Irresistible Fury of the storm-Extent
Becoming Known.
CALCUTTA, Nov. 1O.-Further details re-
garding the cyclone which passed oyer this
part of India on Monday Of last week show
that the damage was very extensive. Be-
sides the loss Of seven lives occasioned by
the sinking of the India governmment's
steamer Enterprise, which foundered ut tho
Andaman islands. and the killing of sixty
convicts, there has no doubt been q largo
loss OF life at other places along the coast.
Advlces from various parts OF the Orisua
province in Bengal state that the cyclone
passed over that section of the country
and did great damage. II cleared path
through forests, uprooting gigantic trees
and hufling them aside as though they were
reeds. No house could stand the terrible
energy of the gale and every dwelling or
structure within the path of the cvcione
was either swept from its foundation or
turned over. The wind also did much dam
age below Calcutta.
The city ID situated on the east bank of
the Hoogly river, the western branch of
the Ganges. The Hoogly river empties into
tho bay of Bengal. A large number of yes
sells were at anchor off the mouth of tho
Hoogly river, and in such a position that
whom the gale suddenly burst it was i'm
possible to save many of them. Numbers
dragged their anchors and were carried
ashore, and others were damaged by the
pounding received from the enormous sea
which accompanied the storm. No esti-
mate can as yet be made as to the total loss
of life, but it will be very large.

AUTOMATIC COUPLERS.

But Comparatively Few Freight Cars
Equipped With Them.
New YoRK, Nov. 10.-Ths committee ap-
railroad commissioners to secure congress
sional action looking to uniformity OF
safety appliances for railroad cars met
There was large attendance of railway
men from all parts of the country. Chair
man Crocker opened the proceedings by
reading replies which the committee had
received from companies representing 1885,
OO0 miles of railroad concerning the kind Of
automatic counlors and brakes used on
freight cars. Thoy fix the total number of
Of which number only 1923, 800 was shown to
be equipped with automatic car eouplers.
Chairman Crocker said that in ths opin-
ion of the committe imperative action
should be taken by congress- to hasten and
insure tho equipment OF freight cars
matte couplers and brakes. In coup
ling or uncoupling cars there were killed
during the year ended June 80, 1889, over
800. while 6,757 were injured. During the
following year 360 were killed and 7,84l in
jured. Col. Haines, president of the
American Railroad association, reminded
the committee that the association
was now engaged in making the master oar
builders coupler, the vertical hook. the
standard coupler throughout the system,
that type having been agreed upon as best.
Haines said there were 10000 freight
cars in tho country, only 100000 of which
are equipped with automatic couplers. Tho
cost of equipping the other LOCO. 600 would
ho $25, ,000, 900, and five years. time at least
would be required. The aggregate cost of
fitting up cars with airbrakes the country
oyer would be $50,000000. These things
must be considered.

BIG CORN CROP.

One of the Largest in yolume--Average
About Twenty-Six Bushels.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Statistical returns
to the department of agriculture for No
vomber make the corn crop one of the
largest in volume, with the rate Of yield
slightly above an average of twenty-six
bushels per acre. The condition has not
been very high at any period of its growth,
but it has been quite uniform, with no
record Of more than 10 per cent of disabil-
tiles from all causes. Planting was irreRu-
lar and late in many places, growth tardy
and uneven, and fears of drought or foods
or frosts were very generally felt in the
latter part of the season. Storms in some
sections threatened loss. which was minin-
lied. Drought in others checked growth,
which was stimulated again by opportune
seasons of moisture. Frosts made an early
threat of disaster and then delayed appear
ance through the entire month of Septem-
ber, which was warm and forced the drying
out of soft corn and the shrivelling Of inn

The October condition of potatoes has
only been equalled once since 1880, and the
average yield, according to these prelim-
nary estimates, has not been surpassed in
ten years. 1t averages 93.9 bushels per acre.
Hay has made nearly an average yield and

In Session ut Sedalia-Two Causes Of De-
preston.
SEDALrA, Mo-. Nov. 10.-The eleventh an
nual session of the Farmers congress began
three days convention here this morning
with 275 delegates and large number Of
visitors in attendance. Thirty states and
territories are represented. Woods opera
house, where the congress ID held, was elab-
orately decorated with farm products. The
welcoming addresses were delivered by
Coy. Francis, Mayor Carroll, of Sedalia,
and Frank b. Meyer, president of the Sc
dalia Commercial club. They were re-
sponded to by Hon. A. w. Smith. OF Kan
and B. L. L. Clayton, of Iowa, secretary of
the Farmers congress.
In the absence Of President Kalb, Of Ala
bama, who was unavoidably absent, Vice
President Smith, of Kansas, presided.
Gov. Francis, in his address of welcome,
tent cause of the depression Of the agricul-
tural interest. This depression had been
OF long continuance and it was time now
that the farmer was given recognition in
the councils of the nation. There were two
great questions, the proper solution OF
which would tend to amsliorate the farm
ers' condition. One WAS the Improvements
OF the great water courses, which would
furnish cheap transportation for farm pro-
ducts Tho Missouri river could be i'm
proved az COST OF S2U,UOU,OOu, q SUM small
compared with expenditures of the billion
dollar congress. The other question was
the improvement of country roads, which
would furnish good transportation for
small farmers to the nearest markets.
Vice-Presidsnt Smith, In his response.
agreed with the governor that the great
water courses should be improved. both in
tho interest of the farmer, manufacturer
and merchant. Twenty million dollars was
a small amount to be devoted to the i'm
provement of a big river like the Missouri.
He was not alarmed. he said, at any billion
dollar congress. He thanked God he lived
in country where the appropriation of
billion dollars by one congress would not
bankrupt the treasury. The agricultural
interest was the greatest interest Of the ma
t ion and legislation should take it more in
to account than it does.

ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN.
Those on the Bolt Line Declare n Strike
Probable Consequence.

Those ON the Belt Line Declare y Strike
Probable Consequences.
ST.. Louis, Nov. l0.-The engineerssand
fremen of the Belt line have Just declared
a strike. This will probably spread to
other lines. as Mr.. Arthur has stated that
no freight will be handled by the brother
hood going to the Belt line or to Wiggins'
ferry. There are but fitty-two engineers
and firemen in the employ of the Virgins
company, and a strike of them alone would
not amount to much, but the Belt line han
dies nearly all freight sent over eastern
roads for this city. and tie-up of the Belt
line would leave an immense amount of
freight consigned to st. Louis and seriously
affect the trade of this city. Then, too, IL
the men on other roads refused to haul cars
consigned to or from the Virgins ferry, as
Chief Arthur says they will, the roads are
very apt to attempt to force them, and if
they do. strike Oh the big western roads
would result. The strike has been ordered
for noon tomorrow.

The Combination Is Quite Euphon-
ious and Falls Trippingly
From the Tongue.
Congressman Springer Says the
Latter's Election Puts Him
Right In Line.
Illinois IL Counted Doubtful, with Strong
Democratic Inciinatlons-A Big
Corn Crop.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lO.-"Illinoia is now a
doubtful state with probability that she
will 20 into the democratic column" Thus
spoke Representative William M. Springer
% he sat in tho library of his home which
ovsrlooks tho capitol. He was just back
from six weeks of the hardest campaigning
he had ever done in his life and was now
ready to take off his coat for the speaker
ship struggle.
II base my view on the fact that Iowa has
given such a large democratic majority.
Like causes produce like effects. Iowa is
alongside Illinois and the two states have
tendencies and interest in common, SO that
I construs the democratic tendency in Iowa
to indicate similar tendency in Illinois,
which is sure to find expression at the next
election. spent six weeks in Iowa during
the hottest period Of the campaign and
covered 2,700 miles.
'It gave me an opportunity to get at the
tendency of the people and am convinced
that the prohibition question had very little
to do with Gov. Boiss' election. Wherever
] went the people insisted on hearing the
tariff question discussed and not prohibi-
tion. The democrats got their full gains
on prohibition prior to the last election, so
that their large gains last Tuesday must be
attributed to the feeling in the rural dis
tricts in favor Of reduction Of the tariff.
The rural districts of Illinois are affected
in the same way rs those in Iowa, and it
certainly makes Illinois doubtful state
with leaning toward the democratic side.
"The election of Gov. Boies puts him in
liza for ~,
tial ticket. Cleveland and Boies sounds
very well. and have met with many demo-
Gratis through tho east who are talking of
this combination. Iowa is now entitled to
more consideration by the democrats as
doubtful state than Indiana. Iowa gave
5000 majority for Boies, while Indiana gave
1000 majority for Harrison. Under thoas
circumstances Iowa is moro of doubtful
tention than Indiana in looking for presi-
Dental timber. At one time l feared that
Mr.. Cleyeland's anti-silver expression
mightsiaiure his chances for denomination,
but the prominence he took in the Flower
campaign ia New York has brought about
general feeling among democrats that Mr..
Cleveland will be the nominee"
Mr.. Springer is not conducting brass
band speakership fight. He is making no
claims and has not as yet determined on
his plan of campaign. Mr.. Springer ex-
poets that an effort will be made to drag
the Worlds fair into the speakership con-
test. The New York Sun has been harping
on his opposition to the centennial loan,
and has endeavorsd to show that Mr..
Springer could not stultify himself by sup
porting loan to tho Chicago exposition.
Mr.. Springer declines to state what his
position is on the loan question, as he says
he has come to no positive conclusion and
his views might be used by other speaker
ship candidates as club against him.

1T BLEW GREAT GUNS.
High Velocity of the Wind ON Monday
Evening, Followed by Snow.


Evening, Followed by Snow.
Signal Officer Il. j. Glass, in charge of
the Helena station, says the high wind in
Helena on Monday evening was of a cy-
clonic character. According to his record
at 6:25 it attained velocity of sixty miles
an hour, but this was only for a minute.
The average velocity from six to nine p. m.
was thirty-six miles an hour. After that it,
dropped down until at 10 it was blowing at
the rate of eighteen miles an honr. The
snow fall which followed only amounted to
.26 of an inch. while the lowest tempera-
ture was twenty-four above. The coldest
SO far this season, except last night, was on
Oct 2, when it dropped to nineteen above.
Last night at about the supper hour the
mercury stood at 1877.
Talking of the state weather service. Mr..
Glass said he had already number of sta
tions ON which he could count, but he was
anxious to cover the whole field. There is
some difficulty in getting volunteer observ-
ers, as those latter are asked to buy their
own instruments, which cost about $40.
He suggests that those who would be bene-
fitted by the reports and oitv councils or
county commissioners might all chip in and
buy the instruments for the volunteer OBJ
server. The stations at which arrangements
have been made, or where observers are
now stationed are Miles City, Fort Buford,
Fort Assinaboine, Fort Custer, Poplar
River, Castle, Choteau, Custer, Deer Lodge.
Fort Mlssoula, Fort Shaw, Glendive and
MartiDsdale. Mr.. Glass has been in the
service for ten years, his last station being
at Cairo, Ill. He made tho first weather
map published by that station, and is
anxious to publish one for Montana. He
has made application to the chief signal
officer at Washington to do so. and if the
Helena Board of Trade will take the matter
up Mr.. Glass believes his request will be
granted. He considers the Helena climate
as something phenomenal, and believes that
il daily map were issued, showing Off
oialIy just how pleasant the winters are
here, il would be u great benefit to the
aknfo
