FALL OF THE BASTILE.

Celebration at Montreal Interrupted by
the Fall of a Grand Stand.
MONTREAL, July l6.-A grand stand
containing 200 men, women and chill
dren collapsed at the Park Royal this
afternoon. It was the third days cele-
bration of the fall of the Bastile under
the auspices of PUnlon Rationale Fran

crack or the slightest sound of warning.
A terrible panic ensued among the 49,
600 people who thronged the park.
The unfortunates who went down with
the stand lay piled in ineXricable con-
fusion amid the wreck of beams and
planking, while over them rushed and
trampled the fear-maddened crowd
who filled the reserved seat Enclosure.
Cries of pain and terror filled
the Sunday air, and for many
moments men seemed to have lost
all presence of mind When the man
ayers and crowd finally regained their
senses, and the work of extricating the
people from the wreck of the stand was
begun, it was ascertained that no one
had been killed, either in the collapse
or subsequent stampede, although many
were injured and some seriously SO.
Those most seriously hurt were Nine.
Boyer, Ellen and Mary Purton, Charles
Baudet, Mrs. D. Umochal, Arthur
Payette and Percy Livernois.
The stand that collapsed was at the
south side of the stage in the reserved
seat enclosure, and was apparently a
substantial structure. Its fall is said to
be due to the sinking of the supports,
caused by heavy recent rains. The per-
Torrance was resumed, and an hour
later while net was being spread for a
trapeze performance that support broke,
and another panic and stampede en-
sued. Fortunately this time, however,
no one was hurt

come to the White City.


WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
July ia gallant feet, with gay ban
ners flying and happy souls on board,
steamed out of Chicago harbor this
morning to meet and welcome the
viking ship and crew and es-
cort it and them to the harbor
at the Worlds Fair. In the gallant
fleet were the man-of-war Michigan, the
coast survey steamer Blake, the pleas
ure steamer City of Duluth carrying
Mayor Harrison and the City Council,
yachts and pleasure craft of various
Varieties. Besides the mayor and
city officials, the City of Du-.
luth also carried a number of
distinguished Scandinavians. The re-
ception committee sailed on the steamer
Ivanhoe The feet sailed north to a
point few miles off Evanston. Here
they sighted the viking ship and the
Andrew johnson. A salute of twenty
one guns was fired and the feet
hove to, and forming in line on
each side of the honored little
vessel started for Jackson Park. When
the feet arrived off Van Buren, Street
pier Mayor Harrison and the Council
committee boarded the little viking snip
and Mayor Harrison gave Capt. Ander-
sen and his gallant crew the freedom
and hospitality of the city. In half an
hour the journey to the fair was
resumed. Meantime the Michigan
had taken up her tow cable and the vik-
ing manned with oarsmen whose great
muscle made her skim through the wa
ter at wonderfully rapid rate. At the
Worlds Fair harbor, hundreds of little
electric launches and pleasure boats
came out to welcome the sturdy
viking ship. Cannon doomed,
whistles blew and the thousands
of sightseers who had gathered along
the shore cheered. Director General
Davis and number Of Worlds Fair Of
fcers took the captain and crew of the
viking ship and welcomed them to the
fair. This was followed by reception
in the administration building to which
the chiefs Of departments and other Of
fciais were invited

CLEVELAND, O., July 15.-Fire broke
out in the naphtha works Of the STAN
dard Oil Company shortly after IL
o'clock this morning. The flames
burst out through the retorts with great
ferceness, and before the fire de-
partment could respond the
names had gained considerable
Roadway. 1t was feared that
several big tanks of oil in the vicinity
of-the naphtha works, which are located
near Broadway would be consumed.
The naphtha works are extensive and
the heat from the fercely-burning
material made it impossible when the
firemen first reached the scene to get
close enough to work to the best advan-
Iaoe.

STATE BANK TAX REPEAL.
How tho Matter viii Probably be Reserves
bV Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-sinee
the silver situation was rendered acute
by the action of India an issue made by
the Chicago platform has been lost sight
Of. That instrument pronounced IN
favor Of the repeal of the 10 per cent.
tax on circulation of state banks. There
are signs that this question will
be pushed to the front early at the
coming session of Congress the feeling
in favor of the repeal of this tax is very
strong in most of the Southern States
and some of the Western States.
Speaker Crisp has publicly pronounced
himself in favor of that measure. One
of the cabinet officers has argued him
self into the belief that the feeling
which prevails in many quarters against
state bank circulation is unfounded.
This cabinet officer is opposed to free
silver and seems to think that the
repeal of the state bank tax law
would be utilized to bring
about the repeal Of the Sherman law:
When asked if the President would
recommend it's repeal in his message,
he replied that he did not know, but
that he was certain the President would
not oppose it. There are a number
from Southern states who are
heartily in favor of state bank
currency and would be willing perhaps
to accept it in lieu of silver. Repub-
licans generally would oppose the re-
peal of the state bank tax, and it is not
thought that bill containing clauses re-
pealing the Sherman law and the state
bank tax could be enacted. An effort
will be made to induce those willing to
accept state bank currency in place Of
silver to support the repeal of the Sher-
man law, in hope that it would be fol-
lowed by the repeal of the state bank tax.
Whether such a programme could be
carried out cannot nowabe determined,
but it is certain that a contest will be
waged for the repeal of this tax only
less earnest than that which will be
waged about silver and the tariff.

HEAT HURTS THE FAIR.
The High Temperature Causes Falling Off
In the Attendance.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
July 15.-The oppressively warm wealth
er is beginning to tell'o the attend
ance at the Worlds Fair. The wisdom
displayed in locating the fair on
the lake front is fully appre-
ciated now and slight breeze
is always noticeable, but still walking is
practically impossible in the intense
heat, and the Sedan and wheel chairs
seem luxuries financially beyond the
reach of the multitude.
The search of the ruins of the cold
storage building still continues and
workmen are now engaged removing
the heavy machinery in and tearing
down the charred framework of the
structure. The odor from the debris is
almost uncomfortable, despite the large
quantities of disinfectants that have
been sprinkled over the scene.
A large crowd assembled in front OF
government plaza this morning to wit
ness the opening of the contest between
the various species of homing pigeons.
At given signal 200 pigeons were re-
leased and the result Of the competitive
flight will be awaited with great interest
by hundreds of enthusiasts. The 200
pigeons released were selected with
great care from 1000 Of the finest birds
in the country.

SANGER DID NOT RACE.
And Zimmerman Rode Away with the
Bic Prizes.

Hartford, Conn, July l5.-Sanger
and Zimmerman were both at the Rock
vile vile race today, and Zimmerman took
third in the one-mile handicap. Sanger
sat in the judges stand, but refused to
race, saying that the track was not in
good enough condition. A large crowd
was disappointed and many were heard
to say that Sanger was afraid.
The race meeting was the largest gath
ering of fast wheelmen this season in
New England, INCLUDING Zimmerman,
Sanger, Windle, Tyler, Nelson, Hess,
Hayland, Smith, c. NJ. Murphy and
George Smith. The one-half mile open
brought out all the fast men. Tyler
won the race after sharp contest with
Windle. The one-mile handicap, open,
was of much interest on account of Tim
merman's past record, but it was i'm
possible for him to overcome the It's
yard yards a handi Gp George Thatcher won,
by Zimmerman. Time, 2:27 1-5.
