Men aad Women Tramplc Over Each

Two persons are dead and several Sc
verely injured us n result of IL panic dur-
ing a severe electrical storm at the county
fair at Columbus, Ind. Mrs. Samuel
Cooper was trampled to death by u crowd
which was hurrying to get from the grove
into an open field. Charles Haymen was
killed by being struck on the head by q
falling tree. Ten thousand persons were
present when the storm broke. They
made a rush for the open field and many
were knocked down and trampled on by
the panic stricken crowd. Exhibition tents
and buildings were blown down or crush
cd by falling trees and the property loss
will amount to $4,000.
Two deaths will probably result from
the wind storm which swept over SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, wrecking buildings and entail
ing a loss of more than 100000. Besides
wrecking fifty dwellings, the power house
and the warehouse, the storm unroofed
the. Alhambra rink and destroyed nearly
all the buildings in the New York State
fair grounds.

A Thoushtfu, Rector.

sCornhill" tells of the rector Of Q
small country parish in the Midlands
who had lived among his people a
simple. unobtrusive life, which had en-
deared him to the hearts of those who
knew him. In very cold weather he
woull invite the congregation to come
and warnl themselves before leaving
the church. Under other conditions Of
weather this thoushtfulness for the
comfort Of his flock took a somewhat
different form. and at the end of a half
hours sermon he would sometimes say:
"As the weather is still sc inelement.
I will. my dear friends. lengthen my
discourse somewhat, in the hope that
Il may clear later"

The Spanish cabinet examined the terms
Of the capitulation Of Manila as cabled
by Gen. Tejeiro. They appear to apply
to Manila only. The question of the re-
patriation Of the Spanish troops is left to
the decision Of the American Government.
Gen. Jaudenes, who succeeded Gen. Au-
gusti in the military command al Manila,
1t was stated, had not sent a dispatch to
the Government. The latest explanation
Of this is that the dispatch of Tejeiro real

glOu0W WITH 6Q01Us
Washington special:
The order of the Navy Department for
the drydocking and repairs Of the big
ships in Admiral Simpsons feet indicates
that this Government will not be caught
mapping either by. Spain or by any other
nation which may seek to interfere with
the accomplishment of its aims.
1t is the intention of the department to
put all the fighting vessels Of the navy in
the very best possible shape during the
existence of the armistice. In the event
that Great Britain should remain firm in
her refusal to allow the ships of Admiral
Dewey's feet to dock at Hong Kong, ar
rangements will very likely be made to
send a floating dock to the Philippines.
This will certainly be done IL Admiral
Dewey recommends it.
The Navy Department will also see to
it that all the ships of the navy are pro-
vided with smokeless powder during the
armistice. While the ships are at the
navy yards undergoing needed repairs the
sailors who served their guns SO gallant
~ at Santiago are to be given liberal shore
leaves to compensate them for the hard
service they have rendered. Some Of
them have not had any shore leave for
seven months.
The War Department will take equal
care to do everything possible to increase
the efficiency of the land forces during
the armistice. The troops in the field will
be reduced. probably to 100000. With
only this number of soldiers to look after
the War Department will be able to take
care of all their wants promptly. They
will all be armed with the Krag-Jorgensen
rifles. and target practice will be taken up
in all the camps. If Spain should con-
clude to continue the war after the peace
commission has finished its work, OIL IL
any of the powers Of Europe should at
tempt to interfere with the administers
tion's policy in the Philippines. the United
States will be found in splendid shape to
cope with the emergency. 1t is not ex-
pccted, however, that there will be any
more fighting and the measures to be TAX
G n by the War and Navy Departments
are purely precautionary.
The administration is pleased with the
condition of affairs in Porto Rico, where
the Spanish commander, Gen. Macias, is
showing a friendly spirit in cooperating
with the Americans in making ready for
the evacuation.

AWFUL SUFFERING IN HAVANA.
Condition of Things There Reported

CONDITION OF IhtnXs Ihefe Reported
as Horrible.
Reports from Havana picture the con-
dition of things there as horrible. Provis-
ions and other necessaries Of life are very
scarce, and prices continue high. The CO.
lonial government imposed the highest
customs duties. which continue in force,
making prices high md rendering the sit
uation of the poor very painful. The free
kitchens which have been established in
Havana daily furnish about 10000 per-
sons with food, but owing to the great
number of poor in the city who are with
out food of any sort, the amount of sup
plies handled by these kitchens is quite
insufficient to relieve the distress to any
great extent. Women and children lie
about the streets, pale and cmaciated, and
looking more like corpses than living be-
ings.

In view of these facts, the one aspect of

such a motive would seem to lie in a ques-
tlon or personal economics to the ndivid-

remuneration of party constituents with
government offices is more agreeable and
less expensive to the legislator than a per-
