Jones T. Wilson of this city who is manager of the St. Louis Plaster company, and spends much of his time in this city, has written his family concern ing the cyclone of Wednesday night. Mr. Wilson was on the street wdien the storm struck the city and took refuge in a dining hall.

The roof and front of this building were blown away by the st-rm. but luckily no one was injured. Early the next morning Mr. Wilson went out to view the wreckage, and describes what h- saw as follows: "Thousands and thousands of people w-re crowd-, ai-rg the streets homeless and soaking wet, and buildings for miles wrecked in part or alto-other.

Washington, Slay 29. The president vetoes the river and harbor bill today.

The message is as follows: To the House of Representatives: I return herewith without approval, house bill numbered Xo. 7,977, entitled an act making appropriations lor the construction, repair and preservation of certain public works on rivers and harbors and for other purposes. There are 407 items of appropriation contained in this bill and every part of the country is representee! in tiie distribution of its favors. It directly appropriates, or provides for the immediate expenditure of nearly fourteen millions of dollars for river and harbor work. This sum is in addition to appropriations contained in another bill for similar purposes amounting" to a little more than only SibOOC-oO which have already' been favorably considered at the present session of Congress.

The result is that the contemplated immediate expenditures for the objects mentioned amount to about S17.00o.00-. A more startling feature of the fall is its authorisation of contracts for rivor and harbor work amounting te more trail sixr.v-i.wo millions ot collars. Iiiousg the payments of these contracts are in most case so uist-ibut-eel tnat inev are to pe raet lev ruturo appropriations, more than three millions on tneir account are included in tne appropriations above mentioned. (if these nearlv twentv millions of dollars will tali due miriiisr the fiscal vear enelmg Ju-e ISw. and amounts to somewhat less the veers nnmedi-at-iv sut ng.

low contracts of a character, under previous Siaiut.es. tire si.nl ouista.nding. and to meet pavments on tnese more that four millions ot dollars must be appropriated tne immediate future. If. thererore.

this bid pc comes a law. the obligations which will be imposed rid the government. Together with, th-arnropri? tions made for immediate ex-por-'-ture on account of rivers and harbors will amount to about eigntv mi dons ot tioilai'S. Xor is this alb The bill directs numerous, surveys and examinations which eort' niio'ite new worK and further tne lace ot persistent and growing expenditures and obligations. There is no ground to hope that in the face of and growing demands, the accr-nate ot appronria-tions for the smaller schemes not cov--r-ti contracts wid lie reduced or even re-mam iw.

I-or the hscal vear ending1 June Ivih, such appropriations together with the installments on contra-ts whien will fall due in tnat vear can bar iiv lie less than thirtv millions or nollais: and it mav reasor-ablv lee apprenendd that tne prevalent toniltiev toward increased expenditures of this sort and the concealment which postponed payment ai-ford tor extravagance. will increase the burc-ns enargeable to this account in succeeeiing years. In view of the obligation imposed upon me by the constitution, it seems to me quite clear that I orly discharge a duty to our people hen I interpose my disapp-proval of the legislation proposed. Many of the objects for which it appropriates public money ar- not related to the welfare, and many of them are palpably for the benefit of lim ited localities or in aid of individual interests. On th- face of the bill it appears that rot a few of these alleged improvements have been so imp.rovi-deiitly ar.d prosecuted that after an unwise expenditure of millions of dollars, new experiments for their at'i'ompiishm-nf have been e-terod upon while those i-trnst-d with the mar.age-ra-nt of public funds in the interest of all the people, tan hardly justify questionable expenditures for public work by pib-adPig the opinions of th- engineers or other as to the practicability of such work.

It a ppears that lorae of the projects for which a ppropriations are proposed in this bill have been entered upon without the approval or against the objection of the examining engineers. I learn from official scmrces that these appropriations contained in the bill to pay for worli which private parties have actually agreed with the government to do in consideration of their occupancy of public property. Whatever it was of doubtful propriety may have escaped observation or may have been tolerated in previous executive apprnf-als of similar bills. I am convinced that the Vail now under consideration opens the way to insidious and increasing abuse and is itsedf extravagant, as the bill is especially unsuited to the times of depressed business and resulting- disappointment in government revenue. This consideration is emphasized by the prospect that the public treasury will be confronted with other appro priations made at the present session of congress, amounting to more than five hundred million of dollars.

Individually economy and careful expenditures are sterling virtues which lead to thrift and comfort. Kconomy and the exaction of eleai justification for the appropriation of public moneys by the servants of the people are not only virtuous but solemn obligations. To the extent the appropriations contained in this bill are instigated by private interests and promote local individual projects, their allowance cannot fail to stimulate a vicious paternalism and encourage a sentiment among our people, already too prevalent, that their attachment to our government may properly rest upon the hope anil expectation of direct and especial favors and that the extent to which they are realized may furnish an estimate of the val ue of governmental care. I believe no greater danger confronts us as a nation than the unhappy decadence among our people of genuine and trustworthy love and affection for our government as the embodiment of the highest and best aspirations of humanity and not as the giver of gifts, and because its mission is the enforcement of exact justice and equality and not the allowance of unfair favoritism. I hope I may be permitted to suggest at a time when the issue of government bonus to maintain the credit and financial standing of the country is a subject of criticism, that the contracts provided for in this bill would create obligations of the Fnited States amounting to sixty-two millions of dollars, no less binding than its bonds for that sum.

Nominate Levering for PresidentFor Prohibition Alone. Pittsburg, May 29. The Prohibition national convention refused to endorse the free silver plank, and John P. St. John, with many followers, left the hall and organized a separate convention.

The ticket nominated is as follows: For president, Joshua Levering, of Maryland; for vice president, Hale Johnson of Illinois. The candidates were placed upon the thinnest kind of a "narrow guage" platform, embodying merely the principle of prohibition and even omitting the woman suffrage plank, which has been a feature of its platforms for years past. Ex-Governor John P. St. John, seconded by nearly all the western delegates, made a gallant fight for the free coinage of silver and Helen Mi.

Gougar of Indiana, and Mrs. L. A. Pool of Xew Toik. struggled in vain for woman suffrage, but the narrow guage people controlled the convention and took every, tiling.

When the nomination for president was reached the name of Cas E. Pent-ley of Xobraska, the broad guage candidate, was not presented, his boom having been burster! hy the overwhelming defeat of the silver fores at the afternoon session. It was long after midnight before the last business was concluded and the convention adjourned. Joshua H. Levering, the Prohibitionist nominee for president, is a prominent coffee me-chant of Baltimore.

He is 55 years old. repiuted to tie very weaithy- and is president of the Y. M. C. A.

He was formerly a Democrat but has oeen connected with the Prohibition party since 1Ss4. and has for some years past acted as vice chalr-naii of the! state executive committee. Tie ran on tiie Prohibition ticket last fall for vernor. receiving the hisde a vote every cast in the state for the party. Mr.

Levering was proiiouneed in his views cm the questions at issue and previous to the convention stated positively that he would not accci.it th-nomination upon a free silver or broad guage platform. In the afternoon session Governor St. John spoke for the free silver pla.uk. declaring- he would vote for free silver, not only because he considered it right, but because his constituents instructed him to. and the debate continued until nearly o'clock hen a vote was finally reached, which resulted 27 for and 427 against tire plank.

The victory of tiie narrow guage faction ar-1 the def-at of free silver were greeted witii wild applause, and it was some' time before the convent i-m was aide to proceed with the consideration of the platform. The broad guage element left the convention hall late last night and organized a rump convention in another hall. Eleven state chairmen were among the bolte-rs and 24 states are represented. They are today considering the formation of a new party and a motion to adopt a platform and nominate candidates tor president and vice resident. Mr.

Moore of Xobraska is presiding. Among the promi-tnt bolters are Ib-1-en M. Gougar of Indiana, ex -Gov. John P. St.
