chasing power Of the wages of labor be
reduced one-half and our nation be set

panios. Are Forced TO the waiI-The
Collapse of Big Speculative Deal.
CHICAGO, Aug 4.-The speculative deal
IN Diamond Match and New York Biscuit
stocks has come TO an end The Moore
Bros. have failed. The greatest spocula-
ticn ever known In Chicago has culmi-
mated in the failure of the people who
were hohind tho deal. Asa result the Chi
cago stock exchange will adjourn for an
Indefinite period. This action was de
ciGod upon at Meeting held yesterday
ovoning at which were present the mem
hois of the Stock exchange governing

capitalists This meeting wns assembled
informally nftor tho onnnounoamont which
was made by James II. Monros that mar-
Gin calls no longer could be met That an
nouneomont was mauo 10 a few OF tho
mon most heavily interested, and it was
thought best TO call a meeting to discuss
tho situation. Tlpie who assembled dis
cussed tho best means for restoring onnh-
donco after tho shock which would be
given to speculative circles by the an
nouncement of the failure.
ltYns the genurG opinion that itwould
be the visest posslblo move TO close the

wore maac that nearly tho entiro busi-
ness mt the Stock exchange for weeks has

would Interfere only in the slightest dc.

that the present was particularly oppor-
trno time
So far as the banks are concerned, they
nre Indifferent personally as TO whether
the exchange should be closed or not. Tho
stocks hold by them are marginod to a
point which leaves them secure In any
event.
Tho speculative deal Of which tho fail
uro is the elimination is by oil odds tho
most important in the history Of Chicago
stock exchange affairs. IL began enrly in
this year. Tho stock OF the Diamond

in the history Of tho exchange. A strong

No resident of Havre de Grace exhibited
more patriotism in the display of fireworks on
the Fourth than did a native of the Celestial
Kingdom, Fun Laon, who runs a Chinese
laundry at the corner of Congress and Wash
ington streets. Fun, without probably know
ing the cause of such demonstration, had
provided himself with an immense supply of
fireworks direct from the pigtail country.
About O'Clock, his Honor the Mayor of the
city, sent up in smoke valuable display on
the opposite corner from Fun's location. Fun
was not to be outdone by even the Mayor of
the city, and Immediately began his demon
stration, seeming well satisfied that, if it could
not surpass in beauty that of the Mayor, it
| would in unearthly noises. All went well I'M
til his masterpiece was produced. This piece
was 20 feet long and consisted of thousands of
| tirecrackers OF all sorts and sizes. This, he
| started Off, and 1t continued for several min
utes. About the time the smoke cleared
| away Officer Welsh appeared and notified Fun
| he must stop his celebration.
This very much chagrined him, because he
| was not near through, but little dismayed, he
appealed to the Mayor for his Fourth of July
| rights, and was permitted to proceed. With
| renewed energy he continued the demonstra
ton for an hour, during which time strings Of
ire-crackers were thrown high, keeping the
air full OF the spluttering, in which he was as
sisted by about so boys, who enjoyed the fur
