limb of a tree about a quarter .of a mile
away. lIe had ascended the tree to a
height of twenty feet and fastened the
rope around his neck and threw him-
self off. His neck was not broken and
death resulted strangulation. He
had lost two wives and four children
within the last two years ; and this it is
thought tended to self destruction.

ST. Louis , Mo. , June 1 . -The sItua-
tion in St. Louis as viewed from the
Republic's standpoint , is as follows :

000.It
It is believed that the deaths of the
injured and the future recovery of
bodies will . bringthe St. Louis death ;
list well U I ) to 200. : :
In I East St. Louis the city officials
declare 1 that they have hope that the
death roll on that side of the river
will not exceed l.'iO but the ruins upon
which the rescuers have not yet begun
work may swell the total far beyond
that figure.
The building contractors of that
city ' have been overwhelmed with orders
tiers : for rebuilding , and the work of
wiping out the havoc of the storm is
procl'ediugwith much energy.
The Commercial Exchange announced
nounced last night that the uuli-
torium to be used for the Republican
national convention has been repaired
and now shows not the slightest effect
of the storm.
Although thousands of men have
been I at work night and day clearing
away the wreckage in the path of the
tornado , they have scarcely made a
perceptible impression toward restoring
log the chaotic confusion to anything
like order. Passageways have been
made through some of the principal
thoroughfares , it is true , but for the
most part the streets are still choked .
with the battered remains of homes :
and factories hospitals and churches. I
The path of the storm is fully a
mile and a half wide. It starts away
out in the suburbs of the city , where
beautiful homes are located. Taking ; I
a zig-zag course , it extends down i
through t where the densely populated I
tenement houses are located , fully six !
miles , and crosses the river.
At the - extrcme limits of the city to
the west is quarter known as Tower
Grove ; park. It is populated by I peo-
ple of wealth and the houses are
palatial , with beautiful grounds , etc.
To the southeast of this is anothe- I
rc ion - of wealth. The storm moved i I j
its them both. ) ' - I {
way through Magnificent - 1
cent residences in both places were I I
wiped off the face of the earth in
some cases , while in others roofs were : ' i
carried away trees torn from their j I
roots and all the picturesque : beauty !
destroyed. j
The number of families left home I
less by the devastation along the path I
of the storm will reach up into the
I
thousands. In many instances these I
unfortunates . have lost all their :
worldly possessions. Many will for
days be. dependent on charity and fOI'1
more .fortunate neighbors for shelter. !
There is a probability that one man , I
whose horribly mangled bo.ly was ,
taken to the morgue was not killed I
by the storm. A gentlemanvho was I |
in the neighborhood of the Union j I
depot powerhouse just after the storm :
asserts that some of the crowd there I
assaulted a ghoul caught tnif ving and j 1
beat him to death. Ills story is that [
\\'hill'viewing the wreck he saw half ]
a dozen men jump on a i man who had i i \
been loafing about in the crowd j
Some : \ one hit the min : , with a club , I
felling : him to the ground. . Then the '
crowd jumped on the m in and kicked |
him until he was uncI1Ilociouollle : ; !
one cried "lynch the thief. " Then the I !
crowd picked up his limp form and j
carried it to Rus-eil avenue , where ,
they put it in a dirt wagon and carted
it off. i j
The BusinessIen's : \ league issued }
the following announcement last I
night : i
"Tlie league indorses the action of '
Mayor : : Walbridge ] in declining outside '
tid. It feels grateful for the many ! j
evidences of generosity in these help j '
offerings , but , having made careful | I
investigation of the storm stricken ! j
district which , though extensive . is !
almost entirely confined to the section ;
of the city outside of the prmc n.il : 1 j
business I area , it is its deliberate J I
judgment that the city will be amply ) I i
able to fully provide for all the needs I !
of the afflicted. . i
From far off London Sir Henry Irv
ing , Ola Ne'her.sole and \ Wilson Bar-
} 'I" ' t have cabled money , sympathy and
offe-s of benefit : perormances if
nCt del. Others are as mt ' nerous . and
ro doubt thousands of dollars could
be raised in a few days if it were I
necessarv. II I

Two companies of the Illinois state i

VIlle ! 111. , in all about 100 men , patrolled -
trolled the levee district of East St.
Louis all day. Dead lines were established -
tablished and no one was allowed to .
pass without a permit. I
Ihc effect of these stringent meas-
ures was soon seen in the greatly decreased -
creased number of people in the devastated -
vastated district. Over sixty suspects
have already been arrested and were
Ren tout of town or locked up. Sev-
eral pickpockets and confidence men
have also been arrested. In addition

of the city. The property loss is hard
to estimate , but 2,000,000 to $3,000,000
are conservative figures.
Late figures rather tend to reduce
the estimates of the number killed ,
*
and the probabilities are that it will
not run much over 150.
The feature of the storm -A as the
large number of horses killed. On all
sides could be seen the mangled bod-
ies of these animals. The police department -
partment was busy all day removing
the carcasses , and none too soon , for
the warm weather of the past two
days had already started decomposi-
tion.

The railroad yards are generally
being cleared of debris , rendering
moving of trains once more possible ,
but it will , be I weeks before anything
like order can be restored. At least
400 freight cars were overturned and
either wholly or partially demolished ,
and as many of these were loaded
with merchandise the work of clear
ing the tracks will necessarily be very
slow.

COIGRESS ' IS BEPHOVED
THE PRESIDENT ' VETOES THE HIT-
ERS t AND HARBORS BILL -
TOO MUCH PATERNALISM
The measure Held to Contain Many : l'ro
vision * ' Which Would Greatly Increase
I'resenc Burdens Deplores the
Tendency to Value the Gov
ernment for the favors
It Can Bestow.
WASHINGTON May : : 2r . - As has been
confidently expected the president
sent to the house today a vigorous
message vetoing the rivers and har-
bors appropriation bill. The full text
of the message : is as follows.
"There are 417 ; items of appropria
tion contained in this bill , and every
part of the country is represented in
the distribution of its favors. It
directly appropriates or provides for
the immediate expenditure of nearly
S14.000.00ti for river and harbor work.
This sum is in addition to appropria
tions contained in another bill for
similar purposes , amounting to little
more than $ JOOOOy < ( ) : , which has
already been I favorably considered at
the present session of Congress. The
result is that the contemplated -mine
diate expenditures for the object ;
mentioned amount to about $ i7OuO,0'JO. i
"A more startling feature of this
bill is its authorization of contract
for river and harbor work amounting
to more than 52,000OUU < Though the
payment of these contracts arc , in
most cases , so distributed that they
arc to be met by future appropriations -
tions , more than u,000,000 : : on their
account is included in the direct ap-
propriatioub : above mentioned.
.MANY MILLIONS LN'VOLVKD. :
"Of the remainder-nearly 5-0,000,000
will fall due durinir the fiscal year
ending June ISO : , li-'S ' , and amounts
somewhat less in the years immedi-
ately succeeding. A few contracts of
a like characterauthorixcd under pre
vious statutes , are still outstanding ! ,
and tc meet payments on these more
than 3i,0)0OOU ( ) must be appropriated
in the immediate future. If , there-
fore this bill becomes a law , the obli
gations which will be imposed on the
government , together with the appro- I
priations made for immediate expend i
iture on account of rivers and har-
bors , will amount to about $ : : : UOOO- ,
000.
000."Nor is this all. The bill directs
' ' ' and examinations
numerous surveys : ,
which contemplate new work and
further contracts , and which portend
largely increased expenditures and
obligations. There is no ground to
hope that in the face of persistent and
growing demands the aggregate cf
appropriations for the smaller schemes
not covered by contracts will be reduced -
duced or even remain stationary. For
the fiscal year ending .J June 'to : , 1S9S ! ,
such appropriations , together with
the installments on contracts which
will be due in that year. can hardly ]
be less than $ 0,000.000 : { , and it may
reasonably be apprehended that the
prevalent tendency towards increased
expenditures of this sort and the concealment -
cealment which postponed payments
afford for extravagance : will increase
the burdens charLeableto this t
in succeeding years.
THE I'ltK ; mK.Vr's DUTV.
"In view of the obligation imposed
upon me by the constitution it seems
to me quite clear that I only discharge -
charge a duty to our people when I
interpose my disapproval of the legis
lation proposed. 1 learn from official
sources that there are appropriations
contained in the bill to pay for work
which ' have
private parties actually
ag'I'eecl'ith the government to do in
consideration of their occupancy of
public property. : I am convinced that
the bill now under consideration will
open the way to insidious and increas
ing abuses , and is itself so extra vacant :
as to be especially unsuited to these
times of depressed business and result-
in . . . .
ing disappointment government
. . . . .
revenue.
"This consideration is emphasized
by the prospect ; that the public treas-
ury will be confronted with other appropriations -
propriations made at the present ses-
sion of Congress amounting to more
than $ 500.000.000. Individual econ-
omy and careful expenditures are
sterling yil'tuesvhich lead to thrift
and comfort. Economy and the ex
action of clear justification ; for the ap
propriation of public moneys by the
servants of the people are not only
virtues , but solemn obligations. !
"To the extent that the appropria
tions contained in this bill are insti
gated . . . . interests and
by private to
promote local or individual projects
their continuance cannot fail to stim
ulate an injurious paternalism and
encourage a sentiment among our
alJ'cad ' . . . . . ! that
people already too prevalent ,
their attachment to our government
may properly rest upon the hope and
expectation of direct , and personal
favors and that the extent to wnich
they are realized may furnish an estimate -
timate of the value of governmental
care. I believe no greater : danger
confronts . us : " as a nation than the unhappy -
happy decadence among our people of
genuine and trustworthy love ] and
affection ! for our government as the
embodiment of the highest and hest
aspirations : of humanity and not as
the giver of gifts and bee Hl"e its mis
sion is the enforcement of exact jus
tice and equality and not the allow
ance of unfair favoritism.
"I hope I may be permitted to suggest -
- time when the issue S of ' ; ; '
gest ata WHIMI sue gov
ernment bonds to maintain the credit
and financial : ! standing of the country
is of criticism : t lat the
a subject con-
tracts provided ior in this hill would
create obligations of the United States
amounting to $ . ; ; 2.000tmOn. < ! no less bind-
ing than its bon Is for that s-um.
