CRAZED HY THE CaLaMITY The reoplc Are It i tttiableCosdittoa-rire Complete the Work ol tbe Storm Re lUt it Bod Other Storm.. Oufhri", O. T., March Jl. Th last report from Chandler say that In last nltfht'a cyclone, which almost swept the town on the face of the earth, twenty people were killed outright, or burned to death, and fully one hundred and seventy Injured. Of these Utter it ts thought fourteen wilt die, and twenty-four others are tn a dangerous condition. The remainder of the pop ulatlcm is tvanelesw. The Preebyterlan church, Mttchel'a hotel and two other buildings are all that remain standing. Theae have been turned Into hospitals. The property loss will agrrefate J500.- 000. There are not half enough comics here to bury the dead. ' The storm came up from the south- went without a moment's warning, and, sweeping across the town, ftm demol ished the business district, then laid low the rdldence portion, and. rcuslr.n on, spent itaelf In the open prairie. The wreck, of many store hutldinga took fire and In a short time an awful holocaust was to progress. Many of those injured and burled in the ruins were burned to death befoie help could reach them. The fire broke out first In tbe ruins of the Kew Yora store and the Lincoln county banc ar.d spread to the adjoining building, mak ing it neiwary to fight the Kama as well aa rescue the injured. Tnv people were alow to r.-cover from the shock of the calamity, and rot un til today did anything like svsuTi pte vall In the work of relief. At 11 o'clock tonight the particulars are s!iU mea ger. Save one slow working telephone wire out of Guthrie, the town id tstlll practically cut oft from th oun'de world. The storm broke upon the city sud denly. The sky was dear an hour be fore. Shortly before 6 o'cioctc a mass of dark clouds gathered in the South east and then whirled north. They soon developed into a funnel-shaped monster and bore down upon the out skirts of the tow n. As the mass touched the ground the roar was deafening. The funnel split aa it struck the south west border of Chandler, widen is sit uated on a hill overlooking Cow creefc valley, and one half went through the town and the other turned north Be fore escape was possible, the cyclone iad passed through rhe town. Tearing through the business district, stores were hurled right and left, or lifted high In the air and tossed In every di rection. The corut house was twisted around and hurled Into the str-ct, a complete wreck. One of the occupants was killed outrigtit and a dozen In jured. Further down the main street the Lincoln county bank building was toppled over and was soon enveloped in flames. Here, before aid could reach them, five unfortunates were burned to death, pinioned down by heavy tim bers. Still further down the street three children suffered a like fate. A two-days' old babe was carrk-d four blocks and not injured, while the mother was crushed in her bed. The trail the storm left was one of wreck and ruin most complete. But one of Chandler's physicians es caped injury, and even when aid from Guthrie arrived there was a scarcity of surgeons. Only two were able to do anything last night, and one of these, Dr. Walcott, with blood streaming from a sightless eye, worked until he fainted. . Daylight brought hundreds of people from surrounding towns and women and children assisted in caring for the Injured. Queer sights greet the eye on all aides. Ten trees have a house roof on each; clothing and household goods are scattered In the streets; dead horses, cows and other animate are to be seen everywhere, while a pile of ruins has a tine piano perched on the top of it. Many of the citizens wander about the streets dosed at the calamity, and al most on the verge of insanity the 1om of family and homes. Two or three have rone stark mad. By nightfall tonight 10,000 people had flocked Into the cdty. Many of them rame to rnnlr aid. hut the majority are there aa morbkl alghtiT. Great quantltlea of Nothing, beddlns; and pro vlaiotia have bi aerrt m and aOuthrle club has r&bied 11,500 in cash to semd tomorrow. The city has put to use all Its ch, alK.ut 1700, for tmmeillate aid. Hundrwla of tents have been sent from Fort Reno and Outhrte, and will pro vide temporary shelter for the unfor tunate people. All art? hometeas and subatantlal aid must quickly follow. HTORM8 IX COLORADO. Dfmver, March 31. AH the eastern railroads have been tied up today, but they hope to get trains through to night. A high wind packed every cut full of snow, sand and sage brush, which makes a barrier hard to buck. On the Colorado tinea to the irest very little trouble has been experienced on account of the storm. IX NEBRASKA. Superior. Xeb.. March 31. Last night a wind storm, amounting almost to a tornado, ' swept across the country about four miles east of Superior. Many farm buildings were destroyed, but so far as known no live were lost.

Votlngf on the bill was not to bpffln until Z o'clock this afternoon, but the gaJ taries were crowded early to wlmesa the maneuvring leading up to the cli max of a ten-days' battle. Dingley' and Bailey, the opposing leaders, were tn their placet wheat Speaker Reed called the house to order at t o'clock. Richardson, of Tennes see, called attention to the fact that there was manifestly no quorum pres ent, but declined , on aoocunt of tha brief time remaining for the considera tion of tbe Mil to make the point GroBV-jnor presented the amendment, about which there has been aomucb. discussion during the last ten days, fixing1 April 1 aa the date on whkh the bill shall go into effect The democrat were alert Mr. Bailey tm mediately made tbe point that the amendment was out of order. . It was obnox lousy he said, tn the oldest and best rule of law' that no statute shall be retroac tive. As the hour for voting arrived, the excitement increased. Fif leery minute before 3 o'clock McMillan waa recog nized, for five minutes to close the de bate for his side. Dingtey then took the floor and closed the debate In a ten minute speech.

The Mil was then ordered to be read the third time, after which Dockery offered a motion for the, mi nority to recommit the bill with In structions. Contrary to general expec tations, no point of order was raised against the motion. Dtngley, however, immediately damanded the previous question, on motion, which was ordered and without debate a vote was taken upon, it by yeas and mV. The mo tion to recommit was lost, 148 to 194. Tbe republicans voted solidly against the motion and the combined oppost- ; tion, with tbe exception of Newlands, for it.
