STORM IN THE SOUTH.
Damage From Wind and Rain in
Alabama and Mississipp;,

MOBILE (Ala-), Jan. 6.-After inter-
walls of rain during the night and early
morning, the atmospheric indications of
heavy storm We're noticed here be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock this morning. At
the latter hour a heavy squall, accom-
panied by rain, came up from the
northwest and burst over the city and
river with great violence The winds
velocity was computed to be forty miles
an hour. Property in the northern part
of the city which was exposed suffered
severely. Trees have been uprooted
in the city, and all the Western Union
wires east Of here are down through
the demolition of the iron roof of the
Mobile and Ohio freight sheds. Two
men were blown from wharves into the
river, but so far there has been no loss
of life reported.
JACKSON (NHss.), Jan. 6.-The heavy
rains have caused extensive Washouts

no fatalities are expected.
In order to accommodate the men,
temporary double decked hunks had
been constructed out of tent floors and

SEPARATE COACHES.
Two Bills introduced in the North
Carolina Legislature.

RALEIGH On. c., Jan. 6.-Two bills
have been introduced in the House of
the North Carolina Legislature requir-
ing all railroads in the State to operate
separate coaches for white and colored
passengers.
One Of the bills is an exact copy of
the law now in force in Tennessee,
which has been declared constitutional.
The other is similar to it, except that
it provides that any first-class coach
may be divided into compartments, sep
arated by a substantial partition, in
lieu Of separate coaches"
A bill also was introduced in the
House to amend the State Constitution
so that all "the moneys arising from
the taxation Of the polls and property
Of the white race for public schools
shall be appropriated to the support of
the public schools of the white race, and
all the moneys arising from the taxa
ton Of the polls and property Of the
colored race for public schools shall be
appropriated to the support of the pub
lie schools Of the colored race
The school fund is now proportioncd
according to population, the negroes
getting as much per capita as the white
people, though they pay only 10 per
cent. of the taxes.

The Idea Set Forth in Gen. Henry's
Outline Of Policy
Already Bearing Fruit In the Principal
Towns Of the Island.
The Municipal officials of San Juan
Decide to Employ at the Outset
American Policemen, Including
Their Chief, the Selections to be
Made From the Army.

SAN JUAN porto Rico), Dec. IL
The idea of having American police
men in Porto Rico's principal towns,
which was set forth in General Hen
rvs outline of policy when he took
charge Of this island, is already bearing
fruit. Upon the LIST of January, 1899,
this new arrangement will be active in
this city. Upon recommendations OF
Generals Henry and Grant, the Mayor
and Municipal Council of San Juan
have appointed an American as Chief
of the new police force.
The municipal officials of San Juan
have decided to employ at the outset
ten American policemen, including their
Chief, and it is announced that these
men will be selected from the army.
Their pay will be $50 gold a month,
and if they prove themselves to be eff
Gent they will eventually draw SIS a
month. The selections from the army
will be carefully made, and good men
can be secured. There is no lack of
volunteers for the service. The pay
alone is enough to attract them, while
many men would gladly accept this
more interesting career of a city po-
iceman, when compared to the mo-
notony of barrack life
The selection of men for this purpose
from the army has provoked consider
able dissatisfaction, and has been the
subject of much comment. An order
was issued to commanding officers to
ascertain which of their men would
volunteer for this service, and also to
recommend those who in their opinions
were the best men for the work. This
will have the effect of taking away
from regiments and batteries their best
non commissioned officers and drill
masters. The salary of $50 or ST5 as
compared to SO is a potent factor.
Good on-commissioned officers are
hard to obtain, and only army officers
know how important such men are in
the regimental organizations. Regular
army officers are, then, inclined to be
unfavorably disposed toward the action
that takes from them their best and
most desirable men, for just these men
will have to be recommended, and win
probably be selected to join the police
force. 1t is argued that excellent men
for this purpose of policing can be OBJ
tanned from the States, and that in all
events, if the selections must be made
from the army, they should be made
from volunteer regiments whose MEM
bers Will soon be mustered out any
way, and who could supply policemen
