CYCLONE! TORNADO! WIND STORM

Do you realize the widespread
destruction DUNG last mouth by
cyclones, tornados and wind
storms? Do you fully realize it
and appreciate that no Que knows
when or where the next storm will
strike?
By the storm of the 9th ult. the
Continental Insurance Co., alone
had eighty-nine (S9) losses of
this character reported from Da-
kota, Minnesota and Iowa. On
the 26th ult. Cerro Gordo, Ill,
had twenty houses wrecked, be-
sides which severe damages oc-
Cured at Bloomington and Le-
banon, Indiana. On the 31st ult.
a cyclone started in at Lyons,
Kansas. touching Salina in that
state, and other intermediate
points with damaging effect, cul-
minating In nearly the total de-
struction of Nelson, Nebl aska,
where thirty dwellings were de-
stroyed, besides wrecking several
business blocks. The loss of life
is not as yet known at any point;
the loss of property al Nelson IS
estimated Mt over 500, 900, 90, with
no tornado insurance, and it is
safe to assume that the loss of
property at other points in the
track of the storm will be as much
more. At Nelson, Nebraska, and
Lebanon. Iudlana, the cyclone was
preceded by a violent hail storm
We helieve we need not call
your attention is the fact that the
location of OF date Of the next
cyclone is unknown We have
agents who realize this so thor
oughly that, notwithstanding there
never has been a cyclone III their
particular field, write the majorl-
ty Of their business combined,
some of them to the extent of 90
per cent of it. The day may
come when their patrons may
have cause to thank them, and the
same may be the case in this
field. Nelson, Nebraska, did not
have any cyclone insurance. If
the people had been solicited for
this class of business in an in
telligent and energetic manner
they would not to-day be depend
ent upon public charity to help
them in their great need. We
think a word to the wise is
eraugh.
Later news informs US that the
destruction by the storm of 31st
ult, is the most wide spread in the
history Of cyclones.
| have Sof the largest insurance
companies in the world that would
be proud to indemnify all persons
having losses by wind storms, tor
nados or cyclones.

parry of this county can not write
cyclone policies, and am helping
them out in this matter.

Detailed Report OF tho Seizure of an
American Bark Received.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 29.--The detailed
report of the seizure of the American bark
Cape Horn Pigeon by the Russian author
ities In the Okhotsk Sea in July last, has
been received at the department of state
No claim Is made by the Russian authori-
ties that the Okhotsk Is a "closed sea ~
but the Russian cruiser exercised the right
OF seizure on the charge OF taking seals on
the high sea. The American vessel was So
miles from land.
At Vladinstock 1t was decided the seiz-
ure was not warranted as no seal skins
were found on the vessel nor appliances
for catching seals. The vessel was there
fore discharged and compensation prom
ised. The case shows that Russia is
In accord with the United States in the
main questions at issue in the fur seal ar
bitration with Great Britain.
This government does not claim that
Bering Sea is closed sea, but does claim
the same right of protection of the fur
seals OF the islands on the Asiatic coast
which Russia Is claiming In the Okhotsh
6ea, and in the waters OF the Pacific ocean
&c which the Russian seal herd resort.

ENGLAND'S PROPOSALS.
She Wishes the United States to
Continue Silver Purchases.
THE FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS.
The Panama Failure One of the Causes
The state Department at Washington
Receives q Detailed Report Of the
Seizure of an American Bark.

SRussFLs, Nov. 29.-M. de Rothschild's
proposals. were submitted to the confer
ence yesterday. They cover eleven printed
octave pages. NJ. de Rothschild argues at
great length that bi-metallism in Great
Britain is absolutely impossible, and sug-
gests that the question arises whether 1t is
not possible to extend the use of silver
generally, and by this means assist In
checking further fall In value. M. de
Rothschild said he did not claim that his
proposals would prove final solution OF
the question, but he did claim that they
would prove palliative.
Summed up, his proposals are that
America should continue her present pur-
chases OF silver and the European powers
should combine to buy an amount equal
to 5000, 900 pounds sterling yearly for five
years at 43d (about SO cents). III silver
should rise above that price the purchases
are to be Immediately suspended.
A Danish delegate, who Is monomet-
allist, will propose the coinage of silver
ive-franc, four-shilling or dollar pieces,
rated to gold according TO the price of sill
yer in the year previous TO the adoption
of an international agreement, with q
seigniorage of ten per cent
He will also propose the appointment OF
q permanent international commission To
fix the initial price. Should the price OF
silver fall to five per cent. below the coin
age ratio the commission will have au-
thority to fix new ratio and order the
recoinage of the pieces. These coins will
be legal tender internationally, banks To
keep them as reserve against notes and
TO have the right to demand gold in ex-
change for them at any time from the
government issuing the particular coin
held. This scheme will be the subject of
Lively communications between the dele
gates, but IL will not be formally proposed
until the de Rothschild proposals are de-
bated.

A CHAPTER FROM LIFE.
One Episode in the Life of a
Well-Known Man.
How He Came Most Dangerously Near
Death, But Escaped.
A Reminiscence that Is Warning
TO All.

When man comes near death in battle
or disease he thoroughly realizes how sweet
thing Is life. IL is fact that we do not
value jewel until we lose IL. and only one
who has come dangerously near death, or at
least has suffof ed weeks and months OF sick
ness, can fully appreciate the blessing of
health and life.
How many people there are who grow weak
and tired without knowing why, do not sleep
well nights and get up mornings tired and
unrefreshed; their head often aches or feels
badly their stomach, liver or kidneys are af-
fected, they have constipated bowels, and
they feel nervous, depressed In mind and
generally run down. Then II is that they
realize the value of their lost health.
So 1t was with Charlie" VI. Stevens. Esq, of
South Efiingham, n. H., a man well known
and highly honored in the Granite State.

A BRIGHTER ERA.

Wage Question Discussed by the Fal
River spinners.
FALL RIVER. Mass, Nov. 29.-The Mule
Spinners' Association held a crowded
meeting last night in answer TO a special
call TO discuss the wage question. Secre-
tary Robert Howard addressed the meet
ing, stating that the manufacturers had
advanced wages per cent, after it had
been publicly announced that the spin
ners would ask for an advance OF 10 per
cent.
He had received communications from
lowell, Lonsdale, Lawrence, Blackstone
Valley and other cotton manufacturing
centers, relating to an advance in wages,
and he read most OF them. He said that
IL all the Rhode Island mills advanced
wages per cent. they would still be pay
ing 3h per cent less than the wages paid
in the Massachusetts mills.
He cited the market prices of cotton and
print cloths to show that the margin is
now 100 cents as compared with % cents
one year ago.
He talked at length on the condition
OF the market showing that local mills
were well sold ahead into April on prof
liable basis. The speaker expressed much
surprise at the action of the Weavers' AS
sociation in accepting, without question,
the voluntary advance of per cent, and
he advised the members TO adopt the fol-
lowing resolution which had been pre-
pared by the executive COMMITTEES:
Whereas, Though we are not unmindful OF
the exceptionally profitable condition OF
trade, but the liberal spirit evinced by our
employers IL i'm such marked contrast with the
tyrannical and bitter opposition with which
they used to meet few years ago. when
we were asking for the most tritiing conces-
sions that we are lead to think that new and
brighter era is beginning to dawn, when en-
ployers will willingly give TO their employesa n
little more for the fruit of their toll without
our having to resort to strikes TO try to get it;
therefore, be IL
Resolved, That we accept the advance in
wages offered, thereby avoiding friction be-
tween employers and ourselves, but that at
the first favorable opportunity and when we
are certain that the industrial condition OF
the market warrants IL, we will ask for such
an advance in wages as our labor entities us
20.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Secretary Howard said after
the meeting that the "early date" men,
toned in the resolutions meant about
February.

The New French Cabinet Proves to be
Short Lived.
PARIS, Nov. 29.-The members of the
cabinet went to the Palace OF the Elysee
at 9 o'clock last evening and rendered
their designations to President Carnot.
The cabinet which has resigned came
into power on Feb. %. IL was as follows:
NJ. Loubet, president of tbe council

Roche, minister of commerce; M. Viette
minister of public works.
The prosecution of the managers aud
beneticiaries OF the Panama canal fiasco
has displeased many even of those who
suffered by the Panama failure, but who
were opposed to holding up to the world
the spectacle Of what might be regarded
as great national misfortune.
Within the past few days events have
ripeued rapidly in the Panama affair, aud
there has been growing feeling that the
government was deceiving the country.
Hence, yesterday, when the chamber
met there was general disposition to ex-
act moro information from the govern
ment regarding Reinach, who is sup
posed to have been the chief beneficiary
OF alleged Panama mismanagement, and
OF the vast sums contributed by French
men toward the undertaking.
When questioned by NJ. Errison, NJ.
Ricard showed a purpose to shield the
Reinach estate, or at least to give no sat
lsfactory assurance that the estate of the
dead baron would be made to disgorge,
should guilty completely be established
When this became evident, a majority or
the chamber declined longer to support
the government, and defeat was followed
by resignation. The vote against the
government stood 304 to 2l9

HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. 29.-The enforce
ment of the United States quarantine laws
is proving snag to the Canadian officials
and is temporarily prohibiting travel be-
tween Europe and the New England
states via Halifax. Another big batch OF
immigrants arrived on the steamer Sar-
dinian yesterday. A small party had
through tickets for Boston and other New
England points. The railway people re-
fused to forward these travellers unless
they had guarantees that they would pass
the frontier at Vanceboro.
Consul General Frye was appealed to
and answered that he could not give the
immigrants clean bill of health without
personal knowledge OF their having been
fumigated He said he would accept the
certificate Of Port Health Officer Wick
wire, but DIR. Wickwire has no machinery
for fumigating them, aud consequently
they remain at the railway sheds here.

la removed as soon as the insurance is ad-

II now appears that one OF the wine
vaults escaped injury by being located
under the servants quarters which were
not totally destroyed, but some time dur
ing the fire the vault was broken open

This is the only piece of thieving posi-
