Probably Fifty Lost Their Lives and the In- jured Number Hundreds. Mnexzarouis, Mixx., Jane 17.—News of the Feyclone which devastated southern Minnesota ‘Wednesday evening is very hard to get. ‘Tele- graph wires aredown for miles and the rail- roads which penetrate the stricken section are iy ut a standstill. All the information obtainable comes from the isolated survivors of the storm, and the facts have to be gathered ‘from widely separated points. From all the | reach fifty and the list of the injured will | run into the hundreds. No estimate of the Property Joss can be made and all that can be | said of it is that it will undoubtedly run into seven DAMAGE AT WELLS. The town of Wells, in Faribault county, seems to have suffered most severely from the storm. It is reported that fifty persons were killed in | that village alone, but these reporis are prob- ably e: rated. led these have been identified: John Brown and wife at Linden; Andrew Hansen, < twenty-two, killed near Hartland; Mrs. ike Iverson and threo children, —— Stern, | child of J. Stern; two children of John Yonkers | four miles north of Fairmont; Peter Bremer, —— Fredericks, Jobn Latusick, —— Lighten- berger. a child; Frank Pitrons,@ boy. Following are the names of the injured so! far as learned at Wells: Brown, deughter of John; Mrs. Albert Crayther, John Della and wife,Herman Dragen, arm broken; Gray, leg broken; Hiller, son of Herman, bad! ; August Hoensy, head crushed; Kitngbiel, three children of ‘Albert Klingbiel; Charles Melchart, badly crushed; Mrs. Henry Melchgrt, Agnus Morey, school teacher, badly crushed. This jist does not include oné-fourth of all the injured. A WITXESS" DESCRIPTION. The storm is described bya witness as a cloud | of midnight blackness and was a boiling, seeth- ing mass, going in an easterly direction. At Spring Valley damage ting $50,000 was dove. "Large, heavy black clouds came up in the west about 7 o'clock, gathering thick an: fast, when without warning the heavens broke | loose with constant lightning and heavy peals | of thunder. The rain came down in tortents with but little wind accompanying it. Spring Valley creck was quickly swelled to its utmost. Then the bursting of @ heavy cloud about 9 o'clock made the little stream a raging torrent, raising it to five or six feet above the highest | mark it ever reached, carrying everything in | the way before it. Citizens turned out and set | to work saving property and people from the | path of the raging torrents. LIFTED A HOUSE. The first damage done was that of lifting the house occupied by a Mr. McDuggnn and carry- ing it down against the son bridge, demolish- everything in it, and Mra.

The afternoon bad been sultry and dense, overhanging clouds seemed almost to touch the | ground, while not « breath of air stirred. Later a heavy downpour of rain set in, and at about 5:30 o'clock, preceded by wind from the north. west, a huge funnel-shaped cloud was noticed | by people living west of Wells. It advanced | rapidly with a loud, roaring. grinding sound, | and first touched the earth near Juckson, two miles west of Sherburne. The Silver Thorn school house, four miles north of Sherburne, was torn to pieces by the cyclone. Miss Maggie Hare, the teacher, and all the pepile, sixteen | in number, were seriously, and six perhaps fatally, injured. Medical aid was promptly on hand and the wounded cared for. Several people-at work in the fields were struck and more or less injured. August Filberry was caught up and carried about sizty yards, but was not seriously injured. ‘The little village of Easton was next visited lished.

At one place where the cyclone struck eight houses in succession were destroyed, and at an- other the place was eo completely washed off the face of the earth that no trace of it or ite occupants could be found, though search was Scores of people received wounds, and as most of them were in the country they suf- | fered untold tortures throngi: the ey posure to the cold winds and rain and luck of surgical | attendance. ‘The storm will entail great hard- | ehip upon those who lost their ail, although crops are not injured. Four niles north of Wells the storm raged in unrestrained fury. The body of the cyclone moved from west to east and witnesses say that their first impression of a storm was a terrible funnel-shaped cloud coming down upon them. } Then came a feeling of oppression in the bl making it almost impossible to breathe. The next moment, in its full Zorce and fury. came the twister, completely demolishing everything | in ite path.

The rest escaped with bad bruises. | ‘The barns and stock were completely carried | eway. The granary, full of oate, was lifted | from the ground and about ten rods away most | of the oats were dropped on the ground. } The next place, Anthony Malcher!’s, the wife | and a little girl were at home and after the | storm the wife was found in the grove clinging | to « tree with one hand and hanging on to the little girl with the other.

Brass Bands and Leather-Lunged Shouters Not Yet on the Field. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Cuicaco, June 17.—The brass bands and the badge-bearing brigades have not yet invested has hardly as yet begun to make an impression on the windy city. Some of the dele- gates, a number of hangers on and'}few of the earliest workers are on hand. The slow coming together does not, however, indicate that the convention is going to be dull or in any way lacking in interest. The discus- sion opens up with ‘Cleveland against all comers,” which sounds better than when reversed, so as to read: “All comers against Cleveland.” The grand championship contest has for ita preliminary the wrestling match which is just now on between the two factions from New York. The representatives of these New York factions are the first on the grounds, and with even as few as there are of them here there is such a demonstration of feeling as to indicate a disposition to eat each other up rather than to make a mere test of strength. The avowed object of the “‘anti-snap” New Yorkers, as they are termed, is with grand de- corum and the manner of eminent respecta- bility to impress the delegates from other | P: statec and convince them that the regu- lar New York delegation does not rep- resent the sentiments of the democrats of | £'% that state. Tammanyites, the Hillites and the great unwashed apparently do not propose to have the thing conducted in this elegant dress suit style, and they have already begun to force the fighting by the denunciation of the whole Cleveland democracy of New York as mug-| % wumps. ‘The two statements given ont last night—one by ex-Secretary Fairchild and the other by Edward Murphy, jr.—open up the light and show the difference of method and manner of conducting the contest. : Mr. Fairchild and his followers want to con- duct the affair with calmness and no unneces- sary friction, while it is made evident by Mr. Murphy that the regulars propose to have no “gentle fighting.” There are not enough peo- ple here yet to give any positive drift to the situation. CLEVELAND FAR IN THE LEAD. It may be said that at the start Mr. Cleveland is far in the lead of everybody. If a majority could nominate he would have the nomination surely. His friends profess to believe that there will be difficulty about his getting the necessary two-thirds on the first ballot, | yet the weakness of Mr. Cleveland's position is to start with, of course, the fuct that | it takes such a small number of votes to pre- vent a nomination, and that the regular New York delegates, supported by an organization representing an immense number of the demo- crats of the state, insist that he can’t carry New | York and warn the southern delegates that if | ¥, they nominate him they will insure republican victory and run the risk of the force bill. ‘This opposition is stronger from the fact that that of any other man, but who have become convinced that he cannot carry New York and are therefore advising against his nomination. Another danger to Mr. Cleveland is that his Cleveland men who are favorite ones, and it may prove too easy to convince them that their efforts on behalf of the ex-President are useless. It may be the more easy to impress this upon them when each considers that he may get the Hill support at any time to beat Cleveland, and that the same chance is opened to some others who may get abe! of him if he delays too long. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. ‘The temporary organization of the conven- tion will, in all probability, be made by “the anti-Cleveland folks, as the national committee who will select the temporary chairman is on that side, but they will endeavor not to make | the anti-Cleveland character of the selec. tion too conspicuous, No one questions that the permanent chairman and the committee on credentials will be pro-Cleveland, and it is not believed that the Cleveland people will have the power or will make any serious attempt to seat the May convention delegates from New York. There are many delegates who will vote for Cleveland, but who will not vote to over- turn the regular organization in New York. > BUNKER HILL DAY. Sports.

IF CARLISLE, GRAY AND PALNER ARE NOT VOTED FOR THE EX-PRESIDENT WILL HAVE ‘TWO-THIRDS OF THE DELEGATES, OR IF BOIES ‘WITEDRAWS—4 TABLE. . It is within the bounds of possibility that Cleveland may be nominsted on the first ballot ‘st Chicago, but even conservative Cleveland men do not now look for such aresult. To bring it about all other candidates, with the ex- ception of Hill and Boies, will have to be elimi- nated from thecalculations. Itis possible that the Cleveland managers at Chicago may be able to so impress the delegates from states having favorite sons with the belief that Cleveland must eventually win that they will refrain will throw their votes to the ex- from the start. These states are In- Ilinois and Kentucky. Pennsylvania ‘a favorite son in Gov. Pattison, who is of in- t he may But jor Cleve- if they believe their man ince of finally securing the first place , and if the vote of Indiana ia given solidly to Cleveland it will nominate him. "But is not believed any of the Indiana delegates really believe Gray's nomination for the ‘rst place possible, w getting second place are good in case Cleveland ts first place. In view of this fact it would not be an unlikely thing for the Gray men to turn in with the Cleveland men of their dele- KENTTCKY AND CARLISLE. In Kentucky if Senator Carlisle consents to the use of his name the solid twenty-six votes will go for him. As Representative Caruth put it yesterday, “The Kentuckians will vote for Carlisle if they think he has one chance in 100,000 to get the nomination. They will take that one chance and do all fy their power fo win success.” Mr. Caruth said, however, that as he under- stood it there was no certainty yet as to what the Kentucky delegation would decide to do. As it is apparent that Carlisle's nomination cannot be regarded as even remotely ‘obable if his name is presented and is voted for on the first ballot it will be for the pu of preventing Cleveland nomination. To this it is not believed Senator Carlisle will consent. If Carlisle is not voted for on the firet ballot the Kentucky delegation will divide up and Cleveland is conceded at least twelve of the twenty-six. ‘TRE SIGNIFICANCE OF ILLINOIS. The course of the Ilinois delegation will have the utmost significance to the Cleveland inter- ests, The Cleveland men now claim that the entire forty-eight votes of the state will go to the ex-President, but there still appears to be considerable doubt about this, If the delegation divides, it is likely that all but the Morrison men will go to Cleveland, in accordance with the expressed Wish of Senator Palmer. This will give Cleve: land more than a majority of the forty-eight votes, but will leave him short of the 600 he must have to be nominated, even if he gets the solid vote of Indiana and Kentucky. Thus it will be seen‘that to figure out a two- third majority for Cleveland on the first ballot all the conditions will have to be more favor- able than seem at all probable, IOWA MAY DROP ROTES. Another contingency may arise that would be apt to give Cleveland all the votes he needs to nominate on the first ballot. The Iowa people, Recoming convinced before balloting begins, that Boies cannot hope to secure the first place, may be willing to enter __ into an arrangement with Cleveland's friends whereby he will be given their votes in order to insure the second place for Boies. Such an ar- ment as this, it is thought here, would not be difficult to make, ax the Iowa democrats are very strongly inclined toward Cleveland and at heart never expected to secure Boies’ nomine- n. THE FIRST BALLOT. The following table, which has been carefully prepared after consultation with members of Congress from the states whose delegations are | divided and doubtfal, is believed to sccurate idea of give a pretty 5 ane an meee what the strength of the different candidates will be on the first ballot, taking it for granted that neither Gray, Palmer nor Carlisle will be voted for. The probabilities as to their candi- dacy have been explained above: ‘States and Territories. ag ee V2 12 SER oR Ee ote teeeree!

But little for baleen, cond bs interesting discussion of several matters of greater or less local interest. Some attention was paid the Western Maryland railroad billand it was decided to give a hearing to interested | Parties on that measure next Tuesday at 2.30 o'clock. In discussing the Washington and Great Falle bill the fact was disclosed that the House of Representatives had that measure. The bill has been amended in several very important particulars since that print arrived ac the document room. The error was due toa little carelessness on the part of the members of the House committee and as a consequence they seriously delay the enactment of the COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS ON THE LIQUOR QUES- 3108. Commissioner Douglass appeared before the committee and made a lengthy and interesting statement as to the necessity for liquor legisla. tion in the District. He called especial atten- tion to the changed condition of affaire within the Soldiers’ Home mile limit and urged that speedy action be taken to make the pres jent law affecting that reservation available. He presented the draft of a bill which he be- lieved would be a satisfactory piece of legi tion. This the committee turned over to Sen- ator Hunton and he will, as soon as he has con- sulted with other members, report the same to the Senate. FUTURE HEARINGS. On Monday afternoon at 2:30 Senators Mc- Millan, Hansbrough and Harris will hold their conference with the presidents of the various street railways of the District. The Washington and Western Maryland hear- | ing will be held on Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock. On Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 the subcom- mittee will listen to those who want to talk | about the Petworth and Brightwood road. ————— THE ARLINGTON COMPANY. A Statement in Regard to That Railrosd Submitted to Senator McMillan. Senator McMillan has received from the in- corporators of the Washington and Arlington Railroad Company a statement which makes plain the incorporators’ side of the contro- versy over that road. The incorpora- tors claim that they acted in good faith, spent a good deal of money and only turned their ine | terents over to other parties when it was repre- sented that these other parties could and would construct the road. After the approval of the act of incorporation the incorporators proceeded at once to organize the company by complying with every requirement of the law. When the books were opened they individually subscribed for the whole amount of stock required for the purposes of incorporation and paid in cash the. sum mired. After the company had organized, parties of the west who | It is a Bone of Contention in the River and } ference | propriated should be expended until the title of | an early print of | wettled the charge against them by payment of | THE POTOMAC FLATS. Harbor Con! Conference on the river and harbor bill is the conferees has been quite keen because there | was a difference of opinion as to the atnount which should be expended on the Potomac fats. The House also demanded that none of the two hundred thousand dollars it ap- the government to the flats was absolute. When increased to $250,000 and the crippling pro- viso was stricken out. When the conference Teport is made public it will be seen that the House has prevailed as to the amount ($200,000 itatives of the House to join with tion of titles. ‘There will, therefore, be no string to the appropriation.
