ONE Of the largest political demon
STATIONS ever witnessed in the North
west was that held at Minneapolis upon
the occasion Of BoURKE CoCKRAN's ad-
dress in that city. The parade which
took place before the meeting was three
miles long. At Exposition Hall, where
the meeting took place, not one-third Of
the people who applied for admission
could be seated, although the capacity
of the building is about 10000. Mr..
BRYAN doesn't seem to have a monopoly

ard the gold dollar has grown in value

ceives as many dollars for days work
now as he did prior to 1873, and these dol

audiences attention. jumped over one
question entirely, 1t was a remarkable
performance and demands description.
Mr.. stallings was struggling with the
third question. which was as follows:
Third-Mr. Bryan and other advocates
OF free coinage claim that 1t will increase
the price OF all commodities. II It should
increase the price of things which the
workingman has to buy and does not cor
respondingly increase his wages, will he
not be most seriously affected by the
changer
He said: you cannot take q false
premise and reach q correct conclusion"
But instead OF showing what false pre-
mise Mr.. Timberlake had taken he de-
clared that this third question was an.
swered by Mr.. Undertakes fourth ques-
ton. This he then read as follows:
Fourth-Is 1t true that between 1850
and 1855, when the currency was inflated
with paper, that the price of all commo-
dities rose 116 per cent, while wages
rose only 80 per centH'

admission that wages had risen. but
avoiding explaining why they had not
risen in the same proportion as the prices
of commodities-an explanation which
would have really answered the third
questionable turned to Mr.. Russell, and
shaking his finger playfullY in his face,
said: II know where you got that, Ed.

was not on the witness stand; and the
speaker assured him that he ought to
have gotten the minority report on the
same subject.
This colloquy, and the intimation that
Mr.. Russell was the discoverer of the
questions propounded by Mr.. Undertake
caused much amusement, and burst of
laughter followed, in the midst Of which.
with a victorious flourish OF his arms,
Mr.. Stallings jumped over the fifth ques-
ton and cried out in loud tone OF voice:

THE ST. LOUIS DISASTER.

Professor Willis M. Moore of
Washington, Chief of the United
States Weather Bureau, who is in
st. Louis, said, after viewing the
wrecked district:
"The tornado was the result of
q moderate cyclonic system CEN
trail in Western Kansas. The
State of Missouri, Wednesday
morning, was in the southeastern
quadrant of the cyclone, therefore
in the most dangerous part of the
storm area. The popular term
used by the press is cyclone. The
term is erroneous, as the term
cyclone technically refers to a
gyrating mass of air probably one
thousand miles in diameter and
which is often harmless so far as
the destruction of life and pro-
perty is concerned, unless it is on
the seaboard or at lake ports.
The tornado is a mass of air
rapidly rotating about vertical
or nearly vertical axis, the diane
ter Of rotation varying from five
hundred yards to two miles, and
the velocity of rotation is SO ter
rife that human ingenuity has
never devised means for measur-
ing it, The most powerful struc-
tu' es that man is able to devise
crumble when in the grasp of
this powerful gianto nature"
Professor Moore describes the
results of the storm that struck
st. Louis, and says this season
has been unusually prolific in the
production of tornadoes.
The city officials are making no
effort to recover the bodies, hund-
reds of which are still buried in
the ruins. Three children were
found unharmed under the ruins
of house. Nearly 30 per cent,
OF the entire population of East
st. Louis are either dead, missing
or injured.

SUNDAY NIGHT ROW.
stones, NIaces and Clubs Were Used in u
Free for all Fight.


Last night shortly before midnight, Chief
Burgess Burns, Chief Tosh, Officers Lee and
Foltz and Constable Giblon were summoned
to East Raspberry alley, in the vicinity of
limerick street, where a row in which 10
Polish men were participants, was in full blast.
The riot started in the following manner,
Three Polish mon, whose names could not be
learned, were in neighboring saloon engaged
i'm having q few drinks with each other.
suddenly one of the uuilacr left Nud said
he was going to retire, hut instead laid down
ON IL front stoOp near the saloon. Shortly after
his two companions came out, and suspectiug
him 20 be another man with whom they had
some hot words shortly before, secured several
large stones and pounded him unmerci-
fully. BY the cries Of Murder i'
Help l' several other countrymen were
attracted to the scene, until the number had
increased 10 10. after which a free-for-all
fight was engaged in. in which revolvers,
stones and clubs were the principal weapons.
When the fight was at its highest, the police
force, under supervision of Chief Tosh ar
rived, who Immediately ordered them to
show no mercy unto the rioters. Chief
Tosh's mace was broken in half during the
fracas, after which he borrowed another from
one of the officers. Policeman Lee had q
very narrow escape from being hit ON the
head with a broken beer glass, which was
taken from the rioter by Tosh, whom he
afterwards arrested for carrying concealed
weapons, and who entered $500 bail for ap.
pearance at court. After the fracas had sub.
sided, eleven of them were taken into Gus
tody and lodged in the lookup, presenting a
scene similar to a massacre, Blood flowed
freely from wounds on many Of the victims
who received some ugly gashes about the
head and face, and different parts of the
body. A number Of them paid the borough
fine and costs, but the majority Of them are
serving time. Revolvers were found on two
of the rioters, who were afterwards arrested
on an additional charge of carrying concealed
deadly weapons.
Another riot also took place IN Saturday
night at the saloon of Andrew Nawitzka, on
East Centre street, in which a number OF
Polish men were badly battered A large
centre table which stood in an ante-room, was
broken into pieces and the legs used a:
weapons. One Of the men was knocked
unconscious and remained in that condition
for over fifteen minutes. The proprietor OF
the saloon also suffered the loss of many OF
his bar fixtures. One of the men was com.
PEELED to jump out of q second story window
in order to avoid the Infatuated crowd. Nc
arrests were made.
