At THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The President Sends a Batch of NOmi-
nations to the Senate for
Confirmation.
The WHITE METAL TANGLE IN CONGRESS-
Proposition to Refer Senate Silver Sub
stitute for Bond Bill to a Conference
Committee estern Republi-
cans Are in Earnest.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE pr resident
sent to the senate to-day the following
nominations: W. A. Woodward, of Bald
win, N. Y, to be third assistant secretary
of state; Peter Victor Deuster, of Wis
consin, to be consul at Crefeld, Germany;
Louis Scalk, to be postmaster at Rawlins,
Eyo.
IN A BAD TANGLE.
The personnel of the conference COM
mittee on the silver tsond bill is exciting
muctsinterest owing to the peculiar diff
ference existing between the senate and
house. The latter has passed the bond
bill, and refused to to accept the senate
silver substitute and declines to accept
the bond feature.
Chairman Dingley, of the ways and
means committee, said the senate would
take the initiative. II was customary, he
said, for each body to give representa-
tion to each element on measure. II
this course was followed, the senate would
name two silver and one sound money
senator as the senate conferees and the
house would name two sound money and
=. one silver man to represent 1t.
Mr.. Dingley was asked how far it
would be possible for conference COM
mittee to frame compromise when the
measures of the two houses were antag
onistc. He said conference could
not 60 outside the legislation of the
two houses SO far as to effect an en-
tirely new measure. He expressed doubt
whether go complete difference between
the houses as existed on this bill left
open any middle course.
WESTERN REPUBLICANS.
The Republicans of the senate are in a
state of Generalization. The refusal of
four of the free coinage senators to vote
to take up for consideration the Reed So
called tariff bill has convinced the eastern
Republicans that the western men are in
earnest.
The four western Republicans who vot-
cd with the Democrats and Populists
against considering the tariff bill were
Teller, Dubois, Carter and Mantle. This
action brings the Republicans Of con-
gress face to face with their inability to
pass tariff bill unless they conoil,ate the
free coinage element of their party. Teller
and his western men freely accept the
responsibility of the position they have
placed themselves in, and quietly inform
the eastern brethren that their platform
for all time in the future will be "no free
coinage, no tariff"

Pine del Rio, passed between Nepuno
ana Waterloo on the south coast, and en-
tered the province Of Havana.

fed
All the streams of southwestern Missouri
had been carrying their capacity of water,
and this sudden surplus will ruin thou
sands of acres of ripening grain.
The district of Seneca's flood disaster
presented a picture of desolation yester-
day. Cherokee avenue, the principal bus
mess street. is divided in two sections by
the loss of the iron bridge which spanned
Lost creek. Searching parties are CON
stantly beating either side of the stream in
search of the missing citizens, who are
evidently drowned. OF the eighteen
known to be drowned, fourteen have been
taken from the water About 100 homes
were inundated, and two of these, those
of Messrs Andreas and Schmidt, were car

of the families drowned A number of

VISITORS TO ST. LOUIS.


-
So Large as Reported.
ST. LOUIS, June livery railroad en-
tering this storm stricken city ran excur-
sion trains yesterday. They brought scores
of thousands of people to view the devas-
tation and ruin wrought by the awful
storm of Wednesday. The streets of the
ruined district were thronged with visitors
all day. They came from almost every
town and city within u radius of 300 miles,
and nearly all day "a cold, drizzling rain
fell. Lowering, threatening clouds COW
cred the sky, and n more dismal scene than
the ruined portion Of this city presented
could scarcely be imagined.
At early dawn people began to crowd
into the city morgue. Many came in search
of friends, but for the most part people
who visited them were drawn by morbid
desire to see the mangled corpses of the
unfortunate victims of the tornado. All
day long the officers on duty were busy
keeping the people moving in line and out
of the viewing room of the morgue.
From the best sources now obtainable
the list of the victims of the cyclone in this
city is given as follows Known dead, 19l ;
unknown dead, z; fatally injured, 22i

the loss on this side of the Mississippi will
not be over $40, 100000.

REMNANTS OF THE HOLIDAY
The Disturbances Expected Did Not
Materialize in Numbers.
SALOONKEEPER TERRIBLY BEATEN
Clubs and Glasses Used in an Assault Upon
Him by Five Men-An italian Fruit
Vender Knocked senseless
While Chasing Thief.

For combined holiday and payday, Sat
urday produced a remarkably few number of
disturbances. The Justices of the Peace and
police and cOnstables had looked forward to
the day with expectations of great harvest,
but all except one were disappointed The
exceptional one was Justice Toomey. The
First ward produced number of cases. In
one of them William Abramaitis almost lost
his life through beating. He is a saloon
keeper and among his customers were Charles
Dukes, Anthony and Mike Anjukitis and two
others whose names are unknown. For ap-
parently no reason, Dukes struck the saloon
keeper on the head with mace and when
Abramaitis tried to get the weapon he was
beaten by the five men with a mace beer
glass, pool cue and base ball bat. 1t is be-
lieved that but for the interference of friends
Abmmaitis would have been killed. The
three assailants named are under bail.
Peter Cecchini, an Italian, was also a
victim of brutal assault He sold fruit in
the vicinity of Columbia Park on Saturday.
A boy stole a quantity of bananas from the
stand and when he gave chase to the thief
Cecchni was struck on the head by an un-
known person. The man sustained a badly
lacerated scalp and he was unconscious fol
some time
Michael Hudock got full Saturday after
noon and some boys teased him. Hudock
became exasperated and struck in the face
Rachel, the young daughter of Constable
Taliesn Phillips, who was standing near.
Ex-Chief Burgess Smith and Special Officer
Kane chased Hudock to the First ward and
caught him. He was arraigned before JUS
tice Toomey and, after spending the night in
the lookup, settled the case.
The people of North Jardin street became
greatly alarmed Saturday morning bya report
that sneak thieves were taking advantage of
the holiday excitement to make haus in the
neighborhood. The stir was caused by Mrs.
Fiatta Benner, of that street, reporting that
her house had been raided. The loss re-
ported at the time was SIPS, but before even
ing the circumstances of the case were very
much modified. 1t appears that about 8
o'clock in the morning Mrs. Benner went to
the ash bin at the rear of her residence and
upon returning discovered that her pocket
book had been stolen from the dining room
table. The contents were described as being
S25 in cash, 500 in notes, and a number of
receipts. At about 4;3O in the afternoon
Mrs Benncr's son, Ezra, aged 13 years, pro-
duced the pockctbood He said he found it
lying under the dining room table An eX-
animation showed that the contents were in
tact with the exception of Sl.5O. A pecu-
liarity of the affair is that after the robbery
the dining room was thoroughly cleaned. 1t
leaves the presumption that the one who
stole the pocketbook became conscience
smitten after spending orapprOpriating 81 80,
and threw the purse under the table to
create the impression that it had not been
stolen, but accidentally brushed from the
