Liscor.s , Neb. , Juno 5. [ Special to
Tun Bci : . ] Governor Tlmycr , accompanied
by the principal stuto ofllclnlH , visited Brad-
shaw , the scene of llio recent cyclone , today
on a special train tendered by Superintendent
Bigncll of the B. & M. On the Invllallon of
the governor the following gentlemen accom
panied him : William Lecse , attorney general ;
Benjamin Cowdcry , secretary ot stale ;
Thomas H. Benton , slalo auditor ; John Steen ,
land commissioner ; George B. Lane , superin
tendent public Instruction ; Kdwurd Bignoil ,
division superlnlendcntof the B. & M. ; H. D.
Owens , special artist for Frank Leslie's
Weekly , and Tun Hun correspondent.
The train left Lincoln at 10:03 : a. m. nnd ar
rived at the devastated village about 11:25. :
Before the town WHS reached , however , there
wro evidences on every hand of the cy
clone's fury.
Dead hogs and horses lay scattered through
the fields , debris from house. * lay avcrywhoro
and hero and there n pile of rubbish marked
vlho spot where once a pretty farm
liousu had Blood. This gave
some hint of tlio desolation Unit
mlgnt probably bo witnessed later on , but
ov'iiiMmtlons of astonishment broke from
every lip when the town was reached.
An entire village of 2i" buildings coin-
pli tey ! demolished , not a single ono of them
affording protection from the elements , was
the .light which met the gaze of the party.
A more forlorn spectacle could not bo con
ceived than llio shiiDcless mass of debris that
Indicated where llio lown had formerly stood.
The dead bodies of domestic animals , and the
ragged remnants of clothing peeping from
tbo ruins or lodged in leafless trees , added to
the desolation.
lliiln Is apparent everywhere and nn army
of vandals could not have more effectually
razed a city to the ground.
The town was crowded with visitors from
n radius of twenty-five miles around , and it
was dilllcult to nuke one's way up tlio princi
pal street on account of the Immense throng
of curious people that had Hooked
to tlio scene. Persons could
bo seen traversing the fields out-
-Bido of the city looking for strange freaks of
the cyclone.
As each member of the governor's party
picked his way through the debris in tlio
streets , or visited tlio ruins in which were
temporarily domiciled the more dangerously
hurt , the wonder grew as he realized more
nnd more the full force of the damage done.
All formft-estimates of the fatalities and
damages prove too small. Tlio dead list is
now known to number seventeen , und the
floss to the town and country property com
blnod is estimated to bo over ? 500,000. The
insurance is only $ -,000.
With two exceptions all the fatalities- ;
ported are confined to the country ami have
thereby been confirmed with only tbo great
est difficulty. No exact estimate can bo
placed upon the number injured , but over
two hundred persons nro rumored to have
Buffered more or less physical pain from the
cyclone. About n doron of Ihesu will dio.
A great many families have been taken to
neighboring towns or gone to stay with rela
tives in the country. Others
have returned to their old homes in Iowa and
Illinois. Several score of families are loft In
the illy , and these are without shelter ,
money or friends.

Bhaw and York , carrying all the Injured and
needy ones free of charge , besides thu carpen
ters who are busy repairing the few houses
with upright walls.
A building committee consisting of H. K.
Byrnes , A. K. Hliodcs and Cius Turner has
been formed. Mr. T. M. Shollenberger Is
using thu remnants of hU bank as a place for
receiving subscriptions for the sufferers.
I la reply to Governor Thayer's question ,
'What can wo do for you I" ho said :
"Wo need money and lumber more than
anything dso , Olvo us these nud wo will bo
satisfied , although provisions und bed cloth
ing would bu nvallablu. Donations of clothIng -
Ing nro nccdod the least of all.
The governor , therefore , UiU evening Issued
npl'i.ds to thu mayors of the various cillci ,
t 'wus and villages of thu slate , asking
them to raise collections of money , provisions
nnd l > ed clothes for the unfortunate people.
Ho also announces that the gathering of vis
itors Is n great nuisauca. Help and not curi
osity Is needed.
Shortly before 2 o'clock the governor end
party boarded their special car and anne
back 03 far ns York. Hero the governor
found thirty-six of the Injured lying on cots
at the Wyoming hotel , which had been Im
provised Into a hospital. Ho shook hands
with and had a kind word for each one. This
had a brightening effect'on the sufferers. At
5 p. in. the party arrived In Lincoln.

The Husslun settlement southwest of town
covers two townships and but little is yet
known of damage and fatalities there.
Word comes from the country south of
town that people arc too busy digging graves
to como to Bradshaw.
As thu wind was shaking the house of
Jacob Pointer his little daughter said to her
frightened mother : "Mamma , let's us pray. "
Ono mluuto Inter both mother and child were
found corpses.
The rotary motion of the wind is shown by
thu fact that Tylln Colby's house and others
wore carried toward the southwest , from
which direction the wind came.
Mr. Hulix , the Lincoln baker , sent a largo
quantity of bread to the sufferers today.
C. N. Dietz lias sent u car load of lumber

SKIIITS AND INCIDENTS.
A most pitiable sight was that of Mrs.
Ilrlcc , a widow with six children , standing
upon thu foundation of what had been her
homo , not u handful of earthly effects in sight.
Not even so much as a griddle of her steve
could bo found.
Mr. Meeker and wife , an aged couple , were
silting in their lioiiho when llio storm came.
The ; building was carried a hundred feet and
pulveri/.cd. When taken from the shapeless
mass of debris they were uninjured siuo a
few bruises.
Carl Burns , speaking of his experience in
the storm , said : "I was standing in tl.o
doorway of my store when the storm came
up. The shingles began to fly , and the roar
ing noise caused mo to seek a plucoof safety.
I started to descend the stairs to the base
ment as the front ami roof of the building
were taken away. With much difficulty I
crawled to the stairs. There , was a horse
part of the way down the flight of stairs ,
blocking them. I then Miececded in reaching
another staircase leading to the basement ,
where I remained until the storm had sub
sided. I can describe the noise only as a
loud roaring and deafening breaking ol tim
bers. I was in the basement perhaps eight
minutes , ami all was over. A 3lit)0 ) pound
safe In the grain office was blown forty feet. "
Thomas Gray found tlio tin box which was
placed in the corner stone of the Congrega
tional church nearly two miles away with
the contents intact.
Adjutant-General Cilo has arrived from
Lincoln by special train bringing fifty tents ,
which were put in readiness as soon as pos
sible for those who remain.
Many of thoYork ladies deserve mention for
their heroic efforts in relieving the sufferers ,
among them Mrs. Di. Scdgwick and H. B.
Haider , who harnessed Iheli ; horses and
drove to thu scene of the disaster nl midnight
in the storm and rain and remained all day.

A BOLT ON THE SILVER BILL ,
Rebellion Against the Bullion Redemption
Feature Threatened ,
FREE COINAGE IS A POSSIBILITY ,
ProspcctH ftir Silver Legislation of
Sonic Kind Now Considered Good
Valentino Heine Pushed to

WASHINGTON nuiicAU Tun OMAHA BUB , 1
513 FOUHTRBXTH SlIUinT , V
WASHINGTON. D. C. , Juno fi. )
Nothing but silver was talked nbout In
Washington todny. Mr. Hiscock , Mr. Slier-
man and others made speeches on the senate
side , but the excitement was at the other end
of the capital , where the battle was. There
is now nn immediate prospect of legislation
and every one will bo glad to have the sub
ject out of the way. .
The president and secretary of the treasury
arc both very anxious that something should
bo done , because tlioy believe the present un
certainty is very Injurious to the business in
terests of the country. The slow progress
that the senate has been making and this feel
ing on the part of the administration led to
the caucus yesterday which was u very sud
den as well ns un exciting affair.
The usual call was not Issued
but the members were notified in their scats
during the afternoon.
"Tho only thing between the house and
free coinage , " said a republican leader this
afternoon , "is parliamentary strategy. It is a
fact that Speaker Heed has control of the situa
tion , but it will take as much nerve us ho
showed when ho first assumed what the demo
crats call the 'char's sceptre. ' lie Is against f rco
coinage , but ho must agree to have the bullion
redemption feature stricken out or n sufficient
number of members of his own party will
join the democrats and overrule the ruler.
These nro the terms they offer and ho will
have to give in. "
The republicans had n narrow escape
today. If two more of them had
voted against their party the result would
has-o been that Mr. Heed and his committee
on rules would have been defeated. As it
was Messrs. Anderson , Funston and Kelly
of Kansas , Burtino of Nevada , Council of
Nebraska , Morrow and Do Haven of Cali
fornia , Featherstono of Arkansas , Hermann
of Oregon and Townsend of Colorado bolted
the caucus and voted against their party ,
and nineteen others would have done so had
they dared. The gentlemen I have named
will vote with the democrats for free coinage
whenever they get a chance , and there arc at
least live , and perhaps nine others , will will
do so , not because they desire to bolt their
party but because their constituents demand
it , and Just now on the eve of the con
gressional nominating conventions they arc
all anxious to do whatever their constituents
want.
Then , again , there are from twenty-five to
thirty men who will vote for n free coinage
substitute for the present bill unless the bul
lion redemption feature is not stricken out.
Tlieso combined with the democrats will
make u majority and the democrats will force
the issue if they can. They want to put the
republicans in a hole. There nro a sufficient
number of members on the democratic side
who are opposed to free coinage to offset the
bolting republicans if they would yote ac
cording to their convictions , but they will
not do so. They would like to put the re
publicans on record as opposing the free
coinage of .silver , because they believe such
action would throw California , Nevada ,
Colorado and Montana into Hie democratic
column and gain several scattering districts ,
and they arc willing to sacrifice their convic
tions for political advantage. They would
also like to give the president a chance to
veto u free coinage bill , lor if the house
passes one the senate is prcttv sure to concur
111 it.
it.Messrs.
Messrs. Flower , Fitch and several other
anti-free coinage democrats refused to vote
today because they did not want the bill to go
back to the committee. They want it con
sidered , ns they believe silver legislation of
any sort at thU session will bo apt to injure
the republicans ; that If it goes too far it will
weaken them in Ne\v York and New Kng-
lund ; that if it does not go far enough it will
lose them votes in llio prairie and mountain
states.
If the report of the committee
on rules had not been adopted
today there would bo no silver legislation this
session. As the situation stands now the
house will pass some kind of a bill on next
Saturday , probably the one adopted by the
republican caucus last night , requiring the
secretary of the treasury to purchase and coin
$1.1,000,000 in silver monthlv and to issue upon
it certificates which si all bo legal tender and
redeemable in lawful money ,
The bill releases the redemption fund now
held in the treasury for banks in liquidation
and has some minor provisions.
"They must strike out the bullion redemp
tion feature , " said Heprescntnlivo Horsey of
Nebraska , tills afternoon , "or wo will repudi
ate the bill and vote with the democrats for
frco coinage. That is what the western
members will do. What wo object to Is milk
ing silver merchandise instead of money. If
they will strike out that section wo Will bo
satisfied. "
"How many arc there of yuu who feel that
wayi"
"Thirty-seven of us stood up and wore
counted in the caucus last night , and very
near that number will vote for a substitute
for u bill providing for free coinage if the ob
jectionable , amendment is not taken out. "
"How many free coinage republicans arc
there in congress ! "
"Everybody west of the Missouri river is
for free colnairc. "
"And how many will vote for it , caucus erne
no caucus I"
"Twenty odd. I offered an amendment in
the caucus last night which if it hud been
agreed to would have satisfied everybody.
My amendment was that the government
should purchase all the silver from the mines
in this country and all the silver refined in
this country from imported ores , and in pay
ment therefore issue United States treasury
notes and make these notes legal tender and
receivable for all customs duties and
make them mlouimiblo in lawful money ,
and providing that the secretary can coin as
much of this bullion ns hu may de.sire , and
when the silver dollar shall reach the value
of the gold dollar , coinage ahull bo frco.
Everybody would vote for that amendment
except the monometalllsts from New York
and Massachusetts. "
Mr. Pnyson , who has taken the load of the
five coinage men , said this afternoon that ho
thought tlio republicans would got together
and that the bill would bo amended so that
everybody could vote for it.

Mr. McComas' effort in the house todny to

portant conl'ircnee of the southern republi
cans ,
The twenty-one republican members from
the southern states met last night after the
partv caucus in thu rooms of Mr. Dowilcn of
Virginia. They decided to act as a unit in
calling up the bcvcral measures of vital 1m-
l > ortanco to them ami their section. Among
these was the war claims bill and an educa
tional bill whfch is practically the
old Blair bill of blessed , mem
ory. They also discussed the subject
of a federal elect ion law. They all fuYornn

bills yet brought forward fully satisfy them.
It U their determination to antagonize every

CHICAGO SVOAIl MBV.
The Chicago sugar men had their Inning
before the committee on finance today , und
appeared to ask for an amendment to the tar-
Ill bill providing for iv rebate upon all sugar
held in stock throughout , the country when
the bill goes Into effect. 'ThU ' Is what Omnlin
nnd Indianapolis and Other jobbers have
asked. There seemed to bo no objection on
the part of the committee to the suggestion.
nnd In fact It Is considered a very important
one , ns It is likely to bo effective In aiding to
allay the disturbed condition of business , nnd
the Chicago committee are going homo well
satisfied with their work. I asked u member
of the scnato committee- what they wore
gohlft to do with the sugar schedule. "I do
not know , " ho replied , " \vn have not got that
far yet , but there is lots of good politics in
frco sugar this year. "
IANOiUOUS : INDIAN * .
Congressman Carter of Montana today re
ceived a dispatch from Joe Scott of Allies
City relating the facts in connection with the
Cheyenne uprising. The message states Unit
the Choycnncs murdered u Mr. Ferguson , a
prominent stockman of Ouster. and that the
provocation wns that Ferguson had discov
ered Indians killing cattle and had reported
them to the authorities. It further relates
that the lives of the people in the vicinity arc
in danger if the government docs not imme
diately come to the assistance of the settlers
with troops. The scone of the murder is
about sixty miles south of Miles City , which
is the nearest railroad .and telegraph station ,
and the reservation upon which the Indians
are located Is probably thirty miles from
Fort Cnster , the nearest military post. Mr.
Carter and tlio .Montana fcenator have made
application to the secretary of war for n de
tail of troops to go immediately to tlio Chey
enne agency , arrest the murderous savages
who nro guilty of the slaughter of Ferguson
and see that order is preserved. There is no
doubt that the request will bo granted.
At the war department it Is stated that the
savages aroof n very troublesome disposition.
In IS > :1 : they cut their way from the Indian
territory to the locality where they are now
situated , leaving a trail of blood behind them.
They were captured by , General Miles mid
located upon their reservation by executive
order. There were about one hun
dred nnd fifty white persons in the
community tit the time and the location
of the Indians there has caused trouble ever
since , the Indians being extremely blood
thirsty mid warlilcc. There are about eight
hundred of tlio Cheycnues now upon the Hose-
bud river. f
A caucus of the republican senators is to
bo held next week toselect a sergeaut-at-urms
to succeed Colonel Ciumday. Nebraskans
here are confident that ex-Congrcssmau V.
K. Valentino will be choson.
From letters received here it appears that
an impression prevails in the census district
over which Mr. StanlTor _ is supervisor that
the Nebraska senators or 'representatives in
congress have been interfering with tlio
supervisors' appointments. I am requested
to state that neither Senator Manderson nor
Senator Paddock or elthcnof the three repre
sentatives have in any wiiy interfered with
the appointments of enumerators in that or
any other district in Nobniska and that ap
pointments havo. been left' to the supervisors
solely. .

A largo number of requests are being re
ceived from South Dakota for carp to bo
placed in fish ponds under onstruction there.
The artesian wells of South Dakota afford
most excellent facilities for carp ponds. The
water is so warm that the ponds will not
freeze in winter and the water Is always kept
full of life. The fish commission ships carp
to various points in the United States upon
request of congressmen and pays tlio express
tariff.

General John Hawkins , formerly of Omaha ,

In ArrcHted.
NinvcASTi.i : Pa. , Juno 5. [ Special Tele
gram to TUP. Bui : . ] A great sensation was
created lirro today by the arrest of Mrs. llnn-
dolph , who is charged with having conspired
to murder Banker W. P. Foltz. The woman ,
who is best known as Mrs. McGinty , made a
business of illegal medical practice , and after
carrying on her nefarious trade for twelve or
fifteen years , slio was finally convicted and
sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.
When she was released three years ago slio
started a little store in a suburb known as
Chinatown on the west side , and that was
her occupation when arrested.
Foltz Is president of Fiwt National bank.
About a month ago Mrs. MeGinty approached
Sam Kissinger , a well known character , and
told him there was big inoupy in a Jobslio had
on hand , providing ho had enough nerve to do
llio work. She finally told him ho was to
make way with Foltz. The next morning
Kissinger came over to town for llio purpose
of tolling of the occurrence. Mayor Brown
was absent from the city mil ho disclosed the
matter to Dr. John Mcivinldy. McKinley ad
vised him to go direct to FolU and acquaint
him with the conversation * . Ho did so , but
Foil ; ; treated the matter as a trilling Joko.
The matter worried Foltz more than ho
cared to admit , however , and ho went to
Mayor Brown nnd employed him and Detec
tive Marshall to probe the thing. Detective
Marshall and Brown weia to work. They
firsl found that the UOINOII Wishing to employ
Kissinger was the McGlntji woman. Several
meetings were had by uppolnlmcnt nnd at
each of these Mai-shall iimlj Brown were hid
den In the room and heird , the conversation.
The last ronde/vimti was on Monday night

since Mr. Flick was nominated and clee'cd '
two years ago. The issue is not as to his
competency nor tlio principles ho advocates ,
but about the spoils of office. Hois accused
of having promised every active worker an
office. To promise was easy enough , but to
fulfill the 'promises was where the trouble
began , mid as a consequence u lngo
