Mob violence continued through on t the city from Sat- i urday night to late Suuday night. Troops j A, mounted; naval reserves, and several] companies of (he Fifth regiment, infan- j try, O. N. G., were kept busy scattering mots. One missile thrower was shot while trying to escape from a policeman, but with all the rioting there was little harm done. Sunday night it became serious. The worst incident of the lawless night was the blowing up of a Euclid avenue car in the far east end. Nine people were in­ jured! It is believed nitroglycerin was used. Motorman Drcggers was blown, from the car, and one of his ears was blown off, but he managed to catch the car again and shut off the current. About twenty people were on the car. Women who were not hurt fainted. The car was badly damaged. Fred Smith was blown into the air, then fell into the holeB made in the floor, and was dragged along a con­ siderable distance. It is believed a couple of men who approached the spot in a bug­ gy a few minutes before the explosion left the nitroglycerin on the track. A private detective saw them and Baid he knew them. Mob violence broke forth with great fury on Burton street, near Trent street, Sunday morning. About 10 o'clock the mob, which numbered 2,500 people, at­ tacked two cars with stones. The cars were in charge of Patrolmen Moore and Thorpe. The police left the cars and the mob closed in about them. The officers fought with their clubs, but the fury of the rioters was too much for them. They were badly bruised, when a Catholic priest was seen elbowing his way through the crowd. He finally reached the police, and standing before them and the mob, commanded the rioters in the name of the church to save the lives of the men. The flowing robes of the priest and his brave act awed the mob. The officers were then token into St. Prokops Church. Their brave rescuer was the Rev. Father tVen- ceslaus. MUST ARBITRATE OR FIGHT. Premier lianrier'a Remarkable View 1 of Alaaka Boundary Dispute. In the Canadian Commons Saturday Bir Charles Tupper brought up the ques­ tion of the Alaskan boundary. He said that the United States, in refusing to sub­ mit the subject to arbitration, well justi­ fied the decision Great Britain and Can­ ada had reached in declining to allow the question to go before the joint high com­ mission. He believed that the Govern­ ment and commissioners of the United States had lost confidence in their own claims to this strip of disputed territory. Sir Charles suggested a bill providing for the protection of British and Canadian interests by enacting that no license to mine in the Yukon district shall be grant­ ed to any other than a British subject. Premier Laurier, in reply, sympathized with much that Sir Charles Tupper had said. He stated that he had little hope now of a compromise, and was very sorry to say that the negotiations had not ad­ vanced the position one iota from that of January last. Tne alternatives, he gravely stated, were arbitration or war., Arbitration, he emphatically declared, must come, and al- ROOT SUCCEEDS ALQER^ Htw York Lawyer and Politician Ap* pointed Secretary of Wan The President has appointed Eliho Root of New York as Secretary of War to succeed Russell A. Alger, resigned. The appointment was made after a con­ ference between President Mclvinley and the cabinet. The President has had- un­ der consideration the appointment of Mr.- Root for some time. Senator Piatt said his personal choice had been Gen. Fran­ cis V. Greene. He added, however, that the choice made by President McKinley would be satisfactory to New York Re* publicans, including Chauncey M. Depew, Gov. Roosevelt and himself. It is understood that the new Secre­ tary will not take charge of the purely military matters of the office, leaving these to Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn and Adjt. Gen. Corbin, while he will con­ cern himself with the larger problems arising on account of our new posses­ sions. The question of salary will not be one which will influence his acceptance of the position, for he is wealthy and Mrs. Root has quite a fortune in her own fight. m ELTHU BOOT. FRENCH ARMY IS DISCIPLINED. Gen. do Negrier'a Removal Meaal'",aa a Warning to the Milltaay. The removal of Gea. de Negrier Worn the French council of war is the most important move yet taken by the iew Government in the cattse of discipline. It may be regarded as the supreme test of the Government's strength. The na­ tionalist papers sre wild with rage over-; the latest "affront" to the army, which' they say has been beheaded. Many per­ sons even who are supporting the new ministry think that this waa a step of? doubtful wisdom, as likely to goad the, military to desperation. Gen: de Negrier wns at no tfme mi^ed lip iu the Dreyfus affair. He has distin­ guished himself for bravery and skill as a soldier and general, and was on the road to succeed to the position of gener­ alissimo of the forces. His disgrace If meant as a warning to the military not to organize conspiracies against the re­ public. Thia was, in a wry, De Negrier's offense. The Government learnt » of his meth­ ods through ail address made by Cot Bertram! to his officers at Aiixonne shortly after the departure of Gen. de Negrier from a visit of inspection to the garrison there Col. Beitrand said: "Gentlemen, owing to the attacks upoii the army, the generals of the ^ouncil of war have determined upon the day after the conclusion of the Dreyfus trial to wait upon the Government and demand that these attacks cease. If they do not, the generals will act." Col. Bertram! was summoned by the war office to explain these words, and he said that be made the address in accord­ ance with De Negrier's order. The war council subsequently told the Govern­ ment they did not share the sentiment expressed. PREMIKR LAUK1BK. though an agreement upon the terms <>! arbitration h:i<l not yet heeu reached, he held that Canada's wisest course was to exercise further patieuee and forbear­ ance. A Washington dispatch says that the statement of Premier Laurier in the Ca­ nadian House of Commons that there are two alternatives regarding the Alaskan boundary dispute, arbitration or war, is regarded in Washington as only another bluff for Canadian home consumption. The United States has been in possession of the territory in dispute for a genera­ tion. The United States has only to say, in Sir Wilfrid's ancestral language, ".Te suis; je reste"--I am here; I stay here-- and then what istSir Wilfrid going to do about it? SHERMAN S VIEW OF TRUSTS. Ohio Statesman Kays They Have the ... Coosstry at -Their Mercy. Rev. E. A. Allen, pastor of tl^e First Presbyterian Church of Kokomo, Ind., has introduced an innovation by reading letters from eminent Americans in his pulpit in place of the usual sermon. The first Sunday Phil Armour, Audrew Car­ negie and John Wanamaker responded to the theme "Christianity in Business,^" w»d last Sunday on the question of "Chris­ tianity in Politics," answers were read from Senator Foraker, Henry Watterson, Gov. Pingrec and John Sherman. Sherman's answer was: "Public opinion gives some enjoyment, but it is not hap­ piness in the sense you ask the question. It is hard to say whether unscrupulous men are helpful statesmen. A bad man can do a righteous act, bnt he is not trustworthy. A statesman most lead in public opinion and yet to be successful must keep in touch with the great mass of people. I consider money, expansion and trusts the most important questions before the country. Especially is this true of trusts. The combinations that will control the necessities of life have the country at their mercy and are, of course, daugerous. I consider honesty, Industry and religion very essential ele­ ments of success." GOV. TANNER KILLS A LION. Bzcitlnir Hunt In Colorado Enda in Death of Hnge Brnte. Gov. Tanner, who is on a hunting trip In Colorado, killed a lion Thursday af­ ternoon measuring nearly seven feet from tip to tip. The trail of the beast was followed by the party, composed of Gov. John R. Tanner of Illinois, Tingley S. Wood, C. N. Priddy, L. F. Long, M. F. Stearns of Leadville, Prof. Lemmon of Teller Institute and Bert Stroud of Debe- , • •"f- Both are fond of society, and as the posi­ tion of Secretary of War is one of the most prominent in the cabinet the couple would become leaders in Washington. Elihu Root is a leading New York law­ yer and Republican politician. The only time Mr. Root has been a candidate for an elective office was in 1889, when he ran unsuccessfully for judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He was appointed by President Arthur in 1883 United States district attorney, in place of Stewart L. Woodford, for the southern district of New York, remaining in office until 1885. He was an active member of the commit­ tee of thirty which worked to obtain re­ form in the city of New York, and in 1886 was chairman of the Republican county committee of New York. The President offered Mr. Root the Spanish mission prior to its tender to Mr. Wood­ ford. Mr. Root was also suggested as Secretary of the Interior and as ambas­ sador to London. Last year he was talk­ ed of as a United States senatorial possi­ bility. Mr. Root is president of the Union League Club. He has a charming wife, two boys and a young daughter. He is tall and slim, quiet iu manner and affa­ ble in address. He is a logical and con­ vincing speaker, and in the preparation of a brief it is said he cannot be excelled. He is fond of sport. PREACH ON INGERSOLL. Many Divines Make the Dead Infidel the Subject of erniona. The life ani death of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll hasPiuruished the theme for many of the sermons preached through­ out the length and breadth of the coun­ try, aud, iu fact, all civilized countries of the globe. Chicago.--Had he not met in his early years with the cold, formal and repelling restraints that false conceptions of re­ ligion had brought into the church he might have become America's greatest preacher.--Rev. Brown. Agnosticism ss simply an expression of the inability of the human intellect to cope with so vast a subject as the infinite being of God.--Dr. Thorp. I believe that those who some­ times attempted to reply to him did harm, too. Argument is not so good a weapon for the Christian as testimony to the power of Christ to save and bless.--Dr. Gray. There are ministers who are do- iug as much harm as he ever did; men who try to prove that Jonah never lived, who try to prove that Job was a tieti-f tious character, men who tear the very Bible to shreds with their so-called higher eriticisnift--Rev. Harrison. He had false and morbid views of Christianity; his was a curicatuiv of religion.--Dr. J. P. Thomas. New York.--Crime will continue to eat its way into the breasts of your youths as long as consciences are dulled by such doctrines.--Dr. Parkin. If in that infinite presence ho is compelled to .t«k for uiei cy we are assured in scripture that there is no failure of infinite willingness to for­ give.--Rev. Chen. He was a kind-heart­ ed, lovable father, the friend of society, an orator, hut with all his talents he was a failure.-- llev. Smith. Col. Ingersoll will be judged according to his light and according to his deeds. Surely he will bo belter oft' than the hytk>critet the liar and the knave.--Dr. Bodine. What a bless­ ing it is that Mr. Ingersoil and his fol­ lowers could avoid the consequences of their own doctrine by living in an age of Christianity and enjoyiug that marvelous civilization of which Christianity has been the mother teacher.--Dr. Cadman.

The followers of his and similar doctrines are warming them­ selves to-night over the dying embers of Tftm Paine and still harping about the "mistakes of Moses."--Dr. DeCosta.

Acting Chief Quartermaster Palmer of Chicago received instructions from the War Department officials at Washington over the long-distauce telephone Saturday to buy 3,000 horses at once for the use of the cavalry troops in the Philippines. The animals required must weigh between fiOO and 1,000 pounds and be perfectly sound in every respect and under 7 years old. The horses will be specially selected, as none but the best animals are able to withstand service in tropical climates during the rainy season. Maj. J. B.

Secretary Long Friday issued orders detaching the cruiser New Orleans from the North Atlautic squadron at Newport and directing her to proceed at once to Santo Domingo city. Orders were issued also to the Macbais at St. Thomas, to proceed to the same point via San Juan. These orders were made at the instance of the State Department and as a pre­ cautionary measure owing to the disturb­ ed conditions following the assassination of President Heureaux of San Domingo. The trouble between the Government of San Domingo and its creditors has reached an acute stage. The creditors, who are almost entirely Americans, have begun to clamor for an American protec­ torate, which would necessarily be the first step in the direction of annexation. Political plots are already shaping them­ selves. The adherents of Gen. Jiminez seek to put him at the head of affairs, while the friends of Gen. Maximo (Jo- mez are talking of making him the ruler of the republic. It is said by officers who have recently been in Snn Domingo that interference by this Government would be welcomed by a lnrge proportion of the inhabitants of the island. HERE'S AN ARMY HOBO.

AERONAUT'S DROP TO DEATH. One Killed at Rtreator and Another Drowns at Hillsdale. Aeronaut Thayer of Niles, Mich., while making a parachute trip at Streator, 111., fell 200 feet and was instantly killed. The balloon ascension was one of the spe­ cial features of the annual picnic of the Modern Woodmen. The balloon rose rap­ idly and moved to the southeast about half a mile before Thayer cut loose. When he did so the balloon was already settling, and before he could get out of the way the great bag turned over and struck the parachute, overturning it, ^and all descended together. When Thayer's body was found both arms, both legs and his spine were broken. Prof. Bert Kimball, who made a bal­ loon ascension at the Knights of Pythias picnic at Bawbeese Park at Hillsdale, Mich., dropped into Bawbeese lake and drowned before assistance could reach him. His home was at North Adams, Mich. HAD AWFUL PUNISHMENT. Indnstrial School in New Jersey to Be Investigated. Gov. Voorhees will investigate the girls' industrial school uear Trenton, N.

After this she was locked in a room with the windows nailed down for two days. Then she was removed to the hospital. The girl may die. GOLD CLAIMS GOBBLED UP. Government <'{facials Charged with Forming a Clique. It is learned that the miners of Camer­ on and Anvil City in the Yukon district charge that a clique has been formed to gobble up all the good claims in the coun­ try and are disposed to lay the blame at the door of United States Commissioner Shepherd. A recent meeting of 1,000 miners was dispersed by soldiers. It is charged that the ring has employed Lap­ landers to stake claims. A protest will be' sent to Washington. YAQUI INDIANS UNDER ARMS. Tribe of Mexican Savages Declare War oa the Settlers. The uneasiness which has been mani­ fest among the Yaqui Indians in Mex­ ico for several months has finally reach­ ed a climax in a declaration of war issued by Teresea Urea, who for many years haa been the priestess and oracle of the tribe. During the past two months the Indians have been leaving the various mines where they were employed and arming themselves for the impending campaign, and last Monday they attacked and killed the envoy sent to treat with them by Gen. Toralles. Admiral Dewey, through former Secre­ tary Herbert, has filed suit in the District Court at Washington to feecovcr prize money due him and the officers and crew under his commaiid for the vessels cap­ tured in the battle of Manila and the property subsequently recovered by the naval force of the Asiatic squadron. Upon the ships and equipments which have al­ ready been appraised by the board of sur­ vey appointed by the Secretary of the Nary the admiral demands the sum of $320,141, and in addition the amount due upon three cruisers sunk in the engage­ ment, but subsequently raised, upon which he places a value of $4-5,000. The title of the case is "George Dewey, Ad­ miral of the United States Navy, on be­ half of himself and the officers and crew of the United States naval force on the Asiatic station taking part in the battle of Manila Bay, vs. The Don Juan de Austria nnd other vessels and miscella­ neous stores and supplies captured by the fleet under his command." The bill re­ cites that' Admiral Dewey and the officers and crews are entitled to the prize money as provided by law. The number of men aboard the Americati vessels during the engagement is given as 1,836, and while Admiral Dewey declares he is unable to give the exact number of men engaged j on the Spanish side he says it was far in ! excess of those under his own command, and the enemy's forces were superior. All of the property. recovered as a result of the battle is now in the possession of the United States except such as has been consumed. The latest adviceR from consuls and consular agents of the State Department represent the crop conditions in southern Russia to be even worse than heretofore depicted in unofficial reports. The misery of the inhabitants of the famine-stricken provinces is described as appalling. "It would seem," writes Consul Heenan from Odessa, "that European Russia might as well be dismissed as a factor in success­ ful agriculture. The climatic conditions throughout the area are of so uncertain a character as to be a source of anxiety and loss to the farming population." From central and eastern Russia similar reports are made. Altogether the out­ look for wheat in that part of the world may be summed up as decidedly dismal. The United States certainly has nothing to fear, from Russia as a competitor in the wheat markets of the world this year. The State Department neither confirms nor denies reports crediting Chief Jus­ tice Chambers of Samoa with having re­ signed his position. There is little doubt that such action on his part would give general satisfaction, although it cannot be predicted with any certainty that he will voluntarily efface himself from the pay roll. The latest trouble in the Sa- moan Islands is due entirely to his ruling recognizing the kingly rights of Malietoa Tanu. The Washington Government has technically upheld the chief justice, and it may be that he is in the right, but it is none the less undeniably true that the Ainericaa representative has kept Eng­ land, Germany and the United States al­ most continually stirred up ever since he was introduced into the Sanioan problem. It has been determined that the War prize Reina Mercedes shall be retained on the Naval Register as a relic. The board of survey, which has examined that ship at the Norfolk navy yard, has reported in favor of doing as little work as possi­ ble with the idea the ship may be kept in its present condition with all the evi­ dences of the conflict off Santiago. The board refers to the holes made by the pro­ jectiles from Schley's fleet and suggests that no attempt be made to repair such damages. It is recommended that only $2,500 be expended on the ship, the main work to consist of installing a new boiler and pump, tightening the hull and repair­ ing the steaming gear. "This Government stands ready to send troops to the Porcupine region or any­ where else.where their services are need­ ed," said a member of the cabinet when asked the intention of the administration in this respect. "At present there is no immediate danger of an outbreak in that region, but we are closely watching de­ velopments." Notwithstanding this state­ ment there is no dauger at present of a conflict. The Government has within the last few days received information to the effect that Canadian police and miners are now on this valuable portion of American territory, and sorue fears are felt of a clash. Immigration Commissioner Powderly Friday granted a bearing to Attorney May, who represents the Croatian Na­ tional Society of Chicago, in behalf of the eighteen Croatian immigrants who were arrested at Ilathbun. Iowa. As Attorney May could not produce evidence enough to convince Commissioner Powderly that the immigrants should not be returned to their native land their deportation waa ordered.

I was lh a chem­ ist's shop when a coster girl entered with a large basket of violets'and set it on the floor. I bought a bunch aud then noticed the chemist's assistant pass a small glass phial to the girl, the contents of which she emptied into the basket. "Tricks of trade," Said the chemist, with a smile, while the mer­ chant gave him a look of sly humor from under her hat. "What was that 6he bought?" I asked. "A penn'orth of wood violet," he replied. "Those Freuch violets don't smell. They rest on moist moss in the basket, and the moist moss absorbs the perfume. That penn'orth will sell the basket." Then he told me that a "penn'orth" of musk perfume was used to improve the selling quality of pots of musk, and that lie had had a hawker similarly ask: "A penn'orth of white rose, Guv'nor." , As I went away I figured to my mind an old lady bending over that basket in response to the merchant's observation: "Fresh, ma'am? Just smell for yourself."-- London News. Hall's Catarrh (Sirs. Is a constitutional cure. Price 75 cents. Skins for Bit ding; Bih^ea.

I was apparently an invalid, was confined to my bed for ten weeks.
