Not Streyvn with Debris-Build-
ings Suffer Greatly.

OMAHA, May IA special to the
Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says:
Lincoln was struck at 4:45 by tor
nado, which ragged with unabated vio-
lence for twenty-five minutes. During
this period rain fell as from a cloud
burst, accompanied by hail. The pre-
vailing drift of the wind was from the
southwest. but sometimes it seemed to
form in eddies between the business
blocks and was accompanied by cy-
clonic features. Buildings were I'M
rooted and torn down, cornices swept
from roofs into the streets, and the
residence portion of the city nearly
denuded of trees. The greatest dam
age was at the state hospital for the
insane, where many of the larger build
ings were unroofed. The damage will
be very heavy. The inmates were
excited, but the guards averted trouble
The
DAMAGE IN THE CITY

it may be much heavier, as the subur-
ban districts are YET cut off from COM
munication. The injured are:
j. L. Workman, head cut by flying
debris.
A. L. Woody in collapsed building.
Mrs. j. B. Abbott, caught beneath d
horse.
Henry Meyer.
j. II. Thorpe.
There were no fatalities though the
injured were severely hurt. AT the
state asylum iron supports weighing 300
pounds were blown several hundred
yards.

the House.
Attempt to Tack on the Bowman
Claims Defeated on a Point
of Order.
House RevOkes Leaves of All.
sence-Bill to Investigate
Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The new de-
fciency bill, framed to meet the objec-
tions Of the presidents recent veto, was
taken up as soon as the senate met.
Before proceeding with it further con-
ference was ordered On the Indian and
District Of Columbia appropriation bills.
The activity and confusion on the floor
of the senate while minor measures
were hurried through their final stages
indicated the near approach Of an ad-
journment. The large attendance of
the senators overcame the fears that
had been entertained that the senate
would be left without a quorum.
The Amendment Out of Order.
When the deficiency bill had been
read, Mr.. Harris Dem, Tenn offered
an amendment covering the claims un-
der the Bowman act, which had been
omitted in the house bill, although there
was no specific objection to them in the
veto message. Mr.. Harris said that in
the former bill, the Bowman claims
were coupled with the French spoliation
claims. He had never examined the
spoliation claims and felt no interest in
them, but these Bowman act claims
amounting to about $500 900, had been
subjected. he said, to judicial scrutiny
and should be paid as much Is any obli-
cations incurred by the government.
After further debate the vice president
submitted to the senate a point of order
apoipSt tho ~mopdmap and IL WAS voted
to be out of order.
The senate then passed the bill as it
came from the house.

While republican states were rolling
up solid delegations for Mckinley and
protection, and the eastern states were
whooping up the gold standard, some
western states were giving doubtful
echoes in the same line, and it looked as
if the gold wash on the eastern coast
would become a great tide that would
sweep westward over the entire contin-
emit. Such is the power OF sentiment
and the influence Of political excitement
over weak reason and eager ambition.
But the tidal wave has receded and a

gold press is not nearly 80 belllgerent as
it was and it is beginning to doubt
whether, after all that has been said and
