LUCY PARSONS IRArE.
Led from the Stage During Wild
Harangue in Chicago.

Led from the stage During Wild
Harangue in Chicago.
While Lucy Parsons was approaching
West Twelfth Street Turner Hall, Chi
cago, where the ninth annual commemor-
alton of the anniversary of the hanging
Of the anarchists was held Wednesday
night, she was led from the stage by
Capt. Wheeler of the Maxwell street po-
lice alton. She had just been calling
Gary, Grinncll, and Oglesby murderers
when she felt Capt. Wheeler's strong
grasp. Pulling away from him she was
just about to continue, but was pushed
forcibly from the stage and later took
seat in the audience. The large crowd
present was enraged at the interruption
of the police, and with cries of For
ward!' started to make a move toward
the stage, but no one wanted to take the
initiative and the excitement soon sub
sided. l.. Oliver. of haywood, was the
first speaker on the program. He eulog-;
lied the dead anarchists, Parsons, Spies.
Engel, and Fischer Herr Most, the
terror of New York. was to have spoken
next, but his train mad been delayed, and
Mrs. Parsons effort was welcomed to
Ill the gap. Most arrived about IL
O'Clock and spoke until midnight, but
was unusually moderate in his utterances.
Many plain-clothes detectives were in the
hall. constantly on the alert, but With the
exception of the Parsons incident no
great excitement was aroused.

Trade Awakens.

Out-of-town merchants were in Chicago
Tuesday to take part in the big meeting
of their association. and they kept Sec
rotary C. s. Tomlinson of the National
Association of Merchants and Travellers
and representative from both the Cen
trail and the Western Passenger Associa-
tons busy taking care of their transpor-
tation wants, SO that they can devote all
their time to finishing up fall buying be-
fore the opening of the session at 4:30
Among the wholesale houses the effect
of such large number of out-of-town
buyers was plainly visible. In many of
the most important branches the forces of
statesmen had more than their hands full
with the crowds of hurrying purchasers.
This was particularly true of dry goods,
boots and shoes, and the dealers in holt
day goods. Clothing merchants also en-
joyed a better business than they had
seen in over a year, and the number of
hardware dealers present bore testimony
to the fact that Chicago's popularity as
hardware jobbing center is rapidly in
creasing. The special rates given by the
railroads have proved so profitable to
them that lines which do not usually
count on much merchandise business out
of Chicago show a disposition to make
trial of the matter.

West Monroe street. Chicago. and q hnan-
cial loss 10 the Board Of Education OF
more than $4,000. Forty thousand dol
lars of this amount represents the value
OF the mechanical equipment destroyed
by the flames. $4,000 Is the estimated
worth Of the building that was changed
TO smoking heap and $4,000 more Will
be required to cover the loss inflicted by
water on the school supplies stored In an
adjacent building. The supplies are fully
insured, and the workshops and machin-
cry were protected by policies Of 5000
and $1,000 respectively. There was no
insurance on the building. An over
heated flue Is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the conhagration, together
with an abundance of dry lumber used
in the carpenter shop, which was stacked
close by the chimney.

HE Message VIII Recommend the Re-
tircmsut Of Legal Tenders.
A Washington correspondent says:
President Cleveland Is considering the
financial portions Of his annual message
TO Congress-. He has been In consulta-
ton with Secretary Carlisle and Posi-
master General Wilson regarding the
prospective revenues and expenses of the
Government. as well as the reforms that
are necessary to the present monetary
system, and his last annual message TO
Congress will discuss these matters In
detail. The President will. as hereto
fore. recommend the retirement of the
legal tender notes of the Government, so
as to take the Government ont of the
banking business and make II impossible
for spectators to drain the treasury of
gold by means of an endless chain of
,greenbacks and Shermah notes, which
must be reissued as fast, as they are re-
deemed. In order to avoid any contrac-
ton of the currency it Is part of the
administration plan TO have this redemp-
tion of legal tenders accompanied by
amendments to the banking laws, so as
to enable the banks to issue larger vol
ume of currency which they will be COM
PEELED TO redeem in gold on demand.
Whether the President will make any
recommendations regarding increased
revenues is uncertain, but he will thor
oughly discuss the revenue situation and
will doubtless take occasion TO point out
that the principal reason for the failure
of the present tariff law to produce suifi-
cient revenue Is that 1t has been in ope-
ration during a period of great business
depression, when the country was under
the constant threat of deprecated cur

Lord Salisbury announced in his speech
at the Mansion House in London Mon
day night that the dispute between Great
Britain and the United States over the
Venezuelan boundary had virtually been
settled in terms which the United States,
through Secretary Olney, insisted upon,
the whole question to be referred to un-
restricted arbitration. The only copdj-
ton attached Is the one proposed by Sec
rotary Olney that the title of the bona
fide settlers to their present holdings, in
case the arbtrator's award places them
in the jurisdiction of Venezuela, shall be
decided by the laws governing private
titles. The British law provides among
other things that the title to land which
has been unassailed for twenty-one years
cannot be invalidated. Venezuela, in 9TH
er words, would be debarred from confis-
eating property in any territory she may
acquire under the arbitration. Lord Sal
isbury says England can accomplish moth
ing for the Armenians by isolated action,
but he holds out hope for European con-

Mrs. Cattle L. Free.

Monday night an order for the release
from Norwood Scrubs prison of Mrs.
Castle, the wealthy American woman
convicted of shoplifting. Her husband
will go with her to America as soon as
she Is able to travel. The pressure
brought to bear upon the Government to
secure Mrs. Castles release has been of
astonishing weight and influence. Both
home and foreign Offices received scores
Of messages daily from England and the
United States beseeching immediate ac-
ton. Popular sympathy in England is
entirely in her favor, and there were no
criticisms when her release was an
nounced.

INDIAN SERVICE ESTIMATES.
Department Calls for an Appropria-
ton of $7,29O,OOO.


The estimates for the entire Indian ser
vice for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1897, to be submitted to Congress at the
opening of the session, call for an appre-
priation of 1920, 900 in round numbers.
This is 100000 more than the appropria-
ton for the current fiscal year. The IN
crease is due TO the policy of the govern
ment adopted at the last session of Con-
gress to gradually abolish contract In-
dian schools and place all Indian schools
absolutely under government control.
One-half of the number of Indian pupils
are now attending contract schools, but
all are required to be in regular govern
ment schools within twelve months from
the end of the present fiscal year. The
additional expenditure is further necessi-
tated by the increase of 1000 pupils a
year, as estimated by the Indian bureau.
OF the total estimates the detailed items
of expenses for the support of schools
and for the fulfllment of treaty stipula-
tons with various tribes make up So

than Is Not Scaworthy.
The inquiry which is proceeding at the
New York navy yard behind closed doors
into the circumstances under which the
Texas sank at her dock recently. 1t Is re-
ported at Washington, has brought to
light further startling structural weak
ness in the ship. 1t was noted with sur
prise that the tclegraphic reports of the
sinking of the Texas showed one engine
room filed through the water-tight doors
closing it off from the adjoining engine
ROOM This LED TO investigation. and it
has been found that the bulkheads sep
arating the ship into supposed water
tight compartments are so light they
spring under the pressure of water, and
cause great leaks. Although the maya
zine is separated from the engine-rooms
by a continuous bulkhead without a door
opening. it was soon filled by the water
which ran around the edges and through
the seams of the metal. A naval expert
IS authority for the statement that If the
Texas sea valve had broken as il did
out at sea the vessel would surely have
foundered, owing to the failure of the
bulkheads and doors.
