At Tenth and Harney streets the wind blew the front end out of a brick black- smith shop, took the skylight out and blew 1t to no one knows where, and left a halt block of billboards which adjoined the shop without so much as blowing the paper oft of them. The back windows were blown out of the shop and most of the tools were scattered in the etreet. A pony which wi tied in the bullding w the falling out of the front end of the bullding several electric wirgs were broken and fell across the street just as the fire lepartment came along at full speed headed for a fire on Douglas street. Police Ofcer Farrls succeeded in stopping the firemen while H. F. Cohers fished out some pliers from the debris of the blacksmith shop and cut the wires. The sparks shooting from the ends of the wires made a spectauclar | display. Across the street from the blacksmith ehop a lunch wagon, which had just been stationed there by Its proprietor, was blown over and smashed to pleces. The proprietor was in the, wagon when; it fell over, but was uninjured. At Homa livery barn, 419 South Thir- teenth street, a buggy was destroyed by a peculiar feat of the wind. The buggy was stored In the upper story of the barm. ‘While the employes were closing and bar- ring the lower doors the wind rushed through the upper windows, struck the buggy and rolled it to an elevator shaft, ‘where it fell to the lower story. The buggy was demolished. A portion of the roof of the building was also blown off and the . skylight broken out. The storm swept down on Courtland « beach and Cut-Off lake with sufficlent fury to drive the pleasure seeckers to places of safety and make the lake a miniature sea, the waves rising several feet, almost cap- sizing several boats filled with young peo- ple. Ome skiff, in which there were three young women and two young men, became unmanageable when near the shore and C. F. Smock, who runs the boathouse, and | Palma, his assistant,- waded Into the water and carried the women to the beach, ‘while the young men waded out. It was reported that a boat in which ' two daughters of Mr. McEachron, the . coal dealer, and two young men had been capsized and the. parties drowned. A searching party w organized and the empty boat was found. When this news ‘Was brought to shore Mrs. McEachron falnted and it was some minutes before #he was restored to conscliousness. Later one of the young men who had been of | the party came to the beach and reported | that the party had landed safely and the young women had been taken home.

The fire proved, however, to be confined to an old mattre: in the back yard and was extingulshed before the department arrived. Table d'hote was pust concluded and the dancing had barely begun at the Country club when the flerce wind struck. A crowd of soclety pleasure seekers were wrapped in the mazes of the first waltz, but the wrath of the elements quickly drew their attention elsewhere, and the music was drowned out by the roar of the wind. The club house is a cozy place, however, and most everyone decided to weather it oul and go In town after the gale had d and the rain ceased. Those who hnd driven out were In rather of a predi- cament as far as thelr livery was con- cerned. At the Omaha Fleld club the storm was not severe enough to disturb a large party which had just begun to enjoy the even- ing's dance program In the club hous While the wind swept about the building with conslderable force there was no caus for alarm. EFFECT OF MOUNT PELEE Voleanie Disturbance in Martiniq: Changes Elevations at Various FPoints in Pennsylvania, HARRISBURG, Pa., June 14.—The con- tention of geologists that the recent seismic disturbances in Martiniause would not only affect torritory adjacent to Martinique, but | would also be noticed in this country, 1s born. out by the following letter sent by Colonel H. C. Deming of the United States Geologlcal survey to Charles D. Walcott, director of the United States Geological survey, Washington, D. C.: During the past month I have taken l( varlous places in Pennsylvani geological’ work, & number of Slevations above sea level, ‘and I have found In every case where elevations been taken preylously that the present figures show igher elovatons than betore. t s possible that this is due to the sels- mic 'disturbances in Martinique and other islands southeastwardly from the United States. I found the variation to be from (wo inches to more than twenty-four on comparing them with older records at Honeybrook, Chester county; Golumbis. Lancaster couni Gettysburg, Adamg county; Newville, Cumberland county, and in Dauphin county. FORECAST OF THE WEATHER Cooler and Fair ay In Nebraska Preceded by Local Thunder- Storms in East.

NEW YORK, June 14.—So confident are the mine operators of winning their strug- gle with their employes in the anthracite region that a statement has been issued at Wilkesbarre to the effect that when opera- tlons shall have been resumed fewer men will be employed. It 1s planned to reduce the number of miners one-third and increase wages by one-third. In other words, the operators believe their forces can be reduced from aAn approximate of 147,000 men to 100,000. The operators say they will not attempt to resume the mining of coal at all col- lieries, and that restrictions will be placed on summary closing of the mines without notice by the men remalning away from work for the purpose of celebrating various holidays, etc., and they will be expected to be on duty every day the mine is open. Both Sides Kqually Confident. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 14.—Today finds the fifth week of the anthracite coal miners’ strike. Nelther side has weakened an inch and each side stands just as firmly as it 14 thirty-five days ago. As the days go by it becomes more ap- parent that it is a case of the “survival of the fittest.” Neither the miner nor the operator has anything further to propose, and if a solutlon of the dispute is to come it looks very much as though it will have to come from a third party. The entire reglon was quiet today and the territory affected by the strike presents a Sunday-like appearance. Including those who are not on strike, but are affected by the suspension, there are approximately 165,000 men and boys ldle. The efforts of the strike leaders to bring out the fire bosses {s not meeting with as much suc- cess as they expected. President Mitchell today recelved advices from West Virginia which, he says, are ex- tremely favorable to the strikers. One telegram from the Kanawha and New River dlstricts, where a total of 13,000 men are employed, says that 12,600 men are on strike in that territory. Dencuncea ns a Fake. The statement printed today and alleged to be from an officlal close to the large coal companies, to the effect that the strike is teaching the operators to economize the working force at their mines, and that after the strike is over less than 100,000 men will be used in the mines, s denounced as a “fake.” General Manager Warriner of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, said today that neither his company nor the New Jersey Central railway knew anything of the origin of the story. An official of the Wilkes- barre company also denied knowledge of the statement. President Mitchell says the idea embodied in the statement is absurd, even from tho operator's view point. The heavy rains of last night had lttlc or no effect on the mines. Water is slowly accummulating in some collieries, but the company officials say they have the situ: tion well in hand. Officer's House Dynamited. HAZLETON, Pa., June 14.—The house of James Applegate at West Hazleton wi shattered early today by an explosion of dynamite, which had been placed near the slde of the building by unknown partie The tamily escaped Injury. Applegate h been employed as a special officer at the Cranberry colliery since the strike went into effect. Frank Pardee, superintendent of the Cranberry colliery, offers a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the dyna- miters. He says bloodhounds will be brought here to assist the police in running down the gullty parties. Applegate, while returning from the Cranberry colliery, where he had gone to report an account of the explosion and the consequent shock to himself and fam- 1ly, was held up by two men and relieved of his revolver. He made no resistance, as four other armed men stood close by ready to assist If necessary in overpowe ing him. Applegate knows the men and they will be arrested. Mrs. A says she was told by a West Haszleton man that fourteen houses would be dynamited if the men occupying them did not stop working at surrounding mines. Policemen are now looking for the person who s alleged to have made this threat. NEW YORK, June 14.—It was learned to- day on the highest authority that the visit of George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co., to Washington yesterday had nothing to do with the coal strike. The situation 8o far as the anthracite operators is con- cerned, it is sald, remains unchanged. ROANOKE, Va., June 14.—Today's offi- clal statement by the Norfolk & Western Rallroad company, regarding the strike in the Pocahontas coal flelds, shows but lit- tle change in the situation since Friday. There is a gradual return of old men to work and the strikers' ranks are not being augmented. Complete reports of yester- day's operations show that four mines were idle out of a total of forty-six. Expect to Operate Cars. PAWTUCKET, R. L, June 14.—It was ex- pected today, in view of the withdrawal of the deputy sheriffs yesterday, and the proclamation by the mayor, asking the citizens to conduct themselves in an or- derly manner, that the rallway syslem would be in operation throughout the city before night. Should the regular police show them- selves able to cope with the situation, the militia will be gradually withdrawn. The company considers the new ten-hour Jaw unconstitutional and the Merchants' assoclation bas requested the attorney gen- ercl to take measures to have the law tested In the courts. HYMENEAL.

WASHINGTON, June 14.—~(Special Tele- gram.)—The contest that has been woged between the members of the Minnesota dele- gation on the one hand and South Dakota delegation on the other over the ratifica- tion of the treaty providing for the payment to the Yankton Sloux of South Dakota of $100,000 for the famou pipestone quarries in Minnesota will probably culminate in the reference of this matter to the court of claims. A strong effort was made in the last session and repeated in this to induce congress to ratify the ttreaty, but It has falled. The senate committée on Indlan affairs has made an adverse report oh the treaty. The question at feeue is to the title of the Bouth Dakota Indians to the reservation. Those who are opposing the treaty contend that the Indlans only have An easement. On behalf of the Indians it is claimed that their title is & valld one and should be beyond dispute. tL is this point which the court of clalms will be asked to determine. The senate today agreed to the house ameddments to the irrigation bill, which now goes to the president for his signature.

WOULD MAKE CUBA A STATE Senator Elkins Introduces a Joint mission of Island. WASHINGTON, June 14.—8enator Elkins today introduced a joint resolution in the senate providing for the annexation of Cuba and for its admission as a state of the union. The resolution grants the consent of congress to the erection of the republlc of Cuba as a state of the union, “to be called the state of Cuba, With a republican form of government, to be adopted by the ple of said republic by deputies in con~ vention assembled, with the consent of the existing government.™ A condition is specified that the con- stitution of the proposed state shall be submitted to congress not later than Jan- uAry 1, 1904. There also is a provision t the debts of Cubs shall not become 2 charge upon the general goverament. There is also an alternative provision giv- ing the president authority, if he prefers, to proceed in a mote direct way for Cuba's admission as a state. This provision per- mits the admission under thé terms of the resolution itself, “‘instead of oroceeding to submit the resolution to Cuba as an ov ture on the part of the United States. If this latter course is pursued, a state is to be formed, “out of the present re- public of Cuba, with a republican form of government and with representatives in congress and to be admitted into the union by this act, on an equal footing with the existing states as soon as the terms and conditions of such admission shall be agreed upon by the governments of the republic of Cuba and the United States.” The resolution provides for the appro- priation of $100,000 to carry its provisions into eftect.

Lynch, who was elected member of Parliament for Galway in November last, was arrested at New Haven Wednesday, upon landing in England. Mrs. Lynch and other friends of the accused were present. The solicitor general, Sir Bdward Carson, in opening for the prosecution, alluded briefly to Colonel Lynch's Australian birth, his residence in Paris and his departure thence to the Transvaal in January, 1900. “The case for the prosecution,” sald Sir Edward, “will be that on arriving in South Africa Lynch took service with the Transvaal government, raised a regiment, of which he acted as commander, to fight in behalf of the Boers and actively fought against General Buller's operations. “Mr. Lynch was in Pretoria January 1, 1900, the solicitor continued, “and wrote to the Transvaal authorities notifylng them of his desire fo take up arms. Jan- uary 18 he signed a field cornet's certifi- cate, describing himself as an Irishman, a British subject and born in Australla, but declaring his willingness to fight for the South African republic In order to maintain and defend its independence. Takes Oath of Allegiance. “Lynch aleo took the oath of alleglance as a full burgher, the certificate enabling him to do so well as acceot a commis- sion from the Transvaal government. Lynch then ralsed the so-called Irish brigade, joined the invading army in Natal and issued an appeal signed ‘Arthur Lynch, colonel, Irish brigade,’ inviting Irishmen to assist the two republics.” Hon. Charles Russell, second son of the late lord chief justice, Baron Russell of Killowen, {n behalt of the defendant, sald | that Lynch had faced the proceedings like & man. What he had done had been done openly and he desired to facllitate the in- | quiry as much as possible. After the police had furnished evidence of the prisoner's arrest he was remanded to June 21. During the course of this evi- dence Detective Inspector Walsh testified to finding In Colonel Lynch's possession a visiting card of Hamliton Holt, “introduc- Ing Colonel Lynch of the Boer army to three Americans, Hardy, United Btates minlst bert W.
