its committee on banking and currency has
been unable to agree on a bill for the reform

The extraordinary series Of cyclonic
storms which occurred in the West during
the last two or three weeks have been fol-
lowed by a tornado at St Louis on We'd
nesday, which has caused immense loss of
life and property. Although lasting only
about half an hour, it left behind it wide
spread and terrible evidences of its destruc-
tive power. Many of the most solid build
ings in the city were blown down or wreck.
ed and hundreds of people are reported to
have been killed or injured. Some Of the
ruins caught fire after the storm had done
its work, and the danger of confagration
was added to the general horror of the
situation.

1t is common error TO suppose that pop
uar sentiment is increasingly favorable to
the free coinage Of silver. The test is found
in the votes on the silver question in the
branch of Congress elected directly by the
people. The Yale Review for May has an
article which gives the figures for 1890 and
succeeding years, and these figures show
that discussion is lessening and not increas-
ing the number of people willing to "try the
experiment of free coinage. In 1890 the
majority in the House of Representatives
against free coinage was but l. In 1899 it
was 10; in 1893 il was 1870; in 1896 it is 215.
When these facts are presented to the silver
lite, he is apt to talk incoherently and with.
out proof of administrative pressure" and
of "the influence OF Wall street" Too much
of the free silver argument is mere denun-
citation on basis Of unverified charges.

SUGAR BOUNTY TO BE PAID.

The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says: The
decision OF the Supreme Court yesterday on
the sugar bounty cases does not affirm the
constltutionality of the sugar bounty pro-
vided for in the Mckinley tariff OF 1890, but
affirms the power of Congress to pay any
claims which it may deem OF IAN equitable,
moral or honorary nature" and includes the
claims made by sugar growers under the
bounty act Of 1895 in that class. That act
of 1895 appropriated some millions of dol
lars to meet what were deemed the equita
BILE claims Of sugar planters who had con,
formed to the conditions of the bounty sec.
ton of the tariff act of 1890, but who were
prevented from receiving the bounty by the
passage Of the tariff act of 1894. When it
was sought to obtain the money appro.
priated in 1895 Controller of the Treasury
Bowler refused to pay it, holding bounties
to be unconstitutional. The effect of yes
terdays decision is to reverse Mr.. Bowlers
ruling and give nearly 100000 to sugar
growers for their goodness in engaging in
the sugar industry. The court holds that
some sort of obligation was created by the
promise OF sugar bounty. Sugargrowers
invested money on the strength of it, and
SO claim was justified. The government
dld not legally owe them anything, but
there was sort of debt and Congress
may, in its discretion, appropriate money
for any claim, however, weak. 1t may even
give gratuities and indulge in pure charity
The door Of the treasury is accordingly wide
open to a majority of Congress, which may
scatter its contents at will, provided the fic
ton of paying debt is put forward to cover
the transaction. This is very well Tor claim
ants, but the taxpayer seems TO be somehow
left out of view

HIS CAREER LIKE HOLINESS
A Minister Suspected OF hiliins
Many Women.

A Salt Lake City, Utah, telegram says;
The people OF this city are greatly eS-
cited over the murder OF two women IN
a church. resembling in some respects
the double crime committed by Durrant
in San Francisco. No less than seven
persons, most OF them women, u Is now
believed. have been killed ~ thc person
accused Of the murder Of the two women.
The pastor Of the church, the Rev. +.
Hermann, IS accused of the murders.
The scene OF the crimes was The FIRST

wear the pastors wife died, and he en-
gagged Miss Ciawson, an attractive young
woman Of 3, 10 look after his apart
ments in the church building In Septem-
her last Miss Clawson suddenly disap-
peared and has not been seen alive since.
Immediately after her disappearance, the
pastor. although the weather wa not
at that season, ordered a big fire BUNK
i'm the furnace in rhe basement OF the
church. He sent everybody away, and
lighting the ire himself, Kept 81 going
for hours.
Persons In the nelghborhood detected
odors at the time. and demonstrated WIN
Hermann, but ne sad he wanted TO give
the fues a thorough test before cold
weather came. 1t was in this furnace
few days ago ;nat the body Of Mss Claw
son. together with blackened razors, d
butcher knife. and part @: woman :
garter buckle, were found.
The other victim rs Miss Annie Samuel
son. She was engaged 10 be married TO
the preacher, but mysteriously disap-
peared in February last, and II IL sup
posed her body IS concealed somewhere
about the church. The police, who have
been secretly working on the case for
several days, found a barrel. tina head Of
which Is covered with human blood.
Boodstains were also sDund on the fur
mace door and floor.
The Rev. Mr. Hermann, for whose ar
rest a warrant has been issued on the
charge OF murder, left Salt Lake on May
10th for Kansas city, thence 10 D-c)ran
Ia, on a missionary tour. Since his de

DEBORAH have failed 10 bring tidings Of
him. Among his effects here. which are
In the hands OF the police. are letters
articles of jewelry, and clothing belonging
to both the dead girls.
Further Developments In ths tragedy
lead to the belief that the Rev. Francis
Hermann is a nTsn with record OF
crime little less extensive than that Of
the notorious Holmes. His first wife died
in England under suspicious eircum-
stances. He was pastor Of Scandina-
Wan church al West Superior. Wis. m
1850 and 1891. and there married a highly
respectable woman. who In less than a
year died suddenly with her 2-weeks-o d
baby. An inquest was held. but nothing
beyond suspicion OF foul play was
ELECTED. Hermann soon married again
and came 10 Salt Lake In 1884 with MS
wife. Before long baby was born, and
