WIND AND RAIN.
Much Damage to Crops in the Great
Northwest.

Much Damage to Crops in the Great
Northwest.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. S.-Last nights
hail, wind and rain storm was very Sc
we're locally, but the greatest damage
was done III other parts OF the state.
The storm was widespread, extending
from away over in South Dakota clear
across this state into Wisconsin. Trees
were broken down, houses wrecked,
grain hattened to the ground or washed
out, and altogether some hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of damage
done. Full reports have not been re-
ceived, but the loss seems likely to
reach we'll up to 81 ,0O0,0 In Lincoln,
alone the damage is estimated at con-
siderably more than 100000. Marshall
reports a tornado at 5 O'Clock this
morning, going over the same course as
the blow of last Friday when Cum
mings' house was destroyed. That day
gang of twenty-five of his brother
carpenters rebuilt his house from
foundation to the ridge pole, and all his
household effects were moved in Satur-
day. This morning the new house was
crushed like an egg shell and all
his effects ruined. The injured
family were in another build
Ing. Near cummings the 1c6lauulC
Lutheran Church, built last year, was
picked up, turned bottom up and strik-
ing on its roof, was demolished. Sew
eral barns and small buildings were
crushed and overturned, and innumer-
able trees blown down. Nearly all the
glass on the north side of most of the
buildings in town was smashed, includ-
ing the handsome cathedral windows in
the Congregational and Methodist
churches In the northern part Of
town the ground was covered with hail
stones, the average size being an inch
and half in diameter, but many were
much larger.
Two Polanders are reported killed
near Marshall.
In St. Paul and Minneapolis num-
Der of houses were struck by lightning
and more or less damaged by the fire
that followed, while the damage by
wind and rain was very great.
Reports from all parts of the North
west are to the same effect.
Many sections report the grain down;
in many fields SO badly lodged and dam
aged as to be unfit for cutting.

Crop Figures i'm the Northwest.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. Col. George
D. Rogers, editor OF the Market Record,
after thorough canvass of the situa-
ton in Minnesota and the Dakotas,
puts the total yield of wheat in the
states at 100, 100000 bushels, as against
100000, 900 bushels last year. The yield
in Minnesota and South Dakota will
almost equal the phenomenal crop Of
last year, but the outlook in North Da-
kota is Disappointing Col. Rogers

CALIFORNIA LAND SWINDLE.
Thousands of Dollars Dropped by Esst-
Men.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 3.-Three
indictments found by the grand jury
yesterday reveal swindle of gigantic
proportions, in which about 400 people,
principally in the East. have been badly
bitten. Two of the swindlers, Q. b.
Moore and T. II. Downing, are within
reach, but the third, A. A. Hoyt, is in
Mexico. In 1887 Moore bought from
the millionaire farmer, John Boggs,
$4,000 acres of land in Tehama
County, adjoining Senator Stantord's
Vina ranch. Not a cent was paid
for 1t, the basis of the transaction being
long credits. Within a few days Moore
had plastered the place with a 100000
mortgage, the Savings Union, Of this
city, being victimized. Then he sold
two-thirds of the place to Hoyt and
Downing, and organized the California
Land Company, and called the tract the
Gilmore Colony" Circulars were is
sued and gorgeous magazine was pub
l1shed offering tive-acre tracts for 81
week on each acre, the total price being
SIS per acre. Four hundred victims
were secured. Some paid up in full
and got worthless deeds. few
months ago Downing transferred his
interest back to Moore. The Savings
Union demands S63, 900 from the ras-
Gals, and Boggs will take back the land.

The Twenty Million Dollars Well on It's
Wav to Washington.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. S.-The "gold
train" from San Francisco, which is car
rying $50, 100000 to the national capital,
passed through this morning. The cars
bristled with muskets, and no one was
allowed within smelling distance of the
precious freight. The train stopped
but few moments to obtain Ice water
for the guards, and then the journey
was resumed. The train came in
over the Burlington road, arriving
at S:45 this morning. 1t con-
sisted of one private car, one
mail car and three express cars. The
bags of coin were piled up in these
three latter cars. The train was in
charge of Gen. White, of the railway
mail service. There were altogether
tfty-one persons on the train, forty-tive
being armed guards. At each end Of
the cars. on the platforms, sat three or
four guards with Winchesters resting
across their knees. There were few
persons at the depot and but one or
two intruders were warned Oft. But ten
minutes we're occupied in switching the
tram from the Burlington to the Lake
Shore tracks, and then the train pulled
out for Washington. None but the
guards showed themselves, and they
looked rather lazy and tired of their
Jobs. The train will reach Washington
Tomorrow morning.

FIGHTING AGAINST ODDS.
Extraordinary Precautions Against tn,
Spread of Cholera.

Spread of Cholera.
LONDON, Aug. 6.-The westward
course Of the cholera is causing great
anxiety everywhere among the sani-
tary authorities, and Germany, France
and Great Britain are adopting extra
ordinary precautions. A Berlin dis
patch says that in view of the danger
from cholera the station for emigrants
at Ruhleben, near Spandau. has been
inspected by a medical commission ap-
pointed by the government. At this
station, which consistsSlargely of CORFU
gated iron buildings, all emigrants from
the infected districts in Russia will ar
rive. The sanitary commission which
was summoned at Posen to discuss the
measures TO be taken against a possible
introduction of cholera has addressed a
request to the authorities relative to the
cleansing of the streets, squares and
courts; the control Of provisions, espe-
cially of milk, vegetables and meat; the
institution Of sufficient means of trans
port Of sick persons and bodies and at
tention to the place of burial. The
Austro- Russian frontier is guarded by
a military Gordon. Italy is maintaining
a strict quarantine against Russian and
oriental vessels.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6.-From the
time Of the first appearance Of cholera
in Moscow up to Thursday last, twenty
four cases of the disease and ten deaths
had occurred in that city. Several
deaths from cholera are reported at

PROSPECT GOOD.
Roseate View of the Coming Wheat |
icl2

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 3.-How much
wheat will Minnesota and the Dakotas
raise this year? That is the question of
a paramount interest just now. The
three states were credited last year
with producing at least l60, 900, 900 bush
els, which was almost double yield
over anything that has been pre-
viously experienced. That the
yield this year will approach any
such figures is secuted by nearly
everybody. yet good many careful OBJ
servers will place their figures of yield
we'll up to last years. The range of es-
Inmates this year is from 100000. 900 to
l25, 900. 900 bushels, and there are more
who will choose the top figure than the
lower one. Col. Rogers, of the Market
Record, who enjoys an enviable reputa-
ton as crop guesser, and who was the
first Minneapolis man last year to VEN
ture out on 100, 100000 estimate, saws
the three states will raise this year l25,-
OO0, 900 bushels, and if the weather holds
till harvest as good as it is now, he will
add lO, 100000. Col. Rogers is strictly an
impartial observer, and he makes his
estimates after considerable. study of
the situation.

WILL ORDER A STRIKE.
Union Pacific Telegraphers Decide ON q
Walk-out

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6.--The differ
ences between the Union Pacific and
and its telegraphers came to sudden
issue last night when Assistant General
Manager Dickinson refused to grant
The increase of wages demanded by the
grievances committee, and asked that it be
re:erred to President Clark. Mr.. Clark
took the same position as Mr.. Dickin-
son, explaining that the road WAS not
earning enough to warrant any
increase in operating expenses.
Last evening Grand Chief Ram
sew, of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers, notified Mr.. Dickinson
that the operators had decided on an
ultimatum. They gave him notice that
If the demands of the telegraphers
were not granted by noon to-day, gen.
eral strike all over the system would be
ordered, to take effect at once. Mr..
Dickinson had no authority to give the
increased demands, and after con-
sultation with Mr.. Clark by wire the
matter was referred to the board of
directors, whose headquarters are in
Boston. MIR. Ramsey issued the follow
ing ultimatum:
TO ALL CONCERNED: Mr.. Dickinson has
requested an extension of time and 1t has
been decided to grant him until p. NJ. to-
day to communicate with the president
and directors. Ii his answer is unfavora-
BILE final instructions will be wired you.
If this ultimatum is ignored, it is be-
lieved there will be a strike involving
not only the Order Of Railway Tele-
graphers but also the entire order of
railway employees, as it is claimed by
the operators that the latter organiza-
ton will support them, if necessary to
enforce their demands. Should the
telegraphers be ordered out the

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Jewish Chron-
icle confirms the report of the failure of
Baron Hlrsch's colony in the Argentine
Republic. The writer declares that the
condition of affairs at Moiseville, the
name of the colony, battles description.
The land selected for the settlement
was ill-chosen, and an enormous num-
Der of families are huddled together in
tents and sheds, where they have been
living for months in idleness and in
trigue. The efforts to reform the col
ony made by Col. Goldsmid on his ar
rival caused hin. to receive many threat
ening letters, and he was obliged to ask
for police protection. He therefore
broke up the colony. Eight hundred
of the colonists have sailed for Europe
within q month.

THIS is THE BEGINNING
The Departure of Columbus on His yoy
age Reproduced,

age Reproduced.
PALos, Aug. 3.-This is the 400th an
niversary of the day on which Column
voyage of discovery, and the festivities
arranged for the celebration to-day
were carried out with great eclat. The
view from the town, however, was OBJ
scured by thick mist which hung over
the river and rendered it impossible to
see more than dim outline of the YES
sells lying at anchor.
The presentation from foreign
countries was even larger than had
been expected. The day was opened
with salute at sunrise from the twenty
four warships lying IN the harbor, rep
resenting the navies of the United
States, England, France, Spain, Italy,
Holland, Portugal, Austria, Greece,
Brazil and the Argentine Republic.
AT 6 o'clock, the hour on which Co.
lumbus began his voyage, the caravel
Santa Maria, constructed in imitation of
the vessel of that name belonging to
the Columbus expedition, which had
been lying off shore all night, set her
sails for her passage through the lines
of warships anchored outside the bar,
but owing to the prevalence of a dead
calm, q line was run from her to a gun
boat, and she was toWed down stream,
followed by the Spanish flotilla in
single file. Minister of Marine Mon
tigo was on board the warship Lagasio.
The voyage down the river past the
monastery of Lara brada. on which build
ings the flags of all the American
states we're flying, took about an hour.
Outside the bar were mOoreu the YES
sells of the foreign squadrons, which had
come to take part N the celebration.
These vessels were formed in lines, be-
tween which the caravel passed amid
laundering salutes and deatenlng
cheers. The smoke from the guns
made it impossible to watch the man
euvers of the caravel, which followed
for some distance the route taken by
Columbus 400 years ago.
At o'clock the little vessel returned
and re-entered the harbor. The town
OF Huelvia was full of visitors: and all
the buildings are gayly decorated, and
the naval evolutions were greatly ad-
mired. They were of an unusually brill
liant order, and occupied the enllre
morning. Later in the day there was
great historical procession, illustrating
four events of the time of Columbus.
The first was the conquest of Granada,
in which Boabdil, the last king of Gran
ada, was represented. Another tab
leau was the court of King Ferdinand
and Queen Isabella and still another
the reception of Columbus on his re-
turn from the first voyage Of discovery.
A still more imposing celebration will
take place in Madrid on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, when the great exposition will
be opened, and will continue until the
end Of the year.
