Edward Insley, In Harper's Weekly.
Perhaps nine-tenths of the Americans
who are coming to Paris this year were at
Chicago in 1893, and their first impulse will
be to institute comparisons-which is COM
mendable for its patriotism, at least. 1t
is we'll TO reflect at such a time, however,
that the first impressions at Chicago were
not uniformly Of a pleasing order. This
applies to most of those who went to Jack
son Park by railroad or street-car, and ar
rived at the unsightly back door of the
fair. Nothing like an impressive entrance
was attempted by the architects excepting
on the lake side, and fortunate was he
whose first glimpse of tn White City was
from the lake.
Looking back on 1t now, as l saw Ii first
on summers evening from the water
side. with it's lights and cleaning palaces,
it seemed fairy land, dream city by the
waves. l have never seen anything that
remotely suggested its marvellous beauty
except the illumination of the North river
and harbor at New York during the Dewey
celebration. BY day the view from the
lake was hardly less inspiring. 1t was like
discovering a veritable Atlantis. Landing
at the Water Gate, it's simple perfection
scarcely preparing us for the burst of
beauty from the Court of Honor within,
that unrivaled production of artistic ge-
MUS, peerless to this day among the arti-
fetal delights upon which the most fa-
vored eye has feasted, we found this in
scription: THE wilderness and the soli-
tary place shall be glad for them"

WILL KEEP CLARK OUT.
The Senate Has the VIII and VIII
Find the Way.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Indignation I'm
the Senate over the coup of Mr. Clark. of
Montana, increases rather than abates. 1t
is freely predicted by senators of all parties
that he will not be seated under the Gre
dentials of appointment by Acting Cover
nor Spriggs. 1t will be easy enough to pre-
vent him from being sworn in His Gre
dentials can be referred to the committee
on privileges and elections, and the COM
mittee can inquire into the circumstances
surrounding his appointment, just as II did
into his election by the Montana Legisla-
ture. When he finished his statement last
Tuesday by announcing his resignation he
won the sympathy of nearly every senator
Many of them went up to him and shook
him by the hand in a somewhat emotional
manner Now they feel that they were
made the victims of trick and no man
relishes being made dupe. In the Senate
as elsewhere. where there's a will there's
a way. and the Senate now has the will to
keep Mr.. Clark outside the breastworks
and the way will not be lacking

BOXERS ON WARPATH
SERIOUS ANTI-FOREIGN MOVEMENT
NEAR PAO-TING-FU, CHINA.
Native Christians Wan
tonly Murdered, Some of Whom
Were Burned Alive.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Picking corre-
spondent of the Times says: 1.-The anti-for-
eign movement. headed by the Boxers,
has attained alarming proportions. There
has been a serious anti-Christian outbreak
near Pao-Ting-Fu. province of Pe-Chi-Li,
Seventy-three native Christians were MUIR
dered, including women and children. Many
were burned alive. The Catholic mission
aries report that the persecution is the most
serious known for years. The danger is
increased by the apathy connivance Of
the government
M Pavloff (Russian minister to Korea)
has informed the Korean government that
Masampo will be the winter headquarters
of the Russian fleet His action is in close
analogy with the Russian proceedings prior
to the occupation of Port Arthur. On
March 80 two agreements were signed be-
tween NJ. Pavloff and the Korean govern
ment. BY the former Korea granted a site
for coal depot and naval hospital. By
the latter Russia renounced her purpose to
acquire land on the mainland opposite
MaSampo harbor.'

BARKER CALLS ON M'KINLEY.
Afterwards He Tells a Reporter Bryan
Cannot Be Elected.

WASHINGTON, May I7.-Mr. Wharton
Barker, the nominee for President of the
Cincinnati convention Of the Middle-of-the-
road Populists, called on President Nc
Kinley to-day to pay his respects. These
gentlemen have known each other ever
since the latter entered public life Later
on Mr.. Barker said to n reporter that his
nomination at Cincinnati makes the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan by the Democrats i'm
possible. "In the last presidential cleo
tion," he said, Mr.. Bryan received about
6.500.O00 OF this number at least 100000
were Populists. This year will get 1900 OO0
or possibly 10000 of that number This
will cut Bryans vote TO 100000 or less
Where is he going to get the other votes
necessary TO elect him? 1t is estimated
that Mr.. Mckinley received 100000 votes
from the Democratic ranks four years ago.
These will not go to Bryan this year to
make up his loss of Populist votes. If
German or some other Eastern man had
been nominated by the Democrats this
year he would carry New York, New Jer-
sey, Maryland and Delaware In the East
not to count doubtful States elsewhere
The fight this year will not be made on
the money question. Transportation, ex-
pansion and other live subjects will make
I'D the issues.

when the United States Senate committee

In this city. The Governor desired to con-
suit the attorney general as to the form
in which he will put protest that he will
wire to the Senate tomorrow against the
acceptance of the credentials of Mr. Clark
on the appointment of Lieutenant Governor
Spriggs.
Governor Smith will base his protest on
the ground that the appointment is WITH
ated because of fraud. He will allege that
the resignation of Clark was written in
April. and that the date that 1t now bears
May IL. was the result of the erasure of
the original date. which. it will be alleged
can be easily proved by examination of
the document
HE will also allege that the resignation
was in the possession of Charles A. Clark
son of the senator, for several weeks
and that the resignation of Senator Clark
at the time he did resign and his ap-
pointment by Lieutenant Governor spriggs
was part of a plot TO insure his appoint

carrying out the plot, II will be added
Misrepresentation and other devious

ASK ALL TO STRIKE

Next Saturday.
APPEAL TO FELLOW-CITIzENS
STATEMENT OF THE STRIKERS SIDE
OF THE PRESENT TROUBLE.
severe Criticism Of the Company
Observation-Disclosures Fruitless Effort
to Reach an Agreement.

ST. LOUIS, May 17.-At a mass meeting
of street-car employees tonight at West
and Coliseum a resolution was adopted
calling on all labor unions and sympa-
thizers to quit work after next Saturday,
in support of the street-car mems strike
and unionism, and circular was ad-
dressed to the public giving history of
the strike A meeting of labor unions prob
ably will be held tomorrow night to pass
on the question of a general strike. The
circular is headed, IAN Appeal to Our Eel
low-citizens," and is follows:
1--WE, the street-railway employees Of the
city of st. Louis, in mass meeting assem-
bled, do hereby present to you our case,
and appeal to you for your assistance and
aid. On the sth day of this month we were
forced to strike in defense of our rights as
American citizens. On the 10th day of last
March we had reached an agreement with
the st. Louis Transit Company under
which we hoped to live in harmony with
them. The ink was scarcely dry on that
AGREEMENT WucH tlcy bc6di W bICdh H.
We bore all the violations of this agree
ment and lived in hopes that, through our
committees, we would be enabled to reach
a harmonious understanding. but from day
to day conditions grew worse.
Our members were discharged upon
every pretext and on the most trivial
charges that could be found, while the nom
union men were encouraged. no matter
how grave an offense they committed, and
they were not even reprimanded. On the
contrary, they were encouraged and sent
to our members who were suspended, tell
ing them to denounce the union and they
would have them reinstated. and that they
would have the good will of the company.
1t did not stop at this. but opposition or
ganization was formed and encouraged by
the understrappers of the company for the
purpose of disrupting and destroying our
union.
while this work going on the off,
GERS of the company were violating our
agreement in regard to the ten-hour work
day, for, instead of giving that as agreed,
they arranged the schedules and time
tables to make them obnoxious pos
sible, and when we protested against this
the bosses jeeringly remarked. That's the
work of your union In many cases our
men only made so cents a day, and had to
report twice a day to do that

ALBANY, n. Y, May 17.-Attorney Gen.
eral Davies to-day listened to arguments
of counsel on the application Of William
r. Hearst, of New York city, to restrain
the American Ice Company from doing
business in this State. The proceedings
are taken under the laws of 1899, which
say that no stock corporation shall COM
bine with any other corporation or persons
for the unlawful restraint of trade or for
the creation of a monopoly. 1t is charged
that the American Ice Company has COM
bined with one ice company after another
in New York city until the trade Is en-
tirely in its control, and ii has thus re-
strained trade because its extraordinary
docking privileges prevent any other cor
poration or person from engaging in the
business at a profit. No decision was
reached

line of medical examination. Finally a
compromise was struck and it was decided
that each council should select three med
