Chicago, May 2a After a two
hours' discussion last night, the special
committee on State organization of
the sound money Democrats reported
in favor of organizing a committee of
two members from each congressional
district and four from the State at
large to have charge of the campaign
atrainst the Dresent State central com
mittee. Governor Alteeld and free
silver.
The conference was for the purpose
of taking into consideration what
should be done in view of the alleged
fact that the silver wing of the
Democracy of the State was resorting
to unfair methods in the primary elec
tions to carrv the State convention
for free coinage. Resolutions were
adopted protesting against the meth
ods of the silver men, and declaring
for State and national contests if
necessary.
DEMOCRATS WAKING UP.

St. Louis, Ma, May SO. At the
meeting of the State committee at
Excelsior Springs last Febuary, S. B.
Cook, as chairman of a subcommit

plan for the thorough reorganization
of the party by school districts. The
report was adopted without amend

has been done to put its provisions
into practical operation until to-day,
when Cook, Auditor beibertand Secre-

month steps will be taken to give the
plan a thorough test. The initiative
will be the calling of a joint meeting
here or at Jefferson City or Kansas
City of the State central committee
and the chairmen of the 114 county
committees. It is thought that the
joint conference will be in session two
days and that when? its members re
turn to their homes they will be thor
oughly prepared for the work of or
ganization by school districts. The
joint conference will also probably
provide all the money necessary for
prosecuting the work in a systematic
and vigorous manner and for the
maintenance of general headquarters
in this city with Chairman Cook in
charge. i

preamble and resolutions adopted
follow:
Whereas, The Supreme Council of
the A. P. A. of the United States, at
its session Saturday evening, by an
unanimous vote adopted the report of
the National advisory board, whicn
reoort indorsed the action of the exe
cutive committee of said board and in
olain lancuaee said that the execu
tive committee was justified in pub
lishing the political affiliation of Mc
Kinley with the Roman political
hierarchy, which affiliation is proven
bv the affidavits of reputable mem
bers of the order, and which affidavits
have never been controverted excent
by the unsworn statement of Major
McKinley himself, and.
Whereas, Major McKinley did on
May li, 1396, to a committee of the
national advisory board in the city of
Canton, Ohio, state he heartily ap
proved the principles of the A. F. A.,
and on the following day rave an in
terview to the Dress denvinir that he
had met such a committee, thus giving
the He to the report of the committee,
which was composed of honorable and
truthful irentlemen: and.
Whereas. The members of the 8u-
oreme council have, during its session,
been hounded and badgered by a large
McKinlev lobbv. composed of mem
bers and non-members of the order,
that has used the most disreputable
blackmailing methods to discredit the
advisory board and turn the Supreme
council into a McKinley ratification
meeting, and having signally failed to
clear McKinley of the consequences of
his propapal political record, to-day,
after two-thirds of the delegates had
started for home, attempted to take
revenue bv abolishing the national
advisory board, and accomplished the
same by a vote of 30 to 29.
Resolved, That the delegates in con
demnation meetinsr assembled, de
nounce the unwarranted interference
of the paid McKinley lobby with the
affairs of the order, and denounce the
cowardly denial by McKinley of the
indorsement of the principles of the
order, o-iven to our committee, and
Resolved, That because of his record
as reported by the national advisory
board, we herewith pledge ourselves,
bv our influence and efforts, to ac
complish his defeat.
CHURCH AND POLITICS
Cardinal Gibbons Gives His Views, With
a Rebuke for the A. P. A.
Washington, May 20. In reply to
some questions addressed through
Rev. Dr. Stafford of Washington, D,
C to Cardinal Gibbons, the Cardinal
sent the following letter:
It is the duty of the leaders of polit

ciples of reheious freedom which un

devoted to both the great political

church has never used or perverted
its acknowledged power by seeking to
make politics subserve us own an
vancement.
Moreover, it is our proud boast that
we have never interfered with the
civil and political rights of any who
differ from us in religion. We demand
the same rights ourselves and nothing
more, and will be content with noth
ing less. Not only is it the duty of
all parties distinctly to set their faces
asrainst the false and un-American
principles thrust forward of late, but
much as I would regret the entire
identification of any religious body as
such with any political party, I am
convinced that the members of a re
ligious body whose rights, civil or
relifrious. are attacked will naturally
and unanimously espouse the cause of
the party which has the courage
openly to avow the principles of civil

One Million Dollars Tha
Nebraska Victims
Churches Wrecked,
Seneca, Kan., May 20. Fifteen per
sons were killed and fully nity in
jured in this (Nemaha) county by the
tornado of Sunday night, while six
perished in and about Reserve, in
Brown county, and four met death
across the State line in Nebraska.
This is the death list so far as known
definitely at present Some portions
of the route of the tornado have not
been thoroughly gone over as yet and
the total number of the dead may be
increased. Of the dead in this county
five are here, six at Oneida and four
at or near Sabetha.
The losses from the tornado along
its deadly path are placed now at
fully 81,000,000 and this may be in
creased. In this county conservative
estimates put the total loss at 3)700,
000, while at Frankfort it is 8100,000
more and at Reserve 8150,000. At
other points a low estimate makes the
losses over 850,000.
The injured are doing well as a rule
at all points, but it is almost beyond
question that several of them will suc
cumb in a few days.
The tornado struck the fair grounds
here first and demolished every build
ing. Then it swept through the best
part of the town, wrecking tne hand
some court house and either destroy
ing or damaging greatly over 200
buildings, many of them the best in
this place. The citizens have organ
ized and are doing all possible for the
homeless, whose losses are placed at
8100,000, while those who are aiding
them have themselves lost 8300,000
more.
At Sabetha, Ellen Carey, the child
injured by the storm, died yesterday.
About forty families are homeless and
destitute and about there twenty
more families in want The mayor of
that place has issued an appeal for
aid.
In all of the country clear across
the county the tornado left a well
defined path of ruin, but fortunately
in nearly every instance so far as is
now known the occupants of farm
houses saw the approach of the storm
in time to get into places of safety.
Chnrch People Badly injured.
Barnes, Kan., May 20. A tornado
formed near Palmer Sunday afternoon
and blew down the Methodist Episco

three miles southeast of there. Next
it struck Bodavitle in the edge of Riley
county and partially tore down a store
and some other buildings. It then
crossed back into Washington county
and demolished about five houses and
laid waste many farms. Then cross
ing into Marshall county it went
within two miles of Waterville and on
to the south of that place.
In Eastern Washington and West
ern Marshall counties, from six to ten
miles away, a second tornado was
seen soon after the first bad passed.
This destroyed the Spring Valley
Methodist Episcopal church in the
country eight miles south and one
mile east of here. The Rev. J. M.
