OF tnunueT IoiloWeu. hardly had the
echoes died away when the cyclone bnrst
upon tho city and
BRIEF REIGN OF TERROR
And desolation succeeded. When that
was past, and the people scarcely oared
to venture out of their dismantled homes
ss the storm still continued in q modified
form and severe wind prevailed
throughout the evening and night. with
the temperature steadily failing, swav-
ing and threatening walls marked every
corner along the track of the cyclone
and the streets locked as if an earth ;
quake had raked them, scattering the
debris of roofs, chimneys and church
spires down into the broad thorough
fares, until an aspect of general ruin pre-.
pailed.
A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED.
Following the sleet storm of last Tues
day night, the effect of today's storm
upon the telegraph and telephone SER
vice was disastrous, and there is a net
work of tangled and swaying wires in
every street. The effect of the storm is
perceptible at every foot of its progress.
1t wrecked its fullest force of fury in the
northeastern portion of st. Louis, as it
approached the river. Any estimate of
the financial loss caused by the cyclone
is rendered impossible at the present
moment, but there is no doubt that the
total will come into a magnitude that
will cause the day to be a memorable
one.
Frank Wilkins says: at was a revolv-
ing wind storm, lasting about FIVE min
utes, twisting oft the corners of houses,
tearing down factory chimneys and fill
ing the air with whirling mass of bricks
and timbers. The tin roof of q resi-
dence, torn off by the cyclone,
WAS twisted into almost COM
pact mass, being dropped finally
in the street not covering space larger
than a doorway. When the storm
neared my house the air seemed white
with the debris of ,oofs, chimney mortar,
brick.dust and other materials. 1t
struck only the corner of my house, tear
ing eff portion of the roof, and passed
down towards the corner of Twentieth
and .Eugenia. Buildings we're damaged
and wrecked on all sides. and the entire
neighborhoOd WAS panic stricken for sew
eral minutes"
THE LATEST REPORTS.
A man named John Charles was
hurled from a wagon, which over
turned, ana was thrown across the street
and against the front of house. Charles
received severe injury about the head,
ans bis arm was injured by being struck
by heavy piece of fving debris.
A residence on Papin street, juss east
of Jefferson avenue, mad the entire roof
blown awav and side wall dashed in
Breen's residence, northeast corner of
Twenty-sscoud street and Randolp, lost
its roof and had other damage.
At this hour, l 20 q. NJ, thermometer
marks % degrees above zero, and per-
feet gale is blowing. The reported deaths
at Venice, Illinois, prove unfounded.
Two men were buried beneath the ruins
at Brooklyn and were taken to Venice
for surgical treatment, and from that in.
cident the rumor sprang.

THE fight of the cities for the Worlds
Fair is getting to be interesting. We on
the Pacific Coast have been accused of
being the most horid and ELUSIVE
gushers about the marvellous merits of
our part Of the United States on the face
of the globe. But we are mere tyros,
novices, acolytes on the steps Of the
temple of brag, to the tooters for Chicago
and New York. Depew is master of
the art, and streams g byperbolical
praise to the transcending claims of
Gotham gush from his mouth like
fragrant waters from scented fountain.
And when it comes to the sweet-voiced
orators of Chicago, they are immense.
The honey from the New Workers. tongue
is as bi ter aloes to the sugared juices
that Bryan exudes from every pore in
praise of the city of immense acreage and
Gargantuan feet. We had thought that
Los Angeles possessed representative
men who were no slouches at Dragging
about the merits of their town. But
the Chicsgoans can give US four
Kings and an ace and rake in the
pot. 1t was rather mean, however,
on the part of Judge Bryan to twit the
New Workers about their public spirit
1t was not exactly the fair thing at this
crucial tournament of brag to remind
Depew that if his gems of rhetoric could
be converted into slabs of marble there
might be some hope that Grants monu.
ment and the centennial arch would ye,
decorate the public places of New York
City. Alas that gentlemen should for.
get, in their pride of place, the amenities
of courteous debate! But what can the
immortal Four Hundred, whose ances.
tors date back to Heinrich Won
Spuyten Duyvil. expect from representa-.
tives of the Wild West, the unpublished
children Of new and rugged civilization.
They had no ancestors who smoked
Dutch pipes and drank Schiedam
schnapps to soften the natural asperities
of their rough natures. But their rugged
frontier eloquence is backed by more
rugged frontier energy, and if they don't
get away with the representatives of the
effeminate civilization which has made
New York British appanage in its
speech and manners, we shall be greatly
astonished.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-The most,
important, as we'll as the most percept-
ible progress in the work of Legislation
in Congress, is still shown in com.
mittees. According to notice given.
Plumb will address the Senate tomorrow
upon the resolution introduced by him
last week regarding the releasing. of tie
Alaska seal fisheries.
The credentials of the four Senators
elected by the rival Legislatures of Mon
tana are expected to be laid before the
Senate this week. Objection will be
made to seating either the Republic. n
or Democratic contestants, pending an
investigation and report upon their
claims by the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. A member of that com
mittee said today that he was 10 favor of
going fully into the question of the legal
ity of the organization of the Montana
Legislatures.
The Committee on Territories tomor-
row will hear representatives of the
Idaho Mormons who opposed the bill to
admit that Territory as State, because
the proposed constitution excludes Nor
mons from citizenship. If the committee
decides that the objections of the Nor
mons are not well founded, the bills for
the admission of Idaho and Wyoming
will be reported favorably at once.
Regular House committees have
generally completed their organization,
but none Of them have SO far
progressed in their work as to be able to
present any legislative material for &C.
ton upon by the House this week.
The special committee on tie Silcott
defalcation has completed its labors and
expects to present its report to the House
tomorrow.
Indications are that the long. expected
code of new rules will be reported from
the Committee on Rules this week. The
members of the minority are generally
conversant with the changes of the old
code that are in contemplation, and are
preparing themselves for vigorous at
tack upon the committees report, which,
as they understand, proposes to seriously
curtail their power to effect legislation.

CLEVER JAIL-BREAKING.
San Francisco Prisoners Free
Themselves.
SIX MEN MAKE THEIR ESCAPE
One of them a Condemned Murderer.
Rewards offered for Their
Apprehension.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALr
SAN Francisco, January 12.-One OF
the most noted Jail breaks in the history
of San Francisco occurred early this
morning, when six prisoners. one of them
a condemned murderer, escaped from the
County Jail. Up to late hour tonight
not one of them had been apprehended.
A little after 8 o'clock man named
Julius Rosenberg, tamale peddler, ex.
citedly approached a police officer and
told him six prisoners had few mo.
ments before escaped from the County
Jail, and that he had been caught and
held for time by the first prisoner es.
Gaping. Investigation showed the facts
to be as Rosenberg had stated.
All the prisoners in the cells on the
northwest end of the corridor had cut
through each others cells to room used
as bathroom at the end of the court.
From the bath.ro they worked their
way into the main corridor of the Jail
and thence into the Jail yard. Here they
climbed upon a woodpile and broke
through an old chimney against the
outer wall. After one man had escaped
he pulled the other five men through
the small hole, and as soon as all were
free they ran like the wind up a narrow
alley, and thence down a street. Search
was Immediately instituted, but not a
single trace of the men has yet been
found.
One OF the men is John McNulty, who
killed man named Collins, here, nearly
three years ago. He was convicted Of
murder in the first degree last April and
sentenced to be hanged. His case is
now before the Supreme Court on mo-
ton for new trial. The names of the
other escapes are: Erick Erickson, mail
robber; H. P. Edwsrds, forgery: James
Kenney. J oseph Riordan and John Sui.
livan, all in for robbery.
Sheriff Laumeister has offered $10O
each for the capture of Erickson and Me-
Nulty, add $50 for each of the others.
kilograms have been sent to all the ad /.
joining towns, giving descriptions
of the men, and urging the Off
GERS to look out for them.
Most of the men are 80 we'll known that
their capture is deemed almost certain.
Where the prisoners secured their tools
and how they could have worked for
hours without being detected, is mys
terry that is now under investigation.
