TIE ESTIMATE $20,OOO,OO0 This is Given Out by the Mayor
 of St. Louis. HE MADE A CAREFUL SURVEY
Collateral Losses Not Included Tine Unfortu-
 mates Are Unable to Recoup.
THE DEATH LIST IS HAPPILY SHRINKING
But the Total Is Saddening Enough in All Truth-How the Steamer Pike Wealth. cred the Storm-Two Illinois
 Towns Destroyed.

St. Louis, May 29--Mayor Walbridge, Health Commissioner Starkoff and Chief of Police Harrigan completed a tour of the devastated streets at 4 o'clock this morning. In addition to gathering data on sufferers needing immediate relief, they made estimates of the losses. The mayors tour of inspection has been thorough, and without hesitation he places the property losses in this city at 20,0O0,O00. This does not include dam age to shipping nor collateral loss by suspension of business, but is placed upon the property wiped out by the storm. While these figures were start ling they convey to the outside world probably the true character of the dis aster in more convincing form. These losses in seven-tenths of the cases are irreparable, as they fall upon those un- able to recoup themselves.

IT'S SIC, 1000 .ooo FOR UNCLE SAM. The Effect of Repeating the Free Alcohol
 Clause of the Tariff Bill.

Washington, May 29.-Internal Reve- nue Commissioner Miller says that the action of congress repeating section 61 of the tariff bill providing for free alcohol used in the arts and for medicinal pur- poses will have the effect of increasing the net revenue from internal sources fully $10,O00,000 per annum. There are now pending suits against the United States for $17, ,000, 900 for alcohol used since the passage of the Wilson tariff bill, and which the treasury refused to refund, as provided in that section. The government has taken the position that 1t was impossible to draft regulations to carry that section into effect and at the same time to protect the interests of the treasury
 In the meantime manufacturers of me- dicinal compounds, and those who use alcohol in the arts, have been using duty paid alcohol and keeping their own ac- counts and demanding a refund of the amount paid, which the treasury has uniformly refused to refund, alleging as a reason that the treasury had provided no regulations to determine the quantity used and could not take unofficial or ex parte statements of interested parties of the quantity of alcohol so used.

Getting at the Correct Figures.

St. Louis, May 29.-It is possible this morning to make a somewhat intelligent estimate of the loss of life in this city and vicinity by the storm Wednesday night. In St. Louis the number of dead reported up to o'clock this morning is 143, of which 116 are identified. Of these the larger proportion are at the morgue or the undertaking establishments. There are undoubtedly many others at private residences and others are buried under the debris. A careful survey of the situ- ation justifies the belief that the unre- ported dead will not exceed 10O This brings the total of dead in St. Louis up to about 25O. It is estimated that the se- riously wounded will number 400.
 In East St. Louis the number of dead reported to o'clock this morning is 113. It is not believed the dead unreported will exceed sixty or seventy, making a total of 175 at the outside. The number of seriously wounded is estimated at 200 to 250 In the country districts 112 were killed and 220 injured.
