Washington, May 2s.-The republican
senators in caucus to-day decided upon
the order of bills on the calendar to be
taken up. There was a general under
standing that nothing should interfere
with the consideration of the conference
reports on the appropriation bills and no
obstacle would be placed in the way of
reaching a vote on the Butler bond bill.
The other bills are to be taken up and
disposed of In the following order: Filled

immigration. s per cent. land bill. labor
commission. election OF senators by the
people, bankruptcy. contempt OF courts.

pany. Alabama investigation. animal In

prevailing opinion i'm the caucus was that
II would be impossible to dispose of more
than the first three measures. The mo-
tion to have the Pacific railroad funding
bill placed fourth on the list. ahead Of
the immigration bill. was defeated and
a definite decision reached not TO attempt
TO take up this bill until the next ses-
sion. On motion of Senator Nelson the
caucus decided not TO accept any amend
ments TO the filled cheese bill.

Of the storm and are being taken to
1mprovised morgues. II will be weeks
before a complete list of those killed
can be made. but the list of dead is
climbing to the 200 mark. Only mere
guesses can be made as to the prop
erty loss on both sides of the river.
In East st. Louis the disaster was
complete, the western section of that
railway town being one vast charnel
house. Only a single dwelling was left
standing on what was called The
Island and 500 families are homeless.
Citizens estimated the dead at fully
200. On the east side, in the wake OF the
tornado. came grave problems, one be-
ing the protection of the city In the
absence of electric lights. The First
Missouri regiment has gone on patrol
service and the police commissioners
will add $50 men to the force. Besides
this all previous calamfties of the kind
seem trivial in cost.
Manfully the business men of st.
Louis have taken up the work of relief.
An earnest meeting on change yester-
day was the beginning. There are
thousands who have lost all and must
be helped. A partial resumption of
street car service has been effected.
The southern division of the Scullin
system is most badly crippled owing
to the destruction of the power house
when cars will be running. A partial
restoration of the electric light service
Is promised in As hours. but IL will be a
couple of weeks before all circuits are
in order. The destruction of poles and
wires along the path OF the storm was
complete.
Inquests on ~ of the slain in East St
Louis have been held by Coroner Waite
and that work continues. A verdict of
shock in each case and injuries acci-
dental was rendered In each case. East
st. Louis has issued a touching appeal
for aid The committee which prepar-
ed the manifesto estimates 200 persons
killed and the injured number thou

Every one agrees that months will fail
to reveal the extent of the tornado

nave been identified, but no one is will

podles may be in the ruins of the hum

injured and the full recovery of the
dead will bring the dead list here up
to 200.
In East st. Louis the city officials de-
ciared this evening that they have
hope that the death roll on that side
of the river will not exceed $50. but
the ruins upon which the rescuers have
not yet begun work may swell the to-
tai far beyond that figure. The esti-
mates upon the property loss have
grown wilder and further apart
Guesses were made to-day all the way
from $2,0O0,000 to $4,000, 900 for ST
