Very Weak Structure.

Lancaster. Pa. Aug. 6.-Information
has reached this city that during the
races at the White Horse track. in SAL
isbury township, the grand stand coll
lapsed, fatally injuring five persons and
seriously injuring two score Of men,
women and children.
The races were of a local character.
There We're fully 5000 present. includ-
ing an unusually large gathering Of
women and children from all sections
of the country. The advent of such a
large crowd was fully anticipated by
those who had the management of the
races in charge. and in order to in
crease the revenue a temporary grand
stand with seating capacity OF 1000,
was erected.
The grand stand was an improvised
affair constructed of pianhlng and
boards. in addition to the tent equipage
of a travelling medicine show that was
in the neighborhood. UnsNled labor
was called into service. and the stand
was put up in less than two hours.
When the gates opened, there was a
great rush for the grand stand, and
when the first heat Of the first race was
called fully 1000 men, women and chill
dren were on the stand. AS the horses
neared the last quarter on the home
stretch those in the grand stand be-
came excited. and amid the stamping
Of feet and shouts of the men the stand
gave way with a deafening crash just
as the winning horse passed under the
wire.

CHILDREN AND The JUBILEE.

Probably nowhere else could there
be such represe tation OF CHILDREN
brought out on such short notice
and with tuch excellent discipline as
was done for the Utah Jubilee cse.
bration, In the cnildren'4 day parade.
All through these valleys, where there
are Sabbath schools under the super.
Vision oil the Dsseret Sunday Scheo
Union, the existence and thorough
discipline OF that organization makes
1t comparatively q light task to bring
out the youth to take pirt in public
denominations; and thus the labors
connected with children's parades are
less ouerous than they would be
otherwise, thou sh of necessity there
still 10 great responsibility aud vast
amount OF work TO attain success In
such displays.
Without the procession formed by
the children on one OF the days of the
Jubilee, tho celebration would have
been devoid OF one VI Its most interest
ing features. Aud yet at one time
there was probability Of that de-
ficiency. In the emergency which
had arisen, the commission applied to
the Deseret Sunday School u MON to
undertake the responsibility OF placing
In limo about 5000 children between
the ages Of seven and fifteen years.
General Superintendent George q
Cannon, on behalf OF the union, re-
Piled that the request should be grant
ed, anu the Sunday school union
board instituted the work, Il
committee consisting of George
Goddard, assistant general superinten-
dent of the union, Thomas q. Griggs,
superintendent OF Sunday schools Tor
Salt Lake Stake aud member Of the
union board, and John M. Whitaker,
general secretary of the union, being
appointed to direc, the affair.
The bringing Into the parade Of
nearly double the number Of childre n
asked for, shows how wei the task
which had been undertaken was ac.
cOmplished, and indicates the perfect
discipline and extensive Influence OF
the Sunday school union and
It's officers. Wherever the ven-
cradle assistant general superinten dent
Of tho union, Brother Goddard, goes
among the children, the latter delight
to be-, and to show their love for
one who has labored 30 long and 30
effectively in the Sunday school cause.
Brother Grlggs also, "a superintendent /
| OF schools IN Salt Lake Stake, has
been an ardent and efficient worker,
| and is held In affectionate esteem by
the children. 1t is due TO the active
and persistent energy OF these ex.
ecutive officials, in general and Stake
capacity respectively, that the chill
dren's day parade was such triumph
They were ably seconded by their
eids In the Sunday school movement;
hence the delightful scene that wab
presented on tho ehildren's day CT the
Jubilee.

DANGER 10 BRITAIN.

The Tendon Progressive Review
has stirred up Great Britain by it's an
nouncement, made in the discussion
OF the Eastern question, that II Ger

favorable to Turkey, "England would
either have to join the Franco Russian
alliance or be efisced from the powers
Of Europe;' and that "if Germany

their own Interests, but of those OF

WAR TALK.

There Is a ripple OF discomfort upon
the diplomatic waters, the cause oil
which IL IL Gated in the Pacific ocean.
Annexation talk regarding Hawaii
long has been n source OF irritation,
but since the inception OF measures by
American representatives looking 10
such q consum nation, the feeling 10
much more pronounced than formerly
The principal opposition to the scheme,
80 far as formal steps are concerned, Is
from Japan, which seems to be taking
the whole matter quite seriously TO
heart and to be engaging ia occasional
side talk intended no doubt to nave
very grave and poteniiai
sound indeed. Some few English
statesmen and papers are also giving
the subjec. attention, but opinion Is go
divided with them that as things
stand nothing Is likely to come OF II;
besides Great Britain is the last power
In the world that should make COM
plant, her own record as an "lsland'
grabber"b being several degreesahend oil
that of any other power and all other
powers combined. Her latest per-
formance OF the kind was the seizure
OF the island OF Palmyra in the south
Pacific, an event which is lust now
engaging the attention Of certain oil
our own diplomats in Washington
and may be formally protested against;
30 that, II the worst comes the worst
the Palmyra affair may DO used as IN
effective offset 80 far as relates TO our
English cousins.
Japan, however, has given us no
particular ground OF tho kind last
spoken Of for complaint, il indeed
any at all. She has large vested
interests In Hawaii, and change
in the ownership OF the Islands
might do more than unsettle her titles
there, 1t might destroy them altogeth-
or. Surely this 10 good enough grou 40
to remonstrate upon IL nothing
more. In addition to this it should
be- borne In mind that there has been
no official threatening or clustering,
all proceedings having been strictly 10
accordance with recognized usage and
with apparent good feeling, while un.
doubtedly the insUlar empire 10 keep
ing her eyes open and her powder dry.
Incidentally and naturally the men.
ton OF war will take place now and
then, but 1t lie uuquestionably the case
that japan has lost no diff cultles with
the United States and there
fore should not be hunting for
them. or course the hurricane
fight precipitated upon China which
swept that almost non-militant power
from Its feet before fairly realizing that
1t was In q war at all, has swollen the
caputs OF some OF the japanese in
high places aud caused them to soy
things which would seem to have n
more fitting place in burlelqus
opera; but the better judgment OF the
rulers Themselves will scarcely permit
them to raise demon which must
prove to be utterly beyond their con-
troi. Japan is q strong nation among
Its own kind; II wise 1t will n OF per-
nit it's prowess TO bo brought to so
severe strain as measuring strength
with one of the foremost natlous OF the

annex Hawaii, rs now appears likely

japan will venture actual interference.
