FRANCE TO COPY OUR wARsHlP
Orders c;vsn for Vessel to Be Almost a
Duplic ate of the New York,

New York, July 1a.-The Times
says: Information has been received
in United States naval circles within
a few days that the French government
has authorized the construction of
new and powerful cruiser, which in
general respects is to be almost dup
licate of the new United States war;
ship New York. From what can be
learned the action of the French minis
try of marine is largely based on the
recent success Of the cruiser New York.
The Information has been received in
United States naval circles with
marked satisfaction. 1t is the first ac-
acknowledgement by first-class foreign
power of the superiority of United
States naval construction. 1t will be
noted, naval officers say, that the
building of the new navy of the United
States began in earnest us late as 1885.
In less than ten years the naval con-
structors of the United States navy
have succeeded in developing type of
warship which is deemed worthy Of
copying by France, and France pos.
3sesses its own school Of naval archi'
tecture.

SIOUX CITY, July s.-The most de-

Iowa swept over tho state Thursday
night and in its path hundreds are
mourning their dead and wounded.
Most people in Sioux City felt yes
terday that calamity was impending
and this morning they learned that
their premonilion was well
founded. All day alternate
currents of cold air and sufforat-
ing heat swept over the town and while
the northern sky was black with
threatening clouds it was blue in the
south. Occasionally dashes of rain fell
and rafting thunder startled the peo-
pie.
Before S o'clock last night the blow
was struck and for distance of fifty
miles along the line of the Illinois
Central the country has been devas-
tated.

Organized for Systematic Work.

Friday afternoon, when tho special
relief train arrived from Sioux City,
the physicians and surgeons present
found that the work Of caring for the
injured was being conducted without
any particular system. DIR. II. G. Ris-
tine, of Fort Dodge, had conducted the
work, but as he went home early Fri
day afternoon the efficiency OF the
medical relief suffered. from the alb
sence of a director.
A meeting of the physicians and sur

DR.. Hornbrook, of Cherokee, was
chosen surgeon in chief. Dr. Commit,
OF Sioux City, was made secretary, and:
the office of the Wisconsin Lumber
company, near the depot, was selected
for headquarters
The surgeons and nurses registered

tion at Pomeroy.

PoMERoY. Ia, July S.--A brighter
day never dawned on sadder commu-
nifty than that which lighted the east
ern heavens this morning and shower
ed golden beams on mass of ruins
which, but few days ago, was the
beautiful little village of Pomeroy. All
night nurses sat attentively beside the
cots of the wounded, ministcring to
their wants, while many physicians
made regular trips through the differ
ent wards to do all in their power to
alleviate the sufferings of the
unfortunates. There was little
sleep for those engaged in the care of
the wounded and number of thos.
not thus engaged were busy preparing
accommodations which were badly
needed this morning.
Many of the physicians who have
been in attendance during the past two
days were compelled to go home and
the hospital force is badly crippled this
forenoon. DIR. r. e. Commit, of Sioux
City, who has been so dirigent in the
direction of the surgeons and nurses,
returned home this morning and DR..
Wright is in charge.
1t is expected that the afternoon
train from the west will bring num-
ber of physicians and surgeons from
Sioux City and Intermediates points.
The relief committee, also has assnr-
ances of the arrival of many addi-
tional supplies today.
AS yet there have been no amputa-
tions, but it is thought one of the in
jured men will have to have a leg taken
off this afternoon to save his life.
Those who are in the most imminent
danger are:
Jesse Purden years old.
August Myers, l2 years old.
James lMellor, 45 years old.
Sam Thomas, 40 years old.

committee to have charge of the distri
buttons Governor Boies was present
and made n brief address in which he
deplored The terrible catastrophe
which had come upon the town. He
stated that the city should at once
make general appeal for aid, and that
n committee having the confidence Of
the people at large should be appointed
to manage the distribution of funds
He had no doubt but that there would
be dissatisfaction, but every effort
should be made to obviate it. He had
looked over tho ground and had issued
a proclamation to the people of the
state to lend all aid possible.
After considerable preliminary talk
a committee composed of six men from
Pomeroy and five men from the sur
rounding country, was appointed to act
rs n general relief committee. The

made no appointments of snbcommit-
tees, owing to the late hour, but n
meetlng will be held this forenoon at

Fighting Butcher.

In the Police Court yesterday Fred
Ehrhardt, charged with battery in hav-
ing assaulted c. Kast with shovel, was
arraigned. w. A. Anderson was his
counsel, and waived reading of the COM
plant, pleaded not guilty and had the
case set for hearing to-day.
j. II. Barry, who was arrested by
Special Officer Radigan for making big
fight at Twentieth and O streets on Tues
day evening, was found guilty of dis
turbing the peace and will be sentenced
to-day. Barry was elected from the
swimming baths, and later attacked Sup
erlntendent B. B. Brown, knocking him
down. c. L. Smith attempted to protect
Brown, and got between Barry and him,
when Barry turned his attentions to
Smith.
He struck Smith some heavy blows,
and, selling him by the whiskers pulled
out handful OF them and battered his
face severely. Smith, however, proved
hot metal, and he got back at Barry and
was rapidly pulverlzing him when Officer
Radigan came up.
Barry then attempted to use a knife,
and Kadigan quieted him by striking
MN over the head with revolver. Every
one participating in the scrimmage got
more or less satisfaction, although Barry
was SILL lighting when cast into Jail.
}. ID. and esd. Shearer were arraigned
for violating Ordinance 3l2, in repairing
sidewalk at Second and | streets with
boards. They pleaded not guilty and de-
manded trial by jury. 4 venire for
thirty jurors was issued and the case set
for to-day.
G. Walker, who furnished $50 deposit
when arrested for vagrancy, failed to APP
pear when his case was called and the
deposit was declared forfeited. Walker
Is said to have lett town rather than APP
pear to answer to the charge.
Ell Mayo, arraigned for battery upon
woman named trace Cook, was dis
charged from custody. The woman, who
is half crazed from the effects Of dissipa-
! ton and blows, acknowledged satisfac-
ton and was taken to the County Hos
pltal. She was not competent in any re-
spect to appear in court, and was SEEM
lngly the only witness against Mayo.
George Lee, james WEIGH, Frank Wat
son, Frank Wilson, John Beaver and
Frank Dunn, arrested for vagrancy, were
discharged. The arresting officers failed
to furnish sufficient evidence against
any of them, and the men claimed to be
working at various places whenever they
could get employment.
