with some gingerly expression that
will not satisfy the free silver people.
Perhaps this platform will be framed
so as to recognize the existing status,
and declare tor change to the double
standard when an international agree
ment to that effect can be reached.
This platform might have given a
temporary satisfaction short while
ago, but il cannot do so now. Nobody
III either party proposes to accept
compromise either on platform or can

in favor of free silver will suit the

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Gonzalo de
Quesada, the Cuban charge de afaires
in this city, has just received word
that Col. Rafael Portuondo has land
ed safely in Cuba. He was accom-
panied by 100 men, among whom

said to have embraced 100000 rife

SIX SQUARE MILES OF RUIN.
Wrecked Houses In St. Louis Would Line
Street Eighty-five Miles Long.

wrecked houses IN St. Louis " outQ Line q
Street Eighty-fve Miles Long.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-There have
been Just IS miles of streets obstructed
by debris as a result of the tornado. Ali
of these streets have been made passa-
bic and will be cleaned up in 10 days.
In the city there are 490 miles of i'm.
proved streets, so it can be seen 10
what extent the tornado Interrupted
traffic.
The storm district on its outside
lines, extend from the river on the
east to Tower Grove avenue On the
west, and from Olive street on the
north to Lynch Street on the south.
This comprises an area of six square
miles. The extreme limits Were three
miles east and west, and two miles
north and south.
An adequate idea Of the damage can
be formed when it is stated that if all
the houses damaged and blown down
were on both sides of the one street,
that street would be just S5 miles
long. The figure is given by the
street commissioner VINO has been
through the entire district and from
the reports of his general su perintend-
ent who has cut a roadway through
the IS miles of streets.
In addition to this, there are many
more streets obstructed by wires asd
the like, which are not counted in the
total. It has been feared that large
number of the people now reported
missing from East st. Louis found
watery graves.
In the light of recent developments
it seems as though these fears were
not unfounded, for in the past two
days, two bodies have been dragged
from the Mississippi's waters. Tn.
body of an unknown woman was
taken from the water near East Caron-
delet. 1t still lies unidentified. Tony
Messing, who formerly lived at No.
1886 North Nineteenth street, was
found in the water near the Plttsburg
dyke at the East st. Louis elevator.
Messing was employed by the Dopk
Bros. coal yards and was known to
have been near the river front at the
time of the storm. 1t was supposed
tpat he was blown into the river. In
addition to this large number of
horses and other animals have been
found in the debris which was collect
ed along the bank. A number OF
these horses were fully harnessed, and
as the storm occurred at d tlne wneu
the river front was GRO wded with teams
going TO and coming from st. Louis
With the last load Tor the day, IL Is
thought that D. number OF the drivers
may also have been swept into the
stream.
There is no way to fully determine
the number Of missing.

U. X. GUNTER, Secretary.
The Law Unconstitutional

CHARLESTON June 4.-Judge Simon
ton declared in his opinion filed today
that so much of the dispensary law
which refers to the seizing, testing and
confscation of liquors, ordered for
personal consumption by the residents
of this State, is in conflict with the
Constitution of the United States, and
is therefore null and void. He holds
that resident has the right to order
his liquor from beyond the State, and
to receive it without having it inter
fered with in any manner. The opin-
ion is lengthy and exhaustive legal
document. 1t fully covers the subject
matter which has been in dispute.
The greater portion of the opinion
deals with the section of the law re-
ferring to the testing of liqurs, and, as
stated above, Judge Simonton denies
the validity Of such testing. He con-
siders it burden on commerce.
Judge Simonton Shows that the pro-
visions of the law are directed towards
giving the State monopoly of the Ii
quor trade. In conclusion, he states
THE present act gives to certain per-
sons, the board o: control, the sole
power OF purchasing and importing
into this State an article recognized as
an article of commerce. The monop-
oily is invested in them by provisions
of such stringency and secured by
such extraordinary sanctions that
every other person of this State and
all citizens of other States are abso-
lutely deprived of competition with
them. Thus the products, as well as
the citizens of other States, are dis
criminated against, and interstate
is DESTROYED y

Egypt Raises More Cotton.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Inspired by
the high prices realized by the cotton
crop of 1886, Egyptian planters
have this spring increased the area to
the maximum limit permitted by the
countrys irrigation facilities. Exact
figures are not procurable, but it is
estimated that the increase of acreage
is from 5 to s per cent. and that this
seasons's area appoximates, 1850. 900
acres. The greatest percentage Of in.
crease is in provinces south Of Cairo.
Conservative forecasters believe the
crop will yield 750,00 bales of 750
pounds-being the equivalent of l, 1875,
900 American bales, and the largest
ever raised in the Nile valley. Pre-
dicated ON the yearly increase of ship.
ments to America. it is probable that
the United States will buy IS, GOO bales
of the Egyptian cotton, equal to about
100,0 900 bales of American weight.
These facts are as reported to the
state department by United States
Consul General Penfeld at Cairo.
