LMlt it: if Ihe I rii f v.iiod ol the first
rainfall the temperature dropped 21 de
grees. For I hive minutes the wind
reached a velocity of thirty miles an
hour, driving the rain in sheets. It was
this guest of wind that wrecked so
much property. The estimate of the
total damage tun anywhere from $100,
Oi'iii to ffl.uoo.ono In Allegheny county.
At McDonald, Pa., last night the rain
fail was unprecedented. Small runs
were quickly turned to raging rivers,
which swept all before tneni. The
streets of McDonald were swept dean
of boardwalks, which -lodge against a
bridge spanning an ordinarily small
creek Just below town. This backed up
the water until the lower portion of Mc
Donald was for a time Inundated. No
lives were lost, but the damage to prop
erty .will be heavy. Several coal mines
In the vicinity of McDonald were Hood
ed. Near Cecil, three miles southeast,
six bodies have been recovered from the
debris I iv Cecil valley. Oil wells and
shanties, occupied by the oil workers
and pioducers, are thickly strewn along
Cecil. Samuel McK inney's house was
swept away, carrying witn It his wife,
aged fiO years; his son James, aged 8,
and daughter Margaret, aged HO years.
M'es Jane dolmen, aged IS, daughter of
a miner; Clide Ream, J. O. liaden and
Charles Wilkinson, oil pumpers, were
also drowned. All of the bodies have
been recovered gave that of Miss Mc
Kinney. A house occupied by sixteen
miners near the Uentllns mines, six
miles from McDonald, was swept away
and all of the Irimates were drowned.
Five of the bodies have been recovered.
One man was rescued alive from the
branches of a tree in which he had
lodged. He had not yet regained con
sciousness when last heard from. All
of the men were foreigners, mostly Ital
ians, employed in the mines of t lie W.
P. Rend Co.. and the Kidgeway Bishop
Coal company. The damage to mine
and oil property will be heavy.
All over the cities of Pittsburg and
Allegheny traffic was suspended.
IN TIIK MILL, DISTRICTS.
In the mill districts nlong the Alle

toppled over by the force of the wind,
and in a number of instances wrecking
the buildings on which they fell. Scarce

passable and delayed cam began to go,
when the night deluge came on. This,
In point of downpour, was even worse
than the evening Hood. The hlg;h wind
was absent, however, but the heavens
were almost continuously light with
terrifying flashes of lightning und the
roll of thunder was continuous. The
storm continued with slowly diminish
ing energy until midnight. At noon to
day the body of an unknown man, evi
dently a victim of last night's storm,
was found In the Ohio rver just below
the city.
.Reports from the districts surround
ing the cities detail the destruction of
buildings, death of farm stock and
much damage to crops and fruit.
All the railroads entering the city
suffered a considerable damage and de
lay. The Haltimorc and Ohio railway
Is apparently the worst sufferer. Trainn
from above Kureka, on the main line,
were unable to get through from last
evening up to noon today. The through
trains from the east are expected this
evening. The delay was caused by a
landslide near Kureka. A large culvert
at Port Royal was also washed out
and had to be bridged over before trains
could proceed.
'At Clokeyvllle, "on the Hattlmore nnd

Washington, July 28. -The weather
bureau crop bulletin for the week end
ed yesieiday contains the following
general remarks:
In the stales of the Central vale ys
and on the Atlantic anil ast gulf coasts
the weel: has been very favorable for
till growing crops, but excessive rains
have to some extent retarded farm
work, thrashing pirllcularly, and
caused moth Injury to grain In utock.
10 avy rains have also Injured crops in
the Ohio valley, especially In West Vir

very destructive. Drought continues
in Northern Michigan, lntislana, Ar
kansas, nnd In a few of the south west-

fered to some extent from the heavy
rains In the states of the Ohio and cen
tral Mississippi valleys and drought

Louisiana und Texas, the general out
look for an exceptionally line crop con
tinues promising. In Kansas much of
the crop Is new mr.de. and In Nebraska

is moving his forces ulong the north
eoust and toward M irlel.. the northern
extremity of the military line across
that province. Antonio Maceo Is said
to be moving his forces along the north
coast and toward Muriel, which leads
people to believe thai hi; contemplates
attempting to cross the military llti"
near Mariel, and that ticueral Amies
is taking steps to pi event him from so
duing.
A numerous band of insurgents under
Xuyus, all well armed, Is reported to be
moving In the vicinity of the planta
tion of Kajardo, in the Quire de Melena
district of the province of Havana, and
to Intend muking a feint of attack up
on the southern portion of the military
line and from the t ustward In order to
enable Maceo to deliver his attack
from the westward by distracting the
attention of the Spanish troops. Firing
lias been heard at several points along
the military line, and it Is believed to
have been caused by further efforts of
the insurgents to draw upon them the
attention of us iiumy Spanish troops as
possible, while Macea's forces catitinue
their movements toward Mariel.
An Important engagement has been
fought between Oenerul Linares and
the Insurgent forces under Callxto fiur
cin, in which the Spanish losses were
udmittedly heavy. (bneral Linares
set out from Ramon da los Yasruas on
July 23. having learned that the forces

Sautana. fighting as they went. "Jhere
the' Insurgents entrenched themselves.
Kurly on the 24th the insurgents under
took un offensive movement by at
tempting to turn the right wing of the
Spanish column. They attacked with
vigor, and hard fighting ensued. They
made nn oltstlnate stand and refused
to give back before the Spanish. The
attack was finally repulsed by u bayo
net charge by the Spanialds. led by
Colonel Huzon, with four companies
assisted by Uencrnl Linares, with two
companies and two plecs of nrtlllery.
The Insurgent position was taken, and
at the same time Col inel Rubin, with
four companies, made an attack on
their ihtnk and put them to Might.
The" official report states that the
troops sustained a loss of nine killed,
while Lieutenant of Cavalry Mazo and
thirty-five soldiers were wounded,
eighteen of them seriously. The Insur
gents are reported to have 1 ft seven
killed and to huv? carried away many
dead nnd wounded. In the encamp

lamented the death of Jose Maceo. This

Himself w ith Slinkinix Hands.
Lincoln. Neb., July 28. Senntor Pet
tigrew, of South Dakota, one of the
bolting silver Republicans, was the only
prominent caller at the Hryan residence
todny. He spent some hours with the
nominee talking over the political situ
ation. Mr. Hryan is still silent as tn
his Intention with regard to the Populist
nomination. Opinions here differ as to
what he will do but the general under
standing Is that no decision will be
reached until after Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, has' consulted with
the Populist leaders us to the best
course to pursue. While In Chicago,
Mr. Bryan expressed to the national
Democratic committee his desire to be
guided by their advice, and while he
has his own opinions, he appears will
ing to allow his political advisers to ar
range matters.
Mr. Hryan spent a short time at Dem

ANARCHISTS REJECTED.
Turned Down by the International
Socialists Trades Congress at
LondonLively Debate?.
London, July 2.8. The International
Socialists trades congress met in St.
Martin's town hall today and the ques
tion of the udmlsslon of the Anarchists
ns delegates which yesterday precipi
tated a free tight and caused the chair
man to declare the congress adjourned,
was again taken up Tor final action.
The chair todny was occupied by Merr
Singer, the well known Socialist mem
ber of the German Reichstag, who
speaks Knglisli fluently. After the usu
al preliminaries the congress took up
the question of the admission of the
Anarchists, aglnst which u large ma
jority vote was cast yesterday. Speech
es for and against their recognition as
delegates were made by Jean Jaurea,
a radical Socialist member of the
French chamber of .deputies; Tom
Mann, who wns formerly a member of
the house of commons and several other
properly accredited delegates. The
speakers were very much excited, und
tlnwe for the admission of the Anar
chists, hotly contended that if they were
not admitted the congress would not be
internationally representative in Its
scope, and thut Its decisions nnd con
clusions would not carry the weight
which they would otherwise have.
The opponents of the proposition de
clared with equal spirit that the ndiuiR
Hlon of Anarchists would have the ef
fect of leading the general public to
believe thut the Socialists favored the
Anarchist propaganda, which the
speakers contended was not the case,
(eventually another vote was taken nnd
It was finally decided that the Anar
chists should not be admitted. The
congress then proceeded to the discus
sion of other questions.
ANARCHISTS KEJICCTF.D.
The anarchist woiild-bedelegates were
outside the hall waiting for a decision,
and when It was announced to them
tin y became highly indignant. It wns
finally decided to force an entrance into
the hall, and the decision wns no sooner
arrived at than It wns carried out. A
rush was mnde for the doorkeeners.
who were speedily upse t, and tile crowd
of anarchists made their way to the
gallery. Then arose a perfect babel.
The delegates shouted In their native
tongues, Russian, Polish, French, Ger
man, Italian, Spanish and Knglisli, that
the Intruders should be put out.
Filially, when the voice of a speaker
could lie heard above the din, Tom Mann
nnd James Kler Hurdle addressed the
chair In advocacy of the admission of
one of the anarchists. Other speakers
opposed the proposition, and the argu
ment waxed until it appeared that there
was a decidedly favorable chance of
yesterday's disgraceful scene being re
pented. Herr Singer finally succeeded In ob
taining , a little order and It was then
agreed that properly accredited anarch
ists should be admitted, but should be
allowed to take no part in the debates.
Later nnothor vote was taken and it
was divided to uphold the Zurich reso
lution, which, in effect provides that
anarchists shall not be admitted.
There the question remains at pres
ent. Steamship Arrivals.

GOVERNOR HASTINGS
FOR U. S. SENATOR
Report Put in Circulation That He Is to
Be a Candidate.
HE MAY HAVE QUAY'S SUPPORT
According to. n Philadelphia Paper,
William Council W as Instrumental
iu II ringing the Two Lenders To
gether atod Kstitblishiiig Pence lie
twecu Tlieiu.
Philadelphia, July 28. The Evening
Bulletin says: It may be interesting to
the various cundldates to succeed Don
Cameron as Cnlted States senator to
learn that If arrangements entered into
some months) ugo ure honorably ob
served Governor Hastings stands a
good chance of being; the winner. The
story current today in political circles
is that Colonel Quay pledged the gov
ernor his support, as a part of a bar
gain consummated last fall, the terms
of which are still binding.
Some time after the Litter tight be
tween Quay and (Jilkeson for the state
chairmanship last summer a peace was
established between Senator Quay on
the one part nnd (Jovernor Hastings
and his friends throughout the state,
with the exception of those In Philadel
phia and'AUeglieny, on the other. There
were vai'ioiiH conditions Involved In
this understanding, the one having the
principal bearing on this subject being
that Senator Quay would lend his sup
port to the governor for United States
senator.
Til H ORAL.
Of course the junior senator did not
pledge this assistance without getting
something In return. The intermediary
in the negotiations is said to have been
Wlllium Connell, of Lackawanna, nnd
the agreement entered into by the con
tracting parties was that among other
things Senator Quay would have con
trol of the delegates to the national
convention so far as that could be con
tributed to by Mr. Connell, the gover
nor himself. Secretary of State Heed
er. Leader Leisenrlng in Luzerne, Col
onel Gllkeson, in Bucks, und others of
the governor's friends.
In accordance with this arrangement.
Senator Quay did get these delegates,
with one exception. Colonel Gllkeson
wus unable to carry out the part of
the bargain entrusted to him, and, as it
Is well known, Mr. Kastburn, of Bucks
county, the delegate In question, was
not found among the. senator's follow
ing at the St. Louis convention.
THE BARGAIN IN FORCE.
Friends of Governor Hastings main
tain that this understanding is still In
force. At one stage it would have been
abrogated, in the event of the governor
Kuweitlng by Senator -iuay's inlutnci
In obtaining' the nomination at St.
Louis for vice president. But the
strength of the McKlnley forces upset
this plan as it did various others con
ceived by Senator Quay and the other
antl-McKinley leaders.
It is well known that all attempts
to draw from Senator Quay an expres
sion of preference In regard to Senn
tor Cameron's successor have been
futile. While certain candidates are
Impressed thnt Senator Quay looks fav
orably upon their aspirations. It is cer
tain that he has not in so many words
given any of them cither verbal or
written assurances of support, al
though It is quite possible that he may
have left the whole, thing, so far as
they are concerned, an open question.
If he is actually pledged to the govei
nor, us the governor's friends say he
Is, that at once explains his non-committal
attitude towards the other can
didates. THE HARRIS BHRG VIEW.
Harrlsburg. July 2S. There was a re
vival here today or the story that Gov
ernor Hastings would probably be a
candidate for I'nited States Senator to
succeed Don Cameron, and that he
would have Senator Quay's support.
None of the friends of either Quay or
Hustings who are here would admit that
tluy had any know ledge of the matter.
Auditor General Mylln, who accom
panied Senator Quay to Florida last
spring, says that the senator never
mentioned the matter to him. and that
he Is entirely in the dark as to the sen
ator's wishes concerning who shall suc
ceed Don Cameron. "it Is true," he
said, "thut I have heard on Capital Hill
the name of Hastings mentioned for
I'nited States senator but never an in
timation has come from .Quay ns to w ho
he would like to see g-et the prize."
State Treasurer Haywood, another
close friend of Quay, nnd the man
whose Interview in Washington was the
means of bringing Quay out for the
Presidential nomination, says that the
senator has never Intimated to him his
choice for the t'niteil States senator
ship, and he has an Idea that if Quay
hud a preference- he should at least
communicate It to his friends that Uiey
might get, tn work. ''Thus far." said
Mr. Haywood, "1 Imve done no work
for anybody and have not taken a hand
In any of the legislative contests."
State Chairman Klkln. who has been
with Senator Quay within the past
week, Is inclined to believe that the
senntor has not yet designated w ho' he
will support for the Dnlted States sen
a tni ship. He says that Quay has not
given him the least hint as to whom he
will support.
Governor Hastings Isi out of town nnd
nil his close political friends nre away.
Private Secretary Heitler. when asked
about the matter, declined to say any
thing. Senator Quay is expected here
to see the governor on Thursday, and
it Is possible that this contemplated vis
it Is responsible for a revival of the ru
mor of his candidacy for senator.
