""it,,' Tn One Vast Arena* " ^ aefne at the dedication of the World's Columbian Exposition was one that amazed the throng of nearly 2li0,- <KK» people wh> attended, and it was one which has never before been paralleled in the history of the universe. In the vast l u lding devoted to manufactures there were fully 1(10,0(10 people, most of them seated, and twice that num­ ber would not have crowded the struc­ ture. The decorations were lavish in profusion, beautiful in design, and the ceremonies were ol the most impressive order. Naturally, but a small propor­ tion of those present could hear the ad­ dresses, and in consequence the throng outside the building equaled that in­ side. the fireworks display in the even­ ing at three parks simultaneously was most elaborate, and was seen for many miles about. An Old Catholic Submit*. FATHER EDWARD RANDALL. KXOWLES, of Kew York, who has been the leader of the Old Catholic movement in the United States and who obtained orders from the Syrian church under the patri- orch of Antioch, announces that he has submitted to Borne. His reasons, he alleges, are absolute conviction as to the papal claims and the lack of con­ sistency among the Old Catholic episco­ pate, besides the want of definite juris­ diction. Father Knowles has married while at variance with the church and cannot officiate as a priest. Madness on a Throne. THE Prince of Montenegro is showing symptoms of mental troub e. He suf­ fers frpm intense nervous irritation, foi which he finds expression in severe ar­ bitrary acts of despotism against men of the highest position, resulting in the exodus of members of the Montenegrin nobility. Resentment of the Prince's acts is growing daily, Two priests have been sent to St. Peterburg with a petition, bearing thousands of signa­ tures, praying the Czar to try to induce the Prince to abdicate. % C. lJurkhalter tt Co. Go to the Wall. CHARLES AND JOHN H. BUBKHALTER, composing the firm of C. Burkhalter & Co., wholesale grocers, New York, made an assignment to Charles Fancher, with preferences aggregating over $183,000.

THE schooner Evelina arrived in Bos­ ton harbor on Friday with fifty-seven Esquimaux, a pack of dogs, and tents, to form the typical Esquimaux village at tho World's Fair, but there was a hitch about allowing them to land, the customs officers hardly classing them as emigrants, and not caring to take the responsibility^ case they should not return home. The schooner cleared" from Slielburne, N. S., on Oct. 1, with fifty-seven Esquimaux, men, women, and children, twenty-four native dogs, one komatik or sled, ten kayaks or seal­ skin canoes, and a sealskin tent; be­ sides there were eight barrels of green | sealskin to be made into clothing 1 and other articles, some deerskins and rabbit skins, a lot of dried : fish and dried deer, and seal meat for food, a lot of stoves, lamps, and a nuni- j ber of barrels of seal oil and blubber to I furnish fuel for them, three white 1 ear j skins, and a lot of old whale and fish ! bones. There was a ton or more of old | gravestones, a barrel and a box filled i with human bones, and a lot of little images cf Esquimaux, dogs, kayaks and komatiks, beautifully carved out of { walrus ivory by some of the smarter . natives; The men and women dress i alike in skins of the hair seal. Some of j the skins were the handsome spotted | ones of the leopard seal. The deck was j littered with the kayaks or canoes, and ' men staried to run to a distant gulch. Three of their number were wounded and these wore left to perish. The rustlers were shot down beforo they had gone 1,000 yards. The prairie fire did not destroy the wounded rustlers. They begged to be allowed to die in peace, but they, together with the bodies of their six dead companions, were strung to tho limbs of a big tree and allowed to remain there to become the prey of buzzards. 3 T SOUTHERN.

Two were fatally injured. The 6torm also struck Cincinnati, and two men were killed. SAN FRANCISCO evening papers pub­ lish a story said to have been related by passengers from China by the steamer Oceanic, that Li Hung Chang, Prime Minister or Viceroy of China, had mani­ fested symptoms of insanity. All audi­ ences he grants are given in public, with all officers of the court and all servants in attendance. For the head of the govern­ ment to slap the face of an official in the presence of an inferior is considered a deadly insult, and the man who is struck loses caste forever. Yet this is what Chang is said to he doing daily. Almost every one to whom he grants audience is kicked and cuffed in front o* servants and retires in disgrace. Ac­ cording to the passenger's story, affairs came to a crisis just before the steamer sailed. One of the Generals of the Chinese army appeared before Li Hung Chang to make an official report. The Viceroy, with no apparent cause, struck the General in the face. The latter was only prevented by attendants from fall­ ing on the Viceroy. THE little Esquimau colony at the World's Fair grounds presented a very woe-begone appearance Tuesday. Bain does not agree with the natives of the frozen North. As soon as the drops began to fall the members of the colony left the open air and sought shelter in their tents. They huddled around the entrances of their temporary dwelling places and watched the rain drops pattering on the dead leaves on the ground. Even the dogs looked anything but comfortable. They were tied in ones or twos to the trees and the air seemed to be too warm for them, as th<jy were breathing quickly and their tongues were lolling out like those of dogs after a long chase. After the members of the colony had tired of looking at the falling rain they sat on the ground within their tents and spent the time industriously killing certain forms of small insect life that had evidently been giv­ ing them much discomfort. Judg­ ing by the way in which they whacked their thumb-nails together they were well rewarded ior their occupation. In one of the tents four won.en could be peen assiduously engaged in relieving their clothing of the presence of trouble­ some insects. The boys seemed to feel more at home in their new quarters than the older members, and they went around fondling their dogs or threaten­ ing to whip them when the animals front time to time set up a dismal howling. WILSON MARVIN, of Deer Flat, in the northern part of tfiaho, has given Deputy Sheriff Lor too, of Eeamlt, de­ tails of a battle that resulted in the complete obliteration of a large gang of .horse-thieves that had long been a eoun e of great loss to farmers and stockmen.

C., the sealing schooner Sea Lion reports that it put into Sand Harbor to repair September 20, having on board 800 skins, and was about to leave port three days later, when it was seized by United States Collectoi Bullock on d'spatches from Unalaska, the Collector stating that fresh orders compelled him to take pos­ session of any schooner that had been in the sea in the spring, when the steamer Coquitlan was seized. Dep­ uty Marshal Todd was placed in charge of the Sea Lion, but wa=» put ashore at night, and the schooner put on sail and escaped.

Italy's wheat crop, however, is IB per gent, be­ low last year's, wh|le England's IB 17 per cent, below the normal. yield. In fact, the condition of affairs through­ out Great Britain is the worst over ex­ perienced. Last year was thought to be bad, but this is worse. Wheat will yield only 82.7 per cent.; barley, 97; oats, 93; potatoes. 95; beans, 81 In France the wheat crops have turned out satisfactorily. The official statistics published by the Agricultural Depart­ ment estimated the yield at 300,471,157 bushels, against 214,558,312 bushels in 1889. The average weight of this year's wheat Is 62i pounds to the bushel, against 6l£ pounds in 1891. The yield has been about 16!jf bushels per acre. The rye crop is officially computed at 07,075,269 bushels, as compared with 59,369,513 bushels in 1891. In Germany the wheat crop is esti­ mated at 101,750,000 bushels, against 85,000,000 bushels in 1831. The empire will require supplies from abroad of only about 12,375,000 bushels. The German rye crop is satisfactory and seems lo have reachel 245,000,000 bushels. Austria's wheat crop, according to the returns published by the Secretary of the International Grain Congress held in Vienna, has* yielded 49,551,250 bushels, against 49,50i»,000 in 1891. To cover the deficit 33,000,000 to 41,000,000 bushels will be required from abroad. The rye crop is estimated at 74,000,000 bushels. In Hungary the annual report of the Minister of Agriculture states that the Wheat crop may be considered an aver­ age one, yith regard to quantity. As to the quality, it varies considerably in different areas. The yield is given ap­ proximately at 187,000,000 bushels, against 124,000,000 in 1891, a surplus of 49$. Fifty-five million bushels are available lor exportation. The greater ?art of this will be taken up by Austria. 'hat whole monarchy will export 14,- OOO.OOO to 16,000,000 bushels. The wheat crops of Bulgaria and Roumelia reach a grand total of 49,- 000,000 bushels, against 46,000,000 bushels in 1891.

There will be about 2c,0u0,000 to 30,000,000 bushels for export. Servla's wheat crop is es­ timated at 11,000,000 bushels, leaving 2,750,000 bushels for export. In Greece the wheat yielded 4,000,000 bushels. The kingdom will have to import about 4,500,000 bushels. Italy's returns, published by the Min­ ister of Agriculture, estimates the wheat crop at about 110,8.0,000 bushels,against 124,000,000 bushels in 1891. The deficit to be covered by importation will be from 30,oOO,OoO to 33,000,0u0 bushels. Russia, according to the latest official statistics, has a wheat crop which may be estimate! at 21-%fl0<>,i00 bushels, against 1^7,000,000 bushels in 1891. The quantity available for exportation will be 60,000,000 to 69,000,000 bushels. The Russian rye crop appears, according to figures given by the Economiste Fran- cais, to have yielded 596,0. (>,000 bushels, COST OF SEEINUTHE FAIR. Necessary Expenses for Viewing the Great .,, Columbian Exposition. A great question with intending vis­ itors to the World's Fair next year is the expense. It has been calculated that it will tane at least a month, 28 days, to get any sort of an impression, and on that tasis a Chicago correspon­ dent suggests a practi.acle stale of prices. Railroad rates will prot ably te one full fare to Chicago from any pojnt for both ways. Rooms in Chicago can be rented at $1 per day, which price will injure cleanliness and comfort. This will be $28. Car-fare to the grounds will be about 20 cents a day, and, sup­ posing the fair is closed on Sunday, will amount to $4.80. As for table board, it can be secured for from $3 to $7 for breakfast and dinner. The last figure will certainly insure excellent board. Therefore $28 will cover the item. Lunch will be served on the fairgrounds for a small sum--say 50 cents a day-- adding another $12. Admission to Jackson Park is 50 cents, and for the 24 exhibition days will amount to $12. Two dollars, however, should be subtracte l from that, for the visitor may well spend four days on the Midway Piaisance, waere admission is free. Admission, however, to the 29 concessions on the Plais&ance will be 25 cents apiece, and, adding the Eskimo concession within the grounds, the whole can be seen for $7.50. The cost of catalogue?, which will be necessary to see the exhibition intelli­ gently, will be $13.75. Car fare within the park may be reckoned at $2. No estimate can be made for sightseeing in Chicago nor for evening entertainments, which may be made to rcach any figure. As for Sunday expenses $2 a week is not too mu h to put down under this head. Adding a few dollars for incidental and unseen expenses the total runs up to $120. It does not seem over confident to believe that this sum embraces all necessary expenses and that the judi­ cious visitor need not expend more than that on e: sentials.

The formal opening of the series of celebrations consequent upon the dedi­ cation of the Columbian Exposition was inaugurated in Chicago's streets Thurs­ day morning with all the world to look upon it and admire. It was the opening of an event that will go ringing down the ages as the most brilliant page in the history of a great and prosperous nation. To-day the people who have made the prosperity of Chicago, and incidentally represent the greatness of all Uncle Sam's broad domains, have been busy adding to the history of our times--commemorating with the greatest civic parade ever seen in this or any other country the most sublime event that the world has ever known. To-day, the ignominy cast upon Columbus by the ingrates of his time has been washed away in a sea of grateful and never - to - be-lorgotten splendor. Never in its history has Chicago wit­ nessed so glorious an apotheosis of the spirit of patriotic decoration--no city on this continent has ever stood before the eyes of the world appareleled in drapery so gay or so festively beautiful. Chicago wreathed in smiling panoply embodies the genius of Progress, the merriment of Momiis, and the ever- living Phoenix of legendary lore. To­ day, as never before, Chicago has pictured the might of Western genius that rose undaunted from the flaines, and created by the blue waters of Lake Michigan the most progressive city in the nation that Columbus made pos­ sible. And, oh! The crowds that came to witness the triumph of the World's Fair oity! They came from north, and from ea3t and from south and from west-- they came from every point from whence the iron horses and their long trains of cars could bring them; they began to come a week ago, with every day an in­ creasing volume, until the tide of hu ­ manity into a vast and over­ whelming flood. No such a multitude as surged through the streets has Chicago ever before seen. Political conventions with their crowds and clamor were left far behind, and the scene^ on the down-town thor­ oughfares as the great parade moved off will be long remembered alike by Chl- cagoans and by the visitors who thronged the city. When the hands on the great clock in the Board of Trade tower pointed to 11 o'clock there was hardly breathing room in the area set apart for the parade and dubbed the "dead lines." The re­ viewing stand at the Government Building was crowded with the invited guests of the Columbian Exposition, with a rapidly narrowing spa?e left for the accommodation of Vice President Morton, and the Cabinet of the United States, Chief Justice Fuller and Associ­ ate Justices, the Governors of the States and their staffs and the diplo­ matic corps. The stand erected by the city atStateand Washington streets for the municipal officials and their guests, as well as the several stands erected by private enterprise for speculative pur­ poses, were crowded to their utmost capacity. Start of the Procession. , It was clo?e to the noon hour when the vanguard of stalwart policemen spurred their restless horses and wheeled into line. General Miles and his brilliantly uniformed military aides, and the more brilliantly attired civilians of his staff, came into view, and pres­ ently the advanced guard of that vast army of 75,000 men wei*3 in motion. The first grand division formed on Michigan avenue,with the right resting on Twelfth street. The other grand divisious and their numerous subdivisions occupied the cross streets south of Twelfth. The line of march was north on Michigan avenue to Van Buren, west on Van Buren to Wabash avenue, north to Lake street, west to State, south to Adams, west on Adams, past the grand reviewing stand, to Franklin, south to Jackson, thence past the Union League and its hundreds of members and guests grouped in a gorgeously decorated observation stand, to State street, and south on State to Twelfth, where the various organizations began to drop out of the line. Everywhere along the line of march the distinguished men as well as thp organizations mak­ ing the most striking displays were greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Though the sun had hid itself behind a bank of clouda, and the sky looked down with a lowering face upon the moving display of animation and colors, nothing could damp the ardor of the crowd, and nothing that was worthy escaped their notice. At the Reviewing Stand. From the grand stand on the Adams qtreet front of the Government Bu Id- iH,g, Vice President Levi P. Morton, the members of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, and diplomat e3 from all the na­ tions of the earth, witnessed the grand oivic parade as it passed in review. In the streets there was a mob; it cannot be called by any other name. It was to a certain extent kept in check by the police, but it was packed solid from the building walls to the curb and it was almost ut­ terly impossible to pass through it. The police kept order to a certain extent, but individuals would break through and cross the lines. The police were simply overpowered. Thdy did their best to keep the mob in check, but coull not. The cfowd was orderly enough in its way. but it was unable to conform to the requirements, and many times it surged out beyond the police line and trespassed on the procession. It was undoubtedly the greatest civic parade ever witnessed anywhere. , Newsy Paragraphs. DAVID STEVENSON, the New York brewer, is dead, aged 46. His wealth is estimated at $4,000,000.

The exited! encj of a protective tariff ha" - been vindicated by the experience of the lastL uurty years -the most wonderful period offr* financial success over unheard of difficulties iniv the record of modem civilization. Eight years ago, in a masterly public paper, James G.?fi Blaine called attention to the revelations of vv. the United States census as to the net results of the labor and savings of the American peo-^% 1 „ pie under the system of a protective tariff, i. •' •' The true value of all the property in the?'.';;;:1 United States, excluding slaves, was set j ft - ' down in the census of i860 at $14,000,- ,**• 000,000 that being what there was to C K;. /? show tor the toil 01 250 years. With 4*?* i- •. the success of the Republican party that year < the Republican protective policy, which hasij"'. , since prevailed, was introduced. In the census - 1 « Of 1880 the true value of the property in the. •' • v United States was set down at $4*.coo,000,000-- • V- npking an increase in these twenty years of T* Republican protection of $30,000,000,000, or over - double the entire growth of tho previous 250^"' '-^"-... years. We are now able to carry the compar- '• . x , ' i ison ten years further, through the disclosures . of another decennial census. It appears that t i < -•• the property of the United States has been • "till further Increased In the last ten years by $14,000,000,000--making a total increase in the * thirty years of Republican rule and a liepub- 1 -* ,7 ^ i lican protective tariff of J44,000,(OO.OCO. against V> 114,000,000,000 earned in the previous 2fi0 years., Reference is here made to the reports , ^ of different labor commissioners-- no-1 tably Peck of New York--to show the prosperity of laboring men under the^« /* present tariff. Continuing, Mr. Reid - says; • ,'4 \ The People Will Judge. £ , * ^ " These official refutations of the Democratic '. •, t denial that the country is prosperous are con- •&.!*», firmed by the personal experience and obser- vation or the people at large. They know that their own regions are not suffering from gen- ia eral calamities, and in their communities other."; industries are more prosperous than that of •"= .- the sheriff, and they may be left to form their own opinions of the degree of trust and power they should now give to a party thus eager to calumniate the country. Th© Question of Currency. On the subject of currency the issue bstween :v th« Bepubllcan^arty and its opponents iaal-JiK ^ most aa sharply defined as on the tariff. Wes / ' demand that every dollar, paper, silver, or * ,* >V >*\f gold, shall be made and kept as good as any *' • :K * V other dollar. Our opponents, while professing " • the same desire, demand that the national bank 1 " ssj currency shall be broken down by the repeal o£ 4 ' , the 10 per cent, tax on the issues o£ State i banks. The lamented Garfield proudly claimed in 1S80 that our paper currency is now V :" ^ ; as national as the Hag. and everywhere equal -5 ^ to coin. The proposal of our opponents is to • •< -i sectionallze it again, and thus return to the &r State bank system under which it was rarely equal to coin, was often at a rninoqp discount, and often worthless. The Silver Problem. There is good reason to hope for some prac­ tical union of effort for common solution of the sliver problem, with an increased use of silver, through the renewed International Sil­ ver Conference, which the wise policy of the present administration has secured from the leading commercial nations of the world, but: in any event the country has learned in all such questions to trust the financial skill and1 Integrity of the Republican party and to dis­ trust its opponents. t- • •- N-'A" ' 14, whom he stabbed to the heart with etknife la a childish quarrel. 's. . i >n; • ,-A. r / , • .•V; . *.» Power of the Democracy. The danger has never before been so great. Tho Democratic party has threatened the peace or piosperity of the country, but within the memory ©f this generation it has never had the power to carry out its purposes". When it had a President he was held in check by a Republican Congress; and when a Democratic House of Representatives was elected it was still held in check by a Republican Senate. Not for one hour since March, 1850, has the Democratic party had power to control th* legislation and direct the policy of the United States Government. It has been some­ times said: "You predicted all manner of disasters when Mr. Cleveland was elected, but nothing happened". A good many regretable things did happen, though the worst could not, because the nands of the party were tied in Congress. It they elect a President this time _ , they will certainly have both the House and 7v"'~ ^ ;5 Senate too, and thus will be placed in absolute l control for the first time since 185'.), with noth- ing to prevent their carrying out the threats they have made against both the present tariff and the present currency. President Harrison's Administration. PK i"* 1 The administration of President Harrison has been generally recognized as honest, able and safe. Abroad it has adjusted difficult questions with consideration for weak nations and with courteous but resolute firmness to the most powerful. At home it has refunded a portion of the remaining debt at the lowest rate obtained by any nation in the civi­ lized world; has largely strengthened and im­ proved onr navy; lias greatly enlarged the free list at onr custom houses and remitted over $100,000,000 of duties on a single article in ad­ mitting sugar free. The present condition of the country and the general public confidence in tho administration combine to form the strongest protest against a change. A sudden reversal of policy is not what either the suggestions of ordinary business prudence or the obvious and general contentment of the people call for. 1 believe your declara­ tion of principles and your renomiuation of » prudent; spotless and successful President will command the popular approval at the polls, and will, udder Ood, inure to the continued benefit of our country. f 4: M. PASTEUR, the scientist, been experimenting upon animals with what he calls the "choleraic vaccine," claimiug that it entirely protects them against the virus of the cholera when it is introduced In­ to the intestines. It causes excruci­ ating pain but does not result in death. It is now proposed to try the experiment upon prisoners of state held under Prince Damrong of Siam, who is a friend and admirer of Pas­ teur. Though these criminals are under, a death sentence, the experi­ ment is one that few good govern­ ments would permit. It may prove of untold benefit from a scientific standpoint, but even when the law dooms men to die it provides the method of execution, and a resort to any other method is unwarranted. v X A BROOKLYN gun club lost over * ̂ three thousand dollars' worth of val-' ;v 1 uable dogs by placing the animals in ^ \ outdoor kennels surrounded by wires, " U J to which the dogs were attached by^ ;>|; V« chains and metal collars.
