BuENos AYREs, Oct. 2. "A proposition
has been introduced into congress by the
government which provides for the con-
version of the provincial foreign loans in
to national A per cent loan. The gov
ernment hopes in this way TO relieve the
financial em mbarrassment of the provinces,
as the plan would give u national guar
antee for the payment of their debts.
The gold premium is l464 per cent.
The above press dispatch reads like old
times. 1t reminds one of the dark days
when the boys in blue were battling for
the preservation of the union and receiv-
ing as pay with which to support those
dependent upon them, paper money call
ed greenbacks.' AT that time some finan-
ciers, so ofailed-unpatriotic and traitor
GUS trafficers in their country's woe and
calamity-had by their unholy manipu-
lation, raised the gold premium to 14O
per cent. AS in the Argentine Republic
now. so in these United States the pro-
positions were introduced into congress-
providing for the bonding of what they
called the national debt" by which
term they meant the money with which
the soldiers were paid, and which drew
no interest. What they wanted to do,
and succeeded in doing, was to burn the
money and issue in the place Of it inter-
est-bcaring. longtime bonds. Mark the
result: We owed in interest bearing
bonds at the close Of the war, the sum Of
SO, 800, 900, 900, and since that time we
have paid to these avaricious traitors
about two and half billions of dollars
in interest nearly 81 200, COO, 900 Of the
principal, making about one billion dol
lars more than the entire debt was in the
commencement; while, "a u result of these
money mongers' financial nccromancy

MOE, Oct. 18.-Specias Correspondence:
The republicans held rally At the Rise
school house, in district No. 22, last
Thursdsy evening. The meeting was
largely attended by Canton politicians
and their local servants. The meeting
was. .asldressed by Judge Clifford Of Can,
ton, pur esteemed old reaper. apple
tree eysaace agent, A. Sherman,
now IL nominee for the legisla-
ture, the editor Of the Dakota Ekko,
who spoke in the Scandinavian language
Mr.. Sherman was to have been represent
ed on the stump by Mr. Simons of Sioux
Falls. but when his time came to crate,
that gentleman had partaken of SO much
selfacting fluid that he was too heavily
loaded to stand up and crate. The first
speaker was the editor; Of the Ekko, and
hi, anished hisasn1esh without interrup-
tion 6f ssI55ous' 'lRxaggeration. Judge, Gif-
ford spoke next and in his speech he told
us that he was raised on farm and in
various ways professed great love for the
farmer. Mr.. Clifford was frequently
questioned for further explanation on SUBJ
jects treated in his speech but he objected
to raising any debute until he had COM
pletcd his Grafton. but notwithstanding
the Judges objection his hearers continu-
cd to question him on various subjects
until they had him considerably embar-
rassed. He succeeded we'll, however, in
eyading sgy questions propounded In
his sp{esR be stated that in the true light,
he dis aieve, Mr.. Louks, independ-
ent caidf for governor, was citizen.
The Judge Vas asked regarding the gov
ernment whiskey warehouses, and in an
swer he stated that there was no such
thing, but that the leaders in the Alliance
were simply trying to make the farmers
believe there were. The Judges speech
was more amusing than logical and the
whole affair was practical delnonstra-

An Address to the Friends Of Equal Rights in South
Il. Dakota.
HURON, Spet. 15.-WoMEN OF SOUTH
DAKOTA: The men who were ION the
Heights during our fight for home pro-
lection last year, sent word along the line,
Have the women at the polls and we
will carry the day" The result proved
the wisdom Of that rail- lying cry, for those
same4men acknowledge 500 per cent. sd-
ded to our majority vote by the presence
of the women at the polls.
The battle to day. my sisters, means
more to us than of last October. 1t
means that our girls shall stand an equal
chance with our boys in life's battles.
1t means that the mother love of South
Dakota shall breathe upon the laws Of
our state. It means that 10000 women
shall have fair swing at life as we'll as
on the scaffold. While our brothers have
not been unmindful of the political needs
and demands of all other classes and con-
ditions of the people Of our state, even to
the dusly inhabitants Of the wigwam,
who were lately voted the courtesy of the
floor in one of our political conventions,
they have left us outside the fold as poll
tical orphans. With these facts staring
us in the face, we fully realize that we
women and we are alone, must fight it
out on this line. and everything hinges
on the work Of the women on election
day. Our only issue today is, the ballot
in women's hand.
In every voting precinct, appoint COM
mittee to make u house to house canvass
and get the women out to a meeting, and
let every one, into whose hands this cir
cular may fall, consider herself COM
mittee Of one to look after this matter.
At this meeting appoint number to
look after refreshments. The young
women can make this success. Detail
others TO solicit votes, and arrange to
hold prayer meeting before the polls
open. Have the bells rung every hour to
encourage those at the front.
Where possible have the children out
on parade three times during the day,
out of school hours. with their flags,
banners. mottoes and suffrage songs. II
there are onlysa few children in the pre-
ciact. let them use the button hole bou-
quets. Is last year.
Send 10 VIM F. Bailey for song books;
also for copies Of notices which you can
get your local talent to print, paint or
draw, on nssain aaa place" on the walls
of every polling place.
In the country places, have y picnic At
or near the polling places, with your
basket dinners, suffrage songs, making it
. general jubilee. Everywhere serve
lunch to all if nothing more than hot cof-
fee and sandwiches.
But first of all, before election day, Sc
cure tickets of all the different parties,
and see that they are printed according to
the form enclosed, and then far as possi-
BILE, hold the judges of election to the
count of the tickets according to the law
on this form; also posts ssfs form at every

Buildings In Ruins.
LINCOLN, NEB., June 4.-The State Jour.
nal party returned from the scene of the
tornado at Bradshaw, in York county, this
evening, and brought confirmation of the
worst reports received of the destructive
ness OF the storm Of Tuesday night.
Bradshaw is a town of 500 people, stu
ated on the Nebraska railway, about sixty
miles west OF Lincoln.
The storm struck the town at 80 O'Clock
Tuesday evening, coming from the south
west. Scarcely a moments notice was
given, the roar OF the wind being the first
notice that the terrified people heard.
NOT A BUILDING LEFT.
IL struck the town fairly. and there was
not single building left.
Every business house was made total
wreck, and the principal street was filed
with ruins
In the extreme western part of The vii
lage few houses are left with a semblance
OF their former appearance, but they are
without windows and doors, and their con-
tents were scattered broadcast over the
prairie.
The depot building was crushed into
kindling wood, and every car standing
there was wrecked, except one that was
loaded with stock, and which was blown,

DISASTER SUSPECTED.
The telegraph lines were prostrated, and
when the car arrived at York it was feared
that some disaster had occurred. A mos
senger went up the track, and at midnight
returned with news of the disaster. The
fire bells were rung, and In short time
large numbers of people were on their way
to give assistance. At the same time a spe-
cial train left lincoln with physicians and
other relief IL was found that the Russian
settlement near town was struck, and it is
reported that nine persons were killed there
outright.
The physicians say that In all twelve are
dead, eight mortally wounded and perhaps
twenty-one hurt more or less seriously.
MILITIA GUARDING PROPERTY.
Gov. Thayer to-day ordered the York
militia to the scene to assist In caring for
property. He also sent sixty tents and
supplies on a special train which left Lin
coin this evening. The State Journal has
opened a subscription list for the sufferers,
and thus far the contributions are very

COUNCIL BLUFFs, IA, June A devas-
tating cIoudburst early this morning con-
stitutes the third terrifi, storm that has
visited this section this week. A special to
the NonpdreH from Underwood, fifteen
miles north Of this city, states that about
IL o'clock this morning. after heavy rain,
cloud burst some miles north Of the track,
nearly over Mosquito crock. Before day
break the flood had deluged the little town,
which lies on a fat. and all but engulfed 1t.
When day broke the lower and western
half OF the town presented pitiable plight.
Scores Of dwellings were totally wrecked,
while others were twisted from their foun-
dations.
HIGH WATER IN THE CREEK.
AT noon Mosquito creek registered twenty
five feet above high water mark, and the
lower part Of the city was standing IN ten
feet of water.
Two miles out the Rock Island track,
above Underwood and for some distance
below, is submerged, and is probably washed
away. The Milwaukee and st. Paul road
which parallels the Rock Island, is an equal
loser. The bridges of both roads are swept
away. Three miles above Underwood a
large number Of cattle and hogs were
drowned.
The total loss in Underwood and vicinity
will aggregate $4,000.
A special from Weston. village seven
miles below Underwood and on Mosquito
creek, shows that the damage there is not
less great The best part of the town is
under from five to fifteen feet of water.
CORN CRIBS SUBMERGED.
A line OF corn cribs containing 100000
bushels are under water, and will probably
be a total loss.
Heavy losses of cattle and sheep are re-
ported
The track and bridges of the Rock Island
and Milwaukee road are gone.
flour mill at Dowsyille, three miles be-
low, is a total wreck.
The total loss about Weston will reach
$1,000
Further advices TO the NonpdreiI from
higher up ths valley at Nicola, and as far as
Persia on the line of the Milwaukee road,
show that the storm ragged savagely.
At Persia the Farmers Alliance lumber
yard loses $1,000. Mosquito creek Is a mile
wide and doing much damage. The loss
will reach $20, 900.
THE FLOOD AT COUNCIL BLUFFS.
The flood on Mosquito crock, which

The river reached the high water mark at
o'clock this afternoon, and II is eight feet
above at 8 o'clock tonight and still rising,

average depth of fifteen feet. The
indications are that the valley for a dis
tance of thirty miles is submerged. The
tracks Of the Milwaukee and Rock Island
road are washed out for a distance Of
twenty miles. and the bridges are all gone.
1t will be five days before trains can leave
or enter the city. No loss of life has been

His Explanation Rather Amusing to
His Colleagues.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Represen tative
Tom Bayne, who returned this morning,
did not appear at the House and thus saved
himself a great deal of embarrassment. All
his republican colleagues. to say nothing of
the democrats, wanted to ask him why he
did it, and as he had no better answer than
to say, as he did to interviewers, that it
was on account of his health, his colleagues,
who remember bis confident predictions
last week that he would come back to con-
gress in spite of everything, might have
bothered him. Mr.. Mckinley had to
smile when another of Mr.. Bayne's
interview observations that he ran
for the nomination In order
not only to vindicate himself, but the Nc
Kinley bill, was repeated to him. The fact
is that Mr.. Bayne got frightened at the
danger of being overwhelmed by Dslama-
ter, and lost his head. He says truly
enough tnat he will be neither senator nor
governor. He will probably settle down
here with his wife in her handsome house
on l street, unless the President should give
him the vacant mission to Spain.

AN IMPOSING SIGHT.
The Protests Against the Tariff Should
Have Great Weight.

daV0 GREAT weight
WASHINGTON, June An the important
schedules of the Mckinley bill were riddled
with hot shot before the Senate finance
committee to-day by the imposing delega-
ton representing the business men of New
York. All day the committee sat in the
large reception room of the Senate, their
own room being entirely too small to hold
the New Workers, and listened while one
man after another got up and iu brief
speech showed the folly or iniquity Of one
part Of the bill or another.
UNFAIR QUESTIONS.
The republican members of the COM
mittee, although Senator Allison aud
Aldrich evidently enjoyed great deal that
the New Workers said, asked many ques-
tions, some of which were fair and some un =
fair, but the New Workers answered them
all so successfully as to turn them to the ad-
vantage of their argument 1t was hot work
In more ways than one, for the atmosphere
was very close, but the New Workers
had come to do what they believed to be
their duty, and they stuck to it to the end.
Said Representative w. G. p. Breckenridge
this evening: "The sight of the business
men and workingmen of Philadelphia pro-
testing in those great meetings yesterday,
and the business men OF New York protest
ing in that interesting meeting to-day,
ought to impress every mind with the true
character of the Mckinley bill.n

NOT CAUGHT MAPPING.
An Attempt to Trap the Democrats
Into a Vote.

WASHINGTON, June At will be remem-
bered that when the Mckinley administra-
tive customs bill passed the House the demo-
Gratis refrained from voting, so that the
importers affected by its remarkable pro-
visions could take it into the courts and test
the constitutionality Of the rule which
Speaker Reed counted aquorum on. To-day
Mr.. Mckinley, apparently at Speaker
Reeds suggestion, brought forward
resolution amending the admins
trative bill, with a view TO trap
the democrats into voting for or against it,
so as to confuse the record. Clifton Breck-
inridge, who had charge of the democratic
side ON the former bill. was too quick for
him, however, and demanded the ayes
and nays. and publicly advised the demo-
Gratis not 10 vote, which advice they
promptly took, and 40 the record stands
unaltered
