WINDS AWFUL WORK
NEARLY FIFTY LIVES BLOWN
OUTAT FORT SMITH, ARK.
Many Residences and Public Buildings
Ground Into Splinters-Dead and
Wounded Are Dragged from the
Ruins by Survivors.
Cut n Wide Swath.

Fort Smith, Ark, was swept Tuesday
night from end to end by terrific cyclone,
and Wednesday the business portion of
the town was in ruins, while the dead lay
in long rows at the morgue. Fifty peo-
pie, it is thought, persisted in the fury Of
the storm.
Coming from the southwest the cyclone
swept Fort Smith completely, smashing
everything along the way. The crash Of
falling houses was first heard at IL o'clock
and before the sleeping inhabitants could
rise and seek refuge the full force of the
storm was upon them. Buildings went
down in heaps on every side. One large
boarding house, struck by the full power
of the tempest, broke in fragments like an
eggshell. Fifteen bodies were taken from
that boarding house "Wednesday morning,
and it is thought that at least twenty five
victims died among the falling timbers.
The handsome new high school building,
recently erected at cost of 100000, dis
solved like fabric of dream. Two
churches fairly flew asunder when the
cyclone pounded on their walls. Resi-
dences went crashing to the ground,
stores and business blocks followed in one
hidcous ruin. In a few moments it was
was in ruins.
In the blackness of the night, the up
roar of the falling walls, the cries Of the
injured and the hurting of flying timbers,
the uninjured citizens were for time
completely panic-stricken. Toward mid
night regaining their selfcontrol as best
they could, they began systematic in
vestigation of the damage done, and also
~, Nov. af fro xvrhJ oI,
had blazed UP among the ruined buildings.
For time it seemed as if this new dan
ger would add equal damage to that done
by the wild work of the storm. Several
bodies, whether dead or living it is hard
to say, were crcmated in the flames be-
fore the fire department could overpower
the blaze.
Morning came and revealed a scene of
horror and destruction. Among the
wreckage, torn out Of all shape by the
storm, burned and blackened by the en-
suing fires, were found more dead, more
wounded. The hospital was full to over
flowing The morgue could hold no more.
Scores of people who had missed relatives
or friends in the wild uproar Of the night
joined with the searchers, directing, aid
ing, digging among the masses of mason
ry, roofing up the fallen timbers and drag
ging away the shattered beams. No es-
innate can be made at this time Of the
damage done to property.
After tearing through Fort Smith the
cyclone veered, whrled to the southeast
and laid in ruins the town Of Alma, nine
miles away. 1t is reported that Alma is
almost utterly destroyed and that several
people have been certainly killed, while
many are missing

MARX HANNA CHOSEN
NAMED FOR SENATOR BY THE
OHIO LEGISLATURE.
He Secures Election by Bare Majority
Gets Sc Votes from Representatives
and II from Senators Threatened
Deadlock Did Not Materializc.
Barely squeezes Through.

Marcus A. Hanna was on Wednesday
elected to the United States Senate for
both the long and short terms by the Ohio
State Legislature.
After being in caucus all of Monday
night the Democrats of the Legislature
agreed on Mayor McKisson of Cleveland
as the only Republican they would sup
port for Senator. When it was found alb
solutely impossible to agree upon either
Gov. Bushnell or Charles l.. Kurtz, Me-
Kisson was called in and made a speech,
saying that, although Republican, be-
would, if elected to the United States
Senate by the fusion, stand squarely OH
the Chicago platform. This pledge was
satisfactory and the caucus declared for
McKisson for both the short and long
term.
Both branches of the Legislature met
ut 10 Tuesday morning and balloted for
Senator The call of the House showed
Representative Cramer, Democrat, the
only absentee. The sergeant-at-arms was
dispatched for him. He was very sick
and his physician forbade his attendance.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1898-01-20

The Republicans finally agreed to proceed
with the ballot in the absence of Cramer.
A test vote resulted in SO yeas and 81
nays and the House dispensed with the
call and proceeded to business, amid great
applause from the Republican side.
Kenner rose to a question of privilege
and read the charges Of offers to bride
Otis of Hamilton County. He offered
resolution that committee of five be APP
pointed to investigate these and any 9TH
er charges Of bribery affecting any men,
Der of the House. a motion was made on
the Democratic side to suspend the rules
and consider the kenner resolution at
once, but was defeated by the same vote
So ayes and So nays, and again there
was applause from the Republicans.
The names of Marcus A. Hanna and
Robert Il. McKisson were then present
cd. On roll call in the House Griffith,
Manuel, Joyce, Drostc, Kemper and
lane, the Republicans who had been act
ing with the opposition, cast their votes
for Hanna and there was tremendous
cheering, which was renewed when the
result was made known-HanGa Sc, Nc
Ksson AZ, scattering }. The speaker an
nounced that Hanna was the choice of the
House for the short term. The ballot
was then taken for the long term and re-
suited the same, and was greeted with
another long and loud demonstration. In
the Senate the vote for both the short
and long terms stood 10 for McKisson and
II for Hanna. This number, with his
So in the House, gave Hanna exactly the
necessary 70 for election, with all pres
ent.
Wednesday, when the contest was to DO
finally settled, the legislative halls were
crowded early in the morning, although
the joint balloting for Senator did not be-
gin until noon. The workers on both
sides showed more plainly their weari-
ness than Oil former mornings. The Han
ma hustlers were up all night on the
watch. Their opponents spent the entire
night in getting some members out of bed
and staying near others. There were
several collisions in the hotels between
opposing workers and watchmen before
daybreak, and their feeling had not abat-
ed any when they met again in the state
house.
The Senate roll call on the senatorship
was called first The votes were cast the
same as on Tuesday. The House vote
also was the same as on Tuesday-56 to
so. An attempt to secure passage in the
House of a resolution looking to investi-
cation of the bribery charges was de-
feated

man, "a man asked me to accompany

HLibelcr of the PrcsS.b


Gen. Porter relates the following
anecdote in the Century:
Gen. Meade had been untring in his
efforts du1.ing this eventful week. He
was Gen. Grants senior by seven
years, was older than any of the corps
commanders, and was naturally of an
eXcitable temperament and with the
continual annoyances to which he was
subjected he not infreQuenty became
quite irritable. He was greatly dis
turbed at this time by some newspaper
reports stating that on the second night
Of the battle of the Wilderness he had
advised retreat across the Rapidan;
and in talking this matter with Gen.
Grant, his Indignation became so great
that his wrath knew no bounds. He
said that the rumor had been circulated
throughout the press and would be be-
lieved by many of the people and per-
haps by the authorities in Washington.
Mr.. Dana, the assistant Secretary Of
War, who was still with the army, was
present at the interview and he and
Gen. Grant tried to console Meade by
assurances that the story would not be
credited and that they would give n
broad contradiction of it. Mr.. Dana
at once sent a dispatch to the Secretary
of War, abiding to the ,rumor and say
ing: "This is entirely untrue, he has
not shown any weakness of that sort
since moving from Culpeper, nor once
intimated doubt as to the successful
issue of the campaign.
The Secretary replied the next day
(June 1O>, saying: please say to Gen.
Meade that the lying report alluded to
in your telegram was not even for Il
moment believed by the President or
myself. We have the most perfect
confidence in him. He could not wish
more exalted estimation of his abil-
ity, his firmness and every quality of a
commanding general than is entertain
ed for him." The newspaper CORE
spondent who had been the author Of
the SANDER was seized and placed on
horse, with large placards hung upon
his breast and back bearing the in
scription, 'Libeler of the Press" and
drummed out of camp. There had
never been moment when Meade had
not been in favor of bold and vigorous
advances and he would have been the
last man to counsel a retreat.
