Nego tiations are pending for the consolida tion of the Cramp Shipbuilding com pany and the English firm of Vlckers' Son & Maxim. An offer to amalgamate has Just been received by the Cramps. For some time past a representative of the English gun firm had been here in conectlon with the deal. It is stated that the Federal Steel company has also made overtures to the Cramps and It Is possible that tho present negotiations may lead to a still larger, combination, something of a "triple alliance," the Cramps fur nishing the ships, the Vlckers company the guns and the third concern supply ing the armor. Itis stated that whatever combina tion may be brought about it will not be in the nature of a sale of the Cramps yards, but will be a union of the Vlck ers' Sons & Maxim Interests with the Cramps In a new corporation at the Cramps' present location In this city. The name.jiuggested is the Cramps-Vlckers company. The capital of the consolidation, it was stated, would not be excessive, but would be large enough to provide for a great extension of business. The au thorized capital of the Cramps is J5, 000,000. Thomas Dolan, one of the directors ot tne tramp company, did not deny that negotiations are pending looking to the consolidation, but he refused to discuss' the matter or go Into details.

LFilipinos Ask a Cessation of Hostilities. ft Aggreulva Move Will lie Blade a Long a Negotiation Are In rrogreia, but at the Same Time the American Are Strengthening Their Line and Pre paring For War. MANILA, May 1. While It is the general expectation among Americans that the Filipino emissaries will re turn with revised proposals from Gen eral Antonio Luna, Major General Otis Is not letting this prospect Interfere with his preparations for pushing the war. He has Just ordered Major Gen eral - Lawton to return to Angata, a few miles northwest of Norzagaray, and not to advance aggressively while -the negotiations are pending. General MacArthur is apparently acting on the same policy, but he is repairing bridges and strengthening the lines of his force HI . O-NERAL LTrNA. which Is stretched out with a four-mile front and within a quarter of a mile of the enemy. The possibilities of peace are gratify ing to a great majority of the army, who have regarded the war as an un pleasant duty that must be performed according to American traditions. Manila is cheerful over the prospect of a return to normal life, though there are sceptics who remark that a truce would enable the Insurgents to rest until the rainy season, upon which they have been depending as an important aid. The prisoners report that there are 75,000 refugees north of Pan Fernan dlno. This is not impossible, consid ering the thickly populated region which the Americans have cleared. It seems also that smallpox is spreading among them. Before General Otis had issued the order directing General Lawton to re turn to Angat, the troops of his com mand encountered the rebels In a cir cle of hills outside San Rafael, about five miles northwest of Angat, dis lodging them after an hour's fighting. The Americans had three wounded. A thousand armed Filipinos fell back as the Americans advanced. The vlllagurs met General Lawton, offering him provisions. They dare not flee into the mountain country in the east because the robber tribes are there and on the west are the troops of Gen eral MacArthur. Messrs. Garrick and Holmes, Amer icans who had been running a sugar mill at Calumplt and whose fate had caused some anxiety, have sent word to Manila that they are safe with Mr. Higgins, manager of the Manila-Dagu-pan railroad at Boyonbang. PROMISES MADE FILIPINOS. They Will He Allowed to Have A I mint Complete Control of Loral Affair. WASHINGTON, May 2.-The stat' department has received a long report by cable from President Schurman'of the Philippine commission of the con ference that was held at Manila Sat urday, between the memberx of the commission and the representatives of Aguinaldo. The text of the dispatch was not made public, but It was stated that Mr. Fchurman's report agreed precisely with the press statement of the proceedings In the conference as cabled from Manila. It Is declared at the state department that the proclamation issued by the Philippine commission Just before the beginning of the last campaign pre sents the maximum concessions to be made to the insurgents by the United States government. The United States government is willing to accord the na tives an opportunity to test their abIL itles, for the Philippine commission proposes to allow them almost complete control of their local affairs. The ex periment is already In progress at some points In the Philippine outside the Island of Luzon. So far as the reports Indicate, these experiments are working well and promise to have a good influence in shaping the attitude towards the Unit ed States of a considerable element amontr th" Filipinos, which has been suspicious of our intentions.

ST. LOUIS, April 28. A special to The Globe-Democrat from Kirksville, Mo., says: A gathering storm that had been threatening all afternoon broke upon Kirksville at 6:20 o'clock in all the fury of a cyclone. A path a quarter of a mile wide and as clean as the prairie was swept through the eastern portion of the city, and 400 buildings, homes and mercantile were leveled to the ground In scattered ruins. in the heavy rain that followed the people who had escaped turned out to rescue the Injured. For two hours not much wa accomplished as all was confusion, but by 8 o'clock 25 dead bodied had been taken from the ruins. It is confidently expected that the list of dead will reach between 50 and 60, if it does not exceed that. About 1,000 people were more or less injured. The list of killed so far as known is as follows: William B. Howells, student Amer ican School of Osteopathy; Mrs. W. H. Sht-rbourne, wife of student, School A Osteopathy; James Weaver, Sr., re tired contractor; Theodore Brigham, merchant; Ed Beeman, boy; Mrs. W. W. Green and daughter. Miss Bessie; Mrs. Henry Blliington. A. W. Glasee, Mrs. A. W. Glasee, Mra. Bun Green, Mrs. John Larkin, Sr., Mis. T. Mahaf fey, Mrs. C. Woods, A. Little, Mrs. A. Little, Joe Woods, Mrs. Joe Woods, A. W. Ralnschott, C. A. Gibbs, Mrs. C. A. Gibbs, A. C Beal, James Cunningham, and Mrs. Mitchell. The reported killed are: Mr. Peck. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Stephens, Dr. Bil lings, Colonel Little and family, Mrs. Penschoot and child. The known injured are: Mr. and Mrs. Denlston, Mrs. Hobson, Harry Mitchell, Mary Mitchell, Miss Evans, Sam Wea ver, Will Parks, two Ingalls brothers, Willis Kellogg a-nd Hollis Kellogg. The reported Injured are: Maud Wad dell, Mrs. T. Bullock, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Kirk, A. L. Peal, Wr. S. Smith, George H. Ennons, Mrs. Mlllien, Mrs. A. Miller, Duane Mills, Earnest Mills, Andrew Roberts, Esther Little, Ina Green, William Bragg, Mrs. John Bar ley, A. C. Bowman, Mrs. Mary Rora han, A. T. Cook, Beeman, child, and Aubury Green. Intense darkness prevailed after the cyclone, and the rescurers were at a disadvantage for a short time until fire brokj out In a dozen places in the ruins u.id shed light over the scene. No attempt was made to extinguish the fire, partly because the rescuers had no time and partly because of the need of light. On both sides of the storm's path the debris was piled high and burned fiercely. In all probability a number of bodies have been incin erated. The storm first struck the eastern portion of the city near that part occu pied by the boarding houses of the students of the American School of Oesteopathy, State Normal School and McWard's Seminary. It was Just sup per time for the students, and it is thought very probable the list of dead will be well filled with students, as a large number of these boarding houses were demolished. As far as known these three Institu tions of learning escaped the storm. The storm then went northwest and Wiped out Patterson's nursery, pulling the trees out of the ground and hurling them through the city. A Becond section of the cyclone fol lowed the first, 20 minutes later. It came as an inky black cloud widely distributed and covered the whole town, but passed above the houses, doing no material damage. ANOTHER TOWN STRUCK.

It is reported that 15 people were killed in the city and that many others were killed In the country near there. A great number of buildings were blown down. Heavy rain followed the tor nado, adding greatly to the damage. A Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad bridge Is said to have been washed out. Only a partial list of the casualties can be obtained. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Fifty I'eraon Killed and More Than a Hundred lladly lujtired. KIRKSVILLE, Mo., April 29. As a result of the tornudo that swept through the eastern portion of this city, demolishing half of the residences and other buildings, 200 families are home less and more than 60 dead bodies and 70 injured persons have been recovered from the ruins. More than a dozen of the Injured will die. Although res cuers have been searching the ruins ever since the storm spent Its fury, many are still missing, nnd It Is thought that a considerable number of the unfortunate were consumed In the llames that broke out soon after the storm hal ceased. The work f res cue continues, but it may be d.iys before the total number of victims is known. Tornado In Iowa. ONAWA, la.. April 28. A tornado swept the fanning country 20 mil' s cast of here.
