He Opens the Missouri Campaign for
the Republicans
ST. LOUIS, No, Oct. 2.-Whi1e Sena-
tor Vest was opening the Democratic
campaign in Missouri at Kansas City
last night Governor Mckinley, facing
a vociferous crowd in a large hall
here. made the opening address of
the Republican campaign It was
the third state campaign which he
has opened within a week
Hon. Chauncey I. Filley called the
meeting to order, or rather to as
much order as possible, and prese nted
as chairman Hon Charles Parsons,
who amid uproarious cheering. men
toned Governor Mckinley as his
choice for the presidential candidate
in 1896. The cheering of the great
audience became almost cyclonic when
Governor Mckinley arose, and con-
tinued for several minutes With
expression of amazement on his face,
the speaker began with:
Your chairman said that this was
the opening of the Republican cam
paign IN Missouri 1 wonder what its
close will be" and the audience re-
sponded with another Outburst. The
truth is,'' con tinued the governor,
that no hall is large enough for
Repub lican meetings this year 1
was here two years ago, when | adj
dressed a vast cOncOurse of people in
the Exposition hall We were IN
fortunate in that year. and we have
been unfortunate ever since. We do
not always appreciate prosperity in
its fitness until we experience ad-
versity-"
A contrast was made betwe en- the
industrial conditions that existed
under the Repu blican tariff law and
those existing at present The result
of it was charged on Democratic leg
islation, and Governor Mckinley in
quired whether the audience thought
it the business of congress to 1egis-
late for the benefit Of the United
States or for foreign nations
Nobody" said he. has heard Of
any industries being revived in the
United States since the Wilson tariff
law. If any body in this audience
knows of a single one let him name
it. On the other hand they are being
revived in Europe I challenge any
one to point out a single American in
terest benefited by the law of 1894"
While Governor Mckinley spoke in
sido the hall, Hon Charles F. Jov and
Congressman Bartholdt addressed an
overflow meeting of $500 to 3, 600 peo-
pie outside At the conclusion of his
address the governor took lunch at
the residence Of Mr. E. a. Hitch cock
and left on a special train for Kansas

A TORNADO AT WICHITA.
Great Damage wrought BY = Wind Storm

Great Damage wrought by Wind Storm
at That Polnt-Lives Lost
WICHITA. Kan. Oct. 2.-For twenty
years Wichita has felt Easy about
tornadoes on account of an Indian le-
gend, which said none ever visited it
or would visit it.
The legend was discredited last
night when a terrible storm Burst
upon the city. The Twelfth street
depot of the Missouri Pacific road was
the first building struck and it was
completely demolished, the roof
striking a stable two blocks away,
crushing it like an egg shell Twelve
men were in the building at the time,
but strange to say none Of them
were hurt.
The storm passed east about a mile,
accomplishing all of it's destruction in
less than two minutes. About thirty
houses and barns were wrecked, and
probably 500 shade trees were torn up
by the roots and strewn about in all
directions
The path of the tornado was about
fifty feet wide 1t progressed with
fearful roar. and was regular
and two men were reported killed at
police headquar ters, but their names
could not be ascertained- Owing to
the terrible rain which accom- panied
the storm it is impossi BILE to learn the
full extent of their injuries. Light
ming struck a little boy named Fitz-
gibbons and killed him.
Roughly estimated the loss in the
city will be $50, OOO- Reports from
Kechit township say that the storm
played havoc there, but owing to the
continuance OF the rain storm 1t IS
impossible to obtain any details The
storm passed within ten feet of Gov

to express my regret in the senate

to Mr. Wilson to be read in the house,
IN which he denounced the senate

that hostility to the sugar trust should
influence the action of congress
AS matter OF fact. Mr.. Cleveland
stood with the senate on the sugar

Carlisle, secre tary of the treasury,
sent to the senate when the house
bill providing for free sugar was
pending a letter stating that the pas
sage of such a bill would create an
annual deficiency of $40, 000 600"

the message follows:
To J. J. Corbett, Nashua. N H.

1t was in the Olympic club the heavy
weight championship was lost and
won 1t was in the Olympic
club that both you and
Fitzsimmons won your greatest
honors, and it is now within
the province and the duty of the
Olympic club to declare Bob Fitzsim-
world should you persist in refusing
to accept his challenge, which is
backed up by a side bet of $40, 900.
AS far as the Olymp club is con-
cerned, it is immaterial to me with
whom the side bet is placed. We
don't want to hold it. We offer a
SIS, 900 purse, the winner to take all.
Fitzsimmons has complied with every
requirement. If.you will not defend
the title FitzsimmOns will challenge
and meet the best man that can be
found in the world in February, 1895.
