Savannah, Ca, Oct. 4.-The fioood
which Inundated the islands and low
lands around Savannah and all the
vicinity coast has partially subsided.
the South Carolina coast between Ty-
bee and Beaufort, where the great tidal
wave Of 1893 caused such fearful IA
aality, was received last night. The
damage by the storm there was COM
paratlvely small, and SO far as known
there was no loss of life. The steamer
Clifton made the trip from Savannah
to Port Royal yesterday afternoon, and
arrived here late last night. The flood
was driven by a northeast gale and did
not cover any Of the sea islands In that
section except those nearest the ocean.
The steamers City Of Macon, City Of
Augusta and Kansas City, from New
York, and the Essex. from Baltimore,
arrived Saturday, and all felt the force
of the storm to some extent. The City
Of Macon was in the height of it. The
wind reached a velocity of nearly 100
miles an hour, but the ship weathered
1t and sustained little damage. The
four schooners Synaria, Millville, Fan
ME Childs and Franklin, which were
driven into the marshes, will be floated
after the removal of their cargoes.
At Tybee there was less damage than
feared The Notifications were piled
with sand several feet deep around the
guns, but the flood did not reach them.
On the islands near the city the crops
have been entirely swept away and
much live stock has been lost, but there
were no fatalities.

He supported the Chicago platform

advocacy of free silver, because he be-

that of the monopolist: because 1t

upon advices received at the state de-

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.
1t 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 Petrcl, 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 Asiltic a light
draught gunboat of the Helena class,
which could ascend the river as far
