The friends OF John j. OBrien IN the

his fat and comfortable place as Chief OF the
Bureau Of Elections. They point with pride to
his long and honorable service and his Civil
Service examination mark, and they don't care
whether G. A. r. man heads the elig BILE list
or not. John was out Of town yesterday. but

John could hold his political place as long as
he pleased, and that by the same token he

Johnny Is not worried" said Mr.. Brodsky,
he knows he's all right and that there is no

OF Commissioner MaoLean as President OF the

CYCLONE IN EUROPE.

Geneva, Aug. 20.-The Valley of Jouz,
in the Canton Vaud, WAS devastated by a
terrible cyclone last night. Fifty houses were
DESTROYED, and whole forests of fr-trees beat
en- to the ground. No loss of life is reported,
but a large number of persons were injured.
The st rm only lasted three minutes,
A destructive hailstorm visited the Grand
son country, also in the Canton Vaud. The
crops in many places were beaten fiat, and
glass was broken in all directions. Much
damage was also caused in the town of Ro.
mainmotier, and the telegraph between. VAL
lorbes and Brassus Is down.
Paris, Aug. 20. = Violent storms occurred
at many points throughout the country on
Monday. A terrible cyclone passed over the
town of Dreux, Eure ct Loir, 500 houses being
more or less damaged, while about twenty
were entirely destroyed. The damage is
estimated at l,000,O00f. A panic occurred
among the inhabitants, who feared an earth
quake, and in the confusion which followed
many persons were slightly injured.
In the village of Brissard, near Dreux,
about twenty houses were destroyed. Many
of the inhabitants have camped out IN the
felds.-D0ily Telegraph.

which Charles Pritchard, potman, will

1t appears that in the early hours of yes

about to be opened wine, cigars, and a
variety of edibles were missing, and the
prisoner was found in an adjoining room,
just waking from a drunken sleep. But,
though he had consumed a large decanter
of port, three bottles of sodawater, and
probably other liquids, the rock on which
he split was not quartz, as in the case OF

1t would appear probable that the visit OF
the German Emperor to the Oar has not
resulted in any fuller understanding between
Germany and Russia. The Gar, it is asser-
ted by some writers, has either had nothing
fresh proposed to him, or else has declined
to discuss anything that may have been pro-
posed to him, and the visit has ended in
mere compliments and decorations. On the
other hand, a Times correspondent declares
that the German Emperor is we'll satisfied
with his visit, and that he intends to support
the Czar in the line he takes towards Bull
garia. But nothing certain is really known
on the subject. There is a legend, watch
may or may not be true, that the German
Emperor taking part in the autumn man
9uvres at the head of a Russian regiment of
which he is Colonel, ordered some rash
charge, was taken prisoner by the so-called
"enamN," and was much annoyed by the
failure of his manoeuvre. However that may
he, the visit has ended, and the only thing
we hear from Russia is that the Ozar is like
ly to interfere seriously to abate he rm9ni-
an troubles, and to insist on restoring order
himself if the Sultan will not or cannot con-
troll his own Kurdish subjects. And, for our
parts, we think that Russia would, in that
case, be quite justified in such q course
