1t was about this point that the storm
tarned its way to the north. 1t swept nearly
everything before ii for two or three miles
from the river TO Fourth street. Among the
important structures to fall were the roof
and part of the walls Of the Saxony -four
mill, the Southern white lead works, Plants
oil mill and elevator, the st. Louis Foundry
and Machine Company's plant, all of which
were more or less seriously damaged.
The number of families left homeless by
the devastation along the path of the storm
will reach up into the thousands. In many
Instances these unfortunates have lost all
their worldly possessions. Many will for
days be dependent on charity and their more
fortunate neighbors for shelter.

hannesburg Reformers.
PRETORIA, May 29.-Mr. Barney Barnato
arrived here last evening and had a long IN
terview with President Kruger, pleading
eloQuently for clemency for the reform pris-
oners. He urged that the heavy punishment
which the prisoners had already undergone
had vindicated the law. And If they were
kept in prison any longer they might
emerge with a bitter feeling, which would
be likely to carry a deplorable race
hatred for generations. With the great
est respect. Mr.. Barpato appealed to
the Presidents known generosity on behalf
Of the misguided men. and argued that he
had golden opportunity by par5oning them
OF doing untold good. This would be an ad-
mirable act. Mr.. Barnato continued. In the
evening of a distinguished life. There

President Kruger listened to Mr.. Barnato
with attention for an hour and a half and
he. seemed to be greatly impressed with what
he had said, but he indulged in some spirited
repartee during the interview. He assured
Mr.. Barnato that ne was still
doing his utmost to obtain a
further ulitiagtion OF the sentences
OF the reformers and that he would pursue
the course which he thought righteous un-
influenced by outside developments. He
trusted to the future, he said, to justify his
action. The Executive Council are awaiting

No Outside Aid Needed by the Big City
but Speedy Assistance Required
Across the River.

ST. LOUIS. May s.-To-night forty-eight
hours after the tornado of Wednesday tore
it's way through the city, there exists about
as much uncertainty as to the actual num-
ber of people killed and the amount of
property damaged as on the first morning
of the disaster. Scores Of dead have been
identified, but no one is willing to venture
a guess as to how many bodies may be in
the ruins of the hundreds of buildings as
yet unexplored. The total number Of dead
in st. Louis, identified up TO to- night, is 162.
and in East st. Louis ~.
In ST. Louis there are % bodies still
unidentified and in East st. Louis two. 1t
is believed that the deaths of the injured
and the future recovery of bodies WIFI bring
the ST. Louis list well up to 200. In East
st. Louis the city officials declared this
evening that they have hope that the death
roll on that side of the river will not ex-
ceed $50. but the ruins on which the res
cuers have not yet begun to work may
swell the total far beyond that figure.
The estimates on property loss have grown
apart. Guesses were made to-day ell the
way from 81, 100000 to s5OOOO,O00 for st. Louis.
and from $4,000 to $20.0O0.o00 for East st.
Louis. The most popular estimate is in the
neighborhood Of s25,O00000 for both cities.
including railroad buildings damaged. The
building contractors OF the city have been
overwhelmed with orders for rebuilding,
and the work of wiping out the havoc Of
the storm will be pushed with all energy.
The committee in charge announced to-
night that the auditorium to be used for
the Republican national convention has
been repaired and now shows not the Sight
est effect of the storm.
Corrected reports from various sources
along the river front materially reduce the
estimates of the loss by drowning. How
many roustabouts went down will probably
never be known, as they are generally Of
| a class in whose welfare there is little in
| terest, most of them being negro nomads,
| who move from one port to another.
The steamer j. j. O'Dell, the Illinois river
| packet which went to pieces at the Pitts
burg dyke after tumultuous trip from the
| foot of Cherry street, dragged down five
| unfortunates to watery death. The VIC
| Tins were: Morris Fisher we,l-known
| merchant Of Hardin, ILL.,; Mrs. Goodner. Of
| the same place: Sim Woods. chief c,erk of
| the boat, and the second cook and cham
| bermaid, whose names are unknown.

NOT IN NEED OF AID.
Citizens of st. LOuis Will Care for
Their Own Destitute.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The local papers to-
day tell of the sympathy offered by the whole
country to st. Louis, in It's present state OF
woe. Offers have come to Mayor wabridge
from commercial organizations all over the
United States, and from the Mayors of cities
large and small to extend financial aid as the
situation demands. Chicago was the first to
extend offers of assistance, the city being
represented by the Union League Club, Com
mercial Club and Mayor Swift. 1t is not likely
that Mayor walbridge will accept these kind
ly offers. for while the losses are stupendous,
local citizens have already established a
large-sized fund for the sufferers.
Charles w. Knapp. editor OF the Republic,
to-day sent the following dispatch to Chi
cago: est. Louis does not need assistance.
East st. Louis is appealing for aid. The pro-
portion. of destruction to population there is
something awful"
Albert Lawson, managing editor of the
Post Dispatch, also Sent a telegram to Chi
full for sympathy and preferred aid but is
amply able TO take care Of her sufferers. East
81. Louis. however, is worse hurt than we
are. and help is badly needed there"

following announcement tonight with refer
ence to offers of aid from cities throughout

eF,uenceS OF generosity IN these help Offer

Of the storm-stricken district which, though
extensive, Is almost entirely confined TO the

business area, it Is its deliberate Judgment

vide for all the needs of the afflicted. 1t

the city has been affected nor the who.e-
sale, manufacturing district materially in

ing erected for the Republican convention
has already been repaired and the building
is now ready for occupancy.
The destruction. misery and want here has
touched the hearts Of the people in all parts
Of the country. and as a result ever since
the storms of Wednesday offers of help and
contributions have been pouring in. Up to
