mat how much it is impossible to say at this
writing. A heavy storm of wind preceded
the cyolone about half an hour. A few
minutes after o'clock the cyclone struck
the city, coming from the southwest. There
we're no premonitory signs. Everybody
was in doors. The cloud passed with its
destructive rush and awful roar unseen.
Washington avenue, the principal busi-
moss street. is lined on both sides for blocks
with runs.
FIRE BREAKS OUT.
ITO add to the horror fire broke out
among the debris of Col. Robinson's blocks,

nelshed in the flames. The solid block of
brick buildings, containing half dozen
stores and the postoff1ce and printing offices,
lies in a tumbled heap of bricks and mortar.
lust across the street a laborer named
Tanning was taken out Of the ruins, and it
js jssupposed that other bodies are in the
ruins.
Hundreds OF dwellings are either totally
destroyed or more or less damaged. The
oity is in darkness, as broken mains made it
necessary to shut down the gas works and
save destruction from fire.
James Lawrence, candidate for attor-
uey general, had an arm broken.
walter Forsthen was taken from the
ruins dangerously injured, and his brother,
Ed, was talking for an hour before his re-
lease.
SEVEN BODIES RECOVERED.
"Seven bodies have been taken out of the
Phillips house ruins, and a large force of
men is at work removing the debris. Two
members of the Salvation Army are ex-
pected to die from injuries received.
"At Squire Smiths residence seven per-
sons are more or less injured.
The streets are Uttered with tin roofing,
cloth awnings and broken timbers. Every
body is on the streets carrying lanterns
and it is utterly impossible to get at the
exact facts. The destruction Ia simply
awful and every minute adds to the horror
Of the situation.
"The Standard and MaI offices are
wrecked. The opera house aud dozens of
the best business buildings are useless. Fine
school buildings and churches are ruined,
and the loss will foot up many thousands of
dollars.
"No reports have been received from
other points.
Wellington is the county seat of Sumner
county, and has population of over 10000
inhabitants. 1t is in the center of thickly
settled agricultural district. 1t is the most

sHEaMAN's SILVER SPEECH.
He Hopes That it May Make Him the
Republican Nominee.

Republican Nominee.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Sher-
man is preparing, it is understood. speech
on the silver question in reply to Senator
Teller's speech of yesterday, which if not
the greatest effort Of his life may be one OF
the most important. for IL his hopes are
realized it will effect his nomination at Min
neapolis. The Senate, sympathizing with
Senator Sherman In his presidential aspira-
tions, If not In his financial views, ad-
journed early this afternoon until next
Tuesday so that the Ohio senator might have
more time to-day and tomorrow for his
preparations. No one else thinks
that the speech will nominate
him, for it is evident that
the anti Harrison men can no more unite
on Senator Sherman than could the Harri-
son men. II is not clear yet what will be-
come of the action Of the Senate in taking
up Senator Stewards bill beyond efforts to
affect presidential politics. The opponents
of the bill in the Senate can talk off vote
and the opponents Of the bill in the House
can filibuster, so that they have no appre-
hension of immediate danger. Speaker
Crisp has given them notice, however, that
IL the Senate bill comes to the House the
majority of the committee on rules will not
feel that they can refuse to aid its passage,
the conditions being so different from those
which have hitherto prevailed. In other
words closure rule would be forthcoming.

OF Deputies to-day that the members OF the
cabinet had rendered their designations to
King Humoert, but that his majesty had
refused to accept them. He, therefore,
asked the chamber to pass the most urgent
bills now before it aud to grant the govern

1t is generally taken TO portend that disso-

by vote taken in the house yesterday on
the question of confidence in the ministry.
The result was a victory for the ministry,
but the margin was 30 Gloss tnat had ten of
the thirty-eight who abstained from voting
cast their votes against the government the
ministry would have sustained a defeat.
The new cabinet was only definitely formed
May 10, and its practical overthrow has
therefore been matter OF only few days.
The preceding cabinet, at the head Of which
was the Marquis di Rudini, was defeated by
a majority Of eight on May in its demand

That the administration is trying not TO
play sensational part in the affair, but
is doing all it can to quiet things and
give the insolent little republic full time
to repent, is shown by its action in re-
gard to this very cablegram.
This was one of the matters laid be-
fore the cabinet yesterday, and which
helped a great deal in making the presi-
dent and the cabinet feel that the situa-
ton was serious. The dispatch as pub
lished this morning is a bare statement
of fact and does not contain one-half
the advice sent by Commander Evans.
The original dispatch contains Com
mandcr Evans opinion of the affair, and
in parts was so infammatory that the
cabinet thought it best not to give it out
in full. Commander Evans in his cable
gram showed how completely the Chill
ians hate the United States, and how
the feeling is increasing rather than sub
siding.
A prominent naval officer said today
at the depa tment Chat each day of de-
lay of the United States is emboldening
the Chilians to fresh insults, for they
now think that the United States
will calmly submit to any insult. I'm
less some decisive action is taken no one
can tell to what degree they will go.

Che Scheme Adopted by the
Democrats Of the House
To Make Public the Effects of
the Mckinley Bill.

Mr.. Hoar and His Associates VIII Attack
the Bill in Detail and Soon Get the De-
sired Information Through the Stimuli
taneous Investigations of Several House
Committees.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Representa-
tive Sherman Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
and some of the other house Democrats
have devised very ingenious scheme to
bring before the public the full effects
of the Mckinley bill During the sum-
mer a subcommittee of the senate
finance committee has been investigat-
ing the effect of the tariff on prices.
For the Democrats to now do the same
thing gould take too long and make the
information of practically no use during
the coming campaign.
How They'll Do 1t.
Mr. Hoar and his associates, therefore,
decided to attack the bill in detail, and
by making several committees of tle
house conduct investigation simultane-
ously get the desired information in a
very short time. With this purpose in
view, Mr.. Hoar has introduced a resolr-
ton declaring the committee on manu-
facture to report to the house 1.-The effect
upon the general manufacturing inter
ests of the country of the present acts
for the collection Of revenue by means
of duties upon imports. A similar
resolution to ascertain the effect ON agri-
cultureha introduced by Represent
ative Mckinney, of New Hampshire
and referred to the committee on agri-
culture, Lapham, of Rhode Island
made his resolution apply to labor, and
had it sent to the committee on labor
while HouE, of Ohio, completed the
quota by wanting to know the effect of
:he tariff on foreign commerce, which
the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce viii have to wrestle with. If
these resolutions are adopted, and it is
believed they will be, four committees
of the house will be engaged i'll investi-
eating the tariff from different points of
view, and the results are bound to be in
