Cleveland takes up the lines and

BASTlLE DAY A TAME AFFAIR.
This Years Celebration of the
Event Falls Flat In Paris.

The Socialists Are Sulicn About tine
Recent Riots and Not Disposed TO
Jubsiate--The Anarchists Make Lurid
Threats.
PARIS. July 14.-To-day is the 10th an
niversary Of the fall of the Bastile. The
anniversary of this event in French his
tory Is usually celebrated with much re-
joicing, the people generally observing the
day as one of merriment.
To-day, however, the fetes in Paris have
been marked with tameness and the usual
celebrations are conspicuous through their
absence. This is due entirely to the feel
ing engendered By the recent riots. IL.
The municipal council, upon which
heretofore much of the expense of the
celebrations has fallen, has taken no part
in the observance OF the anniversary this
year. The members of the council, many
OF whom, If not actually known as Social
lists, have leanings in the direction of
Socialism, are still sulky because of the
governments action in regard to the Labor
Exchange and at the threat to dissolve
their body. In view Of these conflicts the
council left the celebration in the hands OF
others, with the result that the decorations
in the city are scarce and hardly worthy
of notice. The night illumination of the
city has been abandoned and altogether
the anniversary will be noticeable for its
lack of observance.
The Anarchists, with the usual pernicious
activity that characterizes them, have
taken advantage of the day to post in
cendiary placards on dead walls and other
places about the city. The police are busy
10 searching out and destroying these
| flaming posters.
A number Of open air balls were held
| last night, but there are no reports OF dis
order. The Anarchists have made many
threats of what they intended to do to-day,
going so far as TO say that they would de.
| stroy the city with fire.
| The authorities are prepared for what
ever overt acts they may attempt. The
| fire brigade and two regiments of troops
are held in readiness to fight fire or the
Anarchists themselves, and it is the gem
| eral opinion that the Anarchists will con-
fine themselves 70 threats and buster.
| President Carnot, who had heen away
| from Paris on account of his health, has
returned to the city. 1t. is customary on
the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile
for the President to extend clemency to
certain prisoners. In accordance with this
custom President Carnot to-day pardoned

MUST ANNEX HAWAII.
A Canadian Preacher Airs His opinion Of
Affairs In the Sandwich Islands.

NEW WESTMINSTER, b. g., July 49,
The Columbian published last evening
an interview with the Rev, II. w. Peck,
of Honolulu, who is in the city en- route
to Toronto.
Mr.. Peck has beena resident of Homo
lulu for five years, and has been con-
nected with the educational department
of the Kingdom, Regarding affairs in
Hawaii, Mr.. Peck said:
81 am Canadian and not an Ameri-.
can, and look at the revolution from a
perfectly independent view. l am in
strong sympathy with the movement
which overthrow the monarchy. II was
not an American nor planters move
ment which precipitated the revolution,
but general movement OF whites, ire
spective of nationality, whose business
! interests were jeopardized by the gov
eminent, whose tendency was retro
| gressive.
II have had the whole particulars of
| the trouble, but there was one part con-
| cealed from the governmet of the United
| States. Had the marines not been landed
from the warship Boston, the revolution
would not have taken place when it
did, but it was bound to have come
| later.
81 believe the revolution was justified
in the best interests of oil the parties
| for the advancement of civilization, and
more for the welfare of the natives.
The whites control seven-eighths of the
property on the islands, and contribute
at least that proportion Of revenue.
They were confident the Queens new
constitution meant to deprive them of
the management of the affairs Of the
islands and placeit largely in the hands
of the natives.
1--WE appealed TO the Uniteds States
for annexation because 80 per cent of
the trade of the islands goes there. If
the United States will not annex
Hawaii, we will probably appeal to
England or some other foreign power.
There can be no going back, no retro
gression, no monarchy, Hawaii is the
key to the Pacific, and if the United
States does not take it, other powers will
not be backward in profting by sc
grand an opportunity"

WIEL TREAT ALL ALIKE.
Democrats who Are Frsudulently Re-
ceiving Pensions viii be Cut Down, the

ceiving Pensions will be Cut Down, the
Same as Republicans.
N. Y. herald Washington special.
An amusing incident occurred at the
pension office the other day. A we'll
known Democratic Representative walked
into the office of the deputy commissioner
and said that he was in serious 'hole."
He explained that one of his most iniuen-
tial constituents had written him stormy
letter in which he said he had received a
notice from the pension bureau that his
pension was going to be cut down. The
Representative explained that the man
was good Democrat and had been one of
the most enthusiastic workers during the
campaign of the two last years. 1t was
necessary, the Representative said, that
mans pension should not be touched, else
it might cost the Democrats seat in Con-
gress when he ran for election.
The acting commissioner listened atten-
lively and then sent for the papers in the
case. He showed these to the Representiye
and proved that the constituent was clearly
not entitled to receive more than half the
pension he had been drawing. The Repre-.
sentative was satisfied as to the correctness
of the action of the pension bureau, but
said that he hoped some way could be
found to avoid the proposed interference
in the amount his constituent was draw
ing. He was informed that the admins
tration intended to carry out the laws
whether the ones who were hurt by such
action were Democrats or Republicans.
There have been other complaints received
at the pension Office from members OF
Congress who hold that Democrats who
are on the pension rolls should not be dis
turbed. The same reply has been made to
all of them as was made in the case re-
ferred TO.
SOME WORTHY, ONES MAY GET MORE.
The pension officials in making the ex-
aminations now going on in the Pension
Bureau to discover the fraudulent cases
and weed them out have found evidence
in some cases which would appear to in
oicate that the pensioner was really en-
titled to draw much higher rate of pen
sion per month than he was receiving
These cases were carefully laid aside fol
investigation. The result is that the pen
sioner'S allowance is increased to what il
ought to have been when the claim was
| first allowed. Such cases es these, 81
course, are not frequent, but when the,
occur the pensioner can rely upon gettini
| what he deserves.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. July 12,-An ocala
special to the Times Union says that negro
named Robert Larkin was lynched soon
after noon to-day by the citizens of Citra
and vicinity for outraging Miss Fannie
Alexander on Monday. She is girl of IL,
of high social connection.
She was returning to her home near
Citra from the post office when Larkin
suddenly sprang from thicket beside the
road, seized her horse by the bride and
dragged her from her seat in the buggy.
At the point of cooked pistol he forced
her into the dense woods ana there accom-
plished his purpose. 5a
Fonr different negroes have since been
taken into custody by the lynchng posse,
but none was identified as the assailant.
To-day Larkin was captured and taken be-
fore Miss Alexander, who promptly recog.
nized him. He was at once strung up to a
tree near the depot, on the edge Of the
town, and his body riddled with bullets.
A negro put the moose about the culprit's
neck when he was swung off. The rope
broke and the negro again adjusted it, this
time successfully. Larkin had been q

Detroit, Mich, July Blast night one
of the most notorious criminals IN America
fell into the hands of the police, and to-
day at Chicago, New York and Toledo,
will begin legal war for his custody. Two
local detectives, guided by Detective Julian
Of New York, and two Pinkerton men,
arrested DIR. Henry G. w. Meyer at i2S
Clifford street, oil suspicion.
Julian and the Pinkerton men have been
in his track for two years and finally cor
nered him in Detroit, collecting in the
meantime evidence which, they say; will
cause Meyer to suffer the death penalty.
Julian says that Meyer graduated from
the Chicago Homeopathic School in 1873,
and his operations began q year later,
when he poisoned his first wife. Then he
poisoned an old man named Gilderinan
and married the widow, poisoning her son
and finally herself.
Meyer then moved from Chicago to New
York, where he went into partnership
with a man named Brant, their scheme
being to beat the insurance companies.
| Brant was to take out heavy insurance,
become sick and apparently die, corpse
| being procured from some other source and
| used to get the insurance. Brant took
some medicine to render him unconscious
and then, it is charged, Meyer poisoned
| him, collecting the insurance.
| In some way Meyer persuaded an In.
dianapolis girl to accompany him to To
ledo where he also poisoned her.

accused of using, but have failed to find
out what it was. He is said to have col

SILVER PURCHASES.

The Suspension of Operations Makes n
Poor Showing for the First Half of the
Month.
WAsHINGToN,J July 13.-The Treasury
Department has had notice of accept.
ance of counter offers for silver, to the
amount of 10000 ounces at $0.7150 per
ounce fine. The purchases thus far for
July aggregate 76S, 1000 ounces.
As result of his.counter- proposition
of $0.7150 per ounce for the 5000
ounces offered him Wednesday, the
acting director of the mint yesterday
only received the rather insignificant
sum of 10000 ounces, which makes his
total purchases for the month $4,000
ounces.
Silver will be purchased again to-
morrow and on that day the first half
of the month will have passed with
only small fraction, more than II per
cent of the amount of silver ordered to
be purchased monthly, on hand, leaving
3,732 900 ounces still to be bought.
