STORMS AND TONApOEs AT THE WEST A
severe storm, which at times took the form OF
a tornado, passed over portions of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa on the 10Th ult. AT
Eagle, Clinton county, Michigan, the storm
swept everything before it for a space about
five rods wide. The house and outbuildings
of W. Sutherland were completely demolish-
ed, and a number Of places in the vicinity suf-
tered severely. Mr.. f. Shattuck was killed,
Il Mr.. Davis had his>leg broken, and Mr..
George West was SO badly injured that he is
not expected to live. The storm then passed
on to Wacousta nearly destroying the busi-
ness portion of the town. The storm was one
OF unusual iiercenc>S in Central Michigan.
and reports of great damage are coming in
from all quarters. The hurricane swept over
the belt of country embraced in kalamazoo,
Allegan, Barry, Eaton, Ingham, Clinton,
comb counties, and in all quarters fences We're
prostrated, frame buildings unroofed orblown
down, orchards damage and crops tlattened
and injured,
AT Milwaukee,, Wisconsin, the city was
flooded. Cellars We're filled up, many shade
trees washed out by the roots. and everything
movable swept away. Thousands OF dollars
will not repay the damage. There We're sev-
eral narrow escapes from drowning Hail
stones of large size fell on the lake. At
Sparta, Lacrosse and Portage it rained tllri-
ous y, with serious results TO the crops. At
Fon du Lac hail stones as large as oranges
are reported, cutting things to pieces badly
All the skylights in town wer' demolished.
The city was Hooded.
The Dubuque QowO papers say that place
was delugcd with water, blinded by light
ming, and dealened by thunder. At Andrew
in Jackson county, a tornado struck the house
of Mr.. John Jones, just as the family were
about to sit down to supper, carrying away
the roof and upper portion of the building,
taking everything out of the house, even to
the carpet on the floor. The family gathered
together in corner and were not hurt, eX-
ceptlng one boy, and he not seriously. Mr.
Jones had about four thousand feet of lumber
piled up near his house. which was carried
about three miles distant, and broken into
small pieces. His poultry were all killed,
and his fences thrown down.

CUBAN MATTERS.

WAsHINGToN, July 4. The fact having
leaked out that Sickles took important in
structions to Spain, all manner of speculation
regarding the same has arisen. Among
these is a statement that this Government has
offered to purchase Cuba Official contradc.
ton of this is already furnished, but there is
no reason given to contradict the paragraph
sent Friday that Sickles is authorized to Offer
the services of this Government as a media
tor, or intercessOr, to save further bloodshec
in Cuba and relieve the Spanish Government
of the great expense of carrying on the war

WHAT 1T MEANS.

After careful study. we think we have dis
covered the hidden meaning of the prohib-
ton resolution of the Chamberlain Conve,-
ton. 1t reads as follows
That we emphaically renew our adhesion to the
principle of prohibition and vigorous enforcement
of the laws to that end.
1t is a huge sell attempted on prohibitions
lists, and really covers a pretty good Joke.
Just read carefully the first portion, declaring
an ''adhesion TO the principle prohibition ::
and then the remainder, 'and q rigoroals en-
.torcen1eM cf the lars to That cnd." To what
end? Why, to end prohibition. They mean
to kill it. 1t is only an enigma, thinly yelled,
over which the adherents of Chamberlain are
laughing hugely, and which the more simple
minded temperance men are swallowing like
a sugar-coated pill. Grant said in his inau-
gural that vigorous enforcement of obnox-
ious laws was the best road to repeal When
the enemies of Il law are in power, this is
true, and the Chamberlainites know it. If
they We're really friends of the law, and hon
estly for its execution, they could have said
so, instead of putting forth this hicroglyphic
conundrum.
/ The new prohibitory law in Massachusetts,
went into operation on the first, and Boston is
experiencing the dryest time ever known.
The bars are closed, and the most desperate
ly thirsty can't get a drop to moisten their
tongues. The new law provides terrible
series of punishment by fine and imprison-
ment, and is expected by its advocates to ban
ish even the fond recollection of past iuleps
and smashers from the memories Of men.
Perhaps il will
