ONE MILLION A WEEK. World's Fair Now Having a Great and Genuine Boom. Success has crowned the efforts to make the Columbian Exposition “popular.” The attendance has grown steadily and largely for the past ten days. The number of paid admissions his gone away ahead of the 100,003-a-day mark. It is estimated that the total attendance for tha current week will approximate very closely, if it does not exceed, one million. The public seems to have just awakened to a realization of the fact that the greatest wonder of the century is here at Chicago awaiting their attention, writes a correspondent Surely but somewhat slowly the people have been learning the meaning of the term, “World's Columbian Exposition.” Now they seem to have grasped Its import, and they are coining hither by the tens of thousands to gaze upon the vision of beauty. The bulk of the crowds that fill tho park are visitors to Chicago. They come from other cities and from towns and hamlets, from the shop and from the farm. They will come every day for a week, and when they return to their homos they will tell the story of this palace of delights and other hundreds of thousands will come in theii places, and so it will go on to the end ol the chapter.

TO ABOLISH WAR. in International Peace Conference Held in Chicago. The Arbitration and Peace Congress Legion, which met in session at the Art Palace, Chicago, is engaged in a noble work—the substitution of international arbitration for international warfare. The abject of the meeting was well expressed lathe speech of the presiding officer, Hon. Joslah Quincy, First Assistant Secretary of State. Mr. Quincy said: “Public opinion Is now a more distinct and concrete thing than It has ever been in the p: st. and governs the civilized world to a greater extent than ever before. It Is ibis public opinion that we are here to endeavor to effect, to shape toward the belief that in the present siage of the development of mankind wars between nations are barbarous and unnecessary. The people are now at last educ ated to think and to understand, and 10 grasp the fact that they have the power 10 rule themselves The modern growth of the press and the general and constant discussion of questions of public interest which it makes possible are developing the reasoning nowera of the people and giving to in elligent thougbt a force it lias never I core possessed. If we can increase by ever so little that body of intelligent thou ht which is now making itself felt against all International warfare, then »e can claim a practical result for this con.ress in th“ highest sense of the word ” Nearly every nation on the earth was ropresen od at tho conference.

MOB IN POSSESSION. Government Troops at Bombay Powerless to Keep Order. Government dispatches say that Bombay is in possession of a mob and that the troops are powerless Every mosque has been destroyed and many persons massacred. Europeans are panic-stricken. Troops are now protecting only the public bpildln :s. The governor has appealed for help, asking for instructions. Tho troubles began on Aug. 12, when a number of encounters took place between fanatical Hindoos and Moslems on the streets. The day was one of religious observance of both these religious and racs enemies and both were allowed to celebrate simultaneously. The Moslems raaao tho first attack and were routed by the Hindoos. Troops were hastily called from outlying posts and vete massed in the chief native centers. Guns were trained upon the principal streets, the inhabitants being ordered to stay wlthiu their dwellings At ilrst they obeyed, but soon tho fighting began again, when more troops wore called in, but they found it impossible to cope With the native factions.

This something consisted in udoptlng tho following repeal bill, which Senator Voorhees introduced in tho Senate: Be it enacted by the Rcnalo and House of Representatives in Congress assembled, that so much of the act approved July 14, ison, entitled "An act directing the purchase of silver bullion and issue of Treasury notes thereon and for other purposes," as directs the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in eaoh month at the market price thereof, not exceeding It for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and to issue iu payment for such purchases Treasury notes of the United States, be and the same is hereby repealed; and it is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and sliver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, such equality to oe secured through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the maintenance of the parity in valno of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market and in the payment of debts.

Outlook Much Brighter. Reports received by Comptroller Eckels from various parts of the country Indicate that a better feeling prevulls in hanking circles The number of failures the past week has boon small compared with the corresponding week In July, and the month of August has been comparatively free - from panic. More national banks failed In July than in any month In the history of this country, and the record for the current year has been most appalling. It is believed now that the worst Is over, though failures in various sections may still bo expected. It Is known that In New York and some other places several of the banks that are still treated as solventare technically Insolvent, Inasmuch as In souie Instances they have failed to pay cash on good checks or to honor In full the drafts of depositors, though still pretending to do business, but In view of tbe general stringency that still prevails Mr. Eckels Is not Inclined to close institutions that. If treated with some leniency, will weather the storm and shortly return to a rigid observance of all the technical requirements of the law. He believes that such a course will be better for the depositors and business communities where the banks are located. Nearly 150 cational banks have closed their doors during the summer, but more than half of them have already-reopened or else arranged for an early resumption of buslnesa Just twen-ty-two banks have actually reopened. In each Instance their capital was unimpaired, and in nearly every case the deposits haVe been returned in full to the bank upon reopening.

J., Saturday night

which cost bt« lives and caused great loss of property. Storms from the north and south seemed to meet over the place and resulted LI a deluge, a destructive shower of hall and death-dealing strokes of lightning. The rain lasted until after midnight and the people had no chance to see what damage had been 'don# until morning. They found then that the path of the storm had been half a mile wide. Just in the edgo of the path was what was supposed to be the strongest building in that part of the ttate, the wholesale grocery warehouse of Tunison & Losier. It was a three-story brick building. The roof had been cut off clean and was lying, a mast of wreckage, fifty feet away.

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT. Come from the Good Sense and Kemper* alive Power of the People. R G. Dun & Co.’a Weekly Review oi 1 rade says: There is a rift in the clouds. Faint and yet detiulto signs of Improvement aro all tho helttr because they come, not from possibly delusive hopes or from momentary foreign aid. but fiom the good seose and the wondeifui recuperative power of tho people themselves. Business is trylug to go ahead without waitng for Washington imported gold—*o,oou,ooo or more duiing the week-does not go to the right spot, bu the people are creating a home-made currency for themselves by using certified checks in paying hands, selling local accounts and put chasing grain and cotton. he batik circulation bus Increased $2,000.0110. but tlio decrease on depo its of national hanks alone Irom Mt.y 4 to duly 11 w.is $103,160,538, and during the last month withdrawals have also been heavy. Little money comes back as yet from timid hoards, and the paralysis of exch nine is nearly as complete as ever, but that very fact | ushes each section and City into relying more on Itself and lesson Government and Wall street. Many concerns are falling or closing, but resumptlms aro now bee* tiling somewhat frequent, and In the very shrinkage of production men seo evidence that demand must soon overtake supply. Wheat drags near the lowest iigtgesever known, in spite of decrease supply, for, though western reCelpfs are'hot large, stock on band is far beyond the power if speculators to carry with money inarkeutlti their presenheondttion. The movement of corn is decidedly large, with crop prospects improving.

CHOWDER CAUSES A SCRIMMAGE. I)eer Island Trimmers Object to It anil Resist the Uhl ice. The Deer Island Prison broke loose Friday, and pandemonium reigned for two hours Quiot was restored by a squad ol Boston bluecoats who clubbed them into submission. The casus belli was the fish chowder which was served for dinner that day. There are more than 1,000 prisoners on the Island. The dining-room will accommodate only 330. so It is necessary to divide the prisoners into four gangs Tho regulation Friday noon repast is fish chowder, and Friday's meal whs prepared accordingly. It was good chowder, too, but tho first two relays ate it all, and water with a fishy flavor was served to the third squad. The waiters, who aro themselves prisoners, gave these the tip as to ho.v the chowder had been doctored and then there was a howl. The prisoners throw the chowder upon the iloor and cursed the cook.

Glutted with Silver. A spociat dispatch to tho London Times from Calcutta says that the absence of (jemand for India Council bills is attributed there to the onormous importations of silver that were made during the protracted sittings of the Herschell Indian Currency Commission, 'these importations, during the year ending March last, amounted to 15 crores of rupees (150,000,000 rupees), against a normal yearly importation of 8 crores (80,000,000 rupeos). The dispatch adds that a great fall in exchange within the next few weeks is inevitable. Tho readjustment which must follow to bring the ratj to Is 4d. must be severe. —•*■ t" 1 Ti’ ■ ■ • Only Got One Dollar. At West Midway, Mass., two safes in the Midway Savings Bank were blown open witli dynamite by burglars. The explosion shook the whole town and people ran into the street in their night clothes giving tho alarm. Assistant Cashier Woodward pursued tho burglars and was shot at four times.
