It is an undisputed fact that the hand
somest vestibule trains that are now
run oji the American continent are those
on tho "Bukiixgton Route," leaving
the TJuion Depot in Denver, also St.
Paul, immediately on arrival of all
through traius from the west. The first
and secoud class coaches are magnifi
cent, the Kecliuing chair cars superb,
the Pullman sleepers extremely luxuri
ant, and aa for the meals that are served
in those Palace Burlington dining cars
yum-yum. The next time you go east
to Kansas City.Chicago or St. Lonis, if
you mention to the ticket agent that
yon want your ticket to read from Den
ver or St. Paul over the Burlington
Route, you will get it, and you will al
ways be glad of it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadi
an Pacific, the elegant vestibule trains
of "The Burlington Route," between St.
Paul, Chicago aud St. Louis will carry
you alon;v the eastern shore of the Miss
issippi river for a distance of 350 miles,
amidst scenery that cannot be surpass
ed; or, if you go via the Oregon Short
Line or Southern Pacific, ard your ticket
reads via "The Burlington lioute, from
Cheyenne or Denver, you will pass

One Sweeps a Path Through
Louisville,
LEAVING A WRECK BEEflM).
Hundreds of Dead and Wounded
in the Kuins. ;
SNOW AND BUZZAKDS l.N THE KOR'i'H
Kains and Wind Sturm all Over the Went
Trains Blockaded.
The most destructive wind storms and
tornadoes which have ever been witness
ed in the United States began in Tennes
see and passed over the states north and
west, about !( o'clock of the evening of
March 27, causing appalling destruction
of life and property. The greatest des
truction was at Louisville, of which the
following account is from the dispatches
to the Portland Ureyoniuii:
The tornado entered the southeastern
part of the city at Eighteenth street and
swept a patii of five blocks diagonally,
reaching iu a ragged line to Seventh
street, leveling every building in it
path, probably 2500 houses.
The district comprises an area of
three miles, aud nearly half a mile
wide. Such desolation no city has
kuou iu this country. Every building,
tree aud telegraph pole in the district
was struck level. Every house ou Mar
ket, Jeft'ersou and Walnut streets - from
Tenth to Sixteenth is in ruins, Park
land, a suburb, was swept away.
Tlie cylclone crossed the river, striking
Jeffersonville, Ind., and badly wreck
ing Front street, ou the river front, but
no lives were lost.
The walls of the Falls City hall, a
four-story building, were blown down
while several Masonio and Knights of
Honor lodges were in session. One
hundred men aud women were buried in
the ruins.
Along Main street, the pathway of the
storm extended to Eleventh Btreet, end
from Seventh to Eleventh not a single
building is left standing. This morning
there was presented one of the most stu
pendous spectacles of ruin ever witness
ed. Iu the course of the storm lay the
great tobacco market. To-day the ware
houses are in ruins, Thousands of bogs
heads of tobacco lie in a mass of brick
and mortar. Not one of the handsome
wholesale bouses is left, and the tobacco
warehouses were swept away on Market
sireet.
The Louisville hotel was unroofed
and otherwise wrecked. The next build
ing west, occupied ty a cigar store ou
the first floor and by sleeping rooms on
the second aud third was razed to the
ground, not a single brick remaining in
place. Iu the destruction of this house
many lives were lost, principally persons
who occupied sleeping room there, many
of them being girls employed at the ho
tel. Eleventh street seemed to serve as a
kiud of flue for the storm, and all inter
objects in that Hue were practically re
duced to nothingness. Down this street
it carried away tlie fronts of buildings,
mostly lesidences, on ee h side, leaving
in many instances the furniture and oth
er contents unmolested.
Jefl'erson and Market streets are 111 ul
most as bad condition as Main. Hun
dreds of wagons are busy carting away
soiled and bokeu furniture from the
Shattered houses.
The work of rescuing the mangled
dead goes bravely on. A hundred anx
ious men are working as they never
worked before for the bodies of freinds
and relatives that he buried iu the mas8
of bricks aud mortar that covers the
site where esterdtiy stood Falls City
hall. Cries ot n.en, women and children
are heard on every side, aud a surging
crowd ot lO.tK.O people blocks the streets
for squares. It is a sight to strike an
guish to the soul. The pen is powerless
to express the awful scenes that each
succeediug minute roll through the ghast
ly panorama. The bodies of the dead
aud wounded being dragged from be
neath the ruins all around the district,
and men, women aud children linger
about with dread anxiety lest they reoog
uize in the shapeless masses the remains
of some relative or friend.
Immediately upon the burst of the cy
clone fire bells were sounded and the po
lice were at work. Within ten minutes
a posse appeared at the Falls City hall
wreck. The walls of the adjoining house
were fisst propped; then began the work
of cutting through tho roof that covered
all. After an hour of ceaseless labor,
the first victim, Mrs. Sarah Kelly, was
unearthed. She was sitting upright,
her head bruised and one arm broken,
she said at the first quake she made a
rush for the entrance. Women were
kuocked down and trampled on. Seeing
an overwhelming jam 3t the door she re
mained behind.
The excavation then moved from the
rear to the front, where it was supposed
the greater orowd were gathered. As
soou as the roofing wasremoved, also a
mass of brick beneath, ten women lock
ed in each others' arms were drawn out.
inside of the next hour sixty men and
women were drawn out dead, but with
no wounds. It is thought that all met
death from suffocation. The gaa pipes
were broken and flooded the debris with
vapor almost as deadly as fire might
have proven. Ways were pierced into
the breast of the ruin, aud bodies drawn
out dead and dying.
At 12 o'clock the opening of a portion
of the debris of Falls City hall oaused a
draught, whereupon the smouldering
fire broke out fiercely, spread rapidly,
and forced the workers to desert the
place. As soon as the fire gained head-
I way the groans of the imprisoned people
! became so great that it was unbearable.
; The watchers grew frantic, screamed
and ran about like mad, the terrible snf
j fering which they were unable to allevi
ate driving them to despair. Several
lines of hose were soon throwing water
on the flames, but more than an hour
elapsed before the work could be pro
ceeded with. It was then carried on
with much difficulty on account of the
heat.
Saloons and other available places
were turned into hastily impoverished
morgues, where the bodies were taken as
recovered and left awaiting identifica
tion. Hundreds of the wounded were taken
to homes and hospitals. All the physi,
cians in the city are attending them.
The city is filled with a crazed mass of
people wildly seeking friends.

reports from points in Minnesota, Dako
ta aud Iowa show that a general snow

wreokiug windows and chimneys.
There was no loss of life. Advices from
Jefferson City, Mo., state that the storm

woman, name not given.
Kansas City, March 27. A a storm of
severe intensity prevailed throughout
Kansas and Southwestern Missouri to
day. It foUows a season of warm spring

tions of Western Kansas, but the fall is
not heavy. The velocity of the wind
was extraordinary for such a long con
tinued storm. At Wiohiti it blew forty
miles an hour and did considerable dam
age. At Abilene. Kan., the wind was
not so severe, but considerable damage
was done.
Milwaukee, March 27. The first bliz

Baltimore, March 26. Interstate
Commerce Commissioners Bragg and
Schoonmaker to day took the testimony
of a number of members of the corn ex
change relative to the cause of low prices
of food products. Ex-President Mullock
said freight rates had nothing to do with
low prices. The corn orop last year was
unusually large, and there had been
high ocean rates on acoouut of scarcity
of tonnage. A number of others said
the depression was due to large crops,
and that freight rates were as low as
could be maintained by the railroadB.
WYOMING'S ADMISSION.
Compulsory Education and wo
man Suffrage.
P1IINCE BISMARCK'S FARE WKLL.
Unprwented Demonstrations to His Honor.
Washington, March 26. In the house
a bill was introduced granting a pension
of $2000 a year to the widow of General
Crook. A-
The house committee on rules report
ed a resolution making the Wyoming ad
mission bill a special order for to-day,
a recess to be taken at 1:30 until 11
oclock tomorrow, and the previous ques
tion to be ordered at 1 o'clock. Adopted.
The Wyoming bill was taken up. Bak
er of New York submitted an argument
in support of the measure. Barnes of
Georgia opposed the bill because he be
lieved there were gross irregularities in
the adoption of the constitution of Wyo
ming; because he believed the territory
did not contain the population requisite,
aud because there were incorporated in
the constitution features based upon the
subject of female suffrage, autagouistic
to republican institutions.
Carey of Wyoming made a strong plea
for admission of the territory. He con
tended that its constitution was adopted
by a free and fair vote of its citizens,
and that its population was sufficient.
He defended the provision of the con
stitution extending the right of suffrage
to women. He said that President Har
rison had endeared himself to the people
of Wyoming by observing the spirit of
republican national platform respecting
the appoiutmer t of territorial residents
to territorial offices, and, with more man
hood than his predecessor, saying "No"
to Eastern office seekers. Neither polit
ical party could make a point by ob
structing the admission of Wyoning.
She had the people, she observed the
laws, and she had no factional quarrels.
Wyoming, young and enterprising,
would hasten to overtake the ol lerstates,
and help them to bear the burdens of
the government.
Dockery of Missouri opposed the bill.
It was nothing more or less than a par
tisan measure, designed to perpetuate
the power of the republican party. It,
like the Idaho bill, should be called a
bill to add three electoral votes and two
senators to the republican columu in
1892.
Oats of Alabama opposed the measure,
because it proposed to give women the
right to vote and made attendance at
schools compulsory.
Dunuell of Minnesota was inclined to
vote against the bill on account of the
woman suffrage clause.
Washington at Tennessee opposed the
Wyoming constitution on account of the
woman's suffrage clause, and held that
the people of Wyoming had violated the
provisions of the aot of arganization lim
iting the suffrage to the white male pop
ulation. Women might be sent from
Wyoming to the senate.
E. B. Taylor of Ohio Dont you think
that to put a good woman into the sen
ate might help some? Laughter.
Washington If trie gentleman him
self were in the senate I might admit his
proposition.
Kerr of Ohio thought the opponents of
the bill in bad straits when they fell
back upon the woman suffrage provision.
Kelly ot Kansas said he would not be
frightened if a woman had a seat on the
floor of the house, and perhaps it would
result in benefit.
Morey of Ohio favored the bill and ad
vocated civil and legal enfranchisement
of women in all the states of the Union.
After further debate the house took a

Last Leave of the Emperor Remarkable Dem
onstration in the Street.
Berlin, Maroh 26. A farewell audi-
encti betweeu the emperor and Bismarck
was held this morning. It lasted three
quarters of an hour.
As the prince was driving past a
bridge between Lubtcraten and Uuter
der Linten, the horses shied and one of
them became entangled in the traces.
It was necessary to stop the carriage
uutil the harness was arranged. A
orowd quickly gathered about the ex-
chancellor and ladies threw him bou
quets and kissed their hands to him.
Bismarck was so greatly affected that he
shed tears. He shook hands with a
number of those about his carriage and
his voice faltered as he thanked the peo
ple for their demonstrations of affection,
The accident was of a trifling nature,
and as soon as the harness was arranged
the prince resnmed his drive amid
cheers.
Bismarck's passage through the street
was a veritable triumphal procession.
The people at times wanted to unhar
ness the horses and drag the carriage
themselves.
In the lower house of the Prussian
diet to-day Caprivi read the emperor's
acceptance of Herbert Bismarck's resig
nation of the office of imperial - foreign
minister, aud the appointment of him
self (Caprivi) to succeed him.
Von Alvensleven has deolined the of
fice of special secretary for foreign af
fairs. The letters between the pope and Em
peror William on the labor conference
are published. The emperor says that
Bishop Kopp, he kuows, is thoroughly
inspired with the pope's idea, and will
materially contribute as delegate to the
sucoess of the work. The pope's reply
congratulates the emperor upon taking
the field for a resolute effort in a worthy
cause. He appreciates the emperor's
acknowledgment of the great efficacy of
religion and the church in the solution
of sorial questions, and warmly wishes

The Charges are Unfounded.
Independence, March 26. The board
directors of the State Mormal School
after fully investigating the charges of
scandal involving D. F. Stanley, the
president of the school, and a lady teach
er, have found the charges to be wholly
untrue. The charges were preferred by
two students, who offered to keep still
for J300eacb, which being refused, they
circulated tha story. The students have
been expelled from the school. That
harmony might be restored, the presi
dent resigned.
At Monmouth last night two strsw
figures were hung in effigy, representing
the actors in circulating the scandal.
IN THE SENATE.
Ex-Cenfederates Fisht Anti-Trnst Bill as In
vading State's Right.
From the Portland Oregonian.
Washington, March 26. In the sen
ate, after the transaction of business of
minor importance the auti-trust bill was
taken up and various formal amend
ments made. Spooner offered an amend
ment giving the courts authority to issue
writs of injunction prohibiting combina
tions from proceeding any further in
business except to wind up their affairs
The legal bearing and effect of the
amendment, as well as the bill generally,
were discussed by Spooner, Gray, Hoar
Stewart, Vest, Reagan and Eustis.
After some remarks in reply to some
thing said by Regan yesterday, Vest
said he would not say another word
about the constitution. He was pre
pared to join the procession. He would
like the senator from Ohio (Sherman" to
say whether he considered the clause in
corporated in the bill by Ingalls' amend
ment, imposing a tax on dealings in op
tions, constitutional or not. He charac
terized the bill as a remarkable act of
legislative legerdemain.
Eustis said he regarded the bill as the
grossest usurpation of the state's rights
ever attempted in the history of the gov
ernment. IngaUs said the amendment was not
intended to interfere with bargains, pur
chases, sales or exchange of any pro
ducts of which parties might be possess
ed or be producers, of or which they in
tended actually to deliver. It was di
rected against the gigantic modern in
vention known as dealing in futures.
His amendment has been met at eyery
stage of the proceedings by the interpo
sition of some question of order, on some
question of etiquette, or some question of
constitutionality, The people of the
United States have a reasonable degree
of respect for the constitution, but they
are not afraid of it. The constitution
was a growth and not a manufacture,
and the constitution of 1890, by reason
of the operation of the will of the people
who made it, was a vastly different in
strument from the constitution of 1789.
Its authors would not know it. They
bad made it for a specific purpose, not
to enable country lawyers to devise defi
nitions or to put obstacles and barriers
to the will of the people, but the consti
tution was perpetually invoked by nar
row and rigid and illiberal construc
tionists as an insuperable barrier against
every effort to benefit the condition of
the peop'e.
The senators supporting the bill had
been taunted with bad faith, with false
chivalry, with fighting a sham battle, be
cause they attempted to carry into effect
provisions which were entirely within
the limits and purview of the constitu
tion. These gentlemen, Eustis George
and Vest, had spent considerable time in
eudeavoring to destroy that constitution
they now plead on every occasion,
There has been no step in national pro
gress iu the last thirty years against
which these senators have not risen and
declared it against the constitution. He
(Ingalls) recollected that there was once
a great demonstration to prove that
there was no power in the constitution
to coerce a state which saw fit to go out
of the union, yet the people had found
it. There had been similar protests
against the abolition of slavery, the re
construction laws, etc. Recently when
a resolution was offered to inquire into t
violation of the constu,tion it was declar
ed that the government had the right to
go anywhere else in the world where the
rights of American citizens were violat
ed, but bad no power to take oare of the
rights of American citizens assailed in
Mississippi. Ha commended to those
cpriQtruera of the constitution the con
templation of the results of their criti
cisms during the last thirty years.
Vest said that if the senators, repre
senting the Southern sttea were to be
under the proscription announced by the
senator from Kansas they might as well
be out of the Union. He was under ob
ligation to obey the eonstitution, but
not to take the construction put npon it
Clychoski, who recently failed iu
HEPPNER, OREGON
by Ingalls. He moved an amendment
of Ingalls' amendment, making the li
cense 810,000, instead of $1800.
Eustis also replied to IngaU's remarks
brieflly and argued against the amend
ment. If the senator Ingalls sought to
correct the morals of the people, he
Eustis asked him to leave out Louisi
ana. Ingalls We want to take hold of your
lottery by-and-by.
Vest's amendment was then adopted,
as were also the following; By Butler,
extending the provisions of the bills to
stocks and bonds; by Eustis, extending
the powers to cotton prints, steel rails,
boots and shoes, lead and lumber; by
Blair, including woolen goods and whis
key, aud all kinds of intoxicating drinks.
The committee of the whole then rose
and reported the bill, and after an execu
tive session the senate adjourned.
Confirmations: Pay Director Thomas
H. Tooker, to be chief of the bureau of

general of the navy.
American Flour vs. Wheat.
All the wheat growers are inter
ested in the present status of the
promise of the future and will read
with interest the critical review of
the trade which is from the Lon
don Agricultural Gazette. It
say:
The millers of London have for
their grists the wheat of the whole
world, and they necessarily pos
sess machinery which is capable
of taking out all the flour there
may be present in wheats of all
sizes, colors, and natures, and yet
they are not happy, becanse up to
a certain point (that of London
"household" flour) Uucle Sam can
beat them to value for money.
Not only so, but the American mil
lers can beat us both above and
below that point; in fact, can beat
the whole world in selling fiour, as
they are doing, only that the Amer
ican people eat the best and sell
the rest, whereas some other ex
porting countries, Austria Hun
gary for example, do just the oth
er thing. The United States was
for years our chief supply of wheat
butllussia of late has occupied
that position, and may do so for
years to come. India, too, and
other Minor sources of supply are,
by tne absentation of America en
abled and encouraged to send us
more wheat; because they are bet
ter able to send wheat at low rates
than they are to send flour at any
price. America, however, has
probably had her day as a wheat
exporting country it has come
sooner, even, than many of the
most foreboding among us feared
and commenced the second stage
of their flour-exporting era, which
may considerably alter the milling
industry as it now exists in Europe.
During the first stage the wind
mills of old England fell into, des
uetude, and what will happen be
fore the close of tho season remains
to be seen. So far as London is
concerned, American red wheat is
now seldom seen on the stands at
Mark Lane, the quantities received
being nearly all in parcels pur
chased by the town millers, and
sent direct to their mills; but
American flour choaks waterside
worehouses and overflows into
many country channels, not only
in Loudon, but Liverpool, while
Glasgow is the great market for it
in the north. Pacific coast flour is
not salable in London; the cargoes
generally find their way to the
northwestern part of England, or
to Ireland.
Cora Cheaper Fuel than Coal ia Kansas.
"Some people seem to be horri
fied when they hear of corn being
used for fuel," said Frank C. Walk
er, of Manhattan, Kan., who was at
the Tremont house. "Now, if corn
is cheaper than coal, what possible
objection can there be to using it
for fuel? A Kansas farmer can
get 13 cents for a bushel of corn.
Let us see, that is $3.70 cents for a
ton. To get that, he may have to
haul his corn six or eight miles to
market If he buys coal, he will
pay from $4 to $5 per ton, and
haul it the six or eight miles back
home. The matter simply comes
down to the question of how he
can get, the most effective fuel for
a dollar. You could hardly ex
pect a farmer to pay a bonus in
order that he might burn coal, if
he could get the heat some other
way. Corn at S3. 70 per ton is
cheaper fuel than coal at $3 a ton,
and, besides, it has in its favor the
fact that the farmer has the corn
a.t home. There is no more reason
for an objection to burning corn
than there is to burning wood."
