Irons Against Powderly.

Martin Irons in an interview states that
he has received thousands of letters from
Knights Of Labor all over the United States,
asking him to be q candidate for Mr.. Pow
derly's place. "If the Knights desire should
take the place." says -ons, II would accept
and esteem 1t great .onor" He says he
will be heard from at the next general con-
vention and that he will fight the attempt of
Powder'y and the Executive Board to legis>
vested in the General Master Workman aud
the Board. He still believes that every Dis
trict Assembly should control Its own busi-
ness, and is opposed to the Capitalization Of
power in the Executive Board.
Irons says he has been made scapegoat of
by Powderly and others, and he proposes to
right himself. He said that Pow derby had
acted mighty queer and that his conduct
in ignoring him Qrons) was very discourte-
Gus, and not that Of a gentleman He init,
mates that no attempt has been made by the
Executive Board to freeze him out of the
order, but that it can't be done while he has
the backing of the entire order of the west
He believes the Knights could have won if
the strike had not been declared off. He
says:
AT present, the prospects are very blue for
the return of the men. 1t is costing the
Knights Of Labor organization a great deal
more money tie support these meu than it did
to keep on the strike. In East st. Louis the
roads, I understand, have taken back quite
a number of the Strikers. The boys seem to
fare better there than on this side.'

THE TRACK OF THE CYCLONE
Late Estimates Place the Deaths at
Fifty and the Injured at
Five Hundred.

Reports from that section of the State Of
Ohio swept by the tornado Friday night, are
coming in very slowly. The loss of life, it is
thought, will not be as large as at first feared
though owing to the peculiar course of the
storm and the wide extent of territory ira
versed it is difficult to collect reliable infor-
nation from all points.
A fair estimate of the number killed places
it at 50, while not less than 500 persons were
more or less injured, some of them fatally
and many very severely. The tornado ap-
pears 10 have originated near Anderson, Inc
and swept through seven counties in Ohio,
terminating in the central portion of Seneca
county, forming path about ITO miles in
length, and varying from quarter Of a mile
to mile in width. Like most tornadoes it
skipped bits of country here and there, some
times ploughing along on the surface for four
or five or more miles, then ascending to come
down again further on. 1t is impossible, Of
course, to give any accurate figures regards
ing the loss of property. Much Of the dam
ege consists in the destruction.of crops and
timber and washing away of arabic lands,
and no one is competent to place the real
money valuation on this sort of property.
Seneca county reports the loss to buildings
and live stock, $1,000; Harden county,
over $50, 900; Wyandotte, $4,000; Mercer,
$4,000.
The tornado was proceeded by q severe
thunder storm, with slight rainfall Many
tragic incidents of the disaster are told. John
Durbin, farmer living near Celina, took
refuge with his family in the cellar. The
buildings was demolished over their heads,
and mass of broken timber came tumbllng
down into the cellar. Durbin, who is man
of great strength, held up a section of the
roof which was about to crush them, while
his wife and five children crawled out from
the debris. The tremendous exertion prosI
trated him. and he is now in a critical con-
diuion. Wires are down in all directions,
and the news SO far comes mainly from the
large towns Not until the country districts
are heard from will it BE- known just how dis
astrous the storm has been.

HURRICANE IN SPAIN.
Seventy Persons Killed and Two
Hundred Injured in Madrid.

Hundred Injured in Madrid.
A terrible hurricane swept across the midi
die of Spain. In Madrid seventy persons are
known to have BEEN instantly killed and 200
others have been seriously injured. The
wind struck the city with the suddenness Of
lightning. Tram cars and cabs were over,
burned and broken into splinters, roofs we're
dislodged and telegraph wires everywhere
torn from their poles. The parks in and
about the city were devastated and in some
cases entirely denuded. Oae church tower
was blown down. A number of houses in the
suburbs were entirely wrecked, and of the
many cottages on the outskirts Of the Capita
which were blown from their foundations
and wrecked, some were SO completely and
quickly broken up and scattered by the wind
that they may be said to have simply van
ished before the storm. Telegraph commu,
nicaton has been so completely cut off that it
is impossible, as yet, to obtain news from the
provinces, but it is believed that the ru n
wrought by the hurricane has been wide
spread.

Miss Folsom's Trousseau.

A citizen visited the Custom House, New
York, to ascertain if any duty woull have
to be paid upon the trousseau of President
Cleveland's bride-e!ect when the ar, ices ar
rived here from Europe. Mr.. Parkers, the
Collectors secretary, said :-'Well, the trous>
eau will be admitted duty free, OF course,
as it is to be presumed that the lady intends
to wear all the articles herself and does not
sntend them for merchandise. On one occa-
sion there was dispute about the duty de-
manded for evening apparel imported by a
lady member of the Astor family, but it was,
z bslieve, decided in her favor.

Residence of u Canadian
MnDiS; rate

Two more dynamite explosions occurred OF
Orangeville, Ont, one at the office and
another at the residence of Police Magistrate
Monroe. The office was completely wrecked
and adjoining property was somewhat
damaged This house was badly damaged,
but fortunately no lives were lost The in
dignation of the citizens is very great, as this
is the third and most destructive explosion
since the initiation of the Scott Act. The
cause of the cut rage is the &C ion of Mags,
trate Monroe in strictly enforcing the tenn
perance law. Although large rewards have
been offered for information regarding the
preparation of the first two explosion, no
one has been arrested in connection with the
crimes.

Corn Planting Progressing.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press crop reports
from the Northwest for the past week, with
few exceptions, are of the most favorable
character. Frequent rains have been fol~
10 aed by cool weather, and vegetation has
vigorous start. In Dakota wheat is four and
six inches high, with better stand than last

rain in Northern Minnesota and Of weeds in
the s uJhern part of the state. In Wiscon-
sin the conditions were more favorable than
the preceding week. Considerable corn has
been planted and the ground is in fair con-
dition for seeding In Iowa most of the corn
crop is in the ground and the conitions are
favorable. In sou hern Minnesota and Dl>
kota farmers ere nearly through planting

Nearly 200, 900 Men Working Short

Special kilograms to Bradstreets indicate
that the industrial agitation in favor Of
fewer hours of work daily has largely disap.
peared elsewhere than at Chicego, At New

within about two weeks there have been

fewer daily hours of labor aggregai ing 2OO,-
0O9 employees that 150 900 have secured cons
cessions without striking and that not over
~, 900 Of the 900 strikers have secured
their ends. This indicates that over 49,, 900
employees are working fewer hours per day
than one month ago, a small proportion Of
the total number claiming to be interested.
With the favorable change in the indus
trial outlook, general business is reported to
have made some advances, notably at such
cities as Detroit, indianapolis, Peoria, Oma>
ha and Dubuque, and like advices come from
Savannah, Dallas and New Orleans. There
is Of course a marked improvement iu Chica-
go In part due to the receipt OF delayed orr

Leading iron markets are dull and deliver"

Prices are weaker. The bears have been
