Norfolk Va March 30.-The great coast storm
has during the last two days done a great deal
Of damage in this vicinity. Navigation has been
greatly interfered with; the clubhouses Of the
Portsmouth, Atlantic and Clear View clubs
have been damaged; a cottage at Ocean View
was swept away and two schooners were driven
ashore The gale was less than forty miles in
the city but down the coast it was terrific.
Hampton Roads was seething mass Of white
CAPS and the stanchest ships could scarcely
make the Old Point landing.
The Washington and the Pennsylvania Rail-
way steamers came in this morning almost on
time driven down the bay by the strong gale.
They had a hard time making Fort Monroe,
however and the Washington steamer was un-
able to land all her passengers. She was
slammed violently against the piers and
smashed her rail- Coming across the Horse
shoe the Pennsylvania vessel shipped thousands
of gallons of water, and her windows were
broken in by the sea.
Sand drifts at Cape Henry blocked traffic on
both the Norfolk and Southern and Chesapeake
transit routes The naval collier Hannibal, with
coal for the fleet, was forced by the gale to put
back after starting to sea- The three masted
schooner Benjamin Russell, Captain Cranmere,
went ashore early this morning one mile south
of Creeds Hill life saving station. on the Caro-
lima coast Her five men were taken off in the
life savers breeches buoy. The. vessel was
hound from Rogue Inlet, N. c., for New-Haven,
lumber laden. She is water logged, but her
deckioad of lumber is reported in good con-
dition-
HAMPTON Roads Is full of schooners and even
bie steamships, all with double anchors down.
Nearly everything in the Roads dragged anchors
last night The big four masted schooner, Chas.
H. Davidson Captain sproul, ran in under bare
noles last night and attempted to anchor off
Old Point She dragged ashore In front of the
fort this morning. She is in a perilous position
though her crew can be got off easily, as she is
so close to shore. The Merritt wrecking steam
er Rescue and the government tug Reno are at
work on the stranded vessel, but, as this morn
80 ~nusualIv high tide did not float her, 1t
Sc he1ieved she will have to be dragged of the
rocIr breakwater where she lies. She was bound
from Boston to Norfolk.

INO TARIFF TINKERING.
Mr.. ROOT TO SPEAK.
Will announce the administrator s
Policy in Boston Thursday.
Tsr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Washington March 3O-No tinkering with
the tariff schedules before the next national
campaign and promise Of such revision as is
warranted by circumstances and is compatible
with the business interests and the prosperity
of the country, to take place after the next
Presidential election, will constitute the theme
of a notable address to be delivered by the
Secretary of War before the Home Market
Club of Boston, In that city, on Thursday
night April 2.
Secretary Root has spent much time and
labor IN the preparation Of this speech, which
will doubtless be accepted rejecting the best
thought of the administration, the position OF
President Roosevelt and the members OF his
official family, on the most important issue De-
fore the people-the one proposition on which
Democrats. both East and West are basing
their hopes in 1904.
According to the programme which Mr. Root
is expected to outline to the Home Market Club.
the administration intends to lend every assist
aTlce to the Republican majority In the E tf1tfr
Congress in the policy Of standing pat on the
present tariff law, despite Democratic opposi-
ton. Even the remotest attempt i tinker with
the schedules is to be resisted throughout the
long session Of the coming Congress. The re-
markabIe prosperity now enjoyed is to be pre-
served and protected from Democratic attacks.
There will be no concession in any direction.
The proposition which Secretary Root will sub
nit to the club will emphasize the advisab bilty
Of wholesome revision two years hence.
According to the programme, when the L1Xth
Congress assemblies for the long session, begin
ming December, 1905, the tariff schedules Will
have been submitted to the most careful and
2ainstakfng examination, and such changes
as are deemed consistent with the continued
prosperity of the nation and the growth OF
American Industries will be made by the only
men capable Of readjustng tariff laW-the
men who for more than a quarter Of a century
legisIa ton which has built up the manuTact-
uring industries Of the United States to point
where they exceed those of any other nation on
the face of the earth.
The speech which Secretary Root Will make
to the Home Market Club Will not be a long
one, but 1t will be the most significant utter
ance Of the administration. presenting a policy
along lines bound to command the applause OF
the club because of the great logic of the
argument and the loyalty TO the system Of pro-
lection evinced.
That Secretary Roots utterances will be the
forerunner of the attitude assumed by the ad-
ministration, and that 1t will completely emas-
culate the long and carefully prepared cam
paign speeches OF the Democrats. who intend
to advocate what they pleased to term
moderate tariff reduction" Is a foregone con-
clusion.

retary of State Richard Olney, of Massachu-

last night. Continuing. the Georgian said:
THE Democrats OF the Atlantic Seaboard
States are ready to support either Parker or
Olney and either would carry New-York
against Roosevelt. It is doubtful about Presi-
dent Roosevelt being nominated. 1 regard Odell
ard Hanna as strong possibilities. The conserva-
tive Democrats will control the next National
Convention and the platform will be unequivo-
cally for the gold standard.
