1T Looks SERIOUS.
The Italians Are Hot for Revenge Upon
France-RIoting in the Small Towns

The italians Are Hot for Revenge Upon
France-Rioting in the Small Towns
ROME, August 81. - The troubles
growing out OF the fight between the
French and Italian workingmen en-
ployed at the salt works at Argues
Marles, France, threaten to invole
grave international complications.
1t is rot in Rome alone that the pop
ular indignation at what the Italians
consider a gross break OF international
comfy, is fndidg vent in demonstra-
tions that are evidently intended 10 CO.
cree the Government into demanding
an apology from France for the attack
upon Italians and the payment OF an
indemnity TO compensate the families
OF these Italians who were killed.
Riots directed against the Frenehmen
have occurred In many Of the provin'
cial towns, and the situation is eonsid-
cred exceedingly grave.
The most serious outbreak OF popular
feeling against the French occurred In
this city last night, when hooting mob
attempted to burn the French moassy.
Some Of the rioters carried cans OF
petroleum, and did not hesitate TO
openly declare that IL was their inten-
ton to use it in destroying the embassy.
The authorities. however, had antici-
pated that an attack might be at
tempted on the EN- bassy, and a strong
force Of troops was detailed to guard the
building. The rioters, however attempted
TO carry out their threats 10 burn the
embassy, Notwithstanding the presence
OF the soldiers. They were ordered TO
dispense but refused to do so, whereup-
on the soldiers charged upon them. The
mob held their grounds for q time and
fought stubbornly. II was not until
several charges upon them were made
that they began to retreat, fighting all
the time. Forty-fve OF the rioters
were arrested. Many Of the mob who
were at the fore front Of the fighting
were wounded by the saores that the
soldiers used unsparingly.
The rioting in the provincial towns
was only quelled by the use Of troops,
the police being utterly powerless to
handle the mob. Further developments
are anxiously awaited.

HOW TIE BANK WAS LOOTED.
President Hsughey and Others Implica-
ted in the Robbery Under Arrest

President Haughey and Others Implica-
ted in the Robbery Under Arrest.
INDIANAPoLIs, August 21.--This
afternoon Theodore ?. Haughey, Presl-
dent Of the wrecked Indianapolis Ma
tional Bank, was arrested at his home
near this city on a warrant sworn ont
by Receiver Hawkins, charging him
with embezzlement and misapplicatlon
of funds and credits of the bank from
January I, 1892, until July "a, 1898.
simultaneously with the arrest of
Mr.. Haughey the federal officers arrest
ed his son, Schuyler @. Haughey, Pres
ident of the Indianapolis Curled Hair
Works and the Indianapolis Glue
Works, and, little later, Francis COT
fin, President Of the indianapolis Cab
met Company, Percival Coffin, Vice
President Of the Company, and Albert
T. Reed, the Secretary Of the same
Company. Young Haughey, the Collins
and Reed were charged with having
aided and Allotted the elder Haughey
TO the embellishments and mlsappropri-
alton Of credits charged against him.
The arrests were made at the in
stance of United States District Attor-
ney Frank Burke, who returned to-day
from Washington, where he was in con-
sultation with the attorney-general and
Comptroller Eckels. The arrests were
made as quietly as possible, and the ar
rested men were taken before the
United States Commissioner, who re-
leased them on bond furnished as fol-
lows: Theodore p. Haughey, $4,000;
Schuyler C. Haughey, $4,000; Francis
A. Coffin, $4,000; Percival Coffin,
IS, 600; Albert T. Reed, S., 600.
The bonds were given to secure an
appearance August %, for prelimi-
nary hearing.
The Indianapolis national bank closed
its doors July % and gave its reason for
what it claimed TO be temporary sus-
pension, the stringency in the money
market. Bank Examiner Young was
detailed by the Comptroller of Currency
and, as IL soon became apparent that
the bank had been looted, q receiver
was appointed. 1t developed that the
bank had loaned its money In a reck-
less and criminal manner, $500, 600 hav-
ing been loaned to Percival aud Francis
Coffin, Of the indianapolis Cabine Com
pany, and almost as much to Schuyler
Haughey, son OF the President OF the
bank. These sums were loaned in sums
of $50, 600 and notes were given for them
by various and in some instances IN
known individuals
As soon as sufficient evidence had
been gathered to warrant the arrest Of
the parties, receiver Hawkins swore out
warrants. Reed is looked upon as a
tool in the hands Of the Cof1ias. The
general opinion IS that he is innocent
of any intentional wrong, but was taken
advantage Of by his employer aud used
as a stool pigeon.

Thousands of Farmers migrating rowsrC
Mt Gratpa VA.


nit. Gretna, pa.
MOUNT GRETNA, PA, July 21.-Mount
Gretua Park IS the Mecca toward which
Alliance members from all over the
United States are journeying. The &C.
casion is the first encampment OF the
National Farmers Alliance. Although
Saturday was announced as the opening
day, the formal opening was deferred
until to-day, owing 10 the late arrival OF
many exhibits. The day was ushered
in with charming weather, and every
train deposited its quota Of visitors, and
before evening eleven states were repre-
scented.
The exercises in the main auditorium
were opened this afternoon, Capt. {. A.
Powers, of Terre Haute. Ind, addressed
large audience of farnars on the
financial question. He advocated the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver,
and scored the two political parties,
which he held responsible for the pres
ent unsettled condition Of business.
Hugh j. Mcdowell, OF Nashville,
Tenn, one of the pioneers OF the farm
ers movement in that State, made a
short address on the same theme as the
first speaker.
A veritable DonnYbrook feir has been
provided for the amusement Of the
farmers. Daily balloon ascenslons,
parachute jumps, Punch and Judy
shows, brass bands and jubilee singers
have been provided for intermissons in
the programme.
Tomorrow the oratorical battle will
be opened in earnest, when there will
be speaking both morning and after
noon. To-day's scene on the encamp-
ment grounds was animated. The
troops Of the National Guard Of PennsyI-
vania, out for their annual rife drill,
we're arriving all day and their unions
and shlmmering musketry as they min
gled with the tllers OF the soil from
all parts OF the country produced a
novel scene. Several hundred National
Guardsmen have tents pitched on a
beautiful plaza for the accommodation
OF visitors, and farmers with their
wives and children are rapidly filling
them up.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 21.-The
free coinage leaders are deeply in the
dumps. They have calculated all along
that their greatest strength would be
developed on the twenty TO one ratio,
out Secretary CarliSle'S letter 10 Sena-
tor Voorhees,, showing the cost Of in
creased ratio, has been an eya-opeuer TO
some OF the silver men. They have
been comforting to-day, and tho result
is that they see no hopes. They are
even more seriously divided than at any
previous time. There is no basis upon
which they can unite.
Another point Secretary Carlisle
might have made in his letter with ad-
vantage is that an increase OF ratio
would prevent international arbitration,
which even free coinage advocates ad-
nit 10 be desirable. France with her
seven millions OF silver az fifteen ana a
half TO one would never consider a
proposition 60 Ancrease TO twenty to one,

LONDON, August 2I.-The threatened
invasion OF Ebbalvale, Wales, by an
army Of 10000 striking coal miners
from the Rhouda valley, whose inten-
ton it was to force the non-union min
ers TO Quit work, has not yet occurred,
though the original idea was 10 begin
the march Yesterday. The
weather was threatening during
the day and toward evening it began TO
rain in torrents. This had a deterrent
effect upon the strikers, but it is more
than likely that the measures taken by
the police and military to protect the
mines and the working miners had
more to do with the postponement, il
not the actual abandonment OF the pro-
gramme.

HOW THE WIZARD REALLY LOOKS.

He is Thoroughly comfortable and I'M
deniably human. His face is full and
touched with the flush Of health. The
common portrait which shows him with
his chin buried in his hand, solemn, lar
away look in his eyes, is badly in error.
His eyes are full OF laughter OF the rip
pling variety. Although he has wrought
more wonders than all OF the mysterious
Merlins and somber Fausts Ia history,
his countenance is rich in good humor.
AS great a genius as Carlyle or Beetho-
ven, he has neither the vinegary mind
of the one nor the melancholy OF the
other. He has also splendid regard
for a lsyman's ignorance Of scientific
terms and in describing one experiment
and another will make an evident effort
TO confne himself to conversational
English.
He laughed heartily when informed
yesterday that Chicago was the hot-bed
of the world for airship inventors.
81 know it," he said. "They haven't
fou nd the secret yet, but they will some
day. 1t will come"
"Have you ever entered the airship
field, yourseIf?"
Eyes; indeed have. have tried q
number Of devices, but they haven't
worked. once placed an aerial motor
on a pair of Fairbsnk scales and set it
going. II lightened the scales, but it
didn't fly" And the wizard laughed at
the recollection.

at hard TO say what really do think

more than the Electricity. But after
all, the Manufactures building is the
most wonderful"
Thomas A. Edison is seeing the Fair
incog-as much so as his face, familiar
to so many thousands, will permit. In
his maturer years Edison skaters all
the messy, ancient traditions about
wizards. People whose idea Of wizards
have been nodded by stories Of long
bearded Merins and shriveled Fausts
puttering about among sinister looking
walls and mixing dangerous liquids with
pasied hands are surprised when they
see Edison.
