Wind and Rain Storm Flay
, Great Havoc in Missouri,

Chicago, Ills., June 25. The West
ern Union Telegraph Company is in
receipt of news that a terrific wind and
rain storm, which apparently started in
the vicinity of Kansas City, is now rag
ing in northwestern Missouri, and oyer
the entire State of Iowa, in a large
portion of Illinois and sections of
Michigan. Wires are prostrated in
every direction, fcnd but few telegraph
ic points' can be reached. The wind
amounts almost to a tornado, and ap
pears to be raoidlv annroachiner this
city, which it will reach, from present
appearances, in about two hours.
Later. About 1:20 p. no. the storm
struck this city with great force, and
during the twenty minutes that itlastedj
vast amount of ram fell, and
considerable damage was done. The
wind blew with great fury, overturning
teams and 'busses, demolishing
signs, breaking glass and doing
other injury. Basements were
in some instances flooded a foot deep,
owing to the inadequacy of the sew
ers. No los3 ef life has vet
been reported.

Washington Notes and Appoint
ments.
Washington, June 25. An interest-
ing interview between uoionei iteat
ing, the editor of the Memphis Appeal,
and the President, is published. It was
statistical in its character. The Presi
dent thought that the people of the
South should encourage the immigra-
gration of vigorous and enterpris
ing men of the North. Col. Keating
thought so too.
General Dockery, who has been in
Washington some days, manipulating
North Carolina affairs, unsuccessfully
hbweverjln the case of Ilyman, left
for home highly satisfied.
District Attorney Lusk, of North
Carolina, has arrived with witnesses in
Deputy Marshal Franks' fraudulent
voucher cases. . Thf se cases are inter
esting as a test, the same looee practice
haying prevailed throughout the
North.

Bosto:.-. VfASS-i June 25. A fire broke
out in Mmblehead at 2 o'clock this
morning, nd swept away nearly the
entire business portion of the town
It began in the stable of the Hathaway
House, and is believed to be incendia
ry. All the large shoe manufactories,

were mostly large wooden buildings,
filled with machinery, and furnishing
employment to hundreds of men and
women, who are thrpwn out. of em

pbt seven passenger and a number of
freight cars were burned, urer .iony

The Prince of Montenegro Shot
by his own Soldiers.
London, June 25. A dispatch to
the Standard from Constantinople, via
Athens, says : "The Chamber of Dep
uties in secret session has voted for the
continuance of the war, a V outrance,
even if all Europe Combines against
Turkey."
A telegram to the St andard from Ccn
stantinople direct, asserts that Dervish
Pasha, on Saturday attacked the Rus
sians, investing Batoum and drove
them from the heights.
The Standard Vienna correspondent
says that it is stated that notes have
been exchanged between Austria and
England as to the character and signifi
cance of the measures of preparation
decided upon by these two States. The
Times' Athens dispatch says : "The
news of the passage of the Danube has
strengthened the war party. A battery
of mountain artillery have already left
for Lunia on the frontier, and another
will leave immediately for Kuraranseri.
There is a general movement of troops."
The Times' correspondent at Cit
tinji telegraphs : "The Turkish losses
are absolutely incalculable. All Sun
day afternoon the artillery and rifles
have been firing on the column as it
moves down the valley. The pursuit
will be kept up until the column
reaches the protection of the guns of
Spuz, while it still has to run the gaunt
let of the' Plamenatzs division at Mur
tinit." The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says : "The Montenegrins are
said to have lost almost one-seventh
of their forces. Especially the insur
gents appear to have suffered very
severely. Numbers of the Montene
grins are beginning to cross over to
Cotlaro and Budna, so that it has been
thought advisable to strengthen the cr
clon along the frontier."
The Daily News' Ibrail correspondent
telegraphing Friday, sends long de
tails explaining how the crossing was
effected. The Russians at Ibrail com
pleted the bridge undisturbed by the
Turks. "Every one understood on
Thursday that the prossiug was post
poned, both on account of the delay in
the Czar's arrival, and because a large ,
brce of Turkish troops had been dis
covered in anibusb, not far from the
bridge. However, Gen Zimmerman
suddenly disappeared from Ibrail du- '
ring the night. This morning a little
after daybreak, the people of Ibrail
were awakened by the sound of artillery
and musketry on the other side of the
river, showing that the Danube must
have been crossed. Gen Zimmerman
had gone to Galatz and crossed the
Danube with two regiments of infant
ry, and a proportionate amount of ar
tillery and cavalry, in a number ef
boats towed over by steam launches,
The distance traversed in the boats
seems to have been over three miles;
the Turks seem to have made a very
stubborn resistance."
The latest advices from the Danube
show some bloody, but no serious or
determined opposition to the crossing,
either at Ibrail er Galatz.
A special dispatch from Bucharest
to the Times, dated Monday, says:
"Preliminary operations on the Danube
have commenced in earnest. The
bombardment continues along the
whole line to-day. The Turks are re
ported to be preparing to concentrate
their forces on the lower Danube."
The fall of Tultcha and Sulina can
not be far distant, as the Turkish forces
occupying these points are cut off from
their lines of communication and re
inforcements."
A special dispatch from Vienna to
the News confirms the foregoing.
A Vienna dispatch also says the next
crossing will probably be at Trencu
Magureli in a few days. Thus the
Russians can outflank from two sides,
at least two strong fortresses of the
quadrilateral, besides cutting the con
nections of Shumla.
A Vienna dispatch ta the second
edition of the Standard eavs it is re
ported that tne Prince oi Montenegro
has been killed by his infuriated sol
diers in consequence of the recent
serious cefeats. The report is uncon
firmed, but Prince Nicholas' where
abouts have been unknown for a week.
