Storm Abating.

Washington. Oct. 2O.-The Florida
hurricane has modified to an ordinary
storm, according to the Weather
Bureau announcement today, and cy-
clone signals were taken down all along
the Atlantic coast. The storm center
is now off North Carolina, having pass
ed out to sea. The wind is blowing at
the average rate of 60 miles an hour
from Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod. The
gale which was moving eastward yes
terday across Lake Superior also mOdi-
fled today and is now merely strong
west wind. The forecast for Chicago
and all Lake territory is for colder
weather.
| The weather bureau today issued the
following bulletin: THE coast storm
is now central near Hatteras and has
lost considerable energy. The winds
on the middle Atlantic coast will shift
from northeast to northwest, brisk to
high. Warnings from Hatteras TO
Sandy Hook we're changed at 10 n. m.
TO indicate storms.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 20.-Busi-
ness is being resumed today through
out the state, and it is now estimated
that the total damage from the hurri-
cane will not exceed one million dol
lars. The storm expended its greatest
fu y in sections which are not thickly
s, tiled, but heavy damage was done the
orange and grapefruit crops.
No large buildings were destroyed in
st. Augustine or Tampa, but the wind
and hoods forced practically complete
suspension Of business for three days.
Dwellings we're blown away at Ocala
and Orlando reports damage to several
business houses. A message from St.
Petersburg says the fruit crops in that
section were badly damaged.
The Florida East Coast Railroad lost
many trestles and bridges and in some
places the road bed was swept away.
Messages from Pensacola say that no
serious damage ives done in the pan
handle. The weather is improving
throughout the state.

ROYAL ExiIes in England.

London, Oct. 20.-Accompanied by
his mother, Queen Amelie, and his
suite, Manuel, deposed king Of Portu-
gal, is today housed at Wood Norton,
Eversham, Worcestershire, the estat,
Of the duke of Orleans. la the ex-royaI
party are the duke of Orleans, the
Marquis de Several. the Portuguese
minister, and Senior Nillay Urrutia,
the Spanish ambassador.
Manuel and Amelia reached Ports
mouth at Z O'Clock last night on the
English royal yacht Victoria and
Albert, and Immediately embarked for
Wood Norton. There was no saluting
and no public reception. Both Manuel
and his mother were very pale and
worried.
Now that Manuel is safely refuged
in England, people are wondering
what is to become Of the king with
out a job" 1t is the general belief
in court circles that Manual will soon
be on the lookout for rich American
bride.
Manuel's statues in England also
is causing considerable worry. He will
have no official standing, but in his
private capacity he will move in royal
circles and be recognized by other
ROYALTIES as one Of them.

Col. JOHN S. MosBY recently made a
protest in the newspapers against the
number of frauds who pose as Mosby' 5
men," Il don't reckon that of the
three hundred men in my command as
manyas one hundred are still living, "
said Col. Mosby. 81 only know posi-
lively Of about fifteen, and they are
scattered all over the country. But il
| had had as many men as now say
they we're with me | could have driven
Grant out OF Virginia. Every time
they have a reunion there are some
hundred or more who register as Mos
by's men, and they are looked on as
heroes. l bet a-lot OF them have been
born since the war began" Col
Mosby is right. In this city on the oc-
casion Of Confederate reunions, men
have posed as veterans" who during
the war were boys seen daily on the
streets of Alexandria.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. 20

DAVID B. HILL, former u. 5. Senator
from New York died at Woolfert's Roost
at an early hour this morning. The de-
ceased was at one time one OF the most
prominent and successful politicians in
this country. OF late years, however, ne
had been merely spectator OF passing
events. As a fighter Hill had no supe-
rior and .as in the case Of all men OF his
class. enemies were implacable haters
while his friends we're idol worshlppers.
Since he retired from active partlclpa-
ton in political affairs, Hill had been
better understood, and there had been a
DISPOSITION TO give him the place his
talents earned for him. As a lawyer
Hill had few superiors and he received
large fees in many Of the cases he was
called into. Throughout his career the
one ambition of Hill was to be presl-
dent. 1t was that ambition that
brought about the rupture between
him and Cleveland. 1t has been said
by his biographers that Hill was unre-
lenting on his enemies, but true to his
friends, and could always be regarded
as a faithful ally. With all his genius
he had his pecularities. He never
married, and it is said that while
courteous in every way TO the fair sex,
that he never had business with women
if he could avoid it, and that when in
the United States Senate nothing wor-
ried him more than to be called out by
a female.

Veteran Politician Passes away at
wooIfert's Roost at an Early Hour
this Morning.
Albany. n. Y, Oct. 2O.-Ex.-U. s.
Senator David B. Hill, died at his resi-
dence, Woolfert's Roost, at 3:45 this
morning.
For two weeks he had been i'll with
cold and complications. The only
person in attendance at the time OF his
death was the senator's nurse.
David Bennett Hill was the last OF
the old time politicians who made dem
ocratic history in New York state when
that party secured control OF the state
government following the famous stall
wart and halfbreed republican fight
which involved President Chester A.
Arthur and Senator Roscoe Conklln.
He was for years in absolute control OF
the democratic party organization IN
the state and his bitter conflicts with
the Grover Cleveland organization IL
nalIy eliminated in Cleveland abandon
ing New York state as his home.
Born in Havana, n. Y, on August
90, 1S43, young Hill received an
academic education and then moved
to EImira where he studied law. Ad-
mitted to the bar in 1864, he at once
took an interest in politics and that
very same year he was made city
attorney OF Elmira. He was a delegate
to the democratic national convention
of 1877 and from that time until 1900
he was a conspicuous figure at the big
gatherings OF his party.
Hill was elected mayor OF Elmlra
in 1882, and in the fall in 1898 he
was given second place on the state
ticket, headed by Grover Cleveland,
as governor, and Cleveland and Hill
frequently clashed.
Hill served as governor OF New York
from 1888 to 1891 when he was elected
u. S. Senator and served in the latter
position until 1897. Although he
fought Bryan in the convention OF
1896 and retired to his Albany home
during that campaign, saying: ] am
democrat stil-very still, J." he seconded
the nomination of Bryan in 1900.
After the defeat OF Bird s. Coler in
1902, Hill said he was through with
politics. Since that time he has attended
TO his practice OF law and lived a quiet
life at his country home here.

AGAIN ON TERRA FIRMA.

Walter Wellman and his five COM
panions were landed at New York
Yesterday afternoon by the steamship
Trent, which picked them up at sea
after they had abandoned their diri-
gible balloon America, and failed in
the first attempt ever made to cross
the Atlantic drought the air. A
bruised right hand, which Wellman
carried in sling, was the only phys
ical injury that resulted from their
long voyage Of approximately 900
miles, and rescue the like Of which
is unknown to all history.
None Of the aeronants expressed re-
greet for the loss OF the America.
They agreed that it had served its
purpose and taught its lesson. All
stand ready to renew the attempt as
soon as Wellman and the engineers
find way to conquer the difficulties
that brought their first trip to its
thrilling end last Tuesday morning,
400 miles southeast OF Sandy Hook.
Wellman made this statement:
I'VE thought we could rot get along
without the equilibrator. Now We find
we couldn't get along with it. Our,
plans for the future are indefinite
until we find some thing that will do
what we thought the equilibrator would
do. D."
The "equilibrator" to which Well
man attributes the failure OF his voyage
was the series of tanks containing gaso-
line which hoated in the water attached
to the airship by long rope. Its pur-
pose in addition to storing gasoline and
serving as wireless ground" was to
keep the balloon steady compensating
for the expansion and contraction OF
gas due to change in temperature which
would have made the America rise or
sink erratically. The Americas ex-
perience proved that this floating tail,
jerking at the delicately poised airship,
made il impossible 10 steer or make head
way in 5he desired direction and severity
weakened the structure. To find another
means OF compromising for this un-
avoidable change in the volume Of gas
is the problem to which Wellman and
his engineer, Melvin Vaniman, will now
devote their attention.
The direct cause for abandoning the
America was the exhaustion OF the
supply OF gasoline, which had to be
thrown out to save the ship, until when
the crew abandoned the balloon only
enough was left TO last about "a
hours,

Monsignor j. Tonti, papal nuncio
to Lisbon, who was reached by the
Vatican, has been ordered to remain
in Lisbon pending the outcome Of
negotiations now in the tentative
stage.
Notwithstanding the declaration oil
Pope Plus that the Vatican would
never recognize Portugal as republic,
strong feeling has developed among
the republican leaders that it would
be diplomatic to come to friendly
agreement with the church and gain
the support OF its tremendous influence
in the country.
The Curia is anxious that some
Catholic orders remain in Portugal for
several reasons, the chief being It's
effect on the neighboring nation OF
Spain. Statesmen who have followed
the imbroglio between the church and
the Iberian peninsula governments are
convinced that An agreement between
the Vatican and Portugal will mean
the complete separation of church and
state, but that concessions will be made
bY both sides.
