Immense Damage in East by
Wind, Snow and Floods.
HUGE STEEL PLANTS CLOSED
Teas Of Thousands Of Men Thrown Out Of
Employment Crops Ruined Enor.
nous Damage TO Railroads
Wires Down.

PITTSBURG, Apr 2O.--This city is the
center OF a widespread and disastrous
storm. For a radius Of $50 miles in
western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio
and northern Virginia, rain or snow has
been falling almost without intermis-
sion for three days Mountain streams
have become torrents, creeks are swoi-
len out OF their banks and big rivers
are oceans OF turbulent waters. The
food records, It IS expected. will be
broken before the water subsidies.
The financial loss cannot be estimat-
ed. In addition to the hundreds OF
thousands and perhaps millions Of dol
lars 1t will cost TO put the large manu-
featuring plants in commission again.
tens Of thousands of skilled workmen
are thrown out OF employment and lose
their wages just at a time when all
the iron and steel mills are rushed with
orders. Tonight thousands of people
are lying in the upper rooms Of their
water-soaked houses, without heat,
light or food.
The railroad officials cannot estimate
the cost Of repairs, but say il will
be heavier than ever before IN the hLs-
tory Of the railroads running to Pitts
burg.

CONTINENT AGAINST AMERICA,

LONDON. April 20,-The Spectator

taking as a text a portion Of an inter-
view with Admiral Count Canevaro at
Toulon. which the Spectator believes

years OF peace. said:
This fact would perhaps lead Eu-
ropean nations to consider the posi-
bilIty and necessity Of uniting against
America. Africa and Asia, as the fu-
ture OF civilization will require them
to do So"
The Spectator does not consider this
the rash outburst Of the man in the

Italian minister Of foreign AFFAIRS.

TORNADO AT CLEVELAND.

CLEVELAND April 2O.-The terrific
storm Of wind and snow which prevail
ed in this city and vicinity today was
one OF the most disastrous to the tele-
phone and telegraph service ever ex-
perienced here. The wind reached a
velocity Of more than sixty miles per
hour.
Many Of the streets Of the city were
strewn with broken poles and tangled
wires. Several persons were severely
shocked by coming In contact with live
wires. Five or six horses were instant
ly killed by stepping on wires concealed
under the snow.

DEVASTATION ALONG OHIO.

CINCINNATI. April 2O.-The peculiar
weather conditions during the week
have eliminated In rain and snow
storm OF almost unprecedented dimen-
sions SO distributed that a flood OF the
Ohio river is impending. 1t is too ear
ly to predict the extent OF the coming
iiood, but all signs point to a stage of
water that must bring devastation Of
the most serious nature all along the
Ohio river and its tributaries in Ohio,
West Virginia and Kentucky.
This condition is something of a sur
prise at Cincinnati. because while there
has been rain almost every day in the
week it was not heavy enough TO create
apprehension. But above Cincinnati, in
Kentucky and West Virginia, flood
rains were falling as early as Wednes-
day, and over vast extent OF the Ohio
valley watershed II was continuous.
This heavy rain served to cause a rise
in the Ohio river. Until this morn
ing 1t was rising all the way from Pitts
burg to Louisville.
Following these rains came the tre-
mendous snow fall of last night. which
reached from Canada to Atlanta. with
it's western border less than a hundred
miles from Cincinnati. By its mere
weight and by the force Of the wind
in many places, there was almost q
complete paralysis of all the wires
across the snow belt today.
From Il to IL inches of snow lies over
Eastern Ohio and over the greater part
of West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.
This is supplemented by the heavy rain
in the head waters of the Ohio today.
