The (AOl1 Reserve.

WASHINGTON, April 23-The gold reserve de.
pleted yesterday is intact to-day, offers aggre
eating over Si,0OJ00O having been received and
accepted by the secretary this morcing.
Secretary Carlisle said he did not think, in
justice TO those who were disposed TO supply
the government with gold, that their names
should be published and for that reason alone
he did not think it wise to state names and
psces from which the offers came He was
feeling quite good over the fact that the offers
aggregated q sufficient amount to make the gold
reserve intact and leave q little free gold in the
treasury. He expressed the hope that it would
continue to increase so that he would be able TO
meet any demand on the treasury for gold next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Carlisle stated that the treasury would
continue the policy Of paying out gold on notes
and that at an early hour yesterday when it
seemed that the reserve would be encroached
upon he notified the treasurer at New York to
continue paying these notes. He was, there
fore, at a loss to understand how any uncer.
tainty prevailed in the public mind as to the
action Of the department in the premises.
That the uncertainty still PREVAILS, however,
is evident from the numerous kilograms re.
csivSd by the president and Secretaries Car.
isle and Lamont and from tho further fact
that several prominent New York bankers are
here to-day for the purpose, if possible, of get.
ting better and clearer knowledge of the
financial situation from personal interviews

THE MISSISSIPPI STORM.
Details Show Considerable Loss of Life
and Much Damage.

Details Show Considerable Loss of Life
and Much Damage.
MERIDIAN, Miss, April 22.-Details
of the tornado in Clark and Meridian
counties Wednesday night show that it
followed almost in the tracks of the
storm of three weeks ago, killed over
forty people and injured nearly 200.
These figures may be increased when
all of the stricken districts are heard
from. The destruction of property will
amount to hundreds of thousands. En-
tire neighborhOods have been literally
swept off the face of the earth.
The tornado path was through vast
pine forest, broken here and there by
farm. Huge trees were uprooted and
carried for the distance of a mile.
Near the town of Pachuta lived the
family of William Parton, consisting of
himself, wife and three children.
Their bodies, except that of the young
est child, were picked up over mile
away, mangled and entirely nude.
William Fisher, with his mother. wife
and five children, were blown away
andnone of their bodies have been re.
covered.
A child of Sim McGowan was found
dead in tree top mile from its home
-Four negroes on the Aldridge planta-
ton were killed outright and family
of negroes numbering nine persisted by
fire and the wind. One of the children
was found two miles from where it was
playing when picked up by the deadly
wind.
In Clark county two white women, d
white child and six negroes were killed.
The country is strewn for miles with
debris and along the pathway of the
cyclone are found all kinds of house
hold goods, dead cattle and poultry.
Every messenger from remote districts
coming in brings fresh tales of suffer
ing and death.
