very able man and a good Democrat and
would be acceptable. but opposition is
raised TO him on the ground that he

pointed. He is said TO meet all OF the

Mr. William V. Cox was considered
by many as leading all other candidates
yesterday. About the District Building
there was much talk in his favor
When Mr.. Ross thought of retiring two
years ago. Mr.. Cox was very strongly
indorsed for the position. and 1t IS said
he has lost none of the support he then
rad. However, the friends of other
candidates believe that Mr.. Cox then
played his strongest cards and that his
chances are less favorable now than
they were two or three years ago

Storm Sweeps Eastern South Dakota
:: and Northwestern Iowa. =
y Sioux City, Ia, June ga storm
which swept over Eastern South Da-
kota and Northwestern Iowa was one
of the most terrible in the history OF
this section. Later reports show that
the path O. the storm covered a space
OF about fifty miles wide and extended
from Pierre, S. D., to a point near lie
Mars, la. Within its track there is
not a community that has not suffered
a property loss.
The E-ost serious damage was done
in the se>t-cl OF the country south OF
Siiux* City. The focal point of the
storm s@z--s to have been at Hudson,
S. D., where one life: was lost and
where the damage to town and vicinity
will amount to about :$50,000. The
entire loss from the storm will be over
$500,000, which, on account of the
scarcity of tornado insurance, will be
largely "a. total loss. The principal
damage to barns is house roofngs,
outbuildings, crops and stock.
The storm, unlike the usual order of
.Weste lones, was in the nature of
a. trepiee1 ;gales which swept across the
STRICKEN. country with undated fury
for over an hour. -

Nothing has occurred to disturb the

ones attracted to the announcement.

lasting night and day for q week, the
house passed the Philippine civil gov:
eminent bill practically as it came
from the committee. " was a party
vote, za41t TO 81, with the exception of
MI. Mccall az of Z. Massachusetts. who
voted with the Democrats. The mi:
nor1ty substitute for the estabH shment
Of a9fempo;acy government in the, isl
ands and their permanent independ:
ence as soon as stable government
could be established was defeated by
95 to 1876. -
- The debate during the day was at
times OF lively character. The Dem
ocrats ohered a multitude of amend
ments, but all were. voted down, in
Guiding one offered by Mr.. Patterson
OF Tennessee to prohibit slavery or
involuntary servitude in the islands.
The greatest interest attached to an
amendment offered by Mr.. Mccall
:(Rep., Mass.) to the end of the bill to
declare the policy of the United States
to be to develop the capacity of the
Filipinos for selt-government and
pledglng the faith of the United States
to: grant them self-government. He
supported the amendments in an elo-
quent speech and the Democrats chal-
lenged their political adversaries to
declare their future policy. Mr.. eros
venor (O) and Mr.. Cooper (Wis.) said
it would be unwise to mortgage the
future by making such: a declaration
now and the latter quoted Governor
Taft: as saying that such "a promise
now would tend to prevent the pacifi-
cation 'of. the islands. The. amend
ment was lost, soto 12S. It was a
strict party vote, except for Mr.. Nc
Call and Mr.. Littlefeld {Me.), who
