CHICAGO, May ll.-Rev. DR.. Ii. W.
Thomas is quoted to-day as saying that
about year ago a club on the West
Side, composed Of many wealthy and
influential gentlemen, invited Spies,
Parsons, and Schwab to q conference.
They were invited by card, and pre-
caution was taken that nothing Of the
affair should get into the newspapers.
They came and we argued the question
fully with them. They were we'll post
ed, and at times made very violent as
sertions. Spies said that an Anarchist
was very different from any Irish dy-
uamitald. He laughed as he described
the attempt made on the British House
Of Parliament. He said that if the as
sailants had known their business they
would have placed better bombs there
but not that alone, they would have
placed them when We hall was crowded
with people.
1--WE have nothing personal against
you," he said, referring to the gentle
men present, but we want your pro-
perty. We do not believe in the de-
struction of property as a means of re-
form, but in the destruction Of life.
We need property" ~ believe Par
sons to be the worst one of the lot. |
believe he ought to be hanged" said
DR.. Thomas.
DR.. Thomas and other members of
bis club will very likely be subp@naed
by the State attorney in the prosecution
Of the Socialists now in prison.
The utterances of Schwab, Spies,
and Parsons upon the occasion referred
to will, it is thought, establish premed-
itation.

FATAL WIND.
A FEARFUL STORM SWEEPS OVER
KANSAS CITY, NO.
School Building Wrecked and Children
Killed-0ther Houses Demolished
and Lives Lost.
rBy t.legr.pn 70 the plspaton. I

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, May ia
fearful storm of wind and rain swept
over this city to-day, continuing from
ii O'Clock until noon. The court
house, on Second street, was totally de-
molished above the second story. The
Lathrop school building, on Eighth
street, was partially wrecked, and many
children were caught in the ruins. An
overall factory on Second street and the
old water-works building, near the
courthouse, were blown down. At the
Western Union telegraph-oflice but
one wire is working out Of the
city. Communication has been estab-
lished with St. Louis over that wire
by way of Dallas, Galveston, New
Orleans, and Memphis. One span at
The north end Of the railroad bridge
across the Missouri river was blown
into the river, blocking the Hannibal
and St. Joseph, Rock Island, Wabash
and Kansas City, st. Joe and Council
Bluffs roads. Eight girls have been
taken out Of the overall factory, four
of whom are dead. Many others are
in the ruins, but there is scarcely a
hope for their lives. In the confusion
il is impossible to ascertain definitely
the extent Of the calamity; but it is
said that over twenty employees are
imprisoned in the basement Of the fac
tory.
The disastrous fury of the storm
was confined to the north end Of the
city, except in the destruction Of the
Lathrop school building, on Eighth
street, and buildings generally, except
ing those mentioned, withstood the
fury of the storm. At p. NJ, as
nearly as can be learned amid the in
tense excitement and confusion, about
twenty persons are known to be dead.
At the Lathrop school building eleven
children are reported dead. Of the
four buildings wrecked all were more
or less unsound. The school building
has been twice condemned, and the
courthouse by many was considered
unsafe. No one was killed except in
these four houses. The storm, al
though entailiDg such heavy loss of
life, was nothing of the nature of the
tornado that visited the city three years
ago. 1t was violent wind, accom-
panied by flood Of water and some
hail, which turned many streets into a
river. Signs, shutters, and chimneys
were blown with the gale, and vehicles
overturned in the streets. The black
clouds that rolled over the city created
almost the darkness Of night, and made
timid ones crouch in terror in cellars.
The streets were entirely deserted, and
in some instances horses were seen wan
deIing about attached to vehicles and
seeking refuge from the pelting storm.

A WILD WESTERN STATESMAN WITH
ABIG HOBBY.
The Races Disappointed virginians--rhs
Court Of Claims Asking for More

From our Regular Correspondent. ]

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May ll.--So far as
general interest is concerned in its mea-
sures, Congress seems to have stagnated.
The House had for . special order a
bill to settle private land-clsims in
New Mexico, Arizona, aud Colorado,
and Mr.. Symes, Of the latter State, who
has more or less of hobby Of the sub
ject, made a speech in favor Of the bill.
Symes is one OF those wild western
statesmen that occasionally graduate
from the I" deestrict school," who with
good lungs and hard cheek can carry
all before them. The bill was passed
after two hours consideration, and the
army appropriation bill was taken up.
The races at Ivy City have attracted
quite large number Of virginians to
the city, who were greatly disap-
pointed at the bad weather prevailing
to-day. Among others here are
Messrs. James Skinner and Douglas
Ty Ter, of Fauquier county.
The Court Of Claims is knocking at
the doors Of Congress for double-up
on the appropriation for the expenses OF
its business. Last year the court was
allowed $4,000, and this time $50, 900
is asked. The excuse for this increase
is found in the reference Of the French
spoliation claims to the court, and the
additional business brought to it by the
Bowman act. There are $500 cases
now pending, involving upwards OF
10000, 900, while il is estimated that
the present Congress will add 5000
more cases to the list. From all ap-
pearances and from the outcropping OF
oratory on the floors Of Congress it
would appear that the Government has
been very successful in avoiding the
payment Of the claims of its citizens
by hook or crook" if not by legal
means, and it does not seem that more
money is required to defend the Gov
eminent on this impregnable point.
The Secretary of the Interior also is
asking, in the name Of cleanliness,
1000 for the Hot-Springs Reserva-
ton, Arkansas. lie complains that
the major part Of 100000 gallons OF
hot water is going to waste every day
because the springs are on lower alti-
tude than the bath. houses, and to remedy
this and renovate the nation, il neces-
sary, it is proposed to pipe and pump
this water up the mountain and let it
run down again at an expense of s3l,-
600. The other $50 600 is to be used
in reconstructing the sewer for the
benefit of the hospital.
