Parliament Fortunately Were
Not Present.

St. Petersburg. March 15.-The cell
ing of the hall in the Tauride palace.
where the lower house of parliament
meets, collapsed at O'Clock this morn
ing and caused widespread wreckage
among the seats below.
Though many rUmOrs were circulated
to the effect that the falling of the CELL
ing was the result of plot TO interfere
with the meeting of parliament, its
purely accidental character was clear
ly established.
An examination showed that the
nails and other fastenings binding the
ceiling to the rafCers had not been re-
placed since the time of Catherine ii.
and broke under the extra weight of
the new decorations.
The aggregate weight of the ceiling
material was so great that in its fail
it twisted the massive bronze electro
liers in such way as to indicate that
j terrible catastrophe would have re-
suited had the fail occurred a few
hours later, during the session of the
house. The palaces occupied by the

WORSHIpPERS IN A PANIC

La Crosse, wis, Aug. IS. - The
worst tornado exer experienced with
in the city of La Crosse swept through
the city at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and in fifteen minutes had effect
ed an enormous amount of damage,
so great indeed and widespread that
no accurate estimate Of it's extent can
be made, but it reached into the thou
sands of dollars at least in the city Of
La Crosse alone. The storm wrought
havoc to factories, churches, houses
and to thousands of beautiful shade
trees, making walks in places impas-
sable.
Furious Rain.
The tornado was accompanied by a
furious rain. The storm came out of
a clear sky. The morning was fair
and warm, with no prospect of wealth
er disturbances, and hundreds of peo-
pie were already upon the river for
the day or had gone into the country
on picnic parties. The greatest alarm
was caused when the savage eastern
wind struck the water and the frail
craft upon it suffered. Most of the
boats were swamped, the inmates be-
ing thrown into the water and obliged
to swim to shore.
Throw Themselves Into Water.
In other cases, the occupants of the
boats, unable to handle them in the
wind, abandoned them, threw them
selves into the water, at the risk of
drowning, and one witness claimed to
have seen one boat containing two
persons turn and go down with it's
passengers. There has been as yet
no confirmation of these reports. The
storm did great damage in the factory
district. Three churches suffered Sc
verely. The storm swept down on st.
Joseph's cathedral, the largest church
building in the district, which was at
the time full of people attending the
early morning mass.
Panic in Cathedral.
The storm shook the structure and
terrified the people inside People
rushed for shelter from the wind and
rain. 1t was almost miraculous that
none were killed at this point. The
German Lutheran church suffered
damage which would have caused
many deaths had the storm been three
hours later. The big chimneys crush
ed through the roof carrying many
tons of steel and brick down into the
auditorium where the worshipers
would have assembled a few hours
later. Every residence was more or
less damaged by chimneys being
blown down. The streets were made
imnassable BY the falling trees.
