These plays hail not been Intermitted upon Corpus Chris! i day, any more than th solemn procession. The crowds, exciU ed as they were, would hav been loath to forego thi popular entertainment, and it wa not every Corpua Christ! oay mat the horny-handed players had the chance of such sn audience. Some of the players, and notabiy thi Herod and the Devil and his Imps great serio-comic characters did not lay aside their dresses when the play wa over; and Herod in especial had made himself prominent in the crowd by the violence of his language and his gest ures, and the amazing power of hi lungs. He waa a fellow nt otoantia depth and breadth of chest, with a huge black curlv head. and. takimr hla stand opposite the Tower, be swaggered with his wooden sword, beat bis breast line a clilmpanr.ee. and veiled out an enaiess stream of menaces and impre cation. When this noisy ribald saw the crowd running through the gates, he danhed forward to Join the stream, doubling the ferocity of his cries. "Now for llie tiaitors!" h yelled. "Bring them before me, that 1 may chop off their neaus arns make footballs of them! Out with the traitors! Beek them out) The chancellor! The treasurer! Whei are the traitor? Let me account lo them! The chancellor! The treas urer Bring them forth!" His cries were taken np by the mob, and whit was uttered at 6rst in coarse sport was soon repeated in savago earn est. The devilish suwreation quickly matured It self In heated brains, alwav spter for evil than for good, and the sppetite of the human tier was roused. It passed through the crowd like some sort of contagious madness. Hundreds who had ruxhed for the open gate on a mad frolie impulse found themselves as they purlted annd jostled along, gnash ing their teeth and howling for the chancellor, like a pack of hungry wolves. Wolves In full cry but there any SOlliitf 0ltjnra4-hlr jinUaH leven of savage laughter that ran through it and filled up the lulls in the volume of their more brutish howling. The officer of the garrison were taken by surprise. No one dared to take responsibility. The cry waa raised by the rioters that they came in the king's name, that the king had given them the traitors to deal with at their pleasure. There was no time to dclib erste, no tlm to consult superior auth ority. The outer gate was mastered with a rush, and the mob poured along by the aouth wall and around and through the entrance in the bloody Tower while the warders of the great portcullia were still hearkening in be wildered doubt to the clamor of the sudden irruption. Their first ure knowledge that th mob had broken In to the fortress came from agile .ruffian who leaped op the stairs with the cry that they came in the king's nam, and who brought with them the unques tionable mandate of over powering num bers.

Grant Pass, Oregon, July 15 A fir which Is believed to have bad its origin in a defective flue in a hotel yesterday afternoon destroyed $50,000 worth ,of property here. A southwest wind that wan blowing a gale scattered the flying ember over all parts of the city and made it practicably impossible for the firemen to keep the flames under control, , The Are wa a most remark able one in that it did not sweep every thing as it went, but skipped here and there, making the situation all the more difficult for the firemen and the citi zens, who fought heroically to quell the destructive flames. Kearly all of the residences and buildings burned were Insured for one-half or two-third of their value. , . The fire originated in the old City 1 i t w . . noiei, on front street, flame were discovered breaking through the kitchen roof about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. ana probably caused by a defective flue, banned by the tierce wind, the flames had completely onveloned the Citv hotel ana tne adjoining buildings before the ure department could reach the scene, notwithstanding their prompt response. The Grant Pass brewery was next in the path of the flames, and in a few minute wa reduced to ashes.; The blaze then leaped across the street to the railroad yards of the Southern Pacific, where are located the round house, machine shops and wood yard. These were soon a mass of flames. Across the street were three residences, and these were next to go. By this time the whole city was in gieat alarm. The wildest excitement prevailed, for the solid business portion of the town on Front street and all of the residences of the city, comprising half of Grants Pass, eeemed doomedV as they were di rectly in the path of the flames. Every available team, dray and truck in the city weie brought into use in getting the contents of stores and residence to place of safety.

J. Balfour. ' London, July 16. The fact of the resignation of the premiership of Great Britain by Lord Salisbury has been offi cially given out. The prime minister laid down the responsibilities of his office July 11. Within 24 hours his majety elevated A. J. Balfour, the government' chief representative in the house of commons, to the position of premier. While - it was expected in political and commercial circle that Lord,. Pal- iabnry's retirement would be coincident with the coronation of King Edward, it was scarcely looked for prior to that event.- Consequently about the only surprise expressed a? the news spread through London concerned the date, rather than the fact of the resignation. The real interest was not so much in reference to Lord Salisbury's with drawal as it was in the appointmeut of his successor. The liveliest speculation is rife aa to the personnel ol the new cabinet The moat discussed feature of the pending changes is the position of Mr. Cham berlain, the colonial secretary, who in many quarters has been regarded as tne most promising candidate for the pre mierehin. ' A to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal, the main reason is considered by prac tically all well' informed persons to have been a desire for a quiet life on the part of a man advanced in years. whose activities have been unusual and whose scientific tastes predisposed him to study and seclusion. . Althounh Lord Salisbury's resigna tion does not necessarily involve tne reconstruction of the cabinet, it is be lieved there will be some changes. It is considered not unlikely that some of the ministers will be made poors order to make room for new biood in the cabinet. Waien Art Falling. Topeka, Kan., July 10. The flood situation is beginning to show some Improvement.
