tennial Parade.
STRIKE OF THE UNION BANDS
Threatened Against the Washington
Crack AggregatiOn-Third
Day of the Festival.

Chicago, Sept. %. The United
States Marine band will fill its en-
gagement at the Auditorium theater
mass meeting on Thursday, according
to the centennial banquet committee,
even if every Chicago musician refuses
to take part i'll the exercises. Organ
lied musicians have taken strong
position against working with enlist
ed men in the United States service
and indications now are that the pa
rade tonight will be accomplished with
out music. That is one view of the
case. Another view is this: The
bands engaged for the centennial IA
rade tonight viii not strike. The horns
will toot and the drums beat, in spite
of the diSapprovalwhich the musicians
have expressed on the subject of the
Marine band" 1t should be under
stood that the Marine band plays only
on one occasional the public meet
ing in the Auditorium Thursday night;
it is net engaged to play in the pa
rade.
Thinks There VIII BE No Trouble.
J. C. Shaffer, who. as chairman Of
the banquet committee, has charge of
the arrangements for the public meet
ing at the Auditorium. declared his be-
lief that there would be no trouble
over the music. "But whether there
is much trouble or not" he said, the
marine band will play at the Auditori-
um Thursday evening. We do not pro-
pose to be dictated to by themuSicians.
We shall stand out for the principle OF
the thing. even if there is no other
music during the jubilee. Furthermore,
we shall hold the bands to the con
tracts they have made"
Entertainment for the Crowds.
The centennial crowds. which are IN
creaSing with every hour, We're enter
tanned by the weird performances and
exciting games of the Indians at Lin
coin park. and later as many as could
get within ear-ShOt listened TO a band
concert on the lake front. The Chica-
go Historical society gave a reception
to several hundreds invited guests at
night. Scalp dances by genuine In
dians fierCely painted and wildly at
tired We're potent attraction enough TO
draw 10000 people to Lincoln park
before IL a. m. and the crowds were
enormously increased during the after
noon. SO far the Indians have been
the chief attraction of the centen-
NAL festival.
Frances Il. willard Hospital.
Not part of the programme of the
festival but adding to interest in CHI
cago at this time of teetOtallers, es-
pecially, the corner stone of the new
Frances +. Willard National Temper
ance hospital on Lincoln street was
laid. the day being the anniversary of
the birth of Miss Willard, in the pres
ence of distinguished company of
temperance advocates and medical
men. Among those who participated
in the ceremonies were Samuel Dickey,
president of Albion college. and John
G. Woolley, late candidate for presi-
dent on the Prohibition ticket. When
completed the building will nave cost
$4,000. In the treatment of cases the
use of alcohol will be prohibited.

Too Many on Small Salary.

100 many ministers are working
for small salaries" he declared. Con.
gresations are too small. The salaries
of the best ministers are too small.
A remedy is the abolition of the small
churches and congregations. Bring
congregations together, unite the
churches, contributions resulting win
enable ministers to be paid better sal
aries, and religion will advance in con-
sequence.

Colorado Republicans
Meet in State Con-
VentiOn.
WOLCOTT VS.. MOFFAT
Serious Purpose of the
Meeting Lost in
the Fight.

Denver. Sept. 29.-The republican
state convention met here today to
nominate candidate for judge of the
supreme court. Greater interest is
taken in the warm contest beirg wag-
ed for control of the party organiza-
tion in this (Denver) county and the
state than in the nomination.
Two delegations from this city and
county were chosen yesterday by con-
ventions representing rival factions,
one being headed by former Senator
Wolcott and the other by David II.
Moffat. The Wolcott people control
the state committee and claim to
have the necessary two-thirds vote to
seat the WOlcott delegation.
May Both be Turned Out
Should they fail to do this the prob
abilities seem to be that admission to
the convention will be denied both
delegations. 1t is possible that two
state conventions may be held. thus
further widening tho breach in the
party caused by the senatorial contest
of last winter.

Sault Ste. Marie, Sept 29,-Thcrc
have been no further disturbances
since last evening in the Canadian
500, but the situation has some ele-
ments which do not promise Il long
continuance of present peaceful con-
ditions. Every saloon in town is wide
open. Most of them are practically
in the Iaboring mems districts and
are being patrunized heavily by the
horde of idle men who composed yes
terday's mob.
Fifteen hundred instead of 400 men,
as reported last night, are at the
Weirs laundering Camp company. IL

and it is this body of men the rail
road has refused to transport to the

dition OF this number - walked in

midnight. and the rest of them are
walking down today.

Addition to Ranks.

Addition to Ranks.
This big accession to the ranks of
the. unemployed iS looked upon as
sure to cause trouble unless the au-
thorities show more vigor in dealing
with the situation than they did yes
terday. Another troublesome feature
is the delay in getting additional
troops here. The grenadiers from
Toronto cannot reach here before late
this afternoon.
This morning the police began plac-
ing under arrest all leaders i'm Yester-
terday's riots. Within an hour seven
of these agitators were behind the
bars of the county jail.
Sault Ste. Marie Mich. Sept. 90
The situation in the Canadian 500,
which has been the scene of serious
rioting by the discharged employees Of
the Consolidated Lake Superior COM
pany, is very grave. No reinforcements
of militia have arrived from the out
side at this writing. and the only de-
fense against the mob, which grows
hourly. is a more or less demOraliZed
police department and a small company
| of militia. An assault upon the Of
fee building by the mob early in the
afternoon, before the arrival on the
ground of troops, was successful. and
mass of frenzied rioters secured
possession of the ground floor of the
building, destroying everything nova
BILE.
Troops Arrive on the Ground.
A force of the office staff. with drawn
revolvers. prevented their gaining ac-
cess to the upper floors of the building.
Every window and door I'm the build
ing is smashed in. The arrival OF
the troops on the grounds, armed with
ball cartridges. about > p. M. served
to restore some semblance of order.
The rioters then contented themselves
with throwing stones at the building
and hurting invectives at the soldiers,
who established a ''dead-line" and pre-
vented anX approach toward the build
ing by any of the rioters. The great
est number of the mob are of ignorant
Italians. Firms. NOrwegianS and
Frenchmen. the latter perhaps the
hardest of all TO handle.
Demand for Food Is Agreed To.
All have been drinking more or less,
although the bars finally Obeyed the
order to close up. The mob is one
that cannot be reasoned with, and the
man they seem most anxious to get
at is COyne, the assistant manager,
who in the absence of Shields is in
charge of the works. Coyne has
discreetly kept out of sight. Late in
the afternoon the leaders of the mob
held a conference and demanded that
the company house the men in their
hoteland boarding hOuseand, feed them

Failure Record 1902.
Regarded as on the Whole a'Favor'

Shows an Increase Oyer
Record of 1901.

In spite Of some short crop short
ages, added to record breaking
strikes and reduced foreign trade,
Bradetreet reports that the failure
record for the past year is on the
whole a favorable ooe. In only one
section, tue South, was there an in.
crease of Casualties over the record
OF 1901, and in only two, the South
and Central West, was there an IN
creasee of liabilities.
During the year there were re-
ported 9,971 commercial failures,
with liabilities of S105, 593,623, and
assets Of $50, S7O,800, a decrease in
number OF failures of 5,5 and Z per
cent. as shown, but comparisons with
prior years are markedly in favor o.
1902. In liabilities an even better
showing is made, those tor 1902 be-
ing the smallest reported for twenty
years. While the proportion of as
sets was 48 per cent in 1902. agains'
46.9 in 1901 and 47.2 in 1900, it ii
lower than iu any preceding yea
