Else pril 14.-St. apid-, this State, terribly destructive t 5:30 o'clock this after 'he first knowledge of the ter was contained in a telegran ent to Mayor Ames from St. Cloud, reporting tMe disaster and asking that a special be sent with physicians. A samilar dispatch was received from Sank Rapids. Innediately upon re ceipt of these messages preparations were made to respond to the call for help. A train for St. Cloud left at 6 o'clock. Information at hand is very meagre, and setisational reports are current that one hundred people were killed. It is believed that at least forty persons have been killed and about seventy-five wounded, but it is impossible to get much information as yet. All is excitement and the streets are Uiled with men and frightened wohien and children. The disaster is certainly appalling. As nearly as can be learned scores of houses have been entirely wrecked. Twelve physicians were aboard the relief train -yhich left for St. Cloud. ST. PAUL, April 14.-Private advices say the storm struck the railroad be tween the round house and depot, and swept a path 600 yards wide through the city, levelling between 1.50 and 200 houss. H1. M. Clark, a well-known lumberman who lives in St. Cloud, sayaininety persons were killed and more 4than 100 injured, many very seriously. Superintendent Wakeman of tt Manitoba Road says that be twee4fthirty and forty persons were killed-at Sank Rapids, a Iiew miles southesit of St. Cloud, and nearly doubli that number injured. M., April 14.-Reports of the C t St. Cloud, Sank Rapids, -Rye Station and other points in the vicinity, last night and early this morning, were not .xaggerated. At 3 o'clock this morning in the places .pfe-there were forty nine dead and nearl 'two hundred injured, with many still missing, whose bodies will probably be recovered. Just enough house-: are left ih Sank Rapids to form a fringe around the village limits. The debris is not piled in heaps, but scat tered far and wide. The sign "Sank RapidsC"on the Manitoba depot, and a basket full of school books were found in Ryeftation,. fifteen miles distant. This ihows the terrible power of the storm. - The merysed estimates of the killed and wtounded are: St. Cloud, 15 killed 40 injured; Sank Rapids, 30 killed, 10Jigjored; Rye Station, 22 killed, number of woundea as yet unknown. S'. 9LQCD, MXns, April 15.- A few mitmtes after 4 o'clock yesterday after noon the skies became overcast with a dark cloud, and a great black mass rose ovr the hills sonthwest of the city, arutcoming with terrible velocity to the western outskirts in a direct line fob-the Manitoba freight vards. The cloudi b "Io*t, and rolled over and o'enak amokeover a battle field, and were a~companied by a loud roaring sound~'that resemblid a conflagration irimh fdiff. The cloud was funnel tah~d, and..he point dragged alongr the .. und like the tail of a huge arial beast, shig -everything thiat came in its patl'o atoms. The citizens had hardly 6Ietofee to their cellars and seek . ~nsof refuge before a whirl~ 4on them and the air filled aving -boards, shingles, bricks b ~ther dutbris; that was strvwn '~ the country and piled in promilei bhaps. It came from the southes&* and 'thoved in a northerly directioagriutil it reached the river, where its'curse was diverted and f ol 1owed the river banks until it reached Sank Rapids, where it diverged to the leWi,- passing directly throught the cen tre a1 that town. The utmost excitement prevailed. Women and children fled from their houees and rushed aimlessly about in thr midst of the dark cloud of dust and an avalance of boards and brick. Men 1 'presence of mind and stood in 'c and inactivity in the presence ot~ id demon. *It was hardly ndiy&before it was on the city in all its %ney, .and' the people were not warned of their danger before it was a abn and they fell like grain sta are the reaper's sickle. "'rgooof St. Cloud struck by t ~ is the southwestern sec tiong anif was the residence portion ociopied by the laboring class of people, the majosity of them being foreigners employed on the railroads. Thefr ~:dwellings were light built houdes and became easy prey to the monster that had so viciously pounced upon them. They were like cockle shells in the grasp of the whirlwind, and were picked up and tossed in the air and rent into a thousand pieces. The earth was plowed up in the line of the-cyclone, and the path over which it passed, to a width of nearly a quar ter of a mile, looks as though it had been upheaved by a terrible volcanic eruption. It hid hardly begun its terribte work before it was finished, and the scene that greeted the eyes of those who had escaped its fury was one that caused the stoutest heart to shaddir. The cries and shrieks of the wounded rent the air, and the ground was strewn with the bodies of the dead. Among them were stalwart men, weak women, and weaker child ren. The .citizens almost to a man rushed to the demolished districts, and summoning physicians began their work o rescuing hoewho were still livin'g~from benet the piles of dirt and talen buildings. SAUK RAPIDS, Mrs., April 15.---The cyclonestruck this city shortly after 4 o'ceek--yesterday afternoon, and in just six minutes the best portion of the town was in ruins. Not a single busi rass house was left standing on Main str~is IMany residences were dlemol i~i A'he wind camne from the 0enthwest and swept everything be fore it for a width of about blocks. The court-house is now a heap of ruins, and several county ofhxcers are killed. The Union school-house, the Presby terian and Congregational churches, the postoffice, a flour mill and a large muchine shop were all converted into kindling wood in less time than it takes to tell it. What was once the centre of the town is now covered with debris--timber, doors, pieces of furni tvre, etc. Only the City Hotel re mains intact. The Northern Pacific depot is lIterally blown away and a large number of freight cars over turned upon the tracks. Scarcely a vestige of any of the wrecked structures remained intact. The gronnd is covered with all kinds moziscuously tangled to is estimatel that 400 struc ali frame) were bluwn dowin the neat and costly Manitoba epor was unr6ofed and wrecked, tlhu alm-,st entirely cutting off teierraphic communication. The only huilding of any consequenee a-ide froa the depo, injmdU was ine brewery, and thi; :vas badly warpL-d and twisted. The .medli residencs were m;!ostiv occuptid by foreigner-, whose tames it has b..C impossible to secure with any de-ree of accuracy. The monev loss is di proportionately siall. It, is estimatedI that $60,000 will replace the buildings destroyed. The'force of the storm was such az to wrench off the door of the ,afe in the postolfice and carry it some dis tance from the building. A church bell weighing 1,000 pou)nds was found among the debris lour hundred feet away from any buildiig. The re mains of the dead are almost unrecog nizable, being completely crushied and blackened. There are a remarkable number injured about the hips and spine. Many of the survivors will be disabled for life. Thirty-one persons are already dead. The list will be swelled to forty. Dr. Ames, of Minneapolis, who is on duty at St. Cloud, informed Dr. Dolliver that at least tLirty deaths can but re sult from the visitation there. At Sank Rapids a man named Van Etton, who weighs 2f50 pounds, was carried 400 feet through the air and fatahiy in jured. A dead baby was found in the street. No owner for it can be found. At St. Cloud in the track of the storm stood the Manitoba freight house and cars filled with freight. The heavy cars were lifted from the tracks and cast in a shapeless mass. iron raiis were torn from ties and twisted like the smallest wires. Tele graph poles were torn up and the wires twisted into curious masses. The freight house was totally wrecked. The roof was lifted aid blown several bundred feet. The sides next -uc cumbed, and over $3,000 worth of freight was scattered piecemeai over a quarter of amile. Fifteen freight cars were demolished. The operators in the telegraph office and the emp'oy&! at the freight depots saw the cyclone coming and fled into the cellar and they escaped. BLIND CHAPLAIN MILBURN. Soei of the Characteristics of the 1arson Whose Public Prayers Please the Fe. p)ie. (1mn the Thukbiiton Post.) The Rev. Dr. Milburn, the blind Chaptain of the H[ouse of Representa tives, whose prayers are inst now creating a sensation, is a remarkable man in more than one respect. Forty three years ago he was told by emi neut doctors tsat he would be dead within six months, and since that time he has traveled, by actual computation, a million and a half miles in his voca tion. le is now physically, although i his sixty-fourth year, as .trong and robust as most men of thirty, and his intellect is of more than common power. He can give more accurate descriptions of Westminster Abbey, Cologne Cathedral, Nctre Dame and the other Old Word monuments than can the majority of those persons who have not been deoendent on otlher people's eyes and on their sense of touch. He can describe the rocky outlines and mountainous declivities of the Sierras and of th'e Rocky Motuntains and of the picturesque beauties of the Blue Ridge with a force and vigror combined with accuracy, rarely equaLl ed, even by writers who still retain their sight, white he has beein blind since he was five years old. It is his wonderful power of thus describing in simple language the concrete things of lite that renders his sermons and prayers so forceful and attracts to themi such widespread attention. llis tirst invocation to attract notice in the House was a vigorous denumnciation~ of stock gambling, but recently he cast all previous utterances in the s.hade by referring to the present labor troubles in such a manner as to call fort h from a Representative the remark that it was "an incendiary ap~ee:hi." A reporter of th~e P~at found Dr. Milburn enjoying the delight of a long-stemmed pipe. A t the reporter's entrance the Doctor arose, and, in a hearty voice, said he was "hIad to sce" him. The reverend gentleinan is of tall and commanding peenece. Broad chested and inclined to stotnetiW, he is the picture of health. A full, tun trimmed gray beard floats way~ down his v'est, while his black hair, streaked with silver, is bruthed back trom his bigh forehead and hana~s in brushy laxuriance Upon the collar of his cler Ical coat. Ilis strongly-tmarked feat ures bear a kindly expression, and are every now and then lit up by a pleas ant smile. While talkina- he fixes his eyes upon the pertson whom he is addressing, and the sightless orbs appear to look straight into the soul of his listener, lie is a most entertain inig talker, and onte of his favorite hobbies is the subject of health antd its promotion. ile is a very Jew in his selectionl of tood, po-itively eschew ing all hog mneats, and he treats him self to a regular course of curry-comb-, and rough towel, cold water, oil and sun-baths every morning. As lhe himself says, he -is one of the best groomed meni in the country. Giladstone's Scheme for Ireland. The second reading of Gladstone's home rule bill in the Hlouse of Com mons has beeni postponed till May 10th. The Conservatives have concluded to postpone until after the Easter holi dys the question ->' deciding whether or not to force a division on the second reading of the bill. Gladstone has sent the following reply to the congratt ulatory cablegram received by him from the Mayor of Boston: "I have received your telegram. I thank yotu for your courtesy in inform i ; meof the p'roceedings ~of the mass .. ing held in Boston to take actioni on rne subjoct of the proposals of a g overnment for Ireland. 1 feel that American opinion, allied as it is with regard to an aff'ection for~ the old coun - try, aff'ords Her Majesty's government a powerful moral support.

Thle Fine Crop Prospect---hamitrants I front the South 31oving Largely !-.to Ar. kausa. Pr1m Dr.z-r, Anu., April 12.-The pat winter, which was one of unmsual se-verity in this part of the country, after ingering long in the "lap of sprig'',ut last !. i give place to w.11rmii, i.1aiti ng sun--hintie, silnging- birds ald bloomigI flowvers, Which herald tihe near approach of summer. The we-ather continued changeable and un ceriain and very discou raginig to plan teri up to the Sih5 isiait, when there ,wa- a heavy fill] (if snow, but it not being cold enouglh to freeze, after a few hours of suns hilne all traces of the snow disappeared, leaving no visible sign of damage either to the fruit crop or to vegetation. Since then the weather has been such as to cause everything to put on a new aspect of life and vigor. The fariers throughout the country are very busy :ziakizn preparations, as usual, for a large crop of cotton. This is a gooc corn country, but cotton is made the leading crop. There is very little small --rain raised bere, and what is, is generally sown late in the spring, as the abundance of rain aid the hard freezes during lhe winter almost in variably prove destructive to fIall sow There has been the greatest demand on the pamrL of farmiers this spring for supplies I ever heard of. This is partly owing to the fact. that the inilux of imnmigrat ion during tie past winter was unusually large, tuost of the new comers being negroes who had just enough, or but little more ioney than it took to defray their expenises liere, and Owing to certain hanges. made in the mnortg'age aw by out- last Legisla ture, a mortgage on crop without itock or some kind of real estate is not valid security. Ience tany have experi etteed considerable difficult v in obtain ing supplies. Blut the new-comers are not alone inl this respect. There is a class of farmers here, as there is every whecre, I suppose, who, from a lack of foresight and proper ecotnomy, or from other causes, have gotten behind, and depend altogether on the credit ;ystemn for supplies during til the summtetr, and they live hard, they pay :tulch enor mous prices for what they cotnsutne, that when thev sell their crops in the ftll it takes Aont al] they have made to square tip with tlheii- merchant, and tlts it goes "The little bee sucks the ntd And the big bee sucks the honey: The poor man makes the crop But thle rich man gets the money". I mt- a gr-eat many iegroes-. here, who came from Newberry, Lexington and Richland counties, last December and Januarv. They seem greatly pleased with their new bomnes, and are expecting manv of their friends in the old State to join them here next win ter. The negroes are Tdready itn the majority here, and their numbers are nier:tlv doubled every year. The leading topic of c3nversation hiere for several ree-ks past has been the :-trikes, the bad etfects of which have been so ;riously felt in St. Louis. Little Rock and other neighbotring ities. Siuce they have ended, the talk has turned to the overflow of the Missisisippi and the expected rise of :I.e At-kansas. I will write of this tise when it comes. 1-:. J. C. THE IRISH PARLIA3MENT. The Text of 3Ir. Glads~tone's Famous Bill for tthe Future Government of Ireland 3lade Public. The I louse of Commons having voted permission to Mr. Gladstone to intr-o duce his hill for the bete governtmett of Ireclanid, the official text of thte meas tre is tnow made public. It debamrs the Irish Parliament fr-omt legislating con cernitng the status, dignty ot- succes siont of the Crown, ftrm passinmg laws affecting peace or wat- the at-ty or navy, miilitia or v-oluntceers, or- the defencee of the realm. amid ft-om takmng anty action concer-ning te thr-eign or. colonial relationms of the Emapire. Among othetr subjects placed beyonud tile power of the Irish Governmnetnt to deal with are digntities, titles and hion ors5, pr-izes and booties of war-, offences agaittst the law of tnationis, tteasont atnd aienaige, usvigationt, co)pyight, pat ents, mautils, telegr-aphs, coinamgc, weights and meastures. The bill turthi eri pr-ohibits Ir-elanid from doing atny thing to establish oi- endow ny r ligion, or to disturitb or confer anyv piivileges otn account of r-eligious be lief, and also forbids it to impose cus toms or- excise duties. The Queen is given tile same prer-ogative to sutmmton, rrto-ogue atnd dissolve the Ir-i~h Legis latui-e as she has with mespect to the Imperial Par-liametnt. To her Majesty is also given the power to er-ect fot-ts, asetals, magazines anid dock yatrds. The Ir-ish Legislature is permtiitted to impose taxes to be paid into the comn solidated fund to detr-ay the expetnses of the public service in Irelanid, sub ject to the provisions of the lIrish land putchase bili, but is not to either r-aise or rspp oprmiate revenues without the recotfmendationi of the Queenm, made through the lor-d lieutenanttt. Chut-ch popertyt ini Irelanid is to belong to the Iish people, subject to existotg chatges. The executive govermnr.ent of Ir 1.ind is vested by the Queen in a lord lieutetnat, who will gover-n withi the aid of such officers and counicils as the Queen may appoint, and will give or withhold the Queen's assentt to such bills ats the Irish Legislat ure mtay pass. The absetnce of modification of the home r-ule bill dishear-tens the Liber-als, and a~tnovemtent is on foot to obtaini Gladstone's assentt to the itroduction of a mnotiomn asking thte Hlouse of Comn mon~ts, before the seconid r-eaditng of the bill, to adopt a r-esolutiotn simply afiming tile inecessity of establishing a Legislature at Dublitn. A Prxohibition Victory in Rhoude Islacnd. Thie election itt Rhode I~landl on Tuesday- resulted in a decided pr-ohi bitiont victory.
