TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 22.-The federated
trades assembly declared a general strike
this morning as result of the labor
trouble here.
The international Union of Cigar
makers asked that the articles of agree
ment presented be construed in certain
way and this was agreed to by the Re-
sistencia.
The International union met last night
and after stormy session, which lasted
until morning, refused to adopt the
agreement. They then sent commit.
tee to the federated trades and asked
that sympathetic strike be ordered.
The assembly remained in session many
hours, and finally decided that the strike
should be declared, commencing Mon
day.

There is great excitement here over
this action, and the labor bodies are pro-
testing against being forced into the
trouble. Appeals are being made to the
unions to which they belong to prevent
the strike being made effective. The
national officers are being appealed to
in their behalf. 1t is the most serious
situation of all and unless it is termi.
mated, will result in conflict of very
serious proportions.

TRAINS RUN THROUGH
A COLORADO CYCLONE
Coach Windows Blown Out
and Lights Extinguished.
GREAT PROPERTY DAMAGE

About $50 Houses Demolished at Colo
RADIO Springs-Principal Streets Of
the City Piled With Wreckage-No
Fatalities Reported.
DENVER, Nov. %. = Owing to the
demolition Of telegraph and telephone
wires south and west of Denver, little
news of the havoc caused by yesterday s
hurricane in these portions of Colorado
has reached here.
) Delayed trains brought fragmentary
news of the storm at Colorado Springs
and along the road from Pueblo to Den
YER. Up to $50 o'clock last night a
hurricane was still raging and, if any
thing, increasing in force. AS far as
could be learned there had been no fatal
ities up TO that time, but great damage
had been done to property.
Nearly every train that came III bore
marks of the storm fury. Coach win
dows were blown out, the glass in the
cabs were broken and the headlights
and coach lamps extinguished.
From Fremont to Monument the trains
in such volumes that at times the en-
gineers could not see the smokestacks of
their engines.
Engineer Desmond of the Denver and
Rio Grands was the last engineer to run
safely through the hurricane. He left Pu-
eblo at z o'clock and after leaving Foun-
tain ran into the hurricane. From that
time on, except during stop at Colo
RADIO Springs, he was compelled to run
by guess work it being impossible to
get train orders.
1t was only at intervals in passing
through cuts that the track ahead could
be seen. The cab windows were blown
out by the wind and it was impossible
to keep the headlight or cab lights lit.
A lantern was placed in the headlight,
but the wind was so strong that even
this we'll protected light was extinguish-
ed.
Not until Monument was reached
were train orders to be had. The storm
was left behind after the train reached
Palmer lake. Other engineers reported
that the flying sand was so thick during
the height of the storm that it was inn
possible to see the stacks of the engines.
Passenger train No. on the Denver
and Rio Grande got through to Colorado
Springs only through the heroism of one
of the train crew. When the train ar
rived at Sand creek at Kelker the sand
was flying so thick that the engineer
could not see the bridge and he stopped
in the cut to wait in the hope that the
storm would abate.
One of the train crew volunteered to
crawl over the roadbed to the bridge
and inspect the structure. The bridge
is nearly 200 feet long and is about a
quarter of mile the other side of the
station at Kelker. 1t was utterly inn
possible to stand against the storm and
the trainman, with his mouth and nose
covered, crawled on his hands and
knees for nearly half mile, examined
the bridge carefully and returned. No.
2 passed over safe and after waiting at
Colorado Springs, uncertain that the
right of way could be had, ran through
the storm to Monument, where orders
were received.
In passing through the storm the train
was damaged to considerable extent,
but no one was injured.

WORST STORM EVER KNOWN
About $50 Houses Were Wrecked at
Colorado Springs.

About $50 Houses Were Wrecked at
Colorado Springs.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 22.-Yester-
days hurricane, the severest in the his
tory of the state, began to subside about
midnight after blowing for 10 hours.
Nearly 100 dwellings were totally de-
stroyed or badly damaged, but no deaths
have been reported.
Edgar T. Ensign, formerly state for
estry commissioner, was caught under
falling pole on TETON street and proba-
bly, fatally injured.
The damage is greatest in the bust
ness part of the city. Wreckage block
AIDES the principal streets. Plateglass
windows all over the city are shattered
and the loss in these alone will amount
to many thousands of dollars. From
outlying sections of the city reports
have come of the destruction of many
small dwelling houses. Mayor Robin
son announced this morning that at
least 100 frame residences had been
crushed or wrecked completely by the
gale. Thousands of shade trees were
torn up by the roots. Only one tele-
graph wire Is working out of the city.
Between Denver and Colorado Springs
many miles of poles are down and will
require weeks to replace.
Over a dozen alarms of fire were sent
in during the storm and committee of
safety was hastily organized by Mayor
Robinson. The members were instructed
to deal summrily with any one starting
q fire in the streets.

STORY OF TUESDAYS STORM
Death List About Complete-Property
Loss Enormous.

MEMPHIS. Nov. 22.-Telegraph and
telephone communication with most of
the points struck by Tuesdays storm
has been restored, but the reports re-'
ceived thus far today indicate that the
full measure of the disaster liz Missis-
sippi and Tennessee has been told In the
dispatches of yesterday and last night.
The more remote country districts in
the path of the storm have not been
fully heard from, but owing to the COM
paratively small population it is believed
that but few names will be added by
them to the list of the killed and in
jured.
So far it is impossible to approximate
the property loss. Except at LAGRANGE
and in Maury and Williamson counties,
Tenn, the buildings destroyed were of
small value taken in detail, though the
aggregate loss on them will be large.
The damage to the cotton crop In the
storm swept localities from the terrific
wind and beating rain will be heavy.

that the archbishop is too young.
Furthermore, there are other dlsap-

French aspirations as the number OF

After several lengthy speeches. on the

interesting Results.

Many very interesting results have
followed the Introduction and perfeC
ton OF the rural free delivery system
in the tinted States. The records Of the
postomce department show that where
the rural delivery is in operation more
letters are written and more maya.
zines and newspapers are subscribed
for and in many instances the rural
routes pay for themselves out of the
additional business they have Great.

fits to the people for whom the system
has been established. 1t is a notable
and easily proven fact that in the IA
vorcd localities the value of farm lands
has been greatly enhanced. This in,
crease in value has reached as high rs
s. PER acr" and may be safely rsti-
mated at an AVERAGE "f from - to 5;
per acre. The land is placed in closer
connection with tn" towns and cities.
and district localities are put 50 much
nearer the business and social ccntors
that the disadvantages Of isolation are
made greatly less. 1t has been found
that persons c%mbarking in farming and
stock business will pay more for lands
reached by rural free delivery than
they will give for property far away
from own and not concnctcd with it
such a system.

Other Advantages.

Another general improvement OBJ
served is the betterment of the condi,
ton of the roads Travelled by carriers.
In one county in Indiana the farmers
incurred an expense of owe 81. 800 to
grade and gravel Il road in order to
obtain free delivery. In localities where
the farm products are large the pro,
duCcrS are placed in closer touch with
the markets and are enabled to take
advantage of information hitherto OBJ
tanned with difficulty.
All these benefits will be realized
gradually by the people. who will be
served by this route. The roads here
are in fairly good condition but the
carrier may find places that require
Improvement. Such betterment of the
highways will prove of advantage in
mor ways that one. The subject of

Indirect Benefits.

To the practical benefits of enhanc.
ed land values and closer business
touch with tn" city. must be added the
more Indirect benefits of relief from
the monotOny of isolated life. Neigh
borS will be brought closer together
by the carrier. The carrier will be per
mtttrd to perform little services aside
from his regular duties as long as they
do not interfere with prompt delivery
OF the mail. In a hundred ways the
rural delivery service will prov" val
uahlc and pleasing.
All the moro credit is deserved by
tn" advocates Of rural free delivery be
cause of the opposition that has been
manifest against the scheme from the
very start. In the Firty-third congress
the plan of rural free delivery was con
demncd by the house committee on
postOflices and postroads as a scheme
impossible OF execution because it
would require an appropriation OF at
least $20,oOo, 900 to inauguratc it,"
Postmaster General Risscll in his re
port for 1893 declared that the depart
ment would not be warranted in bur
d"ning the people with great expense;
and in his annual report for 1891 he
declined to "Npond the small appro-
priation of 10000 made by congress to
test the feasibility Of tn" scheme, be

additional cost to the people of 500.
