greater portion-were many articles Of gold.

Barring the portion OF the treasure which
could be easily carried on the person, little OF
this store of wealth left the city in the pos

narrow causeway IN front filed with water a

fastened about themselves belts which became
source OF death instead OF supposed enjoy

through the midst of a thoroughly angered
populace. one OF Cortez's problems was how to
get the treasure out Many OF the common
soldiers had had their shares turned into chains
collars other ornaments which could be car
ried easily. The Kings fifth, Cortez's share and
much Of the booty of his cavaliers had been
converted into bars and wedges. Strong horses
and a guard Of Castilian soldiers provided

Blows Up Twenty Men.
Trade Report.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Tra1e>says: ,.-s- u
Interruptions Of industrial progress
by the holiday, labor conflicts and in
clement weather again produced a
somewhat unsatisfactory trade situa-
ton. Yet the money market is easy
and accommodation readily obtained
in legitimate business channels. Liza
bilities of mercantile failures are COM
paratively small, indicating that most
concerns have prepared for a quiet
season and are able to Withstand a
period of diminished sales and tardy
payments. This conservative attitude
is the fundamentally strong feature of
the situation, and when business re-
wives there will be no pressure to dis
pose of heavy stocks of undesirable
goods. More manufacturing plants
have reduced hours or wages, and sew
eral strikes have added to the army
of unemployed.
Commercial failures in the United
States were 23O.

Fire Cuts a Big Building.

New Yorkshire destroyed the sew
en- story warehouse of McKesson &
Robbins, wholesale druggists in Ann
street. The fire had been burning a
long time before it was discovered. It
started in the boiler room in the base
ment and had gone up through the
entire seven stories before it reached
the unshuttered windows on the top
floor and was discovered. The build
ing was Quilted and practically every
thing, the firemen say, must have burn
ed before they reached the scene. The
loss will be heavy.

Union soldiers and of numbers of Of
ficers of the United States army and
the G. A. R., the first formal memorial
exercises ever held over the graves in
the Confederate section of Arlington
cemetery took place Sunday. AS a re-

ate dead now have been gathered in
one large and beautiful circle in the
southern part of the cemetery, where
the graves have been marked with
seperate stones.
The exercises were opened with
music by the fifteenth cavalry band,
In spirit of good will and fraternity,
after the exercises over the graves of
the Confederate dead, those in charge
of the services repeated them over the
graves of the 1000 unknown Union
dead and decorated the graves with
flowers. The Rev. Alexander w. Pilser,
pastor of the Southern Presbyterian
chruch in this city and an ex-Confed-
crate soldier, was the orator of the
day.

MONTANA NOTES.

A strike occurred among graduates
of the state agricultural college at

he was being held up by the man now
dead and grabbed up a revolver and
fired, believing he was about to be
killed.

RIOT NEAR WORLDS FAIR
CROWD HAD GATHERED TO SEE
BULL FIGHT.
Governor Ordered the Performances
Stopped-2500 Men and Boys Un-
able to Get Their Money Blackstone
Fired the Grandstand-Sheriffs After
Mob-Fire Engine Stuck in Mud.

st. Louis, June 6.-Incensed over
their failure to see genuine Spanish
bull fight" which the authorities had
ordered stopped, riot was started in
an arena near the worlds fair grounds
this evening by crowd of $500 men
and boys who were unable to get their
money back and the building was
burned to the ground. The price of ad-
mission charged was one dollar. Four
men were placed under arrest by the
authorities of st. Louis county, charg-
ed with the destruction of property. The
crowd, thinking these men were con-
nected with the show, made an at
tempt to mob them and in their en-
counter with the deputy sheriffs num-
Der were roughly handled and some re-
ceived serious injuries. The building
is said to have cost $1,000. 1t is total
loss,' with no insurance.
Governor Had Forbidden It.
The initial performance by the COM
pany of Spanish bull fighters had been
advertised widely, but the governor, in
response to numerous complaints, Or
dered that it be. not allowed to take
place. Despite these orders a large
crowd assembled in the arena at the
advertised time of opening. Before
the regular performance a number of
cowboys drove in some bulls which
they ran around the arena in true wild
west style. The crowd soon became
tired of this and called for the bull
fight. The announcement was then
made that the bull fight would be pro-
ceeded with AS the matadors came
into the ring county official stepped
up to the announcer and handed him a
paper informing him that the proposed
show could not take place. When this
became known to the crowd they leap
ed into the arena and demanded the
return of their their money.
Woodwork Set on Fire.
Failing to get this, the crowd went
to the Office. which was located in a
small building outside the area, and
began to stone the structure. This was
followed by attempts to burn the arena,
which is an immense building con-
structed of pine. Bits of burning paper
were thrown at the woodwork and
finally some one went inside and drop
ped lighted match in a pile of hay
under the arena. The whole structure
was soon afire and before long was in
flames.
The fire engine that responded to the
alarm stuck in the mud and there was
nothing to stop the progress of the
flames. The fire department of the
worlds fair was called out to protect
the fair buildings should it become
other direction.
