Conrse of the Storm.

DETROIT, May 26-J. K. Weaver, one of The Trihunes travelling collectors, came to Detroit on the Bay City division of the Michigan Central road and said that the cyclone had followed the railroad track very closely. As far as he could learn from observation from the train and conversation with people the cyclone first struck the outer edge of Metamora, but did not do very much damage.
 It then took leap and struck a farm house and barn between Metamora and Oakwood. levelinR them to the ground.
 Whether or not the occupants were kill ed could not be learned, but as they had not been seen 1t was presumed that they were.
 Then the cyclone descended upon Oak wood and leveled every building to the ground.
 Here fire added its terrors to the terri ble work of the cyclone and completed the devastation. When the train passed through there, not a person was to be seen, but the flames had nearly completed their work of destroying the wreokage left by the twister.
 A man named Doyle was at the station when the train pulled into Thomas and related the details of one of the curious freaks of the cyclone. He said that his house. two story balloon frame, was not touched, but every other house for two or three blocks in all directions was totally destroyed. There was one family whose house was destroyed so thoroughly that only small pieces of 1t could be found anywhere, and of whose members not one had been discovered. The neighbo had looked for them under all the debris in the vicinity that could be moved. but not a trace of any of them could be found, and &l h1..

Besides those reported dead there were eight persons who lay around the depot and were at tended by physicians, who said that they were all badly injured, and 1t WAS expect ed that some of them would not recover.

 MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May a6.-A terrific cyclone, accompanied by heavy rain, struck this city. Some 30 houses on Front Butler and Inches streets were blown down and many of them literally torn to pieces. No deaths are reported. but many people were injured. The list of in- jured Is as follows: Mrs. Anna Pohl, back broken, cannot live; Adolph Pohl. iniured; William Pohl, injured; Mrs. Russell Carter, badly injured; Mrs. Orms- by, arm broken.
 The home of Mrs. Anna Pohl, a widow with three small boys, was blown down on their heads. and the four members of the family were pinioned In the wreck age. It was some time before assistance arrived. When they were out. they were taken to neighbours house, where 1t was found that Mrs Pohps back was broken, and she cannot live Her boys, Adolph, Henry and William, are more or less in- jured, but will recover.

 Sir Edwin then describes the crowning 8 of the empress and continues:
 "These two moments and the solemn interval when the czar knelt and prayed silently for his whole people, for his oon- sort and for himself, while his mighty empire outside stood erect, chiefly affected me as the moro fraught with imperial and human significance.

the Pilot OF yesterday. "ail our dollars

In the light OF these premises. there
IS no escape from the conclusion that
the value Of every dollar will be cut in
two by free coinage. and the present
silver dollar will necessarily be worth
but fifty cents.

we have been told that a leading Chi

law now through which niterate cleo
tors can vote. The idea said to have
been presented by him is this: The Code
Of Virginia, adopted in fSS7. provides that
the elections shall be held by three Judges
Of election at each precinct. But the Par
ker amendment to the Walton law passed
at the last session Of the Legislature.

the ballots Of ill.terate voters. provides
that the three judges shall select one of
