ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May Is. Two hundred
lives snuffed out in this city and as many
more in East st. Louis, property destroyed
in value running up into the millions, is
the record made by the 9th OF May, 1896.
This is n conservative estimate. No pos
sible idea of the number of killed in the
tornado that swept this vicinity yesterday
afternoon can be made at this time.
South st. Louis 10 gigantic cemetery.
Under the debris OF the buildings of that
city are scores of burned, whose bodies
will not be brought to light for many
days, perhaps never.
Ii was the most disastrous storm from
every point of view in the history of the
city. The elements did little damage in
the business and northern portions OF the
city, save along the river front, where
the loss cannot be estimated. Just how
many gave up their lives in the waters of
the Mississippi when the tornado came
down and tore all the boats in the harbor
from their moorings will never be known.
The channel is full of wreckage. In South
st. Louis the storm spent its force.
All the way from Papin street to Caron-
delet il put it's stamp on the face OF the
city that Will not be effaced for years.
Big. strong buildings fell before the wind
like houses made of cards. From where
IL entered the city, out in the southwest
ern suburbs, TO where 1t left, somewhere
near the East bridge, there is Q gap of
ruins. .
Factory after factory went down, and
piles OF bricks and timber mark the spot
on which they stood. Business houses
were fiattened. There was no chance for
the escape OF the occupants. The ruins
covered bruised and mangled bodiesth hat
will not be recovered until systematic
search is made. Thousands OF families in
South st. Louis are practically homeless
and the temporary hospitals shelter
scores and hundreds.
Early in the storm the plant CT the La
cleoe Gas Company at l4th and Poplar
streets was destroyed and large portions
of the central part Of the city were cut
of from its gas supply. This affected
the newspaper offices severely. In The
Repu blic Office no gas could be obtained

over the city. Light 81 Myers big fac
tory at Compton Heights, is ruin and
many were killed and injured in the
wreck. Elevators were blown down, boats
were sunk, and churches and school
houses were demolished.

and 1t was totally destroyed at a loss of

Protest Against Election
Bill Unavailing.
Measure Passed by Both the
House and Senate.
Railroad Bill Also Becomes a Law.
Woman Suffrage Killed.

NEWPORT, May zS.-The principal in
terest last night centered IN the probable
outcome of the bill to change the date of
the Providence city elections and the act
relative to electric cars on the West side
OF the bay. M
In regard to the fret measure there was
a great deal OF uncertainty. The echoes
of the indignation in Providence had
reached the corridors of the Aquidneck
and the indignant memh hers themselves
are expected by boat or train, whichever
comes first.
There was public hearing on the mat
ter late yesterday afternoon. representa-
tives Root and Barstow OF Providence
urged the judiciary committees to re-
commend the passage OF the bill and
their argument was on the score OF econ
omy.
City Solicitor Colwcll opposed it and
argued that the city had not asked Tor
the change.
Secretary OF State Bennett ana Colonel
Hunter {. White, both expressed the
opinion last evening that the bill would
be left alone and not touched again at
this session.
The Providence delegation are supposed
TO be in favor of the bill and Mr.. Barstow
says that in all probability IL will pass.
The bill for an act amending tho rail-
road laws SO that the Union Railroad
Company may operate electric cars on the
tracks of the Consolidated is said to be all
light by those who desire its passage and
1t will probably become law. Several
minor changes have been consented to so
that the opposition is practically with
drawn.
The Senate resolution authorizing the
appointment of oi-partizan commission
10 revise the constitution Is now in the
hands of the House judiciary Committee
and there is considerable talk OF keeping
1t there until the January session.
THE ELECTION BILL ~ Law.
Very soon after the House was called to
order this morning the bill changing-the
date of the municipal election in Pfovi-
dence to the same day az that on which
federal elections are held was reported
back by the committees on judiciary,
with a recommen iation of passage.
Mr.. Kimball Of providence offered an
| amendment providing that the law should
not take effect until il has been accepted
by the City Council of Providence. This
/ amendment was promptly killed by the
House and the original bill as reported
by the committee was passed in spite OF
! the protests OF the Beacon Hill lm rove
ment Society, the Municipal League and
City Solicitor Colvell.
The bill wgs then sent to the Senate, by
which body 1t was promptly passed in
concurrence.
