IOWA TROOPS.
Manner in Which the Iowa National Guard
Might Go to Chicago.

Might w ~
Dies MONIES, July 9.-The condition
at Chicago being deemed SO serious by
the president that he has ordered seven
or eight regiments of United States
troops to the seat of war from all over
the country, while those left at their
posts have their hands full taking care
of local situations, the officers of the
Iowa National guard are considering
their chances of being ordered out.
All the Illinois state troops are now
in the field except fourteen companies
which are held in reserve at points
where trouble is feared. Wisconsin
state troops may be needed at Mil
waul1ee and Michigan troops at Detroit
and other parts. Should the situation
become suddenly so grave that more
troops are needed at once, President
Cleveland might call upon Governor
Jackson for troops. There are now in
the state over two thousand guardsmen
who could be ordered out. but before
they left the state would have to be
mrs tered in as regulars. All of the
Iowa guard could be rushed to Chicago
in twelve or thirteen hours and would
make strong force.

Strikers Rulers at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Julyl O.-An eff
fort will be made to-day to move the
freight trains which are lying dead in
the yards. The first effort will be in
the Big Four yards, but there is no in
dication of resumption of traffic in
time to prevent great loss by the clos
ing of mills and factories and
the enhancement of the price
of meat and other food
products. In more than one es-
ia blishment the employees have been
informed that they are at any time
liable to be thrown out of employment
Between 200 and 800 Big -Four en-
ployes, excepting engineers met and
decided to continue the strike, re-
naming out until their local griev-
ances chief of which is a 10 per cent
cut in wages are adjusted. The
freight conductors on all roads have
also decided to join the strike

RAILROADS ABLAZE.
Thousands of Cars and 9th
PROPERTY DESTROYED.

CHICAGO, July Train after tral
was overturned and wrecked yestd
day. All day the yards were in rid
Gus condition, with the authorities u
able to do anything. and the railroad
abandoned all efforts to move train
State troops have been ordered ou
During the night incendiaries set fiji
to the Pan Handle yards and betwee
1000 and 1000 cars were burned. TT
depot at Sixty-third street was d.
stroyed. The Grand Trunk yards d
Elston were sea of flames The Ill
destroyed. At the stock yards sys
tematic process of firing cars was in
dulged in with appalling results
Six men were killed by deputies dur
ing the day.
The aggregate losses to the railroad
will be enormous, Miles of tracks ar
ruined by fire and heat; hundreds o
switch and signal towers with expens
i've mechanism are utterly destroyed
valuable locomotives wrecked and dis
abled, and endless tangles of wires an6
PROSTATE poles litter the ground. Only
one residence was burned thus far, anC
that was in the stock yards district
but the wanton destruction of railway
property continues unchecked. The
loss to the Pan Handle alone will ag
gregate $1.250,00O.
1t now appears that nothing but such
a massing of fighting men as was never
before seen in the history of this natior
in the time of peace will stop the riot
ing. The strike infection is SO wide
spread that the president and his ad
visers believe it will be unwise to with
draw any more regular troops from the
country west of Chicago. 1t is, there
fore, in contemplation, should the
forces, federal, state and municipal
already here, be unequal to the task o.
restoring order, to send here ten com
panies of federal troops, stationed on
Canadian border in New York state
with the reserved intention, if the cir
cumstances demand it, of the president
exercising his authority to call foi
about twenty thousand men from the
crack militia regiments of New York
and PENNSYLVANIA.

THE TONE OF TRADE.
Industrial Disturbances Render
Speculation Unreliable.

Industrial Disturbances Render
Speculation Unreliable.
New YORK. July Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says: The in
terruption of business by railroad
strikes is such that the usual signs,
whether bright or gloomy; have little
value. Speculation in products has
turned largely upon temporary uncer-
tainties, but meat products are higher.
while improved crop products have de-
pressed wheat "a cents. The aggre-
gate export of crops for the year is not
far from 165, 600, 900 bushels, -four in
cluded, though at the lowest average
price ever known. The receipts at
western ports are about 1873, 900, 600
bushels against 249, 900, 900 the previous
year. Cotton promises well. The iron
industry has not yet recovered from
the coal miners strike The demand
for iron products does not appear bet
ter and prices are all tending down
ward. Textile manufacturers do not
show Improvement, while the unsold
stock of print cloths reached /. O64, 900
pieces, and a downward revision in
prices of bleachcd sheetings is expected.
A large number of wooden mills have
filled all orders in hand and closed for
the present. and in most branches or
derS for the future are far below eX-
pectation.
The failures during the week were
1S1 in the United States against 334 last
year.

SUNK THE VALKYRIE
DUNRAvEN'S YACHT SENT TO
THE BOTTOM.
All on Aboard Safely Landed-Come
Into Collision While Trying to Make
the Start for the Mud Hook club
Regatta

HUNTERS Quay, Firth of Clyde,
July THE Valkyrie, Lord Dun
ravens fleet yacht was sunk by the
Satanita while making the start for
the Mud Hook Yacht club race to-day
These two yachts, with the Vigilant
and Britannia, were coming up to the
starting line preparatory to beginning
the race, when the accident took
place. In some way the two
craft became locked together, and in
few minutes the Valkyrie settled
and sank. while the Satanita was SO
badly damaged that she was obliged
to retire. Some time passed before
the people ashore fully realized what
had happened. The Satanita, it APP
pears, was luffing for the start and
was unable to get out of the Valkyrie' S
way as the latter was coming up on
the star board tack. The Valkyrie's
bowsprit ran across the Satanita's fore
sail and the collision carried away the
Satanita's bowsprit and topmast, leav-
ing her a wreck, covered with tangled
rigging and collapsed sails The
force of the collision cut the Valkyrie
down to the waters edge and she
slowly settled and sank in minutes.
Ashore, owing to the mist, it was
difficult to immediately ascertain
what had happened, except that there
had been a collision and that the
Valkrie had gone down.
For time it was feared that num-
Der of the crew of the Valkyrie had
been drowned. Happily this was not
the case, as Lord Dunraven, Watson
and the officers and crew of
the Vallyrie were picked up by
boats which put ont from the shore
and from the many sailing yachts and
steam yachts in the vicinity. Lord
Dunraven was sight long to be re-
membered when he was taken on
board Hebe He was no longer the
spruce, dignified gentleman so well
remembered in America.

HER CARGO ON FIRE.
Steamship Caracas Forced to Return to
New York-Passengers Landed.

New York-Passengers Landed.
New YORK, July The Red ID Line
steamship Caracas, which sailed
from this port to Venezuelan
ports last Monday, returned on
fire at 5 o'clock this morning.
As she passed Sandy Hook she signalled
the operator stationed there of her
predicament He promptly notified
her agents and the fireboat New York
er was sent down the bay and met the
Caracas off Robbins reef. AS soon as
the New YorSer came alongside
the burning steamship began pumping
water into her hold by means of
several streams. Meanwhile the
tug Excelsior, which had been
chartered by the Red ID. Line
agent, took off the passengers and
landed them at the Battery. The
Caracas was then towcd over to the
north side of Liberty Island, where
she is likely to sink from the great
amount of water being pumped into
her.
The Caracas is an American iron
screw steamship of 1.;75 tons. Her
cargo, which is valued at more than
$50, 900, was discovered to be on fire
yesterday. Efforts to extinguish the
blaze were unsuccessful and it was
deemed best to return to port.

set in operation at once. The arrest
of President Debs and other promi-
nent labor leaders was urged by some

Schubert was so prolific of songs
that he never remembered, few days
later, what he had written. A friend
placed one OF Schubert's own songs
before it's composer two weeks after it
had been produced. The latter had
forgotten it and asked whose it was.
Wagner had a clearly nodded,
classical face, with thin, cynical lips,
which seemed to wear a perpetual
sneer. He was exceedingly vain,
greatly disliked to hear words of
praise given to any other composer.
and rarely spoke even in faint COM
mendation of the greatest Of his pre-
dccesSors.

FIRST REAL TOUCH OF WINTER.
We Have Slight SnUw-Storm Here, and
1t Is More Severe NOrth

We Have Slight Sn"w-Storm Here, and
1t Is More Severe North
Winter is here. Like a thief In the
night. Jack Frost stole into Richmond
early Sunday morning. and shifting here
and there with his icy fingers, caused
many an ear to tingle and many a nose
to blush like unto the peony.
Heavy wraps and furs which had been
stored away for many months were
dragged forth, the moth-hllls and to-
bacco were emptied from the pockets
and everybody went forth to church or
elsewhere revealing in the change and
breathing in the exhilarating ozone. To-
ward evening heavy gray clouds began
to gather In the heavens. and more than
one sage prognosticator predicted that
snow would fall before morning.
Very few believed their prediction. but
about 10 o'clock at night Mother Goose
began picking her geese preparatory To
Thanksgivng-Da and in few moments
the fleecy flakes began to fall to this ter
restrial globe. Thick and fast they fell
but the earth had not been fully prepared
to receive them, and they melted as soon
as they came in contact with the ground.
The storm continued for several hours.
but before morning the heavens cleared
and the sun shone forth at the appointed
hour with all of Its accustomed glory.
There was absolutely no heat. however,
I'm its rays, and the day was as cold and
the atmosphere as penetrating as In Janu-
airy.
The storm was more severe furthei
north, and at some points along the Ricn-
mond Fredericksburg and Potomac road
the fall of snow amounted to several
inches in depth.
