“Tires Down and Communication Cut
Off—Timely “‘arnings From the
Weather Bureau Enable People to
be Prepared.
New YORK, Oct. 14. ——The city was ‘vis—
ited early this morning by a. severe rain
and wind storm. It set in in earnest at
about 10 o’clock last night and the velocity
of the wind and the downpour of the rain
were so great that but few people Were to
be seen in the streets. Umbrellas were
practically useless. In the uptown dis-
ric‘s, particularly in the vicinity of the
parks or squares, the rain and wind drove
everything before them. The streets were
almost wholly deserted and theatre goers
greatly inconvenienced. As the weather
bureau it was stated the wind at 11:30
o’clock was blowing at the rate of 46 miles
an hour. The storm will continue all day.
Rain is falling all along the coast and in
the lake region. Both telegraph and tele~
phone wires were prostrated in all direc-
tions, and communication with many
points was cut off for a time.
New Jersey.
SOMERVILLE, N. J., Oct. i4.—A fright-
ful gale of wind and rain is howling
through this portion of New Jersey and
much damage is being done. Trees have
been uprooted, fences and outbuildings
blown down and larger buildings unroofed.
All trains coming from the west are from
two to four hours late. It is reported that
a freight brakeman was blown from the
10p of a car on the Central railroad of New
J case}; near Junction. A farmhouse back
of North Branch was blown over. At
Lai‘nington the church steeple was blown
down for the second time within a. year.
Charleston Saved,
CHARLESTON, S. C., Oct. 14 ——The
prediction of the worth-er bureau officials
that while the storm was apt to pass close
to Charleston it .would do no material
damage has come true for there are no
casualties to report. The East Shore ter-
minal railroad remembering their losses
by the August. cyclone just before the
storm set in anchored all their bridges and
wharves with carioads of granite and con-
sequently not a pier on the eastern water
front is damaged.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—-At a conference
between Gen. Horace Porter and the mayor

and will remain until after the close of
Manhattan ceremonies. The various

Speech on Silver.
No Immediate Prospect of Reaching
a Vote—Sessions Drag Along the
Same as Before the Introduction of
the Test of Endurance.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l4.—-It might have
been expected that after a continuous ses-
sign of 59 hours, closing at 2 o’clock yes-
terday morning, and after the partial fail-
ure of the test 'of physical endurance on
the silver purchase repeal bill, thdt meas-
ure would be allowed to go over until next
Monday, and that the senate would have
adjourned until then. Such was not the
case, however. The senate met at the
usual hour yesterday, took up the bill
promptly and submitted, wasried, but
patient, to the second installment of Mr.
Stewart’s" speech.
several more senators present than there
had been for some weeks post. The first
roll call showed the presence of 54 senators,
the second of 51 and the third of 52. The
fifth call Showed the presence of 57.
Mr. Stewart announced his purpose not
to vote for any bill that would limit the
life of silver; and he was still talking- at
calls. There was, indeed, one longer break
in his speech while Senators Teller and
Hour had an excited discussion over the
rights of minorities. .
London Press Comments.
LONDON, Oct. 14.—The Daily News,_com-
menting on the continuous session of the
United States senate on the silver repeal
bill, says: “No such Sitting ever occurred
in the British parliament. Suchattempts
ofa. minority to deny the rlght of the
majority to govern are doomed to failure.”
The Standard says: “Remembering the
all-night sittings forced on the house of
commons by the Irish members it is in no
spirit of insular pride that we congratu-
late ourselves upon our immunity from
the extremity of feebleness which the
momentary victory of the Silverites has
shown to exist in the regulations of
the United States senate. There was no
redeeming feature in this shameless ap-
peal to phvsicai endurance.”
FRANCE. AND RUSSIA.
Courtesies Cemcnting the
Two Countries.
TOULON, Oct. 14.—-After Admiral Ave—
lan’s visit to the town hall the mayor and
other municipal officials paid a formal
return visit to the Russian flagship. Ad-
miral Rieunier’s official banquet to the
Russian officers was given in the grand
saloon of' the prefecture and was a bril-
liant affair. Fetes in honor of the Rus-
sian visit to Toulon were held in many
towns in France. Decorations and illu-
minations were general. Hundreds of
telegrams of welcome from municipal
councillors and military and naval officers
were sent to Admiral Avelau. All of the
leading Russian and French newspapers
contain articles dwelling upon the signifi-
cance of the event—the cementing of the
two countries.

LONDON, Oct. 14.—-A Glasgow journal
yesterday cabled to George L. Watson, de-
signer of the Valkyrie, to ascertain whether
dispatches from New York were correct in

this reply: All that I admit is that the
particular centreboard Vigilant has beaten
the particular keel boat Valkyrie.

BUSINESS IPEPRUVING.
What Bradstreet Says 01’ the State of
Trade.
NEW Tons, Oct. 14.—Bradstrect says:
Continued cheerful advices from anum-
ber of leading southern trade centers, re-
ports of a very large distribution at Chi-
cago as the outcome of the immense
World’s fair attendance, and an improved
demand at Several points West of the Mis-
sissippi as a result of cooler weather, are
among the most favorable features re-
vealed by telegrams to Brudstreet’s this
week. Large sales mtl better prices for
cotton have encouraged country buying at
the south, and business at New Orleans,
Dallas, Memphis, Atlanta, Richmond and
Mobile has improved. The new Louisi-
ana sugar crop will be large. Rice is ac-
tive and higher. At most other southern
centers where trade has not yet improved
delayed collect-ions and tight money are
complained of. Railroads entering Chi-
cago did the largest pass-:11 gsr business in
their history this week. Freight traffic
was neglected. The jobbing and retail
trade l‘as been the largest so far this sea-
son in all lines. In New England trade
does not improve. A hand-to-mo‘uth de-
mand continues. .The number of idle
manufactories in Rhode Island has been
augumented by a strike of 6,000 woolen
mill operatives against a reduction. Trade
at most of the large easier-u cities is not
above fair. Textile trades generally are
quiet. Iron is weak and lower for struc-
tural sorts. At Pittsburg mills are run-
ning only on part time. The coal trade
has improved at Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. Prices are irregular. Breadstuffs
have tended downward, while provisions,
cotton and raw sugar have advanced.
There were 406 failures in the United
States, againstBBb last week, and 101 in
this week last year, 193 in 1891, 177 in
1890 and 205 in 1889. The financial situ-
ation in New York has tended to improve
on the increasing supply of “funds, the in-
quiry for commercial paper (especially
from outside institutions)‘ being much
better than heretofore, and witha corres-
pondinginflucncenn rates.

. Stewart Resumes His Long
FAST: .YOUNG INDIA.
He Loves English Society Because cl' tho
" ' >_ Loaves and Flohos.’
'- " The Hindoo of Calcutta does not rep-
resent an ancient tradition, for he is
but a thing of yesterday, called into
being by the foreigner, and he repre-
sents an altogether novel phase of
thought, which is gradually making it-
self felt, and is the chief characteristic
of What has been dubbed Young India.
Young India is the more or l'ess Eu-
ropeanized Hindoo, Says Harper’s
Weekly. The supple mind of the
Bengalese could not long remain -im-.
pervious to the influence of daily con-
tact with the Europeancast of thought,
and all Hindoos are more or less af-
fected by that contact. A European
education, the study of the classics and
of contemporaneous literature, ,Of an-
cient and modern history and-of the
natural sciences, could not fail to have
results on every stratum of society,
and culture has filtered down from the
university to every class, awakingas-
pirations and ambitions previously un-
known.
A- new society has Sprung up, of
what may be termed Anglicizcd In-
dians, which society, 8.133! is not al-_
ways recruited from the elite _.of the‘
native population; the higher castes,
who cling to their traditions and re-
tain their pride of race, are generally
faithful to the culture of the past. The
masses who make up Young ‘India. are
not attached to European civilization
by any sense of its superiority or by
intellectual curiosity, but in search
of remunerative appointments. To get
one of the inferior situations under the
government which are'open to‘uative
baboos it is necessary to be able to
speak and write English, and: everyone
anxious to secure thirty rupees a. month
in some oflicc rushes'to the universities
and public schools.
Three hundred candidates for a place .
worth some three pounds ten a’ month!
And what becomes of the two hun-
dred and ninety—nine who fail andfican
no longer live the simple natural life,
, of their forefathers? They, must die of
9hunger or swell the ranks of poll.-
ticians, and they choose the latter al-
ternative. Proud of the superficial
knowledge they have acquired and
primédwith European catchwords, the
meaningof which have long since faded
away, they form a. huge unelassed
mass uncommonly like the lovver
middle classoszof Europe—as noisy, as
unreasonable, as narrow-minded, and,
in some’ rare instances, as"diSinterest~
ed as those witlrwhom we are all fa.-
miliar, with the difference- that the
formulas they are So‘ proud of are. bor-
rowed from the traditions of an exotic
civilization, and that for them there is,
a. wider gulf than ete'r between the
letter and the spirit. ‘What they aim
at is, in truth, neither national i-‘nde-
pendence nor local automOny "under
the English, protectorate; it 1 is simply
access to the higher administrative
functions and political domination
over other castes, with the English
army at their backs. ’ '
NEWSPAPERS VAPPRECIATED.
A New Hampshire Man Who Believes in
tho Periodical for the Library.
There is a. man in New Hampshire
named William C. Todd, who holds to
the theory that he is benefiting his fel-
low creatures when he puts abundant
supplies of newspapers within their
reach. He lately provided for aplexp‘end-
iture of two thousanddollarsayear for
newspapers for the Boston public li-
brary, says Harper’s Weekly, and it
has since been discovered that he re--
cently made a similar provision for the
public library of Ne’wburyport. He
belives in the value of newspapers,
and yet it seems that he is not a pat
ent-medicine, man as one might sup.
pose, but a retired schoolmaster, who
pursues a life of studious retirement
in a village. In extenuation Of his ac-
tion he declaresthat the press has be-
come the“ great agency by which in-'
formation is diflused and the people
are educated, and that free reading-
rooms are likely to be more in demand
in the future than free libraries. alt is-in-
teresting to notice that he seems not to
have suffered from the newspaper pub-
licity‘about which there is so much come
plaint, and that even his neighbors in
Atkinson, where he lives, were found
to possess scarcely any reliable infor-
mation about his past career or the
size of his fortune. They knew him
to be frugal in his personal habits and
generous in his benefactions, but that
was all.
