Interest in the approaching fight between John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain is at fever heat in this city, and it promises to be still warmer be fore Monday, when they must meet, accord ing tc the articles of agreement, within 200 miles of New Orleans, and decide the ques tion of superiority. Both sides have bitter supporters and hot words have been passed, but so far the money, which shows the cur rent ot public sentiment, has been greatly in favor ot Sullivan. What threatened to be a free fight came very near taking place in Bud Benaud's office this afternoon. When the Sullivan party were crossing the Pearl river, just below the station of that name, about 60 miles from New Orleans, the attention of everybody was attracted by A Doge Bine Poster placed prominently on the wall of the small station, announcing: "Grand prize fight for the championship of the world, between Jake Kilrain and John L. Sullivan." ChsrkJihn'on and "Jin Vciely became pale with rage, which was unbounded when they reached the Crescent City and found the posters, which bore the name of the New Tork printer, who is known to be putting up money for Kilrain, displayed every where. Johnson and Wakely set out in search of frank Stevenson, after they had seen Sulli van safely housed at 33 Earn part street, the cozy home of John Duffy, abrother of Patsy Duffy, who will be remembered as the Southerner who was going to let daylight through Fred May, in a Broadway resort, one evening a year or so ago, because he said that he had a mind to invite Mrs. Langtry to take dinner with him at Del mouico's. Tbey found Kilrain's represen tative in Benaud's office, at Carondelet street, and there was No Mincing of Words. "What in do you mean?" was John eon's salutation. "Do you want your man to fight, or are you merely advertising him and his backer?" "What do you mean?" was Stevenson's reply, in a rising voice, "Yes, what do you man?" continued Johnson. "You had every opportunity to have this fight come off peaceably. You had the best and most lenient Governor In the United States to deal with, the police were friendly to you, and, it, here you go and openly defy tbem by issuing a lot of posters for a prize fight, which is in itself a breach of the peace. You don't want to fight, anu you're trying to smooth a way to get out of it. In getting your printing done in New York you slap in the face every printer in Louisiana." Snlllvau's Friends Mean Fight. "Our man will be here, and he will fight," was Stevenson's response. "Now, to show that we are sporting men," continued Johnson, "we will do away with the gate money. We will take a dozen men on each side, and a special train, for which we will pay, and we will go where we can have it out for $10,000 a side, with or without a referee. "We will accept anybody that is known at all, or we will fight with nobody acting in that capacity." "We mean to fight, and everything is all right," replied Stevenson. "For my part," said Bud Benaud, "I shall do everything in my power to have the fight decided on the date agreed upon." Visitors poured into the city to-day from all quarters. Newspaper men are getting as thick as bees here, and the prize ring promises to be crowded. There is room for 30 persons there, while the number of appli cations already runs up in the hundreds, every newspaper in the country having a correspondent here, and the managers are Having a Hard Time of It, deciding what papers are entitled to the consideration of a reserved seat. The editor of one of tnt IomI parish papers, which is honored by the title of official organ to the Governor, wrote to-day for a pass to the ring, remarking: "We demand it as our right, and want it by return mail." Messrs. Bemud, Puffy, Stevenson and Barnett, the mysterious four who have charge of all the arrangements for the fight here, were absent at the ring all day to-day, putting some finishing touches on it. Not withstanding the pretenses of non-preparation, it is generally believed that everything will be found in perfect order by Monday. It is known for certain that the Western Union sent oat its agents to-day and im proved the telegraphic facilities between the ring and New Orleans. Solllraa Ptlll a Big Favorltr. Sullivan is a great favorite is the betting. SULLIVAN In fact, it is very difficult to place any money except at 2 to 1 on the Boston bov, and not many persons care to do that. In the St. Charles Turf Exchange this evening the proprietor, after vainly endeavoring to sell a pool on the fight, offered to bet 1,000 to SGOO that Sullivan would win. This found no takers, and he met with the same success when he offered to bet $600 to $1,000 that Kilrain would win. Captain Bat Galvin, ex-Chief of Police of New Orleans, tried to put $1,800 on Sulli van to-day, but after peddling out $800 of it, against $400, in $100 lots, he became dis gusted. The Young Men's Gymnastic Club is a rich organization, owning $100,000 prop erty. They are for Sullivan to a man, and want the Southern Athletic Club men to come to the front and show the color of their money. OLARINDA, THE COOK.

While the Sullivan train was waiting at Chattanooga last night, where the "big fellow" refused to leave the car, or rather, Muldoon refused to permit him to mingle with the crowd on the platform, there was a great crush to get a look at Sullivan, and the whites and blacks jostled each other in their endeavor to get near the windows. Muldoon made his way to the kitchen of the railroad res taurant, and picking out three of the plumpest chickens in the larder, bad a buxom colored woman ot thirty prepare them, remarking: "They're for John I Sullivan, and he is quite a gourmet." Bribing the Cook, When Clarinda learned that the great slugger would test the products of her skill, she said: "I'd like to see John L." Muldoon promised that if the chickens were ready in the 20 minutes allotted for supper by the schedule he would take her aboard the Lucia di Lammermoor and pre sent her to the man who is causing the Gov ernors of three States to issue proclamations almost daily. True to his word, the dusky queen of the kitchen was taken aboard, Muldoon pushing his way through the throng with one ot his broad shoulders, the girl following close on his heels. She was in the presence of the champion in a moment, and after shaking hands with him, asked if she might feel his muscle. John clenched his right hand, and bending tho arm, the wondering maid tried to pinch the 16-inch bleep presented for her inspection. "I'se mighty sorry foh dat man Kilrain, so I is," she said. While Sullivan was picking the bones of one of the chickens, somebody in the crowd threw something through the window. It rattled on the plates and fell to the carpet Sullivan picked it up and found it to be a small round stone about three-quarters of an inch in circumference, such as small boys carry for luck. A Mascot for Sullivan. The paper around it bore this inscription, written in a neat, ropnd hand: "Friend John, this is a mascot stone. Keep it and you cannot lose the fight From an ad mirer." John read the note, smiled grimly and put the stone carefully away in his pocket It was 6:15 when the crowd gave the tour ists a parting cheer, mingled with shouts of "Good-by, John; you're a dead sure win ner." As the train pulled out of Chatta nooga it passed by the foot of Lookout Mountain, from which North Carolina, South CJrolfnn,'Georoiaanor',Tehnessee cia be seen on a clear day, the battlefields of Chickamauga, Missouri Bidge and Look out Mountain being in full view of the tourists. Although the shades of night are falling, old Lookout Mountain and the far away peaks of the Cumberland range, gray in the waning light, looking most weird and impressive, had many attractions for the boys, who ceased talking about the coming fight for the time being to admire the beauties of nature spread " before them. That portion of Tennessee lying between Chattinooga and the Alabama border is heavily wooded, giant oaks and pines stretching their arms across the track in friendly greeting, and in places forming a complete arch. ELUDING THE SHERIFFS. Snlllvan's Train Travels at Lightning Speed Through Mlitis.lppl The Officers Have No Chance to Arrest John I Orations Along the Roote. lEriCIXL TEXXOBAM TO THI DISPATCH.1 New Obleans, July 4. At 9:30 the Sullivan train was at Fort Payne, Ala., a boom town. Four months ago it had a population of 350 souls, but last night there were at least three times that many persons at tho station, and a young man who boarded the train to "Shake hands with a Yank," vouchsafed the information that it had a population of over 3,500 at present and was growing very rapidly. It was a motley throng, as Sid Bent, a Boston sport, who alighted and mingled with them, learned. One man, long and gat nt. wearing a thick blue flannel shirt, and whose trousers were tucked into a pair of top boots, threw back one side of his coat and, placing a hand upon his hip, dis played a gun as long as a 40-pounder. Bent whispered to Lew McGregory, the St Joe Kid: "Do you want that?" indicating the gun by a nod. As he did so the Fort Payne boomer struck a new pose, and placing his arms akimbo, an even more vicious looking weapon was brought to view. Bent made a wild break for the steps of the car, wih the Kid at his heels. The people were wild to see Sullivan, but Muldoon was preparing him for bed, and would not allow him to even raise the window and acknowledge the ovation. Birmingham's Big Reception. Five hundred persons were at the station at Birmingham when the train stopped for coal and water. The big fellow had been tucked away in his bed, but the enthusiasts did not care a rap for that ; they wanted to look at him, and before the wheels had ceased turning there were cries of "Sulli van, Sullivan show yourself. We want to see John L. Three cheers for John L." This was kept up continually while the train remained at the station, and finally W. V. Mallory, who has been the ringer for Sullivan during the entire trip was induced to get up and present himself at the window. When they caught sight of his huge arms, which were exposed, there was a yell of jubilation, and the cheering was redoubled and good wishes were showered upon the party. No stops were made until, in accordance with the plans printed in yesterday's Dis patch, shortly after 430 this morning a halt was made at York station, a mile or so north of the Mississippi State line, where engine No. 210, oneot the crack locomotives of the road, was standing ou the siding with one empty passenirer coach attached. When the express rrrived Sullivan's two cars were, after considerable trouble, uncoupled from it and attached to the train on the siding which then started in advance of the ex press. Fooling a Mississippi SherifC Nothing of consequence occurred until the special arrived at Meridan, Miss. There Dan Murphy and others who were on the special assert that the SherifTof the county Ftoodwith a po8e of about 15 men ready to jump on the train the instant it came to a stop and pounce upon Sullivan. The train did not stop at that town, but went by it at full speed. Lord Dashington avers that be heard one of the Sheriff aides ejaculate, me impmm wiwv "By GoshI I'll bet Sullivan's given us the slip on that train." When the regular train reached Meridian, about ten minutes after the special passed, there was a large crowd at the "kyar Bbed," as stations are called down here, but several of the more intelligent members of it denied that the Sheriff or his posse were there or had any idea of arresting Sullivan. One gentleman said: "We came here to get a glimpse of Sullivan, that's all." It may be that they were there and that chagrin at being given the slip induced the towns people to say otherwise; but the throng ap peared curious rather than hostile. Watched by His Friends. Sullivan's special storjped twice In Mis sissippi, each time at a water tank, where the tender was replenished, and if the Sheriff really wished to arrest the champion it seems a little singular that he did not think of posting a posse of men at the points where he must have known that tho engine would have to stop. Muldoon watched Sullivan until after midnight, and Dan Murphy remained on gnard to see that no fly or mosquito dis turbed his rest until morning. The big fellow slept on as calmly as an infant He woke at about 8 o'clock and was taken into his baggage car, divested of his night dress and treated to a sponge bath, after which he was toweled and band-rubbed until his skin was the color of a tea rose. Dry un derwear was then given him, and on his re turn to the sleeping car Muldoon adminis tered to him two tablespoonfuls of an anti malarial compound, of which whisky, qui nine and strychnine were the chief ingredi ents. On sped the special until Slidell was reached, where Jack Barnett and several other friends got on board and welcomed the champion to the South. AT NEW ORLEANS, Snlllran Arrives at His Last Training Quar ters He Receives a Warm Welcome He is la the Best of Health A Sheriff's Dilemma. SPECIAL TXXXQSAV TO THE DISPATCH. 1 New Obleans, July 4. Sullivan's special train pulled up at Gentify station, just a mile out of New Orleans, at 1030 A. 21. Here a party of friends was in waiting with carriages, who took charge of Sullivan and his men, and drove them at once to the boarding houses selected for them on Bam part street, immediately opposite the club house of the Young Men's Gymnasium Club, whose guest Sullivan will be while here. It had been orizinally intended that Sul livan should lodge at Spanish Fort, on Lake Ponchartrain, in rooms above the Casino specially fitted up for him, but it was feared that at this rainy season it might give him a dangerous touch of ma laria, and it was deemed best to bring him immediately to the city. Sullivan was dressed in aloose white flan nel shirt open at the throat; a light coat and trousers of a light grayish hue, and wore a soft slouch hat. "I never was in better condition in my life," he told his friends who inquired after his health, and it was agreed by all who knew him that he looked so. Later in the day he paid the hall of the gymnastic club a visit, and was welcomed by the many members present He visited the practicing room, and practiced there an hour, punching the bag, tossing the ball, skipping the rope, and afterward took a good rub-down. A large crowd was present, rendering it difficult to enter the clubroom, and all who saw Sullivan exercise left convinced that he was sound in limb and wind, and in the very best condition. Very few persons were permitted to enter the room by Muldoon, but the balcoz!s of the club house, which afforded ajjood ylew of the exercising zoom, were crowded with members and their friends. Across the street 300 or 400 blacks' and whites were gathered, awaiting the time when Sullivan would return to his quarters. The regular train was an hour late reach in e New Orleans. It was met by a large crowd anxious to see Sullivan, news of his arrival not having reached it Sheriff Mallory, of Westchester county, was once more pitched upon bv the crowd as Sullivan. This illusion was furthered by the press gang, who, as they were wheeled away in their carriages, shouted, "Good bye, John" and "Tate care of yourself, Sully," much to Mallory's annoyance and the small boys' grati fication. Mr. Mallory had impersonated Sullivan all the way South, but he did not relish keeping up the deception in the Crescent City. He was glad when his carriage escaped the yelling and shouting black and white boys, who were following him as fast as their legs could carry them, shouting, "That's him," "That's him." "That's Mr. Sullivan." KILRAIN IN CINCINNATI. Washouts Delay His Train so He Misses Connections In the Qoeen City His Party Well Pleased How They Celebrated the Fourth ills Entry Into New Orleans to be a Qalct One. rSPXCIAI. TXLXOnAM TO TUX DISPATCH. Cincinnati, July 4. After leaving Cumberland yesterday, it was one grand ovation everywhere that the Kilrain train stopped. At Deer Park, Oakland, Keyser and Grafton the platforms were crowded, and cheer after cheer went up for the pugil ist While all this was going on, Kilrain was fast asleep in his bunk. Pat Booney and his New York contingent, with Dom Mc Caffrey at the head, . refused to retire until almost daybreak. They had made the night hideous with their songs and loud talk. By 7 o'clock all had arisen pre paratory to taking the 7:55 Southern express from Cincinnati for New Orleans, but the Baltimore and Ohio train was two hours late, on account of the washouts, so they missed it . Kilrain and Mitchell were especially pleased with the change, as they felt it would do Jake good to tike his regular exercise in this city to-day. The other members of the party were delighted to re main over, as it gave them an opportunity to celebrate the Fourth. They drove around the town, visiting almost every barroom and hotel, as well as the baseball grounds, where the Baltimores played the Cincinnatis two games. Murphy, Madden, Mitchell and others were introduced to the Baltimore players, who tendered the party boxes to witness the afternoon game. It was learned that Kilroy Griffin. Hnrnung and Mack had bet on the big fellow, but that did not prevent them from hospitably receiving Kilrain and his friends. Kilrain spent the afternoon and evening in walking, punching the bag, and playing billiards. He retired at 930, to be called at 6 a.m., the Southern Express, by which he goes to New Orleans, leaving at 7 A. si. sharp. A special to-night from New Orleans says: It has been deemed best by the managers to take no risk of the arrest of the pugilists by the Mississippi authorities, and Kil rain will therefore be hurried through the State in the same way as Sullivan, the train running outside of schedule time, making no stoppages, and giving the officers no chance to serve any processes. The latter part of the Sullivan programme that of smuggling him into the city will not be adopted.' It has been determined to give Kilrain a public reception and a triumphal entry. A special train to meet him has been chartered by Prof. Denny Butler, of the Southern Athletic Clhb, the rival athletic organization ot New Orleans. Upon his arrival he will be greeted by the President of the club and a delegation of its members, escorted to the spacious club house, where quarters have been provided for him and his trainers.

Dr. Frances B Jerome, President of the Yellow Cross A- sociation, who has been here since afew days after the flood, this evening addressee! a letter to Dr. Fanny Dickinson, President of the Women's Illinois Medical Sanitary Association, in which she severely criticised the actions of the State officers for their, slow action in the matter of alleviating dhW tress in the valleys. She advises the people of Chicago not to send their donations to the State Committee, but to give the fund lying in that city to some of their public officials, for distribution among the needy ones. By doing this, President Jerome says, the peo ple will get the money. The letter was written in reply to one re ceived from Dr. Dickinson, in which the latter stated there was a strong probability that the Chicago fund would be turned over to the Braidwood, HI., striking coal miners. In her letter Dr. Jerome says: a Plain-spoken: woman. In my going from house to bouse to-day, I found six or eight people in every dwelling lying on the floor, without comforts, pillows or sheets. It Is an absolute fact tbat a great many of the people are worse off to-day than" they were the day after the flood. Then they were so dazed tbat they could not realize their condition. I do not understand where the money is, and why It is not expended for bt comfort of the people. In Mew York Cit alone there were over a half million dollar donated in 14 days. The people who gave thw had better make inquiry as to where itls going, Tb.e money is not needed six months from now, and if the present state of affairs Is kept up 14 days more, the moral character of the people of Johnstown and vicinity will be ruined. The scenes of desola tion drive men to drink and women to vice. Mine out of ten of the people have not a room of their own. and are only Urine on the suffer ance of their charitable neighbors. The con dition of those living In tents is worse. Five or six families cook on one stove, out of two or three saucepans. The washing of clothes iv impossible under the circumstances. The chil . dren arc running the streets wild, and are fas" going to destruction,. The boys and girls, 14, IS and 18 years of age, are left to their own das vices.

We wonld like to bare two matrons from the Eastern day nurseries. There is not a woman here who could manage the work. By senulng the children to school it will give their mothers a chance to clear up their nouses, and wonld keep the children away from scenes of vice. As we have rags enough here among poor clothing to supply the whole town with rag carpet, we could employ the larger children cutting and sewing rags. When they get a roof over their beads they would then have enongh material for carpets for their rooms. My advice to any one who has funds in their hands for the sufferers la : "Do not give it to the State Committee." I know that this is plain talk but we have come to the time when it is necessary to talk plainly. In order to let the people know what yon want The money they now bare will probably be expended months from now, after the red tape has been removed from around It If the neople of Chi cago send their funds to the Yellow Cross, 1 will bold myself personally responsible for It, and will give bonds for the proper distribution of it. If I had $75.000 1 would give the people what they want inside of a week. OKDEES THATTVEBK NEVEB FILLED. I know tbat there were orders issned 14 days azo for mattresses, cots, eta, which have never been filled. Some of these were for delicate women and sick children. The Quartermas ters hare done all they could, but they have not got what the people want I would like to ascertain why the articles absolutely needed are not purchased out of the funds contributed for this purpose. The people gave the money for relief, and why the officers do not use it to alleviate distress I do not know. What is needed first of all is houses. Where the 600 bouses that tho newspapers have been talking of are I do not know. I have not even seen them, and I have been all over the differ ent boroughs. The officers are now building two business blocks, but I do not see any ne cessity of stores when there is nobody living about tbem to buy stuff. A great many of the people are so discouraged, being pnt off from day to day, tbat they are growing reckless, and heaven only knows where It is going to end. 1 am sure that if the men who have the matter in charge would see the lives tbat are being wrecked by their dilatory proceedings they would hurry up and do something. It is mucn easier for a young girl to fall than it la to re gain her whole life. TOO MUCH BED TAPE. I know tbat this would be a laborious task, but nothing would suit me better than to have supplied the people with what tbey need. This is what we came here for and I Intend to fulfill my mission. The level-headed people of this vicinity did not wish to see the money put In the hands of parties who would wind half a dozen yards of red tape around it. What we have been trying to do is to put the people on their feet, and time means more to tnem than money. I refer to the future welfare of those in whose behalf you as well as I am working.

The three compa nies of the Fourth Beglment that are still here will remain on duty for an indefinite period under .the charge1 of Captain Nesbit, senior captain of the regiment For the first time in five weeks, Adjutant General Hastings was not seen to-day riding over the ruins generally supervising the work being done. He lies in his tent with an attack of cholera morbus contracted this morning. At a late hour to-night he was apparently all right, but Dr. Silliman, who had him in charge, had to forbid him from talking too much. The General will leave on Tuesday for his home, but will visit Johnstown once a week to see how the work is progressing. To-night he said to your correspondent: The work will be in such shape by Tuesday next that we can allow the officers to go home. The Conemangb river has been pretty well cleared up. The debris lias been removed from the stream as far up as Keraville. and one con tractor can take hold of and finish it. The work of three of the contractors has been un satisfactory, and 1 think if it was turned over to one man it wonld be expedited. When the officers leave this will not mean that the State is to drop the work.- I will spend one day a week here, and that will be enongh to oversee matters. The same system of reports to the Quartermaster General will be continued. The four contractors who have been doing the work were notified to-night that they will be discharged on Sunday evening. The one contractor to whom ths work will then be given will be allowed COO men. 'Chief Engineer Douglass, who has been directing all the work, tendered his resignation this evening.

John Donnelly, one of the attendants in the Millvllle morgue, had both his legs cut off this morn ing by a passenger train running over him near Cambria City. He was taken to the Cambria hospital, where he died in a few hours. Donnelly has an interesting history. He and another man reached here the Saturday after the flood. They turned in and worked all day with General Hastings, Colonel Spangfer and others in removing bodies from the river. In the evening Donnelly and his companion made a pot of coffee and General Hastings and Colonel Spangler sat down to drink it with them. "Well, men," said Colonel Spangler, as he took up his cup of coffee, "you have worked pretty hard to-day. Where did you hail from?" "To tell you the truth, boss," replied Donnelly, looking the colonel straight in the face, "we are two tramps." "Tramps" exclaimed Colonel Spangler, when he got his breath, "and do you mean to tell me this calamity has touched you so that you will work?" "This, sir, was more than we could stand," replied Donnelly. "We will work here as long as you want us." Donnelly and his companion were as signed to the Millvllle morgue. The latter left several days ago, but Donnelly has re mained, working steadily and faithfully every day. Only yesterday he appeared a't Dr. Sillman's headquarters and told him that John Miller, one of the employes at the morgue, was stealing goods. He told the doctor the man intended to leave to-day and he would have to be caught soon. At the doctor's suggestion Donnelly went before 'Squire Bland and caused a warrant to be issued for Miller's arrest An Altoona policeman took the warrant and went to Miller's room, in the Fourth ward school house, and found that he had two trunks filled with clothing, silverware and other articles. Miller was fined (6 by Judge Bland to-day. Early this morning Donnelly and J. B. McAllister left trje morgue and went down to Cambria City. They found a saloon open and both imbibed rather freely. Dtonelly was staggering when he left the salooi. McAllister and he started up the railroa.1 tracks together when the day ex press tame thundering around the curve below the stone bridge. The two men were on the iown track, and just before the train reached them McAllister says Donnelly de liberately threw himself across the track. Before anyone could help him his legs had been cut off. PLEASED WITH APPEAEANCES. The Pittsburg Belief Committee More Than Dellahted With Its Ladles. rPBOu A STArr conExsrossxirT. Johnstown, July 4.

Tramps and idlers have been in the habit of loafing in Cambria borough, but the wide-awake borough offi cials took a step to-day which will cause them to be scarce hereafter. A squad of militia was sent for, and under the lead of the borough police, the whole town was patroled and everyone who could not give a good account of himself was arrested. Picks and shovels were procured from General Hastings, and a guard with a shot gun was placed over them, and they were placed to work on the streets. Only Two Bodies Found To-Day. Johnstown, July 4.

Milwaukee, July 4. The big brewery of Falk, Jung & Borchert, in Wauwatosa, just beyond the city limits, was totally de stroyed by fire this afternoon. The loss is $1,000,000, and the insurance but (350,000. The brewery was shut down to give the employes a holiday, and only a few men were in the building. The fire spread so rapidly that they had all they could do to save themselves from being cut off. It is supposed that the fire started in the malt house, and thus communicated to the group of seven larger buildings, all of which were reduced to ashes within two hours. In the storage house were 52,000 barrels of beer, but little of which was saved. Then the big vats burst, the beer ran out of fire doors in a stream seven inches deep. The Milwaukee fire department responded to a call for aid, but owing to the scarcity of water could hardly do anything. Two hundred men are thrown out of employment until the firm can rebuild. The firm had just completed a $100,000 addition, and put in o $50,000 ice machine, both of which are a total loss.

A Kansas City Manufacturer Sends a Ballet Through Ills Brain, Kansas Citt, July 4. The dead body of Francis D. Cammann, President of the Kansas City Curbing Works, was found in an alley in the rear of No. 1,431 Holmes street this morning. A bullet-hole in his right temple told the manner of death and a SG-caliber revolver clasped in the dead man's right hand showed, in all proba bility, who was responsible for his death. Cammann lived at 1009 East Fifteenth street with his wife and two children. Mrs. Cammann had noticed for some time that her husband was acting strangely, and yesterday particularly'' so. He went down torn in the evening. Nothing was seen of him until his dead body was found this morning. He is known to have been mixed up in several crooked affairs, and some of bis friends say he told them that plans were being formed for his former pals , to assassinate him. The police discredit this phase of the affair, the circumstances sur rounding the finding of the body proving that Cammann committed suicide. FOUR MORE STARS Are Placed in Columbia's Cluster Amid General Rejoicing. ALL THE NORTHWEST 1H A BLAZE Constitutional Conventions Meet in the Various Capitals. A LITEM CONTEST IN WASHINGTON Even the Indians Joined is the Celebrations Held at All Foists. The two Dakotas, Montana and Washing ton were duly ushered into the Union yes terday. The occasion was celebrated throughout the Northwest with every pos sible manifestation of joy. A temporary organization was effected of the Constitu tional Convention of each new State. Con testing delegates caused a lively fight at Olympia. St. Paul, July 4. Although all of the formalities are not yet completed, four new stars now twinkle in Columbia's diadem. The Constitutional Conventions in all of the new States have taken the initial steps to this end. At Sioux Falls at noon to-day, to the music of half a dozen brass bands and the hearty acclaim of thousands of patriotic citizens of South Dakota, the 75 delegates marched to the Germania Hall and effected a temporary organization by the election of Judge Ed gerton as Chairman. D. Carson, a member of the convention of 1885, called the convention to order, and after the calling of the roll, greetings were telegraphed to the Constitutional Conven tions of North Dakota, Montana and Wash ington, and the convention adjourned until to-morrow afternoon. the nobthebn end. At Bismarck the delegates to the North Dakota Constitutional Convention were escorted to the capitol building by a pro cession consisting of soldiers, civil ians and Indians, and were called to. order by Secretary Bichardson, a few minutes after 12. A temporary organ ization was effected by the election of B. F. Fancher, of Jamestown, as Chairman, and J. A. Bra, of Bismarck, as Secretary. After the appointment of a Committee on Bules and Credentials the convention adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow. At Olympia, Wash. T., the Territorial Secretary called the Constitutional Conven tion to order at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the Capitol. Only three delegates were absent A temporary organization was effected by the election of James Z. Moore, of Spokane Falls, as Chairman, and Allen Weir, of Port Towns.end, as Secretary.

The election of Moore is said to be a trade and a Bign of the selection of Judge Hoyt as Permanent President , It is regarded as a trade to give Western Washington the President and Eastern Washington the State capitol. It is generally conceded that iloyt wfll.be chosen-Chairman to-morrow. The convention began fighting as soon as organized temporarily, over the seat ing of the contesting delegates from the northeastern district. A com mittee was appointed to look into the matter. Judge Hoyt, who is conceded the chairmanship, has been speaker of the Michigan Legislature, Gov ernor of Arizona and was also appointed Governor of Idaho, but chose the judgeship here. To the average Northwestern mind ordi nary methods of celebrating the Fourth of July to-day seemed to be entirely inade quate to give expression to the pent-up re joicings of the people who were bidding farewell to their territorial swaddling clothes and stretching their limbs as full fledged members of TJncle Sam's "Stately" family. THE DAY THEY CELEBRATE. The receipt of the news of the passage of the famous "Omnibus bill," while the snow was still on the ground, was the signal for an impromptu Fourth of July celebration, but the people chose the great centennial Independence day for their greatest re joicing, that day having been set apart by Congress as the day for them to meet and perfect their State constitution. The two Dakotas felt an added cause for rejoicing in the beginning of the end in the negotiations for the opening of the great Sioux reservation to settlement, and from every little settlement, with its metropol itan hopes and aspirations, as well as from the more pretentious cities of the former Territories, come reports of great rejoicing over the realization of their labors of these many years. Every little hamlet heard from its own orators and had its own celebration, but there was some sort of anew State celebra tion at one or two points in each of the budding States. While in North Dakota one celebration was looked after by all, in South Dakota the people were unable to condense their enthusiasm to that extent SUNSET COX THEBE. At Huron, where the constitution of 1885 located the capital, a big celebration was held with" Hon. S. S. Cox as orator of the day. At Chamberlain the Sioux Com missioners were mustered Into service, and with the further help ot 200 Indians from the Lower Brule agency the day was glori ously observed. Sioux Falls, however, was the central noint of the South Dakota celebration. The day was devoted to .merry making as I tne oesi means oi evidencing iuo uappiuess of the people, while the orators of the day were selected from the eloquent and tal ented politicians who are in that city in at tendance on the convention. Looking past the flags and bunting of the Dakotas there is to be found a continuation of the gala attire and joyful noises of State hood in the Mountain State, for Montana was not to be outdone by her more easterly sisters in the jollification. Helena, the Capital city was the central point of the re joicings where delegates to the Constitu tional convention held forth eloquently on the benefits of Statehood. Other points in Montana were patriotically following in the wake of their chief city. FOUE FODETfl rATALITIEB. That is the Nomber oC People Who Were Killed at Kansas City. Kansas Citt, July 4.

Afterremarks by the President of the Council Mr. White law Beid, the United States Minister, ad dressed the assemblage. He referred to the generous reception accorded to the gift.

They recalled the historic names of Lafayette and Bocharabeau. They told of an unbroken friendship of 100 years, and of progress, civilization and freedom of hu manity. They promised a continuance of noble rivalry between the two great Bepubhes in their generous efforts to broaden the foun dations of liberty, equality and fraternity. He was proud that the souvenir was in augurated with such, an impressive cere mony and in such an imposing presence. He gladly took the French use ot the Fourth of July as an augury that the young Bepublic would endure as long as Amer icans believed their Bepublic would last Xhe memorial must always be associated with the exposition which would be an historic event of the first rank, more important than any battle ever fought, more important than any dynasty ever established, showing as it did the exhaustless resources and superb growth of a nation which faithfully sets itself to develop the chastities of a free people. Mr. Beid concluded by thanking the municipal council, President Carnot and the people of France. On the pedestal of the statue' is the following: The American Colony In Paris, to the City of Paris, 18S9: We revere France of past be cause her soldiers helped us to become ana Jon. We love France of to-day because she joins with us in the cause of free government HUEDEEEES GE0WING BOLD. A Baltimore Policeman Killed by a Gang of Five Toughs. rsrxciAt. TXUCOHAK TO TUX dispatch. I Baltimore, July 4. Another murder has been added to the many of recent occur rence in this city, the victim this time being a policeman. At an early hour this morning five men were stand ing on a car in South Balti more engaged in an altercation, when Policeman John T. Lloyd called on them to disperse. Instead of obeying, one of the men, Sam Cooper, made an insulting re joinder, and when the policeman at tempted to arrest him he drew a revolv er and fired. Then the rest of the gang jumped on the prostrate man and beat him. The policeman pluckily held on to his man, who fired a second and a third time, each shot taking effect When assistance arrived the dying man was still clinging to his murderer. He lingered un til this evening, when he died. The slowness with which justice is ad ministered here and the frequency of mur ders has alarmed the Board of Police, who to-day united in a letter to the Governor requesting that the Attorney General of the State be detailed to assist in the rrosecution of the murderers. They call attention to the fact that murder cases are usually removed to the counties where the Prosecuting At torney knows little or nothing of the wit nesses or the crimes, and that as a result the murderers get away. The State's Attorney indorses the petition of the Bdard of Police. It is a fact that, though the most unprovoked murders hare been committedtf late, there has nbt been a case in which the murderer has been convicted. GOVERNORS T0GETHEB.

' He went to Atlanta and was interviewed by a reporter, to whom he said the beit citizens of Charleston were satisfied with the justice of the McDow verdict There are about 30,000 white people in Charleston, and most of them consider them selves among the best citizens. A consider able portion of them are also of the opinion that McDow verdict is an outrage upon law and justice, and . that the jury was packed expressly for the purpose of acquitting "him. A good many of the aldermen of Charleston are of this opinion, and it is probable that the services ot a new clerk will be needed shortly.

President and some of the other guests. Congressman Eeed out- lined the future policy of the Republican party in the National Legislature. Tho ceremonies were interrupted by rain. Woodstock, Conn., July 4. The morning opened with a brightening sky and the promise of clearing weather, so that farmers at a distance were well under wajr for Boseland Park before the clouds thick ened and changed the prospects for the day. Before 10 o'clock it was drizzling. Never theless, the crowd came, and was probably as large as last year. It was an enthusiastic and a happy crowd of gennlne New En glanders that came to see the President and to hear the speeches, and was not to be, pre vented by rain. Congressman Bussell. at 11 o'clock, rapped the company to order and, after pleasant words of welcome to the President and other visitors and to the people assem bled, he nominated Governor-Buckley for Chairman of the day. The Governor, in a brief speech, accepted the honor and ex pressed his pleasure at officially welcoming and presenting to the audience the Presi dent THE PEESTDENT TALKS. Hearty applause and ringinz cheers greeted the President as he arose. He spoke as follows: Yonr patriotism has been put to the test by weather conditions as unfavorable as are possi ble In the summer season, but you will not I am sure, bold me responsible for the fact that the bureau having these conditions in choree, has failed to secure to you such weather as we would have desirsd to-day. Laughter.J It is very gratifying to know that your love of coun try and your interest in the perpetuation and rizht observance of thi pleasant celebration at ( Woodstock has so perfectly triumphed over every impediment We stand to-day as a nation exempt from all fears of loreign hurt. It Is not in the power of any people upon earth much to harm us ex cept our own people. We do not sa this in any spirit of boastf ulness but rather 1- one ot thankfulness for that divine Providence which , has given us such a location among the nations of the earth tbat no people of great power touches us on any side. All the more exempt from thoughts of foreign assault ought our thoughts turn to dangers which are internal A CITIZEN'S DCTT. and from which alone we can have serious harm.

I desire to thank these comrades of the great army of the Union for their escort and attendance here to-day. Sorely those who in peril, on the red edge of battle, bare shown their love to the flag, will not fail to be good citizens now that they have returned to those abodes of peace and civil pursuits. To all of you who have gathered from these Connecticut homes 1 desire to express my thanks for your Unrt and pleasant reception. There are behind mi several gentlemen with transcripts in their pockets who are burning for an utterance, and I will again to-day do tbat which I have so much formed the habit of doing at Washington give war to Senators and members of Congress. Hearty cheers and cries of "Good." As the President resumed his seat three cheers were given with a will. Senator Hawley was next introduced and spoke briefly in advocacy of worthy celebration of the Fourth of July. It was boys who were taught to celebrate the Fourth of July that SAVED THE UNION. General Hawley's address was off-hand, hut full of earnestness, and was greatly ap- I (landed. Associate Justice Miller lol owed. He made a short and excellent ad dress. Congressman Thomas B. Beed, of Maine, was the next speaker introduced. His subject was "The Victory." Among his ntterances were these: It was no less a person than theDoke of Wellington who remarked: "There Is only one thine more demoralizing than defeat, and that Is victory." I have not taken the trouble to verify the citation, because the truth Is so solid and sound that it needs no bnttress or support from even the most illustrious name. The Republican party won a great vio tory last November. But something more than no step backward is demanded by the people of the United States. It behooves the people, therefore, to consider Just how much of power tbey have granted and just how much they have a right to require. The question ot the suppression of votes in the South must be met, not rashly nor angrily, bnt with a determination that in national elec tions and wherever else tbey may have the right and power, those who by the Constitution and law are entitled to help govern this coun try shall help govern It Applause. It will be the province in due time of the REPUBLICAN MEMBEB3 of Congress to say, not of their awn sweet will, but after a full, free and Impartial confeienco with all the Republicans, and. representing tbem all. what measures shall betaken. Con gress is never strong except when the people are vigorously and. vociferously behind it If yon want Congress to do even what it wants to do itself, yon had better help from outside all yon Know how. When Mr. Beed had finished. Governor Buckley introduced Secretaries Noble and Tracy. Neither was on the programme, hut each made a few remarks in a patriotic strain. The first speaker of the afternoon was President Gath, of Bulger's College, ' whose subject was "Liberty Xhrougn Al legiance to Law." Will Carlton then read his poem "Bhymes to the Day," and Senator Hiscock got -through part of bis address on "American Political Pessimism." But the rain soon began to fall more heavily than ever, and Mr. Bowen announced that the rest of the programme, consisting of the doxology and the benediction wonld be carried out at his residence.
