T W E N T Y -N IN E ARE DEAD Marquette, Kansas, in Path o f T o r nado's Destructive Sweep. Marquette, Kan., May 10.— Follow ing a terrific rainstorm, a tornado from I the south tore a path through the resi dence part of this town at midnight last night, destroying almost every house in its path and causing the death of 20 and injury to 44 (arsons, several of whom w ill die. An unusually hot and oppressive afternoon, during wh’ch the atmosphere was loaded with electricity, was fol lowed by a night (>eculiar for a deluge of rain. This continued until 11 :55 p. m., when the tornado, which had formed about three miles south of town, spent its force among the best resi dences, dashing them into ruins, in which their occupants were entombed. It was gone in five minutes and contin ued to mark its path with devastation for many miles northward. The people of the town were depend ent entirely on their own resources, for all telegraph and telephone wires were down and only by sending out to neigh boring towns was it possible to get help. Not until 8 o’clock in the morning did physicians begin to arrive from outside, and they set to work to care for the wounded. When the missing in Marquette had been pretty thoroughly accounted for, the searchers directed their attention to the surrounding country. Soon half a dozen wagonloads of dead and injured had been brought to the town from the district adjoining it on the south. Tonight order has been brought out of the chaos, and a relief committee has begun dispensing relief. Among the relief sent from nearby towns were 150 pupils from Bethany college, who acted as nurses.

Gonsul General Predicts Loss o f Ex W M L WILL CURL Shipment by Panama Now Slow and Expensive. REPORT SENT TO PRESIDENT Rates by Government Railroad Must be Very Low to O ffset Loss in Handling. San Francisco, May 9. — A matter.of great commercial importance to the Pacific coast is discussed in a report that has been prepared for the informa tion of President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, of the War department, and J. L. Bristow, a special commissioner ap pointed by President Roosevelt to visit this ci ast and acquire facts. The ques tion refers to the utility of the Panama route for the movement of freight be tween San Francisco and the Atlantic states. The report was submitted to W . R. Wheeler, W. J. Dutton and Rufus I*. Jennings. It was adopted by the trustees of the chamber of com merce and forwarded to Washington in printed form by the chamber. The report says in pa*t: “ The present freight schedule via Panama is apparently hased on the overland railroad freight schedule, the charges of the former varying from 78 to 90 per cent, witli an averagejof about 83 per cent of the latter; in other words, the differentials in favor of the Panama route, with its 30-day trip as compared with the transcontinental route with its 14-day trip, are so small that the shipper eitlier east or west does not consider the saving sufficient to cover the risk of damage or breakage in the necessary several handlings of goods via Panama. “ Under government ownership of the Panama railroad and the sea route to New York from Colon, tlie only ques tion to be considered would he whether the freiglit rates could lie made suffi ciently low to make tl.e saving on trans portation expense an object to the ship per and enough to offset the additional time required in transit.” GOOD MEN GO UP. Forestry Service is Improved Civil Service Rules. Washington, May 10.— Consul Gene ral Mason, reporting to the State de partment upon the disastrous effect upon trade with Germany involved by the new German ta iiff law, which is to go into effect next March, urges “ the preparation of a new and carefully drawn treaty of amity which will pro mote a normal and increased reciprocal trade while conserving ami protecting the interests of both nations.” Mr. Mason says that it is his opinion Germany is sharply divided on the question whether the most favored na tion clause of the German-American treaty w ill be allowed to continue after the new commercial treaties become effective. The commercial and indus trial classes generally, he savs, aie op posed to a drastic policy w hich might lead to reprisals and increase the cost of bread. The State department is daily re ceiving protests from large American business houses against the new Ger man tariff rates, which they claim w ill destroy their German export trade. Burned One Vessel, Seized Another. St. Petersburg, May 10.— General I.inievitch, in a dispatch to the emperor dated May 7, gives the Russian official version of the recent taid by Russian torpedo Ivoat destroyers from Vladivo stok. He says Captain Baron Raden, while reconnoitering the coasts of Japan with a torpedo flotilla, burned a Japanese schooner two miles off Cape Soutsouki and put the crew ashore, and also captured another schooner 15 miles off the Japanese coast. After removing nine of her crew . Captain Raden sent the prize to Vladivostok C opper Found in Helena.

Nan Francisco, May 9.— A stiff gale from the southeast caused damage to several vessels in the upper hay today. The torpedo boat destroyer Paul Jones, at anchor off Stewart street, dragged her anchors and collided with the cruiser Marblehead, staving in a plate of the Paul Jones and m ining one of her life boats. The schooner Ruby, although she had two anchors out, was carried by the gale down the hay from her posi tion iff Harrision street, and it was necessary tor the Marblehead to shift her anchors to avoid being struck by the schooner. The big collier Eureka, lying on the north side of Folsom street wharf, parted her stern lines and was carried by the high sea against the tug boat General Mifflin. The Mifflin was dam aged to the extent of perhaps $5,000. The stern of the Eureka was damaged to the extent of several hundred dol lars. The river steamer Alvise, at H arri son street wharf, was buffeted about by the rougli seas and in l*er lurching lost her smokestack, besides smashing her fantail and the guard rail from stem to stern, the damage amounting to about $1,000. B O A TS ARE N E AR LY DONE. American Designer Rushing W ork in Russian Yards. Sebastopol, May 9. — The torpedo boats which are being built at the gov ernment yard here, under the general supervision of Lewis Nixon, of New York, are nearing completion and their trials in the Black sea w ill begin in a few days. In order to overcome the difficulty always encountered in work in a foreign country, Mr. Nixon pro vided his own organization, with which he lias pushed the construction of these boats to a state of completion. Much .is expected of these torpedo boats. The Russian admiralty already has had practical evidence of the sea worthiness of the Nixon boats in the performance of the Gregory, which crossed the Atlantic in the face of heavy weather, hut the future pres tige of tlie designer of the American battleship Oregon w ill depend in Rus sia upon the result of the coming trials, which will be much more severe than usual, in order to test certain things claimed for them by their American constructor. MADE T W E N T Y -D O L L A R B ILLS Under Washington, May 9. — Up to a few months ago the forestry service, includ ing forest inspectors, forest superin tendents, forest assistants and forest ranger, were outside the classified ser vice, and tlie positions paying all the way from $720 to $2,000 a year were prey for influential politicians. As was to lie expected, many incompetents were loaded onto the government, and there was much complaint because of tlie inefficiency of the forestry force. December 17, 1904, the president brought the forestry under civil service protection; soon thereafter congress transferred forest resetves to the con trol of the department of Agriculture, and now Gifford Pinchot, chief of the forestry bureau, who is actually in charge, is inaugurating reforms which he believes will greatly improve the service in .every way. The Roosevelt idea of promoting good men is being applied, and the higher positions in the forestry service are hereafter to be tilled by the promotion of competent men in tlie lower posi tions. In tlie new service the i«>si- tions w ill he graded as follows: Forest supervisor, $1,800 to $2,500 a year; deputy forest supervisor, $1,500 to $1,- 700 a year; forest ranger, $1,200 to $1,400; deputy forest ranger. $1,000 to $1,100; assistant forest ranger, $S00 to $900. Persons who were in tlie forestry service on the date of tlie president’ s order were carried under civil service protection; hereafter all appointments w ill Tie made after examination of ap plicants and preference will be given to local men, selecting rangers and su pervisors, when practicable, from tlie states in which they are to be em ployed. Russian advices say that Admiral Togo's flagship has sunk with all on board. No confirmation can he oh tained. If true, it means a heavy loss to the Japanese, as both the admiral and his ship are badly needed. VESSELS IN C O L L IS IO N . Counterfeiters Caught A fter from Coast to Coast. Chase Portsmouth Va., May 9. — After a vigorous chase that led through sev eral Atlantic coast cities, Secret Ser vice Officer T. E. Land, of Boston, to day arrested Thomas Brewster, Charles Fairbanks, and Robert Slack, all of San Francisco, charged with extensive counterfeiting operations. The trio were located at Key West, Fla., but they succeeded in eluding arrest until they reached here. It is said thut large quantities of bogus money have- tieen circulated in all the cities through which the men passed. Together with the prisoners the secret service officer captured $5,- 000 in counterfeit money, most of which is in the denomination of $20 bills. Officer Land said today that lie dis covered that a large number of spurious bills were made at Buffalo, N. Y ., which was the distributing point of the gang that was operating. IM M IG R A N T S PO U RING IN. O ver 12,000 Admitted at New York In Twelve Hours. New York, May 9.— A ll records were broken today in the number of im m i grants passing quarantine. W ithin 12 hours 12,03!* foreigners, arriving in steerage, were permitted to enter New ’Lpik, indicating that tlie spring influx oT immigrants this year w ill probably exceed tlie records for former vears. Ten trans-Atlantic liners brought this army of immigrants to the United States. They began to arrive early in the morning, and the last to pass quarantine was the Hainburg-American liner Blucher, which was admitted at 6 o’clock in the afternoon and added 605 names to the already long list of foreigners arriving in the steerage. Sunk in Dense Fog. Vineyard Haven, Mass., May 9. — Tlie Joy line steamer Aransas, Captain Rond, was sunk in collision with the barge Gletulower one and one half miles southeast of the Pollock Rip Shoals lightship at 1 o’clock this morn ing.

The other passengers, of whom there were 37, together with the crew of 25, were brought here by a tug and landed at midnight. Made Russian Naval Base. Ixindon, May 9 — A telegram from Hongkong to a news agency gives a long dispatch, which it alleges the French authorities at Saigon refused to transmit April 30, detailing how for ten days the Russian Pacific squadron was allowed to convert Kamranh hay practically into a Rnssian base, freely coaling and provisioning nnder the di rection of Prince Lieven, captain of the interned Russian cruiser Diana, the Frenih admiral being present.
