Situation at ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-Ihe work of
relief and restoration goes on to-day
in the midst Of rain. Contributions
Of money, clothing, provisions and
other necessities are coming in liber-
ally and all che destitute are being
cared for. The losses caused indi-
rectly by the tornado are just begin
ming to reveal themselves and will
be nearly rs cruel as the immediate
effects. Because Of the tornado ruin
ing many mills and factories, a large
number Of men will be out of en-
ployment for weeks and months.
How many mon will be deprived Of
the opportunity to earn a livelihood
cannot be stated with accuracy, but
1t certainly runs into tue hundreds
In excess OF the number employed to
repair the damage.
Ten district assessors and fifteen
clerks left the Office Of A. H. Fred
erick, President Of the Board of AS
SCISSORS, to-day to make an official es-
innate of the losses. These experts
will make u house to house canvass
OF the territory blasted by the tornado.
Frederick expects to have a complete
report 81 week hence. Nine bnrial
permits were issued to-day for the in
terment OF storm victims. In East
st. Louis dozens OF persons are kept
busy handing out groceries, shoes,
dresses and other needed articles, but
so generous have been the responses
in money and other gifts that for the
time being there is no danger of
want.
