AS He Touchod tho Button.

As the President of the United States
was about to touch the button that set
in motion the vast machinery OF the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, he ut
tered sentiments worthy OF his high
Office and Of the great occasion.
Tho address, commendable also for
its conspicuous brevity, is as noticeable
for its exceeding simplicity as for its
commanding dignity. 1t is a produc.
ton that must satisfy the pride Of his
countrymen and challenge the worlds
admiration.
A smaller man would have said less

nounced success on SO great an occa.
sion is q distinguished triumph.

Anottler Floattng Palace.

Fhe Campania, OF the Cunard line,
which has just arrived in New York, in
point Of size and equipmenttakes thelead
OF everything afloat. More than this, she
has broken the record Of first voyages
and bids fair to break all speed records,
She came over in six days, eight hours
and thirty four minutes without fore
ing,
When her machinery gets in thor.
ough working order it is believed that
she will make the voyage in Ave days.
The Campania's best days run was SOB
knots, the best made on any first voy.
age. Tho accommodations on this
steamer equal those of the best modern
hotels, and In luxury excel anything
that has boon seen afloat The follow.
ing comparative statement is interest.

The utter failure OF the Great Eastern,
built more than thirty years ago, was
supposed 10 establish the fact that
no approach to her sizo could be
made commercial success. The
Campanla is but ten feet shorter than
the Great Eastern. The new liner has
loss beam by seventeen feet and a foot
moro draught, features by which her
proportions arc improved. Her tonnage
Is about q sixth less and her horse-
power four times as great. being half as
much greater than the most powerful
Of her predecessors in this respect.
Aside from the dlffere nee in proper.
tons, aad Of still more moment, is the
very great difference in horsepower
between tho two steamers. 1t will be
noticed that the Great Eastern's tonnage
was nearly three times her horsepower,
while tho Campania's horsepower is
nearly twice her tonnage.
There Is of course a limit to the tri-
umphs OF marine architecture and all
that goes with it. but it is reasonable
expectation that this progressive sci.
ence will at no distant day develop
successful steamer of tonnage equal to
that OF tho Great Eastern. Such tri-
umph will show something like forty
thousand horse power
With every advance in steamship
building comes not only greater com.
fort but greater safety, tho considera.
ton Of supreme importance to them
that go down to the sea in ships.

Bitter Race War in the Streets of Parrs-
burg, Pa.

SCRANTON, July Yesterday was
pay day at the mines at Parrsburg. The
Huns ahd Poles of the town began to
drink heavily. Last night Hun and
Pole engaged in a fight in saloon and
their countrymen took sides with them.
A free fight resulted. The police arrived
and jailed four hungarians. The Hun
garians afterward held an Indignation
meeting and proceeded in a body to the
Jail, where:they overpowered the kee per
and liberated the prisoners. The Poles
objected to the actions of the Huns and
race war commenced, lasting three hours,
during which terror reigned. All the
saloons in town were taken possession of
and the officers were driven off. Over 80
men were injured, three fatally. Many
windows were broken with stones and
clubs Shortly before midnight Deputy
Sheriff Craig and an armed posse over
awed the rioters and restored peace.
Many arrests will follow.

SUN AND FLAME.
Wyoming Literally Burning Up-Great
Forest Fires-112 in the Shade.


BUFFALO, wy, July 23.--For some days
at Fort Mckinney the temperature has
been 112o in the shade and the the mer-
curry in the sun stands 1902 to 145o. This
is the hottest weather for eight years.
Not drop of rain has fallen for nine
weeks and the range is completely de-
stroyed. Buffalo is surrounded by for
est fires. To the southwest 20 miles the
fire has been burning with more or less
severity since July Z. The fire at one
time came down into the valley and de-
stroyed all the fields, pastures. fences,
corrals, etc. The cavalry troops from
Fort Mckinney went out to endeavor to
extinguish the fire, but nothing can be
done without rain. Ten thousand acres
of choice timber has already been de-
stroyed just east of Buffalo. Another
fire broke out in the Red Hills, burning
some 10 square miles of grass which " 8
the last range feed in the locality. The
fire came into the flats approaching Buff
falo. All the neighboring ranchers and
some citizens and fremen from the town
fought it all night, getting it cut off.
John Hillsby was arrested and fined
heavily for setting fires on the mountain,
having carelessly left burning camp
fire. To the north another huge timber
fire can be seen in Sheridan county.

WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
Trial of the Engine of the Great Cruiser
Maine.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The official
government trial of the engines of U. s.
armored cruiser Maine ended successful
ly this afternoon at the Brooklyn navy
yard. The trial just completed extended
over two days period and has been
most searching and severe throughout.
The massive machinery Of the war
ship, weighing as it does hundreds of
tons, worked in its various parts with all
the smoothness and nicely of precision
which one would expect to observe in a
finely adjusted watch.
There was not in the trial of either
yesterday or today the slightest acci-
dent to mar the test, and hardly evident
at any time the slightest trace of pound
ing. Little or no water was used upon
the hearings, and such as was turned on
was wholly as precautionary measure,
Today's test of the Maine's engines
was confined to the port engine. In the
opinion of members Of the official board
the port eugtne has performed better
work than did the starboard engine or
Friday and developed more than 300t
horse power.
The trial of the engines of the Maine
just ended will result in the payment te
the N. f. Palmer, Jr., company, the
builders, the sum of $4,000, being hall
OF the sum remaining unpaid to the con
tractors.
The final $4,000, including bonns
money, moneysfor extra horse power OBJ
tanned, will be paid to the contractors
when the Maine is given her official
steaniing trial at sea. This latter tria
will be made when the armor is in place
and the vessel brought down to hef NEAR

THE WHITE CITY AS SILENT AS A
CITY OF THE DEAD.

In the Grounds at the Worlds Fair Yes
terday Few Pass Holders and Guards
Felt Lonesome-Outsidea an Intoxicated
Individual Called for Assistance in
Tearing Down the Fence-That Was
the Only Excitement.
CHICAGO, July 23.-The white city
was deserted today, and the warm sun
shown upon desolate thoroughfares,
lonely Columbian guards. and tx few
inhabitants in the Midway Plaisan-. who
left that quarter early in the day TO view
the big buildings in the park. The Sun
day closing order was rigidly enforced,
and any person who entered the exposi-
ton grounds had to prove that his pres
ence there was absolutely necessary.
All the buildings were closed, and the
sign ''Closed Today placed on the
doors of few state homes, was entirely
unnecessary, as no persons in the park
cared to do any visiting or sightseeing.
All the electric and steam launches and
gondolas were tied up; no fountain was
playing, and the thousands of booths
were barren of wares. Altogether it
was the most complete s'closed" Sunday
the Worlds Fair has known. Only two
gates were open. and these were for pass
holders. Many caterers endeavored to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
clean up their restaurants and put every
thing in condition for the crowds of the
coming week, but the gate-keepers were
of the opinion that it was not necessary
49, al ant r1In 4. H,.k
one or two exceptions refused to allow
the workmen to pass in. There was no
trouble of any kind from persons wish
ing to enter the grounds. The nearest
approach to a disturbance was at 8
o'clock, when drink-hushed individual
mounted box across thestreet from the
9th street entrance, and called vocifer-
ously for a hundred volunteers to aid
him in tearing down section of the
fence to allow the poor laboring men to
see the fair free. A policeman stopped
the harangue and took the man away in
a patrol wagon. The crowds outside
the gates along Stony Island avenue were
small during the entire day, and the nu-
merous side shows did nothing.
Towards noon today, a man appeared
at the Gath street entrance and offered
ticket for admission. He was refused,
and took the numbers of the gatemen
who refused to let him in. It is sup
posed he was securing evidence for pros
ecuting the exposition officials for con-
tempt of court. Judge Stein having
granted an injunction to restrain the Off
I clals from closing the fair Sundays.
Hereafter fireworks will not be per-
mitted on the fair grounds, or will have
to be set off away from the buildings.
Last night bomb was sent up, and be-
building, crashed through a skylight and
set fire to curtain stretched below. Had
it not been for the prompt work of the
fire department, the building, perhaps,
would have been consumed. Two fire.
men climbed 100 feet upon the big beams
and tore down the burning cloth.

HANGED AND BURNED.
Five Thousand stormed the Jail to Cap
ture Their Victim.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 23.--Lee Walk
er, negro who assaulted Miss Mollie
McCadden and a colored girl, was
lynched here last night in spite of the
fact that 25 well armed deputy sheriffs
guarded the jail. A crowd of 5000
broke down the Jail, knocked Sheriff
McLendon senseless with a chair, bat
tered down the door and dragged Walk
er from his cell. He fought fercely and
bit several men severely. He was
stabbed and slashed until the blood
streamed from him in torrents. He was
hanged to telegraph pole two blocks
away. The corpse was mutilated. The
lynchers were nearly all railroad men.
One fell while the victim was being car
ried to the telegraph pole and the crowd
trampled on him, probably injuring him
fatally. Sheriff McLendon was badly
hurt. After the body was cut down the
mob raided lumber yard and building
a bonfire. burned the negro's nody.
