West Indian Cyclone.

According to late advices from
St. Lucia, the storm which broke
over that island on the 18th was
of unprecedented violence, being
accompanied by mighty tidal
waves and tremendous rains. Nu-
merous landslides were caused
and many houses, bridges and CO.
Goa estates destroyed. At least
twelve lives have been lost. Qua
deloupe, the French island in the
LeewaNd group, experienced very
heavy weather. Nineteen deaths
and several destructive landslides
are reported. St. Vincent island
had the most destructive cyclone
ever known there. Kingston, the
capital, is totally destroyed, and
it is estimated that 800 lives were
lost on the island and 10000 per-
sons homeless. Dead bodies were
buried in trenches. Thousands
are being fed at public expense.
Amount of property destroyed
on the island can not yet be esti-
mated. Every small town is in
jured and many large ones ruined.
The demolished buildings include
churches, stores and almost all
the plantation buildings. Three
large ships went ashore upon
the Windward coast and many
smaller vessels are stranded.

There is at this time every Indication
that the live stock show at the Trans.
Mississippi Exposition will rank among
the very largest and finest ever given
in the country. 1t will offer almost I'M
rivaled opportunity for those who wish
to improve their flocks and herds to see
the best stock the world contains and
to gain information Of great value. The
exhibition will also offer exceptional
opportunity for those who have i'm
proved stock for sale to advertise their
productions and to make the acquaint-
ance of likely purchasers.
The live stock exhibit Is divided into
six classes. OF these the poultry ex-
hlbt will be given first-from Septem-
Der 10 to September 80. On Monday,
October 8, the exhibits of cattle, horses
lin which class are included Jacks jen-
nets and mules), sheep and swine will
open, to continue until October 20;
and the fat stock will be shown from
October 10 TO 20, inclusive.
All animals must be on the grounds
of the Exposition not later than the
opening date of the division to which
they belong, except that, in the gen
eral division of cattle, hogs, sheep and
horses, animals which have been on
exhibit at state fairs and are detained
in transit will be admitted to the
grounds as late as 500 a. M, october 6.
Full freight rates must be paid on all
exhibits shipped to the Exposition. but
animals which do not change owner
ship will be returned free under the
usual exhibition certificate arrange
ment.
Terminal charges have been modified
and a single fee includes a switching
charge for transferring carload lois
into the grounds and also assistance
in unloading and drayage on iced and
necessary show paraphernalla from the
cars to the stock barns. Less than car
load lots may be billed to Omaha local
depots, and on these a small charge
will be made for delivery to the show
grounds.

Situation Critical.

Rear Admiral Dewey says he
considers the situation critical. 1t
is understood he has asked for an
additional cruiser and a battle
ship. The Spaniards assert that
Germany will take a coaling sta
ton at Manila and that Spain will
retain the remainder of the is
lands. The last Spanish garrisons
at Liocos and Laguna hay sur
rendered and the whole island of
Luzon is in the hands of the in
surgents except at Manila and
Cavite. Aguinaldo says $1,000
insurgents are armed with rifles
and that he could raise 100000
more men. Continuing, the in
surgent chief said he had 5000
military prisoners, including 5000
in the vicinity of Manila, besides
CIVIL prisoners. lie CLAIMED the
insurgents organized provision

delegates in numbers proport, on
ate to the population. When
questioned us to whether the fu-
ture of the Filipino policy would
be absolute independence, Aguin-
aldo excused himself from an
swering. All questions relative
to America retaining n coaling
station in the islands he would
not reply to. The impression
conveyed was that Aguinalde de
sires absolute independence and
expects the Americans to With
draw.

Wonderful Vitality.

A post-mortem examination of
the remains of the late empress
of Austria, assassinated on the
10th by an anarchist at Geneva,
Switzerland, revealed the fact
that the weapon completely trans
fixed hes majesty's leart, pene-
trating three and ona-thirI in
ches and making a wound one
sixth of an inch wide. The fact
that the unfortunate woman after
being stabbed walked fifty yards
to the steamer is ascribed to her
remarkable will power and nat
ural energy. The body of the
empress has been inclosed in a
triple coffin and placed in n room
transformed into n mortuary
chamber. The walls of this
apartment are yelled with black
drapery covered with silver stars.

1t takes a very subtle casuist to
establish the wrong of privateerins
and the right of capture by govern
ment in the same brief. The former
may be the more fragrant evil, and we
ought to rejoice that it has practically
been abolished, but after all it is only
question of degree, and the whole
duty of nations will not have been ac-
complished in this matter until they
take Hamlet's advice to the players and
reform 1t altogether. If a war does not
teach us something additional of the
duties of humanity and endow us with
fresh wisdom, than does it leave us
poor indeed.
