AWFUL DEATH At THE FAIR,
Man Falls 40 Feet from the Roof Of
The Manufacturers HnIldInr

the Manufactures Building.
CHICAGO, June 21.-A number OF
painters were at work putting screens
under the glass roof OF the Manufac-
lures building. The men sat on n
swinging scaffold while they fastened
the screens TO the iron arches. They
were nearing the apex of the roof
when one of the ropes slipped and the
scaffold carccncd slightly. John
Thornton, one of the men, stood mp
and leaned over the edge OF the stag
ing to tighten the rope. In doing so
he lost his balance and fell to the floor,
10 feet below.
The accident occurred almost direct
ly over one of the Wellington Catering
Company's restaurants. A number of
people were eating breakfast at the
time. Their first intimation that an
accident had taken place was n terri
fed cry from the unfortunate man and
ordinations Of horror from his com
panions. Looking up they saw the
body falling, turning over and over as
IL descended to the floor. 1t seemed
ages to the terrified spectators before
they heard the awful sound which told
that the body had struck the floor
Guards who ran at once TO the spot
saw few slight shivcrs shake Thorn
toms frame. Then he was still. An
ambulance was summoned and he was
taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where he died in one hour. The body
was removed to Rolston's morgue.

az ANoMALous POSITION

Occupied by Minister ThurStnn, of HUI
wniI-Secrctary Greslium's Position.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ct would
probably not distress Minister Thurston
il Secretary Gresham we're to send his
passports. This would admittedly be an
act OF war and would place the admins
traliop still further on the defensive.
But Secretary Gresham hasno intention
Of giving Minister IhurstOn an oppor'
tnnity to be made martyr OF ana he
will not send him his passports.
On THO other hand it is probable that
Secretary Gresham would not be sorry
il Minister ThurstoE wcro TO demand
his passports. His position With rea-
lion to the state department IS an
anomalous one. Diplomatic officers OF
the United States government have ar
raigned him on serious charges to which
his statement was reply. This is suh.
cienE grounds for him to base demand
for his passports upon. The intention
to commit an unfriendiv act upon his
government has not been communl-
Gated to him oiicially' and is therefore
according to diplomatic usage unknown
TO him. But he has ample grounds for
demanding Information OF official sorces
and II il is refused him calling for his
passports. But the Hawaiian minister
will probably not give up the advantage
he has in being in diplomatic relations
with this government, even though they
are strained.
Secretary Grcsham's theory is that
the provisional government OF Hawaii
comes TO an end with the notification
from this government: that annexation
with the United States is denied, the
government having been formed for the
purpose OF annexation. He may hold
under this theory that Mr.. Thurstoa
no longer holds any diplomatic relation
10 this government as his own govern
menl has ceased TO exist
