TERRIBLE TEMPEST.

On last Tuesday afternoon a terrific
tornado suddenly visited the city Of
Rochester, Minnesota. completely de-
Wasting nearly one-third Of the city.
Full particulars have not been received,
but so far as known 26 persons were
killed, and upward of so others seri-
ousIy injured, some probably fatally;
$50 houses were destroyed. The scene
of terror and suffering is beyond de-
scription. But the terrible destructive
ness Of the storm was by no means
confined to the city of Rochester; it is
reported the whole region of country
between Rochester and Zumbrota
presents a scene of desolation, and the
number of persons killed may reach
1OO A train of cars running at great
speed between Rochester and ZumbrO-
ia, containing 100 passengers, was
struck by the tornado, lifted from the
trick and dashed into fragments. The
tornado also struck central Wiscon-
sin, doing great damage. Want of
time before going to press precludes
giving further accounts of the de-
struction of life and property in other
towns in Minnesota and central Wis
consin by the terrible storm on Tues
day afternoon and evening.

THE STRIKE.

The telegraph operators strike is
practically ended, although in some To-
calities the strikers are still holding
out. This result will hardly be sur
prise to those who have been mere
lockers on. It would have been next
to a miracle if body of men, however
respectable or numerous, with only
slender means, could have engaged in
a contest with one of the most power
full monopolies in America and have
been successful. But there is now
future at hand which will invite pub
tic attention. The organization known
as the Postal Telegraph Company,
which has heretofore been waiting for
lack of means to go forward, has re-

of dividends among stockholders, the
transmission of messages would be at
the lowest possible rates, and the
strikes of operators avoided.
