Bore Destruction to St.
 Paul and Minneapolis
FIVE AT LEAST ARE DEAD
Two Theaters Demolished and Great Bridge Across the Mississippi De- stroyed-Ths Outlying Districts Are Yet to Be Heard From.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 20.-Five re- ported to be dead, two score injured and a property loss estimated to reach two million dollars are the results of a fierce tornado that swept down on the city shortly after o'clock to- night. The Tivoli theater was demol- ished the Empire theater razed, the High bridge. an immense structure crossing the Mississippi at a height of 200 feet, was totally destroyed and 200 buildings are more or less damaged There is a report at F o'clock mid night that the House of the Good Shepherd, Catholic institution was wrecked and twenty-five injured there. All communications with out lying districts are cut off and it IS impossible to say whether or not the damage done there has been as great as was done in the city itself. The property damage at Minneapolis is said to have been nearly as great as in St. Paul.
 The storm was of short duration, lasting not more than fifteen minutes. The devastation it wrought was ter rife. The wind. according to the gov ernment weather observer, blew eighty miles an hour, coming from the south west. Buildings were unroofed and fronts blown in, cellars being flooded by rain, which came in great waves along with the wind.
 Electric wires were prostrated and many persons were injured by contact with electric light and trolley wires. An excursion steamer. towing q large barge on the river below St. Paul, IS reported to have been wrecked. Relief parties in steam launches have been dispatched to the rescue. It IS said that many lives were lost there.

Considerable over half the first class reserves of European Rus sia have now been called and practi- cally all the reserves of Siberia.

IF IT FALL.
1t Will be at Cost Unequalled in
 History.


 St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.-The foreign telegrams announcing that the final as sault upon Port Arthur was projecled for today has further stimulated in all circles an interest that has been un- Tagging for weeks past concerning the fate of the fortress. The authorities continue to aver that should the for tress be carried 1t will be at a cost un- equaled in the history Of sieGes.
 The determined nature of the Japa- nese- attacks upon what is considered m impregnable position .s without precedent in military annals. No Eu- ropean power ever ventured to show such disregard of the lives of its soldiers. True, the allies at Sebastopol lost 12. 900 men in the final assault, but the Japanese have made repeated at- tacks upon Port Arthur with equal losses. It is believed here that what ever the Japanese plans may be, IL will not be possible to carry them out in the face of General Kuropatkin's s strong position. unless the fall Of Port Arthur releases such n mass of rein forcements as to completely turn the numerical scale of troops in the north.
 The arrival of the cruiser Novik at Korsakovak. in the island of Sakha- lin. and of the cruiser Diana at Sal gon, French Indo-China, clears up the whereabouts of every vessel of the Port Arthur squadron. It Is a remark able fact that despite the numerical superiority of Vice Admiral Togo s fleet and the long duration of the bat tie off Port Arthur not a warship was sunk. The cruiser Rurik, the only ves- sel to go down. belonged to he Vladi- ivostok squadron.

 tor at Kansas City.

WhAlock and company, in which he acted as agent for persons who wanted to trade in speculative grain markets in response to circulars sent out by him.
 Papers in Tales office seized by Mar. shal Durham include a number of ac- counts and records that undoubtedly belonged to the Rialto Grain company of St. Louis. These records are in the form of cards, which indicate that tho average amount paid in by the would be spectators is not far from s1OO. The cards number 5000 and bear the names of persons in every part of the United States and Canada
 The warrant for Fales' arrest was sworn out by w. A. Piatt, a postofice | inspector from St. Louis, and Fales probably will be taken to that city after his preliminary hearing. The cards bear the names of a great
 many Canadians. while there are many persons in South Carolina, Georgia California, Massachusetts and other states. Several of the cards also show that the company had invested sums for persons in government de- partments at Washington.

WILL MAKE
A GRAND STATE
Twin Territories Are Almost
as POpulOus as Kansas.

J. NJ. Mcconnell, assistant terrific
rial secretary of Oklahoma, has pre-
pared figures which show that the ter
ritory's population is fully e50,OOO and
Is probably more than 100000. The
estimates are based upon the recent
election returns, as compared with
those OF 1900, and also upon the school
census as compared with the same
year.
In 1900 Oklahoma's vote was IS, 73l,
but according to the federal census
the vote cast was only so per cent AZ
the voting population. This year the
the total vote was 100, i45, and, asum-
ing that only 80 per cent OF the votes
went to the polls, the present voting
population Is little more than l3O,
600. Then, assuming that there are
i've persons Of all agea for each voter,
the universal rule, the total popula-
tion Of the territory Is 0s0,OOO.
The figures deducted from the school
population place IL even higher than
this According TO TO the report Of
1908 there were 10000 children Of
school age The figures OF the two
years preceding that show an annual
increase OF s per cent in the popula-
tion OF school children, also that there
are an average of about three and
one-half persons between the ages OF
and 2l years
Increasing l93,00O by per cent
places the present number Of children
eligible 70 the public schools az 202,-
900. The reports from the various
digt.icts, although they have not all
bAen audited, Indicate That the mum.
Der will be even IN excess Of this. The
product Of 202, 600 multiplied by 81 Is
100000, the estimated population Of
the territory from this basis.
Congressman McGure win main
tain that Oklahoma aud Indian Ter.
ritory contain a combined population
OF more than Il25000 but many be-
lieye he is too conservative In his es-
Inmates. Indian Territory claims
800, 900 Itself. This added 10 100000
would give the two territories a COM
bined population OF 100000, which
Is exceed by the state OF Kansas only
by small margin.
By any method Of deduction either
OF these territories has within itself a
greater population than Arizona and
New Mexico combined, and when they
are admitted as ore state that state
win he By Gar the wealtliiest and most
thickly populated state in the nations
history
On the other hand, II Arizona and
New Mexico are admitted as q single
state, that combined area will become
the largest state ever changed from a
territory toastate b. the United States
congress. And, with the exception Of
Texas, which was annexed, Arizona
viii be the largest state in the Union
IN fact, larger than am other two
states.
