CLEvELAND'S LETTER
To Gov. Stone of Mississippi, on the Money
Question.

To Gov stone of Mississippi, on the Money
Question.
JACKSON, Miss, May Gov. Stone
made public letter which he had just
received from President Cleveland, in
which he commends the governors at
titude on the currency question, and
says:
'If we, who profess fealty to the
democratic party, are sincere in our
devotion to its principles, and If we
are right in believing that the
ascendency of those principles is
guarantee of personal liberty,
universal care for the rights of all,
nonsectional, American brotherhood
and manly trust in American citizen
ship in any part of our land, we should
study the effects upon our party and,
consequently, upon our country of a
committal of the national democracy
to the debased silver standard. If
there are democrats who suppose that
our party can stand on platform en-
bodying such doctrines, either through
it's affirmative strength or through the
perplexities of our opponents on the
same proposition, or if there are demo-
Gratis who are willing to turn their
backs upon their party associations in
the hope that free silver can win a
victory without the aid of either par.
ty organization they should de.
ceive themselves no longer nor refuse
to face the results that will follow the
defeat if not the disintegration of
the democratic party on the is
sue which tempts them from
their allegiance. If we should
be forced away from our traditional
doctrines of sound and safe money,
our old antagonists will take the
field on the platform which we
abandon and neither the votes
of reckless democrats nor reck
less republicans will avail tc
stay their easy march to power
This is as plain as anything can posi-.
bly, be. 1t, therefore, becomes the
duty of every democrat, whoever he
may be, to consider what such victory
would mean, and in the light of 9
proper conception of its results he
should deliberately shape his course. ,

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Mr. Justice
Jackson. of the supreme court of the
United States, arrived in Washington
Sunday morning from his home, Belle
meade, Tenn, to hear the reargument
of the income tax. The justice looks
we'll, although he has lost considerable
in weight since he left Washington last
winter.
During the afternoon and evening
Chief Justice Fuller and several other
members of the court called upon Jus.
tice jackson to express their pleasure
at his return. In the course of their
conversation the programme of the in
come tax rehearing was outlined to
Justice jackson. The whole case will
be gone into and the rehearing will in
clude the constitutionality of the tax
on rents and state and municipal
bonds, as well as upon all other points
on which the court divided equally on
April 8.
After the argument has been con-
cluded Justice jackson will join in the
conference as to the decision of the
court on the determination of this
question, and will then return to
Nashville.
He expects to be in Washington only
about week. and probably less. From
this fact, although, of course, there
has been no expression of opinion
given by him on the subject. it has
been inferred that the rearg ument of
the case will result in no variation Of
the decree rendered by the court last
month.
The argument, as stated in the order
of the court, will be confined to two
counsel on each side, but no limita-
tion of time will be fixed. This makes
it probable that it will not be conclud-
ed before Tuesday afternoon or We'd
nesday. For the opponents Of the
law, Messrs w. D. Guthrie and Joseph
Choate will again appear, and the
constitutionality of the law will be
affirmed by Atty Gen. Olney and Asst.
Atty. Gen. Whitney.

Filled to Overlooking With Political Pris-
oners--A Dying Soldier Put to Death.
KEY WEST, Fla, May lowing to
the strict quarantine put in operation
on May /, less than hundred passen-
gers arrived on the steamer from Hav-
ana Thursday night.
This restriction will tend to dimin-
ish passenger traffic through the sum-
mer, as only acclimated persons are
allowed to come here from Cuba.
The news received was varied in
character, all, however, indicating that
the revolution is spreading through
the island and is assuming such pro-
portions as to cause anxiety to the
Spanish authorities.
Memorials presented to Gen. Cam
pos asking for an investigation why SO
large number of persons continue
to be kept in jails merely on suspicion
of being friendly to the insurgent
cause, have resulted in orders being
issued that all political prisoners in
carcerated throughout the island be
given speedy hearings.
Many of them, as also a lot of de-
serters from. the Spanish ranks, eX-
pressed desire to perform military
duty, asking to be sent to the front.
Knowing the fate awaiting him,
Lieut.. Gallego attempted to commit
suicide while aboard the steamer, in
fiicting four wounds with pepknife
in his breast and neck.
He also tried to hang himself in his
stateroom.
He was so weak from loss of blood
that he had to be carried ashore in a
litter.
A medical examination showed his
self-inficted wounds to be mortal, and
the authorities. fearing he would die
before the death sentence could be ex-
ecuted, he, with his four companions,
was shot Thursday at Moro Castle.

LONDON May 4.-The Globe, in an ed

shows a disposition to interfere in dis

Damages Iowa villages-Nearly One Hun.
ired Persons Killed.


Sioux CITY, Ia, May 4.-Sioux coun.
ty was devastated by terrific tornado
Friday afternoon. The storm came
from the northwest, and struck Sioux
Center, small town forty-five miles
north of this point, at o'clock. Three
schoolhouses and at least twenty resi-.
dences and barns near that place were
swept away At the schools two teach
ers and three pupils were killed and
many injured. Two women were
found dead about 6 o'clock not far from
the point where one of the school
buildings stood.
One man who arrived in Sioux Center
late in the evening reported that his
house was blown away and his family
killed. He himself escaped, and says
that at least hundred people must
have been killed. Parties have been
sent from Sioux Center and Orange
City, neighboring towns, but their
work is carried on in total darkness and
in the midst of tremendous wind and
rainstorm. 1t is, consequently, pro-
crossing slowly. A number of bodies
have already been recovered, although
the exact number can not be learned.
Every one is violently excited, and
definite accounts can not be obtained.
1t is said that Perkins, small town
between Sioux Center and Doom, was
directly in the path of the storm, and
was almost entirely wiped out.
Later reports say that ten were
killed at Doom and three at Perkins.
Thirteen dead have been brought into
Sioux Center.
The tornado Jumped As miles north
west to Sibley, Osceola county. Five
are reported killed there.
Late Friday evening news was re-
ceived from Sibley to the effect that a
storm struck there at 5 p. m, destroy.
ing the house of John Watterson, kill.
ing Mrs. Watterson and injuring Wat.
terson and his son. No names can yet
be learned of the people injured about
Sioux Center and Perkins.
The Sioux City & Northern train
which arrived at 10 o'clock Friday
evening brought several passengers
who witnessed the storm. They re-
ported that thirteen dead had been
brought in at 6 p. m. 1t is estimated
that fifty people must have been
killed. The Northern train barely es
capped a smashup in a washout near
Doom, but was stopped by section men
before it passed upon the dangerous
territory.
AS nearly as can be learned the
towns which suffered were Perkins
Sibley, Doom, Hull and Sioux Center
Sioux Center and Hull were grazed
only by the edge of the storm, and nc
fatalities are reported from either o.
them. The number killed at Door
is now stated at ten. Four or five will
probably cover the deaths at Sibley.
At. Perkins the loss of life is said tc
have been very large, probably not les!
than thirty or forty. This, with the
number killed on farms about the
country, must bring the number up t.
nearly seventy-five or one hundred.
1t was difficult to determine Frida,
night what the loss to property will
amount to. but from all accounts i
must be enormous.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Friday is the
last day on which the United States
supreme court will call the docket for

place until toward the latter part Of
the month. The exact time of adjourn

Of prolonging the session to a
somewhat greater extent than usual.
1t has not yet been determined
what time shall be given to the
