The victims of the cyclone in the city and Itn suburbs number fifteen persons , of which number eight were whlto and Bovec black. Twelve of these were drowned nnd three crushed by falling walls and roofs. The value of property destroyed in the city proper amounts In round numbers to $1,000,000. nbout half of which is covered by storm insurance. lleforo the result of the storm had passed nway on Monday the work of rebuilding and repairing had started nnd when flcgraphlc communication with the rest of the world was opened tonight the city was in somewhat better plight than it was In the morning of the 1st of September , ISSfi , when U was almoEt destroyed by the earthquake. By far the greatest amount of the losses , probably $800.000 , falls on the municipality nnd on the East Shore Terminal company. Tilt ? damage to private residences Isn't as great as was the case In the cyclone of 1885 or oven In the earthquake of 18SO ; It was rcoro widespread , but the individual losses Itt - were lighter. ! > When thn Cj'clnno Appcnrott.

The death roll on the sea islands seems t ( bo growing appallingly , and it is grcatl ; foi\rcd \ the end is not yet. The news fron the cotton and rice fields is also very gloomy It looks ns if the cyclone of 189.1 Is going ti beat the record. The oca islands of South Carolina , whicl comprises the country between Gcorgetowi on the north nnd Hunting island 01 the south is the richest par of the state.

WASHINGTON , Sept. l.-rTho vigor with which Mr. Cockrell today objected to Mr. Voorhecs' request for nnaLimous consent that the senate bill bo substituted for the house bill rcpealhig the purchasing clause of the Sherman act , recalled the stubborn con test made by these on the democratic stdo of the uhnmbcc to the force bill , against which every , obstacle known to parliamentary laws was invoked. There was , however , none of the Indifference to speeches displayed in the senate today In the discussion of the repeal bill that was so frequently noted during the debate on the force bill. Mr. Vance In his speech today had a largo majority of the senators and well-filled galleries as his audi tors , and was followed with much attention. Mr. Cocuroll , at the end of Mr. Vance's speech , criticised the republican party for its inconsistencies of two years ago in its campaign handbook , claiming credit for the beneficial Sherman act , now denouncing It as the cause of the proseut distressed condi tion of the country. Mr. PefTur wanted to know whether the campaign book had been snnt through the mall under n frank , and wns told by Mr. Cockrell that ho did not know. The fact that the senate will meet tomor row indicates that the majority of ttio com mittee on finance intends to press the repeal bill to a vote at the earliest chance ; In fact. Mr. Voorhecs today called for a vote on the bill and for a few moments greatly excited the silver senators. Mr. Tellor'n Iteiolutlon. When the senate mot today Mr. Teller of Colorado submitted a resolution calling upon the secretary of the treasury for a state ment giving the aggregate amount of silver bullion purchased under the act of July H , 18SK ) , during the mouth of August , together with the cost , the amount , date and price of each purchase and the name pf tbo Vendor ; also the amount of silver bullion offered for sale during the month , the amount , name and price of each offer and of the person laking such offer. At the suggestion of Mr. Turple the words and have paid for , " were added , and in this orm the resolution was agreed to. The iffcct of this amendment is to show the kind f money ill which the bullion was paid for. air. Vance's Speuch. On motion of Mr. Voorhecs the house bill 'or the repeal of the purchasing clause of ho Sherman act was taken up , prior to its icing read as regular business , at 2 o'clock , , nd Mr Vance took the Hoar thereon. Ho poke In opposition to the bill and 'avored free coinage. A largo part > f the speech was devoted to shtTf- ng the Inconsistencies of the friends of opcal in both parties in view of the bimetallic .leclarntions of both national platforms. Ho luoted from theso.coinmenting in an ironical strain on the way in which the plodgas were being fulfilled. Ho said they aeamed to think the cnly way to maintain the parity between gold and silver was to llrst strike silver a death blow. Unconditional repeal would bo a death blow , "or It was well known that leveland would vote any sliver coinage bill. The effect on the condition of mankind fol- .owing the destruction of half the currency ot the world , aggrecating 87,500,000,000 , it ivould bis impossible to accurately describe. Ho gave the history of the demonetiza tion of silver nnd declared that every government which demonetised the white metal did so when it was at a premium , When coinage stopped In India the effort to have it stopped in the United States began and was aided by the influence of the moneyed power ot all the world and our gov- eminent. If coinage stopped hero sllvei would ccaso to live throughout the com mercial nations of the earth. The fall in price would bo grcatei than ttuit following the stoppage of coinage in India. Repeal without a substitute stituto meant the end of silver money foi this generation , unless a revolution of tlu [ ieoi > lo should restore it , ns alter the fraud ulent demonetization of 1HT3. Lot no mat loubt that tlio proposed repeal was the re suit of a conspiracy among the mono\ \ holders of the world. Ho declaroi the Sherman law did not drivi out gold , else why * dil golc return with It still in force f The democrat ! ! platform , ho said , denounced the Shermar act as a "cowardly makeshift , " yet this bll for its repeal , striking silver a harder blow was more cowardly and moro of a makeshift Ho closed with a declaration for the frci coinage of silver. As Mr. Vance proceeded , republican sen ators gradually drifted over to tlio demo cratic side , until thu scats on that t > ! du o the hull wcro filled. Ho was followed will the closest attention by senators nnd visitors Dunne Senator Vance's remarks Mr Cookroll interjected a statement of tlio pro duction nnd coinage of gold nnd silver iron 187.1 to Ib'.tJ , which showed a prqcluctioi of gold amounting to $33IO."IH,20 !

" A discussion followed us to tho'parlu meutary nroccdure to be observed in ill consideration of tlio subject , and Mr. Vooi hecs asked that the bill reported by til finance committee bo substituted for th house bill. To this Mr. Cockrell of Missouri objcutc until thcro was uu opportunity for full tli : cussion. Compared thu Two III1U , Mr. Cockrell read the provisions of th two bil.'s , comparing the phraseology of tl house bill , which declares that repeal shu not impair the legal tender quality of tl standard silver dollars heretofore coluoi with that of the senate substitute , dccla Ing it to be the policy of tlio count ) to continue the use of gold and silver ; standard money. The difference bef.vet the provisions was as great us between tl darkness of midnight and thu light of t ) noonday sun and ho declared that the pr vision of the house bill waa-prefVrablo. Mr , Allison of Iowa observed that the r peal clause In no sense affected or Imp.Urc thu value of the silver dollar coined , but t Inserting the house proviso It would leayu question of doubt whether that portion i the Sherman law stands which requires tl secretary of the treasury to coin this bulllc into dollars.

It would bo n Rltfrlous achievement for this distinguished statesman to bo able to say that after the lapse of twenty years of ono of tho. fiercest struggles Iho world has over soon bo had brought the dominant party down upon Its knees upon his platform nnd made thorn rendopt what ho had established in JS70.

That question will not bo determined by tlio protectionist tfold inonomctalllst from Hhodo Island ; not nt nil. A better nnd nobler class will determine that. It Is 'u nice position ; It is admirable.

WASHINOTON UUIIRMJ OP Tun BKB , ] 618 FOUIITKENTII STUCBT , > WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. I There \vns much comment made tit tlio capltol today upon Commissioner Ijochren's pension order of ycstnrday. It was regarded by all frlonda of thu veterans ns a bodge against anticipated action at tlio Grand Army of the Hepubllc national oncnmpmont in Indianapolis next \vuek , as it had been known' for some tlmo by Secretary Hoke Smith , Pension Commissioner Lochron and President Cleveland that the veterans wore preparing to literally skin the pension policy of this administration during their encamp ment proceedings next week. The order of yesterday Is not regarded as n "modifica tion" of the order of some mdnths ago , xvhcreby pensioners wcro oolng dropped by the thousand from the rolls upon mere suspicions and. then given sixty days In which to IU-OVQ that their names should bo restored to the rolls. The 6rder of yesterday Is regarded as a simple reversal of the original order , a humiliation of that action and an ucknowl- edcomont that it was wrong , as every friend of pensions knew It to be. Now notice of sixty days is to ho plvon of sus pected fraud before the pensioner is dropped , but it Is stated that after the en campment next week the practical effect of the llrst older will be plvon the one of yes terday and the wholesale "notice of suspen sions" will bepln. In short , the "modified" order Is intended to simply throw the veterans off their guard and allow tlio ad ministration of President Cleveland to escape a terrlblo scoring at Indianapolis.

For the present the commissioner of pen sions , at the direction , first of the president and then Secretary Smith , Is willing to bo humiliated until after the encampment , when the work of "reducing pension ex penses" will bo renewed , The "modified" order will admit of that work without the direct criticism that has been received lately.

The Idea Is to force the pensioner tc accept the lowest amount possible under the law , after It Is found thai by no rule or prac tice ho can be dropped from the rolls.
