Estimated Death List Is zoo and ESQ Are
Iniured-Terrible Destruction
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,. May 29.-East
st. Louis is in ruins The tornado
which swept down upon the city oblit-
Grated block after block of business
houses, and left behind in its red trail
of death scores Of human beings
buried beneath the walls OF fattened
buildings or crushed to death in the
streets by the flying debris. The i'm
provised morgues and hospitals are
fairly choked with the dead, some
crushed and battered out of all human
shape, and through them flow steady
stream Of hysterical women and grim
faced men looking for their missing
ones. 1t is almost impossible to make
accurate estimates of those killed. At
the various morgues and at St. Marys
hospital there are fifty-six.
Six are in the Big Four freight house
ruins How many more there are
scattered about the city in private
houses it is impossible to tell, but a
conservative estimate would place the
total number at at least $50 The
scene is simply appalling. From the
river bank TO the National stock
yards, distance of over a mile,
scarcely building is left standing.
The greatest slaughter was done on
the island, so called. Here were
located the Vandalia freight house
and general Office. 0fthe river boats
warehouse, and humble abodes of
workingmen, nothing is left standing.
The place where formerly houses and
freight depot were standing, were
literally swept by the fury of the
storm.
lnthe Vandalia general Office alone
there were from twenty to twenty
five killed, the bodies of some of whom
are still buried beneath the broken
rafters and bricks. The monetary
loss cannot be estimated, but it will
run into millions.
Freight cars stand IN all shapes and
forms about the yards of the dwell
ings, as well as the railway yards,
and several were carried beyond the
Vandalia embankment and thrown
into the slough.
The Lake house, Gross building, the
fremont hotel, Martel house, Wanda
liza round.house, twenty dwellings
around it, the How institute, the
watch tower, Lynch's and Boards, all
near the bikes, were demolished.
Hundreds of cars stand in all shapes
far away from their proper places.
Two engines IN the Vandalia yards
were thrown down an embankment
and destroyed. Far down along the
levee from the bridge wrecks Of
steam boats are found.
The following boats are known to
have been sunk: Sclub, Henry Stock
man, tug Rescue, Mulliken, Christy,
Virgins, Medillan, and al the
wharves. The Church ferry boat was
the only one damaged. Mayors lum-
Der yard was completely carried away,
as was the upper Louisville and Nash
vile freight depot. All streets are
lined with debris of buildings.
After the wind and rain had done
its work, fire added to the destruction.
Hezel's mill was the first to become
ignited, and it was totally destroyed
at loss of $4,000. Harris barrel
factory, nearly fifty loaded cars in
the Terminal yards, Lynch's boarding
house, Boards feed store, Lees black
smith shop, and other places were
burned.

AN OVATION TO TELLER.

Great OutPOurlng of People From All
Parts of Colorado Greet Him.
DENVER, Colo, July 3-Senator
Henry NJ. Teller, on arriving in Dem
yer last evening, was met by great
outpouring Of people from all parts of
the State. The demonstration was
partisan, and it is doubtful if the
scenes of enthusiasm have been par
allelled in Western history.
The explosion of a bomb at the
Union depot at s p. m. announced the
arrival OF the special train in Denver.
The streets were jammed with people,
immense flags and penants, pictures
of the Senator and banners of well
come were everywhere displayed.
Half the individuals in the crowd
waved small white flags on which
were printed portraits of the Senator.
AS the Senator stepped from the
train there went up a mighty shout.
The roar of human voices drowned
out the noise of the bombs. Six hun
bred people from Gllpin county, Sena-
tor Teller's home, who had camped at
the station the greater part OF the
afternoon, rushed pell-mell after h m,
waving flags and shouting voci err
ously.

ILLINOIS SWINGS SOLID into Line
FOR THE SILVER CHAMPION.
ON THE EVE OF BATTLE,
Incoming Delegates Declare That "ThIs
. Democratic Convention and We
Want Democratic Candidate"
The Teller Combine stm
Actively at Work for the
Colorado BOlter.

CHICAGO, July 7--On the very eve of
The Democratic national convention,
the entaugled situation exhibits no
change in condition or candidates..
Bland leads with strength that
grows as the country delegates re-
sentfully come in and declare that
This is Democratic convention and
we want a Democratic candidate. {"
Illinois and Texas were among the
States which formally declared for
him to-day. There Is really no other
candidate Of his own political house
hold whose position is comparable to
his. The entire field of Democratic
aspirants have not united as much
strength as he has singly Considered
separately the several minor candi-
dacies present such appearance of
weakness as to make the boom of Ne
Lean even appear even respectable.
Teller's shadow is the greatest in
strument of dangerous menace to
Bland. The senatorial cabal has not
abandoned endeavor. 1t is not the
Teller purpose to have his name pre-
Sented as the names of other candi-
dates will be, with formal oratOry
and loud declaration, but rather to so
deadlock the convention that his NOM
nation shall appear to offer the one
safe avenue tc victory.
The old fashioned Democratic del
egates, however, say uncompromis-
ingly: IF these Republicans and Pop
ulists are really in favor of free silver
they'll vote for Bland. And if they
don't vote for Bland it is sign that
they are not sincere in their support
OF free silver" That is the answer
that they doggedly make, and they
adhere to it in action.
Governor Pattison is the only gold
standard candidate who will be pre-
sented to the convention, and those
gold standard delegates who vote at
all, some of them being opposed to
taking even so much of part In the
nomination of the candidate, are ex-
pected to vote for him, unless it
should be deemed advisable to use
part of the gold standard vote as
make-weight between the silver can
didates
To-day it is said that the Elan of
the gold men is not TO walk out of the
convention, but to remain until the
close. Then, when the silver men
have captured everything and ad-
Journed, conference will be held and
arrangements maize for convention
some weeks later of anti-silver Demo-
Gratis for the purpose of putting in
nomination a man whom they can
support. OF course if the silver men
go to the Extreme of turning out the
gold delegates in Michigan and cap
turing that State, bolt may be imme-
dlately precipitated, but the conven-
tion to be held to select gold candi.
date is not likely to be FASTENED by
an actual bolt of the convention.
The contesCing delegation from
Texas representing the gold contin-
gent IN that state decided by IA full
vote this morning not to apply for adj
mission to the convention bat issued
an anti-free silver address

Stackhouse was allowed to speak

Money, of Mississippi, NOR actually

chinery from the start"
Mr. Hill was urged by some of his
silver friends not to consent to the
use of his name. but it was said that
he was resolved to make the fight,
and was preparing gold speech to
be delivered either from the platform,
if he can succeed in holding it, or
from the floor if the silverites take
things in their own hands.
The members of the Democratic
national committee who are silver
mon held meeting last night to
agree on candidate for temporary
chairman of the convention, and de-
cidcd to recommend Senator John w.

lected by them, but he, when a dele
cation called on him to confer about
che matter, said that on account of
other engagements it would be out Of
