THE RESULTS OF FRIDAYS STORM.
Six Of the Victims Buried Yesterday From the
Methodist Church.-Many More Funerals to
Be Held-More Deaths Among the In
jured-15,OOO People See theRuins.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. May ga spec
ial to the Journal from Wellington,
Kans., says Wellington's cyclone vista
tion has made it for the time the chief
object of interest for all southern Kan
sas. No such crowds have visited this
city before as those which since earliest
daylight have been pouring in on every
railroad and highway.
On all its four lines entering here, the
Santa Fe has been running excursions
from as far north as Hutchinson, south
from Arkansas City, and west from
Medicine Lodge While the Rock Island
has been equally industrious in forward
ing sight seers to the stricken city.
Division Passenger Agent Murtock.
OF the Santa Fe, estimated the crowd at
Is, 900, which is an exceedingly conserv-
ative estimate. 1t is the common re-
mark of those who have witnessed SINH
lar scenes that in the extent and COM
pletenesS of destruction, it transcends
anything In their experience.
Other like calamities have been at
tended with greater loss Of life, but
rarely has picture Of such utter desc
lation and ruin been presented than
that seen in the devastated district.
The miracle OF it all is that the loss OF
life was not four-fold greater.
This is to be attributed to the fact
that the churches and school houses in
the tornadoe's path were all empty and
the business blocks practically deserted
excepting the two hotels where eight OF
the casualties so far reported occurred.
The death list remains at the figures
given in the dispatches of yesterday
with all of the injured ones in a fair
way to recover except Mrs. Murphy,
the aged lady who was taken from the
burning ruins of the Cole-Robinson
block, and Jesse Brown, the colored
barber.
The funerals of six Of the cyclone
victims, Mrs. Sasher, her sister, Miss
Strahan, Leonard Adamson, Ida Jones,
Horton Upson and Prof. James Mayor,
took place this afternoon from the
Methodist church.
James Hasty was buried to-day by
the Odd Fellows, while Ed Forsythe
will receive the rights of sepulchre to-
morrow. The body of Thomas Corn
we'll has been forwarded to his home,
near Belle Plains, and that OF Frank
Campbell to Williamsburg, Ky. The
ruins have been diligently searched.
Tomorrow the work of clearing away
the wreck will be vigorously pushed.

The manifesto adds: 'We bespeak

Arrangements will be at once COM
pleted to hold county conventions to en-
able every Nationalist constitution TO

This Is not enough. We are threatened

the electors is not Doubtful, but the de-
termination TO give Full effect to the
will OF the Irish as 10 Of our
cOuntry's destiny will involve

constituencies themselves should take
immediate steps TO provide for these ex-
penses. We are on the eve Of tbs mos
momentous election Of this century.
The policy Of desperation to which the
enemies of Ireland have been reduced

suit in the triumph Of the cause to

s- FOR q local press bureau an express
.oD Of his views upon the present po-

n be in favor Of the nomination Of

Harrison, ii nominated cannot be

II suppose" said Col. Ingersoll,
a.bat Mr.. Blaine can be nominated II he
wants 20 be, but judging him as an or
5.sary man, I suppose we will be jUsti-

want the nomination himself, but l do
mink that he does not want Mr.. Harri-
son 20 have il. l think he will take 1t
fits necessary to prevent the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Harrison, but the probabil-
ity IS that some other man may be Sc
'R:ted."
Col. Ingersoll said he considered Mr..
Blaine stronger as a candidate for the
nomination than as the nominee Of the
patty. "l think the strongest man, the
one who would secure the largest fol-
Dwlng is Judge Gresham. ! think he
would get more votes than any Of the

talked with him.
FLOYD is a slight boyiSh looking lad

He told his story frankly and freely and
impressed all who heard him as
being simple country lad, led by evil
companions and whiskey, into commits
sion Of crime. He has made a confes-
sion giving all the facts in the case.
