. : Storms in Illinois.
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.

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.

3IOB : : ATTACKS : A LEGATION.
Fears Felt ; for Safety of Argentine
Minister.
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.

l TARIFF BILL PASSES.
I
I '
, Senate Adopts Measure Just Before
.
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 TWO CHILDREN vnXE ] ) .
Distressing Accident Happens at an
Emerson Home.
A distressing ac ident happened at
| the , home of P. T. 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.

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.

I GIHL BUKNED TO DEATH.
Miss Mary Johnson Losses Life from
Lighting Fire with Ooil.
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.

.
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

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

The Senate Monday adopted tli
Brown resolution providing for tht
submission of the income tax amend
ment to State legislatures. Senatoi
Rayner made a fight against the cua ,
I
toma court feature of the administra . '
tive amendment. He declared that tht
court would be found to be unconsti
tutional because , while dealing witi
questions at common law , it makes : nc
. .
provision for trial by jury , whicB
every suitor under common law has a
right to demand. The provision , aftei
being defended by Republican lawyers
was accepted without division , but not
until it had been amended in accord .
ance with Rayner's suggestion to ex 1
elude criminal cases from its opera ' I
tion. There was only a small part oj
;
the membership present when th $ '
House met. Chaplain Couden offered
a prayer expressing : : patriotism appro
priate to the day. A message from th@
President recommending an appropria I
tion to pay the claim of a subject oj
