WHAT DOES THE DAMAGE.

Furious Tornadoes Hint Form oa the Edges of the Cyclonic Storm. JOw York Fun. It was not tho great cyclone itself which did tho damage to lite and property reported from tho West, bnt dozens of impetuous little tornadoes which sported on its southern and eastern edges. The cyclone moved alowly and with dignity as lecamo its impressive size. Iho tornadoes frisked about like little demons, appearing and disappearing without warning, dashing this way and that as if for wantonness, making sudden excursions into distant JStates, raiding defenseless villages, and finally leaping up into the clouds. All cyclones of unusual bulk and intensity are attended by theso ferocious little tornadoes. They always form upon their southern and eastern edges, and frequently do considerable damage. Hut so many and saci disastrous tornadoes as attended this last storm are seldom reported. Tho cyclone developed somewhere in the we st or UritisQ America, and on March 30 Sauntered over tho line. It entered our territory iu the north western corner of Montana, just east of tho KocUies, and wandered down to Helena, when it linirereU lor few hours. fo tar it was not much of & storm. Traveling on to the Koutheant the storm crossed Wyoming diagonally until it centered at Cheyenne eomo time on Thursday. Here it met opposition, and began to gather it.dt together. A cyclone in a whirling storm. Tho cold winds of the north and the warm winds of the south meet and begin to revolve around a centre, turning in the opposite direction to the hands oi a watch. Sometimes a cycloiiH will rover hundreds of miles in breadth. Cyclones shape their course in the direction of the least pressure, and that ii why this cyclone traveled south over lands moistened by irrigation, for damp air oilers less opposition than dry air. I 'pon encountering the grazing lands of Nebraska the storm was checked. It tried to push its way through the dry. clear air, and in tho struggle developed a mighty power. The whirling winds increated to hurricano speed. The rain, which had been light, fell in torrents over an area of thousands of square miles. Tho cyclone was beaten. It lingered on the northern border of Colorado and Kansas for twentyfour hours, battling with the dry atmosphere south. It was pushed slowly duo cast, till it centered at Omaha, on Friday, when it cave up the contest, turned sharply north, and ran oil to the great lakes, where it found all the moisture it wanted. 15 ut. though the cyclone was conquered in the struggle, it developed amlghty strentith. It broadened ana increased its whirling t speed, hourly, nntil its insentity became Biething remarkable. Then it was that

the spiteful little tornadot-s formed on its couth and cast, ana in.i!e devastation in tho Mates which hud refused admission to tho cyclone. A tornado resembles a cyclone in some respect.-, being also u whirling storm and formed by the meting of cold and .warm currents. But it is very small in area, and of tremendous, almost unbelievable force. It forms hiih above the ground, and narrows to a point below like a waterspout at sea. The whirling speed of the wind at this inverted apox has never boeti determined, but it may equal live or si hundred miles an hour. In addition to this tremendous whirling motion tbo tornado has a rapid forward motion, which is generally in thft direction of the cyclone. Theso tornadoes occur in tho nir at homo height, occasionally dipping down to trail their whirling ends on the ground. It is then Hint they do their mischief. Tho fury of a hurricane is concentrated in these whirling ends. The- hpin like htcatu drills and grind to pieces everything they euconnter. It was one of these that cut a swath thronsh Louisville two years ago. When one trails through a forest, a path is cut as clean as if with axe?. Trees are twisted up and torn linib from limb, and yet the trees n tho edges of the path are uninjured. The trail of the hurricane is never very broad. Sometimes its energv is compressed iuto a pathway lifty feet or less iu w:dtn. There is no means of knowing how many of these tornadoes formed on the edges of the late cyclone. Tbcrr may have been lifty. There may have been ten times that many. It is impossible to lay out the courses of Individual tornadoes from tho reports telegraphed from tho West. One which originated in tho Indian Territory can bo traced northward through Sumner, hedgwick and linticr counties. Kansas, where it is lost night of. This one is responsible for much loss of life and property. Another originated on the northern border of Kansas, and tore its way northeast through Nuckolls, Clay, Fillmore. York, 1'olk. Platte and Madison counties iu Nebraska. Another originating further east, touched the outskirts of Omaha. It was probably the same which damaged fct, Joseph. . J J tit no one can tell how many "of thes" storms were developed. Their habit of leaping into the clouds only to touch the ground at a poiut many miles distant, baflles any attempt at identification. The telegrams show that tornadoos formed as far south as Indian Territory and as far north as Wisconsin. The cyclone, however, has practically dissipated in the damp atmosphcro of the lakes. With its diminishing power the tornadoes grew less frequent and violent, anil then disappeared. Wo felt tho effects of tho storm yesterday in tbo warm, moist weather whiehTdevelopcd in tho south and followed the course of tho cyclone north. Sergeant Dunn says it will also bo warm to-day, but fine and cooler weather is following the storm, and ought to reach us Monday. - SECUETAKY TItACV SPEAKS.

Pkovidexce, 11. 1., April The climax of tho licpnblican campaign camo to-night in the dinner given to Secretary, of tho Navy Ucnjamin F. Tracy, by the Young Men's Republican Clnb, of Providence. Infantry Hall was tilled with tho largest company of diners iu the club's history, covers being laid for 1,140. Shortly after 8 o'clock tbo doors were thrown open and tho galleries were quickly tilled with a crowd, in which xcro sprinkled Democrats, colored men and a few women. The audience, as a wholo.was not only sympathetic, but enthusiastic, and wildly so at times. Kvtry reference to Senator Aldrtch was loudly cheered, and Secretary Tracy's trib ute to bis ability was the occasion of a big demonstration. President Kendall introduced Secretary Tracy, tho speaker of tho evening. As the Secretary advanced to tbo front of the platform, tho whole company rose, and cheer upon cheer rang out. He first paid a trihuto to Senator Aldricb, and then referred to the various questions that had come beforo the present administration for settlement, including the Samoan, tho Chiliau, tho Italian and Bearing sea problems; and his conclusions were in theso words: "It is freely admitted by all, excepting in timo of civil war. no administration since the days of Jefferson and Madison has encountered so many dillicnlt questions of foreign relations, and in no case have the problems been so triumphantly solved as by llarrieou and Ulaine." Referring to tbo finances, tho speaker said: "At the time of Mr. Foster's accession to ollice it was charged by tho opposition press that tho treasury was bankrupt. In jpite of this bankrupt condition the treasury has paid all government expenses, mid reduced one million of lonr-and-a half. per-cent. bonds, and ha paid out OOo.OCO In returning tho direct tax to the states. The treasury is in good condition to-day to meet all demands that may be mado upon it. The increase of the currency and money in active circulation durlug the three years of this administration exceeds by over $$7,000,000 the entire iucrenso during the tour years of Mr. Cloveland's tenure ol office. The increase thus far under President Harrison amounts to fa 5.000.000 or $1.75 per capita." Mr. Tracy last referred to his own branch of tho Cabinet work, iles.tid: "It is safe to say that March next will find twentyfour ships placed in commih&ion during tho prevent administration, and nil tho remainder will be completed shortly thereafter. It is not tco much to s.iy that, taking nil together, from the first bcmning to those authorized by the Pif ty-tirat Congros.they aro at least tho equal, ship for ship, both in design and construction, of the modern navies of the world.

CAUGHT ALMOST IN TIIE ACT

Two Anarchists Arrested Whilo About to Causo Great Havoc at Madrid. Ready to Explode Two Dynamite Bombs in tha Chamber cf Deputies Mrs. 3Iontacue Confided of Manslaughter. DYNAMITE TLOT AT MADRID. Anarchists Arrested While About to IIlow Up the Chamber of Deputies. Maih:ii, April 4. Great excitement was caused here to-day by the discovery of an Anarchist plot to blow up tho Chamber of Deputies. The leaders of tho conspirators arrived here within the past month. The civil Governor had received information that two foreign Anarchists were conspiring with a number of Spanish Anarchists to blow np the public buildings, and the suspects wero accordingly watched. The project against the Chamber of Deputies was arranged to come oft on Saturday, a Frenchman named Dor a I and a Portaguese named Feirriera intending to conceal a couple of bombs under the seats in the public gallery and then to leave beforo tho bombs exploited. Feirriera. however, was taken ill and tho attempt was postponed until to-day at 4 l. M. Uoth conspirators left their houses, each carrying under his arm a small parcel of tbo ebapo of a bottle wrapped in a newspaper. The pollco shadowed them and kept them in sight uutil they reached the Cortes Building, where both were seen to place themselves before the door leading to the Chamber of Deputies by which the President of the Chamber and Premier Canovas del Castillo usually enter. The police then decided that it was time to act, and they at onco proceeded to arrest tho plotters. Tho Frenchman, a man of herculean strength, fought hard, bnt was finally knocked nown and overpowered. Itoth men were immediately haudcutl'ed. When searched they were found to have in their possession conical bombs inclosed in castiron cases eight inches long by three broad. A yellow fuse, similar to that used by smokers, was attacked to the bombs, which wero bound and lightly compressed by steel wiro for the purpose of increasing the strength of the oxplosion. Tho bombs weighed each eight pouuds. Tho fnso was so adjusted as to burn three minutes before exploding tho charge. Tho bombshave not been carefully examinod as yet. bat they appear to be loaded with enough dynamite to blow up the whole Cortes. A document was found on the prisoners containing a draft of the plan of action ot tho Cosmopolitan Society, according to which the conspirators wero first to blow np the Chamber of Deputies; second, the Senate; third, the law courts; fourth, tho Council of State; fifth, tho Ministry of War; sixth, the royal palaco in the chapel, and eoventh, the Bank of Spain. CRUEL MOTHER CONVICTED. She IJellcTed In Not Sparine the Itod and Caused tho Death of Her Child. Drm.iN, April 4. 3 Irs. Annie Margaret Montague, wife of Mr. ltobert Acheson Cromio-Montagno. of Cronmoro House. Townlandof Bally leaf e, County of Londonderry, who was indicted here on Saturday for manslaughter for killing her threeyear old daughter Helen, and for cruelty to Austin, Walter and Gilbert, three of her sons, under the ago of fourteen, was tried here to-day and convicted of manslaughter. She was sentenced to imprisonment for one year at hard labor. ' A large model of the Cronmore bouse was produced in court to show the jury the exact position of the dark-room and the ring to which the girl Holeu had been tied. Mrs. Montague, as at all tho previous court proceedings, was attired in deep mourning. Her husband, her brother. Captain McMicking, and a female friend sat as close to the dock as possible. When the charges ogalust her wero read Mrs. Montague arose and raised the veil that hitherto had concealed her features. In entering her plea of not guilty she was perfectly calm and fiolf-possesed. Miss Dozelle, the governess, testified to locking Helen in the darkroom, and tbo subsequent acts of Mrs. Montagno as already devoloped at the coroner's inquest and the hearing before the police n agistrato at Coleraino. The witness said, however, that Mrs. Montague was an affectionate mother. The Solicitor-eeneral then, in graphic language, gave tbo details of tbo case. Ho pictured the child subjected to the most cruel punishment and made a most tellmcr arraieutnent of all the facts bearing against Mrs. Montague. After the defense bad announced that its testimony was all in the jodco summed up tho case, defining tbo legal meaning of manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and Mrs. Montague was at once sentenced as indicated above. Only two witnesses appeared for Mrs. Montague. Their evidence was con lined to proving that tho defendant was deoply attached to her children and that tho ventilation of the room in which the child was confined was not bad. Tho counsel for the defense asked the jury to 1 void tho inllnence of tho savage outcry against the prisoner. She might have mado a mistako in correcting her children under stern ideas, but that was without criminality. There was no proof of an evil mind. On the contrary, the evidence agroed that she was fond of her children and Indicted punishment under a strong seno of duty which dominated her genuine ntfection. Sho had severo notions of habits of obedience and regularity, and by a mishap she had done something resulting in death; it was not legally slaughter. The prisoner wept copiously as her counsel proceoded to make a pathetic appeal to the jury. She was tho greatest sufferer by the death of her child, he eaid, and she was also About to become the mother of an eighth child. There was applause m the court room when ho declared that thoncb the jury could not remove her incurable axony. they could, by aUirroing an absence of criminal intent, restore her to her hnsband. to her home and to her children Tbo jury deliberated an hour. The verdict wni accompanied with a recommendation to mercy on tho ground that the prisoner believed in punishing her children and was acting under a mistaken genso ot duty. The judge ordered that Mrs. Moutague be given labor suitable to her sex and condition in prison. On the other charges tbo crown returned a nolle pros6equi. GEXE21AL FOBISIGN ItEWl The State of Siege In Argentina May Be Maintained at Least a Month. London. April 4.

The Radicals, it is aaitl. may decide not to vote at tho May elections, on the iround that they were unable to complete their organization. Under any circumstances, the dispatch ndds. the Radicals would be shown to he in great minority, and somo of the more cautions of that element would lie alad of a pretext to avoid risking their lives at the polls. Although there is considerable discontent in tho army with tho government, especially with the Minister of War. it is not likely to prove 6uthcient to lead many of the othcers or men to revolt. With the military remaining loyal, coniidonco will rapidly revive. The Shamrock at the Itose. London, April 4. In tho House of Commons, to-day, Mr. Patrick O'Urien revived the question of the wearing of the shamrock on St. Patrick's day by Irish soldiers in tho Hrithh army by asking whether Mr. Stanhope. Secretary of State for War. was aware of tho fact that tho Northumberland fusileers, whether they were Irish, Scotch or Welch, were obliged to wear a rose on St. George's day. Mr. O'Urien also asked whether tho government would provide for the wearing of national party emblems or allow all nationalities to wear their respective favors on their national lestivaK Mr. Stnnhnpo replied that the rose had been the badtro of tho Northumberland f iiHtleers since 1075: the wearing of the emblem hud no political ignilicaucc, and Le

saw no reason to interfere with thecustom. Mr. O'llrien was not satisfied with tho reply of tho War Secretary, and he intends to continue his badgering upon the first occasion that oilers. Idle Workmen Led by a Necro. London, April 4. Another meeting of unemployed workingmen was held at Tower Hill to-day.

It will be recalled that at one of the meetings held last week a deputation was appointed to wait upon the dean to ask bis advice as to the course the unemployed should follow. The dean received the deputation, which was headed by tho negro Wade, who appears to have taken upon himself tho leadership of the idle workmen, and told them, among other things, that he would deliver a sermon, Sunday, iu St. Paul's in their behalf. In his sermon, yesterd&v, tbo dean made no reference to the workingmen and tho result was that they were deeply ineensml at his failure- to fulfill his promise. The speakers, at the meeting to-day, did not hesitate to deuonncehis duplicity, as they termed it, in very strong terms. Present for the Missouri's Captain.

All this talk about the heroic age of our grandfathers is unadulterated nonsense. We are quite as heroic in this generation as were the men of any generation; and this is not saying very much. There are, however, heroes in our midst all the time; but the only heroes we know anything of are those of history and literature. Wo are torn and swayed by tho same passions ana fears as actuated the people of ancient Egypt; and a tragedy in a Broadway restaurant is just ns much a tragedy, and just as full of the human element necessary for poetrv, as if it took place on the banks of the Nile. Tho engineer who stands in his cab, at the risk of his lite, in a railroad crash isquite as heroic a lignro as Columbus threatened by his mutinous sailors. As long as the human drama continues, there will be tragedies nnd there will bo heroes. The critics who say that this ago is too prosaic for the production of poets and poetry do not appear to realize that as long as birth and doatb, and the essential solitariness of every individual existence remain, human life can never become commonplace. The fact is, in reading about our ancestors we accept shadows, continually elongating with the years, for men." Hoy Choirs. fc. B. Whitney, in New England Magazine.

A GENEROUS HERO. The Story or Iord William Vervsford's Gallant Itefcue or a Sergeant. Life (London ) What one likes in Archibald Forbes' s "Barracks, Bivonacs and Battles'' is the air of freedom, the robustness, the jaunttness of theso episodes in the pageant of war. Men do their brave deeds without parade and without false humility, but with just a touch of assumed careiossncss. Of course, no msn risks his life without caring, unless he is tired of it, and in that case there is no special merit in running after death. But really to enjoy life to tho utmost, and put it all in peril for a sentiment or through ambition to wear a bauble of a cross that means honor that takes nerve, and to do it with a smile, as though it were one of the polite conventions of lite which are expected of every pentloman. requires more than that physical imperturhableness which wo call "nerve" it demands a steadfast spirit. o in these sketches, when we read of Lord William Berestord riding into the very face of death to snatch a wounded sergeant from the oncoming Zulus, we feel admiration for his humanity. And when we read that the wounded man refused to go with him because it would endanger two lives instead of bringing inevitable death to one wo say he also is a brave man. But when it is added that Lord William "swore with clenched fist that he would punch the wounded man's bead If he did not allow his lifo to be saved" tho touch of humor brings the whole .scene within the range of our sympathies. It is not a play any longer with actors of another race, but a bit of ordinary, every-day life made ideal. Then we say, "He is a hero." Then a third man appears, Irish Sergeant O'Toole. And he shoots down the pursuing Zulus, who are at tho very heels of the overburdened horse, and the threo comrades together at last reach safety. By ana by the British troops sail home, but the news of tho bravo deed had long preceded them. Lord William is sammoned to Windsor to receive the Victoria cross.. Surely he had earned it doubly, but there is room for even more "stun?' in such a hero. He will havo no honor that he cannot share with O'Toole, and the Queeu knows valor when she sees it, and givea two Victoria crosses. Then wo say: "Hero is a hero who is not only humane aud brave, but generous and modest, and withal be has a sense of humor. Why, he is not what the books call a hero he is a man, every inch of him, and I would liko to take his hand and tell him so," now Paris llaries Its Dead. Edmund R. Fpcarman. In Arril Forum. In every great city the poor live by tho worldly vanities of the rich. In Paris they die in the same way. It is the manufacture of innumerable superfluities which makes np the bulk of the industry of the working classes. The Frenon capital has developed an ingenious system by which the poor are furnished with a free burial at tho expense of the "pride, pomp and circumstance" which Dives considers his due on the road to the tomb. One of the largest, best managed and most profitable industries in Paris is that of the Pompes Funebres, the gigsntio monopoly which alone has the privilege of transporting the dead through the streets of Paris in funeral style. It possesses undertakers' material to the value of over 4,000,000 francs, does some 0,000,000 a year of business, and turns over nearly 2,500.000 a year of tbisas clear profit to ils accredited owners, the church establishment of the city, after gratuitously and decently burying some tbreo out of every five of the dead as indigent subjects. Each country and each ago have their own fashion of disposing of their dead from the Patagoman. who makes "lion meat" of his spouse, .back to the ancient Boman, with his ancestral nrns. Taken all in all, perhaps there is no mere reasonable arrangement than that of tho thrirty Parisian, who manages to have each disposal of the dead carried out "decently and in order" through tho exploitation of a. love of lavish display in a minor portion of the community. One sees nothing of the ghastly side of the undertakers' work in visiting the vast premises which have been recently devoted to the use of thePompcs Fnnebres. away ont in the extreme northeast of Paris, in La Villette. There we found only "the trapping and suits of woe." the materials for the fnneral decorationsand the funeral corteges. Tako it altogether a ramble over the establishment is one of the most interesting sights of the city. That All-Fools' Day Clastic. Chicago Mail About a dozen years ago A. Miner Griswold.the "Fat Contributor'atarted upon its rounds an April-fool story, which has come back to greet a patient rcadmz pnblio every spring sinco then with the regularity of clockwork. It is tbo old story of the bright young man who proudly boasts that he cannot bo taken into camp by any April-fool silliness the man who carefully steps over the plethoric pocket-book which he finds npon tho sidewalk and stops in the nearest doorway to laugh at the first greenhorn who shall bo fooled by the bait. And who says several very emphatic things when he sees the next passer-by pick up the wallet, take from it a fat roll of greenbacks, and saunter down the street whistling merrily. Other April jokes may come und go, bat, apparently, this one is doomed, like Tennyson's brook, to go on forever. This year it made its first appearance in the columns of the Boston Journal a week ago. Since then it has "broken ont," spasmodically, in the Eastern press, nnd to-day it probably will become epidemic throughout the country atfain. Ia it not htah time to recognize this yarn as an American classic, like tne hatchet story and Daniel Webster's woodchuck pleat Every 31 an Counts. Jndjro.
