Thirty Thousand knights Templar i'm
Line at Denver.
DENVER, Aug. 9.-The welcome rain
of Monday afternoon, while it rather
spoiled the beauty of some of the dec
orations, cooled the air greatly and
made life more pleasant for thousands
of visitors in the city. Preparations for
the grand parade were going on all the
time, during the morning, and the chief
marshal's Office was busy place. The
positions had been assigned long ago,
but it was impossible to tell just what
communicates would be on hand to take
the positions assigned to them. Orders
were issued to be in place at a. m. and
at that time they were all ready. After
waiting an hour three guns were fired and
the head of the procession began to
move. Just at the same time Grand
Master Goblin and his escort, st. Johns
commandery, of Philadelphia, started
from the Browns palace hotel, for the
official reviewing stand at Sixteenth and
Logan avenues. The line of march Of
the procession began on Fourteenth
street, crossed over to Court Place to
Sixteenth street, then up Sixteenth
avenue past the reviewing stand to the
race stand, and then returned to the
business section again. After several
miles of marching the parade broke up
at the Masonic temple. The fourteen
divisions formed on as many sides and
took their positions as the line moved
along. AS the start was made at 10
o'clock with 10000 men in line, the rear
was hardly in motion two hours later.

eTR!KERS AT ,DUQUESNE GIVE UP
THE FIGHT.

With the Exception of Few Blacklisted
Men All the Old Force Returned-Four
Hundred Nom Union Workmen at Home
stead Go Out-strikers Jubilant.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 8.-The Carnegie
Steel company's mill at Duquesne
worked full in all departments Monday.
All that remains of evidence of a
strike is thirty or forty idle men who
will not be reinstated because of their
connection with the strike and whose
names will hereafter have prominent
places on the Carnegie blacklist. The
new Amalgamated lodges organized
with considerable cost to the association
will go the way of all other labor organi-
g;.tions at this place. The workers at
these works were brought in during pre-
vious labor troubles and have lack of
confidence in each other and to this can
be attributed the unanimous manner in
which the men flocked to the mill at the
first intimation that the owners intended
to resume operations. Nearly all of the
men were assigned to their old positions
and soon everything was running as
smoothly as if there had been no inter-
ruptions. It is expected that in the
morning 800 men will be at work. A
few deputy sheriffs are stationed in the
mills. The two companies of the Six
tenth regiment will likely bewithdrawn
in few days as there is not the slightest
probability that their services will be
needed at Duquesne.

Office of the latter day or two ago, ana
went away with his pockets crammed
with the results of pilgrimage made by
them among the various merchants and
business houses of the city. The appear
ance of the spurious bills and coins show
that the work is that of experienced
hands, the best that has been seen in
this country since the breaking up of
the celebrated gangs of counterfeiters
some years ago.
There are three kinds of counterfeits
which have been used in the present is
sue The most important one is an ex-
cellent imitation of the recent issue of
silver certificates of the So denomina-
ton. The plate is the finest grade of
work. the vignette is very finely exc
cuted and the number is almost perfect.
The paper is of an excellent quality but
is deficient in fiber. A fold or crease
has been made in the bills to give the
appearance of thread, and it is not no.
ticed to be lacking in this respect with
out careful examination. The silver
coins are of the denomination Of 81 ard
25-cent pieces. The dollars are evi.
IDENTIFY the work of plaster molds, and
they are the best ever seen by the secret
service men. They are few grains
light and are a trife thicker than the
real dollar. They have an excellent
ring and are without the usual greasy
feeling of the counterfeit,

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The Herald says
the Republican campaign in the West
will be directed from Chicago by the
following committe, subject to the ma
tional executive committee: w. j.
Campbell, of Illinois; J. n. Huston, of
Indiana; E. Rosewater, of Nebraska; R.

Mr.. Campbell will be elected chairman.
The committee will have supervision
over the canvass in Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin, three states regarded as
doubtful, and all over the West. 1t is

but its decisions will be regarded as
settling questions pertaining to the
West.
The work of the executive committee
will be still further subdivided. William
O'Brady, the Kentucky member, will
have charge of the Southern states; j.
H. Manley and Sam Fessenden in New
England.
Another meeting of the executive
committee will be held Friday or Satur-
day. The compensation of the officers
and employees of the national committee
is to be fixed.

How His Heart Was Won

When Colonel Van Wyck was rum
ming for congress many years ago in the
Fifteenth New York district, there was
a certain Irishman who steadfastly re-
fused to give the old soldier any en-
couragement. The colonel was greatly
surprised, therefore, when Pat informed
him on election day that he had con-
cluded to support him.
"Glad to hear it, glad to hear it, said
the colonel. II rather thought you were
against me, Patrick"
"Well, sir" said Patrick, 81 wuz, and
whin We stud by me pigpen and talked
that day fur two hours or worse ye
didn't bulge me hairs breadth, sir;
but after ye wuz gone away got to
thinking now We reached yer hand over
the fence and scratched the pig on the
back till he laid down wild the pleasure
of it, and made up me mind that whir
a rale colonel was as sociable as that l
wasn't the man to vote agin him."-Ne-

SENATE AND HOUSE SETTLE Dis
PUTES AND ADJOURN.

An Appropriation of Two and Half
Millions Made for the Worlds Fair.
Conference Report on the Sundry Civil
Bill Adopted by Weary Legislators.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-The first ses.
sion of the Fifty-second congress has adj
journed. The dying hours were un-
eventful and lacking in any excitement.
and save for the president and two men,
bers of the cabinet and an unusually
large crowd of people in the galleries,
principally ladies dressed in summer at
tire, there was nothing to denote that
the gavel was about to fall adjourning
the two houses until December next
Nearly all the senators and representa-
tives in the city were in their seats when
the clock pointed to the hour for ad-
journment, and on the floors of both
houses and around the corridors and
clerks office there was hustle and ex-
element incident to the preparation of
bills which passed during the evening
for the presidents signature before the
session of congress expired.
Shortly after s o'clock, as is custom
airy on such occasions, the president ar
rived at the capitol and was Immediate
ly shown to his room, where he was en-
gagged for some minutes chatting with
senators and Vice President Morton.
Soon after arriving the worlds fair bill
appropriating two and half millions,
which was passed by both the senate
and house during the afternoon,
was presented for his signature, and in
a few minutes it became law. Other
bills followed. and for some minutes the
president was kept busy affixing his
name to various measures, consisting
principally, however, of bills of a pri-
vate nature. An unusually small num-
Der were presented to him and he soon
completed his task and spent the remain
der of his time talking to senator's and
others who happened in.

H. Clay King. the Memphis Murder, Will
Not Die on the Gallows.
MEMPHIS, Aug. Ex-Governor Blu
chanan has committed the sentence of
Colonel H. Clay King, who was to have
been hanged next Friday for the MUIR
der of David H. Posten on March Is,
1891, on a public street in this city.
Unusual pressure was brought to bear
upon the governor for the past few
days. Petitions signed by thousands
from Tennessee and Kentucky deluged
the chief executive, delegations from
military and civic societies beseiged
him, and the wife and daughter of the
condemned man and the wives and
daughters of other prominent citizens
made personal appeals. Senator Harris
and other leading politicians made sew
eral calls upon him and succeeded in
securing the desired Communication. The
prisoner heard the news with but little
interest. He has been indulging in
stimulants of late and seemed indiffer-
ent to what TRANSFERRED.

after his long address to the workmen,
in which he gave some good advice, a
committee was appointed and the agree

The news that the differences between
employers and employees are satisfac-
torily arranged is received with an ex-
preston of thankfulness on all sides.

CASEY,S MEASURE PASSED.
The Red River Valley Relief Bill Becomes

The Red River Valley Relief Bill Becomes
Law.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Cit was great
surprise to everybody when there was
no objection in the house to passing the
Casey bill granting relief to settlers on
the Red River valley lands A supreme
court decision held that the Manitoba,
now the Great Northern, was owner Of
the lands. After negotiations of last
summer had been reported Mr.. Casey
introduced a bill which in a somewhat
modified form has passed both houses.
Representative johnson has for several
days been trying to get recognition from
Speaker Crisp, and after the worlds ap-
preparation was out of the way and
number of other matters had been dis
posed of, the long sought recognition
was given, and, strange to say, there
was no objections to the bill. When the
bill came over to the senate, Senator
Pettigrew moved that the amendments
be concurred in and this being agreed
to the bill was sent to the president.
The success of this bill will give great
deal of joy to many settlers in the Red
River valley. At 10 o'clock p. m. the
president signed the bill and it became
law.
