An Unofficial Statement.
Washington Post.
Envoy Sedgwick's explanation does not
explain. What with Porch, Col. Porter,
Col. West, and "a public meeting in the
City of Mexico" affirming the charges OF
drunkenness, with specification, he cannot
ignore the allegations any longer, nor
plead that he is too busy to answer them.
He must do something by way of specific
proof, or he must retire. Where is his

A GREAT TELESCOPE.

AIvan Clark's Growing W0rk-Bringing
the Moon Within "a Hundred Miles.
The largest refracting telescope in
the world is now in process Of construc-
ton in the modest workshop of the
venerable Alvan Clark, the eminent
tclescope-maker, in Henry street, Cam
bridgeport, Boston. The two disks of
glass 90 to form the lens Of the great
Lick telescope which will be placed i'm
the observatory on the peak of Mt.
Hamilton, a bequest Of the California
millionaire, James Lick. These two
circular glasses are valued at so, 900
each, and If destroyed they could not
be duplicated within the next six
months for millions of dollars. The
disks were east in Paris, the order
being given five years ago, but the fall
ures were 50 numerous that they were
not received by Messrs. Clark until
last September. When finished the
lens will be thirty-six inches in dame
ter, six inches wider than the one they
recently completed for the Russian Gov
ernment. Since receiving the blocks last
September, Mr.. Clark and his sons have
been constantly ut work upon them,
but they do not expect 10 have them

ing the disks has reached that stage
where the removal Of a few grains
more or less from the wrong place
would ruin them The only instru-
ment used is the hand smeared with
rouge, a polishing substance finer than
the finest emery.
Some idea of the power Of the instru-
ment may be gained from the state
ment recently made by an astronomer,
that gazing at the moon, 30 900 miles
away, that orb by this telescope Will
be brought to within less than one
hundred miles from the eve Of the be-

OF age. He and his wife on March 25
celebrated the siXtieth anniversary OF
their wedding. He was born in ASH
field, Mass, and brought up a farmer
boy, bat his self-taught skill gained him
q situation as an engineer, at the age of
twenty-five, in a Lowell calico mill.
Ten years later he had become a minia-

A Similar Disaster In Iowa.

OMAHA, Neb., April 15.-A special to
the Bee, from Panama, Ia, says:
A cyclone yesterday afternoon at 4 $50
O'Clock, struck the town of Coon Rapids
and completely demolished most of the
place One boy was killed and numerous
persons were injured. Twenty-Five
houses, two churches, one school-house
and several business houses were de-
stroyed A freight train, except the
locomotive, was blown from the
track and demolished and
the contents ruined. The cyclone
swep over Western Iowa, doing consider
able damage. 1t is supposed the cyclone
started about three miles east of Girls
void, and then passed north and slightly
east, then going about nine miles south
east to Atlantic, passed two and half
miles east of Brayton. The cyclone had
the appearance of funnel-shaped cloud.
Southeast of Atlantic, about four miles,
Henry Rogers house was blown away,
and his hired man was badly injured.
Jno. Kinks big stable, 800 feet long, was
destroyed, together with his horses.
In Benton township ten houses were
totally destroyed and one woman fatally
injured Near Brayton the dwellings Of
Jos. Reynolds and William and Donald
Brittner were destroyed and also the
Brittner school-house. The pupils es-
capped, however, by running with the
family into Brittner's cave or cyclone
cellar, they having seen the cloud com
ing Mr. Northgraves, in that vicinity,
was dangerously hurt Much stock has
been killed. Reports from the cyclone
are very meager so far, but it is believed
that great damage has been done and
many lives lost.
