OMAHA'S VISITATION. -A TVrrHlr Cyrlnni l'ollowril by a Destructive Thunil.T Storm. Om.uia. XeU. June 21. This morning revealed a heavy loss incurred by last night's storm. The los to property will run up into the thousands of dollars. Dennis O'Brien lost his life and fully twenty other persons were severely injured. Following the tornado a severe thunder storm struck this city this morning. A bolt of lightning descended :pon the Nineteenth-street inoter power house, striking the lighting arresters. Owing to the immense valumc of the shock it pierced the register and entered one of the dynamos completely destroying it. The loss arising to the two instruments is fully 2,000. Five barns were struck by lightning nd one horse killed. Numerous houses were struck and the inmates stunned, but not fatally injured. The Kellogg chool building was struck by lightning, and the chimney on the outh side was partly demolished. "The pupils had just been seated and the s.i-ck penetrated almost through, ihe building, frightening the school children to an extent lmrdertng on a panic. The teachers, however, pre--vented this.

The hall, entertainment and reception committees have Wen laying plan for a year iu anticipation of eclipsing every thing that has preceded their work. The two principal places of meeting are on Wilson evenue. a broad and beautiful thoroughfare running south from Lake Erie. Samgerfest hall stands on the corner of Scovill and Wilson avenues, and a mammoth tent will 1h pitched on the corner of Cedar and Wilson avenues. Each place will easily accommodate 10.000 persons. Two large ehurohes near by have been secured for overflow meetings. Music hall, with a capaci ty of .1.000, has been secured in case a meeting is needed in the busi ness part of the city. Entertainmen ts will Ik in hotels and private residences. Hotel rates will vary from 31. SO to Si a day, according to the hotel and the number of delegates occupying the same room. Each state will have headquarters in a church, and the delegates will be placed in the homes of that neighborhood. As the different delegations arrive they will le taken at once to their state headquarters, where their will register and receive the convention badge, without which entrance can not be gained to the meetings. As each delegate registers he will receive a billet, ' stating where and what his accommodations are. and what they cost. Guides will at once escort delegates to their homes. The committee is planning for large restaurants near the convention buildings, to accommodate those who are assigned to distant parts of the city. Two large chorus choirs and two orchestras will lead the music. Mr. Percy S. Foster, of Washington, D. C; Mr. II. C. Lincoln, of Philadelphia, ami Mr. J. G. Warren, of Cleveland, will have charge of these choirs. The music, always one of the most inspiring elements in these gatherings, promises to In unusually attractive at the Cleveland convention. The convention badge is designed to be a beautiful little souvenir. It is a diamondshaped booklet, containing twelve pages of exquisite half-tone views of the "Forest 'ity," inclosed in beautifully-lithographed celluloid covers. A beautiful advance ...Mtvcnir of the convention. "Christian Endeavor in Cleveland." has been prepared. It is a look of 107 pages, bound iu white and gold embossed covers, giving an interesting epitome of the history of the Cleveland union. It will be the only complete souvenir that will be issued by the "committee of "Ul." PRAYERS ANSWERED.

Itir.MiNoitAM, Ala., June 21. Further developments in the tire in the Mary Lee mines which broke out yesterday show that the disaster was even worse than was at first reported. Of the ISO men in the mine at the time, fifty were overcome by the great heat and smoke, and were dragged out after great peril. Of these Supt. John Whalen, Sam Marker, Win. McKenzie anil Kd Smith were dead. Twenty are in a critical condition yet, it leing impossible to tell how many will survive. The death of John White and J. Parker are looked for at any moment. Two who are still missing are Indie ved by many to be dead in the mine. Just lM'fore the rescuers were forced to leave the mines last night by smoke and heat they found twelve men in a room with the door partially closed by slate. Several were unconscious.while the others were praying for deliverance. After strenuous efforts they were rescued. Many remarkable escapes are reported, and the scenes that were enacted were harrowing in the extreme. The fire is still burning, and may continue for several days, though every effort is lnsing made to extinguish it. The owners of the mine arc positive the fire was of incend iry origin, and openly charge the strikers, who are angry because the mine has resumed work. Four strange men who applied for work v. -nt into the mine and came out, soon after which the fire was discovered. Several suspicious men were noticed running from the mouth of the min." from which the smoke was first seen. .Superintendent Whaley was the only man who knew the strangers who applied for work, and he is dead. The Differential Will Not te Iteotimed. Ci.KvrxANn. 0., June 22. All the mines in the Massillon district were represented at a meeting of operators in this city yesterday morning. The operators were practically unanimous against a continuation of the differential rates that have, heretofore been allowed miners in the Massillon district. Capt. Drake said this differential had virtually driven the Massillon operators nut of the market, and that under no circumstances would it be resumed. The mines in the Massillon district havu been idle since February I7. When time the mines were closed tho miners were p.dd eighty-live ccut?i per ton where the veins were lesn than three feet in thickness, and eighty cents In veins over three and a half feet. Tho cut proved at that time was to seventy-five and seventy cenfs per ton. The operators present yesterday expressed themselves nn w!lling to pay the rate fixed for Ohio -sixty centfi where the veins uro three and one-half feet thick and an additional five cents where they are less. As the miners have determined to hold out for the differential, this action of the operators means an indefinite continuance of the trik.

It was eontUlontly promised that export-s of roM would cease, hut they have not. It iis promised that tho end of tho real strike would tirlntr Immediate recovery of Industries, nut partial resumption of wort; dlselftsu comparative scantiness of demand for products, while the miners of Ohio In convention huve repudiated the settlement and continue the strike, and Iu many other localities It lingers, and. above all. the colto workers' strike blocks most of tho Iron manufacture In the central region, loss than u quarter of the coke ovens bolmr yet at work. It was believed that lntccham.'cs In tho tnrltf bill would tie more satisfactory to Industries, but the new schedules have riot yet diminished hesitation. The export of cold havo been $.7.'s,ix') during the week. notwithstanding continued and more liberal sales of exchange neu lust products to be exiHirted In July, and at nuo further away from sieht exchange. The tlood of money from the interior, amounting to about SI.uo.aO.iuo for the tlrst halt of S9i. continues to show the k really reduced demand for funds, und at the same time heavy liquidations iu reotvanlzln railroads, especially by forden holders. have operated as a magnet to draw abroad the unused coin of the country. Tho treasury gold reserve Is reduced lower than It was at any time In January, and the Kovernnient proposes to ship legal tenders to Interior points against deposits of gold In the treasury at rates which virtually constitute a premium on cold. Tho conference of New York banker, propoilng to provide gold for export resulted in little practical gain, but called public attention more distinctly to tho difficulties of the situation. Most tenders now require a stipulation for gold payments In all time loans. The customs receipts for the week have been S1.HW.1 13. against MW.ua last year, and tho, Internal revenue aNo decreases jflVJOW. The market for commercial paper Is singularly narrow, with extreme caution In the scrutiny of names. The liquidation In stocks largely held abroad was the only prominent feature which relieved the dullness of the stock exchange, and stocks were remarkably steady with small transactions. llallroad earnings for June thus far show a decrease of t." per cent., which Is about the decrease on the granger roads, while the trunk lines and Pacific roads report a little smaller, and tho other eastern, and some western and the ."southwestern roads a much larger decrease. The tonnago movement Is large in grain, provisions and live stock, with especial shipment of horses eastward from Indiana and Kentucky, but Is small In manufactured products and In coal. Oieratlons in wheat advanced the price Ia cent, though western receipts wero- only 1.351 .510 bushels against 2,s0.ls5 last year, and Atlantic exports only .Vw.iai bushels against S.SOi.ftsO lnt year. Corn advanced some, but again receded with small exports and fairly large receipts. Cotton declined a sixteenth, but recovered. The visible stock of American hie and abroad Is ii.512.W0 bales against 2..rW2.573 last year, and there Is every reason to expect an Increased yield. It wusconttdently expected that the settlement of tariff rates on textiles by the senate would Improve the condlton of toxttle manufactures. Hut there is scarcely an evidence of such a result as yet. the large sales of cotton being traceable to moTe seasonable weather and larger retail sales, and to further concessions by sellers. The stock of unsoid print cloths nt Providence. Fall Hlver and Boston Is over a million pieces, but the accumulation continues. The orders for fall are limited, and staples are Irregular In price. As before, dress goods fare better than other woolens, the pressure for samples promising a fair trade. One explanation Is that the linal marketing of such goods to consumer;) can be effected before any change of duty. Hut the new arrangement of duties on woolens has rather increased than diminished hesitation, partly becau-e many think It may not be tlnal. and partly because Its effect upon markets next winter cannot yet be anticipated. Wool Is less active nnd rather weaker, with sales about equal to half a full consumption, 3.252.511 pounds agnlnst 2.9-),n for the same week last year, and 5.413.5.V) In 192, For three weeks of June the sales have been 8.S7SU2t pounds against 1 0.933.654 In ltt2. There Is much disappointment that the partial termination of the coal strike does not promptly enlarge the demand forlron andsteel product, which Is evidently too narrow as yet to support much Increase of production. Prices are weakening, Bessemer pig selling at I10.W) nt Pittsburgh, beams ut jl.30 anil angles at f 1.20. Western orders arc comparatively liberal, though much smaller than In other years, but no Improvement 1 seen at Philadelphia. whllo In the central region the continuing coal strike, and grave uncertainty about the July settlement of Iron workers' wages cause much hesluitlon. The shoe Industry appears to fare better than others In quantity of products, though mainly In low priced goods, for which most of the manufacturers have orders reaching well Into the future, while tho medium goods aro greatly neglected. Shipments from Hosten for the month thus far have been SOLUM cases, against 2K0 for the same weeks last year. The volume of domestic trade, measured by clearings, shows no lmiortant change, though the heavy decline a year ago vitiates comparison with that period. Comiwred with lrt2, the decrease Is fLS per cent, outside of Now York nnd 21.3 per cent, at all iiolnts. The Improvement continues In failure returns, which show nn aggregate of liabilities for two week s of June amounting to fß.520,025, of which i2,23S,t0 were of manufacturing and 1.113,058 of trading concerns.

DEMOCRATIC PREDICAMENT. Kinne of I lie tVuj Out or It lie titln the In-i-oiiiK Tax Fit Separate Hill .Milking Sugar. Coal. Iron, Kte., Free, anil AbolUli All Untie That Serve Only Trtint I'rotector.H. From present appearances the democratic party Intends to lose the political race in which it expects to engage next full. In fact some of its representatives iu the somite are coaching it for the "booby" prize by loading- it up with the same tain that broke the back of the McKinley party in IS'.M) and lt. It is no use for democrats to deny it. Tho present senate tarilf bill d lifers from the odious McKinley bill only in degree, both are f nil of protection to trusts which dictated them. The (ionium bill has the advantage in that It makes free one or two important raw materials that were heavily taxed by McKinley and in that its protective duties nre usually not so high, though often just us protective. The .McKinley bill has the advantage in that it (being entirely iu the hands of its protectionist friends) got through congress with less .scandalous exposure of its liaisons with trusts ami in that it is not the result of hypocrisy it having never been Intended as a purely revenue bill. As regards the tariff features of the two bills it now seems quite certain that the gvnuino MeKinlev bill will put up the best nice. Honest men hate hypocrites. The democratic bill, which promised so much and realizes so little, hus so disgusted hundreds of thousands of free traders that they will stay at home or vote for some third party rather than stultify their principles by .sanctioning- the hypocritical senate surrender bill. The non-compromising and honest tariff reform and free trade democrats, such as were the most of hose who fought the bard battles of 1S!K) and 131)2, prefer MeKinlcyisin straight, if they must accept protection, to the milk and water mixture prepared by Gorman, llrice .v. Co. They say "rather than have another protective bill, let the McKinley bill continue to work out its own damnation." Hut there is one feature of the senate hill that will go far towards saving the party responsible for the bill. The income tax attached to the bill will popularize it in all parts of the country. The masses of the voters undoubtedly favor this method of collecting revenue from those who now escape their fair share of taxes. If the voters, of New York city could have an opportunity to express themselves on this piestion they would declare with an overwhelming majority iu favor of an income tax. And this, in spite of the fact that New York has about 1,200 millionaires and multi-millionaires and that the income tax sentiment is repressed by every New York daily, except the World. This fact bus become evident from several mass meetings held iu New York. One was called under the auspicea of the Reform club, to ask for the immediate passage of a tariff reform bill "with or without an income tax." Some of the speakers spoke for, and others against, an income tax." The audience demonstrated that it was strongly in favor of this kind of taxation. Another meeting, called by the Manhattan Single Tax club, to express indignation at the delay in the tariff reform legislation and to ask for a radical tariff bill, declared unanimously (except for four votes) in favor of resolutions declaring against all tariff taxation and in favor of an income tax or some other Ivetter form of direct taxation. Hut it is not too late yet for the democratic party to redeem some of its pledges to the people. It can never make amends for its tanly action, but it can wipe out the more obnoxious and disgraceful features of the bill. It can do this in two ways. (1.) Hy so amending the bill that it will give us free sugar, free coal and free ores; by replacing and increasing the number of ad valorem duties, and by greatly reducing such highly protective duties Bs those on collars, cuffs and shirts, on woolens, gdass. etc. (2.) Hy accomplishing this same result by separate bills passed as soon as this dicker contrivance is out of the way. Either of these plans, if carried out. would give the democrats u good fighting chance this fall with excellent prospects for IS'.Mj. If, in addition, it could pass a separate bill making the pmducts of many of the leading trusts absolutely freu, its prospects of success would be much brig-hter. Many duties upon such products produce no revenue and are retained for the sole purpose of protection to offensive trusts and combines. Some of these are the steel rail, steel beam, linseed oil, borax, standard oil, match and agricultural implement trusts. Often these trusts sell their products cheaper abroad than at home and depend upon the otherwise useless duties to prevent the re-importation of their products. Remove these obnoxious duties and put Americans on a par with foreigners in our markets. It will be n most popular move. Protection is becoming' more and more unpopular. It is on its last legs. It Is only by a combination of circumstances such as can be brought about only by greed and corruption that protection can possibly hold out a few years longer. The people have already branded it ns unconstitutional robbery, and their decision will not lie nver.sed except by those who misrepresent ami betray them. If the democratic legislators will stand by the people in this fight, they will not desert the democratic party. If not, there is likely to be a shaking- up of parties, and it may he some time before the democratic party will come lwick to its own. Ilvitox W. Holt.

CARING FOB TRUSTS. Thi CompronilM Titrlff Ulli Itrlelly Antjrr.ed. Among the many merits of tho com.promise tariff jumble enumerated by Senator Gorman Is this: "It is liuslnesslike because it provides suttlclent revenue to meet necessary expenditures without further issue of bonds." Undoubtedly the hill, if unacted, will produce sutlicicnt revenue In process of time, but how soon? It would bo businesslike to answer these, questions. Tho necessity for bMiluit gold boad

will arise ngaln if the gold reserve bacomes dangerously small. The reserve has already been reduced to about SsU000,000, unit If gold exportscontliiue for four weeks more nt the rate of the lust four a bond issue will be imperative. The exports me due largely if not wholly to the faet that the government expenditures exceed the receipts to the extent of $.'..000.000 or more monthly. This excess comes out of the treasury balance. It is so much taken out of the treasury vaults and put.in. circulation: it is 'so much iuilutiou, causing or accelerating the outflow of Hilf tho pending revenue bill should pass to-day would it protect the re serve? It would not take effect in any part until the first of July. The only tariff provision which would product) more revenue is the one relating to sugar. That does not go into effect until January 1. IS'.C. Until then it would not bring an additional dollar into the treasury. It would not bring in much after that for mouths, because the refiners would import enormous quantities of free sugar iltirln; the interval to avoid the duty. Other tariff provisions will jirodttce less rather than more revenue, For instance, wool will come iu free after July 1. cutting off SS,000.000of revenue, while woolen goods will bear McKinley rates for a whole year and naturally will yield less revenue, because with free wool the duties will be more nearly prohibitory. As for the internal revenue provisions, the income tax will product: nothing until some time after January I, a',K, for the incomes of the present calendar year are the first that will bo taxed. There will be a considerable increase at once in the revenue from spirits, because distillers are allowed at least a month to withdraw spirits from bond before the increase tax will go into effect. There will also be some revenue from playing cards. Hut these two items will hardly compensate for the loss resulting from the transfer ot wool and other articles to the free list and the reduction of duties on nianu facturus other than those of wool. It does not appear, therefore, that the bill is so "businesslike" that it wil! prevent the necessity for issuing in ore lionds to replenish the reserve and provide for current expenditures. There is a fair prospect for a deficit for the first eight months of the next fisca year, if not longer. The bill is "businesslike" in earing for the sugar trust, the woolen manufacturers and other "interests." but not so much so in other respects. Chicago Herald. GORMANS SPEECH. lie Show Himself to lie 11 I'rotertlonlsl from Self-interest. The speech iu which Senator Gorman defended the course of himself and his fellow "conservatives" in forcing his surrender bill as a substitute for a democratic measure was not marked by his customary plausibility and adroitness. The only thing in it that bore the genuine Gorman trade-mark was the attempt to throw upon Mr. Cleveland the responsibility for the protectionist concessions. This was "smart," though somewhat beneath the dignity of what was intended to be a serious speech. Im t of course it will deceive no one. Mr. Gorman did not learn his protection doctrines from Mr. Cleveland. He has been pulling back during the entire time that Mr. Cleveland has been leading his party forward in the tariff reform fight. lie is a protectionist from self-interest. Mr. Cleveland is a tariff reformer from conviction. Mr. Gorman's excuse for the surrender bill is that neither the Wilson bill nor the finance committee's bill could pass the senate. He omits to explain why. Such an explanation would have Involved the confession that it was because he and his fellow "conservatives" blocked the way. They hold the balance of power in the senate. And they used this power to force concessions disgraceful to the party to which they profess to belong. A better bill could not pass because they refused to allow it to pass. The people are clearer-sighted in this matter than Mr. Gorman likes to believe. They understand the bill and they understand him. They know that his only idea of statesmanship is that when men differ on any question of politics they should sit down ami dicker and trade until they can get together on some mutually profitable "compromise." They know that he has no convictions and that lie wouldn't recognize a political principle if he met it In the middle of the road, They kjiow that he Is a combination of Artful Dodger and OHv Gammon. K. Y'. World. Not Mueli Iteform Left. As the Courier-Journal has often said, the passage of a tariff hill of some kind of any kind is more important to the business interests of the country just now than are the trifling differences in rates over which the senate is now wrangling. There is not enough of tariff reform left in the bill to make It worth fighting for, and it is of such close kin to the McKinley measure that we don't see why the republicans wnnl to tight against it.
