win B.l.pc. On IA Our Favor.

New YORK, April 25.-The agents IN this
city of the transatlantic steamship lines
have been figuring on the probable result
of the season. saloon passenger business a.
relates to the Chicago show.
One of the best informed bankers down
town says that Americans spend $40, OO0UUO
abroad each summer. Not more than one
third of that sum viii be spent on the other,
side this season.
The mathematicians of Bowling Green
estimate that the falling of in eastward
bound traffic will be 80 pr cent. at least
while the fair is in progress. The number.
of foreigners who come to See the grand
show will be increased as much more. Even
now the increase over the figures OF last
spring is 40 per cent These will diseurse
in this country, one of the most expert
enced fgurers says. not less than $2OOOO,OOO.
This calculation does not include the ex-
penditures of all the visitors, but simply or
those who would not come here il there
wasn't a fair. Nor does it take in the prof
its to Americans derived from exhibits.
The revenue to the railroads, expressmen
and laborers for handling the exhibits will
be something enormous, but there Is no way
of figuring on IL.

Krupp's Present to Chicago.

CHICAGO, April pat the conclusion of
the worlds fair, the monster Krupp gun, the
biggest piece of ordnance in the world, will
be presented to Chicago by Herr Krupp and
mounted in a fort off Hyde park, permission
to build which was given to Colonel Robert
Rae, of Chicago, by the secretary of war.
The fort will be located on five acres of
made ground and according to the very
latest plans of Notifications The works
will be of earth, RS stone is no longer of
value to resist the terrific assaults of modern
implements of war. Work will begin very
soon and be pushed with the greatest posi-
BILE rapidity. 1t will be finished in a COM
paratively short time, and from then until
the end of the fair 1t will be used as prac-
tice ground for an artillery company, the
practice being carried on with the most ap-
proved artillery in the governments posses
sion.
When the fair is over the fort will be occu-
pied by the government artillery, and the
monster Krupp gun will be mounted there
ready either far inspection or foc active ser
vice. With its immense power 1t can pro-
tect Chicago from its northern coast to it's
southern, for by its perfected sights expert
gunners can obtain an accuracy of mark
manship that will enable them to throw a
shot weighing pretty nearly a ton clear
through man-of- war. One shot is guaran-
teed to send the largest craft afloat to the
bottom. The gift, Colonel Rae says, was
both q surprise and delight.

SITUATION on the Union rae nc.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 22-Officials of
the Union Pacific road say that the strike
on their system is causing them but little
trouble. The road Is not crippled in the
least, they say, by the Locomotives being
disabled, and that they are all in good re-
pair.
At Armstrong there are seven new en-
gines in the round house and the company
says that the rolling stock of the road is in
such excellent condition that the service
would not be impaired should the strike
continue for months.
The stikers on the other hand say that in
spite of the statements made by the CON-
pany to the contrary, the road is suffering
from scarcity of locomotives in good repair.
They say that the men at work are not
skilled mechanics, and that consequently the
repairs on the engines are not thoroughly
done. They claim that the company has a
number of disabled engineers at different
points on the system. The men present a
bold front, and claim that they will surely

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April 22.-One Of the
most widespread and destructive storms
for years has been raging all over the north
west, west and south. It began Tuesday
and grew in violence and extent nearly
three days It first displayed its power in
Kansas where three persons were killed and
many injured in Usage City. Then it took
on the form of fierce rain and hail which
visited many places in the west, causing
small floods and doing incalculable damage
to fruit trees aud vegetables.
All Thursday the storm ragged in ever
widening circles until by evening the entire
west was In the midst of a firerce spring
blizzard. At Columbia, Mo-, and other
points, the rain changed to snow which fell
during the night and morning, and in west
ern Kansas the worst sand Ntorms in years
ragged. Reports show that the wind blew
gale all over the west and that the tempera-
ture was SO low that farmers are in despair
In the meantime a tornado formed In Mis-
sissippI and swept through two counties.
At one place eleven colored people were
crushed in their cabin and burned to death.
At other points, lives are lost and meal
culable damage done.
In the northwest q fierce blizzard swept
down upon the land and two feet of snow
fell in Minnesota and the Dakotas, while in
northern Nebraska and in northern and
eastern Iowa it was equally as bad.
On Lake Michigan the worst gale in years
ragged and there is every reason to believe
that many lives have been lost, while there
is great fear of the worlds fair buildings.

have completed reports from the six great
winter wheat states. Ohio makes the most
favorable showing, and the prospects are
that her average of 40,OO0, 600 will be main
tanned. Kansas, which last year raised IT,
0O0, 200, or nearly as much as Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Michigan combined, now has the
poorest prospects, and the indications are
that not over half crop will be raised.
Conditions in Kansas are growing worse.
Indiana reports indicate full average crop
of 40, OOO,00O Illinois, Missouri and Michi-
gan promise below the average. They raised
25 600 OOO last year.

BRUSSELS, April 2o.-At the cost of O
great sacrifice in lives, limbs and money,
the workingmen of Belgium have won their
great fight for universal suffrage, and it is
now believed that all will soon be serene
once more. The dreaS of terrible uprising
of people, similar to that of the French
revolution in it's resistless rage against priv
lege and power, had the effect of bringing
the cham Der around to the popular side.
There is no doubt in many minds that had
the chamber not acted promptly there would

Sufficient Gold From the West.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-It is believed
that so far as possible western bankers will
come to the aid of the secretary of the treas
ury and supply him with sufficient gold to
meet the present demands. The issuance
of bonds will probably be the last method
that the secretary would turn to if a crisis
should arrive. Secretary Carlisle said that
he had 81, IL, 600 free gold in the treasury.
This was obtained principally from the
west in exchange for small notes and relieves
the tension, at least for the present.
