MARSHALL ON COLONEL STONE
Famous "Old Tom," of Allegheny, Comes
Out in a Strong Interview Declaring in
Favor of the Congressman For
the Republican Nomination
For Governor.
Special Hbrald correspondtneo.
Philadelphia, Nov. 39-lo!ItiC8 do not
seem to make a ripple upon the placid
surface of the state of Pennsylvania at
the present time. Bui this apparent
rest should not be taken too seriously.
There is a pfood deal of agitation under
the surface, and It will break loose In
due time. Before this letter reaches the
reader Senator Quay, who has return
ed to Washington from his Florida
retreat, will have plunged once more
into the excitement and worry of polit
ical and legislative life at the national
capital. Senator Penrose has already
gone to Washington, where he has se
cured quarters for the winter. Nearly
all of the members of the Pennsylvania
delegation are getting housed for the
winter and otherwise preparing for a
short, sharp and decisive campaign un
der the big dome of the capltol. It
must be said in all candor that the
state of Pennsylvania never had a bel
ter or more energetic representation at
the capltol than It has at the present
time, and the two BShators and the
congressmen can be depended upon to
get all there is possible to get for the
state pf Pennsylvania, both In the way
of appointments and appropriation?.
The prospects of a new state cap
ltol being built upon the ruins of the
old structure at Harrisburg In time
to be ready for occupancy on tho part
of the legislature In January, 1809, are
excellent. The new Capitol building
commlslon, under a decision of the su
preme court, has decided not to com
pensate the six specially invited archi
tects who submitted plans unless they
can show that their plans conformed
to the prpgram as prepared by the com
mission. These special architects were
to receive J1.000 each.
Architect Henry Ives Cobb, who has
been selected to supervise the con
struction of the new capltol, has pre
sented modified plans and specifica
tions, and submitted them for appro
val. All of them have been approved,
with some slight alterations. Under
the new plan the senate and house will
be situated as In the old capltol, In
stead of the house being In the rear of
the senate, as the original Cobb plan
provided for. The rest of the specifi
cations will be produced at a meet
ing to be held next week, and If approv
ed the contract will be let. It was also
decided to let the entire contract for
excavations, foundation and superstruc
ture to one contractor, and not divide
It up.
Tom Marshall, the famous Independ
ent of Allegheny county, Is the latest
man to declare for Congressman Stone.
He says;
"Yes, I am In favor of the nomina
tion of Colonel W. A. Stone for gov
ernor. He Is our representative In con
gress, and exhibited large ability and
earned distinction In his congressional
career. He possesses all the requisites
for a successful candidate. He Is a sol
dier boy; close and near to the rank
and' file; In touch with the people.
What he Is he has earned In the field.
He entered the nation's service and
passed through the struggle of the
grandest conlllct that the world ever
witnessed. The men of the Bouth
were our brothers In blood and courage
brave, enthusiastic, believing that
they were defending their rights and
homes.
"After the close of the war Mr. Stone
devoted himself tO'the study of law,
came to our county, and was appoint
ed United States attorney for the west
ern district. Afterward he was chosen
our representative In congress to suc
ceed my friend and student. Colonel
Thomas M. Bayne. During his ser
vice In congress ho has been earnest,
active and watchful of the Interests of
the people. There lies his strength. He
Is In touch with the rank and file mo
men who In the field fought and won
our victory for $13 a month, and never
to themselves said: 'We will attain dis
tinction or reputation.'
"In peace he has sought to protect
American labor from the inundation of
foreign paupers, the outflow of tha
effete population of the Old World. Col
onel Stone is a man of energy and ac
tivity; has his eyes open to the do
ings and tendencies of the times, lie
does not owe his position to wealth or
any adventitious circumstances. He
has earned his position by hard, rugged
effort, and is not allied to any special
Interest. He Is one of the people, and
has a kindred touch to the varied in
terests of the many. I will not dilate
further upon his services as a soldier.
"From the disturbed, unsettled state
of the political field In Pennsylvania
the labor Interests and' the working
men should be given a candidate in
harmony with their feelings. That la
where the votes come from. The Re
publican party must be responsive to
the wants ot the mass of the people If
It wishes to guide the destiny of the
nation. It was born of a great moral
Impulse. It had but three principles of
action: Free men, free labor and free
lands. The sooner the party gets back
to this starting place the better for
the people of this nation. The strug
gle about a financial standard is trivial
compared with the vital and great
questions which Ho In the near future,
such fca the freedom .of .labor; ot Indi
vidual effort; the crushing out of all
special privileges for the few at the coat
of the many."
The fight that Is being waged against
the Martin ami Maee machine! in
Philadelphia and Plttelmnc continues,
and the performance, la being watched
with unabated lntereat by the people
of the commonwealth, who can be fool
ed some of the time, but not all the
time, in other worda, mere perfunctory
exhibitions of harmony oh the part of
LSenator Quay or any other leader are
not aumclant to reconcile the voters to
either Air. atartln or Mr. Magee. Sen
ator Quay evidently realises this Im-'
portant truth, and will learn In time
that the Republican party is much
safer without the aid of Uch men than
it is with their help or assistance.

One of the Worst Slormj of Recent
Years on Britain's coast.
BIG LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY
Many Large Vessels and Hundreds of
Smaller Craft Wreoked, With Serious
Damage to Property Ashore at
Many Important Tewns.
London, Nov. SO. The lateat reports
from various points along; the ooaal
show that the gale which swept En
glish waters Saturday and Sunday
night was one of the worst storms ol
recent years.
In many places it was almost cy
clonic in Its violence, and the long list
of disasters Includes a large loss of life,
many wrecks of large vessels and the
loss of scores, If no't hundreds of small
er craft, with serious damage to prop
erty ashore at many Important towns,
In the north the wind was accompanied
by blinding snow and hall that hid the
lights and Immensely Increased the
diflicluties of navigation. Many ships
are known to have foundered, In most
cases, It Is feared, with all on board.
Scarcely a town on the coast has es
caped with more or less Injury, fall
ing walls and flying debris adding to
the loss of life.
There have been rocket and lifeboat
rescues almost without number. Stor
ies of thrilling escapes come from all
points. On the Norfolk coast, between
Bacton and Mapplsburg, five vessels,
as yet unidentified, went down, and
the crews of all perished. A number
of bodies have been washed ashore
near Yarmouth. The British brig Ituby
was wrecked off Hemsby. The coast
guard service made desperate efforts
to save the crew and succeeded In get
ting a line on board. A dying woman
was "rocketed" in safety, and then the
brig capsized, all the rest of the ship's
company perishing.
A largo steam collier dashed upon
Flamborough Head, the famous pro
monotory on the. North sea coast, float
ed off, and then foundered with all
on board. A steamer, not yet identified
was wrecked on Bridlington sands with
her entire company.
Sunday evening the ship Rose of
Devon, Captain Davis, went on the
rocks near Red Ruth, Cornwall, where
she pounded all night long, her crew
of 12 perishing. . The bodies of the cap
tain and five seamen, all wearing life
belts, were washed ashore.
The British filp Larnica, Captain
Burgess, was driven ashore near Fleet
wood, at the entrance of Moretown
bay, about 18 miles northeast of Pres
ton. The crew were saved, but the po
sition of the vessel Is dangerous.
Phenomlnally high tides are reported
In many localities. The district near
the mouth of the Thames has suffered
severely, several townships being partly
submerged. The Sheerness dockyard
and the Woolwich arsenal were inun
dated. At Scarborough, the fashionable
watering place, the seawall was washed
away. At Yarmouth, Lowesteft and
other coast towns of Norfolk the es
planades were flooded.
At Liverpool the squalls blew off the
roofs of several houses, threw down
chimneys and tore up trees. The Mer
sey flooded Its banks on the Chester
side and deluged the shore district for
miles.
Similar disasters occurred at Holy
head, where a number of valuable
yachts were sunk at their moorings.
Scarcely a vestige remains In sight of
the wreck of Lord Nelson's old flag.
Bhip, the Foudroyant, long fast In the
sands oft Black Pool.
The scenes at such popular resorts as
Yarmouth and Margate were of great
grandeur, but the damage done was
enormous. Tremendous seas still In
vade tho gardens of the hotels and resi
dences, wrecking the parades and
buildings, while much debris Is floating
about.
Immense damage has been done to
the government property at the Sheer
ness dockyard and the Woolwich ar
senal. Seven thousand troops were
hurriedly ordered out yesterday to re
move thousands of pounds worth of
ammunition and stores from the sheds
and wharveB to places of safety.
The tide continued to rise and In
vaded almost all the workshops,
quenched the engine llres and stopped
the electric lights. The workmen were
obliged to go home, wading knee deep.
Despite all the precautions, damage to
the amount of many thousand pounds
has been done.
At Sheerness and Queensborough,
two miles away, hundreds of acres have
been submerged, scores of cellars flood
ed and 200 yards of the Sheerness pier
have been swept away.
The boom of distress guns from Good
win SandB has been almost continuous.
Below London bridge all the low lying
houses and cellars are flooded, and all
work Is temporarily suspended along
the Thames, even as high as Charing
Cross. The continual rising of the
river la looked upon &a ominous, though
aa yet no damage has been done above
London bridge.
Six vessels were wrecked between
Yarmouth and Baoton, only a few
miles apart, on the Norfolk coaat, and
28 lives lost. The brig Verda stranded
at Bacton. The storm tore out her
maata, and when the rocket line was
fired the crew waa unable to haul It
In. Filially the Una dragged them into
the aurf and three out of seven were
drowned.
