Speaker. Crafts Creates a Furore in the
Illinois Legislature.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, June Am extraordi-
nary scene of wild confusion and excite
ment was witnessed in the lower house of
the general assembly yesterday when the
Worlds fair bill which, as passed by the
senate, appropriated million dollars for
the Illinois exhibit, was acted upon. Efforts
to reduce the appropriation to $5OO,OOO or
$4,000 were successfully defeated, but on
the motion fixing the amount at $3.50, coo it
was apparent the vote would be tie. Then
Speaker Crafts, democrat, voted for
the amendment, and, ignoring a repub-
lican member who wished to change
his vote hurriedly announced the vote
closed. Then the house became bedlam of
blaspheming and Lurrahing
men. Crafts cooly declared the S75OOO0
amendment adopted in the face of terri
fc storm of protest. The speaker would
only listen to a motion to adjourn and
calmly declared it carried. Members were
now yelling and running about like mad
men. Half a dozen made rush at the
speaker to drag him from the chair, but
were forcibly held back by his friends. It
is expected another outbreak will take
place to-day when the attempt will be
made to reconsider the vote.

Further Vigorous Expressions on the
Cahensley Memorial by Arch
bishop Ireland.
The Patriotic Prelate Roundly De-
nounces the Attempt to Fos-
ter Foreignism.
Responsibility for tho Obnoxious Memo
rial Is Laid ON the Priester verein,
OF st. Louis.

ST. PAUL, June 4.--Since the publication
OF his interview few days ago regarding
Cahensley's Lucerne memorial, Archbishop
Ireland has had many kilograms and letters
of endorsement of his views. To-day, in
an interview with an Associated press cor
respondent, he talked further on the sub
ject. He says as the details of the plot are
unfolded, the Indignation of Americans,
Catholic or Protestant, cannot but grow in
intensity. The whole proceeding is an in
suit to American nationalism, and reveals
the fact that certain Europeans imagine
America to be sort of African Congo
without autonomy of its own, in
capable of life without the con-
stant application of European galvanic
batteries. Catholics are mortified that
their religion ia made the occasion and pre-
tense of this insolent foreign intermeddling.
Strange news, indeed, for American ears to
hear, that Austrian and Prussian ambassa-
dors in Rome have been instructed by their
home government to bring to bear upon the
vatican their influence in aid of Herr
Cahensley's plan of campaign. The con-
tagion spreads to an extent that compels
smile of amusement in the midst of our
anger. We find Monsieur Mercier, master
of the province of Quebec, colony of
England, running to the vatican and pray
ing in the name OF his little constituency
that Canadian bishop be named for the
See of Ogdensburg in the state of New
York.
We Can easily picture the further extern
sion of this foreign ambition to rule Catho-
lie affairs in America, and in a few years
the ecclesiastical map of the country would
show the 6ngerings of every foreign princi-
pality whose emig,ants choose to touch our
shores. This attack of foreigners upon the
church in America, however, is killed from
its own audacity. 80 long as it worked
stealthily, by secret embassies and back
door entrances, it was dangerous and was
doing harm. 1t has now entered into open
combat and the outcome will be most favor

try. have seen the official denial

sent to Rome in 1886, nor will he deny that
few days ago the Amerika. a paper which
is fed on the verein food, declared openly
that it will ceaselessly work for Cahensley's
programme. Whatever OF the letter, the
spirit of the Cahensley movement thrives
in the halls of the Verein and the Verein is

TRADE REVIEW.



Husiness in Fair Condition.
Nrw YoRE, June 4.--The most powerful
sustaining influence in business is the con-
tinuanee Of exceedingly favorable crop
prospects. Public and private adyices from
al parts OF the country concur that. since o
the rains which began two weeks ago, the
outlook has greatly improved. In some To-
calitiea tributary to New Orleans rain il
needed for cotton and sugar, but winter
wheat Is now so far advanced in many
states that heavy yield ia considered GER
tain, and tho prospects for other grains is
as bright as it we'll can be at this date.
Wheat has fallen one and three-quarter cents
on sales OF 5l,000,OO0 bushels here, corn
five cents on sales Of 10000, GOO bushels, and
oats 319 cents. while pork has yielded rs
cents per barrel, and lard an eighth. Ex-.
ports of wheat already show decided in-
crease. Cotton is unchanged for the week,
both receipts and exports exceeding those
Of last year largely. for the month just
closing each more than 10000 bales. Sugar
ls shade lower for muscovadO raw and for
granulated- In general tho prices of commo-
d1tIcs hhve declined not far from one per
cent. for the week, and will further decline
comes.
Boston reports only fair business, with
sales very small in some branches. Dealers
and manufacturers in shoes and leather are
cnutious and hides are weak. Wool is quiet,
woolen goods fairly active, and cotton
goods in better demand. Hartford notes
no improvement in dry goods, and dull
trade in hardware. At Philadelphia there
is general hesitation because Of the state of
city finances: the. liquor trade improves,
chemicals are in fair demand, wool. gro
ceties and tobacco are dull. At Chicago
receipts of -four and grain, lard and butter
fall below last year, 81 and Of cured meats
over GO per cent, but wool receipts more
than double, gains appear in dressed beef
and cheese, and in sales Of dry goods,
clothing and shoes.
The only interior NJ narkets at which strin-
gency is reported are Savannah tand Mem
phis, though money lis firm at New Orleans
and in strong demand at Minneapolis, and
q little close at Cleveland and Dstroit. But
in general the supply at nearly all points is
adequate for all legitimate business.

camille agency, by telegraph, number for
the United States 219 and for Canada %. or
a total of 247, as compared with 254 last
week and 237 the week previous to the last.

figures were 2l8, representing 2O4 failures in
the United States and fourteen in the Do

How Angels Are Painted,

How many persons have any idea how
great fresco painters manage when they
wish to produce the figure of woman fy,
ing amid clouds upon ceiling? In the first
place the modern fresco work is apt to be
done upon canvas, which is attached to the
ceiling afterward. The artist disposes his
model upon couch with pillows under her
here and there-one under ono leg, one un-
der one shoulder. another under her head,
perhaps. Thus he initiates with her body
the freest and most graceful outlines of n
flying form His canvas ID stretched upon
wall or frame and he mounts high lad
der, and, looking down upon the model.
paints her without painting the pillows
that mold her attitude. When he has fin
ished and the figure is overhead it takes on
the character of an aerial oreature--if the
artist has managed as he should.-New

FLOWER FOR GOVERNOR.
The World Says He Is to Be Chosen Can
iidate.


tlidate.
New York, June 4.--The World prints a
long article on the political situation in this
state and intimates that Roswell p. Flower
is to be the democratic candidate for gov
ernor and that arrangements to that end
have all been completed.
The statement is made on the authority
of several democratic state committeeman
to the effect that they have received orders
from Edward Murphy. chairman of the
state democratic committee, to secure dele
cations in favor of Fower.
Thoio is no question AS to the accuracy Of
these statements, for the World sent it's
political writer and Albany correspondent,
II. A. Fnrrelly, on tour through the state
to interview state committeeman, and he is
known here as a careful writer and relia-
BILE man. His tour has just been completed
and the story published this morning is the
result of his work.
Three committeeman, he says, gave him
positive assurances that they had received
orders to secure Flower delegations and "a
prominent democrat of Buffalo, assured
him that there was no mistaking the mean
ing Of the order, that it was correct, as he
had learned it, and that Hill was for Flower
beyond the question of doubt.
He reports the Flower boom as being we'll
developed all over the state.

Famine in Russia.

LONDON, June 4.-The Telegraph's st.
Petersburg correspondent gives a pitable
account of the destitution prevailing in the
districts of Kazan, Simbirsk. Samara, Niz-

hunger in the past five weeks. The peas
ants in the Simbirsk and Samara districts
revolted and attacked the corn magazines.
A number of conflicts occurred between
peasants and troops and several persons
were killed and many injured. Gloomy
harvest prospects, increase the horror of the
situation. The minister of the interior has
