ONE DAY OF DISTRESS
ROWLING GALE MAKES CHI

Much Damage Done, and n Fierce
Fire Threatens More-Forces of the
Mosiem Ruier Grappie with the
Armies of King George of Greece.



A furious gale swept across Chicago
Sunday from dawn to shutdown, and made
the day a season of fires, accidents and
wholesale distress. Plate glass windows
were blown in, signs were wrenched off
and hurled into streets, bill boards were
fattened, and the eyes of hundreds of
pedestrians We're filledwith what felt like
pieces of paving stone and telegraph pole
splinters. The wind blew with velocity
of sixty-eight miles an hour. Fires added
their share TO the destruction. One blaze
at Stony Island avenue and 10Th street,
driven by the wind, burned up property
to the amount of $4,000, injured five
firemen, and startled the entire district.
Three men were seriously injured by the
falling of great signboard from the
south end of Siegel, Cooper x Co.'S build
ing. The life saving crews were called
upon once and again to rescue boats from
sinking. Druggists and oculists were in
demand on behalf of eyes burdened with
bits of sand. Many buildings, considered
substantial, rocked perceptibly in the gale.

Chicago concern IL Forced TO Give U
the Struggle for Existence:
The Globe Savings Bank Of Chicago
suspended Monday morning. A notice on
the doors announced that the bank WAS In
the hands of the Chicago Title and Trust
Company, assignee. 1t has been known
In Chicago financial circles for some time
past that the bank was having anything
but smooth sailing. 1t was organized
Dec. "a. 1890, and has therefore expert
enced but two good years In Ito existence.
John p. Altgeld was Its first vice-presi-
dent at that time, but he resigned. For
the last five years 1t has had decidedly
hard time. passing through two panics
safely by availing itself of the time clause
in the payment of savings accounts; which
formed the bulk of the deposits. The bank
has a capital stock of 100000, which IL
held In the ratio of three-fifths In the
West and the balance In the East. Under
the laws of the State the stockholders are
liable for an additional amount equal to
the face value of the stock held In their
names. This practically makes a guar
antee fund Of 100000, provided II can
be collected from the stockholders. The
State Auditor at q recent examination OF
the banks affairs ordered an assessment
of 30 per cent on the stockholders, In or
der to raise a surplus, and notices of this
assessment were sent out on the 18th OF
March. This becoming known, a run was
started and the end FASTENED. The last
statement to the Auditor showed $4,000
savings and $142. 900 individual deposits.
The suspension created no sensation, but
there were few angry depositors around
the bank. who had made deposits just be-
fore noon on Saturday.

century be permitted to carry on war up
ON principles utterly Mt variance with

been served on the Spanish Government
Informally as vet, but still In unmistaka-
BILE terms-that this Government recog-
nizes state of civil war on the island or
Cuba which demands treatment OF pris-
oners taken In action by either side some
what different from that which seems to
have been accorded to them thus far. The
immediate cause of this notice being serv-
ed on the Spanish Government was, OF
course. the capture of the Cuban general
Rivera and the report that he would be
forthwith tried by drum-head court mar
tial and shot. The President, immedi-
ately after the news of the fate in store
for the prisoner was received, directed
Secretary Sherman to draw. up protest
against the contemplated action of Cap
tain General Weyler. Upon second con-
sideration, however, the protest took
less formal shape. Instead of being de-
livered to the Spanish minister in writ
ing, Senior de LONE was sent for by the
Secretary of State and informed as to the
views of the Government in the matter.
This verbal protest, 1t is safe to assume,
was no less explicit than that which Sec
rotary Sherman had previously drafted.
At any rate, it had its effect. for Gen.
Rivera is still living.

INVADE MACEDONIA.
Greeks Commit the First Overt Act
Act of War.


Act of War.
On Saturday body of 5000 Greek vol
unteers posted at the Macedonian frontier,
opposed to a larger Turkish force, ad-
vanced into the enemies territory without
orders from the Government at Athens.
King George is said to be trying strenu-
ously to avert war, but so far there is no
disavowal of the act of invasion. The
Turkish authorities are alive to the situa-
ton, and are making mighty efforts to
concentrate force TO oppose the advance
of the Greeks. The plan of the insur-
gents was to occupy Baltino. on the from
tier of Macedonia, in order to prevent the
Turks from taking up more advanced
position. Directly the Greeks crossed the
frontier their leaders issued proclama-
ton calling upon the Macedonians and
Epirotes to rise for freedom. A special
dispatch Monday from Trikhala says the
Turkish garrison of Baitino, numbering
about eight hundred men, which was be-
sieged by the Greek insurgents, has cut
its way through the Greeks, with loss OF
thirty men killed. The fighting was stub
born. 1t was only at the fourth attempt
that the Turks were able to issue from
their barracks. The insurgents, the spe-
cial dispatch further states, continued
their march into Macedonia and have cap
tured the town of Krania. They pursued
the Turks close to Cipria, which Is only
two hours distant from Grevena.

The Legislative Grind.


The Senate met at noon Monday for the
first time since the death of ex-senator
voorhees,. who, until a recent day. was a
conspicuous member Of the body. The
opening prayer of Rev. DIR. Milburn. the
blind chaplain. made eloquent reference
to Mr.. Voorhees, brilliant talents, impas-
stoned ardor. kindling eloquence, genuine
patriotism and the unselfish dedication of
his great powers to every cause, human
and divine. which enlisted bis career. Di-
vine consolation was invoked for the fam
lily Of the man who had inscribed his name
on the tablets which perpetuate the great
orators and statesmen Of his generation.
Immediately following the prayer Mr..
German of Maryland moved that as a
mark Of respect to their late associate the
Senate adjourn. adding that many SEN
ators desired to attend the funeral. The
motion prevailed. The House did nothing.
Mr.. Morgan completed his Cuban speech
In the Senate Tuesday. and consideration
Of the bankruptcy bill was resumed. SEN
ator Chandler introduced his bills empow-
ering the Secretary of the Navy to take
possession of the armor plants of the
Bethlehem and the Carnegie companies.
The House did nothing.
In the Senate Wednesday Mr.. Vest of
fered a resolution in the nature of a criti-
cism of Secretary Gage and declared
Illegal his recent order relative TO goods
imported after April /, when, according
to the retroactive clause of the pending
bill, the new tariff rates are TO apply.
Mr.. Morrill, moved to refer the resolution,
and the debate and vote following was
the first indication of the strength of the
tariff supporters. The motion prevailed,
"a to %. Two Senators were absent,
both Populists, whose positions upon the
question are in doubt. The affirmative
vote was given by Republicans, including
one silver Republican, Mr.. Mantle of
Montana. The negative vote was made
up of Democrats, Populists and two sill
yer Republicans, Pettigrew of South Da-
kota and Cannon of Utah. The President
sent message to Congress urging ii to
make suitable provision for adequate rep
resentation of the United States at the
Paris exposition. The House was in ses-
sion but ten minutes. and then adjourned
until Saturday without transacting any
business.
The Senate spent Thursday considering
the Indian appropriation bill, but did not
cohiPiete IL. I>arly III tue sesslon the pro-
ceedings were made executive, and when
the doors were again opened to the pub
lie the Indian bill came up. The pending
question was on the committee amend
ment opening the Uncompahgre Indian
observation in Utah to public entry. Mr..
Jones of Arkansas withdrew the point of
order he had made and on a yea and nay
vote the amendment was agreed to-33 to
ID. A number of recent appointments
were confirmed, and the Senate adjourn
ed until Monday at 5 o'clock. The House
did nothing.

OPEN WAR DECLARED.
Greeks and Turks Meet in Deadly
Conflict.

The forces of Greece and Turkey have
met in relentless and bloody conflict. The
boom of cannon and rattle of musketry
are heard along the entire frontier. Many
thousands of men engaged Saturday and
Sunday in the awful contest and fought
like demons. The iercest battle occurred
at Milouna Pass, where both sides lost
heavily. Three Greek officers of high
rank are among the killed, but Turkish
battery was taken by the Greeks. Diplo-
matte relations between the two nations
are formally and completely severed. The
Greek gunboats bombarded and reduced
the forts Prevesa, and King Georges
troops held their own on land. Greek
subjects at Constantinople will probably
find safety at the American legation.
Neither Greece nor Turkey actually de-
clared war; but the Sultan officially an
nounced that 'war had broken out" thus
seeking to throw the blame for actual
commencement of hostilities upon the
Greeks

Crest of Flood Approaching.

Each day adds few inches to the Mis-

pected crest of the food wave will reach
New Orleans IN a few days. Meantime
anxiety is increasing all along the line,

terrific attack and nearly succumbed,
but relief was prompt. Just below New
Orleans three weak spots are reported al
most in row-one in st. Charles Parish
and the other two at Hanson City and

latter two points would involve consid-

levee just above the city, reaching clear
across from the river to the lake, so that
the water would run into the latter body.
The city is protected in the lake by cost

is on the opposite bank of the river, just
below the city, but large forces have been
at work there for three days and nights.

vase, just above the Gretna, is also show

creasing daily. but that is only an incen-
tive for harder work, and the Louisiana

~u Thrown Into the River.

A distressing accident took place ten
miles west of Helena, Ark, resulting in
the drowning of family of seven negroes.
Sylvester Sanders, a tenant on the Joel
Higgins farm, where the current has been
so swift as to threaten the destruction OF
the houses, left with his family, wife and
FIVE children, for high ground. Unfor-
tunately he took into his fat boat large
bull, which he valued highly. When near
the Calicott place and within mile of
the hills, the bull, which was almost fam
ished, attempted to eat the small limbs
of the willow trees through which the
boat was being laboriously pushed. The
animals action tipped the boat and fright
ened the inmates, who made frantic eff
forts to right it. In the excitement the
animal kicked the side of the boat to
pieces and the entire family was drowned.
Some negroes saw them, but were unable
to render assistance.

NEW PLAN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Rubbish Gathered by Pupils to C1othe
the Poor Children.

Consul German, in a report to the State
Department from Zurich, in regard to a
plan recently introduced in the public
schools of several European cities, says:
In Brussels the children attending public
schools were requested by their teachers
to gather up. on their way to and from
the school. all such apparently valueless
objects as old metallic bottle caps, tin
foil, tin cans, paint tubes, refuse metal,
etc., and deliver their collection daily to
their respective teachers. In the period
from Jan. 1 TO Oct. I, 1895, or within
eight months, the following amounts were
collected: Tin foil, 1925 pounds; old
paint tubes. go pounds; bottle capsules.
4,415 pounds, scraps Of metal, 1,221
pounds; total, 1871 pounds. This appar-
ent rubbish was disposed of and the pro-
ceeds applied so as TO completely clothe
500 poor children and send ninety sick
ones to recuperation colonies, and there
still remained quite balance, which was
distributed among the poor sick of the
city.

proclamation. Chief interest in Indian
apolis attaches to the Scent street car
fare. The Citizens Street Railway Com
pany had given no instructions to conduc-

a decision is reached in the Federal Court,
where test case is under argument. On

n young woman off the car by force when
she declined to pay more than 3 cents.
Other conductors have accepted cents
and say they will pay 2 cents additional
out of their own wages rather than have
a row. The law provides heavy penalty
where more than cents fare is collected.

Over two hundred thousand people COOP

starvation in the face. Of this number
at least 5000 are American citizens who
were engaged in peaceful pursuits in the
interior. Weyler's orders to concentrate
the rural population in small towns is the
cause of all this misery. The people have
no money to buy food or pay rent, and
live in bark houses in the alleyways,
