Senate Mr. Voor hces, Saturday, rather apologetically consented to allow tho repeal bill to be temporarily laid aside, so as to accommodate .Mr. Dolph, of Oregon, to mako a speech, in which ho mani fested his hatred of the despised Chinaman, and found fault with tho government for not having rightly enforced tho Geary Chlm-su ex. elusion act.

A ThuI llcnchcil Itontifort Wrecked n Many Toople IJrowncd-Ilcavj Lou a Chnrlrnton, 8. C. Savannah, Go.. Aug. 3L Tho City of Savannah is n wreck on Hunting island, off tho cast coast of South Carolina. The steamer wont ashore thero Sun day night. The City of Itirmlngham arrived at 7 o'clock Wednesday night with the passengers and crow of tha wrecked vessel, Tho ilag of tho City of Savannah hung over her sido. Tho passengers were rescued by a tug from Kenufort and transferred to tho City of Uinnlng ham. Tho City of Savannah is a total loss and lies high and dry on the beach. Capt. Venule, of tho steamer licsslo, arrived from Heaufort, St, Helena nnd Ulufftou hnlf on hour before tho City of Birmingham, says that Heaufort is wrecked and that on tho sea island tho loss of Hfo among tho colored peoplo is very great. Fully half tho popula tion of tho island is drowned. Tho coast is covered with wrecks. Capt. Savngo sent n letter by a boat to Beau fort Monday morning. Collector of Customs Small sent the tug Cecilia to the stranded vessel and took tho pas Eengcrs off tho City of Savannah. That was tho first news received that tho steamer was lost. CiiAiti.nsTox, S. C, Aug. 31. The cy clone is ended; tho city has started to repair tno damages, whuo yet almost shut off from communication with tho outer world. Tho sight presented Tuesday was a familiar ono to peoplo of this city a city almost in ruins, the streets and thoroughfares strewn with debris from tho roofs of stores and dwellings, tho roadways blocked by hundreds of giant trees uprooted from the carth,sidcvalks strewn with crumbling brick and mor tar, courts, alleys and by-paths under water, the magnificent water front, with its costly docks, where tho fleets of a continent could bo berthed, piled with wreckage, many churches unroof ed and almost every residence in tho city more or less damaged. Water and wind had played havoc in the old city by the sea, and had laid waste some of its plcasantcst places. The work of reconstruction began in the small hours of dawn, and while the flerco gale was still howling through the town, threatening almost to an nihilation. Along the by-ways and on tho thoroughfares could be seen the hewers of wood, tho African-American city of Charleston, true to the instinct of his race, armed with big and little hatchets, clearing away the debris with a provident eye for extra firewood. A few minutes later away up King street, a battalion of stalwart workmen, armed with axes, saws, picks and spades, commenced working their way down the streets, followed close in the rear by one of the familiar but indis pensable bob-tails of the street railway on its march from Line street to the battery. As they progressed southward, almost in the teeth of the gale, a hedga of pvergreen arose on each side of the roadway and the street car. The first step toward a return from chaos to civilization is once more in evidence. A rough estimate places the losses at something over $1,000,000. There are no lights in the city, both gas and electricity have given out, nnd there lias been no railroad communication south of us. The total loss of life is six people. Augusta, Ga., Aug. SI. News re ceived Wednesday night brings tho startling intelligence that seventy dead and swollen bodies were taken from the Coosa river Wednesday by search ing parties.

The rcsitlt of Wednesday's work of tho relief party puts the number of missintr at over a hundred, but owlnp- w , .. CT . to noor means of commiiTiipn.i,inrt pnr- I rect lists of tho dead can not bo ob tained. In several places along tho Coosa river were found eight or ten bodies lying on the bank close together. THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION. Its SiTloumu-bB Now Fully Acknowledged .Several Senators Knew of the Sec-rut of the Surgical Operation. Washington, Aug. 81. Tho nc knowldegment by Dr. Hnsbrook that an operation had been performed upon President Cleveland has caused almost a sensation here, and little else savo tho condition of President Cleveland's health was talked about Wednesday. Now, that the veil of secrecy has been removed several of the president's most intimate friends in the senato ac knowledged Wednesday morning that when tho president was here when congress assembled he told them that an operation had been performed, but that it had been successful and tho doc tors had given him every encourage ment as to tho final result. Hut when they all state that Mr. Cleveland tried to appear satibfled and hopeful he was really far from feeling so. Ho continually referred to his condi tion, and spoke of his illness in a man ner that plainly showed it, and It alone was tho all-absorbing bubject on his mind. Coupled with this was tho anx iety and worry caused by thu inability or reluctance of the physicians to diag nose or explain to his satisfaction his case. Ho beemed to feel that tho doc tors were keeping something from lilm, and this terrible suspense of uncer tainty was his chief mental trouble. Lake Vessels Wrecked. BociiKbTKit, N.

Wapiuxoton, Sept. 1. An ordor will probably bo issued in tho pension ofilco l'Vldny, by authority of Secretary Hoke Smith, which will bo a eomploto re versal of the policy of this administra tion as to pensions. Tho order will direct the cessation of wholesale sus pensions of pensions granted undor tho net of Juno 37, 1800, and limit, suspen sions hereafter to cases in which proof is offered that tha pension has been im properly granted. This will bo a decided rotrcat on the part of Iloko Smith from his previous conduct in suspending dependent pen sioners by thousands and throwing upon them tho burden of proof to re main on tho rolls. This retreat is probably hastened by the meeting of tho G. A. H. in Indianapolis next week, and by the announcement that Col. 0. P. Lincoln, formerly deputy com missioner of pensions, would bring a suit to test tho legality of Secretary Smith's policy. FOURTEEN KILLED. A l'lisnrnRrr Train on tho Boston nnd Albany Hand Goes Through a llrlilgc. SrittNGKir.LD, Mass., Sept. 1.

The buffet, two sleepers and a dining car were smashed to kindling when thoy struck the stream, twenty feet be low, but two day coaches and a smoker in the rear did not leave tho trade There had been thirteen dead bodies taken out at 0 o'clock and twelve of them had been identified. It is be lieved that thcro aro two more bodies in the ruins. Miss Emma Dclarty, of Columbus, O., is among the dead. Tho train was seven minutes late at Chester, and the railroad hands say it was going at tho rate of twenty miles an hour when it struck tho first of tho two spans across the Westfleld river. Tho locomotive seemed to leap across the bridge as tho trusses collapsed and fell over to the south. Tho conductor was taking tickets in a day coach, and, although thrown violently down, es caped serious injury. Tho dead wore many of them horri bly mutilated, heads crushed in, limbs torn, and often only recognizable from the clothing.

Secretary Carlisle carried with hint to iho white house nnd laid before tho iicctlng the monthly statement of tho ccclpts and expenditures of tho gov-u-nment for tho last month (August), ind also tho statomont for tho two nonthsof the present fiscal year. Tho statement as presented to tho ablnct Friday morning by Secretary Sarlislo shows that tho receipts of itistoms for tho two months of tho present fiscal year havo been but $27,-!8i,7l)0.-l8; from internal revenue, $25, S74.1!10.:i7. Added to theso aro the mis lellnncotts receipts amounting to $'!, 100,000 more, which brings tho total of receipts for the last two mouths to but (55, SOS, 020. , These figures aro startling enough in thcmsolves, because tho expenditures run way up into tho sixty million points, but when compared with tho receipts of the samo two months of last pear tho figures for Secretary Carlisle's statement to tho cabinet toll this tale as follows: Custom receipts, July and August, 1S02, $35,470,821.55; July nnd August, lfe93, $27,21i-!,700.-lS; falling off during 1M3, $8,242,025.07; internal rev enue receipts, July nnd August, 1802, f2S,020,57S.13; July nnd August, 1803, f-25,674, 130.37; falling off during 1893, f3,355,447.70.

THE YELLOW METAL. Millions of Dollars in Gold Coming Through Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Sept. 2.

It MrlkfH n Telephone Tolo nnd U Cat In Tiro-One I'orson Killed, Throo Fa tally Injured and Twenty-Seven Others More or Lcm Hurt. Cincinnati, Sept 4. A car bocama tinman ngcablo at McGregor avenue Sunday afternoon, nnd after a wild flight of over n mllo jumped tho trncle at Broadway, crashed Into n telegraph pole, nnd ono passenger was klltod, threo fatnlly Injured, and twenty-six others more or loss seriously hurt Tho accident occurred on tho Avondala electric line. Three minutes of mortal terror, whirling along through clouds of dust, In a runaway ear at a spocd that, at tho finish, is described as close to ono hun ored miles an hour, is an oxporienca that will never bo effaced from the memory of thoso who passod through Its horrors and will llvo to toll tho tale. For more than a mllo tho runaway car, itself weighing soveral tons, with its load of precious freight shot with a velocity seldom attained in tho most expeditious railway traveling, and tho wonder of all was that tho flying monster kept tho rails bb long as it did. Down tho stoop grade tho terrlblo specter shot past wide-eyed nnd opon mouthed pedestrians, and along- tho level grades It coasted, and then, a quarter of n mile from the finish, took tho plunge that could end only in death and destruction. It struck tho sharp curves in tho road with jolts that huddled tho passengers I ogcther in heaps, and oven despite tho efforts of tho cool-headed crew, who tried to throw it from tho rails, it held to them with a pertinacity that surely was predetermined by fate. On, on it went for nbout a milo, when a steep declivity was reached, and tho plunge down this meant death, for just at the bottom tho street ends abrubtly, and a line of houses tall, brlok struc tures loomed up in front Into this the unmanageable car must plunge, and the consequences must be horrible to eontemplnto. And so it hap pened; only a friendly telcphono pole roared its protecting hulk between the unfortunates nnd what beemed an awful fate. But even this escnpo was not for all. The ponderous mass, moving at a frightful velocity, struck the pole, which, standing up right, sliced tho car in two as with a knife, for a distance of eight feot And it was only when the solid iron work ol the motor struck it that tho polo was broken off at the base and came tum bling down with its thick network of wires, to add additional horrors to tho disaster. But even this obstruction did not stay tho forward motion of tho car, for, carrying tho fragments of the huge spar with it, it struck the sup porting pillar of the doorway of a brick house on the corner, and, al though this pillar was of stone, twenty by twenty inches in thickness, it wasi torn from, its place and shivered to pieces. So great was tho shock to the build ing that with the corner support taken from under it, it was thought that tho structure, a five-story tenemcnt house, would collapse. This, however, was prevented by bracing it np with heavy wooden beams, two on either side, un til the btone pillar can be replaced. The car itself was literally smashed to atoms, that lay for hundreds ,of feet in every direction, to be trnmpled by tho crowd that gathered, as if by magic, around tho scene of the disaster. But tho occupants of tho car, they who took that terribjc ride, what of them? Twenty were borne away to the hos pital in, the swift and every ready patrol wagons, and one poor thing, a little girl, with a pretty face and long, dark hair, now matted with blood, was lifted tenderly to the stretchers and carried to the morgue. She was dead when taken from the wreck, and for several hours was unidentified. Of the others, several aro so badly hurt that they can not recover, while others, although thoy may regain health and strength, will carry the marks of their injuries to their dying day. Mamie Nerln, aged 18 years was killed, and Louisa Earhart, aged 03, Mrs. Bcckley and -Nora Mahoney were fatally hurt. THE "DEAD. The Number Who PerUhed In the Great Gale Will Probably Number 1,500.
