Spanish fear to act in manner to create
feeling against them in the United

the town OF Chandler, completely sweep

came from the southwest and swept across
the town, leaving scarcely a building oil
any Importance standing. Everything
was mass OF ruins in few min utes. and
the air was filed with groans and cries OF
the wounded and sbrieks from every side.
The wrecks of many of the store build
ings took fire. and In short time an
awful holocaust was in progress many OF
those injured and buried in the ruins
being burned to death. Fire broke out
first in the ruins of the New York store
and Lincoln County Bank, and spread to
many other buildings, making it neces-
sary to fight the flames as well as rescue

Ihe storm broke upon the city suddenly.
The sky was clear an hour before. The
clouds started southeast and then vhirled
north. Suddenly a funnei-sha ped cloud
was developed, which touched the ground
and tore up trees like twigs, the roar be-
ing deafening. A cloudburst preceded it.

LONDON ENG, March 31.-The del bate
on the moiion introduced in the House OF
Common by Hon. Edward Blake (Na-

Irish tai rate, was continued in the House
to-day. The motion was supported by
Thomss Lough (Liberal) and opposed by
II. O. Arnold Forster (Unionist).
Right Hon. John Morley, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland in the Rosebery Ministry,
then took the floor and spoke in favor OF
the motion, saying in the course of his
speech that besides suffering from local
DEPRESSION Ireland had also suffered from
the oppression of the landlords, but the
latter had been stopped by Mr.. Gladstone.
Mr. Blake's motion was finally rejected by
vote OF BIT to 157.
The motion introduced by Thomas F.
Whitaker (LiberaD that while the ex-
caequers of Great Britain and Ireland
remained consolidated all portions of the
United Kingdom must be regarded as one
country for fiscal purposes, was not voted
upon, the House adjourning before a vote

Right Hon. George J. Goschen, Lord OF
the Admiralty, contenued that the rate oi
taxation in Ireland did not press any
heavier upon the poor in that island than
the English taxation did upon the poor in
London or elsewhere.
Nevertheless. he said, he could not &C.
cept Mr.. Whittaker's amendment because
a Government com mission was already
appointed to inquire into the question
whether payments in Ireland for local
purposes could not be treated as offsetting
