ceed two minutoe, but the rain contin-
ued to fall some time after the cyclone
passed. The velocity Of the wind was
estimated at $50 miles per hour. Dur
its prevalence the air was filled with
flying roofs, windows, doors, lumber,
rails, clothing, etc. Much of the debris
was carried more than a mile away.
Thirteen persons were killed outright
and many others will undoubtedly die.
Several are reported missing, and are
probably buried in the ruins. 1t being
a rainy day, many farmers were here
from the country; court also was in
session, which brought many people to
the city. Men, women and children
were blown a distance of 400 feet as IL
they were feathers. The best part Of
the town is destroyed, and seventy
families are homeless, and much dis
tress is anticipated. The search for
bodies still continues.
St. Louis, June "a Republican
special gives the names of twelve
persons killed in the cyclone, and says
two of the wounded have since died,
but their names are not given. The
names of most Of the seriously wound
ed are as follows: b. Kicker, Thomas
Stone, a child of Thomas Higbee ia
tally, John Fennis fatally, the wife of
Charles Burton probably mortally, Mrs.
Dueren fatally, and NJ. J. Habberton
and Robert Parkins, both old men,
probably will survive.

posed intentions in connection with
Turkey when lie reached Adrianople.
He has not as yet arrived at that city.
The Turks, in the meanwhile, do not
say anything about what they intend
doing, but go ahead and generally man.

Both sides, however, as yet, have sue
ceeded in accomplishing nothing of any
very great strategic Importance in the
war, and are about as far off from their

Details OF the Loss of the San Fran
cisco.
San Francisco, June "a court of
inquiry, consisting of U. S. inspector of
hulls and boilers, and Il. b. Williams,
agent Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
convened to-day, to investigate the Cir
cumstances attending the loss of the
City of San Francisco. Captain Wad-
dell and First Officer Bull were exam
ined. The testimony developed but
few facts in addition to previous re-
ports. At 8 o'clock, one hour and
eighteen minutes before the ship struck,
the captain obtained her position by So
lar observation, and the bearing of
landmarks and course steered carried
her from our and a half to six miles
southwest of Tartar shoal, the tide
ebbing. The ~chronometer was tested
before leaving Panama. The Chinese
crew acted well, considering that they
did not understand Eeglish, and had to
be addressed through an interpreter.
The captain thought them inferior to
white men, and should not be employed
as q crew. Mr.. Bull, first officer, join
ed the captain on the bridge at 8
o'clock; saw the water breaking about
two points on the starboard bow, ap-
parently not connected with the line of
breakers running to land, as there was
smooth water inside; knew about the
ships position ut s O'Clock that morn
ing, but not exactly; the second officer
took the observations that morning.
The testimony as to the handling of
the vessel after striking, measures for
landing the people, etc. are the same
rs previously published. Ore Of the
steerage passengers, now in the city,
reiterates previously mentioned state
ments of bad behavior and want Of
discipline among the Chinese. in con
tradictiou of other statements.

tice, to the projects, which instructs
them to revise all licenses for hawking

tit agents, who offer proper guarantees
to act in accordance with these instruc-

any person who, in cafes and other pub
lie places, spread false reports calculat-
ed to disturb the public tranquility.
This is in some respects as it should be,
but after all, the order teammates from
MacMahou, and fully reveals his sinis-
ter intentions in relation TO the better
government of France, that with him
simply means Napoleonism.

THERE is nothing astonishing in the
dispatch from Rustchuk, which states
that the gunners who destroyed the
Russian boats must have been other
than Turkish. They were English
men, and John Bull putting money in
the hands of Hobart Paslla was not a
bad cartoon for Punch to publish rela-
tive to the existing state of affairs In
Turkey, for Hobart Pasha represents
England and her interests in this war,
and the money that he receives is paid
to these Hessians in the Turkish service
to do England's will.

The Destructive Track of the Tornado

Thu Destructive Track Of the Tornado.
Cincinnati, June 5.-Mount Carmel,
H., which was struck by the tornado
last evening, is. q thriving town of
about three thousand inhabitants, on
the Cairo & Vincennes railroad. The
most prominent buildings destroyed by
the hurricane were, the court house,
two newspaper offices, three churches
one of them the finest in Southern Illi-
nois-two school houses, and about
twenty business houses. About one
hundred residences were destroyed or
damaged, either by wind or fire. The
loss is estimated at half a million dol
lars. The same storm damaged num-
Der of buildings in other towns lying in
its pathway. At Nation, ILL.,, the
residence of Willis Walkup was thrown
into the street and turned bottom side
up, wounding Mrs. Walkdp seriously.
Cincinnati, June 5.-The CONNER

disaster at Mount Carmel, Ill. A ter
rible tornado passed owe the town
about $3.50 O'Clock last evening, which
struck the town at the south end of
Cheny street, and passed almost due
north, taking in about one square east
and west, destroying almost everything
in its course.
Twenty-Five dead bodies have been
found thus far. The damage to prop
erty is estimated at a hundred thous-
and dollars. The fire was finally sub
dued after six hours steady work by
the firemen. There are many wounded,
whose names cannot now be ascer-
tanned. The estimate of losses cannot
now be determined, as a number of
farmers were in from the country whose
teams are scattered among the debris.
Physicians were brought from Carnia
and adjoining towns by special train to
assist in caring for the wounded.

Washington, June 5.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day, it was decided to ap-
point Thomas B. Bryan, formerly OF
Chicago, but for several years past a
resident Of this city, commissioner for
the District of Columbia, vice Gen. j.
H. Ketchum, resigned. No other APP
pointments were determined upon.
Most of the session was occupied by
discussion upon needed reforms in the
customs revenue service, and the Gus
toms revenue service, and the most ad-
visable means to be adopted for the pur-
pose of carrying out such reforms. Va
rious reductions in the offices of u. s.
marshals throughout the country were
also discussed, with a view to reducing
expenses in this branch of the public
service. - ~

- far q can DO judged, the fortunes q
war will be adverse to the Turks. The
operations may not have the rapidity Of
recent wars. but the Turks are over
matched and must succumb in the end.
This catastrophe Europe will accept,
and no nation will go to war again to
support that which can't be supported.
No real statement will cling to the dead

to its living forces, for we know that
