Minnesota arrived at Evanston, Wyo.,
at daybreak, where great quantities of
bread was taken on board for the men S
breakfast. Ogden was reached shortly
after o'clock and then the train en-
tered upon a dreary waste of mud and
bush. The landscape changed and be-
came hilly and the train stopped at
Blue Creek, a small settlement enab-
ling some OF the officers and men to
leave the cars and gather mountain
desert and the train began to wind
among hills overlooking verdant val
leys.
1t rained very hard as 1t had done
during all the night. and Chaplain Cres-
sey, when he arose, requested a pass
from Maj. Bean. II want to co. he
said, Ito st. Paul, l forgot my UNI
brella." Maj. Bean promptly made out
a pass for the chaplain.
Breakfast was served while the train
was passing over a broad plateau.
There was no station where the officers
could purchase food and they break
tasted on hard tack and coffee, which
they purchased from the company
messes.
VIEW OF MORMONDOM.
While they were breakfasting the first
view of Salt Lake was obtained 1t
ward. The rain had ceased and the
sun was shining so that the lake was
seen under favorable conditions There
was another stretch Of hills and then
came another and a splendid view of
the lake.
For many miles the train rode over
the lake bed. Every bridge was guard
ed by United States troops with loaded
the trains.
AT Monument, small settlement or
the Alkali plain, the men were drilled
fifteen minutes. The train then climbed
dUONe the lake, ana It's
next stop WAS Terrence, where the men
were again drilled. Then followed an
other dreary waste Of sand, bordered by
picturesque mountain range to the
north and west

ended its career by wreclsing the coun-

Three others were fatally in
jrred. There were over fifty persons
in the building when it went down and
all Of them were more or less injured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more Vio-
lent than anywhere else, but fortunate
ly 1t originated in the numbering dis
tricts of the northern counties, rushing
along the line of the 500 road, and
spent It's fury in the pineries.
Nine people are known to have been
killed. Vague reports brought in by
train crews from the scene Of the storm
are to the effect that eighteen bodies Of
lumbermen from a camp near Heaf-
ford Junction are now lying in the
railway station at that place. 1t is
said, too, that ten lumbermen were
killed near Elmhurst, but this report
also lacks confirmation
The property damage in Wisconsin,
While quite heavy, will doubtless fall
much below that done in the fertile
farming districts along the Mississippi
in Iowa and Illinois.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Judge Ad-

the present naval appropriation bill.
The destroyers provided for are to
be of larger type than any vessel of

pedo boats will be about the size of the
average torpedo boat now In use.
namely about $50 tons.
Bidders are left the widest liberty in
the matter Of original designs, but
no bid will be considered which fails
to guarantee at least % knots for de-
stroyers and rs knots for torpedo boats
No more than twelve months will be
allowed to complete these boats. The
shortness Of time for construction will
be an important element In determin-
ing the awards.

eastern part of Jones county, then the
northern part Of Clinton county and
touched the southern part of Jackson

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 19.-"Pa-
tience' is again the watchword in Gu
ban affairs. Not only has the admin
1stration in all it's branches put an en-
barge upon the release of any informa- :
tion to newspapers, but appeals have
been made to the patriotism Of corre-
spondents who have hitherto enjoyed
exceptional facilities, not to print any
matter which may accidentally fall into
their way, and which would tend to
further the enemy's plans or hamper
our own.
The appeal has proved more effective
than the embargo. The best kept Sc
crets are apt to find leaks here and
there; but the frank reliance upon hon.
or touches a generous chord and seals
UP every possible outlet.
Gen. Greedy recognized this fact in
dealing with the telegraph companies,
and his form Of censorship will excel
IN effectiveness any specific prohibi-
tions he might have issued.
The war and navy departments were
both nearly deserted by visitors today,
but the White house was more than
usually crowded. Great numbers Of
patronage seekers still force themselves
upon the presidents seeking for mill
tary rank for their friends.
Among the other callers this morning
was Gen. Longstreet, who wanted a
few military offices for old Confederate
comrades in arms. He says that If his
infirmfties permitted him to go to the
front himself, he has no doubt that all
his old command would insist upon go
ing with him.
