THE SOUTHERN TORNADO.
Reports from Many Points Not Be
fore Heard From.
Upward of Two Hundred and Fifty Lives
Lost and Five Hundred Injured
Sad Scenes of Desolatiou.


Special to Chicago Tribune.
1t is almost impossible to picture the terri
bic distress and desolation that have fallen
upon Wesson and Beauregard, the latter sui
fering total destruction. The most sorrowful
and pitiful incidents surround one on every
side. Children parentless and homeless,
mothers whose little ones we're torn from
their arms, husbands seeking wives and fam
lies-al presents a scene that is heartrending
in the extreme. The excitement has, of
course, not yet abated, but in the midst of it
all there is a good and noble work
being done for the unfortunate and
wounded Everything that can be
suggested for the immediate relief
of the sufferers is being done, but help is
greatly needed in the way of food, money
and clothing. A number of persons were
badly injured by flying timbers, and it is
greatly feared the death-list will be increased
in consequence. Special trains have arrived,
bringing physicians and nurses. and there is
no lack of ready hands and willing hearts to
succor and relieve the injured.

The German Parliament Rejects a Motion for
Removal of Church Restrictions.

Removal of Church Restrictions.
BERLIN, April 25.--The Polish portion of
the Progressist and Secessionist members of
the Chamber of Deputies will support the
motion of Windthorst for the removal of re-
strictions on the celebration of mass. Wind
thorst's motion was discussed to day. The
Minister of Worship dwelt upon the concili-
atory disposition of the government, which
the motion tended to impede. The wishes OF
the government were in harmony with the
motion, although there were differences of
detail. A note from the Vatican was re-
ceived last week. To this Bismarck, in &C
cord with the government, prepared reply,
now before the Emperor. 1t is hoped an I'M
Outstanding between Prussia and the Vatican
will be thus possible.
After six hours debate, Wlndthorst's mo
ton was rejected-229 to 1856. A conserva-
tive motion expressing the hope that the gov
eminent would, when negotiating with the
Vatican make it appear advisable, to proceed
to make an organic revision of the May laws,
was adopted-209 to 154-despite Won
Gosser's declaration that the motion tended
to prejudice diplomatic action.

Two Hundred and Fifty Lives Lost.

New ORLEANS, April 25-Reports from va
rious points go to show that the destruction
OF life and property by the cyclone of Sun
day was much greater than at first supposed.
There will be still many places heard from
remote from railroad or Geographic commu-
nication, which will go to swell the aggregate
in both particulars. To the present time, not
less than $50 deaths and upward of 500 per-
sons more or less injured have been noted.
The scenes of individual suffering cannot be
adequately described.
The Picayune's Beauregard special says
reports from Georgetown somewhat modi-
fed the previous report of killed. Governor
Lowry received postal card from George
town which gave the number OF killed
at about eighteen. John Crawford, wife
and five children, and John Savage, are
known to be killed, and Rev. Mr..
Lewis believed to be fatally injured. At
Beasey's settlement Mrs. Ford and several
children were killed. and great damage done.
At Beauregard twelve white and five colored
persons were killed. There were Ill stores,
churches and public buildings within
the corporate limits of Beauregard, and not
building of any pretensions remains. Miss
Georgia Mitchell, who was killed, had 5000
III money and 81, 200 in jewelry blown away.
A sign from Beauregard was blown twenty
nine miles, and papers were found sixty-6ve
miles away"
A Wesson special SAYS: 1.-THE excitement
has abated but little. A crowd comes from
all quarters, and the road between the two
towns is thronged all day with ladies and
children visiting the ruins. The Beauregard
and Wesson mills resumed to-day, with only
quarter of the operatives at work. There
were no additional deaths to-day. The
wounded are doing WELL except ten
or fifteen gangrene cases, five
of which are thought to be
fatal. Contributions are coming in fast.
They should be sent to the mayor of Beaure
gard. L. E. Bridewell, is chairman of
the committee. c. E. Lapkins, re-
ported dead, is still alive. Ee had
$4,000 in a trunk blown away. w. E.
Cox telegraph operator, while at the instru-
ment, had both legs and both arms broken,
and also received severe scalp wound. He
still lives in his room in the hotel, amid the
wreck; the fraternity are sending him con-
tributions. Crowds of negroes refuse to work,
and steal from the ruins"

An Act of Clemency by the Much-Threatened
Gear of Russia.
VIENNA, April 25.-The Nihilists here are
highly gratifed tonight by information just
received from a trustworthy source at ST.
Petersburg that the Gar has decided to COM
mute the sentences of all the Nihilists now in
prison under sentence of death, and to par
don large number of others who have been
sentenced to various terms of imprisonment
One report says that this act of clemency on
the part of the Gar is only carrying out the
traditions of the emperors of Russia, who
have always upon their coronation, released
prisoners and done many other acts OF char
ity and mercy. A dispatch however, from
well-informed parties at st. Petersburg, who
are familiar with the recent NihiliStic move
ments, says that this concession by the Gar
is due undoubtedly to the extent and mys-
teriousness of the Nihilistic activity, and the
fear entertained by the Gar that he would
meet his fathers fate.
A Berlin dispatch says: Several officers
of the Russian army will soon take their trial

Later she made acquaintance with an officer
of the Mingrelian regiment, in whose home
she took up herresidence, and soon succeeded
in CARING over several other officers of the
same regiment to the revolutionary cause.
On Prince Krapotkines arrest some letters
were found among his papers, written in
Russian, but the signature in cypher only.
Recently the Russian police, to whom the
documents were delivered by the French
authorities, discovered their meaning The
result was the arrest OF five or six officers of
the Mingrelian regiment. Their trial will be
conducted with the greatest secrecy and dis
patch, and two, if not more, will, it is
thought be sentenced to DEATH"

The Jury in Kelly's Second Trial Fail to
Agree, and Is Discharged.
DUBLIN, April 25.-The trial of Kelly,
charged with participating in the Phoenix
Park murders, was continued this morning.
The judge in summing up the evidence
taken, spoke m ost strongly against the pris-
oner's claim of an alibi. The jury, after
being out a short time, returned and an
nounced that they were unable to agree on
q verdict. The jury were sent back to recon-
slider their verdict, but after returning the
fourth time and reporting that they could
not agree, were discharged.
The trial of Michael Fagin, charged with
the murder of Burke then began. Fagin
pleaded not guilty Adams aud ]. O'Berne
were assigned to defend him. There was
great difficulty in forming a jury; seventy
five of the called failed to make their ap-
pearance and were fined f10O each.
James Cary, the informer, was called to
the stand, and testified that he had arranged
to stab ex-Secretary Forster after the plots
to shoot him failed. He said he did not at
tend the meetings of the Assassination
Society on Sunday on account of Sabbatarian
Scruples He declared that even now he
wished to remove tyrants, and said he be-
lieved it was no sin to kill Burke.

PETROLEUM IN TURKEY.


Il DCneh6 Lnat SaVOrS OF
Wallace's Protest.
New York Herald.
Our Constantinople correspondent says that
the petroleum question that has lately arisen
between the United States legation and the
Porte is still unsettled. The matter in dis
pute is the great increase in the depot charges
recently instituted by the authorities at Con-
stantinople, which virtually amounts to the
imposition of higher import duty than that
sanctioned by the commercial treaties Owing
10 the prevalence of fires it was decided some
years ago that petroleum dealers should only
be allowed to keep small portion of their
stock in hand at Constantinople, the bulk
being slowed away IN depots provided by the
government at place on the Bosphorous
called Pashabagtche. The charge for rent
was fixed at fifty paras case (about five
centsl one and half per cent or so on its
selling value. No one grumbled very much
at this. although it was soon seen that the
arrangement was bringing very handsome
return for any outlay connected with the
establishment of the said storehouses. The
authorities however, now insist upon the
payment of 100 paras case-just double the
amount OF the old charge-on the plea of the
greater security afforded by the erection of
new buildings for storing the material If
this tax-for it is nothing less-told upon all
petroleum alike, General Wallace would
hardly have such fair ground for complaint
as he has, for surely the municipal authori-
ties, with the sanction of the Porte. may levy
a charge upon the consumption of petroleum
II such a proceeding be deemed necessary
lor increasing the meager revenues at their
disposal
Unfortunately, however, it is only Ameri-
can petroleum that will suffer as the source
OF supply being so far off the article neces-
sarily arrives at Constantinople in large con-
slgnnents. which have to be stored until
their absorption in the local market. Russia
ana Roumania. which have lately commence
ed competing with the United States for the
supply of this mineral oil, are both close al
hand, and it is easy for the dealers so to ar
range that no larger quantity shall be re-
eeiyed in any one consignment than can be

BELGRADE April 25.-The trial of Helen
Markovitch, the woman who tried to shoot
King Milan as he was going into the cathe-
dral here, has concluded. She was promptly
convicted of attempting the life of the
King, and sentenced to death 1t is thought
probable that King Milan will commute the
sentence to Imprisonment for life, in view of
the fact that her conduct ever since her in
generation, and especially her recent des-
perate attempt at suicide, make it almost
certain that she is insane.
