Of Austria and Russia with the view
Of improving the condition Of the

accomplished by them he had hopes
that the other signatories OF the Der

end the intolerable state Of things"
would be able to devise a cure for the
"disease affecting that portion ofthe

TWELVE DEATHS THE RESULT

Widespread Danger Caused by Terrific
Storm at O'clock ia the Morn
Hanceville, Ala, April S.-A tor
nado passed over Hopewell settle
ment, one and one-han miles south
of here, at 2 O'Clock this morning,
and as a result twelve persons are
dead, four fatally injured and many
more OF less seriously hurt, while the
destruction to property is heavy.
The storm came from the south
east, and its roar was so terrific that
it woke many persons, some OF whom
fled from their houses In time to es-
cape death by having the houses
blown down on them.
Buildings were tossed about like
paper boxes and several structures
were blown hundred yards or more.
The body Of Mccoy, who was APRON
inent farmer, was blown 200 yards
and landed in a sand pit.
The house OF Mrs. John Norton was
blown down, but the family escaped
by crawling under the bed while the
timbers and brick fell on top OF the
bed, breaking the force OF the fall.
The houses OF the 0den and Griffin
families were smashed to splinters,
and it seems marvellous that any of
their occupants escaped death.
Trees were uprooted in all dlrec.
tions, and many were blown across
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
tack, delaying trains for time.
The roar OF the storm was heard at
Hanceville, where it awoke many
persons, but no damage was done
there.
As soon as the destruction wrought
was made known here reseuers hur.
ried to the scene to give attention to
the dead and wounded.

Washington, April S.-While the
vpstigations being conducted into
the affairs of the postoffiee depart
ment by Mr.. Bristow, the fourth as
sistant postmaster general, relate en-
tirely to charges Of extravaganza
and official irregularities, thefriction
among officials Of the department
has become so pronounced that
charges and countercharges are being
daily banded about between
branches OF the service.
An effort has been made to involve
the postmaster generals Immediate
stan in the scandal through the pub
ication of gossip and charges con-
cerning the connection OF Mr.. FL. Il.
Rand with a copper miningcompany
Offered and controlled by employees
Of the postoftice department The
gossip has been to the effect thatem'
ployes Of the department have been
practically required to purchase
stock in this company in order to re-
tain the support and influence oil the
bends OF divisions who are Interested
In the concern.
Mr.. Machen, general superintendent
Of free delivery, is president OF the
company, He asserts that he has
discouraged employees from purchas'
ing stock. The capital is limited
and he has not desired, he says, to
have minor employees OF the depart
ment interested in it.
Mr.. Rand is also an official OF the
copper company, Mr.. Rand has
long been the confidential clerk OF
MIR. Payne and was assigned to duty
in the department, when Mr.. Payne
became postmaster general. Now 1t
is charged that his assignment was
in violation OF the civil service rules.
No charge has been filed to this ei-
feet, the parties to the internecine
warm the department being satisfied
with circulating reports for the pur-
pose OF attempting to draw MIR.
