Other buildings were demolished or
badly wrecked. Passing from the
starting point the cyclone struck
Lake Joanna, Lake Gervais, Lake
Vadnais, Lake Canady and passed
on about four miles to the east of
White Bear Lake.
The help that was called for from
the stricken district was at once sent
to them, doctors and other assist
ance going as fast as they could be
taken. The bodies of those killed
were brought to the city this even
ing and turned over to their friends
One of the most thrilling events
of the great disaster was the race
with the storm king of the regular
afternoon south bound train On the
st. Paul and Duluth road. As the
train drew into Vadnais Station a
great storm was seen raging about
two miles northwest. A tremendi-
GUS cone shaped cloud was swirling
along at a terrific pace and looked
like a waterspout. The conductor
seeing the approaching storm Or
dered the train to move on immedi-
ately. The engineer threw open the
throttle and the cars sped away.
The passengers ran to the windows
and some of them to the platforms,
but the trainmen showed them back
into the cars, ordered them to shut
down the windows and keep their
seats. The train soon attained an
awful speed, at least mile and a
half minute, and the cars seemed
to take great leaps through the air
and rocked back and forth like a
ship on an angry sea- The cyclone
struck the station and smashed it
into splinters less than minute
after the train passed, and the run
to St. Paul, six miles, was made in
less than four minutes.
The storm touched the earth Oh
the farm of James J. Hill, president
of the Great Northern Railway
wrecking several buildings and kill.
ing three laborers and many head
of blooded stock.
At Vadnais Station, on the St
Paul and Duluth road, six mile'
from st. Paul, seven persons are re
ported killed.

ing thereof to the president, who
shall transmit the same to congress.
Said commissioners shall receive the
sum of $4,000 and their reasonable
expenses to be approved by the sec.
retary of state; and the amount nee
essary to pay such compensation and
expenses is hereby appropriated out
OF any money in the teasury not 9TH
wise appropriated.
This measure viii be referred to
the committee of finance, with an
understanding that it shall receive
prompt action and as soon as it
shall have been reported back the
senate will be urged to pass it.
The sentiment of both the house
and senate has been clearly manifest
ed in favor of the establishment of a
common ratio and of fixing the rela-
tive value of silver and gold. 1t is
therefore expected that the interna-
tional conference proposed by this
joint resolution will meet with uni
versal favor in congress and that no
obstacle to the immediate passage
OF the measure will be encountered
in either house.
Representative Bland has been q
carful listener to the senate debates
this week and has rather enjoyed the
predicament in which the republi-
cans fine themselves. He expects
the house to adopt the conference
report also but before it is done he
proposes to expose the weak points
in the bill and will endeavor to show
that this legislation will degrade and
debase silver and that the secretary
OF the treasury can, if he sees fit,
discriminate in favor of gold. Mr..
Bland and other leading democrats
hold that the secretary Of the treas
ury can refuse under the power to
be given him to coin any silver.

The Democratic congressional con
vention for the Sixteen enth district of
Ohio, which met at Columbus last
week, nominated, Friday evening,
John G. Warwick for congress
The resolutions adopted by the
convention say, among other things:
eve call the attention Of soldiers to
the failure of Major Mckinley to
support the G. A. r. service pension
bill as piece of treachery to inter-
ests to which he has long professed
to be especially loyal, and now, a.
ever in the past, favor liberal deal
ing with the veterans of the late war
ON the basis Of meritorlous service.
That tariff reform is necessary in
order that manufacturers may be
freed from unnecessary tax on raw
materials, laborers and farmers re-
lieved from taxation on the necesss-
ries of life. and consumers disbur-
dened of the incubus of excessive
taxes laid only for the production
of q surplus which become the spoil
of party parasites and public plum
derers."

The most important legal opinion
of the day is the judgement render
ed by Kansas justice of the peace
that the decision of the United
States Supreme court is not good
law. It may be added that it was
considered pretty good law until
overruled by the justice. OF course
the Kansas ruling will give rise to
many complications and the battle
must be fought all over again 1t
is pity that the great legal minds
of this country should SO differ on a
question of constitutional propriety.

A pathetic scene took place at the
Confederate reunion at Chattanooga c
Tenn, last Saturday. Gen. G. w.
Gordon Tennessee Gorden) came
forward and said; Before you dis.
perse we want to show you some
thing. Iknow you will all be glad
to see it." He carefully unfolded the
wrappings of white paper, and held
up with both hands the remnants of
a Confederate battle-1ag. The
shreds, the holes and the stains
were eloquent. At the sight of them
the veterans winked their eyes and
breathed hard. Gen. Gorden kept
silent for a minute, and then said:
at is dead. It will do no harm,
It was the battle flag of the 11th
Tennessee, and It has this appear
ance after passing through the bat
ties of Chickamauga, Mission Ridge,
Resacca, Kennesaw, Atlanta, Jones'
boro and other battles. -Four sold
iers fell with it in their hands at the
battle of Mission Ridge, and fifth
soldier carried it from the field"
Gen. Gordon stopped TO swallow a
lump in his throat, and proceeded:
''This discoloration which you see
on the white Of the flag is the blood
Of gallant Ensign Lieut.. Drew, who
fell at Franklin Tenn. He was not
a Tennesseean, but was from Louis
iana-a brother of the well-known
commander of the Louisiana Tigers.
Capt. Clark, of the 11th Tenn, Sc
cured this flag at Bentonville. He
knew the surrender was at hand
He took the flag from its staff, put
it in his bosom and brought it hom'
wearing it between his outer ant
under shirts. He gave it to nj
after I was released as prisoner Of
war. For twenty five years I hav'
kept the flag, and, God helping mi
I will keep it until this LIES trou
bled dream is ended, and then I hop
it may be buried with me-" As tn
meeting broke up the veterans i,
twos and threes and squads; wen
up to the platform; looked at tn
relic as if it was some sacred thing
and wept. Great tears rolled dow,
, the tanned and wrinkled cheeks, an
were wiped with shirt sleeves
There were no Confederate flag
used upon the occasion and the bel
!, of feeling prevailed.

The fact that at Chattanooga
where 5000 confederate veterans
were assembled in reunion only the
stars and the stripes foated to the
breeze and only loyal sentiment
were cheered, is deeply significant
of the new temper of the Southern
people. It is proof also that the
federal election bill is about twenty
five years behind the times.-Louis-

Burning at Both Ends.

The farmers candle is burned at
both ends by the tariff policy. The
cost of his products is made greater
their price is made less. Until the
farmer sees this and joins in the
effort to reform the tariff he neglects
the best m cans of making his politi,
cal action aid in the relief of bis
present difficulties.

R5raker and the Ballot Bo. FORGERY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Foraker de
nounced Wood as notorious foreer and
! periurer, and declared that he counted
seventy nine unqualified and unmitigated
falsehoods in his (Wood's) testimony. The
affair had been to him very bitter expert
ence, notifying and humiliating to the last
degree, but from the beginning to the last
there never had been moment when all the
world might not nave had all the informa-
ton he had. He would think till the day of
his death that behind all this there was
some sort OF paper; but he did not want any
man TO Imagine that he asserted that an yone
whose name was on that forged paper was
on the paper believed to have existed. He
dld not believe that Wood could have con-
celVeo the heading and collateral security
on the paper out of his own imagination
ana must have received aid from some
other paper or other person.
VICE resumed the stand for few min
uues/8ao asserted that the whole thing

any paper, but what Foraker and MADDEN
suppressed on his mind when the talked

Ehey knew what they were talking abont
MADDEN told him the governor wantaJ
oluffer and Foraker got buffer to bluff
Ben Butterworth. Wood declared he nm
herstood the paper was never to leave For
Rkers hands but was to be used as bluff
Before the committee adjourned Gov
Prnor Foraker resumed the stand for the
purpose of making an explanation of var
Gus matters which had spoken of in the
tourse of the investigation. He referred
TO several incidents which tended to con
firm, in his mind, the belief of the genui- |
hess of the ballot box paper. Woods never
told him the names would not stand nor
lid he use any words calculated to put
'orakeryn his guard in any manner. The |
governor never had said to Wood or any |
fne that ne would use the paper on Butter
worth.

warm fight in the commons to CAV. Cbarl-
ton, member for Oxford, asked the pre-
mier if the attention OF the governments
had been officially called to the disgraceful
Hull riot last night. He charged the first
minister with palliating and winkinc at
such outrages in order to secure the
Roman Catholic vote. '
Sir John Macdonald replied warmly re-
senting the charge. The matter. he de-
clared, was for Quebec to look after: the
federal authorities had no Jurisdiction. He
charged Charlton with endeavoring to fan
into flame the embers of race and creed
