The Hurricane in Ohio.

CINCINNATI, June 30.-From all parts of the
State come reports of devastation. AT Spring
field the storm came at o'clock a. m. Among
the losses is portion of the fair ground build
ings. A carpenter on ladder on new honse
was blown to the ground and suffered fatal
injuries. At Columbus the roof of Timm's
car works was blown off, and the east end of
the building blown down. The Panhandle
road house ana the scraper works were also
badly damaged. Advices from points in the
northwestern part of the State tell the same
story of destruction to roofs, trees, fences and
crops. At Lancaster the damage was very
severe in the south part of the city. The
freight depot of the Muskegon Valley road
had the roof blown down and part of the wall
blown in. The roof and one side of the round
house of the same road were also destroyed.
The whole top of the large building of the
Hooking Valley Manufacturing Company was
torn off, and part of the wall blown in A
large frame building of Michael O'Garra, just
being rooted, was completely wrecked. At
Marietta nine little girls in swimming in a
floating bath narrowly escaped drowning, the
bath-house being blown to pieces.

THE HENLEY REGATTA,
The Cornell University Crew Badly
Beaten.

Beaten.
LONDON, June 30-In the first heat OF the
race for the visitors challenge cup the first
Trinity College crew of Cambridge defeated
the third Trinity College crew of Cambridge.
The Henley course is a little over q mile and
a quarter long.
In the race for silver goblets for pairs, the
first heat was easily won by the London Club
crew pair, defeating French pair. The
Hereford College crew pair, who had the
Berks station, were out of the race before
Poplar Point was reached in the second heat
In the race for the diamond sculls for scull-
ers, Lowndes Of the Hereford College College,
who is to row in the race for the stewards cup,
defeated his two opponents, who are members
of the London Rowing Club. In any event y
days rowing shows that the Americans will
have to contend with all the best men at the
regatta.
The first heat in the race for the stewards
cup was won by the Thames Club crew by
length they having the Berks station. The
London Club crew came in second, four
lengths ahead of the Cornell University crew,
who finished third. A message received from
Henley just before tho start for the first heat
for tho stewards cup says: "All the Ameri-
cans are well, but the wind as we'll as their
station are unfavorable. Unfortunately, the
new and lighter boat which was expected a
week ago only arrived this morning, and is
consequently unavailable. Local opinion,
however, fayors the American chances The
Henley stewards have shown marked courtesy
to the Americans. Mr.. Gillig was admitted TO
the umpire's boat, which was unable to ac-
commodate members of the British press Mr..
Gillig will entertain the Cornell crew at din
ner on the 4th of July.
The time of the winning crow of the first
heat for the visitors challenge cup was min
utes and SO seconds. From comparison of
the various accounts it appears that the Cor
nell crew were in front for half the distance of
the course and it appears the boats were closer
together at the finish than stated in first ac-
counts, sCornell's being from two to three
lengths behind the London Club crew.
1t is stated the Cornell University crew is
confident of beating the Hartford College crew
in the four-oared race, Saturday

LONDON. June 30.-In the Commons to-day
it was announced that the government has no
information relative to the mission to Ireland
which it is reported private secretary OF
President Garfield recently undertook for the
purpose of obtaining information as to the
Irish American element in that country.
Lord Granville said that of course if Presi-
dent Garfield had sent secret mission to
England he (the secretary was not bound to
know it, but ne might say he had very good
reason to believe the report totally unfounded.

Appeal to Irish Voters in Great Britain.
LONDON, June 30.-Messrs. Parnell, T. P.
O'Connor and Mccarthy have issued an ap-
peal to the Irish electors of Great Britain,
stating that there is scarcely town in which
Irish exiles may not do something to advance
the Irish cause. The action of the ministry
and of the Liberal members of Parliament
makes an organization of the Irish voters more
necessary than ever Several Liberals, who
are SIlOSG dru0uG III INC cause OF coercion,
would not be in Parliament but for Irish elect
ors, and the latter may have any day an op-
portunity of repaying the treacherous ingrati-
tude of several of the Liberals as it deserves,
and this can only be done by thorough organi-
cations of the Irish voters

THE DOTEREL EXPLOSION.

An Eyewitness Narrative Of the Event.
VIENNA, June 30.--A letter from Punta
Arenas, dated Tuesday, April Goth, gives the
following interesting particulars:
The English gunboat Doterel anchored in
the roadsted. A few minutes afterwards the
captain of the port and health officers visited
the ship and were received by Commander
Evans. At ten the captain and doctor return
cd on shore, and five minutes afterwards ter
rible explosion shook all the houses in the
place, causing profound panic. An immense
column of smoke was seen in the bay which
remained immovable on account of the perfect
calm which reigned. In the air, far above the
smoke and in the dense smoke itself, could be
seen objects of different forms and sizes and
an infinite number of projectiles were thrown
in all directions in the bay. Boats Immediate
Iy put out, but only eleven persons were
found alive, including Commander Evans, the
quartermaster and nine others; They were
carefully attended by the inhabitants. The
boats picked up large quantities of pieces of
human bodies which were brought on shore.
Only three dead bodies were found floating
intact. The remains were buried with military
honors. The Doterel blew up at 10.15 a. m.
almost instantly, The cause of
catastrophe is not possible to determine.

Dies MONIES, June 30.-The platform adopt
ed by the Republican State convention last
