Lake Michigan. The maps Of the
weather bureau show that at the time
the storm broke here Sunday evening,
Chicago was in the southeast quad
rant of a cyclone area, and it is in that
quadrant that tornadoes are made The
conditions at that time. moreover, were
complete for the worst kind of a
"twister," and, according to the ex-
perts of the weather office, this con-
dition, fifty miles inland, would have
produced a tornado worse than that
which wrought wreck and ruin in ST
Paul and Minneapolis Saturday night
The great area of dry. cool air that
hangs over Lake Michigan was the
bulwark that saved Chicago Sunday
night. There is no record of tornado
cloud ever having been observed near
any of the Great Lakes. nor in the
vicinity of any large body of cold
water.
There is q wide difference between
a cyclone and a tornado as the terms
are used by meteOrOlUgists, and the
two commonly are COMPOUNDED by the
public. A cyclone is a storm, general
in character sometimes travelling thou
sands of miles and keeping up its vio-
lence. AS it's name indicates. it has
circular movement, but the diameter of
the circle may be 500 miles.
The hardest blows from a storm of
this kind ever recorded in Chicago
We're in 1000 part OF the Same storm
that destroyed Galveston.

than the members themselves, just as
they mad in the case of MacmOnnies
Bacchante. which was rejected by the
METROPOLITAN museum and afterwards
made a triumphal tour through the
country. What Biondi and a great
many other artists would like to know
is, whether the prudish directors were
prompted by hypercritical or by hypo-
critical reasons, when they rejected the
group, which was geratly admired by
thousands who visited the Buffalo ex-
position.
The trouble between the employers
and the employees in the allied build
ing trades still continues, but there is
good reason to believe that a settle
ment is not far off. The unions have
been losing considerable ground dur
ing the last week or two and many
of the unions have already withdrawn
their allegiance to the alliance and
have returned to work. If the en-
ployers are victorious it will mean a
severe defeat of the union cause and a
general recognition of the open shop
principle.
Children and dogs are tabooed in
nearly all the better class apartment
houses in New York and in many cases
the tenants practically forfeit tneir
lease if they allow themselves the pri-
Vilege of an increase of family with
out the consent of the landlord. Many
couples with children find it almost
impossible to secure apartments in
any part of the town. Under such
conditions the action of William c.
Smith, who has nearly finished six
story fiat building on Anthony avenue,
deserves unstinted praise and admira
ton. He is very anxious to get fami

ground with swings and sand piles in
the yard and an enormous play room
on the top floor, where the children of
his tenants can play i'll cold or rainy

tiful voice, and has just returned from
New York, where she has been study
ing under the best vocal teachers all
winter. That she is a past mistress of
the piano, everyone in Laurens knows,
but h has never sung here, and the
fact that she is down on the program
for several songs will lend to it an adj

THE DEMAND FOR SURRENDER.
Russian General Said to Have Heard
Conditions With Anger.

A cable dispatch from Tokyo, August lo,
saws: Major Yamoka, representing the
Japanese forces besieging Port Arthur, met
the Russian chief of the garrison staff
about GOO wards north of Shoshi Ying at
1890 am. August 16, under a flag of truce
and delivered to him the emperors offer 10
remove non combatants to&a place OF
safety The tender included women ana
children under sixteen years of age, priests,
diplomats and officers of neutral powers.
The conditions of the answer required
that on August II, at 10 o'clock, the non
combatants should advance under flag
of truce. At 2 o'clock August II a de-
tachment of Japanese infantry would ac-
cept their delivery at the conference point
and convey them to Dalny, together with
a limited amount of baggage, the examina-
ton of which to be optional. Nom
combatants were forbidden to bring books,
writings, documents and articles relating
to the war. The Russians were required to
answer either yes or no and they were not
allowed to alter the japanese conditions.
The Emperor of Germany has cabled
request that the japanese direct Com
mander Hopman and Lieut.. Gilgenheim,
the German attaches at Port Arthur, to
withdraw in accordance with the japanese
offer. Field Marshal Yamagata advised
the commander of the besieging force. and
the Emperor of Germany's order was de-
livered to the Russian chief of staff at a
conference held yesterday.
cable dispatch from ChefOo, August 1S
says: On the night of the 18th the battle
lulled somewhat, when the Japanese sent
the terms of surrender to Lieutenant Cen
eral Stoessel. The terms provided that the
garrison should march out with the honors
of war and join General kuropatkin; that
all civilians be brought to a place desig-
mated by the japanese admiral; that the
Russian warShips in the harbOr, numbering
seven, namely, the battle ships RetviZan.
Sevastopol, Pobieda, Peresviet, Poltava, the
armored cruiser Bayan and the protected
cruiser Pallada, and twelve or more torpedo
boat destroyers and four gunboats be sur
rendered to the Japanese.
Lieutenant General Stoesse is alleged to
have received the terms with burst OF
wonderful profanity, his habitual taciturn-
ity deserving him. He strobe the floor I'M
til he became calmer, and then remarked
that If the japanese proposition was Joke
it was in bad taste.
General StoessePS treatment of the Japa-
nese major was courteous, but his reply
was prompt and characteristic. The Japa-
nese major then asked for a three days
truce in which to bury the dead. This was
refused.
St. Petersburg dispatch says: The gen
eral staff attributes the refusal or the OF
fer made by the japanese that non-com-
batants might leave Port Arthur to the
simple fact that none remain except snip
Wrights and other government employees,
whose services are Indispensable, all other
male civilians having been long ago en-
rolled in the army and the women ana
children having already left
