It seems certain that the number of dead nnd wounded will amount to fully 1,000, and the damage clone 10 minions of dollars. The city hospital, which fortunately sur vived the storm, la tilled to overflowing with mangled men, wom"n and children, anil the morgue within two hours after the end of the storm, wa so full of corpses that it was necessary to provide other quarters for the reception of the dead. In addition to those who were killed In their houses and In the streets, hundreds of dead are beneath the waters of the Missis sippi river. Of all the steamers on the levee when the storm broke out but one Is now afloat. All the others have gone down. In many Instances every soul on board Is lost, and In others not two or three were able to reach a place of safety. The center of the city Is a wreck. Many buildings have been demolished nnd others partially wrecked. The streets are utterly impassable to street cars, and In many places progress on foot la a matter of great dim cult y. , , To add to the horrors of the night the elec tric light plants were rendered Incapable of service, and the gas lamps also shut off, leav ing the city in total darkness. l ire also broke out in several portions of the cltv, nnd the fire department waa unable to mnke an effective tight because of the choked-up condition of the streets, ana tne large number of firemen who were engaged in the imperative work of rescuing the dead and wounded. , , The driveway of Eads bridge from the low . er to the first pier on the Kast Ht.

Another message says: The most terrlflfl wind ever encountered In the Mississippi val ley struck the western rnrt of Ht I.ouis, and cut Its wnv right through the most densely populated and important part of the city, . then whirled across the river and finished up Its work in East Ht. Louis. Across the river the whole western portion of East Ht. Louis suffered greatly, and all communica tion with the city and outside points was cut oil. It is impossible to even approximate the loss of life. It Is variously put at from M to l.W The city bears the appearance of having been shelled by an enemy. In some places structures have beon entirely destroyed, while in others high, logged walls stand a constant menace to nassersbv. At Milan, which is In Sullivan county, no damage was done, but between it and the city a down small towns were destroyed, and nbout which no Information can be se cured. Venice and Namlokl, villages Just outside of Ht. Louis, were totally destroyed, and a great loss ef life Is reported from them. The storm was circular. The day had been verv hot. with clouds in the west anil no wind. About 6 o'cloek the massing of the clouds, one upon tha other, on the western nortron, gave some warning oi inn w nomine, but not one has lo'en found who np prebcuiled at that time anything worse than a nam tnunaer storm. Hnddnnlv out of the cloud bank came whlrllnu funnel which dinned to tho earth. The storm was then east of Clnyton, a small town a short distance from Ht. Louis. In the Incredible time of five minutes it had traversed the distance from the western limits of this city to its heart, and there it raged. " The high buildings served to confine It.and until they were destroyed there was no ohanoe for its escape. The river was literallv raised from Its bed. with the hdndreds of boats that were plying ' lip and down the river or were moored at the wharves. Where the crossing was made to . rat Rt.

Louis at 20, 000,000. and the average damage caused by this series of storms at tho Immense sum of (60,000,000. The convention auditorium was practi cally uninjured by the great storm of yester day, the only damage being that some light roof covering on the southeast oornr of the building was blown oft. The damage can be repaired In a very few days. There is not the slightest doubt but that the building will be perfectly restored and he In flrst-oloas condition long before the day the convention Is to meet T. E. Byrnes, ' Sergeant at Arms.

The storm struok at tha big elevators, 80C yards below the Ends bridge, followed tha river to the Eads bridge, started diagonally towards the Belay depot and continued on to Collinsvllle avenue, then lifted and dropped again at the National Stock yard.

As soon as the Journal had been rend, Mr, Howard, whose seat Is In a remote corner ot the hall, arose dramatically In the center nisle and flourishing a paper In his hand de manded to he henrd on the resolution which he sent to the clerk's desk. The resolution was as follows: "I do Impeach Orovcr Cleveland, presi dent of the United Htatea, of high crimes and misdemeanors on the following grounds: 1. That he has sold, or directed the sale, of homls without authority of law. 2. That he sold, or aided In the sale of, bonds at less than their mnrket value. 8. That he directed the misappropriation of the proceeds of said bond sales. 4.

The loss of life exceeds 1,800 and the Injured number several thousand. The Czar ordered thBt 1,000 rouble be paid each family thnt has lost a member through the casastrophe. In addition, the Htate will pay the the expenses of burying the dead, while the physicians at the hospitals and else where have been Instructed to spare nothing to alleviate the sufferings of the Injured. Although the official report places the number of dead at 1,1:18, It Is probable that the exact number of victims will never be known. The vice-mayor reckons thnt 1.8H8 persons were killed nnd 28 fatally Injured. The official eceouuts do not Include many dead nnd Injured who were removed by friends. At the VeirnnkofTskv cemetery alone the number of dead exceeded the official tlgure, 1.2H2 bodies being there. Thirty bodies were found In an old disused well In the middle of the Hoydynsky plain, ected to ascertain whether these charges are covered w ith planks, which collnpsed when true and if so to report to the house such action by Impeachment or otnerwise, as shall be proper in the premises. And said committee snail have authority to send for persons and papers. When the clerk ceased reading Mr. How ard, who hnd risen to addresstho house was suddenly taken ofT the floor by Mr. Dlngley, the floor leader of the majority, who raised the question of consideration against the resolution. The question was promptly put bv the sneaker, and bv a practically unani mous vote the house refused to give Mr. Howard a hearing. The house then settled down to dull routine.

The big hall, which has been tit ted up at considerable expense for the occasion, was handsomely decorated with tlags.Chlnese lanterns and other decorations, and, so far as appearance were concerned, everything looked In keeping with the occasion. The platform seemed out of pro portion In sine to the rest of th hall, but when the Saengerfest choruses take poses slon ot it, week after next, it will be none too large.

The Senate today passed the lost of tha IS general appropriation bills. It Is known a the general dellulency bill, and carries all tha onus and ends which could not be put into any other measure.

The "filled" cheese bill came on before th Senate under the lead of Senator Sherman. Its object Is to discourage the manufacture and sale ot adulterated cheese by imposing a neavy license on the manufacturer ana wholesale dealers. The bill had not been long before the Senate when It was converted from a nominal to an actual revenue meas ure by an amendment proposing an addi tional tax of 75 cents a barrel on beer, ale and porter. Mr. Sherman antagonised th amendment a something that was Intended to defeat the pending measure, and he moved to lay the amendment on the table. Tbla motion was dereatea oy a yea ana nay vow, 25 to 80, and Mr. Dubois' amendment wn discussed until the conclusion of the morning hour, when the prohibitory bond bill cam up.
