sells sunk, one steamer ashore and an
other disabled is a total of the disasters
to shipping in the tropical hurricane
which swept the West Indies and the
southern section of the United States
reported here. Several lighthouses
along the coast have been reported
dark
Here and at st. Augustine the storm
is abating, but no word has been re-
ceived from other places and condi
tions are not known. This city has not
been in communication with Southern
Florida points for three days. Much
anxiety is felt about Miami. The
wind was still blowing rs miles an

was rising.
Early this morning the sloop Frolic
was dashed to pieces against the sea

no lives were lost.

OUTBREAK NOT FEARED.
Good Will Towards America Prevails
In China.

Victoria, B. &C. W. Webster, a
Spokane retired lawyer, and Mr..
Moorehead, of the Chinese customs,
who arrived by the Ava Maru from
North China, say that there is no deep
anxiety in China with regard to the
prevailing unrest and they are of the
opinion that an outbreak such as was
recently predicted in Washington dis
patches is unlikely.
Mr.. Webster found in Pekin and
other centers the utmost good will of
Chinese officials toward the United
States, and when in Shanghai he at
tended splendid receptions given to the
American business delegation now
touring China. Mr.. Webster travelled
across Siberia and found great armies
of workmen engaged in double-track-
ing the trans-Siberian railroad and ex-
tending the Amur branch, which work
he considers necessary, owing to the
great volume Of business offered in ex-
cess of the facilities.
Mr.. Webster said that he did not
think Russia entertained any desire to
renew war with Japan. Rather it was
evident that both Russia and Japan
had mutually agreed to divide Man
churia, which must sooner or later be
"gobbled up" by those countries.

Key West Suffers Heavily.

Key West, Fla.-The tropical hurri-
cane that has been sweeping over the
West Indies and Southern waters for
FIVE days took Key West in its grip and
tore away the roofs of houses, shook a
number of buildings from their founda-
tions, blew vessels from their moor
ings and did other damage, the extent
of which cannot yet be estimated. But
three lives were reported lost, a ne
gress and two children being drowned.
The first mutterings of the storm were
heard FIVE days ago, when the wind
rose and there was deluge of rain.

Finish Map of Heavens.

Washington-The gigantic work of
making map of the heavens has just
been completed at the naval observa-
tory in this city. 1t was commenced
before the Civil war and many of the
government scientists devoted many
nights to the stupendous task. The
great equatorial volume will show all
the stars visible at different seasons in
the Washington zone. Each star is
given its exact acension and declina-
tion for given year. The annual re-
suits, together with the final positions
for each star of American ephemeris
and for each miscellaneous star OBJ
served and their proper places in the
heavens are designated.

EneIand,s Oldest clock.

J. ]. Hill, F. R A c., and his as
sistants have been engaged for sew
eral months upon repairing the curl
GUS astronomical clock placed above
the Sylke Chantry in the north tran
sept of Exeter cathedral. This quaint
horologe, which stood for many CEN
turies on the north tower, rivals in
antiquity the famous clocks of Wells
cathedral and Wimborne minister. It
may have been made in the reign Of
Edward l. and is certainly not of later
date than Edward II. These primitive
clocks originally possessed neither
pendulum nor minute hand, and were
wound up by long spikes sticking out
Of the wooden barrel, over, which the
rope went that carried the weight
generally a big stone. Lord Grim
thorpe, the designer Of big Ben,"
maintained that in other respects
there is surprisingly little difference
between the oldest of these machines
and most turret clocks of the present
day.--Dundee Advertiser.

aviator, while he was trying out his
new Bleriot monoplsne at Belmont

wrecked the machine beyond repair,
but picked himself out of the dust un-

"Are you hurt?" she stammered.
"Why, no; nobody ever gets hurt

HURRICANE SWEEPS FLORIDA
Sea Rushes Over Walls and Many
Buildings Crumble.

Buildings Crumble.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 19.-Stormi
last night and tonight swept the entire
Florida peninsula, doing damage esti
mated at several million dollars.
Forty thousand square miles of ter
ritory south Of Jacksonville has beer
without communication with the out
side world for more than "a hours.
Last reports told of hurricane winds
and rapidly falling barometers. The
orange crop in that territory and vast
trucking industries probably are
ruined.
Along the Eastern coast many lives
are believed to have been lost and the
property damage is believed to be
great.
The maximum wind velocity, 70
miles an hour, was recorded here at 7
O'Clock tonight, when the center of the
disturbance appeared to have passed
up the Atlantic coast toward Savan-
nah. Maycock, at the mouth of the
St. Johns river, experienced wind of
800 80 miles an hour and half the
houses there have been wrecked. The
population of Mayceck is 700.
There has been no communication
with any point south of Jacksonville,
except St. Augustine, since late today,
and all wires north but one were sew
cred shortly before dark.
A heavy downpour accompanied by
high winds is reported At st.
Augustine houses in the business sec
tion were flooded at low tide with
promise Of immense damage to busi-
ness property when the high tide came
in. The city is in darkness, a gale
still blowing, and at o'clock the seas
were over the sea wall.
Not word has come from Tampa
since A 20 a. M, and the telegraph
companies do not expect to restore
communication before tomorrow. The
damage will be the greatest in the in
terror, where the storm came upon the
people with little warning.

SUE FOR SlO,OOO,OOO
Illinois Central Stockholders Spring
Trap on Directors
Attorney Holding Proxies, Gains Ac.
cess to Meeting and Serves
Subpoenas on All.

Chicago-Stockholders of the Illinois
Central railroad company were giver
a lively half hour at their annual meet
ing through the efforts of Attorne,
Maxwell Edgar.
Holders representing 784. 866 shares
of stock were present. Mr.. Edgar ar
rived, armed with proxies for &C
shares, which enabled him to take part
in the meeting. He was accompanied
by two deputy sheriffs, who added tc
the confusion by serving subpoenas on
the various directors in every luIl in
the meeting.
The subpoenas were in a suit for
$4,000, 900 damages, which Mr.. Ed
gar, constituting himself an attorney
for the road, started in the Circuit
court when he filed a praecipe in the
case. The defendants to the suit are
directors Of the road whom Edgar
seeks to hold responsible for alleged
financial loss through car repair
"graft," " general mismanagement and
alleged rebating.
While the two deputies were making
things interesting in the meeting, half
a dozen others guarded exits from the
Park Row building, Mr.. Edgar fear
ing that some of the directors might
attempt to evade service. This pre-
caution proved super1uous.
Three resolutions were introduced by
the militant attorney. All were lost
by overwhelming votes. He denounced
the present management of the road,
made the charge that its directors are
incompetent and that its financial
statements are juggled, and that its
officials are dishonest and violating the
interstate commerce law.
His first resolution was in support of
these charges and called for an indie
pendent investigation of the board by
a committee of prominent stockhold-
ers. He was voted down. A second
resolution demanded that all directors
who were not residents of Illinois be
ousted on the ground that the constitu-
tion of the state prohibits the present
proportion of outsiders on the board.
This resolution was voted down with
out the formality of a roll call.
On his third and last attempt Mr..
Edgar proposed a resolution asking
that suit be brought against james T.
Harahan, president of the road, and
the estate of the late Ira G. Rawn,
who was vice president before the car
repair scandal came to light, on
charges of gross neglect, criminal lax
ity and culpable negligence. This res
'olution was buried under another avail
anche of contrary votes.
