but the shouting. Yesterday there ap-
peared to be a lighting chance for POST
master Doyle's reappointment. but this
hope, Of course, was shattered by General
Payne's announcement today.
Senator Clay said this morning that
Deveaux's confirmation as collector of
customs at Savannah could not be defeat
ed in the senate unless charges can be
made and sustained as to either incompe-
tency in office or bad character.
"A fight on color lines alone" he said,
cannot possibly win. 1t would result in
giving Deveaux the entire Republican
vote"
This statement from Senator Clay clear
ly defines the situation here. However
strong the Georgia senators might fight
the confirmation, the Republicans have
the votes and will cast them to sustain
the presidents dark choice 1t is said
today the determination to send in the
negro's appointment was formed at the
conference between the president and SEN
ator Hanna at Hanna's breakfast table

ST0WAWAYS WERE KILLED
WHILE SHIP WAS C0ALING

NEW YORK, May 2.-When the British
freight steamship Sir Richard Grenville,
from the West Indies, arrived in port,
Captain Jones reported the tragic death
of two West Indian stowaways.
The vessel stopped at half a dozen west
Indian ports, among them being st. Lu-
cia where she coaled. 1t Is at this port,
Captain Jones believes, the stowaways,
who WsaN negroes, managed to get aboard
the vessel by. letting themselves down to
the coal bunkers through the chutes. The
men had evidently miscalculated the time
that the steamship was going to remain
at st. Lucia, and did not know the vessel
was to coal up. After they had reached
the coal bunkers many tons Of coal were
taken on board. and the two stowaways
were literally buried alive.
Nothing was known to the captain or
crew of the tragic death of the men until
the morning Of April 18th, after the YES
sci had left Guantanamo, loaded with SUI
gar for New York, when one of the bodies
slid through the coal chute into the fur
mace room. At the time the stockers were
piling coal into the furnace while the YES
sci was making hard fight against
northeasterly gale.
The sight of the body sent a shiver
through the stockers, and caused them
to temporarily quit work.
Captain Jones was notified Of the dis
covery and after making sure that the
stowaway was dead, ordered the body
buried in the sea.
Six days later the stokers were again
Mortified by another body which came
through the coal chute into the furnace
room.
A search was then made of the coal
bunkers, but no more bodies were found.

WORLDS FAIR
POSTPONED
To 1904
THE EXHIBITS FROM FOREIGN
COUNTRIES CANNOT BE GOT
READY IN TIME FOR NEXT
YEAR.

ST. LOUIS, May "A statement given
out Yesterday evening by President David
r. Francis. Of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition company. says in part:
For many months the st. Louis worlds
fair has virtually been postponed for one
year. A decided majority OF the olrectoFs
prefer 1904.
''The repeated request Of both domestic
and foreign exhibitors for postponment;
advices from foreign governments TO the
effect that they had not sufncient time
in which TO make preparations Tor rep
resentative exhibit in 1903; the statement
OF Governor Taft that the philippines,
would not be able to install their ex-
hibits In a creditable manner If the ex-
nositfon should not be postponed 10 1904;
the expressed fear OF the government ar
chitect that he could not procure materiai
for a government building by 1903 ana the
fact that the general public for months
past considered postponement q foregone
conclusion, were some OF the reasons that
moved the executive COMMITTEES 10 au-
thorfze me to inform the national COM
mission that any action OF congress
changing the time Of the exposition from
1903 to 1904 would be acceptable. Inc TEL
egram from President Carter. Of the ma
tional commission, was received At $50
yesterday afternoon.
Senator Cockerell wired US yesterday
afternoon that the sundry civil bill would
pass the senate on Saturday and II q
change Of date was to be incorporated
therein congress should be Immediately
advised OF the wishes of the local cor
poration. There was not sufficient time
in which to call a meeting OF the board
of directors to take action on the sub
ject consequently the executive commit
tee authorizes me to express their wishes
to the effect that postponement should
be ordained by congress.
AFTER receipt of Mr.. Carriers telegram
I framed a reply. setting forth the con-
clusion of the executive committee, but
before sending the message made an ef-
fort TO get the views of every director In
the city. Up to this hour over nifty or
them have been consulted, and without an
exception every one favored postpone
ment. 1 have therefore replied 10 Presi-
dent Carter, of the national commission,
to that effect and have asked that our
conclusions be submitted to congress and
to the president. I think there Is no
doubt as to the action congress viii take
and that it will be in favor Of postpone
ment"

MAN BLOWN THROUGH
The AIR LIKE A BIRD

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 2.-Three tor
nadoes simultaneously swept through
three different counties in central Iowa
last night, resulting in serious injuries to
twelve persons and over $4,000 damages
to property and growing crops
The injured are:
David Hardin, Of Bayard.
Hazel Williams. of Weldon, will die.
Louise williams, of Weldon, will die.
Mrs O'Harra and two children, of We'll
don.
]. w. Munirni wife and four children, Of
Lohrville. The mother will die.
The storms swept over 100 miles apart,
one going through Bayard, town OF 800
inhabitants in Guthrie county, another the
towns of Weldon and Van Vert, in De-
catur county. and the third through Lohr-
VILE, in Calhoun county. The wind blew
at velocity of 20 miles an hour and was
followed by a deluge of rain. which in
some places reached the proportions Of a
waterspout.
All telegraph wires were levelled and
details were not known until today, and
then only meagerly.
At Coon Rapids. ten miles west, there
was no wind. The storm seemed to sweep
on Bayard, where ii spent its force, there
being no reports of damage east Of that
point.
David Hardin was caught in the path
of the storm and fifteen minutes after IL
had passed was found hanging to a tree.
He was unconscious all night and this
morning cannot recall what happened to
him. 1t is thought that he was struck
with flying debris.
Eye witnesses say that the tornado did
not occupy more than nine seconds in
passing through the town. The direction
was from west to east.
Wires of all kinds are down in the neigh
borhood of Bayard and communication
with the town is almost impossible.
Another severe wind storm is reported
to have taken place five miles north of
Rippey, Green county and fifteen miles
from Bayard. At this point the school
house and three barns were completely
destroyed.
Four persons seriously hurt, two horses
killed and several houses demolished con-
stitute the extent of the damage caused
by the tornado at Van Vert last night.
Further details received here state that
FIVE people were hurt in houses wrecked
by last nights tornado between Van Vert
and Weldon. fifty miles south Of here. The
storm struck a mile east Of Van Vert and
Travelled in a northeasterly direction just
missing Weldon. Two houses are reported
blown to pieces. In one of these Louise and
Helen Williams were pinioned in the de-
bris and were hurt by flying timbers. They
will probably die.

CONSUMPTION OF BEEF
FALLS OFF 81 PR CENT

CHICAGO. May THAT the consump-
ton OF beef has fallen OF 81 1-2 per cent
since the agitation against the packers
began was admitted by leading packers
seen by a reporter today. The percentage
given averages the calculations of the
packers seen. Prices held steady during
the forenoon, chiefly, II was said, because
some export orders were being filled. One
thousand beef cattle-not 10000. as was
reported-were left over from yesterday.
Opinions varied as to whether the trade
today would clear up the $1,000 head re-
ceived. One buyer declared that there
would be more than a thousand left over,
while another expressed the opinion that
the export business would clean up the
lot. A report of one of the packing houses
said that the yards have received 5000
head OF cattle today. A year ago today
the receipts were 17.731 head. Receipts for
April were estimated at approximately
10000 head less than for the month a
year ago.
