A GREAT SCHEME.
The Canadian Pacific Enters Chi
cago in Style.

CHICAGO. July Col. L. G. Alder
ger, one OF the proprietors of the Lake
Street Elevated railroad, admitted in
an interview tonight that an ar
rangement had been practically con-
summated by which his line would
become the Chicago terminal of the
Canadian Pacific. This arrangement
would give the Canadian Pacific right
of way directly through the heart of the
city to the site Of the proposed big new
union depot of the Michigan Cen
trail and the Illinois Central on the lake
front. The consideration is not stated,
but it is assumed that the Canadian Pa
cific guarantees the bonds of the Lake
Street Elev~ted company. Work on the
Elevated has been at standstill for
some weeks, owing to the failure of the
projectors to float the bonds.

to the late O'Gorman Mahon is pro-
ceeding quietly. Both the Parnellite

day an exciting scene took place in a
polling booth at Bagnalstown. Canon
O'Neill, supporter of Mr.. Parnell,
entered the booth and voted. but the
canon was aStonished to see his own
curate instructing anti-P arnellites how
to vote.
The canon vehemently protested
against the curate's actions, claiming
that it was an attempt to intimidate the
people. The people outside the
booth. composed of anti-Parnell-
ties and Parnellites, hearing
the discussion going on inside,
ranged themselves on each side Of the
polling place and prepared for despair
ate scrimmage. The police, however,
soon gathered in force upon the spot,
and with difficulty prevented free
fight. In the midst of the disturbance
a man tried to strike Mr.. Parnell, but
he was prevented from doing so by
number of byStanderS.

SOMETHING WRONG SOME
WHERE.

The Rev. WALLACE II. BUTRICK is
reported to have said in the pulpit Of
the First Baptist church, last Sunday,
that the annual tax levy OF st. Paul
for municipal purposes amounted to
S5.O00,000. There used to be a saying
that figures cannot lie. This is some
times disputed in these days, but every
body agrees that clereymen in the pull
pit tell the truth. 1t is not necessary to
idealize the cloth to believe this.
Clergymen are hired to suppress the
bearing of false witness i'll the neigh
borhood; so if the Rev. WALLACE Ii.
BUTRICK, pastor of the First Baptist
church, is correctly reported, he surely
has neither told lie nor spoken reek-
IesslY and without proper investigation,
because either of these things would be
inconsistent with his calling. ltmay
therefore be taken as settled that the
annual tax levy of st. Paul for munich
pal purposes amounts to S5,00O,0OO.
The Hon. ROBERT p. PORTER, of the
United States census bureau, has is
sued a bulletin in which it is made to
appear that the maintenance of the gov
eminent of the city of st. Paul
requires a sum equal to S27.6l
per year for each inhabitant. Ac-
cording to the figures of the Hon.
ROBERT p. PORTER's census there are
about 133,000 people in St. Paul, which
would make the total annual tax levy of
st. Paul for municipal purposes some
thing less than s., 100000. The Hon.
ROBERT p. PORTER is the head of dis
interested and nOn-partiSan department
of the national government, and is en-
ployed to compile accurate and COM
plete statistics. He has no reason, of
course, for fayOriug or injurlng this
place, and has had the most eXtraOrdi-
nary facilities for securing information.
1t may therefore be taken as settled
that the annual tax levy of st. Paul for
municipal purposes amounts to some
thing less than s., 700, 900.
Hon. ROBERT A. SMITH, mayor of the
city of st. Paul. in public interview,
with the help of the city comptroller,
says that the annual tax levy of st.
Paul for general purposes is 81, 1S7, 900.
and for school purposes S4S5, 900. Hon.
ROBERT A. SMITH is prominent citi-
zen, connected with large banking in
stitution, of a well-established reputa-
ton for carefulness and moderation,
somewhat Indifferent to political re-
wards, and exceedingly popular and
trusted in the community. He surely
knows what he is talking about, and
speaks the truth. 1t may therefore be
taken as settled that the annual tax
levy OF st. Paul for municipal purposes
amounts to 81, 672, 900.
This is an interesting riddle.

VESUVIUS IN ACTION.
Villagers Are Deserving Their
Homes in Fear.

LONDON, July IA dispatch from
Rome says that the villagers on the
slope of Mount Vesuvius are abandoing
their homes and their vineyards,
fearing that one of the greatest
eruptions in the history of the
mountain is impending. The earth
quake shocks that have always pre-
ceeded destructive outbursts of the vol
cano in the past have been felt in sew
eral parts of Italy, and of late in close
proximity TO the mountain. Authorities
of Naples are keeping close watch for
signs of increasing danger, and visitors
have been warned not to approach too
near to the crater, and to avoid the
path of the lava.
Since the death of Brazilian journal
ist few days ago, by falling into the
crater. several travellers have shown a
morbid desire to gaze into the pit or
molten lava in which the unfortunate
man disappeared. In such cases, should
another fatal accident occur, the guide,
the project of police has stated, will be
prosecuted. II is the opinion of Italian
scientists that the earthquakes affecting
the peninsula will increase III violence
until Vesuvious breaks ont in a serious
eruption, and the earthquake visltations
will for the present subside.

FOUGHT FOR HONOR.
Louisiana Duelists Meet and Blood
Is Drawn.

NEW ORLEANS, July IA party from
this city crossed the Louisiana line
and fought duel to-day with rapiers.
The principals were L. p. Bouby, editor
of L'Orleans, and A. S. Carruthers, edi-
tor of the Mascot. Present with the
principals were Messrs. Bilstein, Heide
mann. Series and Judge Buisson, Drs.
DE Grange and David. Each party had
a pair of rapiers. Mr.. BOuby won the
toss for weapons and selected his own;
time was called and the duel COM
menced. During the encounter Mr.. Car
ruthers was cut below the eye, and, not
withstanding the manifest desires of the
combatantS to continue the fight, the
seconds decided unanimously that honor
was satisfied and that the two adver-
saries had given sufficient proof of their
courage and dignity. Subsequently a
reconciliation took place on the field OF
honor. The trouble between the duel
lists grew out of articles published in
their respective papers.

FOOD OR WORK.
That Is the Cry of the Kaiser
Poor People.

LONDON, July THE latest news
from Berlin is calculated to have de-
pressing effec. on the kaiser and his
retinue in the midst of their festivities.
Bread has taken another, although
slight advance. The unemployed
poor are clamoring for food or work.
There is no work, and the authorities
find it difficult to supply the food. 1t
now seems that. even with the corn du-
ties suspended, Russia would not be
depended upon for the supplies
that are required. That country is
itself in dread of a general scarcity,
owing to the miserable character of the
wheat crop. and III some provinces a
scarcity already exists. The Italian
government has already sounded the
leading Berlin bankers on the SUBJ
ject of loan to redeem that country
from its present almost hopeless finan-
cial condition. The response, it is said,
has been favorable. The imperial gov
eminent is earnestly desIrOus to see
Italy put on a sound basis financially, in
order that Italy may remain free from
French temptation.

HOPPERS IN MYRIADS.
Sections of Wyoming Are Com
pIetely Covered.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 7.-Portions
of Cheyenne county are being devast-
ated by grasshoppers. For three weeks
past they have been Matching out, and
myriads cover the prairie for miles just
west of First View. A strip of land,
ten miles wide, and extending in a
southeasterly direction across the entire
county. is completely hid from view by
the hOpperS. They meet with consid-
cradle difficulty in crossing the railroad,
and consequently settle upon the track,
causing the wheels OF the engin to slip
so that it often requires two engines to
pull the trains over these places.
The extent of territory they cover is
not known, but they are SAID to extend
over all the land between First View
and Limon Junction, and as far south as
the Arkansas river. As yet they have
done 10 damage to crops or grass, being
too young. By the time they are able
to fly or damage crops they will be well
out of Colorado into Kansas.

CINCINNATI, July 7.-Music hall was
filled this afternoon with people gathered

convenient and profitable, and it is now
enlarged until there are III exhibitors
from thirteen states with samples cover

"Evicted" Farmers in Kansas.

The Topeka Capital gives some facts
which have bearing upon the pathetic
tales of ''evicted farmers which ALI
ance orators tell. The Capital states

not one represented the eviction
of farmer. The forty-one foreclOs-
ures in Cloud county since Jan. 1, with
an exception. were on farms and lots
abandoned by the borrowers, who, after
claiming all the land was worth, made
no effort to pay the mortgages. In
Western Kansas the Capital declares
that in SO per cent of the foreclosures
the land was abandoned directly after
the loan was made aud the borrower
sought pastures new.

LOTTERY MONEY LOST.
Express Messenger Suspended on
Suspicion.

ST. LOUIS, July 7.-Messenger Glenn
Kellogg, of the Pacific Express COM
pany, is temporarily under cloud, and
has been laid off owing to the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of a pack
age containing $4,000. Kellogg
whose run is over the Iron Mountain
railroad between here and Memphis,
has heretofore borne an excellent repu-
tatioH, and his fellow messengers refuse
to believe him guilty of theft, while the
company tacitly accepts his explanation
of the disappearance of the package.
The latter was expressed by the LouiSi-
ana Lottery company to one of its Gus
toners in this city. They, not re-
ceiving it, inStigated an investigation.
with the result that the messenger
between New Orleans and Memphis
and Kellogg have been suspended. The
southern messenger declares that he
turned the package over to Kellogg at
Memphis, and that the latter gave re-
ceipt for it, but Kellogg claims that it is
the easiest thing in the world for a
package to be lost where the transfer is
made at Memphis. The express COM
pany's detectives are shadowing every
messenger on the road.
