Secretary Foster has found job for ex-
Representative rosvenor that will take him
out of Ohio quite as effectively as if he had
remained a member of the immigration CON-
mission. GrOSvenor is to be special Worlds
fair commissioner to look after the admiS-
sion of foreign goods to be exhibited at the
fair, and it is understood he will sail for
Europe about the same time as the COM
mission from which he had to resign be-
cause of his foolish utterances relative to
undesirable immigrants.
As Foraker appears to be the high priest
of the Republican party in Ohio just now,
it is highly desirable to the leaders that
Grosvenor shall have no opportunity to run
up against him during the campaign.
''Harmony'' disappears promptly when
Foraker and Grosvenor get within hearing
distance of each other In his character of
general peace promoter, Secretary Foster
sees danger in letting Grosvenor remain in
the country, and so the distinguished ex-
congressman is provided with another
place. 1t is asserted the members of
the Worlds fair commission are good deal
annoyed at Grosvenor's appointment. He
lost his place on the immigration commits
sion because he used language offensive to
foreigners. and it strikes them that the sec
rotary might have found man who would
be more popular with Europeans, who are
to be urged to take part in the exposition.
They forget, however, that it was necessary
to keep Grosvenor out of Ohio while Fora
ker is running the Republican machine in

CYCLONIC.
Considerable Damage Reported from
Kansas and Arkansas Points.
Several Lives Lost.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, June 20.-NewS has
reached here of a destructive storm in the
eastern portion of Crittenden county, some
miles from Marion. A large area of country
was devastated. Dwellings and barns were
unroofed and blown down, fencing carried
away and large patches of timber leveled
to the earth. Mrs. Sarah Shadrick was
struck by flying piece of timber and her
neck broken. A stavemaker, named Meyer,
was crushed by falling tree, and two boys,
sons of Millman Hollingsworth are miss
ing, and it is believed We're killed.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 20.-Specials re-
port a terrible rain and wind storm in the
vicinity of Osceola last night. About six
inches of water fell. Great damage was
on the Kansas City, Osceola and Southern
road was ditched three miles from there,
killing Engineer Lightner. Manager Gran
dali, who is thought to have been on the
train, is missing. AT Emporia three and a
half inches fell in two hours. Nearly
every cellar in town is flooded, and the
lower floors of many houses were covered
with water to the depth of several inches
Wheat and corn has suffered damage.
The cyclone which passed over Arkansas
City last night did great damage fifteen
miles southeast of there. The dwellings of
John Bourman, W. Bennett, Samuel Brown,
K. Kersey and w. NJ. Brown were COM
pletely wrecked. AL the inmates escaped
without serious injury except Mrs. Eliza
beth Bourman, who was fatally injured. A
daughter of Mr.. Bennett was in the cellar
and was completely buried under the
debris, but escaped unhurt. A large num-
Der of barns and granaries were blown
down.
At Fort Scott during the storm and over
flow last night of Buck run, rescuing
party were compelled to abandon their
boat Two of the men saved their lives by
catching hold of trees, but the other, John

with his own petard. At present writing
the whole thing is a deadly boomerang.
There is singular coincidence between
this investigation and the move by the Fed
eral court at Tyler to take the International
and Great Northern out of the hands of the
state court. 1t is regarded here by the
friends of the administration as high
handed piece of business, in so far as it
seems to be an effort to ride rough-shod
over state courts and state officials. The
Intervention Of the Encouragement in the
International and Great Northern receiver
ship to secure forfeiture of SIS, 900, 900
worth of that roads bonds on the ground
that they are fictitious and unauthorized
is now pending on appeal in the supreme
court, decision on which is expected soon.
The move at Tyler seems to be an effort
on the part of the Federal judge, in connec-
ton with the inquiry at Galveston, to in
tinidate the state courts and officials and
wrest from them the road and the bonds in
litigation. If SO there is apt to be some fun
ahead. The governor has lots of nerve and
a good firm backbone, which can be conf
IDENTIFY relied on in such an emergency, if
they can be of any avail.
A SPECIAL SESSION.
Representatives Bell of Burleson and
Vestal of Leon, both members of the late
legislature and friends of the governor, are
here, and say the sentiment in their coun-
ties is very strong for a special session.
Interest in this question is growing rapidly
and will soon make itself felt

Gold Shipments.
Special to the Gazette.

New YORK, June 19-Lazard F'reres will
ship s., OO0. 900 in gold to the continent to-
morrow Exchange bankers regard this
shipment as legitimate transaction, based
on the fact that sales of bills to mercantile
firms are largely bought, and at high enough
rates to make the shipment OF gold show q
slight profit. The firm has the reputation
of doing very large counter business,
and thus obtains slightly better returns
from sales than ordinary transactions be-
tween bankers can show.
Shortly before noon 81, $50, 900 in gold was
taken from the sub-treasury by Lazard
Freres, the balance of the shipment being
taken from the city banks.
A further shipment of S2.5O0000 in gold
will be made by Kidder, Peabody & Co.,
from Boston, tomorrow.

Special to the Gazette.
SPARrANBuRe, S. c., June 20.-George D.
Tillman, member of congress from the
Second district, gives his opinion on several
important national issues. As to the third
party, he says it will never amount to any,
thing in the South or anywhere else. That
it was Matched under the patronage of i'm
practicable men. great many of whom
have made failure of everything they
have ever undertaken. As to the free coin
age of silver, he declares his abiding faith
in the success of the measure. He thought
Cleveland stood no chance at all for the
nomination, and would certainly be defeated
if nominated. Outside of the fact that he
thought Cleveland was not the man for the
office, he said that no army likes to follow
a defeated general. If Campbell carried
Ohio at the next election, Tillman said he
would not be surprised if he should be
nominated. If not, then Hill would get
either New York or Ohio. German came
from too small state to be nominated. As
to the speakership of the next house, he
said he thought Crisp would be elected.

News From Chill.

WASHINGTON, June 1S-Official mails
from Chill received here bring exciting
news from there. The house of deputies
has prepared bill authorizing the president

however. a decree has also been issued
forbidding groups of more than three per-
sons standing together in the streets,
squares or public places of Santiago. Per-
sons guilty of the infringement of this de-
cree will be liable to a fine of SIS to 800.
BY another decree all the theaters of San
tiago are closed until further notice. Under
authority of congress all the gold and silver
in the treasury of Chill. composing what is
known as the metallic reserve, was sold at
auction on May Is The coined silver was
sold in lots of 5000 and upwards and the
bar silver in lots of 1000 kilograms and up
wards.

Ohio Democrats

in Washington are not at all worried over
the nomination of Mckinley as the Repub-
lican candidate for governor of their state.
1t was, of course, no surprise to hear it,
as it had been anticipated for months, but
the speeches of Foraker and Mckinley be-
fore the convention are a very agreeable
surprise to Democrats. Foraker's plain in
timation that he has not forgotten the Re
publicans who knitted him and that in his
opinion, the user of political razor is
sneaking hypocritical scoundrel, is very
satisfactory to Democrats, while they say
that they want no better platform to attack
than McKinley's demogogical speech The
utter lack of attention shown to Senator
Sherman in contrast with the glorification
of Foraker is also very satisfactory to Dem
ocrats who fail to find in it any indications
of the delightful harmony the Republicans
made such boasts of

ble's return relates TO the Raum case. which
has been supposed to be awaiting confer

popular expectation on this subject has been
IN error. Raum, for some mysterious rea-
son, seems to be firm in his place. He de-
clares confidently that his course as COM

proyal of both the secretary of the interior
