ST. LOUIS, April 27.-The Merchants Ex-
change relief committee have received so many
reports of the terrible destruction and disus-
ters occasiOned by the recent tornadoes in this
State, and have official advices from SO many
relief societies and prominent gentlemen in
the devastated districts, of the urgent need of
assistance for the sufferers, that they will
issue the following tomorrow morning and
ask place for it in the associated press report
To the charitably disposed people of the
United States: The recent cyclones which
passed over the western part of the State of
Missouri have brought death and ruin to hum
dreds of families, laid waste many thriving
towns and villages, and scattered to the wind
houses, stock and imp!emen of hundreds of
farmers. Recent adviees received by this COM
mittee show the destruction to be more fearful
than the pen can picture. Mark E. Nipher,
professor of physics, Washington university,
this city, and @. Shaler Smith, civil engineer,
who have just returned from an exploring tour
which covered the entire line of the two tor
nadoes in southwestern Missouri, in a report to
this committee, say that the half has not been
told.

distance of forty-six miles it cut an unbroken
swath from 1,500 to $4,000 feet wide. Men,
women and children were killed or crippled.
Horses, cattle, sheep and hogs are in similar
condition. Dwellings, fences and outhouses
not only levelled but blown away. Plows,
wagons reapers and other farming implements .
reduced to scrap iron and kindling wood, and
in many cases fields with growing crops are SO
covered with forest debris, or with mud or
sand, that much additional labor will be re-
quired to save what had been planted. No
houses or barns were left standing in the track
of the storms and farmers are entirely without
houses or implements with which to carry on
their farms.
Similar reports come from many other
sources and the demands upon the people for
assistance are very urgent. st. Louis is doing
all in her power tor the
RELIEF OF THESE UNFORTUNATE DISTRICTS,
but the call is great and cannot be supplied
in an adequate manner by the citizens of this
State alone. This committee, therefore in be-
half of the sufferers, appeal to the people of
this country, everywhere, to come forward and
assist in relieving the great distress of the
Southwest. The appeals from the fever stricken
cities of the South during
the last two summers were
not more urgent than this. This committee
will furnish information to any parties having
funds to forward to points needing assistance,
and will receive and disburse any money or
supplies sent here for this purpose.

THE KAsOTA MURDER.
Arrest of Mrs. Weisitar on Suspicion of
Hacing Killed Her Husband.
Mankato Review


Haeing KILLED Her Husband
lMankato Review.
When the murder of Weishar, near Ka-
sofa, was first announced, there was very
general suspicion that his wife knew more
about the murder that she was willing to
confess, and if she did not commit it her
self she knew who did do it. This sus-
picion was somewhat allayed by the
attempt to implicate Stacy, but Mrs. Welsh
ar's testimony was 80 undecided that the
suspicion against her was revived, she has
been arrested, and sufficient testimony has
already been ELECTED to hold her for
trial. Il now appears that a daughter
of Frank Mention, living neigh
bors to the Weishars, was at the latter house
on the Sunday of the murder, and Menton's
daughter has since said that Mrs. Weishaf
proposed to her to go off together and
start house of i'll fame. that she said
she was tired of living with her hus-
band, intended to kill him, and for that
purpose had bought pistol, which she
showed to the girl, saying that she had
tried it on board, she also said that she
would have killed him the preceding Satur-
day night, but two of the children were
awake. The girl says that on the Sunday
she was at Weiehar's the wife
gave her bottle and money to get some
whisky at Smiths, near by, but she was
ashamed to ask for it and broke the bot
tie going home. This information reach
ing the sheriff of Ls Sueur county, he ar
rested the woman. When confronted
with the charge she showed but little fear,
her countenance changing but slightly.
but when the officers, in order to draw her
out, told her some things the girl had
said, she swore fearfully, called the girl a
vile epithet, and said she would like to slash
her. She admitted she had said some things
as related by the girl, but it was in fun; in
fact she admitted about ell the girl said, ex-
cept where it implicated herself.
Subsequently the board at which the girl
said Mrs. Weishar fred was found; it
proved to be bread board, and had two
holes made by pistol balls,

FIRE RECORD.
Victims of the BufraIo Fire

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 19.-The fire which destroyed the wall paper factory of Messrs. Birge & Son on Friday night was more de- structive of human life than at first supposed. Already the dead and missing number eleven, besides nine who are more or less seriously injured. The badly charred remains of two of the victims were discovered yesterday, and are supposed to be those of the two Stout brothers. These remains were found by, accident, they lay near the sidewalk The origin of the fire is in doubt, but it is supposed to have taken from an overloaded journal over which the paper passed and be- coming ignited communicated to the chem icals, varnishes, paints and colorings used in making wall paper. It will be 8 severe loss to the Messrs. Birge & Son, as all the goods to be made by them up to March had been contracted for. Among the companies hold ing insurance on the stock and machinery of Birge & Son are the Orient of Hartford, $2,0O0; National of Hartford, $2,000; Mer- iden of Connecticut, $2,5OO. The total amount of insurance on the property of Birge & Son is $63, 300.

 LONDON, Dec 19.-The following is the text of Mr. Gladstone's letter in answer to that of MT. Boycott asking for government assistance
 "Mr CHARLES BOYCOTT:
 'tMr. Gladstone has reviewed your letter of the 8th inst. He desires me to say that he is not sure in what way he is to under stand your request for assistance from the government. It has been very largely afford ed you in the use of the public force Be- yond this 1t is the duty of the government to use its best exertions in the enforcement of existing law, which they are endeavoring to enforce through the courts, and by asking, when necessary, the assistance of the Legis- lature to amend or enlarge the law, is a mat ter of much importance on which you can, of course, only receive information together with the public generally.
 s'SRYMoUR, Private Secretary"
 
 -eLoyal farmers and traders in many coun- tries hitherto undisturbed are yielding very reluctantly to the pressure put upon them to join the Land League and to subscribe to its funds. In consequence of the refusal of Mir. Gladstone to assist Mir. Boycott the English public will be appealed to for aid A list of the committee will be published shortly which will organize subscription in aid of Mr. Boycott" The Times, in leading ed- itorial says :-tsThe governments last and un- necessary bIunder is MT. Gladstone's reply to MT. Boycott's demand for assistance by the government, which is conceived in a spirit that will provoke much dissatisfaction. Pub lie opinion cannot but be offended by the let ter, which is devoid of natural sympathy, and conceived in a spirit of pettishness against Mir. Boycott for having necessitated the em- ployment of troops. Unsatisfactory as the action of the government is, and unable as they are to agree we must still retain them, l if for no other reason than that we should mot change horses while crossing stream. It is to be hoped that they will brace them selves up when the time of legislation comes, however limp may be their attitude as an ex | ecutive government. The London core spondent of the Edinburg Scotsman says :- 1.-The dispatch of further troops to Ireland l has no reference to any expected popular out break The government have in view the use of military in those districts where the l magistrates declare they can no longer de pend on the police. The same course was I adopted in 1864.,,'

THE OLD WORLD.
Great Britain.
Awretched state of Affairs.


 LONDON, Dec. 19.-A Constantinople cor respondent says from Macedonia the most heartrending accounts of the condition of people continue to be received and the Turks there are carrying on system of extermina- tion differing only In degree from the havoc they wrought in Batak four years ago.. In America things have not improved whit, on the contrary they seem every day to be grow ing worse and worse. The central govern ment here is perfectly paralyzed and does nothing. Anarchy reigns complete every where and the poor people are ground down by exorbitant demands for money. Where this will all end no one can foretell, but as- suredly it cannot continue for very long time, the end must come some day. But if Europe does not interfere promptly to inn prove things it is too dreadful to think of what the consequences must be. The Turk ish government have never been free from corruption, but now it prevades all classes of officials from the highest to the lowest. The city is infested day and night by thieves and robbers and the police are united with them in plundering the people. There is perfect stagnation in business and the courts are little better than dens of thieves and extortioners. It has always been supposed the question will never be settled by the European powers, but the solution will have to be found by the na- tionalities which inhabit the empire. If war breaks out in the spring some terrible con- vulsions will be witnessed in the Balkan pe- ninsula, which will arouse Europe from it's indifference and force the powers to take action of some kind.

Then he proposes to strike cut from section [, PA the words a duty of one-quarter of two per cent. each half year upon the average amount of deposits, so that the section shall read: "In lieu of all existing taxes every banking association shall pay to the Treasurer of the United States on the months of January and July duty of one-half of one per centum each half year upon the average amount of its notes in cir culation, and duty of one-quarter of one per centum each half year upon the average amount of it's capital stock beyond the amount invested in United States bonds" In other words, capital is taxed, while deposits are to be relieved.
