Saturdays storm was unprecedented, not
only in the amount of rainfall but in the
violence and destruction of the wind. At
Alpena the funnel-shaped clouds developed
in the washington hills and tore their way
northeastward, destroying several farm
buildings and passing on TO the small vii
lage of Virgil, where they demolished half
dozen houses and barns, grain ware
house and other buildings, knocking the in
habitants about and breaking Irving Da-
ley,s leg A tornado struck belmont, In
Douglas county, blowing down a farm
house and several buildings, but injuring no
one. A tornado also passed over the north
ern part of Lake countt, destroying many
farmhouses and barns. and devastating the
country over space of ten miles by two.
At Wentworth still another threw the town
hall twenty feet off its foundation while
many buildings were urroofed.
Another twister destroyed a number Of
barns and small buildings at Alexandria, and
still another tore TO pieces church and
many farm buildings. Near Brdgewater
the rainfall was unprecedented. At Wess-
ington Springs it measured 5.35 and at AL
less than 3. All streams and dry runs are
flowing bank full, and the ground r. soaked
several feet In depth. The small grain
chops throughoutthe state are now as
sured. Lightning killed Charles Gray, a
prominent citizen of White, and struck sew

CALLED BACK TO DUTY.
Heroic Measures to Preserve a Quo
rum in Congress.


Washington, June S-When the house
reconvened at 10 o'clock this morning
in continuation of the legislative day
of Saturday, there were only about
seventy members on the floor, and the
leaders determined to take the neces-
sary steps to secure and keep quorum
in attendance during the remaining
hours of the session.
Mr. Sherman (rep., N. ", chairman
of the committee on Indian affairs, pre-
sented resolution calling on the sec
retary of the interior for information
as to what steps had been taken to pro-
cure settlement of the principal and
interest of certain bonds of the State
of Virginia, the ownership of which
was assumed by the United States. A
part of the Indian funds, $4,000, was
invested in these bonds, and question
has arisen as to whether the liability
for them belonged to Virginia or to the
United States. This gave the vigilant
Mr.. KEN (pop., Neb) his opportunity
to raise the point of no quorum, where
upon a call of the house was decided
upon.
The call developed the presence of 1853
members. IL less than quorum. There
upon the doors were ClOSeQ ana MT.
Dingley, the floor leader of the majority.
offered resolution which was adopted,
revoking all leaves of absence eXcept
on account of sickness and directing
the sargeant-at-arms to telegraph alb
sentees to return forthwith. Mr.. Ding
ley stated that the difficulty in main
tanning a quorum during the last few
days, and the fact that members were
hourly leaving, compelled this action.
At 1880 a. m. quorum appeared.
The Sherman resolution relative to Vir-
ginia bonds was adopted.
A special deficiency bill, providing
for the pay of the salary of members
seated by the house and for Several
other minor matters, was passed un-
der suspension of the rules; also
bill to establish a site for the erection
of penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan.
Senate JOINT resolution ordering sci

fisheries was adopted The senate bill
amending the act for the protection
of the salmon fisheries of Alaska was
passed.

for the payment of the awards of the

damage resulting from and injuries in
f1icted by the explosion of a caisson be-
longing to the Second United States

casioned some debate.
The bill was defeated-S6 to 106.
