of the Cumberland Telephone Company at
Meridian Miss gives complete details of tor
nado which struck Meridian this evening in
which several persons were killed.
During q heavy rainstorm at Gao o'clock a
storm cloud developed in the south and moved
quickly over the city, striking Front street the
business centre, with sull force. The wind was
probably blowing seventy seven miles an hour.
The tornado passed over in about two minutes,
and during that period three or four whole
squares We're devastated. a conservative esti-
mate places the number of buildings blown
down at between thirty and forty.
Among the heaviest losers are the Meyer &
Neville Hardware Company; Tom Lyle & Co,
wholesale drygoods and grocers; Joseph H.
Moore. wholesale drygOods and groceries; the
New-Orleans & Northeastern Railroad freight
depot and other buildings, the names of which
are not ohtainable at this hour. The Mobile &

sderahly damaged. The guests in the latter
building escaped. however. and no one was in

Mar 25.-After be- ing in peril from fire at sea and man aging by desperate efforts to reach this port in the midst of a gale and hlinding snOwstorm, the British freight steamer Titan struck a sub merged rock in entering the narbor late last night, had a hole torn in her hull and today lies fast on the beach, where she was put to prevent sinking. The fire in the midship hold is still burning fiercely. The Titan is in no serious danger on the beach. but it fs probable that berore the fire can be eXtinguished the hold will have to be flooded.

Washington, March 25.-The railroad rate bill will continue this week to absorb the attention of the United States senate. There are several sen ators who still expect to deliver pre- pared speeches on the bill, but none of them has indicated his readiness to proceed on Monday, so that it is inn possible to give the names of the pros pective orators. Senator Tillman says however, that he has no doubt that some one will be prepared to proceed when the bill is taken up. He admits that there is a tendency in the debate to lag, but he attributes it to the nec- essity for much preparation in dls- cussing the question. He still insists that as soon as 1t becomes evident that the debate is exhausted, he will pres; the bill to vote.
 Should there be an agreement on tho consular reorganization bill Senator Lodge will probably call up the con- ference report during the week and some debate on it is probable.

The Only Result Russian Revolution Gould
 Now Produce
The Reactionary Elements, Though Weak Scattered Would Be Brought Together by Radical Assault Upon the Government.

St. Petersburg, March 25.-The As sociated Press is able to give the re- suits of an important conversation with a high parsonage regarding the situa- ton in Russia. Neither the name nor the position of this person can be in dicated but his competency to speak upon the situation can be vouched for. The conversation which covered a wide range left a distinct impression that the assembling of the national parliament would bring a crisis but not the one anticipated abroad. The government evidently is absolutely convinced that an armed revolution or general upris- ing which would menace it's life is no longer possible and that the danger is not that the government would be oVerthrOwn, but that it would be driv- en to abandon its path of reform.
 'The guerilla warfare which the re- Voluuonists at present are conducting" said the parsonage referred to, can not succeed. Acts of terrorism doubt less will continue-vengeance may be wrecked upon governors general and police masters; Count Witte the pre- mier and Minister Of Interior Durnovo may be assassinated: banks and build ings may be blown up and there may even De IIOlS DGIe ana lHeTe-DuL at tempts to produce widespread risings in cities or reDetitiOns of the railroad strike are doomed to failure.
