HUNDREDS OF BUSINESS HOUSES
AND THOUSANDS OF RESI-
CENCES DAMAGED.
VICTIMS OF TORNADO.

ST. Paul. Aug. 23--Eleven dead, 104
injured and q property loss of over
$2,000.000 is a verified record of the
damage inflicted by the cyclone which
passed over st. Paul and vicinity Sat
urday night, leaving in it's path a
scene OF desolation and a calamity
stricken people.
In this city persons are dead and
AZ injured; in Minneapolis / man is
dead and Ia persons injured; in Waco
mia are dead and 20 injured, and in
st. Louis Park 3 are dead and 25 in
jured. The list of victims is as fol.
lows:
ST. Paul-George Keaton, aged sew
enteen, Lourien S. Johanson, aged
twenty-two; Viola Robertson, aged
twelve.
Minneapolis Alfred w. Hilgediek,
opel ator at Minneapolis Junction,
struck by lightning.
Maconia-August Moy, forty years
old; Mrs. August Moy, thirty-eight
years old; Baby Moy, one year old;
Robert Lohman, thirty-nine years old.
st. Louis Park--Albert Ohde, saloon
keeper; John Iiedger, six years old;
AIna Hodge.
The damage to property is estimated

st. Paul, 81 100000; Minneapolis, $780,
900, st. Louis Park, $4,000, Waconia,
$4,000; Saltwater, 100000; outside
districts, S500,0OQ.
High Bridge Partially Destroyed.
The greatest single property loss at
st. Paul was the destruction OF two
spans of the high bridge, burden
which will fall upon the city at large.
The other damage is distributed
among thousands OF residences and
hundreds of business houses.
The storm confined its area mainly
to the localities where fatalities are
reported, although Saltwater reports
q loss OF 100000. In both st. Paul
and Minneapolis the business districts
suffered severely, several wholesale
houses being unroofed and hundreds
of plate glass windows being blown
in, causing immense damage to stocks.
In the residence district of st. Paul,
principally. in Lower Town and Ar
lington Hills, many houses are com
plete wrecks and others are seriously
damaged.
In Minneapolis, considering the in
tensity OF the storm, the residence dis
tricts of the city escaped with COM
paratively slight damage. Although a
few structures were unroofed and the
contents of the buildings drenched
with water as a rule the people OF
these districts suffered no great loss.
At Waconia, OF the 100 houses, resi-
dences and stores, seventy are more
or less demolished and in the country
for strip one-half mile in width ex-
tending four miles along the Mime
apolis and ST. Louis tracks east and

Storm Divides at ST. Paul.

The scene of wreck and ruin in ST.
Paul extends from the Minnesota
transfer through to the eastern limits
OF the city and no locality escaped
without some damage. The storm, be-
heyed to have been a genuine cyclone
as it approached Fort Smelling from
the southwest, divided at the fort and,
rushing onward in two main sections,
made clean sweep of the city. The
section which caused the greatest
wreck followed down the Mississippi
close to the south bank, wrecking two
l00-foot spans of the high bridge, leay-
ing a trail OF ruined trees and build
ings on beautiful Harriet island, veer-
ing across to the north end of the
Wabasha street bridge and destroying
the Tiyoli theater like cardhouse,
killing two, thence taking a course
due northeast through the heart of the
Wholesale district and on through
Lower Town and out across Arlington
Hills to the city limits, where it
Feered again and twenty minutes later
caused tremendous loss of property in
Saltwater.
The second portion of the tornado
cloud followed the Minnesota river for
a short distance, then swept down on
the Minnesota transfer, leyeling two
huge grain elevators to the ground.
From that point the clouds seem to
have distributed themselves and taken
more easterly course over the Mer-
riam Park and st. Anthony Hill dis
tricts, covering a tremendous area and
inf1icting almost equal damage every
where.

tory in which fifty young girls were

than a mile due south, the storm at
the same instant swept the finest resi-
dence street in America, demolishine

tury, tearing up beautiful lawns and
causing damage which it will take
months to repair.

was a tremendous suction in the wake
of the winds. which caved in walls,
broke every sheet of glass 4n dozens OF
buildings and carried away the roofs OF
many more. There was the same
crashing impact of the tornado cloud,
followed by a brief lull, and second
impact, which was even more violent
than the first. There was the same
crashing rush, over within few mo-
ments, revealing work of ruin little
short of marvellous, considering the
time within which the destruction was
wrought

a fever of excitement during the aft.
ernoon by the arrival of a Japanese
torpedo boat, which was sighted com.
ing in from the south at 80 o'clock.
She passed Woosung at full speed and
started up the river Ju for Shanghai.
The United States torpedo boat de-
stroyer Chauncey slipped her cable
and followed the Japanese destroyer.
The Japanese boat was cleared for ac-
ton. She anchored off the Cosmopoli-
tan dock, where the Russian cruiser
Askold is undergoing repairs. The
Chauncey came TO anchor practically
between the dock and the Japanese
destroyer.

Washington, Aug est Is asserted
positively at the navy department
that the American fleet at Shanghai
is not charged with the protection of
Chinese neutrality by any special in
structions. The officials here are con.
vinced that the Japanese have no in
tention of violating Chinese neutrality
and, furthermore, that they would not
jeopardize the immensely valuable for
eign interests In Shanghai by making
the harbor naval battle-ground.
No instructions have been sent TIC
Admiral Stirling to interfere with the
action OF Japanese vessels.
