ed With Booming Cannon and
Screaming Steam Whistles.

Norfolk, Va, May 27.-Amidst the
booming of cannon and the screaming
of steam whistles from tugs, bay
steamers and ocean liners. the cap
tured Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
arrived in port this afternoon. Ac-
companying her was a flotilla of six
tugs, all profusely decorated with flags.
Cannon saluted as she was towed
through the harbor, and the tugboats
kept their whistles in an almost con-
tinuous scream; from the time she
rounded Lambert's Point until the
navy-yard was reached. Every craft
tied down the whistle-lever, and there
was a babel of notes. The Mercedes
was saluted by every passing steamer,
and acknowledged each greeting by a
blast of her whistle.
1t took considerable time to make the
prize fast to the wharf after she was
turned over to the United States gov

One important decision was arrived at
during a star-chamber session of the
baseballists yesterday afternoon. 1t was
asleeu enat captain hooser of the
streaks-o rust crowd was entitled to a
differential. kooser claimed this as his
right, because he can't make as fast
time as Theodore Davis, for instance. or
some of the other baa-baas.
Choate of the Union Pacific thought a
uniform tariff should be arranged. with
the run from home to first as a basing
but was overruled. Umpire Eyrick will
be instructed to give Kooser at least Il
shade the best of il, this being the onlv
way his differential can be adjusted.
a rate of five glasses of lager has been
fixed on for runs in l.. G. l.. Carloads or

1t is believed that both sides have an
equal chance under this arrangement.
During the same session at which this
was decided upon, the following rules
were proposed and adopted:
l. Any player who jaws the umpire will
be considered game to the verge of fool
hardness.
2. If at any point in the contest an out
fielder gets under a fly and successfully
catches the same, the umpire shall call
time and for ten minutes the fielder
aforesaid shall be rendered an impromptu
reception.
3. No errors shall be counted. This rule
is considered necessary, because if err
rors are counted. there won't be room on
the score card for anything else.

entitled to the title of 1T" and shall

she ordered Deamer out of the house.
This angered Deamer, who swore re-
venge on the spot. The Burton girl,
it seems, owed Kitty about $50, and
concluded she as well as Deamer might
take her clothes and go. So she brought
forth the buds and, one by one, threw
them out of her window into the alley.
Meanwhile, someone broke the news
to Kitty, who promptly blew her whis-
tie. and when Officer Hempel re-

Crawled Into Cellars and burrows
In PlOwed Ground.
WRECK In STORMS PATH
MOST DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO
IN YEARS VISITS NEBRASKA.
No Lives Were Lost For People Saw
It Coming, But There Were Many
Narrow Escapes-Buildings Are
Swept Away and Stock Killed
Cloundburst Follows.

Omaha, Neb., May 27.-The most dis
astrous cyclone that has visited Ne
braska since the Bradshaw storm ten
years ago circulated between Minden
and Jenesaw shortly after o'clock
last night and destroyed everything in
its path. There was no loss of life, as
the people saw the danger in time and
saved themselves by crawling into
cyclone cellars or by hugging the fur
rows in the plower ground.
The first damage done was at the
farm of John V. Tenant, one mile due
north of Minden. Mr.. Tenant, wife
and son saw it coming and ran to the
plowed field where they buried them
selves in a furrow. They had no soon
er dropped TO the ground than the cy-
clone struck their home. Their two
story house was wrecked and the corn
shed and barn were crushed as if they
had been made of paper.
At the farm of Joseph Rayer, a mile
east, every building was demolished
wife and an infant child took refuge
in a cyclone cellar and escaped with a
few bruises.
Half a mile from Hartwell the cy-
clone struck Peter Billisbach's farm
and swept everything before it. The
family of four were all injured, but
none seriously.
Between Hartwell and Kenesaw,
John Mosher's barn and sheds We're
destroyed and stock killed. The town
of Hartwell was also hit and several
buildings wrecked
Between these two towns the country
was inundated by a cloudburst, the
water rising five feet along the railroad
grade. At I o'clock this morning hail
stones were found in the streets of
Kenshaw that measured over four
inches in circumference.
The path of the cyclone was about
100 feet wide and twenty miles long,
but varied in places. Everything de-
molished by the storm is a total loss,
as none of the farmers were carrying
tornado or cyclone insurance.
