OUT IN A SNOWSTORM.
Christian Endeavorers Caught in
Midsum IN er Blizzard.

Out Of the frying pan into the ice box.
Thai is the kitchen allegory which tells
of the pilgrimage of the Christian En-
deavorers. Gaily the train loads of tour
lists left Chicago for their long westward
journey. 1t was hot when they left-ir-
religously hot-but they didn't mind that.
Clad in liEen coats, duck trousers and
shirt waists and carrying fans and forti-
fed by a copious supply of Bible texts
and hymn books. they felt themselves
ready for every emergency OF the way.
But the girls didn't know and the boys
wouldn't learn. Mountain visions did not
trouble their serenity, and the red fire
that signaled the approsch of the glorious
Fourth melted all their memories of snow
storms. Pleasure and profit, gospel meet
ings tnd excursions made up the sum of
all that was spread dsAut before them. But
up in the emountains 0T Colorado old Boreas
was making frost and showing tnat lie
knew just the proper antidote for too
much enthusiasm. The temperature was
seven degrees below the freezing point,
and the natives were planning to cele-
brate the national holiday with the big
gcst snowfall game Of the year. The stat
ues of George Washington were clad in
iciclcs. and hot scotch was scoring vic
tory over the festive gin Hickey.

they were budding in the corners of the

left them q. home.
The general condition Of the weather
throughout the State has been very un-

Ten Are Dead at Lowry, Mimi, and

Dispatches received at Duluth say that

Glenwood, on the Northern Pacific Rail

The cyclone struck Lowry shortly after
@ o'clock in the evening. Evidences of
the cyclonic cloud were seen in Duluth
about o'clock. The sky was overcast
with clouds that circled as they moved
rapidly northeast, and there was n yell
low cast that was ascribed to the sun pen

wonder on the scene, but nobody ascribed
the conditions to a cyclone. The clouds

bill and the last named against it:
Aldrich and Murphy. Chandler and Nc
Laurin, Frye and German, Gear and Smith,
Hansbrough and Daniel. Hoar and Harris

An analysis of the 6nal vote shows that
the affirmative was cast by 80 Republi-

and Mantle, and 1 Democrat, McEnery.
The negative vote was cast by 25 Dem
ocrats, 2 Populists, Harris CKan.), and
Turner, and silver Republican, Cannon.
Eight Republicans were paired for the
bill and eight Democrats against it. The
Senators present and not voting were:
Populists, 3, viz, Allen, Butler, Heitfeld,
Kyle and Stewart; silver Republicans, 2,
viz, Teller and Pettigrew.
Following the passage of the bill reso-
luton was agreed to asking the House for
conference, and Senators Allison. Al

were named as conferees on the part Of
the Senate.
The tariff debate began May %, on
which day Mr.. Aldrich, in behalf Of the
Finance Committee, made the opening
statement. The actual consideration of
the bill began the next day, and debate
has been continuous since then, covering
six weeks and one day. 1t has been nota-

features marking former debates. From
the outset the advocates of the bill re-
Trained from set speeches, and the discus
sion was narrowed to a consideration of
rates and schedules, rather than general
principles. Mr. Aldrich's illness took him
from the chamber after the first day, and
since then the bill has been in immediate
charge Of Mr.. Allison. The opposition has
been directed in the main by Mr.. Jones

as it goes back to the House re-enacts

while the reciprocity and retaliatory pro-

House.
One Of the most important new provis-

a stamp tax on bonds, debentures and GER

important changes the bill as II goes back
to the House has S74 amendments, of va

Of about $500 persons Monday morning

Democratic League of Kings County, and
was ostensibly Fourth of July celebra-
ton. For those Democrats who would
temporize, who would ignore the silver
question, and run the campaign on purely
local issues, Altgeld has but one epithet,
"Traitorsr' "The Benedict Arnold of
$780," he said in his peroration, sleeps
on English soil. Let the Benedict Arm
olds of the present time make their graves
beside him. For those Democrats who,
having put their hand to the plow, would
turn back for the sake of temporary To-
cal triumph, he has the bitterest con-
tempt. Lobbyists and corruptionists who
debauch legislatures or pollute the
stream Of justice are not Democrats" he
said. 'So-called leaders who use their
positions in their party to assist corpo-
rations in getting an unfair advantage
over the public are not Democrats

GEN. STEWART L. WOODFORD.
Who Has Been Appointed United
States Minister to Spain.

The present and prospective relations
of the United States with Spain, because
of the Cuban trouble, render the post of
minister to Spain one of the most delicate
and important diplomatic stations. Presi-
dent Mckinley has sought for the place
several of the most distinguished men of
the country. but all have declined it, un-
officially yet emphatically. Finally, a few
days since, he selected Gen. Stewart l..
Woodford of Brooklyn, and that gentle
man will go to Madrid.
The man selected for this task was born
in New York in 1895. secured his educa-
ton at Yale and Columbia colleges and

eight-hour work day, which is necessary
to take the surplus labor off the market
followed by a minimum wage law. That
this will be solution of the question
there is no doubt, but to insure action
along those lines the movement must be
large in its proportions, and every miner
must cease work"
A. Brcnholz, who manages the home
Office for the General Hooking Coal Com
pany ut Columbus, says there is at least
10000 tons of coal in storage in the
Northwest. He estimates that this will
supply all demands for at least four
months, no matter how general the min
ers' strike becomes. There is considerable
coal on the Ohio docks ready for ship
ment by lake, but this coal will not be
sent West. 1t will be held for the purpose

Ohio, PENNSYLVANIA and Illinois to meet

MANY SLAIN OR HURT.
Fourth of July Fireworks Do Their
Usual Bloody Work.


Usual Bloody Work.
The three-day observance of the ma
tion's holiday was the ideal Independ-
ence day for the American small boy.
He began on Saturday, continued inter-
mittently on Sunday, and made as much
as possible of his fast waning opportunity
ON Monday. He put torpedoes on the car
tracks and shot off lunches of firecrackers
under boxes and OLD tin cans for the first
two DAYS. Monday he touched off cannon
crackers, fired pistols and discharged
miniature bombs mt the risk Of life and
limb and property. The strain of forty
eight hours excitement and noise had its
effect upon the juvenile, however, and the
delayed Fourth" it is said, was quieter
throughout the country than such occa-
sions have been for years past. The cas-
ualties of the day were not as numerous
as in previous years. In Chicago only
thirty-fve alarms were received during
the day, fewer than ever before record
ed, the number last year being considera-
bly, over 100. Five persons were killed,
four others seriously injured and a num-
Der of others slightly hurt. The prema-
ture explosion of bottle filled with gun
powder oouscd one fatality. Another vic
tim met death from bullet fired by
youth in celebration of the day. One boy
in his fright fell from a window on ac-
count of the firing of a cannon cracker
and was killed. The accidental explosion
of fireworks cost the life of one man, and
the bursting of n toy cannon ended the
earthly career OF 12-year-old boy.
Fatal accidents elsewhere were also
comparatively few. The minor casualties
covered wide range of cases, but were
principally due to the careless use Of large
firecrackers, which in many cases inflict-
ed painful, If not serious, injuries. The
small boy was not always to blame in the
matter, as much of the recklessness was
manifested by his elders.

Monthly loss .............. .S24 300
From estimates prepared on the basis
of coal mined in the year 1895, making
allowance for the present conditions, 1t
is believed that the expense of maintaining
the strike in the State of Ohio alone will
aggregate nearly 100000 day. or this
amount the miner loses nearly SIT 900,
the coal operators $4,000 and the rail
road companies $27 900. To this must
also be added the decreased earnings of
the railroad employees, dock and lake yes
sci employees and the profits of retail and
wholesale dealers. The totfN output in
Ohio for the year 1895 was 100000
tons in round numbers, an average of 566
tons a miner, which is equal to 1.6 tons a
day. 1t is estimated that 100000 tons
of the total output is nut coal, for which
the miner receives no pay and is clear
profit for the operator.
National President Ratchford said
Tuesday that he had received reports
showing that the greater part of Penn
sylvania. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio was
idle, and within day or two n complete
suspension is expected. The Ohio miners
are practically unit for higher wages,
as $4,000 of the $4,000 miners in the
State are already holding out for the
scale.
President Patrick Dolan, of the Pitts
burg district, estimated the total number
Of men out to be nearly $1,000. Presi-
dent Dolan further said the reports from
all over the district indicate the strike will
be more general than at first supposed.
Along the Monongahela River work has
practically been suspended and a deter
mined battle is in progress. All the mines,
with the exception of a comparatively
small number, are idle, and 1t is thought
nearly every miner will come out. The
circumstances indicate n strike of some
length, and in consequence the distress
will be great.
At Glouster, Ohio. the miners INDUCED
in threats of holding up coal trains. But
their local officials kept them quiet by
telling them this was coal mined before
the strike was declared. However, sever
al OF the Glouster men said IL non-union
coal mined after July A In West Virginia
and the Pittsburg district were hauled
,ncross Ohio to the lakes they would try
to prevent il. As the West Virginia dis
trict has paid no attention to the strike,
coal probably will continue to be hauled
across Ohio. The provocation thus az
forded the strikers for sDtaliation will
