more tornadoes. They occur In the Gulf
States only In winter, N rarely. The
northern parts Of Wisconsin, Minnesota
and North Dakota seldom see a tornado,
but the great valley south Of these favored
arens often suffers from these calamities in
the spring and summer months, as far south
as Oklahoma. The Atlantic slope receives
an occasional visitation, but vast areas OF
the eastern part of the country, as far as we
know, have never seen a tornado
There can be no relation between the
number Of tornadoes and the amount Of
damage they do. Many Of them do not de-
stroy life or very much property because
there happens to be little or nothing In
their way to destroy. There were "a tor
nadoes In 1891 and the same number
in the first six months Of 1896. But In
1901 the property loss was only about
$1S5, 900, while in the first half OF last
year 1t was estimated at over $14, 00o, 900.
In 1901 no important town suffered. while
In 1896 atornado ploughed Its way through
the city Of st. Louis.
Any one who makes q rough estimate Of
the loss of life by tornadoes is very likely
to name too high n figure. Statistics show
that only about 1,4O0 persons have been
killed by these calamities within the past
eight years, including the great disasters at
Louisville with 70, and st. Louis with 800
victims. A large part Of our tornadoes ex-
pend their violence In sparsely peopled dis
tricts. In the States where they are fire.
quent the only way to minimize the danger
seems to be to multiply tornado caves.
Underground apartments, specially pre-
pared for such v~isitations, are worth q for
u n when the crisis comes, and induce q
comfortable feeling at all other times.

Oklahoma leads the procession In this

wiped out the town of Chandler on Tuesday
night inflicted appalling loss and suffer
ing. We are likely to hear of many lorna
does In our wide domain within the next
five months, but we need not expect many
with results 80 tragical. Not one in ten or
fifteen of the 2Os tornadoes recorded by
our Weather Bureau from 1889 to June
80 last year killed and MANNED SO many
persons.
In the past eight years we have had 81
tornadoes in April, AZ In May, 81 in June,

The Senate finished the melancholy proc
ess of amending the olney-P auncefote
treaty yesterday; that is to say, the process
OF taking the mischief and the danger out
of that la%boriously prepared instrument.
While q majority can amend, q two
thirds vote is required for ratification when
It comes to the main question. The several
votes on the moro important amendments
show conclusively that there has never been
any more chance of the adoption Of this
treaty In it's original form than there is of
q cession of Bar Harbor to Great Britain
for q naval station. For example, on tho
Hoar amendment offered on Wednesday,
only thirteen Senators Of the United States
voted against the proposition to withhold
from arbitration, except by special agree
ment. all differences which In the opinion
of either Power affect materially its honor
or it's domestic or foreign policy to with
hold, likewise, from arbitration all ques-
lions concerning the vitality or ~interpreta-
tion of previous treaties, the C~layton-Bul-
wer treaty, for instance and, finally, to sub
ject all agreements under the arbitration
system to q two-thirds vote Of the Senate
before they become binding on the nation.
The thirteen gentlemen who opposed this
radical and destructive amendment may be
regarded as constituting the entire strength
which the arbitration programme of Mr..
CLEVELAND and Mr.. OLNEY can muster in
the Senate. Thirteen Senators, when sixty
were needed to ratifyl
The one further change required to ami
hilate the Olney-P auncefote conception of a
standing tribunal, was adopted in one Of
the amendments which MI. FORAKER sub
mitted. This constitutes q separate tri-
bunal for every case tried, the arbitrators
on the part Of the United States to be
nominated by tho President and confirmed
by the Senate.
As now left for the final vote on ~ratifica-
tion or rejection, the Olney-P auncefote
treaty is practically nothing more than q
declaration, in treaty form, that the United
States will in the future arbitrate with
Great Britain whenever It Is disposed so to
do. AS has always been the case hereto
fore, we can have arbitration at any time,
provided that on both sides the disposition
to arbitrate exists.
It makes little difference whether the
disembowelled treaty is now ratified or re-
jected. The danger has been taken out Of
~, tuoilhb u VIC o1uAuy V>oith
common sense of the United States Senate,
and to the patriotic resistance by individual
Senators Of the clamor of a certain public
sentiment, or sentimentality, as inconsid-
crate and short-sighted as 1t was we'll
meaning. The danger is gone, and only the
humbug remains.
1t makes little difference, we say, but the
fact remains that the most decent and dec
orous proceeding is to bury what Is left Of
the thing. The cause Of white-winged
peace, always desirable as a national bless
ing, but never the first consideration of ma
tional duty, will in no way suffer thereby.

WOMEN ASSAULT DEPUTIES.
the Attempted Evictlons at ORANGE
VINO SncceasfnlIv ResIsted.

I'ittsburg Sept s.-The efforts to
evict the striking miners of the Pitts
burg and Chicago Gas Coal company
at Orangeville one and a half miles
from Gastonville, resulted in a riot
of no mean proportions and the utter
failure on the part of the company
to accomplish its object
5. hen the 20 deputies reached Finley
vile they were met by a large crowd
of strikers and their friends. Each
deputy was armed with a Winchester
rifle and a revolver, but in spite Of
this the strikers, headed by hundred
Polish women, closed in on them and
the deputies received rough treatment.
They were gradually forced back, and
finally retreated to Gastonvllle, where
they were followed by a crowd Of about
200 men and women. At Gastonville the
deputies took refuge in the Office Of
the company, where they were kept all
night, during which the building was
bombarded with stones and bricks, and
an occasional shot was fired.
When the deputies sailed out from
their besieged quarters and started to
march to Orangeville in the morning
each one carried his winchester in his
hands and his revolver exposed, but
these had no terrors for the strikers.
Headed by the same women the strilSe
ers rushed on the deputies with stones,
clubs and pick handles, and blows fell
thick and "0~t One of the big women
wrest~' 'he rifle from a deputy's hands
and struck him on the head with 1t,
inficting serious injury By this time
a thousand men, women and children
had Joined the crowd.
The deputies slowly made their way
to Orangeville where they took refuge
in a vacant house, closely followed by
the mob which quickly surrounded the
building and theatened to burn 1t. FL
nally a conference was held the depu-
! ties were ordered to leave town, and
after a short parley decided to do so.
After their departure the mob dispers-
| ed. The officials of the company say
no further attempt will be made to
evict the miners for the present.
