CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILDING, WORLD'S FAIR, August 5.—There is a day for everything at the World's Fair. From the Sioux village up to the ex- Hibit palaces each feature has a spe- cial celebration at some time during the exposition. Last Saturday was transportation day and, as usual when- | ever there is “something doing,” the Californians were not in the back- ground. There was & parade and the county representatives of the Golden State were alive to the occasion. About twenty of them, each carrying a large pampas plume inserted in an ear of | corn, which served as a handle, and a | emall fiag, entered the line. They were joined by nearly 100 California visitors, | &ls0_carrying pampas plumes. ‘ An honored relic of early San Fran- had a prominent place in the pa- | owing the wear of years, the car that ever ascended Clay- ed before the multi- of the interesting ob- of vehicles, show passenger conve: ur\ eclared to be | , has been ner Wig- ifornia section ltural exhibit. , measuring 26x21 about 450 pounds. inch thick.

BUSINESS DULL Labor ( 1)]111‘()\'91‘S10$ )[111tate Against Resumption Normal Trade Condition NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—R. wee will say serious drawbacks in bu most other imp ant factors tending toward improvement. Despite some reduction | in the yield of wheat crop prospects are | | most encouraging, and the loss in quan- tity of wheat promises to be fully offset | so that the agricul- | by higher prices, tural communities wiil be in a position to purchase commodities freely. De- layed orders for iron and steel pruduclfi able increase-in activit arnings in July were only lower than a year previou per cent and at many cities there is evidence of returning confidence. But several in progress, and this, to- gether with others under consideration, militate against the resumption of nor- mal conditions in trade and manufac- ture. Foreign commerce at this port for the | last week shows a decrease of $1,047,488 | in exports and a loss of $3,230,115 in im- ports as compared with the same time | r, the latter item being partially | responsible for the loss in federal reve- | nue. Tanners are seeking hides in good condition, in which the supply is short, as those taken off by unskilled hands | began are badly cut| since the strike and are offered at concessions. Failures this week in the United tes are 230, against 220 last responding week last year. Failures in Canada are 18, against 18 last week, 2 the preceding week and 19 last year.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—Bradstreet's | will say to-morrow: Business and industrial conditions are still irregular and render general- ization as to the future difficult. Con- tinued good reports from the corn crop and absolutely brilllant conditions in cotton tend to offset undeniably dis- results in the premier cereal, wheat. Dispatches to Brad- street’s indicate an appreciable enlarge- the distribution of merchan- dise at Western points, collections show a slight gain and Southern advices, buc optimistic. The iron trade, too, is showing im- provement, and even bituminous coal is looking up. Other basic industrie: however, are not so favorably situated. A few large strikes are responsible for idleness in different industries. Altogether the outlook, while cheerful enough in the main, needs definite as- surances of good crops and of settle- ment of labor disputes. Business failures for the week in the | United States ending August 4 number 179, against 174 last week and 161 in the like week in 1903, In Canada failures for the week num- ber this week a year ago. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending August 4 aggregate 1,479,198 bushels, against 1,612,265 last week and 2,040.629 this week a year ago.

The committee is completing the de- tails, and by the time the distinguished members of the order arrive in this city there will be a welcome for them | such as never befor extended to a visiting body of 0da Fellows. In view of the fact that the time be- tween the departure of the Knights | Templar and the arrival of the Odd | Fellows is so short, it would be impos- sible to change the decorative feature of the electric; display on Market street and around Union square except | to substitute the Odd Fellow. emblems | | for those of the Knights Templar. Ar- rangements have been made by which the elect lights will be allowed to | remain in place until after the adjourn- | | ment of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. But the committee will have special decorations at the Odd Fellows’ build- ing, corner of Market and Seventh streets, the Native Sons' building, | where the grand body will meet, and at | The electrical deco- | rations will also remain at the Me-; chanics’ Pavilion. | A number of the counties of the State | have given notice that they will install | an exhibit in the art gallery of the Pa- | vilion, so that the 30,000 or more visit- | ors may have an opportunity to judge| of the possibilities of the State.

ATURDAY, AUGUST RIVER CLAIMS EIGHT VICTINS, Man Takes Party of Children | Bathing in the Mississippi! and All but One Perish' —_— WALK OFF A SAND BAR! While Holding Hands They Suddenly Step From Shal- low Water to Deep Channel ALTON, Ill, Aug. 5.—While bathing in the Mississipp! River to-night Michael Riley, his daughter and six of the latter’s girl friends were drowned. One child who was in the party was rescued. The dead: MICHAEL RILEY, age 32 years. ELIZABETH RILEY, aged 11 years. ALLIE SNYDER, age 14 years. LUCY PATES, age 14 years. L1ZZIE PATES, age 14 years. BESSIE BRUM, age 14 years. MYRIE BRUM, age 10 years. RUTH MARSHALL, age 11 years. Riley lived near the river, in the southern part of the city, and was ac- customed to bathe on the beach in front of his home after his return from work. To-night his little daughter begged to go with him, and Riley took her and seven of her friends to the beach with him. When they entered the water Riley bade the children join hands, and they all waded into the river and walked along a sandbar which stretches out into the stream at that point. They had gone some distance from the shore. when suddenly the whole party disap- peared beneath the water, having in the darkness stepped from the sandbar into the deep channel. The children struggled and scream- the sandbar, on which the water was only a foot or so in depth. Riley, who is sald to have been a good swimmer, is believed to have been made helpless by the girls clinging to him and hamper- ing his efforts to save them. The only one in the party to regain the sandbar was Mary Timiny, eight years old. The child is unable to tell how she saved herself beyond the statement that “I snatched my hand loose from the grasp of the little girl next to me and soon found that I cculd stand up and the water only came to my knees. The beach where the accident oc- curred is practically deserted after nightfall and the screams of the little Timiny girl failed to attract any one to the scene. After Riley and the little girl's playmates had disappeared be- neath the water the child ran from the beach and reached her home, scream- ing at the top of her lungs. She was so hysterical that it was scme time before her parents could gather an ac- count of what had happened. According to the account given by the Timiny girl after she had been in a measure calmed by her parents, the drowning was caused by the excite- ment incident to the passage of a large river steamboat. Before entering the | water Riley had instructed the little | ones to maintain a tight grasp on one | another's hands, he taking a place in | the center. The wash from the steam- boat caused considerable confusion among the girls and in the darkness they "lost their bearings. Before they were aware of their danger two or three of them had stepped off the sand- ! bar into the channel, dragging the others with them. e ARRESTED FOR COMPLICITY IN INDEPENDENCE ~ HORROR Lignor Dealer Charged With Being Implicated in the Teller County Explosion.

PIMA INDIANS NOT STARVING Imestmatmn Reveals That | Charge Recently Made by | Missionaries Is Unfounded gy WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—A thorough | investigation by the Interior Depart- ment of the charge recently made to the President by a delegation of the | Presbyterian Board of Home Missions | that the Ind’ans of California are on | the verge of starvation reveals the fact | that the Indians, on the contrary, are | amply provided for. It was found that | )0 already had been authorized for year. Acting Secretary of the Interior | Ryan advised Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jcnes, who was at San Fran- | cisco, to meet a representative of the Presbyterier. board at the Pima reser- vation. The Commissioner has tele- graphed the department that he has| returned from a visit to the Pimas, and | “There is no more suffering there | than exists on nearly every reservation | in the Southwest owing to the severe drought during the last three years. The agent has ample funds on hand lo[ 1elieve any suffering.” The agent for the Pimas has wired as follows: ““No Indians are starving on the P(mn reservation. Flour, beef and wheat are issued to the 300 unable to work. One | dollar a day is paid to the Indians who will work. Sufficient dunds have been authorized for immediate rellef. Noth- ing is required at present. Twenty thousand dollars additional will be re- quired for the Pimas after January xw if the drought continues.” The Interior Department recenuy! instructed its superintendent of irriga- tion to construct a system of wells to supply water for irrigation purposes for the Indians, as the water from the river already has been diverted by the white settlers above the reservation. —_——— - BANDIT SAYS PARTNER IN CRIME IS IN CANADA Robber Avers He Will Never, if Given Extreme Penalty, Divuige Hid- ing Place of Booty.
