NOTABLE GATHERING AT CEREMONY HIGH FRENCH AND AMERICAN OF- FICIALS ANE MANY FOR- - i NEWS FROM THE CRIMEAN PEN INSULA OF AN EXTREMELY ALARMING NATURE. Wflfl?HEH BACKING THE MUTINEERS €UNS OF BATTLESHIP KNIAZ PO. TEMKINE TRAINED ON cITY EIGN DIPLOMATS. i OF THEODOSIA. Paris, July 7.—Tae ceremony of the delivery of the body OFAdmiral Paul Jones to the rep.esentatives of the Unjted States wag held at 3:30 p. m: in the Amerjcan ckuxnch on the Avenue de I'’Alma in the prosence of a dis- tinguished gathening of the highest official, military aud naval dignitaries of France, the diplomatic representa- tives of many countries and the spe- clal ambassadors and naval authori- ties_sent’ from the United States to receive the body. The church was ‘beautifully dec- orated with flowers. The casket rest- ed in front.of the chancel, with a silken American flag draped over it, while innumesable floral emblems ‘were banked about it. The front pews were occupied by Ambassador McCor- mick, Senior Special Ambassador Por- ter, Junior Special Ambassador Loo- mis, Rear Admiral Sigsbee and the commanding officers of the ships of the American squadron, Across the aisle sat Premier Rouvier and other cabinet ministers and practically the entire membership of the diplomatic corps. The formal ceremony consisted of the delivery of the body by General Porter, as the finder and custodian, to Mr. Loomis, representing the. United States, appointed to receive it, and Mr. ‘Loomis commissioning Admiral Sigsbee to transmit it to America. At the conclusion of the service a detachment of marines bore the casket to an artillery caisson in waiting at the doorway and the cortege proceed- ed through the Champs Elysees, over the Alexander bridge, to the Esplanade of the Invalides. The crowds wtich lined the route uncovered their hituds raspeatiully as the casket, covered with flags and flowers, passed. On reaching the Invalides the body ‘was placed on a high structure, where it was surrounded by French and American oficers, while the American and French naval and military forces flled slowly by, rendering military honors to the dead. Following the review the body was placed in a mortuary chapel at the railroad station, where French and American marines guarded it until the departure of the train for Cherbourg at 10 p. m. GIVEN ENTHUSIASTIC OVATION. American Bluejackets March Through Streets of Paris. Paris, July 7—The unusual sight of a detachment of United States sailors and marines swinging through the cen- tral thoroughfares of Paris aroused greal-interest and .brought out an en- thusiastic ovation from the crowds along the line of march. The Amer- ican naval contingent, which numbered 500 men with 25 officers, left Cher- bourg in two special trains at 3 a. m,, arriving at the Invalides railroad sta- ton at 11:40 a. m. A company of French infantry was drawn up. front- ing the station to receive the Amer- icans. The latter formed in battalion and unfurled the American flag and' naval ensign. At the same moment the [rench iroeps came to the salute, the French standard was dipped, the French band struck up the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the great| crowds which had surged across the Alexander bridge shouted “Vive les Americans,” “Vive la France,” the en- tire multitude uncovering respectfully while the American anthem was played. Another outburst of enthu- siasm greeted the “Marseillaise,” and then the French escort took up the line of march across the Esplanade of | the Invalides to the Avenue Piquet and thence to the military school. All| along the route the streets were lined | with dense crowds eager to see the! Americans. They were received at the military school by a battalion of French troops drawn up in the great Again the national anthems were played, and salutes were ex- changed. - The Americans were then taken within the military school, which will serve as the barracks dur- ing their stay here.

E Theodosia, it is added, has been de- 8t. Petersburg, July 7.—Such news s came from the Black sea and Cau- casus during the day waas extremely alarming, The whole Crimean penin. sula is on the verge of revolt and an- archy reigns in the mountains of the Cancasus from Batoum to Baku. Only brief details are available on account of the rigid censorship established by Admiral Chouknin, commander of the Black sea fleet. Even foreign embas- sies Laving consuls at Theodosia, Cri- mea, have not received any word. At Theodosia the workmen are backing the mutineers, the crews of several ships in the harbor have joined the mutineers and the well-to-do class of the population has fled in panic. The guns of the Kniaz Potemkine are trained on the city, presumably be-; cause the authorities could not or would not furnish the Kniaz Pote::- kine with coal, and a bombardment is momentarily expected. Only six hours away on the other side of the peninsula Admiral Chouk- nin’s fleet, which includes six war- ships, not counting Rear Admiral Kru- ger’s squadron, lies at anchor under the menace of the guns of the fortress. Chouknin evidently is afraid to test the loyalty of his crews by setting them the task of capturing the mu- tineers’ ship. According to reports current in St. Petersburg four torpedo boats with volunteer crews on board have sailed for Theodosia to sink the- Kniaz Po- temkine, but the reports lack confirma- tion and must be accepted with re- serve. Telegrams from the Caucasus, where a state bordering om anarchy has existed for a month, say the news of the mutiny on board the Kniaz Po- temkine made an electric impression and was the signal for a general move- ment, with which troops and police are absolutely powerless to cope. Rail- road traflic in all directions has ceased and the people are fleeing on horse- back and all kinds of vehicles over the mountain roads and trains. Almost consternation preyails in official circles here. RESIDENTS QUIT THE TOWN FEARED MUTINEERS WILL CARRY OUT THREAT TO BOMBARD CRIMEAN PORT. 'Theodosia, Crimea, July 7—The in- habitants are leaving the town in com- pliance with the orders of the authori- tics, who fear that the mutineers of the Kniaz Potemkine will carry out their threat to open fire on Theodosia. Ounly troops and officials remain here. PURSUIT ORDERED. Admiral Kruger's Fleet to Run Down Rebel Battleship. Odessa, July 7.—Upon the arrival here of Admiral Kruger's squadrom, consisting of the battleships Rostislay, Dyienadsat, Apostolof and Tri Sviati- telia, a cruiser and half a dozen tor- pedo boats, with the recaptured battle- ship Georgi Pobiedonosetz, were issued to run down the rebel ship Kniaz Potemkine. It seems certain that the mutineers will now be hunted down mercilessly. Naval officers de- clare that the Potemkine has compara- tively little ammunition, having ex- ipended a large quantity during the jmaneuvers. There is reason, however, for taking this statement with reserve. Meanwhile the freedom of the mu- tineers to roam the Black sea is para- ‘1yzing trade. FIRE ON MUTINEERS. “Troops Kill Several of the Crew of the Kniaz Potemkine. London, July 7.—A dispatch to Reu- ter’s Telegram company from Theodo- +ia says that at 9 a. m. a boat from the 1iniaz Potemkine was sent ashore and was met by an infantry fire, which killed two men and caused seven to jump overboard. The torpedo boat left the port, but continued to maneu- clared to be in a state of war. New Japanese Loan Agreed On.

Chicago, - July = 7.—Continuation the teamsters’ strike depends on success of an effort to obtain contribu- tons to the strike fund. The T\ 3 g sters’ Joint Council has appointed committee composed of 260 striking [ drivers empowered to stop every un- lon teamster at work in Chicago and ascertain if he has pald his weekly contribution of $1 to support the strik- ers. According to the decision of the. ] Joint council if the driver refused to. pay a part of his weekly wages the strike fund he would be com| to abandon his job and a nrlker v i be put In his place. 1 8ixty Thousand Minnesota School Chil- dren Defective. 8t. Paul, July 7—Fully 60,000 pupils of the Minnesota public schools are suffering (rom defective eyesight and not less shan 10,000 are afflicted with defective hearing. This is considered a conservative estimate, based on the record of the first year’s inspection of the eyes and ears of the school chil- dren which has been carried on by the state board of health, assisted by the state superintendent of public instruc- tion and the school authorities throughout the state. ‘What is still more significant the rarents of very few of these pupils 4re taking any apparent precautions against greater defects and possibly loss of evesight. Of 3,141 reported as having defective eyesight only 319, about 10 per cent, are wearing glasses. When it is considered that poor eye- sight and hearing frequently lead to more serious disease of various kinds the situation may be said to be serious. NUMBER OF COACHES BURNED. Score of People Injured in Great North- ern Wreck. ‘Williston, N. D., July 7.—The Great Northern {lyer was wrecked by spread- ing rails at Spring Brook,-about twelve miles east of Williston. A score of perscns were injured, several serl- ously.

The deposits wi Fort Worth, Tex., July 7.—The lat- est reports from Montague county, which was partially swept by a tor- nado, give the number of dead as thirty-ive. The tornado started four miles west of Nocona and moved in a southeasterly direction through- a f thickly settled farming community. The distance traversed was about fif- teen miles, The only town directly in the path of the storm was Montague. Among the buildings destroyed in Mon- tague was the Methodist, Catholic and Christian churches and the court- house, No one was killed or injured in Montague so far as known. Heavy rain and hail accompanied the storm. The list of injured is being largely augmented by later reports. The prop- erty loss fr estimated at more than $100,000. Fourteen Dead at Nocona. - Dallas, Tex., July 7.—Advices from Montague county, in the northern part of the state, indicate that the tornado which swept over. that section late Wednesday was very destructive, The larger towns apparently aped “the. violence of the storm, but country res- idences and farmhouses suffered se- verely. A dispatch from Nocona says four- teen persons were killed and many injured in that town and vicinity. A revised list of the dead follows: 1 Mrs. C. C. Shackleford, Miss Tinnie Shackleford, Mrs. S.
