SFEAKS TO THE BLOOMINGTON PEOPLE
"Woodstock, Conx., July 4. Henry C.
Bowen'gathered a distinguished company of
American orators at Koseland Vax to-day
for participation in the Fourth of July
celebration. ChaunceySI. Depew, "William
McKinley, General Hawley, Senator Al
drich, General Howard and Murat Halstead
were on the list of speakers. John Wana
moker telegraphed that he could not come.
Congressman Charles Russell, of
Connecticut, -welcomed all on be
half of Mr. Bowen, . and then
introdoced General Joseph R. Hawley as
the Trevident of the day. General Hawley'a
tpeech was brief. The immigration ques
tion was the only topic of general import
ance to which he de oted his attention.
He insisted that every immigrant must
become a true and thorough American.
They must not feed upon the venom which
lias "entered their souls as the result of for
eign oppression and tyranny. The General
gave the Bellamy philosophy a kick, then
stopped.
General Howard's Tilt With a Statesman.
General O. O. Howard, the next speaker,
began by praising the regular army. He
said no member of it had ever proved dis
lovaL "No private ever did, perhaps, but a good
nnny officers proved disloyal," ihterrupted
a Congressman on the platform.
"They u ere not as numerous as the dis
loyal members of Congress," tartly replied
tlie General.
The poet of the occasion, Maurice Thomp
son, w?s not present. In his absence the
poem was read by Clarence Bowen. Here
are a few specimen stanzas:
What men we had how strong their hold
On stalwart Liberty!
Oi'-t ui w h.it flawles hero-mold
Those leaders of the free! "
The hand of Heaven reached down and
sealed
The scroll of Jefferson:
The world rang like a stricken shield
When Webster's speech was done.
There w as a pause when Phillips rose,
A :-tart when Greeley wrote:
Then Whittier'b verse and Lincoln's prose
The heart of Duty smote.
The guns of Gettysburg roared loud
Upon our Sacred Hill:
The flashes from that battle-cloud
Were bolts of Freedom's wilL
When patriotic Grant from knightly Lee
Recen ed the truant sw ord,
Upon its hilt hung Freedom's key,
stamped with Hope's latest word.
Fling out our Flag to veil the sun,
Let Texas Tie n ltU Maine,
And Shiloh cry te Lexington
O'er mountain, stream and plain.
Chauncej 31. Depew on Immigration.
Chauncey M. Depew was honored with
three cheers when he was introduced. He
taui:
"The Declaration of Independence was
not an accident; it was a result. It-is the
quality of American liberty that it is the
solvent of all the dangers threatening the
State which other forms of Government
hold in check by force. "Within 50 years
15,000,000 of people have come from foreign
lands and settled in the United States.
E ery period has its own perils. It is safe
to say that they are fewer and less danger
ous than ever before. Immigration is a
danger, but I would be willing to have
the formulation of the methods
by which it should be brought within safe
limitations, and restrictions to representa
thes of Irishj German, Scandinavian and
Italian societies of the United States. "We
want no contract labor to pauperize our
industries; no criminals to prey upon our
communities and till our prisons; no lepers
to debase our blood and deplete our hospital
funds, but we still have room for the honest,
the healthy, the industrious, and the intel
ligent. lliae no patience with the 'weak
kneed, spider-shanked, watery-brained dys
peptics who despair of this republic. I
have no sympathy and only contempt for
watery patriotism.
The Wealth Problem.
"We are said to be in danger to the peril
of great wealth. AVealth is very well dis
tributed iu this country. My experience
is, and I have been connected for 5 years
ns attorney and counsel with men of great
wealth, that eight-tenths of them lose the
fortunes of their lifetime. These are the
perils of corporations. But corporations
arc the creatures of law, and tne creator can
destroy or crush them as he pleases."
lion. If. W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
spoke of the industrial future of 2few Eng
land. Major McKinley was given a very candid
reception when he rose to speak. He said
lie was not present to make a tariff speech or
to talk politics. He did not think that
was appropriate for the 4th of July. The
greater part ol his remarks was confined to
a discussion of the lessons to be
drawn from what he termed the
three speech-making periods of our history.
They were the war for independence, the
adoption ot the Constitution and the war
lor the preservation of the Union. At the
conclusion of Major McKinley's remarks,
which were brief, three cheers were given
for the "next Go ernor of Ohio." Murat
Halstead spoke next on "The Preservation
of the People's Inheritance." Rev. David
Gregs, of Brooklyn, closed the speaking
with a brilliant address on the subject of
"Lojaltj and Americanism."

"W. Daniels, of Virginia, was infroduced at

speech this afternoon. The Senator
had a very select, audience of at
least 4,000 people. His subject
co ered the history ot the world. He started
with Christ and ended with the close of a
most cruel war.
He disposed of the race problem as fol
lows: 'Crohn Smith stood on the shores of
the Atlantic, and, looking over 3,000 miles
of water on one side, and 3,000 miles of land
covered bv Indians and tomahawks on the

PARKERS0N, OF NEW ORLEANS,
THE LEADER OF THE CITIZENS' MOB
OF HENNESSEY'S AVENGERS,
Arouses the Enthusiasm of Bloomlngton to
the Highest Pitch High Praise for
'Blaine Patriotism Alive in the South
The Immigration Question Treated.
Bloometotos', III., July 4. The most
notable and enthusiastic celebration of In
dependence Day in the history of Bloom
ington was that which occurred to-day.
The orator of the occasion was "W. S. Park
erson, of New Orleans, the leader of the
citizens in the Mafia riot in that city. The
Illinois National Guards and civic societies
and a crowd of 12,000 people assembled at
Franklin Park, and Mr. Parkcrson was in
troduced by Mayor Foster. Mr. Parkcrson
was greeted with prolonged cheering.
The scenes which followed the address
can scarcely be described. The assemblage
wildly passed around the orator, cheering
for Parkerson, New Orleans and the South,
shaking hands with him, and speaking
words of congratulation, good will and
esteem for the people here present.
"I am neither a Colonel nor a Judce, but
plain Mister a private citizen of the United
States," were the words with what tho
speaker introduced himself. "We, tho
People," was the subject of his address. The
speaker proceeded: I yield in love of my
country to no man within the borders of it.
Mv pride in this gnvpd Government is not
overtopped by any. In its great
ness I glory, in its unity 1 re
joice, and I hesitate not to say that the
most intensely American spirit and pride
which I have ever seen can be found in tho
lowlands of Louisiana, behind the levees of
the Mississippi river. The Stars and Stripes
have no more faithful lovers than the men
of the new South. None will resent more
quickly any insult to it. This the President
wonld have learned hnd he seen
flt to visit our city, and this
that other man, than whom I think
none greater lives to-day, can feel if
he will only come to ns. We will show him
how we appreciate his genius and admire
his Americanism. I scarcely need say I
mean the great Secretary of State, James
Blaine. Applause.
Another remarkable passage of Mr. Park
erson was in regard to immigration and nat
uralization laws, although it contained no
direct reference to the New Orleans trag
edies. The following was his peroration:
Patriotism is not dead; it slumbereth.
Soporific money has stupefied it has de
stroyed. To the most casual observer it is
manifest that there is a terrible raco in our
country for tho acquisition of wealth, and
that has been the end toward which all the
energy and ability of the land has been bent.
There is the rockupon which our ship of
state may be wrecked. This desire for
wealth has stunted the better desires and
qualities of m.m. Against this we must con
tend. While we are grasping after the
shadow the substance of happiness is being
destroyed.

stands and amusements. Close by the
gates stood large tents for the police and
committees, for the postoffice and for the
telegraph companies. Beyond the great
music hall stood -a dancing pavilion, where
crowds of y Jung persons danced to the airy
tunes of a steam organ. Under the trees in

filled with visiting singers, greeting their
friends and entertaining each other.

speech of hearty welcome and patriotio
greeting. Mayor Haynes spoke after the
Governor, and presented to the visiting
singers the freedom of the city.

Ahiz., July 4. Colonel Cor
bin's command returned here to-day, the
movement against the Moqui's at Oraibe
having been most completely successful.
The region traversed is a rocky and desolate
one, containing scarcely a single spring in
100 square miles.
"When the expedition started, fears were
entertained of Berious trouble, not especi
ally from the Oraibe, but from the danger of
conflicts incidental with, the powerful
-Navajo tribes adjoining, who number
18,000. The Moquis are descendants of
the old cliff dwellers, and for
ases have lived in seven small towns- built
upon high cliffs near the southeast corner of
me xtuvajo reservation. 01.x. ui uiMiuijia
have always been peaceful, but Oraibe, con
taining over 800 inhabitants, has always
been unfriendly, owing to the work of
fanatic medicine men. Last winter they
stubbornly refused to be counted by the
censuB enumerator until persuaded by the
presence of troops'of cavalry. Since then
their chief has become friendly and advised
his people to follow American ways.
This made trouble with the fanatics, and
they resorted to open hostility. They
threatened a surveying party with violence,
and also threatened the destruction of the
Government school and all Americans con
nected with it. The Moquis withdrew from
the vicinity of the school and the Navajos
then threatened not only the Moquis, but
also Americans. A snort time ago, at
the request of the Indian agent,
Captain McClelland, with his troops, ar
rested a Navajo buck who had resisted the
agent This had a salutatory effeot, but
still throngs of idle young bucks, all well
armed, continued to gather and it was feared
some mischief might follow.

WILL DIE II PAIRS.
Plans of Warden Brown- for the
Four Executions at Sing Sings
COULD NOT KILL ALL AT OMJE,
For the Jury and Witnesses Haven't Strong
Enough Nerves.
CHANCES F0K A BUNGLE AEB SLIGHT
SrECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, July 4. Within the week
which begins at midnight to-morrow at
tempts will" be made at Sing Sing to kill
three and probably four murderers by elec
tricity. It is reasonably certain that the
last struggle against the electric death law
has been made, and this week the civilized
world will again hold its breath in expecta
tion of a repetition of the horror which ac
companied the execution, of the death
penalty in the case or William Kemmler at
Aubnrn last August.
There is a vast amount of speculation in
Sing Sing and around the prison as to the
day and hour of the executions, and their
order. Warden Brown has " evidently de
cided upon Jhese matters,, for he has issued
his invitations, but the law will not permit
him to let his decision become public It
is p'retty weU known that he will not delay
the executions until late in the week, for
he has expressedhimseli as anxious to have
them off his hands. It is thought also that
they will take place early in the day.
Will Probably Kill Them in Paris.
A question of gruesome interest which
has much aroused the good people of Sing
Sing is the order and rapidity with which
the four murderers are to be "touched off,"
as the phrase is around the prison and in
town. Will Mr. Brown have them killed
one at a time with intervals of half a day
or a day between, sufficient to perform the
autopsy of each and get his remains buried
in quicklime before the turn of the next?
Or will the warden bring out two at a time,
and as soon as No. 1 is killed clap No. 2
into the chair and have him killed while
the doctors are cutting up No. 1? Or will
he get rid of the entire lot at once, one
after another?
Warden Brown is dumb when these ques
tions are asked. It is interesting to know
that the apparatus at Sing Sing is said to be
capable of killing 25 men an hour if worked
to the best possible advantage. The fact
that only two coffins are stored in the
autopsy room adjoining the death chamber
has given color to a report which is prev
alent in Sing Sing to the effect that War
den Brown is going to execute the murder
ers two at a time. It is said that Mr. Brown
could not secure scientific men and wit
nesses willing to undergo the strain of four
executions in one day, and that he himself
was unwilling to undertake such a job.
Therefore it is said that he will execute the
men in pairs, several days apart, the wit
nesses to be about the same for each pair.
The Power of the Dynamo.
It is true, as Warden Brown says, that
the Auburn horror taught lessons for the
future, but it is also true that the dynamo
that will be used in these executions is of
the same make and power as the one that
failed to supply electricity at Auburn, and
that there have been no improvements of
importance made in the chair or other ap
paratus since the Kemmler slaughter. Still,
Mr. Brown is very confident that this time
there will be no trouble of any sort, and of
course it is probable that the second experi
ment n execution by lightning may prove
successful. For however viewed the com
ing executions are essentially experiments.
The very fact tfiat Kemmler's execution
proved so horrifying a failure intensifies the
experimental nature of this second test of
elecricity as a public executioner.
There are several thines attendant upon
the coming execution which augur better re-
sMlts than at tne slaughter aL.-A.umim; in
,the first place the scientific men and elec
tricians who witnessed the Kemmler exper
iment have learned valuable lessons, which
they will apply in the second experiment.
Particularly have they taken heed of the
fact that
Kemmler Apparently Came to Life
after an exposure to the current of a dura
tion which was thought at the time to be
more than ample to kill him. It is an
nounced authoritatively that there will be
no such horrifying mistake this time. In
the second place there will be no such bun
gling arrangements and no such mystery
about these executions as there was 'about
that of Kemmler. Warden Dunston, ot
Ajuburn, had his switch board and meters in
another than the execution room, and kept
the details of the intensity and volume of
the current "from the knowledge of the sci
entific menftiresent.
To this Ca.y.no one knows definitely the
volume and intensity of the electric current
which was turned into Kemmler's death
chair. It was alleged afterward that the
electric lamps which were attached to the
circuit by a switch for, testing purposes
were not shut off before th'e death switch
was thrown, andthatthey absorbed a large
volume of the electricity intended for exe
cution purposes. -The warden, himself,
asserted afterward that he did not know the
measure of the electric current which
scorched and shocked Kemmler to death.
Everything Will Be In Sight.
Warden Brown is not taking any chances.
There will be no mystery about his execu
tions so far, at least, as the scientific men
present are concerned. His switchboard
and meters are in the execution room, where
the scientific men will examine them before
the current is turned into the chair. Valu
able scientific data will probably be one re
sult of these executions, and if the execu
tions result a second time horribly perhaps
the blame will be placed definitely.
If there proves to be anything wrong with
the apparatus at Sing Sing, it,will not be
because of lack of attention It was all up
months, ago for the execution of some
of these same men before their cases
were stayed last time. Electrician F. F.
Davis at that time' put the apparatus in
working order and tested it It has been
frequently tested since. In September a
cow was killed instantly by it, and it has
often been used and examined since. It is
believed to be in perfect order.
The Chamber of Death.
The chamber of death at Sing Sing is a
temporary frame structure which has been
built inside the prison yard east of the
brick building recently put up as a prison
for the solitary confinement of those con
demned to death. Both the death chamber
and -the "condemned prison, as the new
brick building is called, were built by Cap
tain Charles Hibert, the yard master of the
prison lor fourteen years past. Captain
Hibert has had the arrangement of all of
the details of both, subject only to the re
quirements of the electrician. The build
ings were erected and the apparatus, set up
nnder Warden Brush,' who was succeeded
by Warden Brown last April The dynamo
which will be used in the execution is of
the Westinghouse pattern, one of the three
which Harold P. Brown,wheri the State em
ployed him to provide' apparatus for the
execution rooms, bought on the sly. It is
exactly-like the one used in Auburn and is
capable of producing an electric current of
the same volume and force and no greater.
Excellent Police Service.
The detail of 80 police under command of
Captain Dan Silvis did. exceUentervice at
the park, preventing any serious disorders
and caring for the lost and injured. Cap
tain Silvis kept his men there until every
body had departed.

THE DESEBT LAKE'S SUPPLY.
It Is Pretty Well Estalshed Now Where
the Water Comes From.
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Sam-'Francisco,' July 4. The source of
the water in the dry lake of the Colorado
desert seems to be pretty well established
by investigations of Indian runners. They
ave gone out from Yuma and Salton and
their reports agree that the water comes
from New river, which receives the over
flow from the Colorado river. The theory
that the .water comes from the Gult of Cali
fornia by an underground channel still has
adherents, but the fact that a strong current
was noticed by the Indians in New river
setting toward Salton seems convincing that
it is Colorado river water whch has aroused
so much excitement on the desert. A few
thousand sand bags would probably sop the
overflow from the Colorado below luma,
and the checking of this overflow would at
once end -the current in the New river and
cut off the supply of water pouring into the
desert.
A special from Salton to-day says that a
large amount of salt stored in the ware
houses is being removed, as it is feared the
supports of the building will be washed
away. The water is rising very
slowly, but the lake is surely in
creasing in extent, and it will
soon cover the machinery ot the salt
works. The widest part of this new salt
lake, which may possibly put out of date all
present maps of California, is that part from
Saltan directly across to the base of the San
Jacinto Mountains.
BALLOONIBTS THEILLIHG ESCAPE.
They Come Near Meeting Their Death on
Meadville Electric Wires.
rSrECIAL, TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Meadville, July 4. The only feature
of the celebration to-day which did not ma
terialize was the balloon ascension. At 4
o'clock Prof. Alexander Thurston and
Charles W. Stuart seated themselves in the
basket, and shouted "goodby" to the
crowd. Hardly had the words left their
lips when the wind carried the baUoon
against the electric light wires, and a fear
ful struggle began. Women screamed and
several fainted. Finally the wire broke and
the balloon shot upward, with Thurston and
Stuart clinging to the basket, the horrified
spectators expecting to see them dashed to
the earth.
The balloon was carried eastward by the
wind, and the basket struck the chimney of
the residence of Edward Huidekooper. Then
the air ship came toward the ground in an
orchard near by, and the balloonists jumped
for their lives, while the balloon shot up
like a rocket and was finally lost to sight.
The aeronauts escaped with slight shocks
from the electric light wires and a few
bruises.

A FONT OF LEAMIIG
Opened With Appropriate Ceremonies
at Chautauqua Yesterday.
THE ADDRESS OP BISHOP YKCENT.
Science and Religion Are Working Side ly
Side for Progress.
BIG CELEBEATIOX OP THE lOUfiTE
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Chautauqua, July 4. The "Glorious
Fourth" was, ushered in here by the firing
of crackers and the ringing of the chimes.
Chautauquans are patriotic, and the Stars
and Stripes were unfurled from many a
cottage.
The morning lecture was given bv Prof.
Woodburn, of Indiana, in the temple on
"The Politics of the Declaration of Inde
pendence," and was calculated to inspire
the patriotism of the audience The speaker
said that this was the first government
founded on abstract principles, and
showed how Jeffesron's immortal phrase,
"All men are created equal," had
been variously criticised by philosophers
and writers of every age. He cited the
decision of the Supreme Court in 1857 as
against the proposition, and noted that it
was the keynote of Sumner's addresses in
the arraignment of slavery. So late as 1890
we find Governor Tillman, pf South Caro
lina, denying the first clause, that all men
are created equal, but admitting the second
clause that they are entitled to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
Interpreted According to Jefferson.
The speaker said that our nation had in
terpreted this phrase as Jefferson intended,
and that Lincoln was the product of the
maxim. "Let us," he said, "again pledge
on this day our lives, our fortunes and onr
sacred honors in desense of this principle,
which is the keystone of the Chnstrian re
ligion and means the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man."
In the afternoon the "Glorious Fourth"
was celebrated in the amphitheater with
appropriate exercises. The big building
was beautifully decorated with- flags and
bunting and wore a very patriotic aspect.
Short addresses were made by Dr. Widener,
of Nebraska; Colonel Parker, of Chicago,
Kev. McMillan, of Allegheny City, and
Bishop Vincent. Colonel Parker said that
it was a great mistake not to make more
noise by the firing of jguns and crackers in
the celebration of Independence Day. He
said that gunpowder was the only thing
that could do full justice to the feelings of
a patriotic American on the Fourth.
ChanceUor Vincents Annual Address.
At 3 o'clock the -opening proper of the
University here took place, and the students
and teachers of the several'colleges, as well
as the Teachers' .Retreat, gathered in the
amphitheater to hear Chancellor Vincent's
annual address. This was a remarkably
suggestive and significant utterance, and
the Bukop bad evidently taken great care
in, its preparation. The subject was: "A
Mistaken Notion."
"Teachers and students of the summer
schools,", said the Chancellor, "Chautauqua
has a positive religious iaitn. it has no
creed at the gate to impose on anyone. It
asks no questions."
The design of the address was to show
that, in holding the theistic faith, Chau
tauqua is allying itself with all the great
leaders of human thought the world over,
scientists, philosophers, historians and
statesmen. This is not the common idea.
It is generally supposed tiat between
science and religion there is a
necessary hostility. The Christian minis
try is in fact more interested in the latest
discussions of the philosophical, scientific
and social problems than any other class of
men. Many of the most able books are
written by ministers, and college presidents
and professors are usually Christians.
Science's Protest Against Absurdities.
The Bishop showed that many of the
deviations from, the faith on the part of
scientists Is rather on their part a protest
against the absurdities and misrepresenta
tions of theology. The flings at religion by
the skeptics are usually in reply to flings at
science by the pulpit. The list of great
names to be enrolled on the side of faith in
the essentials of religion is almost endless.
The speaker then gave a long list of sci
entists, philosophers and statesmen who
were pronounced in their religious faith,
such as Bacon, Newton, Milton, Tennyson,
Browning, Faraday, Agassiz and Max Muel
ler. "But," says the young stndent who is
passing through the first stage of religions
doubt, "why have you not quoted Spencer,
Huxley and Darwin? Do not these high
priests of science give the weight of their
influence against the doctrine of God and
immortality, as well as the teachings of
"Jesus Christ?"
"I answer, 'No; a thousand times no!' "
exclaimed the Chancellor. "These men are
not atheists, and they have not committed
themselves against all that is radical in the
realm of religious faith."
The speaker then gave testimonies from
Darwin, Huxley, Spencer and Tyndall in
defense of the reality of religion." of the
real harmony between true religion and
true science, and the impossibility of ac
counting for nature and man without the
hypothesis of a first cause, infinite and abso
lute. The speaker closed with an earnest
appeal to, all Chautauquans to cultivate a
large and intelligent faith.
Bringing Teachers and Students Together.
Prof. Harper, of Yale, then opened the
schools of sacred literature in a brief ad
dress, and not a few embryo ministers en
rolled themselves as students. The stu
dents' reception took place to-night in
Hotel Atheneuni and was largely attended.
This was intended to bring the teachers and
students into closer acquaintance, as well
as foster an esprit du corps here.
At 9:30 to-night the pyrotechnic side of
Chautauqua let itself loose in fireworks of
every description. Chinese lanterns and
gay streamers, together with red lights,
made the Assembly grounds resemble the
Fourth of Julv paradise, or. more nronerlv
speaking, the dream of the, small boy as to.

ought to draw down-town

they did, and why wouldn't
they? Everybody wants the
most for their money whether
they buy low, medium or
high-class goods where is
the person so foolish or so
careless in buying that will
pay more than the lowest
price? This carefulness in
buying is what caused the
rapid growth of our busi
