Helena, Mont., July 5 For 10 min
utes last evening a terrific cyclonic Btorm
passed over Helena. The amount of
rain and bail that fell and the frequency
of the lightning were unprecedented in
this region. Nearly an inch of rain
fell in that short time. The hail
came down like bullets and the leaves
of trees all over town show clean round
holes. The people who were caught out
in the storm had to seek shelter until
its cessation. The wind that preceded
the rain and hail blew 50 miles an hour,
leveling trees and fences. Lightning
struck the Scandinavian church, enter
the steeple, when it divided into
several bolts, and Hew in all
directions. The steeple and part of the
church were wrecked and the parsonage
was badly damaged. Kev. Henry Lin
derman, the pastor, his wile and 3-year-old
child were shocked but not seiiously
hurt. The child has a diBtinct blue
streak down one arm. Several persons
in the neighborhood of the church were
prostrated by the shock. Church was
set on fire but the flamea were quickly
extinguished.

FOR TEN
The Liberals lonlluue to Gain and
Uladtloue I J utl ant.
London, July 5 Up to last night the
total results are: Elected, Conserva
tives, 49 Liberals, 3. Liberal
Unionists. The Liberals have
gained eleven seats, the Tories
two and their allies, the Liberal
Unionists have gained one seat. The
net gain lor the Liberal party and the
Irish home rule is therefore eight seats.
London, July 5 Further election re
turns today : JosBee, Liberal, elected for
Grimsby, replacing a Liberal Unionist.
London, July 5 The Star says if the
average of yesterday's gains is main
tained it will give the Liberals a ma
jority of 150 in the next Parliament,
while there is a practical certainty the
average will be greater. The defeat
yesterday of SirT. Sutherland, Unionist,
at Greenock, by John Bruce, Liberal, ie
a death blow to 'the Unionist cause in
Scotland, and indicates that the number
of English Unionists will be reduced. The
Radical triumph at Westham is a pre
lude to the roll of London victories for
the Radicals. Gladstone Is jubilant
over yesterday's results, especially the
return of John Bruce, Liberal, in
Greenock.

yesterday he was struck on the head by

Glasgow, July 5 Gladstone delivered
the election address at the meeting in
Stow, Edinburghshire, yesterday, lie
declared thai when in 180 he
anticipated a victory in the then
coming election his anticipation
was more than realized. He
believed the same thing was bound to
happen now. Parliament will never be
able to attend to the business of t e
country until the Irish question is
settled. The Liberals would have to
repair all the present government's
work. Gladstone also attended a
meeting in the town of Corebridge, and
again de ivered one of his forcible and
characteristic addroBses. He empha
sized the necessity for thorough relorm
of the land laws and said that the
demand lor a universal working day of
eight hours was prematura, but the
demand of the miners for an eight-hour
day was more hopeful, because if the
men were practically unanimous on the
question no employers' objections
should prevent them from attain
ing the end which they sought
Where the district was unanimous in
favor of the establishment of a working

option should prevail, although he was

Louihvili.r, Ky., July 2 An angry
mob was about to place a rope around
the neck of Conrad Schultze at West
Baden Springs yesterday when evidence
was found establishing tho innocence of
the accused. The case is remarkable in
some respects and a strong argument
in itsolf against conviction on circum
stantial evidence. Schultze is a gar
dener and came to this country about
two years ago from Geimany. Lust
Friday morning Mrs. Schultze under
took to scold her husband, when be told
her if she did not stop it bo would call
a meeting ol whitccaps and have her
taken out and whipped. Tho woman
was nearly frightened out of her wits at
the prospect of falling into their
clutches. Waiting until her husband
went to work the badly scared wife
Hod from the house without tak
ing a bonnet or wrap of any
kind. Schultze did not notice her ab
sence until late in the day, and then the
most vigilant search failed to disclose
eveu a trace ol her whereabouts, ily
this time it began to be whispered about
that perhaps Schulze hail uiurderoJ her.
1 tie idea took root at once, and
in a short time there were
lew who did nut believe that
such was the case. The excitement cul
minated yesterday in a mob beinir or
ganized and the rope being booh red.
Everything was in readiness lor lynch
ing when a man from Orleans arrived in
town and stated that the woman had
been seen at Orleans. Investigation
followed and it was found tho woman
had really been at Orleans but had left
saying she was going to Louisville in
search of employment.

mortality is increasing at Baku and sub

attend patients in the cholera hospitals,
the others being compelled to do so.
The hospitals are totally inadequate to

are being sprinkled with petroleum as a

located in the most populous district of

drawn from the Batoum route on ac
count of the epidemic. Temporary
hospitals are being erected along the

and Tiflis. The Russian frontier is

SCANDINAVIAN NEWS.
Information From
the Xortutoiij
tbe Lao I ol
The storthing passed the bill for sepa
rate foreign consulates and voted 50,000
crowns for preliminary expenses, it is
expected that this will lead also to sep
arate foreign ministers at Beveral
European courts, which will be a
future heavy burden on a small country
like Norway with only 2,000,003 inhab
itants. It is looked upon as the first
wedge for effecting the separation of the
two united kingdoms so eagerly advo
cated by the professional political agi
tators of Norway, but which all sober
minded Scandinavians on each side of
the Alps, and all over the world, not
the leaat in America, seriously deplore.
If ever two countries are by nature
united it is the Swedish and Norwegian
peninsula, with their mountain ridge as
their very backbone. In such unity
there should be strength. But now it
is like "a house divided against itself,"
and woe betide such family disruptions.
Thirty Norwegian workmen were in
1888 engaged by a Russian named Yolo-
din to proceed to Nikolajev. olouin,
becoming insolvent, was unable to carry
out this contract. These workpeople
consequently suffered great losses there
by. Through diplomatic channels it
reached the ears of the czar who has
now sent 27,000 crowns to be distributed
amongst them, making about 700 crowna
a piece. Seemingly this is a moat
generoua action, or is the czar desirous
of gaining the good will of the Nor
wegians, who, by the strife for disunion
with Sweden, are advertising their
country as soon being in the market for
annexation to a more powerful neigh
bor. Two Swedish scientists, Bjorling and
Kallstenius, arrived June 13 at St. John,
Newfoundland, with the intention oi
hiring a schooner and sail to the Ameri
can Arctic legion, intending to return
in September. Their journey of explor
ation ia undertaken in behalf oi the
Swedish Geographical Society of Stock
holm. Ilenrik Ibaen has purchased a large
and very handsome house on one of the
principal streets of Christiania. His
gallery of paintinga is said to be the fin
est in Christian! i. During the many
years he spent in the various capitals
and various art centres of Europe be
had ample opportunity to secure work
of the best masters. He is a man of
considerable wealth, possessing a for
tune of 200,000 crowns and an annual
ineomo more than sufficient for hia
wants. He is to be seen daily in the
cale of the Grand hotel reading the
papers, just as years ago he was one of
the daily attractions of the Cafe Maxi
milian in Munich. The people greet
him affectionately aa they pass him.
His dramas have been produced with
great success at the Christiania theatre
since his return, and that fact probably
reconciles him to the plan of passing his
laat days at home. The new drama he
at present is at work upon will probably
be finished in a very few weeka.
The North Atlantic Steamship Com
pany, of Boston, Mass., haa bought tho
steamer Britannia, of Bergen, Norway,
for the aum of 300,000 crowna, intending
her to ply between Boaton and Halifax,
She was to leave Norway about the
middle of June. English speculators
made a lighter bid, but the American
agent, Mr. Pile, of London, preceded
them by a few hours.
All officers in the Swedish army agree
that the independence of the Scandina
vian peninsula is threatened by no other
power than Russia. Russia is now more
than ever bofore looking for a good
harbor on the Norwegian coast. The
movement going on all over Sweden and
Norw ay for the purpose of raising money
for the matter of defenses ia on that
account easily explained.

Tliey Wr ingle Over Those Questions

N-a ly Kvery OthT Question Tlipy
I'r ,e Suppression of LltUur Helling.
Cincinnati, June 30 Friends of cold
water got plenty of it today. There
was a terrific downpour of rain and the
delegates to the National Prohibition
convention strangled bedraggled into
the hall this morning. The platform
committee was still in session when the
convention was called to order. The
sub-committee made its report to the
lull committee at 3 a. in., anil a fight at
once ensued over the tariff' and silver
planks which had also torn up the sub
committee. The free coinage men were
defeated in sub-comtnitte and the plank
submitted to the full committe was an
tagonistic to absolute free coinage. The
tariff ptnnk reported by the sub-committee
was that of the Ohio Prohibition
party. It declares for a graduated in
come tax and a tariff' only where foreign
nations bar out our products, revenue to
be only incidental. Prohibition is made
as strong and clear cut as possible, and
a liberal labor plank is inserted, the re
pression of monopolies is demanded, one
term of a longer period for president is
favored, also arbitration of labor dis
putes and government control of trans
portation. The fusion question was ig
nored. The followers of General Bid well are
elated over the result of the caucus of
New Yorkers opposed to Demorest.
They decided not to present Baacom's
name but to vote for Bid well. It is
claimed that Bidwell will receive three
fourths oi Deniorest's own delegation.
A reference to the slave auction block in
a speech last night by Mrs. Gougar led
Delegate Gibbs, of Virginia, to offer a
resolution soon after opening this morn
ing that it is the sense of the conventi n
that unnecessary references to the late
unpleasantness should be avoided
by speakers. Adopted. There was a
call for Miss Williard and in
response to uigent demand she came
forward. Her first words were a denial
that she favored or ever had favored
fusion with the People's party or any
other. She explained her actions at the
People's party convention on the ground
that she was willing to accept all aid
possible from farmers and workingmen.
She closed by pledging herself aud the
W. C. T. U. to stand by the Prohibition
party. Dr. Abingdon, of Illinois, pre
sented a plea for funds to carry on the
campaign.
Subscriptions of $1,000 each were
made by the "Voice," the prohibition
organ, and W. T. Warmwell, of New
York. Pennsylvania gave $1,200. Vir
ginia and Illinois $1,000 each. Califor
nia and Wisconsin $500 eech. Other
subscriptions brought the total up to
$20,000. The convention then took a
recesa until 2 o'clock.
The p.atform has just succeeded in
temporarily getting by the silver bug
aboo. The struggle resulted in favor of
the radicals. It is settled the report of
the committee will be in favor of free
coinage. There will be a minority re
port, probably. A prolongued struegle
cn the tariff then began.
The platform was completed at 2
o'clock. There will be a minority report
on the financial aud tariff' planks. The
money of the country should be issued
by the general government only in suffi
cient quantities to meet the demands of
business and give full opportunity for
employment of labor. To this end the
increase in the volume of money is de
manded and no individual or corpora
tion should be allowed to make any

j New London, Conn., July 1 Yale
won the triangular two-mile straight
away race by two and a half lengths,
i Columbia second. Harvard third. Un
official time: Y'ale, 12:03' ; Columbia,
12:20; Harvard, 12:28.
T he race was rowed at flood tide and
with the current, starting at 11 :15. The
conditions of wind and tide were almost
perfect, though the rain came down
quite heavily.
While the crews were on the way to
the starting point the breezes Btarted
up making the water somewhat rough
bef re the start. Harvard won the toss,
and chose the middle course, Yale se
lected the west and Columbia was given
the east. Before the word waa given
for the start, rain began to pour down
and a strong northwest head wind began
to blow. At the pistol Bhot Columbia
caught the water first, though Yale's
powerful stroke gave that crew the lead
at once.
All rowed fast stroke, 30 to 41 to the
minute for the first quarter mile. At
the end ot that distance they were well
bunched, Yale leading but a few yards,
Columbia and Harvard very close to
gether. Yale then dropped the stroke
to 38 with Harvard and Columbia row
ing 40. Nevertheless Yale gained at
every stroke, and was two lengths ahead
at the end of the three-quarters of a
mile. At the end of the hiile,
Y ale quickened the stroke to 40 and Co
lumbia began to show jerky work. At
the beginning of the last half mile the
fast work began to tell on the oarsmen.
Columbia steered wildly, but in apite of
that maintained the lead o,er Harvard.
Yale held the lead to the finish, rowing
steady 30 to 38, and finished eight
lengths ahead of Columbia, which was
two and one-half lengths before Har

that the big deal between the Pine

The interest on $,r00,000 worth of

terms of the contract. When tho lirst
ol July passed without any payment on
iterest, some of the stockholders of the
I'ine Mountain Iron and Coal Company
became somewhat ex?rcised over the

had fallen through.
James S. Kay, president of the com
pany, stated that the delay waa only
temporary, and the interest would cer
ta niy be paid by today.' This morning
the money waB not paid, and this after
noon nothing had been beard of it.
When President Ray was approached
this morning he refused to state whether
or not the interest would be paid, and
his reticence added color to the report
that the deal had been dropped.
It was stated laat Friday that the
money would bo deposited with the
Louisville Trust Company, but it was

MPilELL DECLINES.
Ail ilrs In Itiipubllcau National Commit
tee Uadly Demoralized.
Milwaukee, July 5 II. C. Payne, the
Wisconsin Republican leader and mem
ber of t e national committee, today
sent to James S. Clarkson the following
telegram: "Campbell will decline to
keep this private. I am posting our
Washington friends so as to secure wise
action. Campbell will be in Washing
ton tomorrow."
The tact that this telegram had been
sent le iked out here today and caused
much talk aud no little consternation in
Republican circles. Campbell's record
and connection are nowhere better
known than in Wisconsin, and Repub
licans here are generally agreed that
his selection as manager of Harrison's
campaign was a grave mistake, but it is
said that the mistake will be aggravated
rather than mitigated by his refusal to
accept and the confusion and trouble
which this action will entail.
There is a rumor here that Mr. Payne
himself is possibly to be chosen in place
of Campbell, anil that his negotiations
with "our Washington friends" referred
to in tbe dispatch are ones with that
end in view
WILLIAM 1. CAMPBELL.
William J. Campbell, selected as
chairman of the national Republican
committee, is a Western lawyer of note.
He resides in Chicago where his practice
is said to amount to $35,000 annually.
For several years past he has been
counsel for the Amours, who are said to
pay hiin $20,000 for his services an

Chicago suburban district in the Illinois
Senate for four years.

of both Senators Farwell and Cullom
for collector of the port of Chicago, a
position which pays $12,000 annually.
President Harrison refused to name him
and Senator Farwell is reported to have
had a personal altercation with the
President over the matter. Collector
Clark who was given the place, was the
choice of George M. Pullman. It is be
lieved that Senator Cullom prevailed on
President Harrison to select Mr. Camp
bell for the committee's chairmanship.
New York, July 5 Ex-Chairman
Clarkson, of the Republican national
committee, at the Plaza hotel, answer
ing questions, stated that he had
received a telegram from William
J. Campbell, originally chairman
of the committee, stating that lie

m. today, and will confer with Presi

of a private character. After the con
ference with the president, Mr, Camp

tomorrow. There will be a meeting of the
executive committee of the national
committee, which will be of great im
portance, jur. ctar&son declined to
