Another farlous south easterly gala is swooping over the British coasts and is causing nn Immense amount of damage. From a number of points news has been telegraphed that ships nro ashore nnd that llieir crows are In dungor of drowning or already drowned. To glvo an ontlro list of the wrecks reported would bo a Uinicult nnd lengthy task. A dispatch this morning from Hytho , Kent , says that the French schooner Kdirimi H foundered oft that place ana that the vessel's captain , his wife and son were drownoa In splto of the efforts of tbo llfo savors , who were enabled to take off the rest of the crow. The captain of the IMIrlmi , however , refused to leave the vessel , nnd his wife and son refusal to bo parted from him , preferring death with the gallant sailor to being saved without htm. At the JMcroy of the \Vnves , A telegram received from Sangato , not far from Hytho , says that the British ship Bon- venue of Glasgow has boon driven ashore there uftor n torrlblo struggle with the storm. The crow of the Sandgato lifeboat station made every oftort possible to launch their boat , but without success , The llfoboat was rolled over and over In the pounding serf and finally the life-savors gave up the attempt to get her afloat. The llfoboat crow made another strenuous but fruitless attempt to roach the Bonvonuo. Some of the crow , exhausted by tholr long exposure to the warring olornants , bacamo so weakened that they found It Imposilblo to 1 an I/O t cling to the ilgglng and so wcro . forced to lot go. They dropped into tbo yeasty waters and sank from sight. The others , some of whom are undoubtedly lashed fust , nro still in the rigging. A crowd numbering thousands of people Is gathered along the shore Interestedly nnd sympathetically watching every attempt that U made to save the lives of the ship- wrocltod sailors , whoso only hopa of rescue lies In the off oils of the gallant llfoboat mon. The storm has caused considerable damage throughout the southern counties of England nnd Ireland. Kaln has fallen In largo quan tities. Kurlhor Dctnl'H of Iho Storm. Further details of HID great storm which Is sweeping over E iglanil nro coming to hand nnd theio is no ttoubt tbat the loss of llfo arising fiom marine and other disasters will equal , if not exceed , that which occurred during the last great gale that visited tha British Islos. The dispatches now being received give tbo following list of casualties at the various points along the coast : The Norwegian brig Solortla has been wrecked at , Studlaud , in Dorset. The llshtng boat. Star of the East , while entering Lowcstof , Unshod against the pier nnd was wrecked. Six of her crow were drowned. Ono man was rescued , but ho died from exhaustion shortly afterward. The schooner Marguerite Marie , bound for London , was caught In the hurricane off nungonoss and was blown ashore and wieckod. It Is bollovod that when the storm has Bpent Its force nnd n final estimate of the damage Is made it will bo found that the loss Is much greater than tint Inclined by any storm that has prevailed for yours. The reports from the galo-swopt districts nro very slow in coming In owing to the almost complete paralysis of the telegraph wires , but the reports thus far received show thai the damage must bo wldospoad nnd very heavy. Tbo damage to property at Folku- stone nnd Deal is very gioat. The dainngo to fishing bents and other small craft em ployed In the local coastwise trade Is large , but no estimate of the amount of loss can as yet bo made : The farmois in the Midland counties nro growing discouraged nt the mis fortunes that are pursuing them. The rlvois in iho Midland counties are rapidly rising nnd it is feared that this will bo a general repetition of the Hoods of n few week's ago. Glorious , GiUlunl Here OH. At Dover the local llfo boat , manned and provisioned , is hold in rondlnois to proceed to any quarter within the Dover district to nld vessels that are In distress. A tug , with steam up , is lying beside her to take her In tow. At present the sea Is running tro- inonduouHly and it Is unsafe for the tug or lifeboat to venture outof the harbor. Part of the crow of the life-sailing crow nt Ilytho , while engaged In rescuing n ship wrecked crow , were swept from tuolr boat nnd drowned. From IJungoness comes n story of the loss of homo of tin ) bravo and hardy lifeboat mon. A foielgn b < > rl < wont ashore nt that place nnd the lifeboat men started gallantly to the roaeuo of her omtangcrod crow. A tromon- duouf ' " .ivy sea was running and the lifeboat boat- \cd to.

X'o of the crew were swept away boco , /y could grasp the llfo lines on the sUo.o boat , anil though they were cork Jnckohov were lost. The ether men suc ceeded u righting thulr boat nnd scrambled into nor. At Deal n fishing boat wns capsized and two of her crow were drowned. Several vessels nro ashore between Dun gcnoss and Dover , nnd It Is feared they witco - co to pieces and their crows will perish be fore assistance can got to thorn. A number of vessels In distress bnvo been driven past Snndgato. They were all Hying tignals calling for help , but It was Impossible to do anything to relieve them on account of the Iremenduously heavy sens. According to tha latest reports the gale is gonon > l throughout England , Tlio Bark Amor Is stranded near St. Loon- nrds The erow climbed Into the rigging whew they lashed themselves fast. Though K life saving crow made every effort possible to got to the wreck , It was utterly impossible to got tlio lifeboat beyond the line of surf that on mo booming on thushoro. An attempt lo gel a line to the wreck by moans of roukuts lso tailed , the gale blowing with such ( rightful velocity that the rockets were Diverted from their course. The only liopo far tbo wrecked sailors Is that the storm may lUbbMo before they dlo of exhaustion. Hcnuiicd at Last. Nothing daunted by tholr many wearying nnd fruitless attempts to got to ana rescue tlia surviving inombars of the crew In the rU/glngof the ship Bcnvonuo , thu lifo-snvors determined to innkaiuiutgroatofTarttoreach the Imperilled men , but tlio v wore nguln forced to retreat before tha angry sea and leave the fast weakoulng sailors to their fate. Then the llfo silvern at Soabrook resolved to ngain risk thulr lives and inaku another ut- tomnt to got out to where tbo Bcnveuue wns _ bolng beaten to pieces. Tbolr boat was - sbca'.on anu tossed about on tbo heavy surf uiul every moment was in Imminent danger of bolng overturned. The rescuers at length succeeded In getting free of thu breaker * nnd beyond the outer odgoof thosurr. The most dangerous patt of their Journey had now been passed , and umld the Inspiring cheers and shouts of the niixlous watchers on the shore tbo llfo savor * started In the direction of iho wrevuod vessel.

Tbo work 1)f landing the men from tbo rigging wns at once begun and twenty-seven of tbo ufllccM nnd crow wcro safely taunsferrod from tbo ship to the llfo boat. When this task had been accomplished the llfoboat was then bonded for shore ana the Ufa savors again struggled at tbolr oars.

Tlio survivors of the wreck were tenderly cared for by the people of the place nnd when the story of their torrlblo experience wns told It was learned that the cnptaln and four of the crew had gone bv the board nnd were drowned before tbo llfo savors could roach the stranded vessel. lirtkon nnd Mattered Wrecks. A dlspitch from Lowestof announces that a Scotch lugger was capsl/cd olT that port tot'ny ' nnd that six of her crow were drowned. A 1,000-ton ship , the PHungor , has gene nshoro at Hastings. After an unsuc cessful attempt had boon made by the local llfoboat to rescue the crow and passengers , the lite-savors resorted to rockets In an endeavor to get n llfo line to the ship. After firing eleven rockets , all of which failed to reach the ship , the twelfth attempt was successful and the passengers nnd crow were saved. At every port on the oa t nnd south coasts of England great anxiety prevails as to the fatu of the fishing boats. Hundreds of these boats , Induced by flue weather , put to sea yesterday. The latest accounts of tbo ravages of the storm tell of tbo wreck of two schooners near Brighton and the drowning of four of their crews. Tunight the weather Is clear and calm nnd the gale has apparently subsided. The tolo- grapb lines which wcro piostrated by the storm , nro tot yet rcsto'red , and the dis patches nro mostly received bv the wires from the mid-southern pdrtlon of England. These dispatches record n tale of disaster that quito dwarfs that of the dlstruetion wrought bv the Oc'obor galo. Notwithstanding the heroism of thn llfo boat men nnd guards the number of fatalities has already reached an appalling figure. From many points -"here the storm raged most fiercely no tidings have yet been re ceived. The service across the channel is most entirely suspended. The Ostcnd boat started with the mall , but the captain positively declined to take pas- senirers on board. Two mon belonging to the crow of the Dymehurch lifeboat were drowned. Among the channel Islands the galu was foltwlth the utmost severity. Many per sons were set lonsly injured on the inland of Jersey by falling "debris and several boats were sunk in the harbor. At Bristol tbo roof of Iho handsome Cath olic cathedral was blown off nnd ono man killed. Another schooner was wrecked at Hast ings nt 10 O'clock tonight. The crow was saved with illfliculty. Three men belonging to the crow of a pilot cutter were drowned nt Cardiff while at tempting to rescue a fisherman who was clinging to an overturned boat. The wreck of the two schooners nt Brighton presented an extremely sad sight. Thous ands of people lined the shore nnd watched the men on ono of thn vessels clinging ln-lp- lesslv to the rigning. When the vessel began - gan to break up the sailors leaped Into tbo sea and after battling with tbo waves for awhile , disappeared from view.

Kennedy. Tt dates from Sunday , November 1 , All Saints' dny , whlcb was made tbo occasion of n grand demonstratlon in honor of these who lost their lives while in the service of the Junta previous to the downfall of Balamacodu. A great throng visltud the cemetery at Santiago to heap ilornl tributes on the graves of the dead heroes. Among the visitors was Minister Kennedy who also was intent on decorating some graves. His coach became blocked nt the entrance to the cemetery , preventing the passage of many other carriages behind him. In consequence there was a great deal of confusion , The coacliiimu , swelled up with prmo from the fact that ho was driving the British diplomatist , refused to move wnon called upon to do so by the pooulaco which was much nnnoyed nt the blockade. In con sequence of tbo coachman's stubbornness a row ensued , during which ho found It advis able to leave his seat nnd seek safety in flight. Minister Kennedy's coach was somewhat damaged by colliding with other vehicles whoso occupants Insisted upon getting the right of way , This unpleasant mcidont of the day's cele bration put Mr. Kennedy into nn indignant frame of nunil , and over since ho has evi denced a spirit of unfriendliness towards the authorities. Every one In Santiago is laughing over the Idea that such n trifle should bo regarded by Minister Kennedy as an Insult to British dignity. Nevertheless ho seems determined to so look upon it. Some Able Hntllcd Ijlnrs. The correspondents of certain European newspapers seem bent upon doing nil In tholr power to create misunderstandings between Chili and the United States , and even boast that such a motive inspires their articles. They make no secret of their aosiro to Incul pate Minister Egnn in every innuendo that is started against the United States , and say that they will publish everything which in their opinion will glvo the world the impres sion that tbo American representatives un duly supported Balmacoda.

He has also made himself very prominent on account of his disparaging remarks - marks against the American people. Dr. Olnf Paz , the brother of Charles Puz , a lawyer at S.in Francisco , and who gave up bis practice to Join the congressionalists as surgeon general in the army , has been re quested by I'rcsidont-elect Jorge Montt to visit Europe for n year's medical research , in appiociation of his services to the Junta. Scliloy "Willing to Acquiesce. Captain Schloy has wired the Navy de partment of the United States relative to tbo concession of Judgro of Crimes Fobtcr to cnrtaln of Schloy's demands. Judge Foster , in a letter to Captain Schloy a day or two ago , gave his consent to the appearance of an ofllcor of the Baltimore and an Interpreter nt the secret inquiry , wbllo the Amoi lean sailors were testifying to the 'assault upon thorn. Judge Foster explained fully in the letter the facts relative to the Chilian legal proceeduro in such cases. These data show that the Chilian secret inquiry bears a resemblance to our grand jury system. Captain Schloy , in his commu nication to the Navy department , recom mends that It agree to the proposals of Judge Foster. Ono of the Valparaiso papers this evening publishes a letter Irom Senator Trumbull to Mr. Eyro In regard to the charges In the Her ald agalntt Grace & Co.'s firm.

If there Is any revolt In Pornambuco , Bahla or Para , reliable information of it has not reached this city.

Uruguay has become alarmed at the state of affairs In lir.-uil , and has massed troops along the frontier line of t'qat country. I am just In receipt of n dispatch from Buenos Ayrcs , which states that on the night of November 0 n revolt was boeun In the state of Rio Grande d < s Sul , nnd that it spread rapidly. At last accounts the greater part of the state was occupied by the rebels. Ganarals Fernandez nnd Santa Anna are said to bo at the head of ttic revolutionists , and tholr ranks are reported to bo receiving constant accessions. The garrison , at Yuearon , it is said , has joined tbo insurgents , nnd the artillery has boon placed at the disposal of the two generals who nro iu command. Government Troops Scut Out , The dictator's governor In Klo Grande do Sul , Castllha , deemed the revolt so serious that ho asked the central government for reinforcements , representing his position as precarious. In compliance with his request , Dictator da Fonseca at once sent four gun boats , three monitors anil two transports , loaded with troops , to the scene of the up rising. The troops will bo landed at the ports of Kio Grande do Sul , Polodas and San Jose do Norto , at the mouth of the bay of Patos. Following upon the announcement of the garrison at Yugaron going over to the insurgents , comes worn that two other garrisons liava also joined the rebel forces In Hio Grande do Sul , Wbllo all this Is takinir place the residents of Klo Janeiro seem to bo kept in perfect ignorance of those stirring events. They believe that everything Is peaceful in the republic and that the discon tent against Fonseca Is not worth noticing. Tholr ignorance Is owing to the fact that the government is suppressing all telegrams that describe tbo true situation * of affairs in the state of Kio Grande do Sul. Forming n Now Parly.

It Is believed that da Fonseca's troops will act on the defensive. The probabilities nro the authorities will moot with a very lively tirao in Klo Grande do Sul. The persons hitherto holding ofllos but now opposed to Da Fonsocn are In des titute circumstances.

It would , however , bo nn error to rush to the other extreme and sup pose from this that the "entente" between Kussla and Franco Is comploto. Uhoro has , in fact , been a slight hitch In the relations between those two countries.

The spirit of insubordination amour the people In the dis tressed districts is bocomlng so intense tbat it Is feared serious trouble will result , culminating In an open revolt of the peasantry early in the winter. The relations existing between landlords nnd peasants nro so s trainedthat an outbreak Is imminent. Tenants - ants defy the landlords to evict even under an order of law and monuco tbo land owners with throits to burn their granaries. Kosl- dents throughout Llthanla and Poland and tn lofal courts , composed of magistrates drawn from tradesmen mid smaller farmers , side with the tenants. The loading govern ment ortleiats nro aware of the perils of the situation and propose to sand Imperial com missioners to the disturbed places , vested with supreme power and to supersede , if necessary , governors and other ofliclals un able to cope with abuses.

The stars nnd stripes waved aloft tonight after n sccno of excitement unequalled since tbo Hayniaruot riot. Oxer 2,000anarchistsornnarchiat sym pathizers , bad crowded Into the WcstTwelfth stteot turner hall to commemorate tlio day November 11 , 18S7 , on which their follow an * nrchists tvero hung. It WAS the moat deci sive ilomonsti-atlou of the kind In this city slnco the eventful evening of May 4 , when several police wont down in blood. Tlx specebos were oxtiomo , and rod emblems covered ovorythlng. Tha climax came during the Incendiary utterances of Henry Wolssmau , editor of tbq Now York linker , a Gorman trades paper. Inspector of Police Hubbard , accompanied bj Lieutenant Gibbons and n squad of of , fleers In cltbons clothes , were scon to quietly approach the stage. They ordered an Amer ican Hag placed among the ( laming banners. Instantly there was a profound sensation In the motley nudionco and the police wora hissed from all parts of the Hall. Mrs. Lucy Parsons , who occupied n chair in the roar part of the hall , shouted out : "thing th murderers of my husband 1" In a second pandemonium reigned , hun dreds of oxeltcu men pushing forward curs ing the ofllcors , nnd soomlngly only wanting n nod or look from the loadnr to precipitate a fearful spcctaclo of carnage. Nevertheless Inspector Hubbard unflinchingly ordered n suspension of the meeting until his com mands were obeyed. Through the din tbo half hundred police could be scon placing tbolr hands on their clubs nnd revolvers preparatory for n light , which seemed inevitable. It was fully ten minutes bcfora order was restored. The Hag meanwhile had boon reluctantly hoisted to n place over the stage , a proceeding only ac complished when tbo onicora were found to bo ready for action and cooler bonds among tbo oxcltod audience nnd spectators had tlmo to oxorclso some Influence. The mooting bad been taken completely by surprise or clso a moro serious result might have followed. The leaders of the mooting say the meeting was only to show regard and reverence for tbo men who perished while laboring for tha benollt of humanity. The since was fairly burled In rod bunting , banners nnd trimmings. In the front of thn structure , on either side , stood out In bold contrast to the surroundings , bron/o busts of Spies nnd Parsons. These were cheoicd wildly by the spectators. To the loft of the stngo was nallca a banner with the inscription : "Tbcro will come a time when our sllcnco will bo more powerful than ourvolcos. " Spies words on the scaffold. Against the stage walls were p'cturcs of the llvo dead anarchists , while directly nbovo them was the motto : "Muulered , but not aead. " Two banners bore the Gorman Inscriptions , "Equal Klghts for All" and "Liberty and Frecdi/m. " Editor Wclssmun then appeared. He is a middle si/cd man with light hair mid mustache and paitly bald. Ills appearance was greeted with enthusiastic snouts. Ho commenced with the troubles of organized labor nnd to tlio opposition which it mot. After a flaming introduction ho launched forth into the Haymarkct riot. As the speaker was descrying the courts as prosti tuted , ho said it was tbo poverty stricken condition of the masses that actuated Spies and Parsons to tholr acts of despera tion when the pollco muilo tholr cntranoo , and the consequent uproar ensued. When the police orders had been finally obeyed another mooting was announced for tomor row night nt the old-time anarchist ren dezvous , Grloff ball , on Lake street. Ol'lVM tiMUdGKlillit. Discovery of an Ingenious Pint to Avoid 1'iyiiiji tlio Duly. Nisw Vouic , Nov. 11. The sudden discov ery of a wholesale system of opium smug gling across the Canadian border has consid erably startled the custom bojsc oOlclnls. In the custom bouso there Is now lying tho. largest quantity of opium over solved and there is still moro to follow. The whole story will ba make public tomorrow. It is believed that the opium traf fic has been started by some of the opium growers of India , fho Indian murcnants nave ilrst sent that diug to Can ada , and It bus then been smuggled across the border Into the United States. In addi tion to having agents tn Canada about tlireo or four months ngo , two or thieo well edu cated natives from Bombay arrived In this country by way of Europo. They ostensibly cameon some other business , but tha real ob ject of their business is bblloved to huvo been the completion of an olnborato arrange ment for Increasing thu opium tralllc In this cojntry. As the first attempt nt smuggling proved to bo EO successful , it was determined to operate on n larger scnlo. Tboiamlllcatlons of tlio scheme are Intricate and Ingenuous , out with the information already In the hands of the treasury ofliclals , an effectual stop will ba put to opium smuggling.
