SNOWSTORM IN COLORADO.
•An Immense Amount of Damage Done And Probably Some Lives Lost. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., April 13.—The Cripple Creek district was visited by the severest and most destructive blizzard ever known yesterday. An immense amount of damage has been done, and in all probability some lives have been lost in the hills, rumors to that effect being in circulation, and general fear is entertained for the prospectors. Alight snow started at 11 o'clock Saturday night, and about 8 o'clock yesterday morning the storm renewed and the velocity of the wind, which was from the northeast, increased and continued to blow at the rate of 60 miles an hour all day.
A score or more of buildings in this city were blown down and tents, signs and loose lumber were scattered over town. All the telephone wires out of the camp are down, and no trains have arrived or departed.
At 1:80 the Cripple' Creek Commission, a 3-story building on Carr avenue, near the Midland depot, fell with a crash and caught fire from an overturned stove, and' was completely destroyed. The building is isolated, which prevented a general conflagration.
The Boston cafe building, at Cair and Second streets, was partially wrecked.
A large rooming house on Warren avenue was blown down about noon, and several occupants were injured.
Communication is cut off with all outside points, with the exception of one telegraph wire.
Many store fronts have been blown in and some of the business houses, as well as residences, will need repairing.
Rumors of loss of life in the outlying districts are in general oirculation. In the hills hundreds of prospectors live in tents, and the majority of them were blown away. The damage to property throughout the camp will not fall short of $100,000.
The 1:20 p. m. train over the Florence and Cripple Creek road is stalled between here and Anaconda. One of the suburban trains from Victor is stuck in the snow at Elkton. On the Midland Terminal two passenger trains are blookaded at Gillett.
A dozen buildings or more were blown down at Gillett and a number at Altman, Goldfield and Victor. Shaft houses and surface improvements all over the district were badly damaged.

STORM TEXAS
Severe Windstorm arid a Heavy Fall of Rain.
A NUMBER, OF PEOPLE INJURED.
Many Houses Blown Down and Other Property Destroyed Telegraph and Telephone Poles Prostrated and Communication Cut Off From Stany Places.
Bteavy Snowstorm in Colorado. DALLAS, April 18.—All of that part of
the state west, southwest and northwest was visited by a severe windstorm accompanied by rain Saturday night. The wind came from the west and in many localities approached the dignity of a tornado. Telegraph and telephone poles were blowri down and telephone communication cut oil until late last night. Wires ar« still down west of here, and many places can not be heard from.
At Abilene the wind reached a Telocity 6f 60 miles an hour accompanied by an inch of rainfall. Four residences and half a dozen Workshops were demolished and a number of residences moved from their foundations, and otherwise badly damaged and many buildings unroofed. Mrs. McKinley was seriously and Mrs. Johnson painfully injured, their residences being destroyed.
Several houses were blown down at •Colorado City, one of which was occupied by a family named Solomon. Nearly all the members of the family were injured. The wires are still down in that direction and this is the first news received from there.
At Fort Worth a sash door and blind factory, and the grand stand at the base ball park were wrecked.
At Oresson, a small town below Fort Worth, the Fort Worth and Rio Grande railway depot, the Methodist church and nine business houses and residences were demolish.
At Reagan, Falls county, several buildings were almost demolished. At Anneta, Parker county, one store and all its contents was blown away and a number of residences crushed.
At Bates, Denton county, the Methodist church was destroyed and other buildings moved from their foundations.
Along the line of the Texas Central from Cisco to Dublin, damage to farmhouses and crops is reported.
The wind was followed by a driving rain which added to the damage. No estimate of the amount of loss has been received, but it will be considerable. Rain was general throughout the state.
One Life Known to Be Lost. COLORADO CITY, Tex., April 13.—A cyclone of limited dimension but tremendous force struck a portion of this city Saturday night at 10 o'clock, doing considerable damage to property, and resulted in the death of James, the 12-year-old son of J. M. Solomon. The storm struck the four-room building occupied by J. M. Solomon. The house was literally splintered and scattered all over the block. Mr. Solomon, wife and five children had retired, and it is remarkable that any of them escaped alive. James, the oldest son, was struck in the back of the head by a portion of the timbers and his skull fractured, resulting in death. He was found under the wreck across the street. Mrs. Solomon and the other children were bruised but not seriously.
FORECAST CONGRESS.
Probable Program of Beth the Senate and Hons# For the Week.
Washington,
April 13.—The Dupont
election ease 'Will be reviewed ia the senate this week, when Senator Chandler will make a speech in support of the committee report favorable to seating Mr. Dupont. He probably will be followed by Senator Gray in opposition to the report. There will then be an effort to go on with the Indian bill until it shall be disposed of, but there are ifeveral special orders on thef calendar for the week, which may interfere more or less with this prd|?ram.
There is a unanimous agreement to take tip Senator Peffer's resolution for the investigation of the bond issues for the past two years on Tuesday.
If
not
set aside the question probably will give rise to a spirited financial debate of uncertain duration.
Thfe bill to reduce the cases in which the death penalty may be imposed in the United States courts is a special order for Wednesday.
Senators Lodge and Nelson halve given notices for speeches on Thursday on the immigration bill reported by Mr. Lodge from the committee on immigration.
No one has any definite idea of the time which will be required to conclude the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill.
The sectarian school question is still undisposed of and the debate on this may require another day. Either Senator Piatt or Senator Jones will propose the amendment agreed upon by the committee on Indian affairs looking to a change of the land system and the breaking up of the tribal relations of the Indians in the Indian Territority. The friends of the amendment believe it will be accepted by the senate, but it probably will not be without elaborate explanation from its authors. £JA disagreement of the conferees of the two houses on the legislative,, executive and judicial appropriation bills probably will be reported early in the week on the portions of the bill relating to salaries of United States marshals and district attorneys and of senate employes, and the consideration of the report, if made, will consume some time.
With these questions out of the way the naval appropriation bill will be taken up.
House Program
WASHINGTON, April 13.—The general deficiency appropriation bill—the last of the apply bills—is in process of preparation in the appropriations committee and pending the reporting -of that bill to the house a variety of matters, which have been held in abeyance in order that the appropriation bills might be pressed, will br brought up for action. The most' important of these is the bankruptcy bill, to which it is expected the house will devote several days. There are also several minor banking bills, including a bill to increase the circulation of national banks to the par value of the bonds deposited and one or two general pension bills.
CONSUL WALLER LANDS.
He Thinks He Can Win His Suit Against the French Government. P: NEW YORK, April 13.—John L. Waller, late United States consul at Tama tave, Madagascar, was a second class passenger per American line steamer New York, which arrived Saturday from Southampton. He said he was released from prison in France on Feb. 20, exactly 11 months from the time he was sentenced at Madagascar. Mr. Waller declined to discuss his case at length, but said he felt confident of the ultimate justification of his actions. He inquired to the health of his wife and t\ 1•, ao have been at Baltimore for the past two months.
Mr. Waller said that while on the guardship at Madagascar, and during the passage to France, his treatment was inhuman, but that at the prisons where he was confined in France his lot was no worse than that of the ordinary prisoner. The food served lacked nutriment, and he was obliged to purchase supplies outside, a concession granted by the prison authorities, and for which he was very grateful.
Mr. Waller said: "I wish to contradict the statement of the secretary of state that there is evidence that I was well treated on the voyage from Madagascar."
Waller was allowed to buy 10 cents' worth of food a day. By writing to the French minister of the interior Waller was allowed to take three baths in five months. He wrote to Ambassador Eustis, but the French held the letter for 26 days. Other letters were also held.
At Nimes he again nearly died, and for a long time the doctor refused to attend him.
On Feb. 20, 1896, Waller received notice that his pardon had been secured, but on condition that he must not sue the French government through the United States government, but in the French courts.
