Baltimore and vicinity were Wis

Baltimore and vicinity were Wis
tied by a terrific wind, and hail
storm, with cyclonic features,
on Sunday last, about noon. In
the territory east of Broad
way to the city limits and be-
tween Chase street and Ashland
avenue several hundred houses
were unroofed, and many had their
upper stories crushed in. Besides
the damage to buildings heavy loss
resulted to furniture in the partly
wrecked dwellings. No lives were
lost, but there were many narrow
escapes. There was also consider
able damage along Fulton avenue
and in the suburbs. The loss, it is
estimated, will approximate, fully
a quarter OF a million dollars. Two
hundred houses were damaged in
the tornado section in East Balti-
more alone.

ARE BETWEEN TWO TROUBLES

The Salt Lake Tribune is glad to note the restiYeness of the majority of the United States senate over the effect of the antiquate rules of that body, which practically stop the prog gress of legislation at the will of any member who may wish to debate a measure, and to stop that progress as long as any one is willing to talk the mercy of the minority all the time, and the republicans are getting tired of it. Then the Tribune adds:
 The particular things that calls the subject of procedure up at this time is the antitrust bills, which the democrats constantly oppose in de- tail, and then blame the republicans for not passing. The situation has become a nuisance, and it is no won der that those who are responsible | for legislation are getting very tired ! of a condition of affairs which ena- bles the opposition to defeat without
 
 prejudice to themselves any measure of popular interest, and then go be- fore the people with an arraignment ! of the republican party for not passing ' it."
 That much is all true, but it is only | half the story, and the Tribune could i have made it much more interesting | by telling the other half. The repub- l lican majority is becoming very tired
 of being tied up, and having the ] wheels Of legislation blocked by the democratic minority. and if there were nothing at stake but trust bills the 'antiquated rules" might possibly be
 amended so as to prevent them from 1 being used to defeat the will of the
 majority But it so happens that a
 number Of senators on the republican
 side are relying upon these same an ! cient rules to enable them to defeat ! the will of the majority in the matter

SUFFERING POOR SHOULD COME

Thirty thousand miserable peas. ants are starving to death in Sweden -Recer: telegram.
 Details are unnecessary. The sim pie announcement tells the whole story. Thirty thousand human be ings, in this day and generation, resi- dents Of a civilized nation, with a his tory reaching back to the earliest days feeding like wild animals upon the bark of forest trees to preserve their lives, tells tale of human woe and suffering hard to believe. The fail ure of crops are given as the cause of the disaster. It is said means are being provided to relieve them.
 The residents of America, a land
 iguratively speaking, overfowing with milk and honey, where the poor est if industrious, may provide him self with the necessaries of life, can scarcely conceive that a people can be reduced to the extremity reached by not a few of the peasants of Swe- den. One is at a loss to comprehend why a people should continue to in- habit such a country! With the great west and southwest abounding with homes for the poor and needy and industrious, he wonders why the .overworked and suffering of every cline do not avail themselves of the opportunity held out to them One wonders, and then wonders again. why the exodus from foreign lands IS composed, so largely of the abjecc poor. and of the lame and of the halt and of the blind. 4 word explains the situation. Foreign nations are not averse to losing burdens. hence they aid the departure of dependents while inducements to remain are held out to the strong, active. young and healthy. What fine fled our immi- grafton laws afford for radical revis- ion.
 Want and suffering have not yet entered the domain of this great west, but none can say when certain local ities may endure the sting of poverty. But so long as pestilence yields to our health giving, life giving mountain ozone and saunt famine is fattened by contact with our plethoric ore depos- it's and fat range steers. the west, like a young giant, will parcel out homes to the needy and oppressed of every nation from Sweden to the Meditteran- can, and from Siberian Russia to the Atlantic. The land of the free and the home of the brave has the latch string of it's outer doors ever hanging within the reach of every deserving poor of every cline.

IT practically useless. and Cortes got out
an Injunction MIR. Cortes claims that by
the treaty of peace between the United

continued in force in the Philippine Is
lands, and under the Spanish hws he has
prescripuve rigI- to the use Of the win

M0BLAW IN KENTUCKY
MURDERER HANGED WHILE
AWAITING RESULT OF APPEAL.
Begged for His Life, but Was Shown
No Mercy by Angry
Men.

MAYSV1LLE, KY. July 15.-Enraged at
the tardiness of the courts a mob broke into
the Flemingsburg Jail this morning and
hanged William Thacker. a white man,
who had been given life sentence for the
murder of John Gordon two years ago.
Thacker. in a quarrel with Gordon at Fox
port. shot and killed him and then sat on
the body. Winchester in hand, while he
smoked his pipe. and dared any one to at
tempt to arrest him. At the time Thacker
escaped. but was later arrested and lodged
in Jail at F'lemingsburg. He was given two
trials and finally got life sentence.
Gordon was good citizen and an inoffen-
sive man. After being sentenced Thacker
appealed to the court of appeals, and was
some money and was able to command the
support of some influential men, and 1t
was feared that he might escape punish
ment altogether.
Took Keys by Force.
The mob collected at Mount Carmel, where
Gordon once lived, and came into Flemings-
burg by twos and threes in order not to
arouse suspicion. They advanced upon the
Jail shortly after midnight The jailer re-
fused to surrender the keys. He was over
powered and the keys taken from him.
Thacker was hurried to tree near the Jail
and was given time In which to say his
for his life. To hush his cries he was hit
on the head with a rock and his uncon-
scious body strung up until life had become
extinct.
