A word about some minor buildings. A
small cottage near the Eiffel tower is given
up to the state manufactures. Here you learn
why in France the matches and tobacco are
SO poor. The telephone pavilion attracts
many people and will tend to render more
popular this wonderful invention, which is
now making its way rapidly in this country
The Theatre des Folies Parisiennes, not far
from the tower, is always full. 1t is of the
cafe chantant class, and its great attraction
is Paulus, the famous comic singer, who

We have now visited the chief buildings and
principal objects of interest of the exhibition
But still another visit should be paid at
night, for then the Trocadero gardens and
the Champ de Mars are lighted by electricity
and everything presents a new and peculiarly
attractive appearance. You would scarcely
believe that you are on the same grounds and
seeing many of the same things as a few
hours before In daylight. The fountains are
sparkling and brilliant as diamonds. The
flower beds have assumed new and fantastic
colors. The grass has changed its hue and
the trees have assumed all shades of green

Nor does the exhibition end at the high
fences which surround it's extensive grounds
Its influence has spread throughout the
whole city. Never was Paris in prettier dress
than today. In early spring everybody began
painting and cleaning their houses and hotels.

SCOTS OFFER DECLINED.

Starving Miners of Spring Valley Not Yet
Forced to the Millionaire's Terms.
SIZING VALLEY, ILL.,, Sept. 9.-Theminers
held mass-meeting to-day and declined to
accept Mr.. Scott's offer of 15-cent reduc-
tion, which. they say. with the terms pro-
posed, is really a reduction of IS cents a
tom Resolutions were adopted denOuncing
Mr.. Scott's proposition as both unjust and
unreasonable, as the nlen could not make
bare subsistence on the terms offered. and
declaring that it had not been sufficiently
demonstrated that there is any reason or
necs sssity for such reduction.
The resolutions declare that the men are
ready and willing to resume work on the
same terms as have been accepted by the
Streator miners-a reduction of Tl2 cents q
ton, with the same conditions as last year,
the operators charging nothing for house
rent during the lockout, and furnishing
coal to miners at cost. Resolutions were
also drafted to be presented to the Gov
ernor, inviting him to make personal in
vestigation, and setting forth that the
Spring Valley company, after having in
duced men to come here and buy property and
securing the payment of the same by mort
gage, and also offering inducements to mer-
chants to come here after getting the mines
fairly developed, had shut down indefi-
nitely, leaving the miners and others who
had invested here in o state of bankruptcy;
also, appealing for aid, and asking that
portion Of the emergency fund be given to
the suffering people here, and requesting
that a special session of the Legislature be
called.
The miners appointed committee to no.

general manager that no committee or

BISHOP NEwMAN's VIEWS.
Strong Assertions Upon the Race Question of
! the South and the Immigration Problem.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Bishop Newman, of
Omaha, addressed the Methodist ministers
at their meeting in the Methodist Church
Block on the subject of the race problem in
the South. and the work of the Methodist
Church in solving it. The speaker told Of
his late trip through the country. and gave
several graphic illustrations of his expert
ences. Ignorance and fanaticism were to
blame for much of the I'LL feeling, he said,
but, contrary to general belief. the igncr-
ance and fanaticism were as much on one
side as on the other. The colleges for the
colcred people were doing q wonderful
amount of good. and prominent Southern
statistican admitted that there are now
4baS the peops This
largely due to the efforts of the Methodist
Church in pushing education among the
negroes. The speaker said he called on the
Governor of South Carolina, and had long
time. that the Methodists were not work
ing for social equality for the negroes, but
for full political recognition.
"He complained said the Bishop, "of
the terrible strain of the conflict engendered
by the race prejudice. 1 told him that he
had q comparatively easy problem. You of
the South said, have only your native
born people to contend with. while we in
the North have all Europe. i would rather
a thousand times be a Southerner and have
the race problem TO grapple with than to be
here in Chicago and the North and be con-
fronted with these vast hordes of ignorant
foreigners who are swarming over here to
take possession. look forward to the time,
and l. hope 1T is not far distant, when we
can stand up and firmly say. No foreign
born citizen shall hencefortE have place
in the legislative conduct of this country
Bishop Newman's remarks were received
with applause, but were not discussed.

FOUR HUNDRED pERIsHING.
Village Of Miners Thought to Be Lost in the
Dreary Alaskan Waste.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. o.-In few weeks,
possibly, the country may hear accounts Of
terrible privation, and, perhaps, death,
among party of 400 miners. They are
locked upin the black wilderness of Alaska,
and believed to be without food. Yester-
day q woman received from her son a let
ter written nearly year ago. It was brief.
and ran: 81 am alive, dear mother, but am
buried under snow and ice. far up on the
Yukon river" The party originally left
juneau with the purpose of going beyond
that post. The highest point of navigation
is Juneau, which is q trading point at
whiCh regular San Francisco packets touch.
After crossing ranges of mountains and
masy rapids, the valley of the Yukon'is
reached. Within this valley there is a vii
lags composed of 400 men. who have already
passed one winter in the terrible solitude.
They have sent word that unless they
could realize the hope of rescue during the
approaching month all would be lost. They
thai misunderstanding must exist, for it
is well known that several miners have
started with sledges and dogs across the
northern country with just sufficient pro-
visions to last them through September,
the gravest doubt in this city as to how
many of the miners took the northward
course with hope of meeting q steamer in
time to save themselves. The Rush left in
the middle of last May for Point Barrow in
order to restore this station, which had
been swept away by the winds. The
stesmer, however, would leave there be-
fore the miners could possibly arrive.
The steamer st. Paul left this city
Thursday last for ST. Michael. with no
other purpose in view than to rescue the
miners who have been led to believe that
their only succor rested in descending the
Yukon. All who have gone north to the
Arctic will surely be lost while those who
float down the Yukon may be saved by the
st. Paul. They are in a country which, in
winter. is one Of the coldest and dreariest
that can be imagined, and where nothing
tha5will support life can be found. If the
men do not succeed in reaching the mouth
of tie Yukon on the coast. their chances of
surviving are small indeed, as they have no
provisions If they fail to reach the sea-
shofe they will surely. perish, for no assist
anct can reach them"

Ten Men Caught by Burst of Water in the
White Ash Shaft, Near Golden, Col.

GOLDEN, Col. Sept. 9.-One of the most
serious and saddest mining accidents ever
known In this portion of the State occurred
late this afternoon in the White Ash
coal mine, near this place. An old,
abandoned mine runs alongside the
White Ash, and has for months been
full of water, which to-day, with
out moments warning, burst through
into the White Ash mine, filling
it full of mud and water. Ten miners are
known to have been at work in the White
Ash mine at the time of the accident, and
not one of them could have lived i've min
utes after the surging mass broke in upon
them 1t will take between two and three
weeks before their bodies can be reached.
In the excitement only three of the names
can be learned tonight: A. NJ. Allen.
John Murphy, and Jack Nor
gan. There are besides three
brothers and four other men, making to-
tai of ten who are positively known to have
perished. Work will be commenced at
once by hundreds of willing hands in order
to pump the mine out. Some of the men
leave families who were dependent upon
them.

with Contractor Samuel Strong.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-Th-re was fur
flying scene in the equity court this morn
ing, in which Gen. Benjamin +. Butler fig
ured. General Butler has for years been
the attorney of Samuel Strong. who has a
large claim against the government. An
award of $4,000 was recently given Strong
on his claim, and Butler filed suit for $780,
600 of the amount as his share of the money
advanced and as part of his fees. He pro-
duced a contract signed by Strong allowing
him that sum. Strong said Butler had
locked him up in a room and forced
him to sign the contract, which
he pronounced a forgery. Strong's at
torney also produced a contract signed
by Butler. and the latter instantly
pronounced his own name a forgery. The
running comments between the attorneys
for Strong and Gen. Butler were caustic and
sensational With tears in his eyes, Butler
pleaded for an alteration in the record
which would not show the charge of forgery
denounced Strong In bitter terms, branding
him as a forger and declaring that he
ought to be behind the bars of a prison.
Strong's attorney SAID that if il were not
for ins.rmities brought upon his witnesses
the gates of the penitentiary would open
for BENJAMIN Butler. Sixty days time was
finally given for the production of desired
testimony on the charge of forgery brought
by both sides.

SEISMIC PHENOMENON.
Wisconsin Paper-Mills Jolted Out Of Shape by
Peculiar Upheaval of Bedrock.

APPLETON. Wis. Sept. 9.-There was re-
markable occurrence at the mills of the
Combined Locks Paper Company at Com
bined Locks, five miles below Appleton, on
Saturday. From some unknown cause
there was an upheaval of rock upon which
the mills are located, throwing the mill
walls out of plumb. cracking a great wall
of stone and cement twenty feet thick, and
making saddle-back several hundred feet
long and six inches high in the bedrock
beneath the mill. An artesian well two
hundred feet away on the bluff has dried
up. The damage to the mill and machinery
will probably amount to several thousand
dollars The upheaval is thought to have
tween the seams of rock beneath. panic
occurred among the mill operatives at the
time Of the shake-up. but nobody was hurt
in the stampede from the mill.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, Ind, Sept. 9.-The outlook for
the White Caps who whipped Mrs. Asenth
Street and her daughter. some time ago. in
Monroe township. is neither rose-hued nor
silver-lined. The arrest of the members of
the gang, some time ago, on the charge of
assault and battery, was but preliminary
step. The indictments just returned by
the grand jury are not for assault and bat
terry, but for conspiracy and felonious riot.
This offense is punishable by imprisonment
in the penitentiary. During the past two
days the sheriff and his deputies
have been busy gathering in the
men previously arrested for assault
and battery. and bond on this more serious
charge was demanded and given. At least
one of the men who gave bond In the sum
of 5000 for assault and battery, has skipped
the country. The following are those who
have been arrested and placed under bond
for conspiracy, etc.: James Cassler, John
Oliver, Joseph Maddox, Daniel Carr. Geo.
Green, Lawrence Woodland. Ezra Farr,
James Woodland. James McMillen. William
Cassler and William Oxley. The men ar
rested are residents of Blackf0rd, Wells
and Grant counties. The majority Of them
are highly-reputable farmers and the heads
of families. Their trial will be watched
with the keenest interest.

The City Gaily Decor. Historical Interest
Of the Trad ID, Display.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 9-The six days cele-
bration of the anniversary of the defense of
Baltimore in The second war with Great
Britain commenced here to-day. The
events to be celebrated were of national
Importance, and the fact that one of them,
the bombardment of Fort McHenry, in
spired that patriotic outburst in singing
the "Star-spangled Banner" is sufficient of
itself to give to the Baltimore festival the
national interest which has been recog-
nized in the participation of President Har-
rison, and the efforts of the War and Navy
Departments to contribute to its success.
The whole city is elaborately ana artistic
ally decorated. Stars and stripes are dis
played everywhere in preference to the
black and orange of "Oriole" times but still
the orange and black fill important subor-
dinate places.
The parade started from Broadway at 10
o'clock in the morning, and passed through
the city and on to Pimlico. 1t consisted of
six grand divisions, first of which was a
"war float" representing the battle of
North Point. The next four consisted or
military and civic societies, and last came
the trades and railroad display, in which
the private exhibits evinced much origi-
nality. One float alene cost $4,000, and
half dozen others cost 81 .0C0. each. Fore
most among them were six floats of the
Baltimore g. Ohio railroad, giving COM
plete historical sketch of that great corpora
tion from its earliest organization to the
present. beginning with a passenger coach
drown by single horse; the application of
horsepower to railway cars two years
later; the double-deck sleeper run between
pelled by horsesj; the sail car conceived by
Evan Thomas in 1929; the Page electric mo-
tor of 1851, and the latest, most improved
and thoroughly equipped .yestIbule cars.
