ANXIOUS TO MAKE MONEY.
Foreigners at the Fair Revolt Against
Customs Regulations.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Trouble has arisen
with the Russian exhibitors at the
Worlds Fair which may develop into a
serious difficulty with all the other for
eign exhibitors. The foreigners wish to
sell articles and deliver them at once
and they complain that existing arrange
ments prevent them making any money.
Two agents of the Treasury Department
went into the Russian pavilion in the
Manufacturers Building yesterday and
demanded the keys of one of the cases.
All the exhibits being in bond, they had
a perfect right to examine them and
were under orders to do so. The exhib-
itor refused to allow the officers to open
the case and asked their authority for
demanding the keys. Being threatened
with arrest in case he refused, the exhib-
itor surrendered the keys and the goods
were examined. The exhibitor was un-
der orders from the Russian commits
sioner not to allow an examination in
his absence, and the treasury agents
were not in uniform. The Russian COM
missioner complains of the discourtesy
and demands reparation. Otherwise
it is threatened the exhibit will continue
as it was yesterday and today, chiefly
under cover. The head of the United
States customs service at jackson Park,
says the examination was proper and
several things were found missing. This
difficulty started all thes foreigners max
ing complaints and there is danger of re-
volt against the established rule all along
the line. The Belgians have written

entire display from competition for
awards.

ONE HUNDRED KILLED.
They Were Dogs and Were Suspected OF
Being Mad.

NoRwALK, Conn, July 21.-Darien, a
small town five miles west of this city,
has developed a hydrophobia scare. On
June 10 a mongrel dog, supposed to have
been owned by Noroton railroad con-
tractor, entered the village, biting sever
al dogs and COWS. Subsequently the dog
was shot. Now it appears that the tramp
dog had rabies, and the various animals
here bitten by him have become afflicted
with the same malady and are biting
every four footed animal that they meet.
Several COWS have been shot and num-
Der of others, which show symptoms OF
the disease, are closely watched. Yes
terday the selectmen employed Stan
ford veterinary surgeon, who pronounced
the cases as being positively hydro
phobia, and strict quarantine. was or
dered. For each cow quarantined the
town pays $25 month to the owner as
a consideration for his losses on the sale
of butter and milk. Dog owners of the
vicinity are rapidly disposing of animals
about which there is any suspicion, and
it is stated that fully 100 CANNES have
been drowned during the past ten days

INSULTS COST HIM HIS LIFE.
Farmer Sholes Knocked a Man Down and
Killed Him.

NORWICH, Conn.,, July af.-Ransom L.
Sholes, Jr., who resides with his parents
in Preston, about three miles southeast
of this city, came here this afternoon
and told Policeman Irish that he had
killed man and wanted to surrender
himself. He said he was talking with
two girls when stranger came up and
inquired where he could get drink of
water. He was told and then had some
words of an insulting nature with Sholes.
The latter knocked the stranger down.
The man got up and went to tree some
way off and sat down. Later two boys
saw him lying there dead. Policeman
Irish said the Norwich force had no jur
isdiction and Sholes left An autopsy is
being held on the body. Sholes was later
arrested by the sheriff. The dead man
was about 35 years old. He has not been
identified. Sholes is a farmer.

EngIand's Interests.

LONDON, July 21.--Further questions
were asked in the House of Commons
yesterday in regard to the Siamese
troubles. Sir Edward Grey, parliament
tary secretary of the foreign office, re-
Piled in behalf of the government. He
rehearsed the events that have occurred
in Siam since the relations between that
country and France have become
strained, and said that the British gov
ernment had neither such sufficient nor
precise information as would enable it to
form conclusion as to the merits of the
conflict. Sir Edward added that the
only part of the French ultimatum to
Siam which concerned Great Britain was
that relating to territorial arrangements
between France and Siam. The govern
ment had determined to send Lord Duff
term, the BritishAmabassador to France,
back to Paris with view to securing an
immediate exchange of views with the
French government ON this point

LOSS NEARLY A MILLION.
One Hundred Families Homeless in Long
Island City.

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. 1.-Two en-
tire blocks of buildings in this city were
destroyed by fire early this morning.
The new St. Mary's Roman Catholic
church just completed at cost of $780,
600 is totally destroyed. The parsonage
was one of the first buildings thoroughly
Quilted by the flames. The costly new
parochial school, which had never been
used, was also destroyed. The flames
started in Gray's refrigerator factory in
Fourth street, and spread rapidly
through the large stock Of dry timber. A
southerly wind carried the flames, and
soon the whole block, bounded by jack
son avenue on the west, by Vernon ave-
nue. and Fourth street on the south, and
by Fifth street on the north, was in
flames. The fire department could do
nothing to stop, the progress of the
flames. Help was asked from Brooklyn
but before it arrived the entire block in
which the fire started was doomed.
Gov. Flower owned row of tenements
that we're burned. The burned blocks
included grocery, dry goods and paint
stores and number of tenement houses.
The inmates of these escaped uninjured.
After burning nearly an hour the flames
leaped across to the opposite buildings
on Fourth and Fifth streets, and the fire.
men were powerless to check their pro-
gress.
The burned blocks made up the bust
ness portion of the first ward. More
than 100 families have been rendered
homeless. The loss is about 100000.
The water lasted until the fire was near
ly under control, and then there was
great shortage. AT 2.30 o'clock the
tower of the Catholic church fell with a
crash and wrecked what remained Of the
roof of the main building.

Their PrOwess.
WEIR CITY, Kan, July 21.-In the con-
fict yesterday between strikers and the
miners now at work, the strikers were
led by 100 women, and in the vanguard
were also an equal number of children.
They were evidently placed in the front
rank in the belief that the guard and the
men at work would not fire upon them.
The men followed behind, and the whole
body, men, women and children, were
armed with sticks and clubs, and some
with firearms. In the.front rank three
flags were carried--one big United States
flag, and on either side of it two black
flags. The latter were carried by Ger
man women. When the men at work
and the guards fired upon the strikers
the children fled, but the women entered
boldly into the fight, and fought with as
much ferociousness as the men. They
welded their clubs with vigor and pre-
cision, and many a sore head last night
was caused by the clubs in the women's
hands. The list Of the wounded, so far
as can be ascertained, numbers seven.
Il0 Su0Illl OI blI6 COuuIy LIDS D0Ou up
pealed to to furnish guards for the min
ers, but he has declined to take any ac-
ton. He is Populist, and is in sympa-
thy with the miners. He says he can do
more to prevent bloodshed by the use of
moral suasion than with all the armed
guards in Kansas. The mine owners do
not take this view of the case, and will
speedily place guards around their prop
ortV at their own expense.
The stockades, behind which the coal
operators expect to put men at work in
the near future, are fast approaching
completion, and when they are finished
the shafts will present the appearance of
Indian forts. At mine No %, the fences
in all directions have been posted with
small pine boards, on which has been
painted mo trespass.'
About forty men are busy building the
suockade. many sinking holes and others
mailing on boards. The fence is built
out of lumber that had been used before.
The posts are very heavy, and the fence
is about seven feet high, and consider
able space is left between the boards. It
will enclose twelve acres of ground,
giving plenty of room for people to live
in, if they desire, when at work, as well
as forming a guard line around the shaft.
ADOuL Two uuuuIGeS ydIuo IeRo hiiohuy
been completed, and three hundred
yards of posts are up ready for the fenc-
ing.
Some of the miners, when asked about
the fence, said that it would prevent
them from doing anything at the shaft
but that they would continue to prevent
any coal being shipped when possible.
Some who had hesitated about going to
work in the strip pits would be likely to
go inside the stockade and live there and
where it would be impossible to reach
them by argument.

BOYCOTT SUSTAINED.
An Important Court Decision Bearing on
Labor Questions.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 21.-A very i'm
portant decision was handed down by
the supreme court yesterday which has
wide bearing on labor and capital
alike. 1t is the case of the Bohn Manu-
featuring Company of this city VS.. W. G..
Hollis ct al, representing the North
western Lumbermen's Association. This
case excited a great deal of interest a
few months ago when it first came up.
The Bohn Manufacturing Company
was member of the association and the
constitution provides that no wholesale
dealer shall sell goods at any place at
less prices than retail dealers. The
Bohn Manufacturing Company were
accused of violating the agreement and
were notified by the secretary that Cir
cular would be sent to all members noti-
flying them of the fact. the Bohn Com
pany served an injunction on Secretary
Hollis on the ground that it's business
would be seriously injured by such ac-
ton. The lower court sustained the
plea and granted a permanent injunc-
ton against the boycott.
The order Of the court was reversed in
Yesterdays decision, for the reason that,
the Bohn Company being member of
the association, should conform to its
rules, and hence had no ground for an
injunction.
The supreme court holds that any man,
unless under contract obligation or un-
less his employment charges him with
some public duty, has right to refuse
to work for or deal with any man or class
of men he sees fit, and this right which
one man may exercise singly any num-
Der of men may exercise jointly. In his
opinion, which is quite long, Judge
Mitchell reviews the history of the case,
and then says that it presents one phase
of subject which is likely to be one of
the most important and difficult which
will confront the courts during the next
quarter of a century.
"This is the age of associations and
labor unions," continues the court.
Confined to their proper limits, they
are not only lawful but laudable. Car
ried beyond these limits they are liable
to become dangerous agencies for wrong
and oppression. Beyond what limits
these combinations cannot go without
interfering with the legal rights of
others is the problem which the courts
will doubtless be frequently called to
pass upon"

DENVER, Col, July 21.-Confdence
in Denver banks and commercial houses
is being restored with nearly the same
rapidity that people attempted it's de-
struction during the first three days of
this week. No suspensions of magni-
tude have occurred for two days and no
more are expected. The banking houses
are determined that they will push no
creditors nor serve attachments upon
those who show an honest disposition to
ward settling. Times will probably be
hard here until Congress meets. 1t is
predicted that if silver then receives fair
treatment it will not take long to place
Denver and Colorado far in advance of
where they were when this trouble
came. Several banks have had offers of
assistance from New York. Bank Exam
iner Adams is of the opinion that all the
closed banks can settle in full and have a
balance left The commercial houses
that went down with the banks are in
equally good condition. The Hallock-
Sayre-Newton Lumber Company, which
assigned Wednesday with assets of $780,
900, resumed business today. The Elan
ders Dry Goods Company, which closed
with 5000, 900 owing, also resumed. Many
others will follow shortly.
Merchants and bankers today issued a
card to the public in which they declare
their faith in Colorado's future, and that
the present trouble is but temporary.
They declare fer free coinage of silver
and ask ali members of Congress to aid
them in securing this at the coming ex-
ira session.
