STORM PASSES UP COAST.

The tropical storm that fingered in
the Gulf for several days passed up the
Atlantic coast, causing severe gales,
the wind at Hatteras Light ON Monday
rising to 70 miles an hour. The Allan
tic was more dangerous than for long
time. and crafts, little and big, sought
shelter. Reports from Maine to the
Gulf give evidence of the storms sever
ity. The wind at Cape Henry rose to
SO miles an hour, and the sea had ar
unusually ugly appearance. The huri-
cane swept Turks Island on Septembe,
18th, the wind having a velocity OF
100 miles an hour, making a complete
wreck of the town of Grand Turk, and
wrecking the shipping in the harbor.
Many lives are reported lost.
1t is reported that an unknown five
masted schooner went ashore below
Virginia Beach Tuesday, and that
the crew was removed from the vessel
by the life savers. While not verified
the report seems authentic. Shipping
has been generally interrupted by the
storm. and all of the regular sailing de.
layed. Incoming steamers report rough
experiences atsea, and they have beer
reported from three to six hours overdue

5000 VETS WANT TO VOTE.

According to well-known attorney
of Hampton, the Republican National
Committee has decided to make an at
tempt to have the veterans of the
National Soldiers Home registered for
participation in the approaching national
and Congressional election as citizens of
Elizabeth City county. This attorney
states that he has been retained to rep
resent the old soldiers, and that he be-
lieves he is going to win his fight to
have them declared eligible for regis
tration in the county.
While it is generally believed that the
project will amount to nothing, the an
nouncement has created stir. If the
plan should be successful and the 8. 600
veterans at the Soldiers Home made
voters it would probably result in the
election of Republican Congressman
from this, the First district.
The lawyer states that he will have
one of the veterans apply for registra-
ton and when this is denied the Circuit
Court will be asked for writ of man.
damus compelling the registrar to act.
This will bring the case into the courts,
and it is believed that, in the attorneys
declaration that he will take the matter
to the u. s. Supreme Court if necessary
to win is fulfilled. the proceedings will
be pending for many a day after the
November election.

POLITICAL.

The Maine election was a substan-
tial defeat for the Republican ticket,
for although that party won, the actual
loss in votes was a virtual defeat. The
majority of 25.S00 in 1904 was cut
down to 5000.
Joe Cannon is having a hard time of
it. With the bishops of the Methodist
church attacking him on his whiskey
record, Gompers fighting him on the
labor question, and Bryan calling him to
task on his unfounded assertions. it is
thought his defeat for Congress is GER
tain.
j. M. Mccormick, of Chicago, states
that there Is great apathy among the
Republicans of the west, and that the
cause is in grave danger, while James
G. Hill, the railroad magnate, saws
that the Republicans are over-confdent,
and that Bryan is very popular. The
election is not quite seven weeks off.
The example of negro Democrat in
Prince George county, who digs in the
field for his living and who has sent Mr..
Bryan $40 as a contribution, ought to
bring the blush to the cheek of every
white man who howled for the nomina-
ton of Bryan, but who is too stingy to
contribute one dollar to his election
Petersburg Index-Appeal.
Mr.. G. N. Wise, of Newport News,
the Republican candidate for Congress
in the First District, has addressed
letter to Congressman w. A. Jones,
Democratic nominee, inviting him to
meet him in series of joint debates
throughout the district on dates and at
places to be mutually agreed upon.
The invitation is conditioned upon a
joint discussion at least once in each
county in the district. and the terms to
alternate. 1t is believed that MIR.
Jones will accept if it does not conflict
with his other appointments. Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Wise met at Eastville
Monday in joint debate. This meeting
was not planed, but arranged after
their getting together.
The Republican Convention of the
State of New York Tuesday nominated
Governor Hughes to succeed himself.
There was great but intellectual oppo-
sition to Hughes by the machine polite
ians. but he was warmly backed by the
President. Lewis S. Chanler, now lieu
tenant governor, has been nominated
l. Al -
Governor, against Mr.. HUGHES, the pres
ent Governor. Special dispatches from
Saratoga state that while the Republi-
can Convention nominted Hughes, the
party is pledged to oppose his policies.
1t looks as if he would be stabbed in
the house of his friends, and it is pos
sible that the Democratic ticket may
win through the disaffection of Hughes
party.

FRANCE HAS THE
POLLUTED OYSTER SCARE

The Government Board of Health has
Just laid before the Project of Police in
Paris set of rules dealing with the
sale OF oysters, which, when they are
put in force, should go far, says the
"Presse," to ensure the public against
many of the dangers so often associated
with the popular bivalves. The rules
are as follows:-
1. 1t IS forbidden to offer for sale or
serve for consumption oysters of which
the shells have not beer properly and
sufficiently eleansed of foreign sub
stances adhering to them.
2. 1t is expressly prohibited to use
salt which has served for the preserya-
ton OF fish in the water in which oys-
ters are kept or with which they are
sprinkled.
8. Sellers may only use pure drink
ing water, artifcially sailed if neces-
sary, for sleeping or sprinkling the
oysters. =s
a. Utensils used by sellers for OPEN
ing oysters must always be kept clean.
Open oysters must not be washed, bat
mustbe kept covered against all dirt.
5. Infringements of these rules viii
De noted by police resorts and punished
IN the ordinary police court. A-'a
b. These rules will be printed and
postedup. The police inspector of the
Second ACCOMPLISHMENT, the divisional
inspector of markets, the chief of the
sanitary division and the special COM
missioner of the Central Markets will
each be responsible for their due obser-
vance.

DROUGHrIN PENNSYLVANIA.

The long continued drought in Penn
sylvania is causing great distress. and
crops are well nigh ruined from lack of
rain. Wells that have never been
known to fail are dry and the low water
in the rivers is stopping the mills.
Electrical machinery dependant on
waterpower for its generation, is failing
for Lack OF motive power. and unless
rain falls soon all work of that sort will
cease. The streams in upper Maryland
are lower than for twenty years.

BRYAN In MARYLAND.

W. ]. Bryan spoke in Baltimore on
Monday night last to an audience of
not far from 10000. His speech was a
brilliant effort, and his resume of the
reforms needed in the political condi-
tons IN the country was mastery. 1t

Bay Tow---Ihe Program Of Festivities.

Seri of Tiburon Island, whom they re-
semble slightly. Unlike most of their
brethren of Lower California, they
live largely by hunting and fishing,
and pay little attention to agricul-
tural pursuits. Their original wea-
pom was the bow, which they still
handle with great proficiency, but in
the last decade of two number of
old rifles have fallen into their hands
and upon these they now place most
of their dependence in hunting. They
are poor shots but wonderful stalk
ers. and an Indian with ammunition
never goes hungry.
Water fowl of many varieties are
very numerous about the bay, and
the duck shooting along the shore
is no whit inferior to the quail shoot
ing ten miles inland. Pelican shoot
ing also affords no little sport, be-
sides furnishing the Officers with
most unique souvenirs in the form of
robes made by sewing together the
skin of the breasts of a number of
these great birds. The pelican is
one of the most tenaciously feath-
cred birds known to natural history,
and one of these robes, besides being
very beautiful, is practically inde-
structible in the course of ordinary
wear. They may be bought from
the Indians, but as those so obtained
are invariably filthy beyond descrip-
tion, there is practically no other
course open for the would-be posses-
sor but to kill his own birds. AS it
is rarely possible to approach flock
of pelicans close enough for shot
gun to be used effectively. they must
be killed one by one with rifle, a
feat which requires no little skill
with that weapon. A prime pelican
robe is worth from $100 to 5000, ac-
cording to its size, the value being
usually computed at the rate of about
dollar a skin.

There is clash in the Republican
party in Colorado Springs between
the friends of former Congressman
Franklin E. Brooks and those of
Clarence C. Hamlin, who are candi-
dates for the position now held by
Senator Teller in the United States
senate. One would think by reading
the dispatches from that place that
the fight lay between these two peo-
pie and that no one else had even a
look-in. And yet there are some Re
