HILL CONGRATULATED.
He, loo, is Sorry He Could Not BE
Present..


Senator Hill wrote as follows:

that 1 shall be unable to participate
with you in your celebration of the
4th inst
''You have. however, my best wishes
that the occasion Will be one of the
most useful of all your time-honored
demonstrations. The present is indeed
a fitting time for the revival of Revolu-

patriotic pledges for the promotion of
the best interests of our common
country. 1t is useless to disguise the
fact that the spirit of socialism is I'M
fortunately abroad in the land de-
handing among other things a more
institution than our fathers were ever
willing to sanction, insisting upon
odiouS schemes of taxation, foreign to
the genius of our free institutions;
proposing to ignore or belittle the re-
served rights of the states; seeking an
extension of functions or jurisdictions
of the federal judiciary by the gradual
and insidious absorption or exercise of
powers heretofore invoked in violation
of the spirit, if not the letter of the
constitution; perSiStently insisting
upon special legislation for the benefit
of private interests and cliqueS rather
than for the general welfare and for
public purpose; clamoring for fat or
deprecated currency in the place OF
the coined money of the constitution;
urging the assumption on the part Of
the states of the actual management
of nearly all corporate interests of a
semi-pubIic character, rather than a
reasonable control and regulation by
US and desiring to inf1ict upon us the
enactment or arbitrary enforcement of
unjust, vexatious and puritanical
sumptuary laws which needlessly in
terfere with the harmless habits and
customs Of large portions Of our peo-
pie.
'Tn other directions there are indi-
cations of efforts to change the na-
ture of our government by transform
ing it from a simple republic of states
to a strong centralized government,
with greatly augmented powers; or
endeaVoring to maintain an immense

AT CAMP HANCOCK.
Yesterday the Most Successful Day
of the Week.

st. Louis, July Am point of attend
ance today was the most successful
of the week thus far at Camp Han
cock. Despite the threatening aspect of
the sky and the fact that rain had fall
len for an hour during the afternoon,
thousands of people came to the camp
At the sham battle, when the great
est number of people were present,
| the grand stand and club grounds
and every available space were jam
med full of humanity, and it was esti-
mated over 10000 people were on the
grounds.
All the troops in camp engaged in
the sham battle, in addition to the
entire First regiment infantry, national
guard of Missouri, battalion of cadets
and the two troops of the United
States cavalry. According to the pro-
gramme, Camp Hancock was desig-
mated as a fort, with half of the troops
as garrison. Captain Chase, third
United States cavalry. commanded the
fort. He was opposed by the other half
of the troops under the command of
Captain John F. Miller, of the Phoe-
nix light infantry Of Dayton, Ohio.
Captain MIXERS army was supposed
to be on the march, his scouts, who
came across the fort. bringing him
word of it's proximity. He Immediately
sends out a line of skirmishers to feel
the enemy's strength and position.
These and several larger bodies of
Captain Miller's army were repulsed,
when he finally orders up his entire
force and attacks the fort. Captain
Chase sallies forth with his entire
command, both armies form in lines of
battle and general engagement
opens. in which after numerous
charges and counter charges, the gar
rison is driven into the fort and finally
captured. The firing by the artillery
and infantry was very like battle,
while the charges of the United States
cavalry were very thrilling and real
istic. No accidents of any consequence
were noted.
Governor Stone and his staff re-
viewed the dress parade this evening.
With him were Governor Richards and
staff of Wyoming and Adjutant-Gen-
eral Meany, of New Jersey.
Governor Richards and his staff ar
rived from Wyoming this morning and

the governor of New Jersey. Great
preparations are being made for the
reception of Secretary of War Lamont
and his party, who will arrive from
the west in a special car on Saturday.
A salute of 81 guns will be fired upon
the arrival of the chief of the war de-
partment at the camp and an escort
of United States regulars and militia
under command of Major Keyes. of
jefferson barracks, commandant of
Camp Hancock, will be provided.

COAL STRIKES.
Some Startling Figures in Relation
to Them.

Springfield, H., July Advance
sheets of the forthcoming coal report
for the year 1894 issued by the state
bureau of labor statistics are out.
This section deals with the investiga-
tionS by the bureau of the great coal
miners strike of last year. The re-
turns embrace statistics of 25,207 en-
ployees of coal companies working at
216 mines and operated or managed
by 209 companies or owners.
VoluninouS tabulations accompany
the report to show in detail the facts
which were gathered for the preser-
walton of statistics of the strike. The
recapitulations of these tables show
that the 25,207 men who participated
lost an average of 724 days. Taking into
consideration the condition of the
commercial business of the country
and other reasons for anticipating pro-
bable loss of time if the men had gone
out, the secretary estimates the net
loss of time to the men at an average
of 395 days and he assumes that 50
represent fairly the average daily
wages the men were receiving. His
conclusion is that the aggregate net
loss of wages to the strikers was ST.
695, $40, which is an average of 1920
to each man.
Other tables present detailed statis-
tics which show that only 12.6 per
cent. of the strikers were enabled to
resume work at an average of wages,
or under changed conditions Of en-
ployment which could be presumed"
to be to their advantage. The report
shows that 13,42S resumed work upon
the same terms they worked under
previous to the strike and $500 sub
mitted to reduced wages as the con-
dition to unemployment. making STA
per cent. whose condition was not
benefited by striking. In other
words 25,200 men lost more than ST..

San Francisco, July 4.-People who
expected to see a great celebration of
the national holiday in this city to-
day were not disappointed. On the
other hand, they were surprised at
the magnitude and excellence of the
programme. Beginning at sunrise with
the booming cannon at the Preside,
the air resounded throughout the day
and evening with the explosion of
giant fire crackers. and the .sputter-
ing of rockets. The parade, which took
place in the morning, was the greatest
event of It's kind that ever was seen
in this city. Two hours and a quarter
were required for the procession to
pass a given point. The display Of
fireworks in the evening was inter
fered with TO some extent by a, dense
fog, but the exhibition was, neyerthe-

FARMING on TWO AcREs.

land They have a neat little cottage.
and the hard times have not affected
them nearly as much as many a family
cer,-ident upon shop work. Mr.. Segling
IS carpenter by trade. and before open
ing up his little farm, he built his house
at odd times, while working at his
trade. From the first he has recognized
the necessity of securing quality rather
than quantity from his labor and land
If he would make it pay. Celery is his
speciality, and he has marketed as much
as $1,000 stalks in a season. He prac-
tees a rotation. which includes grass,
usually having nearly enough to keep
one horse in hay. He understands the
secret of getting two crops in one wear
from the same soil. and his only him
drance has been lack of rain. Now,
however, he has bought a boiler and
steam pump and expects to control his
water supply. Such pluck and energy
ought to receive the VictOr'S wreath.
Whatever else he lacks he is not taxed
for a quantity of useless territory, and
wastes no time and strength in travers-
ing poor and large fields. He sometimes
uses as much as SeVenty-five loads OF
stable manure on half an acre. There is
a valuable lesson in this for most farm
erS who have too much land, use too lit
tie manure, and crop at an excessive
cost per ton or bushel as a consequence.

New York, July A special to the
Herald from Rio de Janeiro says that
the government is endeavoring to dis
suade the Italian minister from leav-

claim. Immense crowds have viewed
the remains of eX-President Prixoto
The requiem mass in honor of the dead
Admiral da Cana, which was finally
allowed to take place, was largely at
tended.
The government refuses to discuss
the trouble with the French in Amapa,
and has established a strict censorship
over all news from there.
At a secret session of the Argentine
congress it was voted to purchase from
Italy the sister warship iaribaidi
which was recently launched.

A correspondent in Suere, Bolivia,

there have demanded that the govern

Sacramento, Cal, July AVIAN Kov-

held to answer before the superior
court for the murder of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. L. Webber, after an examination
lasting two days. The last witness ex-
amined was Kovalev, himself, and he
did not tell very plausible or con-
nected story of his wanderings about
New Years Day, though he claimed to
be in San Francisco on the night the
Webbers were murdered. 1t is gener-
ally considered that strong chain OF
evidence has been forged about him.
