Terrible Loss of Life
and property, no less than fifteen people
being killed and number of houses and
barns entirely demolished. The storm
came from the southwest and swept
down on Fields school house, a new
building standing at the four corners,
and tore it to pieces. AT the time there
were but eight persons in the school
room and
All Were Instantly Killed.
Their bodies were carried some distance

BLAINE'S TARIFF IDEAS.
The secretary Objects to the
Mckinley Bill Only ~ Re-
CARDS Free Sugar.
He Believes in Using It as a
Trump Gard in Pending Inter-
national Negotiations.
Main Opposition to Blaine's Recipro.
city Views Comes From the
Silver Men.

CHICAGO, June PA special to The
News from Washington says: There is
no reason why the actual facts about the
"scene" in the senate appropriations
committee room the other day should
not be related The circumstances were
these: Mr.. Blaine was explaining to the
subcommittee the necessity of
making appropriations to carry
into effect the recommendations
Of the international conference. Mr..
Hale inquired what results were to be
expected, whereupon Mr.. Blaine, in the
impetuous manner that is characteristic
Of him, declared that If sugar was placed
upon the free list the
Greatest Results Would BE Sacrificed
which had been sought for and expected
from the international conference. He
declared that it would be the most mex
cusable piece of folly the Republicans
were ever guilty of, and that the leaders
in congress would realize it before
many months. If he was in the senate,
he said, he would
Fight 1t to the Best Of His Ability.
He spoke with the greatest earnestness,
and said he would give two years of his
life for two hours on the floor of the SEN
ate when the sugar schedule was under
consideration. Forty millions of people,
he said, had expressed their willingness
to admit our products free if we would
take the duty off their sugar, and in the
face of that proposition our congress
proposed to put sugar on the free list
without asking any concession in return.
Neither Mr.. Allison nor Mr.. Hale dis
sented, but admitted the justness of his
criticism.
The Situation In Congress
Is very singular one. The Republican
members of the house and of the senate
committee ON finance have declared in
favor of free sugar. without seeking any
concessions in return from the sugar
growing nations. The president and Mr..
Blaine have declared in the message
sent to congress last Thursday that such
action would be unwise and a sacrifice
of the best interests of the country.
1t is believed that the amendment Mr..
Hale proposed the other day
Would Be Adopted by the Senate
by large majority if it could reach a
vote. The same sentiments prevail In
the house of representatives. and at the
time MIR. Butterworsh made his speech
on reciprocity. it was estimated that at
least 100 members of the Republican
side would have expressed their concur
renee in his views If they had had the
nerve to do so.
Mr.. Blaine submitted to the ways and
means committee informally an amend
ment to the tariff bill similar to that in
troduced in the senate by Mr.. Hale, au-
thorizing the president to declare the
ports of the United States free to the
sugar of any nation, but Mr.. Mckinley
was the only one Of the Republicans
who would agree to it. The REMAINDER
objected because it would "complicate
matters."

WASHINGTON, June 25.--It may be

he said, shave everything to lose by it
and nothing to gain" Senator Teller,
of Colorado, said: 81 am not willing to
place so much authority in the hands OF
the executive. It is possible the senate
will be willing to modify the sugar
clause of the tariff bill and await such
negotiations as the president will make
with the Latin American nations, but
doubt If it will go farther than that.
Object to Free Mexican Ores.
What hits the senators from the silver
producing states is the prospect OF the
admission of Mexican ores free OF duty.
Senator Allison was quoted I'D

Mr.. Allison is absent from the city, but

SPOKANE STIRRED UP.

The City and County Authorities at War
Over a street Railway Franchise.
SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, June 25.-~A
serious collision occurred Tuesday be-
tween the authorities of Spokane county
and the city of Spokane Falls, creating
a sensation. A rivalry exists between
the Spokane Street Railway company
and the City Park Transit company,
both wanting to lay track in Division
street for electric and cable line. The
street railway company has its line in
operation and the city council ordered
the track torn up in five days. The
limit expired at midnight. As a pre-
cautianary measure the Transit COM
pany had procured an injunction from
the superior court to prevent the city
authorities from interfering with the
tracks.
Early in the morning the work of
demolition began. Acting Mayor Dav-
idson, Sheriff Hinchiff and other city
and county officials were present. The
sheriff and his deputies
Arrested the Mayor,
superintendent of streets and Captain of
Police Martin, who gave bonds, and, re-
turning to the scene, found large force
relaying the track. The police ordered
them to desist and arrested all who re-
fused, and finally took the sheriff and
his deputies into custody. State war
ran were then issued for the arrest of
all the members of the city council
and the entire police force, about sixty
five men. This disqualified the police
men and an entire force of special po-
licemen were sworn in. Upon the or
der of Judge Kinnard, Of the supreme
court, $50 deputy sheriffs were sworn in.
The militia regiment stationed here is at
the encampment near Tacoma. 500 miles
away. There has been no blood shed
so far, but bitter feeling exists, and
grave fears are entertained that per-
sonal conflict may occur.

importing Wheat.

1t creates peculiar sensation in the
mind to read about importing wheat
to the United States. Yet during the
past week a cargo of grain which had
been shipped to Liverpool was returned
TO Baltimore and sold again at profit
of some six cents a busheI. Moreover
it is believed that other cargoes in like
manner will be sent back from Europe,
and that New York as well as Baltimore
will soon receive imports OF grain. This
anomalous condition has been brought
about by peculiar combination of cir
cumstances, and while importatiors of
wheat from tcr> ign countries may be
only temporary they are sufficiently
strange to challenge attention and com
ment.
The most important Circumstance
operating TO bring about this result is
the shortage in the food crop this year.
Upon the average 45o,ooo,ooo bushels
of wheat have been harvested in the
United States during the past eight
years. But by the best authorities on
the subject it is believed that the crop
will fall short year about 100000
bushels, which, with an increasing home
demand caused by small crops in
other commodities, will possibly make
importations somewhat numerous before
the year closes.
Speculation also has entered largely
into the present condition of the wheat
market. The rise in prices at all Amer
can ports began to be sensibly felt in
the London market about fortnight
ago. This fact was Immediately sliced
upon by English spectators to "bear"
the market en- American wheat and
give preference to shipments from
Russia and India. This would enable
the capt alists to get temporary adj
vantage OF the rising market and buy
large blocks for future delivery at
lower rate. In this way wheat can be
shipped back to Baltimore again and
resold here by American shippers at
small advance over what was paid for
it month ago.
Another elsment also seems to be a
general advance in prices growing out
of the passage of the Silver market. 1t
now is on the "boom," so to speak.
Within few moaths the price of bulii)n
has advanced from S. cents to sI.I5
an ounce. India wheat is paid for at
London or Calcutta in silver, and the
price has necessarily risen through the
operations of the silver market.
1t is thus seen that only the import
duty Of 20 cents per bcshel on foreign
grain keeps out the European product
from our ports, and if the shortage shall
finally prove to be as great as it is antici-
pated even that may be no final bar to
the importation of foreign wheat. Hung.
er and necessity will recognize no laws
or hindrances to trade.-Balfim0ye
Herald.

lngs and listened 10 the endless flow OF
talk which they provoke can doubt the
efficacy OF the county fair to brighten
the life Of farming communities.
But OF late years number OF amuSe-
meuts have been added to the agrIcul-
tural and social features of the fair.
The revolving swing, the shooting gal
lery, the side show and numerous at
fractions fill the grounds, while the
races, trials of skill and other sights
make up pleasant and instructive
programme. And we see from the
various announcements which have
reached US from the counties OF Mary
land that the fairs are 10 be this year

This is a matter of encouragement
to those who have the best interests OF
the State at heart. For there is still
large place in American society for the
county fair.

No one will seek to gaInslY tie state

customs, indeed, which have stronger
hold upon the American people. To
gather at the fair grounds, there to look
upon the fruits OF industry, to pass
friendly greetings and to take part in
the recreations provided, is a great
event in the life Of country people.
The history of the county fair is lost
in the shadowy traditions of early Eng
land. From remote tines it has been
customary for Apglo-Saxon people 10
brig animals and fruits together at
stated intervals for public inspection.
The custom was BIO Ight across the sea,

annual fairs, and they are regularly held
in many townships.

Senator Quay has practically car
ried his point in the Senate, and the
Conference Committee appointed to
consider the question raised by his
resolution, have reached conclu-
sion. Tie Tariff bill, after a date to
be fixed, is to be considered under
the hve-minute rule until vote is
taken. The date OF this has not been
decided and will be subject 10 ar
rangement with the Democrats. 1t is
expected that the vote will be reach
ed about the fifth of September.
After the Tariff bill is out Of the way,
then the other measures named IN
Senator Ouav's resolution are to be
taken up and disposed of. The Elec-
ton bill will come up the first thing
after the re-assembling of Congress
in December, but the time at which
a vote shall be taken is reserved for
future consideration. The plan by
which the Republicans expect to Sc
cure the passage Of the Election bill
next session is to secure the written
pledge of majority of Senators
to be in attendance early in Deem
Der and to vote in favor Of a change
of the rules, so as to permit the ma
jority to fix a time for taking a vote
on any measure under consideration.
This pledge was generally signed by
the Republicans present, and it is
said that the pledge will be signt d
by all the members of the majority
| 1t is not asserted. however, that the
Senators will be unit in favor of the
Election bill. This course is no
doubt the wisest one to pursue, and

sidered on its merits, as it should be-
