TORNADO IN THE SOUTH. Nlntty Dead and Over 100 Injured by a Storm in Texas- Dallas, Tex., May 20.— A special to the News from Goliad, Tex., says: Ninety are dead. Over 100 are wounded. In addition there is a gap­ ing wound in the town—the ¡rath of one of the most destructive cyilones ever known in Texas. The tornado struck tins place about 3:45 o’clock yesterday afternoon, lasting only about five minuteB, leaving death and disaster everywhere in its wake. It came from the southeast without a warning, completely demolishing a strip about two blocks wide through the whole western part ol the town, about a mile long. Among the many houses demolished a e the Baptist church and parsonage, just built, the Methodist church and a colored church. It is imjiossible to estimate the numlrer of houses destroyed, hut it is thought the number will reach 100. The amount of damage done cannot he ap­ proximated, hut it is very great. All the human dead and wounded have been taken care of. The path of de­ vastation is strewn with all kinds of debris and dead and wounded animals. The pitiful cries of the wounded are to be heard everywhere, and at times are heartrending. A repo t irom the country around Goliad is to the effect that no damage was done. A so c ia l train hearing the O’Conner guards, six physicians, nurses and ma y volunteers, came from Victoria, and also a special train from Cnero, bringingjihysieiuns, nurses, druggists and volunteers. Although everything is being done for the reilef of the wounded, cries for physicians and med­ ical attention are everywhere heard. So far 90 dead and 120 injured have been reported. NO. 27.

Newborn. O n « * « . RICH STRIKE OF GOLD. Sumpter Mine Yields a Streak of Ora Which Assays $50,000 to the Ton. Baker City, Or., May 19.—A message from Sumpter says that the strike in tlie Golconda mine, which was reported Thursday, proves to he much greater than at first suppo.-ed. The winze sunk from the 200 foot level has opened up the ore shoot which was first discovered in 1899, and afterwards lost liecause the former owners persisted in looking for it to tiie south of the main shaft, assuming that it dipped in that direc­ tion. There is a rich pay streak in the vein matter that averages 18 to 18 inches wide, and the assays made today from samples of ore from this portion of the vein run $50,000 to the Urn. It is free milling ore, and an rich that some of the specimens run over 60 per cent pure gold. Asido front treing very valuah'e the specimens are exceedingly beautiful. On one side of this rich pay streak there is three feet of sulphurate that assays $700 to $1,000 to the ton, and on the other side there is a w ide strip of good milling ore. A careful exam­ ination of the ground and the vein es­ tablishes the fact that it is a perman­ ent vein, and not a pocket that has been opened. The Golconda was sold by the Eng­ lishes, father and son, of Danville, III., to a syndicate composed principally of Pendleton people and J. H. Robbins, of Sumpter, for $300,000 cash. HOLD MANCHURIA. Concessions to England Furnish an Excuse for Russian Occupation Pekin, May 19.—A second railroad argeement, which Sir Earnest Satow, the British minister to China, ami Yuan Shi Kai, director general of the Pekin-Shan Hai Railway, signed the same day the agreement restoring the Pekin-Shan Ilai Kwan line was made and which the parties there attempted to keep secret, has become known among the •'iplomatu and is arousing opposition from the powers interested in railroad projects Friendly observ­ ers regard Great Britain’s railroad agreements as a serious diplomatic blunder. Before they were signed it is said, there was no apparent obstacle that Russia could urge for failing to fulfill the Manchurian convention. Now the Russian diplomats frankly say these railroad agreements furnish ob­ stacles inch as were contemplated by the stipulation in the .Manchurian con­ vention that Russia would evacuate if no other powers interposed obstacles, -or Great Britan to abandon its second agreement means loss of prestige: to insist upon it means grave complica­ tions in the Manchurian question. PORT CHALMETTE CASE. Louisiana State Authorities May Take Action In the Metter. Washington, May 17.—As tho presi­ dent, after considering the re|>ort of Colonel Crowder, has decided that lie cannot interfere with animal shipments ut Port Chalmette, La., and as the ex­ ecutive is tho only branch of the gov­ ernment clothed by the Constitution to pass upon the application of the laws of neutrality, as expressly affirmed by the Louisiana courts recently, it is be­ lieve«! here that the Louisiana stale au­ thorities will seek to make an issue with the federal courts by undertaking to do what the president himself has not seen fit to do. It is presumed that in due course the executive’s decision will be communi­ cated to the governor of Louisiana, who first brought the Port Chalmette opera­ tions to the attention of the national government.
