Grand hodge r. p. q. Elks.

New YORK, July S.-The grand lodge, B.
P. o. Elks, in conformity with the order
of Judge Lawrence, met to-day and elected
grand lodge officers. Resolutions were
adopted declaring the meeting in session at
present in Cleveland, does not represent
nor is it part Of the order and any and
all its acts purporting to relate
to the order in any way are
repudiated and said assembly declared
clandestine.
A declaration of principles was also
adopted setting forth that the primary OBJ
iect of the Elks was the establishment of a
fund for the relief of members of the the
arical, minstrel, musical, variety,
circus and literary professions, and
as many subordinate lodges had been
ignoring this principle the committee on
laws and supervision is directed to formu-
late such amendments as will compel the
observance by subordinate lodges of this
principal landmark of the order. Officers
were elected.

meeting ana is composed of members who

ate amendments were concurred in to the
House bill for the disposal OF abandoned

would prove more effective than any others
that could be devised. The previous ques-
ton was then ordered and the bill passed

A FATAL FRENCH DUEL.
Two Trained Monkeys in Travelling Circus
Kill Each Other on the Field of Honor.

Nil Edcu OLuer Oh Ule Oh HOnOT.
Especial to THE misunderstanding Dispatch. ]
PARIS, July Spy Dunlap's cable. IA
duel took place close to Paris Sunday be-
tween two acrobats belonging to travel
ing circus. The men quarreled and re-
solved to fight in the ring after the per-
Torrance. The conditions were two shots
each at twenty-five PAGES. The weapons
were pistols, but neither combatant was
wounded. The duelists and seconds had
overlooked the presence of a couple of
trained monkeys who sat munching nuts
during the affair of honor. These animals
had been taught to ride around the ring
dressed as soldiers, firing pistols as they
rode They saw the duel and when the
ring was clear initiated the proceedings and
gravely loaded the weapons. They then
took their places al a distance of five PAGES
only. Both fell dead, toe wadding of the
old-fashioned pistols acting as bullets.
An astonishing story Of miraculous heal
ing was reported to-day from the island OF
Oleron, near La Rochelle. A young man is
said to have become suddenly endowed
with miraculous power to cure all sorts OF
physical infirmties. He uses neither in
cantaton, hypnotism nor drugs, but simply
places his Te6t against those of the patient
and makes movements with his hands ovel
the parts afflicted, thereby effecting com
plete cure. His popularity is increasing BY
the fact that he makes no charge for his
services, but simply says after the gesture;
are completed, go in peace; you are
cured.n Sometimes one visit is not enough
but three never fail to expel the disease
! The halt and The blind hasten to him il
/ crowds. He exercises his pOwer at certaiI
hours only, and nothing will tempt him tt
break his rule.

special session Sunday to consider what
course to pursue in view of the suspension
of specie payments by the national bank
A bill was passed which will be promul-

KNIGHTS Of Pythias, Conclare.


MILWAUKEE, July S.-The features of the
Pythian conclave circles gave a
grand reception at the exposition building
and the opening of the deliberations of the
supreme lodge. The exercises at the expo
sition building were opened by the mayor
who made speech of welcome. The gov
ernor followed with welcome on behalf
of the people of Wisconsin. Following the
reception the members of the supreme
lodge were escorted to the West Side Tur-
ner hall, which was reserved for their use
during the supreme lodge session and the
first meeting of that body was opened.
1t is approximateG that 1900 men re-
sponded to reveille at Camp Carnahan this
morning, but for aught that is positively
known at General Carnahan's headquar-
tiers, there might have been a million men
under tents last night. There is a deplor-
able lack Of system about the manage
ment of the camp, ana responsibility does
not seem to rest on the shoulders of any
particular person. Up to noon only two
brigades had submitted to Adiutant- Gen
eral Mckee a report of the number Of men
under their Jurisdiction. Several cases of
prostration from heat occurred yesterday
and to-day, but none serious. The Red
Cross society has established a hospital
ground and are caring for some cases of
| sickness.
The parade of the knights of Pythias, in
| spite of the almost unbearable heat, was a
great success. Ten thousand men were in
| line The Fifth brigade was composed Of
| $50 Californians. Knights from the other
western states were under the command of
General George H. Scaffner Commander
Carnahan strenuously denounced the story
to the effect that he had refused the Cali
fornia delegation admission to quarters be-
cause they wanted to bring wine and
liquors into the camp. sit is vicious lie
and seems to be printed with malicious in
tent" the general said. '"There is no Cal
/ ifornia division here, and l have not yet
met a single man from that state. No APP
plication for quarters was made, and quite
naturally they could not be retuced."

qbe Cbevenne indians Uneasy.

ST.. PAUL, July S.-A Pioneer Press special
from Pierre, S. D.. says: News from the
Cheyenne Indian agency confirms the sur
misses of trouble at that point. About four
thousand Indians are at the agency and
created disturbance today when they
found 40 ratious could be issued until
Wednesday. The delay is caused by the
fact that the cattle have not been driven
in from the range, thus leaving the Indians
almost starving from Monday until to-
morrow. The Indians also object TO being
counted in the census and the census Will
be taken with great difficulty. The condi-
ton of the Indians is deplorable. Yester

chaser may at any time have his contract
Cancelled and the money returned to him
with interest. His company assumes the
entire risk of the falling price of shares
and the expense OF doing the work.
President E'isk's belief is that this plan,
if properly presented. will induce greater
thrift among the men and through their
example spread among the people habit
of savings and investing in the securities
of the railroads which runs past their
doors. The ultimate object is. to produce a
community of interest between the citizens
and the railways which shall give perfec-

able of investments for the small pro-
prietor in sound dividend paying railway
