New York. Oct. 13. A veritable hur- 1rane swept over this section of the country . Sunday and yesterday. The ; wind blew With terrific force, reaching at Sandy Hcka velocity of seventy-five mnes an hour Sunday night. me tides rose to a height many feet greater than has been seen for years, and the waves all along the Atlantic coast wept In with a force that carried ev erything Ix-fore them and did damage to the amount of many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sandy Hook and points r-.Ionir the Jersey coast felt the fury of the storm most of all. but Coney Island experienced, so far as has yet bc-n learned, the most direful results. The leaohes were swept clean. pavilions were overturned and carried seaward, bathing houses and board , walks everything not far inland on the famouH inland was torn up and i piled hisrh lx-yond the coast line, or carried out to sea. Brighton Bf-srh and Far Rnckawar- At Brighton Beach the stone walks in front of the big hotel were under water, and towards the end of yesterday aft ernoon the famous Seidl concert hall was inundated and partly carried awayi The' well-kept lawns In front of the Oriental hotel and Manhattan lieaoh hotel were laid waste, and the lower portions of the hotels flooded. Innumerable small buildings were sim ply picked up bodily and carried away by wind or waves. At Far Rockaway the fury of the gale was indescribable. Those houses which were built on piles in sand were washed away, and those higher up, which for years have been out of reach of the highest tides, were flooded. Along the Jersey coast most of the damages done was to piers and breakwaters. Preparations had been made, as forewarnings of the storm had leen given some days before. As yet very little damage to shipping pns neen reported, for on account of warnings many crafts delayed sail ing and others that had cleared re turned for a safe anchorage. Some Other Havoc retailed. Hog Island during the afternoon add ed another big section to that portion which hud previously gone to sea and another such storm would wipe it and several other udjoiiiing districts out of CNisti'iice altogether. The fery I'oUHe, dock, board walk and pavilion of the Far I'.ockaway Improvement company were totally wrecked. The Casino, the I'nlted States hotel, the Tackapausha House and the Dolphin hotel were amog those buildings which had at least two feet of water on their ground floors. At Wave Crest the damage will amount .to about $50,000. Nearly all the improvements made by the Lancaster Improvement company near this place within two years are washed away, piled up In massas or burled In tons of sand. A great deal of damage was done at Edgemere, and yesterday afternoon the tide had risen so high as to threat en to undermine the Kdgemere hotel. This huge structure was thought to oc cupy a place of safety, but nothing seemed to be safe in the rush of the waves. The water swept up and made a breach in the sand all along the 400 . feef of frontage of the hotel. It washed Its way underneath the building, and at one time; threatened its destruction. In New Jersey all the low lands were under water ,the usual washouts of railroad lying along the coast are re ported. In this particular the electric roads Buffered most. SHOOK SANDY HOOK TOWER. Big Hotel at Sea Isle City Collapses Long Branch and Asbury Park. At Sandy Hook where even th breath of a breeze can be twisted into a- gale, Sunday night s blow was a. howling hurricane.

The waves broke higher than ever be fore and at one time the old towr. which Incoming and outgoing rhlps slgnal.shook and tottered as though it would be blown over. This was to v arris morning, when it is estimated the gale v:, speeding along in the vicinity of seventy-five miles an hour. The storm was the most devastating that has vifcited SeaIsland City since the great storm of 1S9, which was ac companied by a tidal wave. The sea atacked the beach In front of the Brunswick hotel, the finest structure on that portion of the coast, and in the middle of the afternoon the structure fell in a mass of ruins. Life saving vrews have been on the ali-rt ' evr-r since the rtorm began. They have been able to do little In the way of aertins the damage, and have been required to do little in the way of life saving. At Long ISranch the new Iron pier, which many times during the day was shaken to its very foundation. so far has stood the test. All day long the wind blew a gale of tiny miles an hour at Asbury Park. The great board walk was pounded to pieces In many places. The marble monument whii h marks the spot where tne iew r.ra went down in the early days of Asbury Park was undermined by the waves ar.d toppled over Into the eta. Tne- sctr.es ir.

Baaed mm the Firmness mt I'aele Sasa Cosn a le sion's Report Expected Ta Be Beady Wbea Congrrse Meets. Washington, Oct 11 There Is every Indication that the administration hopes to be able by the time congress meets again to report a sensible ad vance In the negotiations concerning the Venezuelan boundary question. though it scarcely can be said that there is an expectation of a final set tlement of the dispute by that date. It was understood when the British am bassador went home on leave of ab sence that It was the purpose of the British premier to make use of the op portunity to confer with Sir Julian, and it was presumed that when Lor? Salisbury became acquainted with the real sentiment of the people in the United States, the fact that In this matter the administration can count on unanimous support, and that there was little hope of a change in the attitude of the government whatever the out come of the pending elections, he might he disposed to go further towards meeting Secretary Olney than at first seemed likely. PaasM-efote and Salisbury Confer. Since Sir Julian has been In London word has come of several on Terences between himself and Lord Salisbury. and It Is exiiected that when he r turns to Washington he will be charged with authority to offer compromise pro posals which may in the end prove to lie the basis for a final settlement of the troublesome boundary dispute. It is expected, too. that the Venezuelan boundary commission will have agreed upon Its report liefore congress meets. and the conclusion reached may very properly le used with great weight by Secretary Olney to sustain his posi tion. As to the other question, relat Ing to the negotiation of a general arbitration treaty, it is believed that not so much progress will be made as in the settlement of the boundary question, for the differences disclosed to exist between the two governments appear to he of larger magnitude than the isvues involved In the Itotindary question, -which after all, are largely ruatters of fact.
