DENVER, July 29.-The lynching Of
the Italian Arata has shown the i'm
mense crowd of idle workmen at present
in Denver what can be accomplished by
violence, and there is dread in the minds
of many citizens that a riot of enormous
size, having for its purpose the looting
of the city, may break out any time.
The thousands of unemployed work
men already here are beng augmented
daily by others throughout the state,
who are gradually working their way to
Denver.
The county and city and the numer-
Gus charity organizations are doing their
best to feed and shelter the great army
of penniless people, but are incapable of
meeting all the demands.
The banks of the city have called upon
the United States troops at Fort Logan,
of which there are 100, to be ready to
protect their institutions in the case of
an outbreak. Some Of the banks are

DENVER WAS HOT.
How Swift Frontier Justice was
Dealt Out to a Brutal Italian
Murderer.
Jail Doors Battered Down BY an In
furiated Mob and the Villain
Hanged.

DENVER, July 21.-Last night b. G.,
Lightfoot, an old Grand Army man, was
brutally murdered by Dan Arata, an
Italian saloon keeper of unsavory fame,
The murderer was placed in the county
Jail and the matter had been discussed
all day by the people. Many threats OF
lynching were made but not much at
~tention was paid to them as it was
thought the time for frontier justice in
Denver had passed.
This evening, however, there was a
large mass meeting of unemployed men
at Seventeenth and Market streets.
There were speeches made or the pres
ent financial depression AMI kindred
topics. When the speakers were all
through a tall, grey-whiskered veteran,
wearing a Grand Army uniform, mount

The crowd understood him and 1900
people took up the march after him to

| door on the north side was battered in.
! At this point Capt. Crews, the taller,
and guards assisted by some Of the city
police turned a heavy stream of water
upon the crowd. 1t had no effect on
their ardor. BY this time the crowd in
the street around the Jail had swelled to
10000 at least. The people IN the Jail
turned off the lights, leaving the en-
trance in darkness, The crowd secured
headlights from some cable cars and
brought them to the scene. When the
door leading to the Jail office fell in the
guards began to fire. The enragrd mob
did not hesitate although two ii their
number received painful wounds. The
guards were quickly o~verpowercd and as
the jailsr would not give any informa-
ton the crowd started in search for
Arata's cell.
When it was reached it was quickly
broken into. One of the mob with Il
knife ripped the murderers abdomen.
Others interfered and he was dragged
out to the street, pulled up to the limb
of "a tree and his body riddled with bull
lets. Finally the rope broke and the
bleeding body fell into the gutter with IA
splash. Some of the crowd yelled 10

seized the rope and dragged the corpse
by the neck through the mud into the
business portion of the city. At Seven
teenth and Curtis streets the body was
again strung up to a telegraph pole and
it was a quarter of an hour before the
police took it down and placed it in the
morgue. The crowds then dispersed. \
number of the Jail officials were badly
hurt by missiles thrown by the mob.

The SiaInese War.

LONDON, July 2S.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette says this evening that it learns
from high authority that the Franco
Siamese difficulty has been settled.
France has agreed to accept Slams pro-
posals and abandon all claims to the ter.
ritory between the 18th and I'D parallels.
In the house of lords this evening Lord
Roseberry announced that he could not
make a full statement regarding the
Siamese matter until a report is received
from Lord Dutferin in Paris. From the
outset Great Britain had confined itself
to providing for the safety of British
lives and interests in Bangkok 1t had,
from the beginning, avoided giving adj
vice to Siam beyond the occasions when
she had asked for it, but had urged her
to make terms as quickly as possible
with her powerful n%eighbor. Neverthe-
less. the British government was not in
different to the events now passing. in
Siam. Her great commercial interests

regarding it as "A matter of import that
France and Great Britain should not
have co-terminous frontiers, because
that would involve great military ex-
penditures and create a liability to a
panic. In the house of commons Sir
Edward Grey made a similar statement.
News from Bangkok says: The French
fleet gave notice of a blockade today, all
outgoing vessels being warned to clear
by Saturday or be tied up. The block

coast of the gulf. There is little doubt
among foreigners that 1t is the French

and unless England interferes, there is
little hope that the French will desist
from extreme measures, although it is
well known to them that the government
of Siam is exceedingly anxious to avoid
war.

sherman IN Doubt.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator John
Sherman upon being interviewed at his
home is reported to have replied as fol-
lows to the question as TO what he
thought congress would do in the mat
ter of repeal of the silver purchase law:
my opinion is not worth any more
than yours. You may think it is, but it
is not. You can not tell what these fell
lows will do. Most of them will want
to talk. The effect Of a prompt and
emphatic repeal of the purchasing clause
in the present silver law is what is really
demanded, but | have my doubts as to
whether it can be done. My neighbor,
Congressman Harter, thinks they are
going to repeal that clause, but I'm not
SO sanguine."
