teen miles south of here, gives news Of a
cyclone which struck that place at 2:15
O'Clock this morning. wrecking two bust
ness blocks and several residences and
overturning a passenger-coach. during
the night q severe electric storm prevailed
and in addition the rain fell IN torrents.
The atmosphere about midnight became
remarkably still, yet dense. TWAS difficult
for one to breathe. Egyptian darkness pre-
vailed. dispelled only by the vivid flashes
of lightning. at the above hour when,
without warning, large funnel
shaped cloud descended from the
heavens with an accompanying roar that
terrified the entire city. The cloud struck
the ground about 500 feet from the Bur-
lington depot. and in q moment two busi-
ness blocks, grocery store and feed store,
and three residences were torn to pieces az
if made Of paper. Timbers were carried
up into the air and lost sight of. The
cloud, after travelling about 800 feet on the
ground, rose into the air only to alight
again within block distant. II struck
the second time q trifle to the west of the
Burlington depot, and in q twinkling a
passenger-coach belonging to the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy road was hurled
into ditch and badly damaged. A con-
ductor in the employ of the company who
was sleeping in n coach was terribly
bruised and cut and may die. After wreck
ing the coach the cloud flew upward and
vanished. Fortunately none of the build
ings that were destroyed were occupied.

ALARMED FRENCH MERCHANTS
As to the Effect of the American Customs
Administrative Bill.
By Anglo-Americsn cable to tho DIspatchL

tBy AnRlo-American cable TO tho Dispatch.l
PARIS, July 19.-The American consulate
here is overrun with French merchants
making inquiries and complaining of the
effects of the American customs admins
trative bill 1t Is apparent that they have
never before been confronted with such
serious measure enforcing all absolute,
exact. and honest valuation. The belief
that no appeal On valuations will be al
lowed from the decisions of the customs
authorities increases the discomfort, de-
srite the fact that an American legation
here not long ago notified the French Gov
eminent of the insertion OF provisions by
the American Senate for appeals from such
decisions. The President Of the French
Budget Committee advocates a commercial
treaty with the United States. to take Ell
feet in 1892, when France will have regalned
her liberty.
German critics sag that the French army
never appeared to so great advantage as on
July l4th at the celebration of the fall OF
the Bastile. They especially praise the ar
tillery.
The Chamber of Commerce has sent a
petition 10 the Government asking that 1t
try TO secure delay of two months in the
time of enforcing the provisions of the
customs administrative bill. The petition
also requests the Government to open ne
gotiations with other European Powers for
the holding of q congress to adopt mea-
sures for the protection of the export
trade of Europe agalnsc the provisions OF
the bill.

Washington Notes.


WASHINGTON, July l9-Bond offerings to.
day 1922, 500. All per cents, at III, and
all accepted.
Secretary Window made the following
statement this afternoon in response to in
quIriesin regard to his bond-buying policy
The explanation of my action today is
simply this: Owing to recent very light
offerings of bonds the surplus has rapidly
accumulated, until now it is. in round
numbers, S5O, 900 900, exclusive of $23, 000.-
600 fractional silver coin. The recent act
Of Congress transferring S55.OO0. 900 from
the fund for the redemption of national
bank notes makes large portion OF this
fund also ayaible for the redemption OF
bonds. The department is. therefore, in po-
sition 10 retire considerable amount of the
Understanding obligations of the Govern
ment. and the advertisement issued TO-DAY
is simply intended to invite bondholders to
name the price at which they are willing
TO sell TO the Government. The amount to
be taken will depend largely upon the price
at which they may be offered.
II Was stated at the State Department To-
day that tho Behring-Sea fisheries CORE
spondence would undoubtedly be sent TO
congress next week. The reason of the de-
law was said to be the delay of Secretary
Ria;ne's answer to very recent dnpatch
from Lord Salisbury included in the cor
respondence to be made public.

INJUNCTION SUSTAINED,
Closing tho q" Original-Packaxe Houses
in South Dakota,
By telegraph to the Dispatch

ST. PAUL, July Ie.-The Pioneer Prsss's
special from Chamberlain's says: Judge
Hainey. OF this district. has sustained his
temporary injunction closing the original
package houses in this city. The grounds
given for the decision are that the enabling
act admitting South Dakota to statehood
authorized the enactment of prohibition
clause in the State Constitution. Such ena-
bling act having been passed by Congress
subsequent to the passage of the interstate
commerce law. the prohibition law has re-
ceived tho sanction Of Congress, and the
Supreme Court decision does not therefore
apply to South Dakota. This brings up
the new. question. which will be carried.
and which if sustained VIII be of great i'm
portance TO all Of the new States which
have adopted prohibition.
