CHERRYvALE, Kan, April Storm
stricken southern Kansas received an
other visitation Of the dread monster
Sunday afternoon. This time the In
strument of destruction was the genu-
inc cyclone, a funnel-shaped cloud.
which whirling and twisting carried
everything before it on its journey from
southwest to northeast.
This is the list of casualties: Mrs.
John Reeves, killed instantly; John
Reeves, fatally injured; Mrs. Perry
Nixon, seriously injured; Mrs. Z. r.
Lawson, struck by lightning.
The storm made its first manifesto
ton at Liberty, eight miles south OF
this city, where it carried away part OF
the Southern Kansas depot, scattered
the contents of s. A. Brown & Col
lumber yard and overturned several
small houses.
Three miles further to the northeast
It stuck the farm house of DIR. j. F.
Gard of this city, occupied by John
Reeves, carried away the house, barn
and outbuilding, killed Mrs. Reeves
outright and fatally injured Mr.. Reeves.
From this point the cyclone contin-
ued the destruction of fences, hay
stacks, orchards and small buildings
until it came to a farm house, three
miles southeast of this town, occupied
by ]. J. Emmerson, who until short
time since resided in Cherryvale. It
blew the house and barn away and car
ried Mr.. and Mrs. Emmerson several
hundred feet seriously injuring them.
One-half mile further on it struck the
house of L. Baker, scattering it over
adjacent fields, leaving Mr.. Baker and
his three daughters huddled in o heap
on the floor, which alone remained on
the foundation.
Among other places still further
north and east which were damaged
were those of Perry Nixon, Nelson War
ner and Fred Wagner. Mrs. Nixon
was the only one in that neighborhood
who sustained serious injury, although
the houses and barns in the path of the
storm in that locality were completely
demolished.
The summary Of the storms casual
tiles in this vicinity is one killed, three
badly and sixty slightly injured. The
only damage done in this city was q
number of window lights broken by the
hail. The destruction of property in
the country was terrible.

ANARCHISTS IN SPAIN.

Madrid Considerably Worked Up Over the
Discovery of Foreign Anarchlsts-Sevcral
Arrests.
MADRID, April 6.-The two men ar
rested were arraigned for examination
yesterday before police magistrate.
The Frenchman gave his name as Jean
Marie Delboache and the Portu-
guese his as Manuel Ferreira. They
both gloried in admitting that they
were anarchists and boosted that they
were important agents of the central
anarchist organization.
The excitement caused by the ut
tempt yesterday to blow up the build
ing in which the cortes meets does not
abate. On the contrary, as further par
ticulars of the attempted outrage are
learned, the public becomes more indig-
nant and many threats are INDUCED IN.
The civil governor and the police are
highly complinented on the neat and
effective manner in which they frus-
trated the designs of the prisoners and
comparisons are made with the Paris
police who, 1t is said here, only arrest
ed the anarchists after they had caused
considerable damage.
1t was thought that after the eXecu-
ton of the four anarchists at Neres the
members of that party would see that
the Spanish government was not in
clined to deal with people of that class
with half measures. 1t is believed that
these executions did have the desired
effect as far as Spanish anarchists are
concerned and that the subsequent
troubles were due to agitators from for
eign countries. This idea is borne out
by the fact that both men arrested
Monday in the act of attempting to
blow up the parliamentary buildings
were foreigners, one Frcnchman and
the other Portuguese.
The government is fully alive to the
demands of the occasion and will prob
ably demand that the death penalty
shall be inflicted upon the persons using
explosives for unlawful purposes, and
will have the law pushed through as
speedily as possible.
1t is thought here that the anarchists
have been allowed too much latitude in
spreading the tenets of their belief and
that henceforth the government should
hunt them as wild beasts to be destroyed
on sight.
Fourteen French anarchists have been
arrested ut Barcelona and will be proba-
bly, expelled from Spain.

DEFINING IDENTIFIED.
There Is No Doubt hut That He Is the Man
Wanted.


MELBOURNE, April 30 place the
question of Deeming's Identification be-
yond all doubt, he was placed in the
courtyard of the Jail with twenty other
persons. There he was seen and identi-
fed by fifty-two persons who had known
him when under fifteen aliases.
1t is quite evident that Deeming be-
lieves the game has ended for him and
a close watch is kept upon him to keep
him from killing himself as it is be-
lieved he would do if he had the least
chance.
Later details regarding Deeming's
arrest show that when he was taken in
to custody ut the Southern gold fields,
where he was employed as an engineer
at Frazer's gold mine, he was making
final arrangements for his marriage
with Miss bonneville, who was on her
way from Bathurst, New South Wales,
to join him. He had already secured n
house, and his first act after taking pos
session was to purchase barrel OF
cement, with which he had the floor OF
the main room cemented.
The circumstances of his arrest were
of dramatic character. He was in the
act of reading a newspaper containing
brief account Of the discovery of Miss
Matthew's body at Windsor when a
constable suddenly entered and, with
out the least warning arrested him on
the charge Of murder.
For the moment Deeming was dumb
founded, but he quickly recovered his
self-possession and pointing to the par
agraph, asked the constable il that was
the crime of which he was accused, add
ing: II think 1 know the party who
was murdered. She was good little
thing and cannot believe that anyone
would hurt her."

The first game we have already published,
Ruv Lopez, conducted by both sides on
well known lines of play. For the following
description of the next four games we are
Indebted to the London Evening Ne1ps and
Post of Saturday. june 4, the chess column
of which is conducted by Mr. Gunsberg.
The second game was played on Saturday.
Blackburne adopted the French defense
and soon after the opening lost a pawn, but
by an ingenious scheme he forced his
opponent to give up the exchange and a
pawn. Notwithstanding his disadvantage,
however, Lasker played skilfuly in the end
game with a rook against a knight, whereas
BlackDurne in an unaccountable manner
overlooked the way to win several times as,
for instance. his 4lst move, where there was
an easy win by RxKt followed by P-Q s.,
Lasker succeeded in securing a draw.
The numerous friends of the British Bull
dog" were hoping that as the contest be-
tween him and his German rival progressed,
he would gradually warm up to his work anti
develop increased powers of resistance.
The course of the third game PLAYED on
Monday only partly fulfilled that expecta-
tion. Blackburne opened with P-Q4 and
at no time was he tempted to give his oppo-
nent any chance by undertaking hazardous
attacks. First three minor pieces were e,x-
changed, leaving Blackbu burne with knight
against bishop; further exchanges tiIen
followed, the result being that each pla yer
was left with rook and five pawns. Moves
then being repeated, a draw was AGREED
upon on the 3sth move. Score: Lasker and
2dmws.
Lasker opened the fourth game on Tues
day with P-Q T. an opening which has the
merit of placing the players on an equality,
and enabling the best man TO
show his superiority by hard play.
The beginning was quiet enough,
though black adopted line of deleEse
which is open to criticism on several points.
Lasker hal both his bishops on the boa I'D,
and he had three center pawns which under
circumstances might become dangerous
~Blackburne did not seem to realize the fact,
and failed to take the proper measures, as
he might have done in good time to prevent
an advance. Lasker, who probably had THAT
object steadily in view, saw his opportunity
about the twenty-fifth move and succeeded
in throwing forward his center pawns by
clever play. Blackburne replied rather
wildly, playing his Q-R5, from which place
she was finally driven away by very clever
tactics with the loss OF pawn. Making thSp
most of his advantage, Lasker forced the
exchange Of queens soon alter, the result
being that the game was at his mercy atterA
ward Blackburne resigned on the ffty-N
second move. Score: Lasker, 2; drawn,2
On Wednesday there was no play. On
Thursday the players in this match laced
each other for the fifth tirpe but under
totally different conditions. Lasker, having
powerful lead, could afford to take matters

Mr.. Barker's playing two matches in this
country, and have to tell him that am quite
satisfied with my victories in America, hav-
ing played seven matches in that country
for stakes, out of which won six; the other
was drawn by himself. Notwithstanding, I
would always have been very happy to have
PLAYED matches in America for any amount
of stakes, but am now compelled to decline
playing any more matches in America for
my own protection, for if were to beat Mr..

anxious to play Barker and if Barker be-

will not hesitate to enter at once into nego-
