superb circular-porched entrance and
its figure-tipped spires; the light and
airy electricity building, with its open
roof lanterns, it's curvillinear-receS
entrance, where erstwhile stood the
statue of Benjamin Franklin on the
south. and it's graceful projecting bays
on the north; the attractively inordi-
nate, but substantial-looking mines
building; the mammoth manufacturers
and liberal arts building, with large
arches of steel .inclosing a forty-acre
lot and its lofty triumphal corner and
central arches, together with num-
Der of minor structures, have passed
into history at the wave of an incen-
diarys blazing hand.
From the south colllonade to the gov
eminent building and from the lake to
the golden door of the angel-guarded
transportation building, the world 5
famous White City is no more.
AS the evening sun was shedding his
level rays for the last time on the
erstwhile scene of life, they fell upon
the familiar outlines of these ioaters
of human handiWork almost untouched
in their serene Ioveliness.
Two hours later, the new moon bent
her pale crescent above them, shining
on a mass of ruins, wrapped in a pail
of smoke, save where the yellow red
of blazing timbers flared against the
blue-black which covers the sight of
the White City, and covers up all OF
the great departmental structures.
The fire spared only the transporta-
ton building horticultural, the fisher
les building and the art palace. The
last named is now occupied by the
Field Columbian museum and the fish
cries building is a mere skeleton, hav-
ing been demolished by a wrecking
company Besides these the govern
ment building, the. woman's building
and the British buildings are all that
remain of the hundreds of structures
that once filled Jackson park. Even
the polyglot glories of the merry Mid
way have departed
Sic transit gloria mundi
The fire was communicated almost
simultaneously to the transportation,
manufactures and agricultural build
ings. BY hard work, however, the fire
men succeeded in saving the greater
part of the transportation building, but
the other two buildings were soon en-
veloped in flames, and by o'clock the
last of the frame work of each had
fallen in. When the firemen first
reached the spot. an engine was de
tailed to prevent the fire from commu-
MICA ting with machinery hall.
For some time the effort was success
full, but with the four immense struc-
lures, the terminal building, the cleo
trio, and the administration building
were on fire at the same time. The
heat became 50 intense that machinery
hall was ignited also.

MAYOR HOPKINS DECISION.
Every Law and Ordinance VIII Be
RigidIy Enforced.

Chicago, July 5.-After a personal in
spection of the scenes Of violence near
Fortieth street, this afternoon, Mayor
Hopkins returned to the city hall and
for half an hour was closeted with
Corporation Counsel Reubens.
At the expiration of their interview
la letter was dispatched to Chief of
Police Brennan and the following proc
lamatiOn issued:
1.-The events Of the last twenty-four
hours render it necessary that extraor-
binary measures be taken to preserve
public peace and order.
"The mayor of the city Of Chicago
has the legal right to demand the SER
vices of every able-bodied man in the
city and to call upon the militia, if
necessary, to suppress riots or other
disorderly conduct, and he will certain
ly exercise every power vested in him
by law for the protection Of property
and the preservation of the public
peace.
HE expects every citizen to do his
duty in preserving the peace by avoid
ing all places where crowds are congre-
gated, to attend strictly to his own
particular affairs, and to see that all
women and children are kept away
from the public streets and railway
tracks.
THE mayor intends to inforce every
law of the state and ordinance of the
city. and he confidently relies upon the
people of Chicago to aid him in his
efforts in that behalf.
IF the well-disposed comply with his
request, as herein indicated. he will no
doubt finds means of preventing the
evil-disposed from violating the laws.
1.-The police force is hereby directed
to dispense every assemblage of per-
Lii i
railway tracks, and to promptly arrest
all persons who refuse to dispense on
demand.
JOHN P. HOPKINS,
Mayor"

lillian chamber of deputies to he House

troops in states must be construed; es-
pecially is this SO in matters relating
to the exercise of the police power and
the preservation of law and order.
ITO absolutely ignore a local govern
ment, in matters of this kind, when the
local government is ready to furnish as
sistance needed, and is amply. able to en-
force the law, not only insults the peo-
pie Of this state by imputing to them an
inability to govern themselves or an I'M
Willingness to enforce the law, but is IN
violation of a basic principle of our in
situations.
THE question of federal supremacy is
in no way involved. No one disputes 1t
for moment, but under our constitution
federal supremacy and local self-govern-
ment must go hand in hand and to ig-
more the latter is to do violence to the
constitution.
LAS governor of the state of Illinois
I protest against this, and ask immedi-
ate withdrawal of the federal troops
from activity in this state. Should the
situation, at any time get so serious
that we cannot control ii with the state
forces, we will promptly ask for Federal
assistance but until such time, protest,
with all due Difference against this I'M
called-for reflection upon our people, and
again ask the immediate withdrawal OF
these troops

CIRCUIT COURT.
Ed Henderson, Acquitted--Day Brothers
--TriaI;Today OF j. Hull. ~

The jury in the case of the State VS..
Ed. Henderson brought in verdict of
acquittal Saturday night. This case was
marked by great bitterness on the part
of opposing counsel-A. S.. Bennett and
w. FL. Wilson. The battle was over the
admittance of certain testimony. Mr.
Bennett endeavored by a number of re-
putable witnesses to establish a reputa-
ton for peace and quietude. of defend
ant, and Mr.. Wilson as diligently tried
to establish the non-existence of these
characteristics and others detrimental to
the interests of Henderson. Sub
stantially the same questions were put
time and again by Mr.. Wilson, which
were objected to by Mr.. Bennett and
sustained by Judge Bradshaw. The
patience of defendant's counsel finally
became exhausted, and at about the
same time Mr.. Wilson's sweetness of
temper gave out. It resulted in a battle
royal between the two attorneys, the
prosecuting attorney twitting counsel
about unfair methods, and Mr.. Bennett
retaliating by changing him with ignor-
auce of the rules OF evidence and abusing
his own rights. The case wassubmitted
to the jury without argument. The
main witness for the state was Mr.. Z.
III. Jackson, testifying that he was not
sure that Henderson intended to shoet
at him.
This morning Day Brothers, through
their attorney, Judge Stott, endeavored
to secure new>trial in the damage case
of Smith VS.. JIG. and I. n. Day; the
appeal was not granted.
The case of State VS.. J. Hull was then
taken up. Hull murdered Ben Cum
mings at the Cascades New Years morn
ing. The following jury was empan-
elled: G. A. Liebe, w. N. Wiley, Geo.
Noble, M. A. Miller, G. L. Schmidt, Geo.
Patterson, Clark McCowen. ID. F. Os-
born, Geo. Nolin, Peter Kepke, R. B.
Driver, D. A. Sturgis. E. B. Dufur was
appointed attorney for defendant. Hull
was dressed in a faded cheek suit of
light material and appeared very ner-
vous. The following witnesses came up
from the Cascades and are in attendance
at the trial: w. Lewis, A. j. Knightly,
'Ohas. Stewart, Mrs. John Atwell, Mrs.
Stout, DIR. G. F. Candfana and Thomas
Lewis. Early in the afternoon Attor-
ney Dufur was addressing the jury with
resume of the case, previous to the
hearing of the testimony. The grand
jury has indicted Hull for murder in
the second degree.

on the north side of the canal, contain
ing the engine and boilers for the air
compressor was discovered in blaze, at
about L O'Clock in the morning. For
tunately the rain was pouring down in s
torrent, that materially assisted the
small force on hand in subduing the
flames. The building was entirely de-
stroyed, but the dynamo house, next
adjoining it was saved, while the large
stone shed with its overhead traveller"
engine, scarcely ten feet distant was
barely scorched. Very little damage
was done, but it was narrow escape.
The first result of the damage suit in
your city has been the discharge of
every boy under 2a years OF age, em-
ployed onthe works. This seems little
hard on the young apprentices and
others who have their way to make in
the world. Some of the boys had been
employed at the solicitation Of parents,
who wished them kept off the streets,
yet all go alike, for hard as as it seems
on them, it is harder on the company
to be held responsible for accidents re-
sulting from boyish heedlessness.
1t is hardly presumable that even the
most sentimental jury would find in
favor of grown man who should be
hurt while climbing up to an engine on
high trestle, by grasping the rails in
front of its moving wheels, out of sight
of the engineer. So of course this seem
ingly special liability for boys has been
met by special measures for protection,
and the boys must go.
