The War Likely to Continue.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-There is belief here that there is no possible chance of adjusting transcontinental rate troubles until after the close of the California midwinter fair. The Canadian Pacific has not gone into the conference and for some weeks to come it will not. With the Canadian Pacific out the res toration of rates is hardly possible.

wHITEMAN's RECORD.
1t Was All Wool and a Xard
Wide.

DULUTH. Mimi, July THE an
nouDcement that ex-senator Whiteman
had been arrested in New York for
passing worthless, check did not create
much surprise in business circles here.
Such wind-up to his career had been
expected for some time past. Whiteman
has been a reckless speculatOr and an
inveterate gambler. He dissipated two
gOod-siZed fol tunes, one that he made
here himself on pine land and town lot
speculation eight or nine years ago. and
the other that was left him by his father.
three or four years ago. Whiteman was
plunger, and OF late years he has dis
played bad Judgment that resulted in
his financial ruin. In order to get am
other foothold, he has resorted to many
shady transactions. 1t was a frequent
custom of his to give checks when he
had no funds in the bank to pay them,
ana there are numerous pieces of paper
of this character afioat here. Heavy
judgments are also entered against him
in the district court. He has not lived
in Duluth much during the past year,
spending most of his time at the race
track in Chicago and in the East. He
was here few days about two weeks
ago. and after his departure several
checks arrived from Chicago at one of
the local banks. They were returned,
of course, with the inscription mo
funds" 1t is related that few
months ago he induced two or
iHree hotels IN Chicago to cash his
checks for considerable more than the
amount of the bills, and with the money
thus obtained he played the races and
made quite winning. When the hotels
kicked because the checks were re-
turned unpaid from Duluth he was able
to settle. He does not appear to have
been so fortunate at the Eastern tracks.
Much sympathy is expressed here for
his wife, who was a leading society
belle of st. Paul. She is his second
wife, his first being an actress, from
whom he obtained divorce about five
years ago. The mother of his first wife
claimed he swindled her out Of IS, 000 by
selling her land that he had represented
to be covered with valuable pine, but
which turned out to be worthless, and
she began proceedings against him to
recover the amount paid. He effected
a compromise, and the case never came
to trial.

the Inflated Town.

of means and sobs and shrieks, and
every other face met on the street was
stained with tears. The people in Pome-
roy seemed powerless to do anything
for the sufferers, and it was not until
this morning early, when the
People From Outside Towns
arrived, that anything was done toward
recovering the dead and caring for the
wounded.
What is called the poStoffice building,
but which has recently been used as
billiard room, was turned Into morgue,
and hospitals were established in the
remaining buildings, the biggest being
the Pomeroy hotel. In this improvised
morgue this morning there was a
CHASTITY sight. Billiard tables were
turned into slabs, and on these the
mangled remains of the dead were
stretched out. Blood ran in small
streams on the floor from the bodies
that had to be stretched on it, formin e
puddle of gore up to the tops of at
| tendants' shoes.
Upon the tables lay bodies without
heads, bodies without arms, bodies
whose legs had been torn away with the
| cyclone, and bodies that were crushed
! beyond recognition by the falling tim
bers. On one table lay the remains of
an old woman, hole as big as mans
fist torn in the rear part OF her head.
Close by was baby not more than a
year old, with one of its legs gone, and
its little arm mashed to jelly.

FAMILIES WIPED OUT.
In Some Houses Not a Single
Person Escapes.

In some Houses Not single
Person Escapes. 81
PoMERoY, To-, July 7.-Whole fami-
lies were in many instances wiped out
by the tornado, and in houses contain
ing from four to eight persons not more
than one escaped alive. Husbands have
been left without wife or children, chill
dren are left orphans, and there are
fifteen women in Pomeroy who have
neither husbands nor children left.
The grief of those bereft of the ones
they hold most dear is sad to wit
ness. They walk up and down in front
of the spot that marks the places were
stood their happy homes crying and
sobbing and refusing to be comforted.
Most horrible of all is the wall of the
little children robbed of home and of
mother and father. and in some cases of
brothers and sisters, toe. The fate of
the Loghrin family is sad one. 1t
consisted of father, mother and two
children, both girls. Their house
was reduced to splinders, and ali
save the mother were killed. The re-
mains of the father were picked up be-
meath the broken pieces of his house,
the children were found buried under
the ruins of house 100 yards away.
They were horribly mangled. Mrs.
Loghrin also suffered severe injuries,
ders. She is in the hospital, but there
is not much hope of her recovery. She
does not know the fate of her husband
and daughters. c. 0. Davys cashier
of the Bank of Pemeroy, whose
house was right i'll the path
the storm, is among the dead, likewise
his brother Ben Davy, who has been at
tending school in Des Moines. He came
home to spend the Fourth and intended
to leave this morning. Both bodies
were badly mutilated, the skull of Ben
being crushed and about every bone
in his brothers body being broken.
Mrs. Davy, wife of President Dayy, of
the bank above mentioned, and brother
of the two Davys, also lost her life.
She lived some distance from the Davy
brothers, and was in the house with the

RELIEF TO THE SUFFERERS.
Neighboring Towns Forward Ne

Neighboring Towns Forward Ne
cessaries in Great ProfusiOn.
PoMERoY, To-, July THE National
Bank Of Pomeroy has started a relief
movement. People willing to act as
nurses were assigned to the various hos
pitfalls; and here, also, provisions, money,
bedding and clothing we're received, and
all of these necessaries rolled in rapidly.
BY o'clock this afternoon the office of
the bank was stacked clear to the cell
ing with food and clothing. and boxes
OF each were arriving on every train.
Gov. Boies arrived at 4 o'clock
and took charge of the whole affair. He
was first driven out over the ruins; then
nc visited the hospitals and morgue,
consulted with those who had been
directing things, and then issued
proclamation setting forth the needs of
the sufferers. and calling upon the peo-
pie of Iowa to contribute literally. The
governor said the situation was far
worse than he expected, and told the
people that nothing for their relief and
comfort would be left undone. He or
dered tents, and said he would have a
company or more OF soldiers on the
ground before long.
The following is Gov. Boies' procla-
nation:
To the People of Iowa: From per-
sonaI examination or the ruin wrought
by the storm of last evening find that
forty-two are already dead and upwards
of one hundred are seriously Injured In
this town, which had population OF
1000 souls. The great bulk of the resi-
dence portion of the town IS COM
pletely destroyed, and hundreds of
families are homeless and destitute. In
at least one town west of here eight or
ten are said to have been killed and
many injured. The necessity for aid is
imperative. The good people in towns
adjacent to Pomeroy have supplied i'm
mediate wants for board and clothing,
but it is impossible for them to supply
all that will be needed in the future.
Money, however, is the great necessity
of the hour. We must not only help
these people to live, but we must aid
them to rebuild their destroyed homes.
Permit me to recommend that
in every city and town of
the state immediate steps be in
stituted by the mayors and municipal
officers to organize relief committees
and promptly proceed to collect and for
ward aid This may be directed to the
Relief Committee of Pomeroy," which
will consist of thoroughly responsible
persons of this and other towns, so that
aid will be fairly and equitably distrib-
uted to all who are in want. Citizens
of Iowa, it is no eXaggeration for me to
say that no more deserving appeal was
ever made to you for aid. Be sure that
you are both prompt and liberal.

LAKE CITY, Minn., July T. The
boys of the First regiment are expert
eneing little more than their share of
the disagreeable things of this encamp-
ment. Although rain was badly needed
throughout the country, a heavy rain
storm of about two hours duration last
evening. ccompanied by some heavy
artillery om the heavens. was a not
altogether pleasant reminiscence of the
first night n camp at Lakeview. Full

WORK OF RESCUE.
1t Did Not Really Begin Unit
Noon.

"
Noon.
POMERoY, To-, July Tt was not
until noon today that the work of rescue
really began. By that time there was
good supply of doctors, not large
enough, however, to care for the wound
ed. The ladies at Fonda and Fort Dodge
went out as nurses, and there was
plentiful supply of bedding and food.
AS rapidly as possible the Injured were
taken to the improvised hospital and
given medical attendance. 1t was
soon found, however, that the build
ingS used fol this purpose were
far too small, and efforts were made to
lessen the number of patients in each.
This was no easy task, for there was no
place to put them. About this time,
however, Company D. Fourth regiment,
of Fort Dodge, commanded by Lieut.. G.
w. Hatton. forty strong, arrived with a
fully equipped camp. Their tents were
close to the hospital, and in these
many of the sufferers were placed. They
were not comfortable here, however,
for the sun was intensely hot, aud
caused the thermometer to rise to the
90s. A death occurred at intervals dur
ing the entire day. Those who had ex-
pired during the day are placed at
dozen.

APPEAL TO SATOLLI.
The Poles OF Winona Taking
Drastic Measures.

Drastic Measures.
Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Minn., July 7-Another
radical move has been made by the tur-
bulent members of st. Stanislaus Cath
olic parish of this city, they apparently
not being content to await and abide by
the decision of Bishop Cotter as to
whether or not Father Misicki shall be
returned to them. Evidently appre-
hending that the decision of the bishop
will be contrary to their wishes, John
PellOwski last evening. In behalf of the
parish, teegraphed to Mgr. Sa-
tolli to come to Winona. 1t is
thought to be improbable that
this high church dignitarv will
respond to the request. The church
reposes great faith and trust in Bishop
Cotter, and 1t is entirely within his
province to settle the dispute in Ques-
ton. 1t is not considered probable that
Father Misicki will be returned, al
though. if lie is not--the Poles inform
the bishop in recent letter-the dis
quiet will not cease; but, on the con-
trary, be intensified. The bishop is not
at home at present, not yet having re-
turned from st. Paul.
One cause for the present dissatisfac-
ton among the Poles Is the fact that
their church is closed entirely, no masses
being said or Sunday services held. The
parish is large one, and the death rate
is of corresponding percentage, espe-
cially among the children. Ever since
the recent disturbance in ST. Stainslaus'
parish. the church has been closed, and
this leaves the people without a priest
to officiate at funerals. a fact which
largely accounts for their action in ap-
pealing to Mgr. Satolli, desiring to have
the matter settled at once and the
church reOpened.

MONEY YIS EASIER.
Demand for Rediscounts Ras
Fallen Off Greatly.

EaI1cn NJH Greatly.
NEW YORK, July 7.-At all the largo
banks it was SAID today that the de-
mandS for rediscOunts were lighter than
they had been for months. Receipts
came from all parts of the country, and
the indications were today that early
next week there would be steady flow
of currency back to this city. 1t is be-
lieVed tOmorrOW'S bank statement
will be, considering all the circum-
stances. very good one. The clearing
house loan committee issued S5OO,OOO in
loan certificates today, making the total
amount now outstanding S22, ,515, 600.
There was some demand for money to-
day from the South, but only what is
expected at this time of wear. Ad-
vices received by bankers from various
sections in Texas today were to the
effect that the prospects for the cotton
crop were never better, and that the
cotton in Texas will begin to move in
about six weeks.
Philadelphia still continues to attract
close attention on account of the high
rates of New York exchange. PhiIa-
delphIa banks are now refusing to &C
cept drafts for collection unless they
are allowed their own time in which to
remit. All the clearing house balances
Oii o1C hOW pdiu III Cl6dEs
ing house loan certificates, and the
banks there are unable to pay out such
currency or gold as they have on hand
without reducing their reserve to
dangerously low point.
The assay office has received $3.50, 600
in Spanish gold, making, with some
received from the same source on Mon
day, about 100000 in all this week re-
ceived at the assay office. Some banks
received small quantities of gold TODAY
from their country correspondents.
1t was reported at noon today that a
large sum of gold had been brought in
unaDnounced. The consignment of
100000 to the National Hanover bank
was the cause of the rumor. President
Woodward said that it was a small
amount and all unimportant transac-
ton. for he had done SO tor another
person whose name was withheld, and
that that was the reason why no an.
nouncement had been made when the
gold was ordered abroad.

BURYING THE DEAD.
The Work Kept Up Until Long in
the Night,

PoMERoY, July 7.-The intense heat
made it impossible to keep the bodies of
the dead. and those that were not
claimed by relatives or friends, and by
them buried or taken away by noon.
were placed in the graveyard by the
officials. Forty graves were dug and
filled with dead up to 9 o'clock this
evening, and at that hour the
fitting lanterns showed plainly
that the work of burial was still
going on. There was much trouble in
securing coffins, and by tonight the sup
ply of the towns in this vicinity had
been thoroughly exhausted. Hundreds
of willing hands dragged the dead and
dying animals with which the ground
seemed to be literally strewn to points
on the outskirts of town, piled them in
big heaps and covered them with the
remains of the houses and applied the
torch. Fully dozen of these strange
bonfires were kept going all the after
noon.
