THE CONVENTION HALL.
Some Speculation ms to the Effect
the st. Louis Disaster.

Some Speculation ms to the Effect of
the st. Louis Disaster.
The reports Of the great disaster at st.
Louis raises the question Of whether the
holding of the convention there will be
interfered with.
Chairman Carter Of the republican ma
tonal committee said this morning that he
had received no information except
through the press associations From
these reports he judged that the injury
to the new convention hall had not been
such as to make 1t necessary for the con-
vention to go elsewhere
AS he understood the building had been
penetrated by flying timbers, the roof had
been partly removed, and the interior had
been disarranged, but, all told, the damages
could be repaired in two days. AS to the
suggestion that the great losses might rem
der 1t difficult to collect the fund subscrib-
ed by citizens for the expenses of the con-
vention, he said he did not anticipate any
trouble of that sort. The ST. Louis men in
Congress concur in the opinion that the
meeting of the convention will not be in
terfered with. In the absence of dptails.
however, nothing Is certain.

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, May 2S-The Tut

last night. In one room upstairs lay VIM

the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
He runs on the Baltimore and Ohio South
western, and was to have taken out the
fast mail train on that road this morning,
He was in a barber shop at Sd street and
Missouri avenue when the storm came up
The building was completely wrecked, and
the half-dozen people inside buried out of
sight. Mr. Cogan worked his way out
without assistance and did not think he
had been seriously injured. Last night he
suffered intensely from pains in his back

One room at the futile House was occu-
pied by three young ladies. Maggie Her
bert of Washington, Ind, had a broken
arm.
Il was in the dining room of the fremont
House when the storm occurred" she said
"A portion of the room blew off, and half a
dozen OF US ran to get out of the way Of
iElns boards and bricks. We ran into the
Kitchen and back into the dining room and
finally the whole house fell in. Mrs. Havs

MEASURES OF RELIEF.
Army Engineers Ordered to Render
Any Possible Aid

Anxious inquiries have been pouring into
the War Department from western people
in Washington, including Vice President
Stevenson, as to what measure of relief
could be extended by the department to-
ward the sufferers from the cyclone at ST.
Louis. The department was disposed to
do all in its power to help the stricken
localities, but being without any official re-
ports of the disaster, owing perhaps to the
absorption of all Geographic facilities by
the press, 1t was at a loss to know what
was necessary to be done
However, 10 evidence the disposition of
the department to act in the matter with
OUT delay telegram was prepared by Gen.
Craishill chief of engineers, and sent 20 the
three representatives of the engineer CORPS
nearest TO the scene of the disaster name
ly, to Col. w. Il. King. at Rock Island, AS
sistant Engineer S. H. Younge, at Usage
Clty, and s.. w. Fox. at Chamois. The
telegram read as follows:
In the matter of the recent destructlye
storm at St. Louis and other points. the
assistant secretary Of war directs that all
possible aid be given by the use Of any
available government boats"
None of these boats are at st, Iouis inst
now, so far as Is known, and it Is expected
that the officers addressed will use their
discretion In the movements Of those In
their vicinity so to make them of as
much service as possible In affording shell
ter, transporting supplies, etc
Up to late hour this afternoon no word
OF any kind had been received at the War
or other executive departments from the
districts visited by the tornado. Repre-
sentatives Bartholdt and Hubbard of Mis-
souri, were at the War Department to Sc
cure the cooperation Of the military au-
thorities IN measures for the relief of the
people rendered homeless and HELPLESS.
Tents and rations will be supplied in case
they are needed, bat it is believed that ST.
Louis and the other places affected are
