COUNTRY'S SINE FOURTH
T7centy-One Fe1cer Killed Reported
in Country at Large.
by Telegraph to The Tribune J

Chicago. July j--MOre rigid laws and the
growth of public sentiment for sane celebra-
ton of the Fourth have had their result all over
the country in reducing the number Of killed
and wounded in the annual holiday
Full returns Of the twO-day celebration this
year show falling off in the number Of killed
of twenty-one from the record of 1898
There were twenty-five fatalities reported at
midnight tonight against fifty six at the
same time last year
Chicago and it's suburbs gave strong evidence
of the progress which has been made In stopping
the slaughter. The staggering statistics of
twelve dead and ia injured a year ago were
revOIutonjzed Not single death had been
reported at midnight, and the total number OF
injured less than thirty. OF the accidents
only half dozen serious and it was esti-
mated the fatalities would not by any chance be
more than two. It was the quietest, sanest
Fourth Chicago has had.

Portland, Me. July 5.-Mistaking the promls-

reached a height sufficient to make the triple
jumps possible approximately five thousand
feet.
Corcoran had barely left the ground before
promscuous firing of revOlvers began, but Pro-
fessor I.aroux called out to Corcoran to keep on
up. Above a few hundred feet it is said to be
hard for an aeronaut to judge correctly his
exact height as he swings on the bar, and So
when Corcoran heard a second fusillade of shots
il is believed he was certain the signal had come
for him to cut loose in the parachute, for he
was seen to drop from the balloon although he
was barely five hundred feet in the air
The distance was too short for the parachute
to open properly, and the man dropped IKE

a proposed monument t. the late Thomas b
Reed. about one thousand feet from where the
ascension was made,
Corcoran was still alive when he was picked
up, but he died in a short time. He leaves

The White House Concerts Restored

BY the terms of an order issued today
from the Office of Col. Cosby, superfn-
tendent of public buildings and grounds,
the Washington public will not be de-
priyed of the traditional White House
concerts on Saturdays in summer, al
though for the present the programs will
not be given within the immediate
grounds. of the building, but nearby at
the Sherman statue. Thus they will be
within easy reach of those who are not
equipped with vehicles. being just con-
venient in point of access as in the past.
This concession to the public petition
against removing the Saturday concerts
TO the drive does not involve any change
of the general program to hold concerts
at the latter point on Tuesdays and Sat-
urdays. the Marine Band performing on
the former day and the Cavalry and Ar
tillery bands alternating on Saturdays.
For this change in the order the people
Of Washington are grateful to- the Presi-
dent and those who have been concerned
in bringing about an amendment to the
original project. The transfer Of the Sat-
the drive would have deprived a large
number of people Of the opportunity to
listen to good music in pleasant surround
inss which has become traditional The
new order is particularly gratifying. in
asmuch as there is an intimation that
later in the season the Marine Band will
perform on Saturday within the White
House grounds themselves, possibly after
the Presidents departure for Massachu-
sets.

Illinois and Primary Instructions.

The Philadelphia Ledger. in some obser-
vations on the senatorial result in Illi-
nois, says:
THE plan of selecting candidates for
the Senate at a primary election has not
prospered anywhere; its most conspicuous
failure has been in Illinois 1t was sup
posed that the people would by this means
take this important matter out of the
hands of the bosses and politicians. The
result in Illinois is the election of a boss
politician OF an obnoxious Chicago type"
On the contrary. the plan of instructing
legislatures in the matter Of a sena atorship
has prospered widely. Some OF the ablest
men now serving In the Senate were Sc
lected in that way.
The Illinois case. instead of being an
argument against, 10 an argument for in
structions The difiiculty at Springfield
was that the plan Of instructions had not
been sufdictently definite. The law per-
mits primary votes Of an advisory char
acter upon candidates for the senatorship
within the ranks of each party. and
under this three republicans offered for
tile ofice, Senator Hopkins receiving q
plurality, but falling 70 obtain the votes
of a majority of the rspublicans Of the
state. The law does not specify that the
yssults Of tbs vote areto b given weight
