2-TWENTY PAGES MANY CHILDREN ~ INJURED | § /;ninm Portion of MoCook Devastated by a Oyolone. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH DESTROYtD Fifty Little Ones Caught in the Debrls and Dangerously Hurt—Herole Debds of Nine.¥ear-Old Dan MeAljine~ t of the Victims, McCook, Neb,, June 4.—[Special Telegram to Tus Bee.|—McCook was visited today with a terrible eyclone. Cousiderable dam- age was doue and a uumber of people seri- ously fnjured. It had been a nice day, clear and bright, with tho wind blowing from the southwest. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon it clouded up in the east, altbough there s no porceptible change in the tem- porature. At 4:15 p. m., without a moment's warning, a small, writhing cloud was seon approaching from the east, It passed over the city and crossed the Repub- Jican river, where it turved and came back over the city from soutbwest to northeast. At that timo tho streets were crowded with people and many farmers were getting ready to go home after a day's shopping. As the huge funnel shaped cloud passed over the B. & M. shops and roundhouse it seomed to suddenly drop down to the ground, first striking the business bullding owned by , H. W. Cole and with its awful power raised metal roof clear off of the one-story +“part in the rear, whirling it around, £ bringieg it down with terrible forco in 4 almost 1ts former position upon the « hends of the cigarmakers who were at work tuere, All esoaped except one who recelved several cuts on the head. The thick brick walls alore saved them from most serious fojury. This building s occupied by Joseph Reizeustein as 8 cigar factory and his damage 10 stock is not very great. Alarmed the Citizens, By this timo the strocts were thronged by terrified occupants of the buildings who Lastily rushed out of their various places of business. ‘The storm center sesmed to raise up io the air and again drop to the ground about three blocks away. In a moment the air was filled with flying timbers and the cry was raised that the Congregational church ‘was Io ruins and hundredsof children buried in the ruins. Some one had presence of mind enough to turn in a general alarm, and the firo department pesponded uobly., Amid the screeching of whistles of the engines in the railrond yards and the din of the fire bells the crowd rushed towards the fallen eaifice. The children of the city were r.hearsing for Crildren’'s day at the Congregational church and that edifice was packed to its ut. most capacity with the little folks, But two minutes hefore the cyclone struck the building about 200 of the smaller chil- dren had finished their exercises and had just goue home, The church was raised from 1ts foundations as lightly as if it had been un egg shell and then crashed down with a dull thud ke the booming of a cannon in one mass of ruins, burying about sixty children, to- gother with the pastor of the chureh’ and seversl teachers. The children who had first left the building ran screaming with terror to their homes. Many were hurt by flying timbers, butso tar as known none serlously. With “willing hands the fallen timbers were removed from the ruins and it was scarcely thought that any would be got out alive, All Released from tho Debris. Thio work progressed ravidly, men work- fog ‘With that energy that danger alone brings, and soon all wera released from their imprisonment. ‘The timbers, in falling, bad formed an arch over the heads of those who W1rn in_the building, and some wero unlojured. None of the injured have died. Seveu of the children are seriously injured, and it is foared that several cannot live but a few hours. Maup Perry, DAN McALriNg, Hanry CamurgLy, Rurn CressweLL and her little sister are among thoss most seriously in- jured. Maud and Laura McMillen were badly bruised about the head and basck and e pastor, Rev. W. Stevenson, 18 seriously Atjured, bemng buried under the church organ, and 1t is feared he is hurt internally. an MoAlpine, although u lad of soma 8 or 9 years, was one of the heroes of the hour, Although seriously 1njured, be was pulling away the rubbish and helping others out when the people reached the ruins, when he fell over and it was found ho was badly cut and is now lying 1 & critical condition. Another little boy was caught up by the wind and carried safely out of the falling walls und set down on the ground some dis- tance away, more scared than hurt. Maud Cresswell bas her face badly <ashed and ber lower jaw broken, and also u.sleg. Others have legs and arms broken, an still ¢ others seem to te nurt internally. ~ The list of injured numbers about fifty and as many ‘were carricda home at once it 1s impossible at this hour to get the exact number. Had the cyclone struck the church five minutes earlier at least 250 would have been buried in the ruins. TIME FOR BUSINESS, Energetic Work is Necded to Pat the Pro- Ject hu-Successful Shape.

ARE GOING OUT OF POLITICS Many Members of Parliament Will Aban- don the Oommons for Good. OTHERS NERVOUS ABOUT RE-ELECTION Sketches ot Several Who Will Go Out from the Present House Never to Return as Membors—Hard Work for Little Pay. [Copyrighted 1892 by Jamss Gordon Bennst | Loxpoy, June 4.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee.]—Here wo members of Parliament are, at the oclose of this first week of June, all under sentence of death. Some of us, perhaps & good many, may be “called back,” but we shall have to pass through the transition state, receiving judgment through the medium of the ballot box. Some of my friends on both sides of tho houso will go into the fight depressed and norvous, Some, tired of the whole business, think it is not ‘good enough to waste more life in’ Thero s no remarkable distinction these days in being & mewber of tho House of Commovs. iHere advantages aro only to be obtained by ‘those who understand how to pust their fortunes, without allowing modesty to stand in their way, or who :ave powerful influ- ences {0 back them, up. Fine Old English Gentleman, A good many of the present numver will voluntarily vetire from publio life, Let us tako a glance at these. They are interest- ing figures in their way. My oye rests first upon & tall, thin, handsome old- man, with something in his aspect which 1astantly ar- rests attention wherever ono might meet him. Ho looks like a relic of days gone by, “a fine old English gentleman, one of the olden time.” So in uruth he is, for this is Sir Rainald Koightley, who was first elected to Parliament forty-seven years ago. He has kept his seat ever since. Ior hundreds of years past there has usually been a Knightley in Parliament, and always for the samo county—Northampton. The Knight- Lo ¥'s have had thelr estates in that part of the country since 1415, ‘I'ney had an an- cester wnose name is recorded in Doomsday Book, a thing which very few families in Eneland can boast of. The Knightleys sup- ported the puritan cause throughout the civil war, Evon now Sir Rawald causes it 10 be added to his name in the Parliamentary Guide that, though nominally a conservative, he is not plodged to any party. Tt is said their coat of arms, which is hung up in the old hall in their house at Four! contains 344 quarterings. That I hope, is difiiciont to satisfy the most exacting demand of proof of good family of long decent. 1 never heard the present head of vhe' fam- ily l‘»enk in the House of Commons. He usually comes in, takes & corner seat and gives a silont vote. He is one of those men who are always to be depended upon in an emergency, who is sure to run true acd straight, no matter who is crooked. One is sorry to see men like this disappear, for at any rate they lend a pleturesque touch to the external aspect of our political life, Some Other Ancient®and Honorables. In the lobby a fow days ago I nearly ran against a very old member of the House of Commons, Mr. Charles Villiers, the real autlior of the fres trade movement. He began long before Mr. Cobden or Mr. Bright were heard of. His form is now bent and noarly doublo, but he comes to the Louse whenever an important division is expected. He is a liveral, but like many of the best he could not stand Mr. Gladstone's sudden sur- render to Mr, Parnell. He is exactly %0 years of age and has been a member of Pas linment fifty-seven years, Mr. Gladstone can beat that record, for he came here in 1832, Iam toid that Mr. Vil- liers does not. intend to give politics up in spite of his advancea I(B, and, of course, there willl be no opposition to him. The English people never ‘‘go back’ on sa oid sorvant unless be has taken extraordinary pains to provoee them. This pleasant looking elderly gentleman is Sir H Selwyn Ibbetson, who has jus received & peerage, but will not take it up until Par- lament is dissolved. He has had twenty- seven years' service and descrves to be transferred to the calmer atmosphero of the House of Lords, and here is my excellent friond, George who has been in Parliament two years, and for whom a peerage s A said to be reserved. He is the owner of a beautiful property near Dorking known as “Denbeies,” Few travelers in Surry have omitted to notice his house and the lovely church which he built close by it, on the top of the hill above Lorking. H{) is going, but we hol;m to welcome nis son among us in the next Parlament. Sume Hope for Reward, It must be rememvered that the great shower of rewards for services during the present Paruament does not come ull the close of the last session, many are the fond expectations which are being cherished at this moment. We may safely say that a goodly proportion of them is destined to be disappoiuted and Lord Salisbury knows well how to keep secrets of this kind, Some new peers there must be, in accoraance with estublished usage, and the honor does not appear to be less coveted because the radicals are threatening the upper house with immediate extinction. 'ho members who sre going out of public life by their own choice have all the best bargain. Av the prosent moment they are rot anxious about the election. They will look on with Lucretian calmness from the shore upon Wwho are struggling in the breakers. They are not golng to 1ose any- thing which is prized very bighly. Havo Mighty Few Comforts. The House of Commons work is as a rule desperately dull und dreary and moreover bard. A manis sure to be called upon to sorve upon various committees. That in- volves a great deal of labor with no reward of any kind. A memberof 8 committe in congress acquires influence and a certaln distinction oy his position. Not so here. Even in the arrangements for personal com fort and convenience the House of Commons caunot be compared to congress. When an thing occurs o bring together a full attend- ance we are all jammed up together like boys upon a form in school. We wear our hats 1t we like, but if we tako them off there 18 no place to put them. There is no room pro- vided for the papers which a speaker may require to refer to and if he wants u glass of water he must put iv on the floor at his feet, Before he has advavced farin his speech he has generally kicked the glass over. He is net allowed to read letters or newspa- pers in the house, and if be wants to write a note he must scribble on his knees i pencil. The passages betweon tho benches are’ so narrow that any member who passes you is sure to tread on your foot. If you should chanco to be asloep for the time his process will not improve your temper. F¥ew Favors for Ladies, It involves considerable trouble to get friends luto the wallery, and for ladies’ orders one has to vallot weoks before- band. 1 have known & member to ballot all through the sessions and not succeed, The dralnage of the place in spite of all the money that has been spent upon it is very defective, ‘The evil siells which fill the corridors and the lobbies in wurm weatber will remind one of the diruest city on the coniinent. When once we are eutered the precincts of the house we cannot got out again, unless wo find o membor of tle obposite party “to pair with.” You are always exceedingly doudtful whether you will get home to dinuer. 1t issupposed that the house does not now keep late hours, but st the best it ‘must be 1 o'clock in the morn- ing before a jaded member. can hope to reach home. The cost of au election in the first instance is seldom less than £600, Sometimes it muy amount to more than double that sum. 'I'here is afterward a con- toual drain upon the purse of a member for local subscriotions, though some constituen- cles are very good (o their representatives in bat fes pect, y own among them. Looked at’ all around, I often wonder why thore should bo 80 much compeution for seat in Parliament Of course, a member of Parliament is still somebody.

'TaeoMelal organs bere insist that the proposal’for the meeting emanated fromn tho czar, who wrote, suggest- ing that the interview be held at Kie!, giving tho short timo at bis disposal before he re. turns to St. Petorsourg as the reason for his not coming to Potsdam. A stronger reason, howaever, is his well grounded dislike to the railway journoy necossary to reach Fotsdam and the possible risk of nibilist outrages. The emperor will meet. tho czar off the port of Kiel in the imperial yactt. Wil Have No Politieat Sigmificance. Pains are taken In oficial quarters to deny thatthe interview will have any politica character, but it is generally belisved the day’s convorsation between the emptrors will do much to promots the friendly rela- tions of both emplires. Roports from rela- ble sources state that sk czar has more than once lutely given proofs of his desire to avold any astion that would be likely to cause irritation In Germany. It s even stated that attempts of France to prevent any auti-German; demonstrations at the Nancy fetes are due to Baron Mohron- heim, the Russian ambassador to France, ex- ressing to Prosident Carnot the czar's ope_ that no demonstration would occur. The fact that the {nterviow hapbpens on tne same day as the Nancy fetes causes consid- erable remark, as while patriotic French- men will be displaying their love for Russia, and probably revillog Germany, the two emperors will be quiotly conferring to the aduantage of thelr mutual interests. The pust week nas been one of the hottest eyer known here, The mercury roseto 03 degrees in the shade at times and it was rarely below S0. Pleased the Little Queen, All sserlin_was present at tho review of the garrison before the queen regent of Hol- land. Queen Wilhelmina was not present at the Berlin reviow, She witnessed the re- view at Potsdam and clapped her hands with delight as the crown prince, attired in the uniform of the First rogiment of the foot guards, marched past with his regiment, The queen regent appeared 1mpressed with the exceptional warmth of her reception here. The Kreuz Zeitung remarks that the queen rogent’s visit has had a favorable effect n Holland, where the students have declined to take part in the Nancy fetes in order not 10 bo present in the event of anti-German manifestations. Herr Krechs is against tho remonitization of silvei. He has declared that the intro- duction of free coinage would lead to a groat commercial crisis. America’s desire for a conference, he said, argse from her false financial policy of saving e Rnsalable silver. Instead of free coinage binging to her the control of the world’s money, market, as the silver men 1magined, Améiea is 10 such a fix what she is obliged ;o look for help abroad. : Refused a CatheloBurial. The refusal of the CatlioH¢ authorities to allow Catholic’ burial’*td' the remains "of Dr. von [orckenboeck,’ burgomaster of Borlin, is one of! tho great- est blunders that could have been committed and will do the “Catholic_cause immense injury. The piovost of St. H. Edwiu church, the chiof Catholic church of tho city, tries to assumo alf’ responsibility for the action, but 1t is wellmown that this deoision was approved, by the highest Catholio ' authority. - d4° Wreisinaigs Zoltung states that Herk Stayck, ;prosident i, His sconded TEom of the munieipal counc the Catholic church'as a prGtestant against what he considers an act of unjustifiable intolerance.

The overtures were favorably received. If they are successful the French producers will be invited to co-operate. ENGLAND'S NAVY. Great Bills of Expense but a Comfort to Patriotic Britons. [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennstt.] LoxpoyN, June 4.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bes.|—The Naval Annual, which has just been issued, gives some interesting figures relative to the Brit- ish navy. Among other 1tems which ought to give the anti-naval taxpayers of America a chance to reflect is the expenditure during the prst seven years of $22,000,000 for new. ships, — glance at the books shows what a tremendous cost, and, 1acidentally, waste, tho British navy is to the nation. Warships of the vory latest designs become obsolete betore they have even lofs the building yards, while fabulous sums aro spent sunually 1u refitting aud altering useless ships, But generally the British navy shows up very well. England has now ready for war 103 ships, F'rance, 106, and Russia 57. The total displacement of the British fleot is roughly 12,000,000 tons; of the Freach navy, 500,000, and of the Russian navy, 26,000, Sporting and Theatrical Talk. M.
