FALL OF THE BAsr1LE.
Anarchists Take Advantage of the Anni-
versary to Post Incendfary Placards.

Anarchists Take Advantage of the Anni-
versary to Post lncendiary Placards.
PARIS, July 14.-Today is the 1O4th an
niversary of the fall of the BastiIe. The
anniversary is usually celebrated with
much rejoicing. Today, however, the
fetes in Paris are tame and the usual cell
ebrations are conspicuous through their
absence. This Is due entirely to the zeal :
ing engendered by the recent riots. The
municipal council upon which heretofore
much of the expense Of the celebrations
has fallen has taken no part in the OBJ
Servance. Members OF the council. many
of whom if not actually known as social
lists, have leaniDgs in that direction, are
still sulky because of the governments
action in regard to tho labor exchange
and threat to dissolve their BODY
In view of these conflicts the coLrcil
has left the celebration in the hands o.
others with the result that the decora-
tions are hardly worth noticing. The
night illumination is abandoned alto
gether. The anniversary is noticeable
for lack OF observance. The anarchists
have taken advantage OF the day to post
Incendiary placards. The police are busy
destroying these red posters. They have
made many threats OF what they intend
to do today, going so far as to say that
they would destroy the city with fire.
The authorities are prepared for whatever
overt acts they may attempt. The fire
brigade and two regiments of troops arc
held in readiness to fight fire or anar-
chists. The opinion is general that the
anarchists will confne themselves to
threats and bluster.
The celebration this evening was quite
devoid of popular enthusiasm. It's
official nature was everywhere apparent

NIcARAGUAN CANAL.
The President of the Company Denie,
that Work Has stopped.

The President of the Company Denies
that Work Has stopped.
New YORK, July 14.-The report that
the Nicaragua canal construction COM
pany had stopped all work on the Mica
ragua canal on account OF lack of funds
was officially denied this morning by ex-
Senator Warner Miller, president OF the
company. s'We have not stopped work
entirely, y said Mr.. Miller, ''although of
course, we have had to lessen the amount
..of work In times of financial stringencv
bryone has to cut his coat according to
cloth. Work is now going on on the
Eakwater at the entrance to Greytown
Dbl rbor and on the harbor. Besides that,
we have large number of men looking
after our valuable machinery.
cit is untrue that the company's Sc
curitjes have not been bought. Persons
have been buying them all along and are
doing so yet. AS for the report that there
is any internal discussions in the COM
pany, that is untrue. We had to stop
work to consider the extent at the time OF
the revolution in Nicaragua. Our boats
were seized. These boats were the only
means of Transportation up the river.
We expect this soon to be settled in q sat-
isfactory manner. Then when the money
situation becomes a little easier, we ex-
pect to go ahead with the work at full
blast. Little more than So 600, 600 has
already been expended by the company.''
The board OF directors of the Nicaragua
Canal company had meeti & today to
hear plans to devise means TO raise money.
General Manager Taylor presented plan,
among the features of which was to issue
and market $50, 600, 900 of bonds, the es-
innate of the cost of the canal TO be fixed
at $56, 200, 900. AS the present prices and
methods allow a difference between the
newly estimated cost and the SS5, 0O0, 3O(
bonds to be used for the payment of in
terest during construction, active propa-
ganda is to be established all over the
country as a preliminary to placing the
bonds on the market.
All money to be obtained from the frs
subscription is to be at once employed in
active work on the line of the canal, ano
If the amount of the first subscription j.
satisfactory the bonds will be offered a.
95, if unsatisfactory at 80. The amount
OF bonds sold the second three month.
should not be less than SO, 600, 900 no.
more than go, 600, 0CU. The committe,
will consider the plan further.

MINNEAPOLIS. July 14.-Senator ALI
son, OF Iowa. who is in the city the guest
OF Senator Washburn, said today that the
present financial disturbances were due
largely to the fact that there il a belief
that if we continue the purchase of silver
We must soon reach silver standard
Added to this is the expansion of credits
and distrust of Democratic policy, on the
currency and tariff The stoppage of the
purchase of silver will greatly aid in re-
storing confidence.
The silver bullion is now far below nor
NAL price, and it VIII advance as soon az
the policy regarding its use is more clear
" defined, and viii eventually be restored

law is to increase the circulating medium
ana it did so till recently. Now, how.
ever, it has an effect OF causing the hoard
ing Of gold and gseenbacSs, causing con
traction, SO it is probable it will be re-
pealed.

French pilot boat and 1t is said sank it.
M. Pavie, the French minister present,

awaiting instructions from Paris as to de-
velopments OF the extraordinary position.

Slamese government that the commander
of the gunboats Comtse and Incon-

when they fired upon the Hakanam

no such actions. The anxiety which pre-
vailed throughout the city yesterday and
last night is partially allayed by the ar

that an armistice was concluded and this
incident might possibly be explained by
France as rsgretable.

Congress were purchasable, it would
hardly pay the Mormons to spend 81 ,oOO,-
