ESTHBRVILLE, W. ADAM8, P0BU8HXB MOBS STILL RULE. STRIKERS RUNNING THINGS IN CHICAGO. Jostled and Jeered, bat Their Bayonets Altgeld Demands of the President that He Withdraw the Federal Qniet at 81 City.a Most Tnrtnilent Day Yet. Chicago, July 5: The sun went down 'this evening on by far the most turbu- lejat and critical day in the unparalleled railroad strike.

Instead of fleeing in fear before the United Steles regulars, turbulent surged tbe soldiers, jeered and hooted them, called them vile names and literally played hide and seek, stopping trains at will and generally rendering the embargo in the military district more effective, if possible, than before. But they did not resist Uncle Sam's men. Again and again they gave way before the levelled bayonets, of a single company of Infantry or of cavalry. Like water too, they closed in again and turned Switches, derailed freight cars and played all sorts of railroad tricks with Which the soldiers were unacquainted. Aside from the immediate neighborhood where the troops were operating there was plenty of excitement and disorder.

In two instances there waa bloodshed. On the Western Indiana tracks a hard pressed special policeman fired at the strikers, wounding one in the leg. On the Lake Shore foad an official of that company fired point blank Into the strikers, who were preventing him from boarding a train. Two or three wer6 wounded, it is believed. Shortly after noon a mob of at least 2,000 started north on the Lake Shore tracks at Thirty-seventh Street, overturning cars and obstructing the line in every possible way.

They were not checked until they encountered a Strong force of police at Twenty-second Street, where they turned back. Of the general it may be said that it broadened during the day. The Big Four is practically tied up. Kansas City is again tied up. Federal troops quickly put an end to the trouble at Raton, N.

arresting a number of strikers. Paralysis continues on the Pacific coast. At Sioux City. Sioux City, July 6: All is quiet on the ML i-i. A mass meeting of the A.

R. U. und members different labor organizations were held yesterday afternoon at Wales Hall and speeches Were indulged in by the various representatives. The arrival of the militia Wednesday night seemed to have a very quieting effect on the mobs that have infested the railroad yards for the past five days and blockaded railroad traffic of all kinds, and as a result there was no disturbance of any kind yesterday and interference with the running of The arrest of some of the alleged ringleaders of the mob has probably bad as much to do with quieting mat- tera as anything. The railroad companies commenced running passenger trains again yesterday and all roads but the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul are getting out trairt on schedule time.

The Illinois Central was the first company to Start a train, having gone right to Work to repair the burned bridge after the fire was extinguished. The Chicago express with a Pullman attached which was held by the mob Monday evening at Court Street, started out yesterday at 5 o'clock and got through without the slightest interference. Its train from Chicago, due at 7 o'clock, came in about an hour late. It also had a Pullman attached and was unmolested. Wants Federal Troops Withdrawn.

Washington special: The Fourth was celebrated very quietly here. There was half a dozen celebrations by patriotic bodies, of which the most-interesting was conducted by the Sons of the American Revolution, which, un- dor escort of the Marine Band and a detachment of National Guards, marched to the foot of Washington Monument and held exercises there. The Coxey commonwealers went through a spectacular performance "Burying the Goddess of Liberty" in front of the Capitol at noon. It was a sequel of the demonstration of May 1, when, according to Coxey and Browne, liberty was mortally wounded and lingered until she expired on the Fourth of July. Captain Austin and a force of ten mounted and twenty-six un- mounted policemen were on hand with two patrol wagons.

The commonweal- era marched lour abreast, 246 strong, with many banners and devices. At their head rode Carl Browne in a remarkable disguise. His beard wan removed and his face powdered. A wig- of yellow hair fell to his waist His arms were bare and powdered. He had a liberty on his head and his body was wound with emblematic garments of liberty.

It was not intended that Browne should be known in his disguise, and the name of the goddess was announced as "Sarah Elkhart, an Egyptian." After parading through Pennsylvania Avenue, the army formed in front of the peace monument, where Browne delivered an apostrophe to the bronze goddess on the top of the Capitol. After he closed he flopped in a badly simulated swoon from his horge, and his comrades catching him placed the pale faced marshal in an impromptu hearse and laid him at full length with flags and crepe over him. The hearse was inscribed "Liberty is Dead" The procession then moved away to Mulligan Hill, and the eom- monwealers closed the day with dancing and speeches. THE TRADE REVIEW Pullman Boycott Will Seriously Affect Business If Continued. New York special: Dun Review of Trade will say: The great strike threatens to interrupt business seriously for a time, though the number of hands engaged is comparatively small.

On, the whole, the other changes during the week were for the better. Many manufacturing establishments which shut down on account of the coal strike resumed. Depletion of the Treasury reserve was checked, Congress made much toward a settlement of the tariff question, and crop prospects have grown better, the demand for products is as yet smaller and less urgent than was expected. Buyers apparently wait for better prices on iron and steel products, which manufacturers are slow to give. There is general complaint of dullness and a narrow demand, and prices on Bessemer, pig and some Clashed forms are a little weaker.

Textile manufacturers are much embarrassed by the near approach of probable changes in the tariff, the effect of which cannot yet be calculated. The number of mills quitting work is not yet as large as expected, for there appears a little more demand from clothiers and jobbers. Sales of wool fell below last year's being 2,788,700 pounds for the week against Wheat declined 2 cents. Corn declined i cents. Pork products are also a shade lower, Cotton yielded a l-16th, as speculation against the enormous stocks in aight grows tiresome.

Failures were 214 in the United States against 307 lost year. A DEFICIT OF $09,693,029. How Uncle Ham's Finances Stand at tne End of tbe Fiscal Year. Washington special: A comparative statement of the receipts and expenditures of the government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894 issued, shows the receipts were $296,960,336 and the expenditures $386,593,359, which leaves a deficit of $69,633.023. Custom receipts show a falling off of about $11,000,000 and Internal revenue about 814,000,000.

There was an increase of about 84,500,000 in expenditures on account of the war department and about $1,500,000 on account of the navy. There was'a decrease of over $2,300,000 on account of the Indian service and a decrease of over $18,000,000 on account of pensions. Ate Their Dead Comrades. Port Townsend, special: The steamship Queen arrived from Sitka and reports that Captain Huntley, the third mate and fifteen survivors of the whaling bark James Allen, wrecked in western Alaska, had arrived at Sitka and taken passage for San Francisco. Tbe survivors report that they endured great hardships and were reduced to such circumstances as to be compelled to eat the flesh of their dead comrades.

Four men were drowned by a boat capsizing and two died of starvation. Fifteen more are missing. Tough On Ibe Landlady. New Haven special: The Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut has decided that students under 21 years of age cannot be held responsible for bills contracted during their minority. Mary E.

Gregory sued Frank L. Lee, a Yale sophomore from Trinidad Island, for a large board bill. Justice Woolf held that Lee was responsible, but Judge Studley of the Court ol Common Pleas reversed the decision, and now Judge Terrance of the Sur preme Court of Errors upholds the latter decision. Detectives Watching Royalty. London special: Since Carnot's death all members of the royal family of England are protected by detectives, A very close watch is kept to prevent any attempt being made upon the life of the Czarewltch, who is in England visiting hia betrothed.

PASSES IT, Three Tariff Bill Adopted After a Months' Debate. Washington special: The unexpected has happened. The tariff bill passed the Senate by a vote of 39 to 34. Senator Hill was true to his promise, and he the Democrats voted against the measure. Senator Peffer was the only Populist who opposed it.

Senator Kyle swallowed the measure at a gulp, and Senator Allen made a wry face and took his medicine too. Senator Murphy abandoned his colleague and voted for the bill He gagged at the income tax, but he secured adequate protection for collars and cuffs, and this seems to have been his sole ambition in life. Tbe conferees on the part of the Senate were announced. Senator Voorhees heads the list and Sena- ton Vest, Jones and Harris make up the remainder of the Democrats, with Senators Aldrioh, Allison and Sherman ae the Republicans. The House will name Messrs.

Wilson, McMillan or Bynum, Breckinridge of Arkansas and Montgomery or Turner, with Reed, Burrows and Paynei'or the Republicans. So far as the Democrats are concerned they represent the south and the south almost exclusively. Voorhees and Bynum are from the north, but they are of the agricultural north and not the manufacturing north. The Republicans will practically be voiceless in this matter and the conference report will be prepared by such eminent financiers and statesmen as Vest, Harris, Jones, Wilson, Breckinridge and Montgomery. The bill passed the Senate by thirty- nine votes.

Eighteen were cast by the eleven states which seceded and seven from the states of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and West Virginia, which gave a decided allegiance to the Union. Twenty-two of the affirmative votes were cast by soldiers of the Confederacy, whose constitution prohibited the levying of protective duties. GLADSTONE MAY COME. Lung-bet at the Idea That the Corn- nil (tec IB Advertising Itself. New York special: Dr.

Cbauncey M. Depew laughed when he read the story cabled from London to the effect that Mr. Gladstone considered the invitation for him to visit this country ae an advertisement for the committee extending: the invitation, which is headed by Mr. Depew. "1 don't think I need any advertising," said he, "and the other men on the committee with me need it just as little.

Now this matter has not been fully understood. It is not my affair, but a tribute to the grand old man from a large number of representative citizens of America. The invitation has not been sent yet, but when it leaked out a lew weeks ago that the invitation was to be extended the announcement that it had been sent was cabled across the ocean, and these facts may explain why Mr. Gladstone considers it a mere compliment. When lie receives the invitation I think he will regard it seriously.

It will bo signed by more than 200 men who do not throw their names around in every direction. This is the first time the United States, as a nation, has aeked Mr. Gla Istone to be a guest of the country. He has often received personal invitations, but they bad come to him in the midst of great political fights. This invitation is of a different character.

Erery interest of America is represented on the invitation cummittee, and in spite of his refusals, and what has been said about this invitation, we think Mr. Gladstone may yet become our guest." WAS A VICTIM OK KKDS. to Curnot's Assaasiuatson Proved Have Been a Conspiracy. Paris special: It is now established that a regular plot in which a number of people were concerned existed to assassinate the President. The final meeting of the conspirators took place at Cette, and Santo was there chosen, lot, to commit the actual murder.

The arrest of Santo's accomplices is expected hourly. The line of people intent upon viewing the coffin containing the remains of the late President Carnot reached from the palace to the Place de la Con- Concorde. The casket rests in the Chapelle Ardente at the entrance of the Cour d'Honeur. The catafalque is in the form of a small Greek temple with Corinthian columns. Large candelabra, wreaths of immortelles and national flags are grouped around the bier, and over all are many palms.

At intervals are longs black pendant banners, bordered with silver and ornamented with silver wreaths, with the letters (Repubiique Francais). On the main drapery the letter (Carnot) is worked in silver at frequent intervals. The number of floral wreaths sent to the Elysce is almost beyond computation. The streets around the Elysee present a somber aspect. All the lamps were covered with crepe and shed a sickly light upon the scenes.

The very walls of the palace are covered with funeral trappings. Saved by a Workingman. Madrid special: The Marquis de Cuba, one of the leaders ol the recent Spanish pilgrimage to Rome, had a narrow escape from assassination. The marquis was visiting the new cathe- drial which is now in course of construction, when he was attacked by a workman with a dagger. Another workman interposed to protect the marquis and received dangerous wounds.

The marquis escaped unhurt. The would-be assassin was arrested. Shot by Whitecaps. Little Rock, Ark, special: A band of whitecaps attempted to whip a number of whites near Evening Shade, Ark. During the melee that ensued John Cathey was shot through the back.

Fifteen convlots are employed at but within a month at fifty will be working, OF INTEREST IN IOWA A DIARY OP NOTEWORTHY HAPPENINGS. Bat Wondermi Hvd Wen In the Vary Heart Marifaalltawn-Permlt for Milk ft Drag Store By an apparent tacit agreement between the whisky drug stores and the Des Moines saloonkeepers the latter, as required by law, close at 10 o'clock at night, and the so-called drug stores, which are nothing more nor than saloons in sguise, take up the interrupted traffic and continue it through tbe night, in effect giving the city constantly open saloons. This became so openly notorious that Mayor Hillis instructed Chief of Police Johnson to give the druggists engaged in the illegal traffic notice that further violation of the law would not be tolerated, and that to persist in selling by the drink, as has been customary, would lead to summary arrest. They Bonn Money.

It would hardly seem possible for a counterfeiting establishment to carry on its nefarious business right in the heart of Marjhailtown for months without being discovered or molested. It appears that at least three men were engaged in the manufacture of bogus silver coio, but when the officers dropped onto the gang two had flown. M. A. Yocum waj arrested.

Yocum and his pals occupied a room over Morgan's drug store, which they rented last September, ostensibly for a job printing office. They procured a small press and a small printing outfit, but this was only a clever blind to their real occupation. It enabled them to ship in such metal as they required for making bogus money, while the uninitiated supposed they were only receiving type, plates and such other heavy material as a printing office is accjstomed to receive by express and freight almost daily. And the product of their lawless operations could be shipped out to confederates in the same way without exciting suspicion. Flag-" Daf.

Dectolon or Judge Macy in tbe Failed Atlantic Bank Judge Macy has made a decision in the Cass County Bank case at Atlantic ruling that the bank was a corporation, not a copartnoship. This decision stops the creditors of the bank, with a 8400,000 deficiency, from the individual stockholders for their claims. Judge Macy, in delivering his opinion, Bam: "The question is as to whether the bank was a corporation or a partnership.

The evidence on this point has been roost complete, and I have never felt myself more able to approach and adjudicate-a question In my experience on th-e bench than I am now." Continuing, he dealt with tbe objection brought forth by counsel why the Case County Bank should be said to have been a copartnership, never having fully arranged the details necessary to establish a corporation as prescribed by the statute. Judge Macy said that inasmuch as the intention to form a corporation existed, the omission of certain technical details in itj formation could not be said to have aborted the effort. The fact been established that the bank Corporation did business in an irregular manner. It may have been neglected to hold directors' meetings oc to properly elect officers. The statute provides a penalty for such omissions, but does not indicate that sucn omissions shall have any bearing on the existence of the corporation.

It is, therefore, to be held that the bank was a corporation from the time plan to so have it was evolved in 1876. A number of preferred claims were allowed. The main body of creditors will not realize over 10 per cent of their claims. The decision takes away moat of the defense of Cashier Dickinson, who will have his trial at Harlan in August.
