BRAZlL'S BUILDING DEDICATED.
Commissioner Turnbuli Sounds a Warm
Ing-The Five Art Jurors.


CHICAGO, July 20.-Innocencio Lemos
Basto, acting president OF the republic of
Brazil. at the Columbian exposition, read
IN address yesterday at the dedication of
the Brazilian building which reflected the
patriotic feeling of the Brazilian residents
of Chicago, and expressed tho friendly
sentiment of the new South American
United States for the people Of the North
American continent. A brilliant assem-.
blage of invited guests gathered on both
floors of the gorgeous Brazilian building
to honor the event by their presence and
applause.
Commissioner Turnbull, of Florida,
stated in the national commission yester-
day that he thought the Agricultural
building was in imminent danger of being
destroyed by fire The commissioner
stated that he had visited that building,
and in the New Hampshire exhibit dis
covered pipe running to the roof which
was SO hot that he could not touch it. The
gallery, around the pipe, seemed to be
charred, and he thought from the inilam-
able nature Of the exhibits in that build
ing the commission should take action at
once. A committee was at once appointed
to convey this intelligence to the director
general
The forty fine arts jurors perfected their
organization by electing rs president w.
H. B. Davis, Of Great Britain; vice presi-
dent, Signor Del Moro, OF Italy; second
vice president, Signor Del Campio, of
Spain; secretary, Mr.. Dielman, Of the
United States. The Thatcher plan of
awards was rejected in toto. The jurors
unanimously decided that the system
should be as follows A member of tho
jury shall propose that certain artist be
awarded a medal. The motion is then to
be seconded and supported by majority
of the forty jurors before a medal is
awarded.

day were ss,40l

THE FRENCH DEMANDS.
An 0ltimatum Sent to the Govern
ment Of Siam. e.
EEAVY INDEMNITY IS DEMANDED.

1t VIII Cost tho siameso Three Million
Francs, Exclusive of tho Claims SIado
by Private PERSONAL Report That
Slam Is willing to Indemnity.
PARIS, July 20-The statement pub.
1lshed in The Soir relative to the sending of
an ultimatum to the Siamese government
is confirmed by a semi-official announce
ment. The ultimatum has been sent.
Siam will be given forty-eiRht hours in
which to accept or reject the demands
made upou her by France. M Develle sent
the ultimatum directly after the close OF
the session of tho chamber of deputies. 1t
was addressed to NJ. Pavie, the French res
ident at Bangkok.
The total indemnity claimed by France Is
S,0OO,OOO francs, exclusively of the claim
made by private persons The ultimatum
declares that if Siam does not agree to tho
demands made rpon her in the time speci-
fled the French feet will blockade the Me-
nam river, upon which the Siamese capi-
tai is located If the terms offered By
France are accepted the French will re-
quire as pledge of good faith permission
to occupy one of the forts or n safe anchor
age at the entrance to the Menam river
II the principle of the ultimatum is ac-
cepted, consideration Of the details may
be deferred until the arrival at Bangkok
of NJ. Lemyre dc Villiers, who is now on
the way to Siam as French plcnipotep-
tiary.
A dispatch from Bangkok says the Siam
ese government admits that the French
citizens whose injuries and losses have
been the subjects of negotiations and pro-
tests are entitled to indemnity, and has
offered to make deposit in bank pend
ing proc eedings to determine the amount
OF damages. Every attempt to get definite
statement of claims, however, is said to
have failed
The French are already in possession of
the Lower Mekong river, and if Siam con
cedes the demands now made upon her
the river will be made almost entirely
French. 1t was but short time ago that
the river was acknowledged to be n con-
siderable distance 70 the westward Of the
French sphere of influence in AMMAN. A
mountain range lies long distance to the
eastward Of the Mekong river, and the
French claimed no jurisdiction to the west
ward Of this range.
Recently France claimed the entire
water shed to the westward of the noun
tains to the river, and now she demands
that the Siamese evacuate the western
bank which, IL they do, will place both
banks of the river for the greater parts of
its length in possession of the French.
This would give France complete juris-
diction over certain portions of tho
Laos states that are now tributary to
Siam. In its more norlherly course, the
river separates the Shan states, under
British control, from the Laos states. II
France gets possession of the territory she
eventually desires, her newly acquired pos
sessions will border on what is practically
british territory.

HARTFORD July 2o,-A cyclonc storm,
accompanied with hail, passed over this
city 1t made terrible havoc with the to-
bacco crop in the town of East Hartford,
the largest tobacco growing district in the
fertile Connecticut valley The forward
tobacco crop is entirely ruined. and whole
fields of the plants, which before he storm
were looking exceedingly well and prom
ised large returns, are only worth plough

200 acres of tobacco under cultivation, and
the total loss will exceed SlO0, 900 and may
be much greater. 1t is II serious blow TO

DRAINAGE.
How to Lay Tile So as to Secure n Por
mRnent Improvements.


The following device, illustrated in
the cut below, is the best means that
John NJ. Bloss, director of the Oregon
experiment station, has found for So
curing perfect grade in laying tile
without an engineer to test the work as
it is completed:
1t will be observed that there are eight
stations. The survey shows the depths
Of each grade as follows: Station 0, 80
inches; station /, DO inches; station ., 35
inches; station 3, 40 inches; station 4,
AZ inches; station 8, B3 inches; station G,
Do inches; station z, so inches.
At the side of the grade stakes, stakes
about 4 feet in length are driven into
the ground, which have the station
marked above them. On tho side of
these stakes is a hook. The first stake
at o is driven into the ground until the
hook is just 80 inches above the grade
stake. This makes the bottom of the tile
just 60 inches below the hook. The sec
ond is driven into the ground until tho
hook is just 20 inches above the grade
stake, making the bottom of the tile just

DENPSEY'S CONVICTION
The Statement That It Was Sc
cured by Perjury. "
SOME PROMINENT MEN IMPLICATED

Gallagher Reiterates His Statement That
sey Was FaIse-Names of the "Prom-
inents" Concerned in the Plot withheld.
PIrTsBuRG, July eO.-At the western
penitentiary District Attorney Clarence
Burleigh, Attorneys l.. X Porter and W.
J. Bremen, Notary Public G. G. Lee and
Stenographer J. Beal met to take the de-
positions of Gallagher and Davidson, serv-
ing time in the Homestead poi.oning
cases. Gallagher was before the commit
teo over two hours. Davidson's examina-
tion occupied about twenty minutes The
district attorney conducted the cxamina-
tion, but declined to give out anything for
publication.
1t was learned however, that Gala
gher's confession in regard to Hugh Demp-
sey and the Homestead poison ease is much
more sweeping in its details than had been
imagined by the general public. A gentle
man who has heard the whole story saya
Gallagher's statement not only duplicates
Piukerton detectives hui several men much
more prominent in business and profess
sional life He stated positively the gen
tleman said, that every word he said
against Dempsey on the stand was false.
ilt lulpilctttN DplectlNe y ora, OIL tDe flllK-
erton agency, and gives the names of many
others who were instrumental in Demp-
sey's conviction.
He further states that he never admin
istered poison or croton oil to the men at
Homestead and that Dempsey never pro-
posed that he should. He sticks to the
story that the s25 Dempsey gave him was
loan to protect his furniture. To sub
stantiate this the defense will show by
members of the firm who sold him the
furniture that they were pushing him for
the money. ..s..
Davidson made a statement similar to
the Gallagher story, except that he was
not in the plot as long MS the man who con-
victed Dempsey. They both seemed will
ing to make their confessions under oath
and stand by it, even if it means II length
ening of their terms of imprisonment.
Dempsfy's attorneys have matters in such
shape that they will corrcborate the con
fession by other witnesses.

of s2,O00,000 aud surplus of one-third that

the right time and under favorable condi-
tions will vitiaic and destroy the hot winds
which arise in Kansas, and at times have
been known to sweep this country, burn
ing and killing the growing crops. This
secret will be placed on sale and revealed
to residents of townships. counties and
other political divisions who put up the
money. When the wind is blowing hot
and strong from the south the company
will undertake to bring a counter wind
from the ice fields of the frozen north

BLOODY BATTLE AvERTED.

Sherifrs Posse.
TOPEKA, July ao,-The strike stua tion
In southern Kansas is serious, and but for
the appearance of sheriff's posse Mt Weir
City yesterday bloody battle would have
been fought. In the Kansas and Texas
companys mines number of men have
been working for two weeks. President
Walters, of the Miners union, was deter
mined to make them quit work at all haz-
ards. All night striking miners were
gathering east of Weir City, and by
O'Clock in the morning 400 strikers were
ready TO commence the march for No i8
shaft, belonging to the Kansas and Texas
Coal company, for the purpose of forcing
the men to quit work
The No. IS men, about twenty-five in
number, were heavily armed, and when
warned to return to their homes they de-
clared that they would face death rather
than see their families want for bread and
with drawn revolvers marched into tho
mines. The sheriff had been telegraphed
for, and was on the ground with posse,
which prevented pitched battle.

woman asked how much was to pay. The
doctor named his fee The patient thought
it was too much. He, however, would not
take less, and as the woman refused to give
him the fee he began to yawn. Yawning,
as every one knows, is infectious. The
