) TERRIBLE TORNADOES, They Sweep With Destructive Foroe Over All Sections of the Country, Chicago Visited by a Storm Last Night—All Bastern Connections Cut Off. A Groat Amonnt of Property De- stroyed THE STORM AT CHICAGO, Cuicago, June 20.—About 2 o'clock last night aterrific wind and rain storm burst over this city, which did considerable damage in the way of blowing down houses, unroofing build- ings, uprooting trees, ete. Several horses were struck by lightning and killed. At Austin, a suburban town, the Episcopal church, not yet com- F}cted, was prostrated to the groumt 0 loss of life is reported. There is very little telegraphic communication with the outside world in any direc- tion and tho storm appears to have covered a wide extent of country. The weather last night was sultry, but af- ter the shower it became bright and pleasant, although still rather warm, Last night and this morning the storm was by far the severest of the season. No great damage, except to telegraph lines, is reported within the city limits, but outside trees and buildings of all kinds were prostrated in every direction. The eastern wires of both the Western and American Unien company’s are totally wrecked. Meagre particulars of the storm are ‘brought in by the passengers and train men of the incoming trains, It is re- rted that at Elkhart, Ind., a large rding house was blown down with great loss of life. AT FRANKLIN, N. H FRrANKLIN, June 29, —-A destructive tornado swept over this village yester- day afternoon wlth hail and lightning. ‘Windows were scattered, a multitude of chimneys overturned and_trees and gardens ruined. The path of the storm was two miles wide. The Catholic church was moved six inches from its foundation, causing much damage. AT SPRINGFIELD, 0.

Crref or Muxzco, June 90, Re ports have been meagre regarding the L{orclua accident, as the telegraph was destroyed by the managers for the purpose of suppressing the de- tails. The official announcement of the killed was 192 soldiers, and 13 officers, of the wounded, 28. Later reports, as expected, somewhat increase the number, Heavy rains fell Thursday, with hail Thursday nlght. By order of the war secretary, the third battalion of sol- diers took the train from Cuantala to come to the City of Mexico. The road had been inaugurated the week before by President Gonzales and the third battalion wasone of the regiments takeing part in the inaguration. The train passed Malpois, and two miles beyond, where the bridge was washed away, while the train was at full speed, plunged into the chasm. The engineer and fireman were killed instantly, A large cargo of whisky and alcohol was aboard and caught fire, The car con- taining the soldiers was partly burned. A heavy flood was rushing through the chasm, many were drowned, and others burnt beyond recognition. The night was dark and misty and no help could be obtained. The news was one day in reaching the City of Mexico, fifty miles off. The government is somewhat interested in the read. Great sorrow is prevalent in the city. Crry oF Mexico, June 29.—A. con- cession for the Morelos road was given to Delfin Danchez, a Mexican con- structor, from Mexico to Cuantala, with a subsidy of §8,000 per kilome- tre. The line is a narrow guage, built entirely with this one subven- tion, and has no other backing, It was built by Mexican engineers, and was the first attempt at railroading, The road was cheaply and hu iedly constructed and the cidont was prophesied by com- petent engineers. Public opinion blames Manager Sanchez, who has left the city. The train conductor’s de- fense is that there were no track men to warn him of the danger. It was the intention of the promoters to ex- tend the line to the Pacific at Seeley by means of a government subsid ‘I'he Lunes, the only city paper with- out a goverument subsidy, attacks the government and admnistration, Tt says that some one is to blame, Tt ssails Professor Diaz and calls San- z to account., The Diario, the official government organ, considers the accident beyond human forresight. The road has cost the gov- ernment 8o far $340,000 in subsidies and sixty miles have been built. Pacheco to-day became minis- ter of public works vice Diaz, and ‘ernandez succeeds Pacheco as gov- ernor of the district. The changes are significant. Pacheco and Fernan- dez are reported to be interested in the Morels road and will oversee the investigation, Tt is alleged that the government gave the manager of the Morels road 80,000 to reach Cuantala before July, It ap- pears the road was condemned by the public inspector the day of its in- auguration. There is general indig- nation. A dispatch received to-day reports that Governor Guerrero is missing. It is not known whether he was on the train. Over one hundred ELEVENTH YEAR, bodies have been recovered in a charred and mutilated condition The wounded are in the hospital of San- diego, at Cuantala. . Not so Bad ns at First Reported National Associsted Press, . DexvER, June 29.—The Republican is in roroi\-t of advices from a source considered reliable which greatly re- duces the magnitude of the late In- dian fight. It is to the effect that there were only thirteen Indians and nine cattlemen in the fight. The lat- ter were drawn into an ambush, but only seven were killed and wounded. The Indians then left the place. William May and companions, who were reported missing, have reached the big bend of the Dolores in safety. At last accounts the thirteen Indians engaged in the fight had erossed the Colorado line and were en route to the Unconpaghre agency with squaws and cattle. One squaw 18- reported shot, having received a shot while herding sheep. The Republican adds: ““It is an important fact in estimating the dangers, caused by the late figlt that in none of the reports have the miners appeared as taking a hand in the fight. If there had been a fight that was likely to cause a general out- break, it seems that miners would be sufficiently interested to be among the volunteers.” . EPITOMIZED REPORT.

LoxvoN, June 29.—The London Standard contains an interview, by its New York correspondent, with Gen. Grant on the Irish question, Gen. Grant, speaking as an American citi- zen in reference to the representa- tions made, or to bé made, to the government at Washington, as to the outrages committed in England, and the charge that they were organized in the United States, said that the American people would not stand idly and see preparations for war made by nations or adopted citizens upon nations with which we are at peace. It will de- volve on England to give the authori- ties at Washington evidence that such preparations are made here, and on proof of its correctness it would be the duty of our government to take action for a repression of the schemes. This is the pith of the interview. The correspondent says that Grant re- ceived him with great courtesy and spoke in friendly terms of the present administration in England e Engineers Surveying the Line of a New Railroad.

Viw Youk, June 20,—The North- fic rond, whose line, through a portion of Montana, follows the Yellowstone for some distance, made its preliminary survey along the north Daakof that siver sadfonns it uttarly impossible to grade. It became neces- sary to leave the river or to take the south bank, As the river forms the northern boundry of the Crow reservation it could not be done without the consent of the In- dians. A survey of the route was made and filed yesterday with the secretary of the interior, who was petitioned to call a council of the Crows and get their consent to the proposed incursion. This will be done a8 soon as practicable, and the whole matter will be submitted to congress for ratification next winter, Mr. Henry Velard and several friends will start from here to-morrow to make an excenrsion to St. Paul and the Northern Pacific country. They will visit the whole of the line east ld the Rocky Mountains, . They will _THURSDAY MORNING, . go from St. Paul to Duluth,to Forgus Falls, to Bismarck, and thence the ond of the finished at the Yellowstone river. They will then take horses o wagons and go some distance further, inspect- ing the country. The party leaving here will number aboutseven or cight, mostly the wealthy and plucky men who have backed up_this new Napo leon of railroads, and enabled him to succeed in his great aggressive enter- prise. At Chicago these will be rein forced by three or four others, and, take it all in all; this willbe one of the richest and most influential parties that ever visited the northwest. Mr. Villard has shown so much courage and finesse in this undertaking of his, and has been so uniformly successful i every venture he has ever made that his reputation has risen sudden- ly in Wall street, and his name is al- ready spoken of with those of Jay Gould and Vanderbilt.

WasHINGTON, June 29, —The situ- ation in Virginia is at present one of the most prominent topics of conver- sation here and interestin it is largely kept alive by the delegations that are continually rushing in from that state to give the president “that disinter- ested advice which springs from pure republicanism and friendship for his administration,” as some of them say. Of course this advice is never twice alike and is too often dictated by the political ambition of the parties giv- ing it. The meeting here a day or two since of a large delegation in favor of coalition has re-awakened in- terestin that side of the question, and consequently a number of officials have aired their views upon the sub- ject with considerable freedom, How- ever ill-advised such a step may be, according to General Wickham and Messrs. Dezendorf and Jorgensen, the fact cannot be denied that the majority of prominent govern- ment officials are stron, be- lievers in coalition. They look upon the movement as an opportunity to forward republican prinei- ples, which should, by no means, be allowed by the republican party to ‘io unimproved, Take, for example, the case ot Hon, Greene B. Raum, commissioner of in- ternal revenue. Last year Mr. Raum, hearing that his inspector at Peters- burg, Van Aucken, was inclining to- ward the readjuster party, wrote him a letter telling him that the best in- terests of the republican party could not be subserved by a recognition of the readjuster party,and advising him, if he still inclined that way, to send in his resignation. This year M, Baum is strongly in favor of the coali- tion of republicans and readjusters, He explains his apparent inconsisten- cy by saying that he has progressed, and that while last year the readjuster party looked like a selfish, personal movement on the rt of Mahone. this year he was satisfied that it was a worthy ally of the republican party, and he looked upon the movement as the entering wedge which should split Bourbonism and relieve the state from its hateful rule. There are many other officials who do not speak out in this way who believe this movement to be for the best. Tt is further believed that a majority of the cabinet hold opinions in favor of coalition, and when called upon will 80 advise the president that the move- nfent will be encouraged at his hands, —e Base Hall, National Associated Pross, Burraro, N, Y., June20. —Bufialos 16, Bostons 10, OLEVELAND, O,, lands 5, Worcesters Derrorr, June 29, Detroits b, Cuicaco, June 20.—Chicagos 8, Troy 0.

The Irish Penple Take Lesa Interest in English Politics Than Americans Do. Effect of Irish Independence. By Cable to The New York Telogram Panis, Juno 28, — The Hotel Brigh- ton, once a quict resting place for in- offensive travelers, has, since the transfer of the Land League treasure to Paris, became a hotbed and strong- hold of the enemies of England. Tt has just given shelter to Mr. James Redpath, a gentleman who is believed to be peculiarly disagreeable to the British government, and who, it is said, unless he is extremely careful in his future proceedings, runs consider- able risk of joining the incarcerated leaguers Davitt and Dillon, Mr. Red- path, who has been staying at the Brighton for a couple of days with John O'Loary, on his way to Ireland, fa- vored me with an interviow yostorday. The conversation naturally turned on the state of affairs in Ireland, and more especially on the various means which have recently been proposed as panaceas for the multitudinous ail- ments of that unhappy land. THE FEDERATION SCHEME. After some desultory talk I re- marked to Mr. R,mlpn:?;. “I should like to hear what you think of the iden of forming a grand British, Trish and colonial federation, as suggested in a Herald editorial of the Oth inst., and leaving Ireland to fight out her internal quarrels alone in a native parliament{” Redpath—As far as relates to Tre- land, the scheme would be a great stroke of statesmanship, becauso the TIrish people will never be satistied but will n{wnys be intensely disloyal, un- til at last the Irish parliament is re- stored. But the great difficulty now is that this concession, ns England might be willing to grant it, comes too late. Unless England first abol- ishes the federal features of Irish landlordism, utterly eradicating ab- sentee and corporate landlordism, or is willing to agree to a single chamber, based on the same rights of sufirage as prevail in England, the old Irish scheme of a parliament, with com- mons, lords, and a parlinmentary mon- arch is only a dream now, because tho Irish hatred of subjection has been transferred largely from England to the Irish landlords, who would form the upper house. The old French plan of a_single chamber would be adopted, I think, with joy, and it would transfer the Irish questions from London to Dublin to be settled hy the Trish themselves. Legislative independence works well in Canada and Australia with their large Irish populations, and, 1 believe it would work quite as well in Ireland. INDEPENDENCE AND CONTENTMENT, Finding Mr. Redpath in a commun- icative mood I continued—*Would the Trish, in your opinion, be con- tent with legislative independence?” Redpath—A large portion of them would H»u satished if England did not practically nullify the legislative indoe pendence by an undue use of the veto power or by requiring tho Irish laws to be approved be the imperial parlia- ment or the London cabinet. Telegram correspondent—Do you consider that Ireland is ready for an essay of independence!” Redpath—Certainly 1 do. When England established the mnational schools she made it impossible for her to continue her immemorial treatment of Treland. KEven twenty years ago the Irish would have risen in insurrec- tion under the present state of affairs, yet now, self-restrained, with nearly all their leaders in jail, they are prov- ing their capacity for home rule. HOW ENGLAND WOULD BE AFFECTED. Telegram Correspondent—Would England be weaker or stronger for that concession of Irish independence? Redpath—Stronger, of course, both in the respect of the world and in physical power. The Canadian Irish {mlu England, but never rebel bocause they have not a grievance. ’I{:lugnuu Correspondent —What would be the position of the land league and of Mr. Parnell after the concesssion? Redpath--This borderson prophecy. They would necessarily be compelled to devote their chiet attention to the amelioration of the evils of Ireland at home and among the Irish people, meaning the disconten- ted Irsh. The large majority of the people take less interest in British politics than we do, Mr. Redpath goes to Dublin_to-day on a journalistic mission and will pro- bably not indulge in the luxury of public speaking. Bo, at least, he as- sured me, adding that he had excel- lent reason to suppose that his slight- est oratorical imprudence would be followed by his arrest. The eminent French statesman, Jules Orland Stanislas Dufaure, life senator and member of the academy, is dead. Dufaure was born Dec. 4, 1798, at Sanjoa, was educated for the bar, and after being admitted, practiced with great success at Bordaux, He entered politics in 1834, and under the prem iership of Guizot became a councillor of state, and subsequently a minister of public works. Although a member of the government he did not always act with his colleagues, and early dis- tinguished himself by his great inde- pendence of character and sturdy re- sistance to illiberal measures, He opposed the election of Louis Napo- leon to the presidency ot the nijmhliu in 1848, but acquiesced in the result when it was an- nounced. Napoleon tried to win him to his side, um’] offered him the posi- tion of minister of the interior, which he accepted June 2, 1849. He re- fused to acquiesce in the coup d'etat, and was one of the deputies seized and — imprisoned for opposition to that most iniquitous usurpation, After his ro- lease he retired to private lifo and to !vmtim at tho bar. When, in 1863, he was elected a member of the French academy, M, 8t. Mare Girardin was sent to the emperor to announce his eloction. The emperor received M. Girardin graciously, and said he was glad of Dufaure’s election, although he was not one of hissupporters. He said he remembered with gratitude the services of Dufaure as minister of the interior under the presidency. During the prosecution of Montalam- bert, in 1862, Dufaure acted as his ad- voeato, pleading his cause with preat wkill nm‘ eloquence, In February, 1871, he was elected to the national assembly as a member of the left contre. He was selected by M. Thiers as minister of justice, and soon after became vice-presidont of the council of ministers, ~ During his administration he 1 the Bonapartist intrigues, i from office at the close of Thier's ad- ministration, but in 1875 he assumed his old post of minister of the inter- ior.

In February, 1876, he was elected to the chamber of deputies, and in August following ho was chosen a lifo sonator. He op- posed the clerical and porsonal gov- ernment of Marshal MacMahon and became the leader of the opposition. On the overwhelming victory of his party in October, 1877, he became the head of the cabinet, which place he held for fourteen months, and guided, with groat ability, the country through one of the most critical crises in its history. On the eloction of Grevy to the Presidency, M. Dufaure retired, and did not thereafter enter public life. Ho claimed rest in his old age and af- ter long public service. He will be romembered most as the father of French railroad legislati for his opposition to the fortific of Paris, his opposition to the treaty with England granting the right to search, his zealous support of Gen, Calvagnari in 1848, his defenso of Montalambert, and, aboveall, by his steady, judicious, and unfliching sup- port of the republic during the last years of his life. ‘War on MacVeagh.

Special dispatch to Tix Biw, Drs Moivges, Ta, June 30.—As stated last evening that the tactics of the friends ot Harlan and Campbell would be to break the strength of Larrabee and Sherman, and force a dead-lock, so it proved, and the scat- tering of uninstructed delegates was kept up until the tenth ballot, when darkness came on, and an effort was made to adjourn, but the friends of Larrabeo and Sherman construed the move as one to give an opportun- ity for further strategy and refused to adjourn until the delegation went to supper by rolays, and the ballotiug was kept up until the twelfth ballot, when Campbell's7delegation began to break for Sherman. Instantly thero was a porfect babel and uproar. The chairman_pounded a fine opera honse parlor table into fragments_without success to quict the during the excitement and confusion. The chairman then announced that Sherman had received votes enough to nominate, when Tom Updegraff mounted a chair and protested against such a ballet, and demanded a fair, honest and just ballot, and on motion a new roll call was had, whichresulted in Sherman getting 509 votes, or lack- ing one necessary to a choice, when Colonel Henderson, of Dubuque, in behalf of Mr. Larrabee, moved the unanimous nom- ination of Sherman, which was soconded by Senator Woolson, of Henrv, in behalf of Mr. Harlan, and the deadlock was ended at 9:30, after eight hours of continuous session. The convention is now voting on lieu- tenant-governor, with O. H. Man- ning, of Carroll, ahead. LATEST DISPATCH, His nomination was house, cabinet, a good man in tho Philadel- phia law oflice, but a very bad man in the department of justice at Wash- ington. | So they agreed that he must rosign ilvoluutarily, - By a strango mental process thu{ canio to think that the president shared their views to the full. So to-night a dispatch emanating from the ring was telo- graphed ~ here. Tt will very likely appear in Brady's morn- ing organ on the morrow. 1t embodies the substance of the con- clusions of the ringsters. 1t is to_the effect that the president has about made up his mind that MacVeagh's resignation would be acceptable, but that he would not act hastily; that to- morrow he would discuss the matter with the members of the cabinet now here, and on Wednesday decide fing ly and act. The author of the para- graph was kind enough to say that Wm. E. Chandlor would probably succeed MacVeagh, and also that MacVeagh was acling very courteous ly by staying until the president should decide his fate. The inevita- ble reference from the statements of the dispatch was that MacVeagh was about to go. It was shown to well- informed cabinet offiers, who pro- nounced it baseless nonesense. The truth is, as they say, that MacVeagh is too strong to be moved. He will stick, e The Storm.
