RIOT|NC IN PARIS
STRIKERS ERECT BARRlcADEs
AND OPPOSE TROOPS.
MAY DAY BRINGS TROUBLE
borers, Agitators, Anarchists, Rev
olutionists and Roughs.

Paris.-The long dreaded May Day
failed TO bring the revolution which
infiammatory journals predicted, but
none the less it brought scenes Of ex-
treme violence. The labor districts,
which thousands of troops controlled
with difficulty, and even central por
tions of Paris have taken on the ap-
pearance of siege, with regiments of
infantry and cavalry camped about the
Arc de Triomphe, the bourse the Bank
of France and the great railway sta
tion, while military sentinels paced be-
fore banks and private establishments.
The main thoroughfares in the resi-
Dental portion of Paris remain tran
quill.
In the west end, far removed from
riotous scenes, people were disposed
to treat the events in the labor quar-
ters as harmless effervescence. 1t was,
however, much more than that.
Throughout the afternoon dragons.
Republican guards and cuirassiers
charged disorderly masses, sweeping
the Place De La Republique and the
broad Boulevard De Magenta.
Toward nightfall cavalry charged
with drawn swords, and many persons
wounded on both sides. The
manifestants overturned omn1buses
and threw up hasty barricades. Over
1000 arrests We're made during the
day.
AT no time did the demonstration
reach the magnitude of a revolt, but
was rather leaderless tumult in
which the serious labor element, strug
Cling for a principle, was hopelessly
confused with violent agitators, an
archists, revolutionists, roughs, and a
large number of the curious. The work
men never succeeded in forming pro-
cession or even in assembling more
than scattered bands. Their chief ac-
ton was a reunion of several thous-
ands in the Labor Exchange at which
n resolution was adopted not to return
to work until the eight-hour day shall
have been accorded.
The worst hours of the day were to-
ward o'clock this evening, when the
police practically lost control and were
compelled to rely on the mounted
troops. The latter, forming in lines
twenty yards across and fifteen yards
apart, swept the Place De La Repub.

into the surrounding streets. Most of
the mob sought refuge in the Boule.

Stoves In japan.

Consul Sharp furnishes from Kobe
in response to an inquiry, information
as to the methods used in Japan for
cooking and heating purposes. He
says:
THE fuel in use here is charcoal
wood, coal, coke and kerosene oil. The
Japanese cooking apparatus is of two
kinds-one, the 'schichirin, a small
portable construction of metal or
earthenware, costing from 25 cents to
SIPS, and heated by means of char
coal; the other the 'kamado,' a kind of
stationary furnace, built of brick and
mortar, the price varying from SLIPS
to SO, and burning wood as fuel. The
houses are usually heated by charcoal
braziers costing from so cents to SIS.

DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL.
Plan to Take 1t Out of the Charity
List.

Plan to Take 1t Out of the Charity
Denver.-A movement is on foot to
cake the states school for deaf and
dumb out of the class of eleemosynary
institutions and place it directly un-
der the charge of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction. The
scheme, through the excellence of it's
work, has become one of the impor-
tant educational institutions of Colo
rado and has attracted the attention Of
educators all over the country. 1t is
located at Colorado Springs and is now
under the supervision of the State
Board of Charities and Correction,
which has taken the initiative in
bringing about the transfer, and au-
thorized its legislative committee to
draft the necessary bill.
The school would still receive it's
regular appropriations as now except
other educational institutions of the
state.
Such a result is conditioned upon
the success which the legislative COM
mittee of the State Board of Charities
and Correction has in getting law
authorizing the change through the
next Legislature. Little, if any, oppo-
sition is anticipated to the proposition,
as the work of the school itself is it's
best recommendation for rank as an
educational institution.
Lottie Sullivan, one of the students
there, is regarded as the Helen Keller
of the West.

Thursday afternoon at the Chautau-

the time almost wholly to an argument
for the election of United states sena-
tors by the people
Mr.. Harris deplored the abuse Of the
United States senate. INDUCED in by
some newspapers and magazine writ
ers, and declared that it was not
worthy the American people to listen
with patience to such talk. The sem
ate is composed for the most part of
honorable and able men, but it is too
far removed from the people.
Senators should be elected by direct
vote, he declared, so that they would
feel their responsibility to the people
Who elected them. BY far the largest
crowd of the assembly heard MI

1t was believed that Mr.. Harris
would speak on the railroad questions
in Kansas but he did not. Appar-
entity he carefully avoided mentioning
the Katy suit I'm the supreme court
and the campaign for a 2-cent fare.
At night at Buckley hall reception
was rendered Colonel Harris by the

Interpretation Of New Rate Law
Progresses Slowly.
Traffic Committee VIII Work on
1t Ten Days More.
DEBATABLE POINTS.
lr. Stickney Goes to Washing
ton to Secure Interpretation.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Chicago, July 20-Slow progress is
being made with the Interpretation of
the new interstate law by the traffic
committee and the working out of plans
TO put it in effect on August %. The
committee is meeting every day, how
ever, and hopes within the next week
or ten days to have a general plan
Which it can submit To the legal COM
mittee
In the meantime, President Stickney,
of the Great Western, has gone to
Washington to try to get the inter-
state commerce commission to make
some sort of an interpretatin of the law,
and he has a plan Of his own, prin-
cipally in relation to the posting OF
tariffs, which he hopes the commission
viii accept. His idea is 10 have the
tariffs published in book form, which
shall be hung in public places in the
passenger and freight depots.
Officials VINO have been carefully
studying the new interstate g mmerCe
law think they have run across a snag.
1t relates to the giving of passes The
law says no common carrier shall give
passes or free transportation for passen-
gers except to employees and officers of
the road and their families, and certain
others who are specified in the law. It
specifics, however, that the interchange
of passes for the officers, agents anu
employees of common carriers and their
families shall not be prohibited.
Now there are certain passenger and
freight associations whose employees
have to travel a great deal, and what
the railroad officials want to know IS
whether they may receive passes CT
not
Then too. the law specifies that oil
pipe lines are common carriers. The
Buckeye Pipe Line is owned by the
Standard Oil company. and yet as d
common carrier the railroads may give
its employees passes. 4 practice which
in .he past has aroused much protest
and has been called rebating
