HasTixos, July 23, —[Special Telegram to h delegation of the unem- ployed men of Denver and Colorado which passes through Hastings on the wild scram- ble for the east, confirms the story of finan- cial distress in the part of the couatry from which they are fleeing. This afternoon seventy-five camo through in two delega- tions, and followed the example of their predecessors in firat taking a deop draught of cold water, then using plenty of soap and water, pocket combs and wirrors and falling In line to receive the rations of bread, buttor and bologna dealt out by the city council.

The greater part of theso will come through Hastings in a few days: In Denver aud Leadville tho situation of the laboring men must be appalling, bread wagons boing sacked in the street_without remonstrance on the part of the police, Tt 18 said that Alvia Wells of Juniata, six miles west of hero, whilo returning home yesterday from Hastings was stopped near the asylum by two men, who demanded what mo; . He bad none and then the men informea Lim that they had had nothing to eat for two or three days and asked him to turn over his watch which they thought they could pawn. Wells refused and went on. The amateur highwaymen woro probably & couple of men from the west who were driven to desperation by hunger and who had not heard of the generosity of the Hastings officials. Tho great majority of the tourists are simply what they profess to be, men suddenly thrown out of work and who sre profounaly grateful for any assist- ance given them in their search for em- ploymout.

OXDON, July 23, —The procoedings in the Victoria court martial, although no new facts of prime importance have transpired, are followed with intonse public interest. No light has been thrown upon the real mys- tory of the disaster, which was concealed in Admiral Tryou's brain. It is becoming evi dent. however, that sole responsibility wil] not be placed upon the dead commander. Questions put by the court indicate that Japtain - Bourke especially, and Admiral Markham in a lesser degree, will be held to have fallen short of their full duty in the emergency. The dangor is, however, that the d uty of disobedience, which most people consider the disaster toaches, may becomo a greater peril than that which Tryon's sub- ordinates falled to moet. The point wus tosted Thursday by Admiral Seymour, who was commanding A squadron which engaged in maneuvers. ‘I'he_channel floet was pro- ceeding in doublo columns in the same order as just bofore the disaster off Tripolii when the flagship suddenly hoisted Admiral Tryou's fatal signal: *Columns turn sixteen points inward.” No responso was made for some moments, and then, almost at the same instant, every ship in the fleot_responded: “Don’t' under- stand signal.” The meaning, of course, was: oo undorstand perfectly, bitt wo rotuse to obey.” ‘The signal of the flagship was immedi- atoly changed. Every English newspaper, in roforring to the incident, stupidly assumes that the sig- nal was given by mistake, and solemn com- ments are made upon the escape from dan- ger involved. Whon it is considered that the signal docs not become an_order until every ship has repoated it and it has beon hauled down on the fiagship, the object of Admiral Seymour’s test becomes apparent. Trying_the discretion of commanders by impossible orders is not likely to be exten- sively practiced in the navy. Fourteen Colliston®in Five Days. The maneuver of the chaunel squadron under Rear Admiral Edwards Seymour _are watched with unusual interest by the public, and the tax growling “on account of the numerous accidents that have alreddy occurred. In five days there have been four- teen collisions. Many engines have been led and various less considerable dam- age has been done, The English press is rovelling 1n desultory discussions of the Victoria court martial at Malta. In ordinary trials the fear of pun- ishment fov contempt of court in discussing cases under judicial advisement keeps the editors discreotly silent. No such punish- ment threatens in connection with court martial proceedings, aud therefore the cader writers are sighing over the folly of Admiral Tryon and the mistakes which thoy attribute to his subordinates. _Admiral Horuby has variod this sort of stuff by writ- ing a manly letter to the Uni Magazine in defense ot Tryon. cillation was the last weakness of which ryon could bo mccused. 1 belioye there was room to avold the ce iston {f tho slgnal and general instructions had been obeyed. ‘There se s 1o have been an absence of the spirit of mut nee which used w churacterize the Mediterranean squadron. Admiral Horuby adds in another para- graph of his letter: If, as admiral, T I the misfortune to make such a mistako Lur dont that with hardly an_exception cacli cap have kept clearof the lagship, aithou aptains, with good Comrade Tryon at thelr head, would have shaved o flagship in order to take a rise out of the Why this was not done on the presen! fon s a mystery. Admiral Tryon's great object was that the whole floot should moye in any direction as fast as the flugship. Thero was no difficulty In this when the offfcors ncted in the spirit of comradbship and decision. The disaster might have been avolded If the officers of tho flect had shown more confidence and decision.

Wants to Raise the Victoria. Roxe, July 23.—Sig. Balsamello, the in- ventor 'of the palla nautica, or submarine ball, by means of which ho 'is confident_of being able to raise hor majesty’s ship Vie- toria, sunk in seventy fathoms of water off “Trivoli, says he has entered into negotia- tions with the British government for tho purpose of accomplishing this object. Those to whon he has explained his plan speal fayorably of it. The inventor, at any rate, is anxious to have the experi- ment tested o8 soon as may = bo, “Tho palla nautica is an enormous, perfoctly round ball. On account of its symmetrical shape the pressuro on_its surface at great depths below the surface of the sca is 5o equally distributed that little or no impres- sion is produced upon the submarine bull. 1t thus overcomes tho greatest difficulties in the way of submarine navigation. The palla is provided with a steering apparatus and a propeller, and its course boneath the water can be ‘directed at will. A complicated system of pumps allows it to be sunk to any dopth where it is intended -to operate, and, Dy a simple pieco of mechanism it can be raised to tho surface without delay. Although Sig. Balsamello will not allow the details of his invention to be given to the public, it is evident that all the chains and grapnels necessary to raise the Victoria can be easily attached to it, as he has demonstratod in a series of. experi- meuts before a government commission at the port of Civita Vecchia, when he was ablo to navigate with perfect euse at a depth of 1,200 feet bolow tho surface, a depth much greater than that at which the Victoria hes. Sig. Balsamello is desirous of testinghis invention in an effort to raiso the Victoria, and hopes that the English government will take his proposal into consideration, CHOLERA IN MECCA, Kavages of the Soourge Among the Pil. Krims More Terrible than Kver, LoxvoN, July 23, —The details of the rav- ages of cholera in Mecca are even more tor- riole than the stories from Russia last year. Dr. Chaffy, the Egyptian delegate to the sanitary council in Alexandria, reports the number of deaths to be more than twice the ofticial figures. There were 135,000 pilgrims in Mecca when the cholera broke out and at least 10 per cens died, besides a largo proportion of the native population of 60,000. He adds thut at Mouna it has been impossible to bury tne dead who were piled up. In different places in the neighborhood of Syrian Mahmal were also found a number or bodies unburied. Returning from Mouna to Mecea she route was strewn with corpses. In the interior of Mecea bodies were lyng in a state of putrefaction. When it was decided to carry them to the cemetery they were left thero three days unburied, owing to the absence of a sufticient number of grave diggers. There ure 5,000 pilgrims now due at the quarantine establishment of Kl-tor, where the oarliest arrivals have already brought cholera. As many as 50,000 in all are ex- pected, but as El-tor provides accommoda- tion, provisions and water ouly for 11,000 at o time, the quarantine board Las refused permission to lund any pilgrims in_excess of this number. These must, therefore, remain aboard, as they can neither land on Egypt- fan territory nor pass through the Suez canal before performing filteen days quaran- tine at KEl-tor. The government provides food for the poorest pilgrims, and is doing its utmost to protect Kurope from cholera. Frod Poterson and Goeorge Baily ave in Jail booked as suspicious characters. It is aliezed that these fellows found a half drunken man in the “district” who had considerable woney. ‘They confided in an ivmate of one of the houses in that ond of the town and wanted her to not only act as their stool pigeon, but to give them & drug with which to dose their intended victi.

Time of game: 2 hours Third Batoh of Colorado Miners Arrive in Box Cnra, Colorado's output of unfortunate workmen still continues to flow eastward, Last night, shortly before 11 o'clock, a freight train came in over the Union Pacific, and aboard of it were 100 of the men who have been driven out of the silver state by the prevailing industrial depression, Most of them aro_ miners, al- thouch many trades are reprosented, Nearly all of them have come from Colorado by the box car route, and two of the cars of 1ast night's train were lnden with rofugees, while the cars in the forward end of th train carried sovoral score on their upper decks. There were about sixty more of them, but the latter got off at places be- tween here and Grand Island When the train reached Omaha last night about thirty mea left it and came up town, the rest remaining abo: and going over to Council Bluffs, from whence many of them oxpect Lo scatier into various paris of this and other northwestern states. Quite a number, however, will stay with the train 10 R0 to points further east, but nearly all are “fighting shy” of Chicago and the World's fair, Those who stopped in Omaha are not likely to stay Jong unless they find work. ‘They simply stop off here on the bare chance of getting something to do, So far as the character of the refugees is concerned there is no manner of doubt on the part of any one who seesand talks with them that they are far from being the kina of men who would imposs on any one. Iv is not true, according 10 most of those who were interviewed, that a majority of them are married. “The fact s, said Richard Knight, an Aspen mioner, “that we sioule fellows are gecting out to give the boys who have families a chance to take care of them. There is nothing for anyboay to do. but it wouldu't be right for us to stay and live on the community to the detriment of the family men.” Not a mad of all the 100 was shedding any tears or “babying” auy. They accept the condition of affairs and set their teeth at the same time, asking nothing but aid to find work. Not one of them is hungry now, they having been fed all the way from Grand Island. Nearly every man is hopeful, and expects to find something to do shortly, s most of them are getting back among’ friends, and tholeast that can be said for them is' that they are mostly men who will not run away from work. bl Fennoyer Girows Condescendin PokTLAND, Ore., July 23.—A delegation left this evening over the Southern Pacific to meet Vice President Stevenson at the state line in behalf of Governor Pennoyer.

T\, July 23.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug BEr.)—For the past week the temperaturc in Utub has romaived near the hot woather rocord, and crops were hurning up. Today & beaatiful rain, genarat through out the ereat Salt Lake and Utah valleys, vroved the saivation of agricultural Utah SHARK IN SHALLOW WATER 0ot Sen Tiger Mroneght to Shore After m Lively Fight. Sharks seem to be becoming plentiful in San Francisco bay, and while the people who know sharks say that not more than two or three of the man-eat- ing varioty have been seen in that vicinity for forty years, oven the com- mon sharks are big enough and ugly enough to make a man think unpleasant things, if he is in the habit of swimming in the bay. Fishing partios whodrop lines o the rock cod and King fish over abwt Sau- salito every once in a while feel stouter tug at the line than they 1| gain for, says the San Francisco Exam- iner, and have all tho thrill of seeing big-mouthed, = sharp-toothed shark the end of their lines, Will Burgess, an Alamenda man, had an adventure with a sh other afternoon that was sorions. Bur- gess and a young companion named Thompson noticed a big fish flounder in the shallow water at the foot of Wil low streot. 1t had ovidently como in with the tide and had been left almost stranded when the water receded. When the young mon saw it tho fish was trying to plow its way out to deeper water. Of course Burgess had to investigato Ho kicked off his shoes and stockings and, armed with a boathook, rashed out to where the water was being dashed into foam. Tho fish was a shark six feet long. (Its head was in the sand pushing out a channel through which it might oscape. Burgess hurried, afeaid that he would not get there in time, He neod not have been alarmed on that score, however, for the shark did not hurry on his account. Indeed as soon as he’ got, pretty close the shark faced around and made for him. Fortunately it was handicappod by the shallownoss of the water. The young man simply jumped ide as it floundered toward him and t it with the boathook. He had somo idea of spearing the big fish with the boathook and holding on, but ho had t) change his tactics. The shark did not propose t-be harpooned without a fight. Uv to this time Burgess had thought it was a harmless thing that simply fought because it could not get aw: but when the shark made a try at tuen- ing on its back to give its mouth a better chancoe he realized that it had the fight- ing habits that man eaters are credited with, and he knew he had a fight on his hands. There was not enough water for the shark to turn, so he lay on his side and snapped that way, while Burgess beat on his ugly head with a boathook and skipped out of the w of the jaws. The shark was wild by th time, and the two raised so much foam that the erowd that soon gathered on the beach could not seo Just what was happening There was wild excitement, but the people on the bank did not lose their presence of mind enough to go to the young man’s assistance. Burgess found that in its frenzy the fish could get around pretty lively, even in six inches of water, and his position began to got inte: ng. He did not dare to turn his back t0 get away for fear the mad fish would overt him and grab a leg. The shark by this time had forgotten ail about trying to escape, and was willing to fight it out right there. Burgess at last succeeded in stunning the stranded sea tiger. Ho had had too hard a fight to leave his game there, so he hooked on with the boathook and dragged the ugly thing ashore. Then everybody cheered him and helped haul the shark up on the beach, where it was soon finished. Burgess dropped on the sand exhausted from his struggle. The shark was six feet long and as big as a man, There was another shark adventure on the bay next day. Fred Johnson, a 16- year-old lad vesiding on Filbert street caught a 5-foot shark while fishing from the end of Powell street wharf. While trying to get the hook out of the shark’s mouth the fish closed its jaws and made the boy howl. The shark’s mouth was pried open with a piece of wood and Fred counted no less than eleven wounds on his hand, caused by the shar teeth. The boy sold his prize to a Chinaman for $1, and the t of the sea was probably served up in some cheap restaurant as tenderloin of sole. e A soke on F In the days before Billy Florence and Larry Jerome had becomo vietims of the groat practical joker, Death, John W. Mackay gave a dinner at the Hoflr house, New York, to Jerome, Florence, Bob Ingersoll, Roscoe Conkling and Tom Ochiltree. The dinner lingered late. About 11 o'clock Florence began to fidgot in his chair. He knew that his wife was waiting for him over at the Brunswick, and that keeping late hours and peaco in the family was not possible und his domes arrangemonts. He hinted at k the no; you can't go yet,” said Jerome, his mind ever alert fora chanco o play pranks with his friends. V11 you go now Mackay'll think you don't like his dinner. You'll offend him,” So Florence sat. Each offort to break away was met by the same objurgation from Jerome. ‘The actor grew more un- easy as tho hours drew on, but he didn't duro offend the host. At 2 o'clock Jerome mado some excuse and slipped away for a moment, Going to the office he wrote a note'and sent it by a messenger boy, The note read: Dear Mrs. Florence—Where's Billy? have been expecting him at dinner all night but he haso't come, Has anything happened to him? Yours. LAWRENCE JEROME, In a few momonts the jolly gourmots rose from the table and Florence wan- dered home. He was met by an indig- nant wife, “Where have you been?” she askod sharply. *Oh, I've just been over to the Hoft- man dining with Mackay, Jerome and some of tho—-" “Oh, you treacherous villain. Read that note. The ink on it isu’t dry yet.” | The angry woman held Jeromd's note up to the dumbtounded actor's eyos. The next day Florence took Mackay, Jerome and the rest around to the Brunswick to *square” him with his wife. But she mer looked on the pleaders with pitying scorn and said: HOh, yes. 1 know you'll all lie to held each other. Druggists’ Colored Globes. “There has always boen a great deal of discussion among drugeists as 10 the origin of the fanoy show globes that you always sce in the windows of drug | stores,” said R. D, Brant to a Pittsbury | Dispateh man. “While many theories have been advanced, I think it is most likely an evolution of the old earthen | jars that the herb collectors used to use before pharmacies were in vogue. In olden time the doctors compounded their own medicines, gotting crude ma- terials from a dealer in herbs and such things. The pharmacy of that time cons sisted of u small room with a number of | earthen jars decorated with scenes re- lating to different events in the ex- perience of a doctor, and in these the various herbs were kept. They were dingy, ugly looking places, and no one but doctors frequented them. About 200 years ago, when the physiciaus found oung | or them, the pharmacy system was os- tablishod and the stores had to be mado more attractive, and tho glass globes with the bright colored lignid were” ovolved from the old earthen jars," Temperature of the Upper Atr, Exporiments have beon mado in France by H.
