WORLDS FAIR MATTERS.
CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
LIVE STOCK CONFIRMED.
Harmonious Meeting of the Board of Con-
+ troll and Committee of the Chicago
Directory-Men Employed on the Elec-
tricity Building Gro on a Strike.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-The board OF con-
troll OF the national worlds fair commits
sion last night confirmed the nomina-
tion by Dire:tor-General Davis OF Mr..
f. w. Cottrell, of Detroit, Mich, for
chief OF the department of live stock,
and the nomination now goes to the
local directory. Mr.. Cottrell is strongly
endorsed by President Palmer of the
commission and other prominent Mich
igan people, and also by the National
Live Stock association.
|, At a joint meeting OF the board OF
(lcontrol and the executive committee Of
the directory, everything passed
smoothly. The proposed reduction OF
expenses in the department of publicity
and promotion was referred to the Chi
cago directory, with power to cut down
expenses if thought necessary.
One hundred and twenty men en-
ployed under Omaha contractors on
the electricity building of the worlds
fair struck because of trouble over
favorite foreman, William Irving. They
ASSERT that one Of the firm of con-
tractors came here last week and dis
charged thirty-two men without con-
sulting Irving, and gave as the reason
of dismissal that the men were too old.
Irving protested. and yesterday received
notice that he would be superseded by
another man, but that he might remain
in subordinate position at less wages.
He declared, the men assert, that he
was reduced because he strictly enforced
all the state laws regarding wages and
hours of labor. He was the only fore
man at the grounds. it is said, who in
sisted upon a weekly payday.
LONDON, Oct. 18.-The Times pub
fishes an interview with Sir Henry
Wood, English commissioner to the
worlds fair at Chicago, who has just re-
turned home. Sir Henry confesses that
he has quite changed his original opin-
ion that New York is the best city for
the proposed exhibition. The citizens
OF Chicago are justly proud of their city.
He quite believes their private munifi-
cence would supply any lack of funds
necessary to make the exhibition a
thorough success. 1t is certain that
English exhibitors will meet with every
possible facility.

A PAUPER's HERITAGE.

william I. Coleman's Pauper Aunt
the Heir to Millions.
CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-A special dispatch
from Butte, Mont, says: Mrs. Anna
Dodge, an inmate OF the poorhouse o.
this city, and eighty years of age, re-
ceived notice yesterday that she is heir
to an estate worth S., 000, 900 in England.
The story dates back two centuries, at
which time her great grandfather on her
mothers side owned vast estate near
London. His oldest son removed to
America, settling and marrying in Vir-
ginia. Two children, William and An
ME were born Of the marriage, the latter
being the mother OF Mrs. Dodge. The
son and his wife died, and their two
children moved to Kentucky. Both
married, the son dying without issue,
and the daughter marrying William Cole
man. Both died forty years ago, leav-
ing Mrs. Dodge and sister, They
moved to Missouri, where Mrs. Dodge's
husband died twenty years ago.
Five years ago an article appeared In
an English paper telling of the estate
and the lost heirs, and the fact that the
estate was in the hands Of the public adj
ministrator. Mrs. Dodge became con-
WINGED that it was her family history
related. She laid the case before rela-
tive named Ross, recently of Minneapo-
lis, and he went to London to investi-
gate the matter. He returned an en-
couraging letter, but since then nothing
has been heard from him, and it is not
known where he is.
Then, it is said, she placed the matter
in the hands of her nephew, William T.
Coleman,a wealthy canning manufacture
err of San Francisco. Meanwhile she
came to Butte to visit her daughter,
Mrs. Charles Ragsdale. She was taken
sick, and the accommodations not being
good at the miners cabin, she was re-
moved to the poor house. She has now
received letters confirming her right to
the estate and forwarded letters, docu-
ments. the family Bible, etc., to prove
her claim.

LONDON, Oct. 18.-It was officially an
nounced today that Balfour has been
appointed first lord OF the treasury.
1t is reported that Balfour will re-
tain his position as chief secretary for
Ireland.
The Times says: "Only the dullest
malignity can pretend that Balfour has
not earned his promotion. 1t is absurd
to talk of nepotism. The Marquis OF
Salisbury had no more power to lift his
nephew unless the party desired it,
than Gladstone could make either OF
his sons chancellor of the exchequer.
The Chronicle, this morning, thinks
Salisbury would have preferred another
parliamentary leader to Balfour, but he
was obliged to accede to the wishes Of
his party. Unless Harrington had con-
sented to a covert coalition with the
Observation-Disclosures, Balfourw was not likelyto
be as docile to the ruling of the trium-
virate-Salisbury, Harrington and
Chamberlain-as was Smith. The APP
pointment may be regarded as a
gamblers throw with the hope that the
new appointment may have beneficial
effect upon the coming election.

RETIRED FROM POLITICS.
A QUEER TURN OF AFFAIRS IN THE
ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Mitre and Roca Both Renounce Their
Presidential Misunderstanding Cabi-
net Ministers Resign-Nobody Wants
the Characterization Brewing.

New YORK, Oct. 1S.--A Buenos Ayres
special to the Herald recalls the fact of
Mitre's resolve not to allow his name to
be used in the coming campaign. Hardly
had his followers and opponents quieted
down from the excitement the an
nouncement caused, when yester-
day the people were further stirred
up by manifesto from Roca,
. also announcing his retirement from
politics. He likewise claims patriotic
reasons as influencing him in his reso-
luton. Coming so soon after Mitre's
resignation, Roca's manifesto has
caused profound sensation.
Shortly after Roca's announce
ment the government was non
plussed by the resignation from Office
of Ministers Casta and Carballido.
Their action, it would seem, is to be fol-
lowed by further Withdrawals from the
cabinet. OF course their desertion of
the administration has added to the eX-
citement attendant upon General Roca' s
manifesto.
Rumors assert that the Argentine
Republic is already entering upon an
other period of rebellion. The temper
of the populace is such that a riot may
break forth at any moment. The
government is we'll aware of
the dangers that beset it, and has
taken measures to avert possible out
break and to stamp out the revolution at
the first signs it shows. With this point
in view, all the city garrisons have been
concentrated at Palermo park. Great
activity is evident on the part of the pres
ident in this emergency.
The senate has increased the feeling
of unrest by holding a secret session.
The scenes enacted at its meeting are
reported to have been interesting and
exciting in the extreme.
The money market has been influ-
enced by the spirit of rebellion, and the
gold premium has advanced greatly
yesterday it had reached 800.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 18.-A horrible story
of youthful depravity came to light
today, when Albert Kohls, 16-year-old
boy in the employ of farmer named
Kodatz, residing near this city, con-
fessed the murder of his employers 10
year-old daughter Annie. He had been
intimate with the girl, who was weak
minded, and she was about to become a
mother. Not relishing this turn OF
affairs, he killed her, October 18th, and
secreted the body.
On the day of the murder he first put
into soup which the family was to have
for dinner, large quantity OF Paris
green. Mr.. Kodatz ate of the soup first,
and, being taken violently i'll at once,
prevented the others from partaking OF
it. There was so much of the poison
that it acted as an emetlc,
and Kodatz soon got well. That after
noon Annie disappeared. and when Off
GERS came to investigate the poisoning
she could not be found. They came to
the conclusion that she had placed the
poison in the soup and then fled. All
efforts to find her proved unavailing.
Last night Mr.. Kodatz, inv estigating
the cause OF terrible stencil in the
barn, found the unfortunate girls body
under the stable floor, covered with
manure. The boy, Kohls, was at once
apprehended and today confessed. After
the failure of his poisoning scheme, he
went out to repair the hole int the barn
floor. Annie went with him, and while
she was holding board for him to saw,
he crushed her skull with hammer
and placed the body in the hole. He
then covered it with manure and nailed
down the floor. He does not appear to
realize the enormitY of his crime.

AMERICAN PORK.
Italy Will Raise the Embargo-The Is

Italy Will Raise the EmbargO-The Is
sue in France Still Doubtful.
New York, Oct. 1S.-President Louis
Cortenein, of the Italian chamber OF
commerce, received today a cablegra n
from the Italian ministry. at Rome,
stating that it has been unanimously
decided to abolish the decree against
American pork and a proclamation to
that effect will be issued by the Italian
government.
PARIS, Oct. 1S.-When the senate
tariff committee begins debate on the
proposition to remove the prohibition
on American pork, the ultra protection
ist members will attempt to secure an
adverse report on the scheme. Neither
Ferry nor Tirard, who are both mem
bers of this important committee, are
very sanguine that the proposal can be
carried. Millaud, another member of
the committee, told an Associ ated' Press
representative today that he thought
the bill would ultimately prevail, in
spite of the -protectionists.
The recent quarrel of Ferry with the
committee has not tended to smooth the
way to the removal OF the decree against
the admission of American pork, but
quite to the contrary. Yesterday
Reinch, supporting the position taken
by Ferry, called the reactionists in the
committee, "a collection of little fools, y
thus adding increased bitterness to the
dispute.
To Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, American min
lister, Ferry said if the senate allowed
itself to be influenced by the course the
committee seems bent on pursuing: the
protectionist clause itself will be COM
promised gravelv. There must be either
moderate protection or none at all.
Jules Simon made an anti-protection-
ist speech today before committee OF
the French Exporters union, after
which that body adopted a resolution
demanding that the senate insist upon
the free admission into France of raw
materials and food stuffs.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The state de-
partment has not yet received any
definite information regarding the
reported removal of the prohibition on
American pork, by the Italian govern
ment. Negotiations have, however, been
progressing satisfactorily toward that
end.

unseemly disorder. He charged that
his opponents hired men whom they
piled with drink to publicly call him
murderer. He denounced those who
are making on the fresh grave a plat
form of infamous gospel, perpetual hos
tility and nationa, dissension. He
hoped the bitter attacks upon Parnell's
memory, such as had been printed by

Catholic, un-Christian and disgrace to
