The Presbyterian DelSberative Body at
Portland. Ore. Adjourned Sine Die.
PORTLAND, Ore, June Yesterday
found the great issues in the Presby-
terrain church settled The only echoes
heard were protest of R. R Agnew,
of Philadelphia, and others, that the
action taken in the Briggs case was UNI
constitutional; the protest of DR.. Sprague
and numerous other commissioners who
consider that an evil precedent has been
established in giving such wide powers
to the committee of prosecutions and in
the Union seminary case, the directors
OF the institution are TO be heard from
in regard to the proposed arbitration
about transfers.
At the afternoon session an earnest
plea for deliverance by the assembly
against the practice of lynching ne
groes in this county" met with decided
approval.
Elder McCook withdrew his statement
of a year ago concerning donations made
to Union seminary upon the basis of its
doctrinal soundness, saying that he had
no desire to wound the feelings of any
member of the family of any such donor,
and no intention of characterizing the
intent of any donor.
The committee of conference with
theological seminaries was announced
as follows: Drs- Hays, Young BIay-
ney, Mutchmoore, Moooe, Ba rtlett,
Bayley, Holmes, Wilson, Elder McDou-
gall, Cincinnati; McCoolz, New York;
Gray, Chicago; Bonner, Indianapolis;
Joy. Detroit; Neglee, Pittsburgh. and
Knox, Minneapolis
An amusing scene occurred up IN the
introduction of resolutions calling the
attention OF ministers, e1dera and stu
dents to the evils of the tobacco habit
Finally the resolutions passed with a
shout After the adoption OF the usual
complimentary vote of thank the as
sembly adjourned sine die

ANOTHER TORNADO.

The Funnel-Shaped Cloud DeAolishes a
Dwelling and Kills Two Persons
INDEPENDENCE, Kan, juno AT S
o'clock Monday night tornado formed
about four miles east of this city and
struck the stone house of James Sulli-
van, utterly demolishing it
In the house at the time we're eight
people and two of these were crushed
out Of all semblance to humsn beings.
These were: Mrs. Lucy NJ. Cecil. A
four-year-old child of Mr. Sullivan.
Mrs Sullivan was taken uncon-
scious from the ruins, and Ola recover
ing it was found that she was badly
hurt She Immediately asked for her
baby. and upon being told that 1t was
still in the house she crawled TN her
hands and knees into the ruiIs and
brought the infant out. 1t was sound
asleep and unhurt-
The other members of the family We're
considerably, bruised and would I'M
doubtedly have been killed had it not
been for the effective work of Mr.. John
Anderson, who lives just across the
road from the house. His house was
untouched by the storm, and when he
discovered what had been done to the
Sullivan residence he at once beTan to
work clearing away the debris ad sue
ceeded in getting to the injured people
and caring for them before tn were
suffocated.
The tornado appears to have formed
directly at that place and expe lded its
entire fury and strength on this one
house, for no other damage as been
heard of from it
The house was two-story dwelling,
built of stone, and was considered one
of the most solid and substantial houses
in the county,

KANSAS CROP PROSPECTS.
The Latest Information In Regard tt
Wheat. Oats. Corn and Fruit.

The Latest Information in Regard to
Wheat. Oats, Corn and Fruit.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.--The Kansas
Farmer publishes to-day crop reports
from its correspondents throughout the
state. They indicate wheat acreage
about equal to that of last year.
The condition of the wheat crop
has improved generally since
the last report Very few
counties report insects of any
kind. In some counties the wheat
on bottom lands has suffered from wash
ing but by floods, but in general the
damage to this crop by the excessive
rains has been less than was to be eX-
pected. The harvest will be later than
usual, but unless some injury not yet
developed comes upon the wheat. the
prospect is that fairly good crop will
be harvested. Harvest will begin in
the southern counties about June 20.
The acreage of oats is rather lighter
of the season and excessive rains. This
crop is later than usual, but otherwise
in good condition.
Corn is very backward on account of
cool wet weather. The acreage will be
larger than usual, even if planting has
to be extended well into June. The
growth of the planted has been slow.
Ample time remains, however, to make
a corn crop with favorable season
from this time forward. The fruit crops
are below the average.

The DALTON GANG.

Pursuit of the Men Who Robbed the Santa
Fe-Loss Not Heavy.
GUTHRIE, Ok, June 3.-The six rob-
bers who held up the southbound Santa
Fe train at Red Rock Wednesday night
were very genteel set. They declined
to interfere with the passengers, apol-
ogized to the engineer for rudeness and
altogether behaved very prettily. But
they did a. vast amount of shooting and
NJ body outside of Wells-Fargo officials
knows just how many thousand dollars
they carried with them when they gal
Hoped away in the darkness toward the
hills in the Creek country.
AS is usual there is mystery as to the
amount the gang sucured. The express
officials are declaring now that not over
$4,000 was taken Others say the
amount was less than 49, 400. But the
first account which declared that fully
200 had been secured came from
good authority, and was backed up by
the statement of the railroad men. It
is impossible to get anything definite
from the officials of the company.
Their policy of concealment and belittl-
ing of losses in such cases is well
known. 1t is generally believed here
that quite $500 was stolen.
An Indian who came in yesterday
afternoon from the Iowa reservation
said that he met in the road from the
strip to the Iowa land six men on tired
horses. The men. he says, would not
talk to him. There is no doubt that
these are the robbers. They are be.
lieved to be the notorious Dial ton gang
Detective Ainsley, Of Oklahoma City,
says that he has had informa ion for a
week that the Daltons have BEEN in this
country. A day or so ago man he has
been shadowing as their supply agent
bought eighteen boxes of cartridges in
Oklahoma City and departed quietly.
