HOUSE BOATS MISSING.
sIxTY-FoUR OF THEM ARE BEING
LOOKED FOR.
Search So Far Has Been in Vain,
and it is Bat Fair to Presume
That All Perished in the ST. Louis
Cyclone. Involving the Loss of at
Least Three Hundred Lives-0ther
Casualties Looked For.

CHICAGO, June 3.-A special from
st. Louis, Mo, says:
Although it is one week since the
disastrous tornado struck ST. Louis
and the east side, it was not noticed
until today that all the house boats in
the river had disappeared. Between
the Chain of Rocks and Choteau ave-
nue. last Wednesday morning there
were siXty-four of these floating shan
ties. Not one was left by the fury
of the tornado. But few of them were
safe, ever in calm weather, and
three-fourths of them were totally de-
stroyed. An old river man said:
The denizens of the house boats are
real nomads. They drift, or are towed,
wherever their fads direct. They are
gypsies of the great rivers. They know
but few people in the cities, and are
known by few. l was figuring last
Sunday a week how many of them
were in this harbor for the June rise,
and figuring five to each boat, there
were over 800 here last Wednesday. I
believe most of them drowned, because
/ know ii is both tradition and instinct
with them to stick to their floating
homes until the last.
Not one of these house boats is left
l have been patrolling the river now
for five days. since the tornado, and, |
am sure that over 300 of these people,
including women and children, are
lost. The lower river will give up this
summer over 100 dead that have not
as yet been counted among the victims
of Wednesdays tornado

AFTER A METEoRITE.
A Race That VIII Prove of Great
Interest.

Interest.
TOPEKA, Kan, June Sit is pos
sfble that there is an object that does
not appear on the surface in the sud-
den departure for Alaska of Professor
l.. l.. Dyche. of the Kansas State uni
versity.
During his northern trip last sum
mer, the professor paid a visit while
in Greenland, TO the largest meteorite
in the world, and Immediately an
nounced his determination to possess
it. Lieutenant Peery, with whom Pro-
fessor Dyche never got along very
well. claimed the meteorite by right of
discovery, and warned the professor
not 10 attempt to remove it. AS the
meteorite weighs dozens of tons,
Peery's warning was of little neces-
sity at the time, but Professor Dycfe
stated distinctly that he intended with
in few years to return to Greenland
for the meteorite.
Last week the dispatches announced
that Lieutenant Peery would sail for
Greenland this summer 70 secure the
neteorite. AS soon as Professor Dyche
can reach Seattle, he too will sail for
the north pole and it is quite probable
that his destination is neither Alaska
nor the north pole, but the point in
Greenland where the coveted meteorite
lies.
Professor Dyche will have the long
est route through Bering straits and
the northwest passage, but he is a
man of great energy and if he has in
reality started on race for the covet-
ed nleteorite the chances are in favor
of lively race to Greenland.
The meteorite is roughly estimated
to be worth $4,000

Morran,s Resolution.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The senate
committee on foreign relations did not
take actor at its meeting today on
Senator Morgan's Cuban joint resolu-
tion. There was no quorum until a
few minutes before the close of the
meeting, when it would have been i'm
possible to have secured a vote if
there had been nothing else in the
way. 1t appeared from the informal
discussion which took place that some
of the members of the committee who
expressed sympathy with the objects
of the resolution. were doubtful
whether 1t would not cause the Cubans
and Americans in Cuba more harm
to report the resolution and have the
senate adjourn without action taken.
Senator Morgan, however, impressed
the Importance of the action and de-
clined to accept the opinion that the
senate would not vote on the resolu-
ton if it should have an opportunity
to do SO before adjourning.

A Duel Prevented.

NEW YORK, June "a cable dis

A duel between Marshal Martinez Gle

Both generals were sent to their re-
spective residences on parole not to
attempt a fresh encounter until the
minister of war and the government

The cause of the proposed duel was
an insulting letter General Barrero

were civilians There is great commo-
ton in political and military circles.

JEFFERSON CITY, June 3.-The
supreme court, sitting at Be- nkholds.
in the case of the St Louis under
ground service company against the
street commissioner of St. Louis, that
all city ordinances that are granting

holds the streets in trust and cannot
grant their use for private purposes.
This opinion is of great Importance
