ing out to look around, beheld dark
cloud we'll fringed with electricity moving
rapidly in the direction OF the school. HIS
trained eye at once told him there was
danger. Hurrying the children into the
building for safety, the roaring of the COM
ing cyclone was upon them before they
had time to think. The storm gained in
strength and velocity, and the building
began to shake and careen as if rocked in
the arms of mighty force. The building
was wrenched into fragments so that the
pieces fell inward, and among the first
struck was Claude Roberts and Alice Put
nam, who were knocked into insensibility
of death at the first blow.
Little Willie McMurra had been caught
under the heavy timber and the life was
crushed out of him. Kenneth Boynton

debates are not the attraction they once
we're in the halls of Congress. When
Speaker Reed called the House of Repre-
sentatives to order to-day much less than
half the me mbers were in their seats and
only sprinkling of visitors was seen in
the galleries. The Speaker said: "Pur-
suant to the order adopted, the House
will now resolve itself into committee of
the whole for consideration of tariff bill
No. 379, and the chair will appoint the
gentleman from New York, Sherman,
chairman of the committee"
Sherman took the chair and directed
the clerk to read the bill in extenso. which
occupied two hours. reducing by that
much the period for the debate.
The reading of the bill closed at 1920
o'clock. and then Dingley of Maine, chair
man of the Committee on Ways and
Means, proceeded to address the House in
support of the measure. He spoke as fol.
lows:
Congress has been convened in extraordl-
nary session by the President for the purpose
of providing adequate revenue for carrying
on The Government. The exigency which has
brought us here is so clearly tated in the
in the report OF the Committee on Ways and
Means submitting the pending revision of
tariff for the consideration of the House that 1
need not detain you repeating the story SO
completely within your own knowledge. The
salient facts are these:
/. In the four fiscal years commencing July
/, 1898, and closing on June 80 next, the reve-
nue. of the Government has been insufficient
to meet the expenditures to the extent of more
than 5000 600, 600, or on an average of 500.
OOO, 900 per annum.
2. The late Secretary of the Treasury, il his
late annual report, estimates Jh at under exist
ing conditions this deficiency will continue
and will reach $45, 900 more the next
fiscal year.
8. This deficiency of $500, 600, 900 up to the
close of the present fiscal year has been met by
borrowing. That is of the 1928 500, 900
realized from the sale of 262, 333, 900 dollars
worth OF bonds sold in the last administration,

TAKEN SUNDAY.
Captain Lees Tells How the Muir.
derer Was Tracked to the
Lone Star State.

If any doubt existed in the mind of
Captain Lees that Arthur Forbes, the
schoolteacher at Kopperl, Texas, now in
iail at Meridian, Texas, was josef E.
Blanther, the cold blooded murderer OF
Mrs. Philopena Langfeldt. it was entirely
removed yesterday morning by the re-
ceipt OF letter from W. A. Boyd, Sheriff
of Bosque County.
1nclosed in the letter was note written
by Arthur Forbes on February with the
object OF showing the captain the hand
writing of the suspect. The note reads as
follows:
K0PPERL, Feb. 1, 1S97.-Mr. p P. Greer,
Meridian, IeJds-MY DEAR SIR: l forward by
evening mail my report TO the county Judge
and take again the liberty of asking the favor
OF you 10 kindly collect the voucher for me at
the bank and TO send me the money by ex-
press.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness,
beg to subscribe faithfully yours,
ARTHUR FORBES.
The captain, on looking at the hand
writing, was at once convinced that the
writer was Blanther. There were the same
characteristics as in the writings of Blan-
ther in the captains possession and IN the
letter written by Banther to the Chron-
icIe IN May last. The formation of the
capital STU and "F ~ the small IS" the
popularity OF putting a dot and dash at
the end of a sentence, and the general
character of the letter led irresistibly to
the conclusion that Arthur Forbes was
Blanther. There is a marked resemblance
also IN the name "Forbes," as written on
the ticket purchased by Blanther for FL
Paso and in the note to P. P. Greer re-
ferred to.
Bianther's attempt to end his life by
swallowing a dose of morphine in the
Meridian jail Sunday morning was not
successful. Captain Lees yesterday morn
ing received the following dispatch, which
was the first official information sent him
OF the attempted suicide

5. This deficiency of revenue has nearly
ali risen from a falling off of revenue from
various imports, and not from a decline OF
revenue from in ternal taxes Since the result
of the National elections in November, 1892,
first torecasting and subsequently partially
accomplishing revolutionary change OF tariff
policy began to arrest industries. In the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1892, the revenue de-
rived from the duties on imports was $685.

Now that Captain Lees is satisfied that
Forbes is Blanther he feels inclined to
speak of the incidents that led up to his
arrest.
After Blanther left Fl Paso during his
flight from this City he was recognized by
a detective at Fort Worth, who travelled
with him for two or three hours over the
Texas and Pacific road. At that time no

list of dead will be doubled. This is the
most shocking disaster which has ever
occurred in this section.
Blakeley, Ga, was struck by a severe
storm this morning that did enormous
damage and cost several lives. The chaos
caused by the storm still exists, and dur
ing the confusion nothing can be de-
fnitely learned as to the amount of dam

several are killed and many more severely

They Were Greatly Pleased With th'
County Hospital.

There are quite a large number OF
Supervisors from various counties now
sojourning in this city, most of them
being interested in pending legislation
affecting their counties.
Yesterday Chairman jenkins and
Messrs. Morrison and Dreman of the
Sacramento board rounded up a dozen
or so of the visitors and took them out
to see the County Hospital, an institu-
ton in which Sacramento takes con-
siderable pride. The party consisted of
the entire Santa Clara board. Paul
Austin, G.. E. Rea, Samuel Aver, John
Roll and Fred Stern; j. Linscott, Jo-
seph Enright and G. G. Radchf of
Santa Cruz; A. S. Holbrook of San
Bernardino, j. H. Snow of Siskiyou
and H. Church of Alameda. j. Bur-
nett of San Francisco and George D.
Koen of San Mateo also went along,
but they are not Supervisors.

tendent. was taken by surprise, he en-
tertainad the visitors in a very hand

ly the Santa Clara members-are from
counties whose people think they have
about the best of everything, but the
visitors all agreed that Sacramento
can afford to be proud of her County
Hospital even If she cannot boast of
her Courthouse. Dr.. Whites manage
nent of the hospital also came in for
warm praise.
