When day dawned tn Akron this morning It revealed a scene of desolation, and evidences of violence end lawlessness unparalleled In tho history of this city. The rioters had done their -vork and had Blspersca. One child -was lying dead, and nearly a score of person? wero suffering from the wounds of pl3tol balls, buckshot end missiles. The clt building was a heap of smol dering ruins, and beside It steamed the water-soaked shes of Columbia Hall. Tho police forco of the city was C'sor ganlzed and scattered. Tho Chief had left tho city. Electric wires, deadly to tho touch, lay across the streets In the vicinity of tho burned bulldinss, and debris or all lands was scattered far and near. The down town streets were Just as the mob had left them, and, although nothing was being done by tho rioters, crowds of spectators, hundreds In number, hung around, waiting for something to turn up. At C o'clock the crowds be;an to Increase as the curious spectators hurled to the scene of tho trouble. A policeman ap peared, then another, timidly at first, but with Increasing assurance, as no violence was offered. Hitsctl the Milltlniucn. There was no evidence of ill will on the part of tho crowds at tho lines. The turbulent clement had slunk away with the coming of daylight and order was once more fully restored after a night of terror and anarchy. At 6:30 o'clock this morning Company C. Eighth Regiment, of Canton, unaer com mand of Captain-A. FislferfSrlved la Ak ron under riot orders. The soldiers were mat at the Valley Depot by Mayor Young and a party of city officials. They were marched immediately to the scene of last night's rioting. As the troops marched up the main thor oughfare hisses and groans were heard. The lawless element which llgured so promi nently in the rioting was still in evidence, although no open resistance to the troops was shown. On tho advice of his friends. Mayor Young sought his office by back streets and alley ways, as It was leared that h:s presence so early alter the rioting would causo a fresh outbreak. At 8:20 o'clock nine companies of the Fourth Regiment arrived In the city and marched to the scene of last night's rioting. Shortly before 10 o'clock Mayor W. E. Toung Issued a proclamation, closing every aaloon In Akron until further orders. The Mayor is taking every possible precaution to prevent a renewal of the outbreaks. If the situation demanoa drastic meas ures, tho Mayor states that the city will be put under martial law. Innocents Suffered. In tao last night's rioting, history was again repeated the Innocent ones were those to suffer, whllo tho guilty ones were practically uninjured. 01em V-ade was shot and almost Instant ly killed. He was In the mob and a bullet from tht revolver of a policeman In the City Hall found tho boy's heart. The lad was only U years of age. Another innocent who will die is Rboda Davidson, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Davidson of No. Ill Allyn street. Sitting In a carriage with her moth er and father, on the outskirts of the mob, the deadly bullet from a revolver in the hands of a police officer passed harmlessly over the rioting throng and found lodq raent In the skull of the child. No hope :s held out for her recovery. As.iault on the Prison. Tho rioting subsided at half past 6 o'clock this morning. ,The reign of terror began at half past i o'clock on Wednesday even, ing. Lewis Teck yesterday confessed hav'ng treated brutally Tina Haas, 5 yean old. Soon after 6 o'clock in tho evening a crowd began gathering about the city building, in the basement of which is the city prison. Three or four policemen wore at headquarters on tha first floor. They aid, and said truthfu'ly, that Peck had been taken to Cleveland. Borne one announced that the father of tho child would head a mob. "When this did not happen. In an hour, a dozen bold spirits passed down the drive to the en trance of the prison proper, followed by hundreds of others. They forced open a heavy screen door, opening Into the corridor of the prison, tho main door being open to admit air, and rushed in. The policemen who had been on guard In the room abovo heard their shout of exultation, and ran below. The police asked the crowd to appoint a committee of six to search the place, to prove that the negro was not there. This was done. "When their report reached the crowd cut elde a cry, "The County Jail!" went up, and tn a moment tho mob, now numbering 3,000, ran up tho hill to the Courthouse and Jail, two blocks away. "Without ceremony the leaders pushed their way Into the Sheriffs residence in the rear of which the Jail stands. Sheriff Kelley was absent, but Deputy Sheriff "Waller Holllnger met the rioUM. Ho re sisted a search, which was made. Infuri ated because tho negro was not found, tho mob became violent and marched on the city building. The municipal officers who were In the building begged the crowd not to enter, but they were met by demands for Peck. The entrances to We buildings were closed and Mayor Young appeared at a second story window and urgtd all to disperse. Ho was insulted by questions as to what his bribe was fur protecting che r.ero. To remove the assemblage an alarm of fire was rung in, and the department, knowing what was expected, ran past the crowd to Howard street, but the ruse proved an utter failure. Tho mob contin ued to threaten the building. Doors Mattered In. The anger of the crowd increased as time dragged on until a dozen men, worklngtnen of good habits, arrived with a ladder. It was immediately converted Into a battering tun and eoon tho doors were forced. Ins. through the heart. wrti.i.v i.iruF.n. FRED KORWICK. buckshot wound in abdomen.

Then from the win dows the police opened fire with their re volvers. Their fire was returned. Fearing that they were not well enough armed, some of the men went to the store of the Standard Hardware Company, broke a large plate-glass window and ransacked the place. Finally dynamite was called for. Just then some one cut the ropes of the electric light directly In front of the city building and It fell with a crash. Pollco and others Inside the building had turned out the lights within and the street was In darkness. The crowd was on the ;io!nt of dispeis Ing when Columbia Hall, an old skating rink, adjoining tho city building, w.is set on lire. An alatm of fire was rung In ai.d all tho fire companies responded. The blaze was so hot and rapid that the firemen could not approach within a distance that enabled them to accomplish anything. They gave their attention to udjolning property across the street. Then the mob began to cat" the hose, now nnd then shooting at the firemen. It was not long before dynamite was that the local militia. Companies B and tho houses for blocks around were shaken. City Automobile Taken. After tho automobile patrol wagons had been taken by the rioters and run up and down tho streets, with a man w ith a butcher knife as drier. It .vaj 3Ugesttd that the local military, companies 15 and F, Eignth Regiment, O. N. G., be called out. hen Mayor Young escaped from the city buhdlng he telegraphed Governor Nash. His call for help was most u.gont. Soon after 3 o'clock tn the morning the mob began to disperse and when the sun rose upon tho scene there was only an idle crowd of curious sightseers. To-night there are rumors that 300 men are going to Cleveland to tako Peck from Jail. Intimate of Damage. The total damage is estimated at $180,000, Including the wreck of the city building, Columbia Hall and several business build ings. Tents have been ordered for the militia, which will be kept hero until all danger of further rioting Is past. Camp will bo estab lished on the Courthouse grounds. Thousands came to the city to-day to see tho ruins of the buildings destroyed by the mob. None of the prisoners released has been rearrested. Destruction of the City Hall. The wildest scene of the night's rioting was at the City Hall, where city officials had taWen tefuue. "Burn them out!" wa3 tho cry from sev eral people, and the ei.ho of the cry was an affirmative roar trom tho mob. Adjoining the City Hall, which was con structed almost entirely of brick, was an immense building, winch for many yeais past was the principal public hall ot Akron. This building a veritable tinder-box caught the eye of the mob as a likely place to set lire to in tho hope that the flames would soon spread to the city building. No sooner thought of than It wa3 done. The large frame building wa3 presently a mass of llames. The vurlous fire companies re sponded to the alarm, but tho mob re fused to permit them to work. Several cowardly shots wero fired at the firemen, and L. Manchester was the llrst to tectlve an Injury". The lines of hose wero cut and smashed until there was not a single stream of water playing upon the devouring flames. Columbia Hall was soon a ruin, but the City Hall was yet standing. While the ad joining ball was burning, the inmates of the City Hall escaped. Resistance withdrawn, the mob made a rush for the hall. Flaming embers were thrown Into the different rooms and the building was soon burning. Some of the more thoughtful ones In tho mob liberated tho prisoners from the cells below the hall. A stick of dynamite was thrown Into the ftont of the burning building. A errinc crash followed, and portions of tho wall crumbled away like dust before the breeze. Another charge was exploded and the work of devastation was completed. Whllo this work was In progress, mem bers of the mob Having a peculiar sense of humor, pulled the automobile patrol wagon from the station-house. One noter, with a large knife In his hand, occupied the ope rator's seat, and, amid the cheers of thousands, the wagon was run up and down the street, bumping Into telephone poles and curbstones and finally running down a steep inclino into the canal. The auto mobile, of which Akron was so proud, is a hopeless wreck. The physicians of the city were on the qui vie while the rioting was in progress. At 4 o'clock thl3 morning the rioting had practically ceased. Mayor Y'oung said to-day: "We did everything wo could, but noth ing would satisfy the mob. Two commit tees searched the building from cellar to garret and reported Peck was not to be found, but the mob would not tako their word. Newspaper dispatches from Cleve land stating that Peck was In jail there were read, but all were hooted at by the mob. "Then the assault on the building began. We resisted as long as we could. 1 feel we did right, as we cculd not permit the build ing to be sacked. I suppose the mob re leased eight or ten male prisoners in tho ftontlnued a Paso Two WW t I HAXXA: 'LET ME FILE TOUK VOICE A LITTLE, TEDDY, BE FORE YOU MAKE ANOTHER SPEECH." TO SCOUR COMPTON HILL RESERVOIR. For the First Time in Twenty-Nine Years the Big Basins Will Be Cleaned. SEDIMENT HAS ACCUMULATED. It Is Believed That the Mud at the Bottom Is Fully Four Feet Thick The Problem of ..Pressure, Tor the first time in twenty-nine yeara, or ever since It has been in use, the large Compton Hill Rt.Ufvclr. at Grand and La fayette avenues, soon will be subjected to the scouring process by a force of work men under the supervision of Principal As sistant Engineer S. B. Russell of tho Wa terworks Extension. To-day the preliminary work will be com menced by the Sewer Department, and within ten dayj everything will be In readi ness for the bit; task. The cleaning of thl3 reservoir Involves not only the piuiuanco of a certain correct and ptoved plan, but also the study of many details that directly concern the grpat public wh'ch derives its water supply from Compton IUU. Thf reservoir was re paired recently, and. while the work was progressing In the season when tho con sumption cf water was enormous, all those high districts lytnsr Immediately outside the boundaries of tho high-pressure mains suf fered much Inconvenience becauso of the difficulty In takins water from hydrants above the first floor. Consequently the most important subject which the engineers will have to consider will be the continuance of tho usual serv ice, so that the pressure in low-service dis tricts will no. depreciate too much. There are two compartments, or basins. In tho Compton Hill Reservoir, divided by opera tive gates. One of these compartments will' bo emptied and cleaned, and simultaneous ly water wl:l flow from and into the othor compartment, the pumps either keeping pace with or exceeding the outflow Into tho rcrvice pipes. In 11:1s manner the engineers of the Water Department expect to mako one compartment serve the purpose of the two. Each of tho barlr.s measures 410x190 feet around on top of tho walls and 350x400 feet on tho bottom, tho depth oelng 20 feet. The capacity of both basins Is 67,000,000 gallons of water. T reservoir was placed In serv Ico tn 1S71. About twelve years ago the bottom wna pounded and then It was thought that two foot of sediment had ac cumulated; experts believe that about four feet of sediment will now be found. "Wo find," said Secretary Holland of the Water Department, "that there is only ono successful method for cleaning this thick sediment. It consists In the use of boards, very similar to snow shovels, to spllco tho mud. As the iihovcl Is manipulated tho lay ers aro floated and pushed down gutters, formed with low wooden walls, to the pipo leading to the sewer." "About twenty-five men will do tho work." said Mr. Russell, "and I think they will finish In three or four weeks. I do not anticipate any trouble regarding tho serv ice, as we will probably connect some of the low-ptetsuro to high-pressure pipes." The oewc-r Department will to-day begin laying a 14 Inch pipe from Geyer and Lou isiana avenccs Into the reservoir crounds. This pipe will carry tho sediment through the Joat. arJ Mill Creek sewers to the riv er. The p:po will be laid within ten days. Mr. Russell has not decided on the Oate when the scouring will be started, out It will be a? soon as conditions permit. GOMEZ TO CUBAN"eLECT0RS. "No Enemies of Freedom Should Be Sent to Convention." Havana, Aug. 23. General Maximo Gomez to-day published a second letter to the electors ot Cuba, In anticipation of the forthcoming Constitutional Convention. Aft er saying that the people have not rightly understood tho former letter ho goes on to observe: "The Separatist party in Cuba ha3 always defended the Idea of Independence. Other parties have been formed to combat this just aspiration of the people. The matter low in hand is of vastly more importance .nan any question of public ofllcea. From the convenUon something should result which shall be clear, honorable and In har mony with the revolution. "Should this work be Intrusted to those who in arms opposed the revolution, or to the revolutionist?, who lent their aid to the cause on the field of battle and In towns ibroad? The revolutionists should not tbandon the convention to enemies, but should crown their own work in the conven- ligai LEFT HER HOME TO ARN INDEPENDENCE, Then Miss Becker Eloped io Belle ville and Became the Bride of Doctor Renwick. FATHER HAD REFUSED CONSENT Daughter of St. Charles Attorney Would Not Disobey llim While Living Under His Koof, but ''Love Fouu!-a Way." Becauso her father objected to the man she loved and refused his consent to her union with him, Miss Blancho G. Becker of St. Charles. Mo., left her home and came to St. Louis, where she secured a position In which she worked until yester day, when she eloped to Belleville with Doctor Robert W. Renwick nnd was mar ried to him. Miss Becker comes of an old Missouri family. Judge Louis H. Becker, her fa ther, Is a prominent lawyer In St. Charles and was formerly Prosecuting Attorney in that city. She has known Doctor Renwick for several years, and for some months past it was pretty generally known that sho was engaged to him. From tho first Judge Becker opposed tho match. Tho young couple and their friends pleaded often with him. but could never obtain his consent to the marriage. The young lady was unwilling to act in direct oppo-iltlon to her father's wishes while under his roof and dependent upon him; but determined, however, to marry the man she loved. She finally hit upon a plan. One morning she announced to her family that she was going to St. Louis tor tho purpose of earn ing her own living. Being possessed of con siderable ability she experienced no difficul ty in securing a good position. At this she worked steadily until the early part of this week, when she told her sweetheart that sho would marry him when he was ready. He said that he had been ready for many months, and suggested that' they go to Belleville and be nmrried at once. The sug gestion was acted upon, with the result of the marriage yesterday. The couple re turned to St Louis and went to tho home of the groom. No. 1611 Washington avenue, where they will make their home. They received many congratulations last night. A special dispatch from St. Charles Bays that the bride's family knew nothing of the marriage, although they had, in a way, expected it. The message states that Miss Becker had been spending the past filx weeks with friends in St. Louis. The moth er of the brido said the marriage had been postponed several times, and that at last the bride had secured the consent of her father, but that he did not know she was to be married so soon. MOTHER TOOK MORPHINE. Neighbors Say She Intended to Drown Her Five Children. Mrs. Mary Kerns, wifo of Thomas Kerna, a striking street railway conductor, living at No. 6313 Michigan avenue, was taken to the City Hospital at 1 o'clock this morning, suffering from morphino poisoning. Doctor Wnlker of No. 6203 Michigan av enue, who attended the woman at her home, reported to Patrolman Mullen of the Caron delet Police District that her mind was temporarily deranged. According to the information obtained by the police officer Mrs. Kerns started toward tho Mississippi River, which is only a few blocks from her home, calling to her live children to follow her. The neighbors told the policeman that sho said that she Intended to drown the little ones. She was restrained and returned to her home. Then, It Is said,, she obtained the morphine and drank It. An ambulance conveyed her to the City Hospital, via the South Side Dispensary. At the hospital the stomach pump was used, but the physicians could not tell at 2:30 o'clock this morning whether 6he would recover. Mrs. Kerns has had a great deal of trouble In the last few weeks, and this Is given as tho cause of her condition of mind. "TOM HALL'S" FUNERAL Writer's Remains to Be Laid to Rest To-Day.

Russian Commander Says Czar Has Declared War, Leaves the Council and Retakes Imperial City. the Suez uanai. SPECIAL BY CABLE. Pekin, Friday, Aug. 17, 7:30 a. m. (Copyright, 1900, by the New York Herald Com pany.) On Wednesday, August lo, the American troops attacked the gates leading into the Imperial City. The battery of the Fifth Artillery sent shells from an elevated position onto the gate. The Fourteenth and Ninth Infantry and the marines entered below, and fired on the Chinese troops. They then pushed on to the west gate. The American gatling guns did good work. Gate after gate was blown in, and the Chinese were shelled out of them, and the infan ti'3? rushed in until the four gates were taken. In the afternoon the operations were halted, and a conference of the Generals was held. which resulted in the withdrawal of the American troops. At this conference all except the Russians agreed not to violate the Imperial City, and decided that the object of the expedition had been accomplished, pending further advices from the interested Powers. THE RUSSIAN GENERAL STATED THAT HIS GOVERNMENT HAD DE CLARED WAR ON CHINA, and proceeded to occupy the positions vacated by the Americans. The military authorities are not in communication with the Chinese Government. Japanese, Russian and British troops are in the Tartar City, The Chinese are now all out. The American casualties GREAT FIRE RAGING IN IMPERIAL London, Aug. 2i, 3:00 a. m. Fires, fighting and dissension are apparently following in the wake of the relief of Pekln. .JThaJJally Mail publishes dispatches from the Chinese capital, dated'as late as August 17, declaring that a great fire was then raging in tho Imperial City. The Russian commander had declined to accept the decision of tho other Generals not to violate the Imperial precincts and street fighting was going on. General Chaffee so it is asserted main tained that the Chinese had been adequately punished already and that It would be un wise to take the Imperial Palace. This ex plains the withdrawal of the Americans after breaching the three gates. Tho Russian General, however, main tained that his Government had declared war against China and that, therefore, there was no reason to prevent him carry ing hostilities Into the sacred precincts.

"Washington wr. 2J While the die-ion of the riexldent not to eo to Chicago dvs not .signify that he contemplate tailing Congress, together In t.t'a session, it indi cates that the po.-Ibllity of s-uch action becoming necess.u -s lenllzed Heretofore, as grave a- the Chinese vituatton has W en, cor.ditionh hje not li-.-:. .-ueh as to com pel him to rem-nn in Washington. At Can ton hf hat. been in constant communication by telephone and was able to conduct pub lic buslnes- from thei n he would have been at tho White House. The pressing necessity of his remaining in Was-hington has developed within the pa-t day or two. nv.ro the decision that he couH not go to Cnicago was not reached earlier than Yf!terday, when h held a. long and Important conference with Secretary Root and Assistant Secretary Adet-. With the possibility of It becoming ntcesary to call an extra session of Congi", the ncc-wity of the President's remaln!ng"ln Washing ton would be aprarent. The Chinese affairs have reached that crisis where within twenty-four hours con ditions may take a turn one way or the other. So little is known of the disposition of tho Chinese Government that there l no means of Judging whether the reply sent to Li Hung Chang will be received In a compliant spirit or one of defiance, and the worst must be prepared for. A stage ha3 been reached where events move rapidly at the seat of military opera tions, and if there 1 not a speedy collapse of Cnineso resistance tho fact that war actually exists cannot long be ignored. o IVmiiorirluar. The United States Government has taien the lead in rep!ing to China that theie will to no temporizing negotiations and theie is every reason to believe the Powers will be united In this ham policy. The answer of the United States was quickly fellowed to-day by similar action on the part of the Germans. The Berlin Foreign Office delivered to the Chinese Min ister an answer refusing to fnter into ne gotiations on the ground that there was no evidence that LI Huig Chang's crdential; gave him suflicient power to act, and that nothlrg short of complete authority from the responsible rulers of China, the Em peror and Empress Dowager, could bo re garded as suflicient. The Japanese officials expressed their full conviction that Japan would take similar action If, indeed, such action had not al ready bten taken. The course of France and Great Britain has not been made known here, but there la thought to be no doubt that these Govern ments will decline to trtat with China at this time Each Government, however, is acting entirely on lli own responsibility, nnd there will be no piearrangement as to tlio reply. For that reason the German answer differs from the American, althougn the end TROOPS DIVERTED TO MANILA "Washington, Aug. 23. The important de velopment In the Chinese situation to-day was the decision of the Government not to send any more troops to China. AH the troops now at sea, amounting to about 4.000, together with those under orders for service in the Far East, which have not sailed, amounting to about 3,000 more, will bo sent to Manila. These troops will sail on the same route, and, upon touching at Nagasaki, will go on to Manila unless there aro developments in China not now ex pected, which would make their presence that country necessary. Secretary Root said to-day that no more troops wero being sent to China because they wero not needed. "With the arrival at Taku of the Hancock, and tho troops she carried. General Chaffee will have B,0)0 available men. which is deemed sufficient for all present purposes. The decision of tho department was not based upon any rec ommendation made by General Chaffee, but upon reports recelvrd by him, which made It apparent that no more troops were needed. Official Announcement. The announcement of the diversion of tho troops was made in tho following official bulletin, which was posted at the War De partment this evening: The Government has decided that unless required by future developments, no more troopB are to be sent to China. Orders have PEKIN COMMANDERS REPORT. St. Petersburg, Aug. 23, General Llne vltch, commander of the Russian troops In the Province of Pe-C!il-Ll, telegraphs to the Ministry' of Wars, as follows: "At 3 o'clock In the morning of August 14. our troops stormed the eastern gate of Pekln and were the first to enter tho city. The Russian flag was tho first hoisted on the walk The bombardment of the gate lasted fourteen hours. The Russians then scaled and occupied the wall. The Chinese, however, still held tho observatory and other towers, whence they subjected our troops to a heavy enfilading fire, until our infantry forced them to leave their posi tions. Our losses were: "Killed Colonel Antinkoff and twenty men. "Wounded General Wasilowskl, Colonel Modi and five other officers and 102 men." On the morrow the allied troops stormed and captured another gate and entered the city. "We found the Imperial Government had fled and that the legationers were in great straits." The dispatch concluded with describing the recent attacks on the legations. During the siege the inmates of the Rus sian Legation had five killed and twenty wounded. JAPS TAKE IMPERIAL PALACE. Washington. Aug. 23. The Japanese Lega tion to-day received the following advices from tho Foreign Office at Tokio, dated August 23: "The commander of trie Japanese fleet at Taku transmitted by telegraph on the 21st the report from Pekln as follows: "The Japanese regiment which had been detailed early on the 15th for the purpose of protecting the Imperial Palace, had hard fighting all day, but to a decisive issue., firing on the palace nghtlng all day, but they could not bring it ns thev refrsilnnd from firing on the palace. On the following day. TUATION. a v A FEW HOURS WILL DECIDE A few hours will decide whether it is to be war or peace in China. By this time the American reply is in LI Hung Chang's hands. Earl LI now nos that this Government will not temporize; that he must produce full authorization from his Govern ment to settlo with the Powers and that his Government must at once demonstrate that it ii willing and able to end tho attacks on the for eigners troops and civilians In tint country. If the reply from this Government Is recohed in a hpirit of defiance, it probably will mean that the Powers will fail to bring about a peaceful solution. That the Government, however. Is hepcfiil of an early end to the dis turbed conditions In Pekln and else where l China is shown by tr.o fact that orders yesterday were srutil di verting troops en route 10 China to Manila.

A dispatch was received from General Chaffee lo-day. dated Tekln, August 18, which was not in response to the request sent him a few days ago to report the con ditions and requirements. General Chaffee did not report further fighting in Pekln, and for that resson the Washington officials feel assured that hostile demonstrations in tho Chinese capital have censed. The dis patch related largely to tranportalion con ditions, and stated that the railroad be tween Taku and Pekln could not be used at the present time, as portions of it had been destroyed by the Chinese. General Chaffee will co-operate with the other commanders In China In reconstructing the road for the use of tho allied forces. Gen eral Chaffee nlso reported tho telegraph which was constructed by tho Signal Corps from Tien-Tsln to Pekln Is frequently In terrupted, being cut, possibly, bv hostile Chinese. however, they took Its principal gate; and now the city Is almost entirely cleared of the enemy. 'The Imperial family and the Ministers of State left for Sian-Fu five or six days ago, escorted by 3,000 troops, under Tung Fuh Slang. "With the object of restoring order, the city has been divided into districts, Japan being assigned the northern half and Japan, the United States, Great Britain, Russia and Franco have each deputed an officer to carry on tho administration. 'Prince Tuan's residence has been burnt down by the Japanese. The Japanese naval detachment which guarded tho Japanese Legation, lost during tho siege five killed and eight wounded.

DRINK-GRAZED MAN TERRORIZED A TOWN. John Walfor Shod the Blood Three Mon in the Streets of Millstadt, TIL of USED ICE TONGS AND A KNIFE. Opened One Victim's Cheek From Ear to Chin and Cut Another's Throat All Escaped Fatal Injury. John Walter, a farmer, bectnio crazed fiom drink yesterday evening and terror ized the town of .Millstadt. 111., assaulting two meii with a pair of Ice tonss and wounding another with a knife. The in juries he inflicted are painful and in each mrtanco will leave thtlr mark for life. Wnlter was overpowered by the City Mar shal, after he had defied the efforts of two of his victims to disarm him. He was fren zied, foaming at the mouth and shouting curses at the top of his voice. The -Marshal strapped him and locked htm In a cell In the city jail, where he con tinued his mad raim;s. W:tlter ilrst attacked Jacob Lippert, driver of a beer wagon, at Besse's saloon, strik ing him savagely with a pair of ice tongs, the sharp points penetrating the bcalp to the skull nt each blow. After felling Lippert, th sight of the blood which flowed from the driver's head imbued him w ith a detare for more victims and he started up the street, brandishing the ice tongs and screaming oaths in Ger man. People fled at his approach, the women and children being frightened bevond de fccrlption. Fred Niemeyer thought to disarm the in sane man, but Walter was too quick for him. With one swing of the tongs he cut Nieme.ver's cheek open Trom ear to chin. Knglebert Weber approached to aid Xie meyer. Walter drew a keen-bladpd knife from his pocket, opened it nnd slabbed Weber's throat, cutting a gash seen inchep long. The blade grazed the jugular vein and windpipe. Together Niemeyer and Weber tried to overpower Walter, but they would have br.en killed but for the timely arrival of the City Marshal, who, after a struggle, took the maniac Into custody and lodged him In the jail. The three victims suffered a serious loss of blood, but the phyIcian who dressed their wounds expressed the opinion that un less blood poisoning set In they would re cover. Walter had been drinking hard for Fevcral days and it is supposed that the heat un balanced his mind. CHINESE ROUTED. Culoni'l Wint's Furious On&Iaujrhl in Tien-Tsin. nv nnwix WILDMAX.

Comfort able ftiitl Attractive. VarleUcoloted and diverse-patterned shirt waist were the order of the evening with the men at a dance given at the old Pastime Club Hall by Miss M. Hardy last night. The rule was that no male wearing a coat would be allowed upon the floor, and the rule was a popular one because of tho heat and an apparent desire to dis play novelties in the shirt-waist line. In the early part of the evening there was some timidity on the part of the knlshts of the shirt waist, and thev evinced a desire to wear coats. This soon wore otf, however, and after the third or fourth dance tho balhoom presented an attrac ts e scene of moving color. The designs in the waists were almost as varied as the shades of color. There were plain fronts, box pleats, jokes and ruffles. Though the night wa:, warm, the dancers did not have the heated look which is generally observable at summer dances. Tho shirt waists enabled the male lnnpprs to benefit by every passing breeze, which never would have penetrated the thickness of a dress coat and starched shirt bosom. Tho airy colors of the summer gowns worn by the girls were quite equaled by the costumes of their partner". MIsh Hardy is an ndvocate of the shirt waist man. She holds that there is no logical argument npalnst a style of dress which combines beauty nnd comfort. She sajs that those who protest against the fashion would have protested aa loudly against coats if they were a novelty, she compared them with the people of a cer tain canton in Switzerland who consider any one homely who does not possess a goiter.

Powers of Europe Storing Great Quantities of Coal The Cause of the Strike Is ,Verv Ludicrous. ItEPtTDLIC KPECLVL. London. Friday. Aug. 23 (Cop right, 13W, by the New York Herald Company.) Be cause the general manager of the Taif Vale Railway refuses to meet a representative of a labor union, not a pound of coal Is moving at Cardiff and SO.OuO colliers ore Idle. This railway Is tho main artery through which tho great stream of Welsh steam coal flows down to Cardiff. The bulk of tho steam coal ued by the British Navy and merchant m irino is carried from the mines to the coast by the Taft Vale Hallway. Tho strike on this railway. If not speedily ter minated, must hae a disastrous effect on Ehlpplng and seriously embarrass the Ad miralty at a time when steam coal Is a very precious article. Opportune Time for Strike. No better time could have been chosen by the labor un.cn leaders to stop this great coal carrier. Welsh steam coal has already touched record prices, and tho Admiralty only a few days ago was forced to pay an exorbitant price for 250,0u0 tons. All tho Powers of Europe are storing up great quantities of steam coal. All along tho French coast are stoics of coal bought by the Republic at Cardiff. Itussia is buy ing the precious articlo by the millions of tons. Now that they have forced the price of Welsh coal to top figures, the Con tinental naies arc looking to Ameriea for more. England suddenly wakes up to find that her own source of supply has been paral zed. All Uio troublo has arisen, or so it ap pears on the surface, because a signalman on the Taff Vale Railway has rheumatism. It is a bklrmlsh In the war between Brit ish labor unions and British railwavs. From the Great Eastern Railway, w hich has been threatened with a strike for some weeks, Richard Bell, a powerful labor agitator, has suddenly turned his attention to tho Tuff Vale, with tho result that a striko has been ordered. Cunnc of Strike. Despite tho seriousness of It, all tho causes of the strike are ludicrous A rheu matic signalman at Abercynon named Ew Ington, who was earning 21 shillings per week, was put on the sick list in April. Three months later, or a month ago, Ew lngton asked for his old place. As another man had taken his place at Abercjnon, a place at Nehcrtert was offered to him and he refused for domestic reasons. He said he had a wifo and eight children and could not leave Abercjnon. Ihcn a place as relief man, with an in crease In wages, was offered to him, with free transportation and the promise of a ermanent place when a vacancy occurred. Iwlngton thought this over for a few days and then told his employ ers that his lellow workmen would not allow- him to do this He must have his old place, wnlch it ap pears was occupied by a nonunion work man. Then It was that Richard Bell, as general secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Sen ants, appeared on the :-.-er.e Ho sent a peiemptory demand to Mr. Bcas loy, general manager of the Taff Vale Rail way, to reinstate the rheum? tic signalman Bell announced that he had been placed in charge of tho movement, and that all fu ture negotiations must be mado through him. General Manager Beaslev refused to ne gotiate with Bell. Then the rouble began. Nothing: to Arbitrntc. The Major of Cardiff has offered his sen ices a.s arbitrator, but Mr. Beaslev sas bo has nothing to arbitrate. Now that tho strike is on the men demand higher wages but they did not leae work for this. Tho Taft Valo has been one of the best paying railways in Great Britain. From 3K) to 1SS1 it pild 10 per cent dividends. In 1SS1 it paid 17& per cent. Along with all the other British railways. Its. securities hae lately declined in the market. If Mr. Bell wins his fight for recognition on tho Taff Vale Railway, then tho Great Eastern and other threatened English rail ways will tremble, for. as Is well known, Mr. Bell and his followers mean to wage a. general warfare against the already im poverished English railways A Mctory now will ghe the labor leaders courage. 127 Help Wanted Ads Printed in to-day's Republic.

'I lie Murt for l'ckln. The.rtart of the- International column for Pckin was. inaugurated after the receipt of urgent message-, from both the British and Aineiiean letations in Pckin. The allied lorce was furnished with railroad ti jh portation by the Chinese authoiities in Tien-T-in, although It was thought at l.rat they mlght have to seize the nccessaiy ti. lint A start was made on the 10th of June, and from that time on thu advance was made under constantly Increasing difficulties. Whole sections of track were torn up, bridges and culverts weie found wrecked, stations burned and pumping appliances at the water lankj were destroyed.

The retreat was slow, hovvevtr. Every village along the thickly settled banks was a vantage point, from which the Chinese hotly contested the movement of the column, both with artilleiy and small arms. Flanking parties had to be thrown out on each sidt, and town after town was cleared by the impetuous charges of Japanese, Austrians and Germans, while the American Held gun, the B-Itish 9-pounders .end the German and Russian guns shelled out the Chinese from their muu rcaouois aim Kept .il u,ij uiu mu iu rons of cavalry that hovered on the fl inks, hoping to cut up the retreating column.

During this light and before the allies were able to get their wounded Into the pro tection of the arsenal grounds, the junks where the wounded were still lying were subjected to a severe lire from the Chinese and three of the British wounded were killed The heavy casualties of the d ty complicated the situation considerably. The column had over 200 wounded to transport and care for. and it was (vidently impossible to carry these and go forward by the in lin road to Tien-Tsln. tor, after deducting the number of killed and wounded, and tho men who would be needed as bearers, the ef fective force of the column would have been less than 1 0C0 men It was decided, there fore, to hold out in the arsenal inclosure until relief could be summoned from Ticn Tsin.

DISCUSSED CAMPAIGN ISSUES. Declared That All Anti-Iiupeiiali-i.sts Hlionld Unite in This Cam paign to Sine tho Republic A Great Crowd. Topckn, Ki-, Aug. 23. Mr. P.rvan to-day recelvid the second ollieial notification of his nomination for tho Presidency. This notification came from the Populist party, and Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado acted as the mouthpiece of the party in making it. He was at the same time in foimed of the Indorsement of his candidacy by the United States Monetary League, this notification being given by A. W. Rucktr. Tho ceremonies occurred in the spacious and beautiful grounds of the State Capitol, and were witnessed by a largo number of people. In notifying Mr. Bryan of his nomination on tho Populist ticket, Thomas M. Patter son of Colorado, as permanent chairman of the National Populist Convention, said in p irt: "Mr. Bryan, we are here to-day, that, as tho mouthpiece of the Nation il Conven tion of the People's party. w may formally notify you of your nomination for Presi dent of tho United States by that conven tion. The convention fully understood when It gave this token of Its great love and confidence that you were not a member of tlio Piople's party, neither would you be Pledged to Its nlatfoim. except so far as your convictions and the principles of your own party coincided with its declarations. "Neverthelesu, sir, the People's party nomlnuted you with absolute unanimity, and with an enthusiasm not excelled even In the convention of voiir own party, when it nominated you for the same grtat of lice. Mr. Brvan said In pail: "Mr. Chairman and Members of the Noti fication Committee In accepting the presi dential nomination which you tender in be half of the Populist party, I desire to give emphatic recognition to the educational woik done by your party. The Populist pirty. as an organization, and the farmers' alliances and tho 1 ibor organizations-, from which they sprung, have done much to arouse the people to a study of econonyic and Industrial questions! "I desire also to express my- deep appre ciation of the liberality of opinion and de votion to principles which have led the members of your party to enter the ranks of another party in the selection of a can didate. Ilcpublle-an I'nrpu-ico Plain. "If the Populists felt justified in opposing the Republican party when It sought to conceal its gold-standard tendencies under the m islt of Internatlcn il bimetallism, the opposition should be more pionounced in proportion as the Republican party more openly t spouses gold monomi'tullls-m. "In 1SUj the reform forcei charged the Re publican party with intending to retire tho Kreenbacl's This charge, denied at the time, has been confessed by the financial bill, which converts greenbacks, when once redeemed, into gold certificates and extends new privileges to hanks of isBue. "The Populists opposed the Republican party when its hostility to greenbacks was only suspected That opposition should be greater now. since no one can longer doubt the purpose of the Republican party to sub stitute bank notes for greenbacks. "It Is true that Populists believ In an ir redeemable greenback, while the Demo crats believe in a greenback redeemable In coin, but tho vital question at this time, so far as paper money is concerned. Is wheth er the Government or the banks shall lsue it. There will be time enough to discuss the redeem ibllity of the greenback when the greenback Itself Is saved from the annihila tion which now threatens it. "The Republican party Is now- committed to a currency system which necessitates a perpetual debt, while the Populists find themselves In agreement with the Demo crats who believe In paying off the nation al debt as soon as posslole. "If belief In an Income tax Justified a Populist in acting with the Democratic par ty in 1S0G, what excuse can he llnd for aid ing the Republican party now, when even the exigencies of war have not been sulil clent to bring that party to the support cf the income-tat principle? Keiiaon for Co-operation. "Populists believe In arbitration now as much as they did in 1SSC, and are as much opposed to government by injunction and the blacklist as they were then, and upon these subjects they have as much reason for co-operation with the Democratic party to day as they had four years ago. "Democrats nnd Populists alike favor the principle of direct legislation. If any differ ences exist as to the extent to which the principle should be applied, their differences can be reconciled by- experiment. "The Democrats and Populists agree that Chinese and other Oriental labor should be cxi luded from the United States. "Democrats and Populists desire to so en large tho scope of the interstate commerce act as to enable the commission to protect both persons and places from discrimina tion, and the public at large from exces sive railroad rates. "The Populists approvo the demand set forth in the Democrat!" platform for a la bor bureau, with a caolnet officer at Us liad. Such an oflliial would kep the ad ministration in close touch w u!. the wage enrnliig portion of tne population and ko lar toward securing such remedial legisla tion as the toilers need. "In 1S9G the Populists united with the Democrats In oppjsing tho tru.sts. althoiun the quedtu'i at thai time uppearrd like a cloud, scarcely larger than a man's hand. To-day that cloud well-nigh overspreads the Industrial sky. "The larau- uocs not participate in th profits of any trust, hut he sorely feels the burden of them all.

"In 1SS0 the tariff question was the prin cipal subject of discussion, and the Demo cratic party contended that the masses were carrying a burden of unjust and un necessary taxej. "The failure of the Republican party to secure International bimetallism, and Its open espousal of the gold standard still keep the money question In politics, but no economic question can compare in import ance to a question which concerns the prin ciple and structure of the Government. "Systems cf taxation can be changed with less difficulty than financial systems, and financial systems can oe altered with less danger and less disturbance to the country than the vital doctrines upon which free government rests. "In a Government where the people rul" every wrong can be righted and every evil remedied, hut when once the doctrine of self-government is impaired and might I substituted for right there is no certaintv that any question will be settled correcilv" "A colonial policy would so occupy th people with the consideration of the na tion's foreign pollcv- tnat domestic ques tlons would be neglected. 'Who will haul down the flag? or 'Stan by the President' would be the prompt re sponse to every criticism of the admtnistr.. tlon, and corruption and special prlvlleg would thrive under the cover of patriotism It is not strange that the Populists should oppose militarism and Imperialism, for both are antagonistic to the principles which the PopulUts apply to other ques tions. "Ijookinc: at nuestlnre-i fmm th. a.r.,i polnt of the producer of wealth rather than from the standpoint of the speculator, the lopullst recognizes in militarism a con stant and increa.ini: burden. The army worm, which occasionally- destroys a Held of wheat. Is not nearly so dangerou an enemy- to the farmer as a large standing army, which inv ides every field of Industry and exacts toll from every crop. "At the present rate we will spend an nually upon the army- approxlmatelv- half as much as we spend for education "in the Lnlted States, and this immense sum Is wrung from the taxpayers oy systems of taxation which overburden the poor man and under tax tho rich man. "In the presence of such an Isue as mili tarism it Is- impossible that any Populist fchould hesitate aa to his duty. Other Dangers of Imperialism. "But even the menace of militarism !s hut a part of the question of Imerialism. Tho pollcv contemplated by the Republican party nullifies every principle set forth In the Declaration of Independence, strikes a blow at popular government, and robs the nation of iti moral prestige. "Already the the more advanced supporters- of the colonial idea point to the economy of a system of governmert which entrusts all powers to an executive, and does away with the necessity- for legislation. The Army and Navy Journ il. in its isuue of August 4, commends the English system, and declares that a a result of this svstem a fifth of the world's area, containing a fifth of Its population, is ruled with an ad mliilstratlvo economy- which Is an admin istrative marvel. "Thus does Imperialism bear out its sup porters backward turning toward the Dark Ages. There Is no middle ground be tween tho American policy and the Euro pean policy. "If this nation remains true to Its prin ciples, its trpditions and its history t can not hold colonies. If it ntcrs uoon a colonial career It must repudiate the drc trlne that governments derive ther just powers from tn consent of the governed. The Empire or the Republic.

"A republic is always a menace of a monarchy, just as truth Is always a menaco to error. Self-government, being the natu ral government, must necessarily create dissatisfaction among the subjects of those governments which build, upon some othex foundation than the consent of tha gov erned. "What tho Orange Free State and Trias vaal republics are to South Africa, cur re public Is to thu world, and only our In creasing strength and the wide Atlantic havo protected us from the inextinguish able ho-itllity which must ever e!3t be tween those who support the :htoi and who recognize the citizen as the soven-'gn. "Our opponents say that the world would laugh at us if we should give independence to the Philippines. Yes. Kings would lauh. aristocrats would laugh, and those who laugh will deny the Inalienable rights of men and despise the humbler folk, who 'along tho cool sequestered vale of life keep the noiseless tenor of their way,' but let this nation stand erect and. spurning the bribes, of wealth and power, show that there is a reality In the principles which we profess; let it show that there Is a dif ference between a Republic and a monarchy, and the opprmsed In every land will see 'n our flag the hope of their own deliverance, and. whether they are bleaching upon tho battlefield or groaning beneath the tyrant's lash, will raise their eyes toward heaven and breathe a fervent prayer for the safety of our Repuhllc."

Seventeen Members Have Died Vio lent Deaths. REPUMLIC SPECIAL. Camden. N. J... Aug. 23. "I guess -we -will all die violent deaths," said John Gibbs, a. business man here, oned ay last week, la speaking of a strange fatality that has pur sued his childhood companions. Four days later Gibbs punctured his foot with a rusty nail, and yesterday he died In terrible agony, making seventeen out of twenty-cne men who had met unusual deatha Almost supernatural seems tho fatality which has- carried them off, and the re maining four, who are all business men of this city, are wondering when their turn will come. As boys these men attended the same school, plaved the same games, attended the same church, and courted girls In the same city. When they- grew older they formed the "Twenty-One Club" ana tho membership was- limited to the clique that had clung together since childhood. When the first one was married several years ago. they held a meeting, and agreed th it nothing should separate their friend ship, and the club should be continued until death claimed them. About three jean ago the first one died, and, strangely enough, it was the first one who had married. Whlls leaning over. looking In the water, he fell overboard, and was crushed to death by a boat. Violent death since then has carried them away in rapid succession. Only a week later one of the group was thrown from a horse and killed. Two of them were sunning the following year, and one shot the other, inflicting wounds that proved fatal. The one that did the shooting was himself killed on the same day of tho week a month later. In the year that fol lowed a half dozen were drowned, and sev eral met deaths from blood poisoning, until fourteen had passed away. Early this summer Henry" Martin, th fif teenth, was asphyxiated at Atlantic City. and last week George Blank was crushed between two cars whllo atemptlng to board a train for New- York. It was then that Gibbs uttered hl3 prophecy, and to-morrow-he will be burled. The "Twenty-one Club" Is now reduced to four, who firmly bellava that their end will come violently. G. A. It. Special.

When his rider cased 11m he quit running. j Then Gllinore came along with Love s Xnbor, who was tired nnd stasscring. Though this ;ontender was running :n the track center. Gllmoro dragged 'lltn in itgalnst Wall, who was on tho rail. The big 3-year-olcl and his big rider lurnb-red gainst the l.ttle 2-year-old and the minia uro mant;!kin that sat on his b.ick. Ccm Ing so soon after his ugly fall from Tigris, the shaking ho received from the coniact of Love's Labor scared little Woods so that ha almost fell oft WalL Gllniora let him have another shove for luck and good measure, and it was all over as lar as Wall was concerned. Woods let hi3 head go and tho colt btopped so suddenly that though all thl9 occurred but fifty yards from the finish, every horse In the race teemed to pass him. Love's Labor won, and Go Out, whom Wall hud passed in the su-eicn as a tast treisnt passes a trump. was Becond.

So ii ocveiopea. ine uuie lau was an ou: ui the end. but stuck to it gamely. fMMng the early season and the class of. Ku opponents into consideration. Wall rail the Dest i2-year-oid race that bus been eeen In America for many a day. Ho U trained by his owner, Mr. Darden, who Is but an amateur horseman. AS all Is a bay Is rather bl:gr than the general run of his breeding. fcand, strangely enough, ho i not a Kood runner in tne mud. The nro- a n-,lrt T.rt eny of his lre has been noted for tneir tck of elzo and mud-running capabilities. Mr. Darden seems to have a verv promis ing Derby horse In this fellow. After tho raoe Judge llurphy had Gilmore up in tho stand for fouling Wall, but beyond a warn ing, took no action. Take off your hat to "Jonesey's" Jockey, Sir. Van Dusen, H put up the ilnest ride of the yaar oo The Barrister. At the stretch top the horse was In fourth position, hemmed In by a solid wall of horse flesh, composed of Grantor. Miss Bramble and 2ed Wlckes. This compact bunch hung to- ether like grapes on their tendrils. Van luaen could not go through, neither could he pi around. The Barrister was full of run. Fifty yaxdi out Van Dusen saw Hlnkey on Grantor edge a bit from the pole. He drove The Barrister's head into It in a jiffy. IIlLkey U cot a Sloan, and he allowed Van Duson to edge him away, bit by bit. For fifty yards The Barrister almost ran on the rail, bo close wai he to it. When The Bar Tlatw finally got his quarters free he shot away like a rocket. Hlnkey should have won It on Grantor, but he was evidently thinking about Miss Bramble's lameness. V&n Dusen Is entitled to all praise for his Una effort. The sand, dust and wind Etorra which came up after the fifth raco caused quite a commotion In the stand. Nearly ail tho rvvomen present had been through the cy clone and had vivid remembrances of It. The dust from the streets and track quite obscured the sun, and semidarkness pre vailed. It enolled bettlnsr on the last race to a Very great extent. Hence the bookmakers were the keenest sufferers through the dem- onstratlon of the elements. Miss Theresa, who was 40 to 1 last time I out, and missed .cashing when Tigris threw J.. T. Woods, who was to have ridden her, Wfl a 1 to 2 favorite In the first race. She galloped all tho way. Albert F. Dewey, a false alarm In the way of a "hot thing," ran second and Deloralne third. Terralene was away the beBt of the big lot In the second. Heeder rodo her IHy. Ehe was all but left at the peat and then ran second, beaten tor rst place by a noso. Oilmore gave Percy .1. a hustling ride all the way. Diana Fonso ran a very poor tace. Ida Ledford was a false favorite against Gotobed. but the pt'bllo would have It that way. The big orse won easily, running, as usual In the stretch. In (he final event Glen Lake, who is In great shape Just now, ran like a wild horse and won as he plfsed. Prince Real, who was backed ha- never could get to him.

Threo good races made up to-day's card at the Readville track In the circuit meeting, and they were races worth seeing full of exciting brushes and several whipping finishes. The big event for speed was the 2:05 pace, which the Med ford, Mass., black gelding. Royal R. Shel don, won In easy fashion in 2:07 and Soy, the latter figure clipping his record half a second. The chief race for tha bookmakers was the 2:14 class, which went to seven heats, and was won by the Mason Farm gelding, John T., because his driver had played a sharp trick, in the opinion of the judges, on the big field in the early heats. For this Driver Dore was fined $100 after John T. had won, because he had laid up the geld ing in tho second heat, and again in the I tniru neai alter naving Deen warned. Tne I third heat was one that benefited the pub- lie, Wlnola having been the favorite, with u wwjiucmuiu ituuu& lunuru Cluney Pointer. Then, after tho fourth heat, John T. al most became prohibitive. His backers, how ever, lost In tho sixth, but, as tt proved, tho gelding had the strength to win the deciding heat just when his chances looked forlorn.

Mr. Woods, the father of the boys of that name who have been riding at the Fair Grounds this sca&on, was very reluctant about allowing his boy Jimmlo to v ride Wall yesterday. "I fear he was so used up with his three-mile light with Tigris, the heat and subsequent fall on Tuesday, that ho will be of no use to you," said Mr. Woods to Mr. Darden. "I'll take my chances with him," replied the lucky owner of tho good 2-year-old. Mr. Woods was risht. The hoy was not at all himself. Had ho been. Wall would have won. Speaking of tho youth's fall from Tigris, caused by a stirrup breaking-, Mr. Woods said: "I do not know how it came about that we failed to find that the stirrup wus almost broken through. I bought that stirrup in 1831 and paid the very highest price, for It was guaranteed of the best possible imported material. It must liavo been caught be tween a horso and the rail some time and cracked. Than the rust got In its work and when the boy used It roughly trying to hold Tigris It gave way. It made me very migry. for I use only the best material nnd I emplov only the best valets In the country for my boys. Hereafter I am going to have till material tested before the races my sons ride."

New York, Aug. 23.-For the second tlmo within two months Oscar Gardner, tho "Omaha Kid," and Joo Bernste n of this city met in the ring of tho Broadway Ath letic Club to-night. On the former occasion Bernstein was disqualified for butting In tho eighteenth round, and to-night he was ugaln disquali fied.

For tho first Umo In many moons things broke good for St. Louis yesterday. Chi cago appeared to have them walloped when old Jupiter Pluvius turned loose and tho players had to hunt for shelter. If ho had hold off a few minutes longer the game would have been lost to St. Louis. The storm came up when St. Louis went to the bat in hor half of the fifth inning. It was dark when Robinson stepped to the plato and uncorked a good swat to left for a base. Then Hughcy went to bat. The wind had commenced to whoop her up at this time and it was apparent that the Inning would not be finished. At this point Manager Hellbronner, aided by his able lieutenant, John McGraw, who does things in a managerial line but does not wish the title, made a wise move. That is. It might have proved to he a good trick if tho rain had held off a few minutes. Hughey can neither hit the pipe nor the ball. He Is not (supposed to, for he is a pitcher and a good one, too. In a pinch such as this he would no doubt have glveu a club-swinging exhi bition that would make Uua Hill blush. So Jimmy, after making one desperate effort to connect with tho curve, wmch proved fruitless, was culled to tho bench and Mique Donllti, who has nerve, confidence, good eye, good swing and everything else that goes to make a good batter, wus sent to the rubber. The callfornlan stalked up to tho plato as though he was going to replace the sig nature of Nick Young on tne hall with tnat of Mlque Donlln. He had two ciiancc-a, but nnsseu tne nrst. The next time he Just touched the ball, and It fiew Duck und lanaed on Chance's forehead. The .orces oi the blow broke the skin, and whllo the wind paddiat was laid up for repairs tne rain commenced to tall, und then mere was a tall scramble for the high brush. Umpire Swartwood, after wuiung the neces&ury half hour, declared the game off. While It lasted it was exciting. Plenty of good baseball was played. Also some bad. Hughey was on the slab for St. Louis. Dur ing the five innings, the visitors cunnecttrd Barely seven times, and tbe clouts were terrlnc ones. Cupid Chlius was there strong, with a doublo and triple. Exceptionally fast fielding by Donovan kept the triple trom being stretched into a home run. The wallop wus a timely one, as It enabled two runs to cross the plate. It was the best break that SL Louis has had this year against Callahan. The clever Chicago twirltr alwuys couid and always did beat the Cardinals. He is a sort of a Jonah to the SL Louisans. They have hit him hard at times, but it appears to bo un ulmost impossible task to beat him. Calla han was clouted hard in tho fourth inning yesterday. Three hits and a base on balls netted St. Louis two runs. Kefstcr's swat to the left-field bleachers was a "beaut." It sent Heldrlck across the plate. Billy was left, as McGann was an easy victim for Chllds and Ganzel. Tne Official 8core. ST. LOUIS. AB. R. 111. O. A. E.

Ila.ielmll Men Do Not Want tbe St. Louis Job. Although Mr. F. de Haas Roblson has ap parently divided the oneroua duties of nis team management between MugsY. tne Milesian, and Hellbroncr, the Hittlte, a rare and effective combination of Irish agility and TIt'brnvv nrmnil sprmn. it 13 plain Uldt he Is at present scouting for a manager. .Mr. Robison will find before ho is through that he has undertaken i rather uuncuii. Job. At present there 13 hardly a man in tlje field who would tuko this responsjolntj with McGraw on tho team. The Baltl morean is too big a man to play teconu fiddle to any one. and no team will succeed while he is in this role. No baseball man will attempt to tell McGraw wnat to do. and as ball players are Jealous mortals they will not accept orders unless McGraw does. It has been said by peope who know that Pat Donovan was offered the management of the St. Louis team. Donovan nlways did well with the Pittsburg team whilo he was at the head. Ho Is a student of the game, and, like McGraw, a natural leader. How ever, he would not take a chance with the St. Louis club. It is in the rut. The play ers are hard to handle. The season is near an end, and Donovan figured that he would be foolish to take command now when the players are all diBgruntled over their 111 success. With Donovan out of tho way. It Is hard to find a man on whom Mr. Roblson could palm off the managership. Buck Ewing is out of a Job. But then Buck has had too many hard experiences with losing teams, and It is hardly probablo that he will tako a chance with another. Even at that, it Is nnt iiicpIv th.it the 1ob will bo offered to Ewing, a3 ho ha3 been unsuccessful of late years. Possibly Mr. Robison will dia up some leader from one of the minor leagues. Things certainly cannot run as they are at present. Heilbroner's title is that of business manager. Still ho sits on the bench. The owners or the club say that McGraw has full charge of the team on the field; that he can shift It about as he pleases, change pitchers, catchers, Infleld ers, and do as he likes with the team. But McGraw refuses to take this authority. He says that when Tebeau resigned he told Mr. Roblson that he would place tho bat teries for the team. But further than that ho says positively that he will not act. This really leaven tho team without a lead er. Hellbroner ia business manager and McGraw is captain. Who is the manager of the team? Maybe Mr. Roblson will answer the question In person when he returns, by presenting to the SL Louis public a real, live manager, who is willing; to take the re sponsibility. Pat Dlllard, who was recently released by the St. Louis club to the Chicago Amer ican League club, refuses to join Comls key's team. Pat has a ticket to Chicago in his pocket, but says that he will not use It, as he claims ho 13 getting tne worst 01 tho deal. He says that by going to the American League he will lose almost a whole month's pay, as tho season In that league ends before the National. He also says that as tho SL Louis club has a string to him, it should recall him after the Amer ican Leacue season is ended and pay hlra until the National League season closes. Mr. Stanley Roblson denies emphaUcally that the St. Louis club has a string to Dll lard. "Dillard was released outright to the Chicago club. He was anxious to get out of the National League, as he said himself that he thought he could do better In the American League, as the company Is not as fast as that in the National. We secured him a berth In the Chtcaxo club, which will in all probability win the pennant, and se cured him transportation. For the life of me I cannot see where he has a kick com ing. J think ho is indeed a lucky man to secure a position with a wlnnlne club after belns released." McGraw made his reappearance at the third corner yesterday. He la not yet' strong, but is tired of sitting on the bench. It was a nice stop he made of Ryan's mean grounder in the first Inning. It was a hot ono and Mac had to scoop It out of the dirt. Chllds announces positively that this will be his last year In baseball. He intends to go Into business in Baltimore. It is said that the palms of Cupid's hands are fluffy and that he cannot grasp a ball as he did in his younger days. This will not bold good with any one who saw the diminutive becond-sacker handle himself, the balls and bat yesterday. He covered an acre of ground, dug Into the earth after hard lin ers, and at the bat he easily led his team. Childs is not the hardest hitter on the Chi cago team, but ho gets ono hit or more in every game. On the bags he appeared to have his usual speed. Pat Tebeau was in the stand, and he rooted hard for his old team. "Mr. Robison offered me a bos alongside his when ha accepted my resignation," remarked Pat, "but I refused, saying that I would much rather sit hack in the crowd, where I would havo a chance to root for the boys. 1 will not miss many games. While I am out of the game for good, I will always be an ardent admirer of tho SL Louis team." Jimmy Ryan has donned tha spangles again and is looking as young as ever. He has not changed a bit In ten years. His eye and arm are as good as ever, and but few men In the League hold the Chicago Captain safe in a foot race. "Callahan Is a natural ball player." re marked Hugh S. Fullerton, a Chicago news paper man traveling with the team. "For a pitcher ho is a marvel on the bags, at the bat and In the field. In fact, he can hold his own doing anything with nine teen out of twenty of the League players. When his arm gives way I think ho will make an ideal first baseman. He has the size, tho grit, is a sure catcher of a thrown ball and would cover a world of ground In that corner." Chicago and SL Louis will play a post poned game to-day. Griffith and Chance will hold down tho points for Chicago, while Young and Criger will officiate for SL Louis. "I see that Tim Hurst Is as rich as ever in baseball lore," remarked Clark Griffith yeBterday after reading a funny story In which the noted umpire was the central figure. "As long as I live I wlU never for get a game which he umpired In Chicago one year. Pittsburg was playing thero and Bill Lange wn3 playing firsL Whenever there was a man on the bag Bill would bump him, pull his clothes and bother him in many different way3. The Pirates kept running ,up to Tim and registering klck3 about Bill's unfair tactics. Finally I heard him say to one of them: "I can't whip that big guy. You go over and soak him in the ear. You aro a bigger man than I am." Well, this set the Plttsburgers, mad as they were, to laughing, and there were no more kicks to Tim about Lange. Hurst is certainly one of the greatest wits In the game and a first-class umpire, too." Donlln was around yesterday behind a flash as large as your fist and incased in a mackintosh of a yellow huo with pearl buttons the slzo of a saucer. "Why, It 13 a cinch that McGraw will bo hero next year," remarked a Cincinnati player to J. Ed Grilto. "I watched him carefully while we were in SL Louis, and I saw a great deal which led me to believe that the deal had been all fixed up. Why, when we struck the hotel. McGraw was there, giving us the glad hand. I talkoi with him. and he knew all about our team. He seemed familiar with the smallest de tail. He knew the weakness of this player and the strength of the other. He knew a great deal more than he could learn in tho newspapers. I was struck by the great in terest Mac took In everything pertaining to the Reds. He was always willing to talk nbout the Reds, but shrugged his shoulders whenever the St. Louis bunch was men tioned. Incidentally. I remarked to him that, as Allen intended to resign the man agement, there ought to be a good opening for him In Cincinnati. He replied: That Is true; that Is the place to get the money next year, I think. A few changes would make a strong team of the Reds.' "WeU, now, sum all that together. Colonel Brush was over there for a week, you know, and what conclusion can you come to? Why, there ain't nothing: to IL 'Mug gsy' will be one of us next season. Tha thing is all fixed up now. and It will be sprung in tho winter. See If I ain't right!"

Titzsiminon3 and Sharkey! Sporting events of pith and mo ment arc soon forgotten in galloping times llko the present, but the mention of these j two names Brings oacic a t-ctiiu "mi m lio long In memory with thoso who wit nessed It. It is the night of December 2. ISM Me chanics' 1'avllion, San Francisco, is packed from cupola to cellar, and likewise from truck to keelson. Never before or since In the history of pugilism has such a vast crowd hemmed In a prize ring In the city by the "long wash." A tall, lreckled fighter and a chunky fel low, with a ship tattooed on his breast, stand sullenly in their corners. Martin Julian is tearing frantically around the res Ined platform, registering objections to Wyatt Earp, acting as referee. Julian sajs that he has "heard things" during the day. Tho otter sido Insists, and Fitzslmmons and Julian aro talked into "taking a chance." A tall 'man. with a drooping mus tache, s'louldcrs ringward through tho throng. At the steps leading to tho roped inclosure, he la accosted by a Captain of rolicc- A murmur ripples oer tho crowd as tho UJl man. on demand, hands out a revolver as big as a field piece. The tall man is Wyatt Earp. He takes his place In the ring. Ho Is as cool as an Icicle. Then follows a one-sided fight of eight rounds and a finishing punch, which seems to land in the pit or the stomach. The Sailor Is writhing on the tloor. "Fitz slmmons wins!" Is wafted to the multitude on tho street, and Is quickly followed by the correction, "Sharkey wins on a foul!" Thin the aftermath. Sharkey got tho purse and Fltzsimmons the sympathy which Is always extended to a man who is believed to bo the ictlm of a rascally plot. May lie a Grudge Fight. And now they aro to meet again. Well, It they Indulge In reminiscences 'tween rounds, to-morrow night's, mill may acquire the as pect of a graage fight betore they have been ery long at it Time has wrought many changes in the pugilistic bituation since the Sailor and tho Cornlshman clashed on tho coast. Fltzsim mons won tha world's championship and lost it again. Sharkej, although defeated a few times, has maintained bis right to bo regarded as a championship possibility. If to-morrow nlgnt were Fitzsiinmons's first light In a long time, references would be made to the "handicap of jcarB." But the Cornlshman showed recently that ho is ntlll young enough to take care of a strap ping brulEer like Ruhlln. and as a conse quence tho ai erase wlso man Isn't so sure that Sharkey's age advantage counts for much. Another thing Is that some doubt exists as to the Inroads made on Sharkej 's stock of vitality by successive beatings. Nothing igC3 a man ho quickly as hardsnip, and tho Sailor has enduied more hardships probably than any two heavy weights in the business during the past four jear3. Many of thoso who consider Fltzsimmons a 10-to-6 favorite seem to believe that tho fiercer tho paco at the outset the better it will be for Sharkey. Tha argument prin cipally used in support of this -view Is that Fltzsimmons left himself well open in the first round of his go with liuhhn, and that if he displays similar tactics with the Sailor he is liable to jump into a knock-out punch. Ono Is led to Infer from this stylo of reasoning that if Fltzsimmons worries through a couple of rounds he will have passed the danger point that tho Sailor's best bolts will be shot and that the Cor nlshman' s chances of winning vill Improve right along. Jfot So Wide Open. To those who have watched Fltzsimmons in other fights, the fact that he appears "wide open" In the early uirt cf a contest isn't proof positive that ho Is either rattled or careless. He was more open in his match with Mahcr, down on the Rio Grande, than ho was in the Ruhlln affair, jet ho was there with a knock-out punch tho mo ment Maher left an opening. Still, it may have been excitement moro than trlcklne&s which cauoed Fitzslmmons to put up the slovenly defense In the early rounds of the Ruhlln fight. Perhaps ho couldn't withstand Kuhlln's initiative to make a slugging bee of it. Ho may do the same with Sharkey, and if he does It will be dangerous for him. The Sailor has been trained so as to step into the ring In shapo to put up a smash ing fight. Ho says he was overtrained for Ruhlln. He can make no such excuse this time. Fit and well, he is one of tho hardest men in the ring to subdue. His record Is made up of bruising battles with the heaviest punchers In the business. He has profited by his many buffetlngs. He knows now to get to close quarters now and busy himself while there. He has an overhand punch with the right that will deaden tho tenses If It lands squarely, and his other list does not deal out love taps. But, compared to the man he Is to meet, he has comparatively few arrows In his quiver. That Is one of the reasons the Cornlshman Is a strong favorite. Another Is that Lanky Bob is never so far gone but that he can deliver a knock-out blow. Ho docs not need room to draw back Ills arm at that. Twelve inches Is all his glove re quires to tiavel in order to drop tho big gest giant that ever crunched resin. Tho puzzlkig part of it all Is the manner in which Fltzsimmons continues to veil his intentions until tho fateful moment arrive1. Tho finish of nearly every fight he engages In is sensational. It may truly be said of him that he never lets his right hand know what his left is doing. To-morrow night's battle will put one man on the shelf so far as the championship is concerned. Which will It be the farrier or the tar? CORBCTT TICKS FITZ. They lilt Equally Hard, bnt Bob Is More Accurate Than Tom. BY JAMES J.

The Cornlshman. liowcvei. will have a much harder battle than ho had with Ituhlln. and will have to fchovv better form than he did In his recent bout. IluhJin was not at his best when he was knocked out and his drawn-out stjle, which just suited the ex-champion, enabled him to carry oX tho honors moro than an j thing else. Fitzslmmons did not make any great showing, although he won. but this was probably due to his long absence from tho iltig. His light with Huhlin may have put him back im.o hii true loim, and If so he will make bhort work of the sailor. Sharkey is a good, rough lellow, with a dangerous punch, and Fitzsimmons will have to display some of his former skill to defeat his opponent. Although I pick Fltz bimmons to win, I don't think that Sharkey hasn't a chance. In the language of tne prize ring. I think he has a good fighting chance." A man with Sharkey's endurance and re cuperative powers Is a dangerous opponent against anj- man until he is counted out, for ho ilways seems to have that mighty punch In reserve.

First news of each round and of the result. clever, when he enters the ring, but this, I think, is impolble for him to do. He is too anxious to reach his opponent, and when he faces Fitzslmmons he will abandon his cleverness and return to his rough tactics. If Sharkej does rcort to his wild, slam bang stjle, then Fitzslmmons will have a good chance to get in his tine work earl in the contest. Sharkey is not likely to win from a chance wallop, as the Cornlshman It. too cunning and is alwajs on the a(eit. Sharktj's chance to win. 1 believe, is to make a stand-off light and force his oppo nent to assume the aggressive. This would bring Fitzslmmons to close quarters and enable Sharkey to send in his strong right and left to advantage. There is little choice between the men so far as their hitting powers are concerned, but. to me, Fltzsimmons' s delivery is more accurate, and in the long run more ef fective than Sharkej 's.

Although to-morrow night's battle has aroused some enthusiasm among the sporting fraternltj-, there has been little betting on tho outcome of the contest. While there is a difference of opinion among the leading sports of tho cltj, neither side seems anxious to wager on the battle, preferring to look wise and enjoy tho contests, no matter which waj- the de cision goes. Several small wagers havo been made, but the hcavj- bettors who generallj have thousands on their favorite, have re frained from posting even a small wager. According to figures quoted, Fitzsimmons Is a to 1 favorito over the Sailor, hut there are few found willing to tako these odds. Most of tbe big sports of this city like ntzsimmons's chances, and those who aro piepared to back the Cornishman havo tound It dlfllcuult to get takeis at any price.

The lad has been on the sick list ever since the New Orleans meeting. His poor showing In the saddle. It is now known, has been due altogether to his fail ing health. First he was troubled with neuralgia, then an abscess developed In his ear and at Washington he caught cold as a result of overtraining. He was warned then to stop riding, but he recovered some what and resumed work. Just before the BrUhton meeting he caught cold again and declined ?o rapidlj that his friends feared he was going into consumption. Clawson, how ever, was1 back in tho saddle In less than a week, but his efforts to keep down to weight further im paired his health and ho is now said to bo In worse condition than ever. He was at the Saratoga track yesterday and the turf correspondent of the Evening Telegram of this city sajs he looked to J be a mere shadow of his former self and that it was only with the aid of a eane that he could walk around. Clawson lode the Futurity winner. L'Alouette, In 1S37, and had an ambition to repeat the performance this jear with All Gieen. His illness and the going wrong of several of the Futurity candidates will (probablj lnllucr.ee the numerical strength of ihe Futurity held on fc.ituidij". B common consent. It has been felt that the millionaire turfmen, Messrs. James R. Keene and Win. C. Whitney, held the Fu turity safe this jear. With Cap and Bells, Oljmpian, Tommy Atkins and Noonday, Mr. Kceno certainly has a strong string and. If the stories of the trouble with Mi. Whitnej's horse ho true, the statement of a professional turfman that the crowd at Sheepshead on Saturdaj- "will see nothing coming out of the chute but white and blue spots" tho polka dot of Mr. Keene maj prove to be only too true, although thcio aro several other joungsters entered, anj' one of which maj- unexpectedly develop championship form. It is an axiom of the turf, nnd, especially of these high-class events, that the public favorite Ls a false favorite, and while this may not be so In the c.use of Mr. Keene, the fact that he has so many horses en gaged may result in confusion of orders which will lose him the race. Mr. Keene's people, however, do not take that view, and, with Spencer on Olympian, the stable followers believe that Mr. Keene cculd afford to scratch the others without endangering his prospects. The best of the Whitney entries are Elk horn and Prince Charles, and the story to night Is that both have gone wrong. This may be. and probably is, an exaggeration. The facts could not be had to-night. In any case, the Tuturlty field will be suf ficiently large to insure a fine race, and It goes without sajing that one of the larg est crowds of the jear wil be on hand. For the Futurity Is quite as popular with me tropolitan turf-gores as the Suburban, which is run earlier in the jear over the samo course. STILL A MYSTERY. Seeking a Clew to Express Package Robbery.

It is essential that all Democratic club organizations in Missouri desiring rep resentation at the quadrennial National Convention of Democratic Club3 to be held in Indianapolis on October 3 to next shall promptly apply for enroll ment in the national association. Application for blanks to this end may be made either to Doctor James V. "Whipple, treasurer of the Missouri As sociation of Democratic Clubs, No. 2S1C Iocust street, St. Louis, or to 51. F. Ihmsen, secretary of the National As sociation of Democratic Clubs, No. 1370 Broadway, New York City. Prompt at tention will be paid to such requests at cither the State or national headquar ters. In a circular of recent date signed by Mr. Bryan, Mr. Stevenson and Chair man Jones of the Democratic National Committee, the duty of organizing Democratic campaign clubs was clearly pointed out Following such organiza tion comes the further duty of meinbcr ebip in the national body. There is a vast amount of good work possible to euch clubs, and to assute the best and most effective work there must be a systematic organization and manage ment. It is earnestly to be hoped that the Democratic elubs of Mis-souri will take prompt action along the lines in dicated. SHOULD BE A WARNING. The exhibition given by a mob in (Akron, O., should stand a waining monument for all time to come. Two Innocent persons killed, twenty-one per sons injured and the city buildings, to gether with the public records, de stroyed, v.-as the record of that out break. Ttat the mob accomplished nothing of the remotest benefit to the community goes without saying. No mob ever did, even when it put to death the object of its wrath. The Akron mob did nit even have this sorry satis factlon. Cincinnati Is still, after twenty years, deploring the Berner iiots which de stroyed ita public buildings and its icc ords. Thero was more justification for the mob outbreak in Cincinnati than for that in Akron. In Cincinnati tiagiaut crimes had passed unpunished through the faithlessness of the authorities. There was nothing of the kind in Akron. There was every indication that the law was amply able to adequately punish the heinous offense which eaused the uprising. Akron citizens will thank the city of ficials for keeping the mob from getting possession of the man whose crime caused the riot. The foresight and promptness of the authorities saved the city from one stain at least. FLORY'S WAY. In the completeness with which Mr. Dockery at Sedalia answered anil cor rected certain statements made by Mr. Flory, relating to the charges of ex travagance preferred against the last State Legislature, there is lotind addi tional proof of the Republican nominees proneuess to loose and inaccurate as sertions bearing on facts so accessible that there is no excuse for ignorance. 5Ir. Docker- showed that, instead of costing the State of Missouri "ncarlv SoOO.OOO," as charged by Flory, the las't Legislature concluded its session of KW days at a total cost to the taxpayers of $30o,3S9.4l). He demonstrated the in correctness, of Flory's assertion that the average daily expenses of the Legisla ture were ?3,300 by bhowing from the records that for the pay of jmcinbors and clerks the average daily expenses were but $2,431.64, while, with the cost of printing, per diem and mileage In cluded, the- total daily cost of the Legis lature was but $2,62S.70. Finally, not ing Flory'n charge that the last State Legislature had a force of 5S1 employes on the paj' rolls, Mr. Dockery showed, again froai the records, that there were 21S clerks and employes in tho Senate and 245 in the House, a total of 4C3, or IIS less than was asserted by Flory in his astoundlngly inaccurate assault. The Republic calls atteutiou to these facts as being consistent with Flory's established record for inaccuracy of statement. It does not claim that the last State Legislature was as economical as was possible in a full performance of its duties, but it does claim that the per sonnel of the Democratic candidates for the next Legislature assures both an economical and capable session. And. in the meantime. It certainly commends the ability with which Mr. Dockcry has corrected Mr. Flory for a series of blun dering and reckless misstatements sin gularly alike in a tendency to create a i false impression favorable to Mr. Flory's party in the present campaign. TO DEFEND EMPIRE. In the Interests of consistency it is to be hoped that Governor Roosevelt was speaking with authority wnen he said recently that President McKiuley's let tec accepting the Republican renoinina tion for the presidency would be devotid to a defense of his policy of imperial ism. Whatever the President shall choose to say to the people in accounting for his uuamerican course of the past two years will be heard with due attention and respect. It would more than please Americans to learn that Mr. McKlnley has simply been honestly mistaken in his lepudiation of the teachings of greater Americans, that he has not been led to an abandonment of such teach in cs by a false ambition even moie per ilous to his country than to himself. "While it is not likely that the Presi dent's defense of imperialism shall com mend that policy to a free and liberty loving people it is certain that Ameri cans will listen in all charity to the President's statement of his personal views of that lsue. If Mr. McKinley were as brave a man as old Andrew Jackson, or as sincere a friend of the people and champion of popular government as Thomas Jeffer son or Abraham Lincoln, his letter of acceptance to be issued next September would be such as to endear him beyond measure to his countrymen. In that letter he would tell the American peo ple that he had been fooled or coerced by the monopolistic trusts operating throuch Mark Hauua itito favoring and furthering the trust dtcam of Em pire. He would confess that it was the powerful influence of the Suwir and To bacco Trusts which led him to reverse himself on the Porto Ricau tariff ques tion and to use his strongest efforts for the fastening of an infamous tariff tax on the helpless Porto Ricaus. lie would acknowledge that it was trust influence which led him to repudiate the Ameri can Monroe Doctrine and Declaration of Independence in acquiring territory In the Eastern Hemisphere and in govern ing by force and without their consent the people of the Philippines. He would frankly explain that it was the greed of the trusts which demanded the annexa tion of Cuba and the violation of our solemn pledge for Cuban independence. Having stated these facts, he would then declare himself unwilling to con summate the act of betrayal of Ameri can principles thus insisted upon by the trusts in behalf of Empire, and would aligu himself on the side of the people and the old Republic. It Is not likely, however, that Mr.(Mc Kinley will do this thing. He will prob ably enter a defense of his policy of im perialism as being compelled by "mani fest destiny." Ho will insist that the Lord God Almighty shall accept the re sponsibility for an American President's faithlessness to freedom and the creed of freedom. He will probably attempt to show that there is big money in im perialism. All of which will but sliaiie the American people and make more ir revocable the verdict against Empire which they must render at the polls in November in order to save the old Re public from destruction. PREACHED GOOD DOCTRINE. Chauncey Depew preached good Democratic doctrine when he declared in an interview in Loudon: "The United States, with 3,000 miles of ocean be tween them and European complica tions, will never take a militant part in tlie rivalries, jealousies and wars of Europe. These very miseries, the wais. make the United States every year strouger as a iinancial center of tho orld." This Is the doctrine which was enun ciated by Washington and on which Americans have always laid great stress, but it is not the doctrine fol lowed by the McKinley administration. The constant effort of that administra tion has been to entangle the United States in the policies of Europe. As Chauucey Depew points out. the best interest of the United States is in keeping out of European entanglements and attending strictly to home business. The interest of the United States lies in selling and loaning to European coun tries when the war spirit in them be comes uncontrollable. Establishing a colony on the other side of the earth, as the McKinley ad ministration pioposcs to do in the Philippines, is not in consonance with this policy. It is certain that with in dependence in the Philippines and friendly relations existing between them and the United States, the trade be tween the two countries would be much more advanced than if those islands were converted into a colony of chronic insurrection and irremovable hostility. Without a territorial possession in Eu rope the United States now take a prominent part in the trade of that hemisphere. In Lombard street money lenders talk of the invasion of Ameri can gold; in Sheffield, of the invasion of American steel; in Cardiff, of the in vasion of American coal. Americans can take care of their trade on its merits anywhere on earth. They do not need colonies to help or hinder. WHICH IS AMERICAN? Twelve years ago, when .Mr. Bryan delivered a patriotic Fourth of .luly spcech in Johnson County, Neb., he was asked at its close whether he was a Democrat or a Republican. "They don't have to ask that any more," Mr. Bryan said the other day. "When a man makes a speech In favor of the Declara tion of Independence now, they know he is not a Republican." The explanation of this fact is very simple. The Republican party of the present time is committed to the policy of imperialism, the conquest of weaker peoples and the governing of such peo ples by force against their consent; the definite denial of the right of all peo- pies to national Independence and self- j government. The Declaration of Inde pendence forbids this policy. "When an American nowadays, quoting from the Declaration of Independence, contends that all men are born free and equal and that all just governments must be founded on the consent of the governed, he gives the lie to President McKiuley's claim that 'manifest desti ny" commands us- to withhold freedom from the Filipinos and the Porto Ricans, to govern the former without their eon sent and to subject the latter to a tyiaunical proconsul rule of taxation without representation. The American thus daring to remain steadfast to the trul lis of the Declaration of Independ ence is denounced by administration im perialists as a traitor and a llag-furler. And Republicans in their campaign speeches this year no more dare to quote from the Declaration than from Wash ington's Farewell Address or Lincoln's .immortal prayer at Gettysburg that "government or the people by tho peo ple for the people shall not perish from the earth." Willi the lines thus drawn the Ameri can people must choose in November be tween the Declaiatiou of Independence and McKinley Republicanism. Which of the two stands for the honor and true greatness and safety of tho Re public? The old American bill or rights or the new American creed of Empire? The very existence of the Republic de pends upon the choice now to be made by the American people. TRUSTS ARE PLEASED. It would be nmusiug, were it not so humiliating, to note the patronizing manner In which Ross Hanna, the in strument of the trusts in public life and the manipulator of Mr. McKinley in the White House, takes occasion to coin mend the President's administration of national affairs under his guidance. This strain of complacent patronage was especially marked in the speech de livered by Hanna at Asbury Park last Tuesday. The R03S was most generous in his expressions of commendation of Major Mack. It was not left open to doubt that Mr. McKinley had doue everything for Hanna's employers, the monopolistic trusts, that it was possible for a man in his position to do. The trusts were satisfied with their willing servant in the White House. Boss Han na voiced their satisfaction in unctuous terms. It is doubtful, however, whether the people at the polls in November will ex press a corresponding decree of satis faction with Mr. McKiuley's discharge of his duties as President of the United States. Under his control of the Gov ernment the trusts have attained gi gantic power and influence. The Ameri can people feel the evil results- in the shape of higher prices for all the neces saries of life, the destruction of com petition and individual enterprise in business, the arbitrary control of labor, the increase of legislation granting ad ditional privileges to the trusts by sacrificing the rights of the people. They know also that it is trust influence which has led to the President's adop tion of a policy of imperialism of faial menace to free institutions. Fearing these great evils of Trustism and Imperialism, the American people are more than likely to agree with Mark Hanna in November in a way singularly distasteful to that insolent Boss. They will agree that Mr. McKinley has, in deed, been a good and faithful Presi dent from the trust point of view. But for that very reason they will vote to remove him and his party from power in the Government. They want a President for all the people not ex clusively for the trusts. In the railroad lien scandals of 1SG3 70 the people of Missouri lost over $10, 000,000 through the thievery of the Re publican party, then In power. Once is enough for us at that figure. And Ziegeuheinism shows that the party is the same now as then. When you study tho rotten Republic an record in Jefferson City some thirty years ago, and the rotten Republican record In St. Louis at the present day, you discover that the party remains true to Its rottenness. Colonel Joe Flory's errors of state ment concerning the expenses of the last State Legislature would seem more accidental were they not in every in stance inaccurate at the expense of the Democratic party. Republicanism's campaign emblem, the workingman's dinner-pail, won't w.n the workingman's vote. That stuidy American knows that lie's entitled to more than his mere food for his labor. Colonel Flory might present affidavits from men who do not know that he worked in place of a striking switchman during the railroad strike of 1883. He could get large numbers of these. Had the Trusts- of the" United States been entered in an international com petition at the Paris Exposition they would easily have carried off the Gnind Prix over any nation on earth. McKinley, Hanna and the Trusts make a strong combination, but they are not quite powerful enough to fasten themselves on this country for another four years. When an insolent party Boss begins talking about "perpetuating" a national administration it becomes imperatively necessary for the people to make a change. On behalf of the trusts Mark Hanna, in his Asbury Park speech, gave .Mr. Mc Kinley a "good character." But will the trust recommendation go with the peo ple? It isn't so remarkable, after all, that China, "the jellyfish of nations," should now be found drifting along without a head. Keep the Issues of 1000 plainly in sight the Republic against the Empire; the People against the Trusts. The Democrat. Ho hnlfTs the battle from afar. The old-lime Democrat; Upon hla breast Ih many it scar. He neer thinks of that; But where the light Is fought and won. He speeds him to the fore. Ah all true Democrats havo done These hundred years and more! It stirs his soul to know the truth And glory of his creed; That from his country's earliest jouth He comes of Freedom's breed; And now, agalnnt an Empire's might. Its plot of shame and sin. He arms for the Republic's fight, in Freedom's name to win! RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. THE ASSASSINATION OF TOE

KERENS MADE AKINS POSTPONE MEETING. Republican Rally at Sedalia Now Set for September 4 State Cliairimiii Is Hot. BILLY MASON IS MUZZLED. Senafoi' From Illinois Not Per mitted to Address Alissourians Governor Shaw of Iowa Will Be His Substitute. The opening gun of tho Republican cam paign in Missouri, unless otherwise ordered, will be fired on September 4. instead of tho 1st, as previously announced. This was finally arranged yesterday by Chairman Altlr.s. Xational Committeeman Kerens scored one on Chairman Akins of tho State Com mittee, and effectually pet all his plans awry. This is a, deep 'disappointment to Chairman Akins. When that gentleman in sisted that the campaign be opened on the dato selected by the Executive Committee of the Stato Committee it was without the knowledgo or authority of Mr. Kerens. There Is a lack of harmony between tho two which grew out of the Philadelphia Convention. Mr. Akins made strenuous efforts to se cure speakers of national reputation. They were futile. Ho couldn't muster a speaker outside the State who was known to more than half a dozen Republicans. He kept the wires to National Committee lieadituartera In Chicago hot with messages. All to no purpose. The replies were all' to the effect that speakers could not be secured on the date set by the chairman. Then Mr. Akins began to boil with indignation. Last Sun day's Republic's announcement of the fact that tlie rally must be postponed almost threw him into a (It. It looked as if he could not deliver the goods, and that is Just what happened. Advertising matter had been sent broad cast announcing tne meeting for the 1st. The hall at Sedalia had been rented, and every preparation made for the meeting. Yesterday morning he gave out with em phasis that the meeting would not be post poned. Then ho began to talk over tlie long-distance telephone to Mr. Kerens, who was in Chicago. No phonograph record wa:i made of the convocation, but a part ot it is reported as follows: "I have already announced Senator Masnn as one of the speakeis," said -Mr. Akins, at the St. Louis end of tho wire. "Well. 1 can't help it, Mr. Akins. Tho National Committee has withdrawn Mr. Mupon lrom tho campaign on account of his anti-imperialistic idtus. He can't speak at Sedalia," lesponded Mr. Kerens. "Can't you send somebody down for us?" "Not on the 1st of September. They all have other dates, and, so far as securing Roosevelt now, that is out ot tho question." "Uut wo havo the bills out and thu hall engaged at Sedalia." "If you can put it off until September 4 I can secure Governor Shaw of Iowa for you. The National Committee will pay tlie bills at Sedalia." With that Mr. Kerens rang olT, and Mr. Akins changed the date of the Sedalia meet ing. Senator Mason will positively not ap pear. All day yesterday Mr. Akins was be tween the devil and the deep sea. He changed his mind three times, and there is a possibility that he may change it again. As it is. new advertising matter will nave to be gotten out. Governor Shaw s name, in red letters, will take the place of that ot Senator Mason aa the star orator of tho day. and the Sedalia people will have to be placated In some it ay not down on tho boards. MunnKcrH ICecplnff 3Inson Hack. nEruiiLtc SPECIAL. Chicago, 111., Aug. 23. A persistent rumor was under wide discussion to-night In political circles that Senator VUlliam E. Mason, now on his way home from Alaska, Is not to bo asked to forward the Repub lican cause this year on the stump, for KING OF ITALY: TIIE SCENE IN THE ATHLETIC GROUND AT MONZA. Drawn by G. d'Amato for the London Graphic. the party managers seem of the opinion that the Illinois statesman's convictions on the issues of imperialism do not bear tne administration brand. The Impeachment is denied by ltepub'ic an Nutlonal Committeemen. Senator Ma son has not responded with any too great alacrity to the crack of the party whip In the past, and the evident desire of the machine is to keep his name from bofore the public, in order that his retirement to political oblivion may be the more easily accomplished. National Committeeman R. C. Kerens of Missouri admitted there was trouble over the proposed appearance of the Senator in Missouri, and there is a movement on foot to cancel his engagement. "There is absolutely nothing In the rumor that Senator Mason has been shelved," said Mr. Kerens to-night. "The report undoubt edly sprung from the situation In Missouri, for no arrangements have as yet been made regarding the speakers who will stump for us this campaign. Tho list 13 not made up." Senator Mason is daily expected in Chi cago. He passed through here recently, and said he wus on his way to Alaska, to re main until autumn. It was gnerally under stood he was tent to Alaska to be kept in cola storage, so that his utterances on im perialism would cause tho administration no embarrassment. But the plans of the administration have failed, for Senator Mason is on his way back. DEMOCRATS WATCHING POLLUOOKS. IteiMiliIlrunn Saiil to lie Colonizing OnlHidiTM In Twelfth TMMrlct. Within the Ust three days about 300 vot ers havo registered at the Election Com missioner's office for the city primaries. There is a report cunent that G. W. JJaum hoff had registered ,-i number of the em ploves of the transit company from the Twelfth Congressional District. There may be a tew such registered, but If they are not qualified voters their names will be stricken off the books before the day of th; primaries. The fact that a large number of imported men may try to vote this elec tion will necessitate exceeding watchfulness on tho part of the Democrats In the Twelfth, as well as in other districts. It is said an attempt will be made to colonize the voters la rooming-houses throughout the district, in the interest of the Republican machine. The selections for judges and clerks for the city primaries wll be tiled with the Election Commissioners September 1. So far there is little Indication of any scram ble for nominations among either Demo crats or Republicans. Mil. IMICKIIKYTO 111! IIEHH A WEEK. Xext (iovernor Will Enlarge IIIn Lint of Aeiiimintnncos iu St. Luuin. Arrangements are being perfected by the St. Louis members of the Democratic State Committee for the appearance of Mr. Dockery here next week. The Demo cratic candidate for Governor will spend the entire week In the city. He will visit a number of the business houses and factories and become better acquainted with the peo ple of St. Louis. Most of his speeches will be made at night. During the week, it is expected, he will enlarge his list of acquaintances con siderably and give everybody an opportun ity to shake hands with him. This will be in the nature of an official visit, under the auspices of the State Committee. Chairman Seibcrt Is pleased with he re ports that are constantly coming In from all over the Stato announcing the progress of the work of organization. It Is expected that by September 10 the entire State will be organized In such a manner as It never was before. All letters to the chairman are filled with the most sanguine predictions of a great majority. POLITICAL DEIJATE. Congressman Lloyd Annncrcd Itepnb- licnn ArKumeiilH. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. New London, Mo.. Aug. 3. The llfth an nual picnic at Orrwood was held to-day. On account of a joint political dutcurfsion between Congressman James T. Lloyd and Benjamin F. Russell, the crowd was large. Mr. Lloyd has served one term in Congress and is the Democratic nominee for re-election. Mr. Russell was Speaker of the Mis souri House of Representatives In liO' when that body was Republican, and ho was Sergcant-at-Arms of the Fifty-Ilfth Con gress. He made a partisan Republican speech on Republican prosperity, attribut ing all our prosperity to the McKinley ad ministration. Mr. Lloyd replied in a strong speech In which he answered the pros perity argument and gave his reasons for indorsinc the Kansas City platform. It was a warm debate and greatly enjoyed by the people of Ralls County. Lloyd never spoke in this county betore and his address was a revelation to many. He made many friends for himself and for Democracy. Tipton Given a Game. HKPIIBLIC til'KC'IAL. Tlptcn, Mo.. Aug. 23. Tipton and Green Itidge ball teams played here yesterday anil the gams was forfeited to Tipton by 9 to 0.

MUM ill GARBAGE CONTRACT IS NOT ENFORCED. Chief Sanitary Officer Frauds Says That Collections Are Irregular and Incomplete. RESULT OF HIS INVESTIGATION. Mentions Difficulties in the Way of Compelling Strict Obedience of the Law Household ers Are at Fault. Chief Sanitary Officer Charles W. Fran cis yesterday reported to the Board of Health the result of the garbage nuisanca investigation mado by the corps of inspec tors of the Sanitary Department during the last ten days. The examination included 2.1CS blocks fn the downtown district and 43.GI7 premises. Mr. Francis says ho found 9.3S places where there were no garbage receptacles, 1,333 that had legal receptacles, 0C5 places whore there were legal receptacles not lo cated according to law, and 31,516 places whero the receptacles were worthless and Illegal. Thirty-one per cent of tho house holders havo no receptacles, 72 per cent have illegal receptacles, 4 1-3 per cent have legal receptacles, 5 per cent had legal re ceptacles unlawfully placed, and 6 per cent, or 2.531, had stationary receptacfes. from which collectors are obliged to shovel tho garbage. About 310 tons of garbage nre collected dally this summer. About 270 tons come from private houses and 70 tons from ho tels, restaurants and packing-houses. As only 4Vi per cent of tho householders have legal receptacles, the contractor lawfully could be obliged to collect not more than eleven tons. It Is true, Mr. Francis says, that the con tract is not literally enforced; that garbage Is not removed daily in all parts of the city, and that some alleys are missed ev ery night by tho collectors, but these mis takes, he says, cannot be avoided, because of tho class of laborers employed by the hauling company. In general, he thinks tho Sanitary Department, the Board ot Health and the company have done their duty. The garbage Is well collected, he says, con sidering that so few householders obey the law. If the heatth officers are compelled to make concessions to the company to insuro good service. It is the fault of the citizens themselves. The contract for tho removal of garbage Is made by tho Health Department, as di rected by the Municipal Assembly, and as prescribed by ordinance; therefore, tho Board of Health has no authority to alter the contract. The ordinance, he says, gives the board the power to force the contractor to comply with tho contract, but makes no provisions to compel householders to obey the law. In many cases It Is difficult to de termine whether the company or the citi zens are at fault. He also deprecates tho habit of "tipping" the drivers, as it has a tendency to causo them to neglect other placeB in the block. The district covered by the inspectors is tho territory lying between the Wharf and the western city limits, and between St. tihIk avenue on the north and Chouteau avenue on the south. Between Broadway anu tne river uu wie tesiu" ua uumincu as far iouth as Arsenal street. Illae anil Gray Encampment. KEI'UIILIC SHUCHL. Cabool, Mo.. Aug. 23.

Although an Admission Fee Was Charged, a Bigger Crowd Greeted Him Than Received Yates in Republican Stronghold. Rcpi-rmc srnciAU lecatur. 111, Aug. S!. Somebody is re sponsible for the error in judgment that scheduled Pamuel Alschuler at the Me chanlcsburg Chautauqua to-d.iy. To be sure, his audience was twlco as large as that of Yates last Tuesday at tho same place, but It was wholly Inadequate to com pensate for the presence of tho Democratic candidate. There are about three Republican-; to one Democrat in Jlechanicsburg Township; the grounds are four miles from a railroad sta tion; the village of Buffalo, and last, but not least, an admIsion fee of :5 cents was charged. It was the last dav of the Assem bly, too, and many Republican camners packed tip estorday and moved out. fear ing probably that their prejudices might be overcome by the Alschuler and Todd com bination of eloquence and patriotism. Probably GO campers w ere on the grounds this morning, and I was told TOO paid admis sions were taken in SoO more than piid to see and listen to Mr. Yates on Tucdav. CnnercKKman 'Willlniun'H Speech. The Alschuler-Todd party to-dny was im mensely strengthened by the addition of Congressman Williams of CarmI, who'e logic and argumentative powers heretofore were unknown in Sangamon Countv. Mr. Williams spoke in the forenoon, taking as his texts the gold standard bill of the lat Congress, Imperialism and tho trusts. As a member of the Committee on Insular Af fairs, he possessed an intimate knowledge of the nation's difficulties with its recently acquired assals, and his power of expres sion made easy the task of clearing the cobwebs from the minds of Ills auditors. I know it sounds extravagant, but Brjan himself could give no better or clearer elu cidation of the paraljsis that threatens American institutions. In tho afternoon Mr. Alschuler took cc casion frequently to refer to Mr. Williams's speech and to emphasize tho best points. The Democratic orators held a reception in the forenoon, a somewnat monotonous. Quakcrliko affair, befitting the religious character of the assembly grounds. General Orendorff presided and intro duced Mr. Alschuler as "the man with a record of his own; the roan who stood in tho legislature as a barrier against legis lative corruption and Jobbery." Alxcliulcr 'Vnrinl Itecel el. As the General closed his eulogy and the Democratic champion stepped to the front ho was greeted with liberal applause, which swelled In volume and assumed al most the proportions of an ovation. He modestly disclaimed any speceial creJlt tor his legislative record, sajing ho only did his duty to the people of tho State ar.i his own constituents as he saw It: every conscientious man ought id assume his own responsibilities In whatever position !n life he was placed, and if he acW from hoiust convictions, no fcrecial merit attached to his conduct. He warned his auditors against tho Re publican answer of "rally round the Hag:," to Democratic charges of maladministra tion. "The Issues of this jcar were forced upon tho country by the party in power," asserted Mr. Alschuler vehemenfv, "and wo are met with derision and rldiculo when we present them to the people." "That's gospel truth!" ihouted a red beared farmer. "Our Hag never was Intended to support and protect slaves," continued Mr. Alschu ler. "Such a purpose was never contem plated by Washington or Lincoln. Franco helped us to defeat England. Suppose after wo had whipped the British the latter had sold us to France. Do you lmagmo that our forefathers would have tamely submitted? No. They would have fought until every one was killed or every Frencn man was driven into the ocean." "Dead Trntn tile Onl CSood Ones." This was received with loud cheers and continued applause. The speaker said the administration did not enjoy pointed ref erences to tho Constitution or tho Declara tion of Independence or tho Revolutionaiy War this jear. "If one trust Is good another Is good," he maintained, "but In my Judgment, the only good trust Is u dead trust." And again the audience shook the old Tabernacle with approving shouts. "As well may we expect a mother to strangle her offspring." he continued, "as to expect the Republican party to stamp out the trusts. They are the offspring of Republican legislation, are nurtured by Re publican leaders, and will fatten on the people's necessities. Tho only way to btran gle them Is to elect that magnificent joung leader, the incorruptible William Jennings Bryan, and a Democratic Congress." Kven the ladles Joined In the applause at this sentiment, and energetically waved their dainty handkerchiefs in approval. Mr. Alschuler closed with a brief refer ence to State matters, calling attention to the fact that the little known of the pres ent administration's doings lb suflicicnt for a demand to have the books balanced and the results published to the tax-payers. Ho was followed by Mr. Todd in a brief and forciblo resume of the Kansas City plat form. William E. Schutt, Jr., Democratic can didate for Stato Attorney of Sangamon County, told the audience how he would run the office If elected, and pledged him self to prosecute all violators of the laws without fear or favor. Ho explained that the Prohibition candidate on yesterday, from the assembly platform, had made some unwarranted charges against him In this respect. Mr. Schutt's answer was Igorous and pointed. Keek's Sndden Converxlon. At Buffalo this morning a young man named Keck met Mr. Alschuler with a ra cing buggy lavishly decorated with colored tlsauo paper and pulled by a beautiful pair of thoroughbreds. Ho expected the honor of driving Alschuler to tho assembly grounds. But the rig was without cover and the candidate is suffering from hav fever, and air and dust aggravate the trouble. Mr. Alschuler was regretfully forced to decline the ride. This angered Mr. Keck and he drove away In a passion, jelling lor Yates. Hp afterwards appeared on the as sembly grounds In his rig and loudly j?i d offensively repeated his sho.its for th-j Re publican candidate. The Republican news papers will iio doubt claim Keck as an other convert from Democracy "on prin ciple." JTho Alschuler party arrived In Decatur at C.S0 p. m. and were met at tho depot by Representatives James M. Gray and I. A. Buckingham. After buppcr there was a large informal reception, and. In response to urgent de mands, Mr. Alschuler tpoke a few words from the hotel steps, promising to retu n later in the campaign and expound the doc trines taught by the signeis of the Dcclaia tlon of Independence. Tho party leaves at 9 to-morrow morning for Danville. J. L,. PICKERING. BIG WAREHOUSE FIRE. Forty-Five Hundred Bales of Cot ton Burned in Spain. Pantandcr.

The Change Made the Xiglit Thor oughly Enjoyable !Xo Prostra tions and Only One Death Eecorded Yesterday. The Iong-cpcctcl rain arrived in St. Louis at 5 o'clock j esterday afternoon. cau ing the temperature to fall sercntccn degrees In about fifteen minutes and af fording sweltering St. I.ouisans at least a temporary relief. Tho rain fell hard for a few minutes and then stopped and departed for parts un known, vvitliout doing more than wotting the top lajer of dust on tho roads. The rainfall did little or no good to tho parched grass and shrubbery in the parks. A clouded sky about A o'clock In the aft ernoon indicated that tho rain which Local Forecaster Hyatt Eaid was duo to arrive would put In an appearance before night fall. At 430 o'clock big black clouds rolled up from the southwest, and iiftcen minutes later a strong wind, which swirled the dust on the downtown streets and carried scraps of paper high in the air, caused pedestrians to seek the nearest shelter. A dense cloud of du;t swept over the western part of the city, darkening tho sunlight and frightening the women and children so that they ran to their cellars for shelter from what they thought might bo another cv clone. When tho rain com menced to fall tho people heaved a sigh of relief, but they were greatly disappointed when the sunset wah visible In the clear bky at 6 CO The little rain and wind transformed the weather from humid torrldnets to refresh ing coolness and made tho night thorough ly enjovable. Yesterday was several de grees warmer than Tuesday, and there was n. corresponding increase in tho amount of humidity in tho atmosphere. Despite tho oppiessivcness, not a Mngle case of heat prostration was received ut the City Hos pital jestcrday, and but one death was recorded. The dead man is Frank Hoff stadler. who was taken to tho City Hospi tal after being prostrated by tho heat on Wednesday. Ho was n teamster, and his home wah at Xo. 6112 Easton avenue. He was SO jears old. If ho had been u joung man ho would probably have recovered, a"3 his temperature was not unusually high when he was received at the hospital. Ho died at 11:30 o'clock j esterday morning. MINOR STORM DAMAGES. Mansard Roofs Blown Off Tele graph Poles Suffer. The mansard roofs on the buildings at Kos. 40lH to 40W Uaston avenue were blown off In tho storm j esterday. The buildings are owned by Sergeant E. G. Hoolihan of the Ninth Police District. Mrs. Bamhrlck's residence at No. 1919 Ba con street was damaged K0 by the storm Several telegraph poles in the vicinity of Greer and Jlarcus avenues were blown down. SEVERE IN THE COUNTY. Many Trees Blown Down, but Ko Serious Damage Done. Testerda's storm was severe in the coun tv, but bejond the fnct that several trees were blown down and the clouds of dust cnused discomfort to those who happened to be on the highwavs, no damage was done. A treo vvas blown across the Suburban tracks west ot Wibster Groves, but this was soon cleared away and the cars were not dclavcd more th.in twenty minutes. At Muplewood Stntlon, on the Snburbin. there was great confusion and one llttlo bov was s-eparated from his parents. The station was crowded by people coming in from tho west and each time a cltj car came along there was a rush to get aboird. In their liasto many persons got on westbound cars instead of castbound cars and a transfer hnd to be made. John Smidt and family of Benton made this mistake Whfn they dis covered the error they hastened to remedy It, but their little on was left on the west bound car whlln they went on east. The lad was not missed by his parents for several minutes' after they had left Maplcwood The father then went back to the junction and found tho boy. STORM "AT SYCAMORE.

Mr. and Jlrs. Eugene Amorettl, Jr liv ing at 2C2S California street, was also vis ited by the robber, who secured $5 in cash and a valuable revolver. The aftalr is a mjsterv in every particu lar. Not the slightest clew as to the iden tity of the robber is at hand, and the theory advanced by those who are investigating tho case is decidedly vague. The lobber did not attempt to hold Jp all the passen gers on the sleeper. He awoke none of the occupants, and accomplished his work witii the greatest stealth. W. A.

Congressman Hawley of Texas Dis cusses Its Commercial Trospects. IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS. Rich Land and Virgin Forests Await the Hand of Labor and the Advent of Capital. The Republic Bureau. Hth St. and Pennslvanla Ave. Washington. Aug. 23. Representative Hawley of Texas has just returned from an extensive trip through Cuba. In a con versation this afternoon he said: "Tho summer In Cuba, has been delight ful. While you wero sweltering hero In tho nineties the thermometer In Cuba was frequently from TO to 75 In the evening. Tho .season for agricultural products has been normnl, with sufficient rain in most districts. The tobacco crop was largo nnd the growing sugar crop. If present condi tions are maintained, will nealy double tho crop of last ear. "Large areas of land are being planted and extended Improvements In many wzys are projected. Under these conditions of agriculture labor iinds employment at re munerative prices. American and Eng lish capital is being largely invested in this Industrial development ot the Island. Tho construction of railways, under former chartors; tho development of mines; tho cultivation of fruits on a most extended scale; tho re-cstablishment of sugar prop erties, and the establishment of new es tates on tho most modern and approved basis all tend to create a state ot affairs that not only supplies the labor of Cuba to-day with emplojmcnt and Is full of piomlse for the future, not only for thou sands that arc there, but for many who may seek cmplojment or Investment there. "Cuba, llko Porto Rico, and, though in lcs3 degree, unllko tho Phillfplnes, is not a populous country. There are to-day In Cuba virgin forests that have never been traversed by civilized man. There is an immense area of virgin soil as rich as the world affords, and In a climate unsur passed, that would jield to labor and to capital as Iaric and certain returns us any unoccupied Held on the Continent, "It Is sometimes suggested that more peo ple and moic capital would immediately en ter Cuba and rapidly develop all Its great possibilities but tor the apprehension that political difficulties may disturb Its prog ress. This Is a lust apprehension. The Cuban-, ate, for the most part, a serious-minded people and make welcome every element of growth and enterprise that establishes it selt in the island. They desire peace and a full share of prosperity. "Cuba is, geogiaphically and commercial ly, very near the United Stutes This Gov ernment has guaranteed a stable Govern ment and absolute pacillcation of the island, and I know of no country where property rights and every form of right will be more secure than in the island of Cuba. "The sanitary condition of the Island ot vast concern to this country, particularly to those who live in Southern ports has so im proved that it is believed possible now to eject jellow fever. The conduct of this im portant factor in our intercourso is under the direction of the United States Marino Hospital service, which has shown capacity and energy of tho highest order In dealing with this problem. "The cause of education Is now Well ad vanced and the youth of Cuba will receive everv advantage that belongs to the daily school life of the American boy or girl. "So, after n trying and devastating war, every element that favorably affects com munity interest Is at work In Cuba for tho maintenance of its health, the education of its youth and the promotion of its com merce with the United States, which will boon grow beyond uny former experiences or preconceived notions of its value and ex tent."

General Manager Hulo of tlio new "Los Angeles Terminal Railroad liaa arrived hero with President G. R. I.elghton of St. Lauls, who la on his way Hast. Concerning tho project Rule declared that work on construction of tho line eastward from Los Angeles would be In full swing within three months. The company Is made up principally of St. Louis capitalists and is capitalized at $J.W0.000. Of thl3 amount Senator Clark owns one-half. "Surveyors are at work to-day," he said, "surveying the proposed line eastward. Our first objective point Is San Bernardino, a distance of sixty miles. From there tho road will be built to Salt Lake, and con nect with all transcontinental lines havlnff termini there. We want business of all roads that are In Salt Lake, and among them Is the Burlington." It has been hinted that the announce ment of the new line Is Intended to frighten the Southern Paclllc and the Santa Fe, but this Is indignantly denied by Mr. Rule. He says that Senator Clark, who has extensive interests both In Utah and California, Is convinced that the project will be a big paying venture. PULLMAN nEUTIIS. Complnlntn Against ncervnl!on Wltliont Payment of Cash. Chicago, IU.,Aug. 23. The Chronicle says: A general protest ia being made against the prevailing custom of reserving sleeping car berths. It haa been a time-honored practic with railroads to allow patrons to reserve berths days and sometimes weeks in advance of the day of departure merely by name. The bertha are held for the re servers until a few hours before the de parture of the train, when they are can celed and if poj-sIMo resold. As no deposit 13 required at tho time the reservation is made it is said that travelers are very careless about releasing the berths when the journey 3 not to bo made. Thla often leads to embarrassing situations. Of ficers of the Pullman company have com plained to the railroads regarding the man ner in which tho sleeping car arrangements have been made. Tho Pullman people say that tho custom of reserving space by name and not with cash has grown recently to a considerable extent and submit statements showing res ervations made on a particular lino for a certain period, and tho number of them not called for or released In time to allow a reselling of the space On one of the roads named during a period of ten days the un used space that had been reserved amount ed to over sixty berths. Railroad officers say tho Justice of the Pullman complaint Is apparent. If the spaco Is engaged only by name nnd not called for. It operates to the detriment of their patrons who have turned nway for lack of space, and this in turn reflects up on the management of the railways. The practice causes agents to refuse patrons who deire to pay cash down and In many Instances forces tho operation of extra cars. Just what may be done in the matter without offending patrons is what is both ering tho railroad officers. All are of tho opinion that berths reserved but not paid for should be either taken or releasea in time to allow a reselling. Officers of several of the big roads operating out of Chicago are preparing instructions to their agents requesting them to curtail, so far as possi ble, the reserving of berths too far In ad vance or releasing them on too short no tice. CLOVER LEAF'S LOSS. District Pnucngcr Ajrent Davenport to Leave the Company. J. E.

The LOiniany never had a more loyal, fallhf il and enei getio employe. When ho first us-i-uncd charge of the passenger office here 'here was no necessity for a ticket casts. A small-sized Eoan box would have answered all practical purposes. But "Davvy" av.. a hustler and ho went out and mndo friends and spent his own money lc build up a paving business for the dinky roai. He called the line the Clover Leaf, out the railway boys and lt.s patr-ms always al luded to It as "Davvy's" road. Many a good fellow who wanted a rlda "the wcrst way," bought a ticket over th.- Clover I.caf simply because he wished to do "Davvy" a -rood turn. And now that ho Is nhout to take serv ice with another company Eddlu Daven port's friends say that he is better known In this section than the Clover I euf iifelf and will certainly be more favorably re membered by railroad men all ever the country. It is said to be the Intention of th new management to consolidate Its freUht and passenger offices here and placo ihera un der tho management of J. W. Scott, di vision freight agent.

".Every precaution will be taken to make the Joint Agency ns efficient as possible, and Its efficiency will be largely enhanced if the following suggestions, prompted by our experience In conducting similar agen cies, are carulully observed bv agents when li.sulng Grand Army excursion tickets: "First To require the purchaser to &ign his or her name in every ins-tance in tho presence of selling agent, as provided for by the contract. "Second To require purchasers to sign their first names In full, instead of indica ting them by Initials. "Third To reeiulro females to indicate their social relations by tho prefix '-Miss or 'Mrs.' "Fourth To decline to sell tickets to known representatives of ticket scalpers. cicnunxT SHOWING.

There was not much doubt as to what course the market would pursue, though there were periods during the day when the market was both narrow and slow, though it was plain to bo seen that there was an undertone of inde pendent strength, and the enthusiasm of buliB and bears waxed hot and cold by turns, according- to the character of the news that came to hand. The longs ap peared to have the advantage all day Ions, and tills was made more apparent late, when there was another of those sharp bulges that have been the feature of this market of late Just at the close and which sent prices tip flying and closed them right at the very top.

Then theie was a Private cable stating that thrashing returns were smaller than expected in the Kussii.ii rye crop, and if this was not enough the weather in the Northwest was unfavorable Z P1"3' The buying on tho above bullish Information was sufficient to start Sept. of: Uc higher at 70c and Dec at 7,'"kc me tarter tnen selling at 73c This excellent m jiui maintained tor long, for tin reason that there were too many who wwe' anxious to take profits, and late cables were ?,0in.ri'van,y ,n,,eans, encouraging. Liverpool falling back Ud and closing only ud up for the day. Paris down fee and Buda-1'esth 4c while Antwerp and Berlin were without anv chahge.

There was no ehango In the price of any class of poultry. Dressed poultry receipts to-day 032 pkgs. The receipts were confined to 3 ears from Iowa and about 1 car from the Southwest, with a few- scattering lots from In diana and Ohio. Spring chickens still scarce and not enough coming to supply regular trade, many having to tak fowls instead, nnd the move ment of the latter was more free. Receivers took care of their regular trade and rarely charged over 13c for ehlckens.but outsiders had to pay an advance over that figute. Spring chickens, fancy Western, dry-picked or scalded, sold at 13c. and small at 12312".c. Other classes un changed in price. Ilntter. Clireoe nnil Keren. New York, Aug. 23.

Provisions Were Firmer and Higher Rye Firm With Advance Barley Stationary. r.EPEBLTC SPECIAL. Chicago. Aug. 23. It was tolcgraphctl from Xow York as soon aw tin: wheat market was timlor way that most of yesterday's pur oha.st'.s of that grain ostensibly for export wero offered for res- lie there this morn ing. That caused weakness in the market here, whether the fact was ko or not, but If the export takings of yesterday wero seeking a home market tills morning there was a renewal of the foreign demand that took rare of offerings, the day's fresh ex port sales at the seaboard amounting to iViO.ODO bu., and because of it the market closed strong at about r;ic over yesterday's Muni figures. Corn and oats were easier on the liquidation by .Sept. longs. Provisions were firmer and higher. Wlic.it. Liverpool quoted ud advance In both spot wheat and futures, ami ascribed the firm ness thus shown to the strength on this side the day before, and in some measure also to unsettled weather In the United Kingdom. The lirst transactions here were at yesterday's closing prices, or a trifle higher, but the demand tor .spot wheat was not In evidence nt the commencement o" the day's business, and, as the speculators requiro a continuous diet of bull news and meals of it at all hours, as at city restau rants, to prevent them from becoming weak, tho price began to sink Immediately after the opening and declined c from tho high est point it touched at the opening. Tito tendency toward a reduced movement of winter wheat was again indicated by the primary market receipts, St. Louis re porting 102,000 bu., compared with 141.000 bu. the Thursdav preceding, and Kansas City lCJ.OOO bu.. as against 179,000 bu. a week ago. Chicago receipts numbered 225 car loads, as acalnst 73 last year, and the ship ments hence were ii'T.O'.X) bu.. compared with 32.0C0 bu. the like day of the year before. The total received at Western primary mar kets was 1,041.000 bu.. whereas a year ago it was only GW.000 bu. The .shipments from the same were equally striking in the oppo site direction, amounting to-day to 1,173,030 bu., as against only 180,000 bu. a year ago. The seaboard clearances were equal in wheat and Hour to 173.000 bu. Liverpool closed at '-d advance. 1'aris nt equal to ic a hu. decline. Antwerp made no change in previous! quotations. Minneapolis and Duliith received 377 cars of wheat, as against S1 last year. Advices from all over the spring-wheat territory 'f the Northwest were to the effect that seri ous damage was already done to wheat in shock from the heavy and Ions-continued rains, some of it so serious as total de struction of the grain for milling purposes. The domestic Hour trade was said to be in very healthy condition, stocks In secoml hands being light, dealers having been waiting for a break to renew their stocks and now compelled to buy at current prices. Minneapolis reported yesterday's sales of flour the largest for a day in six mouth---. Tlie amount of the seaboard ex port business was steadily added to as the day wore, ami near the end of the session New York reported 73 boatloads taken. The market on that became strong and the price of Sept. wheat, that early in the day sold as low as 73',4c. rose to "lfc and cloid at TlftiTP.-e. It opened at from 737'iC to 73;sc. declined to 73'iC and then advanced and closed as above. Corn. The improvement in the wenther for corn in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and. in fact, throughout the greater part of the region of its growth caused some of the longs in the local market to get rid of corn they bought for Sept. Such liquidation caused some unsettling of previously formed opin ions. George 1'attcn sold his corn through E. W. Uailey, but other large lines were not put upon the market. Sept. opened at from 39-"-sc to .".3-..e, dropped to 39c, recov ered tjc nnd then declined to SSljC. After that it recovered once more to S9Uc and closed at 33-t?3S4c. or Vf'Uc lower than it did yesterday. Local receipts were US cars: last year on the like day they were 230 ears. For to-morrow IGo were estimated. The seaboard clearances wcro 377,000 hu. Saljs for shinment of loO.OOO bu. wero re ported here, and Xew York called the day's export sales CO boatloads. Out. Oats were again under the depressing In fluence of Sept. liquidation aud yielded an other UfiMc in value of the grain for tr.at month's delivery. Iyoeal tecelnhs were LSI cars, against 4S2 a year ago, and :;30 cars were estimated as teceipts for to-morrow. Clearances for export lrom the seaboard were S2.OJ0 bu.. and j'tles reported lor Mr.p- iiieni irnm iiucago itaMWU mi. Sept. oats opened at 21"ic. sold as low as 2l'-c and cloitl at 21ali21vic.

Ryo was firm and 'c to lc In advance of yesterday's prices. This rise In values was ascribed to the small offerings and the strong demand. The maiket alto gained con siderable strength from the linn feeling that existed for wheat. There was some good demand for cash from Uuffalo at e tinder the market price here; but nothing was reported worked. No. 4 to go to store sold at Itcrelpts were 6 cars and shipments nothing.

Trading was HmiK-d and offerings light. Cash Northwestern sold at $1.40 and Southwest at $1.39. Receipts were 33 cars. Aug. sold at $1.40. Sept. at $1.3; 1.37 and finished at that bid. Oct. opened at $1.33. sold up to $1.34. declined to $1.33',-:, reacted and closed at $l.33?i. Timothy nnd Clover Seed. Timothy was weak and 2VsC lower than tlie previous day. This decline in the mar ket was due mostly to lack of demand. Of ferings were light and plenty for the trad ing that was done. Cash was also slightly lower. Sales raned fiom $3.C0 to J4.03. Re ceipts were 354.000 pounds, and shipments 241,437 pounds. There was no trading In Sept. delivery. It closed at $4.02', nominally. Oct. sold at $4.02 and finished at that nom inally. A nominal market was reported for clover seed. The market was devoid of trading or offerings. Traders advanced their bids 25c. making the price 5U.75, but hold ers of seed appeared to be waiting for bel ter prices before letting fio of any of their possessions. Receipts were 49,000 pounds and shipments nothing. Provision. Provisions recovered from the depression of the last few days. Pork was more es pecially firmer, as it was previously the weakest of the leading speculative commod ities. It -opened for Oct. at $10.95, or 2c lower than it closed yesterday, rose to $11.10 and closed at $11.05011.07',. Lard for Oct. was comparatively steady, the range being confined between $6.72& and $0.77. the lat ter the closing figures and 2ttc oyer those of yesterday. Ribs were 5c higher In the end than they closed the day before. Local run of hogs was 22,000 head, with 17.000 estimated tor to-morrow.

Following yester clav's showers, most heavy in North Carolina and Northern Georgia, a rather weak feeling pre vailed, having Its first effect In Liverpool and in turn producing an easier feeling here, chiefly under the pressure of further selling- bv outsiders.

At noon a net loss of 4 to 6 points was apparent, with subsequent changes unimportant, and trading- was very slack. Increased attention was given to the receipts, which, although rather larger, are behind the movement far a year ago. The crop news was too mixed for confident action on tho part of traders, and the volume of trailers' busi ness was very small, with the market finally iii'let In tone at 4?f7 points net lower.

Trading Exceedingly Narrow New York Market Money Continued Easy. in JtEPUBLIC BPECLM- New Tork. Aug. ST. The London market was again "Inactive and showed some ten dency to sag for that reason. Consols de clined 4 to '.ISVi and the general market was heavy- Anna-lean stocks lost in the earlier part of the day, but recovered later. Quo tations, however, were wide and very nomi nal. Jloney continued easy, although the Bank of England did not pee fit to change Its rate from 4 per cent. Tho return showed the position ot the banks considerably stronger, with an Increased proportion of reserve to liabilities and a gain in bullion m tho weolc This, of course, was due to the American gold shipments. Chinese news was Indefinite anil there seemed to be some signs of trouble in Eastern Europe. In the lociJ market, although there was a little more activity than on Wednesday, trading waii exceedingly narrow and con fined to one. or two specialties. Tho strength In Jersey Ointral was worth noting, and It may be takn as certain that strong inter ests aro buying for control. It la quite ob Tlous; however, that they do not Intend that the speculative end of Wall street shall take. a gratuitous ride, a? it is noticeable that as oon as anything lika a bull account 13 opened the Inside buying stops. The buying In St. Loulii Southwestern isimea has been of a. jocd character and there is fairly good reason for 'Believing In a dividend declara tion for tho preferred In the not far distant future. Granger stocks hve been hard but i Inactive People's Gas shows evidence of jsre83ura from Chicago, with support from the "Wormser pool. The Ogdun deal is blocked until the Chicago politicians can be epaxed. Thi close was lairly hard, with a continuance of good buying In St. Louis Southwestern Issues and a rumor current that the preferred stock would be put on a S per cent dividend basis. Trading else where was not large, and the fear ot strikes In tho antliraclte coal trade checked the buying of Headings and Jerey Central. Brooklyn Transit was rather Inclined to sell on. on the a.osenca oi ae nrauatu jjjjic rnentary report. The borrowing demand showed a f;iir short Interest, especially in the Grangers. Thn r-hiripu ltnnflrn t rerv little al tered, but the decline In British consola Is likely to cause somo anxiety that tho feeling among tho powers may not iu reu hnrmnnlmiH. While tho rumored Russian ttiw. in Knw York hns been contradicted. thero la -ery Httla doubt that all tho Eu ropean Pow:rs will havo to borrow money, and the continuous pressuro of Russia to set troops to the Far East, In view of the occupation cf Pekin by the allles.is ominous. It Russia borrows money It Is much moro likely to be In Paris than here, and such necurlty as tho can offer Is not likely to bs very attractive to tho American Investor. In thiH'Conrection the renewed. outbreak of political untest in Southeastern Europe, as evidenced by tho arming ot Roumanla. is probably having a disturbing effect on Eu ropean moniy markets. Tho reports In the rteel trade aro. upon tho whole, betur. Federal Stesl, In particular, shows an In crease In sJjes of plates and bars. On the present reduced scale the railroads are more likely to buy structural iron and rails. Mr. Huntington's will la expected on 1-riday at IE o'clock. From the buying of Southern Pacific It han been forecast with reasonable certainty, and It la unlkely that any altera tlon'ln his aoldlngs will bo made that will affect the market 'condition of the stock. Ontario ant Western haa shared in some measure the strength of the other hard-coal reads, and tho buying hi It has been of a rood character. Thero Is little reason to doubt that the splitting of the stock will become an nccompnsnea met mis iuji. mich case tie payment of a small dividend Kill probably be part of the programme.
