A BERMUDA CYCLONE.
Great Destruction of Property, But
No Loss of Life.

Great Destruction of Property, But
No Loss of Life.
Island of Bermuda, Sept. 14,--A cy-
clone swept over this island Tuesday
night. Houses we're blown down and
others were unroofed. The storm ragged
the whole of Tuesday night. No lives
were lost, but heavy damage was done
to public and private property, fruit
and cedar trees. The damage will
amount to fully $4,000.
Information from the dock yard says
the damage done there is very serious.
The breakwater is badly damaged On
ireland and Boaz islands everything
is more or less injured.
At Somerset all the boats and small
craft were destroyed, the trees de-
molished the houses unslated or other
wise damaged.
More than half mile of the cause
way connecting the mainland with st.
Georges is totally destroyed. 1t will
cost G12,000 to G15000 to repair 1t.
News from st. Georges received by
a whaleboat says serious damage has
been done there to trees, houses, etc.
All the boats have been badly injured.
Reports from outlying parishes are
slowly coming in. They all show there
has been great destruction of trees
and serious injury to houses and other
property.
1t is a curious coincidence that the
great gale of 1889 occurred Sept. Ii
and IL, and this one was on Sept. IL
and 13.

EASTERN people have no idea Of
the magnitude of the parochial school
system in some of the Western States.
In the city of Milwaukee, for in
stance, there is more than one pupil
in the church schools for every two
in the public schools. The aggregate
of children in the parochial schools
of the place is more than 10000. In
many of the country districts the pro-
portion is greater. There are coun-
ties where the attendance at the
church schools outnumbers that of
the public school. The German and
Polish Catholic aud the Lutheran
parents pay their share of the school
taxes, and then pay for the support
of the parish schools.

FOREIGN SAMPLES ON DISPLAY.
Philadelphia Exhibitions Vast Ex-

tured Abroad.

hibit of Articles Manufao-
tured Abroad.
One of the most important depart
ments of the National Export Exposi-
tion at Philadelphia is the department
of foreign samples on the second floor
of the Central pavilion. 1t comprises
samples of manufactured goods made
abroad and sold in all foreign markets,
or prepared in those markets for local
consumption. These samples complete
ly and systematically illustrate the
requirements of different foreign mar
kets. The department shows Ameri-
can manufacturers just what competi-
tion they must meet abroad BY ex-
animation of these foreign made goods
an accurate judgment can be reached
as to how far adaptations and altera-
tions must be made in similar articles
manufactured here. and to what ex-
tent American goods can find a market
without modification.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
purchase in foreign markets of these
samples of merchandise, together with
necessary business data concerning
them, for the instruction and benefit
of American manufacturers and mer-
chants
These samples compose the only ex-
hibits of foreign goods at the exposi-
tion. They will not be exhibited by
foreign manufacturers or dealers, but
have been purchased outright in for
eign markets by commissioners of the
exposition, aided by the consular SER
vice of the United States. A represent
ative collection of the wares in demand
all over the world has been secured.
Included in the department of foreign
samples are exhibits showing how
goods should be packed and labeled for
shipment to meet the requirements
and approval of foreign buyers. These
exhibits will also show the regula-
tiOns incident to the reception of goods
in every mart in the world. The Amer
lean manufacturer will have an oppor-
tunity to study at leisure and in COM
pany with men whose trade and infiu-
ence abroad he is seeking.

In Reply TO n Question He Answeredi
"None of Your Business"
New York, Sept. 14.-The most inn
portant and interesting witness at yes
terday's session of the Mazet legisla-
tive investigating committee was
Frank H. Plat, son of United States
Senator Thomas c. Platt, and junior
member of the law firm of Tracy,
Boardman & Plat. Mr.. Platt was
called as a witness for the purpose of
throwing additional light upon the or
ganization and the plan and scope of
the RamapO Water company. AS a
matter of fact he did not give very
much information in regard to the
origin of this company, which hoped
to secure a 200,O00,000 contract from
the city of New York. Questioned by
Mr.. Hoffman, who represented the
Democratic minority in the Mazet COM
mittee, Mr. Platt declined to answer
regarding the amount of stock which
he held in the City Trust company
and when pressed for an explanation
said: 1T is none of your business"
Silas B. butcher, the president of the
Ramapo Water company, was also
questioned but he did not give de-
tails concerning that organization. A
number of other witnesses were called
to the stand, but nothing of general in
terest was elected.

A CENTURY ago Voltaire denounced
the methods of French courts, par
ticularly the absence Of rules of
evidence. One of the cases he cited
was that OF a peasant arrested for
murder. His Identification was essen
tial, and the principal witness for the
government failed to identify him
Thank God !" exclaimed the pris-
oner, "he does not recognize me. y
That fervent ejaculation Of gratitude
created in the mind of the judge the
belief that the prisoner was guilty,
and he was broken at the wheel. Yet
the evidence was that the man could
not be identified, and after he was
judicially murdered it was conclu-
sively shown that he was innocent.
Neither Voltaire nor the Revolution
worked any essential Improvement in
this respect there are still no rules
of evidence, and if there were mill
tary court would make poor work Of
administering them.

He Advises Against Harsh Criticism
OF the French Nation.
st. Paul Sept. 14.-Archbishop Ire
land asked for his opinion on the
meeting to protest against the verdict
of the Rennes court martial, said:
1T is my belief that public meet
ings in America, such as It is proposed
to hold for the purpose of protesting
against the sentence of the Rennes
court martial are untimely, unfair to
France and likely to breed regretable
i'll feeling between that country and
our own.
81 shall not deny that have always
had in my heart deep sympathy for the
unfortunate officer who has been under
trial at Rennes, and that | had wished
and hoped that the sentence of the
court would have been one of acquit-
tai. But it is another question to face
the verdict of the court, the moment
that verdict has been declared, with
the assertion that 1t is plainly against
truth, and that the court from which
1t issues is guilty of base injustice and
sacrilegious perjury.
France is a proud, sensitive nation.
She will deeply resent as II is her
llShI, unuue CTltlclSm anu nasty JuuB-
ment of her acts by a foreign people,
and especially will she resent, as it is
surely her right, any uncalled for in
terference with her internal admins
tration and any imprudent challeng
ing of her national honor.
France has been our friend of ages.
She was our friend when no other ma
ton befriended us. She is our friend
today. She is a sister republic. We
should pause long and seriously before
blaming, suspecting or offending

Berlin, Sept. 14.-The Association OF
German Celluliod Manufacturers has
decided to abstain from exhibiting at
the Paris exposition. The German
Trades Union association, of Cologne
on the motion of the president, adopt
ed resolution yesterday not to ex-
hibit at the Paris exposition, declaring
that the Rennes sentence was an In
suit in its disregard of the official
statements of Germany. The press OF
the city, however, urges German ex-
hibitors to avoid hasty decisions and
to wait until other nations have de-
clared their attitude.

AND now we have a statement from
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, that ''if he
goes into politics it will be in Wash
Ington, denouncing the betrayal of
American principles in the Philip
pines" This we presume is threat
that he will 90 to Congress, and there
fire off his broadsides against Presi-
dent Mckinley and the Republican
party. IL is to be regretted that he
is not a native born American citizen.
In that case he might be able to Sc
cure second place on the ticket with
Mr.. Bryan, who is an ardent advo-
cate of the same doctrine upheld by
Mr.. Carnegie. Then, too, the size Of
his barrel would be a great attraction
for our friends the enemy.
