Destroys Life and Wrecks

By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 24—Late
last night one of the worst wind
storms ever known in this part of the
country swept over the entire north
west section of the state. The storm
was accompanied by rain and sleet, and
the wind developed into a perfect hur
ricane. Country houses were swept
from their foundations and in many
instances demolished. Entire villages
were laid low and the track ot the
storm is strewn with the debris.
Many reports of the loss ot life have
been received, but owing to tiie de
struction of telegraph and telephone
lines communication with the devas
tated section is very meagre and full
details cannot yet be obtaiued. It is
feared that the loss of life and destruc
tion of property is much greater than
is now known.

CARNEGIE URGES
TARIFF REFORM
Steel Magnate Says Infant In
dustries Do not Stand in
Need of Protection.

By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
New York, Nov. iM—Andrew Car
negie issues a statement this morning
strongly urging tarift reform. He
argues that infant industries no longer
! stand in need of protection. He says
! the resources of the country are so
vast and varied that industries can
maintain themselves against the com
petition of the world without the pro
tecting arm of a prohibitive tarift.
The dispatch does not state whether
' or not Mr. Carnegie regards the steel
industry which has grown hoary in its
i infancy as one of the infant industries
that no longer requiaes to be shielded
and nurtured by a protective tarift.lt is
| assumed, however, that if lie considers
the enterprises that are just starting,
capable of maintaining themselves
against the world, lie regards the
rather ancient infant steel industry as
capable of standing alone.

PRINCE CHUN
RULES RY FORCE
Women not Allowed to Partici

Lawless Are Beheaded.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Pekin, Nov. 24—Prince Chun rules
as regent in the place ot the newly
chosen emperor Puyii. An armed
force of soldiers stands guard at the
imperial palace gates.
There was great opposition to the
appointment of Puyii to the throne.
The people object to a government by
| proxy and demanded an emperor who
j could rule in his own stead, believing
jthatoulyin that way could they be
sure of a vigorous and righteous rule
| The placing of Puyii on the throne
: with Prince Chun as regent led to an
! uprising which threatened a revolu
tion. The city of Pekin was at once |
: placed under martial law and the se
j verest penalties imposed upon disturb
i ers of the peace. All those engagedin
! any kind of lawlessness are summarily
| beheaded. Since the rule of Prince
Chun began the sword of the execu
tioner has been in constant use and
the place of execution continually wet
with the blood of those paying the!
penalty of their lawlessness,
j Since the death of the empress
i dowager an edict has been issued by
! the government prohibiting women
from interfering in any manner with
the government or taking any part
therein. With the passing of the
empress dowager China determined to
j free herself from feminine dominion
j and is adopting most strenuous
methods to accomplish her purpose.

HENEY ISSUES
A STATEMENT
Prosecuting Attorney Thanks
Providence for Speedy Re
covery From Wound.
By Cable to Tlie Daily Gateway.
San Francisco, Nov. 24—Prosecuting
Attorney Francis J. Heney is rapidly
recovering from the wound that he re
ceived last week at the hands of his
would-be assassin, Morris Hass. This
morning he issued a statement thank
ing Providence that he still lives and
is in a fair way to recover from the
dangerous wound received. He says
he is especially grateful for the pros
pect of life because he wants to prose
cute the graft cases to a tinish.
The prosecution of these cases has
been especially difficult owing to the
hold which the grasters have upon the
city, and it has required just such a
vigorovs prosecutor to deal with them.
Mr. Heney says that owing to his
intimate knowledge of these cases he
feels that it would be a distinct loss
to good government if he were not per
mitted to continue the prosecution,
hence this public expression of grati
tude for the prospect of speedy re
overy.
