Casualties From a
Powder Explosion.

Havana, Nov. 2S.-There was Il
powder explosion near the Reina bat
terry this morning, in which many peo-
pie were seriously injured. No one
was killed outright by the explosion,
but three of the injured died this af-
ternoon, and the condition of most of
the others is more or less critical. At
least Is are not expected to live.
1t appears that one Jeronimo had ac-
quired several hundred thousand cart
ridges, many of an old pattern at the
various artillery depots here, for a
mere song, and was arranging to turn
his investment to account by removing
the gunpowder from each projectile
with a view to a later sale at a profit.
He hired about 80 boys and girls with
a few men and women to do the work.
No arrests have been made as vet,
although orders have been given for
the removal of similar contents of other
houses in different parts Of the city,
which implies an official knowledge of
existence of such deposits in definite
localities.

Saving Crew

Cohasset Nov. 2S.-The schooner Ju-

day during the terrific storm. She had
a cargo of $4,000 pounds of fresh fish.
Capt. Corey and crew of IS men were
taken to the houses Of the fire depart

provided for them.
There are also two barges ashore out

persisted.
This afternoon five men were seen on

Uniform Naturalization.

United States District Attorney
James NJ. Beck, of Philadelphia, has
prepared for congressional action IL
bill providing ior the uniform admin
istration of our naturalization laws
and safeguarding the investiture of
aliens with citizenship by certain for
malities that will make the issue Of
bogus naturalization certificates eX-
tremely difficult.
Mr.. Beck conductedt the prosecution
of the organized gang of FRAUDULENT
citizen makers recently captured and
convicted in Philadelphia. The
lawyers close study of the cases
made him thoroughly acquainted
with our naturalization laws and their
many defects and inconsistencies and
at the suggestion of the federal de
partIuent of justice prepared the ill
in question.
For years the growing necessity of
uniformity in this law has been APP
parent, and the lack of this essential
uniformity has worked an almost in
calculable amount of injury to our
country. Some judges, including the
learned men on the northampton
county bench, says the Easton "EX-
press" have adopted stringent rules
which give time and opportunity for
a full investigation of an applicants
qualifications for citizenship, but the
Judges of this class, unfortunately,
are few and far between.
Mr.. Beck's bill contains many excel.
lent, far-reaching clauses, and by it,
passage by the National Congress the
right of citizenship can no longer be
dealt out by politicians to all classes
and conditions of foreigners without
respect to their qualifications.
One particularly important pro
vision isas follows; mo public officer
nominee for public Office or member
of any campaign or political com
mittee shall be eligible to act "a
voucher for any applicant and no ap
plication for citizenship shall be-
allowed when it appears to the cour
that the application has been mad
Mt the solicitation of any person o
political organization for the purpos'
of securing the applicants vote at al
election to be subsequently held"
