IS WIPED FROM THE MAP
Frightful Havoc Wrought by the
Carrabsll Storm.
THE TOWN is ISOLATED
Loss OF Life Will Be Large = Docks,
Wharves and Vessels Swept Away
in the Terrific Fury of the
Cyclone.

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 3.-The first
train since Monday from Carrabell
through the storm stricken gulf coast
section reached here this afternoon.
The train crew and passengers agree
in stating that reports sent out of the
destruction wrought by the storm have
been extremely moderate. Carrabell is
literally wiped from the map. Her
docks and wharves. containing about
100000 feet of lumber and $4,000 bar
rels of rosin, were quickly swept away.
Thirteen of Ia large lumber vessels in
the bay were swept shore and are
now lying well upon the dry land.
These vessels contained several million
feet of lumber. No information is OBJ
tainab BILE as to the loss of life from these
vessels or from the large fleet of fish
ing boats in the neighborhood.
Only two or three huts are left
standing in Carrabell and one colored
woman is known to have been killed
by the falling of a house. Citizens Of
Carrabel are in a state of wild confu-
sion and are focking in every direc-
tion for relief.
The town is isolated and the wires
are still down. The towns of McIn-
tyre and Curtis Mill are demolished
and large interests have been destroy
ed. The coast resorts, Teresa and
Lenark, are more seriously wrecked
than at first reported and visitors have
suffered great hardships, though no
loss of life is yet known.
Fifteen men said to have been seen
fishing on an islet called Dog Island,
just before the storm broke cannot be
found

BEEF EXCLUDED.
Germany Strikes Blow at American
Commerce.

Germany Strikes a Blow at American
Commerce.
Washington, Aug. 3.-Official letters
received from the representatives of the
United States in Germany bring many
details concerning the recent action in
that country looking to the exclusion
of beef slaughtered in Belgium from
the German markets and leave little
room for doubt that this is done for
the purpose of preventing the indirect
introduction Of an American pro-
duct.
me letters state that proclamations
have been issued by the authorities
of the Prussian provinces of Aachen,
Dusseldorf, Osnabrook, Luneburg
Schleswig, DantZig and Gumbinnen
and also in the grand duchies of Olden-
burg and Mecklenburg and Bitministry
of Alsace-L -Larraine against the ad-
mission of beef slaughtered in Bel
GUM.
These divisions of territory cover the
Belgian frontier of Germany and rem
der It impracticable to introduce any
Belgian beef into the empire. While
the central government of Germany
takes no official action in the premises,
it is pointed out here that the course
of the subordinate governments is in
that the reason for the step is the fear
of introducing Texas fever through the
American-bor cattle slaughtered in
Belgium. The exclusion order went
into effect on the 18th of July.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION,
Superintendent Turne Approves of the
Eight Hour Law.

Salt Lake, Aug. 3.-Superintendent
Turne, superintendent of the Hanauer
smelling works, was before the SUBJ
committee of the industrial commits
sion this morning. He was questioned
generally on the mining industry of the
state. He thought the industry was
in a prosperous condition and much
advanced over conditions 20 years ago.
He spoke favorably of the eight-hour
law. He said there were no labor
unions in the state and that the men
seemed to be satisfied with their con-
dition, Referring to trusts, he said
he did not favor any conditions that
destroyed competition. A H. Han
auer did not, however. approve of the
eight-hour law being applied to smelt-
ers, but said that the law was all
right SO far as 1t applied to mines. He
thought a 10-hour day was preferable
for smelters. He believed that there
was more profit in mining silver at 60
cents per ounce than when silver was
80 cents per ounce, owing to the reduc-
ed cost of supplies. He did not be-
lieve the smelter combine would work
any injury to the mining industry.

by the British Consul

Washington. Aug. 3.-In his message
to the Nicaraguan congress yesterday
President Zelaya referred to a treaty
made with the United States of the
date of April 20 last. 1t is learned upon
inquiry at the state department chat
this was merely an agreement entered
into by Minister Merry and the Mica
raguan government by which the
$4,000 in duties collected from the
American merchants in the Bluefields
against their protest by General Tor
res was placed in the HANDS of the
British consul at Bluefields pending an
agreement as to its disposition. Up to
this moment the two governments are
still in negotiation on this subject.
Senior Correa, minister from Mica
ragua, has returned to Washington
after two months visit home. during
which he conferred with President
Zelaya concerning the Bluefields affair
and also the Nicaragua canal ques-
ton.
During his visit the Nicaraguan gov
ernment honored Mr.. Correa by ap-
pointing him minister to Chill. AS he
had numerous private interests in
Washington, the appointment was
changed so as to make him minister
at Washington instead of charge daft
faires.

Governor Geer Makes Warm Reply to

Salem Ore. Aug. 3-Governor Geer to-
day received circular from Edward Ro-
senberg. secretary of the San Francisco
Labor Council. in the form of an appeal
t. him TO protest to the war department.
against the criminal policy of mastering

Francisco. THE circular states that the
labor market is being flooded and that
volunteers will be forced to re-enlist in
order to secure a living. The governor,
in answer to Mr.. Rosenberg, says:
Il have been workingman all my life
and, while all my sympathy is with that

such demagogical utterances as these.

and. in the end infinite harm.
To seize such an occasion as the one
above noted to make intammatory and al
most inSurrfctonary appeals to our work
ing people indicates want of god taste and
good Judgment and recklessness of state
mtnt that does no credit to the organiZa-
tiCn engaged in its PRONUNCIATION. The
people of oregon do not share the senti-
ment of the circular, for they are sincere
friends of the real wOrkingman, of whom
there is not one now out of employment
in the state, who desires it,"

of the $3O00,O00 gratuity to get money
from the soldiers and are granting the
certificates necessary to enable them
to collect their quota. He gives three
cases of men who were charged money
by Ramos, a colonel in a Cuban regi-

a man could not get his certificate ow-

it. The writer says:
