A BATTLE ROYAL
Being Fought Today Between the Gold and Silver Men of
 Cook County.

CHICAGO, H., May 25.-The Dem ocratic primaries being held today to select delegates tothe Cook coun- ty convention are in the nature of 8 battle royal between the silver and gold wings of the party, though in reality the bone of contention is not the 16 to 1 issue, but the question of the control Of the Cook county organization. The party machinery, wheels, gearing and all, is under the domination of the silver men to such an extent that the honest money Democrats, under the leadership of Senator John M. Palmer, General Black and others, entertain a grow ing fear that they will stand little show in the approaching State con- vention unless they can speedily land few body blows on the silver ties. With this end in view they have already proceeded to build up new State organization to offset the schemes of Altgeld, Henrichsen and the silver element. The proposition to ignore today's primaries and pre- pare to put a separate State ticket in the field with Gen. John B. Black as tLe candidate for Governor is growing in favor among the gold standard men and formal declara- ton of war against the Cook county managers is looked for.

ton has become rife as to the course Pope Leo's representative will take with regard to accepting the invita- ton to witness tomorrOwss eere- monies. Under the laws of the Roman Catholic Church the Papal legate must not attend any religious service but that of his own church, d cause of embarrassment to Mgr. Agliardi, the nuncio at Vienna now here on behalf of the Pope. At the coronation of the late CZar the Papal ambassadors cleveIly overcome the difficulty by timing his arrival in Moscow an hour after the ceremonies were concluded and joined the other dignitaries in congratulating the Emperor and Empress at the state banquet immediately following the coronation. There are nearly one thousand deputies, members of royalty, ambassadors and other dignitaries in the city who by reason of their station of official capacity are entitled to witness the coronation. But as the seating capacity of the two tribunes erected for the accomm odation of specta- tors in the comparatively small cathedral is limited to five hundred, it is evident many are doomed to be disappointed. Through the ener- getie efforts of Minister Breckinridge and General McCook many Ameri- cans are to be allowed to pass in the sacred edifice, while their less fortunate fellow visitors Of other mathematics will for the most part be obliged to keep tab on the pro- gress of the ceremonies by the In- termittant booming of cannon and changing of bells on the outside. Besides Minister and Mrs. Breckin- ridge and General and Mrs McCook, the coronation will probably be witnessed by Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago, Admiral Seliridge, Commander Rogers and Secretary Pierce of the American legation.

WE'RE THE SUBJECT OF A
 CONSULTATION.
He Didn't Like Elm, But Obeyed Instructions from the State Department to Con
 form to Court
 Etiquette.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 23.-Mr. Breckinridge's appearance in uni form during the coronation cere- monies yesterday in Moscow, which had caused somecomment, while not perhaps involuntary, it is learned, was at least brought about by q proper sense of deference to the strict requirements of the Russian court ceremonials. 1t is required that persons appearing in court on such occasion shall wear the uni- form of their diplomatic corps, and if there is nosuch distinctive uniform, that they shall wear a black evening coat, with metal buttons, white vest, knee brooches and silk stock ings.
 Mir. Breckinridge was early advised of this requirement. and consulted the State department as to his course in the matter. It was evident that if the Minister was to attend the ceremonies at all, he must comply with this requirement. or else make an issue that it would not be in good taste to raise at such time, so he was permitted to wear this style of garment, which, after all, is as near the garb in which Franklin made his appearance in the brilliant courts of Europe as modern practices will per nit.

HoT SPRINGS, May 23.-Mayor W. ". Waters, of this city, stabbed and killed Harry Martin tonight in street fight, the latter dying instant ly
 The killing was the result of a bitter feelings which has existed between Mayor Waters and the drumming element in the city to which Martin belonged. The difficulty was pre- cipitated by a dispute over a fine against Martin for violation of the drumming ordinance.
 It appears that the latter has been abusing Mayor Waters publicly about the city for the past few days, charging violation of his promises to the hotel and doctor drummers if elected to the mayorality. In order to get the support of that element, Martin stated that Mayor Waters pledged himself to be lenient in his dealings with it. Waters denies that he made such promises and since his election has waged bitter and unrelenting war against the drumming element.
 Tonight, as Waters passed up the street, Martin followed him, and re- newed the quarrel. When they reached a point on the street about n block from Waters's house, Martin assaulted him.
 Waters jerked his knife out and stabbed him in the throat several times, severing the iuglar vein.
 Mayor Waters immediately sur rendered himself to the Sheriff and is now in the custody of the officers. He is at Sheriff Houpt's residence where many citizens have called to see him.
 The killing occurred a. the junction of Central and Wilmington avenues. in front of J l.. Bryan's Gocery store. One Of the clerks in the store tried to separate the men, and himself received one or two slashes with 8 knife.

Capt. Killeen. superintendent of
the Diamond 10 line, has made trip
recently along the river towns as far
south as keokuk, where he inspected
the recalling of the steamers Pitts
burg and st. Paul. Capt. Killeen
was interviewed regarding the boats
and the ops ming of the season. Capt.
killeen said that the only thing neces-
sary for the opening of the Diamond
10 sea ION was better stage Of wa
ter in the river. All steamers he
stated are in better condition that
the fleet has ever been before and
could commence running ut a days
| notice would the water in
the channel allow The draught
OF the Diamond 10 boats, Mr..
Killeen stated. is a light a. that of
any craft on the river when they are
not loaded with freight, bat as it is
out of the question to run them for
pleasure entirely. it is necessary to
have a revenue from the traffic
which would exceed the expenses.
The running expenses Of the palatia
st. Paul are about $500 day. and
from the freight traffic this is to be
met and the profits made are such
that it would be more profitable to
tie to the bank. The reason that
boats like the Verne Swain and the
w. j. Young eau make money in the
business now. Capt. Killeen says, is
because they take on cargo OF
freight at one port one day discharg'
ing it at another port and returning
with another cargo, thus making
each load pay expenses.

MINUS HIS CLOTHES.
A Third Avenue Barber is Depriv. ed of the Usual Habiliments
 That all Men Wear.

Yes he took everything. That is every thing in sight and would have taken more if the opportunity had been offered On Saturday last barber R. E. Price bought a new outfit in the way of clothing. He put on all that becomes a man. Last night while engaged in the peaceful pursuits of his business, he lost his newly gotten goods. Mir. Price sleeps in the rear of his barber shop and has never dreamed that anyone would dare to pass through the front and seize upon his goods and chattels.' But the bold one did pass and did seize. He took coat, vest, pants. shirt, shoes, socks, nee tie, etc., etc. Mir Price would know those clothes anywhere, and patr ol- man Charles Vance says he is onto them too. Under the circumstances the covetous varlet had better not dress up for sometime to come.
