The effect will bo to make money much easier out west, and to reopen mines in Xevadu and Arizona that closed down on account of the low price of silver. The good effect in fact, may be said to be felt already, as this morning it is telegraphed that silver is quoted at S1.09 per ounce. 1 thin!: that congress acted wisely in passing the bill, and believe it will lend eventually to free coinage."

Siecial I!y 1'iik Uxttfd I':i-. JIix:aLroiiis, July 14. At an early honr this morning a special train took correspondents of the United Press from St. Paul to the scene of the ter rible cyclone. No sign of the terrible havoc wtis visible until the top of the bill overlooking the little valley was reached, where on the side of tho liill was seen a house belonging to Air. Harris, with f lie roof blown ofi' and part of the south side blown away, but buildings were .eotlered about in a bad condition. No one was burl at this point, but a quarter of a mile north the whole scene of destruction lay spread before the eye along the shore. At a point where the storm turned ami crossed the lake wore trie houses of Sshnrmeier and Good, and another house iu which each had an interest. Ail these were lolally demolished. All the trees in the neighborhood were torn, twisted, and stripped of bark and limbs, and from Hie mangled trunks of many hung articles of clothing. In the lake arc the bodies of horses Skv.'ing amid heaps of boards and house timbers. Here probablv will be fonutl lito bodies of the missing, as they could not bo found in thestacked up b:ard, and furniture on the land. As an iliuslration of the force of the wind, iron pipe were torn from the well iu front or the Good resi dence, twisted and bent almost double, and deposited 50 yards from tho well. On lhe edge of the water is a pile of boards covered with turf, lifted from a swamp 200 yards away. Strewn all about are pieces ot furniture, baoks and stove?. The wells and eellcrs are tilled to tho top with bnilding debris, and in the Schurmeier cellar, lie the mangled remains of a horee. The ground about those houses has the appearance from a dlstauce of having been gone over with a plow, while from this point .: to Gaetskes, lre:$ are blown down in vast numbers and crops are demoralized.

A married daughter of Mr. Good, who was in her father ; cottage when destroyed at Lake Gervais, telis the foliowiug stery: '-All our family were iu the house wailing upon compauy. Wo saw the storm approaching, and some of 11 to household suggested that wo get into the cellar. The storm looked as if it were coming right down on the houses of Schurmeier and ours. My husband and I were standing at the window, wlrile others were scattered around the house, all suggesting some place of security. After a few mo ments a great spinning cloud reached the center of the lake. I saw tho water divido and overflow the banks forty feet. As papa was looking out ot the door ho saw tho trees near the Mullanehes cottage crash beneath the whirl of the wind. The Mullauche collage was then swept away and our barn thrown broadside against our house. "Just at tins time my hnsbaud threw me bodily down ihe cellar stairs and I landed in the potato bin. Then he threw Miss lving. and Mr. McPherson jumped after. My husband then tumbled down, and called upon the othero to follow. Tho building crushed in upon us; then portions of it were hurled skyward. Then a huge ice chest fell jnto the ccller, and pinned us all down. As we lay there in pain ful refuge, we heard the Schurmeier house, alxjnt fifteen feet from our SIOM THE OCEAXT BEACH, house crash and scatter its timbers in all directions, and for 15 minutes timbers and furniture from both houses were hurled about the site of the4iouses. sAf ter our release from the cellar, we began looking for members of the household. We found them scattered about. Miss Minnie lay m the road, her head and mouth bleeding badly. Carrie, her sister, was pinned under a tree and hurt internally. George Miller lay dead and mangled in the road. His wife was also buried be neath the wreck and hurt badly. Mrs. Hastings and her daughter Stella, were bruised badly and the former will lose tho sight of one eye." F1SD1XG THE XSODICS. From 125 to 150 Persons Were Killed. Special to Tiik Astokiax Red Wixg. Minn., July 14. During the night fifty-live bodies were re covered, and this morning up to 10 o'clock soven more had been pulled out. At 1030 the bodies of a woman and child, to which ropes had been attached, were drawn from the water. The child was the daughter of John Winters, of Eed Wing. Fred Zeivers, a blacksmith, was taken out a few minutes later, making a total of sixty five, which is probably about half the total number drowned. From early morning a patrol of row boats has been kept up all over the neighborhood of the wreck, looking for bodies, and several were found in that way last night. A small boy was found floating and yelling threo nules down the lake from the see 'e of tho disaster. Battery "A,M of St. Paul, kept up a cannondiug during the day, trying to raise bodies, but without success. A tug this morning pulled out the shattered wreck of the iSea Wing, re leasing three bodies, one woman and two men. Alice Palmer of Trenton, was one of these, but the two men had not been identified up to 1 o'clock. That makes a total of GS bodies now found. Estimates vary as to the number of the dead. There were over 200 people on the steamer aud barge, when they started to return to Eed Wing, a very few remaining behind on account of the storm, al though many protested against the proposal to steam up the lake, in tho face of such a gale as was then blow ing. Of the whole number it is known positively that about fifty were saved. More may have escaped, but only this many are known at this time to bo safe." That would leave about 150 victims, but everyone hopes the num ber may not go beyond 125. A goodly number are still in the wreck and a great many on tho bottom of the lake at the point where the galo first struck the steamer. Just how many are lost will not be known for some time yet, possibly not for several days. AT IiAICE PEPIN. ITIorc Particulrs of tltc Cyclone. Special to The Astorias MiNJTEAroiiis, Minn., July 11.

STJolJjjOl. The Biggest Mill on Earth. Charles Hanson, of the big Tacoma mill, has traveled extensively and tells some interesting things to Wea77i oftJie West about what lae saw abroad. Tho biggest saw mill on earth, he says is in Christiana, Norway, and owned by one man. It has a capacity of 1,000,000 feet in a day (eighteen hours). It runs 36 gang saws, though, they are much smaller than the ones used in this section; it is fitted up with circular saws and their Troll machinery similar to ours. It has six plaining mills. From 40 to 50 ships load at one time at its docks. In connection with, this mill, and owned by the same man, are two largo flour mills. The London yard of this mill extends more than one mile in length. The lumber shipped is all seasoned, some of it in kilns and the rest by pil ing. The greatest care is exercised in keeping the floor clean and white. In some parts of tho world the men who unload it are not allowed to wear boots but must go in there bare feet. The lumber is manufactured much, smoother than in this country as the saws are not crowded as much as here. It is cut to exact gauge and so evenly cut to length that when piled the ends' are almost as even a3 the face of a brick wall. The extent of the traffic in lum ber on the Baltic ocean can be com prehended when 500 vessels laden with lumber were seen by Mr. Hanson in one day on that body of water. En gland, Ireland and Scotland absorb annually 3,700,000,000 feet of lumber. The English people have a fancy for white floors, hence the Norway pine is the popular lumber in that country. The forests of Norway are good for 500 years, iu fact under the present system one might say for ever. When a piece of timber land has been cut over it is at once thickly replanted; at the end of a few years is it gone over again and the poor trees cut out to give room - for tho good one3. The lumber of Norway is the great barrier against whicb the Pa cific coast lumbermen must always content All lumbermen know Mr. Hanson's big mill at Tacoma, that can cut a a half million in twenty four hours but when a captain of a vessel from Norway, that was loading at his docks inti mated that "it was a good little mill," but that that there was one in Nor way two or three times as large, he de cided to see the biggest mill on earth. He was not disappointed, for tho Nor wegian captain had spoken truly. lfl ipJuCfga up fcv!r fiT. B QJ tyjUl Cures? SaVE TOUR EYESt&HT. Prof. F. D. Sewarft Of New York, The Ciuuient.
