eae POSTAL FIGHT NOW | INVOLVES PAYNE. | | Attempt to Draw Him Into It by Critic- ising His Appointment of Rand. Washington, April 8.—While the in vestigations being conducted into the affairs of the postoffice depart- ment by Mr. Bristow, the fourth as- sistant postmaster general, relateen- tirely to charges of extravagance and official irregularities, thefriction among officials of the department has become so pronounced that charges and countercharges are being daily bandied about between branches of the service. Ap effort has been made to involve the postmaster general’s immediate staff in the scandal through the pub- ication of gossip and charges con- cerning the connection of Mr. H. H. Rand with a copper mining company officered and controlled by employes of the postoffice department. The gossip has been to the effect thatem- ployes of the department have been practically required to purchase stock in this company in order to re- tain the support and influence of the heads of divisions who are interested in the concern, Mr. Machen, general superintendent of free delivery, is president of the company. He asserts that he has discouraged employes from purchas ing stock. The capital is limited, and he has not desired, he says, to have minor employes of the depart- ment interested in it. Mr. Rand is also an official of the copper company. Mr. Rand has long been the {confidential clerk of Mr. Payne and was assigned to duty in the department, when Mr. Payne became postmaster general. Now tt is charged that his assignment was in violation of the civil service rules. No charge has been filed to this ef- fect, the parties to the internecine warin the department being satisfied with circulating reports for the pur- pose of attempting to draw Mr. Payne personally into the fight. A TORNADO IN ARKANSAS. Nine Killed, Many Maimed and Prop- erty Destroyed. Little Rock, Ark, April 8.—Spe- cials to the Arkansas Gazette from several towns in White and Cleburne counties, Arkansas, telling of a tor- nado, which swept through that sec- tion Tuesday night, leaving death and destruction in its wake. The major portion of thecountry through which the storm ploughed its way is remote from railroads, telegraph or telephone lines. A correspondent wired from Searcy, Ark., to-night, that he had gone over a portion of the track of the storm end that trees are twisted up by the roots and houses demolished. Thus far it has been impossible to ascertain where the storm began but it is known that it raged in those two counties. Itis thought the fa- talities will mount much higher when reports are received. The latest re- ports are that nine are dead, three dying, and three badly injured. The towns of Little Red, Albion, Bradtord, Heber and Pangburn have been heard from thus far. Austria and Russia Together. London, April 8.—Parliament ad- journed to-day for the Easter holi- days. In the usual discussion of for- eign affairs prior to an adjournment Premier Balfour referred to the Bal- xan situation. He said the saving feature was the cordial co-operation of Austria and Russia with the view of improving the condition of the Christians. These two powers were | other cough medi that is claimed for it, and it isso pleasant to take. My little girl more directly interested with the others, and with what could not be accomplished by them he had hopes that the other signatories of the Ber- lin treaty, ‘anxious as they were to end the intolerable state of things,” would be able to devise a cure forthe “disease afflicting that portion of the Turkish empire.” The government, Mr. Balfour continued, was consider- ing sending British officers to ac- eompany the Turkish troops engag- edin the suppression of disorder, with the view of having some guarantee shat no excesses were committed.

She took water rapidly, and fifty men belonging to the eighteenth pst tmeety tied, er infantry at Oporto have mutinied, owing to the belief that they were about to besent to the Portugese colonies in Africa. The passengers, many of them in a panic, were rescued by a passing tug and brought to the city. The crew remained on board, gathered at the The collision occurred in a thick fog, and it is said the Allegheny was anchored at the time, waiting for clearer weather to make her way up the harbor to her pier.

OF TORNADO IN ALABAMA Widespread Danger Caused by Terrific Storm at 2 O'clock in the Morn Hanceville, Ala., April 8.—A tor- nado passed over Hopewell settle- ment, one and one-half miles south of here, at 2 o’clock this morning, and asa result twelve persons are dead, four fotally injured and many more of less seriously hurt, while the destruction to property isheavy. The storm came from the south- east, and its roar wasso terrific that it woke many persons, some of whom fled from their houses in time to es- cape death by having the houses blown down on them. Buildings were tossed about like paper boxes and several structures were blown a hundred yards or more. The bedy of McCoy, who wasa prom- inent farmer, was blown 200 yards and landed in a sand pit. The house of Mrs. John Norton was blown down, but the family escaped by crawling under the bed while the timbers and brick fell on top of the bed, breaking the force of the fall. The houses of the Oden and Griffin families were smashed to splinters, and it seems marvelous that any of their occupants escaped death. Trees were uprooted in all direc- tions, and many were blown across the Louisville and Nashville railroad tuack, delaying trains for a time, The roar of thestorm was heard at Hanceville, where it awoke many persons, butno damage was done there, As soon asthe destruction wrought was made known here rescuers hur- ried to the scene to give attention to the dead and wounded. TORNADO IN KENTUCKY. Owingsville, Ky., April 8 —A_tor- nado swept over this section early to-day, doing great damage to the tobaeco plantations and buildings, Negroes Attack Town Hall, Lawrenceburg, Ind., April 9.—A mob of negroes, numbering nearly fifty, armed with various weapons, assaulted the Town Hall of Cleve, O., this morning, completely demol- ishing its walls, roofs and windows with boulders, clubs and billets, A number of young white people were dancing in the hall and several were slightly injured. With drawn revolvers the white men chased the black mob away. A running fight through town followed and many shots were fired. One negro was slighly wounded, but got away. A patrol is preventing an attack of indignant whites on the negro settle- ment at Coal City. Stops the Cold and Works off the Cold. Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.

The announce- ment that William R.
