concealing itself among the long
grass, and again springing forward
with his back curved and his head
lowered, as is usual with our cats.
The little boy was unaware OF the
danger in which he was placed. and
became sensible of it only when the
jaguar struck him on the side OF his
head with one of his paws. The blows
thus inflicted were at first slight. but
gradually became ruder; the claws OF
the jaguar wounded the child. ard
blood flowed with violence; the little
girl then took up the branch of a tree,
and struck the animal, which fed be-
fore her. The Indians, hearing the
cries of the children, ran up and saw
the jaguar, which bounded off without
showing any disposition to defend
itself. Geological Notes and Anec-

Gates an increased vote in the city proper,
but shows losses at the smelter, where the
working force has been reduced The
democrats are grstified at the general result
of the registration and count confidently
on large gains. Returns are lacking from
the country districts Of Cascade county, but
il is known that in the districts where
registration was the most difficult the
democratic electors have nobly done their
duty and placed every name on the list.
The issue of first OF second papers o. for
eign born citizens has been large. Both
democrats and republicans have svailed
themselves of the facilities which the
deputy clerks have legally afforded them.
The registry office will be open to morrow.

His solil0quy ou the registration and new
tangled laws was dreary. He outlined the

were preparing for Montana He made
out that the republicans mOnopOlized all

NEW YORK, Sept l4-The storm has at
last blown over. The feeling of business
in shipping circles as to the safety of many
vessels at sea during the storm remains as
keen as ever. Several stetmers and sailing
vessels are overdue, and as Geographic
communication between here and a num-
Der of ports is still cut of, it Is impossible
TO learn anything for the present Com
municatiOn with Sandy Hook is all right
again. No less than a score of storm de-
layed vessels are reported as passed up
towards quarantine. All show evidence OF
having passed through the Storm
pilot boat this morning brought here
the captain and crew, eleven men in all, OF
the German bark Urna, sank in the recent
storm.
BosToN, Sept. I4.-The bark Caterinaer,
from Pensacola. was abandoned, September
l1th. Captain Morton and i've of the crew
were drowned, the remaining seven were

schooner William o. Snow, of Taunton.

The crew were lashed in the rigginRs forty
eight hours before being rescued.
1t is figured roughly that fully S1,2JO OOO

He said:
"As came down on the train this morn
ing read of the sudden death of the Hon.
Samuel sullivan Cox. l cannot speak OF
the admission of the new states without
expressing the profound regret Of our peo-
pie in the loss sustained by the death of
Mr.. Cox. His fame as a statesman, au-
thor and humorlst was not only cOexten-
sive with the limits of this republic. but
the depth and richness of his learning and
the silver tongue of his eloquence
have invaded the orient in their 3on-
quest. Constantinople and the Bosphorus
which knew him so well were always
distinguished diplomat, as typical repre-
sentative of the amenities, the declara-
tioDs and the sturdy progress OF American
civilization. But aside from these consid-
eratioDs, Montana feels a deep and perma
nent loss in the death of Mr.. Cox. His
splendid championship of our cause for
statehood will ever be to us an inspiring
memory. His long experience in public
life, his wide acquaintance with men and
affairs, as well as his liberal and progres-
sive thought, suggested him ct once as emil
Dently at to command the forces and lead
the fight in that important struggle. His
admirable presentation of our rights fairly
gInwed with patriotic sentiment and scin-
tillated with burning eloquence that made
luminous our Just demands. The result
shows how well he welded Damascus

A Panic at the Chicago Exposition Caused
by Big BlAze.
CHICAGO, Sept. l4-Between 5000 and
10, 900 people rushed pell nell out Of the
exposition building tonight, falling over
each other down stairs from the gallery and
many jumping through the windows in
their hurry to escape. Fire had started IN
one of the big booths near the center Of
the huge structure and the glare of the
flames and the crash of glass caused
panic. Men, women and children joined
in the mad rush for the exits, which were
fortunately numerous enough to prevent
fatal crushing. Within five minutes ex-
cited thousands of people were safe out
side the structure and few minutes there
after the flames were extinguished and
one-fourth of the interior of the exposition
building was IN ruins. The damage to the
building itself was slight and the art gal
lery wholly escaped. The losses of the ex-
hibitors will reach S1,5O0. No persons
were reported seriously injured, though
many doubtless suffered hurts and Others
had decidedly diSagreesble experiences.
