The Demands of the French Government ~ ‘Will Be Not Modified, Bven at the Re- quest of England— Agreement Entered Into by Salisbury and Waddington— Bentiment in Europe—General Foreign News. Panis, July 22.— Prince Vadhana, the Siam - e Minister to France, to-day bad an inter- View with M. De Ville, the Foreign Minister, and asked that an eXtension of time be granted to Siam in which to make formal reply to the demands made upon her in the M. De Ville informed Prince Vadhana that the time granted tothe Siamese Government for the purpose of replying to the ultimatum was the utmost Umm that France would concede. A reply must be given in the time specified, and if Biam did not accede to the demands France would take steps to enforce them as stated in the ultimatam. ~ The Paris newspapers profess to regard the Marquis of Dufferin’s return as an admission that the French Government was not re- sponsible for the attacks made on him by the press in connection with the Cocarde for- geries. The Delligerent attitude of the French gunboat anchored before Bangkox 18 approved by the Paris editors on the ground that the recent conduct of the Siamese has Warned them to be ontheir guard against a sudden attack from the palace. Itis hoped, however, that the necessity for such threatening performances will soon Gisa ppear and the long continuation of them might lead to regrettable incidents. Rear Admiral Humann, the newspapers say, will recall the gunboat outside the bar in case the ultimatum be rejected, asthe river at Bang- Kok is too shallow to allow the Forfait and Triomphant to enter. The French commanders fear the simoon will delay and imperil the gunboats which havo been Called to Siamese waters from the Cochin China station. The exact amount ofthe indemnity demanded by France from Siam is not Known. It is said the original demand of 3,000,000 francs has been abated to 2,500,000 or less. * CANNOT BB MODIFIED. Lorpow, July 22.—The Times’ Paris corre- spondent says M. De Ville, even if desirous ofdoing 80, after seeing the Marquis of Duf- ferin, cannot modify his demands on Siam before the forty-eight hours allowed for Siam to qnswer have expired. Then, how- ever, h action will be fixed. This makes it egsier to express amiable opinions on the Marquis“ return, the obvious result of which will be thatthe appointment of M. De Crais, formerly Ambassador to Austria, as Ambassador to England will be gazetted forthwith. A FORMER AGREEMENT. New Tonk, July 22.—A London dispatch states that the Marquis of Salisbury three years ago made an agreement with M. Wad- Gington, French Ambassador in London, by which India should occupy the Shan States, between Burmah and the northeast frontier of Siam, although claimed by Siam, while France was to have all the left bank of the Mekong. If this is so, the question as affecting Kugland will resolve itself into a delimita- tion of frontiers by a boundary commission. That France. expected such a position of English and French territory is shown by an important article in the Paris Temps, whieh declares that the theory of **buffer’’ States has had its day, as is proved by the mixing of English ana French possessions in Asia, Africa, Oceanica America. Engiand herself has been the first to destroy ‘‘buffer’’ States, and a committee on frontier is better calculated to preserve peace than the existence of butter“ States, ‘which generally are mere fields for the in- trigues of over-zealous functionaries. SOUTH ARERICAN TROUBLES. Marea, Nicaragua, July 22.—Hope for the settlement ofthe trouble in Nicaragua without bloodshed has been abandoned. Zavala’s overtures for peace were @newered to-day by the revolutionists in a way that could not be misunderstood. The steamers seized by the insurgens of Leon to. Gay bombarded Materno where the Govern- ment troops are encamped. Their fire was | returned and two steamers were struck by shells from Government battery. Reinforce. ments are now marching to Materno and Gen. Aviiez will to-day the field operations. It is reported that ident Ezeta of Sal- vador has discovered a conspiracy against him.

The train is said to be a freight and the victims of the disaster are said to be persons who were beating their way eastward. NO ANIMOSITY. — — wee But There Was an Inexplicable Variance Between the Bids. At the meeting of the Buildiag Committee of the School Board, held last night, mr. James Ruane was a spectator, and a letter signed by him, and setting forth the allega- tion shat the committee was showing favor- itism in letting the painting contracts, was read by Chairman Brockman. The letter Stated that Mr. Ruane had been the lowest bidder on sixteen different schools out of fifty-two he had furnished estimates upon and that despite the fact that he was entitled to the contracts as the lowest bidder he received only five contracts, netting him only $276. The author of the letter was eager to know if the Ruane firm was the victim of the spleen of a hostile member of the committee, inferring that Director Rutledge was the member who opposed him. The letter was passed around and when Mr. Rutledge read it he Became visibiy af TWO MORIGO DOWN The Recent Panic Denver Being Du- plicated at lilwaukee. — THE MILWAUKEE sa AND SOUTH SIDE SAVING FAIL.

Claimant Newby’s Fate Now Rests With tions, good investments, but not now avail- the Jury. able, was the cause of the suspension, At noon the situationin bank circles had not materially changed except that the crowds at several of the banks had tncreased in consequence of the spread of the news that the South Side Savings Bank and Mil- waukee National Bank had failed. The run an the Merchants’ Exchange Bank is proba- bly the , héaviest, but the crowd at the Second Ward Bank is nearly as large. The Merchants’ Exchange Bank is paying out money freely, and its officers are confident that they will be able to meet every demand. The depositors in the Second Ward Bank are mainly German workingmen who geem to have become anic stricken, despite the tact that the bank s backed by Milwaukee’s wealthy brewers, who have given a personal guarantee for everything the bank contains. The air ig full of rumors of failures and impending fallures in mercantile circles, but up to noon no sus- pensions had occurred, President Trumpf of the South Side Savings Bank says depositors had been making very large withdrawals during the past month, while collections have been small and de- posits light. The officials and directors de- cided that they could not do business long under the circumstances and con- cluded that in the interests of their patrons and themselves it would be better to suspend without further delay. While they hope tobe able to resume after the storm has blown over, they are not able to state anything definite. The trouble which has culminated in the suspension of the bank was the inevitable result of the present de- ggg and uneasy condition of financial af.- airs. The closing of the Milwaukee National Bank wasa surprise even to someof the stockholders. J. „ Pereles, who owns a block of the bank’s stock, said there is no reason why bank should have closed except officers were afraid to stand a run. A state- ment made a few days ago showed that the bank had assets in excess of the labilities amounting to between $500,000 and , 000, People who were not posted could not be- lieve that the bank, which was one ot the oldest in the city, had failed and scores of people walked into the entrance, read the notice announcing the Dank suspension and walked out again. The run on the Merchants’ Exchange Bank is sudsiding, in consequence of the posting of A guarantee signed by Charles ister, the Vogels, John slack, Julius Goll and other wealthy stockholders. A repetition of the uarantee made at the timeof the Plankinton ank failure by — Pabst and the other brewers will doubtless be made at the Second Ward Savings Bank. The crisis will doubtless be passed in un. waukee to-day, as to-day’s failures have cleared the air of all menace for some time to come. $21,240.18; bills of other banks, 51211; frac- tional paper currency, nickels aid cents, $125.81; specie, $82,700; legal tende notes, $58,000; redemption fund with Unitd States Trersurer (5 per cent circulation), $4600; due from United States Treasurer, other than 6 per cent redemption funds, $3,000; tetal, $1,- 965,385.76.

The court sent the jury out to lunch in charge of an officer with instructions to return at 1:30 to receive the charge of the court. The gen- eral impression is that the jury will acquit the defendant, although it is not expected that an agreement will be reached at once. The defendant was in court all forenoon and listened to the arguments with marked interest. He wore his usual Grand army sult adorned with a Grand Army button. Mrs. Newby,his avowed wife,sat beside him. Before court opened the defendant perused a morning paper, He seemed to read with some difficulty, his head moving back and forth with each line. He wore a pair of spectacles, possibly to give him a more ven- erable appearance. Mr. Creighton of Fairfield addressed the jury for the defense to-day by going over substantially the same ground covered by the 140 witnesfes for the defense, against the Government’s thirty-one witnesses, and asked the jury which they would believe. He could not explain how it was that the defendant became identified with the person known as Daniel Benton. There had evidently been a resemDiance and de- fendant had probably adopted the name during his long period of mental darkness at the suggestion of some one who had mis- taken him for Benton. How could the numerous scars and the wound on the head be explained away if this was not Bill Newby? Mr. Creighton closed witha pathetic ap- Deal to the jury in behalf of Newby’s aged mother, now blind and feeble from almost a century of life. As this aged woman was helped on the train on her way back home the last thing she sald was: Lell them I gave my boy to the Govern- ment when they needed him, and now they ought to give bim back to me. The argument for the prosecution was closed by Senator Shutt, United States Dis- trict Attoruey. He sala that when defend- ant first applied for a pension he stated his age as 49; that was the age of Dan Benton, but in his supplemental ap- plication he claims to be 66, which was the age of Newby. He ridiculed the idea of in- sanity and said that defendant was simply a wily fraud. He regarded the evidence of Bill Newby's death at shiloh as conclusive, °. ATTACHED BY THE MINERS.

Record of Bank Failures Since the First Day of the Year. | WASHINGTON, July 22.—In addition to the heavy failure ofthe government depository at Louisville, three other failures of national banks were reported to Oomptroller Eckels this morning, the faflures occurring in sec- tions widely apert. The failed banks are: The State National Bank of Vernon, Tex. , capital $100,000; the First National Bank of Vernon, Tex., capital $80,000, and the State National Bank of Knoxville, Tenn., capital $100,000. All these banks are small institu- tions, the deposits in each being in the neighborhood of $100,000. Gov. Coroer, connected with the National Bank of Commerce of Denver, had an inter- view with Comptroller Eckels this morning as to the bank resuming business. While not assured, it is probaDie that arrangements may be perfected by which the bank can pee in a short time. Stace Jan. 1 nearly 200 national banks have closed their doors aceainst less than fifty dur- ing the same period last year. Of the fall - ures this yearfive have been United States depositories as follows: The Frst National Gank of Little Rock, Ark. ; the Gate City National Bank of Atlanta, Ga. ; the People’s By nal Bank of Denver, Lolo. ; the German FiConai Bank of Denver, the Kentucky National Bank of Louisville. This latter bank, which closed its doors to-day. had by me last report received here $330,000 of Unite’ States funds. The Government, however, will not lose any- thing by these fallures as each national Dank that is a Government .depository has to deposit United States bonds to the amount of Government money it is allowed to carry. These bonds,in case of the failure of the bank, are sold for the account of the Government, and as United States bonds are at a premium aifmficulty in realizing. This afternoon Comp- troller Eckels ordered Dank examiners to take charge of the falled banks as follows: Escott, at Louisville, Ky.; Plumber, at Knoxville, Tenn.; Sawyer, at Russell, Kan. ; Stone, at Vernon, Tex., and I ynch, at Mil- waukee, Wis. CARPENTERS TO STRIKE. They Will au Uniess Contractors Live Up te the Union Scale. The District Council of the Carperiters’ Union is prepared to call to account any boss who tries totake advantage of the slack times and induce their men to work for less than the union scale of wages. Yesterday sixteen carpenters in the employ of Con- tractor Charles B. McCormick were called off their jobs at seven houses which he is en- gaged in erecting. The walking delegates of the District Council claim that he forced a 2% er cent reduction per hour below the scale. nless‘*t he ys the regular rate, the minimum of which is 40 cents per hour, all the other tradesmen in his employ affiliated with the American Federation of Labor through the local Tfades and Labor Union will be called offof his work, The carpen- ters expect to Dring him to time to-day.

But Juror Herman EZillenbach Insisted That the State Should Supply His Medicines and the Deputy sheriff Would Not Have It That Way—The Defendants Hope to Prove Alibis— The Testimony. The Criminal Court was crowded this morning before 10 o’clock, the interest in the Brown murder trial increasing. Judge Edmunds entered court about 10:08. The prisoners were broughtin and seemed very unconcerned. McConnell’s mother and father occupied seats just back of the prisoner’s dock, and when McConnell was brought in his mother, who is quite a young and very fine looking woman, asked him how he felt. Oh, very well,“ replied the prisoner. Well, we will try to have you home to dinner to-morrow,’’ replied his father, who all through the trial has sat directly back of the prisoners. Kaiser’s mother and sister occupied seats inside the rail, back of Mr. and Mrs. McUon- nell. Kaiser’s mother is a lame woman, past middie age. Both herself and her daughter’s eyes were red fromcrying and both looked worn out. Henze’s sister, mother and brother watched every move that Lawyers McDonald and Zachritz made and seemed to think that the prosecuting lawyers were re- sponsible for all their trouble. The brothers of the murdered stoekman oc- cupied seats near the lawyers for the prose- cution and signified their convictions by the glances cast atithe prisoners. THE CASE LAID OVER. Just as the Court announced that it was reaay to proceed with the trial one of the jurors, Herman Ellenbach, told the Oourt that he was sick. The juror had been com- plaining all morning that he was sick and com plained to the deputy sheriff that it was caused by being fed on vegetables not yet ripe. The jary was excused for a few min- utes and Dr. Priest sent for. After an ex- amination Dr. Priest gave it as his opinion that the juror was too nervous to listen to the testimony; and by consent of both sides the case was continued until Monday. Ellen- bach asked the Sheriff this morning to pro- cure him some medicine worth l0 cents. The Sheriff waited a few minutes and asked for the 10 cents. The juror refused to give it, saying thatthe State should paythe dime. The jury and deputy then got into a deadlock over a question of principle, and the result is that for 10 cents the case lays ovar. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON’S TESTIMONY. The testimony for the State at yesterday afternoon/s session of court was mainly cor- roborative of the testimony given in the morning and the day previous. Fannie Adams, the keeper ofan immoral resort, tes~ tified to hearing one of the inmates of the house say that Henze had told Essie Davis that he had killed Brown for the $200 and not forthewatch. Judge Krum objected to this as hearsay evidence and it was ruled out. This testimony, however, with other show- ing how the Boghines woman ide Ried the men, may be admitted in rebuttal of the testimon to be offered by the State. The testimony of Detective Gocking and others was ruled out on the grounds of hear. say evidence. The State then rested its case. The defense 8 the plan ot proving an alibi for each of the prisoners. enze’s case was taken up first. An inmate of a house on Elm street swore thatshe was out riding with Henze from 8o’clock to9:30 and that he left her and went to Rothchild’s saloon. 8 The bar-keeper testifled that he was there at 9:80 or thereabouts and again at 9:7. George Dasu man of Hotson-Fitts fame was ut on dy the defense and stated he was on the car which was passing by Niedringhaus’ place; he saw Brown stag- ering and saw no one near him, see the colored woman. He heard the dead man say, They struck me with brass knuckles. Dashman was put on thestand to show that Ann Boghines was not there. His testimony as regards what Brown said was corroborative of what the Boghines woman says he said, The court then ad- journed until to-day at 10 o’clock. The defense expect to prove that McCon- nell and Kaiser were at Club saloon, corner Easton avenue and Fran- for the night.

But along Clover Gap and up Rattlesnake Creek there are numberless reptiles. Beckie Parker is a good girl, about 19 years of age, strong, healthy- looking and handsome, but with a very determined face. She is a splen- did rifie shot and is often seen with her Win- chester. She goes after ginseng barefooted and often alone. The roots are gathered’ in May and September, and during the month just past she didathriving business. One day, how- ever, she came across a den of rattlesnakes. She had only stones and sticks with which to fight the desperate battle, Some of the snakes were larger than a man's arm, anda few of them as large as the calfota man's leg. For hours she fought them as they hissed and writhed and rattied aroud her. But the brave, determined girl battled with them until she exterminated every one that did not succeed in hiding among the crevices of rocks and in the dense underbrush. When she had crushed the last one to be seen she 8 the dead, and there were just sixty- ree, County Excursions.

But They Will Endeavor to Protect Them- selves From Being Oharged With con- tempt of Court—May Follow the Letter but Evade the Spirit of Judge Stein's Kuling—News and Goss p. WORLp’S Fam Grounps, CMA, July 22. —President Higinbotham, the Director-Gen- of the Department of Admissions unite to- day in saying that there will be no open Fair to-morrow, and they affect indifference to- wards the injunction issued by Judge Stein restraining the directors of the Fair from closing the gateson Sunday. The attorneys forthe Exposition have not gone into court to obtain a modification of the court’s man- date, and Mr. Clingman, in whose name the proceedings have been conducted, refuses to recede from his original position. But the responsible officers of the Fair do not care to take any risk of being punished for contempt of court or have any trouble with the Sheriff of Cook County. ‘The legal status of the case will be thoroughly considered at a meeting of the Council of Ad- ministration to-day and the exact course of action for to-morrow determined upon, It is the sentiment of the officials ‘to follow the letter of the law as laid down by Judge Stein, but evade the spirit of it. To do this a few of the gates will probably be open, and any - one who wants to pay 50 cents to see a shut- up show will be allowed to do 80. But officially and practically the Exposition will be closed to-morrow and every other Sunday until the end of October. The restraining order of the court is not taken to apply to the departmental buildings, which will be closed by order of the Director-Gen- eral, who has full charge over them. The people back of Mr. Clingman, however, talk of obtainingan extension of the injunction sO as to prevent the closing of the big build- ings. Butthe exhibitors have prepared to cover their displays to-morrow and the attendance of visitors willbe small indeed when they can’t see anything inside the buildings. As far as the Midway Plaisance is concerned it is part of Jackson Park, and consequently embraced in the open order of the court. The conces- sionaires would reap a harvest by getting a Sunday crowd ot patrons, and they are not putting any stumbling blocks in the way of the inqunction. Early next Tuesday fifty-two public school teachers selected by popular vote of the readers of the Pittsburg Times will arrive at the Fair to remain ten days. In the after- noon there will be a reception at the Penn- syivania Bullding, Maj. M. F. Handy making an address of welcome and Dr. W. N. Schae- fer, Supeszintendent of Public Instruction in Pennsylvania, responding. DANCERS DENOUNCED. BosTox, July 22,.—The National Association of Dancing Masters, representing all sections of the country, has been holding its annual convention at Chicago. While visiting the Fair the attention of the delegation were drawn to exhibitions given by dancing girls from foreign countries. These imported dancers by no means favorably impressed the teachers, who feel very much wrought up over the displays, claiming they are low and.tend to bring into disrepute the art of cancing. secretary Woodworth of the asso- clation has therefore written a letter to Pres- ident Higginbotham and the Fair Commis- stoners showing the position taken dy the masters and asking that something be done. He says: : Tus style of movements practiced by the so-called Algerian and other women is something very objectionable to refined taste. Itisa depraved and immoral exhibi- tion. Itisnoother than a slightly modified version of the orgy practiced and known in Spain as the ‘Chica,’ which was carried into that country —4 the Moors tn the eleventh century, and which was finally forbidden by edict to be practiced in any part of Spain. Are we to understand that a thing decreed to be too vicious to be allowed to live in Spain in the eleventh century is good enough for an exhibition in America’s Fair aad in this, the nineteenth century?’’ YAGATGI SINGH MARAJAH.

Depew, in which he talks, among other things, of the financial situation: The absurdity of the present scare from the business standpoint is itustrated by the general condition of the country. It is not a bank failing here and there in congested districts, but it is the conditions as they exist in small as well as large centers of industry everywhere that indicate our situation. The best barometer of business is the railroads. If the people are doing well they travel. If they are not doing well, itis the one enjoyment which, with the least possible sacriffce, they can The movement of our internal commerce. The principal rail- roads of the country showed an increase in both freight and passenger business for June, and also forthe quarter ending June ‘80. Ikmnowthatin our entire system that Was ide rule. The conditions show con- clusively that if the normal conditions of confidence had existed a general business which was so prosperous in pite of finan- Cia] dificuities at financial centers would Dave made the year 1893 one of our best years. he operation of the feeling of distrust and the way in which at such a time adverse things are taken for granted without in- vestigation are unhappily illnstrated in the . COBdition of Denver. A mass-meeting, at Which the Governor of the State is the pMincipal speaker, de- Clares silver mining is the industry on which the prosperity of the State depends; that unless the Government buys silver at from 10 to 25 per cent more than its market Value Colorado cannot affofd to mine it, and that if Colorado stops mining silver she can- not pay her debts, and as a consequence all her business will be stopped and her territory depopulated. It required only a little exam- ination to show the absurdity of this. Colo- rado would be a prosperous State if she had nosiiver. She bas coal, iron, grazing and agricultural lands and opportunities which have scarcely begun to develop. It is dem- onstrated that she can produce silver at a profit and hold her own and meet the general commercial demands which will always exist for the metal. But everybody reads these utterances, and they are sent abroad and accepted as true. The amusing Dut distressing spectacle was presented to the rest of the rest ofthe United States and the whole of Europe taking up whatever they could lay their hands on of their belongings and getting out of Colorado as fast as poss!- bie. The first act in the tragedy is the clos- Ing of the banks and the general paralysis of the State. The banks are undoubtedly solvent, the State is actually prosperous and ite future is as hopeful and safe as it was a year ago, or asit has been at any time in its rope last summer the head of one of the jeading banks in the world, though it has no direct agency bere. He said: ‘We can’t make money any more in Europe. The capitals of the countries are, for banking purposes, next door to each other.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 22.—Turners are still pouring into the city from every quarter and by to-morrow the city will probably have within her boundaries the largest gath- ering ever assembied in the history of the National Turnerbund. Swimming contests are in progress at Rohn’s bathing place, above the dam, this morning. This afternoon the general parade takes place. The stréets along the ‘ine of march are gaily decorated and the display promises to be an imposing one. The pro- cession will consist of fivedivisions The third division, which is composed of active turners, will form at the park and march to Ninth aha Chestnut streets. The other four divisions will be organized at Ninth and Cedar streets. In front of Shirling Park the children of the public schools will form open columns, through which the entire proces- sion will enter the park. From 4to56:30 p. m. the pupils of the public schools, 8,000 in num- ber, under the direction of Turn-teacher Cari Bruck, will go through a variety of cal- isthenic exercises, accompanied by the orchestra.

Immense Damage Already Done and Much More Expected. Concorp, N. H., July 22.—Serious forest Ares are raging in numerous localities in New Hampshire and many ofthem will not be completely extinguished till rain comes. The fire in the Kilkenny forest, a few miles from Lancaster, has already done immense damage. It has extended half way to the summit of Kilkenny Mountain and destroyed all the trestle bridges on the Kilkenny Rall- way.

The danke which failed are going to resume 4 and the metcantile establishments which | went down will come out all richt. All in a * all the fl has deen a good advertise- that silver is not the only The people of this country, who are op- posed to any contractton of the currency, whereby the prices of their products will be décreased and the burden of the debte— national, corporate or individual—they have to bear increased, will commit a grave blunder if they make common cause with the so-called silver States. The interests of these people and the in- terests of the silver producers are not es- sentially identical. The silver producers want legislation which will favor silver and give ita profitable market. The pro- ducers and debt-bearing people want legis- lation which will give them justice in the payment of debts and fair conditions for prosperity. The one wants legislation for silver regardless of consequences to the people, and the other wants legislation for the people regardless of its consequences to silver. The talk of justice to silver as such is the babble of a special interest fighting fora profit. Itisasfoolish for the people to back this special interest fight as it would be to support the demands of a gold bug, who wants the currency contracted for money-making purposes. Whatever may have been the causes of the condition confronting the country it must be dealt with as an existing condition and not from the standpoint of theory. Free silver coinage at a certain ratio cannot be considered as an essential end, but only asa means to an end, and thatend is the maintenance of the prin- ciple of justice and sound public policy. The gold basis and every other currency proposition should be judged solely by this test. The people of the producing sections of the country cannot afford to assume the odium, disadvantage and possible disas- ter of a special interest fight. They should combine to demand of Congress legislation which will conserve all interests without discrimination towards any special in- terest. THE PINCH THAT HURTS. Despite the undoubted hardship and menace to business interests involved in the enormous increase in the rate of mer- chandise taxation for school purposes, there is something gratifying in the squeal it has evoked from the business men of this city. They feel the pinch of public school mismanagement in the citizen’s tenderest spot—the pocketbook. The increase is explained on the excel- lent ground that the interests of the schools absolutely require the additional income in order that the fair demands for accommodations and needful improve- ments may be met. The argument is un- answerable and the citizens must submit with as good grace as possible. But let us look a little deeper into the causes of the present pressing needs of the schools. Why is it that with the large income of the school fund the schools happen to be in such pressing need of accommoda- tions and improvements? The reasons are amply set forth in the files of the Post- DirsPatoH. For years we have called public attention to public school mis- management. We have shown the lack of ordinary business capacity and foresight in the disposal 6f school real estate. We have pointed out that the sacritficial sale of real estate bas deprived the school fund of property which would be a constant sourcé of increasing wealth and revenue. We have exposed jobs innumerable in School Board transactions and contracts. We have uncovered a riot of extravagance and dishonesty. By dint of ceaseless hammering citizens were aroused in some measure to a sense of duty and ed Wmprovement, although not reform, was effected in the reorganization of the School Board at the last election. But better management has not been able to avert the effects of a train of long-continued evils, some of which have not yet been rooted out. These effects, like all consequences of misgovernment, are not confined to one department but are feltin every part of the body politic. If citizens had resented as they should the damage inflicted upon the weighty interests of education they perity depends upon the ready exchange of commodities. But too much stress should not be laid upon one phase of the question. A healthy money system is necessary, but it is not the only nor the principal factor in the problem. And the danger is that vital questions will be forgotten while settling one which is for the moment conspicuous, but not the most important. The most perfect monetary system will not avail against the vicious influence of a revenue System based upon the assumption that wealth can be increased by hindering ex- changes, by interfering with the natural laws of trade. The whole fiscal system in this country is made up of selfishness and exploded errors. It is a compromise between reason and common sense on the one hand and the greedy demands of special interests grown great through the complacency of the Government. We cannot hope for stability and complete confidence until a tborough reform is had which shall include the revenue as well as the monetary systems. Sound money alone will not make the country prosperous. Exchanges, foreign and domestic, must first be liberated from the thousand and one restrictions which now choke them before sound money can do its highest service. TWO KINDS OF PENSIONS. By order of the Secretary of the Interior the name of Charles D. Long has been taken from the pension rolls pend- ing an investigation. Long, who is a Judge of the Michigan Supreme Court, witha salary of §7,000a year, lost an arm and sustained other severe injuries while fighting for his conntry, and is still suffering acutely from the disabilities then incurred. An acknowledgment of some sort is due to such men. The country does owe a debt of gratitude to Judge Long against which no one will urge the smallest objec- tion. Secretary Smith’s course, gaid to be prompted by the fact that Judge Long does not need the pension, is therefore open to criticism if it implies a failure to recognize the worth of his services and the extent of his patriotic sacrifices. That he does not need it may be admitted, but that is not a good reason in itself why the pension should not be paid. The essential fact is that Judge Long voluntarily gave up a life full of bodily health and accepted a maimed and painful existence in order to render a service to his own and future generations. He should receive praise and honor from his fellow countrymen. But can such services be paid for in money? When self-sacrifice becomes a purchasable commodity it ceases to be noble or praiseworthy and the perform- ance of a patriotic duty a mere gambler’s hazard, undertaken not because it is right but because there is possible profit in it. The tendency is to interpret gratitude in terms of dollars and cents and put a money valuation upon patriotic services and sac- rifices. This cannot be done without affronting every high-minded man who went into the war as a disinterested patriot. J udge Long and others like him should be allowed their pensions, not as payment for services rendered, but as a recognition of a debt that cannot be meas- ured by dollars. The people of the United States honor themselves by putting such men on the rolls and nobody will grum- ble at the rating granted. It is by contrast with such cases that the fraudulent character of so many claims and payments is emphasized and the sham of putting men like Long on a level with the psuedo patriots, many of whom never smelt gunpowder, is all the more glaring. We can afford to pay lagge pensions to the Longs. It is a privilege to do s. But it is not right to use a nation’s gratitude as an opportunity for chicanery and fraud. Mr. Bynum thinks that Oongress is not responsible for the overspeculation which has got the country into trouble. He cites the Whisky Trust, the Oordage Trust and other enterprises of this sort which un- loaded theif so-called stock at ten times its real value. But these same frauds were encouraged by the vicious revenue system - - — —_ I’m a fly. Glad to z-zee you, sir, am I. What! Slam it!’ did you say?

Altgeld pardoned the three Anardists there has been a veritable on- slaugit of abuse and vilification from the pubic press, especially that part 97 it whose preillections are tavorable to Republican pluoeracy. The Governor’s side is carefully exiuded from the columns, but wild as- @rtion and monstrous assumption are wowGed in day after day. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have seen the Governor’s statement cannot help but feel that he made a clean case and was justified poets who have seen reading of the trial, | in his action and honora bie and brave in the | deed. The vast majority of the people are un- thipaing. and are swayed by prejudice. It me de doubted if there are many, compara- ti/ely speaking, who condemn the Governor er setting those men free. The facts are, chey do not think much about it, and are on the fence, as it were, and of those who do think,a vast majority are with the Governor. Of all the hundreds of thousands of organized laborers and mechanics and reformers in the United States, I doubt if one-half of one per cent of all would hesitate to applaud Gov. Altgeld’s action. It is not because they areinsympathy with the ideas that these men were allegedto have given expression to, but because they are in favor of absolute justice to the lowest of our people. Facts could be given that would clearly substantiate these conclusions, but space will not permit. The Mouthings of rabid men who would blow society to pieces with the bomb have few hearers among the large mass of the I but this is no reason for unjustifiable rutality and autocratic assumption of despotic power by those in official circles. Such things are contagious, and if permitted to go unheeded are liable to extend to those who would reform by peaceful methods. **Eternal vigilance is the price was ie cag * oy * ER. The Botler makers View. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: In regard tothe boilermakers’ strike per- mit me to say the following througli the col- umns of your valuable paper: I have been at the business for over eight years, therefore qualined tospeak. The work is of the most arduous nature conceivable. As a result of competition the physical strength of the men is taxed to the utmost from the time they commence in the morning until they quit at night. Besides, they have to work in au manner of places, and under all kinds of conditions. For instance, in rendering es- tablishMents and under the sun in its very hottest state. The pittance they receive is not a fair proportion ofthe profits resulting fromthe ability and physical energy they furnish their employers. Besides charging for the material the bosses charge twice the amount of the highest paid men’s salary for outside work, which, added to the profit on material, make their profits considerable over 100 per cent. is it any wonder we seek to ameliorate our present condition? There is a law on the statute books which was in- tendea to apply to our cases, drafted and put through by Gen. Black of Massachusetts in 1868, but through the duplicity of the Repub- lican party, then in power, never went into effect, which ought to be put into effect, es- pecially in our case. A BOILERMAKER.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Would you kindly insert these few lines in your paper and if it brings the least bit of re- lief to those thatIam pleading for I will be ever so teful. It may bethat very few notice the cruelty of the chicken peddlers, They generally have coops full on the wagons, but six or so tied. together sothat the cords cut the skin, and then they swing them around in sucha way that the poor crea- tures’ wingsare brokenor tortured otber- wise. Now Iwould warn the housekeepers against buying such tortured birds, as it stands to reason that the meat cannot be healthy, andif they do not wishto be hu- mane for humanity’s sake, let it be for sani- tary reasons. These men 9 as well keep the chickens in the coops and peddle them, and I only hope that they will have no gale as long as they carry on their trade in such a- human manner.

Tidings. Not long ago there was dug up in Ashlanda curious stone with some dim and crude in- scription upon it. It being shown to an old Oregon pioneer, he pronounced it a temane- was stone, worn as a breast-plate by the ancient Indian priests. It has holes in the upper corners by which it may be hung upon the priest’s neck. I carries upon ita picture of the sacred wWig- the totem pole, onthe topof which a little flag was hung that warned the evil spirts off while the priest performed his divine func- tions, in the sacred house or wigwam. This temanewas may coincide with the breast-piate of the Ephod, worn by the ancient Jewish priests, so that the picture of the wigwam on this stone may represent the rimary ancestor of all the temples evn edicatedin the worid, and all ges ad liberty poles of all ages "and countries may possibly be the lineal descendants of the original totem represented on the stone Probably this Ashland stone is the only one of the kind in existence. TO OPPOSE THE SHERMAN BILL. Merchants’ Exchange to Send Delegates to the Washington Convention. A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange was held at noon to- day to consider an invitation extended by the New Tord Board of Trade to send five delegates to a convention of commercial bodles to be held in Washington on or about Sept. 1. Theobject of the pro- posed convention is to take such measures as may be deemed best to secure the repealof the Sherman law. The directors considered the matter and decided to send five delegates to the convention, in case it should be held. Volcano Located.

A Story From Italy of a Murder Seemed to Be Justifiable. Grant Allen in Tue Speaker. For my part,.“ said the parson, ANTED—To borrow at6 percent. Add W That tense. The old Italian brashed bt the ash from his cigarette. ‘*Well. I’lT tell you a ease,“ he said, that I remember in Padua.’* He had the misfortune to be a foreigner, don't you see, and admirably as he spoke our tongue (being marri to an English woman) he wasn’t yet aware that you mustn’t argue with a sea sings shut his eyes and drew is n across his forehead, as it he actually recalled to sight the vivid incident he was about relate to us. ** he be- ua you know the way they used to ride—tippeta-tip, tippeta- tip, through the crowd parts of town, clank, clank, on the paved streets, as if the world belongedtothem. The people with their baskets’ svattered wide on either hand. ‘Ho, ho, look out there! The Tedesco is upon you:“ Helter-skelter, right and let, quick as lightning they cleared the way for him. Either that or be run down! We din’t know it then, but ‘twas the survival of the swiftest. Andon the Austrian rode, through the midst of the market people whip in hand, spur at fank— his horse’s hoofs throwing up spattered mud on either side into the faces of the women. A dog ran at his heels—a great Austrian dog the right companion for such men—a sort o ferocious bloodhound. (And nowadays Ital- ians have a Triple Alliance! Well, well, we won't think of it.) A boy was passing by on his way from school with a much smaller dog—a little Italian dog, slender, 8 sensitive—the very contrast to the bi . hound. The big brute of an Austrian turned sharply upon him with one snap and worried him His jaws were likeavise. He almost killed him. The lad was a gentle lad the kind that never hurt dog or man in his life before; but he couldn't stand by and see the innocent little grayhound eaten up alive by that great iron-jawed monster. He picked up a stone from the street and flung 13 at the bloodhound. It hit the big dog on the head. The creature howled with in, Then the Colonel turned and saw it. Twas a good sharp blow. The big dog fell over and died on the spot. We held our breaths and waited. It wasarighteous retribution. But the Colonel was furious. He seized u cried: Halt! 1 took him off the cavaletto. He was dead, stone dead. Pain and terror had killed him. No redress, of course—he was only an italian. „Next day the Oolonel was sitting with some of his fellow-officers, sipping his ver- mouth outside the Cafe Pedrocchi. He was dressed in all his best, hussar coat on his shoulders, with arms flying loose, for it bap- pened to be a festa. Suddenlyaman ap- ared by the officers’ side and offered them orsale aboxof matches. He was poorly dressed, like oneof the street miserablies. The Colonel motioned him away with an im- patient wave of his hand. Quick as lightning the man sprang torward, and, drawing a niard, ‘plunged it into the Colonel’s som. it went straight to his heart. Ah, Dio! it was good to see the 4 out gurgle, gurgle, Kurglel The Colonel fell Aead. “he man lfted his cloak and displayed his face for a second. We, all of us, saw it—’ twas the father of the boy the Colonel had murdered. He disappeared at once, before anyone could arrest him. Then he got away safeto En- gland. The Austrians were afraid to ask for his extradition. But the boy was dead, and the man’s heart was broken.“ The erry. Radical drew a deep breath. ‘‘I call that, he sald, ‘‘not a just but an obligatory assassination.’’ lou seem to speak with warmth about it, signor,’’ the parson murmured, half in doubt what else to remark.’’ „es. 1 do,“ the old man answered, draw- ing one wrinkled hand across his white mus- tache; for that boy was my bets oh and the man who executed justice on th Colonel, my father.“ a There“ much to be said, quoth the par- son, on both sides of most questions.

From the Cineinnati Commercial-G Among the great variety of ways of getting a living is borrowing $2 until to-morrow. The manner seems at first blush to be rather pre- carious, but if scientifically pursued it appar- ently yields an income sufficiently large to sustain life and enable its recipient to keep up many of the appearances of respectability.

Now, Joyce is no doubt a valuable player when in condi- tion, but, after the long vacation he has had, it strikes me that it would be a long time before he could get into shape to do him- self justice. When the Washington Club was in Cincinnati, Karle Wagner, who, with his brother George, controls the team, wanted totrade Joyce to us in return for pitcher Mike Sullivan, but Capt. Comiskey could not see how the Reds would be benefited any more than when Dave Fouts offered him out- fielder Harry Stovey and the choice of either pitchers George Haddock and Tom Lovett for pitcher Elton Chamberlain.

If he had se- cured him Billy would have not played in our outfield. Comiskey knew, however, that it would take considerable hard work to get Joyce in shape, and in the meantime he would be like dead timber in the ciub. **Yes, sir, I think it is best to secure young, active men who have been doing good work in some of the minor leagues if a club is to be strenathened at this stage ofthe game. Then one is sure of getting a man whois in condition, at least, although of course the fact that he isin too fast company may soon make itself Known. Our new pitcher, Parrott, who twiried to- day, isa young fellow with lots of ambition and if that counts for apything he ought to prove a success. Anson and Hart made a bard fight to secure him, but we had first call on. sees and President Young had to assign him tothe Reds. He has unlimited speed, a variety of curvesand rarely sends over the plate the same kind of a ball twice in succession, but like all speedy twirlers, when a hard hitter connects with his de- livery. it counts.

They seem to have an excellent trio in Gleason, Breitenstein and Clarkson. NEITHER SIDE COULD WIN. Yellow fielding, senseless base running and execrable umpiring marked yesterday’s con- test between the Browns und Cincinnatis. It was about the worst played game of ball seen on the new grounds, and for all that it was the most exciting. Not a man in tile place could complain that he did not get his money’s worth. It was very fitting that the contest should have ended in a draw. woth sides struggled was in them to win, had the game won several and yet over-anxiety made them throw the game away. There never was a game won and lost oftener within nine innings. The redegming feature of the me was the free ba of botfsides. The pitchers were hit terri Parrot suffering by far the worst. and Clarkson were both touched up t. hard and the latter was very erratic. for the umpiring, McQuade never gave a poorer exhibition. He seemed as badly. rattled as the players. He was terribly severe on Clark- gon in the matter of balls and strifes and his base decisions cost the Browns two runs and ga ve the Reds ataliy they were not entitled to. Asfor the game itself, it surpasses de- scription. There were men on vase in every inning and senseless base-running and worse bandlin of the ball kept the spectators in a three- hours“ stew of uncer- — The honors of the game belong to Brodie for his magnificent tting and to Werden for his timely three-bagger when the bases were full. Capt. Quinn was the only infielder to distingush himself, and his Datting was heavy and timely. Shugart and Gunson were terribly off in their play, while Crooks and Verden were erratic. Cincin- nati’s playing was rer than the error column would indicate. The score: St. Louis 10, Oincinnati 10. Base hits—S8t. Louis 17, ——— 12. Krrore—St. Louis 6, Cincia- nati 8. SCHOOLBOY BASE BALL. If any one looks for a reason why the Browns and the Cincinnatis do not play championship ball, he need go no further than yesterday’s game. The one thing lack. ing in both organizations is generalship. Thece is a good deal of splendid base ball ma terial on both teams, butit is jumbled to- gether in chaotic fashion. Yesterday's game was the natural result ofthe mixture. Bril- liant plays, magnificent stick work, daring base-running stuck out here and there, but over it all was laid a deep coating of ver- milion. There was no plan, no design considered and worked out consistently about the con- test. The strongest impression conveyed was the lack of headwork. Just why this is so is a matter for serious conjecture. The Browns nad a manager sitting on the bench, the Cincinnatis a cap- tain-manager directing their movements on the field. Yet at every stage of the game each layer was a law unto himself and played as e listed, not as he was directed. It won't do to say with Cadeaux: ‘‘Things might be different if they wasn't as they 16. Things should be different, and if some seome were doing their whole duty they would be. TWO GAMES TO-MORROW. Comiskey’s Oincinnati Reds and the Browns will play two games, to witness which but one admission will be charged. The frst game will de called at 2 o’clock, and the second immediately after the frst one is over. Gleason and Clarkson or Hawley will Go the pitchihg for the Browns, while Frank Dwyerand Elton Chamberlain will handle the sphere forthe Reds. Jimmie Bannon is expected to be able to resume his position in right feld,and if de does Peitz will go bo- hind the bat. A dig crowd will no doubt turn out to Witness the games and cheer the Browns on to victory. THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE. P. W.

Ingalls of the Big Four road will in a few days withdraw from the Central Traffic As- sociation. This will, in all probability, pre- cipitate the abolishment ot mat association, which was organized in 1887, and now is com- posed of twenty or more leading lines. Mr. Ingalls said yesterday that the organization was inadequate to the purposes for which it had been formed. The Big Four tad con- tributed much money toward its support and had not beep benefited accordingly. With the Big Four will also go, it is believed, the Lake Shore end Michigan Central roads, which are the ther Vanderbilt lines in the Association. Mr. Ingalls bas already with- drawn the Big Four road from the Chicago and Onto River Association, to take effect ug. 1.

The Bi Four max withdraw, however, but that wil not break up th, association. Other roads heretofore have withdrawn, Dut it has not resulted inthe treaking upof the associa- tion.’’ OLEVELAND, O., July 22.—President John J. Newellofthe Lake Shore saysthe report that the Lake Shcre contemplates withdraw- ing from the Central Traffic Association is absolutely without foundation. The road has no idea of withdrawing, nor, in Newell’s opinion, has the Big Four, though he was not authoritatively advised on that int. President Newell ald the Central Trafiic As- sociation was never in better condition than at the present time. WILL LOSE A TRIBUTARY.

THRE ASIATIC SCOURGE Utmost Precaution Being Taken to Pre- vent Its Spread in Europe. NEw YorK, July 22.—Dr. W. A. Wheeler, head of the medical department at Ellis Island, has returned from Europe, where he had been sent by the Treasury Department at Washington to inspect the sanitary con- dition of the more important sea ports and learn the precautions used there in the transport of immigrants to this country. He arrived on the White Star steamer Brit- tannic-yesterday, after an absence of nearly three months. Dr. Wheeler has a lengthy report tomake to the Treasury Department of his investigations, but declined to divulge its contents and was unwilling to tell any- thing beyond the fact that in general the ports which he visited were in quite a satis- factory condition. Later, however, he vs ited Ellis Island and made known to Com- missioner Senner some of the particulars of his inspection. The information that cholera had appeared at Naples inté@rested Dr. Wheeler greatly. He was in Naples about three weeks ago, and there was no sign of cholera there then. In regard to its appearance he said: 1 certainly believe that it was imported and under the present arrangements thatit will be held in check. These arrangements include the quarantin- ing of all intending immigrants for five days in a building recently erected in therear of the city. iy the erection of this quaran- tine station there were no protective meas- ures whatever, and inthis respect Naples was far behind ports like cod! and Bremen. The principal ports visited by Dr. Wheeler were Hamburg, Bremen, Rotter- dam, Antwerp. Marseilles and Naples. In Hamburg and Bremen he found that every precaution was being taken to prevent the appearance of cholera and to hold it under control in the event ofits appearance. He found that the steamship companies were protected by a careful inspection of all steer- age passengers booked on their vessels, and that the sanitary condition of the cities was far ahead ofthat of last year. There have been a numberof cases of cholera in Mar- sellles, dut these were of a sporadic nature, rom an attack of which Marseilles has never been free. There are few if any immigrants arriving from Marseilles, and the only im- portation to be feared is that of rags. The rags exported from that’ placeto America, however, are thoroughly disinfected before they are — — nder the supervision of the American Consular certificate is required to this effect. Rotterdam and Antwerp were ina fair condition, one thing being noted particularly by r. eeler. At each of these ports Russian Jews are collected, be- cause not so much care is exercised by the owners of steamships in the selection of their steerage passengers. At Hamburg particu- larly Russian Jews bave recently had di. chity in securing passage tickets to America and the result is that others are gathering at Rotterdam and Antwerp for immigration.

MILLS TO CLOSE DOWN. AMSTERDAM, July 22.—The 2,000 people or more who find employment in Sanford & Sons’ carpet mills are worried over the an- nouncement that the mills are soon to be closed down.

A ‘special meeting of the North st. Louis Military Verein was held last night for the purpose of reconsidering a resolution passed at the last regular meeting indorsing the boycott declared by the Beer Drivers’ Union * Louls Obert’s brewery. The associa- t! is composed of German soldiers, and many were of the opinion that the society had no right to take any such action. The meeting was a very disorderly one, and when a motion to declare the boycott resolution unconstitutional was offered all pariia- mentary rules were disregarded, and Chair - main Hermar was obliged to bring proceed- ings to an end by quitting the chair. Obert has many friends in the Verein, as he was a liberal contributor to the fund tor the new hall. The present disagreemeat is re- garded as peculiarly unfortunate in view of the fact that the National Kriegerfest will be held here next month.
