FRESNO, Aug. 21.-A camping party
just in from the west side report an out
fit was found near the banks of Cold
Slough on the James place. which con-
sisted Of a cart with a single harness, a
valise containing underclothes, roll of
blankets and quilt tied in the bottom of
the cart; also an old rope tied to tree
near by. The leather was rotten from
exposure, and everything bore the ap-
pearance ofhaving been there since spring.
Nothing was marked to lead to identifi-
cation. Mexicans in the vicinity said
that stray horse was on the ranges soon
after the spring floods. but disappeared.
The superstition is that the owner was
either drowned or had been murdered.

Manifestations of Intense Feeling
Against the French.
ROME, Aug. 2l.-The troubles growing
out Of the fighting between the French
and italian workingmen at Aigues-AIo
ties, France, threaten to involve grave in
ternational complications. The popular
Indignation of the Italians is finding vent
in demonstrations that are evidently in
tended to coerce the Government into de-
manding an apology from France for an
attack upon the Italians, and the payment
of an indemnity to compensate the fami-
lies of those Italians killed.
Riots directed against Frenchmen have
occurred in many provincial towns, and
the situation is considered extremely
grave.
The most serious outbreak in the popu-
lar feeling against the French occurred in
this city late last night, when mob at
tempted to burn the French Embassy.
Some of the rioters carried cans Of petro
leum, and did not hesitate to openly de-
clare their intention to use it in destroy
ing the Embassy. The authorities had
anticipated that an attack might be at
tempted on the Embassy, and a strong
force of troops was detailed to guard the
building.
The rioters, however, attempted to carry
out their threats to burn the Embassy
Notwithstanding the presence of the SOL
diers. The latter charged upon the mob.
but the mob held its ground for time
and fought stubbornly. 1t was not until
several charges were made that they be-
gan to retreat, fighting all the time.
Forty-fve 0ters were arrested. Many
OF the mob were wounded by sabers.
Rioting in provincial towns was only
quelled by the use OF troops, the police
being utterly powerless to handle the
mob. Further developments are anxi-
ously awaited.
TRYING TO START ANTI-FRENCH RIOTS.
ROME, Aug. q. Several hundred
workingmen trieI to start anti French
riots late this afternoon, but were dis

wounded and many arrested. The Mayor
issued manifesto exhorting the people
to remain calm, and trust to the Govern
ment for satisfaction Of their demands.
Disorderly crowds shouted in the streets
of the city this evening. Ia Genoa anti
French demonstrations were in progress
throughout the evening. The rioters
burned an omnibus and many street
booths. In Naples several collisions be-
teen the police and anti-French agi-
RS have taken place this evening.
People were marching in streams at 10

WASHINGTON. Aus. 2l.-The impress
sion is growing about the Capitol that the
present extraordinary session of Congress
may come to an end about the middle of
September. This appears to be based
upon confidence in the possibilities of a
compromise being entered into within
that period upon the financial question.
Nearly all the important legislation ac-
complished in recent years has been the
result Of compromise and the outcome of
conference committees. Those persons
who hold to the opinion that an adjourn

his reason for the delay that he was

Decorative Iron Work.

The production of wrought iron work of
decorative character has increased very
much in the last few years, and some of the
gates, grilles and ratings now turned out
in this country are of artistic excellence
that has never been surpassed, according
TO many of the best Judges. The tools used
are of the simplest nature-a hammer, pill
ers, pinchers, chisels and gravers, and the
quality of the work depends on the skill of
the smith The operation of making lit
tie spiral or inches long will show the
nature of the work. The smith heats up a
bar of iron and then hammers it for a few
seconds. By repeating this a second time
| the bar is considerably elongated and ia
pered off at the end until it resembles a
rats tail.
After third heating it is rounded over
the nose of the anvil by series of light
quick blows of the hammer. By repeated
heating and hammering additional curves
are produced, until finally all the spirals
are hammered into tight coil like the
cOnvOlutions of snail shell. The pinchers
are then brought into play, coils are forced
apart and drawn out until they form a
tapering spiral. A deft touch of the pliers
on the rat tail point gives it its exact kink
and the object is complete. All the work
is done by eye, and the entire operation
takes but three or four minutes.-New
York Telegram.

There was very shrewd looking person

When the result was announced, he dis
covered to his chagrin that he had voted

kept mum, and sure enough few days
later it appeared that he had voted right
and that the other fellows were wrong.
Then it occurred to him to find out tn,
