Great Desolation and Death, Dead, Dying and Homeless Ming ling in the Debris. GuTimiE, O. T , April 1. The latest reports from Chandler say that the cy clone, which almost swept the town off the face of the earth, twenty peo ple were killed outright or burned to death, and fully 150 injured. Of these latter it is thought fourteen will die and twenty-four others are in a danger ous condition. The remainder of the population is homeless. The Presbyteriin church, Mitchell's ho tel ond two other buildings are all that remain standing. These have been turned into hospitals. The property loss will aggregate $500,000. There arc not half enough coffins here to bury the dead. Thejpeopie were slow to recover from the shock of the calamity, and not until day did anything like system prevail in the work of relief. Save one slow working telephone wire out of Chandler, and but one telegraph wire from Guthrie, the town is ltill pracrically cut off from the outRldc world. The storm broke upon the city suddenly. The sky was clear an hour before. Shortly before six o'clock a mass of dark clouds gathered In the southeast and then whirled north. They soon developed into a funnel shaped monster and drew down upon the outskirts of the town. The mas touched the ground and the roar' was deafening. The funnel split as it struck the southwest border of Chand ler, which is situated on a hill over looking Cow Creek valley, and one half went torough the town and the other turned north. Before escape was possible the cyclone had passed through the town. Tearing through the business dis trict, stores were hurled right and left, or lifted high Into the air and tossed in every direction. One of the occu pants was killed outright, and a dozen others injured. Further down Main street the Lincoln county'bank build-, lng was toppled over and was soon en veloped in flames. Here before aid could reach them, live unfortunates were burned to death, pinned down by heavy timbers. Still further down the street three children suffered a like fate. A two-days-old babe was carried four blocks and ndt injured, while the mother was crushed in her bed. The trail the storm left was one of wreck and ruin most complete. But one of Chandler's physicians es caped iujury, ond even when aid from Guthrie arrived there was a scarcity of surgeons. Only two of these were able to do anything last night, and one of these, Dr. Walcott, with blood streaming from a sightless eye, worked until ho fainted. Daylight brought hundreds of people from the surrounding towns, and women and children assisted in caring for the In jured. Queer sights greet the eye on all sides. Ten trees have a house roof on each; clothing and household goods are scattered in the streets; dead horses, cows and other animals are to be seen everywhere, while a pile of ruins has a fine piano perched on top of It. Many of the citizens wander about the streets dazed at the calam ity and almost on the verge of insan ity at the loss of family and homes. Two or three have gone stark mad. By nightfall 10,000 people had flocked into the city. Many came to render aid, but the majority are there as morbid slght-scers, Great quanti ties of clothing, bedding and provis ions have been sent in and a Guthrie club has raised $1,500 In. casii to send tomorrow. The city has put to use all Its cash, about $700, for immediate aid. Hundreds of tents have been sent from Fort Remind Guthrie, and will provide temporary shelter for tho ranice. xr you want to see a cooa com unfortunates.

FLOODS, 3 The Terrors Are 'increasing,, ft Rain and Wind Add to the River Dangers, Memphis, Tenn., Aprll 1. A heavy rainfall, accompanied, by a strong gale from the west, Is adding to the terror of the flood situation. One hundred and fifteen miles below Memphis, In the Mississippi delta, there are four breaks, and each is leltiog in a stream as large as the Ohio river at Cincin nati, or tho Hudson at -Albany, and this tremendous outflow has caused a la.il of only one-tenth of an inch at Vlcksburg, immediately below the last break. The rairi and wind will cause more breaks. The river is now like an inland sea, and this afternoon a telegram from a point below Rose dale, Miss., announced that the waves were pounding against the levee and that at frequent Intervals the water tore itself loose from the main channel and dashed over the embankment. This being true, there will be, in all probability, miore creyasses befor morning. All the forces of nature are against the people. Tho , rainfall Increases, and tho wind intensities the duogcr. On the Arkansas side the levee from Helena to Arkansas City is as full of men as tho Inner wall of a beseiged fortification. ( There is a break at Westover, -which ocenrred at an early hour in the morning. A thousand men were at work on the levees when the craih came. For a moment a thin thread of water began to trickle from the Inner wall of. the embankment. Ex perienced levee men saw the danger and cried -out a worlof jvrirnlng, and tho laborers rushed back but in five minutes a gap of 50 feet wide and six feet deep was torn In the wall of earth. The break grew until it is now several handred feet wide. The crevasse Is 10 miles below Helena, and tho water rushing through it will de stroy a dozen splendid plantations and may back up to Helena. ThoLacona circle country, a few miles below Westover. Is under water. This circle is surrounded by u levee. The levee In the rear wall went to pieces at a late hour on Monday, and the water rushed in and spread Itself over and across some of the most fertile land in Arkansas, cut up into plantations and giving support to no less than 5000 people.

Washington, April 1. The house passed tho tariff bill by a vote of 205 to 121, 21 not .voting. Voting on bill had not begun until 3 o'clock yes terday at ternoon.but the gallarles were crowded early to witness tho maneu vering leading up to the climax of the ten days' battle. Dlngley and Bailey, tho opposing leaders were in their places when Speaker Reed called tho house to order at 1 o'clock. Richardson, of Tennessee, called attention to the fact that there was manifestly no quorum present, but declined, on account of the brief tlmo remaining for the con sideration of tho bill, to make the point. Grosvenor presented the amend ment, about which there has been so much discussion during the last ten days, fixing April 1st as the date on which the bill shall go Into effect. The democrats were alert. M. Bailey immediately gained the point that the amendment was out of order. It was abnoxious, ho said, to the oldest and best rule of law, that no statute shall be retroactive. As the hour for voting arrived the excitement increased. Fifteen min utes before 3 o'clock McMillin was recognized for five minutes to close the debate for his side. Dlngley took the floor and closed the debate In a ten-minute speech. Bailey demanded a special yotc on the amendment iixing date when the bill goes into effect as April 1. The roll call was demanded on the amend ment, and It was adopted by a vote of 200 to 140. The combined opposition of tho Democrats, Populists and free silyerltcs voted against the amend ment, except Mr. Newland (silver) of Nevada, who voted for It, and Messrs. nartman (silver) of Montana, Jones (fuslonlst) of Washington, Martin (Populist) of North Carolina and Stroud (Populist) of North Carolina, who did not vote. Tho bill was then ordered read the third time, after which Dockcry offered the motion for for the minority to recommit tho bill with instructions. Contrary to the general expectation, no point of order was raised against tho motion. Dlngley, howoyer Im mediately demanded tho previous question on tho motion. -.which was ordered, and, wlthont debate, a vote was taken upon It by yeas and nays The motion to recommit was lost. 148 to 100. The Republicans vote stolidly againgtthe motion and the comblaed opposition, with the exception of Nowlands for it. nartman, of Mon tana, Jono' of Washington, Martin of South Carolina, Shuford and Stroud of North Carolina, who did not vote on the proceed lng votes, wero recorded in favor of the motion, The roll on the passage of tho bill was then taken and followed with In terest. Not a break occurred in- tho Republican ranks. Five Democrats, Meyer, Brousand and Davey of Louis iana, and Kleberg and Slaydcn of Texas voted with the majority. Howard of Alabama was ttie only Populist who voted for the bill, but twenty-one of the Populists, fusion lsts and sllvcrltes declined to record themselves either way. Before an nouncing the result of tho vote the speaker directed his name to bo called. "Mr. Reed," shouted the clerk. "Aye,'' replied tho speaker. The Republicans applauded vigor ously when the spearker announced the results "Ayes 205, noes 121, absent and not voting twenty-one, and 60 the bill is passed," the Republicans arofo en masse and cheered. The gullcrks Joined In the demonstration. Imme diately afterward, on Dlngley's mo tion, the house adjourned until Saturday. CRETE, The Insurgents Bombarded, Caetans Driven From the Strongs Hold.

London, April 1. The Canea cor respondent of the Standard will say today In describing tho bombardment by the foreign warships of the posi tion taken up by the Insurgents on tho hill to the south of Suda bay last evening. When the Cretans began tho attack Col, Bor proposed to the admirals that they should land a mixed force of 500 men to depose the Insurgents from the post that they occupied be hind a strong wall along a raylne. Half an hour later tho foroign ad mirals signaled their intention to bombard. The Grozlastilchy fired first, then II. M.S. Ardent,and finally the Austrian gunboat Tiger. Each vessel iiicd in its turn, aiming chiefly at the Greeck flag, which was hoisted above the walls. The Ardent ceased tiring at 0:30, but the Grozlastichy, ranging close In shore, by degrees, pounded down tho walls, yard by yard, eycry shot telling. Wheat.
