pathy, and expressing keen regret at
Mr.. Cleveland's death.
The president then returned to the
reception room where the body had

Raid Mexican Town, Terror.
ize People and Thor
Oughly Loot II
Have Brush With Troops
and Many Killed on
Both Sides

City Of Mexico, June 2E. Wild stor-
les concerning a. formidable and seri-
Gus. revolutionary outbreak IN the
northern part of Mexico were wholly
discredited today by telegraphic re-
ports received from Governor Car
denas of the state Of Coahuila. Ac-
cording to these adyices, one of the
boldest bandit raids ever attempted
in the history Of Mexico was success
fully carried out when the town Of
Las Vacas was assaulted and looted
yesterday.
The bandits, numbering fifty, came
upon the town. A feeble resistance
was made by the police, but after
three of them were killed and three
more wounded, the marauders prac-
tically had things their own way.
They first proceeded to the jail, re-
leasing all the inmates The bandits
next headed for the bank Of Nueva
Leon, overpoWered the employees, rob
bed the bank of all the money they
could get. They then looted the gov
eminent stamp Office and robbed the
express office.
After imprisoning the municipal
officers, the band got word that troops
we're on their way to the scene. They
then prepared to flee.
This morning they left, passing by
the way Of Hacienda Hernos and the
town Of Matamaros de Laguna. AT
this place they encountered the first
detachment of troops. A lively fight
ensued in which one trooper was
killed and several wounded. The sol
diers captured part of the band, but
the rest escaped.
Another Version.
Ell Paso, Tex, June rs. "A special
dispatch says band OF Mexican rev
olutionists attacked the town Of Las
|Vacas, Mexico, early today, and some
of the reyolutionists are believed to
have crossed into Texas. About 5000
shots were exchanged. The officers
quarters were burned. and between
forty and fifty we're killed on both
sides. The troops comnlandant was
badly wounded. Another outbreak is
expected. as the revoluutionists have
well armed cavalry. All telegraph
and telephone wires have been cut.

Big Elevator Goes Up in.
Flames at Duluth, Loss
$l,OOO,OO0
n. 2. Dock and Sheds Also
Destroyed Prop.
efty SCOrChed

Duluth, June 26.Over a million.
dollars in property was consumed in
a couple of hours this afternoon on
Rice's Point by fire which RACED
elevator M of the Consolidated Ele-
vator company to the waterside, de.
stroyed No. / dock and sheds Of the
Northern Pacific, and imepriled sur.
rounding property valued at another
million.
The work of a dozen tug boats,
which aided the fire department, is
probably all that saved the bay front
at that point from being entirely
swept away. While the firemen com
batted the flames on the elevator the
tugs kept steady streams on all sur
rounding buildings from slips within
"a radius of two blocks. The flames
shot into the air high above the
structure and, famed by a brisk
breeze, broke across the water and
kept the docks and elevators almost
at the point of ignition.
From 1885, when the fire was dis
covered, until about 4 o'clock, the
elevator was raging furnace, though
after two hours fierce burning the
fire had spent itself and gradually
abated, uutil at O'Clock tonight
when sonly a smould ering wreckage
of valuable property remained.
A small explosion, the origin OF
which is unknown, was quickly fol.
lowed by the bursting of flames
through the roof, and before the de.
partment arrived the structure was a
veritable volcano Besides the fire
men and tugs no one dared to ap
proach closer than a block or two.
Reorganization Of losses is esti-
mated as follows: Total loss, 81,
101, $50. Elevator D, 100000; wheat
377, 900 bushels, $4O3,sso; fax, 227.
900 bushels, $274,67O; barley, 1000
bushels, 1880; Northern Pacific

Commanding General Uneasy
and Has Cartridges for
Sham Battle Examined
Quarter Found to Have Balls
in Them Awful Kill
ing AVerted

Cnfcago, III, June &c dispatcn
to the Tribune, from London, Ont,
says: Examination yesterday of the
ammunition to be used for the sham
battle today by the 5000 volunteers
in camp at Niagara revealed the fact
that one quarter OF the supposedly
blank shells were loaded with ball,
caused by mixing the shipments. The
inspection would not have been made
in the ordinary course of evets, but
Brigadier Hanson of Toronto was
led by a feeling Of unrest and appre-
hension to investigate, thereby pre-
venting what must surely have been
a great loss Of life, as the annual
sham battle is always realistic af-
fair.

er Cleveland's body lies buried to-
night in the Cleveland plot in Prince

simple burial service of the Presby-
terrain church was read and before
1.-The last Of the carriages in the cor
tege had driven up to the path lead
ling to the burial place, the benedic-

bers of sthe family, President Roose-
welt eand others who had gathered
about the grave, were leaving the
cemetery.
| Many of the personal friends of
the dead statesman fingered about
| the spot which was to mark his last
4 resting place and each in turn was
4 permitted to cast a shoyelful Of earth
!, into the grave.
i Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs.
/ Cleveland, the services, both at the
house and at the cemetery, were OF
the simplest character. Invocation,
scriptural reading, a brief prayer and
/ reading Of William WORDSWORTH

house, while the reading of the bur

and impressive.

WHAT DAVIS COST THE SOUTH.

Arkansas might as well know that while Senator Jeff Davis has been cock-crowing it over the State, build ing political fences, the entire South has been made to suffer because of his absence from Washington
 Senator Davis is member of Sen ator Fulton'S committee on war claims. Almost as soon as the senator from Arkansas abSented himself this committee assembled to pass upon the question of allowing payment for Southern churches, schoolhouses and other eleemosynary institutions de- stroyed ny the Federal army. The vote was close, 50 close, in fact, that had Davis been in his seat and voted with the Democrats and those Repub-
 icans inclined 10 be generous and just to the South. every claim of this sort allowed by the court of claims, would have been included in the com mittee's report.
 But Davis was absent The other side thus carried the day, and instead of including all of the church and school claims, the committee reported fayorably on only few of them, these few being where the court of claims had found that the church or school house destroyed had been actually used by the army.
 The difference is most material, as under this decision large number of those institutions will fail to come in under the appropriation measures, un- less the senate report is amended.
 1t is just this sort of thing that should warn the people against sen ators who take more interest in local politics than in the duties of the of ice given them, and if any of the schools and churches of the South are left out of the present appropriation bill, in a very large measure the loss will be due to Senator Davis fond ness for local politics.-Commercial Appeal, March 24.

ENTIRE CITY INTERESTED
 IN YOUNG MAN
Cooper's New Theory Attracts Widespread
 Attention During Stay in Cincinnati.

An adequate idea of the intense in. terest which has been aroused by young MT. Cooper during the past year with his theories and medicines is given in the following article which appeared in the Cincinnati Post while Cooper was introducing his ideas to the people of that city. The article says: The beginning of Mir. Cooper's second week in Cincinnati gives every indication that he Is to enjoy the same astonishing success here as in other cities.
 From the first day of his visit the crowds that call to see him have stead. lily increased. until now it has reached a point where several thousand talk with him each day. The entire city seems to have become interested in his theory that the human stomach is degenerate, and he already has an army of followers in Cincinnati who seem positive that his claims are cor. rect.
 "A number Of Cincinnatians were Interviewed at Cooper's headquarters on Friday, and several interesting statements. showing their intense faith in Cooper's preparations, were secured. The following are selected from these statements and are characteristic of them all: Mrs. M. D. Emerson Of $50 West Court street, said: T have suf- fered with stomach trouble and con- stipation for year or so.

The election held in our city on March 18th, must say was the quitest we have witnessed here for several years. There was not anyone under the influence of liquor or seen drink ing. Must say that liquor was left out in our city on election for one time. It was perfectly safe for our ladies 10 be out without hearing any profanity or seeing any misconduct. We, the citizens of Geo twin, are cer- tainly proud of this day. and we can't 5agn to tell how it is appreciated
 Hoping our elections hereafter will be the same as we witness today, we are sincerely, A FRIEND.
