Intense durkness prevailed after tbe

broke out in a dozen places In the ruins
and shed light over the scene. In all
probability n inner of bodies hove been

The storm fltlrst struck the eastern por.
tlon of the city, near that part occupied
by the boarding house of the students
of the (American School of OsMopathy.

seminary.
It was Just supper time for tbe stu

the Hat of dead will be well tilled with
students, as a large number f these
boarding houses were demolished.
The second edition of the cyclone fol
lowed the first 20 minute later. It came
as an Inky black cloud, widely dlatrltmted
and covered the whole town, but passed

district (tate that many farmers have
suffered severely, and that several lives
have been lost outside of Klrksvllle.

NEW ORIHNTAL LINE
OUT OF SAN
FRANCISCO.
The Santa K Railroad Will Commence
Operating One With New Steam
ships on July L
CHICAGO. April 27.-The Chronicle
says:
Officer, of tbe At'-hlaon, Topeka A
Santa Ke railroad have about decided
to put on a line of Irani-Pacific steam.
er to ply between San Francisco and
the Orient. The company Is now plan.
jnlnf to open Its new line Into the metrop.
jolls of the co. .a July I. and It Is In con
nection with this road that the new boat
line Is to be Inaugurated.
Several months ago the Santa Fe
oh-nel a trans-t'aclrlc route from San
Diego, and the service has been success
ful, lnsteal of adding- more steamers
to the San Diego service, It has thought
best to put on a second line to run from
San Francisco. The new line will in no
way Interfere with the one alredy es
tablished, tbe second one being auxiliary
to tbe first.
One of the Pacific steamship com.
panics bas awarded contracts to tbe
Cramps for tbe construction of four new
a.senger and freight steamers of J.Oul
tons capacity each, and two or all of
these vessels may be used by the Santa
Fe. Just how the new line will be oper
ated has not yet been determined. It
is said that tbe Santa Fe Company may
buy outright one or more of the steamers
now building. If this Is not done they
may be run by the railroad under a lease.
When the Santa Fe's new rail line Is
finished It will be the first and only
company to run Its trains over Us
own tracks between Chicago and San
Francisco.

Larsest Copper Ledges In the Northwest
Discovered Close to Tacoma.
SAN FRANCISCO. April ST.-A special
from Tacoma says:
It is reported that the largest Copper
ledges ever discovered In lb Northwest
have been found In the Carbon district,
north of Mount Itanier. and (0 miles east
of this city. The ore Is said to be glm-
lar In character and geological sltua.
lion to that found In Montana, and to
be fully as rich as that of the Butte
mines.
Chester Thome, president of the Na
tional Bank of Commerce of this city,
has had prospectors at work In the new
district for two years. It Is stated that
a large force of men will engate In the
work of development as soon as the
snow disappears.
D. O. Mills, of New York, and Alvlnaa
Hayward. of San Francisco, are here on
a tour of Inspection of their properties
in this section.
The Tacoma smelter Is being enlarged
to four times Its present capacity with
the primary object of handling the out.
put of Idaho and Alaska mines controlled
by these capitalists. Before returning,
home they will Inspect the recent coal
discoveries In the Mount Baker district.
The Bellingham Bay and British Colum
bia Railway may be extended to the new
mines.
CAPTATN COGHLAN MUST
BE SEVERELY PUNISHED.
The German Newspapers Are Verv In
dignant, and Pronounce His Ut
terances "Criminal."
NEW YORK, April J7 A special to
the World from Berlin says: The morn.
Ing papers here, owing to the receipt of
fresh telegrams from London giving fur.
ther details of the feeling in America,
are almost unanimous in Insisting that
Captain Coghlan must be adequately
punished. They declare that U Is only
quibbling to say that he spoke to a pri
vate club, as his subsequent pioceedlims
prove that ho had no objection to pub
licity. The song about the kaiser ex
cites far more Indignation than the rev
elations about Dewey's difficulties with
Dicdrloh.
The government, however, will take no
official action, althougn It is expected
that Captain Coghlan will receive pun
ishment commensurate with his offense.
The newspapers call his utterances
criminal.
