OCEAN CYCLONE
BUFFETS FLEET
North Atlantic Warships En-
counter Terrific Storm
While Homeward Bound
MAN LOST OVERHEARD
Ordinary Seaman Cecil Clay
Young of the Battleship
Missouri Is Drowned

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Back from
their European cruise and by way of
Menemshe Blight, where, since their
return, the ships have been engaged in
target work, the four battleships of
the North Atlantic feet reached this
port to-day-the Kearsarge, the Ala
bama, the Maine and the Missouri.
The fleet consists of the most powerful
battleships afloat and withal the most
pretentious armada which this coun-
try has ever sent abroad The other
two battleships, the Illinois and the
Iowa. are still on the target grounds,
but are expected to arrive within a
day or so.
The fleet brought the story OF a
great cyclone encountered at sea.
Early on Thursday morning, when the
barometers gave warning of the ap-
preaching storm, the fleet was well
scattered along the south of the island.
the Kearsarge (hagship), the battle
ships Alabama, Texas and Maine and
the gunboat Scorpion well together,
The battleships Iowa and Illinois some
six miles to the eastward.
Along toward early daylight the flag
ship sent wireless messages to the fleet
to get up steam and be ready to move
at a moments warning.
The Texas had her steam cutter low
cred and so heavy had been the groan-
ing rollers-precursor of a storm-that
it had been found impossible to hoist
it. Captain Swinburne ordered that
life lines be flung to the men in the
boat and through megaphone they
were ordered to tie the lines about
their bodies and jump. They obeyed
and one after another were hauled on
board, bit bruised and half drowned.
One of the MisSouri's men was swept
overheard from the forecastle. He was
ordinary seaman Cecil Clay Young.
Life buoys were Immediately thrown
over, but the man, loaded down by his
oilskins, was unable to reach the buoys,
which were rapidly drifting to leeward-
Young was a native of Marseilles,
Ohio. where his father lives. A wire
less message announcing his death was
sent by Captain Cowles to the fleet.
The hurricane is described by those
who went through it as the most vio-
lent they had ever encountered. A
mighty sea would smite one of the
heavy battleships and she would dis
appear to her funnel tops in spray,
shake the water out of her eyes" as
one expressed it, and take another
plunge.

trated to Germany, according to infor-
nation obtained to-day, which details
occurrences in Germany rivaling the
deeds Of the Jew baiters in Russia.
There was riot at Sasnovitch one
week ago to-day, in which fifty Jews
were murdered in the streets, the
slaughter occurring coineidentally with
the celebration Of the Jewish New
Year. More than 100 Jews were wound
ed, some Of them mortally. and atroci-
ties Of the most bloody character were

has been suppressed in Germany.
The riots began at sunrise on Sunday
one week ago and continued until the
rioters were exhausted. The bodies Of
the victims were dismembered. The
rioters used axes and knives to chop
off arms and legs, the severed MEM
bers being tossed to the dogs in the
streets. In one instance thearms of a

down, if be was making good his es-
cape.
The bodies Of those who were riddled
with bullets were left in the street IN
til a second mob, carrying knives,
would come along. With their sharp
blades they severed hands, legs and
feet.
A young Jewish woman, who was the
mother Of five children. fought desper-
ateIy and pleaded, for her children's
sake, that her life be spared. She was
stabbed ffty-eight times and dismem-
bered.
The massacre lasted all day. In the
darkness Of night the Jews gathered up
the fragments Of bodies and buried
them. while the wounded were taken

ere came to-day in a cable dispatch to

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE Journals &C.
noa correspondent reports that he trav-
eled to Nice in order to file the follow
ing uncensored dispatch:
THE situation throughout Italy In
most serious. At Rome the Council
of Ministers has called out two classes
of reserves in order to reinforce the
authorities. Premier GioIftti has post
poned a journey to RaccOnigt, which
he had intended to make, for the pur-
pose of extending his personal con-
gratulations on the birth of the crown
Prince. At Porto Novo crowds OF peo-
pie stopped the railway trains, many
children lying down before the engines.
The troops were powerIess. One per-
son was killed and several were bad
ly hurt in a collision with soldiers az
Genoa, where the strikers prevented
the departure of trains. Railway tracks
were also torn up near Rivarolo. No
trains left Milan Sunday night"
ROME, Sept. 1S.-The Mayor OF Turin
has telegraphed Signor Giolitti, prest-
dent Of the Council and Minister OF
the Interior, in the name OF the So
ciaIist Aldermen of Turin, expressing
the desire of the workingmen that IN
PREVENTION of troops in peaceful con-
fiicts between capital and labor be
avoided. Signor Giolitti Immediately
replied by telegraph that for three
years, as Minister Of the Interior, he
had constantly supported the princi-
pie of absolute liberty Of workingmen
to strike and that it was not the duty
Of the Government to intervene, and,
adding that he intended to follow the
same principles while he remains In
power. The Minister continues:
1.-The painful facts are to be regret
ted by all that in one case soldiers used
their arms in self defense after being
attacked and wounded, and in another
instance acted without orders from
their superiors. Therefore these SOL
diers have been put at the disposal OF
the judicial authorities while an in
quiry is going on to ascertain the re-
sponsibility for. the occurrences.
Signor Giolitti's dispatch ended as
follows:
I'm administering my Office I shall
remain always within the law, but
shall perform my. duty and make the
law respected by all. I therefore hope
the Socialists will recommend calm be-
havior and avoid deplorable violence
in compromising the cause Of liberty"

THEIR FATHER
Two Little Texas Girls Pre-

MAKE FULL CONFESSION
Older of Juvenile Murderers
Is Thirteen and Her Sis
ter Is Eleven Years
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MARLIN, Tex, Sept. 1S.-The mys-
terry surrounding the murder of C. S.
Stewart, a farmer living eight miles
south of here, was cleared to-day by
the confessions of his two little
daughters, aged II and 1S years, that
they committed the crime.
The body of Stewart was found yes
terday afternoon. the alarm being
given by his daughters. He was lying
on a cot on the porch of his residence.
The head had been severed from the
body with a sharp ak. The girls
claimed at first that they heard no
noise during the night and that they
did not know who killed their father.
Their bloody clothing caused suspicion
to be pointed at them and as result
of a sharp questioning they confessed.
According to the story of the little
girls, their father was about to re-
marry, their mother being dead. They
objected to him bringing a stepmother
to their home.
Two days later a letter came for
him during his absence. 1t was from
the prospective stepmother and the
children destroyed it. Their father
learned of this and when he came
home Friday night he told his two lit
tie girls that he was going to kill them
and that they must say their prayers.
He did not carry out the threat and
when he got to sleep the two girls got
the ak and chopped his head off.
The crime has caused great excite
ment, as the murdered man was
prominent in the community in which
he lived. The two little girls are
pretty and intelligent.

SON OF GREAT
BISMARCK HAS
PEACEFUL END

FREDERICKSBURG, Sept. Is
Prince Herbert Bismarck died this
morning at 1915 o'clock. The end was
painless.
Since he ceased to be Foreign Minis
ter on the retirement of his father in
1890 Prince Herbert Bismarck had
taken part in public affairs only as
member of the Reichstags His attitude
had been more of a man not appre-
ciated by his sovereign and who was
waiting in the background for an OPP
portunity to resume his career.
His delivery as Parliamentary
speaker improved year by year. He al
ways declined to join any political
group, steadfastly calling himself an
independent. His naughty and impe-
rious manner in early life, when he
was overconscious of the fact that he
was the son of the most powerful
statesman in Europe, softened in later
life.
Prince Bismarck's father trained him
for his successor as Chancellor of the
German Empire and advanced him
rapidly in the diplomatic service, until
at the age OL AZ ne was N1lulSICL VI
Foreign Affairs, in which position he
took part in nearly every important
international transaction.
An incident that nearly. wrecked
Prince Herberts career and that
caused the old Chancellor great an
noyance was Prince Chen Count Her
berts elopement with Princess Caro-
loath Beuthen, the wife of Prince Karl.
the head of that distinguished Silesian
house The Princess was of the Hatz-
feldt family and young Bismarck at
that time was his fathers private sec
rotary. Count Herbert lived with the
Princess in Southern Italy for a few
weeks, and then, at the command of
his father, returned to Germany. The
Princess was divorced, and has since
died.
The title of Prince Bismarck and the
large fortune of the deceased viii go
to his seven-year-old son, Otto.
The late Emperor Frederick gave to
Chancellor Bismarck extensive forests
at FREDERICKSBURG, which have since
increased in value, and the Chancellor
gave to Prince Herbert $2,400,000 in Sc
curities and cash The estate is now
estimated to be worth $4,000,000, excIu-
sive of the lands
