TIE NEWTON TORNADO.

Fifteen Dead, Thirty In jured and Fifty
Families Homeless.
CH1LL1coTHE, Mo-, April 30. Scenes
of utter distress and desolation were
pictured in the little tornado-swept
burg of Newton, 40 miles from here on
the st. Paul road. A day of ceaseless
search among the ruins and work for
the injured and suffering followedsa
night of gloom and despair. Fifty
families are homeless, there are about
fifteen dead and over thirty injured,
while half of the lplace is in ruins. A.
complete list of casualties will not be
known for several days.
The storm struck Newton at 6:l5 in
Jhe evening, coming from the south
west. It came without warning and
few were able to take advantage Of
their storm cellars. Striking the east
ern end of town it cut y clean swath
500 to 600 feet wide through the best
portion of the place, sweeping every
thing before it. Over 80 houses were
torn to splinters. On one street alone q
row Of 10 ho.,ses was entirely. demol-
ished Here scarcely any one escaped
death OF injury.

Pillar WANTS TO SURRENDER.
The Rebel General Trying to Secure What
He Regards as Honorable Terms from
the Americans.

New York, May IA dispatch 70
the New York Herald from San Miguel
via Manila says: The insurgent gen
eral, GregOris Del Pillar. believes that
he has been deserted by the Filipino
government and desires to surrender if
he can secure what he regards as hon
orable terms from the Americans The
insurgent hospital near San IsidrO is
reported TO be overwhelmed with
wounded Gen. Pillars main subsist-
ence depot is five miles in front Of
LawtOn.
The Indignation Of the natives has
compelled the insurgent generals to
cOuntermand their orders to burn the
towns as they retreated. The Ameri-
can policy Of not destroying property
is creating a revulsiOn of feeling In our
favor. Natives are returning through
the American lines to their own homes.
1t Is said that AguinaldO has fed into
the province of Nueva Feiia- On April
% he retreated by carriage from Bali
nag through San IsidrO, and nothing
has been heard from him In the two
weeks since
The 5000 Spanish prisoners who are
reported to be held by the insurgents
have been carried into a northern prov
ince and scattered among small garri-
sons. They are beyond American sue
cor this season unless a Filipino sur
render takes place within three weeks
Five American prisoners were carried
through this town last week. Their
names are unknown.

TIE WORK ON The CENSUS.
Assistant Director Wines Describes the
Process Of Finding Out How Great
Our Nation IL.

Washington, May 16.-Assistant Di-
rector Of the Census F. II. Wines, Of
Illinois, describes the work Of taking
the twelfth census as follows:
The actual work Of the census divides itself
into two parts-cOllecting the Information and
compiling il for publication For the former
purpose 1900 enumeratorS VIII be employed
The old method Of computing facts contained
In a census was BY a lab0rious system OF hand
tallying. This plan was clumsy, slow and eI
ceedingly liable 70 error. Toward the end Of
the last census IL was superseded By the new
cess formerly executed BY hand is now carried
out By the HOllerith machines many times more
rapidly and with much greater accuracy
In compiling the results OF the enumeration
every person in the United States viii be rep
resented BY card The facts recorded con-
corning each person are shown by holes punched
in the cards. Experience has shown that the
average number Of records that can be trans
ferred from the schedules 70 the punch cards by
each clerk in one day is 200. It Is the intention
Of the census authorities. as soon as the sched-
ules are received, to set loo clerks at work
with the punching machines This viii mean
something like 10000 punched cards per day,
and should exhaust the entire number Of 7OO 00,-
900 or Whereabouts in approximately 100 work
ing days As fast as they are punched and
sorted, according 70 sex, nativity or color, the
cards VIII be taken 70 the machine-rOOm and
While II is impossible 70 estimate beforehand
the expense Of taking the census it is pretty
certain on the most economical basis to amount
TO more than SlO.OOO,OO0. That is the minimum
Of what it viii cost US 70 learn how great we
have become a nation

THEY TALK AGAINST FUSION.
National Reform Press Members, in Ses-
sion At Kansas City, Oppose Future
Alliance With ANY Other Party.


Kansas City, No, Nay 17--f the
pOpulist editors Of the country who
are here attending the session of the
National Reform Press ASSOCIATION are
able to mold the opinion Of that
party it wiz never again fuse with
republicans, democrats or any other
political organization for the purpose
Of gaining control Of the national gov
eminent. Ignatius DOnnelly, once the
pOpulist candidate for president,
talked on national affairs to 60 pOpu-
list editors from all over the country
who are assembled in convention in
Lyceum hall. He was not eloquent
in his speech, but in fOrcible and
direct language he advised the pOpu-
lists against fusion and incidentally
exeOriated William J. Bryan and the
democratic party for treachery. The
burden Of his speech was for the pOpu-
lists to keep to the middle Of the road
and thus acquire success over ''tOtter-
ing and corrupt democracy" Mr..
DOnnelly's remarks were heartily ap-
plauded and 1t was plain that his audi
tors were in sympathy with him
The association elected officers yes
terday: Frank Burkitt, OI1OIOna, Miss,
was reelected president; Paul J. Dixon,
ChiIlicothe, No, vice president; 10
A. Parker, Louisville, KY, secretary
and treasurer, and W. J. Henning, Au-
gusta, Ga, corresponding secretary.
Abe Steinberger, Girard, Kan; NJ.
A. BOdenheimer, Dalton, Ga; Whar-
ton Barker, Philadelphia, and
n. h MOtsinger, Shoals, Ind,
were made members Of the ex-
ecutive committee. The committee
appointed to draft an address to the
people held an all-night session. 1t
will be in four sections; 1t will not de-
clare for any candidates, but viii rec
ommend that a national convention be
held In 1900; that the convention be
held before either Of the two old party
conventions; that the middle-Of-the
readers bolt any democratic or repub-
hcan nomination, and 60 before the
country on a straight reafirmatiOn of
the Omaha platform, which candidates
pledged solely to the principles therein
enunciated- The organization commit
tee viii be urged to organize in all the
states where no pOpulist organization
exists. Where the middle-Of-the-rOad-
ers are organized, as in Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Georgia, the organization viii
not be disturbed.

RUsE DID NOT WORK.
william LOckrIdge, Coveted Bank Rob
Der, Who Was Thought Drowned,
Turns Up in Another Crime.

Kansas City, No, May 16.-William
L LOckridge, who Is wanted at Sa-
vannah, No, on a charge of bank rob
berry, has been located by the police at
Fergus Falls, Mimi, where he Is un-
der arrest on a charge of train rob
berry. A year ago It was stated that
LOckridge had been drowned In the
west. The report was for the purpose
Of throwing of SUSPICION as to the
whereabouts Of LOcl1ridge. He had
been convicted Of rObbing bank in Sa-
vannah, Mo, and has been sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary. J. J.
Williams, his attorney, signed his bond
when the case was appealed, with Ed
Findley and Verde I. Banta- The SUI
Preme court upheld the decision OF the
lower court, and because LOclzridge
could not be found, his bond, which
was for s., 900, was declared forfeited.
Then the story Of his drowning was
perpetrated. 1t appears now that it
was only a fake to give LOclridge a
chance to get away and save his bonds

GEN. GOMEZ REFUSES.
He Positively Declines TO Have AnythInB
TO Do With the Distribution OF the
SS,OOO.OOO to Cuban Army.

Washington, Nay I6.-The situation
IL Cuba is approaching a crisis. Gen
GOmez's refusal TO have anything TO do
with the distribution Of the S., 600, COO
promised the Cuban army may preeipi-
tate a physical clash. In addition TO
this the severity of the military gov
eminent as administered by Gen
Brooke is such that the Cubans are
rendered reckless Of consequences It
was rumored at the war department
yesterday that Gen. Brooke would be
shortly recalled. The report could not
be positively confirmed, as both Secre-
tary Alger and Adjt- Gen. COrbin de-
clined to discuss the subject
Gen. BrOOke's administration Of af-
fairs in Cuba, it is said, has not given
satisfaction to the department and
much Of the trouble experienced by
the United States authorities with the
island Is attributed to his alleged lack
Of executive ability. Communications
are daily received at the war depart
ment protesting against what are said
to be arbitrary orders issued by the
military governor. Heis severely criti-
cised by the Cubans, and his determi-
nation to enforce Objectionable orders
meets with the most determined OppO-
sitiOn.
