CHICAGO, July S.-President Debs in
an interview with a United Press re-
porter last evening said, in speaking
Of the riots and shooting by the troops:
You can say that l greatly deplore
the rioting and disturbances, and re-
gret the shooting down of men who, /
am informed, were really in a part of
the mob that caused the trouble. GER
tainly do deplore this most unfortunate
occurrence. Yet it cannot be said they
injure our cause. Any mob is danger
Gus. You can find a crowd of people
assembled through curiosity to look
upon some sight. Some little thing
will start crowd, some trivial, unim-
pOrtant matter, and perhaps before a
realization of the act itself or the con-
sequence there is a riot. Innocent peo-
pie have probably gathered together as
spectators and jammed in the crowd are
in no wise to blame for the trouble
ensuing or in no manner interested be-
yond being spectators. Yet with a
rush comes the riotous demonstration,
and even diSintereSted and Indifferent
bystanders arc suddenly aroused by
that terrible power of a mob and fran
tically participate in whatever is done.
/ cannot say that the strikers are to
blame in this matter-in fact, am con-
fident that they were in no wise in
stigators of the trouble.
NO, / do not think that | or my as
sociates are responsible. Corporate
power and the unwise action of the
government are solely responsible, and
this will certainly be borne out by the
facts.
In regard to the reports that / am
to be arrested have nothing to say. If
have in any way violated municipal,
state or federal law, | am willing to
stand the consequence and take my
medicine. ] am sure have done moth
ing in violation of the law. No, I will
not go to jail if arrested upon baila-
BILE charge. 1 can tell you this: can
furnish two million dollars bail in two
minutes if necessary. I have engaged
a lawyer on the strength of the reports
Of impending arrest, and win fight the
matter TO the end.

Further Depredations by Anarchists For
eIgners Fired by Free whisky.

SPRING VALLEY, H., July EN-
boldened by being uninterrupted in
their looting expedition last night, the
vicious mob of foreign anarchists
committed more depredations yester-
day, and being filed up with the beer
and whisky that saloonlxeepers have
given them in response to their de-
mands and their threats they are to-
night in condition to do any act of
violence Since early morning the
mob of 1000 men and women has
terrorized the citizens.
This afternoon the mob went to Sam
uel Horner's butcher shop and de-
manded meat. The proprietor refused,
and then the mob rushed in, beat the
men in charge, compelled them to cut
up the meat and then helped them
selves until all the stock was gone.
The mob then turned its attention to
grocery stores, and at several they
were givea provisions. Those who re-
fused to give goods to the psob were
threatened with looting, and il is
probable that the next twenty-four
hours viii see the destruction of these
stores.
1t is reported that 200 men from this
place are on the way to Ladd, little
mining town four miles distant, to
loot the coal company's store at that
place.

 "Six months ago l was travelling in Arizona in stage" said traveller re- gently. The temperature was hundred and something in the shade, and hundred and twenty odd inside the coach which rivaled it's fellows for stufiiness and discomfort. There wasn't a vacant inch of space, and as two of the passengers were Chinamen on their way to some town where they had heard there was vacancy in the laundry business. the condition of af- fairs was abominablc. We. that is, the English-speaking passengers. fretted and tuned and looked at our watches about every five minutes At last we stopped to change horses at a little town where two white men were wait ing to join the coach. As there wasn't space left for a child. I supposed they would have to wait till the next day, but they didn't
 ''The two Chnamen were forcibly ejected, and, despite their chattering and evident protests their seats were occupied by the newcomers, and we continued our wearisome sweat-box journey. No one but myself was in the least way disconcerted at what ap- peared to be a most unwarrantab ble outrage, especially as the heather Chi nee had paid their fares to the place they had been reckless enough to de- sire to go, and there was no sugges- ton of refund or rebate. On the re- turn trip a few days later l had the curiosity to inquire what had become of the evicted Chinamen and found to my surprise that they had accepted the situation philosophically, had started a laundry in the town they were thrown into and were doing a fair bus mess Whatever may be the defects in the Chinese get-up. and they are many. doubt whether the members of any other nationality would have regarded an outrage of that character as the finger of destiny and fallen in with the decrees of fate so peacefully Louis sGlobe-Democrat

 Many reports of minor damages have been received from the interior oI he state So far no serious casualties were reported, but the telegraph serv- ice is badly demoralized and many towns cannot be communicated with In the central part of the state the storm assumed the character of a bouncing cyclone. unrooting many houses, and skipping others apparently in its path.
 Near Lexington the large Pepper dis tillery was unroofed and otherwise damaged. X number of large barns in other sections were destroyed, and the loss caused by the destruction of out buildings, fences and shade trees will amount to many thousands of dollars.
 In Louisville little damage was done, but considerable alarm prevailed on the river front. where the steamboats were exposed to the greatest force of the wind.
 The wreclzage of the .Jeffersonville bridge came near causing the destrue- ton of the large ferry steamer City of Jeffersonville. The boat was caught by the wind and turned almost around nearly striking one of the piers. The pilot put the steamer about. prevent ing an accident

Great Loss of Life in ollahoma.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Feb. 12.-A terrific snow and sleet blizzard has been rag ing for forty-eight hours, the worst ever known here. The trains are all blocSaded and all communication is cut off, so it is impossible to get full reports. but it is cer- tain that there have been a large number of fatalities among the settlers of the Cherokee strip. Two families near Ponca perished and a man was found dead east of here in Lincoln county. Large numbers of much damage was done to fruit trees throughout the territory.

Seventy Men in Perilous Position.

CmcAeo. Feb. 1a,-Seventy men, with blankets strapped across them. are huddled together in the third-story of the waterworks crib off Sixty-eighth street. Waves filled with ice are dashing savagely against the structure and washing through the lower stories, whose win dows have been smashed in by the storm. If the men are not washed away it is likely they will be severely prostrated by the cold, for they have no fire. They represent the day and night shifts at work on the new tunnel. \ fruitless effort to reach the men by the tug Rosalie to-day nearly resulted in the wreck of the boat and the loss of five brave men. Relief will be sent out to the crib early in the morning if the storm abates.

 About 10 o'clock Sunday night a horse attached to cab belonging to the Metropolitan Stables Co stepped on the end of live wire while run ming rapidly west on Morgan street and fell over dead.
 At 5:30 this morning a horse at tached to a bakery wagon owned by George Theis met a similar fate. The animal was struck by the end of a wire which hung out from a telegraph pole and dropped to the ground dead. The sudden stopping of the wagon threw the driver head fore most into the snow. and he narrowly escaped death by alighting on his back just few inches from the end of the wire.

A Survey of the Harbor.

There is an opportunity to have sur
vey and new chart of Savannah harbor
made. The Importance of such a chart
cannot be overestimated. A chart is for
the benefit Of mariners and is sent by the
government to all parts of the world
No chart of Savannah harbor has been
made since 1874, twenty years ago. A
very great change has taken place in the
hsrbor since that time, and yet mariners
abroad get their impressions of our har-
Dor from that old chart. No doubt many
of them are still under the impression
that there is not more than fifteen feet of
water in the harbor That impression
ought to be removed as soon as possible.

that she now has twenty-five or twenty
three feet Of water in her harbor
A coast survey ship is now at Bruins
wick, making survey of the harbor of
that port. The work will soon be com
pleted and the ship will be sent elsewhere.
Why should she not be sent to Savannah?
There is nothing in the way of having a
thorough survey and chart of Savannah
harbor made. If the city authorities and
the trade bodies will request that the
survey be made their request will be
granted, Let the council and the mayor
and the trade bodies advise with Repre-
sentative Lester at once in respect to
the matter He will gladly communicate
their wish to the coast survey bureau and
urge prompt compliance with it.
There ought to be no delay. Whatever
is to be done should be done at once. II

them are not published. They are neces-

to the sea and would be
helpful to the engineer in charge of the

would set at rest whatever doubt any one
may have as to whether there is as much

A Source of Discomfort.

Several times recently the democratic
senators have attacked the civil service
law. Last Monday two or three demo-
cratic senators spoke against it, Their
opposition to it grows out of the fact that
the great majority of employees Of the
government who are protected by it are
republicans. Their view is that the law
has been used to accomplish partisan
ends, and that is some ground for think
ing they are right.
During Mr.. Clevelands first term he
administered the law faithfully, and he
is endeavoring to comply strictly with its
would like to see it administered fairly.
Republican administrations have not
been so conscientious in discharging their
duty under it. That is why there are so
many more republican employees of the
government. than there are democratic
ones. 1t is not to be wondered at, there
fore, that democratic senator's are finding
fault with the civil service law.
The law is all right, but the admins
tratiou of it has not been. 1t was de-
manded by public sentiment, and that
SSubAulehb Is as SGTOLg IOudy as IL ever
was. There is no probability that the
law will be repealed as long as it is hon
.estly administered. If, however it be-
comes evident that it is not being so ad-
ministered, the clamor against it will be
too strong to be resisted
There ought to be change made in the
law so that the government places would
be evenly divided between democrats and
republicans. If that were done the oppo-
sition to the law would cease. 1t is GER
tainly unjust that the majority of the
better Offices as well as nearly all the
minor ones should be filled by republi-
cans under a democratic administration.
The democrats should have their share of
them.
Unless there is a pretty even division of
the government places between the two
great parties strong effort will be made
to repeal the civil service law. Injustice
is always resisted in whatever phase it
presents itself, and the permitting of re-
publicans to have the lions share of the
offices is certain to be provocative of hos
tility TO that law.
