An orchestra rendered selections during the waits. Quite a crowd of visitors from the city was there and enjoyed the show almost as much as the prisoners. No particular restraint was placed on the con- viots, and the good performauces were ap- planded and the poor ones hissed as freely in a theator, After fhe performance the men were turned loose in the yard for two hours, en- foying perfect frecdom, to converse' and move about, The warden furnished an abund- ance of cigars to all.

Cmioao, July 4.—It is fitting that the Fourth of July, the natal day of the na- tion's independence, should ~witness tho largest attendance of the season ab the World's Columbian exposition. Although the official returns are not in the officials do not hesitate to declare that today’s attend- ance will not fall short of 250,000, Every raiiroad running into Chicago gave a special Fourth of July rate today, and the closing of commercial houses in the city en- abled the working and business people of Chicago to swell the throngs until the ag- gregate became greater than that of any previous day's attendance. The weather Iwas alternately fair and threatemmng, and Jjust as the hour of 12 o’clock arrived a slight shower broke over the ussemblage and caused a hasty uprising of umbrellas, For- tunately, however, the rain was shight and of but few minutes’ duration, and the exer- cises of the day were favored at tho close by bright sunshine. Good taste was displayed by the exposition officials in_the brevity™ of the program, the entiro exercises of speech and song consuming but little over an hour. The stand was crocted on the east side of the terminal station and the space between this structure and the Administration build- ing was packed with humanity a half hour before the beginning of the ceremonies. The crowd was & #ood natured and jolly one and everybody there seemed bent upon an appro- priate observanco of tho Fourth, Every patriotic sentiment of the orators of the du) was cheered lustily and the enthusiasm of the assemblage was an inspiration to the speake; " Crowded with Visitors, At no time during the day was the weather oppressively warm and after the slight noonday shower the weather became cool and bracing. The greater number of the visitors arrived early in the forenoon, mostof the excursion trains from abroad entering the grounds by not later than 9 or 10 o'clock. As usual, most of the visitors had either heard of or been the victims of the rapacity of the World's fair restaurants, and a great number came fixed with capacious lunch b The commemorative exercises of the day began promptly at 11 a. m. Long before that hour the space for hundreds of feet sur- rounding the grand stand was thronged with spectators and_cvery prominent arrival was greeted with cheers. At 10 o'clock Mayor Harrison, the city offic nd the common council entered in car: od by the band of the Second regiment, Illinois Na- tional Guard. The exercises opened with music from the immense chorus mblod by Director Pratt. Nearly 2000 singers were marshaled around the stand, groups being stationed in the galleries of the ter- minal station. The front gallery of the Mines and Mining building and-m " the bal cony of Muachinery hall there were ‘four 1ds distributed at regular intervals about the plaza, When Mayor Harrison, the common coun- cil and the escorting citizens and exhibitors arrived at the grand stand, Director General George R. Davis, who presided over the ex- ercises, arose and called the nssemblage to order. ' As he did so Colonel W. H. Clatke of Milwaukee stepped forward and presented him a gavel mude from a piece of the famous Washington elm, at Cambridge, Mass. Vice Presldent Stevenson Introduced. At the conclusion of the prayer by Rev.{R. H. Burrows, Director General Davis intro- duced neral Adlai Stevenson, vice presi- dent of the United States, as the orator of the day. Great applause greeted Mr. Ste- venson when he stepped forward. Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago was the next speaker introduced. He was given & hearty greeting by the assemoled thous- ands. As he ended his speech the booming of cannon and the ringing of bells announced that it was high noon. Mrs. Mary Madge Morris stepped quickly across the ‘platform and touched the telegraph key and the clicking of the instrument announced to the cities and towns all over the country that it was noon in Chicago and that the original “Old Glory” was being hoisted, It carried the pews to Troy and the new Liberty bell sounded its first not While the instrument was yet clicking, Mrs, H. R. B. Staffor wed with the weight of three score years ‘and ten, with trembling hands, s d the halyards and pulled aloft the historic Paul Jones flag, The v throng stood silent with uncov- ered heads for a momet and then there came a mighty shout that drowned the noise of booming cannon and clanging bells, Of the New Liberty Bell, Hon. Hamptou L. Carson of Philadelphia was introduced when the applause following the raising of the original Old Glory” had ceased. After paying due attention to the celebration; to what it recalled from the pact; what v attested from tho present and foretold of the future, the speaker gave an exhaustive history of the old Liberty bell, particularly roferr- ing to the occasions on which it had been rung. In closing he said, in reference to the Columbian bell: *And thou great bell, cast from the chains of liberators and the copper pennies of the children of our public schools ; from sacred relics contributed by pious and patriotic hands; baptized by copious liba- tions poured out upon the altar of & common country by grateful hearts, and consc- crated by the prayers of the American people, take up the note of propheey and jubilee rung out by your old sister in 1776, and in your journey round theglobe, proclaim from mous top to valley, ncross winding river and expansive sea, those tones which shall make thrones topple, and despots tremble in their sleep until all' peoples aud all nationalities, from turbaned Turks and Slavic peasants to distant islanders aud the children of the sun shall join in the swelling chorus and the durkest regions of the earth shall be illumed by the heaven-born light of civil and religious liberty.” Pyrotechnio Display, At 3 o'clock this afternoon special exer- cises were held at the Dolaware building i houor of Columbian bell, cast at Troy, N. Y., and which rang today in_that city for the fiest time. Chairman MeDowell of the Columbian liborty bell committes called the meeting to order and brief speeches were wade uf him and Natlonal Commissioner Woodside of Pennsylvani: / The pyrotechuic display at nignt was con- ceded to be the grandest up to this date. A salute of fiftee h maroons fired from steel mortars and exploding at un altitude of 1,600 feet was the opening of the program and was followed by a magical illumination of the park with 250 prismatic lights, changing eolors five times, fired by elec- tricity. Among the most unique displays ana representations of the evening were the star spangled banner and a fire portrait of George Washington with the motto, “First o war; first 1n peace; first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Ringlog the Bel', Awmaxy, July 4.—Hundreds of people gathered today at the Clinton H. Menley Hell foundry, Troy, N.Y., to view the Colum- bian Liberty bell and to hear its first tones.

The Fourteenth street wig- wam was profusely decorated, and on the platform sat those who were to deliver the “long” and “short” talks.

Holahan, then read the Declaration of Independence. Speaker Crisp's Oration, Then came Speaker Crisp in the first of the long talks, He began with a burst of patriotism and said that although on this July 4 there were conditions which produced uneasiness, yet shere were still many things of which to boast. But_ they had not all they wanted. If there was uncasiness, un- certainty, stagnation of trade, it could be charged up to the republican party, The laws which brought about these conditions were republican laws, [enacted against the protests of democrats, but they should ba thankful that by the votes of the people last Novem- ber the democratic party had set up house- keeping at Washirgton on behalf of the nation. When congress assembled on August 7, as far as things could be remedied by leg- islation, he was confinent that laws would be enacted which would restore cenfldence and bring prosperity again to the nation. Congressman Benton McMillun of Tennes- seo came next. His speech bristled with vatriotic epigrams and references to Thomas Jefferson and was punctuated by tho explo- sion ot fireworks. The next speaker was Congressman Clark of Missouri. The speech was of the post prandial order, and excited lots of fun. loquent Mr: Fellows, Congressman John R. Fellows of New York followed. His was the nfost eloquent speech of the dfl\') brimful of glowing senti- ments and of smobth and easy diction. He dwelt upon the meaning of the celebration. He made no reference to current politics, but ended by saying that a mightier hand th any human hand had inspired the Declara- tion of Tndependence and guided the nationin its future destiny. The men of the continental congress were among the purest that ever existed.

At this time it is fitting_that we rejoico in the dauntless purpose and constant, devotion that have thus far marked out the way of our great nation. We should lose the most m- portant, lesson of the day we colebrate if we orget. that the Iabor and dilizence of those in- trusted with self government wmust be uure- mitting and always patriotic, There has never been time when our countrymen should be more soberly re- minded that they cannot safely del- egate their dufies and obligations of citizenship mor neglect to cultivate their individual and personal interests in pub- lic affalrs.

Cable—Special to Ty yet increasing in gravity the disorders in the Latin quarter are assuming an ugly aspect. Not more than 10 per cent of the manifest- ants are students, while the rest of the rioters are composed of Paris rowdies, strik- ing cabmen and unemployed workmen. Consequently the struggle between the rioters and the police is assuming a savage character. The police strike with encrgy and the manifestants strike back with violence. One policeman was tied hand and foot and almost killed before he was rescued. The omnibuses were stopped and unhar- nessed at 0 o'elock in the Place St. German Depres, where a violent strugglo took plac and the police were forced to charge in order to disperse the mob. The evening has been an excited one throughout the entire Latin quarter, which is now completely occupied by the police. The circulation of all vehicles has been stopped and all the shops are closed. Along the boulevards and inall parts of the city lying on the right bank of the Seine there is no sign of any disorder, Regular Pitched Battle. After 6 o'clock last evening the struggle between the police and the rioters assumed 4 more serious character and a regular pitched battle was fought on the Boulevard St. German. The paper kiosques and the chalets do necessite were smashed or overturned. Thirty omnibuses and tram- way cars were stopped and upset. At eves point paving stones and plaster were thrown at the policemen, who defended themselves with drawn sabers. Many persons oa both sides were wounded. After an interlude the battle began again at 10 o'clock with greater fierceness than ever. The mob got the best of the police, whereupon the mounted municipal guard charged, but without succeeding in dispers- ing the crowd until the Cuirassiers and a regiment of the line arvived upon the scene. Iv was, however, unneccessary for these troops to take ctive part in the struggle. At present all is quiet on the left bank of the river, but that part of the city has the appearance of a town taken by assault, as all the thoroughfares are guarded by troops.
