former vice president, Adlai Steven
son and Gen. Charles Jackson Paine,

RECEIVED WITH INTEREST
WASHINGTON, June SO,-The cable
gram from London yesterday giving
the substance of an article to appear
in the National Review to the effect
that the United States monetary COM
mission, of which Senator Woloott of
| Colorado, is the head, had met with
gratifying success in France, and stat
ing positively that England viii re-
open its Indian minis sad otherwise
contribute to an extended use of silver,
was read with interest by the govern
ment officials. They had known that
( the commission was very cordially re-
ceived in France, and that the commits
Eioners were greatly encouraged by the
strong and apparently increasing sill
yer sentiment in that country, as the
president not long since received from
Senator Wolcott a letter to this effect.
The statement that England is ready
] to Join in the movement to the extent
I of reopenlng her Indian minis is re-
eeived with many doubts, a copy of
the cablegram was shown to the presi-
dent and to Secretary Gage, but
neither of them cared to express any
4 opinion on it beyond the statement chat
they feared the Review article was
| overdrawn.

that she has done enough, Her devo-

IMMENSE HAILSTONES.
Capital City Of Kansas Visited by a Ter
rIble Bombardmeht
Horses are Struck Down In the Street,
Many People Injured ana Property
DestrOyed-Cyclons Near sslina
Kills Three Persons.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 25.-As the re.
suit of a most terrific downpour of hail
Kansas has ever known scores Of
people in Topeka and vicinity were in
jured yesterday evening, some OF them
fatally; every slylight and most Of
the windows in the city are broken;
stores and homes are flooded; crops Of
all kinds have suffered heavily, and
other property damaged. Owing to
the fact that the storm extended over
most Of Shawnee county it is itnpos,
sibls to give anything like complete
list of the injured or an accurate esti=
mate Of the damage done,
The storm began at $50 in the even-
ing and lasted Is minutes. Black,
6min0us clouds in the northwest pre-
pared the people for heavy rain, and
possibly a destructive blow, but the
eannonade Of immense hailstones was
as unexpected as it was destructive.
Every stone that fell was as large as
a baseball, and many were much
larger, and measured u inches
in circumference and weighed from 70
to 18 ounces. The hailstones rebound
ed from the asphalt pavement to
height of 90 feet Such a downpour
created the widest CONSERVATION inns
aginable. Panic=stricken people rushed
peli NELL for shelter; frightened birds
that few from their nests fell in
great humbersi dogs struck by the
hailstoIes were killed outright;
horses knocked down arose only to
break away, regardless of the strength
of their fastenings, and ran in one
great stampede without regardto their
course, falling in heaps in the street,
breaking away as best they could, in
creasing their speed every time they
were hit. Above all was the sound Of
breaking glass as skylights, show win
dows and street lamps were smashed
as though riddled by grape and can
lister, creating a din that was appalling.

DEBATE ON LEAD
The Senate Disposes Of the Para
graph Relating to Lead.
FOR THE CONTROL OF TRUSTS.
An Amendment to the Tariff BIN to Make
Monopoly OF Protected Articles
Crims-senstOr PettigreW
Well Again.

WASHINGTON, June 80. After tedi-
GUS consideration of the tariff bill yes
terday, the senate wound up with a
half hour of lively and amusing colo
guy between Senators Tillman, OF
South Carolina, and Chandler. of New
Hampshire, The former had proposed
an amendment to the tariff bill, pro
Viding a 500 head tax on immigrants
and restriction against all those not
coming to the United States to become
citizens. Mr.. Tiliman made an ear.
nest speech on the depressed condition
of labor, but he was soon diverted
from his theme by Mr.. Chandler.
The latter, adopting a style of
mock gravity, directed the discus.
sion toward Mr.. CleVeland's administra-
ton. This, in time, brought from Mr..
Tillman a vehement criticism of the
late president, while Mr.. Chandler
protested against the assaults on Mr..
Cleveland by member of his own
party. The Tillman amendments were
defeated-yeas, g; nays, As; the three
affirmative votes being cast by Messrs.
Butler, Quay and Tillman. During
the day the senate disposed of the lead
paragraphs, the committee rate Of *
cents per pound on lead ore being
agreed to-3O to 3d.
Mr.. Vest said this was a conflict be-
tween the lead smelters and the lead
mines and both interests were heavily
represented in his state. But his vote
would be cast in behalf of the con-
sumner, and not for either of these con-
hicting interests. If his state expected
these interests to be defended as
against those of the people, the great
mass Of consumers of lead, then some
one must take his place here. He
would not give vote, even though
two-thirds of the people of Missouri
were here asking it, if it violated his
ideas of justice and equity. Mr.. Vest
said he would move later on to reduce
the duty on lead ore from y cents to
q cents pound, although he would
be glad to go further and see it on the
free list. The committee rates were
then agreed to. On pig lead the rate
was increased from 2 cents to ~ cents
a pound, the duty of ~ cents on lead
in sheets, etc, being retained,
FOR THE CONTROL OF TRUSTS.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The repub-
lican members of the senate commit
tee on Judiciary yesterday had under
consideration the form of an amend
ment to be submitted for the control
Of trusts, They practically agreed
upon an amendment making it an of
tense, punishable by fine and impris-
onment, for any person or corporation
to monopolize or conspire with any
other person or corporation to monop-
Dlize trade in any article protected by
the tariff bill. The amendment when
completed will prescribe penalties and
supply directions for the detection of
fraud. The preparation of the amend
ment has been referred to a sub-com-
mittee consisting of Messrs. Thurston,
Davis and spooner.
