voy to Siam, tried in the hardest man
ner at a recent meeting with Prince
Deyawongse, Siamese minister of for
eign affairs, to force upon Siam an
agreement quite different from the
French ultimatum. Prince Devawongse
declined to sign it. Since the meeting,
it is understood that M. de Villers has
retreated from his aggressive attitude.

cago.
New YORK, sept. 5.-Perfect weather
welcomed Labor day in New York.
All the big manufactures shut down,
all wholesale esta blishments, business
exchanges, down-town offices and most
of the retail Snaps were closed. Up
town the holiday was not so generally
observed. State courts and tNe coaJts Of
general sessions were open for few
minutes only, business being pus off
until to-day
The labor parade moved from Cooper
Union, at Eighth street, to the Bat
terry. The labor leaders calculated that
$4,000 men were in line. No disturb
ance Of any kind was reported.
In BROOKLYN, the parade was one Of
the largest ever held. The most i'm
pressive feature of the demonstration
was perhaps its peaceful character.
Several anarchists were marching in
the ranks, but they had to act like the
sober-minded workingmen around
them, and they were not even allowed
to carry their flags in the main parade.
BY special orders the leaders prevented
any flag from being carried except the
Stars and Stripes and trade banners.
Thirty Thousand In Line.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The celebration
of Labor day was a great success.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired. The different organizations
turned out in force, and the result
was that the marching column was
one of the longest ever seen in Chi
cago, the estimate being that probably
3d. 900 men were in line. The crowds
that were massed on the streets along
the line of march were tremendous.
The equal of the throng was seen here
only on the day the Worlds fair was
dedicated. ....4..
Good order and good nature charac-
terized the day. The parade was
handled with great skill by the mar
shals. After the parade the organiza-
tions disbanded and attended the
usual festivities and games at picnics
in Kuhn's park, where eloquent
speeches were made.

PROPOSED NEW STATES.

Republican senators Favor Oklahoma,
Utah and New Mexico u ID Defer ArI.
IONA.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The repub-
lican senatorial caucus this afternoon
decided by u majority vote to take
favorable action upon the admission of
the territories of Oklahoma, Utah
and New Mexico, but left Arizona
cut in the cold. The result was not
attained until after prolonged discus
sion. A great deal of opposition was
manifested on the part of some of the
eastern senator's who pointed to what
they called the manifest evidences of
the inability of these territories to take
up the cares and burdens of statehood.
Objections was made to the admis-
sion of New Mexico on account of its
great prep 1nderance of citizens who
could not speak or write the English
language; to Arizona, because of its inn
mense debt and the poverty of the ter
ritory; to Utah, ON account of the
prevalence of pnlygamy, and to Okla
homa by reason of its newness and the
absence Of essentials which go to make
up successful territory ready for the
more advanced position of statehood
The caucus developed into contest
between the extreme west and the
east, and appears to be victory for
the younger members of the sem
ate. 1t is considered victory how
ever, in name only, for the subsequent
action of the caucus negatives the re-
suit of the caucus 1t was agreed that
the question of the admission should be

FATAL DAMP.

Fearful Explosion IL n Bohemian MIMI
T"wn-E'ghty Men Killed aud Scores
Hurt.
VIENNA, Jan. 25.-An explosion of
fire damp occurred in the Fortschritt
mine Mt DuX, in Bohemia, and it is said
that eighty miners were killed and
scores were injured.
The explosion occurred when the
shifts were changing. A cage full Of
miners had been lowered half way down
the shaft, when the ground trembled, u
loud, rumbling report was heard and
the cable attached to the cage gave
such lurch that the lowering ma
chinery broke. Help was summoned,
the machinery was repaired and the
cage raised.
Ten of the occupants had been killed
instantly by the shock, ten had suffered
fractures from which they cannot re-
cover and five who had broken limbs
and internal injuries will live.
An hour later the superintendent of
the mine and five miners from the night
shift went down in the cage. They
were unable to go more than 100 yards
from the shaft into the gallery, but
they found fourteen dead bodies. OF
the fifty men who were waiting for the
cage ten had been killed and forty had
been partially crushed by falling tim
Der or half suffocated by the foul air.
A short distance from the shaft the
superintendent found four bodies which
had been crushed beyond recognition
by a falling beam. The bodies of the
injured were taken to the top. where
the whole mining settlement had gath-
cred to watch the work of rescue.
Another rescue party went down
at once, and after three had
been carried back unconscious,
penetrated to the entrance of the
gallery. The entrance was completely
blocked by the wrecked woodwork.
The rescue party could see several dead
bodies on the other side of the timbers,
but were unable to get at them. 1t is
believed that all the men in the gallery
were suffocated or killed by the shock
of the explosion. Twelve miners who
worked in the extreme interior of the
mine on the night shift, and had not
started for the shaft so soon rs their
companions, are also believed to be

TRIALS OF A BORROWER.

appropriateness Rebuked NJ Loan Office
Where Cash IL 'Lent the same Day"
A gentleman suffering from financial
disability went to loan office to nego-
tiate borrow upon his furniture. In
the advertisement it stated that the
money would be lent the same day bya
Choctaw lady, without removal and
upon the note of hand of the borrower.
all this looked pretty fine in print.
1--WE got ten thousand dollars worth
of personal property" said the would
be borrower, land l have to meet q
wash bill of three dollars and half
coming due tomorrow noon. Can get
fitted out here so as to be in position
to meet the collector without blush?"
The manager of the loan Office was
strangely silent. The would-be bor-
rover became nervous and thought he
hadn't said the speech right and so he
began over again in this style:
Il am person of poor but honest pa
rentage, temporarily embarrassed. 1
need the sum of three dollars and half
to meet an unjust liability"
Still there was no answer. Then the
borrower walked into the outside room
and said to the office boy:
whats the matter with the man
ager? Can't he tallx?"
II guess it's because you haven't paid
the entrance fee. No person is mem
Der of this loan society until he has put
up one dollar"
The borrower apologized and depos-
tied the money. Next he repaired TO
the mangager and repeated his original
assertion.
I'VE charge one dollar more for book
age" said the manager
whats bookage?"
That's none of your business. One
dollar, please.
He paid the money and the manager
wrote down something in book.
''Now give me two dollars to inspect
the furniture"
The borrower gave him the money.
''Now call here next year at two
o'clock in the afternoon and get our
answer"
Dub Tic llOuCy 10 uuC bO-ihoITON.
Cant help it. Put 'em Off"
But you can't put people like that
off. There are some fellows that won't
wait"
The manager smiled a superior smile.
'Oh, no there aren't" he said You'll
know little more about waiting when
you get through with us"
The borrower left the Office reluctant
ly and returned the following year at
two o'clock. Then the manager told
him somewhat sternly that he couldn't
loan money on that furniture because
1t had got too old. In vain the borrower
that IL was new when his
claim was filed The manager ended
the interview by charging him one dol
lar and twenty-five ceats storage on the
papers in the case" and then the jan
itor threw him out This ended the
whole transaction--N Y. Herald

The Pages of the Senate.

OF all the 10 appointments under the
sergeant-at-arms of the United States SEN
ate those of the pages only can be said to be
nonpolitical. No boy can be appointed a
page of the senate who is not IL years of
age, and no boy can continue as page who
is l6 years of age at the beginning of ses-
sion of congress. 1t is a lucrative position,
and few of the boys are not sorry when their
term has ended. Usually four of the boys
who are graduated from the pages position
at the beginning of a session are appointed
riding pages. Their selection depends on
their records for efficiency and faithfulness
The page on the floor of the senate draws
$3.50 "A day during the session of congress
The riding page receives 81 so "a day the year
around and has horse to ride. His duties
keep him out of doors great part of the
time, carrying messages between the CAPT
toll and the departments. The position is
considered more desirable than that of a
page.
The pages life is pleasant one. He
must be on duty at 8 o'clock each morning,
but the serious business of the day does not
begin until noon, when the senate meets,
Before that time hearranges the files of the
Congressional Record and the bills and re-
ports on the desks of the senators who have
been assigned to him. There are 10 pages
and SS senators, so none of the pages has
very much to do. The morning hours are
not all working hours, There is gymna-
SUM in the basement of the capitol fur
nished especially for their use. They ex-
ercise their arms and their chests there
every morning; their legs get plenty of ex-
ercise through the day Washington Star.
