The fierce torm which for several days has been Taging along the North Atlantic coast has seriously interfered with shipping, and Sunday only four ot the ocean liners, all of which have been greatly delayed, succeeded in making port. 'Ihe lour steamships which arrived all re port hurricanes and mountainous seas. The Monterey, of the Ward Line, and the Jefferson, of the Old Dominion Line, came in from the South. The latter craft was terribly battered by the storm, and when boarded by a high wave on Saturday Richard Mc Lane, the lookout, was scriou-ly in jured, and by the heavy rolling of the Jefferson, in an effort to free herself of the deluge that suddenly fell on her forecastle, the Rev. E. B. Haw ley, a clergyman, of Lake View. X. C, one of the passengers, was thrown aeros, the cabin and instantly killed. 1 1 i body was brought to port. McLane was taken to the New York IIoital. The sound steamboat City of Wor cester, of the Norwich Line, which was supposed to have run on the rocks near Execution Light late Saturday night, simply anchored, because a metal ' in connected with the walking beam lad broken. While at anchor tempor-. ary repairs were made and the City oi Worcester, under her own steam, made 3icr way to her dock in North river. Captain Rowland attempted to trans fer his 175 passengers to the New Hampshire, of the Stonington Line, which came up a short time alter the accident, but as the waves were too high, the idea was abandoned. Over J50 of the passengers were sent to New London by train, and those that stood by the broken-down boat proceeded on her to their de-tir.ation. The City of Augusta, of the Savan friah Line, which proceeded to sea, was sighted in the morning returning to Sandy Hook. She was running away from the storm, but. after remaining in port a couple of hours. Captatin, Burg again started on his course for Newport News and Norfolk. WAtMviTKM A WEEK. Many Alarming Reports to a London News paper. London (By Cable). The corre spondent of the Morning Post at Chc Fu, China, cabling, says: "It is stated that the Japanese have decided to declare hostilities on the ex piration of their ultimatum to Russia. The Russian fleet has cleared from Port Arthur. It is reported that the Japa nese are landing troops at Masanpho, Korea. "There arc strong indications that Germany favors hostilities on the ground that it would enable her to ex tend her sphere of influence in China. "A number of field guns were em barked at Port Arthur for an unknown destination. AH the available t'orce of workmen is employed on the fortifica tions. "The cholera and the plague have broken out among the Russians at Niucliwang." Another dispatch to the Morning Tost from Che Fu says: "Hostilities arc still believed to be imminent. It is asserted that the Rus sians have fixed Friday next for their commencement. There is an exodus of Chinese merchants from the Yalu Val ley. They are arriving in Chefu." The Daily Mail correspondent ot Shanghai cables: "Carciul inquiries show that the only Japanese troops at Massanpho arc on the small territory conceded to Ja pan in connection with the railway building and their presence is there fore in accordance with treaty rights." Si ill 0 Saving Mope. Berlin (By Cable). Russia and Ja pan act as if cither would fight if the other should hold immovably to the position taken up in the last exchange of communications. This is the actual situation as understood officially from reports received from the German Em bassy in St. Petersburg and the lega tion at Tokio. Yet this mutual attitude with hostile preparations by b .lh countries is still regarded here as not excluding an hon orable arrangement. Neither Govern ment has gone so far that it must fight or be humiliated, but either by a single step can put ihe other in that posi tion. This delicate balance may, of course, be violently disturbed any day, though nt ultimatum lias yet been thrown on cither scale. It is believed here officially that war, should it occur, would be between Rus sia and Japan alone and that neither England nor France would be involved. Frederick the Great's remark is iuot- ed as illustrating the present posture of affairs: "Negotiations without wea pons behind you arc like a musical tone -without instruments.

Copialn Denton and (he Llle-Saving Crew As s'st the People to a Rescue Trala Enor mous Losses By (be Storm and Floods In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Other Sections ol the Country. Many lives lost, vessels wrecked, railroads tied up, telegraph lines crip pled, cities and towns flooded, hundreds of people driven front their homes, thousands thrown temporarily out of employment by the flooding of mills and other industrial plants, and proper ty losses running up into the millions make up the record of disaster and de struction caused by the storm along the coast from Cape Henry to New England and through portions of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York States. Ocean City, Md., was in great peril of being almost completely washed away. Congress Hall and other hotels and cottages were partly washed away. Every hotel and cottage on the beach front was damaged. The women and children were placed in passenger coaches and the latter pushed across the bridge by the life-saving crew. The property losses are very heavy. Cap tain Dunton and the life-saving men remained at the posts, but nearly every body else left the place to the mercy of the tremendous seas. Nearly all the rivers and creeks in New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl vania have overflowed into the towns and country adjacent. All day and at night a terrific north cast gale swept the Jersey coast. The tremendous seas swept over portions of the Boardwalk at Atlantic City and flooded parts of the island. A portion of Young's Pier was carried away. The basements of a number of the line ho tels were flooded. The inlet section of the i-land is a wreck. At Cape May and other resorts in South Jersey there was considerable damage The high tides and enormous breakers played havoc at other resorts along the Jersey coast. The losses to the railroads by wash outs and the destruction of bridges will be enormous. On account of the flood at Trenton, N. J., the train ser vice on the Pennsylvania between Phil adelphia and New York was abandoned from midnight until next afternoon. The extent of the damage along the Virginia coast is not yet known. The velocity oi the wind at Cape Henry was over 70 miles an hour. The steam ship Essex, which arrived at Norfolk from Providence, R. I., reported a ter rible experience. All coast wires between Cape Henry and Hatteras arc down, ami the ex tent ot the damage to shipping cannot be learned. Two four-masted coal barges went ashore at Virginia Beach. At the Delaware Breakwater the waves broke over the stone pile and the telegraph service was blocked. Rehoboth, the Delaware ocean resort, has been badly damaged, one-half of the Boardwalk having gone and many bath houses demolished. The KehoWli life saving crew had to desert their quar ters, and the Indian River station, near Rehoboth, was washed away. Several buildings were partially wrecked. MAY WITHDRAW MILLIONS. Labor Threatens Retaliation for Anti-Boycott Suits. Chicago (Special). "Organized cap ital, through its anti-boycott and em ployers' associations, must stop its raid on the savings of trades unions or the union men will withdraw 300,000,000 from the banks." Such was 'the statement matc by Thomas I. Kidd, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, after an investigation of the damage suits which the American Anti-Boycott As sociation and Employers' Association have filed against trades unions within the last 3 months. Mr. Kidd intimated that it was within the power of union labor to throw the country into a finan cial panic by taking from circulation the $300,000,000 which he says labor controls.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. Chinese Treaty Signed. Secretary of State John Hay receiv ed information that the commercial treaty between the United States and China was signed at Shanghai by Shcng Kun Pao, Lu Kai II nan for China, and United States Minister E. II. Conger, Consul-Gcncral Goodnow and Mr. Sea man, for the United States. The sign ing of this treaty is considered a great diplomatic victory for the United S:.-,tcs. The principal concession made by China under the terms of this pact is the opening to foreign trade of the province of Manchuria, which has hith erto been closed to the commerce of the world. Although Russia for many weeks attempted to stand in the way of this country in its efforts to obtain open ports in Manchuria, she finally was forced to give way to the insistent demands of the State Department. It is held at the State Department that no matter whether Russia evacuates Manchuria or not, this Manchurian trade will be open to the United States and the other powers of the world. In view of the great importance of the treaty signed nt Shanghai a high official ol tile Government, who is not, however, connected with the State De partment, made the following state ment regarding it: "The principal points of treaty are briefly as folTows: "First Settlement of the long-vexed question of internal taxation in China. "Second Recognition of America's right oi residence throughout the Em pire for missionary work. "Third Protection of patents, trade marks and copyrights. "Fourth Mining rights, "Fifth Opening of new localities to international trade in a part of the Em pire in which we have vast commercial interests. "Sixth Right to carry on trade, in dustries and manufacturers in all open ports of China. "The negotiations between China and the United States, which culminated in the signing of the treaty, were initiated under the provisions of Article XI of the final protocol signed by the pow ers at Peking on September 7, 1001, terminating the anti-i'oreign outbreak of the preceding year. The present treaty has for its object to extend the commercial relations between the con tracting powers by amending our ex isting treaty oi commerce and naviga tion with China and other subjects con cerning commercial relations, with the object of facilitating them. Tt.o Bureaus Nam:d Alike. The Bureau of Navigation of the De partment f Commerce and Labor is troubled with its name. Its mail goes to the Navy Department bureau of the same name, and vice versa, and there has been for a long time a great deal of annoyance caused by the similarity of name with such dissimilarity of work. The Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department has charge of the assign ment c f officers and vessels of the navy to their various stations, while the Bu reau of Navigation of the Department of Commerce and Labor has jurisdiction over the merchant shipping of the coun try, sees that the laws of the United Slates relating thereto arc obeyed and attends to all the government business connected with the merchant marine. In time of exigency the annoyance has been intensified, notoriously so during the Spanish War, when the merchant bureau received '.he cables intended for the navy bureau. So accustomed have the members of the two bureaus become to this misdirection of mail that they have had printed envelopes in which to inclose mail delivered incorrectly at either bureau, and this is no small quan tity daily. Because of this it is thought that Congress will le petitioned to change the name. of the Bureau of Navi gation of the Department of Commerce and Labor to something like "the bureau of merchant shipping," and thus end the annoyance that has been of such long standing. Trade With Canada Orows. A bulletin of the Consular Bureau of the Department of Commerce and La Inir shows that a large increase of trade between Canada and the United States has resulted from the preferential tariff of i8)7- In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1807, Canada's imports for consumption from this country, including bullion and specie, amounted to $61,640,041 ; in the fiscal year ended June 30, 190.1, they amounted to $i.",6o;,iQ5, an increase in six years of about 125 per cent. The Canadian imports from the United Kingdom for the same two years, respectively, were $29,412,1018 and $65,007,080 Fortifications for Hawaii. A board of army officers has been se lected to visit Hawaii and report to the War Department what is necessary in the way of fortifications for the islands. Colonel Mackenzie, engineer officer, represents the general staff on the board. In the Departments, President Roosevelt received the Hon" orable Artillery Company ( London and the Ancient and Honorable Artil lery Company of Boston after having inspected the British visitors oil the White House Lawn Assistant Attorney-General Robb having advised Postmaster General Payne that investigation had revealed nothing involving Assistant Attorney General Christiancy in the postal scan dal, Mr. Christiancy's resignation was accepted. II. A. Castle, auditor for the Pos; oflice Department, has resigned. City Attorney Folk, ol St. Louis, Mo., had a talk with President Roose velt and Secreaary Hay with reference to securing amendments to the extra dition treaty with Canada, so that boodlers may not find a refuge there. Professor Langley says the accident to the aerodome at Widcwater was due to a defect in the launching ways, and that the machinery of the arcdome was working perfectly.. President Roosevelt decided to issue his proclamation on October 20 call ing Congress into extra session. The War Department has appointed a board to investigate the claim of the Davidson Chemical Company, ol Bal timore, for alleged damage to their pronerty. The daughter of Lieutenant General Young was married to Capt. J. R. R. Hannay. Captain George E. French, Sixteenth Infantry, was sentenced by court-martial to dismissal for conduct unbe coming an officer and a gentleman. The Uruguayan gunboat General Rivera has been sunk at Santa Barbara as the result of an explosion, and her commander and many of her crew killed. WILLING TO ABOLISH WAR Great Britain and France Agree on Ar bitration Treaty. SIMILAR TO HAY-PAUNCEFOTE PACT. The Treaty Is Mainly Significant In Being the Culmination of the Rapproacbment Be tween France qnd Qreat Britain After Cen turies ol Warfare and the Maintenance of Dcfenslvf Armaments. - Paris (By Cable). It was learned in authoritative quarters here that the terms of the general treaty of arbitra tion between France and Great Britain have been concluded between F6rcign Minister Dclcassc and the authorities in London. All the substantial features of the treaty have been settled. The formali ties arc so far advanced that the treaty is considered to be an accomplished fact. The treaty follows the general lines of the Hay-Paunecfotearbitrationtrcaty which to a considerable extent served as a model. It is pointed out that the Hay-Pauncei'ote treaty, although reject ed by the United States, now serves the useful purpose of giving a basis for this important Anglo-French treaty. The officials also view the negotiations as evidence of the sympathetic attitude of the United Stats, France and Great Britain on the practical adoption of the theory of arbitration. The treaty is mainly significant in be ing the culmination of the rapproche ment between France and Great Britain after centuries of warfare, the main tenance of defensive armaments and the recent animosities growing out of the Fashoda incident and the South African war. It is also significant of the ten dency toward a rearrangement of the European political alliances. The treaty is mainly the outcome of the exchange of visits between King Edward and President Loubct and the visit of Baron d'Estournclles de Con stant and the French Parliamentarians to London. French feeling heretofore has been rather sceptical over the practical reali zation of the treaty, and when its ad vanced stage is known it will occasion widespread attention and discussion in France and throughout the rest of Europe. TRAIN PLU.N0"D DOWN BANK. Engineer and Fireman Crushed by Locomo tiveCaused By Landslide. Oil City, Pa. (Special). A landslide on the Buffalo and Allegheny division of the Pennsylvania Railroad caused the" deatli of one man and fatal injury of another. W. D.
