LOUISVILLE, KY, September 21-The
hurricane which late yesterday whipped
it's way through the Gulf of Mexico
northward, doing great property damage
and causing some loss of life, was CEN
trail this morning at Corinth, Miss, and
and the great lakes, according to advices
to the weather bureau here
At Corinth the barometer registered
2S.94. causing winds ranging in velocity
from forty to forty-eight miles per hour.
with an accompaniment of heavy rains.
The progress of this storm is easily ap-
parent when it is known that the hurri-
cane which was in full force at New Or
leans at o'clock last night is, twelve
hours later, central at Corinth. just a
few miles from the Tennessee line.
The disturbance Is now thoroughly in
land, and this morning shows no diminu-
ton in force. Local Forecaster Waltz
says the storm is headed directly for the
Ohio valley, and that it shows no indi-
cations of decreasing in energy.
The storm was felt at Nashville, Tenn,
at half-past this morning
Gulf Coast Isolated.
ATLANTA. Ca, September 21.-Al-
though first reports this morning indicat-
ed that the gulf coast hurricane had
abated, meager details later told it's in
creasing intensity with the dawn. Again
the entire gulf coast of Louisiana and
Mississippi is isolated from the world, all
communication being cut off and the traf-
fic suspended.
During the night partial communication
was restored. but at 5 o'clock this morn
ing the last wire went down. At that time
the Western Union operator at Flomaton,
town sixty-one miles from Mobile, said
the hurricane had again begun its work
of devastation. Mobile was in the grasp
of the storm, many Of the streets and
buildings were flooded and the velocity of
the wind was then fifty miles an hour.
No deaths had been reported there up
to that time. but it was expected that
when communication was resumed there
would be a list of dead as we'll as an
enormous amount Of property damage
Communication with New Orleans failed
earlier. The last report at 1 am. told of
four deaths and an immense property
damage.
Between Mobile and New Orlean- sew
eral passenger trains are waterbOund.
and with the waters rapidly rising the
trains with their human freight are in
danger. For many miles inland the force

EXPLORER MOBBED BY FRIENDS
Wreathed in Roses, He Tells Of
Gladness on Return to Native
Land With Polar Laurels.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 2l-The man
who says he was the first Of all mon
to reach the crest of the world-the
north pole which had been the unat-
tained goal of centuries of effort
came home today.
He came up the gray bay amid sucn 4
tumultuous welcome as the old harbor
has not seen in many years.
New York's waterway was black
with an armada Of vessels Between
these the steamboat Grand Republic,
with the home-returning explorer safe
on it's deck, made it's triumphal prog.
ress.
All the harbor craft blew their sirens
in greeting, men folk at the rails
cheered, the crowd on the Grand Re-
public howled itself hoarse. and the din
was terrific. The uproar was the big
city's assurance Of it's belief.
DIR. Cook took it all modestly. He
smiled a great deal and talked little.
Cook Defines His Attitude.
He made brief speech in response
to the addresses of welcome. and gave
out a typewriter statement bearing on
his trip farthest north. This. he indi-
Gated, contained everything he cared to
say at present.

tions, said that he would not withhold
them from the public long. but would
spread them before the world so that
had not returned home to argue with
one man or fifty" but to let results
speak for themselves.
The explorer declined to enter into any
verbal combat with Peary. When he was
asked to make answer to this statement
and that, which had come hot from Battle
Harbor-statements which threw doubt
upon his credibility-he simply shut his
laws tightly and replied nothing. Not
word of criticism of the Roosevelt's COM
mander or return shot could be had
from him.
His message to the public was to wait.
1t was too much to expect. he said. that
work covering two years could be
fully told of in a moment. He would
put before the public not only the en-
tire record In black and white, but would
bring here to America human witnesses
to prove that he had reached the pole
The witnesses are his two Eskimos

The Sussex senatorship

In a manly editorial Jacob l.. Bun
nell, one of the proprietors of the New
Jersey Herald at Newton, has an
nounced his candidacy for the Dem
ocratic nomination for senator from
Sussex county at the primaries next
September. In Sussex a Democratic
nomination is usually equal to an
election. Nh. Bunnell goes on to say
"that while approaching the Senator
ial nomination as a recognition of loyal
and conscientious service should the
Democratic party in its more mature
Judgment deem it proper to award the
honor to someone else, he will have
the same enthusiastic and effective
support of the Herald and it's editor
personally as has been given in the
past.n The above statement from a
party standpoint has the right ring to
1t and you can rest assured that there is
nc vestige of a sorehead in the make
up of Brother Bunnell. Should Mr..
Bunnell receive the nomination and be
elected there is every indication that
he will carry to the important office of
Senator the same dignity, fairness
courtesy and hard working qualities
that has characterized him as secretary
of the New Jersey Editorial Association
for so many years. Here's good wishes
to Brother Bunnell from old Cape
May.
