LONDON, May 1.-the house OF com
mons was crowded last evening in antici-
patton of an excited discussion on re-
sumption of the debate on the home -rule
bill. Gladstone replying to Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, Conservative, said the gov
eminent would propose that the debate
on the home-rule bill be from day to day
beginning Monday. The government
would not take Friday for such debate
because John Morley, chief secretary Tor
Ireland, would then take occasion and
move a second reading of his bill relating
to the purchase and use of arms in Ire
land. The debate on Gladstonc's Irish
bill was then resumed
Further cessions from the Gladstone
section of the Liberal party are reported
consequent upon the disappointment
created by Campbell Bannerman's state
ment in the house yesterday touching
the home-rule bill. A number OF sup
porters of the measure made combined
representation TO the government whip'
urging that Gladstone would announc'

WArERING Political STooE

TilE GAZETTE publishes this morning a
letter from Austin which will be of inter.
est to great many people besides the
politicians. 1t is not an unusual thing
for would-be dictators to scheme to
thwart the frank, outspoken viii Of the
people, and to achieve their ends no
means are too desperate. THE GAZETTE
anticipates great deal of plotting and
trading before the convention, but we
doubt very seriously whether any of the
goods bargained for are delivered. The
vigilant eye of the public has grown too
keen to be deceived by the petty devices
OF the professional political manager,
and the rays of many calciums are ready
to shine upon the ways that are dark and
the tricks that are vain, Politicians may
plant and water, but 1t remains for the
delegates OF the people to give the in.
crease.

WINDS AND CYCLONES

Inc winds that have proved so de-
structive to life aud property in Missouri,
indiana and Illinois are not the dreaded
cyclones, but appear, from the accounts
published, to be either violent gales or
hurricanes. The destruction of Sank
Rapids, Minnesota, few weeks ago. was
oy cyclone, but the disasters at Kansas
City and other points in Missouri and
Indiana were produced by wlud-storms
OF extraordinary force and severity.
A cyclone is distinguished from all
other movements Of the air by the rotary
motion of the wind. 1t moves across the
country invariably from southwest to
northeast, and In the Northern hemis-
phere the wind rotates from right TO left
The pathway of the destroyer is not
often more than fifty yards In width.
though it sometimes expands to
a hundred yards. The onward mo
tion OF the funnel-cloud that il
the center of agitation is not
more than thirty miles an hour, but the
rotary velocity Of the current is as great
as two hundred miles an hour. 1t is this
tremendous speed that makes a cyclone
so destructive to everything in It's way,
that has given 1t strength to lift thirty
ton locomotives from the track and hurl
them through the air, to twist iron rails
from the ties to which they were spiked,
to oyerwhelm in ruins the most substan-
tial buildings of stone, and to inspire, In
the regions that are subject to such yIs-
tatlons, the most pitfai terror.
Amere wIndstorm is nothing, Strong
houses are safe against the most violent
wind, as long as 1t blows In a steady d. |
rection. The buildings blown down in
Kansas City by the storm were weak
one OF which had been
condemned as unsafe, all of which
were unable to stand any unusual strain.
The storm passed over the heart of the
city, yet, only three or four houses were
destroyed. Had cyclone trsyersed the
same way It would have cut clean swsth
