WASHINGTON, March 30.-Secretary De-
laAo In letter to Gov. Burbank, of Idaho,
states he has information that combination
of men is being made in the region of coun-
try known as the Black Hills in Dacotah,
which is within the reservation ofthe Sioux
Indians. Federal officers encourage the
movement. Hence he requests the Govern
or to cause a stop to be put to any cOmbina-
tons of this character against Law. The
Secretary has also addressed letter to the
Secretary of War with view of securing
the aid of the military in checking expedi-
tons.
1t is said bills are pending in Congress,
aiming at solution Of this problem, and
that congressional action will anticipate
military interference, by throwing open the
the country referred TO for settlement.
One Of the bills referred to authorize the
Secretary Of the Interior to purchase the
Black Hills regions from the Sioux Indians,
and in case they refuse to sell the Secretary
is authorized to make arrangements to oc-
cupy the country.

GEORGIA CORN EGYPT.

Gen. Charles P. Stone, formerly Of the
United States army, now attached to the
Egyptian War Office at Cairo, reports very
satisfactory cultivation of Georgia corn, the
seed of which was received from the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t was
not planted till the goth Of August last, thus
losing eight days of the hot summer wealth
er. 1t came up in four days, and, being
well irrigated with Nile water, grew rapidly
reaching the height Of eight feet, throwing
out three or four shoots from each stalk.
The ears were gathered at Christmas, full
and ripe, but not so long as he expected to
see them. The hills were shaded by orange
trees, and hence the experiment did not
succeed as well as it might have done.

TERRIFIC TORNADO IN ST. LOUIS
A Market Full of People Blown Away.

Miraculous Escape of Hundreds.
ST. LOUIS March 30.-A very severe
thunder and lightning storm passed over
the city about s O'Clock this evening, ae-
companied by a heavy rian. During the
storm a terrific tornado from the southwest
struck the large brick markethouse on Sew
enth street, between Spruce and Poplar, and
leveled the northern half of it to the ground
in twinkling. Most of the roof and sew
eral heavy timbers were carried across Sew
enth street, and striking building opposite
Knocked two great holes in it exposing the
rooms.
So far as now known only five persons
were injured, one, Henry Wilde, butcher,
seriously, perhaps MORALLY. A woman,
name unknown, had her leg badly crushed,
and man, also unknown, had both arms
broken. All the stalls in the markethouse
were occupied, and large number of per-
sons were present making purchases, and
its very wonderful that scores of them were
not killed.
Aside from slight damages to one or two
buildings, two or three blocks distant, no
other damage seems to have occurred. 1t
is likely the tornado struck the ground only
at this point, rose again and passed on in a
Northeastern direction. 1t may be heard
from at some point in Illinois tomorrow.
Seventh street is blocked with debris, and
parts of the markethouse roof and awnings
were carried two or three blocks distant.
Later.
The following are additional names of
the injured as far as can be learned to-
night: John Hecklack, severely hurt and
causing paralysis in lower part of the body,
will probably die; Mrs. Flori, compound
fracture in left lower leg, flesh badly lace
rated; Edwin Flori, internally and shoulder
torn by meat hook; Geo. White, badly cut
about the head, nose broken and ankle dis
located; Henry Liphardt, internally; John
Burger, arm broken and bruised in various
places. Also two or three others slightly
bruised.

The Erie Excitement.
Business opened in financial circles to-day
with greater activity and with larger deal
ings than on any other day since the excite
ment of the Chicago fire last October. The
advance in all prominent railway stocks are
the principal feature of speculation. Not
withstanding there is no business in the
London Stock Exchange, adjournment hav-
ing been had from Thursday to Tuesday
next, orders for Erie were received there
from. The price Of Erie in London was
about SO and here it went up to about 625,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30-Dispatches
from the volcanic district, 400 miles south
east from San Francisco, give additional de-
tails Of the earthquake Tuesday last. The
shocks continue though with decreased Vi
olence. 1t is remarkable that only single
slight shock Tuesday was felt in central and
and northern California.
Cerro Gordo was badly damaged. Some
buildings were thrown down, but only one
man killed.
Lone Pine appears to have been directly
over the centre of the disturbance. Among
the killed was Mr.. Gray, of Texas, and the
remainder were all Spanish Americans.
Col. Whipple, who was in the second
story of an adobe house, states that he just
had time to jump from the bed and get to
the doorway when the house appeared to
crumble to pieces beneath him. He was
buried among the ruins but succeeded in
extricating himself, suffering from several
painful but not dangerous wounds.
The scene beggars description. Near
ly the whole populace was buried beneath.
the ruins. Cries for help and screams of
pain from the wounded filled the air, while
those who escaped from the ruins
were calling for help to res
cue fathers, brothers, wives and children.
The first shock was followed in quick
succession by three others. Over thres
hundred distinct shocks were felt between
half past two and sunrise. In fact the
earth was in constant shake. and tremble for
over three hours.
A chasm. was opened extending So miles
down the valley, ranging from three inches
to forty feet in width. Rocks were torn
from their places and rolled down into the
valley. Everywhere through the valley are
seen evidences of the terrible commissions of
nature. re
At Swansea Col. Tregallas, of the smelt-
ing works, was. killed. There is much des-
olation among the inhabitants of Lone
Pine.
Still Shaking.
A dispatch to-day from Visalia says that
several shocks were felt in the city last
night, and are still coming from the southr
east.
Persons anticipate the finding of immense
chasms in the mountains east of us, as soon
as the snow disappears enough to admit of
investigation.
RumorS that volcano in active operation
has been seen from the summit of Green
Lood Mountain, 90 miles south Of Visalia,
are in circulation, but are considered at
least dubious.
The Indians in that vicinity had all left,
fearing the recurrence of a general convul-
sion of nature, which, according to tradi
ton, occurred there some hundreds of
years ago, and created what is now known
as Owens River Valley, but what was be-
fore a chain of mountains.
The section affected by the earthquakes
is sparsely inhabited, mainly by people
working the silver-bearing lead mines.

cupy the time Of the grand jury in investi-
eating old whisky frauds committed five or
six years ago.

District Attorney, Samuel G. Courtney by
the United States Grand Jury, is wholly
without foundation. This statement is
made on the authority Of Judge Noah
Davis, United States Attorney. Courtney
appeared in court this morning and demand
ed to be Informed whether any indictment
had been found and was informed none had
been.
HLATEsT-The Grand Jury Of the United
States Court to-day presented number of
indictments and were discharged. The

THE Boston correspondent of the Hart
ford Courant (Republican) says:
"He who thinks that party can hold its
supremacy In a government which is ran by
men like Conkling, Morton, Carpenter,
Chandler and Nye, with statesmen like
Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz protesting
and prescribed, must be more sanguine than
the average of people"
Yet this is just What the Grant party
think, just what they act, and just wha
they expect.
