IDAHO DAMAGED
BY SEVERE STOR NJ
IN SEVERAL TOWNS 1T AMOUNT

ARE ENTERTAINED THAT
THERE is LOSS OF LIFE.

Council Bluffs. Iowa. July 5.-South-
western Idaho was visited this evening
by the worst storm of the year. In sew
eral towns ii amounted to a tornado and
fears are entertained that there has been
a loss of life. The damage to corn and
unharvested small grains has been very
great. In some places the rain which fol-
lowed the storm amounted almost to
cloudburst.
At Whiting a dozen buildings are re-
ported destroyed and a Mrs. Campbell
and two members of the family of Will
liam Barber, were badly hurt.
at Anthony, twenty buildings were de-
moished by tornado and at that place

known that a number of persons were
injured though names cannot be obtain
ed. Communication is cut off by wire.
The town is in darkness.
At Rockwell City, the damage by wind
was less serious, but the rain fell in
binding sheets for an hour and the whole
country is under water. Crops were beat
en- into the ground and are a total loss
in many cases.
At Oakland, in this county, there was
deluge of water. accompanied by
heavy fall of hail, which did much dam

SALISBURY WILL RETIRE.
VIII Not Resign, However, Until the
King Has Been Crowned.

London, July Sat the earliest possible
moment Lord Salisbury contemplates re-
firing from public life. But that sever
ance from the affairs of the empire, which
he has so long administered is not likely
to come until after the coronation and
1t may possibly be still further delayed
for unseen reasons of state and politics.
During the last few months the pre-
mier has more and more detached him
self from the care of office. With in
creasing age his dislike of publicity and
dread of details which high office-hold-
ing involves have been strengthened into
an antipathy so strong as to render even
the conservative leaders less importunate
in their demands that he remain premier.
Those who have recently been brought
into contact with the aged statesman pri-
vately comment on his absent mindedness
which is only overcome by great effort
when it is absolutely necessary for him
to deliver a public interest on a ques-
tion of public affairs. Peace in South
Africa has been procured and Lord Sails
bury is said TO consider the crowning of
the King as the moment that his service
to the nation may most fittly be ended

BILE settlement of the strike.

tice of the company that 1t was ready
to receive applications The Pardees are
expected to mass men at the Harwood

hanna Coal Company. 1t is also stated
that from the Wyoming division mines Of
the Delaware, Laekawanna and Western
Company, one colliery will be selected at

say enough miners of the division have
asked for work to man a colliery. Indi-
cations are that some move Is to be
made.

Washington, July 5.-Just a1eer the oc-
cupation of Havana by the United States
troops in 1898, the War Department Sc
cured by lease a large warehouse be-
longing to private persons and located
at Triscornia, across the bay from the
city Of Havana. About two thousand
tons of coal belonging to this govern
ment is still in this building. The War
Department also built a railroad from
the wharf at Triscornia connecting with
the existing interior railroad system, a
few miles from the bay.
The Cuban government naturally does
not 0are to see manifestation of for
eign presence near Havana and it has
signined a disposition to discuss with the
United States authorities the subject of
the removal OF the coal and the abandon
ment of the place as a coal station.
Incidentally the subject of the transfer

Roosevelt Given Warm Reception BY
Denisons of oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay. L. l.. July 5.-President
Roosevelt arrived here at 5A6 this af-
ternoon and was given very cordial
welcome. When the train approached the
little station of the Long Island railroad
every whistle IN fhe village through
pre-arranged signal, was set going and
the old friends and associates of the.
President gathered on the platform to
extend greetings. A large crowd sur
rounded him and for time prevented his
children, Kermet, Ethel and Archie, who
had been awaiting him. from getting to
him. Mrs Roosevelt did not come to
the depot. but Assistant Secretary Loeb
was there. After exchanging greetings
with his friends and neighbors the Pres
ident entered an open surry with his three
children and started in violent rain and
thunder storm for HSagamore HILL
Neither the President nor the children
seemed any the worse for the drenching
they had in their homeward drive. The
trip across to the Long Island railroad
depot was made in carriages under the
escort of four mounted officers. One Of
these was Patrolman Hefferman whom
Mr. Roosevelt, when police commissioner,
had breveted for signal bravery, in stop
ping runaway horse. The President
took occasion to refer to this fact
The scenes and faces around the Long
Island depot across the river were fami-
liar to the President and he frequently
stopped to shake hands with some old
friend.
The question of location of the .execu-
tive office at Oyster Bay remains unset
tied. 1t will probably be decided Mon
day.

xAk President Mitchell of the Uni

address before the striking nremen. who
held a meeting in this city today. If Mr..
Mitehell's remarks are to be taken as the
sentiment at strike headquarters there
is little probability that the miners are
yet willing to give up the fight. Mr..
Mitchell spoke as follows.
Il am well pleased with the showing
made by the steam men in obeying the
strike order and the frmness displayed by
them ever since. This is the battle of our
lives. as It means the success or downfall
of our union in the anthracite region.
"Of all the strikes of my recollection or
of any that l have participated In. there
never was one l was so confident of win

the day is not far away when my words
Will como true.
Those fellow workers among your
craft who refused 20 obey the strike or

since. Will have reason to regret their ac-
lion. This great strike will never be
settled with my consent unless every man
that left his place with us in our battle,
shall be returned to his formar posi-

to remain firm and determined. as success
was certain.
