MD RRESlEII WILL I5I.
a Strong Message on the Financial situa-
tiOn Coming.
Mr.. Cleysland win RebUke Congress for Its
Course in vesOlng the Rivers and
HaFbOrs ExtFavaa aance.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-PFesident
Cleveland being apprehensive that
some uneasiness may be created by the
passage by the senate of the Butler
resolution forbi5ding further issues of
bonds except by special authority Of
congress, proposes to make plain the
purpose of the administration to main
tain the country's credit il the face Of
the congressional onslaughts, either in
a special financial message or in a veto
of the river and harbor bill which if
| its appropriations should be met, would
again deplete the reserve. Whichever
course may be chosen, the president
will leave no room for doubt that the
governments obligations viii be met
promptly and that the treasury will
not be permitted to become embar-
rassed.
The president will point out, so that
the country will know, that congress is
responsible for the piIing up of the
public debt. 1t is even said that he
will make it understood that he means
to call an extra session of congress, if
there should be adjournment without
the passage of a law relieving the treas
ury. He will call attention to the fact
that nothing has been done since his
message on the financial situation last
December except the passage of enor-
nous appropriation bills, which in
crease the burdens of the treasury
without affording the desired relief.
He will emphasize the fact that con-
gress has it in its power to afford re-
lief, and that it cannot be maintained
that the necessity thereof has not been
indicated by the administration.
The president does not contemplate
with pleasure the possibility of con-
gress being in session during the sum-
mer He feels that the business inter
ests of the country would best be
served by an adjournment of congress
as quickly as possible. The CONNER
eial world will be disturbed a great
deal by the presidential canvass, and
the president does not care to be in
strumental in adding an extra session
of congress to its burdens. Yet he is
said at the cabinet meeting to have de-
cided that he was inclined to empha-
size to the people that he had appealed
for legislation and that congress, or at
least the senate, had failed utterly to
accede to his requests for assistance.

THREE SIITESST0RHS SHEPT.
Many Lives Lost in the Fury Of Devastating
and Destroying Elements.
Sections of Michigan, Iowa and Illinois
Visited by Deadly and Destructive
Foods and Tornadoss.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Disastrous wind
storms and foods visited three states
Sunday night, yesterday and to-day,
causing the deaths of at least SO per-
sons and fatal injuries to many others,
while scores were more or less hurt.
Over a million and half dollars dam
age was done. When more complete
reports can be received from the re-
gions about the towns laid waste the
death list may be swelled to over 100.
The most disastrous storm was the
one which visited the region about Ok
ford, Mich. It was the first tornado
ever known in that section of the state.
About Ortonville, q people were killed;
at ParkWood, eight were killed; about
Thomas the dead number three and at
North Oxford five lives we're lost.
Scores of people we're injured and pro-
badly one-hRlf million dollars will not
cover the losses. The origin and end
of the tornado are not distinctly
marked.
In Iowa the latest reports from the
devastated sections of Polk and Jasper
counties indicate that nineteen persons
lost their lives, while many of the in
jured will probably die. The food
which swept through North McGregor
caused the drowning of at least 16 peo-
pie, whose bodies have been recovered.
Fourteen are still reported as missing.
At Durango five persons were doWned,
four of them the children of the sta
tion agent. In other parts of the state
there was loss of life and of property.
In Illinois the storm of yesterday
morning caused four deaths at Rock
ford and two elsewhere, while in the
suburb Of Edison Ii people we're in
jured. The property losses are estimat-
ed at one-half million dollars. A fierce
wind storm visited Carlo this morning.
The ferry boat Katherine was caught
at the mouth of the Ohio river and
capsizeG, and at least 13 lives were lost.
Great damage was done in and about
the city, but itisimpossible to learn the
details as yet.

NOT YET LOCATED.
Rev. Francis Hermaus Is Sharing HOnOrs
With TasoOtt.

With TasoOtt.
SALTLAKE, Utah, May y25-NO trace Of
the missing pastor of the Scandinavian
Methodist church, Rev. HeFmans, who
is accused of the murder of Misses
Clausen and Samuelson, has yet been
found. and it is expected the governor
will offer a reward for his arrest.
The police have found positive evil
dence that connects him with the
murders in the ashes of the furnace in
the basement of the church.
Salt LAKE, Utah, May 28.-NU posi-
tive information has yet reached the
officials here as to the whereabouts of
the Rev, Hermans, although the police
department has been on the alert for
the past week for some clue that would
assist in locating him. The Associated
Press dispatches saying that the pastor
had been seen in Chicago last Saturday
was eagerly read by the officials in the
hope that further information would
develop.
Rev. Mr.. Mork says Hermans has
many friends in Chicago, but that they
reside in the western part of the city
end not in the vicinity of Stony Island
avenue.
1t is believed that if Hermaus was in
nocent of the appalling crime with
which he is charged, he would certainly
telegraph his friends in this city to
that effect.
The officers now assert openly that
never before have they been able to
forge SO complete and strong a chain of
circumstantial evidence in any case of
great concern as this.
They are now directing the efforts
as to what became of Annie X. Samuel
son. The disappearance of her trunk
and the purchase of a large wooden
box by minister a few days before her
disappearance leads to the theory that
she did not share the probable fate of
her friend, Henrietta Clausen.
Some time ago Hermans presented
to the wife of Rev. Mork a package of
handkerchiefs, which he said formerly
belonged to his wife. One of the hand
kerchiefs bears the initials A. K. S.,
which are the initials of Miss Sam
uelson.
The entrance to the now notorious
little church still bears on the front
door a metal plate with the name,
"Rev. Francis Hermans." The parish
toner's are making a demand for its re-
moval, and it is doubtful if the build
ing will ever again be used for worship.
Some members claim the building
should be raised to the ground as the
city cannot afford to have it pointed
out to strangers as an Emanuel church,
within the walls of which scenes fully
as bad as those enacted in its San
Francisco counterpart have been re-
heaTsed.

Ellice bridge, which crosses Victoria
arm, safely, but when the other was
about half way over, the middle span
of the bridge, about 100 feet in length,
gave way and the car plunged into the
water some 100 feet below. The car
was completely submerged, and all on
board we're drowned with the exception
'of some of those who were standing on
the platforms, and who, escaping injury
from the falling timbers, managed to
save themselves by using the floating
ruins Of the bridge to reach the shore.
Rescurers have SO far. recovered 65
bodies.
When the bridge broke several car
Tiages were on the bridge and these
we're also precipated into the water
As soon as the news Of the accident
reached Macaulay Point the review was
brought to as speedy a termination as
under the circumstances was possible,
and the sham fight was abandoned.

They Flood the Pacific Coast With
Counterfeit Silver.
SAN Francisco, May 23.-A morning
paper says that 'Little Pete" the no
torious Chinese crook who recently
bribed a number of colored jockeys at
the Bay District race track and there
by defrauded the bookmakers of not
less than 100000, is responsible for
the circulation of a vast amount of
counterfeit silver coinage, with which
the coast is flooded. Pete is said TO
have shipped a quantity of silver bull
lion to friend in China who turned
out thousands of the most perfect half
dollars that have ever puzzled the
secret service authorities. When Pete's
company Of 40 "actOrs" destined for
Atlanta arrived in San Francisco the
customs inspector found each member
we'll supplied with silver, but no great
surprise was excited. Thus the Thes-
plans carried their trunks filed with
spurious coin to Chinatown, when Pete
checked off the amount carried by
each one Of the troupe. The crooked
silver was gradually foisted on the
community until now it is estimated
more than $4,000 in halves has been
scattered throughout the coast.
