SILVER REPUBLICANS TO BOLT Startling Flans Disclosed, Bat Prob ably Cannot Be Carried Out Trouble Among Cattlemen. Special to the Astoriart, Baxter Springs, Kan., July 6. Baxter Springs was laid in ruins, Ave people kill ed and twenty others badly wounded by the 'bursting of a cyclone that struck the town alb out 6 o'clock last evening.

Republican Sllverltes to Bolt the Party. Chicago; July 6. A special to the Dally News from Washington says: Western silver Republicans have outlined an in' teresting program to be pursued in the next national Republican convention. To day a Western Republican of national prominence, who arrived In Washington, two days ago, disclosed the program of the silver men da all Its details and it is so audaciouj as to startle political man' agers here. The plan, lie cays, was agreed upon at a' conference of Western senators 'held last month. The senators and other Western (Republican leaders who partici pated In the compact represent the west ern silver states and profess to be able to control the delgatlons to the next Republican convention from those states. These states are Montana, Idaho, Wyom lng, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Ne vada, Utah, California,' and South Da kota. Ttoea states are claimed solid for the agreement and the states of North Dakota and Nebraska may yet Join them. It la their purpose to meet and choose delegates to the national Republican con vention in regular form and when the convention meets ito present the name of Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, for president. If Cameron Is not acceptable to the Republicans the convention will be asked to agree upon some other Republi can. If It refuses to act upon the sugges tion the delegates from these Western states say they will march out of the convention in a body, carrying with them as many of their free silver delegates' as. they 'can command. They will wait upon the Democratic convention, as a commlS' slon knocking a't its doors, and asking for the nomination! of a free sUver Demo crat, Senator Morgan, of Alabama, pre ferred. If the Democrats fall to act upon the matter the silver men will abandon both old parties. It la not now the Intention of the mana gers of the Independent political move' ment to nominate a standard bearer for 1896, on the independent silver platform, but their efforts will be directed toward choosing electors pledged to the silver cause, regardless of personal preferences. The Idea of nominating an Independent free silver candidate has prevailed until quite recently but was abandoned, as a piece of bad political policy, and falling to securo recognition from either of the national conventions, the silver men say they will seek to hold tha balance of power In the next electoral college, and prepare one of th old parties to bring forward a silver man in rrder to eecure election. The movement outlined is at present confined to the Republican party. The Democrats declare that they fear a sim ilar Insurrection -may break out in their Own party led by the Southern Democrats allied with Western men on the money question. Tha Republican leaders today assert that If ft caia be shown conclusively In the next national Republican convention ..:.U Western Republicans have arranged any such program for bolting the conven tion as that disclosed today, the commit tee on credentials will refuse to seat the debates until they pledge themselves to abide by the work of the convention. THE! STORM IN MISSOURI. Special to the Astorlin. Springfield, Mo., July 6.-The storm, awful in Its t-irror, and total in its work of destruction, wiped out the town of Winona, on. the Current river branch of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis railroad in Shannon county, at 10:30 o'clock last night.

While Cej wind ceased, the rain Increased Intensely. At 10:16 over four feet of water was on the streets. In fifteen minutes many buildings could not stand the strain, and A began to careen. Vivid flashes of light' nlng pierced the down pour which came Ilka tha falls ot Niagara. Houses were smashed and In the water were hundreds of persons. It was like a ship wreck in the ocean. Cries ot terror and shouts for help from struggling people clinging to pieces of timber made the scene one that baffled Intelligent effort to save tha help less. The strong current rushing down tha valley carried many to higher land and place of safety. BRAD3TREETS' TRADE REVIEW. Encouraging Reports From All Sections .Wages Advancing. New York, July 6. OBradstreets will say: Notwithstanding that tha week Is broken by a holiday, tha f avoraibls trada condi tions heretofore reported continue to ex ercise a profound influence. General ad vances in tha price of staples and wages of industrial enterprU is a prominent feature.

Pendleton, Or., July 6. Word came in Friday- that there is trouble between the cattle men and sheep men in Camas Prai rle. Owing to the shortness of tha range and the feeling of jealousy on the part of the cattle owners toward the sheep men, some of the cattle men took steps to forcibly drive off certain persons whose stock was fattening on tha Camas pas tures. It Is alleged, that fourteen men went to Frederick Martin, who has taken a bunch of cattle to the new range, .where he has not been accustomed to keep them. They ordered him back to the locality from whence , he came and then later soma one drove off the cattle and put Martin to considerable trouble In col lecting tha band.1 Then some 'one went to Adam Swain, a sheep man, and at night shot many of his sheep, which were in the corral. It ia again alleged that tha same party or their sympathizers, have burned the sheep camp belonging to Donald Ross. Soma of tha sheep men do not hesitate about charging all these of feoses to certain cattle men of Camas Prairie. LUCKY MULTNOM1AHS. Portland, July 6. Tha ball game today resulted Multnomah 9; Portlands 8. The game was exciting throughout owing to tha rivalry between the two clubs. It was gens-rally decided before the game that tha Multnomahs were no match for the Portlands, but they beat tha Port lands to Ibat. When tho Portlands retired at the 'first half of the ninth Inning, the score Stood 8 to 7 In their favor. In their half of the ninth the Multnomahs snatch' ed victory from defeat, and the glory be longs principally to Joe Smith. In the ninth Gadke made a safe hit and reached second on a passed ball, and then Smith rapped out a two bagger which, sent Gadlko over the plate. This tied the score and the crowd could not ba restrained. They yelled, blew horns, fired bombs, and made such a racket that the coaches could not be heard. It was left for Dren nan to win the game after the score was tied and two men out. He sent a liner Into tha left field and Smith scored the winning run. MILITARY PRISONS. Washington, July 6.

MAY BE AN INDEPENDENT DEAL Connection of the Old Eoad With the New One Depends on the West Side Subsidy. Yesterday saw another step taken la the railroad maner, as outlined In these col umns. Tha matter of the purchase of the Seaside road by the newt company was consummated. As was stated yes terday, however, the connection of the two roads and tha development of the en tire plan depends absolutely upon whether tha balance of tha promised subsidy on tha west side is subscribed or not. It is believed that those parties who are still behind will make good their prom ises and coma Into Una at once, as It would be the height of fatly to do other wise. Business Judgment will dictate the policy and as a simple cold blooded busi ness proposition, property owners' Jn- tereeta demand that tha same policy be pursued on the west side of the bay as has prevailed on the east side. The Astorlan has the same confidence in the committee of twenty-one and the citizens at large as It bas bad all along and be lieves that within a day or two all de tails will be arranged and that all those who have, committed themselves and made propositions upon which the pro jectors Siave based their calculations will make good their promises and agreements and thus remove all obstacles to the understanding which Is to emancipate Astoria and tha Columbia valley. Yesterday afternoon tha two passenger coaches and an engine were ordered by telegraph to be shipped from Portland and tha visitors to the seashore will at least ba assured of better accommoda tions than hava heretofore prevailed. whether & railroad is built to Astoria or not.

Bear Creek Farmer Aocueed of Burning , tha Burnslde, Dwelling. - Allck Hanson lies in a cell in the? count) J&il charged with the crime of arson. Ha is a farmer of Bear Creek and was arrest ed yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Drennan, on an information sworn to by Sheriff Hare, accusing him of tha mall clous burning of the Burnsldo dwelling, which occurred several weeks ago. Tha officer arrested (Hanson at his home on Bear Creek, and brought him to this city arriving here at 6:30 o'clock last evening. Ho was taken before Judgo McBride, who fixed bis ball at 21000, which ha was un able to furnish. Hanson Is weU known In this city, and bas lived in Clatsop county for a period of twenty yesars. For tha last year ha has lived with his wife in on of the Burnslde houses at Bear Creek. The Burnstde bouse, situated about 160 yards from where Hanson resided, was destroyed by fira and at tha time was supposed to have been the work of tramps who It iwas reported were lounging around tha neighborhood. Neighbors said they saw during tha time the building was burning several masked men who with pistols in hand; prevented them from sav ing the property. Tha authorities left for the scene and tha county court offered a reward of 2100 for the apprehension of tha guilty parties. A thorough investi gation was made, ,the officers finally coming to tha conclusion that the masked man story was a myth, and looked upon the case as a most peculiar and myste rious one. Whit evidence Sheriff Hars has against Hanson Is of course) not known. To an Astorlan reporter who vis ited htm In his cell last evening Mr. Han stated that he knew nothing whatever of the origin of the fire; that he lived in one of Mr. Burnslde's houses and received many favors from him and was always on the best of terms with him and th rest of his neighbors. Ho was Innocent of the crime, he said, and was at a loss to know the motive which actuated his arrest. The case will probably be heard Tuesd.iy. ,
