NoMIyArEp-wHAr He SAYS REGARDING THE
SUGGESTION OF HIS. NAME FOR THE
SECOND PLACE ON THE TICKET.
A Tribune reporter yesterday called on Cen
eral Horace Porter, president of the Union
League Club desiring to learn his views as TO
the Republican nomination for the Nice-Presi-
dency on account Of recent newspaper reports IN
which his name has been mentioned. In reply
10 the question: You have, OF course, seen the
recent newspaper articles in New-York' BOSTON,
Pitfsburg and Western cities mentioning your
name in connection with the Vice-Presidency
General Porter said: Yes, have read them, ana
I now see a statement put forth that my name IL
being urged and movement in my interest
fostered by Governor McKncy's OHIO friends
/ can say emphaticaly and unreservedly that
have had no communication whatever on this
subject with these gentlemen, and l am quite
confident that Governor Mckinley and his
friends have too much political wisdom to be-
come mixed up in a contest for. the Vice-Presl-
dency when the great and overshadowing ques-
tion is that Of the nomination for the PreSi-
dency. Ny only desire is to see Governor Nc
Kinley triumphantly nominated at ST. Louis
, After that it will be time enough to select
candidate for second place. and the convention
can be safely trusted TO make good cholce from
among the many excellent gentlemen sugges'e"
for the Vice. Presidency.

No Wires Left.

The Western Union Company announced
that because of its inability to keep up its wires
it would be impossible 10 send out any more
messages tonight from st. Louis or its vicinity.
The reports regarding the duration OF the
storm are conflicting. About O'Clock the ope-
rator on the Wabash road, at q small station
not fsir from East 1T. Louis, managed to get
the operator at Decatur, ILL.,, long enough to
seud him word that the roundhouse of the Wa
bash road was blown down and that the
freighthouse of the Vandalla was wrecked and
30 men were killed in the ruins. After he had
told this much the wire failed him.
Shortly after O'Clock the Wabash operator
at Decatur reported to the main dispatchers
office at Forrest, ILL.,, that a cyclone had just
passed through the country to the south OF De-
catur, and it was reported to have done great
damage. In a few minutes be sent word that
a second storm had passed through the coun-
try, almost exactly in the track OF the first and
that he was unable to get any more Informal
ton regarding it, but that it was thought to
have done great damage III the country lying
east of East st. Louis.
The operator on the Alton road was unable
to get any Information from their men in the
neighborhood of St. Louis, but reported that
just before all their connections with that city
were broken off they had received word that
there had been severe cyclone at Rush Hill,
Mo which is a small town on the Alton road
not far from Mexico, Mo.
The dispatcherS office of the Illinois Central
was unable all night to get anv information
from any point on their line south of Centralia.
1t was reported to them, however, that q cy-
clone had swept through all the country south
of that point.
