The building contractor* of that

proceeding with much energy.
The Commercial lixehange an
nounced last night that the tuili
torium to be used for the Kepitblican
national convention ha* been repaired
and now show* not the slightest effect
of t he atorm.
Although thouKitnda of men have
been at work night and day clearing
away the wreckage in the path of the
tornado, they havr scarcely made a
perceptible impression toward reator
ing tlie chaotic confusion to anything
like order. Passageways have been
made through some of the principal
thoroughfares, it Is true, hut for the
most part the atreets are still choked
with the battered remains of homes
and factories, hospitals and churches.
The path of the storm is fully a
mile and a half wide It starts away
out in the suburbs of the city, where
beautiful homes are located. Taking
a zig-zag course, it extends down
• liruugh where the densely populated
tenement houses are located, fully six
miles, and crosses the river.
At the extreme limits of the city to
the west is a quarter known as Tower
drove park. It is populated by peo
ple of wealth, and the houses are
palatial, with beautiful ground*, etc.
To the southeast of this is another
region of wealth. The atorm moved
ita way through them both. Magnifi
cent residences in both place* were
wiped off the face of the earth in
some canes, while in others roof* were
carried away, tree* torn from their
roots and all the picture*que beauty
destroyed.
The number of families left home
less by the duva*tatiou along the path
of the Htorm will reach up into the
thousand*. In many instance* these
unfortunate* have lost all their
worldly possessions Matty will for

i to estimate, hut 9’,*,0<>0.000 to $9.<>00,000
are conservative figures.
Late figures rather tend to reduce [
the estimates of the number killed.
I and the probabilities are that it will
i not run much over 15(1.
The feature of the storm was the
large number of hnraes killed. On all
shies could be seen the mangled bod
ies of those animals. The police de
partment was busy all day removing
the carcasses, and none too soon, fur
the warm weather of the past two .
days had already started decomposi
tion.
The rallrosil yards are generally
being cleared of debris, rendering the
moving of trsins once more possible,
but it wriil be weeks before anything

4«o freight cars were overturned anil

and as many of these were loaded
with merchandise the work of clear

slow.

Washihotox May 30. —As has bee
Confidently expected the president
sent to the house to-day u vigorous
message vetoing tlie rivers and har
bors appropriation bill.The full text
of the message is as follow#.
••There are 417 items of appropria
tion contained in thl# bill, and every
part of the country is represented in
the distribution of its favors, it
directly appropriate* or provide* for
the immediate expenditure of nearly
fil.OOO.OOU for river and harbor work.
This sum is In addition to appropria
tions contained in another bill for
similar purposes, amounting to a little
more than §3,000,000, which lias
already been favorably considered at
the present session of long re**.' The
result is that the contemplated imme
diate expenditure* for the objects
mentioned amount to about •I7,0o<i,ou<j.
“A more startling feature of this
kill I* iu aiitnorization or contract
for river and harbor work amounting
to more than $68,000,000. Though the
payment of these contracts are, in
most cases, so distributed that they
lire to he met by future appropria
tions, more than $11,000,000 on their
account is included in the direct ap
propriation* above mentioned.
MANY Mil.!.ION* IMVOI.VKO.
“Of the remeiodar>nearly $.0,000,000
wilt fall due during the fiscal year
ending June 30, ISOS, and amount*
somewhat less iu the years immedi
ately succeeding. A few contracts of
a like character,authorized under pre
vious statutes, are still outstanding,
and to meet payments on these m ire
tliu.fi $,,000,000 must be appropriated
iu the immediate future. If, there
fore, this hill becomes a law, thu obli
gation* which will he Imposed on the
government, together with the appro
priations made for immediate expend
iture ou account of rivers unii har
bors, will amount to about 9tM,000,
OOO.
“Nor I* tbit all The bill directa
numeroua surveys and examinations,
which contemplate new work and
further contracts, and which portend
largely increased expenditures and
obligation*. There is no ground to
hope that in the face of persistent and
growing demands the aggregate of
appropriations for the smaller schemes
not covered by contracts will he re
duced or even remain stationary, for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1*1(8,
such appropriations, together with
the installments on contracts which
will tie due in that year, can hardly
be lea* than $30,000,000, arid it may
reasonably be apprehended that the
prevalent tendency toward* increased
expenditure* of tbi* sort and the con
cealment which postponed pay inents
afford for extravagance will increase
the burden* chargeable to this account
in succeeding years.
TilK I'MKSIIIICNT'* POTT.
“In view of the obligation imposed
upon me by the constitution it Heems
to me quite clear that 1 only dis
charge a duty to our people when 1
interpose my disapproval of the legis
lation proposed. 1 learn from official
sources that there are appropriations
cotitallied in the hill to pay lor work
which private parties have actually
agreed with the government to do in
consideration of their occupancy of
public properly. 1 am convinced that
the hill now under consideration will
open the way to insidious and increas
ing abuses, and is itself so extravagant
a* to be especially uusuiled to these
times of depressed business aud result
ing disappointment in government
revenue.
“This consideration is emphasized
by the prospect that tiie public treas
ury will be confronted with other ap
propriations made ut the present ses
sion of Congress a in mint ing to more

Lovdojv, May 2S.—Sir Edwin Arnold,
in hi* dispatch to the London Daily
Telegraph in regard to Hie coronation
of the czar, rays: "The edifice itself
(the Catbeilral of the Assumption) is
minute, but its inner glories and
sanctuaries are such tiial you feel as
if you were standing at the heart of
some jeweled cavern of dreamland.
To feel, however, as the devout Kits*
elan feels in this astonishing place,
yon must know something of the
overwhelming associations clustering
around It.
"The most impressive moment was
when all, Including the metropolitan,
were prostrate on their knees in
prayer for the protection and guid
ance of the czar, lie alone remained
standing—a lonely figure in the
thronged cathedral—a lonely figure
in his empire. For at this intense
moment ail the empire is practically
on its knees for him before the throne
of heaven. One can hardly hear to
look upon his face at this prodigious
instant, when a hundred million
hearts concentrate their thoughts and
supplications upon that single head.
Imperial lofty, confident, perhaps he
la; but how isolated, how solitary,
how alone!
"Flow commences the striking feat
ure of the ceremony, which tills the
mind with Inexpressible sympathy
and almost with compassion the
melting of loyalty Into the family
passion characteristic of the H.av.
With an exquisite softness of voice
and gesture, the emperor calls to him
his empress A passing tremor seem*
to shake the fair form which arose in
obedience to the summons, but, with
a'l dignity and grace, she fulls upon
her knees before her august lord a
eight as touching as it is majestic, her
long hair loose upon her while neck,
her splendid garment* trailing in a
sheeny glory; her ungloved hands
meekly clasped—every inch a queen, 1
tnougn not yei crowned.
|)r. Dillon of the Daily Telegraph
describe* the ilghtirigof the Kremlin
a* follows: "At h o'clock in thu even
ing the emperor appeared on 'lie bal
cony of the palace.wreathed in smiles,
hi* figure adorned in medals and
rilibons He advanced with a grace
ful bow and offered to the czarina a
curious bouquet Dlrictly the czar
inas hand touched the nosegay, every
flower end bud took fire and at. the
seme moment the whole of the Krem
lin hurst Into flame. The thunder of
10,000 voice* rein the sky*, followed
by snatches of song and shrieka of
delight av the various figures in fire
came Into sight, mingled with howls
of pain ea some unfortunate person
wae cruahed and disabled by tiie care
less crowd.”
