To amend the act for the allotment of lands in severalty on the various Indian reserva- tions, A QUESTION RAISED, Aresolution offered by Mr. Teller to recall from the President a bill in his hands in order to correct a verbal inaccuracy (the use of ‘‘and” instead of “‘or”) raised the question whether one house could recall a bill with- out the concurrence of the other house; and also as to what, in either case, would be- come of the constitutional provision that if a bill were not returned by the President within ten days without his objections thereto it be- came a law, The form of the resolution was changed so as to make it a concurrent resolution, and, as such, it was agreed to. EVASION OF THE ANTI-CHINESE LAWS, Mr. Wilson (Iowa) offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the arrival and departure of Chinese at and from the port of San Francisco and as to the evasion or failure of the anti-Chinese laws. Mr. Edmunds moved that the Senate proceed to executive business, MR, INGALLS WANTS INFORMATION. Mr. Ingalis remarked that he had heard an intimation that there was some understanding or agreement by which, in case of the Senate sitting tomorrow, the day should be devoted to the calendar under rule 8, and he asked for information on that point. Mr. Edmunds stated that at a conference of his political friends it had been agreed, and the agreement had been approved by some of the Senators on the democratic sid@, that Satur- days should be devoted to calendar under rule 8, 80 as to clear up the small matters of local and private interest, TOMORROW'S PROGRAM. It was then arranged that Mr, Dolph should address the Senate tomorrow on Mr. Voorhees’ resolution as to agricultural depression and that the rest of the day should be devoted to the calendar, EXECUTIVE SESSION.

The Terrors of a Tornado. ——— A FEARFUL NIGHT. Louisville the Scene of Disaster. A SWATH OF DEATH. Fight Hundred Lives Said to be Lost. —=_—- IT CAME IN A FLASH. Hundreds of Buildings Razed to the Ground. THE TORNADO’S WRATH. Hundreds Killed and Thousands of Houses Leveled to the Ground. Loursvinxe, Ky., March 28.—A tornado struck Louisville at 7:30 o'clock last night. It entered the southeastern portion of the city at 18th street and swept a path five blocks wide diag- onally reaching in a ragged line to 7th street, leveling every building in its path, probably 2,500 houses, A rough estimate puts the killed at five hundred, with thousands injured. The city is filled with a crazed mass of people wildly seeking friends, A large force of men is at work on the ruins and about one hundred bodies have been recovered. It is impossible to get names, Buildings on Main street from 8th to 14th streets are in ruins, not one of the handsome wholesale houses being left and all the tobacco warehonses swept away. On Market street Falls City Hall, a four-story building, was prostrated while several Masonic and Knights of Honor lodges were in session, and one hundred people, men and women, are buried in the ruins, Every other house on Market and Jefferson and Walnut from 10th to 16th streets isin ruins, Parkland, a suburb, is swept away. At the Union depot, at the foot of 7th street, the Chesapeake and Ohio train for Washington was just starting, out filled with passengers, The building was prostrated, crashing in on the train. Ali the passengers were, however, rescued but one newsboy. THE DISASTER OF THE CENTURY, Such desolation no city has known in this century. Every building, tree and every tele- graph pole is leveled within the district struck. The cyclone was predicted by the Signal Service bulletin yesterday afternoon, but no heed was paid to its warning. The cyclone came with scarcely a warning sound and in all the buildings struck the inhabitants were engaged in their usual avocations without an effort to escape when their homes collapsed. The dis- trict laid waste comprises an area of the city three miles long and nearly half a mile wide. Among those whose bodies have been identi- fied are Mrs. May Hodges, Louis Simmons and four children, George Foster and clerk, Ben Randolph, Mra. James Rock, Peter Grumley, Mrs, Harrison, Mrs. Buffet, Chris, Miller, Mr. Lanton, Mrs, Adam Mills, Mrs. Charles Has- som, Rev. N. Barnel, pastor of St. James Epis- copal Church, and one child, Fifteen uniden- tified bodies are lying ina heap at the Falls ‘City Hall. Other heaps are all over the city. Many bodies were carried away by friends and are impossible to reach. The cyclone crossed the river, striking Jeffer- sonville, Ind., badly wrecking Front street, which is on the river front, but no lives were lost, Hundreds of wounded have been taken to their homes and the hospitals. All of the phy- sicians in the city are engaged in attending them, At8 o'clock seven fires were burning. They were all extinguished, No trains had arrived from Cincinnati, Lexington or the south on the Louisville and Nashville or the Chesapeake and Ohio last night, All the rail- roads with the exception of the Pennsylvania lines are compelled to suspend operations, ESTIMATED EIGHT HUNDRED LIvEs Lost, Ixpraxarou, Ixp., March 28—W. M. Rob- ertaon of this city, a conductor of the Jefferson- ville, Madison and Indianapolis road, left Louis- ville about 9 o'clock, and, by bringing his train in over the Ohio an’ Mississippi tracks, avoided the obstruction on his own road, which was caused by a tree blowing across the track, and got his train into Indianapolis at 3:15 thismorn- ing. He gives graphic story of the main points of the disaster and says that in all prob- ability fully 800 lives have been lost, Mr. Rob- ertaon says he was at supper in the Metropoli- tan Hotel at exactly 8 o'clock, when there was a crashing and roaring on the outside, and all the diners made a rush for the street. Once there they were confronted by additional ter- rors, for the air was full of flying bricks and signs and roofs, and, to add to the horrors of the occasion, everything was inky darkness. "| But only for a minute, The roaring, crash- ing sound seemed to pass on into the darkness, and in the track left by it there sprang up in every direction long spouts of flame, by which ‘the scene could be examined, Then, from the ‘masses of ruins which the flames lighted up, came shrieks and sobs and moans, The confusion caused by the tornado was soon succeeded by that of people running to and fro, wagons and fire engines rumbling over the debris with which the streets were strewn. For atime everybody seemed paral- yzed with fear and apparently in doubt whether to flee or wait for whatever the fates had in store for them. The work of rescue was at once begun and along that part of the townin which Mr. Robertson was the side- walks were soon piled high with crushed and mangled, wounded and dead victims of the storm's wrath. Wagons of all kinds were pressed into service and the dead and wounded were hauled as rapidly as the darkness and the confused condition of the streets would permit to the houses outside the path of the tornado, FIRE ADDS TO THE TERROR. While Mr, Robertson remained in the town but an hour after the storm struck it, and con- sequently had but a very limited opportunity for observation, what he saw is sufficient to show that when the full extent of the catastro- phe is known it will be one of the worst in the nation’s history, The storm came from the southwest and seems to have been a veritable tornado, The force of the wind was hardly felt above the Galt House, but below that, so far as could be seen by the light of the blazing ruins, everything was laid flat on the earth, The fires that were known to be burning when Mr. Robertson left were as follows: On 14th street at 8th and Main streets, on Jefferson above 12th, on Walnut between 7th and 8th, a big foundry on 14th street and the Kentucky flouring mills, The Falls City Hall, in which two or three secret societies were holding meetings, was laid flaton the ground. In the main hall a dance was in progress at the time, and it is believed that fully three hundred lost their lives in this building alone. The sheds at the 7th street depot were blown down, coy- ering the Louisville and Southern trains which were made up and injuring large numbers of people, Street cars were blown from their tracks in many cases and crushed against the walls of buildings, and before Mr. Robertson left a large number of wounded who had re- ceived their injuries in this way were already reported, A PITIFUL SCENE. When the fire broke out in the ruins on 7th street a man, his wife and little girl were seen wedged under the debris, and although they shrieked and moaned and the spectators made herculean efforts to release them from their position, it was impossible, and they slowly burned to death in the presence of helpless hundreds. None of those who came through on the Jef- fersonville, Madison and Indianapolis train could estimate the extent of the disaster in the time given them for observation, but every- where that a fire served as a beacon light everything seemed to be swept clean. In the streets through which the passengers went to reach the depot there were dead and dying, and from known facts and floating rumors there was reason to believe that the number of dead would reach fully 1,000, The gas works and electric light plants were wrecked and the city is in absolute darkness. From the conduct of the fire department it is thought that the water works have also been wrecked and that there was difficulty in get- ting water to play on the fires, which, as the train pulled out, were springing up in all{direc- tions. The rain soon ceased and tho full horror of the situation became apparent. On every side could be heard the groans of the dying, and all around lay the mangled bodies of the dead. Scores of bodies were removed from the ruins and the wounded men were taken to the homes of those who had escaped the calamity and given every possible attention, but many have doubtless dieG through lack of proper medical attendance. In the business district the havoc was terri- ble, Stores that had been considered substan- tial were demolished in an instant. The cy, clone entered the town from the south and west, sweeping everything before it. Small barns and out buildings were caught up by the wind and carried with crushing force against larger structures. Trees were twisted off short and hurled long distanees, Fences were leveled in the country for miles before the cyclone reached Metropolis and for miles beyond. Every church and other prominent buildings in the place is either destroyed or badly damaged, in- cluding two school houses, the court house and jail and many smaller structures, TRE DEATH List.

Lovisvitte, Ky., March 28—Between 8 ana 9 o'clock last night a tornado struck this city from the southwest, passing northeastward and leaving death and destruction everywhere. Outside of the clearly defined limits the citizens knew only of a heary rain acdome panied by @ high wind. Soon came the alarm of fire from different tae tions and the horrors of the calamity began t@ dawn on the people. Houses, halls of amuses ment, railroad stations, all went down before the mighty powers of the air, The storm soom passed on, the clouds scattered and the moog cast its light over a sorely stricken city, Relief parties were soon organized; the whole force of the fire department was at work, At this writing no definite statement can be made of the loss of life, but it is large. It is impose sible that so wide a sweep of territory, cove ered with ruined homes, with wreck of halls and buildings of every character, doce not contain many dead. Enough is known, to show that Louisville has been visited by @ most appalling calamity, The wrecked of the city h between 18th, Broadway, 7tt and Main ‘streets, The destroying elemente passing diagonally across the section, which ia robably a mile square, At least two hundred, houses are in ruins, Probably the greatest loss of life ocenrred at the Falls City Hall, which was in the center of the tornado. In the lower rooms of the hall were 50 or 75 children with their mothers and other relatives taking dancing There were at least 125 persons om the lower floors and % more attending a lodge mecting on the upper floor when the terrible wind swooped down the building. The entire structure in less than five minutes was ashapeless mass of brick and mortar, burying two hundred helpless victims, of which number few escaped uninjured. Con- servative estimates place the loss of life at thie place at 100, while reports indicate the number hearer 20), At3 o'clock this morning thirty- five bodies had been taken from this ruin an fifteen wounded and dying. Only those on the third floor had been reached, the room contain- ing the dancing school pupils and visitors no} yet being opened. ANOTHER ESTIMATE, Lovisvinie, March 28—The central and western partof the city are badly wrecked, The indications are that the loss of life is from 250 to 300. About 400 business houses have been destroyed on Main, Market, Jeffers son and Walnut streets from 10th to 16th strects. The city wires on Main and West Market streets are in bad condition aud there is no outlet from the main office as yet, ‘The only communication at present is from the Pennsylvania depot to Indianapolis, ‘The tele- graph company is hurrying men and material to Louisville from ali directions as rapidly a@ possible, FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. New York, March 28.—Tho Western Union Telegraph Company furnishes the following dispatch from Louisville, K, ‘The central and western parts of the city are badly wrecked. Portiand, a suburb, has been swept away, The indications are that the loss of lifa is from 250 to 300, About 400 business houses have been destroyed op Main, Market, Jeffers son and Walnut streets from 10th street to 16tla street, The city wires on Main and West Mars ket streets are in very bad condition, and there is no ontlet from the main office as yet. The only communication at present is from the Pennsylvania depot to Indianapolis. The tele- graph company 1s hurrying men and material to Louisville from all directions as rapidly ag possible. OTHER PLACES DEVASTATED Bowling Green Completely Wiped Out With Great Loss of Life. Crxctxxatt, Onto, March 28, 4 am.—Late dispatches state that the tornado struck the town of Bowling Green, Warren county, Ky., and completely wiped it out, All the wires are down, no detailed report conld be got, and but the meager fact that the calamity had occurred has been received. Bowling Green has a popniation of between 5,000 and 8,000 inhabitants and the loss of life is conjectured to be correspondingly large. The ill-starred town was directly in the path of the tornado as traced on the map and the ree port beyond doubt is true, Meager information from Jeffersonville is te the effect that that little town was completely wrecked by the tornado, It is impossil to get definite information, as the wires are all down and boats cannot cross the Ohio. The water works, two miles above Louisville, were wrecked. ‘Thirty-five bodies, mostiy women and children, have been taken from the ruins of Falls City Hall. It is im H to get names. Henry Mason, member of the legislature from Hancock county, was in Vir- gil Wright's cigar store lighting a cigar wheq the building fell, killing him. AN ILLINOIS TOWN VISITED, Metropolis Loses Scores of Lives an@ the Town is Wrecked, Curcaco, March 28.—A special from Metrope olis, Ii, says: The cyclone of last night cut @ clean swath about a quarter of a mile wide clear across the town, wrecking property of all dee scriptions and burying men, women and chile anything like accuracy, but it is reported that several hundred people were killed or wounded, Between two and three hundred houses were swept from their foundations and dashed te pieces above the heads of their unfortunate oc~ cupants. The storm was past ina moment an@ then came a blinding rain, which greatly re« tarded the work of rescue. People outside the path of the storm were quickly on the street and as fast as possible the victims were take from the ruins, —_—____ Prohibition tor Africa.
