THERE WE'RE THREE CYCLONES.
Fridays Devastation Was Not the Work
OF II Single Twistcr.

SPRING VALLEY, Mimi, Sept. 25.-
That there were at least two and prob
ably three twisters responsible for the
work of destruction and death Friday
night seems conclusive upon eXamina-
tion. While several points were struck
at about 10 o'clock, Burr Oak, village
near Usage and to the southwest Of
Leroy, was visited at IL o'clock, snd
it does not seem likely one cyclone
would make such complete circle
and last from 9:45 to II o'clock in a
radius of Smiles. Furthermore, Leroy
was struck at 9:45 o'clock and Lresco,
Ia, on the southeast, at almost, il
not precisely the same moment, so
that it is quite clear that these were
separate cyclones.
ALGoNA, Ia, Sept. 24,-Additional
victims of Fridays cyclone reported
in this vicinity are:
Baker. child OF Albert; Frank Becklemeyer;
Clousedens child: Mrs. Christian pau and
two children; Rockvells child, NJ. sweeper
and two children.

Clothing, Food and Furniture Among tho
Articles Now Needed.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 25-Maj William
Mahoney, assistant quartermaster gen.
eral, has returned from his trip
through the fre-swept district
in the northern part of the
state. Maj. Mahoney says the re-
ports of the destitution and suffer-
ing have not been exaggerated. 1t is
estimated there are in all 5000 people
outside of Phillips who need help.
Most of them have been looked after,
but there are many whom the commit
tee will have to care for through
the winter There is considera BILE
sickness among the women and
children and many of the men
are badly burned. In several
cases men may lose their hands and
feet. The greatest need at present,
Maj. Mahoney says, is feed for horses
and cattle. There is not blade of
grass or a green twig in the burned
country, and in many cases farmers
who saved their homes lost their hay
and grain stacks and woodpiles. 1t
will be necessary to help them. The
people need furniture, particularly
chairs, tables and bedsteads.

QUEEN ILLS GRIEVANCE.
A Rumor That She VIII Sue Uncle Sam
for 100000.


SAN Francisco, Sept. 25.-It is stated
on what appears to be good authority
that the errand of II. A. Widemann, of
Honolulu, to this country is for the
purpose of commencing a damage suit
against the United States on behalf of
the ex-queen of Hawaii. The amount
of damage asked for is said to be $780,
900. The claim is that the provisional
government could never have been
established and the queen deposed had
it not been for the unwarranted ac-
ton of recognized agent of the United
States, the captain of the warship Bos-
ton, which action was subsequent
ly formally disavowed by the presi-
dent. Whatever Mr.. Widemann's err
rand is, his departure from Honolulu
was kept profound secret until
almost the moment of sailing
Within few days he will go to
Washington, where he does not deny
he has business of Importance to
transact. Mr.. Widemann declined to
be interviewed concerning his mission
to Washington, and when asked
whether he was going to institute a
damage suit ON behalf of the ex-queen
his answer was that he had been ac-
cused of that

WITHIN EASY BEACH.
Troops Well Placed to Cope with Any
Emergoncy.


WAsHrNeToN, Sept 25.-Tbe concen-
tration of the regular army forces near
the great railway centers, for the pur-
pose of maintaining the respect of all
classes for the laws of the United States,
which has been ordered to take place the
first week of October, upon the assump-
ton that Indian troubles will here
after be comparatively insignificant,
while the necessity for the use of force
in the thickly populated portions of
Che country will be paramount,
is clearly shown in the distribu-
tion and arrangement of the
commands of the department of
the east, which includes the country
east of Michigan, Indiana, Missouri
and Texas. While over two-thirds of
the entire strength of the army will
continue at stations west of this line,
more than 6, 900 regulars will be under
orders from the headquarters on
Governors island, New York harbor,
when Gen. Miles succeeds Gen.
Howard in November. The CEN
ter of strength will be at New York
city, but the fcrce along the Canadian
border will be found considerably aug
mented, and the secondary centers of
Washington, Cincinnati and Atlanta
will be within easy reach of any ex-
ternal menace or domestic disturbance.

Toxic, Sept. Q, via San Francisco,
Sept 25.-China is willing to agree to
compromise, according to well-au-
thenticated rumors, but japan insists
on war. A great fleet of transports,
carrying 10000 troops, is to sail in
three day from Japan. Its destina-
tion is carefully-guarded secret,
but there is a rumor an at
tempt will be made to march direct
to Pekin from some convenient point
on the Chinese coast. The emperor
will start September IL for Hiroshima,
in the inland sea, the new war head
quarters. All news relating to move
ments of the army or the navy is rigid
ly suppressed here, but troops are
marching night and day to the various
rendezvous and a military railway sys-
tenn connecting the principal arsenals
and forts is being built hurriedly.
LONDON, Sept 25.-A dispatch to the
Times from St Petersburg says: 1T
is reported here that Chinese maraud-
e have attacked the station of the
new Ussuri section of the Siberian
railway, plundered the telegraph Office
and killed eight Russian employees 1t
is feared that the government will
make this pre- :ext to interfere in the
Corean struggle between China and
Japan"
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Times pub
fishes letter from Nagasaki, dated
August IA, which says that the people
have gone wild over the invasion of
Corea. In addition to $4,000 troops
already shipped to Corea 100, 900 more
nre under arms and the reserves have
been called out. Everything is done
without any disturbance of business.

is concentrating all the troops raised
that on the route to Wi Ju ex-
tensive earthworlss are being thrown
up. The levies are composed OF
hardy north Cinnamon, and are
excellent material, but they are badly
armed, only about 1000 of them hav.
ing good military rifles. Further sup.
plies, however, are being hurried UP
from the southern arsenal The Chi
nese force intrenched upon the Yalu
river is estimated to number 3S, 00C
men. Many of these are raw lev.
les and are also badly armed. The
loss of field guns, rifles and ammuni
tion suffered at Ping Yang has greatly
embarrassed the Chinese war depart
ment. 1t is recognized that battle
must be fought on the Yalu. and the
Chinese are straining every nerve tc
retrieve the disaster at Ping Yang.

The Beardsley House Badly Damaged By
 Fire Last Nisht-Loss S1o,OoO.
 Winsted, Dec. 27.-The Beardslsy house, one of the finest hotels in vest ern Connecticut. was badly gutted by fire tonight. The fire originated on the fifth floor in room which was occupied by George Eldridge. The lace curtain was blown into the gas jet, and in few minutes the flames burst out of the win dows in the room. There was no one in the room at the time the fire broke out, The fire was well under way when 1t was discovered by some of the guests in the hotel, who gave the alarm to the other people who were stopping there. Two alarms were turned in and brought the four fire companies and the fire engine to the fire. The fire gutted the fifth floor, and the water damaged the rooms on the floors below.
 Three streams of water were poured on the fire for two hours, and at o'clock this evening the fire was under control. The firemen, however, remain ed for three hours afterwards, pouring water into the building. The total loss to the proprietors is estimated at $10,- 900.
 There were many guests at the hotel tonight. among them being ex-Judge Rorabaok of Canaan and Representa- tive W. B. Smith. The weather was ex- tremely cold, and the firemen suffeYed somewhat. The Beardsley house prop erty is owned by @ joint stock com pany, and is now under the management of George Spencer.

STATEMENT OF SPRINGER.
The People Do Not Understand the Present
 Modiflcations.

The People Do Not Understand the Present
 Modifcations.
 Washington, Dec. 2.-Mr. Springer, chairman of the house committee on banking and currency, to-day said he did not believe that the people of the country generally understood the modi- fioations in the present banking system, which would be accomplished by the passage of the Carlisle bill as now pro- posed to be amended He stated that the Carlisle bill proposes a radical change in the manner of securing bank note circulation. The rapid payment of the public debt and the limited num- Der of United States bonds now out standing have rendered this kind of security impracticable, and some other must be devised or the national bank circulation will soon be retired.
 On 8 circulation of s2OO,0O0,000 the present national bank circulation, the safety fund proposed in the bill would amount to S1O.0o0.000. and this whole fund could be drawn upon to pay the notes of any bank that failed. This se- curity, together with the other men, toned in the bill. is deemed by the safest financiers and bankers of the country as amply sufficient to secure the bill holders under any circumstances. MT. Springer said that the absolute security of the Carlisle plan is 30 percentum greater than that of the Baltimore plan.
 MT. Springer said that if congress failed at this session to pass this bill or one of similar character he was in- chned to the opinion that there would be a very strong pressure upon the congress to deal with this important question.

 Wounds Suggest Murder.
 Waterbury. Dec. T.-At 7:bo last night Alexander Buchi. young Frenchman who has been in this coun- try but short time. was found lying near the railroad track between Litofs- field and Albert streets in the borough of Torrington. He was unconscious and badly cut about tho head. He died at a. m. to-day.
 It was at first believed that the man had been struok by train. but Medical Examiner T. s. Hanchett thinks the wounds were made by an axe. They are two in number. one over the eyes and the other on top of the head. clean. direct cuts.
 Buchi was a man of good habits. living with his mother and sister and employed in the Torrington brass mill. and had just drawn his pay. which was still in his pocket.
 The only clue to the assault Is the story of two boys. who say they saw two men run from the spot q few min utes before the wounded man was found. Dr. Hanchett has telegraphed Coroner Higgins at Winsted to make an investigation.

 Buffer, who contracted to deliver cavalry saddles of a certain quality, made some inferior goods and they were rejected. Later, the Presse says, he got them accepted.
