thunderstorm, accompanied by a high
wind, struck Pittsburg, Pa, and vicinity
yesterday afternoon, and besides killing
one man, did considerable property
damage. Milton w. Robinson, a resi-
dent of West Pittsburg, drove to Schen--
ley Park with a party of friends for an
afternoons enjoyment. When the
storm came up Robinson sought shelter
from the drenching rain under big ash
tree in Panther Hollow He had been
there but moment when lightning
struck the tree, literally tearing it to
pieces and killing Robinson instantly.

we're within 25 feet of him at the time,
escaped without even a shock from the
bolt. At Braddock lightning struck 4
street car on the McKeesport branch Of
the Pittsburg Railway Company and
caused panic among the passengers,
many of the men jumping from the car
as it sped down the hill. Three of
them were pretty badly bruised. The
women passengers tried to jump also,
but were prevented by some Of the
coolerheaded among the men. Much
damage was done to shade trees, many

A SPECIAL dispatch to the New York
Herald from Washington says:

A SPECIAL dispatch to the New York
Herald from Washington says:
Rumors in circulation among the
Washington alumni of the University OF
Virginia lead to the belief that Prof
John Bassett Moore, of Columbia Uni
versitv. will fail of election to the presi-
dencv of the University of Virginia be-
cause of his reported attitude on the ne
gro question. The famous old Virginia
Institution never has had president,
but it was recently decided to elect one
The New York alumni pressed the name
Of Professor Moore, former assistant
secretary of State. The Washington
alumni placed the name of Mr.. Moore at
the head of a list of four men, the choice
Of any one of whom would be gratifying
TO them. Since it has been whispered
about that he is mot sound on the ne
gro question" many of his former sup
porters in Washington are falling away
from him.
The Alexandria alumni also Endorsed
Prof. Moore, and they too should hasten
to "fall away from him" should there be
the slightest doubt as to his soundness
on the race question. The truth is it
was a sorry day for the university when
it was decided to adopt the new tangled
Yankee idea of having president for
the grand old institution which had ac-
quired all her grandeur without one.

Endeavoring to End Labor War.

Chicago, May 25.-Conseryative labor
leaders will attempt today to gain con-
troll of the local industrial situation and
bring to close the period of agitation
and unrest that is threatening Chicago
with a disastrous labor war. President
Michael Donnely of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutter and Butchers Association,
who is at the head of the movement at
the yards, went so far yesterday as to in
form the laborers that they must accept
a fair compromise from the packers on
their wage scale cor have their union
charter torn from the walls" Coupled
with the announcement of policy by the
conservatives came the statement that
James B Glow & Sons, manufacturers
of radiasors, plumbing and gas supplies,
and iron piping, have abandoned a pro-
ect of doubling the capacity of their
plants. The company now employs
more than 1000 men and had intended
making its plants the largest OF their
kind in the world.

The Oklahoma Cyclone.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25.-The de-
tails of the cyclone which wrecked
Carmen, Okla, killing VIM. Brown, a
drummer, and injuring9 others were re-
ceived today by Mesico and Orient Off
Gals. For an hour previous to the
breaking of the cyclone hot and cold air
currents alternated with absolute calm,
driving everybody into storm cellars
which accounts for the small loss of life.
The wind demolished churches, post
office, three livery stables, a new hotel
and a lodging house, six residences and
nine stores and factories. The front OF
every store in town was ruined and
nearly every house was moved OIL Its
foundation. Total darkness prevailed.

MONDAY EVENING. MAY 25, 1908.

OPPOSITION to President Roosevelt,
heretofore latent and concealed, threat
ems to burst into open activity in the
Ohio State convention. No other con-
struction can be placed upon the atti-
tude assumed by Senator hanna in
declaring his objections to a resolution
endorsing the President for another
term. At the bottom of the threatened
trouble, is the old jealousy and bitter
ness of the Hanna and Foraker political
feud. Senator Foraker, having learned
that Senator Hanna did not intend to
permit an endorsement Of the President
hyslthe convention, promptly seized
upon the circumstance to make a bid
for the State leadership and to strength
en- himself at the expense of his Sena-
torial colleague. But Notwithstanding
this Senator Hanna's stand appears to
be one of opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt
He virtually announces the possibility
that a year from now the Ohio State
convention may not wish to instruct
delegates to the national convention tC
vote for Roosevelt, which necessarily
means that some other candidate may
then be in the field. Senator Hanna
Ohio friends hope the other candidate
may be Senator Hanna but the latter
will not encourage this sentiment.
Senator Foraker's ambition, in the
meantime, is not so much to promote
the interests of Mr.. Roosevelt, as To
make Senator Hanna declare his pur-
poses or to steal the convention from
him with Mr. ROosevelts popularity
May the war go on till the three are
eliminated from politics.

Fatal Ending of Auto Race.

Paris, May 25.-Great public indigna-
ton has been aroused by the list of fatal
accidents which followed in the wake of
the first stage of the Psris-Madrid auto
race yesterday. The race to Madrid is
off, as the Spanish premier, following the
example of Premier Combes, has for
hidden the contestants to go at racing
speed on Spanish soil. Reports of yes
terday's accidents continue to come in
and while several of those reported dead
are still alive, they were so badly injured
that they will either die or be left par
tial cripples for life. l.. Porter whose
machine exploded was seriously and per-
haps fatally injured. Nixon, a chauffeur,
was caught under the blazing machine
and cremated. Besides Nixon two SOL
diers and child were killed by the ex-
plosion. The latest complete casualty
list places the dead at six, and the in
iured at six. An explanation for the
accident is found in the dust which was
raised and the large number of Compel
itors. The dust was so thick, that the
chaufeurs for the greater part OF the time
were unable to see the hedges along the
road, much less the other competitors.
Two hundred and forty-eight autos
started at minute intervals, and all rush
ing at top speed through constantly
denser atmosphere made the catastrophe
inevitable.
Word was received from Poitiers this
afternoon that Marcel Renault whose
skull was fractured by his being thrown
against tree, had succumbed to his in
iuries. He is the seventh victim.
