DEATH AND DISASTER.
REVIEW OF CONSEQUENCES OF
THE LITTLE ROCK CYCLONE.
Fatalities Number Four and the List
of the Injured Reaches Thirty
Seven, While the Destruc-
tion to Property Can
Not be Estimated.

The aftermath of Tuesday nights
cyclone at Little Rock is given in
today's issue of the Arkansas Ca
zette as follows: The terrible cy-
clone of Tuesday evening, which
played havoc with life, limb and
property in Little Rock, surpassed
IN extent of dister even the most
liberal estimates formed in the ex-
element Immediately following the
visitation. A revised list places the
number of killed and wounded at
forty. A survey of the devastated
portions of the city and of the ter
rible damage entailed justifes the
general expressions of surprise that
the casualties were not more nu-
merous. Recitals of hair breadth
escapes from death are heard on
every hand.
At an early hour in the morning
crowds of sight-seers thronged the
streets and viewed the ruins in
amazement. Exaggerated as the
rumors had seemed, the terrible de-
struction wrought was far more ex-
tensive than imagined The first
estimate of the aggregate damage
to property by the storm was placed
at from 100000 to 81, 900, 900, A
thorough review indicates that the
losses will not fall far short of the
last named figures. Commendable
promptitude was evinced, not only
by the authorities, but the general
public, in extending aid and COM
fort to the sufferers.
The good work performed by
Mayor Halls relief corps at the In
sane Asylum was the subject of fa-
vorable comment by those who wit
messed it; while the assiduity of
Chief of Police Mcmahon and his
men in catering to the relief of the
wounded in the storms path was
productive of infinite good to the
benefciaries. 1t was an awful night
and one that will never be effaced
from the memories of all who ex-
perienced its terrors.
The owners of wrecked property
instituted work at once, clearing
away the ruins, preparatory to re-
building. Notwithstanding the
gloom which pervaded the commun-
ity by reason of the calamitous re-
suits of the cyclonic visitation, the
sufferers went ahead with the work
of repairing the damages, evincing
a determination and zeal born of
true grit and courage.
The list of dead so far as known
not including patients at the insane
Asylum, number of whom are
missing, but are thought to have
escaped during the excite
ment, is as follows DR.. ], T.

LOSES HIS THRONE.
China's Young Emperor to be De
throned---Continued Japan
ese Conquest.

A special cable message from
Shanghai, to the New York Press,
yesterday, announces that the
Emperor of China will very likely
be dethroned in favor of Prince
Kung's son, who will treat with the
japanese,
Ii Hung Chang has been super
ceded in the supreme command by
Gen. Sang Using, of the Province
Of Human, who has received full
lowers. Lii Hung Chang retires
tisgusted to Pao Ting Foo, the cap
i al of the Province of Chilli.
His alleged detection to the Jap
anese is only canvassed consequent
to the recall of Prince Kung
Twenty thousand Human soldiers
are gathering around Shanghai
Kwanan, the terminus of the great
wall, where it forms the boundary
between the Province of Chilli and
Shing-King.
A subsequent dispatch from the
same source says:
The japanese have occupied Wi
Ju without meeting with any op-
position on the part of the Chinese
troops.
Friction between Prince Kung,
the Emperor's avuncular appointee
to the Presidency of the Tsung-Li-
Yamen (the Foreign Board, and Ii
Hung Chang, the dispatch says, is
inevitable. The Viceroy is certain
to be hampered in his conduct op-
erations against the japanese. The
Imperial Council is completely dis
organized and the corruption which
has prevailed in the Commissary
Department for years has left the
troops with no suitable clothing
and scanty supply of food. Can
mons, rifles and other munitions of
war, which from time to time were
alleged to have been bought and
paid for, cannot now be found, and
presumably the money represented
to have been expended for them
was appropriated by the officials
into whose hands it was intrusted,
The immense camp between Tien-
Tsin and Taku is filled with raw lev
les of troops who are without arms,
and in many cases without sufficient
clothing to cover them. Disorder
in the camp is rampant, there be-
ing not the slightest degree of dis
cipline. Executions take place
daily, the merest infraction of rule
or law being punishable by the loss
of the offenders head. European
residents of China are taking refuge
in the treaty ports under the pro
lection of the warships Of their re"
spective countries Large numbers
Of Chinese merchants are also seek
ing safety in fight. Their goods
are being seized, and in many cases

INSANE ASYLUM.
Last night a Gazette reporter
called on Gov, Fishback and asked
him if he would call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to provide
means for rebuilding the State
Lunatic Asylum or whether in his
opinion the board could have the
work done.
"The Governor said:
81 will not call an extra session
of the Legislature. We have saw
ed enough money in current expen-
ses, under the new regime, to re-
build the walls of the wings and to
recover them. AS to the central
building we can wait for the Legis-
lature to convene before deciding
what to do with that. The tower
will have to be taken down before
repairing the central building, as
the floors of the tower are all out,
joists and all are gone and | suspect
its walls are so badly cracked as to
make them dangerous. I think
$50, 900 will restore the entire build
ing to it's former condition.

REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIAsM.

HEPUBLfCAN ENTHUSIASm. There will be an impressive manifesto tion in this city to-day of the spirit that snimates the Republicans of Connecticut this year. Some do not see any special reason why the manifestation should be made thus early In the season, before the nominations are made, and before those who make 1t can be thoroughly definite in their enthusiasm. But 1t can fairly be claimed that 1t is we'll to be enthusiastic now for pure Republicanism, without ref erence to any particular candidates. We cannot see that harm is likely to come from warming up early, and the fact that there is disposition to warm up so early irdi- cates cheering eagerness for the coming fight and Is promise of victory.
 Some have feared that this general as- sembly of Republicans would turn out to be something in the nature of State con- vention in which the fate of certain csndi- dates would be settled. We do not think so. It seems to us that the affair is simply the natural exuberancs of the spirit which is prevalent among Connecticut Republi- cans. They want to talk and to walk in honor of Rspublicanism, and they feel that New Haven is As good place to so talk and walk in as there Is in Connecti- cut. They are right in so feeling This is, to be sure, a Democratic city, but 1t fig not hopelessly lest, and 1t makes up in natural and acquired beauty what 1t lacks in political virtue. Our visitors will be moved to much admire 8 city that can look so we'll under Democratic blight, and they will see that it would be an earthly Paradise If a majority of its inhabitants were Republicans.
 We hope It will not rain on the just as they go about our streets to-day, and we hope that they will have a good time and be strengthened In the theory and practice of true Republieauisn,

MARCHING ON.


 P. I. Barnum did good many interest ing things, but perhaps the most interest. Ing shing he eyer did was to briiga the chasru that formerly existed between the circus and morality, or responsibility. When he began to grow big in the circus business the circus was 8 decidedly disrep- utable sffsir. There were no theological students among the performers or mana. gers, and there were a good many jail birds among those who did the rough work of the show. Barnum, with his usual astute- ness, saw that he must improve the reputation of the circus if he wanted to gather in the half dollars of the good. He went at the work with skill and efficiency. He knew the value of a name, and his show was named The Great Moral Show. Then he planned to make 1t passably consistent with its name. He did what he could to discourage the bands of thieves that used to wander about with the circus. He soon improved matters in this respect so that one who went to his show was not certain to be robbed. He laid stress upon the instruc- tive and moral quality of his me- nagerie. His performers were all gen. tlemen and ladies. And his roust- abouts were not as rule escaped con- victs. Having made these improve ments he took pains to invite teachers ard ministers to see his Great Moral Show. They were shy st first, but free circus ticket has much power. Then, too, some of the teachers didn't know but they could learn something which would bene. fit thsir scholars at the circus, and some of the ministers didn't know but they could see the difference between good and evil more clearly at the circus than at some other places. So they hesitstingly went. They were royalty treated by the King of Showmen, given the best seats in the tent and protected from the lemonade and peanut urgers. They had @ good time. did not see anything to cause remorse, and feeling that 1t was nothing more than fair to say so in writing they did 1t, and Bsrnum would modestly print tuCA2 Chhetc 1t uOE thk6 him long to establish the fact that he had not only the greatest show on earth, but also the most moral show. And from that day to this there has been no question about either its greatness or its morality. Yesterday all the churches and the schools in New Haven and the surrounding towns were we'll represented at the show, and many of the teachers and the preachers were there. They enjoyed them selves hugely and marvelled much at the wonderful works of the Creator and the wonderful sntics of some of his creatures. And they were not stricken as to their coneciences.
 Barnum was Untversalist and believed in the salvation of all. He also believed that 1t would do all good to stop for an hour or two while on their way to heaven at his Great Moral Show. Before he died he succeeded in impressing this belief on millions of the people of this country and England, and his soul seems to be still marching on

Renewed Life for the Sunbonnet.
 There Is no intermediate degree with the summer girl of 1894 between the severity of tailormades and the great elaboration of other dresses. She who runs to dainty trimmings uses them very freely, going right to the opposite extreme from her tailor sister. In her headwesr she will seek for the picturesque. Sunbonnets are one of her fsncies of the moment. Her model will be an ideal one, of course, of sheer muslin and fine lace, the sticks will be shesthed In silk, will show through the muslin, and the bonnet will tie un- der her round chin with bewitchipg bow.

KOLB FOR CONGRESS.

Birmingham, Ala, August 3D.
When the State Executive Com
mittees Of the Kolbites, Populists
and Republicans met here Tuesday
and made out a slate Of Congress
ional nominees to be named at their
district conventions next week,
they left the Seventh District with
out candidate 1t was at first
thought that they intended to sup
port Congressman benson, because
of his free silver views, but today it
was learned that they are quietly
arranging to nominate Reuben Y.
Kolb in that district, though he
does not reside in it. At the state
election every county in the Seventh
went for Kolb and his friends, who
do not deny he is a candidate, feel
confident he can be elected to Con-
gress. This indicates that Kolbs
friends have abandoned all hope of
making him Governor or Sena-
tor.
