The Spanish garrison at Melilla, on the northern coast of Morocco, Is besieged by thousands of natives and the situation is critical. The I'panlsh authorities recently decided to add to the strength of their fortifications at Mellila, the state of the country, and the acts of the natives, in their opinion, warranting such a course. The work of constructing additional fortifications was begun and pushed forward as rapidly as possible This incensed the Moors, and a force of more than 6,030 natives made an attack upon the Spanish garrison, that numbered all told not more than four hundred souls.

Is This Our Famed Swimmer? A spice of international interest has been Injected into the situation of affairs In Brazil through two incidents tliat may lead to some complications. The first of these is based on the action of merchant vessels flying the stars and stripes In furnishing provisions to the rebel fleet which threatened Rio Janiero. The other Is best explained by the following cable message from Captain Picking, commanding tbo United States cruiser Charleston at Rio, received by tho Secretary of the navy and the answer sent by Mr. Herbert: “Boynton, a United States citizen, commanding a tug illegally floating British flag, arrested by BrllLsh man-of-war and delivered to me. Had torpedo on board, presumably to attack Insurgent ship. Shall 1 send him home?” Secretary Herbert replied: -Hold Boynton until further orders. suggestion is made that the -Bvynton” mentioned in these dispatches is very probably Paul ISoyton, the diving suit man. who has’be-n mixed up in simitar affairs before.

Uncle Sam Compels Reparation.

Prompt action on the part of the United States government has compelled the Turkish authorities to adopt radical measures to avenge the outrage perpetrated upon Miss Anna Melton, an American missionary of tho Presbyterian board in Mosul, who was attacked on tho night of June 14 lust while stopping in a little village in the Kordish mountains. Dear Arnadla Tho latest phase of the matter shows that the Grand Vizier in Constantinople has ordered the removal of the Governor of Mossul because that official did not act with sufficient promptitude in bringing the offenders to justice after repeated demands by the Government of this country. Several Amadians are under arrest charged with the crime, but their trial, for some reason, has been post pined frohi time to time. Rev. Dr. Benjamin Labare, Recording Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, received news from Oroomiah, Persia, of the brutal murder of an American-Armenian Christian in that city at the hands of a mob of Mohammedans. -•o / ■ Strange Story of a Chicago Hoy.

He was taken to the Children's Home and the Chicago police notified.

Supplies Needed at Brunswick. At Brunswick, Ga.. thirty now cases of yellow fever were reported Friday. Three were discharged and one death took place. Surgeon Murray and Dr. M. Branham say that only malarial fever exists oh St Simon’s Island, and not yellow fever. There are about seventy-five cases of malarial fever in and about Brunswick, which are daily reported to the health board. Supplies are needed, as the state of affairs is fully as bad in Brunswick as reported. The situation is distressing. Charged with Arson.

Five negroes were hanged together on one scaffold at Mount Vernon, Ga. Three of them murdered Alexander Peterson, a rich merchant, last July; the fourth killed a 5-year-old child, and the fifth murdered a negro companion.

Big Antelope and 300 braves are now camped between Pine Ridge Agency and Wounded Knee, and the braves are beginning to Indulge in ghost-dancing. The friendly Indians at Pine Ridge are a good deal worried over the outlook, fearing serious trouble, but the agency people say there is no danger of an outbreak. Still, Big Antelopes band Is being closely watched. Fire Bugs Indicted. Fourteen men have been held by tbg Chicago Grand Jury to answer the charge at conspiracy. Two f thaes must also

RECOVERY" IS SLOAV. Business Advancement Is Not as Rapid as YYas Hoped. R. G. Dun & Ca’s Weekly Review of Trude says; A complete statement of failures for the quarter which closed on Friday is not possible, hut the number thus far reported Is about 4,000, and the aggregate of liabilities about $150,000,000, greatly surpassing the record of any previous quarter. For the week the failures have been 329 in the United btates, against 177 last year, and in Canada 34, against 31 last year. -Hope deferred,” explains the week In part, and It Is doubtless true that many Indulged In teasonable hopes, but business has not entirely answered expectations. Many works which have resumed operations do not find orders as large ur the demand from customers as vigorous as they anticipated, and with some it is a question whether they will not close again. While money on call has been abundant and cheap, and about $4,500,000 clearing-house certificates have been retired, there is perceptible greater caution in making commercial loans at New York and at some Western points. Confidence, proverbially of slow growth, has been somewhat diminished, in part because advancing exchange suggests the possibility of gold exports. MUTINY IN KANSAS PRISON. One of the Guards Badly Hurt—The Uprising Quickly Suppressed. A serious mutiny occurrod at the Leavenworth (Kaa) penitentiary the other day. Prisoners have been escaping frequently. In order to terrorize the convicts and recapture any that might get away two ferocious bloodhounds were quietly secured. This caused the convicts to plan a revolt.

At the same time a convict struck another guard down and the revolt became general In that part of the prison. An old guard, who did not lose his head, sounded a general alarm, bringing all the guards, and by a great effort the mutiny was quelled. Guard Femes was severely Injured.

Marched Through the Mud. Irish day at the fair was characterized by the worst possible weather. Rain fell nearly all day, and of course prevented thousands from turning out. But fully ten thousand sons of Erin were in the procession that splashed through the mud at Jtckson Park, and they were headed by Dublin's Lord Mayor and Chicago’s Chief Executive. They were watched by fully a hundred thousand people, and, altogether, what the celebration lacked in numbers was atoned for by enthusiasm. Lum Sam Toy YVcds Chu Fong. Two of New York Chinatown's most exclusive set were united in marriage Friday according to the rites prescribed by the laws and customs of tho celestial empire. The bride was Lum Sam Toy, the 18-year-old niece and adopte 1 daughter of Lee Cbonk, a tea Importer, vho is said to be the wealthiest Chinaman in New York.

UPROAR IN THE HOUSE

ANGRY WORDS AND SCURRILOUS OBSERVATIONS USED. Excitement Caused by a Sharp Exchange of Word* Between Congressmen Flthlan and Morse—Arrest of a Crank In the White House. the Ue Is Passed. Washington special: The lie was passed at the opening of the session of the Home this morning between Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Fithian, of Illinois, but no blows were struck and no blood will be spilled. The altercation was an outgrowth of Mr. Morse’s filibutt ring course. Mr. Morse, in a five-minute speech this morning, tried to justify his action, during the course of which he charged Mr. Fithian with being solely responsible for the refusal of the House to permit him to print in the Recoi d somo newspaper extracts attacking Commissioner Loehren. Mr. Fithian, rising to reply, said ina much as Mr. Morse had seen fit to criticise him ti at' he had desired to call the attention of the House to a rather dubious proposition made by Mr. Morse to him. He t aid Mr. Morse, when he iFithian) objected to his leave to print, came to him with honeyed words and informed him that he was a member of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds and intimated that he (Fithiani had a public building bill he (Morsel might be able to help him if the Illinois Congressman could see his way clear to withdraw his objection. “That is absolutely false!” shouted Mr. Morse, striding in a warlike manner toward Mr. Fithian. “If the gentleman from Massachusetts denies this statement, I have proof to adduce that will satisfy any member of the House. My colleague, Mr. Goldzier, heard tho conversation.” As Mr. Fithian said this, Mr. Morse backed against the rails and replied meekly; “What the gentleman says has the color of truth, but the construction he places on it is unqualifiedly false.” “If the gentleman denies my statement,” shouted Mr. Fithian, shaking his fist angrily at the Massachusetts Congressman, “he is wilfully lying himself. ” In a minute the House was in an uproar. The Speaker quelled the impending riot by pounding his desk vigorously with the gavel and declaring both gentlemen out of order. This closed the incident.

CRANK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

A Man Who Declared President Cleveland Wag Ilis Father. Police Officer Heller had a violent sruggle to-day with an insane man who in some mysterious manner got into the White House, and was looking for President Cleveland. The appearance of the officer probably saved the President from an assault. How the fellow got inside the building no one knows. "I want to see mv father,” he said. “Who is your father!- 1 ” the cook asked him. “Mr. Cleveland, of course,” was his resppnse. Just then Policeman Heller appeared upon tho scene and asked what was wanted. He saw at a glance that the man was not altogether right, and arrested him after a struggle. At the station tho crank gave the name of Joseph Washington, but refused to tell where he lived. No one at the station remembered of ever having seen him before. When asked what he wanted at the White House he replied: “I wanted that chair.” “What chair'.- 1 ” “The President’s chair.”, “Don’t you think *the President fills it satisfactorily?” “No, I don’t,” was the reply, “and I intend to get it by fair means or foul. Give me a pistol and I’ll show you who will get it quick.”

HEAVY WAR CLAIM SUBMITTED.

Uncle Sam Asked to Repay Money Because of Damages by Troops. Washington special: Private war claims are the order of the day here both in House and Senate. In addition to many private claims, Mr. McKaig has introduced bills providing for the payment of $200,000 to the city of Frederick, $30,000 to Hagerstown, and $1,500 to Middletown. All of these claims grew out of the raids of Gen. Jubal Early, who levied the above sums on the several towns after fiheir invasion. Mr. Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvania, has succeeded in having reported favorably by the War Claims Committee, of which he is Chairman, a bill for the payment of $3,447,845.94 to residents of Southern Pennsylvania for damages sustained because of the invasion of Confederate and the presence of Union forces during the late war.

SHOOTING ON ’CHANGE

CASSIUS BELDEN FIRES AMONG THE BROKERS. Deed of a Lunatic, Who Is Arrested—Wile Scene Ensues Traders Trample Over Bach Other Grand Trunk Wreck in Bellevue, Mich. Three People Wounded. A man, presumably crazy, created a panic on the Chicago Board of Trade thp other morning, completely clearing the trading floor and stopping all business by indulging in a wild fusillade of pistol-shots, aimed first at the ceiling and later at the excited, struggling throng of traders on the floor below him. It happened at about 11:45. Business at that time was progressing as usual. Suddenly the babel of cries from the pits was punctuated by the sharp crack of a pistol. Instantly every one turned toward the south gallery, from which the sound proceeded. A stranger was standing in the gallery with a pistol in his hand. After the first shot he turned his weapon toward the crowd and, in rapid succession, fired four times. One bullet struck Ammi T. Bennett in the neck, inflicting a painful and perhaps dangerous wound. Charles Roswell, a telegraph operator, was struck by another bullet. Mr. Bennett, who was wounded by a shot, was formerly President of the Board of Trade Insurance Exchange. Though there were from fifteen to twenty other visitors in the south gallery, no attempt was made by them to overpower the shooter or stop the deadly fusillade, and he was not interfered with until Tom Barrett, a broker, recovering from the panic which had overtaken the traders, rushed up stairs and grappled with the supposed maniac. A negro named Joe ran up and helped Mr. Barrett overpower the fellow. When the shooter was subjugated he was hustled into a side room, and for a few moments the wildest excitement prevailed about the building. It was said that two or three men had been killed and among the rumors tossed about was one that the angry brokers were preparing to storm the room whore the shooter was confined and lynch him. The police soon arrived on the scene, however, and took the man to the Harrison street station. The man who did the shooting gave the name of Cassius Belden, of 395 La Salle avenue. Chicago.

DEATH IN A RAILWAY WRECK.

Mr. and Mrs. 11. A. Newland, of Detroit, Killed at Bellevue, Mich. A terrible accident occurred on the Grand Trunk Railroad at Bellevue, Mich. The Erie express ran into the rear of a regular train, demolishing a special car containing Howard G. Meredith and wife, Henry A. Newland and wife (father and mother of Mrs. Meredith), William Costles, porter, and William Abernathy, cook. Mr. and Mrs. Newland were killed outright. Mr. and Mrs. Meredith were badly but not fatally injured. Costles was fatally hurt. Abernathy escaped unhurt. Jennison, fireman of the fast train, was badly scalded. The side of the depot was smashed in. As nearly as can be ascertained the accident happened in this way: The rugular westbound train, due at Belleuue at 1:30 a. m., was two hours late. As it lay at the depot the fast Lake Erie train, which does not stop at the station, came along at tremendous speed. This private car was at the rear of the regular train, and directly in front of it was a sleeper. The Lake Erie engine plowed clear through the rear car, leaving it in two sections on either side of the tra- k, and bunted against the sleeper. The private car was almost entirely demolished, while the Lake Erie engine was badly damaged. The occupants of the car were all residents of Detroit and they had left home for Chicago to visit the World’s Fair.

With a roar and rush the waters of the Michigamme River broke through the Mansfield mine, at Qrystal Falls, Mich., shortly after nine o’clock on Thursday night, drowning twentyeight of the employes at work directly under the stream. The eighteen men who escaped were employed in the lower levels. None of the bodies have been recovered, and it is believed it will be necessary to divert the channel of the river before they can ba secured. Following is a correct list of the dead: Sam Peters, majriod. James Strongman, married. W. H. Pierce, married. Swan Johnson. Mike Harrington. Frank Bocko. An Torbesani. Frank Johnson. Aim Johnson. JraEnmMo Zadra. Peter Turry. Nicolo Fontani. Charles Pohl, married. John Segura. Ore Carrson, married. Joe Kora, married. John Hormstrom. Kosc. Fortimato. John Kirshe. John Bandala. John Warner. Oscar Lundquist. Chris Arcangero. Auto Stefano. August Corogna. O. Const anti. Vigiris Zadra. Ceresti Negri.

The Mansfield mine is one of the Schlesinger group and is operated by Corrigan, Ives & Co. cf Cleveland. The mine reaches out under the river, but the earth between the workings and the stream was supposed to be of such thickness as to make the flooding of the mine impossible and no extra precautions had been taken against a disaster of this kind. The night shift of men went into the mine athhe usual time and wero deep in the pit when the break occurred. The men had no warning of the impending calamity. The main shaft of the mine extends under tho Michigamme river and the subsiding of the ground turned the stream into the mine, flooding it almost instantly.

The accident occurred at 9 o’clock at night. The mine filled with water in two hours, and those that escaped were in the shaft, and were literally blown out by the rushing water and air, which made it impossible for a rescuing party to leave the cage for rescue of others. Nearly all are Italians and Swedes. The situation was awful and the scenes around the cave-in were heart-rending. Weeping women aud crying children crowded up to the gaping pit to view the last resting place of husband and father. The spot has been visited by thousands of curious people, and the tragic event is the one topic of discussion in the Lake Superior country. No specific censure of the mining company is being manifested.

The generally accepted theory as to the cause of tho disaster is that the timbers on the fifth level gave way and allowed the levels above and at last the river to crash down upon the fated men. In the precess of mining all the levels save the sixth have been stopped out, leaving only timbers and pillars of ore above. John M. Longyear, of Marquette, one of the chief owners of the Mansfield mine property, said that the land had teen leased to Calhoun & Tenney of Chicago and that they had formed tho Mansfield Mining Company. Mr. Longyear's belief is that the disaster was caused by “robbing” the mine; that is, by working in a reckless manner and tearing down pillars of ore in tho upper levels that should have been left to tupport the roof.

There has been much trouble with water recently, and predictions have not been wanting that the river would some day break thsough the roof of the mine. The depression in the iron trade has closed practically all the mines in the Crystal Falls district, and the Mansfield was almost the only one from which any ore was being raised, the fine quality of its product enabling it to keep on working. The night shift had gone down, and though some one noticed that more water than usual was coming into the mine no special alarm was felt, as the pumps seemed to be able to keep the drifts free. So the work went on in its usual course until the roar of water made the first announcement of danger. So fast came the flood that it is doubtful if the men in the upper levels were able to reach the shaft at all.

Tony Buletto. the skip-tender at the fourth level, wa- standing near the shaft with Frank Rocco. a night boss, or foreman, when the first crash came. They knew what had happened and anticipated the iemit, but Rocco heroically refused to go up in the skip until he had warned his men of the danger imminent. He went back into the drift and perished with his comrades. Buletto came to the suriace in the skip, and is the only man who went to work on the fourth level that fatal night left to tell the story. Louis Ashlemin. under whose direct supervision the mining was done, said the roof of the fifth level had been shifty for several days, but nothing that miners consider indicative of imminent danger appeared. “To secure the thing, however.” he continued, “we placed new timbers in the level and it appeared to I e perfectly safe. I believe the cave started on the fifth level.”

IS REPEAL BEATEN?

APPARENTLY AUTHENTIC RUMORS SO DECLARE. Omlaoui Qaiet Reigns In the Senate—Details of the Alleged Program—Getting Ready to Tackle the TarlS—Vote Coming Soon. A Masterly Inactivity. Washington correspondence:

and many rumors are afloat as to what will be tne final outcome. One of these is that the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law is beaten, and this, according to the opinion of many, beyond a doubt. It is likely that a vote will be taken soon, within a week or so at least, but it will be on the passage of a compromise measure. Strong denials are advanced in some quarters that a compromise has been agreed on, but in the face of these it is generally understood that the most powerful influences are now arrayed in favor of compromise legislation. The program, as your correspondent sees it, contemplates the passage of a bill through the Senate. The concurrence of the House in that bill is to be had, and then a recess taken for the period of three weeks in order that tariff legislation may bs formulated. The Ways and. Means Committee has its bill much further under way than is publicly admitted. If a three weeks’ recess befgivehit is believed the House itself can be at work on the tariff bill early in December. On reassembling in November some other legislation, probably the bankruptev bill, is to be taken up until the tariff is ready. If the compromise financial measure be passed by common consent Federal elections will be permitted to lie over till the regular session.

Senate and House. In the Senate. Friday, Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented a petition signed, he said, by 144 manufacturers of Philadelphia, In favor of legislation to preserve the protective character of the tariff and the Integrity of silver as a money metaL The petition favors the admission of American silver bullion to coinage upon the payment by the owner of a seigniorage absorbing three-fourths of the difference between the London price of bullion and its value when coined. It was printed as a document. The repeal bill was then taken up, and Mr. Harris of Tennessee addressed the Senate. He favored the coin age of tho entire American product of silver, at any ratio to he agreed upon, saying that that of IB to 1 would be satisfactory. The debate on the Tucker bill being resumed In the House, Mr. Lacey of lowa took the floor In opposition to the repeal of election laws, and laid great stress on the arguments In favor of the constitutionality of these laws. Mr. De Armond of Missouri followed in support of the repeal. Saturday closed the eighth week of fruitless debate In the Senate, and as before, the repeal of the Sherman law was the subject of attention. But little other business, and that unimportant, came up The session of the House lasted only three hours. Mr. Sayer of Texas. Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, presented for immediate consideration a bill to extend the time for the completion of the work of the eleventh census until June 30, 1894. The bill was passed without objection. Debate on the bill to repeal the national election laws was then resumed. The feature of the debate was the speech of Representative Patterson of Tennessee. He admitted that violence and even fraud might have been used in the South, but asserted that the Anglo-Saxon race was in the nature of things certain to dominate eventually In a race contest He maintained that President Lincoln went to his grave never dreaming of universal negro suffrage; that not a soldier who followed the flag of the Union and fought its battles dreamed of it during the war or Immediately after. “The greatest calamity,” said he, “that ever happened to a free people was the assassination of Lincoln. Had he lived an(f been permitted to carry out his policy there would have been peace and prosperity in the South twenty-five years aga ”
