HEAVY DAMAGE INFLICTED.
Buildings Unroofed, Trees Blown Down
and Vineyards Ruined.
Several Persons are Killed by Failing
Buldings.A Residence struck by
lightning Is Burned and the
Inmates Are Cremated.

BUFFALO, April S.-Western New York
was storm swept yesterday and great
damage was done by cyclone. Roughly
estimated the damage to crops, cattle and
buildings will reach many thousands OF
dollars. 1t is impossible to tell what the
damage will be to vineyards. At Spring
vile, barn belonging to Vedder Hem
street was blown down by cyclone. He
was caught by the timbers and crushed to
death. The storm unroofed buildings ali
around Springville.
At Westfield trees, two feet in diameter,
were uprooted, many buildings unroofed
and many smaller structures blown from
their foundations. Many greenhouses
were destroyed.
At Brocton, orchards and vineyards
were badly torn up, trees uprooted and a
store leveled to the ground.
At Dunkirk trees were torn up, wires
blown down, cupola swept from res
idence, and the sIage roof of St. Johns
church ripped up. The Chautauqua Ag-
ricultural Association buildings were de-
stroyed and the stock exhibition sheds
damaged. The residence OF George H.
Talcott, at Talcottville, Lewis county
was supposedly struck by lightning
some time during last night and burned
to the ground. Talcott and his brother

No COMPROMISE REACHED.
The German Army Bill Still q
Bone OF Contention.
AUsTRO GERMAN TREATY.
Results of the First Years Trade Very
Gratifying.
Prince Bismarck Has Been Keeping Up
His Birthday Celebration All Week
Holding Daily Levees-
Foreign Notes.

BERLIN, April S.-The date OF the sec
ond reading of the army bill depends up
on the appearance of the report of the
committee, which is now being prepared
by Herr Groeber, secretary of the COM
mittee. Efforts at a compromise, in the
meantime, give promise of no result.
Party leaders cautiously watch each other,
while sounding the public mind. Mem
bers who have been in contact with their
constituents during the recess have not
learned anything to inspire them to new
action. The National Liberals alone seem
inclined towards a compromise on large
concessions, while the Centrists do not
show the slightest sign of surrendering a
point.
The government organs declare the re-
ports of a conflict between Chancellor
Won Caprivi and DIR. MIGUEL, Prussian
minister of finance, entirely baseless. 1t
is known, however, that DR.. MIGUEL
is arranging to meet the new military
demands, which amount to 50, 600, 900
marks and to meet demand for 80 600 ,00O
marks additional for extension of the
state railways in Prussia. He advocates
the granting of government concessions
to the opposition in both the reichstag
and landtag, and aims at getting further
control of the ministry il Chancellor Won
CapriVi goes out OF Office.
The chancellor's commercial treaty pol
icy has been strengthened by official sta
tistics issued at Vienna, giving results Of
the first years trade under the Austro-
German commercial treaty. Despite the
reduction in tariffs on agricultural
products, the exports from Austria to
Germany are but slightly changed. The
export of pigs his increased 1874 per cent,
while the exports of wheat, corn, rye and
cattle have actually decreased. The re-
port thus disproves the contention of the
agrarians that the treaty has injured
German farmers.
Prince Bismarck has been keeping up
his birthday celebration all week, holding
daily levees. The text of the princes
speech delivered in reply to congratula-
tions OF the Bonn students has strong
Bismarkian touches. He said when he
was a student he did not study. For this
he was sorry because he found later he
could not repay his neglected time. Still,
he added, would not have been Mortified
ii my sons had committed, student-Iike,
the excuses OF students.
University life has its advantages in
somewhat steeling the character by SUBJ
jecting it to contact with criticism of COM
rades. The sword, not the university,
had become the backbone of the best
German official life. The prince told of
one OF the dueling experiences OF his
son, Count Herbert, but the prince did
not moraliZe on dueIing.

A SANTA FE STRIKE.
All the sIachinists and Boiler Makers on
the System Walk Out.


TOPEKA, April s.-Eleven hundred
machinists, boiler makers, blacksIniths,
and helpers in the shops of the Santa Fe
road struck this afternoon for an advance
in wages and other demands, with their
fellow workmen in the same lines along
the entire system, the demands having
been definitely refused by the manage
ment. They demand an increase of TWEEN
ty-five cents per day in wages, that mex
perienced men shall not be required to do
the work of skilled mechanics ana that
when expenses are to be reduced men are
not to be discharged, but the hours re-
duced. The strike was wholly unexpec-
ted except by the men themselves and
management of the road, as no hint of
trouble had reached the public.
The strike has been brewing several
weeks and the demands have been sub
iect to numerous meetings of the griev-
ance committees and much correspon-
dence with the management. Finally,
on Thursday, the ultimatum of the men
was placed in writing and copies sent to
General Superintendent Nickerson and
Superintendent of Machinery, John
Player. The management were notified
that unless the company signed the pro-
posed schedule of wages by noon today
the men would quit. No attention was
paid to the notice.
The men have been led to believe until
the very hour they quit that the man
agement would sign the new schedule
and when they were ordered by the COM
mittee chairman not to resume at O'Clock
the order was unexpected but the men
made no protest. Trains are running as
usual this afternoon and manned by
regular crews.

THE cHocrAw TROUBLES.

The Secretary OF War Requested to Send
Troops to Maintain Peace.
WASHINGTON, April s.-Secretary Hoke
Smith has received detailed report from
Agent Bennett on the present troubles
between factions in the Choctaw nation.
The age15 says he is convinced that the
militia acting under Governor jones'
orders are aggressors. In view of this
fact, he strongly urges that the nation be
placed under martial law. Secretary
Smith, acting under authority of the
treaty of 1866, which provides that ''the
United States shall protect the Choctaws
and Chickasaws from domestic strife, -
has requested the secretary of war to at
once send a detachment of troops to the
scene of the threatened trouble to main
tain peace and protect life and property.
A Paris, Tex, telegram says: No
change has occurred in the state OF the
Choctaw war. The militia at GoodIand
are apparently making no move. They
keep pickets out as if they expected an
attack. Locke received q case of new
Winchesters this morning. From this it
is inferred that he is being reinforced.
Some seem to think the militia have sat
down to starve Locke out.

CHINESE REGlSTRATION.
The Regulations Modified, Dispensing
with Photographs.

PORTLAND, Or, April s.-Internal
Revenue Collector Weidler today re-
ceived the following message from Com
missioner Mason at Washing ton. d. c.:
''Chinese regulations modified today
dispensing with photographs. When
asked what effect the modification of the
regulations would have, Collector Weld
Ter said:
l think it will have Ia most important
effect. Photographing of Cinnamon has
been the main reason why they have OBJ
jected to registering. 1t is considerable
expense to have photographs taken, and
the average celestial does not care to in
cur such expense. Another reason is that
they are very superstitious regarding the
matter, and cannot or will not overcome
their prejudice sufficiently to have their
pictures taken.

ready to treat with the United States for
annexation. She does not want Great
Britain to negotiate treaty of annexa-
ton, as its terms would be made for Eng
lands advantage and not Canada's.

for Violation of Law Postponed.
CHICAGO, April S.-The case against
George B. Spriggs, general freight agent
OF the New York, Chicago & st. Louis
Railway company, was set for April IL,
but it transpired that the most important
witness is missing. 1t is charged by
federal authorities that Spriggs, through
arrangement with W. r. Fay, freight
manager for Swift & company, contrived
to defeat the Dupose of the Interstate
commerce law. Subp9nas for all wit
nesses in Chicago were placed in the
hands of the marshal for service. When
the deputy reached Swift q Company's
office Fay had gone home, and when the
officer reached the residence servant in
formed him that Fay and wife had just
left for New York en- route to Europe.
Instructions were wired to Federal off
Gals in New York and the necessary doc
uments forwarded by mail. Although
ships are closely watched, no trace of
Fay has been found. The case is now
likely to be postponed.
