Incensed Against the Police.

PARIS, July 10.-The leaders of the work.
inces, many of whom are socialists, are ever
ready to take advantage Of any occasion to
make demonstration against the govern
ment, and they have not been slow to grasp
the present opportunity. Therein lies the
danger. A simple students row could be
easily quelled, but now the students disavow
any connection with the disorders and their
association has appealed to them not to take
part in any of the rioting.
The workingmen have now become in
censed against the police and propose to
show their Indignation against them and
their disapproval of the government by in
augurating a general strike. An appeal
signed by the delegates of 167 trades syndi-
Gates has been issued in Paris and the prov
inces requesting the workingmen to quit
work

CarRenairers Laid OF.

TOPEKA, July 6.-There has has been an
other lay off in the Santa Fe shops. This
time il occurred in the car shops.
The men in this department we're called
up, paid the money due them, and one-ffth
of them were informed that there was no
work for them at present and that the COM
pany must dispense with their services.
The company supplied the discharged
men with passes to any point on its system
where they expect to find work. A number
have left for Chicago. One of them stated
that he did not feel unkindly towards the
company for his dismissal, inasmuch as it
had done the proper thing in helping him to
another situation. He stated, however, that
there were hard feelings expressed by some
of the men, especially among those who had
been with the company for years. In max
ing this cut the married men were retained,
in accordance with the Santa Fe's usual rule.

Fourteen KiIled nv Wind.

CHEROKEE, Ia, July ga destructive cy-
clone passed through the south part of this
(Cherokee) county, cutting a path ranging
from quarter to three miles in width and
extending twelve miles.
Reports of fourteen deaths and large
number of injured have already been brought
to this city.
The path of the storm is marked by COM
plete desolation. Houses. barns and fences
we're swept away. The crops are ruined and
a large number of farm animals were killed
The course of the storm was eastward, but
how far it extended cannot be ascertained as
the wires are down few miles east OF this
city. The details are very meagre.

sion to propagate the Moslem faith in this
country. He will assist ex-Consul Alexander
Russell Webb in establishing colonies Of
Egyptians in the south and in building

is member of the national party in Egypt
He attacked the British press, alleging that
it is muzzled by the government and that il
misrepresents the true state of affairs in Ire
land and all the British colonies. He ex.
pressed the opinion that the occupancy OF
Egypt by the British would be terminated in
a comparatively short time, and predicted
that the next great war would be between
England and France over Egypt.

Approximations win be Considered.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 6.-The fact that
within short time the various departments
of the government will begin the prepare.
ton of the annual estimates, gives rise to the
belief that the extra session of congress will
not only deal with the financial questions
but will consider and perhaps act upon ap-
preparation bills as we'll. At any rate the
estimates will be hurried along so that con-
gress may be prepared to deal with the ap-
preparation bills if it sees fit
There may be a message from the presi.
dent to congress when it convenes, but it is
expected the document will deal almost ex.
clpsively with the financial questions.

cisculatinr silver Mus. be Protected.

Circulating Silver Must be Protected.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 6.-Senator John
Sherman says this:
81 think the Sherman law will be repealed,
but the danger is that congress may go too
far. Should the clause providing for the
purchase of 4,500, 600 ounces of silver monthly
be stricken out, it would be well. But if
congress should 60 on and repeal the clause
providing that the United States shall maln-
tain the parity between gold and silver coins
it would cause widespread distress. There
is in the treasury 350.OOOOOO coined silver
dollars and $150.O00.0C0 in uncoined silver
bullion. The legal tender of these coins
must be preserved and their parity to gold
maintained. 1t is well enough to stop the
further mintage of silver. but that in circula-
ton must be sustained. To stop making
silver dollars would not impair the useful
ness of those already made, so long as the
government guarantee is back of Them"

Twenty-Five Tho usand Keeleyites.

CHICAGO, July 10-The committee having
charge of the arrangements for the great in
ternational convention of Kelley cure grad
yates, which is to be held in this city, is now
holding daily sessions and is deluged with
advice from all over the country and Canada
concerning prospective delegations. Ac-
cording to present advices 5000 graduates
will respond to the call, and unless an i'm
mense auditorium tent can he erected on the
south side of the city, it will be necessary to
engage all the large halls in the center of the
city and follow in each the same programme.
1t had originally been intended to hold
the convention three weeks hence, but owing
to the magnitude of the undertaking the
date has been changed until next Septem-

A Rovai w.t,d,n-

The marriage of Princess Victoria Mary An.

better known by the popular name of the
Princess May, eldest child and only daueh-
| ter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. and
| Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert Of
| wales, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and
| Baron Killarney. was solemnized at high
noon in the Chapel Royal of st. James.
London, loyal as it Rlwas is, kept holiday
IN honor of the day and the event. The bust
ness part of the city, as we'll as the West End.
was gally decorated. Flags hoated from ali
the church steeples, and merry peals were
rung by the bells in the belfries. From the
east, north and south of the big city the peo-
pie poured out toward the West End.
The royal procession proper left Buckinp.
ham palace precisely at II o'clock, the queen
occupying semi-state gold coach drawn by
tour cream colored horses, a coachman re-
placing the usual Positions Seated in the
carriage with her majesty were the brides
mother, the Duchess of Teck, and the Prince
and Princess of Wales, the mother of the
groom.
1t was half past twelve when the semi-state
carriage, containing the bride, her father.
the Duke of Teck, and her eldest brother,
Prince Adolphus of Teck, left Buckingham
palace under the escort of a detachment of
Life guards. The bride looked radiant and
smiling. The route of the four professions
was from Buckingham palace by way of
Constitution Hill, Piccadilly, st. James
street, Marlborough Gate to st. James pal
ace, entering by the garden entrance. All
along the line the spectators were enthusiast
tic, the Princess of Wales, the queen, and
the bride especially coming in for a hearty
reception.
The bridesmaids were: Princesses Victo-
ma and Maude of Wales: Princesses Victoria,
Alexandra and Beatrice of Edinburg;
Princesses Margaret and Victoria Patricia of
Connaught; Princess Victoria of Scbleswip-
Holstein; Princess Victoria Eugene of Bat
tenberg, and one of the daughters of Prince
and Princess Louis of Battenburg.
The bridal costume was of white silk, elab-
orately trimmed with honiton lace and or
ange blossoms. The bridesmaids were in
toilets of white satin trimmed with silver and
May blossoms, in compliment to the brides
pet name. AS soon as the bride had reached
the chancel railing the Duke of York stepped
to her side, and the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, who, with Rev. DR.. Sheppard, dean of
the chapel royal, both attired in Episcopal
robes, was in waiting, commenced to read
the marriage service of the Episcopal church.
The ceremony occupied but few moments.
A special train of salon carriages was in
waiting to take them to Sandringham, where
the honeymoon will be spent in the little ten
room house built by the Prince of Wales and
known as Bachelor cottage.
1t is doubtful if any princess was ever held
in higher esteem than is Princess May. Her
modesty and inherent kindness have made
her general favorite, and her sympathy
with the poor and her active endeavors to
improve their condition have made her an
ideal where royalty, as rule. is not we'll re-
ceived.

No Convict Labor on Public Works

WASHINGTON, D. c., July u.-There is to
BE no more convict labor on public build.
lngs. Supervising Architect O'Rourke has
brought this about by directing that the fol-
lowing words appear in all the advertise
ments for contracts on government build
ings:
mo convict labor or the product of con-
vict labor shall be used"
Brief as this clause is, it makes sweeping
change in the policy hitherto pursued by the
treasury department in the erection of pub
lie buildings. There is no federal law pro-
hibiting the use of convict labor or the pro-
duct of convict labor, owing to constitutional
objections which have always been raised
against the enactment of such law.
For years the legislative committee of the
Knights of Labor have been in Washington
each session urging congress to exclude con-
vict labor on federal buildings by legislative
enactment. Representative McGann, of
Chicago, gave the committee much help last
year, but it proved unavailing. What the
Knights of Labor have failed to do. the su-
pervlsing architect has accomplished by the
insertion of a simple clause in the bids.
At the present time large amount of pub
lie work is done with convict made material.
This is particularly true of the cut granite
and marble used, which is almost invariably
prepared in state penitentiaries.

Flood of Bills Expected.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 8.-The opinion
is gaining ground that efforts will be made
to divert the coming extra session of congress
from its main purpose of remedying the
financial situation by presenting flood of
bills for repeating the federal election laws,
for restricting trade in futures" and "op,
tions,' for reforming the pensions laws and
for the innumerable special and general ap-
nropriations. The advocates of these meas
Ires will push them with more or less per-
sistency in spite of the efforts toward a
speedy solution of the financial problem.

New Plans of Finance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE ad-
'ninistration is studying finances. Several
plans have been suggested to Secretary Car
Isle, and he has taken them under consid-
sration. Among them is one which will
create considerable of stir In financial cir
cles, as it contemplates an entire change in
the money system of the United States. In
short the plan is to pass q specie redemption
act, redeeming all of the various kinds of
money now used in this country, and issu-
ing instead United States treasury notes
whose value shall always be fixed. The fact
of the wide difference between the value of
gold and silver coins. while they are theoret-
ically of parity, is one of the causes which
suggested the plan proposed. The plan IN
der consideration is to redeem all the pre-
sent paper currency just as factional cur
rency is redeemed by the Sherman act of
1875. and instead issue what shall be known
as United States treasury notes.

Runs ON Pueblo Banks.

PUEBLO, Co.., July For week or more
large Withdrawals have been made of depos-
its in all the banks. which eliminated in a
general run, commencing at the American
National. This bank was compelled to close
its doors.
Meantime runs had commenced upon the
Western National and the First National
The first named closing up; but the last pay
ing out money as fast as there was room at
the counters to do it.
The Central National closed at noon. The
Pueblo Savings bank was visited by a long
line of depositors, but was saved by the sixty
days notes privilege given it by tie law.

Picking Up Some.

New YORK, July 10.-R. G. Dun's weekly
review of trade is as follows:
The tone in business circles has perceptibly
improved. On the whole there has been a
little better distribution of goods to consum-
ers, and perhaps the countermanding of Or
ders given some months ago is not quite as
frequent as it was last week. More hopeful
symptoms are noted, but while the causes of
the depression remain it would be rash to
calculate that the difficulty will not reappear.
Soon large sums of money will be required
to move the crops, and in the present state
of the money market some stringency is not
improbable.
Wheat advanced cents, but though there
are some gloomy reports from the Dakotas
the general outlook is better.
It is believed the great strike of iron work
ers will be avoided and a reduction of to 10
per cent. in wages for finishing accepted.
The market for pig and steel rails is very
gloomy, railmakers having about reached
the end of their orders, yet the consumption
of pig has been $4,000 tons larger. Heavy
contracts for iron have been made by agri-
cultural implement works, and locomotive
works were never buster.
Textile manufactures are duiler than
usual for the season, and the dullness in
shoe manufacture is almost unprecedented.
Many buyers are countermanding orders.
Money has grown easier, but it is still
hard at most points to get accommodations,
as the banks are preparing for larger de-
mands.
Foreign trade shows little change, exports
being much below last years and imports
quite large. Stocks are dull and inactive
with some signs of more foreign disposition
to buy, but prices are only fraction higher.
The mercantile failures during the week
were 324 in the United States, and % in
Canada. Last week the failures in the
United States were 307.

Soldiers Driving Out Cattle.

GUTHRIE, o. T., July GA week ago the
soldiers who have been scouting on the
Cherokee strip most of the time for the past
two years were ordered to Texas, and sew.
eral companies who have been on the Mexi-
can frontier for years we're brought up to
guard the strip.
Although the troops that have been on the
strip so long have continuously reported no
cattle there, the new detachment seems to
have better eyesight, for squad of them
drove 1000 cattle off the strip at Orlando,
north of here, and another company is round
ing up 5000 more at South Fork. 1t really
looks as though the cattle would be COM
PEELED to go, and the prospective settlers are
rejoicing accordingly.

Illinois Sends 90 Per Cent.

CHICAGO, July 11.-While the attendance
at the fair up to this time has been nearly up
to the expectations, it cannot be denied that
the large crowds of the official days have
been principally furnished by the city of
Chicago and neighboring states. Among
the average daily visitors at the fair at this
time fully 80 per cent, are from Illinois, or
within a radius of 100 miles from the worlds
fair city. The people of the far west, the
extreme east and the sunny south seem to be
waiting for cheaper rates or more suitable
weather, and not one farmer out of ten
throughout the whole country is making any
preparations to visit the fair until after the
haryests are over

WASHINGTON, d. c., July n.-ConsideraDis
secrecy has apparently been thrown arouna
the operations of the international railway
survey authorized by congress in sccordance
with the plan adopted by the Pan-Amer1can
conference in 1880. Though reports OF
more or less detailed character have been IN
corporated in the estimates laid before con-
gress, there has been a hot fight over the
appropriation for continuing the work, which
has only slipped through IN conference oe-
tween the two houses. 1t Is now stated In
an unofficial way that the survey has been
practically completed. All the surveying
parties have returned to Washington, having
finished their field work. They are now cd
gagged at the headquarters of the commission
working up the data they have secured Tor
publication of their final reports and the
maps of the line. This work will occupy
several months.
The line surveyed runs to the southern
boundary of Mexico and to the northern
boundary of Bolivia and is 1900 miles In
length. It connects the railway system or
North America with that of South America.
Itis said that for the entire route no grade
is greater than per cent. 1t is said that
for miles through Columbia the road runs
through mining region so rich IN metals
that in excavating for the track enough gold
and silver can be extracted to pay for the
building of the road.

They tried to communicate with the work
ings, but found the interior had been cut off
from the shaft.

JEWELS Chance for Fame.

Island rainmaker, left on his special car for
Liberal, in southwestern Kansas, where a
drouth of ten months has prevailed. Jewell
will go to Chicago in September, for opera
tons at the worlds fair during Kansas week.
The rainmaker is deluged with letters from
religious cranks appealing to him to set his
machine near the gates of the fair and make
it rain every Sunday, so that the ungodly
cannot attend the fair on that day. He was
told by one that this would insure him a
crown at the throne of grace.
