1T WAS DOMINION DAY.
A CANADIAN CELEBRATION AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.
The Dead March Played in Front Of the
Model of the Ill Fated Bsttle-
Ship misunderstanding
for the Fourth.

CHICAGO, July This was Dominion
day at the White City. Canadians pre-
dominated. This was the twenty-sixth
anniversary OF the establishment of the
present government. The Dominion
building was dedicated. The sky was
overhung with clouds, threatning rain.
The exercises at the building were en-.
tirely informal. Then civic and social
organizations formed and marched to
the transportation building. where a
band played the dead march iE front OF
the model of the ill-fated battleship
Victoria; then the procession moved to
festival hall whers the formal exercises
were held, consisting of addresses and
music.
Despite the threatening clouds no rain
fell, and the day on the whole was
most enjoyable one. There were no
special celebrations besides those OF the
Canadians, but number of building
dedecations are scheduled Tor next week,
besides the great 4th of July celebra-
tion.
Mrs. Palmer, president Of the board
Of lady managers, has Issued call for q
special meeting of that body at the
woman'a building, July 9TH, to ratify
the appointment of the women Judges
on the iuries of award and other mat
ters.
The arrangement for the Fourth of
July celebration are nearly complete.
1t was thought there would be no par
ade, as the ceremonies com mmittee had
practically decided not to admit the
state militia or other organizations free.
On hearing this Governor Altgeld tele.
graphed from Springfield to Director
General Davis that the first brigade of
Illinois national guard had volunteered
to participate in the parade without pay,
but if each soldier had to pay so cents
admission there would be no troops.
Director-General Davis replied this
afternoon that troops would be admitted
free, and the adjutant-genera has or
dered General Wheeler, commanding the
first brigade, to have his troops partici-
pate.
The attendance for the day ia esti-
mated at about 125,000 paid admis-
sions.
The national worlds fair commission
met at noon. No quorum was present,
so it adjourned till Monday. President
Palmer thinks of resigning, being COM
PEELED to be absent month or six
weeks, and not liking to ask for go long

Getting kven with strikers.

TOPEKA, Kan, July LA short time

Fe shop hands was reduced from 10 to
hours. Now an order is issued directing
that enough men be discharged to re-
duce the expenses 20 per cent. The dis
charged men are all mechanics and
blacksmiths and boilermakers. One of
the discharged men said: 'The company
wants to get even with the strikers.
With the exception of two or three, all
the discharged men are members of the

The value of the race fluctuates from
year to year, according to the number
that declare out at $50, or at $25, as the
case may be. 1t is a very easy race to
get into and a very hard one to get
out of. The highest value it ever had
was in 1889, when Salvador won it; and
the lowest was in 1891, when Potomac
won it. Salvator's was worth $34, ,150 to
him. and Potomac's was $25,770. The
probabilities are that the race will be
worth at least $4,000 to the owners of
the wonderful dark horse that has won
this, the richest of all our 3-year.old

THE EXTRA SESSION GALL.


1t Was Hailed With Joy by tho Money
Barons of New York.
New YORK, July There is but one
opinion as to the effect of President
Cleveland's call for an extra session Of
congress In the commercial community,
and that is that it must necessarily inn
prove matters. For long time mer-
chants had been unable to obtain &C
commodation at banks at anything
like fair rates, for the reason that the
banks were compelled to husband their
resources, because of the uncertainty re-
garding the future. The local bank
officials, almost to q man, pointed to
the Sherman silver law as the great
disturbing factor. With the removal Of
what they term the prime cause OF the
present financial distress, i. g., the
compulsory purchase of silver-and
nearly every banker whose opinion
is entitled to be quoted agrees
that the call for an extra session OF con-
gress was only issued after it was reason-
ably certain that the Sherman law
should be repealed-the banks OF New
York are inclined to deal more literally
with merchants. There il already more
disposition to buy good paper but not in
any value to speak off, The gain made
lies in the fact that the administration
having determined to do something to
alleviate the distress In financial circles,
capital which has been locked up for
long time past, is now seeking employ
ment confident that congress will fnd
way to re,aedy the defect in our mone-
tary system. A return to normal rates
in the market for mercantile paper may
be looked for in the early future. Sales
of paper, not prime, we're made today at
15 per cent, but the ruling rate for the
very best names was about eight per
cent. Loan certificates for $3.50, 600
were issued today to clearing house
banks, making the total to date SIS, ,S00,-
600.
The presidents proclamation was
hailed with profound qualification in
financial and business circles every
where this morning. Men III all
branches of business were loud in praise
OF Cleveland's action. In Wall street
the fact was to certain extent dis
counted yesterday by rumor that such
step had been decided upon, so that
the effect on prices this morning on the
stock exchange was not SO marked,
compared with the close yesterday, bat
when compared with the lowest ead
opening prices yesterday, or the prices
of the day before, the improvement lie at
once seen to be very great, the differ
ence in some cases being as much az s
points.
Speaking of the proclamation this
morning, j .Pierpont Morgan, the head Of
Drexel, Morgan q Co.,, said: u am
perfectly delighted that Cleveland has
called an extra session, and think his
action will have ve:y beneficial effect

SAN FRANCISCO, July IA specialfrom
Washington to an evening paper says:
Now that the president has called COM
gress together the all important ques-
tion is What will it do? As matter Of
fact nobody can tell. The house, which
is always more amicable to the executive
than the senate, will probably repeal
the Sherman law, but not without
fight. Bland and other free silver men
will exhaust every privilege allowed
them under the rules to delay the action
and will flibuster just as long as they
are permitted, but it is virtually set
tied by the Democrats that the
next house will partake Of
the nature OF the Reed rules,
Filibustering will be reduced to
the minimum. Indeed 1t ia no secret
that the Democrats OF the house intend
to follow very closely upon the Reed
rules in some respects. The house will
be organized under pressure. Speaker
Crisp will be reelected. He will ar.
range the committees expeditiously,
and in the mean time the committee on
rules, which will be appointed first, will
proceed to prepare a code OF rules.
There will be certain provisions delib-
erately signed to prevent the friends OF
eilver from delaying the vote on the re-
peal OF the Sherman act. In the south
end of the Capitol, at least, the presi.
dents programme will be carried out.
The opposition at the other end will
be more effective. Senators Stewart
and Jones sof Nevada, together with
other silver advocates, will make de-
termined fight. They will oppose
the repeal of the silver law. I'm.
less legislation more favorable to
silver be offered as q substitute. That
will not be conceded. The Republicans
and Democrats who demand the repeal
of the Sherman act will insist upon it's
immediate repeal. There will be no
previous question in the senates no way
whstever Of curtailing the debate, ex-
cept by fixing the hour for che final
vote, and then making it question Of
physical endurance. Stewart iH q long
and enduring talker himself and could
consume week at least. There is no
way of changing the senate rules 30 as
to cut off debate. That would not be
tolerated. 1t would be contrary to the
established usageH. The president him
self has entertained doubt as to
whether the majority of the senate
would vote to repeal the Sherman act.

These Are Pretty Big Frogs.

Frogs are enormously plentiful in
Australia. Professor Lumholtz speaks
of being greatly annoyed by them in the
houses at the sheep ranches, where "not
only on the floor, but even in the water
jar, the bactrachians croaked merrily
aud often so loudly as to interfere with
conversation" There is one species OF
frog, very big, which buries itself DUR
ing the dry season in the ground. Frogs
of this kind contain much water, a fact
known to the natives, who dig them up
in the dry season and quench their
thirst by squeezing the water out Of
them. The white people sometimes re.
sort to these frogs for water. They
know the little mounds, resembling mole
hills, under which the frogs lie hid, aud
dig them out. According to report such
frog contains about wineglassful Of
clear, sweet water. -Chicago Times.
