Preserving the Battle Lines.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The spe-
cial committee named to adopt a
plan for the preservation Of the
battle lines at Gettysburg must re-
port to the Secretary of War by
this date. Last May the secretary
appointed Col. j. p. Nicholson, of
Pennsylvania; Col. j. b. Batch
helder, of Massachusetts, and Gen
eral w. II. Forney, of Alabama, a
commission, under the authority
given by act of Congress APP
proved March 3, 1898, to take such
immediate steps as the laws per-
nit to preserve the lines Of battle
at Gettysburg and to report to the
Secretary of War on or before today
a definite plan for executing, with
in the limits of the appropriation,
the further provisions of that law
relative to the battlefield. They
have found that the damage to the
battlefield had all been done, as the
work of excavation and filling was
practically completed. Aboutfo four
miles of the railroad r laid with
rails, and the remainder of the
route is graded. The greatest in
jury has been flinicted in one
stretch of about two miles of the
route, which runs in front of
Bloody angle and Death Valley
and skirts Round Top. The report
will be confined to a statement of
the actual condition of affairs in
the battlefield.

TWO HEADS MASHED.
Two Little Children Fa / From a
Second Story Window.

An accident happened on the cor
ner of San Saba and Hidalgo
streets yesterday afternoon which
proved to be of a serious nature.
In the second story of a dwell
ling on the above named corner,
occupied by the Reich family, two
children, Sarah, aged 8 years and
Jake, aged 3, We're playing. Their
attentions were attracted to the
window, by the passing of a large
steam roller. While they were
eagerly watching the machine
pass, the boy lost his grip and fell
to the pavement below, striking
his head on a rock. Sarah, in her
endeavOr to catch her little
brother, also lost her balance,
and fell, landing in almost
the same place. Both of the
little ones conveyed to
the house, and We're unconscious
for hours. A physician was sum-
moned and treated the cases as he
thought best.
A reporter for the LIGHT called
at the Reich home this morning to
ascertain as to the condition of the
children and was told that they
were better. Jake is hurt more
seriously than his sister and hopes
of his recovery r not entertained.
A later report was circulated to
the effect that one Of the injured
had died from the effects of the
fall, and the reporter made in
quires, learning that the rumor
was without foundation.

STILL SHAKEY
At Denver, Although the Report
Says it Looks Better.

DENVER, Col, July 20.-There
will apparently be no more bank
failures in Denver. The panic
wore itself out yesterday with the
failure of the Peoples, German and
State National banks. This morn
ing when the Colorado, Denver
City and American National banks
opened their doors, there was
hardly a dozen depositors in all
of them at the paying tellers' win
dows. At the First and Colo
RADIO National banks a long
string of depositors reaching
nearly to the street We're lined up
in front of the receiving teller's
window, and money was going
back into the banks vaults, almost
as rapidly as it was withdrawn
during the past three days. The
German, State and Peoples Ma
tiOnal banks could pay three for
one, if they could only realize
on securities. There may be a few
commercial failures in the city
within the next few days as a re-
suit of the suspension of banks,
but it is believed, that in no in
stance, whether banking or
commercial house, will failure
be complete and resumption
of business will surely follow
shortly. 1t is stated today that
the Mcnamara Dry Goods House,
which failed Monday for 100000,
have settled with their principal
creditors, and will resume business
Monday.

Secretary Morton Talks.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 2O.-The
Secretary of Agriculture, Morton,
was in the city for a few hours,
yesterday, and when asked last
evening whether or not the tax
of the circulating medium would
be repealed, he stated that he did
not know. "NO man can tell what
the next congress will do" he said.
When asked regarding his own
sentiments he said: 81 have
always favored the repeal of ten per
cent tax. 1t seems to have the
purpose of destroying business.
OF course, however, | don't favor
wild cat banks" He spoke enter
tainingly upon the modern mode
of banking business, showing how
largely Americans are people of
faith in their business dealing. at
is all done on paper now a days.
said he "and it is a good thing"
The secretary left late last even
ing for Detroit.

Three Days for the Swedes.

Chicago, July 2O.-The Swedes
are said to constitute the third ma
tiOnality in point of numbers, in
the cosmopolitan population of
the northwest. This fact will make
the celebration Of Swedish days at
the Fair, today, tomorrow, and
Saturday, notable events. The fes-
tival will commence with a parade
through the business districts to-
day.
The procession will be led by the
American Union of Swedish sing
ers and composed mainly of Swed-
ish military and civic societies.
Starting from the lake front at
$3.50 a. M, a line of march will be
followed through these streets:
Monroe, State, Lake, Fifth avenue,
Madison, Monroe, Fifth avenue,
Jackson, LaSalle, Adams, State,
Jackson, Wabash avenue, Congress,
Michigan avenue, viaduct and
boat landing for Jackson Park.
At this point the organization
will be joined by a division of
church societies, and all will be
transported by boat to the fair
grounds. The parade will continue
through Jackson park from the
pier, and will be reviewed by the
royal Swedish commissioners and
invited guests from the balcony of
the Swedish pavilion. After the
parade a concert will be given in
Festival hall and after the concert
a celebration, consisting of
speeches, song and music, will be
held in front of the Swedish pa
viliOn.
Concerts will be given on the
two succeeding days at Festival
hall. Music is to be the prominent
feature of these Swedish days. At
the first concert in Central Music
hall distinguished artists from
Sweden will appear. Prominent
among these is C.. F. Lundquist, a
distinguished baritone, who has
never before been heard on this
continent. The grand chorus of
500 trained Swedish singers is
made up of different singing sOcie-
ties from all parts of this country,
composing the American Union Of
Swedish Glee club, of Chicago.

Worlds Fair Pigeon Flights.

CHICAGO, July 20.-It is conf
IDENTIFY expected that some of the
HOming pigeon flights for the
Worlds fair prizes will be started
about this date, weather and other
conditions permitting. With the
exception of st. Louis the majority
of the clubs entered hail from
New York, Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia, Boston and other erstern
points. One of ChicagO's leading
clubs is the Columbian Homing
and Pigeon club, of which Lewis
Zeitz is president. The club num-
bers thirty-tive members. The
birds of this club are trained
to fly II, 80, 100, $50, 200, 300, 400,
$50 and 800 miles. When they are
loosed for the latter distance it is
the aim to have them return to the
starting point the same day. 1t is
hoped to loose the pigeons at To-
peka, Kansas, within a day or two,
their destination being Chicago.
The Columbian club flies over the
Southwestern course, which fol-
lows the Santa Fe system. The
Lake View Homing Pigeon club is
another strong affair. It's members
fly over the Northwestern course.
Goldman, of Brooklyn, a noted
Eastern %fancicr, is expected in Chi
cago in time to see the opening
Worlds Fair flight.

China to Take a Hand

TTENTZEN, July Authorization
has been received here from Pekin,
to the effect that China has taken
measures to support Siam against
the French. Siam has for many
years paid tribute to China, but
only as a matter of usage and con-
venience and it is now apparent that
China is determined to assist the
Siamese against French encroach-
ments upon their territory. The
interference of China will add a
most interesting feature to the
Franco-Siamese dispute, and will
probably result in a modification
of some of the demands of the.
French, as contained in her ulti-
matum.
