INDOOR MILIT RF CARNIVAL.
The Great Intern afionat Contest VIII
Open at Chicago To- MorroW.
CHICAGO, ILL. May Salt is in
readiness for the opening on Monday
evening of the great international in
door military carnival at the Coliseum.
The mem bers of the various com mittees
to-day ms pected the arena bicycle track
and other features of the interior. The
United States regulars and members OF
the Illinois and Wisconsin National
Guard, who are camped in the grounds
adjoining the Coliseum, are doing some
hard training. The entries require them
10 carry ali their equipment in the sprlnts
ana runs, and The training, as we'll as the
events proper, therefore, takes on the
form of trials of endurance as we'll as of
speed.
Discns-throwing has been decided upon
as feature of the championship pro-
gramme. This is novel event in this
country, taking its origin with American
competitors in the Olymp pic games. At
Athens Captain Garrett of Princeton car
ried off the prize, although he had never
seen discus until he had landed on Gre
clan soil.
1t is thought probable that in the
meet OF next week some of the results
may eclipse the tabled records Of the
ancients.

Railroad Companies to Protect Ne,U
Orleans against Future Floods.
NEW ORLEANS, La. May 8.-The Illi-
nois Central and Texas and Pacific rail-
roads united to-day in a levee offer to
New Orleans and the New Orleans levee
board that will probably be accepted, thus
insuring the city against all future floods.
The roads agree to build Ievee along the
upper front of New Orleans, seven or eight
miles long and six feet above the highest
water ever known in the Mississippi. The
work will cost $500 000 and the railroads
agree not only to build the levee, but to
MAINTAIN it. In return for this the city
is to allow the railroads to build and
operate as belt line double track on top
of the levee. The proposition will prob
ably be agreed 20 by the City Council. as
it will put an end to ali scares about high
water.

TO ERECT AN IRISH PALACE.
BIO Fair to Be Held in New York CITY
BY Sons and Daughters of the
Emerald Isle.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May s.-A great
Irish fair will be given at the Grand Gem
trail Palace beginning Monday, the pro-
ceeos to go toward The erection of an Irish
palace building to cost at least quarter
of million dollars. The building is de-
signed to shelter all Irish Am erican or
gan!zations under one roof.
1t is proposed through this fair to heal
all the differences that have from time to
time arisen among Irish Americans,
churchmen and laymen, soldiers and
civilians, Catholics and Protestants.
This scheme is due to the ingenuity of
Colonel James Moran of the Irish VoIun-
teers, an independent regiment organized
year and half ago under the auspices
of the Gamma Gael, the physical force"
faction in Irish politics.
This regiment "cut in" on the Sixty
ninth Regiment of the National Guard
which has always been an Irish organiza
ton. This action embittered the friends
of the Sixty ninth. who have not accorded
the plans of the Irish Volunteers the
heartiest support.
1t may be expected, therefore, that the
success and brllliancy of the coming fair
will depend largely on those Irishmen
who stend for the ideas represented by
the old Fenian spirit. A board of trus-
tSeS has UtSu SSleCleu 10 udUule me
funds, among the trustees being Recorder
Golf, ex-Mayor Grant, General James R.
OBrien, ex-Judge Browne and Colonel
William L. Brown.
The fair will be largely under the direc-
ton OF the women represen ling the thirty
two counties of Ireland. The ladies iden.
tilted with the fair have been connected
with the advancement of the volunteers
since their organization.
Their presence in the management is
taken as an evidence that large part of
the funds derived by the fair will be used
to erect fine armory for the volunteers,
the other features, such as lecture-rooms
ETC., being incidental to the military util-
ity OF the proposed palace.
Among the exhibits the most interest
ing will be veritable piece Of the Barney
stone, i'm ported for the purpose, and the
real sword of Brian Boru. Great enthu-
slasm has been shown in the preparatory
work, and Irishmen throug hout the
country will watch with int rest this eff
fort to crystalize Irish sentiment in
Greater New York.

Mojor Darling May BE Sent to More
Important Post Than Brussels.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.-The re-
fusal of the President to detail Nj jor John
A. Darling, Third Artillery, Preside, OF
San Francisco, as military attache at
Brussels has caused a good deal OF gossip
in army circles here, as this refusal is ex-
pected to have an important bearing on
the question of social precedence at the
Preside.
The Army and Navy Register says: An
officer will be detailed for this duty
shortly. The posts at London and Paris
were under consideration this week.
General Alger is in favor of having our
army represented at the different coun-
tries abroad that are advanced in the
science of war. He will not only fill all
vacancies, but also increase the mum Der.
The m ilitary information division, he be-
lieves, should not be so cramped as it has
been, but should be given every oppor-
tunity to secure the valuable information
which can only be obtained by our having
a representative.

let at ChicngO.
CHICAGO, Ill, May 8-Financial cir
cles were startled to-day blythe news that
c. K. Beach. the capitalist, had shot him
self. The only possible reason to be as
signed for the deed is that for some time
past Beach has been in poor health. He
has not complained about reverses in his
affairs. He had poor constitution and a
melancholy disposition. He would re-
main in a morbid state of dependency for
days, and whenever his friends would try
and get him in cheerful humor he would
leave them abruptly and absolutely refuse
their good offices.
Some years ago Beach was a power in
finance, but because of his poor health he
retired from an active partIcipa ton in the
moneyed circles. He is reputed 10 be verv
wealthy, but no one knows definitely just
what he is worth. He was very secretive
man alb ut mis- property, and did business
through many agents.

WASHINGTON, Feb 18.-The Pa-
puoncan members of the ways and
means committee took an irnnortan nt
step today in their work on the nov,
tarlr bill by deciding to restore tba
Alnley rates on coal and coke. These
oles were 70 cents per ton of % bush
els on b1tuminous and shale, and 30
cents on coal slack such as will PASS
through half inch screen. The pres
ent rates are 40 and Is cents. Coke ia
advanced from Is to 20 Der cent ad
Vaiorem. The changes were made I'm
response to a general demand from tha
coal interests, whose representatives
declared that the Wilson rates had in
creased Canadian competition so great
~ that the American mine owners had
oeen obliged to reduce wages to keep
the field
The first conferences Of the week
nave dealt with the tobacco schedule
ana although no final agreement has
been reached there Is a practical un-
derstanding that the new bill will re-
turn to the Mckinley rates on tobacco
except on the grade known as filler.
The rate on this will be 70 cents a
pound, double the Mckinley duty.
which was 35 cents. 1t was represented
by the tobacco manufacturers thar
most OF the tobacco imported from
Cuba as filler was used for Wrappings
and that this evasion Of the law gave
the Key West factories an advantage
over those using Sumatra tobacco. The
Mchfnley duties on wrapper tobacco
were 81 per pound on steamed and s2.75
on unsteamed. On snuff the rate was
0O cents, on cigars and cigarettes 81
and 70 per cent ad valorem, and on
tobacco not enumerated 40 cents.
The committee will devote most of
this week to the schedule Of sundries.
which includes buttons, explosives,
matches, musical instruments, furs,
jeWelry. gloves and miscellaneous man
ufactures and on most of these the
Mckinley rates will be restored.

DER FREISCHUTZ AGAIN.
Will BE Repeated, But Not On a
Week Night.

The st. Paul Mozart club held their
regular monthly meeting at their
rooms in Mozart hall last night The
report Of the recent production of
Der Freischutz' showed that the af-
fair had been a great financial sue
cess. The club has received numerous
requests for a repetition of the opera
on some week night, and intended to
repeat 1t, as announced in the G O b e
Thursday, Feb. 25 at Mozart hall, but
owing to their inability to secure the
services Of Mr.. DauZ and his orchestra.
they have been obliged to change their
plans and will repeat the opera instead
on Sunday evening, Feb. %. The club
has been unable to secure the services
Of the Danz full orchestra on any
night other than q Sunday, hence they
are obliged to apparently neglect the
wishes Of number Of their friends.
Popular prices will prevail at the next
performances and the club has decided
to have no reserved seats. The date Of
the Minneapolis performance has not
yet been set, but a guarantee Of $500
has been offered by the Harmonic So
ciety, of MINNEAPOLIS, for a perform
ance of the opera for the benefit Of the
society. The proposition was last night
accepted by the St paul Mozart club.
Martin Giesens Charles Bloesser, H.
Hillman, George Yeager and Adam
Heck are the committee appointed last
night to look after the performances Of
the club and instructed to advertise
literally in the st. Paul daily papers.
