nificent new Bluff Point hotel at Bluff
Point, three miles south of Plattsburg,
on Lake Champlain, was struck by
cyclone about noon to-day and badly
damaged. Passengers on the midnight
train from Montreal say the storm was
general from Rouse's Point to Whitall,

small houses at RouSe'S Point and other
towns along the lake being lifted from
their foundations and destroyed. The
Bluff Point hotel suffered to the extent
of $1,000. No one in the hotel was in
jured so far as known. One guest,

storm near the Bluff Point notel.
Five got ashore in safety. and the
remaining seven are missing. At
Port Henry ten people who were
out in rowboats are missing. The name
of the guest known to be drowned is
Valley. He was stopping with his two
daughters at the Bluff Point hotel. The
tin roof of the hotel was torn off by the
wind, and nearly every window IN the
house was shattered. The guests were
panic-stricken, but none in the house at
the time were injured. More than 500
trees in the vicinity were leveled.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July s.-The in
terstate commerce commission last
month furnished to the various roads
interested copy of its report upon the
Investigation made by it in accordance
with a senate resolution into the allega-
ton that by reas n of excessive freight
act, the great section of the country
lying between the Rocky mountains
and the principal Notwithstanding cen
tiers of the East finds itself unable to
market its food products and obtain for
them the actual cost of production, The
commission also gave norice of its
purpose to make an order based
on its findings that certain
rates on grain shipments were ex-
cessive, and should be reduced, and an
nounced that 1t would give the roads
an opportunity to be heard upon the
subject. To-day was designated for the
presentation of the arguments. Hon.
Aldace f. Walker, on behalf of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
company and twenty-five other railroad
companies, appeared and submitted a
printed brief in opposition to the pend
ing proceedings of the commission on
the ground of want of jurisdiction, and
moving that they be dismissed accord
ingly. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Bristow, of counsel for the New York,
Lake Erie & Western Railroad COM
pany, also submitted statement alleg
ing want of jurisdiction on the part Of
the commission in the pending pro-
ceedings. The commission will hear
sentative of the Chicago board of trade
and shippers from Nebraska and Iowa
who are of opinion that the rates for
shipments should be even lower than
those indicated in the report of the COM

American Sharpshooters Visit
Germany's Greatest Man.
BERLIN. July 8.-The independent
New York shooting corps, in full uni
form, paid visit to Prince Bismarck to-
day. The party comprised Messrs.
Diehl. William Weber, Hermann Weber,
Ehret, Elsenhauer, Hoepfur, Koerber,
Roster. Kruse. 6. Krauss. Loewer, Lehing,
ii. Mahrenholz, A. Mahrenholz, Mas,
Splitdorf' Stein, Weller, Wintermeyer,
Wegeler and Waldrichmith. Chief
Forester LANCE conducted them to the
castle, where Prince Bismarck shook
hands with each one. William Weber
expressed the thanks of the party for
the privilege given them of visiting the
great man to whom Germany owed her
unity. Thousands of his associates, he
at Friedrichsruhe, and the day
they would carry back to America.
Prince Bismarck expressed his pleasure
at the visit and SAID he was surprised to
hear only German names. Germans in
America, he said. must feel satisfied
with the unifcation of Germany even
on the other side of the Atlantic. For
merly one was Saxon, another was a
Prussian and another was Hessian;
but now each called himself German.
The marksmen might, as German
pioneers, further contribute toward
the preservation of the ties
knitting the two nations. He had al
ways striven to MAINTAIN good relations
with America. In his opinion it would
have been foolish to quarrel over such
a small question as that of Samoa. and
he had therefore worked energetically
to effect an amicable settlement of the
matter. At the luncheon which fol-
lowed, William Weber sat on Bis
marck's right, and Commercial Coun-
cilor Wegeler, as an honorary men,
Der of the Independent corps, sat on
his left. The ex-chancellor was in
CHEEKY mood, and related many inter-
esting anecdotes of his life. He in
Quired into the condition of the beer
and wine trade in America, and asked
for details of the days shooting. After
the repast Prince Bismarck smoked his
favorite pipe, while the guests were re-
called with choice cigars. Yesterday
the prince had his photograph taken on
horseback, and he promised to give Mr..
Weber one of the pictures when they
are completed. The visitors inspected
the estate, and started on their return
to Berlin at o'clock.

DIDN'T MAKE HIS RETURNS.
A Census Enumerator is Arrested
BY Marshal Hoy.

BY Marshal Hoy.
W. Frank Mitchell. one of the Mime
apOlis census enumerators, was arrested
yesterday by United States Deputy
Marshal Hoy on warrant sworn out by
Supervisor Davenport, charging him
with neglect OF duty. Mitchell was ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Bowen, and held in $1,000 bail
for hearing tomorrow. Mitchell is
not charged with fraud. His portfolio
is missing, and Supervisor Davenport
proposes to find it. Mitchell claims he
turned it in to Davenport, but it cannot
be found, either in Washington OF at the
census office in Minneapolis. The sup
ervisor therefore thinks Mitchell has
not turned the portfolio in. There has
been no chance for losing it. as those
employed at the census office in ar
ranging returns have been very careful
to see that nothing got away, and aside
from the portfolio not even blank has
been lost.
Supervisor Davenport said yesterday
that the statement that several more
enumelatOTs were to be arrested was
not true, or if such was the case he
knew nothing of it. When asked why
he caused the arrest of Mitchell he said:
II had him arrested in order to get.that
portfolio. 1t can't be found in this office,
and the authorities in Washington in
form us that it has not been sent there
He certainly had portfolio, and ought
to know where it is. He no doubt will
before we get through" Mitchell, how
ever, emphatically declares that he
turned his portfolio over to the super
visor

The ST. Louis Road Will Fight the
Iowa Rate Bill.
Solicitor Clark, of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis road, returned from Iowa
yesterday, where he has commenced
suit in the district court of Webster
county against the railroad commits
sionerS to restrain them from enforcing
compliance with an order issued by
them requiring all roads to make joint
rates in connection with other roads
for the shipment of freight and the
transportation of cars. The Iowa COM
missioners made an order June 10
requiring that after the 4th day of
July all roads doing business in
the state of Iowa should comply
with schedule of maximum freight
rates promulgated by the commission
ers. This order requires that any COM
pany receiving freight destined to some
point on another line shall charge on
the joint shipment its mileage proper
ton of the rates for the entire distance
based on its own Iowa rate, according
to its class, with certain percentages
added for such mileage proportion. as,
for instance. 5 to 100 miles. 10 per ceut;
100 to 200 miles, IL per cent. The rate
for freight received from any other road
is also to be its mileage proportion,
based on its own Iowa rate, with the
difference that the added percentage
may be IL per cent for the first 100
miles and per cent for the second, etc.
The railroad people claim that the joint
rate bill is unconstitutional and void,
and that the commissioners have no
right to make such joint rate bill.

City.

City.
CLEVELAND. O., July s.-A violent
wind storm struck this city. coming
from the northwest, between and
o'clock this evening, causing dam
age estimated at 100000. The
force of the wind was so
great that freight cars on the
Lake Shore road were overturned.
Three hosting machines on the iron
ore docks were destroyed, entailing
loss Of $4,000. A tubular steel electric
light mast, $50 feet high. was snapped
off within twenty feet of the ground.
Several houses were badly damaged
and buildings in the course of
erection destroyed. Trees on resi-
dence streets and in the parks
were broken and in some cases uproot-
ed. No one was injured. The tempera-
ture had been very high during the
day, reaching 81 deg in the shade, with
one exception the hottest day in twenty
years. The storm, which was accom-
panied by rain, cooled the atmosphere.
The same storm struck Canton. o., at 6
O'clock tonight. One house was
wrecked and several others badly DAM
aged. No one was Injured.

Investigation of the Hill Farm
Mine Horror.
DUNBAR, Pa, July S.-The coroner's
inquest has become a fight as to who
shall shoulder the responsibility for the
disaster at the Farm Hill mine, the
owners, the inspectors, or the
mine boss. Inspector keighley
admitted that he had told committee
of miners he would close the mine if 1t
was as bad as they thought; and that
he found its condition worse than they
thought. Neither he nor the other in
spectors could have closed the mine
without a lawsuit. as the mine boss
had made report that fatal morn
ing saying there was no gas in
the mine. John Kerwin, who drove his
pick into the bore hole, told dramatic
story of the ensuing rush of water and
gas and final explosion. Experts testi-
fed they would have used small drill
in boring into the hole. instead of allow
ing man to pick in. 1t was developed
that the company had made promises to
remedy defects in the mine. Adjourned
until tomorrow.

LONDON, July S.-Several meetings of
policemen were held to-day, the chief
feature of which was the general dis
position displayed by the men to quar-
rel among themselves. 1t is quite evil
dent that what little of the spirit of Or
ganIZation their movement possessed
has entirely disappeared, and the entire
force is at SKIES ond sevens. The ring
leaders are blaming one another for the
failure of the attempted strike and the
younger men are berthing their elders
for not supporting them at the CRITICAL
time. The men on duty are rest
less and Sullen. 1t is true they are
to all outward appearances Obeying
orders with their customary promptneSs,
but the discipline of the force has been
seriously shaken and their work is be-
ing done perfunctorily. But if the men
are lacking in discipline they are still
more deficient in organization, and this
state of affairs removes all possibility
of general strike. The wiser counsels
of the veterans are having great in
f1uence over their younger fellows. The
older men fear to engage in a strike,
and strongly deprecate any such move
ment lest it shall ALLEVIATE the sympathy
of the public from the real grievances
OF the police, which will ultimately be
redressed if the men do not show them
selves unworthy. To-day's disorders
were merely local affairs, and were
quickly suppressed. The men. at
their meetings to-day, decided not
to combine with the postmen.
but to fight their own battles.
Two merchants offered the police 81, 900
to-day if they would persevere in their
attempts to bring about general strike,
but the offer was refused. The police
are not without sympathlZerS in parlia-
ment in their efforts to better their con-
dition. Mr.. Pickersgill. member for
Southwest Bethnal Green, points out
that the ordinary dockman at siXpence
IL cents an hour, if ne worked the Or
binary number of hours that London
policeman is on duty, would receive
more pay than many of the constables.
The metropolitan police receive from "a
to 80 Shlllings (S6 to 50 week, and the
city police an average of two shillings
more than the metropolitan. The clerks
and foremen employed on the London
docks have combined and threaten to
strike for higher wages. They assert
that their wages average less than those
of the ordinary dock laborers, and this
is undoubtedly true

circumstances of the crime can, of
only be guessed at here by the friends
