RUINED BY WIND.
Half Score of Counties in Missis-
eippi and Alabama Visited.
a Settlement OF Negro Cabins Destroyed
aud Many Unfortunate inmates Killed
--Full Details Lacking, but Enough
Known to Make Dreadful List.

MERIDIAN, Miss, April 21.-Passen-
| gers on n train which reached here at l
o'clock Thursday morning gave partic-
ulars of frightful tornado that crossed
near Jasper and Clarke counties We'd
ncsday afternoon. The cyclone origi-
mated in Jasper county, thirty-fve
miles south of here, and travelled in a
northeasterly direction. A settlement
of Negro cabins was destroyed and
many of the unfortunate inmates per-
ished. Col Berry's magnificent planta-
ton was swept clean, but fortunately
none of his family was injured Several
Negroes were badly hurt
From this point to Barnett, thirty
miles south of here, the storm was es-
pecially severe. DIR. I. j. Krouse, one
of the largest plantation owners in the
south, was heavy loser. Every stick
of timber on his place was carried
away and every house demolished. DIR.
Krouse was badly injured. His son had
his skull crushed and his wife and
daughter were slightly hurt A negro
on DR.. Krousc's plantation named
Henry German, with his wife and child,
were imprisoned under the ruins of his
cabin, and fire originating from the
kitchen stove slowly roasted the un-
fortunated wretches, who plteously
begged that death might come and re-
Lease them from their sufferings
Three miles east of Barnett the wind
struck a neighborhood of farms. Tom
Lots dwelling was swept away, his legs
broken and other members of the fam
lily slightly bruised. John Smiths
house was leveled and he received seri-
Gus injuries. Frank McCormicks tur-
pentine still was ruined. B. L. Leg
gett's store was destroyed and his stock
of merchandise is now hanging in
shreds upon the branches of the forest
trees. Leggett's wife and children were
buried in the ruins, which caught fire,
and would have perished but for tho
timely arrival of neighbors. A little
further on three negro cabins were
struck. Two negroes were killed and
several badly wounded.
Twenty miles east of Barnett tho
storm crossed the Memphis Sc Ohio
railroad track, tearing down three
miles of telegraph wires, and obstruct-
ing the track. The telegraph poles and
"lIco 4OE IL llloL LuLlCc O4 lIFC illllGS dAOuR
the track of the New Orleans IS North
eastern railroad are down.
Crossing the Memphis & Ohios tracks
north of Shuberta, the storm created
havoc among the Negro cabins on the
different plantations. Reports of the
damage are coming in slowly, but such
as are received indicate an awful loss
of life and p-ouerty. All along the
thirty miles of the cyclones path is
strewn the dead carcasses Of horses,
cattle and all descriptions of live stock,
while crops are ruined. The loss will
reach into the hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
MIDLAND CITY, Ala, April 21.-A tor
nado struck this town late Wednesday
night and destroyed dozen residences,
four stores and two warehouses. The
storm lasted but few minutes and no
one was killed, although a number Of
persons were seriously bruised.

LONDON, April 2O.-The Argentine
government has made, through the
Earrings, an offer to the Rothschild
committee to pay 1900 900 pounds an
nually, with resumption of payments
of full interest after FIVE years, as set
tlement of the foreign debt, the bond
holders to arrange among themselves
how the amount shall be apportioned.
This last provision probably will render
futile the whole offer, as it is likely to
cause endless discussion among the
claimants

Convicts aud Free Miners Fight.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 21.-A re-
port reached here Thursday morning to
the effect that a conflict between the
convict guards and free laborers at the
Tracy City mines had occurred, and re-
suited in the death of several and the
injury of four or five. The state mil
itia were resting on their arms at the
capitol and have been ordered to the
scene OF trouble. The troops left on n
special train Immediately.
1t is said the trouble originated in
dissatisfaction with the new warden
and new guards. The miners have been
very restless at Tracy City since the
trouble with the convictT last summer.

New York, April 21.-After a linger-
ing illness of many months Mrs. Almina
Hancock, widow of Maj. Cen Winfield
S. Hancock, died Thursday afternoon
Mt the residence of the generals niece,
Mrs. Eugene Griffin, Gramercy park.
Mrs. HancoclS's strength had been
slowly wasting away under the subtle
influence of a succession of sorrows
that had subdued her naturally
cheerful disposition, and withdrawn
her from society during the later
years of her life. Her only daughter,
Ada Eliza beth, q remarkably beautiful
and accomplished girl, died in this city
on the 18th of March, 1875, at the age
of eighteen. Her mother, Mrs. Adeline
Russell, died at the generals official
residence on Governors island on the
Gath of April, 1883. Her only son, Rus
sell, died in Mississippi on the SOth of
December, 1884. These bereavements
were followed by the death of her hus-
band at Governors island on the 9th of
February, 1856.

RIVALRY
Between English aud Russian AdmIrals il
tho Naval Review.

tho Naval Review.
FIT. MONROE, Va, April %. Secretary
Herbert will probably have n complex
problem TO solve before Monday,
should the Russian admiral, now on
his way from the West Indies, arrive
here before the departure of the fleet
on that day. A naval officer of one
of the flag-ships stated Friday that
the English vice-admiral, Sir j. o.
Hopkins, does not relish the idea of hav-
ing any but first place in the fleet form
alton when it starts for New York,
which would give him the place of
honor behind the American vessels.
The Russian admiral, it is understood,
outranlis Admiral Hopkins, the formers
commission ante-dating that of the lat
ter, both being for The same grade. 1t
is believed that proceedings will follow
in the formation, and If such should be
the case the Russian feet would be
entitled to sail at the head of the
foreign ships, not withstanding the
fact that Admiral Hopkins arrived in
port first The English admiral, it is
said, has looked over the matter and is
determined to head the line. Should
the Russian persist that he is entitled
to the first place. Admiral Hopkins
will produce n commission which he
has ready, promoting him to the grade
of full admiral, run up his flag. salute
it, and thus be entitled to lead the line.
Naval officers are watching with in-
terest the outcome of this phase of
naval procedure. The caravels may be
sent ahead in conveys of the tug boats,
Friday evening many officers left for
the international ball at Norfolk The
ball room was crowded with dancers
until late hour.

FOR. FOUR YEARS
Republican Office II olders of "a Certain
Class Arc to Serve.

Republican Office olders of Certain
Glass Are to Serve.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-There has
been some question among senators and
congressman v. neither the statement
that republican officials would be per-
mitted to serve four years from the
time of their commission meant that
the term began with their first commits
sion, or that commission issued
after their confirmation. President
Cleveland himself has made this matter
fixed by stating to Tennessee con-
gressman that it meant that the man
should serve four years from the
commission issued after the confrma-
ton. This decision is to apply to all
officials not directly political, and that
includes district attorneys, surveyors
of customs, collectors of internal rev.
enue, sub-treasurers, u. S. marshals,
postmasters and ap praisers of customs
Some of these officials, notably
collectors of internal revenue and
appraisers of customs, have no term
fixed, but they serve at the pleasure of
tho president Objection was made to
this course by the congressman, but he
was asked if the law did not provide for
such thing, and the fact that Presi-
dent Harrison had violated it did not
affect the action of this administra-
tion.
