A Terrific StOrm-De of Prop
 erty and Life.
 KANSAS CIrY, April 4.-At late hour Fri day night terrible cyclone burst over the town Of Ottawa, located on the line of the Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern railroad, in Kansas, tearing down trees, demolishipg houses blowing cars from the track and wounding large number of people. The day had been excessively warm for this season of the year, and about o'clock dark clouds gathered in the west and northwest, and soon 1t wes seen that severe thunder storm was to take place. The lightning was very vivid, and just before the rain began to fall the cyclone came from the west. Itdemolished seven houses on Elm street, then seemingly bounced over a space of about four hunered feet, and then struck the Kansas, Lawrence and Southern freight house, unroofng the structure and damaging it badly. The wind then spent it self along the river, uprooting trees and over turning cars on it's way. Two passenger coaches attached to the south bound train on the Ksnsas City road were blown from the rails and several passengers injured, one of them, named Parton, it is feared fatally. After crossing the river the wind seemed to turn half about and pass toward the northeast. Late reports state that large amount of stock was killed by the storm. Among the people injured near Ottawa and in the city, are Char ley Block, 8 seven year old boy, killed Mrs. Henry Block, wounded in back H. F. Berier and family, all wounded by being driven across the street with the timbers of their house :; Mrs. A. H. Baldwin, John Maskill, Peter Hay den and Thomas Sullivan. It is thought the last two will die.

CHICAGO, April 4.-General W. T. Sher- man, accompanied by Colonel Joseph O.. Audenried. one of his aides, arrived in this city yesterday morning from Washington. In an interview the General said he came here to have conference with Lieutenant General Sheridan, whom hs had not seen for some three months. The object of their talk wEs to consider the placing of the army for the coming summer. These plans were frequently made from six to eight months ahead. General Sherman said he did not anticipate any trouble with the Indians this summer, but the object was to prevent troubles if possible There was good deal to be con- sidered in the locating of the troops to make it as convenient as possible for officers and men, and also to protect the peace and safety of the country. There were no troops at present stationed in the Southern States. The army was small, but he was satisfied with it. if it was left alone. The trouble was when there was a difficulty with the Indians the sol diers were only called after the mischief vas done. They should have power to prevent the mischies and trouble. With the forces at his command the general said he would do the best he could.
