Dispatchs from London state that a
fierce gale from the Atlantic swept over
the United Kingdom yesterday. Noun
famous seas we're reported along the
coasts. At Stornoway, Outer Hebrides,
the Danish steamer Alabama dragged
her anchors and stranded on Peninsula
Point. Her eDgine-room and the stoke
hold section are flooded, she is leaking
forward and has listed to starboard.
A small vessel foundered off Marlborough
Head, Yorkshire, on the North Sea, but
the crew of 10 men were rescued. Sew
eral miuor chipping accidents have also
been reported. Much damage has been
done inland. Telegraph and telephone
lines are down, and communications are
interrupted with the provinces and some
parts OF the continent. A number of
accidents in Londen, due to flying
debris, have been reported. The gale re-
suited in an abnormally high tide on
the eastern coast of England and in the
Thames estuary, producing serious
floods in the low-lyilg parts Of London,
where hundreds of warehouses and resi-
dences were inundated and serious
damage was done 1t was the highest
tide at London for many years, the
water almost oversweeping the Thames

previous night to house at Brick Haven,

dividual now in custody as the one who
committed the assaults. The evidence
against the suspect, however, is by no
means conclusive, and there is a pOssi-

feeble attempt to do so today when ex-

time threatened an acrimonious conflict

been settled by the republican leaders
