INDIANA,S TORNADO
Was Worst Since 1S73-Damage viii
Reach Million and Half.

Indiana polls, Ind, June 26.-Today's
information indicates that the tornado
which swept across the state from
northwest to southwest, yesterday, was
the most destructive that has visited
the state since 1878. The path of de-
struction extended for about Is miles
and varied in width from three to six
miles. In this path factories were
wrecked. houses unroofed and blown
from their foundations; thousands of
acres of growing crops We're torn TO
pieces by the wind or cut into shreds
by the hail; cattle were killed and tee-
graph and telephone poles were
snapped off and the wires scattered in
confusion along the highways and lines
Of railway.
Great as the damage was and as in
tense as the fury Of the storm was, it
is remarkable that only two persons
were killed-James Van Hoy, a young
man of -, crushed in a falling barn at
Pcndlcton, and James Bailey, a farmer
caught in the wreck at McCordSVille.
a conservative estimate of the total
damage places it in the neighborhood
of 81 500, 900.

A RECIPROCITY TREATY
Being Drawn Up by Cuban Minister
and Acting Sec. Hill.

Washington, June 26.-SenOr Quesada,
the Cuban minister, and Acting Secrc-
tary Hill, We're engaged, today, in go
ing over the bases of a reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Cuba. The matter has progressed to
the point where it has been proposed
TO draft the convention and it would
be easy to complete it and reduce it to
the final form in which it would go to
the Senate, in very short time.
These negotiations do not signify that
it is the intention to submit a reciprO-
city treaty to the Senate at the pres
rnt session, though the Cuban minis
ter mas professed his Willingness ANA
ability, if the thing were desired, to
secure promptly from his government
the powers needed to enable him to
conclude the treaty and the administra-
ton regards it as a wise precaution to
have treaty all prepared and ready
Cor immediate ratification.
The state department is carefully
protecting the details Of the schedules
rs they are so far embodied in the
treaty, but it is believed that they are
very similar to the items set out in the
pending Cuban reciprocity bill.

A violin which formerly was the nrop-
crty Of Herman Schiffcrl. a violin man
ufacturer who died in MINNEAPOLIS last
summer, IS said to be bcwitched. A
weird, uncannX mystery surrounds il.
which has not Yet been cleared away
BY any reasonable explanation. II Il
said that the violin gives forth musical
sounds which have been distinctly
heard by human ears. while no human
hands We're seen to touch the instru-
ment
The first time that the sounds came
from the violin was during the week
following Mr.. Schifferl's death. and the
instrument was then hanging i'm what
formerly was the workshop, 424 Nicol-
let avenue. There were several other
Vlollns hanging at either side Of it, but
Mrs Schifferl, who was the only one in
the shop at the time, has declared that
she heard strains Of music, and that
they came from this particular violin.
Her friends assured her that she must
nave been dreaming, or that she imag-
incd that she heard the sounds. Others
said that current of air might have
caused the strings to give forth the
notes which Mrs. Schifferl heard.
These explanations did not change
Mrs. Schifferls opinion. She was per-
fectly sure that she heard the sounds,
ana that none Of the causes mentioned
We're responsible.
After a time the violin went into the
possession Of Miss Verna Golden, the
violinist. and while it was at her home.
3O19 Lyndale avenue, the violin again
was heard to play.
It was left in room upstairs and
was the only violin there. The mem
bers of the family who were at home
were seated at the dinner table. They
dclare that they heard violin play.
and that the sounds came from the
room where this violin lay, out of its
case. Miss Golden was not at home
when the mysterious sounds were
heard.
The violin is very good one, an Ital-
ian copy. but does not look especially
different from other violins of the same
kind.

few stragglers became deserted. Inside
the palace the members Of the royal
family spent quiet evening and the
number Of callers was smaller than any
night this week.
With the favorable progress Of the
King there is much discussion as to
how the coronation will eventually be
| effected. While nothing has in any
way been definitely settled, it appears
that King Edward is likely to celebrate
this event very quietly, and with mere
" the ceremony that attends the OPEN
ing Of Parliament. This consists Of n
drive direct to Westminster abbey ac-
companied by small escort and a
speedy return to Buckingham palace
and it is rumored that no foreign
princes or ENJOYS will be especially in
vited for the occasion. All this, Of
course is quite in the air, but it forms
one of the chief topics Of LOndon'S
daily conversation.
Hundreds Of visitors to London, es-
pecially Americans and people from the
country. nocked to Westminster Abb
hey, today, and until late at night, Gu
rious and rather awe stricken crowds
stood gazing at the place where Ed
ward VII should have been crowned.
The artificial coronation annex, which
is one Of the few parts Of the Abbey not
hidden by stands attracted special at
tention. twined with a pathOs that its
tragic futility could scarcely suggest.
Providing King Edward maintains
his present rate of improvement, Lon
don will soon be emptied of its crowds,
and the postponed coronation will be
looked forward to as an occasion for Sc
/ date thanksgiving, bereft of pageantry.
