THE TORNADO'S WORK
Terrible Destruction Caused
by Wind in Ohio.
TWO KILLED AND MANY INJURED
Trees and Buildings in Its rath Swept
A way Several Villages Almost
Annihilated.
Fbbmont. Ohio. April 2. A tornado
accompanied by a heavy rainfall swept
over the northwestern part of Sandusky
conntv about 3 o'clock veaterday after
noon, killing two persons, injuring
number of othera and doing great dam
age to buildings and other property.
The tornado came from the southwest
with great fury and every tree and
building in its path was a wept away.
After smashing the road bridge and
blowing a big tree across a Wheeling &
Lake Erie freicht train, which crushed
the caboose and came near killing
number of trainmen, the wind began to
nlav havoc with farm buildings. The
house of James Greene was destroyed
Greene's aged father, "VVm. L. Greene,
wins killed outright, his wiio was fatally
hart, and the baby carried across the
road in its cradle. The child escaped
uninjured. Next the barn of Amos
Harrick, in which Harrick and John
Low were shearing sheep was crushed.
Low was blown across the field against
a tree, being instantly killed. .
At - Book town, a hamlet near here,
nearly all the buildings were destroyed,
but there was no loss of life. The storm
covered a wide tract - and it is possible
that farther damage was done.

official investigation may be made.
but as those making the said charges
positively declined to furnish as with
any evidence, whatever, in support of
them, and as the official records, sub
mitted to us by the churches, served by
you in this vicinity and particularly by
the one in this city, vindicate you in the
most unequivocal manner, we find no
ground on .which to question your
standing in the slightest degree. We
therefore bid you farewell with" this ex'
pression ot our fraternal confidence and
esteem, and commend you to the lovo
and fellowship of the brethren and
Christian churches in the new field of
ministerial service, to which God in His
presence has called you.

A. W. Sthykeb, Henry Wall,
President. Secretary
The council of the Lutheran church in
this city has also fully investigated the
matter referred to in the above letter,
and finds the attack on the character of
Rev. L. Grey to be, not only entirely
unwarranted, but really of a malicious
origin.
A Logger Killed.
New Whatcom, Wash., April 21. A
serious accident occurred at J. D. Hays'
logging camp at Belfast, twenty miles

A Promise Faithfully Kept.
In our issue of March 12th last, Rev,
L. Grey requested the community to
withhold their judgment concerning the
charges made againBt him by a number
of ministers until he bad an opportunity
. to refute them, promising to do so in the
fullest manner. He has now fulfilled
that promise. ,
The council of the Lutheran church in
this city, in view of certain published
. . statements referring upon the character
of the Eev. L. Grey, recently called from
Oregon City to assume the pastorate of
the local church, have requested the
publication of the following testimonial,
which speaks for Itself : .
Obegon Citt, April 7, 1896.
To Eev. L. Qrey:
Reverend and Deab Brother: In
view of your departure from our city,
and the consequent severance of your
relation to the Ministerial Association
here, the undersigned, are instructed by
that body to tender you this testimonial
of our brotherly esteem and good wishes
for your future success in the Master's
work.
At your request we have made as
strict an examination as we were able to
do, into the charges recently published
$ in the secular press affecting your minis
terial standing and personal character,
In the Oregonlan ot Sunday appeared
the following:
Oregon City, April 18, 1896,
The published condemnation of the
Eev. L. Grey by President Mollenauer,
of the Washington district of the Ohio
synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, led to an investigation by the
council of Mr. Grey's church in this
city, the government ot which is essen
tially Congregational, and the council's
findings are quite interesting. President
Mollenauer's public warning contained
no distinct charges, but intimated that a
partial investigation of Mr. Grey had
been frustrated by the withdrawal of
Mr. Grey aud his congregation from the
synod and the direct statement was
made that the pastor was a man of "un
reliable character." ,The report of the
council goes somewhat into the history
of the matter. It particularly gives the
names of persons, dates and alleges that
the evil reports concerning Mr. Grey
were the result of a conspiracy, in which
so many ministers of the denomination
in the Washington district were impli
cated, that it was necessary for this
church, to. sever its relations with, the
synod in order to avoid becoming a
partner in the conspiracy against the
absolutely innocent Eev. L. Grey.
This was the result of a church trial
held here in January. The local congre
gation and the pastor tried to get the
accusers to submit charges, but this was
refused them. However, whatsoever .of
the chaiges that could be picked up
from rumors, were considered by the
council and they are pronounced to be
groundless. The council declares Its
unqualified faith in Mr. Grey, and says
that his character has been "very
wrongfully slandered" by Mr. Mollen
auer. .
At the request of Mr. Grey, the
ministerial association of this city offered
to examine any charges which might be
preferred against him by the authorities
of the Washington district, but such
authorities declined to submit any
charges for such action.
This week Mr. Grey left here for his
new pastorate in The Dalles, but be will
return here to preach once a month.
CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE -
Willing: to Purchase it From
Spain.
CLEVELAND'S NOTE TO MADRID
Rumors That Senor Palms Suggested
This Method as Satisfactory Don't
Want Home Rule.
Chicago, April 22. A special to the
Tribune, from Washington, says :
In snite of official denials at the state
department, it is now admitted gener
ally that a note has been sent to Madrid
by Secretaiy Olney. An additional re
port is now in circulation to the effect
that this note was a forerunner of a
proposition on the part of the president
that Cuba should be ; allowed to pur
chase her independence from Spain, and
that Senor Palma, who is to be made
minister of the Cuban government here
as soon as his country's independence is
gained, suggested this plan to Mr. Cleve
land, telling him it would be satisfac
tory to the Cubans. The Cuban lead

Understanding
Between United States
and Spain.
New York, April 23. A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says :
live report that an understanding is
about to be reached between Spain and
the United States in regard to Cuba is
favorably received in financial and com
mercial circles, without stopping to in
quire whether the welcome news is true
or not. According to the current story
the Spanish government, is to grant to
Cuba, very Boon, home rule on a much
broader scale than contemplated in the
bills which have so far passed the cortes.
and this concession is to be supplement
ed by tariff reforms and a treaty of re
ciprocity to develop the trade between
the United States and the Spanish West
Indies. - : , . . "
The Liberal says: "The Spanish
mothers, whose 130,000 sons are about
to be exposed to the deadly climate of
Cuba during the rainy season, the Span
ish tax-payers who apprehend the con
sequences of the Heavy cost of a . pro
longed civil war, and, indeed, the whole
nation at heart would gladly welcome
pacification of Cuba by an early, sincere
concession of reforms now admitted by
almost all Spanish politicians to be urg
ent and inevitable."'.
It is obviously the prevalent impres
sion in many classes that the best course
for Spain to pursue is to bow to the pres
sure of circumstances ere it is too late,
and do with good grace what possibly
may yet avert Cuban independence, as
procrastination and misguided postpone
ment of tardy concessions mav lead to a
conflict with America. On the other
band, directly the jingo papers perceive
the drift of public opinion they again
start an anti- American campaign. .
To the Editor :
I would not think it worth while to
notice Dr. Grant's reference to me in
Wednesday's Uhbonicle, out for one
thing. After the doctor had given some
particulars concerning the origin of one
of the monstrous A. P. A. frauds I had
exposed in The Chronicle the day be
fore, he added : "It is of each material
Mr. Gourlav makes out his case. He
doesn't attack our fortress." It is some'
thing, then, that I have "made out my
case, but in heaven s name what is
this "fortress?" It must be my mis
fortune. I presume, but I never listened
to an A. P. A. lecture which did not
contain one or more of the falsehoods I
attacked in my letter, and some of these
lectures contained other matter so abso
lutely false and vile that their import
cannot even be hinted at here.
For years I have read everything in
the line of A. P. A. literature that has
fallen into my hands, including forged
Jesuit Oaths," fraudulent "Encycli
cals" and "Instructions to Catholics,"
garbled, aud false quotations, cruel and
uncharitable insinuations, wbicb showed
abundantly that though their authors
were dead set upon lying, they had not
the horse sense to lie with decency and
decorum ; but I have never, it would
appear, been able to find out the citadel
and fortress of the A. P. A. faith. If
Dr. Grant, who disavows all connection
with the A. P. A., means by "fortress"
the Catholic religion, I have nothing to
say. 1 am not a Catholic, and would
not attempt to defend that religion for a
on November 1, 1841, a little before the
ew York legislature abolished the sec
tarian school system against which the
bishop bad fought, published a card in
the city of New York in which he said :
"Bishop Hughes does not permit him
self or any of the clergy to meddle in the
business of politics. He does not ask
for sectarian schools, nor did he erer.
He does not aek that any of the public
money should be given to his denomin
ation, nor did he ever. Any Eastern of
education which does not interfere with
the rights of any denomination will
satisfy him. The present system is not
of this description ; it insists on giving
what is termed 'the legal quantity of
religious instruction.' It has many op
ponents in this city on constitutional
grounds." .
Nor would it have injured the cause of
truth, however much it might have been
out of harmony with the spirit and in
tent of your lecture, if you had added,
that when the fate of the nation hung
trembling in tbe balance, and the im
mortal Lincoln had all the United States
to choose from, it was this same John
Hughes he selected as ambassador, to lay
before the nations of the old world the
true issues involved in tbe contest, in
order to prevent the baneful, effects of a
recognition of the Southern confederacy.
But enough. I cannot close this letter
without asking space for the insertion of
an extract from an address delievered in
Washington, D. C. last Sunday, by
Archbishop Ireland. Every sentence of
it is a protest against the assumptions of
Dr. Grant and bis A. P. A. admirers,
that Catholicism is at war with loyalty
to tbe state, and that Catholics owe
allegiance in political matters, to the
head of the Eoman church. Who knows
but this assumption may be the
"fortress" that Dr. Grant claims I have
have neyer attacked? Archbishop Ire
laud said :
The most positive precepts of tbe
Catholic church go to the building of
America. She prescribes loyalty to the
state, purity of personal life, charity to
fellow-men. The church recognizes, as
her own species, faith and morals; she
possesses and claims no mission in civil
and political matters. If tbe church en
croaches upon the sphere of tbe state
we should bid her be away. If the state
enters into the sanctuary of conscience
tne proper empire ol the cburcb, the ap
peal is to God, and the state is ordered
to hold off its hands. With the separa
tion ot church and state, as it is
America, the church and the state re
vol ve freely in their separate and dis
tinct spheres; Catholics fall behind none
of tne fellow-citizens in admiring it and
demanding its continuance. The Cath
olic church wishes no aid from the state
in the preaching of the gospel. But lib
erty from the state she wishes and
clamors for as a sacred and inalienable
right ; liberty in its fullest sense under
the common law of the land. I am a
Catholic, I am a -priest and a bishop
but 1 am an American citizen, and
must be debarred from no rights aud
privileges accorded to other citizens be
cause I am a Catholic. My words betray
no fear for the future. Americans are a
people of sincere religious convictions
and of profound common sense, and they
will know bow to keep church and state
separate, and yet give liberty its fullest
sway ana guara religion ana morals..
Sentiments like these and they are

'It is of such . material that Mr.
Gourlay makes oat. his case," says Dr.
Grant. Ah I Brother Grant, it is of just
such material" that I am compelled to
make out my case. I could not notice
everything in a short newspaper article ;
else I might have pointed out that even
your address in this city lacked tbe
candor becoming your ' profession and
ability. When you quoted from'Dr,
Doellinger yon might have informed
your audience that Dr. Doellinger was
outside the communion of the church of
Rome when he . wrote the works from
which you quoted. When you quoted
from the "Shepherd of the Valley," you
might have added that Dr. Bakeman,
the editor of that periodical, who is still
living, has put it on record, over his own
signature, that the extracts in question
never appeared in the "Shepherd of the
Valley" nor in any paper over which be
ever had editorial control. When you
quoted '.- Bishop Hughes' fulminations
against the free schools of New York you
might have explained that bis attacks
were ' against what were strictly sec
tarian, Protestant schools, supported
from the public treasury, and that so
successful was his attack that tbe present
non-Bectarian Bchools were established a
short time after. You might have ex
plained that the same Bishop Hughes,
Hugh Goublay.

SAILED FOB CUBA.
to
Another Filibustering; Expedition
Land Tonight.
Key West, Fla., April 22. Tbe
schooner Competitor,' commanded by
Alfred Laborde, left this port about
midnight last night, with arms and men
for Cuba. The schooner carries sixty
Cubans and Americans. It is said to
have aboard 800 rifles, 600 revolvers,
500 machetes and 150,000 rounds of am
munition. .
The Competitor proceeded to Sugar
Loaf Key, 25 miles north of here, where
more munitions and arms were taken on
board. It is said tbe Cubans waiting on
Sugar Loaf Key have three rapid-fire
guns.
Alter getting the arms and men at
Sugar Loaf Key, the Competitor was to
be met by the steam tug George W.
Childs, which had been engaged to tow
the schooner to Cuba. Laborde told his
friends that the expedition would land
in Pinar del Bio province, tonight.
The schooner slipped out under the
nose of tbe revenue-cutter , Merrill.
When it was learned that it carried arms
and men, the customs officers ordered
tbe Merrill to pursue her, but the
schooner bad too- good a start to be
overtaken. Alfred Laborde, who com
manded the expedition, is a wealthy
Cuban of Tampa.
Cuban leaders here say that as soon
as Maceo receives the ammunition car
ried by the Competitor, an attack will
be made on the troops.

Washington, April 23. Congressman
Momey, a Democrat from Mississippi,
and- senator-eleo,t from that state, and
Congresman Hall, a Democrat lrom
Missouri, had a personal encounter in
the committee-room on naval affairs to
day. Tom Coakley, a messenger, standing
at the door, heard Hall say : "111 allow
no man to call me a liar." With these
words he planted bis fist in Money's
face.
Before Money, who is no match, phy
sically, for Hall, could recover himself,
Hall grabbed a brass inkwell and hurled
it at Money. It struck him behind the
ear, cutting" an ugly gash, and Money
fell back against the wall. ,
At this juncture Coakley crowded be'
tween them and prevented a further on
siaugnc. ii a u was, witb difficulty re
strained.
Money, faint from the loss of blood
which was streaming down his neck
was hurriedly taken to the committee
room on the floor below, while Hall
walked calmly along the corridor to the
hall of the house.
A crowd congregated and there was
moch excitement. Hall, when seen im
mediately after the fight, said he did
not desire to make a statement.
was a personal matter," said be, "and
do not desire to say anything. I do not
suppose Money either will care to make
a statement."
Money had two cuts, one just back of
the ear, about an inch long, the other
further down his neck.
Money said he did not desire to make
a statement.
An eyewitness of the occurrence gave
the following version of the difficulty
"Money was in the room looking over
his mail when Hall entered and began a
discussion of the bill before the commit'
tee, relating to the rank of naval Bur
geons. Money made the statement that
the surgeons were after both rank and
command. 'No,' he added, smilingly
I take that back, not command, but
rank.' 'Any man who says that,' said
Hall, angrily, 'says what is not true'
'You are a damned liar, 'retorted Money,
rising from his chair. Hall grabbed an
inkwell and hurled it at him. The blow
behind the ear staggered him. Hall did
not hit him with his fist. Money,
though staggered, also clutched an ink'
well and let it drive at Hall's head. The
Missourian dodged, and the missile
struck the wall opposite. Had it struck
Hall I believe it would . have brained
him. The two men then made for each
other. Both made a motion as if to
draw weapons. Wilson, of New York, a
member of the naval committee, who
was present, with the messenger and
clerk, rushed between the men and pre
vented further trouble."
There were in tbe com mittee-room,
besides the two combatants, Commodore
Fithian and Representatives Meyer and
Wilson, members of the committee.
announcing that Cuba will get home
rule, are received with scorn by the Cu
ban colony here. Colonel Fernando
Figarero, the Cuban delegate to Florida,
said :
"Should Spain ever proffer us home
rnle it will be spurned. As long as Cu
bans live they will fight for liberty. Ab
solute Independence is what we want;
nothing else.
"Campos promised us borne rule in
1876, but it was never granted. We are
not to be bluffed again.
"What they now offer is the law pro
posed by Alburzuza, the minister of col
onies, In March, 1895, and accepted by
the cortes, but never put into effect.
"This measure was suggested by the
Btartling capture of the Lsgonda, Ama
dis and Barawa, at Fernandino, loaded
with munitions of war from Cuba.
Spain has been loatb to concede that
much to us, but now think it the only
redeeming measure.
"If they have our forces in Cuba so
scattered, bewildered and surrounded,
why are they so eager to grant any such
concessions?"
Sectarian School Matter Battled.
Washington, April 22. The senate
today disposed of the sectarian school
question by adopting tbe compromise
framed by senator Cockrell, of Missouri.
The Indian bill, as it came from tbe
house, provided tbat "no money herein
appropriated shall be paid for education
in sectarian schools." Tbis provision is
struck out by, the Cockrell amendment
as adopted, for it is declared to be tbe
settled policy of the government to make
no appropriations for sectarian schools
after July lst.1898, thus giving two years
for tbe abandonment of sectarian schools
instead of immediate abandonment.
The amendment was adopted by a de
cisive vote of 38 to 24.
Bnluwayo Isolated.
Capk Town, April 23. (Copyrighted,
1896, by Associated Press.) Telegraphic
communication with Buluwayo has been
cut off at Fij; tree, a small place near
Mangwe, southwest of Buluwayo.
This break cuts off all means of com
munication by wire witb Buluwayo, and
in view of the serious condition of affairs
there, the town being surrounded by 15,
000 hostile Matabeles, considerable anx
iety is felt. A repairing and scouting
squad has been sent out from Mangwe.
Tr.viug to Best Moore.
The candidacy of Walter H. Moore fo
joint eenator.ia said to be bothering the
unterrifltd Democracy of Sherman
county with a very great bother. Lead
ing Democrats over there have been
working a scheme for fusion with the
Populists for all there is in it. Two
special missionaries, fresh from a meet
ing held at Grants, visited the. city yes
terday. It Is understood they wanted
Moore's Democratic opponent to resign
in favor of a Populist from Sherman
county. It is also understood the gen
tleman refused to resign, and some other
scheme will have to be resorted to.
The outlook for Mr. Moore's defeat Is
not very encouraging. According to the
last election returns his opponent would
need to have every Democratic and
every Populist vote in tbe county and
twenty-five more from somewhere else.
This does not reckon the certainty that
Mr. Moore will get a great big majority
in Wasco county.

"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
