FREMONT. o., April 20.-A tornado, ac-
companied by a heavy RAINFALL swept over
the northwestern part of Sandusky county
about 8 o'clock this afternoon, killing two
persons, injuring a number of others and
doing great damage to buildings and other
property.
The tornado came from the southwest
with great fury and every building and
tree in it's path was swept away. After
smashing a road bridge and blowing a
big tree across a Wheeling & Lake Erie
freight train, which crushed the caboose
and came near killing a number of train
men, the wind began to play havoc with
farm buildings. The barns of Jacob Eng
Ter. J. E. Heffinger, Upton Burgon and
Anthony Swift first went down before
it. Then the house of James Greene was
destroyed. Greene's aged father, William
l.. Greene, was killed outright, his wife
fatally hurt, and the baby carried across
the road in it's cradle. The child escaped
uninjured. Next the barn of Amos Har-
rick, in which Harrick and John Low
were shearing sheep, was crushed. Low
was blown across a field and hit by a
tree, being instantly killed. Other build
ings destroyed were the barns of William
Hensel, Perry Parish, George Waggoner
and Charles Tucker. fuckers child was
badly hurt.
AT Booktowr, hamlet near here, near
ly all the buildings were destroyed, but
there was no loss of life. The storm
covered a wide track and it is possible
that further damage will be reported.

A. p. A. and Mckinley.

CINCINNATI, April 20.-Since last
Thursday there has been here a secret
national meeting of the supreme officers
and national executive board of the A P.
a. The purpose is confessedly hostile to
Mckinley for president. Secrecy will be
removed in day or two.
Judge H. D. Stevens, of st. Louis, chair
man of the national advisory committee
and chairman of the propaganda and cam
paign committee, issued circular today
to correct some ''misstatements in the
press" the substance of which is:
First-The hostility of the order to Nc
Kinley is not against him as a man, but
his antipathy to the order shown in his
appoint ent while governor.
Second-The order does not oppose Nc
Kinley in the personal interest of any
other candidate; it fights no man because
of his religion.
Third-The order made every effort con-
sistent with manhood to reach Mckinley
without success.
Fourth-Congressm Grosvenors de-
NAL that he refused to see the A. P A
committee and that he virtually insulted
it is untrue.
Fifth-All statements of Congressman
Unions withdrawal from the candidacy
at st. Louis are unauthorized, and they
were sent out by enemies of the A P. A.,
to defeat it's aim.

FOR UTAH.
SENATE COMMITTEE MAKES A
FAVORABLE REPORT.
Believes Salt Lake Should Be Given
Public Building Costing Half a
Million, and Ogden One in Pro-
pOrtiOn-The Outlook Bright.
Especial to The HeraldA

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The SEN
ate committee on public buildings and
grounds today reported favorably on
public buildings for Salt Lake and
Ogden. The report is as follows:
Salt Lake City is the capital of Utah
and the center of all the commercial
and business transactions for the en-
tire state. 1t is rapidly growing city,
now containing between fifty and sixty
thousand inhabitants. The courts of
the United States are held there. There
is the land Office. the Office of the sur
veyor general, the Office of the deputy
/ collector of Internal revenue. For
accommodation of these several United
States officers a building is impera-
lively needed. Such a building should
compare with those in other capitals
according to size. The reports from
the postmaster show a rapid increase
in the receipts.
'For the year 1885, the gross receipts
were $33,599; for 1895, s119, 1866. The
gross receipts for the fiscal year of
1895 from the sale of lands were s49,-
1866. The supervising architect made
a report of the probable expense of
suitable building for Salt Lake, and es-
Inmates the expense at $500 ,O00 of
which $4,000 is to be the cost of the
site. The bin provides for the sum of
100000 to be made available for DUR
chasing a site and for preliminary work
on the building, that being the amount
of the appropriation for the first fiscal
year. The committee recommend the
passage Of the said bill appropriating
100000 for the site, etc, and for the be-
ginning of work on said building, and
that the entire cost of the building be
fixed at 100000
ogden is an active city of 10000 in
habitants. The supervising architect
has filed with the committee a report
quoting reports from the postmaster
there. The gross receipts from the
postoffice department for the year 1885
were S11,143. The gross receipts for
1895 were s21, 1868, showing an active in
crease in the business of the postal de-
partment. There is also an office of
Cities of equal size in other states have
been allowed public buildings and the
committee sees no reason why it should
not be allowed to the city of Ogden.
Both of these cities should and
would have had public buildings long
before this but for the fact that Utah
continued to be territory and not a
state, and the public policy of the
United States has not been to build
United States buildings in territories.
The, admission of the state, however,
necessitates the building of public
buildings in these two most important
towns, and your committee cheerfully
recommends the building of the one at
Ogden. Your committee have so
amended the bill that the entire cost OF
the building and site shall not exceed
$1SS, 900, and, as thus amended, your
committee report the bill favorable,
both as to Salt Lake and Ogden, and
ask that the same be passed.

NORTHERN PACIFIC OFFICERS.
Victory For Ives on the Reorgan-
ization Plan.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 20
Whatever doubt there may have been
as to the intention OF Brayton Ives to
keep faith with the reorganization
commissioners of the Northern Pacific
were dispelled today when answer was
filed to the suit of the Farmers Loan
& Trust company, the foreclosure pro-
ceeding in the United States circuit
court, by Ives, admitting all of the
allegations of the complaint.
The answer filed has the distinction
Of being the briefest document that
has been recorded in the proceedings.
1t reads as follows:
And now comes the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company, defendant
herein, by Silas W. Petit, it's solicitor,
and for answer to the bill of complaint
herein, states that it is advised that
all the allegations contained in the
bill of complaint, and the several
amended and supplemental bills of
complaint of the Farmers Loan &
Trust company. are true, and, there
fore, it admits the same
The filing of the answer and its ma
ture, however, does not portray a de-
feat of Ives, but means a victory, the
terms of which no one will tell. It
develops that the commissioners were
obliged to make terms with Ives, and
that the magnate took every precau-
ton to see that they were carried out
To this end two answers were drawn,
each of an entirely different nature,
and both were ready for filing in the
court at moments notice, and neither
to be filed until permission was given.
From the nature of the answer filed
this morning. there is no doubt that
the terms were complied with. The
second answer, it is understood. con-

RAILWAY LANDS.
Decision Involving the Right of the
State TO Tax.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Justice
Brown delivered the opinion of the
supreme court today in the case of the
Central Pacific Railway company VS..
the state Of Nevada, involving the
right of the state to tax the lands of
the railway company. The case came
to the supreme court from the Nevada
supreme court on writ of error sued
out by the railroad company.
The state courts held that the state
was entitled to levy taxes upon patent
ed lands ard also for lands which had
not been patented, but which had been
surveyed and on which the cost of
surveying had not been paid. Justice
Browns opinion affirms this decision
If" he said, 1.-The railroads had a
possessory claim to the lands, they are
taxable under the statute of Nevada
Remarking upon the plea that the
land could not be taxed where the
government reserved mineral lands
from the grant, he said:
eff the state has no possessory
claim, because the lands are mineral.
it certainly cannot be injured by a
sale of the lands to pay the tax" He
did not think it possible that the rail-
road company's enormous land grant
should remain untaxed until the char
acter of the land as to minerals could
be determined.
Justice Field dissented on the ground
that the reservation of mineral lands
from the grant made it impossible to
determine what lands could be prop
erly taxed against the railroad com
pany.

to trade between countries that rat1fy
the action of the conference as will
force every country through self in

THIEDE'S CASE.

Question as to Which Court 1t Shall
Go To.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2O.-The
United States supreme court in the
case of the appeal of Charles Thiede,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged, affirmed the judgment of
the supreme count of Utah, which
affirmed the decision of the trial court.
There is a question as to whether the
case should be remanded to the SUI
prene court of the state or to the fed
eral court for the district of Utah, to
carry out the sentence. This question
will be examined by the attorney gen.
eral, and his suggestion in respect
thereto will be adopted by the court.
1t will probably go to the state courts.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. April 20-The
silver men of Alabama are in the saddle
here tonight.
They will control the Democratic state
convention tomorrow and it is apparent
they will place the Democratic party of
this state on 10 to free coinage plat
form.
Joseph T. Johnson of Jefferson county
will be nominated for governor by vote
of $50 to 14S, although this does not rep
resent or approximate the vote that will
be cast on the free silver proposition.
Many of the Johnson delegates are
sound money men who supported Captain
Johnson because of his presumed avail
ability, good capacity and valiant party
service.
There is undoubtedly safe majority
for the 16 to l ratio and unless some
thing unlocked for happens, the plank
will be inserted.
Hon. John H. Bankhead, congressman
from the Fourth district, will preside
over the convention and Hon. E. w. Pet
tus of Dallas will be chairman of the
committee on resolutions.
All of the minor state officers will be
renominated excepting the auditor. treas
urer and commissioner of agriculture,
whose second term expires in December
and whose successors will be named to-
morrow.
