munificence Of A. Hoick, councillor OF
justice, ii is proposed to establish dur
ing the ummer a permanent station

TARIFF BILL KILLED
SENATE COMMITTEES REFUSES TO
REPORT MEASURE AFFECT
ING PHILIPPINES.

Washington, March By a vote of
s to 5 the senate committee on Phil.
ippines defeated the Payne bill, which
had passed the house by a vote of 25S
to II. The action of the committee
had been foreshadowed for nearly a
week, although the exact vote had not
been known. The senators voting for
the bill we're: Lodge, Beveridge, Long,
Carmack and McCreary. The mega
tive votes were: Hale, Burrows, Dick,
Nixon, Brandegee, CClberson, Dubois
and Stone.
After this decisive action had been
taken Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported to the senate ad-
versely in order to give the senate a
chance to consider it. Mr.. Brandegee
moved to table the motion and this
was carried by a vote of Z to 6, Mr..
Nixon voting with the minority on this
proposition. This action effectually
disposes of the measure unless the
chairman of the committee should ap-
peal to the senate by resolution. This
course Is regarded as unlikely.

If life in the tornado which plowed a
pathway from the southern TO the
eastern suburbs of this city numbers
:wenty-six and forty-siX persons were
injured. The property damage is fully
b1,250,000.
The storm broke over the city at
i:27 p. m. and was of four minutes
duration. During this time a reign OF
error prevailed. The wind was fol-
Jwed by a rainfall lasting half an
iour, aiding in the suppression of the
nnumerabie fires that were springing
Up.
The storm came towards the city
rom the southwest, following the
'ailroad tracks, which pass through
Meridian along First street. One OF
he first buildings TO go down was the
electric lighting plant and the city
a thrown into darkness. Among
he other buildings destroyed are the
following: The Meridian cotton mill;

buildings were either demolished or
damaged.
That the death rate is not larger
han that given is marvellous, but can
De accounted for probably by the fact
hat many employees of the mercantile
houses, depot, Offices and other places
maintaining large clerical forces had
inished their days work and gone to
heir homes in other portions of the
