ST. LOUIS RECOVERING.
Business Resuming It's Normal
Condition.
HOMELESS PEOPLE.
Seven Thousand Homes Rendered
Uninhabitable by the
Cyclone.

ST. LOUIS, May 30.-By slow degrees
st. Louis is recovering from the busi>
ness paralysis caused by. the storm.
Sons of the principel thoroughfares
thst were choked with wreckege have
been opened and few etreee- car lines
started, but the telephone system is
practically useless. Tue aide streets
through the storm wrecked districts
are still in a critical condition. Traffic
is in many places impossible. 1t will
require weeks to restore some of the
streets to their normal coalition. The
number of dead is hourly growing
greater as the work of clearing away
the ruins progresses. 1t was said by
officials of the city hospital the day af-
Ter the storm that no one was crushed
in the ruins. They are beginning to
change their minds. Il has been ascer-
tained that from fifty to seventy five
patients and four or five employees are
missing. Until this morning practical
ly no work towards exploiting the ruins
had been done.
Sr Louis, May 30.-A special to the
Post Dispatch from Bellevue, Illinois,
says megre reports from New Baden,
just over the line in Clinton county, in
dicate that that village has been pretty
well wiped out of existence, only three
or four houses remaining standing.
Eleven people were killed.
ST.. LOUIS, June The work of re-
lief end restoration goes on today in the
midst of the rain. Contributions of
money. clothing, provisions and other
necessities are coming 10 literally and
all the destitute are being cared for.
Losses caused indirectly by the tornado
are just beginning to reveal themselves
aud will be nearly as cruel as the inn
mediate effects because the tornado
ruined many mills and factories.
Ten district assessors and fifteen clerks
left the office of A II Frederick, presi-
dent of the Board of A assessors today to
make an official estimate of the losses.
These experts will make house to
house canvass of the territory blasted
by the tornado, Frederick expects to
have a complete report q week hence.
Nine burial permits we're issued today
for interment of storm victims in East
st. Louis dozen 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 went.

THERE is much doubt about that
investigation of the bond issues by the
administration which the Senate direct
ed to be made. According to Senator
Harris, wEo is ch8icmRn of the sub
com mittee which will do the investigat
ing, it may be finished in three days or
it may take three. months. Il will not
begin until Secretary Carlisle furnishes
the committee all thu details of the sev-
ersl bond issues. While indicating his
willingness to do this, Mr. Carlisle told
the committee that it would teke con-
siderable time to prepare the statement.
Some criticism has been aroused by the
report that the investigation would be
secret.
