ELEVEN DEAD.
The Kansas Storm Was the Worst
the State Has Known.

The Kansas Storm Was the Worst
the State Has Known.
CONCORDIA. Kan, April 27.-The cyclone
which swept through this section of the
state last evening was probably the most
severe that Kansas has ever experienced. Its
path was about 400 feet wide, and extended
fully twenty miles. 1t formed about o'clock
Saturday evening, near the little town of ST.
Joseph, In the eastern part of Clay county,
and passed in northeasterly direction
through the northern part of Clay and prob
ably into the northern part of Washington
county. Fortunately it struck no towns, but
its course was through thickIy settled por-
ton of the Republican valley. The first vic
tins of the storm were Eli Belthazer and
wife. The six children were all more or less
seriously injured, and it is thought two Of
them will die. About mile further east. the
home OF Julian Trembly was DESTROYED and
he was killed. The greatest damage was done
south OF Clifton. Two farmers, E. B. Peter
son and j. S. Haynes, were killed, and a num-
Der OF others, whose names could not be
learned. At one place woman and child
were killed and at another a fiye-year-oId
boy. The body Of the latter has not vet
been found Several people are reported to
be seriously injured south of Palmer, and
some of them fatally The number of killed
and who have died from their wounds was
last evening reported to be eleven, but the
list will doubtless be increased by another
twenty-four hours. Over twenty-five per-
sons were said to have sustained serious in
juries. Over twenty families were rendered
homeless by the storm. The suffering of those
injured was rendered great by the severe
hail and rain that closely followed the
cyclone.

SWING BACK TO FREEDOM.

A cable dispatch from New South
Wales briefly announces the death of
Sir Henry Parkes, for many years the
premier of the colony and the leader
OF the Free Trade party in its contests
with the protectionists. His death fol-
lows the triumphant return of his par
ty to power, and the announcement
contained in the dispatches last week
Of the free trade policy Of the present
premier, with the substitution Of
land and income tax for taxes on i'm
ports. Sir Henry lived to see his pol
Icy re-established and confirmed by the
experience the colony had under the
protective policy of the Tory element,
there, as everywhere, staunch protec-
t1onists. There Is a marked contrast
in the manner in which the Republican
press Of this country treat the an
nouncement Of the return Of the free
traders from THAT in which it
welcomed the success Of the pro-
tectionists under Mr.. Diggs a
few years ago. That was her.
aided from one end Of the land to
the other as proof that the American"
system was being recognized the world
over as the only true one, and that so
convincing were its benefits that even
New South Wales, following closely
the mother country in it's fiscal policy,
had deserted free trade and taken on
the American plan. Their present 81
lence is depressing.
The course Of events in that colony
is not without interest here, where the
same contest is still on. Affected, prob
ably, by close association with the
neighboring colony Of Victoria, which
has always been dominated by the To-
ries, the protectionists grew in strength
until the election Of 1889 placed the
control on nearly even balance.
Later came the financial revulsion,
with its accompaniment Of liquidation
and hard times, and the protectionists
there, as they later did here, charged
the conditions to the free trade policy
Of Sir Henrys and his party. There
as here the Adul1amites found listen
ers, and in the elections following they
swept the country. There was. a sharp
plunge into McKinleyism. Tariffs were
laid to foster" and protect" to zen
courage" and build up" and all those
other platitudes with which we here
are so familiar. Trade was demoralized,
prices advanced in the protected lines,
wages remained stationary, prosperity
fingered in her coming, labor troubles
rose thickly, and conditions made bad
by the panic remained bad or grew
worse. Heartily sick Of the results of
their little journey into protectionism,
the voters finally rejected the policy,
returned a parliament with a heavy
majority Of free traders, Sir Henry
Parkes again became premier, and the
colony swung back once more to COM
mercial freedom.

AS OTHERS SEE HIM.

We trust that the patting on the back
which Mr.. G. H. Lienau, of Die Volks-
zeitung, is receiving from the gentle
hands of the Republicans, who have
dirty work for him to do, will be a
sufficient compensation to him for the
unpleasant notice that he is getting
at the hands Of other people, who
know him quite as well, but have no
stables for him to clean at present. It
is not necessary for us to say anything
about Mr.. Lienaus standing or polit-
1cal influence in this community. The
claim that he represents, or has any
control over the German vote of St
Paul is so preposterous on the face of
it as to be an insult to a most worthy
and Independent class of citizens and
voters. Mr.. Lienaus persistent appe-
tite for office heretofore, and his readi-
ness to make political considerations
bend to personal ambition, is a suffi-
cient explanation of anything that he
might do, and would remove the shock
Of surprise from any somersault that
he might execute.
This is not our verdict alone The
people are on to him. We quote at
random from few comments of the
state exchanges on the declaration of
Die Volkszeitung in favor of Mr.. Do
ran. The New Ulm News says: s'When
we recall the political history of c. H.
Lienau we are inclined to congratulate
the Democrats of ST. Paul and Ramsey
county that they have gotten rid of
notorious barnacle, who ought to be
more at home in the Republican par
ty." The st. Peter Herald takes a shy
at Mr.. Lienau, and says: HE was a
candidate for several federal offices un-
der the present administration, and,
falling to secure them, says that he is
disgusted with the Democracy. The
feeling seems to be mutual, as the To-
cal Democracy has been quite disgust
ed with Mr.. Lienau.'' The Saltwater
Gazette notes the declara tien of Die
Volkszeitung in Mr.. Derans favor.
says that it presumes the Demo-
oerats will now declare that the Re-

When important measures were to be consid
ereo 1t is apparent. Under the circum-
stances, continued Mr.. Chamberlain. the gov
ernment was reluctantly withdrawing its In
Vltauon, and had asked Sir Hercules Robin
son, the governor of Cape Colony, to send Sir
Graham Bower, the imperial secretary at
latter might receive instructions regarding
1urtner negotiations. In conclusion Mr.
chamberlain said that the government honed
10 lay the correspondence on the subject ON
the table In the course of the week. He
could not, however. he said, furnish any fur
tner information at present.
The chancellor of the exchequer. Sir Michael
H1cKs-Beach, answering question. said the
government was not prepared to remedy the
discrimination against American life tpsur-
ance companies, in respect to the income tax
which, he added, was based upon act Of
parliament. The difference in treatment he
explained, was due to the fact that the Eng
l1sh companies pay an income tax on their
investments, and that foreign companies do
not.
George N. Curzon, replying to a question
regarding the alleged Russo-Chinese secret
treaty, said that the government had been
informed by M. De Staal, the Russian am
bassador at London, that there was not the
slightest foundation for the newspaper state
ments regarding the existence of such a
treaty.
The house by vote of 266 to 124 adopted the
motion Of Arthur Balfour to devote the re-
mainder of the present session of parliament
exclusively to the consideration of the busi-
ness OF the government programme.

SATAN REBUKING SIN.

Amusement struggles with nausea
at the spectacle of the Pioneer Press
SIMULTANEOUSLY expressing its horror
at the publishing Of cartoons which
convey ideas denounced by it in one
line as false and admitted true in the
next. In the department Of cartoon
libel. as in so many others, the morn
ing Republican organ is the Oldest,
most conspicuous and most impudent
offender. There has scarcely been an
issue of it since this campaign began
that was not blazoned on its front page
to the world as a pictured falsehood.
We call to mind a particularly gross
offense a few days ago. Mr.. Cullen
was represented upon a platform ad-
dressing the public, while behind him
there loomed a shadow labeled ''the
gang" and drawn to some grotesque
resemblance Of Mr.. R. T. O'Connor.
There is not man in the Pioneer
Press office who did not and does not
know that this was the most cowardly
as well as the "meanest form of false
hood" "Dick" O'Connor, though not
engaged in this contest, Is as SUI
perior morally as he Is in mental
resources to the pitiful libelers who
are running the Republican campaign;
and the same may be said Of all the
persons whom 1t has pleased swill-
hunters of the Oar Reese stripe to call
'the gang" But the Pioneer Press
knows as well as it knows light from
darkness that Mr.. Cullen owes nothing
to any politician, that none controls
or ever will control him, and that the
force behind him is the aspiration Of
our people for good government and
freedom from all machines, of what
ever party manufacture. It was, there
fore, a particularly unnecessary and
indefensible lie to pollute its page with
an assertion in black and white lines
Which its own types, in speaking of
Mr.. Cullen, denied. In it's contrast Of
persistent, flagitious, daily mendacity,
for the mere love of untruth with an
occasional vague mental perception Of
the beauties of a veracity forever un-
realized and stranger to 1t, the Pio-
neer Press could furnish the kineto-
scope with a life-like presentation Of
Satan Rebuking Sin."

REV. MIR. KNAPP RELEASED,
But MIR. Riddle Had to Telegraph for
q Warship First.

CoNSTANT1NOPLE,A April 27.-Rev George
T. Knapp, the American missionary who
was expelled from Biltis by the Turkish au-
thorities, without trial. on the charge of hav-
ing melted Armenians to rebel against Turk
ish rule, was surrendered to the United States
consul at Alexandria Saturday last. Details
OF the affair, which reached here today, show
that the step was not taken until a United
States war ship had been telegraphed for
This action on the part Of Mr.. Riddle had
decided effect upon the porte, for the latter
no sooner became aware that the Marblehead
had been telegraphed for than orders were
sent to Alexandria for the release of Mr..
Knapp. The American missionary is now free
and will come to this city and offer to have his
conduct at Bitlis investigated. Those who are
in a position to konw the facts of the case as
sert that the charges against Mr.. Knapp are
groundless, and that the latter's expulsion
was only an experiment which, If allowed to
have passed without protest. would probably
have resulted eventually in the expulsion Of
all Protestant and Catholic missionaries In
Asatic Turkey.

feet foremost into this campaign. AS
to the Stating of Mr.. Harris, who Is
not a member of the A. P. A., for
chief of detectives, we are inclined to
confess ourselves in error. What
ever may have been the original inten-
tion Of the Doran machine, 1t seems in
evitable now that Mr.. Richard w.
Bell should be its candidate for chief
Of police. with the right, Of course, to
name all his subordinates. AS this is
understood to be the sole reason for
existence of the odorous Scannell rem
nant, and as Scannell is now an ad-
junct Of the Republicans campaign, we
make this correction in the interest Of
fairness. 1t is a very pretty combi-
nation that is backing the Republican
ticket, and we do not wonder that
the Pioneer Press, in memory Of bet
ter days, Is restive to the point Of
Righteousness at finding itself in this
free company"

Lienau, the st. Paul editor. is now a Re-
publican. He was candidate for several
federal Offices under the present administra-
ton, and falling to secure them, says that he
is disgusted with the local Democracy"
The feeling seems to be mutual as the
local Democracy have been quite disgusted
with Mr.. Lienau.-St. Peter Herald.
We were at first little surprised that a
man who received so much from the Demo-
cratic party for many years, and who got
his financial start through holding an Office
given him by the Democrats Of st. Paul,
should manifest SO much fngratitude, and
yet, when we recall the political history of
G. H. Lienau, we are inclined to congratu-
late the Democrats of st. Paul and Ramsey
county that they have gotten rid of noto-
rious barnacle, who ought to be more at
home in the Republican party.-New Ulm

PARIS, April 27.-President Faure sum-
moned M. Meine this morning, and asked him
to form cabinet. In event Of the failure of
M. Meline to do SO, 1t Is believed that NJ
Dupuy or M De Freycinet will be entrusted
with the task. M. Meline 1t was announced
later in the day, informed President Faure
that he would give him a reply tomorrow
morning. M. Hanotoux is not disposed to ac-
cept the portfolio of minister of foreign af-

M. Meline will ask Baron de Courcell the
French ambassador at London, to accept this
post and if the latter accepts M. Hanotaux
will replace Baron de Courcelle at London.
M. Meline, in pursuance of his efforts to
form cabinet, has conferred with Gen. Bill
