Fears Expressed That the List
of Fatalities Will Be
Quite Large.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 27.-Five per-
sons, at least, were killed outright,
8 fatally and II more or less injured,
and great destruction of property was
wrought by a cyclone which passed
over Clay county during the night.
The dead are: Frank Peterson, wife
and child; Mrs. Ole Halverson and a.
grandchild of Peterson. The injured
belong to the families of John Morris,
F. Welkin, Peter Anderson and b.
Gardner. There are rumors Of other
deaths south and west Of Clifton and It,
is feared that when communication
with the stricken towns is established.
that a great loss of life will be reported.
Passengers on the Rock Island train
from the north brought partial details
of the cyclone. It started about six
miles south Of Clifton and went in a
northeasterly direction for 10 or ID
miles, then it

1t passed about half way between Cliff
ton and Morganville. Its track varied
from 100 yards to quarter Of a mile in
width. It tore through q alarming COM
munity and left nothing standing.
Houses and barns were wrecked, trees
torn up or broken, fences leveled and
hay stacks blown in every direction.
The cyclone was followed by a terrific
rain storm lasting several hours, food
ing the devastated district.
The cyclone took the people I'M
awares, and, so far as learned. most Of
them had retired. The storm struck
Peter Anderson's house at $50 o'clock.
This was about mile from the start.
ing point. The house was
Demolished in an Instant.
Every member of the Anderson fam.
lily were injured. When they had ex--
tricated themselves from the debris.
they discovered that Anderson's grand.
child was missing. Its dead body was
found in the morning half mile away
in a ravine.
Anderson alarmed the neighbors who.
lived out of the track Of the storm, and
search was commenced for victims.
Couriers were sent to Clifton and Nor
ganvllle for doctors, but it was day.
light before they arrived and the ex-
tent of the injury and damage was
known. It is now thought all the vic
Tins have been found.
A large number of horses and cattle
were killed and fruit in the storms
track was ruined. It is impossible at
this time to estimate the damage to
buildings and other property.

A large majority of the Repub-
lican delegates to the national
convention will be opposed to free
silver coinage, and platform will
be adopted in accordance with
their views. None of the great
Republican states are in favor of
free silver coinage. Several Of
the leading Democratic states are
in favor of free silver coinage, and
it is an open question which side
will prove the stronger in the
Democratic national convention.
