Chicago to Construct Steel Tower 1920
Feet Above Ground.
The Pride Of Paris Will Be Laid Completely
In the ShadG-TO Be Completed
February 4, 1898.


CHICAGO, Oct 16.-The stars and stripes,
it was decided to-day, are 10 wave 1l20 feet
above the ground during the Worlds Fair
from an American tower that will out
Efel Paris. The builder is to be Andrew
Carnegie of PittSburg. Over 25.000 people
Will be accommodated in the tower at one
time, and two of the many elevators are to
run more than one thousand feet up with
out change or STOP directly 10 the lookout
landing. The width of the tower at the
foundation level is $40 feet In each drec-
tion. The keystone Bridge Company of
Pittsburg, one Of Carnegie's concerns, has
agreed to construct the metal portion of the
tower and to have it completed February l,
1898. The actual cost of the tower is esti-
mated at S1,5OO,OOO. 100000 less than
the Eiffe Tower, the difference be-
ing in the greater simplicity of de-
sign and the use of standard aud
merchantabe sizes of steel. There are
three landings. The first 200 feet from the
ground, will accommodate at one time on
the colonn ade 1900 or 5000 people. Inside
the colonnade is space sufficient to build
four hotels or restaurants, besides numer-
Gus booths for the sale Of different articles.
The second landing is designed as being a
promenade in day time and dancng-hal
in the evening and will accommodate 900
people. The upper landing, 1000 feet from
the ground, will accommodate from 1900 to
1850 people, and above this there will be
offices for signal service, scientific inveSti-
cation, etc Above this is to be circular
electric railways carrying elecric lights at
night and signals by day. Above this will
be lighthouse, to be provided with the
most powerful revolving lights ever con-
strncted, surmounted by flagstaff.

American man. of-war's men were killed
and several others were more or less Sc
yerely wounded in a desperate street fight
here this afternoon with crowd of Chilean
sailors. The Chileans did not do all the
fighting, for when the fight was ended
number of them we're found to be pretty
badly hurt, though SO far as l can ascertain

ships now in the harbor. 1t is impossible
to get full particulars Of the fight or the

of the difficulty. Ever since the triumph of
the Junta there has been feeling among
the lower classes Of bitter hostility toward
Americans, aud sailors sometimes have been
subjected TO insults. 1t is reported that

EDENvER, Oct. 16.-An Associated Press
CORES spOndent, who accompanied the COM
mission to negotiate with the Shoshone and
Arapahoe Indians of Wyoming for the
cession Of a part Of the Wind River Reser-
vatiOn. telegraphs that the commission has
effected an agreement with the Indians,

100000 acres. The Indians are to receive
SGC0,0O0, or about 55 cents per acre. The
lands decided include practically all the land
north Of the Wind River and strip on the
eastern part of the reservation. The coun-
try Is well watered; the bottom lands are
rich and there is about 100000 acres Of
bench lands which irrigation companies can
make good agricultural land at reasonable
cost. The whole Of the reservation is
adapted for a sheep and cattle range. Coal

DEMPSEY'S BENEFIT.
The Nonpartil Cleans Up Good
Round Sum.

Jack Dempsey is nearly or quite $4,000
hetter off than he was twenty-four hours
ago, and all because of the kindness of his
San FranccisO friends in securing for him the
benefit which took place at the Pacific Atl-
letic Clubs Wigwam on Eddy street last
night.
At least $500 of the amount was repre-
sented by an equal number of persons who
were present to witness the programme
which had been prepared with some cou-
siderable amount of care, and $500 was
contributed by admiring friends here and at
the East. Such at least is the claim made by
those having the matter in charge, and it is
asserted that Dwyer brothers. the New York
racing men, sent thelr check for $1,000 as the
price of a single seat, while Jim Johnston,
James Nakelee, Arthur Lumley aud others
came to the front handsomely.
Bob FitZSimmOnS had been requested to
appear, but as he would not be given an
opportunity to spar with Dempsey he grew
quite indignant, aud refused to have any
thing to do with the affair. AS cOnse-
quence DenIpsey's friends are angry with
the lanky New Zeaander, and suggest
ominously that he may want benefit HIM
self at some future time.

fear of contracting a cold, which he was
anxious to avoid at present. Peter how
ever, made a short and somewhat rambling
address, in which he explained that while
willing TO do all possible he could not spar
alone and could only help out with his mere
presence.
The first set-to was between the Greggans
Brothers, which was tame affair, as was
also the one which followed betW cen Jack
Hailahau and Joe sullivan.
There were bouts between George Bishop
and Martin White, Jim and John Killeen
and Jim Ulrich and William Cook, the latter
Of which was exceedingly clever and brought
down the house.
Billy Farley and Harry Woods, two local
men, went at each other for three hard
rounds, and were followed by Joe Acton and
Professor Clark Of Pittsburg, who wrested
a fall catch aS-catch-can, which was a clever
display OF science.
There were bouts between Ed Toomy and
Burt Flynn, Young Ashton and Frank
White and numerous of the smaller fry of
scrappers, and little interest was elected
until the wind-up between Dempsey and
Young Mitchell. When they entered the
ring they were followed by Dan Hawkins
and Joe Soto, who spared between the
formers rounds. Dempsey was the recipi-
ent OF an ovation, and was presented with
number OF floral pieces of great beauty.
He spared three rounds with Mitchell,
showing to good advantage aud displaying
all his 0ld-time clevernesS.

New YORK, Der. 16.-An Ohio editor,
having written Mr. Blaine that the Demo-
cratic papers were pdrading him as an op-
ponent of the Mckinley Bill, he replied as
follows:
AUGUSTA tMe.) Oct. II, 1891
John Holey. Editor Journal, Bucyr1ts Ohio
MY DEAR SIR: You Inform NE That the Demo-
cratic papers IN your town, and many Demo
cratic papers throughout Ohio keep The follow
Ing paragraph standing in type:
but there is not a section or line In the Nc
kinley bill that VIII open market Tor another
bushel of wheat or another barrel OF pork.
James g. Blaine 10 Senator Frye, July II,
1890"
This sentence is garbled and taken from its
proper connection. 1t creates wrong impress
Sion WHAT die say is the following: Il do not
doubt that IN many respects the tariff bill pend
ing IN The Senate is Just measure and that most
of its provisions are in accOi dance with tie Wise
policy of protection, but there Is not section
OF line IN the entire bill tnat will open marhet
for another bushel OF wheat or another pound OF
pork" The letter in which this paragraph oc-
ours was written TO Senator Frye, July IL,
1890 and the Mckinley bill did not become
law until October, nearly three months there
after In my letter 10 Senator Frye objected
10 the bill because II did not contain reciprocity
clause which would provide market Tor wheat.
pork and 0ther products OF the farm and for
various fabrics. Before the Dill was hnaily
passed the reciprocity clause was Inserted and
a large addition was made TO The free list. Ii
will, theI efore, be seen from what | said IN my
letter that the objection which | made 10 the
bill became Il law. Let me further say that the
reciprocity clause has given ample market Tor
many barrels OF hOu. and many pounds OF pork.
Bra2li, some months hence, entered into
treaty by which many American articles were
admitted free. Flour is made free and pork ad-
milted at nominal duty. Cuba and Porto Rico
have reduced the duty ON flour from SO SO per
barrel 10 81 (Which gives us the mdikeD besides
putting nearly 100 articles of American prOduc-
lion on the free list. San Domingo has made
reciprocity treaty with -four and pork on the flee
list, besides d large number OF Articles. Other
treaties for reciprocity are in progress. Germany,
without negotiating for formal treaty, has re-
moved the prohibition on pork anc our Govern
ment In consideration thereof has left her sugar
on the free list. This opens 10 us an entirely new
market aud from Sl5O00,oO0 10 S20,0oo,00O
worth OF American pork VIII be consumed per
annum where not pound has been tax III for
ten years. The reciprocity provision is proving
very successful, especially In farm products aud
more particularly In the case OF the two articles
mentioned In the parag aph quOted-four aud
pork. / am not, therefore, an opponent OF the
Mckinley bill, as the Democratic papers IN ONO
are constantly alleging. On tie contrary have
cordially supported II ever since IL was perfected
by the insertion Of the reciprocity clause. Very
respectfully yours, JAMES Il. BLAINE.

Claims That He Did Not Prosecute Parnell Be-
fore His Death.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-Wiliam U'Brien, men,
Der Of Parliament, to-day made public a
statement or manifesto in reply to the re-
cent Parnellite defanCe5: He writes:
have waited since the funeral, hoping that
the late Paruelps leading supporters, know
ing my relations with Parnell at Boulogne,
would have the manliness to disassociate
themselves from the diabOlical charges cir
culated broadcast by their special organ
that Dillon and myself bounded their leader
10 death" UBrien continues by saying that
as the iusinuatOns as TO his treatment OF
Parnell are not rebuked or repudiated by
the men who knew them to be
false, he feels absolyed from all obligations
Of silence in regard to the conference at
Boulogne. The unalterable basis of all
communications with Parnell at Bouogne
was, first and last 0'Brien says, his retire
ment from the leadership. OBrien saws:
"PaTnel's fOur most Influential lieutenants
pTOtessed themselves as eager as ourselves
to secure ParnelPs withdrawal. These same
men are now silent, while their organ
charges me W tn plotting to get rid of Par
nell. They themselves pressed me to con-
sent to ParnelPs first proposition, which
was that he should retire in favor of myself,
and at the close Of the negotiations they re-
peated their convictions. 1t would have
solved tile difficulty had 1 consented"
a letter from Psnell to O'Bren is then
given, in which the former expresses his
gratitude for the kindness and gentleness of
spirit shown him by OBI en-. 0'Brien con-
clu1es; Thus closed the BOulOgne cOmmu-
nications. With full recognition we parted
as honorable opponents"
HARRINGToN's DENIAL.
Timothy Harrington, replying to 0'Brien's
manifesto, denies that the BOulosne nego-
tiations were based on the absolute retire
tlons the more delighted ParnelPs followers
will be.

habeas corpus cases in the interest of
Julius Moskowitz. Isidore Brenner aud
Morris ellis, Russian Jews, charged with
breach of the peace. distributing anarch-
istic circulars, making incendiary speeches
and melting to riot. Officers testified as to
their utterances at a meeting when they ad-
vised their hearers net to believe in God,
not to fear the police. condemned the Pres-
dent of the United States and said he ought
to be killed. Judge Biddie declared he had
no doubt but that the preaching of their
doctrines was seditious. These foreigners
came to this country voluntarily, and the
first thing they did was to attack our insti-
tutiops. They were enemies to the human
race. He held all for trial
