the legislation effecting the apportion-

I'd the opinion that there would be
no decided effort during che next SEES

Discussing the general subject of

as follows:
1.-The committee on census will meet
during the first week of the session

according to calculations | have
made, this reapportionment would
add members to the house from New

states. States like Nebraska and

There are a great multitude of people in
all parts of the land who have entirely lost
their health as a result of la grippe; who
have recovered from an attack, but find
themselves with weakened nerves, deranged
digestion, and with but very little Of their
former powers.
There is no disease known to man that
leaves the system in such an outrageous and
exasperating condition as la grippe.
For this class of sufferers, Pcruna is a spe-
cifc. Peruna should be taken according to
directions and in a few weeks the sufferer
will be entirely restored to his accustomed
health.

Totals .........

The storm entered Tennessee from
Northern Mississippi and swept across
in northeasterly direction. Great
damage is reported from the counties
bordering on Mississippi. Columbia,
in Maury county, is the greatest suf-
ferer. Lavergne, Nolansville and Gal
latin also felt the winds fury, the
storm finally losing it's force against
the Cumberland mountain range. Co
lumbia's casualties number 40 dead
and some 25 injured.
The path of the storm is about $50
yards wide, and was through the
northwestern suburbs of the town.
In its path everything is completely
wrecked. Not even the iron and stone
fences of the arsenal grounds are
standing.
The houses of Capt. Aydelott, the
Farrells and other large residences
were demolished.
With the exception of these four
houses, the storms path was through
section of the town populated chief
ly by Negroes and the poorer classes,
and the houses were mere novels. 1t
is estimated that $50 of them are to-
tally destroyed and large number
damaged. The suffering of these peo-
pie, rendered homeless and bereft of
all their goods, is pitiable
The number of houses destroyed in
the Nolansville neighborhood is 16.
At Lavergne, 1G miles south of here
on the Nashville, Chattanooga &
St. Louis road, the velocity of the
wind was marvellous, and, from best
reports, lasted only about 20 seconds.
In this short time about 80 dwellings,
were turned into kindling wood.
The loss of life is small compared
with the miraculous escapes made.
The wind made a swath about 200
yards wide through the middle of the
town. The Lavergne high school and
the depot, the two largest buildings,
were laid fat on the ground. The loss
of these two buildings is placed at
something like $1,000. The railroad
lost four section houses also, each
valued at 5000.
In Williamson county great damage
was done. Houses and timber in Sum
ner county also suffered considerably.
but first reports sent out from Gala
tin were exaggerated.
Great suffering is being experienced
by those deprived of homes at La
vergne and Nolansville.
The rise in the Cumberland river at
Nashville is the most rapid known in
25 years, the water having climbed 20
feet OH the gauge since Tuesday
morning.
Colorado Springs, Col, Nov. "a
The storm which started here on
"Wednesday at 10 o'clock did not be-
come. sever until 1870. The plant of
the Colorado Springs Electric Co. and
/ the high school building were badly
damaged, and the iron roof of the
Temple theater was ripped off. Many
business blocks wer also much dam
aged.
Clarendon, Ark, Nov. 22.-The most
sever wind storm that ever visited
this section of the country passed
through the eastern part of Monroe
county Tuesday afternoon. The path
of the storm was from 800 yards to a
quarter of a mile in width, and almost
everything in it's way was demolished.

mirsl and guarded by his own body

Washington. Oct. 5.-Propositions CT
a far-reaching character concerning
China are being presented III rapid
succession to this government The
state department had no sooner dis
posed of one of these propositions yes
terday, by delivering response to the
German government than il was con-
fronted by an even more important
proposition submitted by the French
government, and within half an hour
formally seconded by the Russian gov
ernment. The answer to Germany
covered the subject of Furnishing CHI
Iiese offenders and made known that
the United States had instructed Min
lister Conger along the lines suggested
by Germany. These instructions look
towards securing the names or the
persons deserving chaStiSement; also,
whether the punishmentS accord with
the gravity of the crimes committed,
and finally, in what manner the Unit
ed States and the other powers are TO
be assured that satisfactory punish
ment is inflicted.
Latest Proposal Is Much Broader.
The Franco-Russian proposal takes
q much broader scope, and submits Il
programme under which the negotia-
tions for a complete settlement can
be carried forward. The French
charge, NJ. Thiebaut, handed the prop
osition to Secretary Hay shortly after
noon yesterday, and held brief con
ference concerning it. Half an hour
later NJ. de Wollant the Russian
charge arrived at the state depart
ment and handed to Hay n note eX-
pressing Russian approvalof the propo-
sitions just submitted by France. Hay
gave no formal answer to the two
communications as they will 60 first
10 the president at Canton.
Pith of the Propositions.
The Franco-RuSsian proposition is
under four heads, namely: First, pun
ishment Of the guilty parties; second.
interdiction Of the shipment of arms
into China; third, payment of indemni-
ty to the powers; and fourth sufficient
guarantees for the future. In addi-
ton. a suggestion is made for the es-
tablishment OF a permanent legation
guard at Picking; for the razing Of the
Taku forts. and for the maintenance
Of q line of communication between
Picking and the sea. The impression
here, in advance OF action on these
propositions by our government, Is
that they contain nothing essentially
uniting them to be subjects OF con-
sideration in final settlement. As to
the Introduction Of arms. the state de.
partment already has intimated that
there may be question as to its wis

OH wuaI way Tne powers can con-
troll the carryinSout Of the penalties
imposed
Our reply TO thu foregoing was given
the German charge yesterday and be
gins with a SUMMARY OF the Chinese
imperial edict on Sept %, degrading &
and Furnishing Tian and others for
crimes against foreigners. The reply
then proceeds:
The government OF the United
States is disposed to regard this meas
ure 1.-THE edictl as a proof of the desire
OF the imperial Chinese government 10
satisfy the reasonable demands of the
foreign powers for the injury and out
rage which theiH legations and their
nations have suffered at the hands OF
evil-diSposed pefsons in China, al
though it has been thought well. in
view of the vaglenesS of the edict in
regard TO the punishment which some
of the inculpated persons are TO receive
to signify to the Chinese minister the
presidents view that it would be most
regrettable If Prince Tuan, who ap-
pears from the concurring testimony
of the Iega tions in PekinS to have been
one of the foremost in the proceedings
complained of, should escape such full
measure of exemplary punishment as
the facts warrany, or If Hang Ii and
Chao Shu ChiaO should receive other
than their just deserts.
With a view 10 forming judgment
on these points, tie United States min
lister in Peking has been instructed to
names the person S deserving chastise-
ment: whether ptInishments proposed
accord with the gravity of the crimes
committed; and il what manner the
United States and the other powers
are TO beassured that satisfactory pun
ishment is inflicted. 1t is hoped that
Mr. Conger's replies TO these interro-
ga1orieS will confirm the government
or the United States ia the opinion
which 1t now shares with the imperial
German government that tn eedict iii
question is an important initial step
in the direction OF peace and order iu
