He WIill Remain With His Party to Labor for Sliver In Its Counclis. CHICAGO, Irn, June 21. — Senator Shoup of Idaho will not join al orphans of the siver States who followed Senator Teller out of the St. Louis Convention. The senior Senator from ldaho is in the city and states em- phatically that he believes it is more to the erests of his constituency for him ain in the Republican party and wder the old standard than to seek m & demoralized Democracy or a aisorganized minority. “While I do not w to criticize my colleague, Senator Dubois,” said the vet- eran Rocky Mountain statesman, “I think he possibly erred in seeking relief in a bolt from the St. Louis Convention. In doing so he exercised his own privilege. In refusing to concur in that plan of remedy I exercise mine. “It remains for the people of Idaho to decide which is the panacea for the ilis of the silver question. I am loyal at all times to the free and unlimited coinage of the white metal at a ratio of 16 to 1, and will always work for the interests of my constituency, but I believe the best plan for the people to pursue is to elect free- er men to Congrees from tie old-estab- lished parties, until a working majority insures the passage of a free-coinage bill with sofficient votes to pass it over a Presidential veto if necessary. As a Re- publican Senator I would have more infiu- ence with a Republican Senate than one who had read himself out of the party. “It remains to be seen whether the silver men can control the next Congress, and, if so, whether the next President would veto a free-coinage bull. “I do not wish to criticize Senator Teller for his action. I have known him for years, and known him to be a man who has a greatdepth of sincerity. His State is behind him unanimously. If the peo- ple of Idaho decide that I am wrong in expecting future relief by sticking to the old party then I will resign as National Committeeman and abide by their wishes.” OUTLOOK IN WYOMING. Senator Warren Predicts a Victory for McKinley and Hobart in November. CHICAGO, IrL., June 21.—Senator Fran- cis E. Warren of Cheyenne, Wyo., is at the Auditorium, baving just arrived from Bt. Louis. Regarding the situation in Wyoming he said: “Wyoming is a Republican State, and in my judgment we will carry it this fall for the Republican National ticket, al- though the eontest will be fiercely fought, especially in case Henry M. Teller is in- dorsed by the Chicago convention. The fight will be harder and the margin smaller than if there had been a more lib- eral construction of bimetallism and a less harsh sentiment on the part of those who believed in gold monometallism at the Bt. Louis convention. “The people of my State believe that the Republican party Las always been a party of bimetallism, and that notwithstanding the extreme view of the giestion now taken by the Eastern element of the party it will yet be forced to leave the field of monometallism. The Republican wave toward English principles of finance will soon recede, just as the Democratic wave toward free trade has receded.” Senator Warren is personally strongly in favor of the election of McKinley and Hobart, and will do his utmost to carry his State for the ticket. LiiEeraa s PERRY BELMONT’S VIEWS. He Says Much Depends Upon Future Interpretation of the Platform. PARIS, Fraxcg, June 21.—1In the course of an interview to-day with a reporter of the United Press, Hon. Perry Belmont made the following remarks about the gold plank adopted by the St. Louis Re- publican Convention: “Tf the Republican platform adopted at St. Louis shall be interpreted by Mr. Mc- Kinley and the Republican party as a mandate to obey the coinage law of 1873 and coin no more silver dollars until in- ternational free bimetallic coinn_ge on a fixed ratio may come, and if it is intended to resolutely enforce the mandate _by diplomacy and legislation and accomplis international bimetallism, the work done will be beneficial; but the contrary will hapuen if the platiorm shall be interpreted as permitting or encouraging the renew 1 of treasury silver-purchasing and the coin- age on Government account of more 50- cent silver dollars on the theory of the re- pudiated Sherman law of 1890. cen a country so rich in natural re- sources as ours, so removed from European war disturbances, so powerful 1n industry and the vigor of its seventy millions of people, cannot safely endure such con- tinual strain. #But the Republican Convention ad- journed without even suggesting an ade- quate remedy. To proclaim the main- tenance of the gold standard, to demand a McKinley tariff, is no remedy, especially when no methods are specified whereby the needed gold can be secured in some other way than by renewed bond selling. The plea of the Sherman law of 1890 was also the maintenance of the gold standard. Nevertheless, and despite Republican eva- sion, you may depend upon it that, cost what 1t may, the people of our country will insist that all antecedent indebted- ness—National, State and municipal— shall be paid if demanded in the gold dol- iars specified or implied in the contracts. No railway or other corporation will by any law be released from sucnh obligation.” S e NO CAUSE FOR THE BOLT. Foraker Says the St. Louls Conven=- tion but Relterated Old-Time Principles. CINCINNATI, O=m1o0, June 21.—The Mec- nley and Hobart ratification meeting at Music Hall last night was under the aus- pices of the Stamiina Club. In speaking of the platform adopted at St. Louis, Sen- ator Foraker had this to say in regard to the financial plank: it has constantly and repeatedly been de- clared by both perties that bimetallism was desirable in preference to gold or silver mono- metallism. Both of the parties have sgreed that we could maintain the parity of the two metals and bring sbout bimetallism again by an international sgreement. Some peopie heve insisted in the meanwhile that if wecould not do it that way we couid do it alone with- out regard to what other nations might sce fit to do. The Republican party has con- stantiy, consistently and persistently stood up sgainst that idea. Four years ego, when we held the conven- tion at Minneapolis, it was my fortune to be the chairman of the committee on reso- lutions, as I was at thé St. Louis convention, and it was my fortune to be associated on that committee with Senator Teller. He and his associates from the silver States came to that convention and came before that committee esking us to insert a plank pledging the Re- publican party to the free coinage of silver. We refusea to do it. We declared that we were in favor of international bimetallism, but that until that was brought about it wounld be our policy to maintain silver at a parity with gold by issuing no more of it than could be maintained at a parity with gold. They accepted the result and remained in the Repubhican party. They did not feel called upon togooutof the party then; their con- sciences did not seem to trouble them so much then as now. When the last session of Con- gress commenced, as a result of the Demo- cratic free-trade experiment, the Government was found to have deficient revenues—mnot enough revenues to meet its current expenses. A bill was prepared in the House and passed that body without partisan division, almost, providing for an increase of revenue. That bill was known as the Dingley bill. It went to the Senate. The National credit, the Na- tional honor, the National life was at stake. These gentlemen said the bill wis unobjec- tionable, but they refused to vote for it (that is, six of these gentlemen from silver States d1d) unless the great mejority of those who did not agree with them wouid sacrifice their convictions and vote for the free, unlimited and unrestricted coinage of silver. The great mejority in the Senate would not he coerced by that minority. That action upon the part of these people directed the attention to that subject as it had not been directed before, and therefore when we met at St. Louis conditions were Tipe, not for a different stand to be taken by the Repub- licans, but for more explicit declarations of our principles than we had heretofore made, and inasmuch as they had thrown down the wage of battle by demanding free silver and seeking to coerce us to accept, we concluded it was & good time to meet them half way, join issues and let the battle come. To conclude with ord, the point I was seeking to make was this: That when Senator Teller and his associates bolted the party at the St. Louis convention they had no cause for it whatever that did not exist four years before at the Minneapolis convention, and when the Republican party made the declaration it did make at St. Louis it did not change its position one particle, but simply made it absolutely certain in order that there could be a settle- ment of that question—that the free aud inde- pendent and unlimited coinage of silver is a proposition that we will not entertain. We will not entertein it because in our judgment it does not, as Senator Teller and his associates claim, mean bimetallism, but simply silvgr mopometallism. WTRES PLEN 0 HS PRy Continued from First Page. Governor Flower returned .from Albany yesterday and will epend the summer in Watertown. He believes that a united Democracy can bring about the adoption of a sound money plank at Chicago and the election of a Democratic President. He will go to the National convention as 2 delegate at larze. Hesaid last night: “If the Democratic press of the city of New York desires the election of a Demo- cratic President it would be a matter easily accomplished. 7They reach the Democrats of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. If they would pledge them- sclves to exert their influence to- ward the carrying of these three States on a platform that would provide for maintaining the present standard of money and all the different kinds of issues of it, ordered by the Government, at par with gold, so that the delegation from New York could go to Chicago pledging the convention that we would carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, I be- lieve that the South and the West, or enough electoral votes from them, could be obtained to elect a Democratic President. “But if we go to the National convention without some definite pledges to them they may not listen td us. I believe that the defeat of the Republican party 1s pos- sible. What we want is honest intentions, and as soon as we can satisfy the European powers of our soundness on the currency, confidence wiil be resiored and the vast wealth of Europe will seek the United States for investment L Jerry Simpson Indorsed. WICHITA, Kaxns., June 21.—The Popu- lists of Srdgwick County in convention vesterday indorsed Jerry Simpson for Con- gr ssand L. D. Lewelling for Governor. They also eulogized Benator Teller and his colleagues for bolting the St. Louis con- vention. Chinese Emperor’s Mother Dead. PEKIN, Crixa, June 2L.—The mother of the ¥mperor of China died on Friday. QUARREL OF THE GERMAN PRINCES Kaiser William Adds Fuel to the Fires of Their Wrath, RENEWS THE TUPROAR. Honors Bestowed Upon Him Who Styled the Bavarians Vassals. THEY RESENT EIS ACTION. South G:rmany in Arms Against the Arrogance of the Prussian Regime, BERLIN, GerMaxy, June 21.—The ex- citement which prevailed throughont the South German States over the iucident at the banquet at the Deutsche Verein in Moscow upon the occasion of the Czar's coronation, when the president of the banquet alluded to the German Princes as members of the suite of Prince Henry of Prussia, was subsiding rapidly, but it has now received a fresh impulse by the bestowal of the Order of the Red Eagle by the Emperor upon the chairman whose words evoked a violent vrotest from claring that the Princes alluded to were neither members of Prince Henry's suite nor vassals of the German Empire. The Bayarian press, in commenting upon the act of the Emperor in decorating the president of the banquet, interpret it as a new act of provocation on the part of Prussia,although it is a clearly customary action toward an official receiving a rep- resentative of the Kaiser, in which capacity Prince Henry went to Moscow. Prince Luitpold, Regent ot Bavaria, has sought to hush up the the uproar caused by the words of the president of the ban- quet, and the resentful speech of his son and the heir to the Bavarian throne, Prince Ludwig, but popular feeling has been too strong, as was shown in the en- thusiastic demonstration at the closing of the session of the Bavarian Landtag in Munich, when Prince von Walther thanked the royal house for watching and jealously preserving the independence of Bavaria and herguaranteed treaties. This expression was received with cheers, which were prolonged many minutes. In addi- tion to this, the patriotic associations in all parts of South Germany are sending congratulatory messages and addresses to Prince Ludwig in great profusion. The Catholic purty is especially taking the lead in the resurgence of the particu- larist agitation, and the Catholic press is vehement 1n its denunciation of the per- eistent attempts to force the Prussian regime upon the independent States of Germany. The Berlin Government, in the meantime, is viewing the agitation in the South German States very quietly, and the Berlin newspapers treat the matter lightly, as though the particularist senti- ment in the south of Germany were a quantity not worth serious consideration. The National Gazette characterizes the excitement as puerile, but however lightly the Government and press may view the agitation it cannot be dismissed in that fashion. The fact is that the present out- burst is due to a feeling which has long been in the air of South Germany, where the people and the princes alike have silently resented the autocratic acts and speeches of the Kaiser. Legislative proposals like the wine tax which hits all Germany hard without touching Prus- sia, the vexations treatment of the South German lines by the Prussian railways, and the dealings between the pos- tal authorities of Prussia and the South German States have combined to keep particularism alive. The present ag- itation, which is giving free vent to long restrained sentiments, is likely to do good to the whole country, and after all it isa family squabble which does notin any way affect the unity of the empire. In the meantime Prince Ludwig, whose violent words at the banquet were the sig- nal for the popular outburst of feelings, has found it prudent, or at least conveni- ent, to go to his hunting seat in Hungary, to remain until the excitemert is ailayed. Tt is said by those who are in a position to know that his departure for Hungary was taken with a view of avoiding the rousing ovations which the people of Munich and other places were preparing to give him. The passage of the Government’s bourse bill, pr8hibiting futures and certain other trangactions on the German bourses, has already resulted in eight Berlin bankers dealing in stocks opening branch estab- lishments in Copt Hall in London and also in Brussels and Antwerp, with a view of continuing their dealings in time trans- actions, which are forbidden here. The statement made by the Rhenish West- phalian Gazette, that the German Govern- ment, acting upon a motion made in the Reichstag by Count von Kanitz, had made overtures to France with a view of having that Government join Germany in the suppression of time dealings in grain, is believed to be baseless. Just now it would be impossible for France to entertain such a proposal. The nomination of Mr. McKinley for the Presidency of the United States by the Republican convention is hailed here with satisfaction, so far as the security of a gold currency is concerned, but there are fears that his election would mean the enact- ment of a prohibitive tariff by the Ameri- can Congress. Several Berlin exporters who have recently visited the United States for the purpose of studying the situa- tion, with a view of devising means to give impetus to German trade, have returned here with the conviction that no improve- ment can be expected within a measurable time. However, it is only German drugs, colors and chemicals that are stationary. Kid gloves and paper goods find a ready market in the United States. Herr Lutgenen, who was recently elected to the Reichstag by the Socialists of Dort- mund, has become involved in a libel suit between the Dortmund Anzeiger and the Arbeiter-Zeitung, a Socialist newspaper. The Anzeiger published an article alleging that Lutgenen had been alonein a private room of a restaurant owned by a man named Osthues, a Socialist friend of Lut- genen, with Frau Osthues, and that they were playing chess for kisses. The An- zeiger asserted that the servants in the restaurant bored holes in the door of the _| private room, through which they observed Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, who resented | the president’s words by indignantly de- | the alleged game of kisses, The Arbeiter- Zeitung tock up the cudgels in behalf of Lutgenen and called the editor of the Anzeiger all sorts of names, whereupon the latter brought an action for libel against the Arbeiter-Zeitung, which re- sulted in a juagment against the Socialist paper, which was fined 50 marks. A further result of the trial is that Lutgenen has been comvromised, and whatever useful- ness he may have possessed as a representa- tive legislator has been greatly impaired. The Vorwaerts, the leading Socialist paper, asserts that a number of Silesian landowners are antering into a combina- tion with the object of obtaining coolies from China to replace the native German laborers and the Russians and Poles now employed in farm and field work. Ac- cording to the Vorwaerts, a Berlin agent has arranged to supply the required num- ber of coolies at a mark (about 25 cents) a day per head, all expenses included. Herr Rosenthal, the pianist, will begin a professional tour of the United States on November 10. According to the Madgeburg Zeitung, the powers have addressed a collective note to Turkey advising an immediate meeting of the Cretan Assembly, the re- vival of the Halepa treaty and a promise of continued autonomy of Crete under a system similar to that of Saroa. At a socialist mass-meeting held here last evening Ottillie Beider, Herr Fischer, member of the Reichstag for Berlin, Herr Bergmann, a hatmaker, and Herr Erbe, a bricklayer, were chosen as delegates to the coming international labor congress in London. DEATH IN THE WATER. Three Young Persons Drowned by the Capsizing of a Skiff. ZANESVILLE, Omro, June 21.—A sad | Hey, i drowning accident coourred this afternoon | LouL 8nd attempted to kill Dr. Burnside on the Muskingum River, four miles be- low this city. Grant Harvey, aged 33; Emma Collins, aged 21; A. 0. Williams, aged 21, and Lulu Evans, aged 16, were out in a skiff in the middle of the river, when the boat began to fili with water. Young Williams sprang into the water, and, with his hands on the boat, was swimming for shore. When within thirty feet of the shore the three occupants be- came panic stricken and jumped into the water. In their struggle the two young ladies seized Harvey and pulled him down with them, the three sinking immediately. Young Williams was picked up by another skiff in an exhausted condition. Up toa late hour this evening only two of the bodies had been recovered, that of Miss Collins still being in the river. TESTING A MAN-KILLER The New Krag-Jorgensen Rifle an Inhuman Implement 3 of War. Experiments With Corpses as Targets Show the Terrific Eff-cts of Its Use. FORT RILEY, Kaxs., June 21.—An of- ficial test of the mew military rifle, the Krag-Jorgensen, was made on dead bodies at this post yesterday under the direction of Dr. J. D. Griffith of Kansas City, a mem- ber of the United States Association of Military Surgeons, and chairman of the National committee on testing new guns, assisted by a dozen attending surgeons and photographers. The object of the test was to find out the relative effects of the use of the Krag- Jorgensen gun fromh a humanitarian point | of view, as compared with other army rifles. The test has demonstrated to the minds of those who participated that the Krag-Jorgensen gun cannot be called a humane gun. At distances up to 1000 yards the explosive quality of the Krag- Jorgensen bullets, and consequently the cruelty of its use, is terrific. 5 The'explosive quality is most marked in the soft tissues and cavities, the brain and the lung tissues being terribly torn and the heart barst. When the vicera are grazed by a bullet they are much muti- lated. lood vessels are cut, not torn, hence the death rate on the field will be very great—four killed to one wounded, probnily. Tendons are the only tissues in the body which seem to be turned aside by the ball. A test of shrapnel shot used by the artillery followed the Krag-Jorgensen test. To do effective work the shell should burst thirty or forty yards in front of the object aimed at. Bome very effeetive wounds were obtained, and the opinion strength- ened that the shrapnel gun is to be the man-killer of the future. — AJURNEERS AT LOUISVILLE. The Irack Cleared for Business at To-Day’s Session. LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 21.—The con- vention of the North American Turner- bund disposed of considerable pre- liminary business to-day, and all is in shape for serious business at to-morrow’s session, The session was called to order at 9 o’clock at Turner Halle by First Speaker Henry Braun of St. Louis.

LSS e e TRAIN-WRECK LRS FOILED, Timely Discovery of an Obstruction Pre- ventea a Disaster. NORWALK, Oxuio, June 21.—An unsuc- cessful attempt to wreck a west-bound passenger-train on the Lake Shore road, due here at 8:57 to-night, was made at a bridge one miie west of the city. Three ties were placed in such a position that when struck by the engine they wounld tear u}) the track. Martin Ruff, a resi- dent of Norwalk. discovered the obstruc- tion and, hastening to the depot, vave the alarm. Three men who were found near the bridge were arrested and are now in jail.

Debs, the labor agitator, spoke at Fanueil Hall this evening. Some 500 laboring men were present, and they vehemently hissed the name of Grover Cleveland. Mr. Debs spoke on the potency of the ballot in the hands of the workingmen, upheld strikes, denounced the money power, and severeiy criticized the Judges of the Su- p.eme Court, George M. Puilman and President Cleveland. fiimsitoz: R Wife Murder and Swicide. WICHITA, Kax., June 21.—0. E. Hart, a prominent farmer of this country, shot and killed his wife, Ida, at a boarding- nouse on North Main street, where he had followed her from their home in Sunny- dale, finding her in company with Link Pitts, a mau who fled from Sunnydale to escape the wrath of scores of farmers whom he had swindled outof large sums. After killing his wife Hart blew out his own brains with a revolver. Pittand Mrs. Hart bad been intimate for some time. BULLETS FOR AN OUTLAW BAND. “Bob” Wilson Slain by a Posse of Minnesota Citizens. BATTLE IN A SWAMP. Followers of the Desperado Hoist a White Flag When He Is Killed. ONE FOUND BADLY WOUNDED. Two Murders Avenged by the Death of the Notoricus Bandit Chi:f. NORTH BRANCH, Mn June 2L.— The hand of justice meted with exceeding swiftness 1 the case of the desperadoes who murdered Jacob Hay and Andrew Foster at Wyoming, Minn., at 1 o'clock Saturday morning. *“‘Bob” Wilson, the leader of the gang, was killed shortly after 1 o’clock this morning, a few miles from here, and tce other two—James Cunning- ham and George Kelly—were captured after making a desperate resisitance. Cun- ningham was badly wounded. The men are despéeradoes who have been committing robberies along the St. Paul and Duluth road for the past month. After robbing Dr. Foster of $75 and shoot- ing Paul and Hay dead the bandits moved northward along the railroad to this point. On Saturday night they entered the home of ex-Mayor Frank Smith, taking a watch, a sma!l sum of money, some clothing and a lot of provisions. Theyv then moved on in the direction of Duluth. A hali mile from here they were met by alot of railroad men, who had heard of the Wyoming killing. The raiiroaders ordered them to halt, but they answered only with a couple of shots from a re- volver. Then they dropped part of their booty and ran. The railroad men ran into North Branch, notified the station agent and sroused the town. Word was sent out all along the line that the desperadoes had been located, and a posse of seventeen men was made up here and at once went in hot pursuit. At 1 o'clock this morning the three bandits were located in a tamarack swamp. | The posse gradnaily drew in on the men in a circle. When about thirty yardsaway the desperadoes opened fire from a hastily improvised breastwork of logs. The guns of the posse opened and bullets flew thick and fast. Then there was a lull, during which the posse made no advance. Finally one of the men behind the logs slowly poked up bLis head, when quick as a flash a rifle shot rang out and the fellow fell back behind the breastwork, shot through the head. He died instantly. His companions ran up the white flag and soon afterward were taken in tow by the posse. Cunningham, a mere bov of 19, was found to be badly wounded about the head. FISHEEMEN'S FRICTION, Sevious Troubdle Threatened on the Coast of Mewfoundland. ST. JOHNS, NewroUNDLAND, June 21,— The British warsiip Mohawk left here suddenly before daylight this morning upon receipt of urgent telegraphic orders from Commodore Bourke, commanding the flagship Cordelia, directing her to proceed to White Bay, where trouble has arisen between British and Yrench | fishermen along the celebrated French shore. The French flagship La Clocheterie and the British flagship Cordelia met at Bonne Bay last week and passed without saluting. Serious friction is feared during the coming months, because several thou- sand Newfoundland and French fishermen are mixing together on the coast. T EDUCATIUN IN ENGLAND. The Government to Inorease Its Asgi: ance to Voluntary Schools. LONDON, ExG., June 21.—The Times will to-morrow say that at the Cabinet council beld Saturday it was decided to entirely abandon the education bill, and to introduce in 1897 a short bill increasing the financial assistance given by the Gov- ernment to voluntary schools. The Times denounces the decision, and declares that Mr. Balfour, the Government leader in the House of Commons, is larzely responsible for the mismanagement of parliamentary business, which has com- velled the strongest Government of mod- ern times to surrender to a feeble and dis- credited island. MEXICO'S POP 4R PRESIDENT. Great Demonstration Over Diaz's Nomi- nation for a Fifth Term. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., June 21.— There was a great demonstration here to- day in honor of President Diaz, who has been renominated for a fifth verm.

The bells were ringing all day and to-night there was a display of fireworks. Forty volumes, with more than half a million signatures favoring the re-nomin- ation of President Diaz, were presented. He had practically no opposition. e 8T. PETERSBURG STRIKERS. Forty Thousand Operatives of Cotton Mitls Are Out. ST.

Consul McL‘lzug/uTn:s Shameful Conduct in the Case of an American Prisoner at Durango. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.—As a result of the inspection of the United States Consulates in Mexico by R. Chil- ton, chief of the Consulate Bureau, Secre- tary Oluey has accepted the resignation of Consal McCaughan at Durango. Consul McCaughan owes his virtual dismissal to his conduct in the case of John Bally, an American citizen held on the charge of robbery. He had been in jail sixteen months and complaint had been made o the State Department that the Consvl was not attempting to secure a speedy trial or to have his case investigated. Mr. Chil- ton ascertained that the Consul was the principal prosecuting witness against Bally and was general manager of the company which Bally is charged with having rebbed. ARl S On Another Fishing Cruise. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.—Presi- dent Cleveiand to-night, accompanied by Becretary Carliste and Dr. O'Reilly, left Washington for a brief {ishing cruise along the South Atlantic coast. The party will probably spend two or three days on this excursion, and shortly after their reiurn Mr. Cleveland will be in readiness for his summer vacation at Gray Gables. A California Production Pre- sented to the Golden Gate Park Museum. Yesterday was the longest day in the year, and many people concluded to make a day of it by going out of town. Great crowds went by train to San Jose and to the Santa Cruz Mountains, while still greater crowds went to points on eastern and northern sides of the bay, conse- quently visitors to the park and ocean beach were not numerically as large as they have been in the past. Among the many contributions to the park museum during the past week is one that will attract considerable attention. It is a piece of iron ore sent by C. L. Hubbs of Daggett, San Bernardino. It is about 14 inches long, and 6x8 inches wide, and its weight is a little more than seventy pounds. Mr. Wilcomb’ the curator of the museum, who is a mineralogist, states that it is a wonderfully rich specimen containing at least 60 per cent of iron. In a letter accomvapying the donation Mr. Hubbs writes: “This is from a group of seven iron claims covering para!lel veins or leazes from 100 to 350 feet in width each. The ore from each is as solid as the specimen.’’ Curator Wilcomb has also received from M. Braverman of Tulare a discovery that 1s new in this State. It is a piece of milk- white quartz, which the curator declares is different from any quartz of that de- scription ever before exhibited. He pro- poses to have a piece of it cut off ana polished and will then exhibit the rough and the finished side by side. He has also come into possession of a piece of rock from Tulare County which has been polished. It is of various colors, which blend and present the appearance of a small slab o opal. At the time the World’s Fair at Chicago was opened Superintendent McLaren of the park was requested to send on some of the hardy outdoor shrubs for the pur- pose of decorating the ugper allery of the California building. The collection he sent on attracted a great deal of attention and was different from any displayed in the other State buildings. The directors of the fair were so pleased with the San Francisco collection that at the close of the exposition thev had it transferred to one of the parks. Last week the Golden Gate Park Commission- ers as a token of appreciation of this col- lection received from the commissioners a handsome bronze medal bearing on cne sidee a fignre representing the landing of Columbus and on the obverse “World’s Columbian Exposition in commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus, MDCCCXCII— MDCCCXCIII, to Goideu Gate Park.” Among the many bicycle riders seen on the park road isa one-irmed boy named Paul McCarthy. He handles his wheel with all the facility of one possessed of two hands. As a pedalist he is in it with the most speedy, and some of the mas- ters of the art of cycling have declared that he will in a short time take rank with the best known scorchers, it he does not beat them. Superintendent McLaren stated yester- day that there was not much work on hand, as the funds would not permit of any, but that which was absolutely neces- sary was being done. The work on the bicycle track has been continued and will be until it is finished. What may be done in the future 1s uncertain, as there is no certainty as to what the sppropriation will be. The Auditor has cut down the estimate for the park, making it $50,000 less than it was for the preceding fiscal year. The two steps upon which is to rest the granite pedestal of General Grant is all that has been put in position since the removal of the convict-dressed stone whici was placed some time ago. It was announced that if the obnoxious stone was removed it would beimmediately replaced by another monument. Several weeks have passed since the convict-dressed stone was quietly carted away, aud there is noth- ing to replace it but the two steps, wnich bave been in position about two weeks. J. L. Bardweil of this City has donated to the museum a curious cane made from the backbone of a shark; James Robbins of this City has contributea a $1000 Con- federate bond and some Confederate notes. M. Braverman of Tulare, has sent in a curiously carved wooden bowl used by In- dians of the northwestern portion of the Queen Charlotte Islands. One of the large seals turned up its fins last Saturday night and was cast upon the beach near the Olympic pier yesterday, where it was reviewed by tEose who went to Sutroville by the sea. The attractions in the baths were many and they amused the crowds who were under the large dome. Dana Thompson essayed the feat of swimming under the water from one end of the big tank to the other, baving accomplished the feat the day before, but he made 2 mistake in direction and was forced to come up after being beneath the surface a littie over four minutes and baving swum three- quarters the distance. The race between lively ducks and expert swimmers was rare sport. The ducks swaum rapidly and when the swimmers attempted to catch them the wily ducks went under, and like Thompson, swam far away out of signt. A number of young men have for several days past been swimming in the surf be- tween ti.e baths and the Seal Rocks with 8 view of swimming around the rocks at some future time—in about two weeks, so says Colonel Robinson, the marager of the baths, Mise Essie Viola, baving recovered from the effects of bruises received by being dashed against the third-story window of a house at the Mission a week ago last Saturday while coming down with her arachute, took another flight from the aight-street grounds yesterday after- noon. The ascent was a pretty one, and when the bailoonist cut loose, the para- chute opened gracefally, but before she reached the ground the cloth that sup- ported her collapsed, and she came down with a run, Fortunately she came down on soft ground near the German Hospital and escaped injury. | 1 HOUSES RAZED BY A FURIOUS GALE 'St. Louis Again Swept by a Destroying Wind Storm.

CHICAGO, ILL., June 21.—Ten thousand per- sons saw the Cincinnati team win a lively game from the colts to-day. Dwyer was in the box for the visitors and had the colts safe at all times.
