At some points In New Jersey tbe ocean bad not bwn seen In Kiuh fury for years, and wherever tbe beaches were low, the damage has been enormous. The worm fit predicted soma tme ago in general way, and it Is come fully up to the forecasts. Its force was sjent well out to sea, but the tidal wares which v ashed the New Jerey coa"t, Ixng Island, nd as far north as Newport, tell of A dis turbance of wide extent. The now Morgan line steamer El Mnr ' Completed her first round trip from W Orleans to Now York. The otlicers gave out full story of bow the vessel weathered the tig blow.

Intellig nee from Long B ranch states that this is tbe most severe und damaging storm which Las visited that section of the New Jersey coasA, to tho last years. The surf ran so high that it washed the outer end of the great ocean pier and tossed its fouru and pray 100 feet inland. The bluiT has ugain been badly damaged, und it will cost fully 1170,000 to repair it. The worst cut in the bluff is opposite the site of the old l u.st Knd Hotel north of the Hotel lirighton. The surf Las. eaten half through Ocean avenue and every assault of theungry waves makes the gap bigger. Down in front of the 1'iiited States Hotel there is a cut that extendi into the roadway.

The surf bos twisted several of the iron piles of the Ocean pier out of shape and torn oil tho railing at the sea end. Many of tlje hotel bathing houses have been torn to pieces and the beach pavilions of the cot tagers bave been undermined and swept away. The big fence of Jesse Sclignian, the New York banker, wus blown down, ns were also the ice-houses of the Klheron Ho tel. Many of the cottages v. ill have to build new bulk-heads.

TIIK CltAIKIM AOAIMST TASSf.R. Dr. Ewing, o f the special commission wliich investigated the Tension Otllce, is churg'sl by Tanner's friends with having tho report made eiecially severe upon the Commissioner. His colleagues on the coiu missioiis were dipt. Cuinphell, Law Clerk of tbe Interior Department, and Harrison L. Bruce, of the Board of Appeals. None of tbe parties will disclose the contents of the rejHirt, which bus been submitted piece meal by them to Hen. Bussey. Tho first reiort constituted a general charge tbut the affairs of the Pension Otllce were loosely conducted. They charged that thing1) were done without any system, and tbut the Commissioner signed pupers Indis criminately, without sufficient knowledge of their contents or import. It wns charged that, by tbe Commissioner's lock of system, the business hud become woefully mixed and the divisions disorganized. Subsequent reports were much in the same line, ull of them reflecting upon the Commissioner's business capacity. No in timation of corrupt motives is made any where, and the honesty und sincerity of the Commissioner slund uniunaceed. lue subject of re-ratings formed another chapter in the succession of reports made by the Commission. Commissioner Tanner was reported as authorizing re-rating, carrying large arrearages in many cases without requiring tho evidence formerly regarded as necessary to perfect the claimant's casa. It was charged that the Commissioner's methods were so loose in this regard that tho employes began to re- rate their own pensions with consideracle profit to theiusu.ves. The number of re rutiugs und tbe reported Indiscriminate man ner in which they buve been authorized is the sulmtuntiul feature of ths ehargos brought by the Commission. NO PLACE LIKE AMERICA.- .

On the question of the comparative productiveness of the American and foreign workmen they were a unit in support of the sujeriority of the former. This, they held, was partly be cause the American worked harder and for longer hours und with fewer holidays than tbe foreiuger, but mostly because of the vust superiority of tbe American uiucbinert'. All the purty were agreed thut they hud had a jolly time of it. They bud been welcomed everywhere.
