OVER 100 ARE DEAD AND ABOUT 200 ARE
 INJURED.
NEW RICHMOND IS GONE.
Four Squares of the Business Por- tion Now a Pile of
 Debris.

New Richmond, Wis, June l3 - The tornado that swept out of exist ence the prosperous little city of New Richmond is the most disast- rous in point of fatalities eyer oc- curing in this section. The exact number of dead is still unknown, but it will certainly reach one hun dred and very probably will con- siderably exceed that figure. As they were recovered the bodies were brought to the school house of the Catholic and Congregational churches. Thence they are to be taken 10 the cemetery except in a few cases where bones still stand.
 The bodies were prepared for burial by local and visiting under takers and so soon as identified were marked and disposed of as their friends requested.
 Nurses and physicians from St. Paul who had come down by special train on the Omaha road as soon as news of the disaster reached the Minnesota capital, were of great help all night and day and when the day closed all the se- riously injured were believed to have been cared for. Those whose injuries were serious, but whose chances for recovery were believed to be good were quickly sent to tke ospitas of St. Paul and Minneapo lis, where better care can be given them. The slightly injured and those whose cases seem hopeless were kept here and were gwen the best attention possible The list of dead is gradually increasing during the day and tonight it seemed that 100 might be the minimum estimate of the dead, while the list of the ir- jured will reach and perhaps exceed 200.
 A circus was h town Monday, and people had come in from all the sur rounding country to see the show. After tke circus tFe people had crowded into the city to do their shopping before going home in the evening. It was at this time that the storm cloud came up from the southwest. The cir GUS grounds were outside the path of the storm, but the people being in the business places, fell a prey to tbe terrific wind.
 The business portion of the city covered space of aboutfou squares each way and was solidly built of brick and stone. This entire space was swept entirely away and in some places only masses of debris mark the places where buildings formerly stood. Trees that had lined the residence streets were broken off or twisted and uprooted.

A BIC BATTLE. GEN. LAYTON UNEXPECT- EDLY CAUGHT AND
 WHIPPED. MEN FOUGHT BRAYELY. Over Sixty Americans Dead and Many Wounded F Friendly
 Natives Treacherous
MEN FOUGHT BRAyELY.

Manila, June 14.-General Lawton unexpectedly stirred up one of the liveliest engagements of the war south of Las Pinas yesterday, upon which occasion American field guns were engaged in the first artillery duel against Filipino battery con- cealed in a jungle. Companies F and I of the Twenty first infantry were nearly surrounded by a large body of insurgents, but the Ameri- cans cut their way out with heavy loss.
 The United States turret skip Monadnock and the gunboats Hele- na and Safiro trained their batteries on Bakoor and the rebe! trenches near Las Palmas all the morning. Bakoor was soon on fire. The na- tives stopped the spread of the flames.
 The Filipino force engaged ap- pears to have been the largest and best organized body of men which has yet met our troops.
 The Americans are compelled to advance along narrow roads and over small bridges, commanded by earthworks ten feet thick.
 During the night an insurgent cannon was tired three times at the Americans at the outskirts of Las Pinas. Gen. Lawton yesterday morning took a battalion of she Fourteenth regiment and two com panies of the Twenty-first regiment to locate the rebel battery and two guns of the Sixth artillery aud four mountain guns were planted against it at 500 yards distance. The rebels had large gun from which they were firing homemade canister loaded with nails, and two smaller guns. Their shooting was most ac- curate. The country trayersed was as bad as it is possible to imagine, being mainly lagoons, mud and wa ter fringed with bamboos. As soon as the fighting opened the Ameri- cans were attacked by hidden rifle men on all sides, even the amigos or friendly" natives in the houses of the town shooting into the rear. The companies of the Twen ty.first regiment, skirmishing along the beach with amigo guides found ap- parently handful of rebels, who retreated. The men of the Twen ty first followed and suddenly the reb- els opened a terrific fire on the troops from the sides and rear The soldiers withdrew to the waters edge. finding what shelter they could, and was picked off rapidly.
 After their ammunition was near. ly exhausted the companies of the Twenty-6st retreated, but Gen. Lawton dashed down and rallled the men. A little group made a desperate stand Gen. Lawton, Maj. Starr and Lieuts. Donovan and Sonnelly, taking rifles from the wounded mer, fired at the enemy, bringing down some of the sharr- shooters from a tree, Finally theIr cartridges were all gone, and they were forced to break through the enemy's flank, carrying the wound ed to the main body of the troops.
 The American loss is conserva- lively estimated at sixty.

HANNA AT HOME.
Mark Hanna is quite a different man
Hannai At home he is a genial, hos
pitable host, always welcoming one
more caller For years Mrs. Hanna
never sat down to table at the Cleve-
land home without a guest; some
nights there were so many that, after
a few ludicrOus surprises, she arranged
with Mr.. Hanna that he was to bring
home no more than half dozen un-
expected guests; and that he was to
notify her day in advance, if he had
invited people of Importance. In that
way Mrs. Hanna could make sure that
q Governor would not come walking in
to a supper of tea and chops.
The Hanna household has always
been well supplied. Mrs. Hanna was
a rich girl. and wealth came to Mark
early. Immediately he turned from
the hard working young man into the
hospitable middle aged one, and for
years the Hanna home has been
marked by gatherings that We're large
and brilliant.
This ''BOSs''-for Hanna has been
called BOss-has had all sorts of
trouble in his own home, for it has not
been as serene as that of his political
brother, BOSS Platt," of New York
Ill health has often dulled the merri-
ment, but, through it ALL Hanna has
been serene and proud of his home.
For a long time Mrs. Hanna was an
house going, and Mrs. Hanna told Mrs.
Mckinley last winter that she had had
guests through all her troubles.
At home Mark Hanna is never
abrupt, never assertive, always con-
siderate, and smiling. Whether you
admire him or not, away from his

THREE BOSSES IN THEIR OWN HOMES

home, whether your political persua-
sion and his are the same, you must
like him at home.
Boss Croker for the term has not
escaped any man of power, leads d1f-
ferent home life. He lives at the club.
This seems remarkable to one know
ing the Croker family, for more
united family never lived! When mrs
Croker bought the handsome uptown
residence in which she and the chill
dren live, she furnished it in exquisite
taste; and gave to each son and daugh-
ter q magnificent suite which was fur-
niShed to suit the occupants taste. A
kandsomer house internally does not
stand in New York. Mr.. Croker
rooms are exceptionally beautiful, and
from his windows he can look far up
through the beautiful avenues of Har-
CROKER AT HOME.
But the Croker home is far uptown,
ested The Boss two years ago he
said that he would make it a financial
success; 50 when it was reitted he took
a suite of rooms; and here he stops
when business is pressing and he
would be late getting home. In the
summer, when the beautiful Harlem
house is closed, Mr. Croker sleeps at
the club; and winter nights he often
stops there. But Sunday finds him
home.
When Mr.. Croker's sons wish to talk
with him upon their own confidential
matters they visit him at the club;
here his political friends meet; and
here he lives the life of typical club
man, at his ease, yet attending to busi-
ness.
Richard Croker for the past thirty
years has devoted his life to politics.
With business outside, he has given all
his spare time, and certainly all his
evenings, to the political party which
he worships and which, through perse-
verance and devotion to It's principles,
and success in management, he rules.
For years Mrs. Croker had politics in
the family parlor every evening but
n
and began to go in society, Mr.. Croker
found it more convenient to establish
headquarters at the club, as so many
men in English life continually do.
When Mr.. Croker is at home the
house is turned from its steady going
ways into revelry, and the Croker
children live for the time when papa
comes home" Mrs. Croker is an ex-
cellent business woman and invests the
extrava CANT allowance which her hus-
band gives her with wisdom.
