CYCLONE IN MINNESOTA Two Killed and Five Others Injured by the Storm. wes of Reno and Lowrey Suffer Severely From the Fary of the Gale. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 7.—A Glenwood, Minn., specal to the Pioneer Press says: A destructive cyclone passed through the town of Reno yesterday afternoon about 2 o'cleck. It started about a mile southeast of the village of Lowrey, destroying the barn and part of the home of Iver Liegen. Every building in the village of Lowrey was injured, seven dwelling houses, depot, chureh, elevator and butcher shop being totally destroyed, while the railroad tfacks were twisted and the telegraph wires torn down and part of a mill was carried away. From Lowrey the storm continued in a northeasterly direction to the farm of Rob- ert Peacock, where it made a clean sweep of all the buildings. Mrs. Peacock, her daughter, Nettie, and a boy named Robert MacGowan were in the house, which was carried about twenty rods. All were in- Jured, but will probably recover. ‘The next point of damage in the path of the storm was the farm of Thomas An- drews, where the family took refuge in the cellar and escaped with bruises. All his farm buildings, including a new brick house, are a total wreck. From there the cyclone moved about due east to Sam Morrow's, where it left deatn in its path. The family were preparing to enter the cellar when the storm struck, sweeping every vestige of the building from the foundatio: carrying the inmates sev- eral rods back in the direction from whicn the stort All the other buildings were likewise scattered to the four winds. Of the femily of seven Sam Morrow died within an hour after the catastrophe, being horribly bruised and mangled. A nine-year-old daughter, Annie, was found dead by the rescuing party. The in- juries of the other five were: Mrs. Morrow, sc: cut, back injured, badly bruised; recov doubtful. Alfred Morrow, fcurteen years old, bruised. Oswald Morrow, eleven years, leg broken. Minnie Morrow, arm broken. Baby, severely bruised. A large sjlinter was taken from the back of Lavan, red man, who has a broken ankle. He may die.

RAILROAD TRAFFIC PARALYZED. Heavy Rains in Vi St. Paul Causes Numerous Washouts. ST. CLOUD, Minn., Ju —Last night’s storm has paralyzed railroad traffic. came so suddenly and raged so fierc: that many trains ran into washouts without having any intimation of danger. There was a bad wreck on the Great Northern, eight miies west of here, where an extra freight with engine and twenty cars was ditched.

Should Have Heached Saturday, LONDON, July 7.—The London agents of the North German Lloyd Steamship Com- pany are still without news of the steamer Spree, which was due to arrive at Cher- beurg on Sunday last from New York, but they do not think there is yet any cause for anxiety. The British steamer Floridian, Captain Bullock, from Galveston for Liverpool, passed Brow Head at 10:40 o'clock this morning, having in tow the Cunard Line steamer Cephanelonia, Captain Pierce, from Boston, June 26, for Liverpool.

Sprigg in Search of Recrea- tion and Information—Prominent in Y. M. C. A. Circles. William G. Sprigg of Capt Town, South Africa, was in Washington today, visiting the points of interest. Mr. Sprigg is gen- eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Cape Town, and honorable secretary of the South African council of the Y. M. C. A. He is a young man, not over thirty years of age and a native of Melbourne, Australia, but has resided in Africa for about eight years. He is a nephew of Right Honora- ble Sir Gordon Sprigg, prime minister of Cape Colony. Mr. Sprigg is making a trip around the world, and incidentally examining the workings of the Y. M. C. A., in which he is greatly interested. He left Africa the middle of April, and went through Eng- land, Scotland and Ireland. He attended the queen’s jubilee celebration and arrived in New York from Southampton last Sat- urday. He remained in the metropolis un- til last night, and came direct to Washing- ton. From here Mr. Sprigg will make a trip through the west, stopping in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Omaha, Salt Lake and other cities, until he reaches San Francisco. He will visit the Y. M. C. A. headquarters in each of the cities named. From San Fran- cisco Mr. Sprigg will sail for Australia, and return thence to Africa, after having been away for about six months. The cost of the trip is defrayed by himself, and he estimates that he will finish with about £200. A Typical Briton. The ‘visitor is a typical Englishman, tall and broad shouldered. He is greatly pleas- ed with his experiences in this country so far, and especially in regard to the opera- tions of the Y. M. C. A. Speaking to The Star reporter, he sat “I was immensely delighted with the manner in which the Y. M. C. A. is con- ducted in New York, especially in the West Side branch. I had never dreamed of any such a complete organization, and had my eyes opened in this respect. The details are as fine as could be possible. It is a large branch, too, by the way, but is ad- mirably managed. “Of course the Y. M. C. A. in Africa is comparatively new. The association is con- ducted on much the same lines there as it is here, with the only difference that the organization here {s so much more com- plete. We have about 750 members in Cape Town, which is a city of between seventy and eighty thousand inhabitants. The branches for the natives are distinct from those to which the foreign residents be- long. "Thad my eyes opened when I arrived in New York. I had never witnessed such a bustle and drive among people before, and it delighted me. I suppose there is no city in the world equal to New York in that respect. Everything was hurry without confusion, and bustle without worry. “Broadway was the greatest street I ever saw. A view of it affords the finest sight I ever cast my eyes upon. I shall not forget it. Impression of Washington. “Washington strikes mé as being one of the handsomest cities in the world. I new saw such fine buildings—public ones, I mean. I have been feasting my eyes upon them ever since I arrived. Then the magnificent. avenues are not to be sur- passed, if equaled, anywhere. “What pleased me more than anything else is the democratic spirit which 1 have noticed evident ever since I arrived in this AROUND THE WORLD country, and particularly in Washington. I am a democrat myself, as most colonials are, and such a spirit 1s exactly in Ine with my own views. “I have been amazed at the way In which I have been allowed to enter the public buildings and offices here without question. Such a thing is not permitted in England. ‘There orders have to be secured and a lot of red tape cut off before permission is granted. Here is the White House, for in- stance, the residence of the head of the country. Anybody who wishes to do so can visit it without trouble. One can feel in the very air that everything belongs to the people. It is a splendid thing. The Queen’s Jubilee. “I witnessed the jubilee celebration and was greatly impressed with all the. features. By far the most popular of them, in the great procession, outside of the appearance of the queen herself, was the colonial por- tion—that made up of representatives of the different British possessions. The general military aspect of the eae ‘was magnifi- cent. That the queen most popular was shown by the manrer in which her appear- ance’along the line of route was greeted, It_was a great and ae er 3 display.” Mr. Sprigg stated that he was pleased with what he had seen of the administra- tion of the local Y. M. ©. A. and said he trusted that the new building would soon be erected. Secret —_—__— Petition. for Trustees. Jonathan G. Bigelow today filed a ‘} equity against Mary A. Tune and praying for the appointment of a {in place of the late Wm. H. _ lainant is represented by Attorney JAPAN AND GOLD STANDARD Senator Pettigrew Predicts Buin for the Agricultural Classes. Change Made, He Says, in the Inter- ests of the Creditor Class—Cur- rency Legint Senator Pettigrew togay presented in the Senate a statement, prepared by himself, giving Japan’s reasoni: for'adopting the gold standard, togethér with translations of the new currency law of that country, the speech of Minister of ‘Finance Mat. sukata in presenting ‘this ‘neasure, and the report of the Japafiese éurrency com- mission. te In his statement Senator Pettigrew traces the financial history of Japan, show- ing that, while that country adopted the gold standard in 1871; it ¢Stablished bi- metallism five years after (in 1876), which financial system was maintained until the present year, when there was a return to the gold standard, by reducing the weight of the gold yen to 11.674 grains, or one-half the amount necessary to constitute a gold yen before the last change was made, Referring to the controversy as to the reasons which induced Japan to make the recent change to the gold standard, Mr. Pettigrew says that from a careful reading of the speech of Count Matsukata in pre- senting the measure he is convinced that the gold standard has been adopted entire- ly In the interests of the creditor classes of Japan, and for the purpose of prevent- ing a further decline in: the purchasing power of their credits. The senator also advances the idea that the manufacturing classes have been induced to accept the change by the argument that it would crystallize the advantage Japan already has over gold-using countries as a result of the appreciation of gold in the past, and thus perpetuate and make certain her ad- vantage in the future. He says that the feudal aristocracy of Japan are the moneyed men of the empire, and that, owing to the fact that they aré also the ruling class, they are enabled to perpetuate their power and dictate the affairs of the nation. “In order to make their bonds more valu- able in 1876,” he says, “the Japanese gov- ernment, at the instigation of the bond- holders, adopted the national banking sys- tem of the United States. Their bonds were used as a basis for circulation, and the creditor classes became the bankers of the kingdom. In 1882, when the present Bank of Japan was established, these bondholders became the subscribers of this stock and their bonds were used as security for the circulation of paper money.” Continuing, Senator Pettigrew says that since the Chinese war prices have risen about 30 per cent, and the creditor classes have become alarmed because of the gen- eral adoption of the gold standard. He says the power and influence of the creditor classes in Japan have been greatly en- hanced by the debt incurred as a result of the war, the situation thus presenting many features similar to that which induced Germany, in 1873, England, in 1816, and the United States, in 1873, to adopt the gold standard. “In every instance,” the senator says, “the producers of wealth are not consid- ered. It is true, the minister of finance in Japan argued that the rise in price would cut off exports from Japan, and therefore the manufacturing classes were interested, but he makes no argument which appeals to the farming classes, notwithstanding that farming is the paramount industry of Japan.” Senator Pettigrew concludes that the re- sult of this recent step on the, part of Ja- pan must be the same there as elsewhere, saying: “It cannot help but result in the further appreciation of gold and a cor- responding apparent. decline in the value of silver, as well as a decling in the gold price of all products, which will check Ja- pan’s wonderful industfial prosperity and transfer her industries, to China if China remains upon a silver pasis.,, Already,” he continues, “gold has risen {a value suffi- client to make a profit in exporting it from Japan, and a slight percentage of advan- tage in manufacturing all kinds of goods in China over the marjufacture of like goods in Japan.” ee He concludes that as @ result Japan will also experience “the same ruin to her ag- ricultural classes that kd resulted to ag- riculture in every gold country in the world.” She seems, he says, to have disregarded absolutely { ie ing of her currency commission. = The ene prints the report od the cur- rency commission, which 8 strong ground against the go!

Had Fits. Cora Walden, colored, a prisoner today at the Police Court, suffered a series of epileptic fits while in one of the cella. The stfaggles, of the unfortunate woman STATIONKEEPER ON TRIAL W. H. F. Allen, of Precinct No. 1, Accused by Reporters. The Taking of Evidence Begun Today Allen to Make a Statement in His Own Behalf. Stationkeeper W. H. F. Allen, who does night duty at the first precinct police sta- ticn, was before the police trial board to- day on charges preferred by two news- paper reporters, Joseph E. O’Brien of the Pcst and Webster Ballenger of the Syra- cvse Standard. In the latter case Mr. Bal- lenger filed a letter setting forth grounds of complaint against the stationkeeper. He was arrested on a warrant, he said, and was searched at the station and locked up. His complaint is that he was not afforded the proper facilities for communicating with his friends, and he was kept in a damp cell all night. This case will be heard tomorrow, while the other complaint was heard today. Reporter O'Brien told his story to the members of the board. About 2:30 o'clock on the morning of June 24 he was seated behind the rail at the station, playing with two erasers, one of rubber and one of steel, when, he said, the stationkeeper blated out, in an insolent tone: “O'Brien, haven’t you any better sense than to sit there and cut that eraser in that way?” O'Brien Refused. A conversation about the eraser and the stationkeeper’s question followed, and O'Brien refused to put down the erasers be- cause of the stationkeeper’s manner. “Put them down or go out,” was what Allen said, and O’Brien retorted: “I won't until you ask me in a proper manner.” Allen thereupon seized him and hustled him out of the chair with considerable vio- lence, O’Brien said, and he added that he afterward told Allen that his actions were those of a “‘d— cur” rather than those of a gentleman, Then Allen wanted him to leave the station, which he refused to do, and said he would only go if put out. Al- len promptly adopted his suggestion and ejected him from the station. The complamant said the rubber eraser was old and worthless, and, besides, he was not cutting it. He had toyed with the erasers a hundred times before, and noth- ing had ever been said to him. Does Other Work. “Probably Mr. Allen didn’t know you had been in the habit of playing with edged tools?” queried Captain Austin. The reporter charged that, in addition to treating him in the manner stated, Allen did not devote his entire attention to the duties of stationkeeper. He said he had seen him prepare articles for the Times, but the articles were not about police busi- ness. “Do you know that he ever neglected his duties?” “No, sir.”” ‘Then, as I understand your evidence, said a member of the board, “you are not injured, except in yor feelings?” “No, sir,” answered the reporter. An Explanation. Two other reporters were called, and the defendant will tomcrrow make a statement in his own behalf. He says he spoke to the reporter because he wanted to protect the government's property. What he did was dome in the line of duty. Other witnesses were then examined. The matter will be regularly reported, and the charges will be disposed of by the Commissioners later. See Thanked Both. Joseph O'Donnell was in the Police Court today, because he was drunk and very disorderly last evening. When searched, a razor was found in his possession. © “I made an old fool of myself,” admit- ted Joseph, as he took the stand. “I en- listed in the army in 1848, as the troops were coming from Mexico. Yesterday I got a pass to leave the Soldiers’ Home and &0 to Philadelphia. I took a drink, and that, with the heat, was too much for me.” “How about the razor?” inquired the court. “I had that to shave with,” was the an- swer; “and here's the soap. “Will you depart for Philadelphia at or ce if I give you the chance?’ then ssked Judge Kimball. “Yes, sir,” promised the old soldier, with emphasis. ““WeH, xo." “Thank your honor and thank God,” re- marked Joseph fervently, as he passed out.

Williams Held for Action of the Grand Jury, Samuel P. Williams, alias C.-J. Dowling, @ young man arrested yesterday, charged with forging the name of Senator William E. Mason of Illinois to an application for two passes to New York and return, ad- dressed to the general manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was held today for the action of the grand jury in $1,000 bonds by Judge Kimball. Attorney Campbell Carrington represented the Ge. fendant, while Assistant District Attorney Mullowny appeared for the government. Senator Mason was the first witness called to the stand. “I move that we go into executive ses- sion, your honor,” stated Attorney Car- rington. “I desire that the witnesses be separated.” “Shall we adopt the rule of secrecy inquired Senator Mason. “Yes,” replied Attorney Carrington; “and I trust we shall not encounter any contu- macious witnesses.” Senator Mason, after saying that he had never before seen Williams, was asked whether or not he-had written and signed the application for the passes. “Can you read your own writing?” in- quired Attorney Carrington, as he handed over the paper. “Ordinarily,” replied Senator Mason: “I know of some senators who cannot,” remarked the attorney. Senator Mason testified that the letter of application was a forgery.e A. H. Washburn, private secretary to Senator Lodge, stated under oath that the handwriting of the application was that of Williams. Capitol Policemen Joyce and Sinott told of the sending of a decoy letter to the Maltby House, and of it being claimed by Williams. “He told me he lived at No. 1126 11th street,” added Policeman Joyce, “and I find that the number does not exist. He also said that he has not been employed for two years.” “In view of the pending strike,” re- marked Attorney Carrington, aside to the reporters, “if I could prove my client was a coal miner I would be all right.” . William R. Blackford, in charge of the Senate mail, stated that Williams had sev- eral times inquired of him for mail for R. Logan Andrews. The application requested that the passes be sent to Andrews, and the decoy letter was addressed in that name. * Attorney Carrington raised the point that the charge of forgery could not be sus- tained, for the reason that the handwrit- of the application did not resemble that of Senator Mason; that nothing of value had been secured, and that no more reason exists why the railroad company should issue a pass to Senator Mason than to a person in the ordinary walks of life. Judge Kimball considered that a prima facie case had been made out, and took the action stated. des. sie sporeleeels Niwas. For Caan _ Home, gece Mt Bene, GonveLb PARK. FINANCIAL.
