st. Petersburg, Aug. 21.-The Novoe
Vremya and the Russky SlOyo unre-
servedly praise the douma project
The other st. Petersburg newspapers,
however, fail to show much enthusi-
asm. While half-heartedly admitting
that the project makes for improve
ment, these latter papers criticise the
limitation powers Of the douma and
ask for an extension of the freedom of
the press. freedom Of meeting and po-
litical amnesty
The Novoe Vremya declares the wall
which that for centuries separated the
nation from the sovereign has fallen
and that the new reform opens the
way for the development of national
individuality and genius which is nee
essary for the evolution of a great
people.
The Russky Slovo says that the new
douma will bring Russia into line with
the western nations.

AWAY-PART OF COUNCIL
BLUFFS FLOODED.

Omaha, Sept. II. - Western Iowa
and Eastern Nebraska were visited
last night by the worst wind and rain
storm of the year. In Omaha and
Council Bluffs great damage was done,
and the loss by wind and flooded
easements will be extensive, reaching
many thousands of dollars. The
storm reached the proportion of a
tornado at Burwell, Neb.. where one
person was killed, six injured and
$4,000 damage done to property.
In Omaha no less than dozen large
stores had plate glass windows blown
in and stocks considerably damaged.
The basement of the Daily News Office
was flooded and it's entire stock of
paper damaged. The roof Of the Dodd
hotel was torn away and the oecu-
pants of the building
Rushed Panic-Stricken
into the street. A negro porter was
slightly injured. A fire which started
was quickly extinguished. All the
lower part of Council Bluffs is under
water. The torrents of rain could
not be carried away by the sewers,
and Broadway, the principal street OF
the city, was covered for several hours
by two feet of water. The lower part
of the city in the vicinity of the rail-
way yards is under from two to five
feet of water. The, Northwestern
and Illinois Central passenger stations
are in the flooded district.
p The damage to small buildings,
trees and bill boards in both cities is
very great. :,
Woman Is Killed.

demolished five residences and six

Mrs. M. B. McKinnon, aged sixey, was
killed. Frank Heinrich, Mrs. Leeper
and Mrs. McDinnell are badly injured
and several others are hurt. The
path of the storm was not very wide
and extended but short distance. 1t
is probably the worst storm that ever
visited this section and the town is
badly torn up.

FOUR BUILDINGS BURNED OWING
TO LACK OF FlRE.FlGHTlNG
FACILITIES.
SEE BODIES ROASTING IN FIRE
GREAT CROWD LOOKS ON POW
ERLEss TO CHECK FLAMES
OR RENDER HELP.

Avon, Conn.,, Sept. 1.-THE explo'
sion of fuse followed by a fire in a
building of the Climax Fuse company
here yesterday afternoon caused a
panic among twenty employees in the
building and resulted in the death of
seven and injury that doubtless will
prove fatal to several others. There
was no way of coping with the flames,
which soon spread rapidly, and in less
than an hour after the explosion oc-
Cured those who were unable to es-
cape were in the clutches of a fire
that eventually burned their bodies to
ashes. AS the day wore on the great
crowd that collected in the hamlet
saw the bodies of men and women
roasting in the fire and were power
less to check the flames. The exact
cause of the accident
May Never Be Known,
but it is the accepted theory that, in
an effort to burn out stoppage in
one of the machines, workman
caused an explosion of fuse with the
hot iron he held in his hand. Those
who were in the room where the ex-
plosion occurred say that the explo-
sion was not severe, and ordinarily
would not have caused a panic. In
f1ammable material, however, was set
on fire, and in few moments the
room was in mass of flames. In an
instant there was mad rush for the
doors and windows. and during the
scramble. many were pushed :. back
into the building while Others were
severely burned. There were. only
sixty hands at work in the entire
plant 1t was stated last night that
some of the dead may have been
overcome by smoke before they had
a chance to fee. and that it is i'm
probable that any of the seven vic
Tins lost his life by the force Of the
explosion.
Heartrending Scenes.
The scene at the fire was heartrend-
ing. Friends and relatives of the miss
ing were almost frantic with grief
when it became known that bodies of
those close to them were being burned
to crisp in the ruins of the factory.
AS there Is no fire department in the
town it was utterly useless to cope
with the flames with buckets. AS one
Of the walls of the second largest
building fell several bodies could be
seen entangled in the mass of mason
ry in the basement and in a short time
they, too, were reduced to ashes.
Early in the evening the body of a
woman was seen near the edge Of the
fire and An effort was made to pull it
away from the flames, but on account
of the great heat this was impossible.
The loss on the four buildings de-
stroyed is estimated at 100000.
