Chicago, Feb. 28. The Uvea of seven
people were instantly crushed out in
their sleep this morning, one other per
son fatally hurt, and two more thtnjrer
ouslv. Shortly afur midnight a heavy
wind sprang up, increasing to a pile,
then almost to a hurricane. At Hal
stead and Nineteenth streets stood the
store wall of Jolin York's dry-goods
house, recently gutted by fire. Tart of
the walls were left standing, and on
these the proprietor begun to rebuild.
The walls, which had reached a height
oi five stories, were still green and in
sufficiently braced. They gave way be
fore the tornado, and foil with a deafen
ing crash about 1 :o0 o'clock this morn

occupied as a dwelling by the family of
John Schmidt, a saloon-keeier, and

Vienna, Feb. :S. A terrible calamity
has overtaken the village of Gergely,
near Paks, llunjmry. Owing to a sud
den rise in the Danube, its l.fiOO inhab
itants were forced to flee f rom their mud
huts to the church and school. The ad
vancing waters finally compelled them
to flee from these refugee or be drowned
in them. When they turned out again,
the flood surged nearly to their waisu.
The children and inlirui were assisted
by the stronger as they struggled along
toward Paks, with the waters continually
rising. First one, a mother with five
children, gave np, sank and perished in
the flood. Those were followed by many
others, the number of whom isunknown,
and the survivors reached Paks in an
exhausted, pitiable plight. No doubt
the number drowned is very large. The
people of Paks are deeply concerned for
their own safety, as the Danube is 20
feet above normal.

forcing tha I'arinc Mall.
asiiincton, tub, 28. It Is an
uounced as a fact by the friends of the
North American Navigation Com pun
that a contract had been made by that
company and It he Panama railway for
the carrying trade between Panama and
San Francisco, Colon and New York
The Pacitic Mail Company is thus com
pletelv defeated, and the prediction is
made that the new combination will cu
freight rates via the Isthumus and, by
forming a competing line to the trans
continental roads, will force down the
latter's freight ratee. The contract Is
said to have been signed yesterday, and
was probably due to the general impree
sion that the investigation of the
Panama scandal would, as far as this
country is concerned, be finished. The
commission, it is anticipated, will make
a report to the effect that, while some of
the money sent to the United 8tates
probably was used corruptly, it is ',im
possible to trace it. Since the chief tear
of the Panama railway (was thus dis
posed of, there remained no reason why
it should not continue in its refusal to
make a contract with the Pacific Mail
Company and turn to the navigation
company association, with which it
would be advantageous. It is under
stood that by the terms of the agree
ment the contract will be rendered void
the moment the North American Navi
gation Company enters into the trans
continental pool. The Pacific Mail is
readr to sell out to the North American
Navigation, it is understood.
A Krlssard in Wtieoaila.
Hudson-, Wis., Feb. 2S. The severest
storm in many years visited this section
last night. Twenty-two inches of snow
fell, followed by a cutting wind from the
northwest. All trains on the northeast
and south divisions of the Omaha road
are blocked within a lew miles of this
city. The last train out of here at 5

clear, but the drifted snow obstructs all
kinds of traffic. Street-cars stopped
running during the night and djd not
resume till late this morning. The
same state of affairs exists throughout
the northwest. The snow is two feet
deep on a level in many places, and
badly drifted in others. Railroad traffic
is about at a standstill. Redwing and
Stillwater are cut off from the outside
world.
The Dreaded Seonrge.
Pobtlasd, Or., Feb. 28. The five cases
of smallpox which have been mentioned
in the columns of the Telegram for the
past few days are doing well nnder the
care of Dr. Wheeler, and no new de
velopments of the dreaded disease are
reported. Agnea Bradley, who with
Genevieve Lonlwic is at the pesthouse,

Henteaeed for Life.
Portland, Or., Feb. 2S. Frank Ohleg
schlager, the murderer of William II
Woolridge, was sentenced to the pen!
tentiary for life this morning by Judge
Stearns.
Human nature asserted itself again in
the presence of a large crowd of specta
tore, who were drawn to the courtroom
for the sole purpose of hearing sentence
pronounced and observing its effect
upon the miserable wretch to whom it
applied. When asked if he had any
thing to say as to why sentence should
not be passed, Ohlegschlager replied :
"Nothing," and when the judgment of
the court fell upon his ears his eyes
filled with tears, and. apparently, for
the first time the murderer realized all
that has happened. He walked out of
the courtroom with head bowed and
face highly flushed, and will be taken to
the penitentiary on this evening's train
McKlnley Ioee Not Want Charity.
Cleveland, O., Feb. 28. Governor
McKlnley has written a letter to the
Leader, which has been receiving volun

Steve Lowe was in from Olene yester
day. As soon as spring opens Mr. Lowe
will start his shingle mill and run it for
greater results than ever. The country
everywhere is rapidly settling np, and
shingles will be called for with a louder
and perhaps a sweeter voice. The voice
of a sweet lady settler calling for shin
gles to cover her roof would thrill Steve
through and through. He has on band
now about 25,000 shingles, and will
probably move the mill to a point some
where near the Falls, on the Fort road.
Republic of Han Iomlogo.
Wasiiiroton, March 1. General Uli-
ses Heureaux is the president of the re
public of San Domingo, control of which
has just been purchased by a syndicate
in the United States. He is intelligent
and acts for the best interests of his
people. The government was over
whelmingly in debt, owing to a system
of smuggling that has decreased the
revenues. This will now be stopped, as
the government custom officers can only
be appointed by consent of the Ameri
can company. The island has an area
of about 20,000 square miles and a popu
lation of 350,000. The syndicate is
composed of the law firm of Brown &
Wells, New York ; John W. Taylor, of
Newark, N. J ; Postmaster-General
Wanamaker, Senator Quay, and others.
Heureaux will continue in the presi
dency. Slacker Hot Ho Wall.
Sai Fbacisco, March 1. John W.
Mackay'i condition is not so favorable
this morning. The doctors decided the
wound was healing too rapidly, so it was
reopened. There was found in the
wound the beginning of a pus sac which
might have canted blood poisoning if
undisturbed. The object of reopening
the wound was to allow it to granulate
from the inside outward.
I'.ippey's condition is unchanged. He
slept well last night, and seemed com
fortable this morning. ' The old man
talks considerably, and his appetite is
improving.

Providence, injured internally ; and
Andrew Vanich and wife, cut alxmt the

mar school. lU'foro tlio girl wu ont of
her teens and when Mr. McKay was

Stonington at S o'clock, and is due in
this city at 4:30. Just before reaching
Pawtiacket the coaches parted, causing a
delay Of one hour. The train stopped
on Pawtueket bridge for repairs, and
brakeman was sent back to flag the New
York train, but too lute to avert a col
Iuion. The New lork mail dashed up
at a 20-mile cult. The engine crashed
into the rear end of the boat train
smashing the carriages into kindling
wood. The engine of the latter was
wrecked, and the combination car ncx
to it was badly broken up. The fireman

Fifteen or Twenty Injured.
Littlx Rock, Ark., March 1. A
south-bound train on the Iron Mountain
railroad, which left here this morning
at 3 o'clock, was wrecked near Hope, 110
miles from here. The baggage car and
two coaches were burned, and a later
report says one sleeper was burned
There are conflicting reports as to the
number of people injured. The number
of dead and injured reported is all the
way from five to twenty. The railway
people decline to give out anything in
regard to the matter, and it will be sev
eral hours before details can be obtained.
The accident occurred about fi :It0 this
morning. Two coaches and the chair
car wore burned, lietween la and -U
persons were injured, none seriomly.
L. TuIIis, editor of the Hope Gazette,
is reported in the list.
To Annex l-'tah with Nevada.
Chxyenne, Wyo., March 1. Senator
tewart's project to annex Utah with
Nevada meets with great favor here so
far as it relates to the disappearance of
Utah as a territory. Leading men of
Wyoming have long cherished a hope
that the eastern part of Utah, including
Salt Lake City and Ogdun, and much
orchard, pasture, farming and mineral
land, might become a part of Wyoming.
This claim on behalf of this state will be
advanced and pressed when Senator
Stewart moves with his scheme. Wyo
ming and Utah are friendly. Most of
the immigration to the western part of
this state is from the territory, and
there are several large Mormon settle
ments in Wyoming.
Money for M'Klnley.
Chicago, March 1. In view of the
fact that H. 11. Kohlsaat, one of the
proprietors of the Inter Ocean, is one of
the trustees to whom Governor McKin
ley turned over his property, an edito
rial in that paper this morning is signif
icant. It says the movement to raiso a
fund to pay McKinley'e debts seems
irrepressible; that trustees cannot, as
requested by many, open a subscription
lor the purpose because the governor
refuses to allow it, but says it will be
perfectly right for his friends to go
ahead and send subscriptions to the
trustees, with the assurance they will
be faithfully applied to the object intended.
Procidentia! Nomination.
Washington, March 1. The president
sent to the senate today the following
nominations: Truxton Beale, of Cali
fornia, to be envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary and consul
general of the United States to Rou ma
nia, Servia and Greece; Genio M. Lam
beriiwn, of Nebraska, to be arbitrator
on the part of the United States under
the treaty for the claims commission
concluded between the United States
and Chili.
KM-.h Meqneet to Ifarrard.
Boston, March 1. It was learned
from a Harvard professor today that
Gordon McKay, the millionaire inventor
and manufacturer, is the man who has
left between 12,000,000 and 4 ,000,000 in
trust to Harvard university. One of
McKay's most intimate friends is a Har
vard professor, who is very popular and
at the tame time very influential in ed
ucational circles, and it is probably
through his acquaintance that Harvard
will get, at Mr. McKay's death, his en
tire wealth. Mr. McKay formerly lived
in Cambridge, and there perfected most
l'lea for liar Throne.
New Youk, March 1. The Princess
Kaiaulanl, niece of the deposed queen
l.iHuokulanl, of Iluwuii, is here. She
arrived today on the steamer Teutonic
which suited from Uvurpool February
22d. The princess Is IK years old. She
Is a tall, beautiful youn woman of
sweet face and slender figure.. She has
the soft brown eyes and dark complex
Ion that mark the Hawaiian bounty.
She hud come to tho United States, sho
said, more for tho purjiose of learning
and observing for herself the nature of
tho people who had been asked to take
control of her country than to make a
formal petition for hur crown. "That,"
she said, "is rightfully mine, and if the
Americans are the noble-minded people
I have learned to regard thorn, thpy will
not be a party to the,' outrage by which
I have lost my birthright." In regard
to her views on tho serious aspects
which the Hawaiian government in
likely to assume, the princess referred
to her guardian, Mr. Davies, who has
prepared a statement; both on his own
and her behalf. The statement of Prin
cess Kaiaulanl is us follows:
"I stand on your shore today, where
I thought so soon to receive a royal wel
ciime ou my way to my own kingdom.
I come unattended, except by the loving
hearts that have come with mo over the
wintry seas. I hear that commianloners
from my land have been for many days
asking this nation to take away my lit
tle vineyard. They spoke no Word to
me, and leave me to (hid out as I can
from the rumors of the air that they
would leave me without a home or a
name or a nation. Seventy years ago,
Christian America sent over Christian
men and women to give religion and civ
ilization to Hawaii. They gave us the gos
pul; they made us a nation, and we
learned to love and trust America. Today
three sons of those missionaries are at
your capital asking you to nndo their
fathers' work. Who sent them and gave
them authority to break the constitution
which they swore they would uphold?
Today, I, a poor, weak girl, with not one
of my people nenr me, and all these
Hawaiian statesman against me, have
strength to stand up for the rights of
my people. Even now I can hear their
wail in my heart, and it gives me
strength and courage and I am strong;
stong in the faith of God; strong in the
knowledge that I am right ; strong in the
strength of 70,000,000 of people, who in
this free land will hear my cry and will
refuse to let their flag cover dishonor to
mine."

Oregon has no fish commisioners this
rear. The old law was repealed uy me
passage of the new one, and Governor
Pennoyer fixed the new one with his
little veto, consequently Oregon is with
out a fish commission. The new bill,
that Pennoyer vetoed, provided for five
commissioners. There will be no one
to enforce the Sunday close law and the
fishermen will just help themselves, and
they ought to. Let them fish on Sun
day and any time. Catch al! they can,
as this will probably be the last year for
gill net fishermen. They should be al
lowed to make as much money as possi
ble this season so as to have enough to

Coyote liaae.
EuKrne (iuard.
The chase advertised to come off at
the Stewart race track this afternoon
was attended by about seventy-five peo
ple in spito of the rain. One coyote had
died, leaving but one to answer the roll
call, and even this had only three feet
to use. There were five or six dogs and
they caught the wild animal. Yes, they
couldn't help it. A flea can catch a pig
if the pen is small enough, and enough
fleas can make said pig exceedingly un
comfortable. The sports (?) released the
coyoto the first time to see the dugs over
take it and five of them kill it. It was
a very successful affair.

The bill to abolish the present system
of collecting taxes passed both houses.
It goes into effect at once. It does awav
with the necessity of the sheriff visiting
every precinct In the rounty for the rmr
iwiso of collecting taxes, and hereafter
every person must call at the sheriff's
olllce and rwy Ids Uses there. It is
probable under this system copies of the
rolls will be sent to responsible parties
at various places in the county and they
can receive the taxes due.
