There is said to be a secret organiza
tion at work to promote the secession
of Manitoba from the Dominion of Can
ada.
Outer Edes, the originator of the
Tost industry of machine riret making
in this country, died at Plymouth, Mass.,
recently at the agn of sixty-nine years.
AncrnusHor Feeeax was tendered a
reception at Chicago by the Catholic
clergy and teachers. One of the features
of the occasion was tho presentation of
costly vestments.
Is the celebration of tho release of
Aquero at Key West, Fix, five thousand
Cubans marched, in a torchlight pro
cession. The Federal, State and Mu
nicipal officers wore in line.
It is the general opinion among
English officials at Cairo that the Egyp
tian army is not only useless, but
dangerous, and ought to be disbanded.
General Wood faintly expresses confi
dence in. the Egyptians.
Coxnnzssu.vx Hewitt, of New York,
advocates the placing of imported raw
material on the free list as the natural
beginning of tariff revision." He
thinks this course would bo acceptable
to manufacturers and consumers.
As extra cession of the California
Legislature will" be called to take actioL
upon the matter of unpaid taxes from
the Central Pacific Railroad for the
years 18S0. 1681 and 1&S2, which, with
interest and penalties, amounts to $1,-07-1.000.
The present law does not per
mit any compromise, and the total
amount must be paid unless the law is
modified.
Tnnbill reported bySeaalor Cockrell,
from the Committee on Military Affairs,
provides that land included within any
reservation which has or may become
ujcless for military purposes shall be
placed under the control of the Secrc-
j tary of the Interiof for appraised and
I public sale and also such lands shall
not be subject to location by warrant of
any description and shall net be subject
to the homestead, pre-emption ortirber
culture laws.
Aformec Parisian celebrity has re
cently died at her chateau in Silesia.
This was the once famous Mnic. dc
Paiva, at the time of her death, bv her
marriage with a German nobleman.
Countess Von Hcnckel Donnesmark.
Despite her colossal wealth and her
aristocratic husband, this lady was
simply a demi-mondainc of great beauty
and fascination. She was a Russian
by birth, and when she firvt came to
Paris she was the widow of a tailor.
She used to sell bouquets about the
streets.
Tue English House of Lonls have
agreed to the motion of the Marquis of
Salisbury to appoint a commission on
the housing of the poor. The Prince of
Wales, in addressing the House on the
subject, said he had been impressed, as
were all classes, regarding the condition
of the poor. He was gratified that a
Royal Commission had been appointed to
look into tho matter. He took the
' liveliest interest in the question, and
felt flattered at being appointed a mem
ber of the Commission. The inquiry of
the Commission will be confined to
England.
Judge Jons Couitee in a conversa
tion with a Denver Aeiei reporter rives
this as pjtrt of his experience with the
recent blizzard: "It was about ten
miles to Dixon, where we knew we
could secure shelter, foid aud warmth,
and we pulled out at early day break.
But it took nerve to face the winds that
I tvnisticu aoour. utc mountain, ami we
feared and were prepared for the worst.
J Frequently one of the party would an
nounce after ridinga ihort distance that
he felt comfortable, but we all knew the
cause of it. and would hustle him out of
the sleigh and pound him. and make
him walk until he warmed binuclf thor
oughly." Is October last there was Ngun a
movement amon the fanners of Mani
toba and the Canadian Northwest which
was intended to secure for them retires
of certain grievances under which they
were being crushed. The first of these
grievances was the monopoly given the
Canadian Pacific Railway in that they
were granted tho exclusive right to
build railroads through the country.
Another mj-usticc complained of was the
cicci-ive duties imposed ou all roods
going into the country. In view of these
facts Manitoba sent a delegation to
Ottawa to attempt redress of grievances,
but x. deaf car was turned to their
appeal, and in consequence the people
of Manitoba arc indignant and ocnly
threaten secession. A convention has
been called to consider the situation.
A Wasiuxgtox correspondent states
that there are in round numbers about
forty-six thousand claims for tobacco re
bate, of which only the merest fraction
have been rejected. A few were thrown
ont because they were not made in time,
and some claims were made on broken
packages, while the law limits rebates
to whole packages. A very few were
thrown ont for fraud or other reasons.
Frcm the entire country only a
hundred or two of claims were
rejected. Tho last of these claims were
passed from the Internal Revenue office
to the Fifth Auditor's office last Novem
ber. The Fifth Auditor has now passed
about seven-eights of the whole lot to
the First Comptroller, and hero they
are stalled. Comptroller Lawrence told
the correspondent that bs bad only
four clerks in the division to which
these claims go, and they have so much
work ahead of them that unless the
Comptroller has additional clerks as
signed him it will take two years before
his office will ever begin the examina
tion of these tobacco-rebate claims. An
appropriation for additional clerk hire
will be asked ,

Atlaxta, Gs., Feb. 20. As fuller re
ports of the eyebne which devastated the
northern part of this State and Alabama
and the western sections of Xortli and South
Carolina come in, the disaster seems to
grow In terrible proportions. Jib perfect
estimate or the number of Cres lost
or the damage dons can yet be formed,
bat it b known beyond all doubt that
this is the greatest disaster that has
ever happened In America. Tbe killed
and wounded belong almost exclusively te
the poorer classes, and there will be suffer
ing and destitution among those who es
caped. Tbo number ot deaths so far re
ported aggregates 204 Gt these 113 are In
Georgia, 43 in Korth Carolina, 103 la South
Carolina, and M in Alabama. Many sec
tions have not been heard from, anil the
death list will probably rracb 400.
Om of the worst tales ot the storm comes
from Grassy Knob, one of the highest parts
ot Ihe Jong swamp ran;e In Cherokee Coun
ty. The cj clone came in sight seven miles
to the right of Jasper. It went over tha
mountains and out of sight eight miles from
that town. It was In sight perhaps five
minutes, ami in ten tbe tract bad returned
to Its erstwhile oulet. The devastated
route was from half a mils to three miles
across.
In that fivo minutes' trip over that fifteen
mile sluice of country Mrs. Levi Cogia and
two ehllriren, William Graver, William
Uerrin,Atonzo Wrisht, Mrs. James Dowde
and two children, Mrs. Wyley, Mrs. Lewis
King and two children, John Nicholson,
Mrs. Nations, Mrs. Watklns, a child of rtr
ryltUt, a child ot W. U. Collier and a
child ot Hiram Walker were killed
twenty deaths In alt, known and accounted
for.
In the fifteen miles the cyclone crossed
tbe Western i Atlantic Railroad neat Car
terrville. but did nothing of consequence
until It reached a point a few wiles from
Jasper. Then it made a fifteen-utile shoot
for Grassy Knob, and this Is what it left:
Archer's mill and lilt's store were blown
down. John Nicholson's boose was de
molished, and his wile and the aged sister
ot the Hon. Lem Alfred killed. Tbe
Widow Corbin's bouse was blown down,
but oat ot the eight persnns In it nons

to pieces and his wife and two chil
dren killed. Lewis King's bouse was de-
ttrojed and I :s wife killed. Bill Ander
soVs house it as blown down and his little
girl hurt. The Refuge Baptist Church was
blown to atoms. William Reese's wife ran
Ml? the cell jr of bcr house with ber elghl
children. Tbe building was blown from
over them and dashed into a million splint
ers. Mr. Ree?e had an arm broken, and
cne child had a finger hurt so that It had to
be amputated.
Tates (or Cool Spring, as the town it
called) was wiped from the face of the
earth.

three nooses blown down. The track: of
the ryclono was about half a mile w lie, and
everything In its path was destroyed. Thl
destruction of life and property was unpre
cedented. At Harmony Grove, Jackson

stroyed. At Rocky Mount two churches
and a number of other buildings were blown
down and two children killed. The worst
of the cydoae was at Rockingham, where
twenty-three persons were killed and eight-!
ecn wounded. Those who were on the edge
say that all was over In two or three
minutes. Everything was destroyed ami
the people were killed or wounded
in that short time. Fragments ot
bousos only remained. Tbe largest trees
were torn up by the roots, ami the ground
was covered with broken timbers. Many
people were killed and wounded by flying
timbers. A young lady, when the houss
began to rock, nn out, and was Lutantly
killed by being pierced through by a living
fence rail. Men who had been to 'Phila
delphia Church say that the scene of the
dUisttr is worse than a battle-field. After
the wind had pacd the rain fell in tor
rents; when the rail hid nearly ceased hail
stones ot extraordinary size fell In great
quantities. Horses, mules and cattls wcrt
killed by scores.

j On bearly erery occasion the weather he
favored and seconded the efforts of kfee -sgeri
of such affairs; bat to-day tkey were
destined to an overwhelming failure- The
occasion was the unveiling of a stacae C
and dedicatisi of a monument to the Con
federate chief Uln, General Robert K-Lee-The
tact that it was to take place om Wash
ington's birthday added still more faatecsst
to tbe intended display. All tbe saUMary
of the city and manyvisUins cossei,
Incjnding the fine company ot light iaaat
ry from Detroit, Mich., were to lead their
aid, and all the organizations ot Teteram
soldiers of the late war were to give a
grand historic interest to the affair. Hot

Ihe Army of the Tennessee appear is force,
but large and imposing delegations ot the
Grand Army of the Republic, represented
In Joseph A. Mo--er and Timothy O. Howe
Posts, graced the occasion with their pres
ence. Tne hour of two o'clock had arrived, the
troops were on tbe ground, and the r eteraaa
were in their places of honor and a great
array of distinguished guests were o the
platform. Scats which bad been provided
for a great number of ladies were filled aad

sorts and condition. Full lOXJO people
were on -he ground. Flags of all nation.
orer which the national standard dosai
nated, floated in the balmy south Lreean,
and in tho sunshine which gdded tha scsae.
But in the meantime a densely dark aad
formidable looking cloud was seen rapidly
rising along the northern homos and
mounting swiftly In the heavens. Coafl
dei.t ot the lavor of fortune Tery few per
sons took warning from the gatherisng
clouds and the preparations for carryis
out an imposing programme proceeded
without interruption. By 2:13 the e4r
northern sky was block as -ink, aad the
thunder growled in the distance and the
atmosphere became oppressive and sultry.
Tbe great orchestra, under the direciiea
of Prox. Moses, Albert Sidney Jokasto'
bandmaster, struck np a grand march Teat
Wagnet'a Rienzi, when in a moment the
storm burst upon the vast assemblage1.
Roraing dr.wn irom the north, its adra&ea
guard ot dust, fragments of paper aad
light rubbish of ell sorts, filled the air, fol
lowed by great drcps of rain. The crowd
broke up as If scattered by an explosion.
Tbe confusion was intense. mosses
screamed and men shouted, and all insttact
ively Iroke for shelter. Escape for most
ot them was hopeless, for the rain cams
down In an avalanche to be realized only
in these southern latitudes, and in fire
mi antes many thousands of people were
drenched to tbe skin. The wind blew a
violent gale, and carried away erery Sea;,
awning, hat and other simll.ir movable k
could lay hold on. Tin thunder roared,
aud the lighting cat the driving stoma in
every direction, and played around tha
gigantic statue whose outline was strongly
defined through tbe wet cotton shroud teat
draped it,
Tbe statue faces the north, and the old
commander stood nnmored amid she storsB
ot bearen's artillery as be had before stood
in the face of wai'siron baiL But all his
followers bad fled. Fortunately. In tbe raft
confusion in such a crowd and in such a,
s.orm nobody was hurt to any serioac ex
tent, but s grand and imposing ctsemonial
was effectually oroEcnnp.
The programme embraced a poem by H.
F. Requier. Esq., and an oration hy Hob
Charles E. Fenner of the State Espresso
Court. These were dispensed with forever.
But after the storm a small sqaad ot the
officials ot the Monumental Association
gathered at the base of the dripping colnasst
