.STTERE STORM ON SAND
It Sweeps Through Oklahoma and
Portions of Kansas,
FLEEING TO CYCLONE CELLARS

At Guthrie, o. T., the People Feared That
a Twister Was Upon Them, and Took
Refuge in Their Caves-Crops Suffering
from Drought.
KANSAS CITY, May 11.-One Of the worst
sand and dust storms ever known pre-
vailed in Oklahoma and several points in
Kansas yesterday. At Pittsburg, Kan,
comparatively no outdoor work could be
accomplished. A dust storm blew nearly
the entire afternoon, taking everything
In its path. The ground is baked, and all
crops are suffering for want of rain Here,
as at most points throughout Kansas,
Thursdays heated spell was followed by a
drop in temperature of nearly 20 degs.
At Guthrie, o. T., terrific wind storm
from the north struck the town yesterday
afternoon and the temperature fell rap
idly. The air suddenly became dark with
dust and sand, and for a time the people
sought their cyclone cellars in fear of a
twister. Ten miles northeast of Guthrie
the storm did partake of Cyclone, and
much damage was done, though as far as
can be learned nobody was injured.
At Kingasher, o. T., sand storm of
great vehemence ragged from / o'clock in
the afternoon until late last evening The
forenoon had been intensely hot. Shortly
after IL norther came up with remark
able suddenness, driving things before it
with fearful velocity. For five hours the
storm kept up with unabated fury, the
temperature during that time falling 81
degs. The sand carried before the storm
drifted like snow, while the dust and de-
bris caught up made the atmosphere impen-
etrable and pedestrianism extremely dan
gerous.
1t is believed nobody in this vicinity was
hurt, though worse reports are likely to
come from the country towns which it is
known must have been struck by the
storm. The town of Hennessy was also
struck, but the extent of the damage suf-
fered there is not known.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va, May IL. The

and have men at all the eastern points Of

twenty-five more of the Virginia miners
joined the union last evening. They now
have 6S5 out of the 700 men in Pocahontas.
The strikers have employed counsel to adj
wise them as to their rights.

Fifty Mile Cycling Record Broken.

PUEBLO, Colo, May Ill. c. Wahl, of
Colorado Springs, member of the Cen
tury Road club, broke the worlds fifty
mile road bicycle record, riding from a
point four miles north of Colorado Springs
to this oity in two hours and fifteen min
utes. The wind favored him. He was
obliged to ford Fountain river, a stream
100 feet wide. The first four miles were
ridden in eight minutes. No pacemakeI
accompanied him. The previous Amerl-
can record for fifty miles, held by KEN,
bier, of Asbury Park, is two hours and
thirty minutes.

The Methods of a Century Ago viii be Sup.
erseded by the Introduction of NJ odern In
vsntions-A Great Opening for American
Manufacturers of Cotton Machinery.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Large oppor
tunities for the introduction of American
machinery and the Investment of Ameri-
can capital are offered by the peace agree
ment Japan has just effected with China.
A provision is made that China shall here
after be open to the Introduction of all
forms of modern maehinery and that
such machinery shall be admitted free of
duty. American cotton machinery should
benefit specially from the new opening
presented, and also telephones, electric
lights, printing presses, and many other
devices of civilization which heretofore
have been kept out of China.
The emperor of China has heretofore
prohibited the Introduction of modern
machinery. AS result the Chinese arc
using wooden plows similar to those used
centuries ago. Modern tools are included
under the head of machinery and mechan.
ical devices, so that the American plows
and all other implements and tools will
enter China free of duty
1t is stated that cotton machinery will
be brought at once into extensive use, thus
enlarging the demand for the raw cotton
Of the southern states. The Chinese use
so much cotton that the emperor granted
a monopoly of using cotton machinery to
the viceroy of the southern provinces of
China. He has since produced large guam
Titles, and has prevented the British and
Americans at Shanghai and elsewhere
from using similar machinery. Now, how
ever, the viceroy's monopoly is at an end.
and American machinery is expected to be
freely introduced throughout the empire.
1t is said this freedom of Introduction Of
machinery will put an end to the specu-
lative schemes started in the United States
to operate Chinese concessions. These have
been organized on the basis of monopolies
granted by the emperor Of China for the
operation of telegraph, telephone, railway
lines, etc. Now however the arrange
ment made by Japan opens China to all
these inventions, without the necessity OF
securing the emperor's consent, and with
out any restrictions as to monopoly, The
privileges secured by Japan are enjoyed
by the world at large, as the favored ma
tion clause compels China to give other
countries the same favors extended to
Japan.

May Not Reduce the Mining Scale.

BRAZIL, Ind, May 1.-THE first break
in tho ranks of the bituminous coal oper-
ators of Indiana, who have been holding
out for a reduction in the mining scale,
occurred yesterday, when Joseph Somers,
the Staunton operator, drew out of the
Operators association and threw his
mine open, giving employment to 250
idle miners. He settled with his men at
the old price, and says he has contracts on
hand that will run his mine steadily for
one year and justify him in paying the
old price. Other operators have mani
tested determination to cut loose from
the association, and a general stampede
would not be surprise.

WINNIPEG, May lit is said that Pre-

rumor is that the recent letter from Lord
