The M.iH(iiiic committee wired the fol lowing to Leantler Burdick, grand master at Toledo: "From what we ran gather there are about four hundred houses destroyed and three hundred persons injured, of whom twenty per cent, will proba bly die from their hurts.

A pood many of the estimates of the d image to property have been too inyh. llie actual logf trom a fiananciul Htandpoint will not 1 so creat as was supposed at first. The tobacco warehouses were not hurt to the extent ftated, nearly nil of those demolished were old build inprs and roniparitively sinal!. Some will buihl anew and others win put tlie oM ones in repair airam. STRKWN WITH WRECKAGE. The river in strewn with floating debris from the storm and from Tenth street to the waterworks hundreds of skin's are plyiiifr, col lecting the valuable wood-work of buildings, which is all that is lea of splendid structures. To-night it is believed the esti mate of dead and wounded at Falls O'ty hall has been over marked ami that the total number in the building when it ccllapsed was not half as great as the first guess placed it. .Mary Holscher, who was in attendance at a meet ing of the Knights and Ladies of Honor on the top floor Fays that instead of 200 up there thtre were about 75 people in the room. The number in the dancing school floor relow was also smaller than at first reported. She says the first intimation they had of what was coming was a blinding flash of lightning and a violent gust of wind which phook the building. The jieople became frightened and were pr -paring to leave the birlding, but before they could get their wraps, the windows were blown in, the gas went out, and a moment later the floor caved under them. Mrs. Holscher he came unconscious and knew no more until the rescuers came and took her out from the debris. AID FOR THE SUFFERERS. Loi isville, March 2!) The ex ecutive commit.ee of the relief tund received a large number of additional subscriptions and all the cases of destitution where imme diate action was necessary have been cared for. To-morrow a thorough system will be put in operation by which everybody who needs aid will be given relief. The amount of funds now in the hands of the treasurer is about $32,000 and this is being added to to-night. Offers of aid have been received from a number of outside cities, but the boarJ of trade committee declined the offers of assistance for the present. Mayor Jacobs said, however, while he was opposed to calling for out side help, if voluntary contribu tions were offered he would advise their acceptance. SAN FRANCISCO OFFERS $100,000. The following dispatch was re ceived from G. W. Ferguson, pro prietor of the Spectator of San Francisco: "Can send you $100, 000 if u need." Mayor Jacobs has not replied to this telegram as he did not clearly understand it. ONE HVNDKED DEAD AT LOCISVII.LE. Louisville, March 29. Up to midnight 94 bodies have leen re covered and it is supposed five or six more may be found in out of the way places. Of those injured to any extent the closest estimate to-night is 125. Of this number at least 23 are in a very critical con dition. To tho relief committee the Knights and Ladies Honor society report that there were at the time of the disaster 100 people in their hall. They have made a careful canvass, showing 23 deaiandSl wounded. Five are known to have escaped unhutt and the rest are still unaccounted for. Some of these latter may be dead, but it will not be definitely known be fore to-morrow, or perhaps Monday.

A SEA0F "WATER. THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER OVER FLOWING THE COt NTRY. . Houses Inundated Great Damage to Plantations Teople Fleeing for Their Lives. (reenvillk. Miss., March 29. The storm .Thursday drew the waters oi tho swollen Mississippi over tin levee here ami caused great crevasses where the embank ment was previously thought to be secure. The break? were at the eastern levees a half mile above Monnd landing and a mile and a half be low Huntington on Timber 1-ake plantation. The outflow from these places w ill inundate a large section of country before it reaches the Yazoo river, again to join the great river, leaving desolation and ruin in these parts, submerging the garden etiot ot tazoo telta. and entirely suspending railroad travel from Ix-lamt to Kollinglarin. The water from the Hnntington break joined the outpour from the Offutt break, which overflows a large section of country. These waters will swell its volume, bearing to the West against Greenville and a portion of country spreading out toward William's bayou on the east and no doubt will blend with the waters from the eastern break, making a per fect sea of water from here to the Bayou Philia and perhaps over flowing the east banks of this stream. The junction of the waters from these three Ftreams w ill overflow nearly all the planta tions in Washington county, in its entire length and breadth until Starkey and Isaquena counties are reached, then connecting with the outpour from the Skipwith break, ovet flowing everything in its track until the Yazoo is reached. The damage this will do to plan tations, etock, fences, houses, stores, towns and railroads is be yond calculation. Crops will all le late and in many cases it may not be possible to plant more. The latest news from the eastern break is that it is now 600 feet wide and increasing fast, The water has crossed to the west bank of Williams bayou at Avon dale and is six feet deep in the stores at that place. A late dispatch to-night says the protection of the levee in the rear of Greenville cannot last through the night. HUNDREDS HOMELESS. Immense Damage to Property In Tennessee and Kentucky. Gallatin, Tenn., March 29. News of the terrible storm is slow in coming in, an it will bo to-morrow before a full list of the dead and hurt can be had. Every house ard building be tween Blessoe and Eulia, in the path of the storm, was blown away, and hundreds of people were injured, and are now without food and shelter. It is reported that the whole town of Dixon Springs, in Smith county, thirty-five miles distant, was swept out of existence. The wires are interrupted, and full par ticulars are yet unobtainable. These hurt by the storm near Gallatin will probably recover. The Chesapeake & Nashville road suffered greatly in two places. About 600 feet of high trestle work was destroyed and two 300 ton iron bridges were blown from their pillars and wrecked. The loss to stock and other property in this district is estimated at $2, 000,000. A dispatch from Marion, Ken lucky, says that a large portion of that town was destroyed and 4 lives lost. A family consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Montague and four daughters and the mother of-Mrs. Montague, living in the country 8 miles from Marion, were crushed to death by the falling of their dwelling. A family boat moored about 5 miles abovo the mouth of Green ltiver was dashed to pieces against a tree and a man named Krazier, his wife and sister drowned. The wounded in Marion county will teach 53 and at least a dozen of these will die. it i VWteMmti68 Tllajdoy night. r y.'y I At Storgis hail an Inch in diameter V '-t IfAll: mnA tha winrl nnrrvfAl Asvpral -. r i unioniuwn. jvt. mna ldiod. amu ? in Wobfr s- .; . - -. i, ijouu oi tne . puyaiciana , were fatally injured, leaving Lb town in a bad way as tar as nedieal aswt- ance is concerned.

THE GERMAN CRISIS BISMARCK'S FAREWELL TO .. THE CITY OF BERLIN. Before Leaving He Makes a Caie ful Statement to American Min ister Fhelps. Berlin, March 29. I'rince Bis marck left Berlin for Friedercchs ltuhe, his country seat, to-day. Yesterday he visited the imperial mausoleum and placed a wreath upon the coffin of William I. Thousands of persons gathered in the Wilhelms.'rasse and along tho route to the railway station and greeted him with stormy en thusiasm. The windows of" the houses in the vicinity were crowded with spectators. The entire route was lined with waving handker chiefs. A number of carriages tilled with his friends and admir eis closed the procession. When the party ai rived at the station all tho ministers of the diplomatic corps and court and state officials were waiting to bid tarewell to the prince. Mountains of bouquets for the prince and piincess were piled in the waiting rooms. Bismarck in. a hearty voice Sid all farewell, Phelps, the" American minister, and Von Caprivi being among the la-t to take his hand. Many tears were shed and it was altogether an affecting scene. At 3:40 tho train started amid re newed cheering and eiuging. In connection with the regard evinced by Bismarck for the Amer ican minister, l'helps, it is worthy of note that on Tuesday last he de nied himself to all others and re ceived Phelps at a private audience. The object of the discussion ex cited much curiosity here. " Bumor says that the prince made a care ful statement of recent events with a view to the future. The real history of the crisis is still wrapped in mystery. The appointment of Baron Bierherstein is regarded as final. A sitting of the labor conference was held to-day. Minister Von Berlepsch made a long address. He believed the delegates hd ar rived at a-decision on-which to form a basis of procedute and had developed the idea of protecting and securing the material and moral welf ire of the workingmrti, and had found a common stand point for the solution of several questions by individual govern ments according to the exceptiona circumstances. In conclusion the minister con veyed to the delegates the emper or's thunks for their labors. THE LAW INOPERATIVE. The Question of Landing Chinese at Portland, Oregon. Washington. March 2. The collector of customs at Portland, Or., recently inquired of the treas ury department if he would be justified, under act of September Id, 13S, in landing thiee Chinese holding certificates issued by the customs officers of British Colum bia declaring them to be Chinese merchants. Assistant Secretary Tichnor informed him that the law referred to was inoerative by reason of no ratification of the treaty on which it should go into effect. FREE SILVER COINAGE.
