ST. PAUL , Minn. , July 13. A few moments
before ii o'clock this afternoon clouds which
had been threatening a storm began to collect
over tlio region of L.ako McCarron , two or
three miles north of this city , socn taking on
n rotary motion und the terrible appearance
of n cyclone ,
Hundreds of citizens watched.tho clouds as
they swept together and followed their
course to the northwest , in which
direction many friends had gone to
spend the day ut some of the many llttlo
nkcs .scattered over the country. Anxiety
for ubscnt ones drew many down during the
evening to learn the first possible particulars
of what was thought would bo undoubtedly
n disastrous storm.
A young man drove In from Luke Colcmnn
soon afterwards with the Information that at
least two persons were killed nnd over ono
hundred injured ut that point. lie had been
out with a young lady friend , and , having
gone after u buggy to drive homo , on his re
turn to where she had been standing ho found
hli companion Hcrlotuly injured by the storm
which had suddenly come up.
Other reports followed thick nnd fust , each
being a llttlo worse than what nad preceded -
ceded It.
To the north nnd ca'Jt of the city there are
n great number of llttlo lakes , which nro
sought by multitude. ) every Sunday , and on
the shores of those lakes many campers pass
the hot months of the summer. Lake Coleman -
man Is ono of these and the dnmngo thcro
was very heavy.
George Miller , teller of the First National
hnnlc , was killed.
When the storm struck the llttlo lalto the
boat house was lifted up bodily nnd over
turned m the water and n boat loaded with
pei-sons given similar treatment. Other
buildings were demolished or badly wrecked.
Passing from the starting point the cyclone
struck Lake Joanna , Lake Gcrvals , Lake
Vndnals , Llttlo Canada , and passed on a
route for miles east ofVhlto Bcy : lake.
QPasscngcrs on a St. I'aul It Duluth train
which loft White Hear lake at 4 : S5 were np-
preaching Gladstone wli.u they observed n
cyclone forming and watched its motion with
Interest other than fear or excitement. Not ,
BO with the engineer , however. lie saw the
threatening aspect of the shy , nnd with a
a startled look ahead to sea if all was clear ,
pulled out the throttle and the onglno leaped
forward. Ills judgment nud quick action un
doubtedly saved the lives of the train load ,
for the twisting , terrifying devastator crossed
the tracks scarcely more than n minute after
the train passed.
Help that had ueen called for from the
stricken district was nt once sent to them ,
doctors nnd other assistance going as fast us
they could bo taken.
The plnco where the cyclone struck the
ground nnd caused the loss of life was on the )
shore of Lake Gervals , whcro .1 , II. Schur-
inlcrof this city had u summer cottngo und
where Simon Oood was nlso located. A fun
nel-shaped cloud swooped down on them
nnd demolished dwellings uud a number of
other buildings intho same neighborhood.
The cnmp of Colonel Hollcsor of this city ,
where there was a largo party , was blown
down , but the party all escaped injury. In
the wreck of Schurrnler nnd Good's houses ,
however , live wore killed und ten Injured , as
follows :

Later Advices from Lake ( Jorvalso indi
cate that the loss of H font that point may
roach fifty. The most alarming news comes
from tlio keeper of the boat houso. This man
says ho lot out this afternoon ut least fifteen
boata. None of those had less than two oc
cupants and some three or four. Since the
fearful storm passed over the lake no troco of

WASHINGTON , 1) . C. , July 13.
When nt the cud of the present session the
results or the first sitting of the Flfty-llrst
congress nro recapitulated it will bo seen that
this Ini3 been ono of the most Important ses
sions of congressional work known In the
history of the country.
When congress met In December last It
was con fronted with nt least a dozen , of the
greatest economic questions which have over
been considered by n congress ; and probably
never before In a time of pcaco have so many
Important questions been presented at once.
There has neen a great deal ol acrimonious
and probably useless debute ; and nt times
the country may have Imd good reason to bo
out of patleuco with men on both political
sides of tlio national legislature. Looking
backward , however , the wisdom of this debate -
bate can readily bo seen. It also occurs to
those on tnc ground Unit the questions which
have been debated could not have been con
sidered with much less waste of time , per
sonal peculiarities of individuals , representa
tives and senators considered. If all men
scut to congress In either branch of that body
were conservative , studious and reasonable In
their dispositions every propasltlon would betaken
taken up In a business-like manner and dis
posed of with the least possible \vasto of
time ; but a congress composed of 8:10 : mem
bers of the house and 84 senators must of
necessity have in It a very conglomerate mass
of mental possibilities and almost every con-
cclvubio turn of disposition , both mentally
and physically. This congress , not very
widely divided politically , Is not uu exception
to the rule.
When the Fifty-first congress assembled
the republicans , having a clear majority In
both houses and absolute control of the
uxecutivo , was pledged to reform
the tariff. To compile a tariff bill
which Is to become a law is not nearly so easy
a matter as to make one for political purposes
only , as was the case with the committee on
ways and means In the last house. It Is one
thing to make buucom and another thing to
do business. The republicans , however , ar
ranged a bill in the house committee which
will become a law within n few weeks. To
revise tho. tarilf under the present conditions
of trade and politics was one of the most dlftl-
cult things , if political popularity U to ho
considered In any degree , that tlio human
mind could covceive. The farmers of the far
west are undoubtedly laboring under busi
ness stress of mind , and they have formed
political combinations which must ho con
sidered along with the Justice and right
which Is duo them. The prohibition party
and others interested In the reform of the In
ternal taxes also made demands which to a
party in the majority nro serious. There is
no doubt that" the revision of the tarill will
increase the popularity of the predominant
party and redound to the popularity of Presi
dent Harrison's administration.
On top of the tariff question were the mani
fold international questions which come up
under the Pan-American congress. It re
quired n great deal of Ingenuity und much
political self-abnegation on t&o part of repub
lican leaders to so revise the tariff as to not
conflict with the proceedings of the Interna
tional congress. The latter liad u profitable
session , and itwas developed thnt the worlc
upon the tariff bill caused no gratings on the
perfections of the arrangements made for be
ginning negotiations to open commercial re
lations with the American republics to the
south of us.
Next to the tariff and commercial reciproc
ity was the silver question. That has Just
been disposed of in a manner which proves
entirely satisfactory to nil classes even the
monometallists being thoroughly satisfied
along with the most radical free coinage ad
vocates.
The question of fair elections has In all
parts of the country been another issue of
perplexing range which confronted the Fifty
lirst congress. The adoption by the house of
the Lodgo-Uowell hill plainly indicates the
position of the republican party , and there is
very little doubt that it will pass the senate ,
cither nt this session or the next , in about its
present form. This is undoubtedly the most
Important measure that lias ever been
adopted by congress relating to a franchise
of the people , not oven excepting the amend
ment to the constitution which travo the
negro the right of suffrage.
To amend existing laws or create now ones
to conform to the state laws regulating the
trafllc of liquor In such a way as to work no
injustice to those wlo conscientiously bcllOvo
in a wide separation of state and federal au
thority and who have largo property .Inter .
ests in the states , and nt the same time meet
the demands of prohibitionists who called
upon the federal government to exercise its
authority under the interstate commerce law
clause of the constitution by which the states
of the country enjoy prohibition without re
stricting federal authority , was a very .illfll-
cult thing , und it seemed that it was thrown
upon tills congress at a time and in a form
which made it most burdensome , for the supreme
premo court had just decided the question in
such a way as to bringdown bittorcomplalnts
from n very largo portion of good citizens.
Tiio senate took the lead in this matter and
adopted Senator Wilson's "original package"
amendment to the Interstate commerce law ,
Uiul the house has so amended that amend
ment as to iiiuko it about us satisfactory us it
Is unqcUitn fr tnnltntt. .
The national educational bill came along for
its consideration at the hands of this congress
a question which lias been a perplexing ono
In congress for many years and which has
been a national issue for a decade ,
Subsidies for the establishment of com
mercial steamship lines between the United
States and Soutli and Central America und
mall lines between thia and other countries
nroso in the preparation of three or four np-
nroprintiou bills and hnvo taken Independent
form of tonnage and subsidy measures In both
horses. This congress promises to dispose of
both propositions before it closes its second
session , and to do it satisfactorily to the
masses of American people.
There were seventeen contested elections
in the house when that body met In Decem
ber last , and almost every one of them was
based upon n general principle involving Is
sues which httvo llgured more or less In
national campaigns ever since the war. There
Is not n man north or south who can successfully -
fully contend against the llnal action of the
house In all of the cases which hnvo been dis
posed of. and those which have been reported
upon and which will presently roeolvo llnal
disposition. There have been n great deal of
iwlltics in the contested elections In this
house.
\\'o have established a system of signals to
guldo ships at scu and to govern the courses
of InU'rocean vessels , which many past con
gresses hnvo failed to accomplish , und which
will undoubtedly bo of great service.
The appropriation bills and several sep
arate measures have contained provisions
which not only further protect the rights of
settlers on the public domain , but which will
expedite cases pending in tnc general land
ofilcoand the Interior department generally ,
The dependent pension hill has brought

the two iMjlltlciil parties , for It contained
mauv wheels within wheels and conflicting de
mands. The result of the bill Is ns satisfac
tory to the population of the country as a
whole as It was posslblo to'mnkolt.
President Harrison's' .nflproval of every
pension measure Is in shnvp contrast with the
record made by his Immediate predecessor ,
A great many other measures of more or
less public interest have been adopted by
congress. There may not bo moro hills fin
ally passed than have bcon improved by the
put cougwsses , for this has not been n
session favorable to private measures and
individual claims , but when It comes to gen
eral measures of national Interest nnd the
disposition of vcxntlous Issues which long
figured in political campaigns , the record
of this congress will surpass that of any
other slnco the war , not excepting the Forty-
seventh congress , vheti the tariff was last
revlso I and several acts cf moment were
placed upon the statutes , by republican ef
fort.
CONFRIIKXCE OF SOUTIIKHX llirunMCANS.
There was n conference last night of the
southern republicans at tborooms of Congress
man Uowdcr of Virginia , ' who by common
consent is regarded as tholondcrof the south
ern republicans. After n full discussion of
the present status of the-olectlon bill in the
senate It was decided to nppolnt a committee
representing the southern clement of congress
to cull upon the senators nnd urge the passage -
sago of the elections bill In the strongest
terms. The coimnlttco appointed con
sists of Messrs. Dowden , Houclc of
Tennessee , Brewer of North Carolina ,
McDuffoy of Alabama and Mudd of Mary
land. They will cull upon the different re
publican senators tomorrow and will endeavor
to persuade them to pasf , the Lodgo-Kowell
bill as adopted by the house rather than the
Hour bill , which seems to bo inferred in the
senate.
TI1UCB SIGNIFICANT UTTLE WORDS.

partment. It is no disparagement to any ono
In the entire naval bcrvicfl to say that Com
mander Soley has done morotoglvo this
country the now fleet it has nt present than
any other man. In fuct helms for years past ,
oven before Mr , Whitney became secretary of
the navy , formulated tho' ' policy which has
now resulted in giving the United States the
micclus of a navy , becrctary Tracy uud tuo
ofllco of assistant secretary created ivlth u
view to Commander Soley's appointment , nnd
every succeeding secretary would have been
glad to retain Assistant Secretary Soloy in
that position owing to Uls'completoknowledge
of all the worlc of the department. It Is an
open secret , for instance , that the recent
complete reorganization Of nil the divisions
In the navy department * was Commander
Soloy's work , but an obstacle has presented
Itself. By some mysterloiis Influence there
were Inserted In the conference report on
the hill after the clause providing for the
ofllco the three llttlo words , "from civil life. "
Tills will , of course , effectually debar Com
mander Soley. It Is generally suspected
that Senator Chandler had these words in
serted in conference' nt the Instance -
stance of the staff officers , whoso
legal representative ho is. Commander
Solcy , being alineofllcor , it Is only natural
that the staff , with its usual hatred of the
line , should have taken oaro that Commander
Solcy should be b.u-red out of the oflico
which they know had bceri created for him.
Secretary Tracy Is uow6ndonvorlng to per
suade Commander Soloy-tb resign from the
navy in order that ho , may bo appointed
"from c-ivil life. "
WAST TUG TOnACCd itax REDUCED ,
The southern republicans hnvo not yet
abandoned all hop'o of the repeal of the
tobacco lax despite thcinctlon.of .both house
and senate committees , TJjo * McKinley bill ,
it will bo remembered , reduced the tax from
8 cents R pound to 4 cenj/i / , . anil the senate
committee on 11 n unco in its bih restored tbp
tax back to 8 cents. The northerners hnrb
appointed a committee consisting of Mcssw.
Mudd of Maryland , \Vnddell of Virginia and
Browcrof North Carolina to labor with tha
senators in behalf of the repeal of
the tobacco tax , ana , falling In that , to
reduce the tax to nt least where )
the McKinley bill put it. They will make an
earnest struggle with Uio senators , but It
does not seem probable that their efforts will
meet with any success.
LEGISLATION" IS TlIE HOUSE.
The prospects nro not at a l brignt for any
material legislation at thd.hands of the house
during the remainder of the session unless
Speaker Ilccd calls in the absent repub'i- '
cans. 'iho democrats have reiterated their
positive statement of sonic days ago thnt no
legislation shall lie enacted without a quorum
and no partisan Icgislatldn .shall go through
the house with the assistance of demo-
ccratlc votes or except the republicans
have quorum over a dilatory and useless mo
tion. As Mr. Dockery of Allssourt put It to
day , "Tho democrats are not engaged In once
moro malclfig the house n deliberative body. "
There are a lot of non-partisan senate bills on
the calendar or the house measures of gen
eral Importance and while the democratic
"spell" lasts there is no nrospcct of the iinal
adoption of any of them. ' *
A XUSIONAT10X THAT' CAUSES TALK.
A good deal of gossip is going around con
cerning the sudden resignation of u lieuten
ant In the navy. To nonc.n [ his friends bad
the ofllcer expressed any Jntontlfln Avbatcvcr
of resigning , und the first they knew of his
purpose was the oftlcial announcement of his
resignation. Still greater surprise was
caused by the fact that ho had not asked for
the customary leave of nbscnco for ono year ,
which would of course' ' have been granted
him. The resignation of this
ofllcer of course caused a vacancy
which gave oae cadet at Annapolis an cn-
slgnshlp in the navy. It is not an uncommon
thing for the parents of a naval graduate at
.Annapolis when , on graduating , thcro is no
vacancy to which ho can bo appointed and in
consequence of which ho must retire to pri
vate life , to persuade in some more or loss
mysterious way some young lieutenant , to
whom the consideration , If largo enough ,
would bo very acceptable , to resign and thus
create a vacancy all along the line of promo
tion. PEIUIY S. HUATU.

bull club is not yet quite out of the woods
financially , although thcro nro good grounds
for the hollolthat It will bo kept In the Held
the rest of the season. While the club was
away playing at Mnncapolls , Milwaukee nnd
St. Paul , during which trip out of ton games
it lost nil but ouo , efforts were bcliifj made ut
home to put tlio club upon Us feet , but every
game lost apparently drove anotuer null In Its
ooflln , and the only saving feature was the
fact that the boys brought considerably more
money baelc with them than they
hail when tn y started away.
But there wasvery llttlo imxlcty
on the part cf the people to go down to the
parlt to see tlio pcrforin.mocof their trip re
peated on the homo grounds , But every frame
has resulted in a victory so far , and confi
dence and interest Is liduf ? restored , which Is
innnlfest by the Increased attendance. The
salaries , however , become iluo again on TWS-
day and there is not money enough in sight at
present to pay them. A meeting of the stock
holders \voa held last night ami it was re
solved to make u supreme cHort tomorrow to
solve the problem. ' 1'he business men of the
"city will bo asked to close up
for a couulo of hours and every body
turn out to the Kimic ; also to push tlio sale of

that the city of DCS Molncs is tlio equal In

On tlio following morning ( Saturday )
the disease developed enough to show Its
triio character peritonitis but oven then
the ease was not .insidered dangerous , nnd a
dispatch to that effect was bent to Seabrlght.

Tin ; HEE. ] Tlio alrluu given llio Justices'
courts of lid * city by the newspapers us to
Iheir methods of plnudciliig the public treas
ury under the pretense of enforcing the pro
hibitory law has had u salutary effect , audit
Is safe to presume that hereafter the costs In
three cases , m well as tlio number ol cases ,
will bo materially reduced. Tlio board of
supervisors took hold of the matter and de
cided that hereafter only ouo witness will bo
paid In oases arising ; under n search warrant ,
where lliero Is no claimant for the liquors
sei/ed. Another feature of the rob
bery wis exposed , showing that tha
same parsons had been drawing witness fees
In dozens of ear.es a day , mid In dllTercut
courts on the same day , whereas the sUituto
says witness fees shall bo so much per diem ,
uiul the supreme court has Interpret oil this to
mean that no moro thtin ono per dloin fee can
bo legally drawn , tliouili ; the witness should
testify In any number of cases. Tlio notion of
the board of supervisors also In vacating sev
eral townships and loglslat lug several justices
of the pence nnd constables out of office , as
was decided In the case of Frank Picrco
against tlio DCS Molncs leader , will hnvo the
oft'i'it of reducing tlio amount of Icpal ma
chinery In this city and greatly lessoning the
expenses.
Since all those matters have como to light
the seizures of illegal llq\ior hnvo IUHJU In
larger quantities , uiul In many cases the supposed -
posed proprietors thereof have been sum
moned Into court nnd required to prove tlio
purpose for which the liquor was In their
possession. The newspapers that luivo been
eninigod in inaldiig these illHrlosunw have
( Milled down upon thom.-.elvos tlio wrath of
the crank prohibitionists who claim such
things will injure the cause , not bcliiR able to
see that It Is not the law that Is beliiK at
tacked but the robbery that Is going on lu ita
alleged enforcement.
Governor Holes has been exercising execu
tive clemency in several cases of tines nnd
imprisonment for violation of the liquor law.
Notable amoiiK these Is the case of the llow-
mans at MnrshnlHuwn , who have had several
suits In the courts for several years past , nnd
were nt last taking them to the United States
supreme court. In the Iowa courts flues
were nssesseil against thorn amounting
toovor 1,000 bolides heavy eosti , but so Im
poverished hud Uncle John Uowmun become
from his Ion ? litigation Uut ho had about
alundoned further defense mid ho and his
sons liad mortgaged their homesteads to
nocuro their bondsmen , when the famous
original package decision of the United States
supreme court "camo to their relief. Even
then the state authorities refused to release
them nnd the mutter was laid before Gov
ernor Doles and on Friday hist word was re
ceived from the governor that ho hud con
cluded to remit unconditionally all their flues.
The 13owmans recently owned ono of the
llQCgt browerlos la the stall' , but Its value

tbolr other property was lost in an attempt to
save the brewery from total conllscatioti by

conllncd in tha Clinton county jail u man

for nine months for assault and attempt to
