Arrived: Nomadic, New York. NEW Arrived: UmbHa, Liverpool; Prince W'llhelm 11., Paramablo; Potomac, London. Sailed: Mississippi, London. The Mississippi can now be described as a river studded with lakes. Hawaii is still in a position to be hugged by some fatherly nation.

Here's a paradox. The price of whisky Is going up and whisky is going down. If the powers had fewer proclamations and more howitzers, they might accomplish more. The Greeks have one thing In their favor. They can handle firearms all around the Turks.

Kentucky might make itself famous by Bending the Hon. Squinch Curd to the United States senate. Another iron factory has been Republicans of the Kentucky legislature are making bolts. The good men who are running for mayor of Chicago have but a chance Jn a hundred of being elected. Before another month passes the Dlngley bill will be known the country Over as the tariff for trusts.

A New York paper put its criticism of a very bad play under the head of "Obituary." That isn't so bad. The queen has had so many birthday anniversaries that the Prince of Wales contemplates them with growing indifference. The legislature has less than a month to sit, but in that time the governor can get into quite a row with the lawmaking body. Releases of Americans In Cuba are becoming so frequent that in future they can be given in a line like steamship arrivals. For trying to steal the "machine" crown jewels Gov.

Black, of New York, will be retired from Republican politics by Tom Piatt. A union has been formed in New York to divorce municipal government from politics. It will fail, but its pur- is nevertheless laudable. Tt has been discovered thus early that you cannot dodge a woman just learning to ride any better on a '97 wheel than on those of earlier vintage. It is just possible that Hanna's "campaign contributors," who are doing all the laughing now.

will shed bucketfuls of tears in the sweet by and by. Here is an Important item for the girls. A New York judge has decided that, In case of a breach, they need not give back the engagement ring. Sir George Calvert reports that in 1681 there were oysters a foot long. They were, however, just as mum as the little oysters we eat nowadays.

Judge Sears, the Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago, granted twenty-five divorces on Friday. This may make or mar him as a candidate. A bill is before the legislature which forbids porters on trains from accepting tips. Enacted into law. it will not prevent them from talcing tips, however.

The mayor of Keithsburg, 111., has won the American shooting handicap. This ought to be a sufficient warning to the thieves and thugs to stay away from Keithsburg. A correspondent of one of the New York papers correctly characterizes the Dlngley bill when he calls It a bill "to force those who do the most work to pay the most taxes." Fitzsimmons dreamed three times that he would whip Corbett and he did It. A Dong Island farmer dreamed three times that there was on his farm. He has been digging and plowing for it ten days, but hasn't found It.

Anybody can guess whether dreams come true or go by contraries. THE SAINT PAUL Texas Twister vastates Austin. FEW DEATHS, But Escapes Were in Many Cases Miraculous. Number of Public and Private Buildings in Ruins in the Country. DALLAS, March Texas was visited by a general rain and wind storm today.

The rain was general over neaily the whole state, while the wind seems to have done its worst in the south central section. Austin and Calvert suffered most, three fatalities resulting at the latter place. Rain poured all day, the average fall being one and one-half inches, and as much as three inches in some places. All trains south of Dallas were abandoned on account of washouts. The Santa Fe was the worst sufferer, there being nearly a half-dozen breaks on the line between Dallas and Temple.

The K. T. abandoned all north and southbound trains on the Dallas division, the track being washed out near Waxahachie and Itasca. On the line between Hillsboro and Fort Worth a washout is reported at Alvarado. The H.

T. C. reports a bridge gone on the Fort Worth division and several small washouts. The track Is obstructed by fallen telegraph poles and debris around Calvert. The Texas Central is washed out in several places between Waco and Cisco.

The Texas Midland bulletined all trains between Greenville and Ennis "indefinitely late." The T. P. train from the West was six hours late. Every river and stream in north Texas is reported as being out of its banks. The overflow' from a creek at Denton overflowed part of the town to a depth of 18 feet.

At Fort Worth the Trinity is rising several feet an hour, and at Dallas the rise is 30 feet. Telegraph communication with the southern part of the state is completely cut off. Galveston and Houston could not be reached at all. Hearne was the farthest point reached South. Estimates of the amount of the damage are impossible.

It will be several days before details can be received from the great stretch of country included in the reach of the storm. At Calvert TARIFF VOTE WEDNESDAY. Talk on the Measure to Be Gtioked Off-House and Sen- WASHINGTON, March Three more days will see the end of the struggle over the Dingley tariff bill in the house. The bill will be open for amendment until 1 o'clock on Wednesday, when the debate will close with a two-hour display of oratory. The voting will begin at 3 o'clock on that day.

So far as known there will be no break in the Republican ranks, but at least four of the Democrats will cast their votes for the bill, three from Douisiana and one from Texas. There is also a probability that one Populist and one Silverite will vote for this protective measure. Mr. Dingley, who has engineered the bill through the eddies of debate with great skill, will devote his energies to pressing the consideration of the bill forward with the utmost expedition in order to complete it liefore the vote is taken. But the Democrats are pursuing a course which has thus far rendered progress extremely difficult.

But 14 of the 162 pages of the bill were disposed of in the two days of last week. At this rate it would require twenty-one days for the house, sitting seven hours a day, to complete the consideration of the bill under the five-minute rule. If the present tactics of the opposition are persisted in, it is not improbable that night sessions will be held tomorrow and Tuesday. The policy of the Democrats thus far has been to attack every item and make it the text for general assaults on the bill, it is understood that they will make a particularly strong stand against the steel and sugar schedules. They do not hope to accomplish anything, however, in the way of amendment.

They have made trusts the keystone of their opposition up to this time, and the only thing which they really believe they can accomplish is to secure a record vote on an amendment such as was offered on Friday, providing for the suspension of the duty on any article controlled by a trust or combination. They propose to do this, if possible, by a motion to recommit with instructions after the bill is reported from the committee of the whole. There seems to be a question, however, whether this motion will be entertained under the special order under which the house is operating. The fact that the reading of the bill may not be completed under the five-minute rule will in nowise interfere with the power of the ways and means committee to perfect it. Their amendments are in order to any part of the bill at any time, and when it becomes apparent that the bill cannot be completed, Mr.

Dingley can assume charge and clear up all the amendments he desires to offer. After the tariff bill is passed on Wednesday, the house probably will adjourn three days at a time until the appropriation bills are returned to it. If they are amended by the senate, the house probably will accept the op- alone, the loss Is over $100,000. At Austin It will reach the same figure. Railroads are damaged at least AUSTIN, March This afternoon at 2 o'clock this city and the surrounding country were visited by a terrific cyclone that did no end of damage to life and property.

The wind came from the southwest and blew at about 60 miles an hour for nearly twenty minutes, tearing down trees or splitting them asunder with terrific force. Several large electric light towers were blown down, entailing a loss of some $4,000 or $5,000, inasmuch as the iron frames were twisted as though they were of the very smallest wire and will be useless. In addition to this quite a number of houses in the residence portion of the city were blown down, and in several cases narrow escapes from death are reported. The new and unoccupied residence of Mr. Burt Mac Donald, one of the prominent residents, was blown down, striking against the residence of Mr.

William Vining, crushing one side of the building and narrowly escaping killing two little children that were in the room playing. The wind played havoc with several lumber yards in the eastern portion of the city, blowing piles of lumber in every direction and scattering ruin and waste on every side. The roofs of a number of residences were torn off and blown a great distance, and, in addition to doing much damage to the state university, the wind blew off the entire roof of the adjoining dormitory, letting the rt in drive full into the four-story building, doing inestimable damage to the building and property of the 200 students therein, many of whom fled for their lives when the roof was carried away. The roof was blown one hundted yards, lighting on and crushing the roof of a cottage in which four people were seated, but no one was even injured, though they were entombed by falling debris. A church just to the north of the university had the entire east side blown in and was unroofed, the wind carrying the roof a block away.

The residence of Mr. Graves, immediately north of the church, was lifted from its foundation, twisted completely around and set down in the same place, so badly damaged, however, that none of the doors could be opened to permit the escape of the frightened inmates. The small town of Clarksville, near this city, was swept by the winds, and many houses were blown down, although fortunately the inmates were not killed, but several were badly maimed. With the terrific wind came a driving rain that was little short of a flood and swept everything before it. Reports from the surrounding country are to the effect that the storm as general in this section.

The small town of Buda, near here, was badly handled by the storm, quite a number of houses being blown down and one or two persons killed, though their names are not obtainable. Telegraph wires are down and news is very meagre. The storm was over in an hour and the sun came out as brightly as though nothing had Later details of the storm show that the loss to property will reach into the thousands. Many fine dwellings were demolished. At Calvert, an old lady and two children who were in their house were fatally injured by the collapse of the building, which was partially destroyed by lire notwithstanding in torrents of rain which were falling.

The loss to property in and around Calvert is estimated at $100,000. ate Forecast. pcrtunity offered for talking, and as no injury can be done it is likely that the aders will indulge the members to some extent in this regard. The senate will devote its energies this week to the arbitration treaty with the vague hope on the part of some of the friends of that instrument of securing a final vote on Friday or Saturday. The senate will early tomorrow go into executive session to consider the treaty if no unforeseen circumstances prevent, and thus afford ample time to complete all speeches by Wednesday, when the voting is to begin on the miscellaneous amendments.

The consideration of amendments is to continue Thursday, provided new ones are offered after Wednesday's proceedings. Later than that day the senate procedure is not clear. Consent to naming a date Coi the vote on the treaty itself is still withheld, and will not be given until after the fate of the amendments becomes known. It is surmised that if the Chilton amendment should be accepted the debate on the treaty would soon come to a conclusion, but that if it should be beaten the subsequent discussion would be of indefinite duration. The appropriation bills are expected to be reported to the senate after the meeting of the committee on appropriations on Tuesday, but they will not be taken up in the senate until the treaty is disposed of.

The bankruptcy bill will also yield precedence to the treaty. The question of organizing the committees continues to press for attention and may reach a climax during the week. The tariff bill will reach the senate late in the week and be referred to committee, which, however, already has the various schedules under consideration. The Republican membefll of the ways and means committee were in session several hours today and again tonight considering amendments to the pending tariff bill, some of which have been urged by those whose interests are affected by the schedules as originally agreed on, and others which have been suggested by the debate on the bill. A number of amendments were agreed on unanimously by the majority, and will be presented in the house by Mr.

Dingley before the vote is taken, on Wednesday. There was nothing new added to the bill, said a member tonight, but the changes were simply in the schedules already reported, and none of these is of great importance. These amendments were mainly in the way of changes in punctuation, classification and phraseology. Probably the most important amendment agreed on was to make the rates on nursery stock specific by the thousand cuttings instead of uniform ad valorem, as they now are in the bill. The present in the bill is 30 per cent ad valorem, and the changes made fix a specific rate, that will equal the ad valorem duty.

This change was made on the representation of the nursery interests of the country, which contended that the pending rates were inimical to their welfare. Several other amendments agreed on were to reduce the rate on imports the like of which are not produced here and where no great interests will suffer from such reduction. The duty on dates was reduced from cents per pound to a half-cent. There was no discussion looking to a possible postponement on the final vote. MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1897.

(JEN. ROLOFF IN CUBA. Lands With an Important blistering Expedition. ARMS FOR THE INSURGENTS. large Cargo of Rifles and Ammunition and Tons of Dynamite.

Laurada's Return Tells of the Successful Ending of the Latest Venture of the Cuban Junta- Government Vessels Watching the Filibuster. WASHINGTON, March Senor Quesada, of the Cuban Legation, today stated that he had received official notification of the landing of a filibustering party on Cuban soil. The expedition was under the command of Gen. Carlos Roloff. Senor Quesada said that with Gen.

Roloff was a party of fifty men, many of whom served in the ten years' war. The cargo consisted of 6,000 rifles of improved pattern; cartridges, one Colt machine gun, one dynamite gun, two 12-pounders and four tons of dynamite and bombs. It was landed at Banes. In the party were Dr. Adolfo Brunet, Jose Marti, son of Gen.

Marti; Maj. Castroberde, Arostegui and Alfonso. PHILADELPHIA, March The famous filibustering steamer Laurada arrived in the Delaw are last night, after having successfully landed the most important expedition yet sent from this country to Cuba, and tonight is anchored In the river below Wilmington. It was shortly after dusk when she slipped past the United States revenue cutter Hamilton, and immediately disappeared in the darkness up the bay. The Hamilton had been watching at breakwater for some time for the slippery filibuster, and shortly after the Laurada had passed she got under way and tonight is off Lewes, Del.

Although making no signals, the Laurada came near enough to the reporting stations at the breakwater be identified. She has been off the Capes all day, but was evidently afraid of the Hamilton, and waited until darkness enabled her Famine's Horrors in Crete. Conditions on ttie Island Caused Dy Blockade Said to Be Terrible. LONDON, March A dispatch to the Times from Athens says that when it became known on Saturday afternoon that the Crown Prince Constantin would leave the city in the evening for the Greek camp at Larissa to take command of the Geek armies in the field, a large crowd gathered on Constitution square, adjoining the palace. As the evening approached the crowd increased to a multitude and the square and streets adjacent were filled with an excited throng, cheering, singing patriotic songs and firing revolvers.

The populace shouted "For union and war," and cheered continually for the crown prince and the army. After an address by a popular orator, a deputation was chosen to present an address to the crown prince. The demonstrations of the crowd increased during the service in the palace chapel, and thousands gathered in front of the palace to witness the departure of Prince Constantin. Great disappointment was expressed when later it became known that the crown prince had left the palace privately. An immense throng, including many thousands of Cretans, assembled on the quays at Piraeus, brilliantly illuminated by lime lights from houses in the vicinity, to witness the embarkation.

The wildest enthusiasm was displayed, with shouting, cheering, and the incessant discharge of firearms. The Daily Mail's Rome correspondent says today that Admiral Canevaro, commanding the international fleet in Cietan waters, has wired to the Italian government to sehd immediately a large land force, which is imperatively necessary to cope with the Cretan insurgents. Admiral Canevaro. it is understood, asserts that conditions in the interior of the island are so terrible, as the result of famine and hardships, that even the lepers are leaving the lazar house; the Inhabitants are panicstricken, and the dead lie by the roadside unburied. A dispatch to the Times from Canea says that one of the correspondents of that newspaper, who was present during the fighting at Malaxa, was captured by the Cretans and held as a spy.

He probably would have been shot but for the opportune arrival of an American journalist and the insurgent leader, Manos, an old Oxford man, who is at the head of a band of young Cretans, whom he personally equipped. Manos was the first to enter the block-house when the Turks evacuated it, and he on the insurgents to spare the lives of fortythree Turkish pn toners. It is reported that the bombardment by the International fleets on Friday wrought 5 havoc among the Christians. is some danger of a Mohammedan uprising in the Island on account of the scarcity of food. The correspondent of the Times at Athens says today that a vigorous movement has been set on foot agaln3t the proposal to establish Crete as a principality under a Greek prince.

Tho Ethnike Hetairia Has published a manifesto declaring tfcat this is the most impracticable solution yet proposed and conceals a deliberate design to separate the island from the Greek race and to subject it to foreign control. The "manifesto says: "All the calamities that could be involved in to slip by unobserved. Hope for the Laurada's safety had been practically abandoned by all except those connected with the Cuban junta. The Laurada left Baltimore on Feb. 27 for this city, and when near Cape Henry four boats were taken on board, to be used in landing the war material.

Three days afterwards she met the schooner Donna T. Briggs, of Stonington. and the steam lighter Jennie from New York, loaded with war material, which was transferred to the Laurada's hold twelve miles off Barnegat. The vessel's prow was then turned toward the West Indies. The expedition was in charge of Gen.

Carlos Roloff, the insurgent minister of war. There were forty others on the Laurada when she left, and in her hold were stowed 7,000 rifles, 1,700,000 rounds of ammunition, 25 tons of stick dynamite and a large supply of food and medicine. The entire expedition was fitted out by the Cuban junta for Gen. Garcia, the second in command in the Cuban army, and was landed in the province of Santiago de Cuba, where a large force had been sent to meet and convey the supplies to the headquarters of the army in the interior. The Laurada's supply of coal ran short, and she was obliged to anchor in the West Indies while waiting for a fresh supply, which was sent to her on the tug Monarch, from Mobile.

Upon receiving the coal she at once started for this city. Among those on board are Mrs. Hughes, the wife of the commander of the vessel, and two detectives, who are believed to have kept a daily log of the vessel's movements. They are thought to have gone in the guise of firemen. the defeat of the Greek army would be preferable to the internal convulsions which the acceptance of such a project would entail." LONDON, March A dispatch to the Times from Vienna says that owing to the keen anxiety fet at St.

Petersburg as to what may occur in the near future at Constantinople or in the vicinity, the czar has ordered the concentration of 200,000 troops in the four governments of South Russia. The Russian volunteer fleet is now available to transport whenever required. PICKED UP SIXTEEN. Sailors From the St. Nazaire Tell ot Horrible Suffering, LONDON, March 28.

The Britsh steamship Yanariva, Capt. Weston, which left Newport News on March 10, bound for Glasgow, arrived at Greenock tonight. The captain reports that en March 12, while in latitude 31, longitude 71, he picked up a small boat containing sixteen survivors of the steamship Yille de St. Nazaire, of the West Indian line of the Compagnie General" Trans-Atlantique, which foundered in the great storm of March 7 off the Virginia capes. They had been without food and water for four days, and were in a state of extreme exhaustion, and were bordering on madness.

The officers of the Yanariva did all in their power for the unhappy men, and finally learned their pitiful story piece by piece. say that four boats were launched, two containing twenty-nine each, the third seventeen and the fourth six. The boat picked up by the Yanariva was one of the two that took off twentynine, but thirteen had succumbed to exposure, hunger and thirst. The last the survivors saw of the other boats was on the day the vessel foundered, when they sighted two of them lashed helplessly together and empty. For some time after the rescue the captain of the Yanariva kept an officer at the masthead sweeping the horizon with a glass In the hope of getting some trace of the other boats, but there was no sign of them.

As night was falling rapidly and the sea and wind were increasing, with mist and rain, the Yanariva proceeded. The second officer of the Ville de St. Nazaire is among the rescued, who will be taken in charge by the French consul at Glasgow. According to the list of the jrew of the Ville de St. Nazaire, originally published, the "second captain" was Pierre Niuroli, and the first lieutenant Andre de Andreis.

Niuroli is probably the officer rescued by the Yanariva. NEW YOK, March The circumstances under which the rescued boat was picked up by the Yanariva were mest thrilling. The captain and third officer, who were on the bridge, saw PRJCE TWO CfflfTS- jifggjggi. HAS 'EM ON A LIST. Lucky Office Seekers.

WASHINGTON, March The Post tomorrow will say: A number of important nominations will be sent to the senate today Unless something unforeseen occurs. While the president's selections for several offices are not definitely known, it is believed that they will include the following: Ex-Representative Shallenberger, of Pennsylvania, second assistant postmaster general. Mr. Baxter, of Elmira, N. third assistant postmaster general.

Thomas Ryan, of Kansas, first assistant secretary of the interior. O. L. Spaulding, of Michigan, first assistant secretary of the treasury. Ex-President Andrew D.

White, of Cornell, has, it is said, been tendered the German embassy and accepted it. Charlemagne Tower, of Philadelphia, who was originally named for the German embassy, will probably be minister to Austria, and ex-Representative Draper, of Massachusetts, ambassador to Italy. Ex-Representative E. H. Conger, of lowa, minister to Brazil; Franklin Fort, of New Jersey, solicitor general; Benjamin Butterworth, of Ohio, commissioner of patents, are also understood to be on the list.

SLASH IN MESABA. Ore Cut to $2.40. PITTSBURG.Pa., March The Dispatch tomorrow will say: A prominent iron and steel manufacturer makes the statement that it has been decided to quote Mesaba ore at $2.40 to meet the cut in price from $4 to $2.65, announced last week by the reorganized ore pool. The gentleman says the Mesaba price will be officially announced in a day or two. MAJ.

GEORGE Q. WHITE. a dark object on the water several miles away. The steamer was put about and in less than an hour met the life boat of the Ville de St. Nazaire.

The sea was running rough, but the Yanariva's crew managed to haul the boat on board. They found, to their amazement, the occupants lying absolutely helpless in the bottom and two of them raving crazy. The only sign of food was one small tin of biscuits. Three days passed before the rescued men had sufficiently recovered to partake of solid food. The survivors of the original twentynine are the second captain.

Pierre Nuolai; the second engineer, Germain Giraud; the third engineer, Prosper Lorezetti; Nicholas Siauvianell, of Pore au Prince, Hayti, and twelve seamen from Martinique. Second Captain Nuolai says that on the 6th of March tne vessel sprang a leak. A violent hurricane blew that night and during trie following day. On the morning of the Bth, the vessel had sunk so low in the water that it was necessary to tak to the boats, although the storm wastill at its height. The Ville de St.

Nazaire had a complement of eight lireboats. The first four launched werdashed against the side of the vessei and pounded to pieces. The other four soon parted company. "Our boat," says Second Captain Nuolai, "did not ship a drop of when getting away from the vesee'. This was due to the promptness with which we sheered off.

The weathe: continued very boisterous, and th waves sometimes half swamped us; kent bailing for nar lives with on caps. After a while we rigged a sail and kept the boat running before the wind as well as we could. We were drenched and our sufferings were terrible. In spite of every warning some soon began to drink the salt water. "Several of these went mad and jumped overboard.

Those who refrained from drinking fared the best, and they held down others who went mad until their strength failed. "We kept a constant look-out for a sail, but saw none until the morning- of the 12th, when we sighted a steamer. She was too far off for us to signal. We watched with mad anxiety as we saw her steering for us. ment we had only four inches of fn board on the boat.

Every instant expected she would go to the botton At last the Yanariva reached us. we wexe hauled on the deck." fJERO GONE Maj. Q. Q. White Dies Suddenly.

DUE TO A FALL Sustained Tuesday Night at Seven Corners, Which Revived an Organic Ailment of Long: Standing, and He Sank Suddenly. "Maj. George Q. White died this morning at 8 o'clock." The announcement, made from pulpit of St. John's Episcopal church, came as a surprise and shock to members of the congregation and through them to the community, yeaterday morning.

The immediate causd of his death was an accidental fall sustained Tuesday evening. On the evening in question Maj. White, while returning from down town, alighted from a Seventh street car at the Seven corners. A cable car was just crossing Seventh street, and in his hurry to catch the cable Maj. White slipped and fell.

The fall of itself was not a serious one, but for several years Maj. White has been troubled with a liver affection, and in falling, it is supposed, he injured this organ. He was able to reach his home, at 86 Western avenue north, without assistance, but shortly afterward became so ill that Dr. Metcalf, the family physician, was summoned. The physician reported the injury not serious, although the patient was advised to keep his bed.

Friday morning there was a change for the worse, and the same evening the physician and members of the family realized that the patient was rapidly sinking. During Saturday he failed steadily, and Saturday evening sank into a condition of coma, from which he did not rally, and breathed his last yesterday morning. The arrangements for the funeral have not been completed. The eldest daughter, Miss Elizabeth White, has been visiting friends in Philadelphia, and will not arrive in St. Paul until this morning.

It was not supposed that the illness of the major was at all serious until Friday afternoon, and at that time a telegram was sent notifying his daughter to come home at once. Until after her arrival no definite arrangements will be made for the funeral. Gen. John R. Brooke, commander of the Loyal Legion, accompanied by Capt.

Samuel Appleton and Capt. H. A. Castle, as a committee from the comma ndery, called at the residence yesterday afternoon and tendered the services of the commandery to the famiiy. The board of officers will hold a meeting at the office of Gen.

Brooke, in the Army building, this afternoon to arrange for the funeral. Capt. Castle has been appointed by Gen. Brooke as recorder of the commandery for the time being, that being the official position held by Maj. White in the order.

George Quincy White was born at Cambridge, in 1839. He came to St. Paul in 1881 from Philadelphia, and for the past sixteen years has resided in this city. For the first few years after his arrival in the city he was connected with the purchasing department of the Northern Pacific railroad. leaving the Northern Pacific he entered the employ of the St.

Paul Fire and Marine Insurance company as local agent, and for over twelve years has held that position. He leaves two daughters, Elizabeth Gibbon White and Margaret Gibbon White, and a sister and brother. His daughters live in thia i ay and his sister and brother in i ii.
