LMI'EROa WILLIAM DETKRMIMSO TO GET II1S CANAL DILL PASSED. Threaten to Create Enonxh Xet Peers Favorable? to the Meaiiare to Secure It Enactment. OPPOSED BY THE AGRARIANS WHO THINK NEW WATERWAYS WILL BENEFIT AMERICANS. Scheme to Connect the Hirers Elbe, Ilhlne and Wfwr with Far-East German Provinces. I Copyright, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, Jura 17. The canal bill engrossed attention this week and the papers haj much to say pro and con, according to party standpoint. The ultimate fate of the. bill concerns America, as the construction of a network of canals Joining the three largest rivers In Prussia the Elbe, Rhine and Weser and the far eastern provinces, these bordering on the German ocean, will cheapen and facilitate the freights of American exports, notably cereals, meat3, cotton and other bulky goods. Another point Interesting to America Is the fact that the Prussian Agrarians and those parties affiliating with them, the Conservatives. Reichspartel and a portion of the Center, have made the bill a test of strength between the government, and almost a personal contest between them and the Emperor, who with the entire Prussian Cabinet, is pledged for the canal. Ills Majesty left no doubt this week that he strongly wished the great canal to be built. Tuesday he summoned the crown council for the purpose of agreeing with the Cabinet on a line of action in the Diet, and personally drew up a declaration, which was read In the Diet on Thursday, promising compensation to individuals and to provinces, especially Silesia, financially injured by the canal. The passage of 4he bill through the lower house of the Diet will, therefore, be a signal defeat for the Agrarians, who are always the most hostile to American Interests In Germany. The Liberal press stood united for the bill and it is confidently expected the canal will give a powerful impetus to German industry, especially in the highly developed Ilhlne and Westphalian districts, and will create a more extended and more uniform market for agricultural products. The correspondent here of the Associated Pre? learns on high government authority that the acceptance of a bill by the lower house of the Diet does not mean its adoption by the upper house, where the government expects determined opposition, as the Agrarian interests are usually predominant In that body. If, as Is most likely, the majority of the upper house oppose the bill, the Emperor is determined to resort to the expedient of forcing Its final passage, which has not been tried in Prussian politics for a generation. Thia will be a so-called pairschub. The Emperor, as King of Prussia, will create a sufficient number of new peera to secure the desired majority. The Emperor's intentions remain a secret, known to few of his Intimates, but they will be carried out in the event ot the contingency arising, as he is determined to demonstrate that the Aerarians are not stronir enough to defeat Important legislation required tor the country's good. It is reported his Majesty Is incensed at the fact that the leadins Agrarian organs and chiefs had the assurance to state openly and pointedly last -week that they meant to make the bill prove their political predominance. Immediately - after Thursday's sitting. Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, nd Dr. Mlquel. the Prussian minister of finance, visited the Emperor, who insists on a dissolution If the bill 1 rejected. The committee will begin the discussion of the measure June 23. The Centrists demand t ho passage of the municipal election bill lM?fore action is taken on the canal bill. The many claims for compensation greatly complicate the situation. The recent developments at the peace conference are generally commented upon here, and the statements of the foreign papers, particularly the English, that the German representatives at The Hague are opposed to arbitration have been noted with deep displeasure. Almost the entire press of Germany gives Indignant voice to what the papers term "English intrigues in order lo 1 prejudice tne world against Germany s pacific intentions." An Important Foreign Office olficlal said to the correspondent here of the Associated Press: "The incomplete and usually distorted partisan reports of the doings of our representatives at The Hague, which have appeared for weeks in the foreign, notably the English and French, pres.-, are calculated to create false impression?. It was on account of this that Count Munster proposed that full reports of the transactions from day to day be given out officially. The fact trtai k'lch a proposition was made by Germany thows we have nothing to hide and have no fear of correct and full reports. At regards England's proposal for a permanent court of arbitration, this goes beyond Russia's proposals. Aside from that wo miss several seemingly essential features, such as rule providing for absolute Impartiality. As soon as guarantees of such impartiality are given Germany will be able to absent to a proposition going beyond the scope of the criminal Russian proposition. Some method will probably be found to improve on the incomrlete and unfair reports of the meetings of the conference now in vogue, even if complete reports have to be printed in the official organ of the German government." This statement is borne out by the utterance of the semi-official press. The Berlin Pott this week has a series of editorials bitterly commenting on the "false and malicious reports of the English press regardinT Gerroanv'a attitude at The Hauge," and 'as-:s ironically why, if Great Britain wishes to found courts of arbitration she has not appealed to such a court In the Transvaal nintter or In the Alaskan difficulty. The Cologne Gazette expressed the belief that the whole conference will soon "end It smoke." This view is supported by a score of other influential papers. The National Zeltung said It hoped the government would scon establish a method of regular and reliable dally reports of the doings of the conference. The snub administered to Germany by rejecting her minister's proposition at The Jlspru- has been bitterly commented on by the press here. The Deutsche Zeltung remarks: "This treatment of a big power like Ornany strikes us as wholly Inappropriate. We hooe the government will find a right answer to this lack of courtesy." The Berlin Tajreblatt. however, says: "If the report is correct, we must assume Dr. Zorn misunderstood his Instructions." In the Reichstag to-day the Anglo-German treaty parsed Its second rending. Baron Ilernschelm, National Liberal, has given notice of his intention to Introduce the following amendment to the treaty: "The most favored nation treatment shall apply only to those parts of the British empire whlih grant to the subjects and products of Gerrr.inv the same advantages as are granted to tf;s "subjects and . products of the most favored nation." It now seems certain that the anti-striko till will rot find a majority In the Reiehstt. According to the government's programme the bill will come up next week, tut strong pressure is being exerted on the government to postpone it until the autumn, as during the past fortnight the opposition to it has been gaining ground. Besides the Radical, the Socialists, the National Liberals and the larger part of the Center op-r-s the measure. It seems that If the government trudsts on the first reading before rejournment the bill will be defeated without the honor of a reference to a committee. The government would thus meet a severe defeat.

tions. Spain asks a big price, however much higher than Germany is willing to pay. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the well Informed Krcuz Zeltung claims an Internal crisis In Russia Is fast approaching, pointing out that the Russian labor troubles at Higa, the disturbances of the students and the famine in various provinces are symptoms of the coming of greater trouble. The paper adds that it has inside Information enabling It to say that perfect demoralization prevails In- the upper government circles of Russia, owing to the opposing influences of the Czar on one side and his mother on the other. It cites recent incidents as proving this. From to-day the Emperor will make the imperial yacht his home for seven weeks. She has been repainted and regllded and a number of Improvements have been made. Ills Majesty will attend the regattas at the mouth of the Elbe and will be present on Monday at the Dover-Heligoland races. He will arrive at Kiel on June 22, where a number of races for boats and yachts will occur from Thursday to Monday, closing with a floral course in the presence of their Majesties. The Emperor has purchased of Prof Martius a fine villa and grounds at Bonn for &j)tf.v marks, to be used as a residence for the crown prince and Prince Eitel Fritz. Low temperature has succeeded last week's hat. Several inches of snow has fallen In the Sudetlc mountains. The press expresses alarm at the fall in the price of a number of government securities. Saxony put her 3 per cent, eighty million mark loan on the market and was obliged to Issue it at 83. Prussian 3 per cents, are below is), and per cents, are down to 8. Negotiations are "proceeding between the Italian and Prussian governments to facilitate the Immigration of Italian agricultural laborers Into the eastern provinces of Prussia, where the lack of men for work on the big estates is becoming more and more felt. The experiment will begin in August. , Government Meat Inspector Lehwald, at Brausberg, East Prussia, has been sentenced to fifteen months' Imprisonment for causing tho death by trichinosis of the Worner family. Lehwald failed to discover the character of the meat when inspected. It was German meat. The highest court of Cassel has decided that a clergyman of a denomination not officially recognized by the government Is considered a layman, and for such persons to offer public prayer is a crime. A clergyman named Wicke has been sent to Jail for this crime. Count Henckel Von Donnclsmarck, one of the wealthiest German noblemen, has gone Into the manufacture of celluloid material for clothing. He paid 400,000 marks for the German rights to do so. House owners and other residents of Berlin have addressed a monster petition to the Emperor to prevent the construction of the present elevated railroad as planned by the municipality. A lockout of Berlin bricklayers began this week. About 6,000 men are now out, and it is expected the trouble will last for several months, as both sides are determined to fight to the bitter end. Rev. Dr. Dickie, pastor of the American Church here, has returned to this city. MAY BE NO WAR.

(Concluded from First 1'ngf.) clare the yacht's construction is absolutely unkrue and that tne amount of metal employed will be a surprise to the yachting world when It is divulged. In color and texture the alloy has the appearance of aluminum, of which, indeed, it has a large percentage. It possesses extraordinary resistance and lightness and has been used everywhere wood was not considered absolutely essential. Great difficulty has been encountered in molding the plates. Although tho sheathing tends to give her a heavy appearance, the yacht has in reality been built for light weather and it is considered her chances of success will be reduced should the weather be heavy during the cup races. Her decks and overdeck arrangements as regards sails, etc.. are considered original and peculiarly effective. Light larch-wood berths are being fitted for the use of the crew in crossing the Atlantic. The contracts of the crew have been signed for six months certain on racing pay and substantial bounties have been promised In case of victory. The first appearance of the Shamrock will be at the Hunters' Quay regatta, Firth of Clyde, where Sir Thomas Llpton gives a hundred-guinea cup. The cup challenger will not be regularly raced, but will take a few trial spins and may perhaps be tested in a race or two. But that will be arranged according to the weather. If it is wet Captain Hogarth will not set the new mainsail. From the Clyde Shamrock will proceed to the Royal Ulster regatta. In Belfast loch, where the same course In regard to her trials will be followed. It is very improbable Shamrock will go to Cowes and meet the Prince of Wales's cutter Britannia. She is more likely to be placed under ketch rig and get away immediately for New York from north Ireland, so as to get a good Atlantic passage. SOCIETY AT ASCOT. Women Wore Fom Part of. Week and Thin Dresses the Remainder. Copyright, 18S9, by the Associated Press. LONDON, June 17. England had the usual mixture of winter and summer this week. Until Thursday It was so cold that the weather seriously interfered with the brilliancy of Ascot, to which place the social headquarters was transferred. Women appeared in furs and heavy coats and the men wore overcoats. But on Thursday and Friday Ideal summer weather enabled the fair sex to make dazzling displays of light, airy dresses and brought an enormous assemblage to the royal heath. There were more coaches than usual, the team of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough being specially admired. In the royal inclosure there was a large contingent of Americans, Including all tho members of the United States embassy, the Bradley-Martins, Mrs. Bonynge, Lady Deerhurst. Lady William Beresford, Lady Randolph Churchill and Mra. "Jack" Leslie. On Thursday, cup day, the dresses were especially beautiful, flowered muslins predominating. The Duchess of Marlborough wore white silk covered with fine black lace; Lady Mary Sackville was dressed in white lace over white satin with hanging sleeves of lace and touches of blue satin at the waist and a large leghorn hat embellished with pink roses. Lady Hesket's costume was flowered muslin. She wore also a beautiful necklace of round opals. The charity bazaar to be held at Albert Hall In aid of the funds of the Charing Cross Hospital is much talked of among the aristocracy and others. A representative of the Associated Press has interviewed the Countess of Chesterfield and Mrs. Arthur Paget on the subject. The latter said: "We have practically got every noted family In London interested. Mrs. BradleyMartin has bought choice silver objects of art from Tiffany's and Whiting's. Mrs. Ronalds has been in Paris ail week buying things for the bazaar; the Misses Drexel and Swift and Mrs. Clarence Mackay are getting together a fine collection for the American stall, at which the stallholders will be attired in white gowns, lace ilchus, fashes of the rational colors and large picture hats." The Automobile Club's show .-as opened by Prince and Itincess Edward rf SaxtWelmar, at Richmond, thte afternoon. The procession of motor cars. Including pleasure, business and traffic vehicles, went from Whitehall to Richmond. After luncheon a series of trials took place. The 6how lasts a week. In order to popularize motors visitors to the show were taken about the neighborhood In motors and a motor-car service of four trips daily has been organized between Trafalgar square and Richmond. The tide of American travel to Europe was at high-water mark this week, and as a result not only are the London hotels turning people away, but victors ore la -ky if they find ordinary lodging. Three steamships arrived this week that had from 3U0 to l.LW passengers on board. In fact, one brought l.sJ. The evening scenes at the fashionable hotels are almost a counterpart of those witnsfed at the Waldorf nnd the Savoy, New York. Every phase of American life is represented. Besides the immense flow of tourists, it is calculated that more American financial schemes have been floated and that more London branches of American manufacturing concerns havo been established than ever before. Connoisseurs are greatly Interested In the forthcoming sale of the Marlborough gem at Christie's. It will be the most Important of its kind Fince 1ST5, when the same co'Iectlon was nold en bloc for 33,000 guineas. The purchaser. David Bromllow, maintained the collection Intact, but he recently died, and the gems which the third Duke of Marlborough spent the best part of hU life In gathering will be scattered. They are largely cameos and intaglios, belonging to the centuries tatwetn the reign of Augustus

and the end of the Antonlne period. It if urged the best should be secured for the British Museum. Remarkable prices were realized at the Dickens sale at Sotheby's this week. A first edition of tho original parts of the "Pickwick Papers." presented by Charles Dickens to his sister-in-law. Mary Hogarth, brought Wt and other copies were sold for and 1 each. An "American Notes presented by Dicken3 to Thomas Carlyle, sold for 61. The original autograph manuscript of Dickens's "Battle of Life," on fifty quarto pages, brought JC2oO; Forster's "Life of Dickens." containing autograph letters, manuscripts and portraits of literary celebrities, was knocked down for 300, and Dickens's "Cash Book." when he was in the office of Liwyer Blackmore. showing Dickens's salary to have been thirteen shillings six pence per week, brought &. The Russian Famine. LONDON, June 17. The hopes that the dire famine prevailing In seven or eight governments of Russia, with a population upwards of 11,000,000, would be ameliorated by the new crops within a couple of months are now dashed to the ground as it Is officially admitted the harvest is practically a failure. Owing to the protracted drought the crops have been scorched, and in large areas In the south they are not worth the cost of reaping, while the cold in the northern provinces has been almost equaily damaging. To add to the misery of the situation there Is no hay and few vegetables and the beet root, the principal crop in the province of Kieff, has been practically ruined. The whole situation promises to end in appalling disaster. Chess Players Records. LONDON, June 17. Records of all the chess players in the International match up to date: Won. Lost.

The Duke of Westminster will preside. Cruisers Said to lie Topheavy. LONDON, July 17. With reference to the reports that the cruisers Albany and New Orleans, purchased here by the United States government, have been found topheavy and unseaworthy, tho correspondent of the Associated Press saw Colonel Watts, the naval constructor of the Armstrongs, who said: "If the 'Albany and New Orleans are unseaworthy, many ships of the British navy, built at the same date, are also useless, as the Albany and New Orleans were built from designs sanctioned by Sir William White, chief naval constructor, and bear comparison In speed and every other essential way with any vessel of their class built at that date." Democracy at Cambridge. LONDON, June 17. The democratic tendencies of the times were well exemplified Iq. the Cambridge mathematical tripos list issued a few days ago, in which a colored man was bracketed senior wrangler, another senior being the son of poor parents who began his education at an elementary day school and the third and fourth wranglers were Australians. Paranjype, bracketed senior, was the first Indian who ever secured the honor. He is a Muhratta Brahmin educated at Poona, Bombay, and was sent to Cambridge in 1S96 with a government cf India scholarship. Steamer Perthshire Not Lost. VICTORIA. B. C, June 17.

IMP WAS THE VICTOR

WON SHEEPSHEAD BAY SUBURBAN HIT TWO LENGTHS IX 2:03 4-5. Tvro-Flfths or a Second Better than the Record for the Event, and Within Four-Fifths of Salvator's Mark. LONG DELAY AT THE POST THE HORSES DID XOT GET AWAY UXTIL THE ELKVEST1I BREAK, And Then Banaatar, the Favorite, Bolted and Turned Back, to the Disgust of His Backers. NEW YORK, June 17. This was a gala day at Sheepshead Bay and It seemed as If all the town saw Imp win the sixteenth running of the great Suburban handicap. Contrary to the usual custom of coming late to the races, the people to-day were on hand early, and even at noon the front rows of seats in the grand stand were filled with people who were willing to wait several hours for the big races. As the hours wore on the crowds began to increase and by the time the first race was run there was not a vacant chair In the whole grand stand. When the time cams for the big Suburban the crowd was the largest seen at Sheepshead Bay In years, fully 25.000 being present. The roof of the grand stand was full of people; the lawn and the field were packed, and a fringe of people hugged the rail half a dozen deep in the fields. In the parade of the horses past the grand stand on their way to the post, Ben Holladay was at the front. He received some applause, but the greater share was for Banastar, the favorite, and the winner of the Brooklyn handicap, on which so many people had pinned their faith to break all records by winning the Brooklyn and Suburban in one year. He looked in fine trim, and was greatly applauded, although Bannockburn had his full share of the hand clapping. They reached the post about 4:20, and then lined up. George Keene was fractious and refused to Join his company, kicking at everything within reach. At 4:30 the starter thought he had them in line and called them. Briar Sweet refused to break .and they were called back. Ten minutes later they got another brer.k. They were all in perfect line, but Maher, on Banastar, did not like his position and pulled his mount up, for which he was lectured by the starter. Five minutes more elapsed and Briar Sweet and Banastar were the offenders. Another break came and this time only the inside wing moved. Briar Sweet spoiled the next break. In the eighth, ninth and tenth breaks Banastar was the chief offender, but in the eleventh they got away in perfect order. BANASTAR BOLTS. Just after the flag fell Banastar bolted and turned the other way amid the howls of the crowd and it was all over so far as the favorite was concerned. Imp was the first to poke her nose in front of the squadron and close behind her came Georgo Keene, with the others in a bunch almost on her neck. Banastar trailed along lengths in the rear. As they passed the stand the first time Previous was running in front, while only a head behind was Briar Sweet, the. two of them t being', a safe length in front of Imp, who' was head and head with Filigrane. The others were tralling'Just behind, with none of them at an advantage. Around the lower turn the horses went at a high rate of speed and when they straightened out in the back stretch Briar Sweet had a head the better of George Keene, the pair having run practically locked around the lower turn. Imp and Filigrane were locked together half a length behind. Just as they were nearing the upper turn Turner crouched on the neck of the black mare Imp and like a flash of lightning shot past Briar Sweet and George Keene until she had a length the best of them and all indications to make it more. The Jockeys on Briar Sweet and George Keene urged their mounts vigorously but with little effect, for the faster they urged their horses the more speed Imp put into her going. She seemed to gather strength with every bound, and flashed around the turn into the stretch at record speed, with every hor3e behind her straining hto utmost. It was a hopeless stern chase for first money. George Keene and Briar Sweet tired and gradually slid to, the rear. Bannockburn and Warrenton were the only ones who seemed to have the slightest chance, and down through the stretch they thundered. The great crowd in the infield surged to the rail to watch the finish and Just as Imp and Bannockburn had passed them down went the rails for a distance of fifty feet and scores of people fell over into the track. The horses, however, were not hugging the rail and no one was hurt. During the excitement It seemed for the instant that Bannockburn was gaining on Imp, but the former had shot his bolt in trying to catch up with the leaders from sixth place, and he could not get further up than two lengths behind Imp, who crossed the line first. Bannockburn rushed In second. Out of the dust cloud caused by the falling rail Warrenton emerged and managed to get third place. When Banastar. the favorite, went past the stand, the crowd did not hesitate to show Its pique at his actions, because the spectators seemed to fully appreciate that h was to blame for most of the delay at the post, and that he had bolted after the fall of the flag. Imp ran a grand race and had Banastar acted as he did in the Brooklyn Handicap, the track record would surely have been broken. As it was. 2:05 4-5 was hung out, the fastest time by two-fifths of a second the race had ever been run in, and within four-fifths of a second of the track record, made by Salvator. The Suburban record, up to to-day, was held by Ramapo, who made it in 2:06 1-5. Ju 1SH. SUMMARIES OP THE RACES. The other stake of the day was the double event in which Prince of Melbourne was a hot favorite and fully Justified tho choice, for, after indulging Colonel Roosevelt with the lead to the head of the stretch, he came away and won as he pleased.

The entries of the horse George Keene were ordered refused In all other events for the rest of the meeting. This was occasioned by the horse's vicious actions at the post. Fast Time at Latonla. CINCINNATI, O, June 17. There was some sensational racing at Latonia to-day over a track that was lighting fast. The greatest contest of the day came out of the second race, in which John Yerkes and Nettie Regent ran a dead heat. Yerkes and Regent were under a tierce drive the last eighth of a mile, and crossed . the wire so close together that the judges could not decide which one of the pair was the winner, and they declared the race a dead heat. The purse was divided. His Excellency was 3 to 5 favorite for the Sensation stakes, but was beaten very handily by Lieut. Gibson. Only three' horses started. The stake was worth $1.3 to the first horse. The Trlstate handicap at one mile for gentlemen riders was won by Alamo, ridden by Mr. Keys, of Columbus, O. Alamo beat Infelice a head on the post. In the last The Lady In Blue covered a mile and fifty yards In 1:4344. making the first mile iu 1:40 flat. About 8,000 people witnessed the sport. Sloan Denies Striking the Walter. LONDON, June 17. Tod Sloan, who is alleged to have assaulted a waiter at Ascot Heath, made a further statement on the subject this afternoon. He said the reason he took the blame and did not deny the af fair at the time was to protect the friend who was with him. He added he had received letters asking for compensation, and says he heard a number of men say to the waiter: "Go to the hospital, and there Is a chanco of getting money rrom him." "I absolutely refused to give the waiter, under the circumstances, 5 cents to save his life," said Sloan. "I deny striking the waiter, who Is not seriously hurt." Jockey Sloan's Rival. LONDON, June 17. Tod Sloan promises to have a rival in little Relff, who was accorded a most enthusiastic reception when he won the new biennial stakes at Ascot, June 11, on Sir R. Waldie Griffith's chestnut filly, Betty Field. He looked like a child of ten and was all over the place with the fills', but straightened her In workmanlike fashion, and riding in Sloan's style won very easily, whereupon the women cheered even more than the men. Such a recognized authority as John Corlett. editor of the Sporting Times, says looking at Reiff's weight, skill and self-possession there must be a great career before him.

Here seven buildings were leveled, two persons being seriously injured by falling timbers. The course of the storm, which was in the central west part of the county, was plainly discernible from this city. At Bethany it is reported that a number of buildings were leveled and several persons Injured. Wires connecting the storm-swept section are down and reports as to the damage are few. LewUton residents say the storm passed several miles north of that locality and that a number of buildings were destroyed and tres uprooted. So far no fatalities have been reported. The storm in Winona was quite severe, much rain falling. A small tornado struck Rush City, Minn., this afternoon at about 5 o'clock, the wind blowing a perfect gale. The center of the storm seemed to be about two miles east of here, but nothing can be learned." A special from Alma, Wl3.rsays: A tornado struck on the boundary line between the towns of Montana and Waumande, eight miles east of this city, about 4 o'clock this afternoon and demolished John Rosenow's barn and granary, Koenig Brothers' creamery, Christ.

A Chippewa Falls, Wis., special to the Pioneer Press says: "The most violent hall and windstorm that has been witnessed here In years raged between 5 and 6 o'clock this evening. Hailstones three inches in circumference smashed windows in many sections of the city and wind blowing fifty miles an hour uprooted many trees, tore awnings into shreds and leveled fences. Great damage was done throughout the farming districts. Farmers residing near the city say -that thousands of acres of growing corn and oats were beaten to the ground and are a complete loss to the owners. A telephone message from Bloomer, fifteen miles away, says that all growing corn in that vicinity was severed as if by a knife at the roots. Rain also fell in torrents and low lands are covered with water. As yet it Is impossible to estimate the amount of damage done. Damage in brakn. OMAHA, Neb., June 17. Addit onal reports of damage by storms are coming in. The hail and rain of Friday night did more harm than at first feared. Cumming and Dodge counties were the worst sufferers, but the entire eastern part of Nebraska was swept by the storm that inflicted heavy damage upon crops and city and village improvements. The severest hailstorm thus far reported was near Ashland, where at 3 a. m. to-day a terrific fall ot icy pellets devastated a strip of country four miles Ion and over a mile wide. After the fitorm was over the ground was entirely bare of vegetation or any trace that any had existed there. Stock was stampeded and driven from the pastures and many of the aniimls are killed or badly injured. It was the most terrific hailstorm ever known in that locality. Early this morning a heavy rainstorm that approached a cloudburst in its intensity struck South Omaha and did an Immense amount of damage In the way of washouts and flooding of cellars and bursting of sewers. Lightning struck several houses, setting one on fire. Council Bluffs also suffered heavily in the same way. Rumors of tornadoes have been coming in to-night, but none of them have thus far been verified. It is clear and warm at Omaha to-night. The day has been pretty hot. with conditions favorable to severe storms. Worst Hailstorm Ever Known. FORT DODGE, la., June 17.

Today, five days after the New Richmond tornado, it is possible to give a summary of the death and destruction with fair accurateness. The official list of known dead contains 102 names; Ave unidentified bodies have been buried beside some parts of bodies. A conservative estimate of the bodies still in. the ruins of people now reported missing would be fifteen. This brings tho loss of life about 123. The best estimate on the loss of property in the city of New Richmond, compiled from a list of Individual property owners who lost everything, reaches a total of 3550,000. To this may be added about f200,O00 for household goods and other property destroyed in this immediate vicinity, not included in the buildings totally demolished. The relief fund Is growing lpidly, having reached 335,000 to-day. Reports brought here show that about nine persons heretofore unheard of were killed by Monday's storm. The dead are families of farmer's living along the Burkhart road between New Richmond and Burkhart. About two hundred farmhouses and adjoining buildings along nine mile of that road are more or less wrecked. Three members of G. Lacey's family are reported as among the nine killed, also three members of a family named Ellis; also, Mr. L. M. Hurd and two or three otherB.

The path of the storm was traced from the mounds from where it dropped upon the lakes in Warren township, licking up the water and leaving the lakes clean and dry, while the mud from the bottom of the lake was scattered. Father Degnan also found four or five hundred feet of Willow river near this point has been entirely licked up by the storm. The bed of Three lakes and of the river is clean and dry.

Mrs. Luch Schmerl, of this city, to-day asked aid of the local detective bureau in clearing up a mystery involving an inheritance of $500.0u0.

PORTER HE SAYS GERMANY 19 NOT tNFRIEXDLY TO Ot'U INTERESTS, But Oar Army Meat Investigation HaTc Done l'n Mach Harm Russia's Wonderful Progress. NEW YORK, June 17.-Robert F. Porter, who was sent to Europe last February to study and report on the commercial situation there, returned to-day on the American liner New York. While abroaA Mr. Porter visited France, Germany, Italy and Russia, investigating the trade and economic conditions of those countries. Concerning his mlaslon, Mr. Porter gave out a pre-' pared statement, in which he questioned himself oa the subjects on which he care J to make public his views. It is as follows: "The German government Is not unfriendly to American interests, and desires to treat us with ab-jolute Justice If not with consideration The vnrtnji mat Investigation!! and the political capital which has been made out of them by American newspapeis have done our interests more injury, not only in Germany, but all the six European countries England, Germany, France. Italy, Belgium and Holland which I have .visited, than all the foreign Influences put together. Whatever may come, therefore, we have no one but ourselves to blame. Unless efforts are to be made to disabuse the European mind of some libelous charges agalntt American meat, as a whole, the loss of this trade will range from J2O.000.000 to 323,000,000 per annum. "It must be borne In mind that only ih wildest and most exaggerated statements find thtlr way Into foreign prints. The effect will be to mike consumers hun our products, and that is Just what the agrarian press of the entire continent wants. Thee foreign officials in Germany and elsewhere, therefore who are willing to accord us Justice, have a dliilcult and thankless task. They are constantly met with the extracti from our own Journals and declarations of our own statesmen and officials that our meat is bad. "I suppose we can retaliate, but that will cot Improve matters very much when the real injury to our commercial relations has been worked at home rather than abroad. The true remedy, as I see It. la absolute integrity in the killing, packing and putting ud of our own rjroducts and th strictest supervision of onr products before they are shipped abroad." Speaking of liussl i Mr. Porter said: "The Russian government, representing as it does one hundred and forty different races. 130,000.000 souls, nnd resources as various and abundant as those of the United States. Is not engaged in a policy of aggression aga.nst tne rest oi tne -wona; DUt in a worK of uniting In one compact mass a large number of people from the shores of the Baltic and I'U.ck seas to those of the Pacific ocean. The estate It feks to administer is rightfully Its own. th inheritance of the Russian people who have, as Is well known, gradually but persistently spread to the west, south and eat. and, according to the last census, comprise more than 70 per cent, of the population. To accomplish the work It has rx-en absolutely ne-esary to bring the scattered population of the empire nearer together by the extension of railways. And it is the work of railway building that lies at ti e foundation of their industrial and commercial awakening, which at this momeni i attracting the attention of the civilized world toward Russia. "With the roads now under construction completed Russia wnl start the new century with 40.000 miles of railroads, and this In an empire whrH roourecs. if properly developed, and whose population. If profitably employed, could easily support as many miles of railways as we have In the United States. The effect of the extension of railway's has been a tremendous migration of population from the more thickly populated region to its eastern empire Siberia which corresponds to our great West. "Lust month the czar abolished lorever the sending of political and other offender to Siberia and has thus withdrawn the Incubus of criminal settlement from the mo; prominent part of hi? empire. "The Russian railway? to-day are the country's mot-t Important asset, and as development goes on will become more productive. Profits have Increased since lt to last year from $iro.o00.00 to JC00.0no.ttiO. Probably IUM.OOO.OoO are involved In Russian railways. "The finances of Russia are in excellent condition. Russia is ow on a gold bais and gold. llver and paper circulate at par. The credit of Russia is as- sound as that of the United States. In JStt M. Dewltte. th chief cf finance had accumulated $5O0.OUQ.00) of gold in the treasury, and his carefully matured plan of resumption, based on an Interchange of sliver for gold money, waa brought about without a disturbance of business. "The Russians are most friendly with th Americans. Both at St. Petersburg and Moscow the business and commercial interests expressed a hope that the bulk of the American exhibits at the world's fair next year at Paris would be moved either to one or the other of these great cities. If the exhibitors consent to do this It will greatly enhance .our business relations with Rutsia." ' THE OLD WAY Of Treating: Dyspepsia and Ind!ffe tlon by Dieting; a. Dangrerons and Useless One. We say the old way, but really It is a very common one at the present time and many dyspeptics and physicians as well consider the first step to take in attempting to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain food3 and rejecting others cr to greatly diminish the quantity usually taken; in other words, the starvation pln is supposed by many to be the first essential. The almost certain failure of the starvation cure h.s been proven time and again, but. still the moment dytpepsla makes it appearance a course of dieting is at once advised. Ail this is radically wrong. It it foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to a man suffering frcm dyspepsia, because indigestion itself starves every organ, every nerve and every fiber in the body. What the dyspeptic wants Is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholsesome, well-cooked food and something to assist the weak stomach to digest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arc adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia; In other words, the patient eats plenty of wholesome foou and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this wiy the system Is nourished and the ovenvorked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 3.000 grains of meat or eggs. Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Tablets is the purest and rjfeM remedy for stomach troubles and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent preparation.
