IN WATKltV OHAVKS.

Run WISH, Minn., July 15.—Fully 110 poople lost thoir lives by tho disaster 011 Lake Pepin Sunday afternoon and tho total may roach 1-5 or 1!10. Soveral persons who wore aboard tho Illfated Sea Wing are missing and it ia thought that tliay have found watory graves.

Tho Soa Wing, with a party of 200 excursionists on board, was returning to this city from tho encampment of tho First Regiment Minnesota National Guard, where tho day had been spent. Many among the passengers feared an approaching storm and askod tho captain to postpone his departure. Thinking that the storm would not prove sorious he would not consent, but about o'clock started lip tholuko toward Rod Wing, nearly all of tho 200 passongors being on ooard.

Tho wind was blowing a gale, into tho tooth of which t.ho Soa Wing trlod to make her way- A. point of land runs out from tho Minnesota shore just abovo this place, across from what is known as Maiden rock. To pass around this point it was necessary for tho stoainor to turn slightly toward the Wisconsin shore, and tho hurricane immediately seized hold of tho vessel and twisted her out of tho control of her engines and crow. An attempt to boach hor failed and she wont over with hor groat load of passengers. Tho barge Jim Grant, which was in tow and on which about one-quarter o" tho oxcursionists had crowded, was also struck, hor awning being crusliod in and t"ho passengers thrown into tho water.

This happened just below tho point, and as the helpless hulks drifted before tho gale tho steamer righted herself for a moment, but again keeled over, and was so badly buttered by tho storm that sho lay helpless. Tho barge had broken loose from the steamer and drifted down opposite the town, and those still on board, about twenty in number, were rescued. The steamer drifted in back of the point and stink with most of those on board. Many were navod, howevor, and the heroism displayed In many cases was remarkable. Corporal H. L. Perry, of St. Paul, compelled spectators to assist him, and saved the lives of eightoen of those who were still clinging to tho wrock. lie went out on the lake when tho storm was nt its height, others following him, and over sixty were rescued from whatseemen certain death. Small boats cruised around for several hours i.:id picked up about three-score Strug' gling victims of tlu* storm.

As soon as word of tho calamity reached tin-camp volunteers wero called for and everybody offered to assist in rescuing the living or searching for tho dead. Adjntaht-Genoral Mullen immediately took charge of tho regiment and the work was bogun. Hodies of men, women and children—in some cases of whole families— wore taken from the water. Some wore alive, others unconscious and others dead. An invaluable aid in tho work both of resuscitation and of laying out the dead was rendered by the oxcollout ambulance corps, which had boen but recently organized.

As fast as the bodies wero takon from tho water they were identified by mourning friends and relatives and placed in cotlins for transportation to their homes, lly 2 o'clock a. m. iifty bodies li.ul been recovered, identified and sent to Red Wing. Ily 8 o'clock eight more had taken tbo same journey, and at o'clock Monday afternoon seven others were added to tho numbor.

Major Fitzgerald, surgeon of tho regiment who had charge of tho hospital corps and also of tho arrangomonts for tho handling of tho bodies, says that death was very quick in every caso, and that there was scarcely any evidence of thero having been any strugglo on the part of the dying. Neithor had any of the bodies any bruises or other marks of injury upon them. Death was quick and comparatively painless.

After the last isxlios had boen taken from the wreck General Mullen prossod into service all tho rowboats within reach, and, with four soldiers in oach boat, began a thorough dragging of tho lake. No bodies wore found, however, and at dark search was abandoned tor the day.

The undertaking establishment hero was crowded with people nil day looking for friends whom they feared had gone down in the terrible disastor, so that one could scarcely ^-ain an entraneo. Many women were carried helpless from the building, and cusos of entire prostration were of lreqiiont occurrence. Business is completely at a standstill, the stores are all closod, and everybody is standing on tho corners talking about tho wreck.

The most, terrible tiling that has happened so far is the fate of John Gorkin and his entire family, consisting of fivo children and his wife. The wbolo family wentdown. and there are no orphans left to mourn the fate of their beloved paronts. It is all one can hear to BOO the grief-stricken men and women walking aimlessly up and down tho mournful streets.

One of the saddest cases is that of C. 11. Relidcr. the leader of tho Rohdor String Hand of Red Wing. Mr. Rehdor was on the boat with his two children, his sister, her liusbund and thoir fivo children. Rohdor himsolf was saved, but tho others perished.

The council held a meeting Monday night and appointed committees to aiti in every way possible when tho bulk of the funerals will take place, Tho bust noss men were also asked to close thoir business houses, and llags will lie strung at hulf-inast on all public buildings for throo days. A public momorial sorvico will probably be hold Sunday.

Captain Wotliorn, proprietor and com' mander of tho Soa Wing, has been sevoroly hlainod by citizens and others for what they allogo to hnvo boen crlm* inal negligenco on his part in pulling out into tho lako with such a crowd when the sky looked so threaten' ing. Tho captain's wifo aud two of his three children lost thoir Uvos un dor tho waves, and that fact, togothor with tho loss of tho vessol and the great loss of life, havo so broken him that.ho has kept protty much out of sight during tho day, and thoso who did HOC him got but imperfoct statements from him rogarding tho horror and his connection thorowith.

boen given, and both aro understood to havo c«mo from him. Tho first is that ho did not consider tho danger very groat and that ho thought ho saw a brook in the clouds, promising tho clearing away of tho storm. This is not well takon by tho people in this neighborhood, who say the sky was black with the most threatening kind of clouds, and that it was cloarly ovldqnt that a very heavy storm was about to break. Tho other oxcuso, if suoh thoso may be callod, Is that the managor of tho excursion, whoso profits wojild bo cut down by any delay in tho departure ot tho boat, was so urgont in his inslatanco upon immediate departure that the captain yielded and took his loat out to her destruction. [Tho waters of Lake Pepin arc very deep. In soma parts it is said tbo uouudlngs reach ainoty-Ovc feet. Tho lake is rcnily a widening ot the Mississippi rlvor. Ilcgtnning about thlrt miles south of the mouth of the St. Croix rlvor It ourves around like a big lotter "S," from two to three mllos In width and fourteen long. Tho Mississippi river flows Into and through It, and at Its lowor end tho Chippewa Joins its current to the Fathor ot Waters. A number of pretty villages line the base ot the blults on tho shores of Lake Pepin on both sides. Tho west bank Is In Minnesota, tbo east In Wisconsin.]

MKT DKATH IN T1IK OA1.R. ST. I'AUL, Minn., July 1 *.—Late reports of tho cyclone that visited the summer resorts in tho vicinity of St Paul Sunday afternoon confirm the earlier statements as to tho loss of life and tho damage to proporty. The work of tho tornado on tho land seems to have boon moro disastrous along Lako Gorvals' shores than elsewhere. Here tho greatest loss of lifo occurred and here also tfio damago was probably the hoavlest.

Directly in tho courso ot the storm wort) tho summer cottages of J. H. Schermoior of tho Suhurmoior Wagon Company and Simon Good. On a hill to tho north of thoso cottages wero five other cottages owned by E. L. Hastings, Davis Plcord, William Shannon, Moses Melancon and his son Frank. Tho Inmates of tho cottages saw tho storm coming for somo time before It roachod thom, but did not consider it sorious until it was right upon thom. Many ot thom ran into thoir collars at once, while otbors wont to the housos of tho neighbors. Tho tornado Btruck tho ground nt a distance ol halt a mile from tho lako and swept a swath to tho lake shore, completely destroying tho Good' and Schurmeior cotr tagos, together with their burns,-loo-housos, sheds, boat-houses, piers and board walks. Tho fivo cottages on tho bill wore badly wrecked, but not completely dostroyod.

Mr. and Mrs. Sohurmolor and thotr son Charles and five others wore killed instantly and thirty-seven persons wero injured.

Tho storm struck a French settlement half a niilo north ot Little Canada, Cpmplotoly demolishing fivo bouses. Frank Qoso's houso was dostroyod and his wifo badly hurt Lincoln J. Clark's house was dostroyod and his wifo fatally injured. Clarke received bruises and cuts. Sylvano Nodean's extensive barns, orchards and crops aro damaged to tbo oxtont of about 81,500. For half a mile along tbls road immonso forest treos were laid flat aud tho crops wore badly damaged.

At Frank Gulzko's place, on tho southeast shore of Lako Gcrvais, besides himself and family of four, there were about twonty visitors who had sought shelter thoro. Tho cyclono struck tho houso and lifted it bodily from its foundations, but fortunately not ono of the inmates were injured.

Tho sights at tho scene of the disaster beggar dosuription. Tho sltos of tho Good and Schurtuoler cottages wero marked only by thoir foundations, while thcv ground for a radius ot an acre or more is strewn with' debris of all kinds. Near tbo collar of the .Schurmeior houso lies a drive-well with twenty feet of cast-Iron pipe which was literally torn from the ground, while on the shoro of the lake, fiwly 100 feet away, is tho piano which formerly stood in the parlor of the cottage. Hugo trees, some of tliem three and a half feet In dlauiotor, have been biokon off closo to tho ground and are scattered about In all directions, and flnplings which bont boforo t!e gale stand completely Rtripped of thoir bark, and in tho lako, filty foot from shore, arc two horsos which wore curried there from tho Schurmeior stable. Chickens without a feather left on them litter tho ground, and articles of wearing apparel are to bo soon sticking in trees and bushos half a mile away. In tho swamp near tho lake shore aro a number of splintered boards sticking bolt upright like a field of corn. All along tbo road from Gorvals to Vadnais tho houses havo been more or leas datnagod somo have hnlf tho shingles all torn off the roofs, otbors their chimneys blown down and others wliolo sections of tbo buildings carried away.

Many farm-bouses wore blown down, but, so far as known, none of their Inmates wore killed, though many wero seriously bruised.

Tho storui seems to have begun near Snail lake, several n.iles northwest of Lako Gorvals and about eight uiiloa fnom St. Paul.

It proceeded slowly in its general movement and first began its work of destruction about three miles from tho Schurmeior and Good cottages by demolishing 9 barn and sovoral Windmills. Aftor tills it aeome{l to hound into tho air, striking tho earth again uoar tho hamlot of Littlo Canada, whoro the first sorious damago was dono. Again it skipped a space of about a mile, and once again lowered to tho oarth and resumed its work of destruction, its fury culminating neartbosbpro of Lako Gorvals, where fivo deaths wero caused. Onee again tho storm seemed to rebound Into tbo air, only to regain the oarth a half wllo further on, where tho ruins of the Guotzko place and tho bruised inmates wor* left to bear witness to its relentloss power. Ilore Its forco soomed to be spent and as It procoodod eastward it assumed simply tbo nature of a high wind, accompaniod by a thunder-storm. liuil as largo as medium-sized olives was ono of tbo features at White Hoar.

The cyclone which struck Littlo Canada resulted in the death of but ono porson, but ten or fifteen buildings wore wroukod and somo of tho escapes wero miraculous. Houses and barns along tbo storm's path, which was a littlo oast of tho thickest portion of tho villago, wero blown down or carried into(tbo lakos. In tho immediate vicinity of Little Canada no less than ten dwellings were wrecked.

Mr, Fryt:

I have Justroeelvod intclllKcnoc from the highest commercial authority In Havana that American flour, under the new duties Imposed by Spain, can not rcnch tho Cuban market unifor rt cost of fu.-tA per barrel, counting the shipping prlco In Now York at W.80 per'barrel. Spain holds the ssarkct for herself and Is able to send European flour at a price which totally excludes tho American flour from the markets of Cuba and Porto lUco. Other urttcles of American growth are likewise taxed by S^tin to tho point of prohibition. This one-sided, commerce will seriously Injure the shipping routes which tita still In American hands, largely if not exclusively. "It would certainly bo a very extraordinary policy on the part of our Government just at this time to opon our markot without chargo of duty to tho enormous crop* of sugar raised in tho two Spanish inlands. Cuba and Porto Uieo furnish tho United States with nearly or ipilto one-half of tho sugar which we consume, and wo arc far larger consumers than any other Nation In tbe world. To give a free market to this Immenso product of tho Spanish plantations at tho mo* ment Spain Is excluding tlio products of Amcr lean farms from her markets would bo a policy a« unprocodented as it would bo unwise. "Our trade with tho American ropubllcs as well as with the West Indian islands has been for many years in a most unsatisfactory condition. The ugKfgnte bulnncc of trade with all Latin-America in heavily against us. A sin* gle Illustration will suftlee. Since we repealed tho duty on coffee in 1H78 wc havo Inv ported the products of Hruztl to the extent of

against the protcctlvo policy

which ha injured tho most is that Its benefits go wholly to the manufacturer and tbe capitalist, and not at all to tho farmer. You and I well know that this is not true, but still it is the most plnuslblo, and therefore the most hurtful argument made by the free trader. Here is an opportunity when the farmer may bo benelltod-pri-marily, undeniably, richly benoflted.
