STORM SWEPT.
SAN FRANCISCO HAS A GALE AND
 MUCH DAMAGE RESULTS.
Street-Car Service Tied Up, and Con siderable Damage Done to
 Shipping.

San Franeisco-A southeast gale, sweeping along the coast at regis tered velocity of AS miles an hour, December 10 resulted in the death of one man ill San Francisco and in the severe injury of several others Ship ping in the harbor was damaged con siderably. and in all quarters of the city tot.ering walls were hurled to the ground, blockading streets and interrupting traffic. Owing to the danger from falling walls street car service was entirely suspended
 On the bay the storm was terrific. The ferry boats, proceeding with eX- traordinary caution, were tossed about until scores of passengers were made sick. The lower decks were awash most of the time and occasionally d crest of wave leaped onto the hur- ricane deck.
 What threatened to result in se rious panic occurred on the Kay route boat, San Francisco when an unusually large wave struck the vessel, carrying ing her to leeward. Women scream ed and tainted; men rushed for the lifeboats, and only the advice and command of the eool-headed prevent ed injury and perhaps loss of life.
 Double anchor chains did not pre- vent some of the larger vessels in the harbor from slipping their moor ings. The Chinese war junk, Whand Ho, which lay south of the K ferry slips dragged her anchor until she rested in the channel immediately in front of the ferries, increasing the difficulties of navigation. The Brit ish ship, Palgrave, slipped her moor ings shortly after s o'clock nd drifted into the rock shore of Alcatraz island where for time it seemed that she would be beaten to pieces. Two tugs went to her assistance and towed her into deep water.
 Three hundred thousand dollars is the estimated loss of four of San Francisco's largest firms by reason of the damage done by the storm The large building at the corner of Polk and Van Ness avenues gave in before the fury of the storm and all the valuable merchandise housed there was ruined The building was occupied by the Mann Trunk Com pany, the Hahnemann pharmacy and the Meijei Art Company. The loss is said to be about s200,000 The build ing occupied by the California Notion and Toy Company at 500 Post street collapsed just before noon. and the larger portion of the stock was de stroyed. The underwriters saved what they could. but the firm will suffer to the extent of nearly $100, 900.
 After the British ship Palgraye, which went ashore on Alcatraz island, had been lowed out into the stream again, the vessel was a second time overtaken by an unusually heavy blast, which carried her and two tugs on the rocks. At a late hour the Palgrave was still on the rocks. The tugs have been unable to move her again.
 It will take days, perhaps weeks, to restore the street car system.
 At Point Reyes and at Mare Is land navy yard the wind reached velocity of 50 miles an hour, and fears are entertained for the safety of shipping along the coast.
