MERIDIAN, M1ss., April 26. Another
disastrous tornado parsed through a
enarsely' settled area, of TCaetern Mis
ffispippf, south of this city, late today.
Meridian also was visited by a remark
ah( wind, rain and hall storm, much
damage being done to crops and shrub
bery. Timber properties are reported
almost devastated.
A report received nere tonight say
that the timber section of Southern Mis
sissippi and the adjacent Alabama terri
tory has again been visited by a heavy
storm and much damage done.
NKW ORL.KANS. April 2fi. The totals
of death, misery and ruin caused in
four Southern states by Friday s torna
does came to hand today In approxi
mately correct form.
Briefly stated, they are:
Killed, about JtiiO; Injured painfully
or seriously, 1200; homeless, several
thousand.
Towns reporting serious wreckage,
4fl : habitation ft nnd bus In ess-houses,
practically complete ruins In these
towns, about Con.
The above figures do not include the
wrecking on plantations and farms,
scores of which were struck and dam
aged. Many Buried Without Kerord.
The number of dead may never he
known accurately, because shout 300
of them were negroes snd they were
burled. In many communities, without
careful reuurds being made of their
numbers.
While some of the first reports giv
ing apparently reliable death-lists have
since proved unreliable, nevertheless,
remote places lute In reporting their
dead have served to hold the total
death-list around 3..
The manner in which this death-list
Iihs grown for two days, despite con
tinued subtractions from early reports,
has been a melancholy Index of the
Interstate scope of the disaster.
Following the wreckage of towns,
the genera I direction of I lie tornadoes
tan be traced closely. Apparently the
storm struck In three square currents,
irtch describing the arc of a circle and
traveling on toward the northeast. The
tirst of these struck through Northern
1,iulspna. Mississippi and Tennessee
before daylight Friday morning. The
second appeared f art her south a bout 7
o'clock in Ivoulslann nnd Mississippi.
This apparently was the portion of the
storm which had swept through Ala
bama and tJeorftla on Friday night and
Fa turday morning. The third portion
of the storm appeared during Friday
iifternoon further south than either of
its predecessors. This was the storm
which demolished Amite. Ia.. and
Purvis, Miss., the towns in which the
wreckage whs worst.
Towns lAok Like Lumber Piles.
Why the fatalities were so large is
a Ppa rent tod a y from a glance at the
photographs wb Ich have arrived here
from ninny portions of the tornado
belt. They nil tell the same horrid
f-tnry. Whole blocks of what were
formerly little residences and cabins
Me spread over the ground in separate
boards. f
If a hiiRe lumber pile had been scattered
over these areas, the number of boards
unattached to anything else could scarce
ly have been greater. Tnder this mass of
wreckage, many hundreds of persons
were burled, not one in a hundred escap
ing without some injury. The houses
w Mch were thus scattered about were
mostly negro habitations.
The homes of the whites held together
better and the photographs show many of
them with half the top of the upper part
-f the structure wljvd off, but leaving
them "below as protection to the occupants,
thus saving scores from death.
nlf Blown Through Dining-II all.
Along with the accounts of suffering
have come recitals of many remarkable
experiences, of which this is typical:
At Amite-, Ia., when the tornado ap
peared there were seven persona at the
dinner table at Hamilton g arner's home,
Indudini three children. One of the
diner.", Claude Dennett, saw the whirling
rtmid hi time to shout a warning and
rushed out doors, but the others re
mained In the room. The wind In a
second tore off two doors on opposite
nides of the room and an astonishing
procession of live and inanimate objects
hgan to rsss into the room through
these doorways. First came a calf, run
ning before the wind. The terrified ani
male Jumped over the dining table and
went out of the opposite door. After
ward there came a horse. The three
children sought refuge under the table
and no one was injured.
Today has been one of relief measures
throughout the wrecked district. The
ruined towns have been visited by thou
sands of spectators, many of whom went
with a few dollars In their porket to dis
tribute among the needy. Huts built
lrom the wreckage have become the
homes of hundreds. Investigators are
going through the country districts taking
notes of help necessary.
At least a doren relief funds have been
started in as many cities and towns.
In North Alabama, 29 Bond.
fUK.MlXGHAM, Ala., April 2 latest

Alabama show a total death list of 29.
while the number of seriously injured

far remote from railroads and telegraph,
from which reliable reports have not et
been received.

cently destroyed.
SOUTHAMPTON, April 26. Interesting
details concerning the collision between
the St. Paul and the cruiser Gladiator In
the Solent yesterday and of the rescue of
the men of the British cruiser, were told
today by various of the passengers on the
liner. J. T. Hillis, of London, speaking
of the delay in lowering boats from the
Bt. Paul, said: ,
"In response to our offer of assistance,
the officer of the Gladiator- replied that
It was not needed. About 20 minutes, It
seemed to ran, elapsed beiore the St.
Paul s boats were put into the water. AU
that time the Gliadiator was turning tur
tle. The bluejackets on her cried: Tor
God's sake, lower your boats!' As the
vessel heeled over, we could see the blue
Jackets clinging to the uppermost side,
and those who failed to get a sure hold
clipped into the water.
"The discipMne on the Gladiator was
magnificent. We could see every man at
his post. " There was no excitement what
ever on either ship. One would have
thought that it was a moving picture.
Instead of a real disaster. It was lucky
that the collision happened so close to
land. That very fact gave the seamen
and passengers more chance for life."
St. Paul In Great Danger.
The passengers upon the St. Paul, who
acted so coolly during the trying few
minutes following the collision, could
hardly have realized the extreme danger
In which they stood. They were assured
by the officers, who hurried among them
directly the boats came together, that
there wn no danger, but the condition
of the steamship's bows disclosed at the
dock shows that she narrowly escaped
the fate of tbe Gladiator. As it was, tbe
St. Paul was more seriously damaged
than at first supposed. She shipped a
great amount of water as she backed
away from the cruiser, and all her pumps
were kept going to their full capacity.
The damaged bows of the St. Paul in
dicate that she forced her nose at least 20
feet through the cruiser's side, but for
tunately the greatest damage she re
ceived was above the water Hue. The
bowpost was buckled, while the plates on
both the port and starboard bows were
crushed in. and gaping cracks extended
along the side. Along the water line the
paint has bren scratched away, but
downward there is no apparent damage,
although holts must have been started,
which would account for the water pour
ing into her hold.
Accident Was Unavoidable.
Captain Passow and the first, third and
fourth officers were upon the bridge-with
Pilot George Bowyer, the American
Company's reRular pilot, at tbe time of
the accident, and the closest lookout was
being kept, two men being stationed In
tbe bow and two in the crow's nest.
Neither Captain Passow or any of his
officers would discuss the accident, pre
ferring to wait until they submit their
reporis to the proper officials. It is
learned, however, that Captain Passow
Is sorely grieved at the disaster, this
being his first serious mishap. A friend
who has been much with the captain of
the St. Paul since his return here. In
speaking of the collision and doubtless
giving the skipper's version of it, said
that it could not he avoided. The snow
was falling so constantly that It was im
possible to see a yard ahead. It was
far worse than the thickest fog. The
weather had been clear before the St.
Paul left her dock, hut snow began to
fall as soon as the Solent was reached.
Tt was then impossible to stop, as a very
strong tide was running, which might
have carried the steamship on the rocks.
The only alternative was to go ahead
and keep the closest lookout, and this,
be explained, was done.
Had the cruiser been painted any other
color than white she might have been
seen earlier and the collision avoided, but
Great Britain has decided that warships
attract less attention when thus painted.
From an officer of the St. Paul, who
did not wish to be quoted, it was learned
that a slight delay in getting out tbe
boats, of which there has been complaint,
was due to snow falling constantly. The
boats had to be cleared away hefore they
could be manned, every member of the
crew. Including the cooks, lending a
hand. The btats, when lowered, were
manned partly by steward, a It was
necessary to keep many of the able sea
men aboard to assist In repairing the
damaged bows.

1 tial Court or Inquiry to Be Held
tin Gladiator Disaster.
LONDON. Aoril 26. The total number
of dead and missing of the Gladiator's
crew, as a result of the collision between
the American Line steamship 3t. Paul
and the British cruiser off the isle of
Wight. Is 2fc. The Admiralty late tonight
Issued a revised list of the names of the
Gladiator victims which includes an ad
ditional death In the hospital, bringing
the total of deaths known up to fiv,e.
Twenty-three men are missing, accord
ing to the list, and six are suffering
severe Injuries. The secretary of the
Admiralty expresses fear that there are
still eight others missing but Is unable
to give the names as yet. Divers today
searched part cf the sunken cruiser for
bodies, but were not successful in finding
any.
The opinion among shipping men and
naval officers and officials appears to be
unanimous that the accident was un
avoidable, being one of the chances of the
sea which all seamen must risk. There
will be the usual naval court and an in
quiry by the Board of Trade. The officers
of both ships refuse to discuss the affair
until they have given their testimony
officially. AH witnesses of the disaster
aeree practically that both crews behaved
a s wel 1 a s possl bl e.
Coming so soon after the loss of the
torpedo-boat destroyer Tiger, which was
sunk by the cruiser Berwick off the Isle
of Wight, on April 3, last, 36 men being
drowned, the sinking of the Gladiator is
a severe blow to the British navy
Rough weather prevails In the Channel
today and many of the Channel steamers
were unable to make their usual trips to
the continent.
HEROIC RESCUE WQRK DONE
Royal Engineers Render Aid Story
of Disaster by Sailor.
YARMOUTH. April 26. Heroic service
in rescuing the Gladiator men was ren
dered by the Royal Engineers at Fort
Victoria. Several of them put out in two
small gigs Immediately after the collision
and picked up as many of the sailors as
they could find in the water, although
several men sank within their sight.
Corporal Stenning and others of the
engineers, swam boldly into the raging
sea and rescued some of the most ex
hausted of the sailors. The survivors
were cared for overnight at the residences
of officers of th Engineers' Corps. To
day they and the rescued seamen 'have
recovered from their thrilling experience.
A seaman who was employed In the
Gladiator's canteen said, in speaking of
the accident:
"Tt happened at a quarter of 3 o'clock,
during what we call grog-tlme.' A lot
of us were in the canteen, when we heard
a horrible grinding noise and the vessel
heeled over so that we were thrown off
our feet. We made for the upper deck
as fast as we could go, but there was no
disorder. When we reached the deck we
saw that a steamship was into us amid
ships, and when she drew out she left
an awful hole, nearly 4n feet deep. The
snow was so thick that It was impossible
to see anything on the water.
"Two of our boats were forced free by
the collision and two others were so dam
aged as to be useless. It seemed a long
time before boats were lowered from the
St. Paul, and In the (meantime some of
our men had jumped into the water to
swim . ashore. They must ' have been
nearly frozen. Besides, there was a
strong sea running. This proved too much
for some of them and they clung to float
ing things until rescued."
Passengers Sail on TeiAon.c.
CHERBOURO, April 26. The passen

BLOODY FIGHT IN CABIN
Drunken Indians in How. One
Dead, Another a Fugitive.
TACO.MA, Wash.. April 26. (Special. )
A genera! fight among men. "women and
children, ending in the slaying of George
Nason and the turning of Jim Mowltch
Into a fugitive from Justice, occurred Sat
urday night, when the families of the
two men. both of whom are Indians, en
gaged In a quarrel at their homes on
Willochet Bay. Apparently there was no
particular starting point to the troubla
and the tragedy is attributed by the au
thorities to the intoxicated condition of
the principals.
Although the hilling took place Satur
day night. Sheriff Tom Morris was not
notified until today, when he took Imme
diate steps for the capture of the mur
derer. The cabin presented a sickening ap
pearance. Walls, ceiling and floor were
drenched with blood of the young boys,
women and men. Broken bits of crock
ery, blackened with congealed blood, lit
tered the floor, while the overturned
stove and broken furniture added to the
disorder.
Br-ing without funds and probably" half
dead from loss of blood, it is believed
the capture of Mowiteh will' be but a
question of hours.
EIGHTY MILES TOO MUCH
Rather Than Hide It Daily, Surveyor
Marries the Girl.
NEW WKSTMINSTKH. B. C April
2. (Special.) A romance of long-distance
courtship culminated this week
In the mariage of Miss Hattle Hirst, of
Nanaiino. and W. Marpole Stokes,
nephew of R. Marpole, greneral super
intendent of the western .livision of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Young stokes had for several mJnths
past been engaged In survey work
along the proposed ft. W. line, and
it was while In tile vicinity of Parkea
vllle that he met his affinity. Friend
ship ripened into love, but with the
growth of the affection the interested
parties gradually drew farther and
larther apart, the westward movement
of the surveyors' camp heliiR responsi
ble for this state if affairs, t'ndnunted
by distance. Stokes has kept his
promise to visit his sweetheart nightly,
tiding 30, 4.1. fio and during the last
two weeks, SO miles every evening.
Wtivn finally the camp was moved
another 20 miles, Stokes decided that
the distance was too great, but rather
than forego the daily bliss he severed
his connection with the survey party
and procured a weddinif license.

ities in this city tonight professed to
know little about the loss reported in a
dispatch from London of two mail bags
containing valuables worth about 500.000

believe that the absence of the bags was
due to an error. He said he thought they

ANSWERS THE SOCIALISTS
Taft Replies That They Misquoted
His Remarks on Labor.
WASHINGTON. April 26. Secretary
of War Taft tonight said:
"My attention has been called to the
ar-tlon of the New York section of the
Socialist party in respect to certain al
leged utterances of mine in a recent
speech before the Order of Railroad
Conductors in Chicago. In the report
I am made to say: 'There Is no denying-
the fact that we must look forward
to (?reat controversy between labor and
capital, hoplny and trusting that it will
be settled peaceably.' .
"This is not an accurate report of
what I said. Z have the stenographic
notes' taken of whst I did say. What I
said was this: That unless laborers
united Into organizations the laborer
would stand no chance In that inevit
able controversy that we always hope
will be peaceful, but that must exist
that inevitable controversy as to how
labor and capital shall share th Jldnt
product of both.
"From nothing I said could the infer-,
ence be drawn that I was prophesying
a gigantic controversy In the future. J
was only referring to an existing and
always present condition, an ever-recurring
controversy."
