France Makes New Move.

London, Nov. .1.-France has not yet
succeeded in persuading any European
power, even her ally, Russia, to make
Representations to England to stay her
hand in South Africa, but she is now
making an insidious but none the less
! hostile effort to embarrass England.
| Starting on the assumption that the
naturalization of Delagoa bay is q
matter essentially European, France
proposes that Russia, Germany. Italy.
| Austria and even little Holland shall
send at least two or three warships to
! Lourenzo Marquee and keep them
| there until the end of the campaign.
| IT any power should entertain such a
proposal a conhagration would be in
evitable England is absolutely deter
mined TO permit no such Interference in
the sphere wherein geographically as
well as by good diplomatic understand
| ing with Portugal she claims para
mountcy.
A semi-official note published in Rome
conclusively proves that France is
pressing this plan in Europe. and some
! what vaguely promises that Italy will
send a squadron to Delagoa Bay pro-
| vided the other powers do the same.
This is safe promise, as European
agreements make it problematical.

storm ON Atlnntic Coast.

New York, Nov. 1.-The storm which
the weather bureau predicted would
strike the Atlantic coast from Della
ware breakwater to Eastport arrived
Yesterday, and the warning which had
been sent out to keep shipping in port,
and the notification that hurricane sig
nails should be displayed at ports along
the threatened coast, came none too
soon.
Early reports to washington indicat-
ed that the expected storm had ap-
peared in quite as great force as had
been predicted, and the result of these
reports was that warnings were sent
out yesterday
The storm came from the Caribbean
Sea, and Monday morning 1t was off the
Florida and South Atlantic coast.
All the way up the coast the storm in
creased in intensity and was attended
by northeast to north gales of thirty to
sixty miles an hour. Some vessels
braved the gales in the face of the
warnings, but many stayed in port
Every vessel in Hampton Roads moved
up to sheltered harbors.
