JYom the Second Edition of (Tie Sunday Journal. Jack Defeats Falo Alto. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 2. One of tho grandest and most interesting trotting races of the American turf history took place this afternoon at the Detroit Driving Park between George H. Middleton's gray gelding Jack, and Senator Stanford's bay stallion Palo Alto. A pleasant day, warm, but favorable to racing, a bard, smooth track and no wind combined to make to-day a grand one for a speed contest. It was, really, a tritle warm for spectators, still nearly 4,500 people passed through the turnstiles, and it is safe to say that hardly ono of them failed to do some cheering. Not only were tho social and mercantile leaders of the city there, but other portions of the State contributed to the attendance. The original date was July 26, but it was afterward changed to Aug. 2. To-day's Cleveland boat brought over scores of norsenien bent on seeingthe struggle. Nor was there any disappointment as far as the racing was concerned, lor Jack won honestly and Palo Alto added laurels to his crown by equaling Maud S in & race, by breaking both the stallion and track-trotting raco records. Jack is a grey gelding, seven years old, and sired by Pilot Medium, dam Carrie RusAell, by. Magna Cbarta. His mark of 2:15 be equaled to-day ,'and will no doubt lower in the skillful hands of his driver, Uudd Doble. . Palo Alto (2:124) is a bay stallion eight years old. a son of the famous Electioneer, dam Damo Winnie, by Planet, by Revenue, lie is driven-by Charles Marvin, manager of Senator Stanford's farm and horses. Jack's appearance on the track was the signal for applause as he jogged along without a boot or weight on any foot. A little later came Pala Alto, attired like a warrior, with knee tendon, and quarter boots, and toe weights in front and shin boots behind. In the judges' stand wero the following officials of the race: D. J, Campau, starting judge; John H. Steiner, of Detroit, and W. J. Ijams, of Terre Haute. iudges; Gov. V. R.Merriam. of St. Paul, and De 11. Robinson. of Cleveland.timers. Tbo betting before the first heat was lively, with Palo Alto as a favorite. In the auctions Palo Alto commanded 8 100 against $60 on Jack. Hickok and Doble flipped a coin for position and Hickok won, giving Palo Alto tbe pole. It was a trifle after 2:45 o'clock when the hor4s scored the first time. They tried it agLin; but Palo Alto was too far ahead and they were called back. On the 'third attempt the word was given and they- got away with the stallion half a length ahead. On tho turn Palo Alto led by a length, but just as he neared tho qnarterpole he left his feet and. although he set tied quickly. Jack went by the quarter a length ahead. Jack held tho pole on the back-stretch, and nearly two lengths separated the two at the half. Palo Alto showed great speed around the turn, and they were on even terms at the threequarters. When they entered the stretch everybody arose to seo Tho grand finish, but Palo Alto again broke, this time- very badly, and the grey gelding took a big lead, finishing an easy winner, as Marvin laid Palo Alto up. Tho time was 2:1512. Mutu-

als paid $9.70. The book odds before the second heat were $3 to $3 against Palo Alto, and even money on Jack. It was soon changed, however, and nothing-was given against Palo Alto, while but 53 to $5 was laid on Jack. In the auctions Jack brought-$100 to Palo Alto SGI. The betting was brisk. They scored twice, and tho start was as good as it could be. Palo Alto went around the turn alongside Jack, and not until the quarter did they change their team-like appearance, Palo Alto leading by a nose. Jack broke on tho back-stretch and Palo Alto took a long lead. Jack bettered his position a tritle at the half, bnt on the turn three open lengths divided them. It was the same at the third quarter and into the stretch. Jack made a great finish, but Palo Alto was going just about as fast, and won by two lengths in 2:I8t. This time the venerable Marvin came in for applause, and well he deserved it, for Palo Alto. had beaten the record of tho track in a race, beaten the stallion record in a race, and equaled Maud S.'s fastest raco mile. ' Mutuals paid 8.40. Letting took another shift on the third heat, and Jack sold at but 31 to $100 for Palo Alto. No odds were laid against Palo Alto, but 7 to 5 was given against tbe gelding. Both of them shot out like bullets as they got the word on the first attempt, and Palo Alto broke on entering the turn and again on the lower end of it, Jack showing first at the quarter by six open lengths. On the back-stretch the stallion began closing up, and diminished Jack's lead to four lengths at the half. Palo Alto continued to move up on the lower turn, and lapped Jack on the third quarter. They entered the stretch nearly together; Jack , having what advantago there was. It was a great race bozne, but Palo Alto could not keep up with Jack, the gelding winning in 2:151 by three-quarters of a length, with Palo Alto's nose on his Hank. 'Mutuals paid 512.80. Palo Alto was tho favorite in the .fourth heat, notwithstanding the fact that the gelding had the better of it. With the son of electioneer selling at 8100. the pride of Michigan brought but gG4 to 72, and in the books even money was laid against Jack, while 3 to 5 was o tie red against Palo Alto. Jack had a length the better of it on the start, but Palo Alto was soon. beside him, and they were yoked on the turn. Just as they were about to fly by the quarter Palo Alto broke and came to almost a standstill. Jack gaining two lengths. It was a horse-race on the back stretch, Palo Alto gaining half a length on Jack and again breaking. This gave tbe gelding another Good lead, but Palo Alto chased him so fast around the lower turn that the gelding broke. Jack recovered in an instant, and had two good lengths at the three-quarters. Palo Alto was drawing nearer all the while, and they trotted down the stretch at a lightning gait, but the gelding had too much of a lead, and the bay stallion was beaten a length. The time was 2:16, and the mutuals I .aid 11:90. Doble was roundly cheered for anding Jack a winner.

True, the weather was a little threatening, bnt that would hardly deter racingenthusiasts from grasping an opportunity to witues a contest between Firenzi and Tenny. The third race wa.s tho event of the day. Firenzi was first away, with Tenny last. Murphy at onco took a pull on Firenzi, and Chesapeake started out to act as peacemaker. At the quarter he was leading by two lengths, with So-So second, a leugth in front of Firenzi, who was a neck before Tenny. At tho half Chesapeake had increased his lead to three lengths, while Tenny had commenced to move up and was a neck in front cf Firenzi, with So-So a head away. From that point it wus a veritable walk for IVuny. At the threequarters hw was leading by a length aud a half and running easily, while Firenzi was third and petting the whip at every Jump. She could not gain an inch on Tenny, notwithstanding Murphy's vigorous riding, and without ever having been

touched by whip or spur Pulsifer's swayback won in tho easiest possiblo manner by three lengths. In the very last strides Firenzi got up and beat Chesapeake for the place, while So-So was last by fifteen lengths easy. Tho time, 1:4334, was very slow, but it must be remembered that the track was quite dead and nothing could ever get near enough to Tenny to make him eallop.

Special to tie Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 2. One of the best fields for a successful fight in the interest of protection to an important home industry, and one which will, to some extent, bo occupied when it is reached in the discussion of the tariff bill by the Senate, is in the proposed reduction of about 45 per cent, of the present duty on cotton baprtring. For some unaccountable reason the House reduced the duty on cotton bagging about 25 per cent, and the Senate reduced the figures fixed by the House almost as much, making the reduction of the present duty nearly one -half. Cotton bagging is made of domestic llax, and tbe consumption of ilax-straw by bagging manufacturers has made tho production of llax profitable in the United States. Wherever there are no flax or tow-mills established, llax-raising is not profitable, and is not indulged in to any considerable extent, as llax is very exhausting to the soil. Indiana probably has greater llax interests than any other State in the Union, there being sixty or seventy towmills and the largest bagging-mill in the United States, located at Mnncie. Minneapolis, the Dakotas and sections of Iowa are also largely interested in the production of flax, bnt there have been few tow-nills established, and unless they are established the production ot flax will almost cease when the rank qualities of the soil have been extracted. Representatives of ilax-producing interests now in Washington are unable to understand, since the raw material for cotton bagging is produced in the States most needing agricultural protection, and all the manufactured article is consumed in the Bourbon and unreconstructed States of the South, what political sagacity suggested the heavy cut in the duty on cotton bagging. There has been a great howl against an imaginary cotton-bagging trust, and cotton interests have had representatives hero demanding a heavy decrease of duty upon cotton bagging, while the flax and bagging interests appear to have had no representatives in Washington. Leaves of Absence Revoked. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 2. All leaves of absence, except in the case of extreme illness, were revoked to-day by resolution of the House. s This unusual action became absolutely necessary when on one vote it was found that no less than 140 members were paired. For the last few days it has been almost impossible to hold a quorum in the House more than five minutes at a time, and calls of tho House have been almost as frequent as tbe yea and nay vote. Mr. Reed is determined that next week shall be a business ono and with the telegrams sent out to-day, notifying members that their leaves had been recalled, went urgent requests to return on Monday morning. It is intended that during next week the Chalmers-Morgan and the Lang?ton-Venable contested election cases and the unseating of Breckinridge of Arkansas shall be disposed of, together with the Wilson package bill and the bills to Jje introduced by the committee on agriculture. Tbe Langston-Venable case, which in

volves the seating of a negro. Professor Langston, will produce probably some very violent debates. Mr. O'Ferrall, who is one of the leading Democrats of Virginia, has charge of Mr. Venable's defense, and when the case is taken up it is understood that he will ask for a postponement in order that ho may attend some political conventions in Virginia, but Chairman Rowell will decline to give him the courtesy on the ground that Mr. O'Ferrall absented himself on three or four occasions from meetings of the committee on elections for the purpose of breaking np a quorum and defeating the adoption of a report in the Arkansas case. It is probable that this action may lead to some sharp repartee and personal allusion. The Republicans on the committee on elections have in store somo very strong statesmanship which they will make when the Breckinridge case comes up. It istheir intention to deal with ungloved hands with the past election policy in certain sections oftheSonth. ; Boss Gorman's Orders. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 2. Democrats in the House have succeeded in frittering away the entire week on the sundry civil bill. It had been hoped that tbe sundry civil bill would be disposed of early on Monday afternoon, bnt to the disgust of Mr. Reed and tho Republicans the Democrats have succeeded in holding the House on this bill during the entire week under the plea that the bill required "careful deliberation." The speciousness of this plea was plainly shown when, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, on Mr. Cannon's consenting to an adjournment, provided the bill was first passed, they suddenly dropped all their opposition. The five remaining amendments were rushed through on ono vote, and the bill thus was sent to conference without even a division of the House. Hitherto every amendment has taken np nearly two hours by roll-calls and -calls of the House. This sudden change in tactics is due to tho fact that early in the week Senator Gorman, who has been chosen to lead the Democrats in both the House and the Senate, gave positive orders to the Democrats iu the House that the "sundry civil bill must not be returned to the Senate before the end of the week." Some of tho Noi them Democrats demurred, on the grounds that so obvious waste of time would react most! unfavorably upon the party in the North. Rut Mr. Gorman was inflexible and cut olf all opposition by the simple statement that if he was to lead the Democrats they must make up their minds to obey implicitly. They did so and wasted a week on the sundry civil appropriation bill. Bitter Religious War In Pennsylvania, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Altoona, Pa. Aug. S. A serious religious war is in progress iu Clearfield county. In the the county there are several camps of the Patriotio Order of the Sons of America, with a number of societies of British and Scotch Americans. Both organizations bitterly oppose foreigners generally aud Catholics in particular. Through the influence of these organizations at tbo polh a Citizen's ticket, exclusively Protestant, was recently elected at lloutzdale. This defeat and the fact that Hiaxon. editor of the Observer, a leader of the Protestant combine, has been pouring the hottest of hot shot through the columns of his paper into the ranks of the Democrats and Catholics, has caused intense excitement. It is openly asserted tht tbe Catholics threatened Hiaxou's life, and that a movement to execute the threat was organized. Hiaxon armed himself, and when, a few nights later, he was surrounded in a dark place by his adversaries, he drew his revolver and defied tho crowd. Hiaxon recognized his assailants, and had them arrested and put under bonds for court, charged with attempt to waylay and murder. Subsequently Matt Savage, excouuty superintendent of publio schools, and a leader on the Catholic side, was ordered from the horse race-track at Houtzdale, where he was interfering with tho progress of tho races. He refused to go. and for a time there was a vigorous riot iu progress. Savage and his Catholic adherents were arrested and held for court. The whole country is in turmoil, and the citizens, men and women, are identifying themselves with one side or nuother. Mo neutral ground is recognized. Counsel

have as yet refused to aid either

side in the pending court proceedings. It now looks as if the presence of the military would be necessary in Clearfield when the cases are tried in court to protect the citizens aud have bloodshed averted. A few days ago a funeral was held in the Catholic. Church. A Protestant relative of the deceased, when le&vincr the church, placed his hat upon his head while yet in the vestibule. The of ficiating priest knocked the hat oil with an umbrella, remarking "He would teach him how to behave in the holy church." Speech by Mr. Chamberlain. Birmingham, Aug. 2. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech here to-night, said the government had made a tactical mistake inintroducing the licensing bill during a session that was crowded with business. The intentions of tbe government, however, were good, and their proposals were reasonable and beneficent and ought to have commanded tbe support of every temperance man. The proposals had, in fact, secured the support of the moderate friends of temperance, but the government had been balked by the unexpected hostilities of the temperance fanatics, who were represented by the leaders of the United Kingdom Alliance, and, above all, by the unexpected development of a party spirit that sought every occasion to damage the government in power. He could respect the sincerity of some of the opponents of the measure, but he could not say the same for their Gladstonian and Parnellite allies, because it was well known that the Parnellites were opposed to anything in the nature of even moderate temperance reform, while a majority of the Gladstonians were pledged to the hilt in favor of the compensation of publicans. The government erred in not foreseeing these contingencies, but the temperanco people had made a greater mistake in rejecting an opportunity which might not occur again for many years. Mr. Chamberlain saw nothing to discourage the Unionists. The government, he 6aid. had conducted its administrative work with singular good fortune and success, and had raised England's influence higher than it had been for many years. Even the Opposition did not dare to im? Fugn the foreign policy of the Ministry, le ridiculed Mr. Gladstone for raising a "No popery" cry regarding the mission of General Simmons, and claimed that Lord Salisbury, in sending a regular mission to the Vatican in tho interests of his Catholic fellow-subjects, had acted in a more honorable and straightforward way than if he had employed an amateur like Mr. Errington, who might be rewarded with a baronetcy or be disfavored later if party exigencies should require such actiou. In conclusion he prophesied that the next session the taxes would be fqrther reduced and free education would be made universal. Sugar Compromise, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 2.It is suggested by a number of Republican senatorial friends of Mr. Blaine's reciprocity plan that it would be a fair compromiso as between the McKinley proposition to put sugar upon the free list and Mr. Blaiue's idea of retaining the sugar duty so as to give us something to trade on with the countries to the south of us. to reduce the sugar duty 50 per cent., aud adopt a joint resolution requesting tho President to open negotiations for reciprocal commercial relations with tho South and Central American states and the island countries south of us. They say that it would be a preservation of the prime element of reciprocal trade, and at tho same time give the masses of consumers a liberal reduction in the price of sugar. In other words, it would retain within the power of the United States a sufficient amount of trading qualities to enable ns to open commercial relations with the sugarproducing countries and satisfy tho demands for free sugar. lour correspondent has talked with some of the most active Republicans in the House npon this suggestion, and it seems to meet with considerable favor. It is not at all improbable that such a compromise may be effected and the tariff bill in most of its essential features become a law within a month, and thus make a victory for tho McKinley and the Blaine advocates. This kind of a compromise would aUo be satisfactory to the gentlemen who are now engaged in developing the beet-sugar industry in this country. Fancral of Mrs. Voorb.ee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Aug. 2. At 10:30 o'clock this morning the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Eva May Voorhees. wife of Mr. James P. oorhees, were held at St. Paul's Church, corner of Fifteenth and V streets. Rev. Father Metcalf officiating. Tho cortege left the late residence of the deceased, No. 1031 Wallack Place, at 10 o'clock. The flower-covered coffin was carried by Air. James Baby and Mr. Francis Baby, brothers of the deceased, and Mr. Sawyer Hardesty, Mr. William Hardesty, Mr. John Paul Jones and Col. William A. McLean, ex-Deputy Commissioner of Pensions. Mrs. William L. Baby, the mother of Mrs. Voorhees. arrived in the city from Detroit on Friday, and, with the stricken husband and Senator Voorhees and Miss Hallie Voorhees, formed the group of chief mourners. The remains wero laid in a vault in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Mrs. Voorhees was a devout Catholio in her life, and bore the extreme sufferings of a five weeks' illness, catarrh of the stomach, .slowly starving her to death, with great patience. She was descended from an old French family, and was born in Moretown, on the St. Clair river, in Ontario, Canada, in 1SG2. Sir Francis Baby, who was a member of the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa, was her grandfather, and on her mother's side of the house ahe was related to Sir Joseph MacDonald, Premier of Canada. Mrs. Voorhees was married from her father's house, in Detroit, in October, 1880. She leaves one child, a boy of nine years. Horrors of a Turkish Prison. London, Aug. 2. A special correspondent of the News has succeeded in obtaining admission to the Turkish prison at Uskub, Macedonia, a town, of European Turkey. He found that the building contained 149 cells, which were occupied Dy 1,811 prisoners, or over twelve to a cell. As a rule, the unfortunate victims are sent there to bo confined from one to ten years each; but so great are their sufferings, arising from tho barbarity of their keepers and the total disregard by the latter of all sanitary laws, that one rarely outlives five years. In one cell, two and a halt yards square, the correspondent discovered near a score of wretches panting for air and starving for food, having in the way of the latter nothing but bread and water. The greater number were stark naked, and chained by tho ankles and wrists. As if the jailors were unable to inflict tortures enough in the dens already described, the correspondent found a series of underground cells, said to be reserved for the worst prisoners, where, in total darkness, were those whom Turkish tyranny had singled out for a special barbarity. In order to force confessions where confessions would have proved useful to those in power, the aid of the ant is called in. These insects are kept in small boxes for the purpose, and fifty of them are placed at ono time on the naked body of the prisoner whom it is desired to torture. It is also customary to chain men all day in the sun in such a way that they are unable to move. Central American "War. City of Mexico, Aug. 2. Special dispatches received here from Guatemala state that there is no revolution there, and that President Barrillas is firm in the belief . that the difficulty with San Salvador is soon to bo settled satisfactorily to Guatemalan interests. Salvndorians here claim to have news to the effect that the Rivas rising is of littlo importance, and has already been subdued, but telegraphic communication with San Salvador is interrupted, and little fuith is placed in the report. President Diaz reiterates his denial of the reports that he would inteifere in the Guatemala-can baivadonan dithculty. Senor Geronimo Pan, the San Salvadorian representative here, received a telegram today confirming the report that General Rivas, the leader of the insurrectionists, had been captured and shot, and that quiet had been restored in San Salvador. The dispatch also announces that the San Salvadorian troops had returned to the capital to oppose General Rivas, and were preparing to march againta the Guatemalans. i -A Stone-Tnrowing Ghost, epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. MrxciE, Ind., Aug. 2. To-day word reached the city of the operations of a supposed "ghost," two miles northeast of the Smell farm, where Frederick Besser, a young farmer, now resides. The 'ghost' is invisible, but very o H en si ve in his visits, which aro brief but dangerous. His first appearance was a few days since, in the afternoon, while a dozen threshers were at

work near the house. The women came screaming to the men, saying the house had been furiously stoned by unseen parties.An investigation ' revealed that the stones had como from all directions, the windows being badly broken. A search failed to find any one in the hiding. The following night stones were again thrown against the dwelling. A search failed to discover anyone. When tho rock-throwing visitor came the third time Mr. Besser, with two friends, Charles Bisel and Wm. Hiberts. was in waiting, but as the stones began falling thick and fast the men fled, and now assert that the stone-throwing was not done by human hands. A large posse of men and boys laid in hiding near the house last night, but. the . stone-throwing was not repeated. which is doubtless due to the fact that the men removed all stones lying near the house. Excitement runs high in this vicinity, with hundreds ready to join the watch party to-night, many being from Muncie. Ono of the stones thrown weighed nearly eight pounds. Penniless and Friendless.. New York, Aug. 2. The death notice of Spencer F. Pritchard, author and actor, Aug. 1, is published to-day. There are a great many pathetic circumstances surrounding the death of Spencer F. Pritchard. Pritchard comes of an old theatrical family of that name. He was born in Philadelphia, in 1847. and was a student at tho University of Pennsylvania. He studied niodicine, but never took his degree as M. D. He engaged in mercantile business in Boston years ago, and married in that city a sister of Lawrenco Barrett, tho actor. Two children, the fruit of their marriage, are in England to-day. Pntchard's first wife died some years ago, and in 18S3 he married Marti Crocker, at Chicago. She was a soubrette. and died about two years ago, leaving an infant boy to her husband's care. He was the author of a number of plays which never became prominent. His only sister, a Mrs. Williams, is the wife of a down-town broker, and lives in elegant style at the Grenoble apartment-house. One of his friends, in fact tho only friend he had in the vast metropolis, the one who gave him shelter and ministered to his wants during his last hours, remarked to a reporter this morning: "Poor Spencer. Starvation and pride caused his death." This friend was William J. Mornssey, at whose house Pritchard passed away. "1 met Spencer in a Third-avenue saloon a week aeo last Wednesday," said Mr. Morrissey. "He was very sick, and I brought him to my house. He was suffering fearfully, and I notified thotVctors' Fund. They

I sent Dr. Baran around and he prescribed I for the poor fellow; but he grew rapidly worse, and died yesterday morniug. Poor Pritchard told me he had not eaten a good square meal in four months. Ho was too proud to aek for assistance, and if you wanted to do him a favor and he thought it was prompted by charity, he'd refuse with scorn. He has played in tough luck for the past two vears. He had started out to fulfill a number of dilferent engagements with small companies, but they would invariably go to pieces on the road, and he would soon oe back loafing in New York. Any yet he was the last man 3rou would ever pick up as really suflering for the necessities of life. He was always dressed very nicely, and looked the prosperous professional. But he time and time again had not money enough for a decent meal or the price even of a night's lodging. He told mo. when I met him ten days ago, that he had been sleeping in chairs for several nights. The doctors said Spencer was suffering from kidney and liver troubles, and he was affected: with dropsy, too. It was not a case of drink causing his death. In all the years that I know him, I never saw Pritchard drunk. He used to take a glass now and then, but that was all." Tho Actors Fund will have the body buried in their plot in Evergreen. Letters from Cleveland and Brice. Columbus, O., Aug. 2. A meeting under the auspices of the Tburnian Club to protest against ' the passage of the federal elections bill was held at the east front of the Capitol this evening. There were about fifteen hundred present. It was ex pectd that Judgo Thurmau would presidl and make a brief speech, but when the committee called to escort him to the meeting he presented thorn with a letter to be read, , which contained his regrets. The following letters wero read: Marion, Mass., July 13. Lincoln Fritter, Chairman: Pear Sir Your letter Inviting me to attend a mass-meeting to be held In Columbus, for the purpose of publicly protesting against the passage of the federal elections law, now pending in Congress, has been forwarded to me hero. I have made positive engagements which will prevent xny acceptance of your invitation. I desire, however, to be entered as one of the protestants. I wish the indications were not so numerous that we have reached a stape of congressional recklessness In which the protests of the people have little weight Yours truly, Groveji Cleveland. Lima, O., July 14, 1890. Lincoln fritter: Dear Sir I have tho honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of tho 10th inst, inviting me to be present at a mass-meeting of citizens to be held at the east front of the Capitol Saturday, evening, Aug. 2, under the auspices of the Thurman Cmb, for the purpose of protesting against the passage of the federal election law, now pendii gin tho United States Senate. While I regret that I cannot be present, I heartily approve tho object of the meeting, and beg to assure you and your associates that I share your indignation, and regard the proposed law as repugnai t to Democratic ideas and full of danger to the republic. Iam, very truly, Calvix S. Brice. Resolutions protesting against the bill were passed. -. A Chapter of Accidents. Mary,Eruner, a German widow, fiftythree yfars of age, who has for twelve years been the housekeeper of her kinsman, John Beltz. living at No. 187 .West N ew York street, was burned last night about the head and body. She whs going down the cellar-way carrying a kerosene lamp, when she stumbled and fell, breaking the lamp and spilling the oil. Her clothing caught fire, and in her fright the woman jumped up and ran up the steps and out into the yard. A colored woman, Mrs. Young, living next door, hastened to her aid and succeeded in tearing off most of the burning clothing. Dr. Denson was summoned and found his patient beyond recovery. Tho burning oil set fire to the house, and an alarm was sent in from box 43. but the blaze was extinguished with.trifiing loss. Edward Stuckemeyer, brother of the exCouncilman, was thrown from one of Bird's express wagons last night, on Washington street, and hurt about the head. lie was sitting on a trunk when the wagon wheels struck tho street-railway track and threw him to the street. The city ambulance was called and carried him to tho hospital. Edward E. Cones, a painter, fell thirtyfive feet from a scaffold on which he was working, at the corner of Meridian and Eleventh streets, yesterday, and struck on his head.

London, Aug. 2. Tho agitation over the Behring sea dispute has subsided. Great Britain, having declared her attitude, is apparently not anxious to say any moro about the matter. The Times asserts that 'Behring sea, outside of the three-mile limit, is just as free to all the world as tho English channel or the Mediterranean; nor can any attempt to restrict that freedom he described otherwise than as an usurpation of well established rights." o far as war and rumors of war, nothing more is heard intimated, but the British squadron, recently gathered at Esquimault, will remain in the north Pacific prepared for such action as the American cruisers may give occasion for. It is certain that the Canadian sealers will be protected as long as they keep three miles away from American and Russian territory. "We have no quarrel with the United States," said Lord Stanley of Alderry, at a dinner last Thursday evening, "but firitish subjects must and will be protected the world over in the exercise of their lawful rights." A prominent city mercbaut iu the fur trade said, on tho same occasion, that it was an attempt of a company holding an American monopoly to use the American government for tbo purpose of compelling her Majesty's subjects to submit to that monopoly.

Tho government authorities and the Iowa Indians have been engaged in controversy at Fort Sill for some time. It has grown out of an eft'ort on the part of the Indian agent to prevent tho annual sun dance of that tribe. His reason was that it demoralized the Indians and made them hard to control. This seems to be exactly what they want, and they insisted. They sent to Goodnight's ranch, in the Texas panhandle.for a buffalo, and their slogan was "on with the dance.'' The agent was relentless and determined to stop at all hazards the dance, but the Indians declared that they would dance or tight. In order to enforce tho order and prevent trouble, two companies of soldiers were sent to the reservation and everything is nuiet at present, though the Indians are sullen and say they will still dance. - .
