1. The Navy Department has tecelved the following report from the commandant ot the naval station at Port Royal, dated Sept. 30, 1800, regarding the storm: I have to report that on tha SOth Inst, about 11:30 A. a very vlulent cyclone, moving with great rapidity from S. E.

to N. struck thli station and caused much damago In this part ot tho country. The greatest violence ot the storm, fortunately, was of short duration, or there would have been very serious disaster. Tho wires were and still are down, and I have been unable to communicate with the department by telegraph. On this station tbe pile driver and two water tanks were bio mi down and demolished, tbe cupola roof of the boat house blown off, the tin and gutters on officers' bouses anc other buildings partially blown off, plaster partially blown oft tn places In ofllcers' honsm, glass roof of conservatory partly demolished, fences blown down in places, and other damage done, which will be more fully reported.

"Tbe force of the wind being from the southeast, a very high tide was caused, and the greatest wind was about the time of high water. This cansed the water to brnk with great fury over the wing dams of the dry dock, the wharf, and boat bouse, and also drove tho ualer upon the station In the lowest places. The early shifting of the wind and the turning of the tide averted any great disaster from the high water. Honoris of damage In this vicinity are coming in. It is not bellevrd that the loss of life is great.

One seaman was drowned from one of the ve.eln In the harbor, two largo schooners arp aMwro below the station, and one tug was sunk at the wharf at Beaufort. 1 am hapny to state thai as far known no damage occurred tn the dry dock or caloon. 1 caused the flood valve of the caIson to be onenrd as tho tide rose and allowed It to All with wnter as high us the nlr ports. This kept the gate firmly In place, allhougb the sea broke over It furiously." Victim or tbe Storm la Washington. Wasiiinotov, Oct.

XMnln Hupply nnd JUrinnnd Knocks the Wind Out or the C'nlnmlty Orators, Who Triad tu Ilelool tha West with a New Reason Tar Cheap Cereals and a Mew Remedy-Nothing has so annoyed tho Bryan manager as tho recent sharp advance In tho price ot wheat, nhllo silver Keeps going down. Tha higher prices for wheat at Duluth.

St. Paul, Milwaukee Chicago, and New York havo utterly destroyed the stock argument that has been used by the Bryan speakers with tho farmers, these Unnti speakers, ever since the campaign oponod, hnve attcmnted to Influence the farmers by telling them that the reduced prlco of cereala Is tho direct result of what they are pleised to call "tho crime of '73, or the demonetization of silver." Ihu vast majority ot farmers all over the country are thinking pcoule. but In some sections some of the farmers have been taken oil their feet by the reiterated statements ot Uryan and his speakers. These were the farmers who had suffered severely from tho reduced price of cereals nnd who lr, their distress were ready to accept any quaclt medicine offered with a promise of relief. All this has been changed by the recent sharp advnncoln wheat.

The prlco of wheat has gone up approximately 13 cents a bushel within the last thirls duvs, nnd this advance, has becomo one ot the factors In the nolltlcal campaign. The Brvan managers see the force of It and are distressed becuuse of Us effect In the middle Western, Northwestern, and far Western vvhcal-growltig States. The Popocrallc Chairman, James K. Junes, when ho was In ton the other da), was very much perturbed. Many of the Bran shouters have declared within tho last fort) hours that these higher prices havo been brought about by manipulation.

But it Is a matter of indisputable fact that the wheat speculators have been the only nctual sufferers by the advance In wheat. Only In tho last two dayB have the speculators on tho Produce Exchange and on the Chicago Board of Trade begun to get their e)es open. They havo come la at the tall end of the movement, and those with whom a reporter talked esterday declared that they are now walling for a reaction in the price of wheat before bu)lng for a further advance. Mclntyreit Wardwell and other well-known firms on tho Produce Exchange, whlnh accept margins for wheat speculations from their customers, have been doing little or nothing on tbe speculative side of the market- Tnls is true alto of the speculators in Duluth St. Paul, Milwaukee, and Chlragn In other words, the speculators have only Just awakened to the situation.

Hie advance In wheat has been caused by lerltlmate Influent es and no persons know Ibis better than the Bryan manautrs. Ex-Uov. Roswi'U P. Flower ssld at Chicago that the educed price of cereals In America was due tntlrely tn the sharp competition with which Anierit an farmers were confronted b) the wheat growers ot India and Argentina. At the Indianapolis Convention Mr.

Flower reiterated his statements and supported them by an elaborate array of facts and figures. All this time the Br) an speakers had been directed todelare that the reduced price lor cereals wasdue entirely to "the crime of '7 or the demonetization of sliver." -Mr. Flower's words have heen substantiated very much quicker, nosslblr, than he anticipated. The cash price for No. red wheat eloied last night at 711 rents a bushel, which represents approximately a rise of 13 cents In about thirty days.

Amos is one of the largest millers in Onondaga county. He said. "The advance In wheat li due to the fact that the Russian crop is short about 40 per and that the crops In India and Argenilni havo suffered from drought, so much so that tho exports from India and Argeutlua to Europ, especially England and Ihe Continent, have been vtry much below those of lat.t )cur. I came from S)racuse for the purpose of welcoming my old friends, C. M.

Warccr. Dennis McCarthy, and .1. Bowr. who have Jum re-tured from Europe. Mr.

Warner was dcla)ed in London a month louccr than he expected, and he pAid a great deal of attention to the wheat situation. England. It Is well known, prefers tn buy her wheat from India and Argentina, but owing to the bad condition of the crops in three two countries she has been comuellwl to turn to America. I have looked Into this question my-si If a grsat denl and made an exhaustive Investigation. I have done this cause lam a miller and mutt keep un with the times.

I ascertained tn-day on tho I'roduco Exchange ami elsewhere that exporters of wheal have made engagements for ocean freights tip to next May. Ve'y much more wheat could have been exported within the last month If ocean freight room could have been obtained. With this condition of affairs the tranip steamers will begin to d'rect their noses toward the harbor of New York. Tins advance tn wheal materially benefits the farmers. 1 know this because 1 have wbeat which was contracted for mouths ago now coming In to me nt cents a bushel.

For all new purchases, how. ever, 1 have hi en compelled to pav the farmers 75 cents bnshel. I am convinced, after my Investigation', that Europe will taks most of our surplus. This is not a speculative movement. The demand comes from Europe.

It Is an exporters' movement. Ills a straight supply and demand movement. Ihe market lias got away from the rpeculaton. and they are now awaiting a reaction In prices; but this reaction does not appear to come. In mv travels on the Produce Lxoliange I talked with brokers who have speculative customers, and thtso brokers assured me.

In fact, showed me their accounts, that ihe speculative sheets had very many fewer names on them tiian they have had for several years 'I he price of flour has gone up 115 cents a barrel, due entirely to an export movement. Naturally. Willi a short supply of wbeat abroad, the demand for flour will Inerea-e. Die exporters of corn began tn take hold to-day. and there was more corn sold for export than at any time in a number of years, with an advance of two cents it bushel.

My friends who have been abroad have looked Into thu causes for the recent advance In wheat and all In the business are fully aware that tho facts are as I tell them to you." Our exports of wbeat since tbe beginning of September havo been 0.570,(183 bushels, against 3,775,344 for tliu same period In 1805 and 6.4V0.4IMI In 1804. Travellers from Chlcaro reported last night that the Poiiocrnllti national managers In tho Windy City hud been completely rallied by tbe higher prices for wheat. 'Ihe travellers said the farmers In Ihe wheat-growing States had not been seriously Influenced by Ihe rattlebrained arguments of the Bryan speakers, but the honest. money men are very uiucn pleased Just the same bv the legitimate export demand for wheat at this time, for the reason mat it Is the clearest and most substantial to refutn the nonseiisenf Hie Bryan speakers about the real cause for the reduced prices for cereals paid to the farmers within the last year. It may uot hi unluterestlnK to add that on hept.

4 the commercial price of bar silver In New York was U7 cents an ounce. On Sept. 30 it was (Ji9(i cents. So the gold valuo of tho bullion In llio silver dollar has been declining wldle the prlco of wbeat in gold has been rising. Kl.Y JJOIT.V 71 A CARLE CAR.

EIORTEES TRAMPS KILLED IN A MARYLAND COLLISION. A Freight Train Ilound Down Ibo Mona. tain Could Not lie Controlled, Went br tbe FJIdlna Where It Wn to nd Dualled Into Train Comlns Up. Two Baltimoro and Ohio freight trains, one a runaway down the Alleghany Mountnlnsntnspeedofsoventy.flvemllcs au hour, and the other slowly tolling up the grade, collided at Phllsou station, twenty miles east of Cumberland, and ten miles west of Sand Patch, about 1 o'clock this morning. In the collision eighteen nun, all said to be tramps, were klllsd outright, 'train 74, east bound, after leaving Sand Patch tunnel, became unmanageable and could not be stooped at the siding, hero It was lo pass tram 05.

Tho west-hound train had a holper, and the crash when tbe three engines came together was such that fifty-one cars were thrown from the traok. Conductor Harbaugh of train 74, east bound, said that when his train reached Sand Paicb, and Just before descending tho heavy grade, a test was mado of the air brakes on sixteen cars, which comprised about one-hall of the train. Everything was found In good working order. With crew mado up of old and experienced men the) started cast. While going through the Sand Patch tunnel tho conductor felt tho train cluck twice in rapid succession and then dash ahead, and when It passed outof the tunnel It wns going at lightning speed and running away.

As the engine shot around the curve at Phil-son the engineer saw the headlight of No. 1)5 ahead and swung himself off In the darkness. He was hurled down nver the mountain side. The east-bound train struck tho other with an awful crash. Every car on the former was thrown toward the common centre of the collision.

Thu engines were crushed into srrap iron, and many of the cars on tbe west-bound train wero destroyed. Tlie dubrls was piled In a vast heap higher than the telciraph wires. As soon as tho news of tho wreck reached Pittsburgh. Superintendent Cutter started for Phllson on a light engine. He reached there about 2 A.

and Is personally conducting the work ot clearing tho trucks. The eastern express, which left Pittsburgh nt 0 o'clock last night, was held at Rockwood, where the Somerset and Cambria branch to Johnstown Intersects the main line. At daylight It was decided to advance the train to tbe scene of the wreck, where the passengers were transferred around it Tho Cleveland Baiehall Club was on the express bound for Baltimore to open the Temple cuti series of games. When tho wrecking crews, which wero sent from Connellsvllle and Cumberland, got to work they made a temporary hospital for the train men. none of whom Is fatally hurt.

When tho debris was digged out the bodies of the dead were found. By 8 A. M. the remains of six men, all dressed like tramps, were reenv. ered.

The bodies were in tbe piles of wreckage which obstructed tbe tracks This evening ten additional bodies wero picked out. Ihcse, with two discovered during the afternoon, make a total of eighteen dead. At 11 u'olock to-night there remains a considerable mas c.f wreckage, and some trainmen ar certain other dated men will be found. At this season the II. and O.

trains carry hundreds of stowaways east and to the south, and often from forty to sixty secrete themselves on one train. On thu east-bound train which left Pittsburgh on Wednesdn) afternoon tbero were seven machinists going East tn hunt work. All of these are thought to be among the killed. Officials of tho road think ttiat tlie tramp. some of whom probably desired to leave tlie train at Sand Palcb, cut thu air circuits of train No 74.

Hum) lie possible to veilfythlsb) an examination ft the few cars whicli were not demol-libsd I he officials say the search will reveal that the tramp nre to blame. 1 he grade where the runaway occurred is ono of tbe steepest on the line, and the Baltimore and Ohio Company has alwas taken special pains to Instruct Its trainmen on Iho necessity of being on the alert and exercising the best of judgment in making Ihe descent-It starts in the middle of tho mind Patch tunnel and runs to H)tidmati. a distance of seventeen miles 'Ihe grado Is about 125 feet to the mile In most cases it requires every brake on a heavy train to he "set" to hold It un-dercontrol It requires two engines to push some trains up the grade. orncts seaiilt out. Tract Stoeletv'a Tessnls Made l'o happy by "Perambulating; Hell Machine." What the Indignant Janitor called a "perambulating hell machine" started in business Just in front of the American 'Iract Society building, nt Nassau and Spruce streets, jester-day afternoon and all but smoked out the occupants nt tlie ofllces.

Its business was to burn out the asohult pavement, preparatory to repaying It, and while It was in operation the street was closed at bothends of the Hock, but unfortunately It couldn't bo nlosod at the top. A brisk breeze carried tho thick smoke straight in at tho front doors ot tbe building and the elevator shafts did the rest. In about three minutes after the hell machine broke loose the smoka was making every hnll in tho building look blue, and tbe tenants wero aiding In the good work. In ten minutes it had permeated the offices, and terrified t)pe-wrlterr. with dishevelled feelings, were fleeing along the passages, begging in choking accents to be saved from impending doom.

Some two hundred indignant ofllce oecupauta sought out the Janitor, and. In accents of strangled pronnlt), demanded that the nuisance be abated. And a nuisance It certainly wns, of the very wcirsi varlet). That smoke had a peculiar quality of Its own. It not only Ailed e) es and nose and mouth, but It got don Into the pit of )our stomach and gnvo rise to wishes that you hadn't uaten am lunch, combined with doubts as to jour ability to retain what you had eaten.

Tlie Janitor said he couldn't do anything about It, Ihe tenants in-aisled on his responsibility In thu matter "Well, 1 ain't runhing the machine," he declared. Who is. then?" they demanded. "I don't know, Ihe city. The asphalt com-pany.

Go and talk to them." "Drive Iho thing away, then," "Run it off tbe block." Kill the men thatnre running it." "Make "em wait till night." "Do something." But there wasn't uuvthing lo do. For fifteen minutes the hell nine bine fumed and smoked and tho tenants fumed and choked and used language Inappropriate In a Tract Society's building. I'lnulh the cause of all the trouble moved on, and all lliut was left as a remlnls-conce was a pervading odor, some few hundred men who swore they'd complain to Ma) or Strong In the morning, and a small hlaok patch on the asphalt in front of the building.
