LONDON, June 26.—Midnight—Those mround King Edward coutinue to be as- [tonished at his rapid recovery. The slightly annoying symptoms mentioned in the bul- letin lssued at 11 o'clock tonight are quite inconsequential compared to the fact, which the Associated Press has learned, that his majesty again took food tonight and was afterward allowed to smoke a cigar. Queen Alexandra sat with her husband mll the evening and only left him after he /bad fellen into peaceful sleep. Mention by the king's doctors of the reare with which food is administered to the royal patient and of the return of pain in the wounl can eafely be taken as .n earnestness of their conscientious intention to make public the slightest adverse symp- [tom, however unimportant. The king's courage and good temper are jremarkable and today he personally wrote lweveral telegrams and one or two notes. As evidence of the king's persistent re- |fusel to eftace himself from his connection |with state affairs and in corroboration of {the statement that the physiclans are .sat- isfled with their patlent's condition, the Associated Press legrns that besides per- |sonally opening telegrams Wednesday even- ing, King Bdward then insisted upon a {full inspection of the honor list. There was one appointment of considerable im- iporiance which had not been definitely decided at that time. The king approved this nomination and gave the final order to the department interested, thus saving one of the reciplents of honors from severe disappointment. King Better in Every Way. Tonight King Edward is better In every y than he was last night or this morning. m return of pain in his wound is not accompanied by any appreciable increase .of temperature. In fact, King Bdward’ doctors are inclined to regard the patien pain and his appetite as healthy symptom: _although with the reserve they have mal {tained throughout they refrain from com- jmenting thereon. To these hopes of a tavorable lsrue of the |king's illness no less an authority then the queen glves encouragement. Writing to the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph C. Dimsdale, toda§ to thank him for his ex- pressions of the sympathy of the city of 'London, Queen Alexandra says through her 'secretary: “The queen rejoices to think that the [bulletin of this morning gives a favorable report of the king.” Following the expressed desire of the princeé of Wales the arrangements for il- luminating the eity, Which involved the costly erection of set pleces for electric and gas lights, will be allowed to remain and will be utillzed “immediately it is au- Iy announced the king s out of By the king's personal desire (ho royal pardons of offenders in the army will go into effect just as {f the coronation had oc- curred. The last Intimation suitably brings to a close the day which was to have been notable in English history and which from the viewpoint of the pulibe hae paesed in that mediocrity which is at- tached to all things that are neither wholly \good nor wholly bad. Litanies Out of Place. The most striking feature of coronation |day, as it {8 still called, was the universal substitution of services of intercession for !those of rejoicings. These services oc- 'curred throughout the country and on |board the great fleet that lies unreviewed ia Portsmouth harbor. Yet even these /facked pathetic and dramatic element. In | the face of today's favorable bulletins ts and litanies are obviouely out of pla | erowds which p night tonight evidently appr |they did mot “mafick,” but there was a {general sense of rejolcing, Wwhich even ' with the most unruly section failed to be- !eome Inordinate. All along the Strand, was thronged with crowds of people, who usually confined themsclves to taking a farewell look at the decorations gradually disappearing from the front of Buckingham palace. Only a slim gathering awalted the night bulletin and when that was posted the royal residence, save for & few stragglers, became deserted. Inside the palace the members of the royal tamily spent a quiet evening and the num- ber of callers was smaller than any night this week. With the favorable progress of the king there ls much discussion as to Bow the coronation will be effected. While Dothing has in Any way been definitely set- tled, it appears that Kjng Edward is likely to celebrate this event very quietly and with m ly the ceremony that attends the opening of Parllament. This consists of a drive dlrect to West- minster abbey, accompanied by a emall cort, and a speedy return to Buckingham palace, and it is rumored that no forelgn princes or ®uvoys will be specially invited for the ocecasion. All this is, of cou quite ie the air, but it forms one of the chiet toplcs of London's dally conmver Hundreds of visitors to London, es- peclally Americans and people from the country, flocked to Westminster abbey to- day and until late at night curlous and Tather tricks crow of spectators stood gas! t the place where Edward VII should have been crowned. The artificial coronatioh ampex, which is one of the few parts of the abbey mnot hidden by stands, attracted epecial attention.

Owing to « g, of the nffection and the character dressings used it 18 inevitaoie that hi§ ™ valescence should be somewhat prolonges we believe that If no complications arise there is no reason to fear his re- covery will not be complete. The condition of the parts made clear at the operation was such as to assure the physicians that the abscess was due to one of those unexplained inflammations which occur with remarkable frequency in the neighborhood of the vermiform appendix and that it was not due to any organic dis- ease of a more sérious nature or to any mallgnant growth, us rumor has suggested. U'p~to the present there is o indication of the occurrence of any complication and should none arise his majesty may live for many years, The Lancet, while declaring it is imposst ble to disguise the serlousness of the king's condition, says: It fs our joyful privilege to be able to counteract flatly some of the sinister mo- tives which have been prevalent for the last forty-eight hours throughout the world. The idea that some dreadful news ie being kept back ought to be dispelled and abso- lute sincerity of every ~bulletin issued should prevent the public from heeding these wild rumors. His majesty is suffer- ing from perityphlitis and nothing else. Un- fortunately the symploms of perityphlitis may be entirely masked and it was that that absolutely prevented the necessity of an operation from being apparent until yes- terday. The Lancet declares that there was no symptom of malignancy in the king's case. Opinien of Dr. Murphy. NEW YORK, June 26.—Dr. John B. Murphy of Chicago, dean of the faculty of Rush Medical college, has telegraphed to the New York Medical Journal the follow- ing statement regarding King Edward: The offictal bulletins are very vague the doctors do not whether the perityphiitic abscess was due to appendicitls, carcinoma or perforai- ing ulcer. They infer that it was ap- pendicitis, but the clinical facts for five duys ‘preceding the operation do not cor- respond with the Inference, it be an appendical perityphlitis, opened and drained with no attempt at removal of the appendix, his chances of recovery, allowing for his age and mode of living, should be 87 per cent. Even if he hEs a gangrene of a small area of the caecum from a periapendical abscess, his chances of recovery should be good, unless the infection be very virulent. Oné would infer from the mild symptoms the day previous to the operation that it was not violent, 1f the perityphlitis abscess be from a perforating ulcer of the caecum, the rognosis is more grave, for these perforat- ng ulcers are grave in themselves, par- ticularly the tubercular. If the perforat- ing occurred through a malignant ulcer his chances of recovery would be ve'fi & A meager, as a resection of the capul-col would be demanded. This is such a loni and grave operation that he could scarcely withstand it, as it would Involve an im- mediate risk’ of 40 to 43 per cent. Most Logical Assumption. The assumption that the abscess is of appendical origin is the moat logical from his symptoms of pain and syncope on the fifth or sixth day preceding the ope: There was every reason for his physic withholding from the operation as long as ossible. 1f the diagnosis of appendicitis ad been made early it is probable the operation would have been performed im- mediatel. the concensus of opinion of the American medical and surgical pro- fession is that the immediate operation, that is, the operation within the first twen- ty-four hours aftér the inset of symptoms, gives the best results and subects the patient to the jeast risk. There s a unanimity of. opinion in the profession that no ore, no ter how fa- millar with the disease, to p from the early symptoms what will be the subsequent course of the disease. It is therefore incumbent upon the profession to operate early to avold the probability of later and more dangerous pathologic conditfons. Medical treatment is uncertain, inefficient and hazardous and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by this method of treatment. In Chicago alone in the last three years there have been 762 deaths from appendicitis. What a colossal crime. What an indulgent and forebearing public {o tolerate such results from the medical profession. On this basis there should be no perityphlitis of appendicular origin, as all should be operated upon before that stage. TALK OF MEXICAN RAILROADS Some New Ones Old Ones Probability. ot 3trong MONTEREY, Mex., June 26.—Vice Presi- dent and General Manager Nickerson of the Mexican Central has sald in an interview that a short line to the United States border, which would poesibly extend to San Antonlo, Tex., is practically a certalnty, al- though he denled that a definite move in this direction has been arranged. “We have arranged,” sald Mr. Nickerson, “to bulld 300 miles of road between Tampico and the terminus of the recently acquired Honey llne, extending out of the City of Mexico. To use this, in connection with the gulf division, as an outlet to the states will give us as short a line at least as the National." President W. G. Raoul of the Natlonal rallroad of Mexico, who is on a tour of inspection of that system, while disclalm- ing any knowledge of definite steps being taken in that direction, has admitted that the consolldation of the national and inter- in the near future is prob- POWDER MAGAZINE EXPLODES Located Five Miles from Madrid, but Force Throws Open Doors of Palace. MADRID, June 26.—A gunpowder magn- zine at the encampment of Carabanchel, five miles from here, exploded this morn- tog. Two men were killed and fourteen injured. The shock wi felt for miles. Scores of houses were damaged, the doors of the royal palace were thrown open by the force of the explosion and many win- dows were smashed. The king, accompanied by members of his household, joined the crowd which hurried | to the scene in order to ascertaln the ex- tent of the damage. YACHT OWNER IS IN PRISON Edward 8. N. Dix of New York Inm Stealt NEW YORK, June 26.—Owner of two yachts and a member of the New York Athletic club, Edward 8. N. Dix 1is locked {up in the Tombs, having been indicted on the charge of stealing $500 from Julia; Buckley, president of an advertising and owner of considerable real estat, Buckley alleges that a large sum is m! ing from his rent roll. The alleged short- age was discovered in the course of a dam- sge sult by Buckley against one of the rapld transit contractors for encroachment. The court demanded figures showing the amount in which the bulldings had been damaged. Dix, who, Buckley alleges, had entire control of the property, was on a yachting trip. The books were examined and al- leged discrepancies were discovered which led to the arrest of Dix, & ENDS FIGHT AT SIeUX CITY Efforts at a Compromise in the Postoffice Oontest Come to Naught. BILL TO PROTECT THE WATER HOLES ave of Colonel Stotsenberg in Need 4; Tepairs and Former Com- /,"o,,' Asked to Make Small 5, o, N atributions. e WASHING.ON, June 26.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The controversy over the Sloux nomination of G. Badgerow, Congressman Thomas having sent his name to the post- master general today for nomination by the president. The present postmaster, Mr. Helser, has made a most enviable record and had the support of a very large num- ber of patrons of the office, but he was a friend of Mr. Perkins of the Sioux City Journal, and Mr. Thomas could not see his way clear to the reappointing of a friend of the man who has sald some hard things against the congressman from the Eleventh district. Mayor Caldwell of Sioux City re- cently was in Washington on a still hunt for the purpose of having Mr. Thomas ap- point a compromise candidate in the person of L. L. Kellogg, president of the Commer- clal club of Sloux City. It was understood that the men who were backing Badgerow were favorable to this scheme, but when the test came, however, the men upon whom Thomas relles in the Eleventh district could mot see their way clear to endorsing Mr. Kellogg, and the bottom having fallen out of the attempt to bring harmony in the ranks of Sloux City republicans, Mr. Thomas took the bull by the horns today and sent in Badgerow's name. Charles Rigg of Beatrice, who has been in the city for some time past and who on Decoration day laid a wreath of flowers upon Colonel Stotsenberg's grave in Ar- lington as a tribute from the boys of Com- pany C of Beatrice, found that the grave of the late colonel of the Firet Nebr: who dled in battle in the Philippines, wi not sufficiently protected and that it needs a new base stone to shield It from the weather. Accordingly he has written a general letter to the men of the First Ne- braska calling upon them for a slight centri- bution of 10 or 16 cents each for the pur- pose of purchasing a base stone to be placed upon Colonel Stotsenberg's grave. Mrs. Stotsenbers, who bas erected a modest monument to her late husband’s memory, is not able to repair the grave as it should be and Mr. Rigg has taken it upon himself to bring this matter before the men who were with Stotsenberg dur- ing the Philippine campalgn. Pass Water-Hole Bill. Late last night Senator Gamble secured the passage of a blll to regulate the use by the public of reservoir es located upon public lands of the United States, and the senator holds the record for the speediest legislation that has been ac- complished in a number of sessions. He introduced the bill on the 23d, it being re- ferred to the committee on public lands. The day after it was reported by the com- mittee without amendment and one the evening of the next day it was passed. The bill is largely in the interest of rallroads in the Black Hills as it is designed to pro- tect watering places for shippers of cat- tle in their drives across the reservation in reaching railroad points. The legisla- tion is needed for the reason that the use- fulness of watering places for live stock that {s belng driven to ‘shipping stations is very much impaired by the fact that local’ range stock will habitually graze upon the grass in the immediate vicinity of these watering places, thereby destroying all forage in the immediate vicinity thereof, leaving nothing for the use of herds that are belng driven te market. The purpose of the bill which passed the semate yes- terday, and which has been reported to the house, Is to reserve an area represented by a radius of two miles immediately around thess watering places from continual graz- ing by local herds, so that the grass may not be entirely destroyed. The bill is re- stricted so as to confine it to reservations eonstructed and maintained as watering places in connection with the driving and transportation of live stock and provides that the act shall not in any way interfere with the entry of any portion of the pub- He lands under the general laws of the United States. The bill confirming in the state of South Dakota the title to sections of land he tofore granted to that state, the proceeds of the e of which, if sold, are to be used in aid of the militla of the state of South Dakota, passed the house today. The bill now goes to the president for signa- ture. Pushing Hot Springs Sanitarium. Captain H. E. Palmer of Omaha, mem- ber of the Natlonal Board of Soldlers’ Homes, is In Washington on his way to attend a meeting of the board which is to be held in New York next Saturday. Ca, tain Palmer stated that it was his inten- tion to secure the appointment of a com- mittee to go to Hot Springs, S. D., for the purpose of locating the site for the new sanitarium to be erected at that place, and he hoped that the work of building the structure would be commenced this year. The Rosebud treaty bill, about which 80 much hes been sald and’ written, will not be taken up at the present session of congress, leaders of the house having de- termined to permit no treaty legislation carrylng an appropriation to pass this ses- sion. In some particulars it s thought this decision will be of benefit to South Dakota, as it will give ample time should the bill pass early at the next session for the issuance of the proclamation and get- ting things in readiness for opeming the reservation to settlment. Instead of work- ing a hardship it is believed it would be vastly better to have the reservation opened in May or June of next year than to have it opened in the very late fall of this year. J. U. Moaroe and wife of Omaha are in the eity. Postmasters appointed: Nebraska—Jacob Frabm, Malmo, Saunders county, vice J. P. Frostrom, resigned. lowa—Alburn Gask- ell, Dawson, Dallas county; Nettie C.

Spaw, White Owl, Meade county; Hester Harkness, ‘Wyatt, Aurora county. The comptroller of the currency today approved the application of E. S. Kelly, W. W. Stewart, K. G. Stewart, C. A. Kelly and W. 8. G. Robinson to organize the Hot Springs National bank of Hot Springs, S. D., with §25,000 capital. Miss Nellle Cobb of Tomah, Wis., has been appointed a cook at the Winnebago Indtan school, in Nebraska, and Edward M. E.

J., June 26.—At & meeting tonight in which were delegates from all branches of the silk industry here It was voted not to order a genersal strike in sym- pathy with that of the dyers' heleprs. A full consideration was given the matter and the vote stood: Agalnst a strike, 12; In favor of a strike, 8. The Socialist Trade and Labor alllance withdrew and did not vote T hevotes in favor of a general strike | were cast by the Dyers' Helpers' unfon and {the Broad Silk Weavers' union, 4 each. | Those who voted against were the Ribbon Weavers' union, Warpers' and Loom Fix- ers’ unions, 4 each. It was generally argued that thousands | out of work at this time would do no good and would hasten the end of the dyers’ help- | ers’ strike. It was contended that it would be better for those whe could work to do €0 and contribute toward the financial sup- port of those now out. 1t 1s expected that many weavers and oth- ers who have not worked since a week ago will now return to the looms, the step hav- ing the approval of the trades’ unions. At a meeting earlfer in the day Strike Chairman McGrath made a bitter speech against the presence in the city of the mil- itla. He claimed the loeal police were suf- ficlent to preserve order. He demanded that the soldiers be sent home and went so far as to attack their habits. The speech at- tracted the more attention because hereto- fore McGrath has been very mild in his ut- terances and counselled against any vio- lence. Governor Murphy is expected here tomor- Tow to look over the situation. He will con- fer with Mayor Hinchcliffe, General Camp- bell and Captain Billson of the police. The governor will withdraw the troops or allow them to remain as the city authorities say. He may also grant a hearing to the mill- owners. POSTAL GETS THE CONTRACT Service of r Fif- i To Control Telegraph Pennsylvania Road teen Years. PHILADELPHIA, June 26.—First Vice President John P. Greeneé of the Pennsyl- vania rallroad today confirmed the state- ment that the directors of the company, at thelr meeting yesterday, approved the agreement whereby the Postal Telegraph company will control the telegraph service ot the Pennsylvania company east of Pitts- burg and of the Erie for fifteen years, be- ginning December 1 next. Mr. Greene stated that it now remains for the directors of the Postal company to ratify the contract. He further stated that as soon as the present contract be- tween the Pennsylvania railroad and the Western Union Telegraph company affect- ing the lines west of Pittsburg and Erie expires a contract will be made with the Postal company similar to the one approved yesterday. It is said the contract for the western Iines will not expire for several years. The eastern contract has already expired and the Western Union tompany has been given six months' time from June 1 within which to remove its poles and wirss, from the rallroad company’'s property. .

DENVER, June 26.—Six special tralns rived today from the east. The convention proper will open this afternoon. A prepar- atory service of prayer and hymns was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Cen- tral Presbyterian church and at 3:30 o'clock a memorial service for the late B. F. Jacobs of Chicago, chairman of the executive com- mittee, was held In the Central Presbyterian church. The following official statement has been prepared by the international Sunday school lesson committee. It appears from petitions recelved and from press notices that there is an entire misunderstanding concerning the attitude of the lesson committee toward the quar- terly temperance lesson. The committee desires to say, first, that it has faithfully carried out the Instruc- tions of the convention and prepared the quarterly temperance lesson; second, that it has never contemplated or discussed at any meeting since its appointment any proposition looking to the discontinuance of the quarterly temperance lesson or any modification of the instructions received from the convention; and, thirdly, that the lesson committee has no infention of recommending to the convention any mod- ification of the present instructions con- cerning the temperance lesson.

Miriam Berger against the United States Steel corporation to restrain the conversion of $200,000,000 worth of pre- terred stock into a lke amount of bonds wase resumed in the court of errors today. Counsel for Mrs. Berger made an exhaustive argument and was closely questioned by members of the court. He contended that the act of 1902, which was passed last win- ter, to permit the company to carry out its | purpose was clearly unconstitutional, and | that no right existed under the general cor- poration act to reduce the preferred stock of a corporation without payment for the same In cash; that the present plan of sub- | stituting bonds for preferred stocks was an injustice to those holders of preferred stock that had not been substituted.

HARVARD TAKES FOUR-OARED RACE Freshmen's Contest Proves a Dead Heat by Crew of Harvard Mak- ing Magnificent Spurt Near End of Course. NEW LONDON, June 26.—Rowing within ten seconds of record time the Yale ‘varsity crew this afternoon lowered the colors of the fastest elght that Harvard has yet pro- duced. Yale won by four boat lengths. Yale's time was 20:20, Harvard's 20:33. In the four-oared race the colors of Har- vard were borne to the front. The Cam- bridge four wonm by two and one-half lengths. In the freshmen race Yale's crew led over the last mile until within a few feet of the finish, where the Harvard crew by a mag- nificent spurt jumped their snell up even with the blue. The judges were compelled to decide that the race was a draw. Twenty-five thousand people saw the Eli's row to victory in the big But while the crowd was great it was the presence of President Roosevelt which made the crowd unique in the history of Yale and Harvard races. The president saw the finish of all three races from aboard Dolphin, which was anchored just above the finish line. He declined the invitation ‘of the regatta committee to go aboard Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt's launch, Mirage, preferring. he sald, to remain aboard Dolphin, where he could be with his family. The eyes of 25,000 people mean- while searched yacht after yacht In the hope of a glimpse of the president. Good Weather Finally Comens. After a stormy night and a morning which scemed to mean postponement of the races until Friday, the afternoon finally be- came a cloudless day of almost perfect weather for shell racing. The wind blew quartering on the course from the north- west, but with the exception of the 'varsity four-oar race the crews could not have had much better water. More yachts than ever before in the quarter of a century of Yale- Harvard races on the broad Thames were anchored along the last mile and a half of the course, forming a solid avenue and fill- ing the river from bank to bank with a glorious tinge cf colors, which above the blue waters of the Thames made a beautiful pleture against the cloudless sky. The closeness of the ‘varsity race brought out the greatest crowd of Yale and Harvard graduates and undergraduates that has ever come to New London, while the pres- ence of the president brought to the river the people for many miles around. Rough water nesessitated the postponement of the ‘varsity race from 4 until 6 o'clock. The ‘varsity four-oared race was rowed a few minutes before 3 o'clock. The wind at this time was blowing a gale and Referee Willlam A. Melkleham decided to postpone the freshman race and also to postpone the ‘vareity race. A quarter before 6 o'clock the referee steamed over the course in Mr. August Belmont's launch, Scout, and blew a long blast of the whistle. notifying the crews to get ready. The long observation trains on either bank of the river were by this time fiylng alongside of the starting flag. Filled from end to end, not an empty seat, the two big trains, bearing over 5,000 people, were bright with the gowns of pretty. women and the colors of i{arvard and Yale. Mighty cheers resounded among the green hills of Montvills and Gales Ferry as the Harvard elght rowed over to the start, five minutes before & o'clock. Shells Leap Away. Yale was a trifle slow in leaving its boat- house and Referee Melkleham notified the El a second time. By 6:07 both crews were at their boats. Enthustasm on the observation train was so great that the quiet so that the crews might hear the pistol shots. At 6:09 the pistol was fired and the two big shells leaped away from thelr stakeboats. Harvard got the best of the start and In ten strokes had the nose of its shell a quarter of a length ahead of the Blues' boat. The crimson's eight had the best water over the first quarter mile and its men made all out of it that they pos- sibly could. Harvard started at thirty-six strokes to the minute, Yale at thirty-two. By the end of the first half mile Harvard had dropped its stroke to thirty-four, while Yale still held its stroke at thirty-two. At the half mile flag the boats were almost even. The watches on the referee's boat recorded Yale's time for this half mile at 2:29%, Harvard at 2:29%. Yale had cut down Harvard's lead while rowing from two to four less strokes to the minute. Over the next half mile the race was a crews. The boats zigzagged for a minute and a half, and then the blue shell began to creep ahead. Yale reached the first mile flag in 5:04, two seconds before Har- vard. The Elis were two-thirds of a length ahead. Yale had dropped fits stroke to thirty-one per minute and, Harvard had let its stroke down to thirty-two. It had been a terrible fight, but Yale had finally gotten the lead. From the end of the first mile to the mile and a half flag the boats scarcely changed positions. Harvard it stroke one point, and so did Yale. The blue shell finished the mile and & half in | 7:37. Harvard in 7:39%. Over this dis- tance Yale had gained but halt a second. On toward the two-mile flag the powerful eights swung with mechanical precision at the pace of glants. Harvard dropped its stroke back to thirty-twe, and now thi two strokes swung in exact unisom. But all the while the Yale shell kept creeping a little bit ahead. Yale was leading Harvard by four seconds. Yale's time was 10:11, Harvard's 10:15. | Whistles and sirens at the navy yard shrieked out a welcome to the oarsmen as they swung down the mext half mile. The rovenue cutter Gresham in the excitement of the moment lifted its anchor and started to follow the crews despite the entreaties of the referee and regatta committee to keep back. Yale eased up & bit on its stroke and dropped it down to thirty-one Harvard seelng Yale relax jumped its up to thirty-four. But despite this spurt Yal picked up another second between the mile and the two-and-a-balf-mile flags. Yal time for the two-and-a-half flag was 12:12, Harvard's 12:17, Over the next mile the Blues picked up Just another second in the struggle for su- premacy. At the three-mile Y led by two good lengths, its time betng 15:10 and Harvard’s 15:16. Then Yale raised its stroke to thirty-two and Harvard in a des- perate effort to hold its own kept its at thirty-four.

ONLY TWO PERSONS KILLED Property Loss in Indiana Tornado Estimated at One Million Dollars. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 26.—Returns carefully gathered by the News indicate that the tornado which swept across the state from northwest to southwest yester- day was the most destructive storm that has visited the state since 1877. The path of destruction extended for about 150 miles and varied in width from three to six miles. In this path factories from their foundations, windows and doors crushed by the force of the wind. thousands of acres of growing crops were torn to pleces or cut into shreds by the ball and barns were demolished. Cattle were killed and injured, machinery ‘was wrecked, forests were twisted and bent and broken by the fury of the gale and telegraph and telephone poles were snapped off and the wires scattered in confusion along the highways and the lines of rail- way. Great as the damage was and tense as the fury of the storm, it is remarkable that only two persons were killed—James Van Hoy, & young man of 22, crushed in a | falling barn at Pendleton, and James | Balley, a farmer, caught in the wreck at McCordsville. A conservative estimate of the total damage in the path of the storm places it in the nelghborhood of $1,000,000.

COLUMBUS, O., June 26.—An extra ses- slon of the Ohio legislature now seems cer- tain. The supreme court during the present week has held a number of important laws to be' invalid. Decisions handed down today held the Cleveland city governmet to be unconsti- tutional, and also a special law enacted for the city of Toledo, taklng the control of the police out of Mayor Jones' hands. The court in the Trauger case directs Governor Nash to appoint & lieutenant gov- ernor. Lieutenant Governor Nippert wai appointed probate Judge of Hamllton county | and President Pro Tem Archer of the senate was supposed to succeed the lieutenant gov- ernor. The contentlon of Trauger that thers 1s a vacancy in the office s sustained. The court also sustained the validity of | the Royer act, which limits the jurisdiction of the supreme court to & certain class of cases and takes away 95 per cent of its jurisdletion in appeal cases. It is the opinion of state officials that an extra session of the legislature will have to be calied to stralghten out these matters.

PROMISE SUPPORT TO BOILER MAKERS Men Say strike Wil Company Recognises Union Grants Increase of Wages at Once. Come Unless a Unfon Pacific boller makers who are om strike from now on will have the staunch support and co-operation of the machinist many of whom are idle by virtue of the company’s action In reducing its shop force and all of whom will be idle by thelr owz volition 1f the company rejects iemands which they expect to priwcnt today. In view of the united action of the boiler | makers and machinists the strike assumes graver aspects and promises a severe and probably prolonged struggle unless terms can be reached very soon. 4 The workmen are lining up for battle. Besides the membere of the machinists' ex- ecutive committee two national officers of the union are in the city and will take matters {n their own hands. D. W. Rode- rick of Chicago, manager of the assoclated districts, which comprise all the machinists* unions of the western roads, and T. L. Wilson, fourth vice president of the na- tional organization, with headquarters at St. Paul, are on the grounds. Mr. Roderick will remain a day or two counselling over the situation and the affairs will then be placed under direction of Mr. Wilson. May Strike Today. Since the arrival of these men {t is learned that If the Unifon Pacifio fails or refuses to grant the demands of the ma- chinists a strike may be declared within twenty-four hours, which will be general over the entire system. Their demands are precisely those submitted and rejected at former conferences and pertain first to the recognition of the union and the employ- ment of none but union men and second to an increase in wages. Furthermore, the company will be Informed that the men protest against plece work and will mot submit to that system. This statement was made to a reporter for The Bee Thursday evening: ““The machinists’ union is in this fight for its rights. It wants to jeopardize no in- terests of the Union Pacific nor those of any other concern or Individual. It simply secks fair play and must have it. 'We belleve the Union Pacific will hear us and will treat fairly with us. When the ‘boiler makers, machinists and the offictals get together we look for an amicable set- tlement of the whole trouble. But, on the other hand, we are prepared for a battle If it cannot be averted. Our unfon every- where Is eager for a strike if that is neces- sary. If you could see the messages that are constantly coming to us you could ap- preciate the unanimity of sentiment In standing out for our rights. Unton Prepared Finanecially, “We will be prepared financlally for a bitter struggle. All our local unions have | proftered liberal support and we can de- pend upon the national organization, which | 1s, by the way, in excellent financial condi- tion. We hope a strike can be averted This question was asked the machinist “If the railroad company grants the ma- chinists' demands and agrees to restors them to work will the fact that the boller makers are still out and their demands 1g- nored deter the machinists from accepting the company’s concessions aud quietly re- turning to their work? “We will, first and last, refuse to work with ‘scab’ botler makers,” was the reply. “/And there is mo other way by which the rallroad company can fill the boller makérs' places and retain harmony than by employ- ing union boiler makers. Of course, it is taken for granted that the shops canmot operate without boiler makers." Expect to See Officials at Once. The machinists expect to meet the offi cials of the road today or tomorrow. Whi ever this conference takes place they will demand that every non-union machinist and helper in the service of the Union Pacific be discharged ,and the places filled with union men. Asked how soon a strike would be de- clared it the machinists falled to make terms with the company, & prominent rep- resentative of the union replied: ‘‘Pos- sibly within twenty-four hours."” It is not probable that the company will accede to the demand of the machin! that all nonunion employes be disch g It takes the position that the union shall not dictate terms to it, nor will it dictate terms to the union. Its officials maintain that the Union Pacific has not and is not now fighting the unions. It employs union and non-union men, but a majority of the former, and has always been known as a union road. Car Bullders Hold The car bullders and officials are still de- liberating over the requests of the former. A conference of two hours was held y day morning and another one In the afternoon. The situation o Omaha has been covered and those of outside poluts are to be taken up next. Another meeting may be necessary to complete the work. Both sides seem satisfled with the prog- ress of eveuts and it is still belleved that an amicable adjustment of differences will be reached. The length of time consumed in arriving at a conclusion is due to the very complicated schedules under whica the car bullders work. The bollermakers were emcouraged yes- terday morning by a report from Evanstan ying the Unlon Pacific had spproached bollermakers there with a proposition te take them back if they would return or give them the alterpative of taking their time Conference. |checks and leaving the company's empley entirely. The men chose th bollermakers also affirm that tactics have been adopted he: number of their men have been offered as bigh as 35 cents an hour by the company if they would return to work. But all refused. This Is taken by the bollermakers as an indication of the company's willing- ness to settle the strike, even it at the strikers' owa terms.
