CYCLONE IN
Many Lives Lost and the Property Dam
Was Immense.

GUTHRIE, April 29.-A terrible flood
from the Cottonwood river suddenly
engulfed West Guthrie shortly after
sunrise. The Cottonwood, scarcely
mor than forty feet: wide ordinarily,
winds with many curve through West
Guthrie, which lies on a level with the
valley of the river. At C o'clock am,
the river began to rise as if by magic
and jumped four feet in thirty min
utes and was o a raging sea half a
mile wide, sweeping across the valley
carrying houses, barns and fences on
the crest. Every movable thing was
swept before the wave, which passed
on into the valley with resistless force,
wreaking terrible destruction to life
and property wherever it reached.
Dozens of human lives are known to
have been sacrificed, show many may
not be known for weeks: hundreds of
houses were wrecked in the twinkling
of an eye; for miles farms were washed
out, and railroad traffic in every direc-
ton is at a standstill. 1t is confident
ly asserted that all of fifty lives have
been lost and many claim the list will
be made longer. Fully two-thirds of
the victims are colored people.
Ell RENO, o. T., April GA small
sized cyclone, accompanied by a
cloudburst, did much damage here.
Many houses were washed away in
towns adjacent to Ell Reno and several
lives were lost.
WICHITA, Kan, April 3o.-A Guthrie
special says: The river is still bank
full, but has receded in most of the
inundated districts. Missing people
have been found clinging to bushes
and driftwood down the stream, or
scattered in farm houses for miles, so
it is now believed that the death list
will not exceed twenty-five, most of
them being drowned in the main
channel during the first rush of the
waters. Five hundred homes We're
swept away and the contents ruined,
and twenty streets devastated and
ruined.

POLITICS IN THE SENATE.

No Party Has a Majority of the Votes.
WASHINGTON, April 3o.-The election
OF Deboe, of Kentucky, makes the
total membership of the senate IS,
composed of 43 republicans, 33 dem
%ocrats, and 10 populists and silver
republicans. With Kyle the repub-
licans would have forty-four, u tie.
and with the vice-president a majority
of one. 1t is believed, however, that
in case a party vote was imminent or
probable that an election would occur
in Florida, leaving the senate standing
as before Deboe's election. Besides, a
party vote would mean a long debate,
giving the Florida democrats time to
get together.
