THE anarchists of Chicago and 9th.
er western cities will have ample time
now to ponder over the vast difference
between comm unism and orderly
strikes. While the latter is tolera-
ted with view of final satisfactory
settlement between employers and
employees, the former is an outright
violation of American laws, and hot
headed foreigners would as we'll be
made to learn that they will not be
allowed to do as they.please, even if
this is free country. The laws of
the land must be respected and obey
ed at oil hazards. If it were other
wise American industries ana homes
would be the targets of lawless and
unprincipled outcasts and the safety
and peace of this great continent would
continually be at the mercy of re-
vengeful and furious mobs. 1t is to
be hoped that these disturbers of the
peace will learn lesson which they
will not forget for some time to come.

twenty-five Persons Killed and
a Large Number Injured at
Kansas City by a Terri
BILE Tornado.

Kansas City, May IA fearful
storm of wind and rain swept over tins
city to-day, continuing from II o'clock
until noon, causing terrible loss of
life. The court house was totally de-
mOliShPd above the second story. The
Latllrop school bnilding on Eighth
street was partially wrecked and many
children we're caught in the ruins, Il
number being killed. An overall fac
tory on Second street was blown down,
as was the old water works building.
One span at the north end of the rail
road bridge across the Missouri RIVER
was blown into tie river, blocking the
Hannibal and st joseph, Rock Island,
Wabash AND Kansas City, st. Joe and
Council Bluffs Roads. Of the four
buildings wrecked all were more or less
unSouId. The school building has
been twice condemned, and the Court
House, by many,was considered unsafe.
No one was killed except in these four
houses.
The storm, though entailing 50 heavy
a loss of life, was nothing of the nature
Of The tornado that visited the city
three years ago. It was a violent wind
accompanied by food of water and
some hail, which turned many streets
into rivers. Signs. shutters, chimneys,
&C., were blown with the gale, and a
number of vehicles were overturned IN
the streets. The black clouds that roll
ed oyer the city created almost the
darkness Of night, and made the timid
ones crouch in terror in their cellars
The streets were entirely deserted. and
in some instances horses were seen
wandering about attached to vehicles
and seeking refuge from the pelting
storm. Telephone and telegraph wires
being down increased greatly The diff

THE Turco Grecian War now seems
q settled affair and the Grecian popu-
lace are very enthuiastic over the fact.
All the foreign ministers, except the
Russian representative, have received
orders from their respective countries
to embark for their homes. The
European powers have given orders
to their fleets to blockade the Greek
ports and Greek troops are being hur-
ried to the front with all possible speed.
The movements of the Turkish army
threaten to make Thessaly the scene
of the first warlike operations Greece
with an army of 100000 men against
100000 Turks, apparently stands no
chance in licking the Mohammedans,
but the indications are that Greece
will have strong ally in one of the
other powers. When the swords of
the two armies have fairly opened the
contest, the question who is backing
Greece in this uneven fight, will be-
come clearer.

barges was sunk in the MonOngahcla
river between Dam No. | and the Point

The wrecks, however, are strewn along

disaster was the sudden and rapid rise
in the river. The'coal men were look
ing for high water, but it came sooner
than they had expected. At 80 o.
clock this Worning fuel fat, which
had broken from its mooriugs some
where up the river, came drifting rap
idly down the swiftly running stream,
which was rising at the rate Of six
inches an hour Just below the dam it
struck feet of twelve haIgcS, belong

was so great that the lines were parted
and the entire tow started down the
river.
Before the runaways had gone far
they encountered twenty bargeS, belong

three barges of the Birmingham Coal
Company and one each of Brown IL
Sons and Sneather q Wilson. The
steamboats, Alarm, Fred Wilson and

only saved eleven barges. The other
twenty seven were sunk and their con-
tents strewn along the river.

it is reported from Washington that
the country's debt in the month of
April was reduced by round eleven

Committee, MesSrS. Curtin, Burns and

the West on Friday night, met yester-
day and continued the examination of
witnesses in regard TO the causes and
effects of the Southwestern labor trouD-
les. Mr.. Kochtizkv, State Labor Com
missioner, said that the Knights of LA
Dor could not expect official recognition
from any one, for they were not incor-
porated. He supposed that the expense
incurred by the knights of Labor in
conducting the strike had been about
81 ,000, 200. and suggested that Mr.. Hall,
whose discharge caused the strike,
could have been supported for much
less sum, and no strike would have
been necessary.
