SYSTEMATIC STEALING.

Chicago Robbed to the Amount of MiI-
 Hons by "BIind" Water Pipes.
 CmGAGo, Sept. 2.-Ample evidence of systematic stealing of city water by means of "blind' pipes has been discov- cred in the Union stock yards. The benefciaries have been certain pack CTS, and the investigation, which has only just begun, is expected to dis close wholesale secret tapping of the mains in the old town of Lake, in which the stock yards are located.
 Subordinate officials of the water department, acting under secret or- ders of the commissioner of public works, and assisted by a gang of worl1men, discovered a six-inch pipe from a city main to one of the big packing houses. which was diverting water from the meter.
 It is estimated by the investigators that the city has lost millions of doI- lars in water revenues by reason of the secret appropriations of water for many years. The investigation is hampered by the fact that there are no maps of the town of Lake water system and it may be necessary to un. cover four miles of mains and cut off every pipe leading to the stock yards territory to stop the suspected leak s.

ANARCHY's RED FLAG.

Carried by Socialists Through the Streets
 of Chicago, in Spite of the Mayors Pro
 hihition. But It's Blood-suCgesting Color
 was Shrouded by a Covering of "No Guar ter Blaek-A Flag Reconsideration acI sehwabs Speech.
 CHCAGo. Sept. 1.-The knights of the Red flag carried their banner through the streets of Chicago to-day notwithstanding the orders of the mayor, but it's redness was concealed by covering of black.1 They held celebration this afternoon in the back yard of saloon on Clybourn avenue, at which Oscar Neebe and Michael Schwab, two of the anarchists par doned by Gov. Altgeld, and Lucy Par sons were present.
 The day was made the occasion for the presentation of handsome red flag to the socialist labor party of Chicago. by the wives and daughters of socialists. At the grounds it was nnfurled amid great cheers, but it was not waved according to orders.
 The gathering of socialists, some of whom declared themselves to be anarchists and others who would be insulted at the name, was not SO large or enthusiastic as similar assemblapes have been. The speakers of the day were NJ V Brtzeus and Michael Schwab.
 After the presentation, Mir. Britzeus scored Mayor Swift for interfering with the liberty of American citizens by refusing them the right to march through the streets with red flag, the symbol of socialism. Mr. schwab disappointed those who expected him to say much regarding his being put in prison. The speaker did say that his followers would succeed if 100, GOO of them were thrown into prison, but he failed to make any personal re- marks. He urged those present not to go home and sleep, but to go to work and rally their people and teach their children to fight against oppression.

Some Figures that Will Be of Interest to
 Sheep Owners.
 BosToN. Sept 1.-The National As sociation of Wool Manufacturers will publish in it's September bulletin the results of it's investigations concerning the wool clip for 1895. The wool product is put at 294 296, 726 pounds, washed and unwashed, including 40,. 000,0O0 pulled wool, against S25,910,- TIP pounds in 1894. Reduced to secured basis, the total product is placed at 125, ,71s,69O pounds. The number of sheep on the 1st of April is estimated at 80 949,- 8ss, and the average weight of fleece was 6,995 pounds, the slight variation arising chiefly from the reduction in weight in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Oklahoma. In most cases where the weight of t1eeces has been reduced there will also be reduction in the shrinkage between the condition of the wool as sheared and it's secured state This is caused in most instances by the crossing of merinos with other breeds, the result being a fleece of less weight and containing less yoll1 OF suint, and therefore of lighter shrink- age, although the change has in some cases resulted from dry season.

 NEW YoRK, Aug a1.-An hail, De- fenderI The gallant white sioop won the third trial race yesterday and was formally selected to defend the Amer ica's cup, the blue ribbon of the sea"
 In wash to windward of ten miles, and run home with spinnaker and balloons set, the Herreshoff keelboat beat tho Vigilant handsomely, and could have beaten her q minue moro had she been pushed to her utmost
 A rattling breeze and rough sea made the test of abilities of the new boat one of the best that has been af- forded. Yachting sharps whe saw her said that she would do. She re moved all doubts as to her ability to go through head sea in blow. She es- tablished record as a weather boat, and her heavier and stouter rig did good service. The keelboat outpointed the center. boarder and outfooted her in the windward work She showed herself stiffer in a breeze and easier in getting through rough water. She made less fuss and left clean wake.
 At the outer mark she had five nin- utes and seven seconds the best of it. The Defender won by minutes and 12 seconds elapsed time over the twenty mile course.
 After the race the following an- nouncement was made by the cup com mitteo
