Ab the more full reports come in from tne storm in Sumner and Harper counties, Kan sas, the first reports, though thought to have been exaggerated by some, are confirmed and added to. The storm passed through the northern part of Harpar county at about 7:30 p. m., "while guick destruction encompassed Wellington just after 9 p. m. In Harner county the storm is described as a straight blow, six miles wide, with severe hail along the outside. It swept about thirty farm buildingi between Attica and Harper, and at Harper the rum is said to be fearful. A hundred or so of houses were blown down or more or lerB damaged and many families are left destitute and without shelter. The dead in Harper county, so far as re ported, are: William Shanahan, farmer; Mrs. Thomas Gallaher and her son, at the farm west of Harper: Mrs. E. ilaloy, fatally hurt and her child killed, and a Mrs. Harri son; these all before Harper was reached. The injured are P. A. Beatty, wife and daughter, S. H. Challis and wife, James Dickerson, S. E. Cole, Mr. Corley, Peter Gerard, a boy, Mrs. C. A. Frey, two of the name of Lebrecht, Mrs. Florence Savers, Mrs. Felrath, Gottleib Handraft, M. M. Munger's family, he was away from home, J. A. Sei bert ana wife. The report says that the village of Chrystal Springs is swept away; that Attica was Blightly injured, but that other towns in the county were not injured. In Harper the Catholic church and German church are both clear down. The Baptist and Christian churches are greatly injured. The M. E. church is safe. The Mason block on the corner, in which the Harper Mercantile company was located, was burned. The Queen City block and the Opera house block are almost wor.hless. Of the eleven houses north of the Santa Fo track eight are crushed to the floors and the contents arc total losses. The Murphy's are greatly damaged. The store is a wreck and the three residences more or less a total loss. The stand pipe stands intact, but a small building beside it is completely crushed and the contents are all smashed. In the Odd Fellows' cemeterry, one mile northeast, over one-third of tho monuments arc prostrated, toppled to tho northwest. Tho north fence is down and nearly all the head stones are leaniog. A four-wheeled vehicle has landed among tho graves. The grand stand, box fetalis, and buildings at the fair grounds, one mile south, are lev eled to tho ground, save the east end of the agricultural hall. At Wellington the body of James Mayer, a piano tuner of Kansas City, was taken from the ruins of the Phillips house, with his open bible in his hand. Other bodies taken from the Phillips house include Hart Upson, the barber, and Mr. Has'ie, who was being shaved at the time; Thomas Cornwell, of Belle Plaine; Jesse Bower, barber; Ed Forsythe; Ed Jones, waiter. Mrs. Sasher and her sister, Miss Katy Strahn, were burned to death in tho Robin son block. Frank Campbell was among the killed at the Phillips house. Henry Adamson, laborer, was pierced in the back by a fragment of plate glass and killed. Among tho wounded, many of them sup posed to be fatal, are : James Weaver, Ida Jones, Charles Adamson, Mrs. Captain Mahan, Mrs. T. J. Hanna, Mrs. Murphy, Charles Steiner, Maggie King, Ed, Sylva and Walter Forsythe, child of ex-Sheriff Thrall, Mrs. Robert Millard, James Lawrence, Win. French, Mr. Summons, Matty Hodges, Guy Colby, Dick Weaver, Carry Mitchell, E. J. Forsythe, with forty or fifty more whose in juries are less serious. Among buildings destroyed are the Luther an church, the old court house, the Presby terian church ; the Spicknall block, a row of six brick buildings, in which were the offices of the Monitor-Press and the Voice; the Standard block of six two-story bricks, in which were tho Daily Mail and Standard newspapers, and the postoffice ; the foundry and stove works, tho brick block inwhich was the Alliance Mercantile Exchange, and which burned; the Episcopal church, the new and beautiful First ward school house. The list of buildings is stated in the report to be only a partial list, comprising the most important, with no mention of the many residences destroyed. Wellington. Wellington's cyclone visita tion has made it for the time the chief object of interest for all southern Kansas. No such crowds have visited this city before as those which have been pouring in on every rail road and highway. On all its four lines cen tering here, the Santa Fo has been running excursions from as far north as Hutchinson, south from Arkansas City ana wost from Medicine Lodge, while tho Rock Islana has been equally industrious" in forwarding sight seers to the stricken city. Division Passen ger Agent MurJock, of the Santa Fe, esti mated the crowd in town at 15,003. Tho Presbyterian and Lutheran churches were well protected by cyclone policies and will be rebuilt at once. The $20,000 school houso destroyed will, in like manner, be in part restored by tho insurance companies. Of tornado insurance on residence and busi ness property, there was so little as to be hardly worth mentioning. The few seconds' work of that whirling cloud wiped out a quar of a million dollars' worth of property that stands a dead and absolute loss to the un lucky owners. Freight cars were taken from tho track and carried a distance of 203 yards without being harmed. A horso was carried to the top of a two story houso and deposited there, while a baby was taken from its cradle and carried twenty yards and deposited on tho grass so gently that it did not receive the slightest injury. Whilo in Harper county the storm was a 'wide one, at Wellington its center was hardly wider than two city blocks ; but this did not compriso tho entire field of its destructive 'operations. An arm seemed to swing out from the main storm to the south, and take in the reverse a whole line of buildings run Ining south on Washington avenue, blowing in the front and throwing down the rear walls and demolishing tho roofs, while leav 4ng the entire row standing. Around on Harvey avenue the handsome Standard block, standing at right angles with the storm's general course, was served in the same capricious fashion, leaving the building with front stovo in and rear walls gone, up held mostly by their party walls. Wichita. A special to tho Eagle says a tornado passed about two miles north of Medicine Lodge. The brick house of S. H. Field, a farmer, was demolished. The report of a tornado at Argonia is un true. A nail storm did some damage to the windows. Oklahoma Appointments. Wasbtsgton, D. C, May 31. It was ad mitted, rather reluctantly, at the attorney general's office, that Marshal James Grimes, of Oklahoma, had been requested to resign. It was very difficult to get any reliable in formation concerning the matter, so closely were the details and, in fact, everything about it guarded. Some days ago Attorney Gen eral Miller wrote to Governor Seay request ing him to name a man to succeed. Grimes. A Rather Quiet Sunday. Rochester, N. T. The presence in this city of the president of the United States causes intense though suppressed excitement and enthusiasm. . The president attended the Presbyterisji church in the forenoon, only a few blocks from the- hotel, and walked. Thousands of curious people lined the way, but, in respect for the day, were quiet. Later he essayed to take a walk, but the crowds were bo great it -was soon given up. Later better luck was had in taking a drive. In the evening the president attended a memorial service at the Central Presbyterian church. FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS The 6enate commenced the consideration of the bill to provide for the punishment of viola tions of tho treaty rights of aliens : the measure found necessary to Rive the federal government jurisdiction in euch cases as the fcew Orleans massacre of Italians. In the house a second attempt was made to get op the Sherman statue bill: bat Kilgore,of Texas, was watchful, and objected to pnnK unanimous consent for its consideration. It will again be tried to determine whether there can be enough favoring the bill to suspend the rules and take it up. , , . . . In the senate a bill intended to abolish post traderehips in the army, which has the approval of the war department and General Schofield, was reported favorably from the military affairs committee by Senator Proctor. The loilovnng appointments were receiyeu from the president by tho senate: Admiral Stephen B. Luce, U. S. N. (letired), to be com missioner general, and Prof. G. Brown Goode as sistant to the Smithsonian institute ; and Prof. James'C. Welling, president of Columbian uni versity, to be assistant commissioner, to repre sent the United States at the Columbian Histor ical exposition to be held in Madrid. Spain, in commemoration of the four hundredth anniver sary of the discovery of America. Senator Morgan spoke on the bill to provide for punishment of violations of treaty rights of aliens. He said Secretary Blaine had been com pelled facting exactly right) to use the secret service fund to pay $25,000 to families of the men assassinated m the prison at Now Orleans. The government of tho Lnitcd States was in a pitia fe situation when the secretary of state was compelled to resort to the secret service fund to keen peace with foieign governments. At the close of his argument Senator Morgan moved, with tho sssent of the committee on for eign relations, that the bill should go over until next December. The matter went over without action. The house adopted more amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill, including one offered by Holman, providing that the positions of all persons employed in field work or in the office whose services can be discontinued shall hft vnrAtAfi- Dockory, of Missouri, offered a resolution di recting the committee on judiciary to inquire whether, under the specie resumption act, any bonds wero sold for redemption purposes. Re ferred to the committee on rules. Representative Honk, of Ohio, offered an amendment to tho appropriation for a govern ment exhibit at Chicago, to add $100,000 to pay the expense of collecting, preparing and pub lishing facts and statistics pertaining to the in austrial advanco of United States citizens of African descent from January. 1863, to January, 1893, to constitute a part of the government ex hibit. Henderson, of Iowa, said tliat the colored peo plo of this country numbered about one-eighth of the entire population, and yet the m evidence taken by a special committee at Chicago dis closed tho wonderful and amazing fact that neither the president of the United States (he said it with mortification and shame), nor the governor of a single state, nor the government commission, nor local corporation, nor the woman's commission, not one of these had given representation to those 8,000,000 of people. Holman mado an appeal of order against Honk's amendment, which was sustained by the chair. Johnson, of Indiana, Tepliod to Henderson in defense of tho president in the matter of ap pointing colored men. The president had been foremost in acts favoring colored citizens. "It ought not to bo forgotten," he said, "that the president had stood in favor of a juBt measure of national relief, whereby tho colored people of the south vould have a right to cast their voto3 and have them counted." There was a scene of great confusion in the ball : dozens of members were on their feet, rais ing their voices and crowding into the aisles, while Johnson proceeded in vehement language to denounce the treatment of the negro by the democratic party of ths i-outhcrn states, and as ho was as venemently contradicted by a number of members from the south, the house became a perfect bedlam, tho chair being utterly unablo to secure a semblance ol order. Dockery offered an amendment reducing the salary of tho director general of the World's Col umhian commission to $3,000. and of the secre tary to SJ.U00. Agreed to. Propositions were agreed to as Amendments to a pending question to the effect that no money should bo paid until it was made certain that tho exposition should bo closed on Sunday and that no liquors should be sold on the grounds; but the committee of the whole atose before dispos ing of the sending question. By skillful work the free silver senators se cured position as unfinished business for tho Stewart free silver bill, and it will take a vote to Jump it and pass it by when reached -on the cal endar. The motion which gavo this position to tho bill wascarriod jcas2S, nays 20. Poffer voted ayo; Hill did not vote, though present. In his speech en the subject Senator Teller contradicted the statement quoted by Sherman to tho effect that if silver went up to $1.29 psr ounce the pi oduct of silver in this country would he quintuplrd. Tho United States delegates to tho international bimetallic conference would ho met with that statement at tho first meeting of the confeience. What 6ilvormen complained of was that the action of 1673. in tho demoneti zation of silver, had appreciated gold at least 40 per cent. It had reduced the prico of agri cultural products and tho value of farm houses and lands ; and it had reducsd the wages of the people of tho country. When tho world's fair appropriation was again reached in the houso tho amendments con cerning Sunday opening and liquor selling wero defeated and a substitute adopted providing that th government exhibit shall not be open to tho public on Sunday. The item of the sundry civil bill for tho en forcement of the Chinese exclusion act. as left by tho houso, gives $560,000 for that purpose. The senate in executive session took action on a case of long standing, being the claim of William Web-ter against tho British govern ment for compensation lor land acquired by him from native chiefs of New Zealand, and afterwards seized bv the British government, by adopting a resolution declaring that tho senate considers that the claim is founded in justice and deserve tho support of the United States, and requesting tho president to submit it to ar bitration. Debato on the silver bill was opened in the senate by Sherman, Stjewart and Teller, and then went over until Tuesday to accommodate Sherman, who vas having information com piled at tho ti easury, and Pcffer, who desired to speak on the bill. Mr. Hatch was baten by a tie vote in the house in his motion to consider his anti-option bill. However, whenever the house proceeds to tho consideration of revenue hills, this bill will first be taken up. as it holds fin-t position on the calendar among that class of bills. The house passed several bills, among them the bill to classify and prescribe the salaries of railway postal clerks, and the senate bill re lating to the Topeka dam on the Kansas river. la. further consideration of the sundry civil bill an amendment was ag' ccd to limiting the number of copies of public documents which may bj printed by the heaJs of bureaus, without express authority of congross, tho department of agriculture being expressly excepted from this limitation. , This concluded the work of tho committee of tho whole house on the sundry civil appiopiia tion bill. Tho house then commenced consideration of tho postoffice appropriation bill. Mr. Stevens, of Massachusetts, introduced a bill to place iron ore and Ecrap iron on the free list and to reduce the duties on manufactures of iron and other metals. A bill fixing the rate of postage on semi-weekly and tri-weekly publications mailed at certain free delivery offices, was authorized to be favor ably reported by the house committee on post offices. It provide that the ra'.e of postage on newspaper?, excepting weeklies' and periodicals, not exceeding two ouncs in weight, when de posited for free delivery by carrier, shall be uni form at 1 cent each. Periodicals weighing more than two ounces shall be subject when delivered by earner to a postage of 2 cents each. In cities of less than 20,000 population, having free deliv ery oHlces. semi-weekly and tri-weekly publica tions mav be delivered by carrier upon payment br the publisher of the rxmnd rate postage as provided for weekly publications at carriers offices. The agricultural appropriation bill was com pleted by the house committee on agriculture and will be reported to tho house. It appropri ates $5,500 more than the bill of last year. One million dollars is aporopriatcd to carry out the provisions of the meat inspection law, which is a half million dollars in excess of the appropria tion of the current year for this purpose.
