At South Glastonbury, Conn, over 100
persons who had eaten ice-cream at q
church festival are ILL The symptoms are
those that attend poisoning In many in
stances whole families are sick. The
trouble was traced to the vanilla ice cream
sold ut the festival. The physicians ex-
press but slight hopes for the recovery OF
thirty-four OF the victims. In other cases.
whore the victims partook sparingly OF the
cream and the effect of the pois oning is
less severe. the physicians are hopeful OF
recovery. OF the many victims those most
affected are:

Considerable discussion has been
aroused in the various European capitals
lately by the belligerent tone assumed by
the Russian and German press toward
Switzerland on account of the liberty al
lowed by that ancient confederation 10.
the Socialist and Nihilist refugees within
its borders. Doubtless the diatribes al
most daily hurled against the Swiss Gov
eminent are intended chiefly 10 intimi-
date the Swiss into taking steps toward
the expulsion of the hordes of plotters
against royalty and society who
have letaken themselves TO Switzer-
land 10 escape long terms of
Imprisonment or to save their necks, but
there is still less doubt that both the
Gar aud the Kaiser have more than once
cast covetous eyes upon the territory com
prisiug the little republic, and would glad
ly, if they dared, add its acres to their al
ready enormous domains. In this view
the current o. discussion runs toward a
careful calculation of the chances OF an
attack upon Switzerland by one or even
both of the powers named. England
would certainly not permit such a move

to say nothing of the other considerations
which wo nd influence her action in a matter
in which Germany was deeply concerned.
Even Austria and Italy subseryient as
they are 10 Germany, would hardly coun-
tenance an invasion of Switzerland. and
many Europeans bel eve that The United
States, though in no way interested in the
internal affairs of Europe, would, fiom
sentimental motives, interpose her veto on
an act which would cause the overthrow of
the Swiss confederation and the annexa-
ton of it's territory. Then, too, the peo-
pie of Switzerland are to be considered in
such Il contingency, and not lightly. The
peacefully inclined Swiss Government
might possibly submit TO a mild degree
of coercion applied by the stronger pow
ers for the purpose of compelling the ex-
pulsion of plotting social SITS and anarch-
lists, nihilists and the like rather than be
drawn into armed conflict with its neigh
bors; but the memory of countless victo-
ries by Helvetians in years long Como by.

pendence the world over, is still fresh in
the national mind. Tie hardy Swiss
mountaineer is just as brave and uncon-
querab.e to-day as he was hundreds of
years ago. and with the assistance which
would surely be forthcoming at the outset
of any attempt to subdue Switzerland
that country could successfully resist any

MARSHAL JONES HEARD FROM.

Oklahoma Claims.


Attorney General Miller has received n
report from United States Marshal Jones OF
Kansas in regard 10 the conduct of himself
and deputies upon the opening of Oklahoma
to settlement. He says:
i believe that few OF my deputies have at
tempted TO file on land in the Territory, but /
know many OF them have not, and while l in
structed them not To do So when they saw
themselves surrounded by from 500 to 100 per-
sons at Guthrie aud at least half that number
al Oklahoma waiting for the hour Of II TO come,
i do not wonder that some OF them deputies
who were serving without pay and only there in
the interests OF good order, took the fever and
attempted 10 get home. AS 10 myself, 1
never attempted TO homestead n foot Of land
either in Oklahoma or any other Territory or
State
Marshal Jones says the country is abso-
lutely quiet in Oklahoma. and that there has
not been a single person killed by violence
in that Territory since April ~. 1t is UNDER
stood that the Attorney General is not sat
isled with the report. and that he will call
for supplemental report. giving the name
OF each officer who filed claim and de-
scripton OF the land secured by him. to-

4 Million Dollars Damage Done To Farm

Carolina Also Visited by the Destructive
Hailstones.
Norfolk VA dispatch.l
One of the most severe hailstorms that
ever struck this section has just passed
over Norfolk, Portsmouth, and vicinity.
ice particles Of extraordinary size came
Town with the hail, and several inches Of
hail lay in drifts before the deluee of rain
that followed carried il away. The shade
.rees Of the streets and the flower and
vegetable gardens were badly wrecked. In
the country the truck farms were badly
.orn up, Strawberries, peas, cabbage, and
other crops being beaten TO the ground.
The vineyards and orchards suffered Sc
gerely, vines and trees being cut terribly
and the fruit destroyed. Many of tho
truckers express themselves as ruined for
the season. A swath of five or six miles
broad was cut through Norfolk and Nam
semond Counties by the storm. The truck
srs all around the Hodges Ferry section
and between the Western Branch River
and Portsmouth lost everything. The loss
will probably reach million dollars,
and 1T Is too late now to attempt
% recover. The hailstorm and rainfall
swept over Southampton County in the
vicinity of Newsom's Depot, and the
growing crops and orchards were badly
damaged by large pieces of ice and the
great quantity of it. The drifts OF hail
we're twenty-four inches deep in some
places, and twelve hours after the storm
the drifts were over six inches in depth.
The barn OF w. S. Francis was blown
down by the wind and demolished and
three horses killed. Other farmers suf-
fered in damage TO their buildings. The
storm struck the great bridge section of
Norfolk County, the hailstones in some
SEES being as large as pullet eggs. The
tatoes and vegetable gardens were dam
lged. Three men at work in a field be-
yond Deep Creek during the same storm
wers struck by lightning and badly in
jured.
The severest cyclone ever known there
passed over Danville, doing great damage
to roofing fences, shade, and fruit trees.
Three tobacco factories we're unroofed,
the bridge over the Dan River damaged,
n house in course of construction and the
colored Baptist Church blown down. the
roof of the storage warehouse partly blown
off, and Lees tobacco warehouse dam
aged. The shed over the brick mill was
blown down and fell on n. A. Fitzgerald,
the proprietoy seriously injuring him.
The cyclone was accompanied by rain and
slight hail, lasting fifteen minutes.
A dispatch from Lumberton, n. c.,
says six inches of hail fell there. A gale
preceded the .orm, unroofing many small
houses and utterly obliterating the crops.

The Brazil conference between the Indi-

the operators former refusal to arbitrate

relation To the yearly scale for mining
bituminous and block coal through
out Indiana. The operators demand
a reduction from 90 20 10 cents for
block. and from IS to GO cents for bitumin-
Gus. the biggest cut ever made in the his
tory of the coal trade of the West. The
operators base their refusal to arbitrate on
the ground that undertaking by Ohio.
Pennsylvania. and Illinois operators make
it impossible to get market at n less re-

State are affected by tho decision. There
is no alternative for the miners but TO ac-
