The morning dawned cloudy and
sultry and grew more threatening as
the day advanced. Clouds began to
gather, and shortly after nine o'clock
sharp lightning flashed from the SOUTH
west. The air became heavy and
stiding. The velocity Of the wind sud-
denly began to increase, and out of the
overcast sky the dread funnel-shaped
cloud made its appearance. .Hugging
close to the earth, it came down upon
the city. The altitude of the cyclone
was not more than sevepty-five feet.
The negro shanties and cottages in the

GREAT BRITAIN REJECTS THE
IN HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY

Washington, March 26.-The answer
OF the British government expressing
Its inability to accept the Hay-Paunoe-
fote treaty In the form amended by the
Senate was made public yesterday. 1T
says there was 10 desire on the part
of the British government to change
the Clayton -Bulwer treaty, but some
of its Rrovisions had been regarded
with disEavor by the government Of
the United StateR, and in the Presl-
dents message Of December, 1898, 1t
was urged that the national policy
called more imperatively than ever for
the "contpsr" Of the projected highway
by the government Of the United
States.
1t says the drawing up of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty vas the result of
discussions over the building of the
canal by the United States, previous
to. which the Clayton- Bulwer treaty
must be ameAded or Z new treaty con-
cluded.
The British government was not yet
prepared to accept the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty as serious difficulties had
arisen in seeking to arrange affairs

 He stated to an Associated Press rep gresentative that 1t had been his in-
 stention to empanel a jury but he had sbeen officially advised by the district sattorney that such a proceeding would
 sbe unnecessary. After the autopsy he Ssaid he would issue a certificate of sdeath and a permit for the removal of
 1.-the remains.
 Senator Hanna came to the house at s s10:40 accompanied by Comptroller , Dawes. The senator walked slowly I land haltingly and bowed his head as ! he approached the house that sheltered ! sthe remains of his dead friend. Ex- zaggerated reports of the senator's ill., ness had previously been sent out but 7 his appearance on the streets complete ] ly dispelled them. He is broken in spirit 5 at the death of President Mckinley but remains strong physically.
 An affecting incident of the morning was the coming of Mrs Garret A. Ho- bart. wife of the former vice-president i, of the United States. and young Mir Hobart. her son. Mrs Hobart was in deepest mourning and after her visit scame out with her handkerchief to her seyes, weeping freely.

PROTECTING ANARCHISTS.
Emma Goldman Spirited Away Whe1 McKinley's Death Was Announced.

 Chicago, Sept 14.-Emma Goldman, who is locked up as the most impot- atant of the anarchists incarcerated here, was spirited away from the wo- mans annex of the Harrison street po- Slice station early this morning, when sit was learned that the president was ldead. She was hastily put in cab } by two policemen. The police tried E to keep the matter secret and denied sit for some time. The removal was merely a precautionary measure, the Jofficers say, and 1t is probable she will ssoon be brought back.
 While Miss Goldman was being hur- sried to safety in a cab a crowd num- Ebering about forty men started for the aannex, loudly threatening to lynch : Miss Goldman. They had waited i'll sfront of the bulletin boards until all shope was gone, and then started out sto execute vengeance. After proceed sing a few blocks, however. cooler heads $ n the crowd succeeded in checking the seXcitement, and, somewhat later the : Scrowd dispersed.
 No disturbance was reported by the Sofficials at the county jail where the Alocal anarchists are locked up. It was sthe belief this morning that the presi- 4dent's death would make it extremely unlikely that the court would admit athem to bail. Chief-of-Po O'Neill ais quoted as saying that it would be murder to let them on the street with scitizens in their present temper. The 8night was fairly quiet and the extra Apolice were not called upon to protect 8the anarchists from the attack which 2had been feared.
 q Dr I. Saylin, the Buffalo physician aarrested Thursday night, is the most 7mysterious prisoner who has been ar Srested here in connection with an al- aleged plot against the presidents life. Tn his statement to the police Dr Say SIi is quoted as saying that he, Emma sGOldman and others were in Buffalo sSeptember 2, but he said the meeting 1zwas purely social. This statement, however, conflicts with the one given sby Miss Goldman, who told the Asso- 5ciated Press reporter that she was in SCincinnati September and left that Betty for St Louis that night
 s Reporters have not been able to see 5 Miss Goldman in regard to the seem 3 ing conflict of stories told by herself and the Buffalo doctor. Chief Matron Keegan, who has had charge of Miss sGoldman, told a reporter this morning sthat when Miss Goldman heard that sthe police were getting a statement sfrom Dr Saylin, she said: He's like Ely to get us all in jail. He hasn't the memory for dates that have, and if ! he trusts to his memory Pm afraid he Swill make trouble"
