The London Times, In leading
editorial on the visit Of the cznr TO
Berlin, and its probable significance,
says: awe believe the ear Is resolved
to hold most decided language in favor
of the maintenance of peace, and to
use every effort TO put u stop TO the
present alarm. A few days will prob
ably bring forth Official disclaimers of
recent reports. 1t Is possible that 1t
will he said that there is noting to JUS
tify French apprehensions, but there
should be no mistake on this point.
As long ~ the present condition pre-
walls, there will naturally be uneasi-
ness, aud even danger. An unlocked

may precipitate II rupture, and the car
Is unable to guarantee that France will
not attack Germany within few
years. Gigantic ornaments are
mutual menace; while they exist it Is
beyond the power of imperial peace
makers to allay apprehensions."

ATLANTA, Ga, May 1.-THE par
ticulars of another terrible tornado
have just reached this city. 1t passed
over Stewart county on Monday night.
Farms were completely devasted eve
rywhere in the track of the storm.
-Four or five persons are reported kill
ed and number wounded. "A number
of horses and mules were killed. The
cyclone passed through the county
from west to east, and its track is clear
ly marked.
1t is impossible to estimate the dam
age done, though it is known to be
very great. Beulae church was COM
pletely destroyed.

greatly increase the damage done by
the storm.

Stewart county, doing much damage.
The tornaCo of Monday night followed
almost exactly in the track Of that of
1896.

place-onions We're blown up by the
roots, also Irish potatoes and wheat;
onions not blown up had their tops
wrung oil. Wheat was beheaded,
leaving the stems so whipped and
fralled that it had turned to yellowish
color; some looked rs il II flood of
water had swept over it.
At Mr.. Collins negro woman was
killed. Seeing the storm coming she
fled from her cabin to reach the dwell
ling of Mr.. Collins; getting about half

down by timber, or u rock weighing
about four pounds, crushing the era
mum so that the brains ran out. a ne
gro man had his forearm broken; an
other received cash on the head.
Two other persons were slightly injur-
ed. Trees were completely stripped of
leaves as they fell those not blown
down by the roots We're blown of ut
