Newfoundland has been patient camel, but
the st,aws are being piled OH its back in a way
thai points TO an early catastrophe. The fact
is significant that in a colony where party pol
i,cS has hitherto ragged With a severity un-
cquaed in any popularity governed State, a
complete harmony has been established in the
bold and fierce denunciatiOn OF England for Ie-
fusing approval to the Reciprocity Convention
recently framed by Secretary Bond and Mr..
Blaine The resolutions quoted in our dis
patches this morning point the way to some
thing oninous of the Empires integrity in
America
Doubtless the most interesting point in the
report of the State BoaId of Health for last year
is the statement concerning the effects OF the
epidemic influenza which prevailed a year ago
the disease commonly known as the grip"
According 20 the report, the number of deaths
in January, 1890 was Is, 000-larger than
ever before and 5000 in excess OF the average
for that month for five years This increase
is considered to have been undoubtedly due to
the strange epidemic A repetition of that
visitation is to be deprecated. No alarm, how
ever need be felt at present over the report that
the grip has reappeared in Europe
As TIE TRIBUNE predicted the House Com
mittee on Coinage has decided TO make an ad-
verse report on the Senate's Free-Conage bill.
The vote was to 4. A minority report will
doubtless accompany that of the majority, and
the matter will take its place at the bottom of
the House calendar In all probability this
means tho end of silver legislation for this ses-
aion. The chances of taking up the report out

LOOK OUT FOR FIRES.

One of our local insurance agent
furnishes US the following good ad
vice anent the Fourth of July anc
fires:
In view of the near approach of the
Fourth of July, with its attendant
conhAgration hazard, it is desired tc
call attention to the following simple
precautions, some Of which can be
adopted to advantage by everyone:
II you have private fire apparatus,
see that the hose, fire pals and ex.
unguishers are in serviceable condi,
ton. If you have none this is an
excellent time to so protect your
property.
II you have small hose, attach it in
the most available place. Many kinds
of business require the use of pals
tanks and barrels, while stores, sta
bles and dwellings all have pals in
use. Fill these with water and dis
pose them advantageously during this
dangerous time.
il you have gratings IN the side.
walks over basement openings, or
have outside basement doors, remove
all rubbish, and if possible cover
them over temporarily to keep out
fireworks.
Wet down wooden sidewalks and
planked areas, also under open side
walk gratings, and use water enough
10 run through the cracks SO as to
wet the chips, paper, etc, under
meath.
Remove all packing boxes, goods
in cases and rubbish from sidewalks,
areas and roofs. If any boxes are
necessarily left outside, pile them
snugly and see that no packing ma
terlal is exposed.

INDIAN HosTILITIES
On the Moqui Reservation Sud
denly Terminate.

=
The threatening attitude Of the
Oraiba band of Indians on the Moqui
reservation came to climax on Tues.
day with the arrest OF the ringleaders
On Tuesday morning at 8 O'Clock,
the United States troops under com.
mand of Colonel Corbin, arrived at the
Oraiba village after. four hours hard
march from camp, and found the In.
dams ready for battle. The sight Of
so many soldiers seemed to overawe
them, and they showed signs of weak.
ening, and after conference Of about
two hours Colonel Corbin succeeded in
arresting the leaders, and they are now
in route to Fort Winsate.
On every hand evidences Of great
preparation for war were plainly Wis
ible, and much praise is due the com
handing officer for the peaceful man
ner in which he succeeded in bringing
hostilities to q close, thus averting
much bloodshed. The troops suffered
much hardship on the march. 1t is
the general belief that the prompt &C
ton of the government in sending the
troops will be productive Of rnucf
good in that section, and no tear Of
further trouble need be anticipated fo'
some time to come. The chiefs ant
medicine men arrested are all bad In
dams. After four days rest; at
Keam's Canyon the troops will be or
dcred to their respective posts.

THEY SAW SNAKES.
Exposition Employees Battle With
A Monster Reptile.

Most people would laugh at the ap-
parent absurdity of the idea of real
live anaconda parading the streets of
the East side, but that such thing
really occurred can be proven by sever
al employees of the exposition. Yester
day afternoon there arrived at the ex-
position building a rough box, on which
was marked the inscription:
MINNEAPOLIS EXPO SITION.
A peculiar odor was noticed about the
box, and Manager Bracket declared
that it must be box of furs which he
was expecting from Colorado.
Winn Bracket Jr. then went after a
Ratchet with which to open the box. In
a few minutes he returned with it and
a few good whackS soon made an open
ing.
sits those furs, sure" said the man
ageT.
''My. but don't it smell awfully
LOUD" said VIM Junior.
Then they heard rustling sound in
the box and they looked at each other
in amazement. What kind of furs
could this be that made a noise? They
peered into the box little closer and
the sound of rustling increased. Sew
something of interest was on foot, had
approached and were interested OBJ
servers.
Suddenly there was yell of terror
from one of the men. A scaly, diamond
shaped head, from which a Shiny.
forked tongue protruded, was thrust
out of the box and two jewel-like eyes,
glittering with anger, fastened their
gaze upon the spectators.
Its an anaconda" shouted one of
the men.
The immense snake waved its head to
and fro in anger and slowly began to
uncoil itself from the box.
sect rope" called some one, while
the whole crowd put a respectful dis
lance between the box and themselves.
Slowly the scaly monster began to
uncoil his crawling body out upon the
floor, and the men wideued the dis
lance between him and them. After
freeing itself from the box the monster
started to crawl towards the pony track.
One of the men picked up club and
made an attempt to strike it, but the
reptile made him beat a hasty retreat.
There did not seem 10 be any way of
stopping it, and the reptile was plainly
in no mood for fOoling. One of the
Workmen succeeded in throwing rope
over the serpent's head, but he imme-
diately wished that he had not, for the
big snake started after him. He threw
the rope over the top rail Of the fence
around the pony track. and took half
hitch around it.
The big snake seemed to laugh at this
puny obstruction. He took a twist
around the rail with his tail and with a
zap the rope was parted. Then he
] seemed DESTROYS of showing his anger
T, by threshing all around the place. He
took a couple of turns around the shaft
ing of the large engine, but he at once
discovered that he had found something
that he could not break. The men
waited every opportunity of putting
another rope around his body, but his
ceaseless writings would give them no
chance to do anything of the kind.
| Look out! He's going to crawl out

GROCERY WAGONS GALORE
The Grocery Clerks Celebrate the
Adoption of the z O'Clock

The Grocery Clerks Celebrate the
Adoption of the O'Clock
Rule.
The grocery wagon does not at any
time allow much chance for its pres
ence in the city to be forgotten, but last
night the entire center of the city was
literally taken possession of by this
homely but useful vehicle The Occa-
sion was the celebration by the grocers
and their clerks of the adoption of the
7 o'clock closing rule, and the demon
stratiOn took the form of a grand pa
rade. The procession formed at Bridge
square and took the following line of
march:
Up Nicollet to Tenth street, to Sixth
avenue south, TO Washington, to Sec
ond avenue south, to Seventh street, to
NlcOllet, to Washington. There were
over 400 vehicles in line, and among
them were to be found everything from
the twO-Wheeled pony cart to the four
horse dTay. All of the wagons were more
or less decorated, and some of them
were very tastefully rugged out with
Japanese lanterns and festOonS of col
ored paper, while nearly every one car
ried transparency or canvas banner
on which was printed some such legend
as the following:
''The Knights of Labor Are Thing
of the Past''; "My Customers Say Close
at Z. and Say So. Too; 1--WE Can Now
See Our Girls We Close at { p. m"
We Are No Longer Slaves. We Close
at 7''; II Am Always Glad to Sell Gro
ceries Up to Z p. m"
Each of the wagons contained from
five to twenty-five small boys with fish
horns, who strOve right manfully to
drown out the several bands, and met
with marked success.
The largest showing and prettiest dis
play was made by Yerxa & Co., who
turned out twenty-five neatly decorated
delivery wagons and five carriages, the
latter being occupied by the lady clerks
of the firm, and added greatly to the
beauty of the procession. The Lilli-
bridge Bremer company turned out
eight four-hOrse drays loaded with
goods of its manufacture, and the Amer
lean Biscuit Company and Steam Candy
factory also made creditable showing.

Work of the Police.

The monthly report of Superintendent
Henderson which was issued yesterday
shows the work accomplished by the
police during July to have been as fol-
lows:
The total number of arrests was 400,
of which 81 were for violations of city
ordinances and 50 for offenSes against
the laws of the state. Among the latter
there were % cases of assault and bat
terry, 2 of bastardy, of burglary, 6 of
grandlarceny, "a of petit larceny and 1
of embeZZlement.
The detective department made 81 ar
rests, of which were for larceny.
During the month miscellaneous
stolen property amounting to $25S was
recovered.
Horses and carriages to the amount of
4,69S reported lost and stolen were re-
turned to their owners.

The city comptroller has expressed
the opinion that the tax levy for this
wear will be nearer % mills than 20,and
in this he is Endorsed by every one who
has made a careful study of the require
ments and present financial status of
the city Thus far three of the heads
of departments have filed their esti-
mates with the city comptroller, and
each of these estimates show an increase
over last year. The fire department was
last year allowed S25S, ZOO. which, with
s13,5OO already on hand, made fund of
S272, 600. The sum asked for in this
years estimate is $4,000, which
in view of the fact that
many improvements are requir-
ed is regarded as conservative.
Building inspector HaZen reports
that his department shows deficit. He
was allowed S., 800. and he now has one
more man in his Office than a year ago.
He asks for ST., 400 next year.
The city assessors estimate also
shows a small increase over last year.
The health department estimate has
not vet been filed. The amount allowed
that department last year was S25,2oO,
and it is expected that that will be in
creased by sufficient amount to dis
pose of the garbage.
The increase in the number of poll
ing places will add several thousand
dollars to the cost of elections, and it is
expected that the needs of the
police, workhouse. street lighting,
city hospital and other departments will
be greater this year than last. The fol-
lowing table will show the rate of taxa
ton for last year and a careful estimate
of the rate for this year:
