Oyolone in Nebraska.
HOMAHA, June 13th. The town of Herman, in Blair county, is to night a mass of ruins. The catastrophe is the result of a tomado that swept down on the place this evening. Only two buildings remain standing, small buildings, and the public school, and buried in the ruins are most of the inhabitants. The dead number two score at least. It is feared that daylight will dawn on a still greater number of corpses. There is - nothing but conjecture as to the number of wounded, but the last news indicates that handly

unson in the devastated town escaped
The storm descended when mast of the people were in their homes at the supper table. There was no warning. Destruction came al- most with the speed of lightning. In an instant the prosperous and contented hamlet had been turned into a charnel-house. Whole families lay dead. Whole households had passed to elemnity together. The force of the wind was such that scarcely one piece of any of the many structures destroyed was left intact, The scene in the streets is appalling, Wreck ed buildings and broken furniture, scarcely recognizable in its dilapidated-condition, are strewn all around, while bodies lie in many places, the corpses badly disfigured, and some of them hardly recognizable. Harman is thirty- five miles from Omaha, and is situated on lowlands between the river and the bluffs which define the west bank of the Missouri river for miles. The census gives the town n popolation of joo, but it has grown to nearly twice that number. There were no larke struc- tures"in the villago, aud not to exceed half of "these, were brick buildings. The schoolhouse

The Alaskan Question.
WASHINGTON, June toth, Canada will have to back down from her demand for a free port at Pyramid harbour or any other point in Ataska. A Cabinet officer stated, today that the President and Cabinet were a unit upon this point, and no amount of cajolery or offer of concessions elsewhere upon the part of the Dominion Government would suffice to change the stand the Administration has taken. If this Government had been willing to accede to Canada's demand the Alaska boundary would have been settled by the Joint High Commission last winter and probably also the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the Eastern fisheries as well, for Canada seemed willing to give almost anything in reason, so much store does she set by the Alaska free port. It is said that at one time this Government offered to give British subjects equal privileges with Americans at some port of Alaska, but this being then rejected will not be renewed,
WASHINGTON, June 12th.
Washington is still waiting on London in the matter of a modus vivendi on the Alaskan boundary. It is said that the intimation has reached here that the Canadians, to whom the last American proposition was referred, have consented to its acceptance by the British Go vemment, but officially nothing is known here of this. The contested point is trifling, involv. ing a strip less than half a mile wide and bear ing upon the tide water question.

At a largely attended meeting of peers, com- moners, engineers and others held this evening in the House of Commons a resolution was adopted to address a petition to the First Lord of the Treasury, Arthur J.

Two negroes, were lynched at Dunncion last night by a mob of their own colour. Some weeks ago Saturday the negro was captured and returned to Durinelon, when, it is supposed, some negroes were employed to take him down the river and drown him.

CHICAGO, June 11th
A special to the Chronicle from Omaha, Neb, saya: Paul Vandervoort has received a letter from President McKinley, acknowledging the receipt of his letter offering to take to Cuba a great colony of old soldiers of both the blue and the gray, whose presence shall be a guarantee against the outlawry practiced by some of the Cuban hands.

Conan Doyle's Comedy..
A NEW YORK, June feth. A London cable to the Sun spy: A sweet and wholesome domestic comedy is Conan Doyle's first effort as a dramatist. It is entitled Halves," and was produced at the Garrick Theatre to-night. The piece is as modest and unpretentious as the author himself, who evidently attempts playwriting with diffidence, but while Halves" does not pretend to be a great play, it is in refreshing contrast to some of the recent risque productions of more famous dramatists. More ihan this, it was well acted und well received. Brandon Thomas and James Welch, in the characters of two brothers who met according to promise after twenty-five years to divide their fortunes, carried the piece to a successful climax.

The late Ali had been sick for several moxins and life was prolonged only through the careful attendance of Drs. Herbert and
Humphries who did all in the power of medical science to preserve the life of the royal lady, or at least alleviate her sufferings.
Queen Kapiolani went to sleep this morning, the sleep from which there is na awaking. She passed away without a struggle or pain to join the beloved friends who have gone before. death message was sent to them and a large The Hawaiians ware sally grieved when the

When the news of the death of Her Majesty reached the Executive the flags on the govern ment buildings were immediately lowered at half mast and the services of the police depart ment placed at the disposal of these having charge of the funeral, which probably will take place about three weeks from today. The representatives of the foreign powers were notified of the sad event and at once placed their flags at half mast.
Arrangements are being made for the erection of a suitable building in which the romains of the noble Alii can lie in state and receive the homage which Hawaiians and for eigners alike will offer to her memory Independent.

Mr. Harrison said he thought there would be in four days work enough for ordinary men, and he evoked a general smile, as fooking around on the general gathering of the most eminent jurists of Great Britain and America, he added: “And we are ordinary men." The work before them," he added,, would be a tremendous strain upon the counsel. Profes- sor Martens thereupon agreed that four days

The representative of Great Britain then took up the terms of the treaty of arbitration, and laid great stress on the British contention that there is a contract between Venezuela and Great Britain and not between the Spaniards and the Dutch, The tribunal, he contended, had to decide the boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana at the present time, and not between the Spaniards and Dutch in 1814. Counsel then said that in order to clear up any misunderstanding he announced, that Great Britain recognized Venemein as the successor of Spain and he submitted that the boundary, as it might have been settled in 1814, was not the same as ought to be defined to-day.
Respecting the fifty years title clause Great Britain submitted that tought to run back from the date of the conclusion of the treaty of arbitration, Counsel was adverse to holding that PARIS, June 13th. fifty years ought to constitute a title whatever The first formal meeting of the Venezuela might be the paramount title of the other.
