Great Damage to Live Stock

DULUTH, July z. - Dispatches 70
ceived at railroad offices here say that

On the 500 line, seven miles from Glen.
wood, on the Northern Pacific railroad.
Particulars are meager, but it is learned
that the cyclone travelled from south.
west to northeast, and that, the little
town of Lowry was right in the track Of
the cloud. A second, report is that
seven persons were killed and many in.
jured, while still another report is that
10 were killed. Reports from the sur
rounding country are that great dam
age was done to live stock and standing
grain. Practically everything in the
path of the storm is ruined.
Evidences of the cyclonic cloud were
seen in Duluth about o'clock. The
sky was overcast with clouds that cir
cled as they moved rapidly northeast,
and there was a yellow cast that was
ascribed to the sun penetrating through
them. People looked in wonder on the
scene, but nobody ascribcd the condi.
lions to a cyclone. The clouds moved
high in the air and circled with q
perfectly steady motion.

SAN FRANCISCO, July - United
States Circuit Judge Morrow has rem
dered a decision in the. famous Blythe
case which was in the nature of a sur
prise. He ordered a decree entered in
favor of the English Blythe claimants,
and in his findings made several rulings
which are in direct conflict with those
of the state courts. Among other things
it is held that Florence Blythe was born
an illegitimate child in 1873 when he,
progenitors were subject to'Great Brit
ain. Under this ruling it is considered
very probable that Mrs. Florence Blythe
Hinckley will lose the property which
she has fought SO hard and bitterly dur
ing the past 10 years to obtain.

P1TTsBuRa. July 1.-The strike order
VI the national executive board of the
United Mine Workers Of America was
obeyed by from 10000 to $1,000 of the
$1,000 miners in the Fttsburg district.
The great struggle is now on in earnest
and the developments Of the next few
days will determine the success or fail.
ure of the fight for uniform mining
rate. Pittsburg is the pivotal point in
the five states engaged in the contest,
and the success of the local officials in
their efforts to secure general suspen-
sion in this district will have an inn
portant bearing on the outcome Of the
movement. While it is estimated that
at least two.thirds Of the miners have
thrown down their picks, enough men
are still at work, however, to
Seriously Impair Their Chances
unless they can ultimately be brought
out. This President Dolan confidently
claims can be done. The operators, on
the other hand, are in no wise discon-
certed, and assert that the strike can
rot succeed. The first break in the op-
orators ranks was made during the
afternoon by J. w. Steen of the O. ]. G.
-aines at Rossville. The diggers refused
to work and the mine was closed down,
but notice was posted that the 69'cent
rate would be paid.
It is not likely that the officials will
allow the men to work until majority
of operators have agreed to the miners
demands.
West Virginia Miners Working.
In West. Virginia the miners have
been slow in responding to the strike
order and general shutdown is not
probable. The men are not organized,
and they are inclined to regard the
strike elsewhere as favorable to their
chances of securing plenty Of work at
good prices while it is pending. Great
pressure is being brought to bear upon
them by the United Mine Workers
officials to join the strike, but so far
without success. The impression among
both operators and miners in this state
is that West Virginia will be able to
supply the demand for coal in the event
of protracted strike, and that the op.
orators will be justified to offer the
miners inducements to remain at work
as they did in 1894.
