WELLINGTON, N. T., May IA terrific
hurricane has passed over central New lea
land, and the damage done is enormous. The
stiffness Immediately preceding the storm
was oppressive. Suddenly, far out at sea,
could be seen dark cloud resting upon the
waters and rapidly approaching the land.
With q sudden roar, the waters which had
led the gale burst with laundering crash
upon the shores. Gigantic trees were snapped
like twigs and the rain fell in torrents. Rail-
road entertainments were washed away by the
rushing waters and traffic completely sus-
pended. 1t is late autumn.
Hundreds of acres of wheat, corn, oats and
barley were ruined, the standing crops being
beaten down and badly twisted and matted.
Vessels in the ofing, which before the gale
could be seen lying under storm sails, were
soon lost to view. After the storm passed it
was found that many coast vessels were piled
upon the shore.
Reports from all parts of the country Wis
tied by the hurricane show that buildings
have either been blown down or unroofed in
every direction.
1t is thought that many of the men in wood
cutting camps IN the forests have been killed
by falling trees, but no details from the int
rlor are yet obtainable.

Colored Veterans.

ALBANY, N. Y, May H.-General Palmer,
comrnander-in-chief of the G. A. R., when
shown dispatch from New Orleans stating
that the division of Mississippi and Lou
isiana G.. A. R. had surrendered their
division charter on account of what
they allege is an attempt on the part
of General Palmer to force the division to
admit colored veterans, said: "My knowl-
edge of this question obtained in the public
press. The officers in the Louisiana depart
ment are fully aware of the action of the last
national encampment. Eight white posts
division. It is not reasonable to suppose
that the representatives of eight posts can
override the voice of nearly million of men
represented at the national encampment,
where, at the last meeting in Detroit, they
tried to have two separate departments in
the division, one for white posts and one for
colored, SO that each could hold separate
meetings. This proposition, however, was
rejected. The colored posts recently notified
me that they had rendered their dues to the
Louisiana department headquarters, which
refused them. / ordered the department.
commander to recognize these POSTS and re-
ceive dues. He refused. Nothing was then
left for me but to suspend him. The COM
mand of the department then devolved upon
Senior Vice Commander Durkee, who l Or
dered should report to me by May Is, whether
he carried out my instructions to recognize
these posts, having failed to SO comply, an
order will be iseued suspending Durkee and
designating the junior vice commander to
take charge of the affairs of the department.
If he declines to obey orders, then l shall be
obliged to place some one else in command
of the department"

Sabbath Observance,

OMAHA, NEB., May 18.-Probably the larg-
est concourse of people that ever attended a
religious meeting in Omaha attended the
mass meeting in Exposition hall. The spe-
cial theme of the meeting was the American
Sabbath, and Colonel Elliot F. Shepard of
New York, Bishop Warren, Bishop Ninde,
Judge Lawrence of Ohio, and other eloquent
speakers addressed the audience.
Bishop Ninde made the speech of the day.
He held that 1t was little use to expect the
people to keep the Sabbath holy until the
church had won the masses to Christianity.
He wanted to see the ministers get hold of
the masses. There were people who made
light of popular preachers, but he was ready
at all times to take off his hat to the man who
could draw the masses to hear the word of
God. The church should go after the mil
lions, no matter what their condition was.
The churches of the present day had gotten
INTO the habit of shifting along to keep up
with the rich instead of going after the masses
everywhere and under all circumstances.
He believed that if the churches would take
hold in earnest and work for the salvation
and conversion of every rank and class of
humanity, the great Sabbath question would
soon solve itself. The bishop aroused ire
mendous enthusiasm and set several of the
brethren in the conference to shouting for
more of the Holy Ghost religion.

and damage. The flood, at it's height, OK
tended from Court etfeet to Floyd Bluffs, and
fromthe suburb of Lynn to the Mississippi
river. This comprises district five miles
long and a mile and half wide. For the
distance of a mile and a half above the mouth
of the Floyd, the bottom is densely popu-
lated. large portion of the inhabitants are
poor people who are employees of packing
houses, railroads, etc. At the height of the
flood the current struck straight through the
residence streets. Along these nearest the
river scores of dwellings were swept from
their foundations and carried long distances
and either smashed or turned bottom side
up. 1t is no uncommon sight to see dwell
ing turned over on its side or roof. Many
two story buildings were swept away. The
buildings which are twisted or carried short
distance are innumerable.
The water was far above the second stories,
with swift current and the wind blowing q
hurricane. Everywhere fences, outhouses,
sidewalks, wooden pavements, railroad ties
and timbers and lumber yard debris is scat
tered about among the contorted and over
turned dwellings,.

Will Call a Halt.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 19.-The presi-
dent will send to congress message recon-
mend1ng legislation of great importance to
the transportation interests of the country.
His subject is the transportation relations
between the United States and Canada. The
latter country has, under present conditions,
altogether the best of those relations. The
president will submit the figures to show the
existing inequalities, and he will suggest
such legislation as will diminish them to
some degree. Canadian transportation lines
by water enjoy the same privileges as those
of the United States in passing through ca
mails and waterways under control of the
United States. But in making use of Cana
dian canals the ships of the United States
are subjected to tolls and penalties far great
er than apply to Canadian vessels. By the
transit in-bond law the Canadian railways
receive vastly more benefit from the United
country gain thereby. It is said that the Ca
madam Pacific and the Grand Trunk would
be almost driven to bankruptcy but for the
traffic they obtain through their connections
with this country, which are fostered by the
law. This points out way by which the
Canadians may be called to account and in
duced to remove existing determinations
against the United States. 1t is rather
strange condition of affairs that the inter-
state commerce law operates very greatly to
the advantage of Canadian railways. The
long and short haul clause, which, of course.
applies only to routes wholly within the
United States, enables the Canadian railways
to command great deal of traffic between
the northwest and New England, or even
New York. Part of the route being over Ca
madam territory, rates can be made which
lines lying wholly within the United States
cannot possibly meet without violating the
long and short haul provision. But notwith-
standing this disadvantage, congress, as the
president will make clear, can easily require
the transportation relations between the two
countries to be more advantageous to the
United States without, at present changing
the interstate commerce law,

there will be the laying of the corner stone

circles, and June 20 will be great day, es-
pecially for the army of the Potomac. Peck
was greatly surprised at being honored with
the invitation. On expressing himself in this
way he was assured by Colonel Bachelor that
his indianapolis and Denver speeches had
won for him the inevitable fame, and he de-
voutly hoped he would accept. An answer
was withheld for a time, when the CON-
mittee was informed by Mr.. Peck that
his business would carry him to New Orleans
at. that time The simple question of geog-
raphy made it impossible for him to accept
the invitation.

Crop Conditions.


WASHINGTON, D. c., May M.-The weather
crop bulletin issued by the United States
Weather bureau says the season continues
cold and backward throughout all the agri-
cultural districts, al hough it ID rapidly re-
covering in the southern states and along the
Atlantic coast. From the central Mississippi
valley westward to the Rocky mountains the
daily temperature for the entire period from
March 1 has ranged from three degrees to
five degrees below normal, and the report
shows unusually cold weather for the season
in that region.
Excessive rains continue throughout the
central valleys, attended by destructive floods,
resulting in loss of many lives and great
damage to crops in the Mississippi ard Mis-
souri, valleys, the most serious losses being
reported from Arkansas and western Iowa,
while the conditions continue threatening in
the lower Mississippi valley.
Over the greater portion of the spring
wheat belt the rainfall exceeded the average
sas valley the actual rainfall was from four
to six inches.
The Pacific coast was favored with well
distributed rains from central California and
northward to Oregon and Warrington. The
rainfall for the season, from March to date,
has been excessive.
In the spring wheat region more than.
double the usual amount has fallen, and from
Ohio and Kentucky westward, in Nebraska
and Kansas, there has been from 30 to 80 per
cent. more than the usual amount of rain.
Drouth continues in northern Florida,
where the seasons rainfall has been one-ffth
of the usual amount, but the prospects are
that the region will be favored by rain soon.

Worlds STAIR on SUNDAY,

"OTIu > 1iT OH SdIl0oys
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 19.-Director Cen
eral Davis, of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton, had hearing before the house COM
mittee on the Worlds Columbian exposition,
to urge the appropriation by congress in aid
of the exposition. Mr.. Davis told the COM
mittee what had already been done, what
still remained to be done, and what the scope
of the plans of the managers embraced.
Everything now pointed. he said, to the great
est exposition ever held anywhere in the
world.
Regarding Sunday closing, Mr.. DAVIS said
it was the object of the managers to shut
down all the machinery Sunday and have
only the art buildings and stationary exhibits
open to spectators.
1t would seriously cripple the receipts to
close entirely ON Sundays. Mr.. Walker, of
Chicago, told the committee that an amend
ment had been framed in the act by which
the local corporation obligated itself to meet
and defray all expenses from now on until
the close of the exposition; that if congress
granted the aid asked, some of the best men
in Chicago would hold themselves response
bic for any further moneys needed and would
not ask aid from any source whatever again.

.colored People Defended.

OMAHA, NEB., May 19-The committee of
the M. E. general conference on itineracy
brought in a report recommending the abol-
ishing of the five year limit on the appoint
ment of pastors.
The report favored the idea of permitting
the bishops to appoint pastors every year
without reference to the place to which min
listers have been assigned the year previous.
The report was made special order.
The committee on the state OF the church
brought IN report that fairly bristled all
over with denunciation of the ''outrages prac-
ticed upon the colored race In the south" 1t
called upon the government, state officials,
the Methodist church and all good citizens to
arise in their might and abolish the indignl-
ties and outrages that were put upon the col
ored people. The resolution declared that the
colored people were treated shamefully on
the railway trains and at hotels, and in every
way. They were shot down like dogs, and
the law of the land trampled under foot by
people who despised the colored race. The
resolution stirred up tremendous enthusiasm,
and the report was adopted by unanimous
rising vote.

NKw York, May 2a-R g. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The great foods at the west, unprecedented
at some points, and prolonged ram extending
over the whole of the Mississippi valley, seri-
ously interrupted trade. Yet there is nothing
to warrant apprehension that the crops will
be deficient or that trade will fall below the
expectations for the year. In all quarters q
confident spirit prevails, and even at the
south business seems to be relatively less
embarrassed than of late.
Money is everywhere in large supply and
light demand.
Breadstuffs have advanced, the storms Civ
ing the spectators their chances for rise.
Wheat receipts have been checked, but ex-
ports continue heavy and the price advanced
TX cents for May. Corn receipts are re-
duced, but the price has advanced n cent,
while oats have risen u cents without visible
effect. Pork Is half dollar higher, but lard
and hogs are a shade lower.
Coffee advanced Il cent. Injury to cot
ton in the southern valleys has less to do
with the advance of 1-16 in price than the
covering of speculative sales; with dealings
of 465, 900 bales the fluctuations have been
small.
The great industries are fully as active
as usual at this season of the year.
Cotton, perhaps, fares best. New wool be-
gins to come forward and is promptly taken,
with slight advances. The iron business Is
distinctly more active, with larger transac-
tons in all grades, though prices do not inn
prove at all.
The demand for boots and shoes has in
creased since the tanners resolved to lessen
their output and leather is stronger, while
hides are dull.

Floods on Change.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-The flood excitement
broke out in a new place-the Chicago board
of trade. Tie newspapers were crammed
with reports of calamities in all directions by
water, and everybody on change was appar-
emily apprehensive and nervous about the
crop outlook. The officially in getting COM
munications, owing to the washing away Of
telegraph poles, added to the abnormal feel
ing. Swartz d Dupee got Paris cable and
attempted to buy wheat on it, but found
there was hardly any to be had, and began to
bid for it. This was all that was necessary
to start stampede, and after few sales had
been made at sos there was rapid boom
to 81. But there was large lot for sale at
this point and quick break to 81 a followed.
Corn shared IN the excitement for the SIM
pie reason of dispatches telling of constant
foods and rain throughout the entire district
and scarcely any corn yet planted.
Frankenfelt of the signal service said more
rain had fallen in the past few days in the
corn belt, as whole, than in any other part
of the country.
