W orld's Fair llolorannt.
Chicago, July IS. Tlie day opened
clear and hot. but the scorching ras of
tlie sun did not suflire to keep the peo
ple away from the world's fair grounds.
Workmen on the ruins of the cold
storage w arehouse made another ghactly
find this morning. It was that of a
human arm, and from a ring on the
finger it was identified as that of llulph
Drummoud, part of whose remains were
taken out yesterday. The total list of
fatalities from the fire now numbers 17,
with three or four still unaccounted for.
It is now believed the total will not ex
ceed 20 or "", though there is consider
able uncertainty as to the numlier of
strangers in the building when the fire
broke out. Gate receipts at the fair
Sunday will tie donated to the relatives
of the dead firemen, and several city

no that a handsome snm is sure to be

He is likely, unless he leaves off of his

Peck, "is intended as educational for
the people. All tbe villages and indus

instructive. I don't think his perform

Washinoto, Jnly 13. The Federa

pardon of the anarchists. The resolu

Tote. The resolution contained tbe fol
lowing :
We also regard Governor Altgeld as a
representative of that class of patriotic
citizens who condemn alike that anarch
ism which would destroy by biute force,
and that other insidious anarchism of
the judiciary and press which, by the
abuse of justice, the perversion of truth
and tbe attempted corruption of an
honest public sentiment, is a menace to
the stability of the government and the
social order of our republic.

Toi'eka, Kan., July 13. James But

in a case which he is about to institute
against A. B. Montgomery for destroy

the midst of harvest. Montgomery is a
rainmaker, living at Goodland. About
two weeks ago a terrific storm, which
ended w ith a cloudburst, did great dam
age in Lyon county. No warning of the
storm was given by the barometer and
tlie signal service was unable to explain
it. Montgomery at once began to boast

FRENCH ANARCHISTS THREATEN
Revolutionists in San Sahadnr Have
Been Defeated French and
Siamese Trouble.
I'ais, July H. Today it the lotth
anniversary of the fall of the li.ictile.
The anniversary is usually celebrated
with much rejoicing. Today, however,
the fetes in l'aris were tame, and the
usual celebrations were conspicuous
through their absence. This is due en
tirely to the feeling engendered by tbe
recent riots. 'The municipal council,
upon w hich heretofore much of the ex
penses of the celebrations have fallen,
has taken no part in the observance.
Members of the council, many of whom
if not actually known as socialists, have
leanings in that direction, are still sulky
because of tbe government's action in
regard to the labor exchange and
threaten to dissolve their body. In
view ot these conflict the council left
the celebration in the bands of others,
with tlie result that the decorations are
hardly worthy of notice. The night il
lumination is abandoned altogether.
The anniversary is noticeable for a lack
of observance. The anarchists have
taken advantage of the day to pout in
cendiary placards. The police are buey
destroying these red posters. They
made many threats of what they in
tended to do today, going so far as to
say that they would destroy the city
with tire. The authorities are prepared
for whatever overt acts they may at
tempt. The fire brigade and two regi
ments of troops are in readiness to fight
fire or the anarchists themselves. The
general opinion is the anarchists will
confine themselves to threats and
bluster.
A Keolutlo la Haw Mlodor
Pakama, July H. Advice have been
received here of a revolutionary upris
ing in the capital of the neighboring re
public of San Salvador. A battalion of
the government forces, commanded by
Colonel Flores, mutinied and proclaimed
a revolution. Its avowed purpose was
to avenge Menedex and drive tbe assas
sins from power. Tbe revolutionists
endeavored to get the army corps to join
them, but the latter remained loyal to
the government. With the artillery
under General F.eta a battle was fought
in which the revolutionists were de
feated after a short fight. Then the
rebels capitulated. In the engagement
Colonel Flories was killed. His princi
pal lieotenants were captured and
thrown in prison, where they will re
main awaiting court-martial. Senor
Pedot was arrested later and he is also
imprisoned. Many civilian have also
been implicated in the conspiracy.
Official reports have been promulgated
by the government, denying that any
revolution i now in progress or that
there was any outbreak, and further de
claring that everything i now (juiet.
FJzeta ha established censorship on
any new relating to the outbreak, and
no direct advices are obtainable.

Minneapolis, July 14. Senator Alii-J
son, el Iowa, ia m tlie city, the guest ot
Senator Washburn. He said today the
present financial disturbances were due
largely to the fact that there is a belief
that if we continue to purchase silver
we must soon reach a silver stumlard.
Added to this is an expansion of creilits,
and a dintruid of the democratic policy
on the currencv Biid tar i if. The stop- i
pajre of the purchase of silver will greatly
aid in restoring confidence, mid we can
easily maintain at a gold par all the sil
ver. We have silver bullion now far
below the normal price, and it w ill ad
vance as soon as the policy regarding its
use is more clearly defined, and it w ill
eventually lie restored to the old status.
The original intent of the law was to in
crease the circulating medium, and it
did so till recently. Now, however, it
has the effect of causing a boarding of
gold and greenbacks, causing contrac
tion ; o it will probably lie repealed.

San Francisco, July 14. A rieeting
in the interest of the free coinage of
silver will probably soon tie held in this
cily. Silver mining men from Montana,
Idaho, Nevada and other staU'S, who are
staying at t he Grand and Palace hotels,
have brt-ii discussing the proposition of
having such a meeting here, and steps
will be taken to have one called by
prominent citizen of San Francisco. It
is desired to select delegates from Cali
fornia to the Bimetallic League which
nil! meet at Chicago August 1st, and
adjourn to meet at Washington August
7th. The delegates will he in Washing-
ton duriiif the extra session of congres.

of the leading Chicago clergymen

in favor of closing, resolutions

in response to urgent appeals from per

from stockholders of the corporation,

adopted by the city council ol Chicago.

Beklin, July 15. Soon after the army
bill was put on final passage today, and
after speaking had commenced, it be
came certain that the leading opponents
of the government meant business and
did not intend to let the measure be
adopted in a perfunctory manner.
Speaker after speaker paid less attention
to attacking or supporting the bill than
to railing at political opponents.
Tbe emperor left the building before
the division was taken. When put to a
vote the bill was passed by a majority of
10, the vote standing 201 in lavor ot tho
measure to 185 against it. After read
ing the speech of the emperor closing the
session, the chancellor added: "It is a
special pleasure to me to be charged to
give you the emperor's thanks." Pres
ident Yon Levetzow then called for
three cheers for the emperor, and they
were given with enthusiasm by all
groups except the socialists, w ho left the
house before the chancellor finished.
The initial expenditures arising from
the operations of the new military law
w ill be covered by a loan of 48,000,000
marks. This loan was approved by the
budget committee. The emperor ia de
