SENATE ACTS ON HOT SPRINGS MEASURE Concurs in House Amen nts a the Bill Now Goes to the Presis dent for Signature—Chhnges in Ponstal Serviee, (From a Staff Correspondent.) WABHINGTON, May 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The house appropriation of $300,- 000 as contained in the omnibus public publio building bill for Lincoln is re- tained in the senaté measure which was re: ported today, but it was not retained ex- cept by hard and earnest work on the part of Representative Burkett, who made s personal plea with the senate committee on public bulldinge and grounds for its retention. As made up yesterday after- noon the bill reduced the Lincoln appro- priation $50,000. According to Mr. Burk- ott’ tement he had been apprised of the intention to reduce the appropriation for several days, but had never given up hops of getting consideration at the last moment. The first knowledge he had that the doings of the committee were known on the outside was contained in The Bee of Saturday and he at once began a systematic effort with a view of holding the appropri- ation which the houss gave Lincoln Intact. His success ia shown in the senate bill as reported today. The bill also carries an appropriation of $45,000, as previously an- nounced, for Omaha. BSo far as Nebraska is concerncd there are ho other changes over the house measure. Towa in the aggregate gets a slight in- crease over the total appropriation for that state so far as public. bulldings are concerned. Marshalitown is reduced from $85,000 to $80,000; Boone from $100,000 to $80,000, while Muscatine is given $15,000 for a site which was not included in the biil as it came from the house. The appropriatien for Des Molnes is In- creased $40,000, while the area of the site of the new bullding at that place is re- duced from 80,000 to 70,000 square feet. Just betore the bill was reported this morning the committee decided to glve Yankton $7,600 for the purchase of a site instead of $5,000, as previously stated. Bill for Pontoon Bridge. Representative Burkett today introduced a bill in behalf of the Plattsmouth Pon- toon Bridge company authorizing the con- struction of a pontoon bridge across the Missour{ river in Sarpy county, Nebraeka, and Mills county, Iowa. The bridge, accord- ing to the bill, is to be bullt under the usual regulations presoribed by the War department and is to be construdted with a draw of 300 feet in the clear.

The guards were only lhl. to restrain them by the most vigorous Wnn the fire was first discovered, in the lavedry, the patients were hastily brought togethies in ¢he yard sud surrounded by a cordon of guards xnd' attendants, who held thetn Back When (hey wade a dash for Mou-, 2 4s the flimes were dlscoversd most of the guards and attendants were sent to the various wards to get the patients out. None of the violently insane or orim- ipals was in the threatened bullding, but the alarm of fire caused aven those whose minds were but slightly unbalanced to be- come frantic with terror. Neerly all the patients were In the dormitories, which made the task of getting them out of the bullding much easier, as they could be marshaled at the regular fire drill. In some of the wards furthest from the fire a few patients who could be trusted wero left. The others were marched from the bullding. Although they were greatly frightened, a few soothing words from the guards pacified them and there was little trouble until all were assembled in the yard. There they again became panic- stricken and many tried to break through the thin line of guards. The women seemed more frightened than the men and several times they led dashes for freedom. Had there been any concerted moyement the whole 2,600 would have escaped. Twenty or thirty would make a sudden run toward the guards and the lattér would have hard work getting them back in the crowd with the others. This would work the others up to a frenzy and another group would charge toward another part of the line, only to be driven back. Men and women used their fi freely and several of the guards were badly brulsed by the struggling mob. As far as could be learned, however, none escaped. When the flames were extinguished the patients were led back to their dormitories, but for hours they could not be qulieted. The financial loss was small. BEEF TRUST FICHT BECINS ((‘onunued from First Page.) tis &-Co., packers, from fxing the price of meats or from working in conjunction with the Beef trust, so-called. The order was sought because the attor- ney general doubted whether the quo war- ranto proceedings instituted last night at Jefferson City against other packers could be maintained agalnst a co-partnership, such as the Nelson Morris company. The order states that Nelson Morris & Co. is enjoined until further orders of the court from becoming a member or party to any agreement, confederation, combination, pool or understanding with the Armour Packing company, the Hammond Packing company, the Cudahy Packing company, Armour & Co., Swift and Company, Henry N. Krug Packing company and Schwarzchild & Sulzberger company, or either of them, to fix and maintain In Kansas City, St Joseph or elsewhere in the state of M souri the price to be paid by retail butchers or dealers in meats, or consumers of lard and meats of any kind. The order asks that the packers’ be re- strained from the varlous over-receipts as charged In the bill filed and says: “At the several stock yards and open and competitive markets in Ohlcago, Omaha, Sioux City, St. Joseph, Mo., Kaneas City, East St. Louls, 8t.

PEOPLE DROWN IN'STREETS OF CINCINNATI Business Section of City Da Extent of Milllon Do Many Saburban Towns Are Seriously Affected. CINCINNATI, May 20.—Shortly after 11 o'clock today this locality was stricken by a terrific wind and rain storm, causing the loss of a balf a dozen lives and injuring many. The fury of the storm continued only half an hour, but in that time over a million dollars of damage was done in the business section of Cincinnati and as much In other parts of the oity and suburbs. De WILLIE WILLEN, aged 4, drowned in Covington. MRS. FLACHNER drowned in Covington. CLEM DAVIER, teamster, drowned in Covington. GEORGE BECKER, teamster, drowned in the streets of Cincinnati. FERDINAND RAPP, peddler, drowned in a cellar in Cinelnnati. D. W. C.'BELLEVILLE, carpenter, blown from a roof fn Cincinnati. Storm Comes from South. Prior to the unprecedented falling of rain, dense clouds were seen to the south and the city became as dark as night. It wae atterward learned that there had been a terrific waterspout on the Lewisburg hills, in the southern suburbs of Covington, Ky., and It moved over the Kentucky suburbs into this city, passing up the Miami valley and causing damage as far away as Day- ton, O. While storm damages are reported throughout Kentucky the worst polnt seems to have been In Covington. The water rolled down the hills in a Wave twenty feet deep at places, and was about 100 yards wide. The frame house of Rdward Wohrle was carried for a distance of over four blocks and finally was dashed to pleces in the Covington ball grounds. The house was occupled by four families —Henry Willen and wife and four children, Henry Simmons, wife and children, Henry Qualby and family, and Mrs. Qualby. All had narrow escapes except Mrs. Flachner and Willie Willen, aged 4, who were drowned. Mrs. Willen and her other chil- dren were almost drowned when rescued. It 18 belleved that Mrs. Flachner, a sister of Mrs. Willen, lost her life in trying to save Willle. Searching Party at Work. Searching parties are still at work to- night in Willow Hollow, at the foot of Lew- isburg hill, where others are reported miss- ing. In this section cuthouses and stables were carried away. One stable with four horses, was swept over into the Cov- ington ball grounds and the horses drowned. . The house of Mrs. Watson was submerged, but she and her children were rescued. Clem Davier, who was driving a team near the flood in the Kentucky suburb, had his wagon overturned by the water and was drowned. The buildings of the Queen City Bathing club on the river front at Dayton, Ky., op- posite Cincipnati, were démolished. The greatest damage on both sides of the river, especially to the business houses in Cincin- nati and elso in Covington, and Newport, Ky., came from cellars being suddenly filled, with. water, it being impossible for the sewers and gutters.to carry the water off. For a short time the water was deep in ali the streets, and trafic as well as was suspended. General Panic Ensues, In the midst of darkness and unprece- dented downfall of rain there was, for a short time, a general panic in amticipation of a tornado that would sweep everything. Superintendént Bassler of the United States weather bureau reported the wind as sixty miles an hour, and the rainfall in less than half an bour of 2.38 imches, the greatest on record here. At the Cincinnati morgue there are the bodies of three victim George Beck widower, while driving a beer wagon, wi struck by a telegraph pole and knocked from his wagon. He was plonioned to the ground and drowned on one of the principal avenues, Ferdinand Rapp, a peddler, was caught by the water while trying to get goods out of a cellar. D. W. C. Belleville, a carpenter, was carried away with the roof of & building on which he was working, and killed. Damages and Injurie: There are very many reported as injured. Danfel Grace and Louis Kern were geriously hurt. The damage in the cellars of some of the jobbers runs as high as $26,000 and $80,000 each. Several small frame hous on Price Hill were demolished by & land- slide, but all of the occupants escaped. There was considerable damage to sewers. Guy M. Gest, contractor, who was putting the telegraph and telephone wires in con- duits, suffered great damage in the excava- tions he is making throughout the city. In one large manhole sixteen feet deep where he 1s giving an underground - exhibit to the Natlonal Electric Light association in session here, several men had narrow e cape: T water rushed into the I excavation and the men were pulled out after they were completely submerged.

All the naval officers were arrayed in full uniform resplendent In gold braid and plumed chapeaux. The Cubans generally wore black frock coats, white walst coats and silk hats They formed a distinguished looking as- semblage as they gathered in the audience chamber. The ceremony itself was brief and simple. After formal greetings General Wood read the documentary traisfer prepared by the War department, pledging the new govern- ment to immediately proclaim the constitu~ tion and the Platt amendment contained in the appendix and to undertake all obliga- tions assumed by the United States with respect to Cuba, by the treaty of Parls, Formal Transfer Proclamation. Proclamation “B" is issued by General Wood, as military governor. It recites in due form that the Cuban congress convensd in Havana May 5, examined the credentials and certified to the election of the sena- tors and representatives now in the con- gress and also found Tomas Estrads Palma and Luls Esteves Romero to have been elected respectively president and vice president of the republic; that on May 20, at noon, the Cuban constitution will go inte effect.
