Though 200 of her children wore torn from her by the merciless wind, and ■cores are lying in the hospitals on beds ©f agony, she is rallying her superb re•ourccs ready to begin again the march of progress. Property worth millions was snatched fit m her bosom, and from the fair surface of her vicinage huge sacMories, beautiful dwellings, gigantic e'eivators and thousands of homes of the poor have been razed. Dazed and half (bleeding, she has struggled to her feet, sroping in the darkness of affliction. , Her little neighbor is scarcely able to move. The full force of the storm that

laid her waste was not lost in the long •nd remarkable voyage across the river. Out of a population of nearly three-quar-ters of a million St. Louis lost two hundred souls. East St. Louis has scarcely a family in her limits that does not number in its membership one dead or wounded. The list of victims to the fury of the W’ind runs up to 150, and to say who is i Injured would be to enumerate one-half the population of the bustling little community. Weaker than St. Louis, in that •he lacks the size and wealth, she is strong in her own might. With the assistance of the outside world she will recover from the blow in time and her blocked streets will again be the thoroughfarcs full of teams and men they I were before the terrible visitation. But 4 ? ^. wsfi I AT TENTH AND CHESTNUT STREETS. ► — In the history of the world, the disaster that overtook the sister cities will live on •nd on as the greatest of modern times. Birth of the Tornado. On that fateful Wednesday afternoon the clouds formri in conclave over St. Louis. For months, weeks they had been Covering in an atmosphere that made 1 them worried and restless. They were •urcharged with energy generated by excessive heat and they were surly. They thirsted for rapine and slaughter. Down below them myriads of mortals ran about the streets of the big city like ants, each carrying out. his part in the daily journey of the world. Across the river dense volumes of smoke arose and from the many railroad yards the shriek of locomotive whistles mingled with the rumble of moving ears. The great stock yards and the rolling mills and the foundries were adding their quota to the atmosphere that iwas irritating the vapory masses in the •ky. Traitorously the storm crept upon the city, and even as the people wondered why the shadows of vapor were behaving in a manner so unusual they framed their battle front and brought to being the tornado, the child of unusual atmospheric

conditions, the concentration of Cue power of the elements. In less than ten minutes it caused damage to property that cannot be replaced in years and loss of life horrible to dwell upon. It swept a city from end to end. attacked a swollen river, lined with shipping, made of it a waste of muddy water, showing here and there on its surface a wreck, and rushed on through the little city across the bridge, demolishing it most utterly. It left behind a long trail of blood and twisted ruin. When the force of the wind abated from every door and every place of shelter men •ad women swarmed with blanched faces

I and trembling lips. Every thoroughfare was a vista of broken signs, overturned vehicles, ground and shattered glass and twisted wires. Lights were snuffed out by the fury of the gale and the wonderful current that propels so many of the cars of the city was rendered useless. In the 1 downtown business districts, where the damage was slight, the streets wore crowded with citizens anxious to get to their homes to reassure loved ones. All felt that a dreadful calamity had occurred, but none could say the extent of it. While the news of all the fatalities was being circulated in the manner that news was circulated in the olden time, when town criers were the chroniclers of the ■ events of the day, night was falling rapidly. The telephone system of the city was useless and the rapid transit conveyances stood idle in the streets. Light was at a premium. Candles were called into requisition and gas jets that had not

seen service for years were pressed into use. The streets were wildernesses of SCENE IN HICKORY STREET. risk. On every hand the wires were spitting and snapping and from roofs pieces of debris were falling suddenly and without warning. An hour before the usual time the town was buried in a black pall | as in a dungeon. Out of the west came ' another storm, resembling the first, and j terrified mortals fled from it wildly ami j aimlessly. All the time the rain beat down desperately. Night came on a city thoroughly and pitifully demoralized. In all its vast extent there was not a man who knew what had been accomplished by the terrible wind. About 7 o'clock the eastern horizon took on a ruddy appearance, and through the 1

blinding rain long tongues ot fire could be seen mounting high in the air. East St. Louis was on fire. There were fires to the south and to the east and to the west. The city was walled in with flames on three sides and the streets were iiupassa ble. Out of the contusion and chaotic spawn of rumors, it became soon apparent that the bulk of the damage had been done in South and East St. Louis. No one knew the extent of it and all feared to guess. That it was unprecedented was intuitively surmise-!. Up in the city, where the full force of the charge of the angry clouds was not felt, the ruin gave a faint indication of what it was where the torus 1 iluid mowe 1 a path through the solid evidences of the industry of man. A steady stream of travel took its way toward the south and nil night long it ebbed and tlowed out of scenes of misery and devastation into scenes of devastation and misery. The rain did service in putting out numerous tires the firemen could not reach and then died slowly and sullenly, as though angry at being called upon to render any succor to the victims of its allied friends, the wind and the clouds. To the Rescue. Brave men, with heads cool and hearts true, realized, as soon as the full fury of the visitation was spent, that there was work for them to do. The City Dispensary naturally became the central point of news am! succor. Every minute news of fresh horrors was received. Ambulances’began to reach the city hall loaded down with wounded and dead before any measures looking to their care could lie taken. Physicians, full of energy, willing to do their part, came from every district in the city that had not been touched by j the storm. Volunteers poured in from । every direction, ready to dig and delve or

do anything to assist the authorities. Eight hours followed such as never be--1 fore were ticked off by the clocks of St. Louis; eight hours of terror and uncer- । tainty. The innermost recesses of the ; highest mountain ranges were scarcely > more difficult of access than were the I stricken districts. A darkness that seems ed all the more impenetrable because it . was experienced by a people unused to 1 darkness, hid the view of one side of the street from pedestrians on the other, i Wires hung at all angles or lay on the i ground, tripping those who tried to cross j them at every step. Telegraph poles wwe

; spread in every direction in the downtown I districts and the remnants of buildings I that had stood the brunt of the storm were stacked up like small hills on every , corner. Those who ventured into that i portion of the city lying south of Clark avenue took their lives in their hands. It was like defying fate to plunge into the vortex of ruin, but fate was defied. Trucks loaded with firemen were sent out to clear roads leading to the hospital from South St. Louis. Then men ’Wn them were equipped with wire cutters and axes, and they blazed paths through piles of wreckage. The bulk of the horror of the night was grouped at the morgue, at the City Dispensary and at the hospital on Seventeenth and Pine streets. Down the narrow alley back of the city hall ambulance after ambulance swung in, loaded down with suffering humanity. The limited quarters were a repository for tlm mis-

ery of days crowded into hours. -Nearly all the victims brought in were completely naked, stripped by the violence of the storm. Speed was necessary in Heating them and the gentle, kindly words of the surgeon who has plenty of time were not spoken. It was hurry, hurry, hurry. A man with one fractured leg would give way on an operating table to a man with both legs fractured, or a woman with her tender flesh hanging in shreds. Little children, torn and crushed, were brought in and laid before the surgeons, their shrill i-rios nml nioani contrasting with tlx- howls of the more powerful adults. They camo in a swift stream that seemed to be without end, all night long, and it appeared to those who handled them that the sights and sounds grew more terrible ns the hours crept by. Among the Mangled. The scenes at the hospital were a repetition of those at the dispensary. It was ■nt the morgue that the full force of the j disaster was brought to the umlorstaud- ; ing. The little slate colored building on , Twelfth and Spruce was the magnet that drew a funeral procession, radiating from every part of the South Side. First, the slabs were filled in the usual way, one body to a slab, and then two slabs were placed together and made the resting place for four bodies. Still the corpses came. They were dumped in like grist into a mill. I All night long St. Louis and East St,

i Louis were ci' es alone in their terribk i desolation, almost entirely cut off from I communh at ion with the rest of tl:e world. And in all the horror of the black night and its terrible developments r igned a i feeling of dread for what might be dlsI closed by the day. When the first gray eoloring in the eastern sky gave evidence i of the coming of the light, the watcher* gazed with mingled feelings of thankful- ; ness nnd fear. Objects bce.ime discernible dimly as the sun mounted higher on the course of his daily journey, emphasizing the ruin that was rather felt than ■ ' seen in the gloom of the night. After the Storm. The first reports of the great storm were considerably exaggerated, as is usually the case when such a calamity occurs. It w.is impossible in the confusion and darkness to obtain definite information, and the stories of havoc and fatality wore magnified by the exciting mfluenect ' of the situation. The number of killed, which was hastily estimated at 1,000, la now known to be less than 500 for St ' Louis and East St. Louis, while the de--1 struetion of property may be put at not to exceed S3,()(H),(X'G. It is impossible to tell how many were wounded, but the i list is likely to be several times ns large ' as that of the dead; ami there nre huni- dreds of houseless and destitute families, - thankful in their distress that they es- : caped with their lives. The work of suci coring the needy is being carried on with ■ all possible diligence nnd effectiveness. I There was a quick response of public sym- • pathy and charity to the demands of the > occasion, and well organized efforts of re- ; lief give assurance that no suffering will be neglected and no means spared to restore general comfort and happiness. It i null take some time to repair the property • ' damages, but the undertaking is already

in progress and will be pushed forward with characteristic American pluck and enterprise until the last vestige of the misfortune is removed. , The estimated cost of the Suez canal . was $40,000,000.

YEAR OF DISASTERS. LOSS OF LIFE HAS ALREADY BEEN VERY GREAT. Storms, Fire and Flood Have Sent Many Human Beings to Fearful Deaths—St. Louis Was the Scene of the First Horror of 189 U, Muy a Dark Month. Disaster has been a frequent feature of the current year. With but live months to its credit, 181)6 has written a record of destruction that will stand. It cannot be surpassed. Fire, flood and high winds have been the principal causes of calamity, and it is impossible that these could have been foreseen or their results avoided. Two or throe mine horrors th it have accounted for as many hundreds of deaths may be properly charged to the negligence of the owners and operatives. The great weight of misfortune, however, could not have been shifted by human agency. Ono cannot empty a swollen river with a tin dipper or whistle down a hurricane.

The property losses will aggregate upward of .575,000,000. In the cyclone excitement three other disasters passed almost unnoticed. Blue Island, 111., nearly' lost its place on the map as a town. Fire destroyed thirty six I houses and business blocks May 17. On the same day the schooner Ayer and gtcamer Onoko collideil off Ractue. Five sailors were drowned. A weak railway bridge at Victoria, B. C„ permitted a loaded passenger car to fall through. Nearly 100 persons were drowned. As was said, the year has lived less than half its term and there is time for the tale of calamity to grow. Charles Mi’Carthy, acting manager of McCarthy's American company playing “One of the Bravest” in English provinces, met with a serious accident at AVakefiehl. In the fire scene he rescues ti woman from the upper story of a burning house. While descending with the woman in his arms the »>pe broke and both fell to the stage. Charles L.

ANDERSON’S ESCAPE. How a Real Kntate Dealer’s Presence of Mind Averted a Disaster. A circus trick seldom seen out of the sawdust arena was performed by Mr. 1,. E. Anderson, a St. Louis real estate man, a few days ago. It narrowly averted a collision and probably saved a man’s life, although Mr. Anderson himself was painfully though not seriously injured in the fray. Mr. Anderson is considered to be the crack horseman of St. Louis. He js the owner of a fine saddle horse, a spirited animal, with which he is on the most intimate terms. A few evenings ago he rode out to Forest Park, ns is his daily custom. The animal was in high feather and aped lustily along one of the narrower driveways of the park. Suddenly Mr. Anderson noticed a bicycle rider scorching toward r t /5L 'pA. p? ^^o "111 ELMAN MlllKl.S LNDEB TH E IIoRSE. him. There was no time for clearing away, and a collision seemed inevitable. ilh rare presem e of mind Mr. Anderson cue his horse the spurs. lifted him up by the bridle and made him stand on his hand legs. The scorching wheelman, scarcely realizing the danger he was escaping. passe l underm-ath horse .and rider unharmed. It was a remarkable sja-cta. <le for those who were lucky enough to L-- near. But the hoi>e careened in some way. and Mr. Andi-r.-on's left hand was broken in the middle. It will be some time before he will le able to use it again. Ihe inspiration of the moment nnd the instantaneous obi-da-nce of the animal to its ma-ter's touch saved the wheelman's life, or at least his limbs, f.-r a moment Li'er he would have run into the cantering horse.

WANT BONDS BARRED SENATORS ADOPT THE BUTLER MEASURE, 32 TO 25. Further Issues, Without Consent of Congress, Prohibited—Lively- Debate Precedes the Vote —Pass River and Harbor Bill Over President's Veto. Anti-bond Bill Passed. At 7 o’clock Tuesday night the long struggle in the Senate over the bill to prohibit the issue of bonds came to an end and the bill was passed by a vote of 32 to 25. The bill as passed covers only three lines, as follows: “Be it enacted that the issuance of in-terest-bearing bonds of the United States for any purpose whatever without further authority of Congress is hereby prohibited.” The vote on its final passage was as follows: YEAS. (Republicans.) Brown, I’ettlgrevr, Cannon. Pritchard, Dubois, Teller, Hansbrougb, Warren Mitchell (Ure.), Wolcott—lo, (Democrats.) Bacon, Morgan, Date. Pasco, Kerry, Pugh, Chilton, Tillman, Daniel, Turple, George, Vest, Harris, Walthall. Jones (Ark.) White—lT. Mills. (Populists.) Alien, Peffer, Butler, Stewart-5. Jones (Nev.) NAYS. (Republicans.)

Cattery, Palmer, Faulkner, Smith, HUI. Vilas-9. Lindsay. Ihe voting did not begin until 6:30 p. in., nt which time the chamber was dimly lighted and the galleries almost empty. A flood of amendments were first voted down, all being defeated. One by Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island gave the executive power to issue bonds in certain emergencies, another by Mr. Aldrich providcl that the act should not impair the obligation to pay in coin. Mr. Hill’s amendment that treasury notes be retired when redeemed was tabled -43 to 12. Mr. Quay’s amendment fur the substitution of coin notes fur treasury notes was defeated without a yea and nay vote. The last preliminary vote was on Mr. Hill’s motion to postpone the subject until next December, which was defeated. Then came the final vote. River and Harbor Bill. The report of the Committee on Rivent nnd Harbors recommending the passage of the bi.i over the President’s veto was made by Chairman Hooker, and the report w.is read. Mr. Hooker moved the pi -- ige ot th ' bill, saying that the committee was of the opinion that the President’s message cover.-.! every possible objection to tlie bill and that the report answt red all objections. “Many members have asked me for time to debate this matter," he said, "and to yield to their requests would take much time. Without expressing any opinion on the question whether there be debate and to test the opinion .of the House on the question whether debate is necessary I will demand the previous question.” Instantly Mr. Dockery (Dem.) of Missouri was on his feet demanding recognition, but the speaker told him that debate was not iu order. Members were shouting “Vote, vote,” but the voice of Mr. Dockery pierced the uproar, shouting: "The gentleman agreed with me yesterday to have debate on this bill. This is unfair, unjust, unmanly.” The House demanded the previous question- 178 to 60 by a rising vote, and only 46 rose to sustain the request for yeas and nays. ‘'Under the rules the vote on the passage of the bill must be taken by yeas and nays,” the speaker announced. “Is there no rule by vrhich we can have debate?” asked Mr. Dockery. ’ Not if the House orders the contrary,” said Speaker Reed. "And the House has so ordered—to stifle debate,” responded Mr. Dockery. The bill was passed by a vote of 220 to 60, a wide margin over the necessary twothirds. The Democrats who voted to pass th« bill over tlw veto were: Bankhead (Ala.), McCulloch (Ark.), Berry (Ky.), McMillin (Tenn.y Buck (La.*.
