PREPARING FOR CONVENTION.
Baltimore Md. June 14. —The state
central committee is in session at the
Carrollton hotel today for the purpose
o< deciding upon the date and place for
holding the state nominating ccnven-
tion. As the convention is called upon
to nominate candidates for governor
attorney general and other state offi-
cers considerable interest is manifested
in the committee's meeting. It is now
probable that the contest for the gov
emorship and other nominations will
be fought out on the floor of the con-
vention. The recent municipal vic-
tory in Baltimore has greatly animated
the Democratic leaders and as a con-
sequence the fall campaign promises
to be nnusual'y lively.

Omaha Neb. June 14. —A special to
the Bee from Blair Neb. says:
One c< the worst storms that ever
visited this section of .the state drop-
ped down upon the little town of Her-
man located Vn miles north of here
last night. For some ttwo hours be-
fore the storm took a disastrous form
the clouds were of a threatening color
and the air was hot and sultry. At
6 o’clock the storm seemed more
threate/iing and the people were on
their guard. At 6:15 It was observed
that the wind was blowing from the
northwest and southwest and with in-
creasing violence. At 6:30 it took the
funnel shaped appearance and bore
down upon the totwn. The first dam-
age done was about four miles west
of Herman at the Hawkins farm. Mr.
Hawkins is degd and his barns and
outbuildings are a mass of ruins.
In the village of Herman few
buildings are left standing. The
business portion and residences are
piled up in a heap. That any escaped
is miraculous.
The bank owned and operated by
Representative J. H. Chambers is in
a mass of ruins. It was a substantial
brick; his home an elegant frame es-
caped.
Near the depot is a pile of rubbish
containing everything from a pair of
boots to dead and wounded horses
hogs cattle etc.
The dead and injured thus far re-
ported are:
Dead—Mr. Hawkins. W. S. Richards
postmaster; E. B. Hopkins. Herman.
Mrs. A. R Hopkins. Louis Clausen
Missouri Valley; John Hopkins. Her-
man.
Seriously wounded —Mrs. A. Ander-
son Herman: Machinist Clausen. Mis-
souri Valley; Tom Hines Blair; A.
Christensen. Herman; c< 'West Her-
man - Mrs. Kelso and child. Mr. Rich-
ardson died from suffocation. He
was very old. Mrs. Anderson is suff-
ering from a broken arm and very
serious cuts about the head and face.
Her condition is critical. Tom Hines
is a mason from this city and is suffer-
ing from internal injuries; he Is prob-
ably fatally hurt.
Two special trains have been sent up
from here and the wounded are being
eared for at the Clifton hotel. The
closest estimate is that eight are kill-
ed and fifty wounded. „_ pnne

NEW RICHMOND NEWS.
Arrangements For Burying The Dead.
Preserving Order.
New Richmond Wis„ June 14.—Two
men met their death by being cut with
flying boards. They were Nicholas
Padden whose head was severed from
his body by the end of a plank and
Michael Heffron w’hose body was
found in his basement cut squarely
in half across the abdomen. The
sharp edge of some flooring was hurl-
ed against hifn going clear through
the body.
One pathetic incident was the death
of a little boy who as yet has not
been identified. He was coming down
the street with a kodak in his hand
yhen the cyclone arrived and later his
body was found several rods from
where he had been last seen. The lit-
tle fellow’s head was shockingly
crushed. The suply of coffins ran out
early in the morning and at present
there is not enough in the city to bury
the dead. A sufficient number are on
the way from St. Paul Chippewa
Falls. Eau Claire and other places
and it is believed the supply will be
ample by tonight. A mass meeting
of the clergymen of the various deno-
minations has been called at the Con-
gregational church to arrange some
definite plan for holding the funeral
services.
As is usual in cases of such disast-
ers there has been a large influx of
disreputable characters and there
have been several cases of petty pil-
fering but they have not amounted to
much. Although it is out of their
own state the St. Paul police officers
have done most excellent work in
checking general thieving and a large
number of detectives in plain clothes
are on duty watching the ruins and
it is expected that the militia will
soon have things so well in hand that
the police will be withdrawn to their
own state.
FAMOUS OLD SCHOOL.
Bethlehem Pa. June 14.—Simple but
impressive exercises were held here to-
day in celebration of th cne hundrd and
fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
the Moravian seminary for girls com-
monly known as Bethlehem seminary
which is the oldest school for girls in
this country. It was on January 5
1*49 that the little institute opened
with sixteen scholars on the roll. The
building used at that time was today
visited by hundreds at alumnae who
came from New York Philadelphia
and other places to honor their alma
mater on the occasion of her sequi-cen-
tcnnial.
In addition to being the oldest female
seminary in the country the school en-
joys the reputation of having educat-
ed the daughters of scores of families
famous in the early days of .the re-
publie. Among the distinguished pu-
pils who have shared instruction at the
seminary are the daughters of John
Jay. chief justice of the United States:
Eleanor Lee. a grand-niece of George
Washington: Cornelia Greene daugh-
ter of General Nathaniel Greene the
nieces of Stephen Girard and a niece
of Etben Allen. The Van Rensselaers
the Havemeyers. Roosevelts. Knicker-
bockers and many other famous old-
time families also sent their daughters
to this school.

business session will be held tomorrow

week’s proceedings. Among the mat-
ters that the convention will be urged
to give its early attention is an over-
ture from Victoria B. C. asking that
some action be taken in the matter of
securing from the Dominion govern-
ment more equitable assistance than
is now being received in the way of
government grants.

Nurserymen began its twenty-fourth
annual meeting with a large atten-
dance of representative nurserymen

RUSSIA'S VIEW.
Consul General Pavlow
of Corea Speaks.
IS IN UNITED STATES.
He Pays His Respects to the Rus-
sian Ambassador.
HE SAYS COREA IS QUIET FOR
THAT LAND OF INTRIGUE.
Russia Has No Thought of Closing
Any Trade Doors in Northern China
—Needs All the Possible Supplies For
Her Own Opened Territories—There
Will Be No War Over the Dismem-
berment at China.
New York June 14. —A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Alex-
afidre E. Pavlow charge d’affaires
and consul general of Russia at
Seoul Korea who has been granted
leave of absence by his government
and is now on his way to St. Peters-
burg has stopped here to pay his re-
spects to Count Cassini the Russian
ambassador to the United States. M.
Pavlow was tor several years attach-
ed to the Russian legation at Pekin
under Count Cassini and last Novem-
ber was transferred to Seoul.
“The condition of affairs in Korea
at the time of my departure” he said
to me this afternoon “was quiet tor
that land of intrigues. So far as the
people of the peninsula are concerned
they are patient under the many ex-
actions imposed upon them but there
are constant changes in the ministers
governing the nation due to intri-
gues tor office.
“From an international point -of
view there does not seem to be dan-
ger that Korea will bring about any
immediate trouble between nations
interested in her. Her right to gov-
ern herself is fully recognized. Great
Britain does not interfere with the
conduct of affairs and any questions
that arise which are of special inter-
est to Russia and Japan are discussed
between these two powers.
“The situation in China has been
greatly simplified by the recent ar-
rangment made by Russia and Great
Britain regarding their respective
zones of influence. The chargee made
by Lord Beresford and others that
Russia may close the door to general
trade in the northern section of the
celestial empire under her control
are wholly unwarranted. Appreciat-
ing the needs of the millions inhabit-
ing that section and Siberia to the
north the Russian government will
be only too glad to have all nations
extend their commerce to those re-
gions. The railway being built
through Manchuria to Port Arthur
will be especially beneficial to trade
as it will enable the prompt tran-
sportation of goods. The acquisition
by Russia of influence over Northern
China instead of being harmful to
other nations will be beneficial and
American and European merchants
will undoubtedly reap advantage from
the change.
“It is my belief that the more Chin-
ese territory is acquired by the sev-
eral nations of the world the better
It will be for the Chinese and the
more certairf it will become that the
division of that territory will not pro-
duce war. Though the Chinese ques-
tion is a very complicated one I am
confident from the present outlook
that diplomacy will succeed in adjust-
ing the questions which will arise.
China of course can make no forcible
objection to the acquisition of her ter-
ritory by foreign governments.”

New York June 14.—President
Schurman of the Philippine commis-
sion is expected to gather some val-
uable information in his proposed vis-
it to the different islands of the arch-
ipelago says a Washington correspon-
dent of the Tribune. While not much
is known in Washington of his pur-
poses the understanding is that he de-
sires to inform himself of the condi-
tions elsewhere than in Luzon before
returning to the United States. In the
bushwacking of Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers around Manila which makes
American military operations neces-
sary the fact is generally overlooked
that other parts of the archipelago
have accepted American authority un-
reservedly and that no trouble is anti-
cipated ir establishing government
there. It is a curious circumstance
that the most favorable conditions are
said to exist in the Sulu group. Pres-
ident Sehurman has not indicated de-
finitely whether it Is his intention to
visit this group but the supposition is
that he desires to learn the situation
there.
In March General Otis reported that
the Spanish garrison was etill main-
tained in the group but this was a
temporary arrangement and the gar.
rison was expected to retire later. The
Sulus are Mahometans but .they are
said to te the most favorable to
American authority and with proper
encouragement they are likely to prove
tractable. Both American naval and
military officers in the Philippines have
written interestingly of the prospects
in this part of the archjpelago. They
have been almost unanimous in their
opinion that although the people were
Mahometans there were few difficul-
ties in the way of assimilating to
American institutions. Prof. Wor-
cester during his residence in the
Philippines spent some time among
the Sulus. but the other members of
the civil commission have had no op-
portunity to learn by personal investi-
gation what the prospects are. The
reports have been uniform in saying
that the sultan was anxious for Amer-
ican protection. Spanish authority
while never established throughout the
islands was nominally acknowledged.
The sultan is said to have some ad-
vanced ideas of civilization.
T. H. Haynes a British merchant
said that the conditions attaching to
the acquisition of the Sulu islands
were different from those relating to
the remainder of the Philippines which
had been in the absolute possession of
Spain. He thought it was to the In-
terest of the United States to establish
a system of governmen which will be
productive of harmony between the in-
habitants of the islands and their pro-
tectors. In doing this the prosper-
ity of the natives and the personal
welfare of the sultan and the chiefs
were all to be considered. Under the
shadowy Spanish dominion the sultan
had at various times indicated his
desire for a British protectorate. He
was anxious to have the rich lands
opened up by plantations and interna-
tional trade increased. He also want-
ed a stated subsidy and his own prop-
erty to be guarded by the protectorate
power. There is nothing to this pro-
gram which he had outlined under
theory of a British protectorate which
cannot be carried out under American
sovereignty. The statement which is
Indicated was similar to that of the
British Straits settlement in which
the government was nominally under
a native sultan. The inhabitants of
the Sulus are said to be industrious but
they are widely scattered and the na-
tive chiefs demand and receive too
large a proportion of the fruits of their
labor.
DROUTH IN THE EAST.

Boston June 14.—Reports received
by the Associated Press from various
sections of New Englhnd indicate that
the present drought is general and
destructive. The financial loss to
farmers will be excessive more partic-
ularly the grain crop in southern New
England which is a failure in regard
to yield. In North New England the
conditions are vastly better than in
Massachusetts Rhode Island and Con-
necticut but strange to say the entire
coast line is suffering from dryness
while the interior states get a little
moisture. On Cape Cod rain has fal-
len for 36 days except a couple of email
showers.
