A NOBLE ORDER.

Midst the confusion that prevailed and
while the first flush of horror was yet
upon all the survivors in the desolat e
towns stricken by the cyclones resistleSs
force, there was little time to note indI-
vidual heroism. Now. that the mind looks
back with shuddering awe upon the scene,
examples of devotion. bravery and self-sae-
riiice stand forth as bright lights against a
dark and horrible background. While yet
the tornado had hardly spent its fatal fury,
while the means of the wounded and
dying still rang out appealingly upon the
evening air black-robed figures could be
seen fitting about, now aiding in releasing
some poor sufferer from mass of debris,
now murmuring prayer with the dying,
again soothing, as tender woman can, the
anguish of those afflicted with greater than
bodily pain. Here there and everywhere
they went rendering aid as yalua-
BILE as it was prompt and ae-
ceptable. These forms clothed In
garments which seemed a mourning hue,
fitting the scene of awful desolation, were
the noble sisters of the Order of st. BENE-
DICT. Almost the first TO come forward.

shipping Supplies.

The city hall presented busy scene all
day yesterday. Besides being headquarters
for all committee work connected with the
relief, it was the general depot for sup
plies, and was alterDatively filed and
emptied. The patrol wagons were kept in
constant motion, collecting and bringing in
goods, which were transpOrtedlto the depot
and shipped as rapidly as carload lots
were made up. Provisions. clothes, tenants
and bedding were the principle articles and
their collection was easily made, as no re-
fusals met the soliciting committees. The
first train took out heavy car and others
were sent at intervals until o'clock. when
the fourth was started. To-day there will
be more of them, as goods come in rapidly
last night, and by 9 o'clock to-day the
finance committee will have great sum of
money at its disposal. All donations may
be sent to the city hall, or any donor may
send in his address and goods will be called
for.

TORNADOEs AND CYCLONES.
A Signal Service Officiai Tells How
They Are FOreseen.

hey Arc OreSSens
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Lieut. John
P. Finley of the signal service, who has
given the subject of tOrnadoes and cyclones
careful study for several years past, is ae-
lively engaged in gathering all information
possible with reference to the tornado at
ST. Cloud. 1t was no cyclone, he said to
the GLOBE correspondent. as it is generally
claimed. In fact cyclones never occur i'm
that part of the country. They only origi-
nate at sea, and are seldom felt on land,
except near the coast.
what have your investigations of lorna
does shown as to the possibility of foretelling
their coming or of avoiding the destruction
of life and property by them?''
Their coming can only be told by actual
observation and through knowledge of these
storms. What mean to say is they form so
quickly that system of signals can't give
warning of their coming. 1t could, however,
educate people 10 know by their own observa
ing, and how destructive or life
and valuables by them may be
existed. These storms are possessed of the
following prominent characteristics: The
general direction OF the movement Of tor
nado is invariably from point in the south
west quadrant to point in the northeast
quadrant. A tornado cloud assumes the
form of n funnel, small at the end drawing
near or resting upon the earth. This cloud
and the air beneath it revolve about central
vertical axis, with inoonceivable rapidity, and
always In the direction contrary to the move

ENGLISH VS.. AMERICA

ENGLISH VS.. AMERICAN IDEAS.
1t is coincidence that might occur at
any time, still. it is somewhat singular that
the very evening the people of ST. Paul
were assembled in mass meeting, giving an
expression of sympathy and support to the
GLADSTONE measure for home rule i'm
Ireland, there should have been a mass
meeting of the English aristocracy in Lon
don denouncing the same measure. 1t
serves at least to bring into view
more distinctively in their several lights
the American and English ideas of govern
ment The English idea was defined i'm the
speech of Lord SALISBURY, who objected
to the GLADSTONE measure because it re-
Taxed the grasp of centralized power. And
for the very same reason American SYM
patty Is enlisted in support of GLAD
STONES policy. 1t proposes to decentralize
power and to restore it to those TO whom it
naturally belongs. 1t embodles the very
same principle that inspired the American
colonies to revolution, and which firmly
imbedded itself In the American constitu-
ton. 1t is the principle which
became fundamental in the constitution of
the Democratic party under the leadership
of JEFFERSON when the Federalsts under
HANnLroN's dietation undertook to give an
Anglican construction to the federal consti-
tuition. The Federallsts gave expression to
the English idea in the famous alien and
sedition laws, while the American idea
found cOunteraeting expression in the
equally famous JEFFERSON resolutions of
'9s. The principle announced in the Ken
lucky and Virginia resolutions of 1898 is
precisely the same principle which under
lies the GLADSTONE policy of to-day-a
recognition of the right of home rule. Thus
it is explained why Irish Americans are
Democrats and why American Democrats
sympathlze with the Irish cause. Both
stand on the same platform.
