Secretary Swank Looking After the Inter.
ests of the Concern.
From the Washington Post
Hon. James NJ. Swank, of Philadelphia, Sec
retary of the American Iron and Steel Associa-
ton, is at the Riggs. He has had hard siege
with the grip, which laid him by the heels the
last of December. and didn't let up until the
middle of February. Mr.. Swank will keep an
eye open for any attacks which may be made
on the metal schedule of the Mckinley bill in
the Senate.
"These importers who came down from New
York." he said. cant hope to have much in
fiuence. l don't believe more than half of
them are naturalized. Their names are not
American. People who think the Mckinley
bill raises duties on everything are mis-
informed. Let me give you two important
items on which the Mckinley bill reduces
duties The present duty on steel rails is ST.
The Senate bill IN the Fiftieth Congress pro-
posed reduction to Sl5 6S, or seven-tentns of
cent per pound. The Mckinley bill reduces
the duty to six-tenths. or Sl3 A a ton. On iron
and steel beams and structural iron the duty is
" cents. The Senate bill set 1t at cent
Tie Mckinley bill reduces 1t to nine-tenths Of
a cent"

Commissioner McCieIIand Urges Pennsyl-
.valnin 10 Arouse to the Worlds Fair.
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
Under the heading "a National Opportu-
nity.n referring to the Worlds Fair, The DIS
xATcH says editorially this morning:
.'The American people cannot AFFORD to let
this opportunity slip to show the world the
measure, quality and variety of their resources.
their substantial achievements and wonderful
progress in all directions. At Chicago the op-
portunIty occurs; upon that city the whole
nation must concentrate It's forces"
Isubmis, Mr.. Editor. no other State has as
many important and varied interests as Penn
sylyania, and If it is desired to have these
properly represented at the Fair. the prompt
co-operation of every wide-awake Pennsyl-
vanian must be had Our people, satisfed
with present activity and prosperity, may not
feel prompted to promote the Fair. But the
future should not be lost sight of, as through
the medium of the Fair markets for our
products would be greatly increased. This
should be an incentive to action, and it is
especially applicable to Pittsburg and TO Pitts
burg's interests.
Other States are moving. Already California
has asked for II acres of ground for display
of the exhibits of that State. An appropria-
tion of $500. 900 is contemplated, TO say nothing
of probably an equal amount that will be ex-
pended by individuals. The State of Pennsyl-
its industries and resources it is pre- eminently
the first in the Union.

THE intimation that Congressman Cheadle

cause he was so insubordinate as to vote for
Mr.. Milburn, the blind preacher, for Chaplain

motives on record. But as Mr.. Cheadle has
been more remarkable for strict party fealty

Further Particulars from the Sec

Disastrous Storms,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and
Ohio Reported to Be the
Chief Sufferers.
Driving Rain Storms, in Many Places Ac-
companied by Fatal Lightning
Flashes-Few Lives Lost,

ST. PAUL, June Sit is reported that the
damage from the storm was heavy. Word
is now coming in from various parts of the
northwest. In general the rain was bene-
fit, but the wind that accompanied it in
some places, and washouts and floods that
rose from it in others, have caused good
many thousands of dollars loss to rail-
roads, farms and towns. The damage at
Red Wing and Zumbrota, Minn., was very
heavy. Many dwellings were ruined and
families forced to vacate. In Belle Greek
valley all tracks of the Minneapolis and St.
Louis and the Cannon valley division of the
Milwaukee railways were destroyed. Cattle
pastured on the bottoms are reported
drowned. In some places the tracks are
buried fifteen feet under the earth.
The Duluth, Red Wing & South
ern tracks between here and Zumbrota were
dashed away. In many places the wires
are down and nothing very definite can now
be learned. At Hay creek two mill dams
burst, sweeping away a large portion of the
track and station house.
Around Leroy. Mimi, the storm was like
cyclone and the damage was great. Ches-
ter, Iowa, suffered from this storm, which
formed near the southeast corner of Oak
ished q schoolhouse injuring the teacher
and several children, one fatally. Several
farm houses were partially demolished and
a number of people slightly injured. The
report telegrapheds from Sioux Falls to-day
that lightning struck the Bissman school
house, II miles southeast of Flandeau, kill
ing sixteen children, was incorrect. The
lightning did strike the building, shocked
and stunned the children, but none were
seriously injured.

after the first strike second one

struck a house under construction on Will
son avenue and killed VIM. Clark, a car
penter, and knocked five other men to the
ground, but did not seriously injure them.
Earlier in the day the heat was almost un-
endurable and several persons were sun
struck.

Rice's Evaneeline at AIing's.


Rice's "Evangeline" was given in Helena
at Ming's for the first time last evening by
q credit, BILE company Of thirty eight per-
formers EvanReline is medley Of bur-
lesque comedy, pantomime, comic opera
ands oddities without limit-iust such a
performance to make people laugh. To do
this nothing more need be seen than Geo.
X. Fortesque, mountain of humanity, as
Catherine. He is u great comedian, and to
see him is never to forget him. The scenery
and mechanical effects are all that has been
promised. The chorus, though weak, is
we'll trained and shapely. The Amazon
march was pleasing novely, the costuming
being very rich. Mr.. James Mafit az the
Lone Fisherman afforded good share Of
amusement. Evangeline Miss Yolande
Wallnce) proved favorite, but not on ac-
count of her voice. which, though sweet, is
neither full nor we'll trained. Miss Bessie
Tnnnehill sings and acts we'll. Evaugeline
will be repeated this evening up to Satur-
day night, and also at a Friday and Satur-
day matinee. Evangeline has always been
success, as it is full Of that life, mirth,
frolic and song which is pleasing to every
body, and the large audience which wit
messed it last evening will talk about it for
9 week. No one should fail to witness
Evnngeline.
