A hurricane of unusual severity oc- curred in Panama Sunday night , doing much damage to property. The elec- tric plant in Panama was put in dark- ness. At the time there was a great crowd at the national theater , at "which Maria Guerrero , the noted Spanish actress , was performing. The performance came to an end , but the audience remained comparatively qui I et. Telegraphic service has been in- terrupted and advices are meager as , to the damage done. It is feared interior and coast towns suffered seriously. The government dispatched two steamers to make an inspection of the case. I Or- Telephone communication from - tonvillt , Minn. , says that a tornado struck that town Sunday afternoon , coming directly across Big Stone lake from Big Stone City , S. D. , where it killed John D. Groff and destroyed two houses. At Ortonville it struck a train of six Chicago , Milwaukee and Sty . Paul freight cars , containing ) ; wenty- I one Italian laborers. Three of the men were killed outright and nineteen were injured. The roundhouse and coalsheds were demolished. The resi- dence of W. F. Chamberlain was. de- stroyed and his wife and a farm hand were injured. Most of the damage be- yond Ortonville is not yet known. The loss so far Is $50,000. > Special dispatches from Pana , III. , and Xenia all say that tornadoes struck those towns Sunday : j At Xenia four persons were injured and several buildings destroyed. No one was hurt at Pana , but the property damage was considerable. Grain was leveled by both storms. MASSACRE SPANISH WORKMEN. Troops Sent to Morocco to Check an Outbreak of Natives. The first brigade of Casadors , com- posed of six battalions of infantry , three batteries of artillery and a squadron of cavalry , as well as the cruiser Xamacia and the transport Ad- miral Lobo , have been ordered to Me- lilla , Morocco , where Saturday four . Spanish workmen were killed by the natives , to reinforce the Spanish troops there. No further fighting was re- ported Saturday. The massacre of the Spanish workmen occurred simul- taneously with the arrival at Madrid of the Moroccan mission , which , it is hoped , will be able to adjust the dif ferences between Morocco and Spain regarding the Riff coast. FIFTEEN ARE INJURED. I Trolley Cars Collide on Williamsburg Bridge Over East River. The prevention of one collision was the cause of another in which fifteen : : trolley car passengers were injured , on the WilltamsLurg br'dge over East river , in New York , Sunday. Charles : Hannori , motorman of a local bridge ; car. which was crowded with passen- ! gers , was running his car at full speed when he discovered that he was dan- : t . , gerously close to a car ahead. He put his brakes on in time to avert a colli- sion ahead , but his car was struck from behind by another car. Both . crs were derailed and fifteen persons , were severely injured , but none fatal. . : . l y. HORSE BUYERS SLAIN. Outlaws Attack Them in IThei ' Camp ; , Near Afton , N. M.

At 9 o'clock Saturday night a furi- ous mob attacked the Argentine lega- tion at La Paz , Bolivia. Troops have been called out and fears are enter- tained for the safety of the Argentine minister. The trouble is the outcome of the decision rendered by President A.Icorta , of Argentine , in the boundary dispute between Peru and Bolivia. Senor Fenozeca is the Argentine minister to : Bolivia. Great crowds who had been parading the streets finally turned in the direction of the Argentine legation , which they sur- rounded. There were shouts of rage , and stones and other missiles were hurled at the building. The local au thorities endeavored to check the manifestations and at length the gov- ernment found it necessary to order out troops. Both this legation and the Peruvian legation are now under strong guard. The Bolivia people unanimously protest against the decision rendered by President Alcorta , which they con- sider most ' unjust. The territory in- volved is the famous Acre district re- cently purchased by Braeil } from Bo livia l for $10,000,000 , notwithstanding the fact that Peru issued a warning that the territory at that time was the subject of arbitration. Serious com- plicaions are anticipated which are certain to involve Brazil. The decision of the president of the Argentine republic in the matter of the boundary limits of Peru and Bo livia l , is entirely contrary to expecta tions. The opinion is held that 'the decision is entirely favorable to Peru , and there is intense excitement among the people. ' TROOPS GUARD COAL MINES. Martial . aw' Declared in Cafe Breton Fields. Martial law prevails in the southern Cape Breton , C. B. coal fields. Troops are guarding the collieries of the Do- minion company and an attempt will be made to operate the mines under military protection. Six hundred men from the Canadian permanent forces arrived at Glace Bay Thursday night and at once went on duty. The men were divided into detachments and distributed among the various collier ies and now the general feeling is that the scenes which attended the first three days of the strike are at an end. Sentries with fixed bayonets guard the approaches to thecollieries and at No. 2 and No. 6 , where the , most trou- ble has been , machines guns command the approaches. ADMITS THE CRI3IE. Frank Sclunidt , Wounded Burglar , Killed Mrs. Sophia Staber. Frank Schmidt , alias John Smith , the wounded burglar , who admits that he killed , Mrs. Sophia Staber Thurs- day in New York City , when he was . caught robbing the Staber home at ' Flat Bush , gave the district attorney his version of the moral to be drawn from the murder. "Mr. Staber and his son are to blame , " he said. "They were fools to try to stop such men as us , when all we wanted was to make a getaway. " "If Mr. Staber would take a gun I would gladly starid up in front of him and let him shoot till I dropped dead. This is how much I regret this affair. " Earthquake Recorded. The seismograph at the university at Hamburg registered an earthquake shock at 10:45 : o'clock Thursday night which , was equal in violence to any of the shocks that have occurred at l > ; es- sina ; since the city was devastated last December. It is estimated that the earthquake occurred about 2,500 miles to tha eastward , evidently in cen- tral : Asia. Three Thousand Made Homeless. A fire which broke out early Fri- tay in a Chinese restaurant on Hai- eybury road , near Cobalt , Ont. , caused : a loss estimated at $100,000. Three thousand have been rendered homeless and the entire business . sec- tion north of the square has been de- stroyed. ; Revolutions Brewing. Mail : : advices from Colombia report very critical condition of affairs in hat ] republic. As the result of the de- parture of President Reys for Europe he various political parties which a few months ago seemed to be united are now completely disorganized , and here are Indiiations that Colombia is in the verge of a great revolution. Lions Eating : Xati .es.

Midnight Tliurwlaj- i The tariff bill passed the senate just after 11 o'clock Thursday night by a vote ] of 45 to 34. The republicans vot- ing in the negative were Beveridge of Indiana , Bristow of Kansas , Brown of Nebraska , Burkett of Nebraska , Clapp Minnesota , Crawford of South Da- kota , Cummins' of Iowa , Dolliver of Iowa , La Follette Wisconsin , and Nelson of Minnesota. i McEnery , of Louisiana , . was the only democrat recorded in the affirmative. The bill will probably be in shape to be 1 sent to the house some time Fri- day , but it is not improbable that the hour j will be so late that the house will have adjourned before the meas- ure can reach it. In that event it will be presented on Saturday. As it passes the senate the bill con- tains almost 400 paragraphs. The senate made , S40 amendments to the house provisions , many of which were added Thursday. Consequently the enrolling clerks are finding the prepa- ration of the bill for the house an ar- duous task. They have been following as closely upon the heels of the senate as was possible , and have the work well in hand. The senate sat continuously Thurs- day from 10 o'clock in the morning until nearly midnight , stopping neith- er for luncheon nor dinner. Most of the many speeches during the day and evening were brief , and in the main the day was devoted to action . upon amendments. HALF OF rl'O'YXVE'.r. . " Novel Situation Comes as the Result of a Virginia } Election. ; The' ' local option election at Bristol , Va. , Thursday resulted in . a ' majority c of 32 for the "wets. " As one-half of Bristol lies in Ten- nessee and is "dry , " the victory of the "wets" In the Virginia half of the , town , which had been "dry" for two years , lends a touch of novelty to the situation. The election followed one of the most hotly contested campaigns ever known in the south. Preparations are already being made for opening saloons and wholesale houses for sup- plying not only the immediate terri tory , but that of the dozen nearby pro- hibition states. The "wets" declare the victory fol- lowing the recent one at Petersburg , Va , will have the effect of checking the state-wide prohibition movement in Virginia. Driven out of the sur- rounding southern states , the whisky people fought tenaciously for a foot holti there. TROOPS TO AID. Soldiers Are Sent from Halifax to Scene of Trouble. The arrival of a train load of troops I in Glace Bay , N . S. , from the barracks at Halifax to assist in quelling disor- ders at the mines of the Dominion Coal company demonstrated the seri- ous condition into which the strike of the United Mine Workers has devel- opend. The Dominion Coal company states that it is well prepared for a long conflict , while the strikers say that they will have the mines com- pletely tied up in a few days. To house the strikers who were evicted from the houses of the com- , pany hundreds of tents have been put up , presenting a unique spectacle amid the coal dust begrimmed buildings ad jacent to the collieries. Adec Has Narrow Escape. I I Alvey A. Adee , second assistant secv retary of state , narrowly escaped seriS | ous injury Thursday in the basement of the state department building when a section of a large filing cabinet which was being installed by workf" men on the third floor fell through an open shaft The assistant secretary was saved by the timely warning shrieked out by one of those who had been handling the cabinet. , Women Joint Raiders Arrested. Fifty-six womon were arrested at West Mineral , Kan. , Thursday for dis turbing the pea-cc following a raid by them on the joints at that place.

S Chinese Praying for Rain. IVe IVd A raising of voices in prayer , the d Chinese : imperial government hopes , may : be followed by copious and great- ly needed rains and a consequent i raising : of crops.

Watson , who lives four miles east of Emerson , Wednes day , in which two children lost their lives. The father and mother were in Emerson , and tne oldest boy , Pen- del , aged 15 , poured some kerosene : oil from five-gallon can into the stove. The fire in the stove caused an explo ? sion. sion.Pen Pendel and his brother Walter , aged 12 , carried the two qhildren ; , aged 18 months and 3 years , outdoors and dip- ped them into water tank to quench the fire in their clothing. The boys then rushed back to the house and put out the flames in the room. Then ' they telephoned to their parents , who , Kfcuix-d , a doctor and started for home. Before . help arrived the two children | were ' dead. Pendel was badly burned about both hands and feet , and Wal ter on both hands. CLOSE AT TAP OF " BELL. Nebraska Qlty Mayor : : Establishes Cur- : fe\v for Liquor Shops. cur-I Mayor L. F. Jackson has adopted a new scheme for timing the opening I ' end closing of the saloons each day at Nebraska City. In the morning I seven taps are struck on the fire bll , ; when it is time to open at 7 o'cl6ck ; and eight taps are struck in the ' e\'en- ai ing , when it } is time for the saloons to close. Officers are stationed about the vicinity of the saloons to see that all close on time , but none watch the opening , save they see to it that none open before the bell taps off the open- ing hour. So far the scheme works well. The curfew is rung on the same bell . at 9 ( ) o'clock during the summer evenings and at S o'clock during the winter evenings , and thus the saloons will close and the small boys and girls get off the streets when the bell 'taps ' 'n ' the winter months. . ENGINES AID TO HARVESTERS. Scanners to Relieve Horses During Muddy Weather Some of the farmers around Beat- rice have equipped their harvesters with a small gasoline engine , which is attached to the rear of the machine , fo'r the purpose of assisting them in cutting their wheat in muddy weather. The idea Is to operate the harvesting mechanism by power from the engine , thus relieving the toam of the extra work of furnishing power for driving the machinery. The truck carrying the engine has wide wooden wheels to : hold it up in a muddy field. TllUST PERIOD EXTENDED.c Omaha Indians AVU1 Net Be "Given " Titles to Tlicir Lands. The original twenty-five-year trust period on the Omaha reservation ] lands was about to expire this year , whereby the Omaha Indians would have come into possession of the Absolute fee' ti- tles to their allotments , but a tele- gram received in } Pender Friday from Washington announces that the same has been extended for , ten years by the president of the United States.

Miss Mary Johnson , aged 18 years , was burned to death at Shelton while trying to light a fire in the kitchen stove with kerosene , and her sister , Eva , two years younger , was so badly injured that she will die within a fevi- hours. . The young women , who are ' daugh- ters of J. R. Johnson , who lives in the south part of town , were alone in the house when the accident happened. One of them poured oil into the stove , in which some cobs were smouldering and thore was an explosion , which j scattered burning oil over the girls and set fire to the house. The older I girl was dead before she could be tak- I en from the burning building by neighbors , who were attracted by scream of the young women. The other was hurried to a physician's \ of- fice and every effort made to save her life ! , but she is so badly injured that she will probably die. The damage to thehouse was about $200. HENRY STILL . \ ' I' LARGE. I . Young ; Man Wlio Murdered Wife Han Left Omaha. Frank L. Henry who shot and lulled his wifo , Maud : : Galloway Henry , Sat- urday night , has not been arre . ed. All city detectives and patrolman have been on the watch for him ever inco the crime was committed , but they say now he may hav-j eluded them and left the city. They are still keep- ing a close watch for him. The alleged murder was due to the woman's refusal to return and live with her husband after a three- months separation , but the police have not yet concluded why she would not live with him. As he has been known to them for years and has been ar rested more than once , they suggest that perhaps that accounts for the wife's refusal. They also advance the theory that l > e wanted to reform , but that she laughed at him and thereby angered him to the point of murder. . .

Tais3 . in Property ) Values. Though only about one-third of the county assessors ' have made their re- turns to the state board of equaliza- tion , the indications are the increase ovor the assessment of last year will not be more than $5,000,000 , exclu- sively : of railroad property. This would b"e an increase of $25,000 actual value. . 1 I Heavy Rain at Omaha. .
