Chicago Has Not Enough Cash to Pay
Her Policemen.
CHICAGO, May 1t is stated that
the new chief of police, Major Nc
Claughey, finds that one of the first
things he must do is to reduce the police
force at least 500 men, This is necessary
because of the lack of funds for the use
of the department. The present force
is nearly 5000 men, and in preparing
estimates for the ensuing year, ex-chief
Marsh set forth the fact that the force
was inadequate for the large territory to
be covered, etc, and recommended that
it be increased 500 men, if not more
His estimate for the year was 1901 ,513
This spring, owing to labor troubles and
other matters. Mayor Cregier, under an
emergency clause III the police ordin-
ance, placed on the force large number
of Substitutes and specials. These
men were paid from the regular fund,
and it Icing already meager, this drain
will have to be met by reduction of
the force.

A panic, caused by the breaking
of a sleeper and the sinking of the
-four about six inches occurred at
the Cumbe rland church Monday
evening about three o'clock while
the funeral service of Mrs. Taylor
was being conducted.
The rain was falling in rents,
when the casket was brought in and
placed before the altar, Ju.t then q
sharp cracking sound was heard; the
congregation, about five hundred 10
all composed Of men, women and
children, became frightened, some
screaming to the top of their voices
"that the church is falling and some
saying" "she is coming out Of the
coffn!" The excitement lasted about
ten minutes. During the fright
several persons were knocked down
and tramped. and seriously injured
and one probably fatally. So great
was the excitement and desire to get
out, that the windows were used as
freely as the door. Under one vim
dow all despatched androlling in the
mud was seen two ladies and one
young man. After every thing was
again quiet, large part Of the con
gregation returned and the ceremo-
ny was completed.

a very pretty plan has been agreed

turned out at the rate of a thousand a
day. without making large hole In the
government funds.
Under the disability act, passed June
27th last. some $50 900 claims have been
filed at the pension office. About 43tHWO
of these We're from pensioners drawing
50 to $4 a month, who applied for an in

80, 600 cases pending under the old law,
each of which involves, with the arrear-
ages. from $500 to $l2 600
1t has been decided to pigeon-hole
these latter cases and put the whole bu-
reau at work ON the 1875, 900 cases under
the new law. These can be issued and

they can be taken out and issued and

WORLDS FAIR PEOPLE BEHIND.

Ex-Mayor Cregier of Chicago, Talks
About the Work.
ST. PAUL, May q. -Ex-Mayor Cregier
of Chicago, stopped here long enough to
view on the Worlds fair. He said:
rThere is not stick put in the ground
yet towards erecting the buildings.
They are working away on the site. My
opinion of the matter-as you ask for
it's that the Worlds fair people are
behind with their work. l cannot see
how they can possibly be ready to open
the exposition ON May /, 1898, the date
specified. / believe that it will be three
months later before they will have the
buildings completed.
you see, in this climate we cannot
count on being able to carry on outside
work all the year round. There must
be some delay caused by inclement
weather. l believe that congress will
have to be asked to extend the time to
May 1, 1894. That would mean very
heavy financial loss.
"Our seasOnable weather is from the
end of April until the end of November,
and after that it is stormy, or likely to
be. We could not expect any number
of people to travel in bad weather, there
fore, if the exposition is not ready for
opening ON May /, 1898, it would be un-
wise to open it after two or three
months had passed over There were
about 6S, 100000 admissions at the Paris
exposition, and to make our exposition a
financial success we will need from 49,
OOO. 900 to 100000. Cut off two or
three months and there would be de-
felt, perhaps large one.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Following the

case of Robert Ray Hamilton comes the
announcement that his widow, Eva, is
about to make her debut in the roll of
an actress. Coupled with this announce
ment comes tn. one, even more surpris-
ing, that the play i'll which she is to ap-
pear will set forth the dramatic life
story of the unfortunate man who is
supposed to have met his death among
the tangled weeds at the bottom Of

to be dragged forth and exposed to pub
lie view. 1t is promised that the stage
portrayal will bring to light new and
hitherto unsupported features in this
remarkable case. Eva will appear in a

Must Resort to Desperate Means.

ACAPULCO, May 22-It seems now
.ertain that the Esmeralda must have
recourse to some desperate means to Sc
cure coal, for coal she must have if she
expects to get back to Chill. 1t is now
announced that the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company has ordered its agents
here not to sell the Esmeralda any coal
under any circumstances.
This order was communicated to the
commander of the Esmeralda, and it is
now thought extremely probable that
the Gillian will take coal by force.
This is thought the more probable as
it is now almost certainly known that
the Esmeralda's captain is now in COM
mand of the Itata, having boarded her
when the two vessels met off this port.
Should the acting captain of the Es-
meralda decide to take coal by force
there is absolutely nothing to prevent
him from hauling his vessel alongside
the coal houses and taking what he
wants, for the forts are worthless as
against modern ordnance, and the Es-
meralda could, if molested, lay Acapul-
co in ruins in a half hour.
The Mexican authorities will hardly
be likely to offer the opposition to a
power full ship like the Esmeralda, and
thus bring bombardment on the town.
Nevertheless, there is intense excite
ment
