SENDING HAY TO EUROPE.

Farmers of Wisconsin and Other States
Making Heavy Exports.
New YORK, July 15.-The farmers
throughout the country have been
tumbling over each other during the
hst few months to get the hay which
they have held over from last season
into this and other cities for export to
Europe. The occasions when Ameri-
can farmers have been called upon
to supply foreign countries with
hay have been SO rare that this
year will prove phenomenal one in
the. lives of the grangers. 1t was sit
uatlon for which thousands of willy
farmers had been waiting many years.
Even in their widest dreams they
never hoped to get $50 ton, and when
the news that Europe was waiting for
their surplus stock reached them, their
anxiety to supply the demand can be
imagined. Hundreds of tons Of hay
from Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin and
nearby states as Pennsylvania and
CONNECTICUT have been pouring into
this and other seaboard cities. Tramp
steamers have been standing at some of

DEMPSEY is INNOCENT.
The Homestead Labor Leader Innocent of
the Poisoning.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, July 15.--Patrick J.
Gallagher, on whose confession Hugh
Dempsey, district master work.
man of the Knights Of Labor,
was convicted of inssigating the
Homestead poisoning plot, has made
another confession, in which he de-
clares that Dempsey is innocent. Gal
lagher and Davidson, the Homestead
cooks, and Dempsey are now serving
out their sentence in the Western
penitentiary. According to Gallagher's
latest confession, it was not
the intention of the cooks to impIicate
Dempsey at first. 1t was not thought of
until several strong bluffs and
promise of immunity to them half
frightened and have coaxed them
into making the "fake' confes-
sion. Davidson was seen and
corroborated Gallagher's story. Demp-
sey's attorneys will bring the matter to
the attention ofthe pardon board and an
effort will be made to have him released.
The confession, it is said, duplicates a
number Of people and when the whole
story of the conspiracy comes out it will
be one of the greatest s2nsations Pitts
burg has seen in many DAYS.

THE KAISER AND HIS ARMY.
Bound to Have Peace if Every Citizen of
Germany Has to Fight for 1t.

BERLIN, July 15.-The army bill was
finally passed this afternoon by the
Reichstag by majority of 16 The vote
stood POI in favor of the measure and
1S5 against it. After the bill had finally
been adopted the Reichstag was declared
closed.
The government hoped that the third
reading of the bill to-day would be
merely formal, and that the session of
the Reichstag would close in time to en-
able the Emperor and ministers TO con-
graduate each other on the passage of
the bill over luncheon, but even this was
ordered otherwise. Chancellor Won Ca
priv has been suffering so severely
from the intlamed vein in his legs that
his doctors urged him not to appear in
the house. Though he was visibly i'll
last evening he was obliged to continue
his official work, which he did in re-
Ginning position. The excitement of the
situation revived him to-day, however,
and he looked happy.
The opposition organs contend this
evening that the majority of sixteen in
favor the bill is not large enough to
cause the government to eXult. But
the government, with reason, does eX-
ult, while its opponents fail to conceal
their chagrin. Vocation and d1Sap-
pointment was plainly manifested
throughout to-day's hostile speeches.
The Emperor is delighted at the pas
sage of the bill and rumOr has it that he
will confer upon Chancellor Won Caprivi
the dignity of a prince

FIREWORKS EXPLODE,
Italian Celebration at Chicago Has a
Fatal Climax.

Fatal Climax
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 16.-At al italian
celebration at Fiftv-seventh Street, to-
night, four people were killed and seven
injured by an explosion of fireworks.
A bomb was fired from an extempor-
lied mortar and was intended to be ex-
ploded high in the air, the ex-
plosion to be accompanied by a
shower of brilliant fire. Just as the
deafening roar and the liquid fire and
burning explosives, together with
pieces of the mortar containing the
bomb, were hurled in every direction.
Hundreds Of persons were standing
about the spot, and the flash and re-
port were followed by the cries of those
stricken to the earth. No lights were at
first to be had, and the dead and
wounded lay together beneath the feet
of those who were able to escape.
Many fell bleeding and bruised, and
before they could be cared for all the
lights on the grounds were eXtin-
guished and increased darkness added
to the panic.
The fire and fragments of the mortar
seemed to pillow their way through the
dense crowd to the outmOst circle of on
lockers. In a moment the picnic
grounds were the scene of confusion.
The merry-making had been in prog
ress all the evening, and at the approach
of darkness those present concentrated
near the spot from which the display
was to emanate. Some precaution had
been taken to keep order among the
onlookers, and an effort was started to
keep all save those in charge remov
from the stand where the unexplod
fireworks were stacked. This was part
ly successful and those killed and in
jured were chiefly the persons in charge
