 Charleston tonight rests tranquil un- der clear skies. The streets are strewn with wreckage and with up- rooted trees. The water front is in many places dismaatled, many wharves being absolutely ruined.
 It is believed that the estimate plac- ing the total property damage at $l,- ,000 is decidedly within the mark, though no man is able to judge as yet with anything like accuracy. No re ports have come in as yet to throw flight on the damage to crops in the region between Charleston and Sa- vannah. and on the sea island cotton industry. It Is feared, however, that the cotton and rice crops have been dealt staggering blow.
 Today Charleston began the process of recovery from the effects of the storm. The street railway system re- sumed operation and the telephone sys- tenn will be restored tomorrow. The city. however, still is plunged in dark ness as the result of the damage to the lighting system Train service again is nearly normal.
 Much suffering has been caused by the floods in the low lying districts of the city and an epidemic of sickness is deared. City officials are doing all in their power to care for the storm vic tims and financial assistance has been Rendered by the local Red Cross so- cieiy.

Six torpedo boats were wrenched from their moorings at the Charleston navy yard and tossed high upon the beach by the 90-mile gale. while many buildings in the yard are believed to be wrecked No estimate of the damage can he made here because of the interrupted telegraphic service. It is not believed any lives were lost at the navy yard i.s The commandant of the navy yard to- day appealed for s2o,0oO as an emergency fund with which to make immediate re- pairs. Though this amount will not by any means cover the loss sustained by the navy Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop late today authorized an ex penditure of sl5,00o for the urgent work.
 The wireless station of the yard is Imperative. a
 From the details obtainabe 1t is gleaned that many of the wharves and sea walls have been almost demolished. The lighting and power wires are on the ground and the trackage of the yard has been blown away.
 The violence of the storm Is indi- cated by it's play with the torpedo boats These were strongly fastened to the stall like wharves of the inner harbor While they are obsolete in design 1t WAS a startling revelation to the navy officers here to learn that tney~had been picked tip by the wind and swept ashore,
