Marshall, Minn., Aug. 8. — The
worst tornado and hail storm ever
known in Southwestern Minnesota oc
curred between 4 and 5 o'clock this
morning. This town was tilled all day
with farmers from a distance of a dozen
miles, and reports are constantly grow

of Lincoln and Yellow Medicine coun

in Lyon county of not less than half a
million dollars. At 4:50 this morning
the storm struck Marshall and passed
over the same course as that of last
Friday, when Cummings' house and
other buildings were demolished. That
day a gang of twenty-five of his brother
carpenters rebuilt his house from
foundation to ridge pole, and all his
household effects were moved in Satur
day. This morning the new house was
crushed like an egg shell and all his
effects ruined. The injured family
were in another building.
Near Cummings, the Icelandic Luth
eran church, built last year, was picked
ap, turned bottom side up, and, strik
ing on its roof, was thoroughly demol
ished. Several barns and small build
ings were crushed and overturned and
innumerable trees blown down. Nearly
all the glass on the north side of the
street of most of the buildings in town
was smashed, including the handsome
cathedral windows of the Congrega
tional and Methodist churches, In the
northern part of town the ground was
covered with hail stones, the average
size being an inch and a half in diame
ter, but many were much larger.

vals. The atmosphere was dense with
electricity and Hashes of lightning.
Almost everybody feared disastrous re
sults, .--but the blow did not come tili
daybreak.

Stay, a farming settlement a few miles
west of here, were blown down. Mr.
and Mrs. Stackourt were killed by fall
ing timbers and Mrs. McCtillom was
very seriously injured. Crops for fif

as he is beginning to compre

aroused general disgust instead of
the admiration he anticipated. Other
laboring members avoided him, and if
he had any .chance , of exercising in
riuence it is utterly- gone. The Con
servatives did ...not appear at all de
spondent. They, are preparing for an
earnest struggle, and 'mean rather to
force the fighting. The Liberals, oh the
other hand, prefer to do as little talking
as possible and push the work' as rap
idly as possible. The government ad;
dress to the newly organized parliament
is as follows:
We have to inform you by command of her
majesty that the present parliament has been
assembled in obedience to the terms of her
majesty's proclamation of June 28. ISOJ, by
which the late ' parliament -was dissolved.
Previous to that dissolution the .business of
the session was completed, and it is there
fore not necessary that parliament continue
in session at an unusual period of the year
for the transaction of financial or legislative
business. It is her majesty's hope that when
you meet again at the customary season you
will again devote your attention to measures
of social and domestic improvement iv the
path of useful and bcueficient legislation,
which has been so judiciously followed in
previous sessions. ...
t*J*fl Gladstone Appears .-7;^.?^; :
London, Aug. B.— Before the opening
of." the debate on the address in reply to
the speeches from the throne, Mr. Glad
stone entered the house,. and took tSe
usual oath administered to mem
bers. He . was the recipient of
hearty ■-' cheers from Ins suppoit-'
ers. Neither the speech of Mr.
Burton in moving the address,
nor that of Mr. Cross, who seconded
the address, attracted any attention.
The house was listless until Her
bert Henry' Asquitb, Gladsonian mem
ber for the East: division of Fifeshire,
rose to move the amendment declaring
that the house-had no confidence in the
government. •He was greeted with loud
•'•'•'. zAiQ'iv ws^!&\ TsSivw
J_yQ?9
W. E. GLADSTONE.
and prolonged cheering by Hie Liberals:
Mr. Asquith declared that parliament
had met for the obsequies of a dead ma
jority. The house ought not to dally
over a practical question, but should as
speedily as possible place in power a
government representing the decision
of the country as expressed
at the polls. Thomas Burt, Glad
stonian member for Norpeth, sec
retary of the Northumberland Min
ers' Mutual association, seconded the
non-conference amendment. He con
tended that the question of home rule
for Ireland must dominate all other
questions to which the Liberal party
was pledged. Kt. Hon. George J.
Goscheu, chancellor of the exchequer,
said he hoped that the house-would at
last hear 7 " • -.
Something- Definite*
about home rule. Mr. Gladstone, he'
declared, could no longer shirk-explain
ing his home-rule scheme, nor could
Sir William Vernon Harcourt evade
any such question by going out of
the house instead of respond
ing to them. Justin McCarthy
said that the Irish party I" ex
pected that coercion would cease when
the Liberals came' into power. "If the
Liberal government's home-rule bill
did not satisfy the people ot Ireland, :
there will be ah end of -IT. 7 [Conserva
tive cheers.] He believed in the sin
cerity of Liberal assurances that
the home-rule bill would be kept
In front of their legislation.
The Irish party also wanted an catty
measure for the relief of evicted tenants
aud an inquiry into the cases of Irish
prisoners wrongfully convicted of
' offenses against the crown. They further
desired that the term of imprisonment
of prisoners be shortened. John Red
tmond said he would support "Mr.Asquith
; because he considered it the. duly of
; every Irish member to assist in ousting
the present government, regardless of
the question whether they were likely
to fare better at the hands of its suc
cessor. He could not consent in any
way to Mr. Labouchere's suggestion to
give the Newcastle programme prece
dence over the home rule question, lt
might be possible to deal with
Certain English Reforms
concurrently with home rule, hut he
: would not consent to any policy placing
home rule in the second rank. He
would not hold Mr. Gladstone .respon
sible for the suggested delay of the
home rule question, but he desired to
remind the Liberals that nothing had
been heard of this delay during the
six years the Irish had co-operated. with
the Liberals, and assisted them to win
in bye elections. He could not support
any measure looking to a re-distribu
tion of political power impairing in the
■slightest degree the influence of
Ireland. He hoped that they would
not;, have to wait until Feb
ruary for the provisions of Mr. Glad
stone's bill. It was useless for the Lib
eral party to live in a fool's paradise.
,'lhey were going to be placed in power
by Irish votes, and they must
fulfill its pledges, In conclusion,
he suggested that the autumn ses
sion of parliament should deal
with the evicted tenants and the
Irish political prisoners' measures.
The speech excited much laughter and
cheering from the Conservatives. -Mr.
Goschen. in concluding his speech, de
nied that home rule was the paramount
question which had been submitted to
the country in
The Recent Campaign
and declared that it had occupied in a
large number of electoral addresses a
very subordinate place. [Cries of "Hear,
hear."] The Irish members seemed to
think that they had nothing to do but
evict the present ministers in order to
get: home rule. [Cheers from the
Irish members.] Did the mover
of the amendment to the address
in reply to the speech from the throne
know the policy of his party regarding
the same rule? Beyond the leader of
the opposition and some few of his fol
lowers, nobody knew the exact nature
of the measure. Lord Salisbury ad
mitted that the speech was like
a sealed envelope put into
the hands of a preacher going
into the pulpit and when opened found
to contain nothing. The government
had no measures to.present to parlia
ment. He confessed" that he had been
disposed to abandon the speech alto
gether. He found, owing to
the conservatism of the opposition,
that that could only be done
by general consent. They had now ar
rived at a stage where the house of
commons was exercising a prerogative
peculiarly its own of selecting men
whose measures would come afterwards.
[Laughter]. When these measures were
adopted by the 'house of commons, then
Tlie House of Peers
would share with the other house the
responsibility for their measures.
.When : those measures are presented to
| them, there- -will be- no difficulty in |
i criticising them. Perhaps, then, the
I 'Liberal - lords --would ••• abandon their
/present-' conspiracy 'to silence. Then
'also the peers would perform their
duty : with that wisdom of decision
upon which the house established its
; right and reputation in days past. [Cries
'of "hear, hear."] To the duty thus cast
.upon them they would have to pay re
gard to a mandate on- that question, as
it had not been before the country. 'Ihe
.country was against the principle of
home rule. The majority of Great
, Britain stood agaiust the Irish
. majority in demanding the repeal of
the bill [Cries of "No"], so if home rule
.was passed it would be by the Irish
I majority coercing the British majority.
| ; [Cheers.] If the Unionists were de
[ : lealed by the Irish vote, it would not be
the final trial. Defeat would not mean
the dispersion of the Unionist forces.
I The Unionists would still "remain ram
! pant, against which the forces of rapine
I and disorder would throw themselves
in vain. [Cheers.]
.'- IX THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
.'After a Short Debate the Address
Is Approved.
': London, Aug. B.— ln the house of
lords of the Earl of Denbigh moved and
j the Earl of Powiss seconded the
I 'address in reply to a speech
from the ; throne. The Earl of Kim
l berly complained that this was the
! first occasion that no policy had been
shadowed in the speech from the throne.
: There was nothing in the speech, he de
clared, that could be criticised. He
hoped that if the chances of hospital life
reversed the position of tl.e parties, the
Liberal government would re
ceive the generous assistance in
its foreign policy that the
Liberals had accorded the Conservative
.government. The Duke of Devonshire
'said" that the time had arrived when
•effect was about to be given to the
opinions prevailing in the other house
.in declaring that the country had no
"confidence: in the government. The
•Liberal leaders ought to explain
the policy they would adopt if
•returned to power. The government
f would at all events hold office till it be- ;
came certain that the various sections
of the opposition would combine to
-maintain a new government. ["Hear,
■bear."] Proceeding to comment upon
the . probable Liberal foreign policy,
he specially urged upon the Liberals
{the necessity of . declaring whether
or not they desired an early evacuation
of Egypt. He said that.no declaration
of policy coming from the. Liberal gov
ernment ought to ' l*e~*~j{*Fvfn until the
Liberal government was considered.
Possible ministers, he said, were
e still private members, and their
'declarations, if they indulged in
any, could not be binding on the gov
ernment. Regarding the Liberal for
eign policy, the Liberals should never
'embarrass Lord Salisbury's conduct of
(affairs, and he hoped that the Con
servatives, when in opposition, would
'similarly assist the Liberal foreign min
i ster. The address was approved.

The day was
lowering, sul
try and threat
ening, but the
announcement
that the news
paper boys
were to give a
perform a n c c
for the delectation of the devotees of
the track was a magnet that attracted
one of the largest crowds of the meet
ing. The large attendance of the fair
sex testifies to the popularity of the
novice "jocks," but there is an* abiding
suspicion that should they repeat yes
terday's experiments their popularity
will possibly suffer a chill..
If fun was expected there was no dis
appointment. Truly, the race was quite
the funniest affair ever witnessed at
Ham line. Staid old horses were sup
plied the : newspaper, "jocks,": but: it
should be related that a sawhorse-is
none too staid to suit them.- Luckily,
no one was injured, although Stack was
dismounted by one of Twenty-One's
capers at the post. Witt Cochran was
literally run away with by old Dyer.
Twice he made the mile" circuit, and
Dyer was then halted by a policeman.
Cochran was ill. and was forced to re
tire, and here occurred an unfortunate
circumstance. The members of the
press club sincerely regret the incident,
out it was unavoidable under the circum
stances. No other newspaper man could

get ready in time to take the mount,
and Brady, of the California Wine
house, volunteered his services, and was
in the saddle before the newspaper
boys realized the impropriety. He rode
Dyer to victory. Dyer was awarded
the race, Carus; ridden by Deacon, came
second, and Red Fox, Dr. Gemmel's
mount, was third. Deacon rode for the
News, Gemmel for the Dispatch, Wack
for the Globe, Stack for the Minneapo
lis Journal. Brady for the Pioneer, and
Seixas for the Volkszeitung.
The other events were marred by the
mud. There were some scratches, and
the third event was declared off because
only two horses were ready to go to the
post.

was reached, all was bustle and excite
ment, not only in the betting ring, but
through the grand stand. There was a
murmur of 10.000 voices, and the excite
ment became so intense that there was
danger that ladies would faint. But
nothing of the sort happened, however.
After some delay Jockey Stack, astride
gallant Twenty-One, came prancing in
genuine circus style up past the grand
stand. This was the signal for a round
of applause which became electric when
Swanena bounded upon the track and
Freddy Seixas smiled with confidence
upon the multitude of ladies who had
been attracted to the track by the an-
ffi-.S&rnmelh lone finish/.- - '
nouncement that he was to give a
jockey exhibition. His hands grasped
the reins nervously, and he "cantered
around the track, apparently anxious to
place as much distance as possible be
tween the optics off his admirers anil
his : maiden efforts. :i 'lhe murky and
fOggy atmosphere served • the purpose,
for when he. romped down the back
stretch, with his silk streaming In the
breeze, the naked eye could not distin
guish him from a real live "jock." Ho
had recovered his usual fortitude when
he had halted at the post ready for. the
ordeal. The next to appear was daunt
less "Billy" Deacon, mounted on Cams.
The boys took pity on him, and offered
him a cigarette and a match, "Billy"
was disdainful, It was the proudest
moment of his ': life. He cavorted j
around a moment, rind walked to the ;
post prepared to do battle for the honor |
and fame of the News. Harry Wack j
now brought ought out J O, and he
created quite a sensation.
"Who is that handsome jockey?"
queried a chorus of ladies.
"Why, that is Harry Wack, who will
ride the Globe's horse to a grand vic
tory," they were courteously informed
by Johnny Leonard, of the Minneapolis
Tribune, ami lace handkerchiefs flut
tered, and the ladies applauded. Old
Dyer was a favorite mount, and with
the redoubtable Witt Cochrane to pilot ,
•him, inspired new confidence in the j
black's prowess. Witt dashed up past
the grandstand and the applause be- '••
came vociferous. I
Dr. Gemmel sat Red Fox like a cen
taur, and the newspaper boys rushed to
the betting ring to back him upon his
showing. He gripped the reins like
death, and now they were all ready.
"Get back there, Deacon!" thundered
the starter, for wily "Billy" tried his
utmost to get the best of the start.
Wack kept the Globe mount's head to
the fence, and it was impossible to get
■off that way. The starter finally got
J O straigntened around, but Seixas
couldn't get Swanena up, and so they
"monkeyed" around for a time. Sud
denly Stack had a notion that this sort
of thing shouldn't be perpetuated in
definitely, and, disdaining all thought
of the flag, set out on the circuit, fol
lowed by Gemmel. Wack had half a
notion to ignore the starter's office also,
and he trailed the party to the turn,
and there he aroused from his lethargic
attack, and, realizing that nothing was
to be gained by a premature run. he
turned back and rejoined Seixas, Deacon
and Cochrane. And then Deacon's mount
became restive and took a run to the
turn. Meanwhile Gemmel and Stack
were stirring up the mud down the
backstretch. A mounted policeman,
astonished at the innovation in running
incidents, clashed across the enclosure
to turn the pair of runaways back to the
start. But they wouldn't be turned
back. They were really racing, and
they continued to the " three-quarter
post. Here they halted for a confer
ence. They concluded that walking
was a mighty sight easier than riding,
and they dismounted and walked in.
Soon all were ready for another at
tempt. Deacon had" dismounted, and
the starter nearly burst his throat or
dering him into the saddle. Swanena
stood glued to the track, and J O's head
was turned to the fence, when Coch
rane and Wack made a flying start. The
flag didn't fall, but that made no differ
ence. Gemmel and Stack had made the
circuit of the track, and why not they
as well? Cochrane did, but not entirely
of his own ' Volition, .however. He dis
covered his error at the turn, and tried
to check old Dyer, but the black's blood
was up and away sped Witt, clinging
frantically to his flowing mane. It was
a picturesque run, although a strong
field glass divulged the " fact that
Witt wasn't enjoying the dash
the -.least bit. He was deathly
pale when he came up the stretch, and
he made no effort to halt the steaming
steed. On "and on ran Dyer; around
the track for the second time he
splashed the mud, and Witt was utterly
helpless, sitting rigid and statuesque in
the saddle, still gripping the animal's
mane. A mounted policemau and a j
dozen stable boys ran down the track to |
intercept the runaway. Dyer was capt- i
ured at the paddock, and Cochrane fell

n a faint immediately upon dismount*
, : ing. He was incapacitated and unable
to finish the race. His friends removed
him to the stable, and then ensued an
other delay.
A drizzling rain set in and the other
riders looked wistfully towards the*
shelter of the grand stand. All'
were dismounted now aud the
club management was asked to allow
, the race run without Dyer, and declare 1
off the bets. This was peremptorily re
fused, as Secretary Shaw had given his
word that six horses should start. An
other rider had to be found, and Shaw'
threatened to declare the whole thing
off unless started straightway. The'
newspaper boys were iii a dilemma, j
There was no time for any new man
to don silk or leggings, and
at this juncture Brady of
the California wine house suddenly ap-i
peaied, and before the others were'
really aware of what was going on, ho
had mounted Dyer and was at the post. i
This wasn't right, for the race con-j
ditions were explicit ami positive, and
confined the jockeys to actual news-!
paper men. However, what could be
done? No one had time to think before'
the start was made. Dyer had run two
, miles, and Brady weighed upwards of,
\ thirty pounds more than Cochrane who
had taken the mount originally, and few;
dreamed that Brady could win. So the '
start was made, all well together save
Swanena. She sulked and was soon left
hopelessly belli nd.to the discomfiture of
Seixas.
. Reil Fox got away first, J O second
and Dyer third. Brady bent well down'
upon Dyer's neck and reached the quar
ter leading Red Fox and Twenty-One.
•In this order they ran down around the
turn. Dyer was thirteen lengths ahead '
j of Red Fox and Twenty-One, and now
Deacon brought up Carus for a sensa
tional finish. He dashed past Twenty-
One ami Red Fox' and : was soon over-'
hauling Dyer. The latter began to ;
weaken, and had Deacon been supplied'
with a whalebone the result would hay
been different. •As it was Dyer won'
and Cams loafed in two lengths behind, j
leading Red Fox by ten length**.
what became of Swanena is not related.'
