FATAL CYCLONE IN TRANCE.
The site of n Village Becomes q Scene OF
Appalling Desolation.


Appalling Desolation.
A cyclone swept over the villages OF
Becomes and Columbre, near Paris,
France, Friday afternoon. Houses
collapsed, trees were torn up, tele-
graph wires we're broken, several peo-
pie injured and much general damage
was done.
AT the time the cyclone struck As
nieres, fair was in progress Every
thing was literally demolished. Two
hundred trees were uprooted. The
roof of a fireworks factory was blown
of, tall chimney was blown down and
the boiler exploded, killing several
persons and injuring fifteen, 1t is re-
ported that several persons were kill
ed in cafe. In every direction houses
and.other buildings were more or less
seriously damaged. 1t is estimated
that throughout ths district over which
the Cyclone moved at least twenty per-
sons were killed and ninety wounded.
The whole garrison at Courbevoie,
about five miles northwest of Paris,
went at a double-quick pace to Asni-
eres, after the disaster, where the scene
was one of widespread and appalling
desolaiion. Every booth, van and
merry go-round in the fair was smash
ed, and the circr1ar railway was ruin
ed. Considerable damage was also
done at st. Denis.

APension Decision.

Assistant Secretary Davis. of the in
terror department. has rendered de-
icision that will affect many claims for
pensions. He reversed the action Of
the pension Office in the case of Cath
crime Geronimo widow of soldier in
the Ohio infantry which rejected the
claim for pension because there was no
Proof of the death of the soldier. Ger
onzine left home in July, 1866, since
which time nothing has been heard
from him. The assistant secretary
holds that further inquiry should be
made concerning the man and if moth
ing is thereby developed. throwing adj
ditional light upon the case, death may
be presumed under the act of March
IL, 1895, making seven years absence
from home, without intelligence OF his
existence, sufficient for presumption
Of death.

Cable NAV Not Land.

The president has refused permits

deed anywhere upon the United States

as to the power OF the federal govern

Indians want to Build 4 Monument,

The desire of Sioux Indians to erect
MONUMENT TO their warriors who pars
ticipated in the battle of Wounded
Knee, as reported in a dispatch from
Rapid City, s. D., has not been ofic-
tally communicated to the Washington
authoritieaand pending the receipt of
the petition of the Indians no attention
will be paid to the matter. just what
action will be taken then is only con-
.jectured, though many OF the veterans
in the Indian service think it only
would be just to the Indians, in view
OF the extenuatipg circumstances of the
fight, and as ample token Of recogni-
ton of the valor of the tribe. No sim
liar issuerhas been raised before so far
as the authorities here can recall,
though such means of conimemoration
as stonss, ETC., have been placed on
the battlefield to represent the marches
of some of the Indian leaders. The
attempt to raise substantial shaft, on
the lines of government monuments
already erected, is an idea new in In
dian history and is taken to indicate
greater civilization among the Indians
than was looked for.

The impression is now prevalent in
the senate, even by the friends of
Hawaiian annexation, that the treaty
cannot be ratified at the present ses-
sion. The programme now is that the
treaty will be reported from the COM
mittee and after the tariff bill has pass
ed it will be called up. The senate
will be asked If time for vote can
be fixed and upon objections by the
opponents Of the treaty, its friends
will say they are content to allow it to
lie over until the next session. The
reason for not pressing the treaty, in
the face Of opposition, is that the sem
timent which may be only partially
opposed to the treaty will be crye}al-
lied, which is not desirable. 1t IS also
believed that senators who are now
undecided may. become influenced ia
vorably, after mature deliberation, and
after finding out what the drift of SEN
timent is in their States may suppot 1t.

been instrumental in framing the vari-

remained to be done was the exchange

pose Senior Andrade brought along the
same magnificent golden penholder
with eagle quill and diamond studded
heart that had been used last Feb.

to be preserved as relic. When the
