Southern hotel when the death dealing
wind struck the city Late in the after
noon noticed that dark clouds lowered
around the city and the humidity was
very trying.
Shortly after 6:15 p. m. an ugly look
ing cloud could be observed bounding
toward the city. This was followed
by a downpour of rain and then with
a rush and noise that struck terror
to the stoutest heart, the cyclone de-
scended upon that portion of the city
near the depot.

southwest, following the railroads
which pass through Meridian along
Front street. The result was terrible.
Among the first buildings to go down
was the electric light plant and the
city was thrown into darkness. The
people were panic stricken and rushed
into the streets from every direction.
Miracle How Many Escaped
"That the death list is not larger is
simply marvellous, but it is accounted
for probably owing to the fact that
many employees of the wrecked houses,
depot offices and other places main
tanning large clerical forces had fin
ished their days work and gone to
their homes in other parts of the city.
Front street presents a devastated
appearance and few houses are left
standing. The storms path was about

ALGECIRAS. Spain, March 3.-The
conference on Moroccan reforms took
a most important step today by decid-

they would abide by the decision of the

over the policing of Morocco has been
forced to a decisive issue, in which
both sides will be compelled to show
their hands. Moreover, the vote gave
