fact that a greater amount of University of Illinois funds is involved in the sus- pension of the bank than has been sup posed.E Two years ago the state legisla- ture appropriated $423, 3,0O0, of which, ac- cording to the state laws enough was to be drawn out monthly to meet the cur rent expenses of the university It ap- pears. however that in consideration of 22 per cent. interest on the funds, the university trustees allowed Treasurer Spaulding to withdraw the whole sum from the treasury. This is admitted by members of the board. Thus are not only $400,000 worth of school bonds missing but 900 in cash is tied up, total of $S23, 900.
 To add to the complications, 1t is said that should President Spaulding be un- able to account for the funds, his bonds men will refuse to be held responsible, their defense being that a private. deal Of that kind between the university board. the state treasury officials and Treasurer Spaulding is sufficient cause to release them from their obliga tions.
 Gross cnrelessness is charged on the part of the university officials during the latter part of MT Spauldings term as treasurer of the Institution. It is said his accounts have not been audited for over two years. His term expired the lSt Of March. Nothing definite as to MT. Spaulding's accounts with the uni versity can be ascertained until next IueSQay.5s7i3"a1 tf+F-

Went the Cyclone, Which Visited Dale County, This State--Great Damage e'lt6 Done, and More Expected
 to Be Heard

Albany, Ga, April 9.-The cyclone that swept info Ozark, Ala, came across the country at but little decreased speed and swooped down upon Valdosta and the surrounding section, smashing down out houses and lifting the roofs of the more substantial buildings and snapping great trees in two.
 It was in this same part of the state, south of Macon, Ga, that the fearful cyclone of few. weeks ago passed through, killing nine school children. The damage about Valdosta is estima ted at no. less than s1O0O0, and it Is expected that there will be a report of fatalities.
 In Baker county the storm struck O building used for cattle and killed five mules and injured fifteen. It also smashed a negro house, and squad of men were three hours releasing the im- prisoned trio of Philippians. They were severely hurt. This was on Primus Jones' plantation On the next planta- tion according to a dispatch received at midnight by the Constitution, a plank was blown through the house, tearing down the walls, and tin pan was turned inside out. Two negroes were also in- jured.
 There was a storm general throughout the south early this morning, and fur ther reports are expected to increase the damage and add a death list.

 Washington, D. C., April 9.--The state department continues to deny the report that the German government has sub- mftted- a protest against the tariff bill, but. whether 1t has been received or not it is known definitely that such protest has been forwarded by the German am- bassador, Baron Von Thielman, acting on cable instructions from Berlin These in- structions were received early this week and the ambassador promptly submitted the protest The protest follows the gen. eral lines of that of August 28, 1894, pre- scented by Baron Saurma, the then Ger man Ambassador, to Secretary Gresham, respecting discriminating sugar duties in the.Wilson bill.
 frhe essential ground of protest is that fin August 1891, Secretary of State Foster and the German charge d'affaires, MT. Von Mumm, entered into an agreement at Saratoga, N. T., providing that im- portations of American pork into Ger
