A RIOT IN CHICAGO
woRkMEN AND POLICE CONFLICT
A Procession Invaded by the Police and
Several Broken Heads the Result

CHICAGO, Aug. ga short but bloody
riot occurred in front of the city hall
at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. Police

thoroughfare. Al the corner of Wash

Inspector Ross, who was in his office

10 clear a passage for the mail wagon.
This angered the crowd. Near the
sidewalk was buggy belonging TO j.
II. Martindale, whom the crowd direct

not do and the mob seized the buggy
and threw it upon the sidewalk with a
crash.
It was when Inspector Ross at this
moment followed by three officers
rushed into The crowd and ordered it
back thai the rioting commenced.
Ross was struck on the head with a
paving stone and felled to the earth.
The officer regained mis- feet and at

War By a BIunder.

According to the account of the King
OF Dahomey, the war between him and
the French was the outcome OF stupid
bluuder, or was thrust upon him by the
French in a most high handed manner.
He says that the French resident at
Porto Novo complained to him Of the
conduct of some Of the tribes on the
river Oueme. and that he sent his army
10 punish them. The French, hearing
the firing, proceeded up the river aud,
without stopping to look into the mat
ter, opened fire on the Dahomey troops,
killing a number OF them. The troops
returned the fire, for which, when they
returned to Aoomey, he punished them
severely. He then sent an embassagc OF
peace to the French resident, but his
oyertures we're rejected. He cites the
fact that he permitted the French mer-
chants to leave Whydah at the opening
Of hostilitics, as an evidence OF his
pesceable attentions. lie maintains that
he did all that he conld to keep out Of

Idaho's Glacial Disir CT.

james Wendell and Lycurgus Sars6eldy
.wo Boston scientists, have returned from
he eastern part Of Idaho CoHnty, Idaho,
where they have been investigating the
exported discovery of several glaciers and
placiaI lakes. F. ,. Schmnhorn. an
lgent Of Worlds Fair Commissioner
Wells. was the discoverer of the sur
9rising phenomena, and the scientists
,eports agree with the description given
by Schmuhorn.
Mr.. Wendall said that he and his
companions passed over miles of terri
tory that had never been marked by the
footprints of modern mau, though the
discovery Of peculiar human and animal
ZONES led them to believe that at some
period prehistoric bands OF savages had
made that unknown land their habita-
lion.
Continuing, Mr.. Wendall said that
the silence of the dark gorges through
which they passed was appalling. Aui'
mails were scarce, aud iu some instances
lhe deer were so fearless that they would
ellow the explorers to come within a
dozen feet of them. The grandeur OF
the scenery, Mr.. Wendall said, was ua-
cEccled anywhere in the known world.
The two men climbed one Of the eleven
high peaks that are not marked upon the
carefully compiled maps, aud rs they
ascended its percipitous slopes discov-
cred many lodges Of IOw-grade gold and
silver orc.
The eleven peaks were snow.cappel,
their SUBMITS towering far above the
line of perpetual snow. The glacial
field extended 1000 feet above the snow
line. In area it was nearly as large as
the Alpine glacial field, but not so oeep'
The Ice was dense, but generally as clear
as crystal. Beneath it could be seea
series of fifteen glacial lakes.
After securing many specimens OF the
fora, fossil fauna, aud minerals OF the
ghostly region, together with sackfuI
of the honey coined human bones, the
naturalists returned to civilization via
the town of Shoup.
Old settlers say the places visited by
Wendall and Sarsfeld have not been
previously explored by prospector5 be-
cause they were the haunts o! murderous
Indians for many yeats. Several miners
who went out toward the snowy peaks
never returned, aud many weird tales OF
blood were related of the unknown land.
During the last few years numerous
parties have attempted 70 reach the dis
tant mountains, but as they were mount
cd they could not penetrate the rough
country. Wcndall aud Sars6cld were on
loot, and they devoted seven weeks to
the interesting trip. Three of the miu-
eral specimens secured By Sqrsheld are

There is u danger to which ocean
steamships are liable and which is per
haps more deadly than the breaking OF
the main shaft. This is in collidiug
with one OF the derelic. vessels that at

these derelicts have been drifting about
on the Atlantic for some time past di.
rectly in the path Of the big liners, aad

for this month shows that at least three

path of one OF the transatlantic liners
These derel;ct vessels are the Norwe'

this char has been issued there are two

The Sturdy Eskim2s.

There is a marked difference between
the Eskimos OF South aud North Green.
land in favor of the latter. This is true,
apparently, of their physical, mental
and moral conditions. They are a
sturdier race. and their walk much more
graceful aud natural. This last charac-
t,istic is especially noticeable in the
%Ssmen. who are comparatively free from
the hideous waddIe affected by their
southern sisters. The men and women
are handsomer and stronger. Their in
telIigence seems far greater, aud their
ingenuity more wonderful.
It is remarkable the amount of cold
these people can stand without apparent
suffering. This is due to a curious pro-
vision of Nature, which has placed
directly beneath the skin a layer Of
blubber SC thick as to entirely obliterate
apy sign of muscles or chords. Thus
protected, they need much less clothing
than would be imagined. Indeed, the
bottoms Of their cooletahs, or coats, and
the tops Of their nannOkies, or trousers,
meet go scantily that, winter or summer,
whenever they stoop or raise their arms,
large portion of the bodies OF the
wearers are Immediately exposed So
great is their insensibiIity to cold that
I have seen them walking uucon-
cernedly, for ten minute or MORE bare
footed in ice.cold water, which in less
than half that time would have made me
or the average white man almost howl
with pain.
The eyesight of the Eskimos is
phenomenal. Objects scarcely discorni-
BILE to any of our party were plainly
discernible TO them and they are unerring
in their aim when in pursuit Of game,
which, contrary to the usual belief in
civilized countries, abounds in almost
fabulous quantities, at least in many Sec
tions of the coast line-reindeer, foxes
and rabbits on the land, aud seal, wal
