granted and Mr.. Meyer persuaded the
emperor that the cessiOn of Saghalien
Island to Japan would not, conflict
with Russia's determination not to
WELD an inch of territory, as the is
land in the remote past had belonged
to Japan.
AS postmaster general, Mr.. Meyer
introduced more up-to-date business
methods in his department. He was
one of the earliest advocates of the
postal savings system.
The Navy department gave Mr..
Meyer wide field for the use of his
business instincts. He effected a re-
organization which did away with
much duplication of work and de-
voted considerable time to increasing
efficiency at the navy yards. In l9l
he visited Europe and inspected the
naval stations and shipbuilding plants
of several countries.

TORNADO HITS OHIO
Six or Seven Killed and Property Loss
Of More Than 81 900, 600 in PauIing
and Vanwot Counties.

Columbus, O., March 11.-While
reports continue coming in show that
Saturdays tornado wrought perhaps
more than a million dollars damage
in Pauling and Vanwot counties,
where it did it's greatest destruction,
it is believed today that the number
cf deaths will not exceed six or
seven. Five are known dead and
there are several injured, who may
Gle.
Apparently the storms first fury
was felt in the neighborhood of Con-
way, O., west of VanWot. Wreckage
shows it jumped Vanwot and then
swent down upon Middlepoint to the
east. 1t then veered north, striking
Miller City.
That greater loss of life and more
imposing loss of property was not left
in the wake of the wind. is due to
the fact that it did not hit any large
cities. Rural districts bore the brunt
Of the winds.

business and politics largely occupied
his life. In the Massachusetts house
of representatives he rose to the
spcakership, and in 1898 he became
member of the Republican National
Committee,
Mr.. MEYERS national prominence
began when, upon the recommends

as ambassador to Italy. While IN
that country he handled several dlth-

proved of value in the maturing OF

diplomatic suggestions for such an ar

foreign office, whereupon he resorted
