verely.
The plant of the Warren Fish Co.,
on Baylen street wharf is completely
wrecked and all of the vessels that
were at the pier have been blown
ashore. West from the Baylen street
pier the scene is one of ruin. Vessels
of every description are upon the
leach, some of them left high and
! CRY by the receding waters. Others
are smashed beyond all hope of re-
pair. The ship yard is total wreck
and a number of vessels that were
undergoing repairs are badly injured
The steamer Columbia, which has
hen on the ways for some time is
wrecked as are several of the vessels
of the Dunwody-Aiken Towboat Co..
which owned a large pier and had an
extensive plant little west of Ba len
street. The houses along the bay
shore. from Barcelona street to Per
dido are in ruins and all along the
shore innumerable vessels of every
description are scattered as far as the
eye can reach.
The tug Simpson, one of the larg.
est in the harbor is hard and fast OF
Sullivan sballast crib. The Simpson
attempted to get to sea a ct o'clock
last night with the expectation of be-
| ing able to weather the storm but
was forced to turn back and was run
on the rocks to save her from being
a total loss.
The Monarch and Mary Lee are
high and dry with their noses almost
in Pine street, but both can be float
ed with comparatively little loss.
They were damaged to some extent
by the wind and waves but were in a
fairly safe position. The ship Avon
was driven ashore near the end of
Baylen street wharf, but will proba-
bly, be saved with little loss 3D..
A report from Baskerville at 2 p.
M, is to the effect that the many
homes along the bay shore in that VI
cinity suffered severely, many being
practically ruined. The new residence
of Laz Jacoby which is some distance
back from the waterfront was COM
pletely turned around and the build
ing badly damaged. The home of
Mitch Jacoby was also badly damaged
and large fishing smack, the Has
kins and the big lighter, Iris were
thrown into his yard on the bay side.
The Fisher residence was also dam
aged considerable, and all wharves
and docks swept away. The Perdido
wharf was also badly damaged, but
the full extent of the damage could
not be learned during the afternoon.
Reports from along the bayshore
south of Baskerville are meagcr but
an impression prevails that immense
damage was done.

to the stage. Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by Nationa | Committeeman r. E. L.
mountcastle, who referred to him as the
greatest private citizen in the world and
the next standard bearer of the Demo
cratic party. Speaking of the failure OF
the Tennessee Democratic State Conven-
ton to indorse him, Mr.. Bryan said:
II have not asked a convention to in
dorse me. do not know that two years
from now it will be wise for any conven-
ton to indorse me-
Mr.. Bryan explained somewhat in de-
tail his position on the railroad govern
ment ownership question, his remarks be-
ing in effect the same as those made at
other points In the South.
Memphis. Tenn, Sept 26.-William ].

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-William J..
Bryan arrived here from Memphis this
evening. Owing to the delay in his arriv-
al he drove directly to the Ryman Audi
torium, where the speaking was held.
Six thousand people greeted Mr.. Bryan.
That the crowd was in sympathy with his
ideas was fully shown by the applause
which greeted his periods, but there was
not the same warmth of Endorsement
given his government ownership ideas as
to other portions of his speech.
Mr.. Bryan entered the auditorium ac-
companied by Chairman of the State
Committee Henry B. Morrow, former
Governor Robert L. Taylor and Senator
Frazier. The band played 'The Star
Spangled Banner" the tremendous audi
ence standing and cheering until the
building fairly shook. Hats. handker-
chiefs and even coats were waved as the

house have also been wrecked.
A large sailing vessel lies half
submerged on the rocks which form
the timber boom off the foot of Alcaa-
IL street and is in dangerous posi-
ton. 1t is the general opinion that
the vessel will break in two as soon
as the tide goes down.
The wharves of the L. & N. R. R.
; Co., were badly damaged by the storm
and immense quantities of freight
that were stored upon them will be a
total loss. The conveyor on the Tar
ragona wharf is completely demol-
! ished and a large portion of the pier
has disappeared. The damage to
Commandments wharf is also great, a
number of vessels having been
, thrown clear to the platform.
In the slip between the wharves
several vessels found a safe haven
from the storm, ameE. st,them being
the coasting steamer Tarpon,. which
was due to leave the city on its east
ward trip on Tuesday night,
but which was held in port owing to
the storm signals. The large vessels
are sunk in the slip between the
wharves and one is aground to the
west of the slip. The tug Flanders
managed to get in the slip hSsore the
heaviest portion of the storm broke
and is among the few vessels in the
bay that was not damaged.
Sullivan's wharf, which was used
by the Pensacola, st. Andrews and
Gulf Steamship Co., is a complete
loss, only the shore end remaining.
In the slip between the head of this
! wharf and the Palafox. street wharf
several vessels are ashore, among
them the tug Okaloosa. The Florence
| Wetherbee is sunk at PalafOX wharf,
only her upper works being out of the
water.
The entire plant of Saunders & Co.,
| is in ruins and the wharf is prac-
tically destroyed. The main building
was shifted to the west of its origin
al location and what now remains of
tits tottering on the edge of the pier.

but owing to the inclement weather the
Lyceum Theatre was used for this pur-
pose.
At 10 o'clock the committee escorted
Mr.. Bryan to the theatre, which was
packed with people. Mr.. Bryan was
given rousing reception when he an
peared upon the stage. He was intro
duced by Hon. William III. Carroll. an
his address was given close attention.
Mr.. Bryan left shortly alter noon for
Nashville. where he will speak tonight.
He will then visit then
He will then visit Little Rock and Okla
homa.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan said he had
carefully read the address delivered by
Secretary Shaw in Memphis several days
ago. He said that the Republicans lead
ers need not be afraid OF the Democrats
on the tariff question. Should the latter
succeed to power. the speaker believed
that reduction in the tariff would be
made. but it would not be reduced to such
an extent to cause the Republicanssto lose
much sleep.
Mr.. Bryan said that his advocacy OF
government ownership of railroads had
been greatly magnified. President Roose-
welt. the speaker declared, had given the
railroads to understand that unless the
recent rate bill was passed he would rec
ommend government ownership.
There was no hue and cry over this, ."
declared the speaker.

The most terrific storm in the his
tory Of Pensacola or since the village
of Pensacola on Santa Rosa Island
was swept away 10 years ago, broke
over this city in all its fury Wednes-
1 day afternoon and kept up, with in
creasing violence until about aeon ~

able extent During the height of the
storm property valued in the millions
was destroyed and it is stated that at
least ten lives were lost, although the
names Of those supposed to have
been drowned cannot be ascertained
at this time. The greatest loss was
TO the shipping interests and large
number of ocean going vessels, tug
boats, fishing smacks, launches and
craft of all kinds are wrecked upon
the beach, the wreckage being strewn
from Magnolia Bluff to the entrance
Of the harbor. During the height of
the storm people of the city were
panic stricken, many believing that a
repetition of the Galveston disaster
was imminent, and large numbers OF
people took refuge to the higher por
lions of the city, Drawing the high

Southern Pacific Will Co
Operate With the Gov
ernrnent-Comrnand-.. :,
ers in Conference.

New Orleans, Sept 26.-It was
stated at the offices of the Southern
Pacific Steamship Company, owners
of the Morgan Line of steamers, that
the Associated Pres dispatch alleged
that the government had arranged
with the Morgan Line for the trans
portation of marines from Southern
stations to Havana, In pursuance of
Secretary Taft's demand for more
marines to occupy the island, was the
only information which had reached
the local offices regarding the matter.
1t was stated, however, that the
Southern Pacific Company would un-
doubtedly hasten to cooperate most
actively with the government in any
movement of the kind, and that the
company is in position to cooperate
effectually. The steamship Excelsior
which is now in the Cuban trade,
reached the city yesterday afternoon
from Havana, and on her regular
schedule will sail Saturday. It was
stated yesterday, however, that the
ship could sail on very short notice
the only delay necessary being that
required for the marines to get
aboard.
On account of the shortness of the
run to Havana, the Excelsior
could carry, all told. probably 1000
marines to the island. Her license
does not allow her to carry as many
as 200, but by placing the marines
on decks and in the cargo the short
run could be made without danger

Pierre, S. D., Feb ga brief insign,
as to the intentions of the Northwest
ern extension from Pierre to Rapid
City, in regard to townsites, the course
of the road, ETC., is interesting at this
time. The survey of the new line shows
river, at the postoff1ce Of Philip. Here
it will follow up the south fork of the
river, or what is known as Cottonwood
creek, and crossing over the divide will
run down short creek or draw to the
Cheyenne river, at postoff1ce now
known as Dakota City. From thence
1t will go up Box Elder creek to Rapid
City.
Between Pierre and Rapid City there
will be fifteen stations. or side tracks,
distributed on an average Of ten miles
apart. The principal, and practically
the only two towns on the line will be
at Midland, forty-eight miles up the
river and at Dakota City. at the eros

STORY WAS NOT TRUE.
Mike Russell, Of Deadwood, Says "Buf,

'ssS S"s - wv ~0uNb wy
Deadwood, 8. D., Feb. 27.-The sen.
sational story that has been going the
rounds OF the papers to the effect that
Buffalo Bill OF worldwide fame is Il
broken man physically and financially.
is quite without foundation. so says
Mike Russell of this city. who has just
returned from q visit with Colonel
Cody in New York. Tho colonel and
Mr.. Russell are old time friends, hav-
ing hunted on the plains and hobnob-
bed together for years. Mr.. Russell
says that he saw Colonel Cody of for
France when he sailed form New York
surrounded by his Indians and cowboys
only a few weeks ago: and that the
colonel was never in better health or
spirits. He has not lost in his capa-
city for happiness and his financial
welfare IL still at par. He sailed from
New York for Marseilles France where
he will join his Wild West show. which
remains abroad for the rest of the sea-
son. The reports going the rounds
stated further that this would be his
last year in the show business, and
that he contemplated long vacation.
Mr.. Russell says that there is nothing
at all in that statement as Colonel
Cody has already made contracts to
open next year at Madison Square Gar
dens, New York, where for many sea-
sons his Wild West show has delighted
:ity audiences.
