Ml JAVA I IK KH, Juno 1H. A dispatch received here at 2 o'clock this morning from .Jewett Mills announces the ar rival there of the Wisconsin Central train. A Mr. Cutter, in the employ of the Central, sent a dispatch to the local olllcers of the road, saying that the town of New Richmond was gone Kouth of the Highway bridge and that the estimated number of killed will reach lT.O. Many of the houses, Mr. Cutter stales, were consumed by fire after the. cyclone. Many people wen- killed, ho says, while attending the circus, which was showing there. MINNKAl'OUS. June 1 ?.. A special to the Tribune from Stillwater, Minn., says: This was a terrible night for New Richmond, the village being almost wiped out of existence by one of the most severe cyclones that ever visited that locality. It carried ruin and death In its path and nt this hour it is im possible to give even a partial list of those who are seriously injured. It is thought many are dead. The news of the disaster was brought here by J. A. Carroll, a traveling man from Portage, Wis., who was stopping at the Nicollet house in New Richmond. He saw the funnel-shaped cloud as it came up the principal street and took refuge in the basement In the hotel, which was completely wrecked, to gether with many principal business houses. In the terrible rain which followed Mr. Carroll and his comrades succeeded in recovering the proprie tor, Charles McKennon. wife and one child from the debris, and they also removed the laundry girl, who was probably fatally injured. They also removed two men named Barrett and Newall, who were severely injured. Mr. Carroll drove to Stillwater by team for relief and the train, with 'Joctors, will leave here at 12:1 a. m. Mr. Carroll further says that fire followed the cyclone and that what was left is being consumed by fire. Many people are doubtless killed and the damage will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. A special to the Tribune from Burk hardt. Wis., says: A messenger has reached here from New Richmond and has telegraphed from here for doctors and help, saying that the storm struck that town a-nd that a lare number were killed and wounded. The railroad officials have ?ndeavored to get out a special train, but on account of the several wash Duts are unable to do so and the doe tors and many others are now driving across the country as fast as horses ran safely carry them. These travel ing men, who drove from River Falls to Hudson, 'were struck by the storm and the rig was torn to pieces, the :me named Vollman having one of his legs broken. MIIAVAI'KEH. June 13. A message was received at the Wisconsin Central affiees here late last night from Stevens Point from A. It. Hornaday, division superinterdent of the Wisconsin Cen tral at that point, as follows: "It ;ommenced to rain on the St. Paul di vision nt about 7 p. m., and the wires went down west of Jewett Mills at 7:30. At S:4f we got a message from Rober son of the Omaha via Marshall that a pyclone struck New Richmond about 7:30, killing and wounding from 250 to 500 people. We have started a special out from Irvine, leaving at 10 o'clock, with surgeons and to pick up what sther surgeons thev can between there and New Richmond. MINNEAPOLIS. June 13. A special to the Times from North Wisconsin Junction, Wis., says: A cyclone and rloudlmrst struck just east of Hudson 'ast night, doing considerable damage to property. The cyclone was first observed at Hudson coming up Lake St. Croix. It passed first to the east of the town and maintained a north easterly direction across the tracks of the Omaha road a mile northeast of North Wisconsin Junction, destroying the wires, unroofing houses, barns, outbuildings, haystacks, etc., all along ,ts path. It Is rumored that Mrs. Dave Hefferon, living north of Burkhardt. was killed. The rain and wind were very severe. The full extent of the Samage cannot be known before day Mght. ICrlncini; Home Daly's Rrmnins. SOUTHAMPTON, June 12. The re mains of Augustin Daly, who died in Paris on Wednesday, arrived here from Havre. The casket was enclosed In a case marked "A. D., New York." It was nr.ietly removed from the steamer and placed in a railroad vehicle, which transferred it to the Empress dock for shipment to the United States by the steamer New York, which sails today. Mrs. Daly will be a passenger on the same steamer. Only the honorable Mrs. Eric Farrington. a friend of the family, accompanied the remains from Paris. Itlxiiil Slay KecoviT. LEBANON, Mo., June 13. Dr. Jas. McConib, the senior of Mr. Bland's physicians, left his bedside at 10:30 a. m. and reports the symptoms hith erto maiking his condition alternate or "bad days," absent this morning. He takes nourishment at regular inter vals. If he should wholly escape his 6inking spell today, the doctor thinks there is a chance for his recovery.

PARIS, June 13. (New York World Cablegram.) The Dupuy ministry fell as Hiiddenly as if It had slopped on an orange peel. There was no more r iicnn for its overthrow today than Iheie was a week ago. The complaint in the Chamber of I'cptitien f, polic,. brutality in HUp pn ssiiig disorder Sunday when Presi dent l,ouhct went tit the Longchamps rnces was a mere pretext. Dissatis f.ictlon with Premier Diipuy's course in I he Dreyfus case; was the real in spiring motive of the adverse vote against him in the Chamber of Depu ties. He was suspected of shielding certain high personages who are deemed equally responsible with Es ter hazy and Du Paty de Clam, among them Generals de Mercier and Boys deffro. Mercier, who was Dupuy 's minister of war when Dreyfus was condemned, had defied Dupuy to arrest him on a charge of secretly conveying to the court-martial evidence upon which conviction was based. lie said: "If I am arrested let them arrest Dupuy, too. He approved whatever I did." Deputies who do n l. sympathize wilh Dreyfus joined with those who do in rebuking what was dceniea'Vit her hypocrisy or incompetency. I have it from one of the fallen ministers, whose name is withheld, I hat the cab inet knew this morning that it would be strangled this afterm-on. Presi dent Lou hot and his advisers decided that Dupuy was not the man to settle the muddle and word was passed to all the republican leaders to get rid of Dupuy, no matter how. So when the premier opposed the order of the day they stnbply voted it. The prospects that M. Waldeck-' Rousseau will organize i ministry are hailed with delight in the clubs, on the boulevards and among the masses. He is a sterling character, respected by all parties and It is unanimously con ceded that he is the best man for the present crisis. He is a great personal friend of the president. NOgEXCUSE for lynching. Attorney (iciiernl Morris I n vri; I t the 1 1 (I m ! ri-x Kpisoilc. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 13. A special to the Republic from Austin, Tex., says: Governor Sayers today made public the report of Assistant Attorney General Morris, who went to Athens. Henderson county, Tex., recently at the governor's instance to investigate the lynching of the Humphries broth ers at that place. The report reviews the entire situation attendant upon the lynching, and reports that the united efforts of the state and county officials have resulted in the apprehension of twelve persons charged with being in the mob, and that tho apprehension of all those believed to be guilty will fol low. In his report Attorney General Mor ris said: "Sonif of the people who are arrested for this en me are in splendid financial circumstances, and I am informed that some wealthy peo ple near by are offering all the assist ance that they need. Of course, there can be no excuse for mob violence, and there was none in this case. There was not even a reasonable excuse. The two Humphries boys had been charged with stealing hogs from Joe Wilkin son, one of the men now in jail, but the county attorney, the sheriff, as well as the members of the grand jury, who found the bill, stated to me that the Humphries could not have been convicted." BAKERS GRY TOR VENGEANCE. Many Aflvo;tte Turning: tlie l-'uctiona Loose to FiKht It Out. CINCINNATI, June 13. A London, Ky., dispatch to the Times-Star says: The Bakers cried all night. Their moaning was something most touch ing. Jim, the son of Tom Baker, de clared the militia stripped his father of his weapons that he might be shot down by the Howards without a chance for his life. "Father begged you not to put him so close to White's home," he said to a soldier who attempted to console him. The brothers of Tom Baker wore a troubled look this morning. They re alize they must now clear themselves of the charges against them. Many persons advocate withdrawing the troops and allowing the men to fig-, it out. saying that this action on the part of Governor Knott stopped tho Rowan county feud and the Pulaski county feud. The killing of Tom Bak er will doubtless increase the Clay county feud. Notwithstanding the captivity of his three brothers and son there are numerous friends of the dead leader left and scores of other people who have heretofore not expressed themselves and they now declare the killing of Tom Baker an outrage and say the Bakers should shoulder their rifles and never surrender alive. Nurse Citrl Will Confoss. NEW YORK. June 13. Belle Ander son today turned state's evidence and on the stand will tell about the kid naping and become a state's witness. The district attorney sent for the girl and in the presence of her lawyer, a deputy sheriff and Assistant District Attorney Le Barbier 6he made a full confession. It is said to have been practically the same as that made by her when she was arrested in New Jer sey. Through this confession the law yer hopes to obtain clemency for the wrman. He says she is a weak-minded and easily influenced girl, and is dylns from consumption. The En:;lUii for C'.inalllP. Dur'ng the TicMrrne trial, whe.

After a quiet Sunday, during which no attempt was made to run cars, the struggle between the Cleveland Electric Itail- way company (Big Consolidated) and iim .-.inning employes wits renewed in lively fashion today. The company started the first car for down town from the Lake view barns at S:30 o'clock, guarded by deputies and man ned by imparted ni-n. The crowds jeered and some missiles wore thrown. Th" next two cars dashed from tho barns across the railroad crossing without stopping. The city ordinance makes it compulsory for the conduc tor of the street car to leave the car and go to the railroad crossing and there signal the inotorniaii to proceed. Two of the strikers were delegated to secure warrants for the cr ws of these cars and later both of the new motor men were arrested. The first car to leave Lakeview ar rived at the .square at ft o' lock. A few bundled people were there waiting for it. The car was allowed to depart, however, without any demonstration beyond hoots and jeers. The report that a car had passed spread like wild fire, an' when the second car arrived at 9:20 it was stopped. Several thou sand people immediately packed round the car nrd a delegation of the strik ers induced the motorman to leave it. He was given an ovation. While ine strikers were talking with the motorman and conductor stones and vegetables were thrown. Several men who were in sympathy with the strik ers endeavored to drag the non-union men from the car. Police finally charg ed the crowd on Euclid acnue. The third car out of th- herns was attempting to make the return trip east on the avenue. Thousands of people and innumerable wagons block ed the thoroughfare and impeded the progress of the car. The trolley rope was cuit several times and every few moments some one would release the lever that controlled the fender and it would drop to the ground. The crowd would be beaten back for the time being, but before the car had proceeded fifteen feet its progress would be again impeded by the surg ing crowd. A number of rioters were arrested and many in the mob were clubbed by the police. At the Nickel Plate crossing several women hurled volleys of stones at the cars. At noon the cars were running at irregular intervals. The State Arbitration commissioners met at 11 o'clock rnd a committee from the strie-" was present and waited an hour in vain for the com pany's representatives to appear. The company has not announced that it will reject arbitration, but it is given out officially that it will not be repre sented before the commission. At 1 o'clock the most serious dis turbance of the day occurred. At the corner of Euclid avenue and Bond street three cars were held up and the trolley ropes were cut. Stones fell on the cars in a shower and the trainmen locked themselves in the cars, taking refuge under the seats. One non-union motorman decided to take his chances with the crowd and jumped into the mob. He was hustled, but not injured. A solid mass of people blocked the street for two blocks. Not a policeman was in sight when tho trouble began, but a strong force ar rived in a few minutes and the crowd gave way, but not before the cars had been derailed. The following resolution was adopt er! by the company's board of directors after a hot debate: Resolved, That the differences be tween the Cleveland Electric Raiiway company and its former employes have substantially narrowed down to the proposition upon which the company must stand, that it must hire and di.s cnarge men without dictation of any body. As already stated. It does not attempt, nor will it attempt to dic tate to its employes whether they shall belong to a union or not. It will not require them to join, nor will it discharge them for joining or refusing to join, at their pleasure. The com pany must reserve to itself the right to treat directly with its own men. to hire new ones as the needs of its ser vice require, and to discharge ineffi cient men without accounting to any one except its directors. Entertain ing these views it must respectfully decline to submit these questions to arbitration. Storer Arrives at -"Vlailriil. MADRID, June 13. Mr. Bellamy Storer, United States minister to Spain, Mr. Stanton Gates, secretary o the legation, and their servants, ar rived here at 1140 p. m., yesterday. Mr. Storer was received at the rail way station by Col. Morer, a chief of police of Madrid, who saluted the min ister by touching his hand. The party drove to the Aiotel De Rome, where Mr. and Mrs. Storer will remain until their new quarters are ready for oc cupation. Mr. Storer will present his creden tial tomorrow when a day and hour will be fixed for an audience with the queen regent. Not Worth It.

The funeral of Captain Henry Nichols, the command er of the United States double-turret-ed monitor Monadnock, who died from sunstroke on Saturday, took place at Cavite yesterday with appropriate cer emonies. The oAlcers of the licet were present and th flags on all the vessels were half-masted. The sudden death of Captain Nich ols was particular! j' sad because it occurred Just at the moment when the result for which he had hoped and worked for for months was about to be realized, nan ely, the capture of Paranaque and its occupation by the American forcer.. The Monadnock has been lying of Paranaque for two months past, under fire from the rebels almost daily. The heat here has been intense and the ofiicers and men of the Monadnock suffered greatly. The com mander in chief offered to retire tlie Monadnock from the trying duty and replace it by another ship, but Captain Nichols preferred to remain, declar ing that he did not want to leave his post until Paranaque fell and the coast from there to Cavite was cleared of rebels. The heat on Saturday was most severe and the monitor was en gaged nil day In shelling the trench es at Paranaque and the rebels fleeing south through Las Pinas, and also in watching the American troops rins ing in upon the towns. Captain Nit-hols was overcome by the beat at noon and retired to his cabin, where he re ceived frequent reports of the opora- , tion and gave directions for several hours. He became much worse at 3 o'clock, lost consciousness and expired at ." in the afternoon. Several hours before his death he expressed gratifi cation at the way events were pro ! gressing, remarking to an officer: "We . have got the rebels there at last." l'V of Niiviil Officers.

NEW YORK, June 13 The argu ments on the writs of prohibition, habeas corpus and certiorari in the Molineux case were postponed today until Wednesday.

THE 1 1 AGUE, June 13. (New York Word Cablegram). I have obtained fqr publication in America the fol lowing manifesto issued by the Amer ican delegates to the International Peace convention: "This commission is informed that misleading reports have been cabled to America regarding the work of the drafting committee on arbitra tion and the exact position of the American proposals. "The American plan for a perma nent tribunal, which already has been ( oi rectly set forth in the American press, has been referred, with other similar propositions, to a drafting committee. This committee will re port to the full commission on arbi tiation the exact text of the American proposals as submitted and al?o the exact text of all other proposals sub mitted together with a draft of the proposed plan, embodying such fea tures of all the plans submitted as the drafting committee shall provisionally recommend to the corr.niittee on arbi tration. "Afterward the conference itself will finally pass judgment upon the various projects submitted. The fact that in the drafting committee the English proposals are used as a basis of discussion does not indicate in the least the abandonment of any of the other plans. "It is not expected that the draft ing committee will be ready to report to the commission on arbitration for a week or ten days. All statements regarding the work meanwhile must be accepted as mere surmises." At an adjourned meeting of the del egates of the ponce conference under the pr?sidency of M. De Staal, this morning, it was resolved to furnish the newspapers with statements of the proceedings of the committees as well as of the plenary sittings. The drafting committee of the arbi tration committee cf the. peace con ference met yesterday and continued the discussion of the arbitration scheme. The delegates not having received additional instructions from their respective governments, the com mittee adjourned until Friday with out further progress. This evening the delegates attended a water fete given in their honor by the Bathing societies at Schveningen, about two piiies northwest of The Haeue. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ol the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con5tinitional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of tlie Eustachian Tube. When this tube ts inrianied you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inH.uiiaiion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused bv catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
