THE S FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1897. N THOUSAND CHILDREN MARCH It Little Ones Have a Day| in the Utah Cele- bration. Floral Tributes Are Deposited at the Brigham Young Monument. Touching Ceremonles In the Ca- thedral During the Crowning of Ploneer Woodruff. SALT LAKE, Umg, July 22— Ten thousand children of every denomination in this city, Mormon, of course, predom- inating slightly, to-day passed the statue erected to the memory of Brigham | Young, the founder of Utah, and as each one of the future men and womenof a| sovereign Btate got within arm’s reach | they tossed at the foot of the pedestal a | tribute of flowers, so thatat the end of the parade the hard, polished granite was fairly hidden beneath a wilderness of | blossoms. It was children's day and right royally did they celebrate it, notwithstanding the fact that just as the parade started a siight rain began to fall, and the 10,000 Japanese parasols carried by the lttle | ones were soon soaked and the colors were transferred to the white dresses or | their summer hats. The procession to- day was over a mile long, and was one of the most impressive scenes witnessed in the celebration. There were many floats in line, representing the fairy tales which are so loved by children, including “‘Mother Goose,” a fine portrayal of the | nursery rhyme, The prettiest of all, how- ever, was the sego lily float, the sego lily | being the State flower of Utah. On a raised platform, the sides of which were ornamented with paintings of the | plant, were five huge sego lilies, almost true to life, and in their fairy-like petals sat “‘fairies” —at least the mearest repre- sentation of fairies that mortals can pro- duce. It was an exquisite sight to witness those baby faces and golden curls just 1eeping out of the snow-white petals. Over each fairy head hovered a butterfly n gorgeous colors. Then there came | Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater,” “Ding, aong, dell,” *“‘Sunflowers and Indians,” *'Mother Goose,”” “The Old Woman who lived in a shoe,” *“The papoose float,” *‘Tie basket”” and many others. Aiter the children had passed the mon- ument on the return all entered the Tab- ernacle, adults being held back by police- men until the little ones were seated. Once inside there was another revelation. | From somewhere each little one produced | an American flag, and as the chorus of | 2000 childish voices started “America” 10,000 more little ones arose, and in the balcony and on the floor the air was one mass of glorious color. It was a scene that caused admiration and applause from | the visitors ana supreme satisfaction to the Salt Lakers. The greatest applause of the afternoon, however, came when Pioneer Wilford | Woodruff entered the building and took | his usual place upon the stand. He was apparently very weak after his recent ill- | ness, being assisted by a couple of strong | men, who while nominally assisting him, virtually carried him, There were interesting ceremonies when the crowning of Pioneer Woodruff as the | oldest surviving member of the '47 band | took place. The laurel was placed upon | the pioneer by Ida Taylor Whitaker, | granddaughter of Presdent John Taylor | and Mary Oakley Taylor, both pioneers. She reverentially spoke these words: | *‘As one of the descendants of Utah’s 1847 pioneers, I crown you, the oldest of that noble band present here to-day, and | pray God's blessing on you and all your ploneer companions.” As the wreath was placed upon his ven- erable brow Woodruff reached up and ! taking the child in his arms drew her | down and kissed her, saying, “God bless | you.” | Music followed, and the benediction was | offered by Rev. Mr. Lockwood of the | Methodist church. | Twenty thousand people crowded the | vrincipal streets of the city this evening | to view the illuminated parade. There were many floats in line, but one that| probably appealed most strongly to the | hearts of the pioneers was ‘‘the gulls and | the grasshoppers.” It represented the | flight of a thousand seagulls into the val- ley of the Great Balt Lake in 1848, where they made short work of millions of | grasshoppers that were thraatening the | then scanty crops. Historians tell us that | the birds filied themselves so full of grass- hoppers that they were compelled to dis- gorge, only, howevar, to repeat the opera- | tion many times. In this way were the | crops of the settlers saved in 1848. Bat for the gulls starvation would probably have been very near at hand. Since that aay | the seagulls, millions of which inhabit the islands of the lake, coming ashore annu- | ally, have borne a charmed life. The | average old-time Utah man would oon | think of dismembering his right hand as | to barm a gull, Victor, Uolo.,, was represented in to- night's parade by a very handsome gold float filled with Colorado beauties. GREAT ALARM IN HAVANA, R poried Marching of Gomez on the Cap- 1tal Causes a Strengtheniny of the Defenses. HAVANA, Cusa, July 22.—Great alarm was occasioned yesterday at Havana by the report that Gomez was marching on the capital. The news has not been con- firmed yet, but the panic in the city w. heightened by the extrgordinary precau- | tions for defense ordered by Weyler and the sudden arrival from Cienfugas of tbe Captain-General. A second circular 1ssued by Gomez has come to this city, It is addressed 1o all Cuban commanders in the province of Havana and instructs them to reject all proposals for home rale. A strong in:urgent camp can be seen to- day at Mariano, a suburb of the capital, The towa of Cano, a few miles from here, has been raided by the insurgents, siores plundered ana many houses burned. The garrison and inhabitants fled to Mariano, The Spaniards here, instead of recogniz- ing the fact that Weyler is responsible for the desperate situation, grow more bitter in their hatred forthe United Btates and Lee fears that demonstrations against the Americans may occur at any time. The gunboat Pizzaro, commanded by Lieutenant Enrique Leal, has had a bitter experience with a Cuban camp near the northern coast of Pinar det Rio. The lieutenant sent tweive men in a boat to | the expedition will prove of any prac! | head. | squadron. the commander sent two more boats, but they had to beat & hasty retreat, _t;ec!un the insurgents poured a deadly fire into them from behind sandhills. The gun- boat retired to Havana. In Pinar del Rio province many im- portant engazements have taken place. Several trains have arrived in Havana from that province loaded with wounded Spanish soldiers. At Naranjal the Spanish battalion of Castillan encountered the insurgents un- der Vidal Duccassi. After several hours’ ghting the Spaniards reireated because sirong re-euforcements came to the aid of the insurgents. The losses on both sides were very heavy. At Mogote, Pinar del Rio, insurgents at- tacked with dynamile a convoy carried by a battalion of Valladolid. The convoy was destroyed. The battalion of Aragon at Puerto Rico, same province, raided a Cuban hospital and later massacred twelve pacificos. ST gete LET LOOSE BY A JOKER, Another Pgeon Aleged to Be From the North Pole Has Been Caught at Tromsoe. STOCKHOLM, Swepey, July 22.—An- other pigeon was canght to-day at Trom- soe with the words “North pole pasced 15th”” stamped upon a wing. The general impression 19 that this pigeon, as well as the one caught yesterday near Soevde, was let loose by a joker. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 22.—Com- modore Me!ville is inclined to credit the authenticity of the news from Andree, the Arctic balioonist, as reported from Copenhagen to-day, giving as one reason that no other expedition in that recion was known to have carrier pigeons. should prove successful he does not think al result beyond determining the much-dis- cussed question of an open polar sea. Andree, he thinks, would not be able to raise his balloon from the ground should be alight at the mythical pole, and would not, on account of his altituae, be able to learn much cf the character of the coun- try over which he sailed. The commodore expressed great con- cern for the safety of Andree, even if the balloon should be carried in the direction the aeronaut himself laid ont. Unless he | Jands on a narrow strip of Alaskan coast, near Point Barrow, where he would fall in | with some whaler or natives, there would be very little prospect that the bold ex- plorers would ever reach civil zation. Chief Moore of the Weather Bureau is disposed to look upon the report as a canard, and points to the fact that the al- | leged message is neither dated nor signed. R BATTLE-SHIP RENOWN SENT. Significantly Interpreted as a Reply to the Dispatch Concerning Bering Sea Fisheries. LONDON, Excraxp, July 22.—What may be interpreted as the British reply to Sec- retary Sherman's dispatch concerning the Bering fisheries comes to-day in the form of an order from the Aamiralty to send the battle-ship Renown to join the North American squaaron. The Renown is one of the most powerful ironclads in the navy and will take the place of the cruiser Crescent, which will sail for Halifax im- mediatety. It will probably be denied that any hostile significance attaches to this important action, but no one ac- quainted with the methods of the British | international poliey is ligely to accept an innocent interpretation. The Renown was the flagship of the fleet at the recent naval review at Bpit- It was fally expected nuntil the Admiralty’s orders were made public that the Renown would be sent to the Pacific station, it being originally intended that she should be the flagship of the Pacific In view of this change, the Admiralty’s plans acquire additional sig- nificance. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22.—Presi- dent Jordan of Stanford University wants to find out whether the seals that inhabit Guadaloupe Isiand are the same as the fur-bearing srecies inhabiting Pribiloff archipelazo. Professor Jordan presented his views to the Government, and the State Department set to work to ascer- tain how Mexico wouid view the sending of an American commission to Guada- loups to investigate. To-day the Mexican Minister informed the State Department his Government would render all the aid possible to the commissioners. —_——e GETTING READY TO WITHDRAW. 1 Is Reported That the Turks A ready Begun to Evacuate Thessaly, CONBTANTINOPLE, Turkey, July 22 —Another conference of Embassadors was beld to-day at which the frontier de- limited by the military attaches was agreed to, and other preliminaries of peace discussed. Dispatches from Athens and Vienna agree that reports concerning the evacuation of Thessaly by Turkish troops appear to emanate fromVolo, which is the one Thessalian town occupied’ by Moslems. The reported withdrawal of troops may have had origin ih what was merely regimental movements. LONDON, Exa., July 22.—A dispatch to the Central News dated Athens, Thurs- day evening, announces inhat the Turks have already begun to evacuate Thessaly. Anotber dispatch from Athens says an order has been issued to restore railroads seized by the Turksto the Greek company Have within eight days. Several battalions have already leit Domoko for Larissa and Elassona with all munitions. Brigadier Ardonne, who is now at Halmyro, is also ready to depart. Edbem Pashais daily expected at Volo. 5 In the House of Commons to-day Curzon denied the report that peace negotiations had been suspended because of the Porte's refusal to accept the strate:ic fromtier. He added the Embassadors had received the Porte’s reply to their proposals yester- day morning, but as yet were unable to announce its contents. SR e VERY AMUSING, INDEED. An Englishman Who T. inks War Is Prcba- ble, and That the Canadian Frontier Should Be Rect fied. LONDON, Exa., July 22.—The resent- ment excited by the dispatch of Secre. tary Shermau to Embassador Hay anent the seal fisheries has reached an amusing stage. The Daily Mail gives prominence to a letler by a gentleman whose ire has been aroused by the tone of the dispateh. He begins his communication thus: “I think it very probable that war will occur between Great Britain and the United States before long. If so we oucht to take the opportunity of rectify- ing the Canadian frontier by annexing Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and a part of New York State. Such rectifica- tion would shorten the frontier several Yundred miles and give Canada a seaport (Portland), which will be free to naviga- reconnoiter the coast. Bix were killed by the insurgents and two wounded. Then tion all the year. We ought also to annex Alaska and the S8andwich Islands,’ Ifit| DON'T CARE WINS THE WINGED FOOT Crack Youngster Mc- Ivor Takes the Dia- mond Stake.

Y., July 22.—Daring the lull in boxing circles Dan Stuart and Billy Brady are both actively figuring on the fistic carnival which they intend to hold next fall in Carson. From all re- ports Brady and Stuart will not go in the scheme together, but will be rivals. So far four matches have been spoken of. The chief one under consideration outside of the Maher-Sharkey battle is the McCoy, Creedon mill. Brady, owing to the fact that he is McCoy’s manager, wili not have much trouble in securing this battle. Next in importance 1s the Lavigne-McPartland encounter, and then comes the interna- tional affair between Dixon and Jack Mec- Gowan of Australia. The latter will be, practically speaking, Dixon’s firat finish | will championship September 25, 1893. Brady is particularly anxious to get this mill and will hang up a big purse. Stuartalso wants the nght. Buck Connolly says no one has a claim for services either on M iher or Sharkey, although it looks as ji th - battle would go to Brady. It is rerort:d the latter has offered $14,000 for the mill. Connolly maintains he will play no favorites and the highest bidder will receive the combat. So far $6000 has been offered for the Mc- Partland-Lavigne contest. This match will practically decide the bestlightweight. The expense of the carnival, Which is to run at least a week, will foot up $70,000. Both Stuart and Brady are figuring on holding shows in September and October. andid e ON THE DIAMOND.

Va., July 22.—An ap- parent [uilin the coal strike in the Fair- mount district, the storm center of the strike in West Virginia, is said by Presi- dent Ratchford to be simply the calm be- fore the storm. This afternoon the dis- trict operators and the strike leaders said the chances for success in West Virginia are greater than ever before, and that within the week mining coal in the Mo- nongahela Valley will be suspended com- plately. In case Ratchford, who is now here, consents to remain, the parade of union miners anda their wives, which proved a failure yesteraay, will be under- taken to-morrow. Ratchford will also hold & mass-meeting at Willow Tree. An incipient riot wus suppressed at King's mines this afternoon by Sherift Cunningham, who, with five deputies, saved tnirty miners from injury at the bands of 200 strikers and sympathizers, who had driven the diggers from the mines, InSouthern West Virginia all the mines are working. Three agitators who approached & group of miners in Flat Top district were driven away by threats. Shipmenta over the Baitimore and Qhio Railroad to-day from Central West Vir- ginia were largely increased. To prevent disorder at Dillonvale shipments are go- ing by way of Pitisburg, over the Balti- more and Ohio. Railroad officials dis- credit reports that railroad brotherhoods have consented or refused to handle West Virgina coal. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 22.—Commis- sioner Bishop returned to-day from Cleve- land. He said to-night that tne operators there bad generally promised h m to sign the uniformity agreement. Commissioner Littie said to-night that the Westmore land and Pennsylvania gas companies and other companies will not stand in the way of the success of the uniformity agreement. This consirued to mean that these companies will sign the agree- ment. The strikers marched on Bunola mine this morning and induced the miners there to refuse to go to work. There were nojother new developments in the local situation to-day. Soms Cannonshurg miners sre still working, and this after- noon the strikers were reported as intend- ing to make a march on the mines to- morrow morning. SPRINGFIELD, IrL, July 23.—News from the strike district of Illinois is not encouraging. Fifty deputies in Canton are guarding 300 miners at work. Five hundred men from other sections have ar- rived, and affairs have reached a critical stage, At Breese not a pick was handled. At Streator the men arv still holding out and business men urge them to re- main firm. The mines at Roanoke have been running steadily, but to-day the dele- gations from Minonk, Rutland and Toluca visited the place. After a brief confer- ence the men threw down their picks and quit. This closes every coal mine in that section of the State. b S0 BURGLARS COMMIT MURDER. They Eat, Drink and Make Merry, With Thew V.ctim Dying at Their Side. BRIDGEPORT, Conx., July 22.—Two masked burglars, who had been fright- ened early this morning into an outhouse of George Nichols, a wealthy farmer liv- ing at Danieis Farm, a village in Tair- field County, returned to the house fiiteen minutes after their scare, burst in the door, from behind which they could see Nichols and his sister still searching for them, and without warning shot them both. They forced the sister (o tell where $300 was concealed and took that. They loaded the table in the dining-room with cakes and liquors, and sat with the dying farmer and ate, drank and made merry. They even fed brandy and water to him. They ransacked the bouse, and finally, two hours after their first wisit, went away promising to leave word with a neighbor that a doctor was needed. Farmer Nichols died shortly after they left. His sister, though terribly wounded, may recover. The crime resembles in many respects another robbery and murder within three miles of the Nichols house. Nichols and his sister lived alone in the house. He was 63 years old and she 57. They had accumulated & fortune of from $100,000 to $160,000 and much money was kept 1n the house. Nichols was aroused vy a noise at 1 o'clock this morning, and suspected burglars. Awakening his sister they both made a complete search of the premises. Tney had barely returned and barred the kitchen door when the two men broke it down. The next instant there were two pistol shots. Nichols fell flat on the floor. Mary Nichols felt a sting in her right side, In a moment her rightarm, which held the light, became paralyzed and the lamp dropped 16 the floor, leaving the place in darkness. ‘The robbers struck alizht and carried the dying farmer to a rocking-chair. One of the robbers sat down in a chair beside him, while the other one, pistol in hand, wzlked up the back stairway after the sis- ter, who had staggered into her bedroom. By a string of profane threats he forced her 1o reveal the money’s hiding place. Then he returned to his companion who was watching the old man. The woman, summoning her whole strength, crept to the door to alarm the neighbors. The robbers caught herand carried her to bed. They politely obeyed her request for cam- phor and water. A large portion of the couple's fortune, deeds and other docu- ments were searched for, but left behind. Then, after leisurely feasting, the robbers departea. t was nearly 9 o’clock, seven hours after the shooting, when Miss Nichols, creeping along on her hands and knees, reached the dvorand crawled into the street. A neighbor saw her. The alarm rapidly spread. No trace of the murder- ers has yet been found. Sl S Peary’s Steamer Arrives. HALIFAX, N. 8., July 22.—The steamer Hope with Peary and party aboard ar. rived at New Campbeliton, Cape Breton, to-day where the ship is coaling. Peary proceed to-morrow night, All are fGght since he defeated Solly Smith for the | well and in excellent spirits. FIVE HOURS CF TALK PER DAY Tariff Bill Will Next Be Attacked by Mr. Hoar. Futile Effort by Allison to Fix an Hour for the Final Vote. Possiblilty That the Debate May Be Exhausted To-Day and a Rollcall Reached. WABHINGTON, D. C., July 22.—The tariff conference report engaged the at- tention of the Senate five hours to-day, Chilton and Jones of Arkansas making long set speeches against it. Pettigrew declared he would vote against it if he thonght it could be defeated, but he be- lieved the report would be adopted and thought it just as well that it should be, as it would be hard to make the bill any more objectionable. An ineftectual attempt was made by Al- lison to have an hour fixed for taking the vote. When the report comes up to-mor- row it will be the subject of an attack from Teller. Chilton, in his speech, said the duty on wool is what Texas is interested in. Al- though wool-growing was one of the great industries of Texas, there were many other industries of the State which will not be benefited. He had reached the de- liberate conclusion that the people of Texas as a whole could not be helped by the tariff system. The duty on wool would take more money out of the pock- ets of the people than it would putinto them. The duty on hides might bring a direct benefit to one-tenth of the people of Texas, but it would be an injury to the other nine-tenths. Bo was it with lum- ber. He declared that if the people of Texas wanted to gzo into a scramble for their share of protection they ought to send a Republican to the Benate in his place. Chilton referred to the secret meetings on the tariff bill at the Arlington Hotel, | and said that at those meetings favors were shown Eastern manufacturers. Platt of Connecticut reminded Chilton that Colorado was represented at those meetings by Wolcott. “I thougkt Wolcott,” Chilton remarked, ‘‘was in Europe at that time chasing the phantasm of international bimetallism.’’ Jones of Arkansas accused the confer- ence committee of raising the duty on carbons for electric lighting far beyond the rates, of the House bill or the Henate amendment. He said tbere had besn no full and free conference, and the seif- respect of the Senate would require the sending back of the bill to a new confer- ence. In proof of his claim that there had not been a full and free confrrence he said that when the Democratic members of the committee were called in and de- sired to present their views they were told it would be of no use, as the conference report would go through exactlv as it was written, without the change of a lstter or syllable. ‘‘Vote the conference report down,’’ Allison suggested, ironically. “It is a mere recommendation to the Senate.” “The Benator is right,” said Jones, treating the suggestion as serious, “‘that is what ought to be done. The conference comaittee is in contempt of the Benate.” After Pettigrew's speech Teller took the floor, but yielded it to Allison, who asked that an hour be fixed for taking the vote. He suggested 5 o’clock to-morrow. “I cannot cousent,’”’ said Pettus, *Then I ask consent for the vote to be taken before adjournment to-morrow,” Allison pleaded. “I object,” Morgan put in. “Does the Senator from A to fixing any ti for the voti “I do,” Morgan replied, ‘I think it very likely that the debate on this bill will be exhausted to-morrow and we can have a final vote without any pressure, but [ am not going to make an agreement for a vote at any hour.” Allison expressed regret that no ar- rangement for the vote could be made. He would not insist on the Senator from Colorado proceeding with his remarks now, and would yleld for a motion to ad- journ, and if the Senate went on adjourn- ing after a five hours’ session no one could tell how long the debate would continne. He asked unanimous consent that the Senate should meet at 11 o’clock to-mor- row. *Ido not think this matter ought to be hurried,” Pettus interposed. *I object.’” “I accept the situation,’”’ Allison re- marked. ‘I do not desire to force the Sen- ator from Colorado to speak at this hour, but I give notice on the last day while the conference report is pending that we will adjourn at5 o’clock unless by aye and no vote. If weintend to vote on this confer- ence report we must spend more than five hours a day on it.”” The House joint resolution requesting the President to make an investigation into the tobacco contract system was laid before the Senate and passed. After an executive session the Senute adjourned. s RECIPROCITY ON CO4L, Mexican Markets Will Be Open to United States Mine WASHINGTON, D, C., July 22.—In the House to-day Dalzell reportea irom the Committee on Ways and Means a bill, which was passed, authorizing the Presi- dent to modify the operation of the law imposing discriminating tonnage dues on foreign vessels, so as to grant the vessels of foreign countries which impose only partial duties on American vessels or im- ports equal privileges with those enjoyed Ly vessels of the United States in” that country. The necessity for this Dalzell illustrated by facts connected with the cosl trade of Mexico. The United Etates ought to control the coal trade of that country, but by reason of the existing law United States coal is shut out and Mexico supnlied from Wales. The passage of the bill would open the Mexican markets to Alabama and Pittsburg mines. HAWAII, JAPAN ARBITRATION, Proposat Said to Have Been Instigated at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22.—The suggestion of Hawaii to Japan that their differences be submitted to arbitra- tion has not assumed definite shape. The matter has not progressed further than a mere suggestion. No details were contained in the proposal. Japan has exvpressed her willingness, through the official press, to meet Hawaii half way, but 50 far as is known here no official answer has been sent. Information has been received at Wash- ington that the Japanese will take no action until they learn the details of Hawaii's proposal, and will so inform Hnwau! giving assurances, however, that they will be glad to consider it with a prospect of an affirmative decision as to the definite propositions for referring the points of dispute o an unbiased tribunal.

The main question affecting the situation is the attitude of the Japanese Government in its protest against the annexation treaty. Twelve aays ago the Japanese Minister sent a reply to Sherman concerning the protest, but no answer has bsen returned by the State Department. It was said at the State Department to-day that it is among the probabilities that the dealing of the United States and Japan on the subject would be transferred to Tokio, where Minister Buck will act in behaif of this Government.

Stone of Pennsyl- who was chairman of the Com- nd Weights and Me: ures of the last House, to-day introduced in the House a bill to authorise the ap- pointment of a monetary commission and to provide for its expenses. The text of the bill is asfollows: That the President is hereby suthorized to appoint a monetary commission of elevem members, who shall be persons specially fitted by experience, training and study for the con- sideration of the subjects coming before said commission. Said commission shall investigate and re- port what changes, if any, are_necessarg and expedient in our present banking and cur- rency laws and what further legisiation, if any, is demraple relative to our National bank- ing aystem and our Government paper cur- rency of notes and certificates, and may, in connection therewith, report a codifieation of existing laws on the subject. Sald commission may take testimony and listen to arguments at its discretion, and may require and shall be entitled to receive information from any department or officer of the Governmeut on any matter within its or his special jurisdiction and coming within the scope of its investigation. Such commission shall meet for organization i Washington at such time as the Presi- dent may appoint, and hold its subsequent sessions &t such times and places as it may determine, and shall report to the President for tzansmission to Congress not later than November 15, 1897. Copies of all bilis relating to banking and currency or the circulaung notes of the Gov- ernment introduced in either House during the Fiity-fourth Congress or the first session of the Fifty-fifth shall be furnished by the clerks of said houses to the commission. One hundred thousand dollars are ap- vropriated by the terms of the bill for the expensges of the commission. This bill has been prepared by Repre- sentative Stone, after consultation with H. H. Hanna, chairman of the Indianapo- lis Sound Money Convention, and is un- derstood to have the approval of the ad- ministration. Itis the bill that probably will be psssed by the House in response to the message of the President, which he will send to Congress as soon as the tariff bill gets out of the Senate. Itis undersiood at the Capitol to-aay that the President will senda in his cur- rency coirmission message immediately after the tariff bill is signed. -—— For the New Feder«l Building, WASHINGTON, D.
