storm visited Springfield township last
night, doing considerable damage. Sev
eral farm-houses and outbuildings were
demolished, aud crops ruined. Two or
three people were slightly injured.
Later reports show that the storm
was most severe about two miles north

minutes it leveled everything in its
track, over six miles of farm lands, for
a width of thirty rods. It demolished
dozens of buildings, killed one man, fa
tally injured a man and woman, and se
riously hurt others. Old trees were cut
down like corn stalks. The storm first
struck tbe farm of James Bartman.
From there it went to three other farms
in a direct line, tearing up everything in
its path. Jhe occupants escaped by
seeking refuge in the cellars. Then, af
ter cuttiog a swath through nearly a
mile of timber land, the tornado struck
the farm of Christian Wall tearing the
barn to pieces and tipping a two-story
buildiug over on its side. Matthew
Gromley's barn was carried several rods
and dashed to splinters. Mr. Gromley
was fatally injured. The storm theu
visited the farm of Huijh Franks, where
the destruction was complete, houses
aud out buildings being shattered to
fragments. Franks was killed and his
wife was fatally wounded.
After tuis tne tornado evidently rose
high in the air. aud. jumping over the
sqnthern part of the city, dropped down
on Springfield townHhip with the result
mentioned above. From there the
storm trailed along into Starke county.

THE ANTI-OPTION BILL.
What the Dealers Say They Talk of Iliwwter
if Adopted.
From the Portland Oregonian.
Washington, April 11. The house
committee on agriculture to-day heard
arguments against the Butterwortb
anti-option bill. Murray Nelson, of tbe
Chicago board of trade, said that organi
zation aud all the exchanges in the
country were in sympathy with the first
seotion of the bill, to abolish trading in
puts and calls and bucket-shop dealings
but to enforoe the provisions against
traders for future delivery would force
out "t business the small dealers and
concentrate trade in the bands of large
capitalists, who were able to purchase
crops and hold tbem for a raise. To
stop sales for future delivery would be
to interrupt and disarrange the entire
financial system ot the country. The
bankers of the country moved the crops
and depended upon tbe transaction of
small dealers in the country towns for
the basis of their transactions.
The bill would place the farmer at the
meroy of the large capitalist, who would
buy cash grain at such a price that he
could hold it until Gabriel blew his horn
without sustaining loss. Geo. C. Martin,
of the New York produce exchange,
maintained that the farmer never before
received so great a per cent, of tbe val
ue or his crops as now. In his opinion,
the low prices prevalent are beoause of
the recent series of large crops, from
which there has been accumulated in
store 2UO,000,000 bushels of corn, more
than ever before in the history of the
country. The merchant has suffered
losses along with the farmer. In lovo
the commission on a bushel of corn
amounted to 2 cents, while now the
entire crop is marketed on a commission
of i per oent. If the bill passed, three-
quarters of the export trade of the coun
try would be presonbed.
O. Bloss, of the New York cottou ex
change, read an argument against the
bill, prepared by a committee of that ex
change, with a protest against the bill
signed by the leading bankers of New
York, in which they state that passage
of the bill would work great damage to
legitimate trade, and that the banks find
their risks on advances under the present
system less than under the old engage
ment. AGRICULTURAL DEPAKTMENT.
Th
New Jersey Legislature on the Course--
memorial to Congress.
Trenton, N. J., April 9. The joint
committee of the legislature, to remedy
the present depression in agriculture in
New Jersey, have agreed on a memorial
to congress. It asserts that the demon
etization of silver is one of tbe causes of
the depression. It also inveighs against
the opening up of further public " lands
to be given away to foreign syndicates
and immigrants when there are plenty
of farms in the East to be cultivated.
The memorial opposes irrigation by the
government tor the purpose of helping
the Western farmers, and asks congress
to turn its attention for awhile
to the farms in the East.
Trusts are condemned. The evils of
adulterated food and its dangerous com
petition with honest farm products are
set forth.

of slavery in 188H; separation of the
church from state; freedom of the press;
liberty of worship; secularization of pub

tbe adoption of the American constitu

they have nominated a number of well

Secretary Noble Deals Sharply With
Land
Grabbers aud Their Accessories.
Portland Oregonian.
Washington, Aprii 9. Senator Noble
to-day rendered an opinion on the re
port ef the board appointed by Com
missioner Graff, of the general laud of-
uce, to examine into tne tacts and cir
cumstances concerning the issue in No
vember, 1889, to Thomas Reed of a pat
ent to 112 acres of land said to contain
valuable mineral deposits, iu the Du
luth, .Minn., land district. The investi
gation was based upon the fact that at
the time the patent was issued the ques-
of the title to the land was pending be
fore the department. After reviewing
ihe facts presented by the board, the
seoretary severely comdemns the action
of the parties, who, to anticipate, it is
intimated, the adverse action of the de
partment, procured a reuord of the pat
ent at 3:15 o'olock in the afternoon of
the day on which the commissioner had
at 3 o'clock telegraphed for its return to

of the United States; that the recorder
of the general land office, James M.
Townseud, in the conduct of his business
violated the strict rules that should have
controlled him; that the attorneys in. the
case, Harrison, Herring & Seymour, who
were acting for Hartman and Mallet,
Reed's grantees, when they knew the
patent was illegally issued, rendered it
proper and necessary that their profes
sional conduct be inquired into under
the rules of tbe department, which enti
tle them to further hearing on due no
tice. The secretary states tbat the Ger-
m'ania Iron Company. Reed Mallet,
Hartman and others in interest can
unite in the release of all their rignts
and title under the patent and 11 this is
done the parties caDnot be prejudiced
in any further proceedings upon cases
now before the secretary. He further
aavs that there is no doubt but that tbe
patent must and will be cancelled, am
therefore that tbe patent be impoundad
bv the commissioner's offioe as the prop
erty of the United States, and for such
further order as to its disposition as the
secretary may direct upon further con
sideration of this business.
THE VIENNA HUNGER RIOTS.
Forty Thonsund Troops at Hand, but the Min
istry Dared Not Use Them.
London, April 10. The utter inability
of the Vienna police to cope with the
rioters has called forth a general howl
if indignation from the respectable class
es, whose helpless situation against
tbe fury of tbe mob is thus revealed.
Count Von Taafe, president of the min
isterial council and minister of the in
terior, also comes in for a liberal share
of public execration and ceusure for not
calling out the military and promptly
suppressing the disorder. This neglect
is made more conspicious by the fact that
there are 40,000 troops in the city whose
services could have been made available
within half an hour. The disturbance
has now subsided, but there are grave
fears of a renewal of the rioting on May
1, when a general holiday among work
ingmen will be observed and meetings
will be held to agitate the question of
shorter hours and more pay.
A pnblio testimonial to the offioers and

heroic conduct of the ship's company in

Calliope is now at Portsmouth, and is
visited by hundreds of curious people
daily.

Valencia A Day of Tumult.
Madrid, April 10. The arrival of the
Carlist leader, Marquis Erralbo, at Val
encia to-day, was made the occasion of
an anti-Carlist demonstration. Thou

Many persons have been injured and

The Pan-American Conference Agrees Upon an
Arbitration Plan.
Washington, April 8. The Pan
American conference is drawing to a
c ose the committe on general welfare
has agreed upon a plan nf arbitration
for the settlement of difficulties between
American nations, which will be report
ed to the conference to-morrow without
any doubt. The plan is that whenever
any difference arises between two or
more American republics it shall be re
ferred to the government of some of the
other republics for settlement without
an appeal to arms. In case tbe parties
at issue cannot agree upon a single ar
bitrator, each is allowed to name one,
and those named are to select an um
pire. This, in the minds of the president
and Mr. Blaine, is the most important
subject to be considered by tbe oonfer -ence,
as it is likely to put a stop to the
wars that have prevailed so frequently
between the South American nations,
retarding the growth nnd prosperity of
all.
