OXE OF THE MINES BLOWN UP,
And the Burviring Guards Who Held It

HO GAUNTLET RUN BI 1 HE PRISONERS
' 'Wallace, Idaho, July 11. The strained
situation in the Cceurd' Alene labor troubles
culminated this morning between 5 and 6
o'clock. The events of the day previous
consisted of challenges from non-union men
at the 'Frisco and Gem mines to the union
miners at the town of Gem, and everything
seemed to indicate a speedy rupture.
Both Gem and 'Frisco mines were guarded
by men behind barricades, armed with
"V7inchesters,and as the canyon is narrow in
which the mines are located? the men be
hind the barricades could sweep the two
railroad tracks and the country with
bullets. The Gem mine barricade is within
1100 feet of the center of the town of Gem.
This morning, at 5 o'clock, a miner from
Gem started for Burke. "When opposite
the 'Frisco mine, he was fired upon. He
Tan back several hundred yards to Gem,
where the shot had been heard, and soon
the miners in the town gathered with arms.
,They marched in a body toward the 'Frisco
mill, located directly in front of the
mine.
The First Bloodshed of the Battle.
"When hardly within rifle range, a volley
from the 'Frisco mill greeted the miners
and lead whistled all about them. They
scattered, and a regular battle ensued. One
miner and one non-union man were killed,
and six wounded daring the engagement.
The miners, in the meantime, went around
the hills up the canyon above the mine,
loaded a car with 750 pounds of giant pow
der and sent the car down the track toward
the Frisco mine. Directly in front of the
mill an explosion occurred, shattering the
mill to splinters, making it a complete
wreck. The non-union men then showed
the white flag and surrendered. They were
marched down to the Miners' Union Hall
and guarded, no indignities being offered
after the surrender.
A rumor is now current that 20 non-union
miners were killed in the mill when it was
destroyed, but it is impossible now to get
any confirmation on that point.
"While the fight was KinS oa at 'Frisco,
the Gem guards suddenly began firing volley
alter volley into the town of Gem, riddling
the buildings with bullets.
A Ftzht and llien a Trace.
John "Ward, a citizen, was shot through
the arm, and Gus Carlson, a union miner,
was shot and killed. Attempts to recover
Carlson's body were met with volleys from
ne Gem breastwork, and when the body
was recovered an hour afterward, it was
lifeless, another bullet having been sent
through the breast. JS'o shots were returned
fvom Gem until the armed miners from
'Frisco, halt a mile above Gem returned.
At 8 o'clock a tnice occurred, and the
fSherifi, District Attorney and Deputy
(United States Marshals appeared on the
scene. The train was stopped by armed
guards at the Gem mine. The Sherifl took
the mail on his shoulders and passed on to
Gem. The guards leveled their rifles at
him, but dropped them when they learned
his identity. At Gem several hundred men
were huddled in the street with rifles and
revolvers.
Peace negotiations were immediately set
on foot and at 12 o'clock the mine force sur
rendered to the union men. The number of
killed, so far as can at present be learned,
is lour, and about ten wounded, thoueh
there may be bodies under the 'Frisco mill.
The Dead and the Wounded.
Two of the killed are Gus Carlson and
Harry Cummmzs, union miners. The other
two are non-union men, names unknown.
Among the wounded are John Ward, citizen
of Gem; Hugh Campblell, struck with rifle
over head, not seriously injured; J. AV.
Gaukardoger, union miner, shot through
hip, will die; Gam Peters, from Tacoma,
shot in head, but not fatally; George Petti
bone, union miner, shot through hand.
'Frisco and Gem were the only non-union
places in the cast end ot Couer d' Alene.
There is still considerable excitement every
where, but no further trouble is expected.
Abont CO men in the mine surrendered.
Governor Willey has ordered Companies
A, I, X, G, of this city, to report at 8 p. ar.
and hold themselves in readiness to proceed
to the scene of trouble. It is not thought an
effective State force can be sent there.
United States Marshal Pinkham has laid
the matter before Attorney General Miller
at Washington, the outbreak having been in
defiance ot the Federal court injunction.
The Grievance nt the Miners.
The cause of the strike was the demand
ot the union miners of the district for S3 50
per day for every man working under
' ground. The mine owners held that un
skilled laborers should be paid only $3.
"When the miners refused to accept the
scale the mines were closed. The owners
declared excessive freight rates were the
cause ot the reduction.
The lockout was begun April 1 by the
Mine Owners' Association, and 3,000 miners
were thrown out ot work. Since then the
mine owners have been making a struggle
to run their mills with non-union men and
guards. The tension has been great for
months, and the opinion has prevailed that
only a spark was needed to start. the flames
of riot. The example at Homestead and the
decision of the United Statcb Courts at
Boise, making a perpetual injunction
against the Miners' Union, brought matters
to a head.
A later dispatch says: "It is impossible at
this hour (7 p. M.) to learn the exact con
dition ot affairs in the Couer d' Alene mines.
It is known, however, that nine men are
dead; that the Frisco mill has been de
stroyed by dynamite, and that the Gem
mine has surrendered to the strikers and the
employes taken to Wallace. A dispatch
from the superintendent of the Gem mine
reports one man killed at Gem and the
other eight at Frisco."
Ntw Hooks for the Library.
The Allegheny Library Committee met
last night and recommended the appropria
tion of 15,000 for new books for Carnegie
Library. The committee authorized also
the closing of the library for two weeks to
allow the employes a vacation. The
Auditing Committee was called to meet, but
iailed to secure a quorum.

WANT AN ACCOUNTING.
Catherine Dixon and Edward Magee Ask
That the Hervey Oil Company Explain
the Condition of Its Finances Com
plainants Dissatisfied With the State of
Affairs.
A bill in equity was filed' yesterday by
Catherine Dixon and Edward Magee,
executors of Chris G. Dixon, against the
Hervey Oil Company, Limited. The de
fendant company, it was stated, was formed
in January, 1891, to drill oil wells. The
capital was 12,000. The late Chris G.
Dixon was a stockholder. The indebted
ness of the company is $23,000 and its In
come from eight wells 51,800 per
month. The plaintiffs state that
they are dissatisfied with the
management of the company which is in
the hands of G. S. Martin, James Skelly,
George Agnew and H. E. Ueely, who have
a one-halt interest in the company. It is
charged in the bill that they have misap-
Eropriated funds of the company and made
irge purchases in the name of the company
and never delivering the goods to the com
pany, and have charged up large salaries
for whijh they give no service. The court
is asked to order an accounting and appoint
a receiver and grant an injunction to pre
vent the sale of any of the assets of the
company.
CTJEI0US CHIMIN AL CASES.
A Jnror Who Did Sot cree With His Con
ferees Is Reprimanded.
There was an unusual amount of business
disposed of in Criminal Court yesterday.
There were a couple of extraordinary cases
tried with a number of peculiar fecturea at
tached to each. The first surprise ot the
day developed when the jury in the W. "W.
Stivers case came in. The jury went out
Friday evening and sealed its ver
dict Yesterday morning the fore
man was about to deliver the
verdict when a juror protested, say
ing he did not concur in it. Judge
Porter looked astonished for a moment and
then grew provoked and administered a se
vere censure to the juror. The latter in
sisted that the verdict, which was one of
guilty, wasnot a just one, and he could not
acquiesce in it The jury was then sent
out again and they disagreed, making it
necessary for Stivers to be given anew
trial.
Another peculiar case was that of Lud
wiga Verbinsky, charged with illegally as
sociating with Joseph Levendovitz. Mrs.
Verbinsky left her husband in the old coun
try about ten years ago because, as she says,he
abused ber. She became acquainted with
Levendovitz a few years ago and has since
lived with him. Tliey have one child. She
has two other children that Levendovitz
has taken care of, and says he is willing to
continue their support, notwithstanding he
knows of the husband's existence. The
womau represented that she had no other
means of support for herself and three chil
dren, and Judge Magee intimated that he
was inclined to permit this state of affairs
to exist. The woman was convicted but
the court suspended sentence upon the pay
ment ot costs. Levendovitz paid the costs.
MINOR CHIMIN AL CASES.
Fines and Sentences Imposed Upon Offend
ers Against the taw.
The jury is out in the case of Sarah Kerr,
charged with the larceny of $300 from
Elizabeth Applegate, of Forward township.

THE CITY ENJOINED.
It Cannot Interfere With the Philadelphia
Co. In Layinc the Fifth Avenne Pipe Line.
Judge Evting yesterday handed down a
decree in the case of the Philadelphia Com
pany against the city of Pittsburg and Chief
Bigelow, brought to restrain the city from
interfering with the company in the work of
repairing its pipe line on Fifth avenue.
The decree continues the preliminary in
junction against the city, and requires that
the work shall be done in a good and work
manlike manner, and commenced at once
and continued in order not to interfere
needlessly with the city in the work of re
paving the avenue.
The Old Timers Are Not In It.
While at our other store at Big Island,
Va., last April, Iwas taken with a very
severe attack of diarrhoea. I never had it
worse in my life. I tried several old-time
remedies, such as blackberry wine, pare
goric and laudanum without getting any
relief. My attention was then called to
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Bemedy by Mr. R. C. Tinsley.who had been
handling it there, and in less than five min

relieved. O. G. Bttrford,

GETTING INTO ' LINE.
Dr. Depew Says tbe Young Workers
Are for the Republican Ticket.
REASONS WHY TflEI SHOULD BE.
Organized Enthusiasm to Win as It Fm
Often Done Before.
NO DOUBT ABOUT NEW TORE BTATf.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCtt.l
New York, July 1L During a long con
versation Dr. Chaunoey-M-'Depew has out
lined his reasons why the Bepublican ticket
should receive the hearty and nndlvided
support of the business community. Dr.
Depew was confident that the ticket, as
nominated at Minneapolis, was already as
sured the full strength that can be polled
within the party line, and naturally felt
confident of the election of Harrison and
Held.
"Battles are won and lost by the enthusi
asm ot the young men," commenced Sir.
Depew, "but enthusiasm does not amount
to much unless organized and properly di
rected. The wideawakes did immense good
in earlier times for the Bepublican party,
but they were local and had no general di
rection. As I said before, nothing can be
accomplished without organization on a
broad, comprehensive and national plan.
"The League of Bepublican Clubs meets
this requirement. It is a superb auxiliary
to the regular organization. Its rooms are
recruiting stations for the party and its re
cruits are the party's best fighters. These
League clubs give the touch of the elbow
which inspires confidence and the step to
the music of Bepublican principles that the
Bepublican soldier knows is common to his
comrades all over the United States.
A Tribute to the Young Men.
"In every town where the League is or
ganized its meetings are the attraction for
the young men of all parties. Republican
ism only needs to be properly presented to
young men to have them adopt the princi
ples and join the party. Old methods reach
the young voters only in Gubernatorial and
Presidental elections, but the League is an
experience meeting in perpetual session
with the praying benches always awaiting
occupants."
After navine this tribute to the vounc
workers in the party, in whose work Dr.
Depew seemed to place the utmost reliance,
he continued, in answer to a general ques
tion in reference to the issues in the coming
campaign, as follows: "The great affirma
tive issue of the Benublican party politics
is a protective tariff; and is an immensely
strong issue, because it is American. Its
underlying principle is American for the
profit, the welfare and the happiness of
Americans. This means American in the
broadest sense that is to say, all who are
here in this country, and either have become
or intend to become American citizens. It
excludes only those whose capital and labor
is in foreign countries, and who wish to in
troduce their products into this country
because they claim that their pauper labor
will enable them to undersell in our mar
kets the products of our factories, unless
we also pauperize our labor.
Tariff for Worklngmon's Benefit.
"It is for this reason that we believe in
taxing by a tarifl which mainly goes for the
benefit of the workingman. It has been
demonstrated that the immense opportuni
ties of our home market stimulate competi
tion and invention, so that the home prod
uct is being constantly reduced in price to
the consumer, without reducing the wages
of the workman, whose labor constitutes so
large an element of its cost. The Demo
cratic platform, on the contrary, con
tinued Dr. Depew, "if carried out would
raise the revenue for carrying on the gov
ernment from a few articles like spirits,
wines, jewelry, tobacco, tea, cofiee and
sugar, and let in free all tbe products of
iron and its incidents. Also, all manu
factures in wood, in silk,tin wool, in cotton,
and all' other fabrics would be admitted
free. This means the bringing of "American
manufactures and American labor in direct
and immediate competition with the fright
ful labor condition that exists all over
Europe.
The Silver Question Straddled.
"Both the platforms," said Mr. Depew,
"stand for honest money, but the Demo
crats, by a vote including three-fourths of
their members in both Houses oft Congress,
have, given notice to the country that they
will enact laws putting in circulation a
silver dollar worth TO cents just as soon as
the Presidental election is over and they
are relieved from the peril of that sort of
legislation during a campaign. This is al
ways providing they are in a condition to
escape the certain veto of President Harri
son. Dr. Depew smiled significantly as he
made the above proviso, and then continued:
The Democrats present no affirmative
Erinciple in the present campaign that will
enefit the country or improve the condi
tion of its people. Their only cry is that if
the Hepubiicans are succssful in controlling
both Houses of Congress, and in electing
their President, the people must expect laws
to De enacted tnat will protect every citizen
in casting his vote, and also in such protec
tion of the ballot-box that every vote will
be counted just as it is cast. They claim,
further, that the enforcement of this princi
ple will in some unaccountable manner de
stroy the country, and on this they base
their cry tor the election of the ticket
nominated at Chicaso. In other words,
this is the issue on which they propose to
make the coming campain."
Mew York Getting Into 1,1 ne.
"When asked in reference to the condition
of matters within the Bepublican ranks at
the present time, and the prospects of the
party being able to make a successful and
aggressive fight, both before the election
and at the polls, Dr. Depew said: "There
never has been a ticket nominated in a
National Convention that has been received
by Republicans with more universal
approval than that of Harrison and Held,
All past differences are rapidly healing in
this State, and the people generally are well
satisfied with the result ot what was done in
Minneapolis. I know, this to be a fact
personally, and the State committee informs
me that there is not a whisper of dissent or
discontent in any part of this State," said
Dr. Depew, in, conclusion. "They say that
Bepublicans are united, aggressive,
enthusiastic and confident of success."
OHIO CONSIDERED SOLID.
The Mew Chairman Says .the State Will
Give Its TJnal Republican Majority
The Homestead Affair Mot Thought to
Be a Factor.
C0LTJMBUS,0., July 11. Special The
Bepublican State Executive Committee
will open its headquarters next Monday,
and- from then till the election the great
forces in the Buckeye State will be gen
erated from the committee rooms in this
city. Major Dicks, the-new chairman, was
in the city to-day, in conference with Can
didate for Secretary of State Taylor. Major
Dicks is a great believer in a systematic
organization and proposes to see that the
Bepublican vote in the State is got out
next November.
"We will prepare for a campaign of edu
cation," said the chairman, who believes
the tariff question will occupy the first
position in matters of issue.
"What is the outlook?" wag asked the
Chairman.
"It couldn't be oetter. I find the Be
publican' party in every county alive and
eager lor the fray: There is no question
but President Harrison will get the usual
majority in Ohio."
"What effect, if any, will the Homestead
riots have in the discussion of the tariff?"
"Not any. There is no connection be-
u.3dy&Jk..
tween the differences between a private
company and its men and the maintenance
of a system of tariff which benefits equally
the man and his employe. I believe the
troubles at Homestead will be harmoniously
adjusted."
Chairman Dicks U unable to say when the
campaign will be formally opened. Probably
the first week in August, but the date will
be hereafter determined. "There is talk
about a joint debate between the Taylors.
Do you aprove of it?"
"I have heard of such a thing, but can't
say that I do. Mr. Tavlor, of Champaign,
can answer for himself."
Mr. Taylor is much discouraged over the
outlook. He has been around considerably
already and finds the Bepublicans aroused.
'The party has been lertunate," he says,
"in its selection of Congressional candidates,
which will be of help to the National and
State ticket.
S0ME PLANS DISABRANGED.
Tho Homestead Trouble Makes Several
dinners Absolutely Necessary.
Washington, July 1L Special
Colonel "W. J. Volkmar, Assistant Adju
tant General of the War Department, was
detailed several days ago to attend the
National Guard encampment Until this
evening he was to do so, but after a consul
tation between Secretaries Elkins and ros
ter it was decided he should not go. The
Federal military authorities are much in
terested in the prospective operations of
the militia at Homestead, but they wish to
be careful not to give the suspicion even of
giving tbe National Guard assistance in this
matter.
General Schofield reiterated to-day his
belief that the trouble at Homestead would
subside upon the appearance of the State
militia, but he thinks it is only prudent
that no regular army officer Join Governor
Pattison's staff until this trouble is settled
or until the Federal troops are called on by
the Governor of Pennsylvania, Personally,
the officers of the War Department would
like optical illustrations ot the movements
of military bodies at strikes and lockouts,
but think the wisest plan in this instance is
to retrain from being present, however im
portant might be the practical information
they could gain.
THE TENNIS TOURNEY.
The Championship tor Western Pennsyl
vania at Stake Many Exports In the
Contests Singles and Donbles the Fixt
ures for the Next Five Days Affairs in
the sporting World.
To-day the fourth annual tournament of
the Pittsburg Tennis Club will commence
at the grounds on Craig street. In this
tourney the best players of Western Penn
sylvania have entered, and while the ad
mirers of the game are more less familiar
with the style of play of each, there is a
curiosity to see whether here has been an
improvement during the past year. Some
of the experts have been away from home,
in tournaments in the East, and have given
a good account of themselves wherever they
have been entered. In these games they
may have picked up some points which
will make them all the stronger in the con
test they are about to eater. Those who have
not been away from home have put in their
time in practice on the ground of the club
and elsewhere, so that some of them' may
develop unexpected dexterity with the
rackets this week. At any rate they will
make things interesting and every set will
be fought to the last minute.
Probably never in Western Pennsylvania
has so large a list of excellent players been
entered as there are in this. In scanning
the list it is found that not only are Pitts
burg's experts there, but the tennis clubs
of many of the Weetern Pennsylvania
itowns have entered their best men. No
one knows exactly what these can do, so
that an air of mystery surrounds the con
tests of the first few days. xnere
will be gentlemen's singles and doubles, first,
consolation and runner up prizes
to be awarded in each, but what makes the
tourney of especial interest is the fact that
the Grogan cup, carrying with it the cham
pionship at singles of Western Pennsyl
vania, is at stake. This was rather unex
pectedly won last year, by Mr. C A. Buch,
of Altoona, and he will have t'o defend it
against the winner of the singles.
Experts Who Have Entered.
The grounds and courts on Craig street
are in excellent condition. They have been
in constant use, whenever toe weather
has permitted, ever since the middle of
May. It was hoped that the club house
would be finished by this time, but
there remain a few things, finishing touches
to be put to it. It is, however, a great ad
dition to the grounds, is admirably planned
and lends an air ot prosperity to the vicin
ity that was missing last year.
"According to the entry list the following
gentlemen will be in singles:
Messrs. Moorhead, Valll, Wendt, Porter,
Clnisty. W. Peteis, Pier, O. Edwards, Mur
ray, . X. Barr. R. R. Reed, Ewlng, Coster,
Burns, C. J. Donnelly, W. T. Treadway, D.

Hoopes and J. S. Gillespie.
The doubles will bo as follows: Messrs
Moorhead and lteed, Christy and Burns,
Porter and Woods, Valll and Ewlnjr, Beed
and Treadway, Barr and Coster, Pier and
Edwards, TV endt and Hoopes, Donnelly and
Peteis, and Tibbey and Kelly.
Play will begin eaoh afternoon at 2 30
o'clock. Trial matches will be the best two
out of three sets and the finals three out of
five.

HAVING A HARD TIME.
Quay's Anti-Sunday Opening of the
Columbian Exposition
MEETS WITH MUCH OPPOSITION.
fome Senators Want Certain repayments
Open for Those Who
CANT TISIT THEM AT OTHER TIMES
"Washington, July 11. The two princi
pal questions before the Senate to-day were
the House anti-option bill and Mr. Quay's
amendment to the appropriation for the Col
umbian Exposition, making it dependent
upon the closing of the Exposition on
Sunday.
On the first question Mr. Washburn occu
pied the attention .of the Senate for more
than two hoars with an elaborate argument
in favor of the bill, which he claimed to be
in the interest of the agriculturists of the
United States Decause the prices of their
products were unduly lowered, not by the
law of supply and demand, but by the opera
tions of "short" sellers in the Chicago
Board of Trade. He did not ask any action
on the bill itself, as it was not before the
Senate for action.
Mr. Washburn, in his speech, said the
anti-option bill was not directed 'against
ligitimate trade, bnt against that gisantio
modern invention known as "short selling"
of agricultural products of the country.
This was a system under which by misrep
resentation, tricks of trade and fraud, it
was possible to juggle with values and
practically eliminate from the commerce of
tbe country the operation of the law of
supply and demand, a system which robbed
the producer and filled the pocket of the
parasite.
rignres of a Fictitious Character.
At least 90 per cent of all the business of
the produce exohances and boards of trade
tin the United States was of a fictitious
character, where property was sold without
the ownership ana without any intention of
delivery on the part either of the seller or
tbe buyer. In Chicago, at least 35 per cent
was of that fictitious character, prices being
fixed without regard to the law of
supply and demand. The great agricultural
products of the country were made the foot
ball of gamblers wheat and cotton playint;
the same roll as chips on a faro table or as
peas of a thimble-rigger. Between the
grain-producer and the loaf-eater there
stepped in a party saying at what price the
one should sell and the other buy a
parasite that robbed them both. He made
the broad statement that the prices of
agricultural products of the country were
made artificially and arbitrarily on the
boards of trads, and most notably on the
Board of Trade in Chicago, and that, too,
without the lightest regard to the law of
supply and demand or any natural condition
whatever.
Prices Abroad Even Depressed.
Jlr. Washburn sent to the clerk's desk
and had read several paragraphs from the
Chicago newspapers describing Pardridge's
bear operations in grain on tbe Chicago
Board of Trade; also Associated Press dis
patches from Europe stating the depressing
effect on prices there, of those operations.
In view ot these facts it was not hard, he
said, to understand why farmers were sell
ing wheat at 70 cents a bushel instead of 90
cents. He gave the relative hguresot the
actual annual deliveries of wheat in Kew
York, Chicago and Minneapolis.
These figures, he said, showed that the
deliveries in Minneapolis were three times
as much as in Chicago, and SO per cent more
than in Chicago ana New York combined.
What an anomaly it was, he said, that Chi
cagothe third wheat market of the United
States, with an average annual delivery of
14,000,000 bushels should make the price
for from 400,000,000 to 600,000,000 bushels of
the United States, and for the wheat of the
whole world. The wheat received at Chi
cago was only a nest egg, and yet it was
made the basis of transactions aggregating
from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels a day.
An Unbearable System.
If Chicago made the price only for the
wheat which reached its own market, no
harm would be done, but when it depressed
the prices of the wheat product of Minne
sota and the two Dakotas (to the aggregate
of 30,000,000), the system become abso
lutely unbearable. He dismissed as illog
ical, absurd and devoid of common sense,
the objections made to the bill that it would
interfere with regular business. As to the
other argument against it, made in the
nature of a threat, that if the system of
gambling in futures were squelched in the
United States, operators would transfer
their business to Canada, Mr. Washburn
said, sarcastically, that many IJew York
businessmen had felt it healthyrfor a few
years past, to transfer their household goods
to Canada, and that the country bad stood
the shocks. There was no class of citizens
who could be better spared than the adven
turers who haunted the exchanges of Kew
York, and he would say to them, "Stand
not on the order of your going, but go at
once.
Backet Shops Denounced.
Mr. Washburn denonnoed the" bucket
shops, and said that the royal road to
wealth bad been through illegitimate spec
ulation, through market wrecking, bank
wrecking, railroad wrecking, and the whole
family of sneh. iniquities. Semocratio
Senators might talk of tarifi robbers, but
he could count on the fingers of one hand
those who had become immensely wealthy
from manufactures. It was not the tariff
barons or the business men who had so ab
sorbed wealth, but the creatures whom this
system of speculation and gamblin.tr had
evolved. He closed by answering objec
tions made to the bill on constitutional
grounds.
The Senate then resumed consideration of
the sundry civil bill the pending question
being on the committee's amendment as to
the Columbian Exposition, and Mr. Quay's
amendment to it, requiring the Exposition
to be closed on Sunday.
Some Portions Might Be Opened.
Mr. Manderson thought that some por
tions of the Exposition should be open on
Sunday. He saw no objection to the opening
of the grounds, so that people might gather
there. He saw no objection to tbe art
galleries being open, so that the people
might quietly go there and be instrncted, as
well as interested by gazing at the works of
the great masters. He would offer an
amendment (when it would be in order) to
have the mechanical portions of the Ex
position closed on Sunday.
Mr. Quay modified his amendment by
making it read: "The first day of tbe week,
commonly called Sunday."
Mr. Palmer argued against Mr. Quay's
amendment. He said that he had remarked
in private, and now said in public, that he
thought it would be a good thing to shut up
the whole people of Chicago in the Exposi
tion buildings on Sunday, so that they
might spend it more innocently than if they
were left at large. The laws of the State,
he added, were sufficiently stringent to
guard against any abuse, and be thought it
far better to leave the whole matter to the

States had entrusted everything conneoted
with the management of the great enter
prise. .
Mr. Test Offers an Amendment.
Mr. Vest ave notice of an amendment
which be would offer as a substitute for Mr.
Quay's amendment, as follows:
If the Commission determine to keep the
Expottion open on Sunday, there shall be
an entire cessation on that day of all labor
Dy the employes and attendants connected
with the Exposition, except such services
and attention as may be absolutely neces
sary for the management of the Exposition,
the preservation of order, and the safekeep
ing of articles In the Exposition. Nor shall
any machinery be operated, nor work of
any sort carried on, except as before stated
within the limits of the Exposition. It
shall also be the duty of the Commission to
provide n hall of sufficient size, with suita
ble furniture and arrangements for religious
services, and raid Commission sball Invite
the various religions denominations In the
United States to hold such exercises in said
hall on every Sunday during the time that
the Exposition will be open, the Invitations
to be issued Impartially and without dis
crimination, so that equal opportunity be
given to every sect and laith.
Mr. Cullom spoke in favor of delay on
tbe subject of closing the Exposition on
Sundays. He had just been informed by
the President of t World's Pair Commis
sion, ex-Senator 0olnier, of Michigan, that
the commission would meet in Chicago on
the 1st of October, and then the pros and
cons ot the question would be discussed
and the question would be determined.
Mr. Hawley argued inlavorof Mr. Quay's
amendment. Without action on the amend
ment, the Senate adjourned.
MOET0N MAKES MANY FEIENDS
Who Are Sorry the President Had Him
Turned Down go Cnoeremonlonaly.
Washington, July 1L Special As
the presiding officer of the Senate, Vice
President Morton is now more hesitating
and timid than he has been since the days
of his first experience in the chair. Tbe
Vice President's friends report him to be
much chagrined at the failure of the Bepub
lican National Convention to renominate
him, and in this connection a somewhat re
markable but well-authenticated story has
leaked out. Mr. Morton desired a renomi
nation in case the President were renomi
nated, and he was so confident that if any
part of the old ticket was renominated all
of it would be that he did not take the
trouble to see or write to any of his friends
who were present in the convention.
When President Harrison was nominated,
Mr. Morton had no other expectation than
his owu nomination would immediately
follow. When the nomination of Editor
Eeid was made known to him by means of
a telegraphic dispatch, he read tbe message
and immediately fell to the floor in a faint.
It was some minutes before he could be re
stored to consciousness, and several days be
fore he had completely recovered his com
posure. The Vice President is very popu
lar among men of all parties in the Senate,
and now that he has resumed his place in
the chair, Senators respect his nervousness
and timiditv, which are known to be the re
sult of humiliation which he feels at hav
ing been refused a renomination along with
the President, and treat him with courtesy
and consideration that are almost touching.
freight Brakeman Killed.
James McDonald, a freight brakeman on
the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, was in
stantly killed at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon at Glenwood. He fell between two
cars and was crushed to death by the
wheels. The b6dy was removed to Flan
nery's undertaking rooms. He was 3S
years of age, single and lived at Glenwood.
Beat BI Father and Brother.
Peter Sandiski was arrested on Brereton
avenue last evening by Officer Cole. San
diski went home intoxicated and beat his
lather, who was too feeble to resist His
brother interfered and was repaid with a
blow over the head with a chair that
rendered him unconscious.
Even Adults Cannot

Endure
Then What Must Our Little
dren Suffer?
Some Good Suggestions to Parents
About Proper Feeding.
"I felt as though I conld not live thronjth tbe re
cent hot spell," said a Pittsburg mother yester
day, "but when I saw how miserable the hot,
parched air made mj little children feel, I took
courage and tried to endnre It."
Hot weather is depressing to grown-ap people,
bnt It Is positively killing for little children. There
are dangers In tbe air and in the water; cholera
infantum and the various troubles which children
have, come down npon the little band like an army.
At first, parents notice a languor and peevlihness
on tbe part of the child. Instead of being full of
life and energy. It appears miserable. Instead of
being hungry most of the time. It does not care for
food, and even if it takes food, its stomach too
often rejects It. It Is a dangerous time for any child
when these things occur. It Is a time when the lit
tle one must be fed, must be nourished. It Is a
time when pure food, which Its little stomach will
receive and turn Into vitalltr, must be given.
Parents too often fall to realize this, and fall to
take proper care, until unfortunately It is too late.
There Is hut one scientifically prepared food for
children, and that Is lactated food. There are
more than one hundred thousand children In this
land to-day, who unquestionably owe their lives to
Its use. The Dispatch could be tilled with the
grateful words of fathers and mothers who realize
what it has done for their children.
The child of Edward L. Glfford, Esq., 309 Market
street. Ban Francisco, Cal., is one wnoss case has
attracted great attention on the Pacific coast, and
has been reportrd in some of the Eastern medical
Journals. Mr. Gilford says:
'When born, my baby weighed i)i pounds, and
was so poor that the skin hung on him In folds and
wrinkles. His trials were only begun, for the
nurse did not seem to think it worth while to save
such a poor little specimen of humanity, and ne
glected him. Ills mother's milk disagreed with
him. and he grew. If possible, thinner than wbeh
born. The physician advised ns to nse lactated
food. The baby began to Improve as soon as It
commenced nslng this food, aud fattened np re
rcma.rl.ably. Since then he has not had a sick day
or hour."
Papers throughout the country have printed
many letters this summer from physicians and pa
rents, urging the use of lactated food, while boards
of health In many sections have co-operated with
the manufacturers In its Introduction, for It saves
babies' lives.
