DOM PAUL IS GENEROUS,
The Transvaal Ruler Favors the
Release of Imprisoned
Reformers,
Final Action in the Case of Hammond
and His Companions to B.
Taken To-Day.

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, May H.
In an interview regarding the ultimate
fate of the members of the johannesburg
reform committee, now in jail here, Presi-
dent Kruger said that nobody desired
more than himself to expedite the de-
cision as to the final sentences that would
be passed on the prisoners. A majority
of them had on Friday petitioned the
Government to be allowed to pay increased
fines instead of being imprisoned for two
years and then banished for three years
from the Transvaal. President Kruger
added that he was in favor of this propo-
sition.
The delay in deciding the matter arose
from the difficulty in discriminating be-
tween the signers of the petition and
the others who had refused to sign cit.
Personally he wanted all the prisoners to
be released. He promised that the execu-
tive would take rapid action in the matter
to- morrow, and declared he was confident
that the executive would indorse his view
The President is extremely distressed
because of the suicide of Mr. Grey, who
was one of the prisoners. Great indig-
nation is felt by the English residents
against the district surgeon for not watch
ing him TO prevent his killing himself
after it became known that he was insane.
Five physicians warned the district sur
geon a week ago that Mr.. Grey had de-
veloped homicidal sym ptoms.

joins the festival may eat and drink to his
hearts content without money and with

be supplied, as Russian Mouiiks filled with
vodka are not likely to be conducive to the
peace of the capital.
At present hundreds of workmen are
getting ready for the great popular enter
tainment which will represent the hospi-
tality OF the city. On the side nearest to
the palace the imperial pavilion has been
built, from which the Emperor and his
guests will witness the merrymeking of
his subjects. This pavilion is in Russian
style of the fifteenth century, and has two
stories and is surmounted by an enormous
cupola. The facade is most elaborately
decorated. 1t is fianked by two other
pavilions for distinguished visitors and at
greater distance tribunes capable of seat
ing between 1000 and 5000 persons Lave
been erected.

afternoon 1t came from the southwest,
and was preceded by heavy fall of rain
and hail. The funnel-shaped cloud came
in an opposite direction from the wind
that was prevailing and travelled slowly,
thus giving people ample time to go into
cellars. This warning undoubtedly saved
many lives.
Several farmhouses were destroyed be-
fore the storm reached the city, but as far
as learned at this time no one was hurt.
Nearly fifty resid ences, besides barns and
outbuildings, were totally destroyed in
this city. at least 200 people are home

by flying board. P. Cudmore was hurt
about the head and Mrs. Moran and child
were badly injured.
The Methodist and Christian churches
are total wrecks. Many buildings are
slightly damaged. The storm passed on
the northeast. Its track is about eighty
rods wide. 1t is reported the storm did
great damage near Bigelow and Vleits.
The entire western part of this city

escapes are reported.

HIAWATHA, KANs., May 17.-Word
was received here late tonight that a cy-
clone struck the towns of Reserve and
Falls City about o'clock. The wires to
these points are all down. Six surgeons
and several helpers have gone to Reserve,
where fully ten people are known to be
hurt and dozens of buildings destroyed.
Two farmers on horse back brought the
word from Reserve. They say the damage
is frfghtful.
The cyclone started in the northern part
of Clay County, seven or eight miles
south of the little town of Palmer, and
passed in a northeasterly direction through
Riley County and into Marshall and
Nehma counties. 1t crossed the Blue
River at the junction of the Missouri Pa
ciic and Union Pacific railroads and
passed near the town of Axtell. The little
hamlet OF Bodaville, in Riley County, was
entirely swept away. Tonight several are
reported killed there and many injured,
but nothing can be learned definitely.
At Spring Valley, some six miles from
Barnes, the storm demolished a church in
which $50 people were worshiping. Many
were injured. The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Mason,
suffered broken leg. Surgical aid was
asked for from Barnes and neighboling
towns. The storm formed about o'clock
almost in the track of the one that visited
this section three weeks ago.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE FETE
All Who Attend May Eat and Drink
Without Money and Without

MOSCOW, RUSSIA, May 1.-THE day
has been a beautiful one and al endless
procession has been passing through the
streets since early morning. The city is a
mass of color.
Yesterday there arrived the Khivan
embassy with the Khan and his two sons
at their hean. The Khans suite was q
numerous one. The Emir of Bokhara
with large following, arrived on Wednes-
day last. Prince Henry of Prussia, who
represents Emperor William; the Grand
Duke of Hesse and Prince Ferdinand of
Roumania, accompanied by their suites,
arrived to-day. Infantry guards the lines
of railway right into Moscow. The city is
filled with strange guests, and the whole
world has come, apparently, to grace the
great occasion-the coronation of the Gar.
Immense preparations are being made
for the popular fete, which is to be held on
the Hodynsky Plain on May 80. This

ace and has been the scene of the fetes for
the people that have always marked coro-
nations. Flanked on two sides by the ex-
hibition buildings and the racecourse it
stretches away indefinitely into the coun-
try.
1t was here that Napoleon massed his
troops before marching into the city of
Moscow. Russian troops, drafted here
from the various garrisons for the festiv-
tiles, now occupy large part of the plain,
which resembles vast camp. and the life
incident to an encampment of 10000 SOL
diers is exhibited in all its phases. Stretch
ing away for more than mile are the snow
white tents of the army corps of grena-
diers, the guards from st. Petersburg and
detachments from vari Gus quarters of the
empire.
Not all have yet arrived, but it is
learned that before the Emperor's arrival
there will be in this eacampment, includ-
ing the soldiers on duty at the various pal
aces and fortresses in and about Moscow
eighty-three battalions of infantry, thirty
souadrons of cavalry, seven sotnias OF
Cossacks and fourteen batteries. OF these
vast forces the Grand uke Vladimir holds
the command. 1t is on this plain where
they are now encamped that this mighty
force will parade before the Emperor on
the las: day of the festivities-June Z.
On the part directly facing the palace
the large, grassy plain has been incIosed
by Venetian mast, upon which are hung
the usual bunting and shields, bearing the
arms of various cities and provinces oi

CHARGES AGAINST KICKS.
The Judges Impeachment Again Sought
BY the Washington Reform
HJub

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 1.-THE
Washington Reform Club will forward to
the Department at Washington tomorrow
charges against Judge Augustus J. Ricks
of the United States bench in this city.
This club is the same which brought the
previous case against the Judge, which
nearly resulted in his impeachment.
The present complaint grows out of his
sentencing a postoffice clerk to fine of
$500, when the statute provided $500 as the
minimum. Delehante, the man con-
victed, is connected with prominent fami-
lies, and influence was brought upon the
Judge, who gave the prisoner six mon tbs
to pay his fine in, and ordered the clerks
to keep the case from the newspapers.
