The Dullish League Continues to I'roas Its
I'roiiugiiiiilu—Mlllrrtt to Hold a Con-
vention—The Urit isli W. C.
T. U. Opened.
New York, .June 18.—The Ilnrlem
! ship canal, which connects the Hudson
river with Long: Island sound, was
formally opened this afternoon with a
great aquatic and land parade in which
the United States army ami navy, state
military and naval corps,the tire depart-
ment and numerous civic bodies were
represented. The parade was watched
by 50,000 or more people. The cere-
mony of pouringr two barrels of water
from the great lakes into the canal,
symbolizing the union of the lakes
with the sound, was accompanied by
the firing of cannon by the United
States cruisers Atlanta and Cincinnati.
The waterway is not for larfjc ves-
sels and is chiefly intended to afford a
passageway for the canal boat and
lighter traffic. The canal was first
projected in 1S74, but nothing was done
till April, 1803, when dredging com-
menced. The mean depth of the chan-
nel will be 0 feet and the width f>0
feet. It cost §2,500,000.
Dlmetalllsin Iu Rnglnnd.
London, June 18.—The English bi-
metallic league continues to press its
propaganda with the utmost vigor.
It proposes to raise 850),000 for its work
and it is said over $2.">0,000 has already
i been collected. Four persons and firms
—Antony Oibbs Sc Sons, Sir William
Houldsworth, Ileseltiue, l'owell fe Co.,
. and Hugh McCalmont, the great racing
I and yachting millionaire, have sub-
, scribed $12,500 each. Two members of
I the firms named are directors of the
j Hank of England. Twelve persons, in-
cluding the duke of Sutherland and
the duke of Portland, have subscribed
I 85,000 each. Other subscriptions range
' from 82,500 downward, and nre from
many notable business firms, banks
anil individuals.
Millers to Hold 11 Convention.
Chicago, June 18. Millers from all
parts of the United States will assem-
ble in the Auditorium on June 25 to
form a new association to take the
place of the old Millers National asso-
ciation. The object is to establish
more harmony between the winter
wheat and the spring wheat millers.
The convention will also discuss the
matter of cheaper transportation rates.
The British W. C. T. ('. Opened.

MAY CALL X CONVENTION.
Probability That the Missouri Democratic
Central Committee will Reconsider Its
Former Aetloo.
Jefferson Citv, Mo., June 18.—Sec-
retary J. W. Zevely, ot the dem-
ocratic state central committee,
says that up to date he has received
resolutions demanding a state silver
convention from the committees of
only four counties in the state. Many
of the counties have declared iu favor
of a state silver convention, but for
some reason the local secretaries have
not so reported to the secretary of the
state committee.
It is said that if a majority of the
counties will report to the state com-
mittee another meeting of that body
will be held, and in all probability a call
will be issued for a state convention to
be held some time In August. It is not
believed that the committee will ignore
a request from a majority of the coun-
ties.
The (iliit of Money In London.
London, June 18.—The rumor that
the Hank of England contemplated re-
ducing its rate to 1 per cent, men-
tioned in the Associated pross dis-
patches, probably originated in the de-
cision of the joint stock banks to re-
duce the scale for deposits at short no-
tice from % to }i per cent With con-
sols at nearly 107, unless something
happens to relievo the plethora of tho
money market, th« Hank of England
directors will eventually be forced to
take such steps.
One Dry Day for Wlehita.
Wichita, Kan., June 1 8.—There was
a rumor on the strict Saturday thet
the police commissioners had received
a letter from Gov. Morrill instructing
them to close the joints or hand iti

Washington, June 10.—The promul-

cular, carrying into effect the joint
resolution of congress, exempting from
the operations of the alien contract
labor law all foreigners brought to
this country by foreign exhibitors
or owners of concessions at the Cotton
States exposition at Atlanta, has called
attention to the results of a similar reso-
lution passed on behalf of the Chicago
world's fair. Hoth resolutions author-
ized such foreigners to remain In this
country one year after the close of the
exposition, but after the expiration of
that time, should they still remain in
this country, they wero made subject
to all of the processes and penalties
applicable to aliens coining in viola-
tion of the allen contract labor law.
In neither ease, however, did congress

The Revolution In Cniom'ilsi.
Washington, .Iu i - 1«i.—The state
department has receive I information
of the serious devastation the revolu-
tion In Colombia, South America, is
causing. It also shows tho very
straitened circumstances in which
the governir.cnt finds itself, owing to
the war. The government is out of
funds, and is making tax levies which
are very hard to bear, placing an enor-
mous export excise tax on coffee, which
is the principal crop of the country.
The revolution also has drained the
country of men, an 1 has resulted in
the destruction of crops and of ani-
mals used for trans > r. ion.

An Ecclesiastical Tribunal Considering; the
Case of Mother Duchcsite.
St. Charles, Mo., dune 10.-- The ec-
clesiastical tribunal for examining in-
to the case of Mother Ihichesne as a
preparatory step to canonizing her as
a saint of the Roman Catholic church,
held a session yesterday at the convent
of the Sacred Heart in this city The
proceedings consisted of the hearing of
evidence from those with whom she
was associated during her life and con-
nected with the convent here. Rev.
Fathers Lang, McDermott, Muhlscipeu,
and McCabe, of St. Louis, conducted
the examination of the witnesses, who
testified to the devout and holy life led
by Mother Duchesne during her resi-
dence in St. Charles. Some time ago
a similar session of the ecclesiastical
tribunal was held at tho Mother-
house of the Sacred Heart Order in St.
Louis, where like investigations were
conducted. To be cannonizod as a
saint of the Catholic church is an un-
common and most interesting pro-
cedure, and the culmination of the
present investigations of Mother Du-
chesne's life will be one of very few
instances of the kind in church his-
tory. A record of tho miracles that
have been attributed to the holy life of
the devout mother has been kept since
her death in 1855, and these with the
result of the ecclesiastical investiga-
tions, will be sent to the pope, through
the. archbishop of the diocese, when
final action will be taken. There are
no less than fourteen steps to be gone
through before tho candidate is de-
clared a saint

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U.S. Gov't Report
A Man Deeded His l.auii to the Lord and
Kofi Want* d Rsok
Corsu ana, Tex., Juno 10.—A novel
ease is on trial in the district court
here. About ten years ago Dr. J. A.
Ferguson owned 1,400 acrcs of land
near Dawson, this county. Rev. J. T.
Williams, a sanctificationist minister,
visited the neighborhood, and soon
pfter Dr. Ferguson deeded his land to
the Lord, naming Rev. Williams as
trustee. In 1880 the wife of Ferguson
charged insanity against him, and the
court set aside the transaction and ap-
pointed a commissioner to take charge
of the property for the heirs of Fergu-
son. Ferguson returns now and claims
he has recovered and sues for posses-
sion of his land. The case has been on
trial several days.

Attempt to Loot the Town Dur-

Chicago, Juno 18.—Trouble had been
expected nt the whisky trust's distil-
leries since the recent decision of tho
Illinois supreme court, declaring tho
whisky trust illegal, several of tho for-
mer owners of the various distilleries
having declared that under the decision
the plants reverted to those from whom
the purchases were made. Receiver
McNulta applied to the United States
marshal for assistance and sincc the
decision each of tho distilleries has
been closely guarded l 3r armed deputy
United States marshals.
Trouble was especially expected at
the Shufelilt plant, located at Chicago
avenue and the river, and this antici-
pation was borne out about I o'clock
this morning, when an armed party of
a dozen men on a large scow tried to
surprise tho guards.
The deputy marshals wero quietly
bunched at the landing and, when the
scow ncared the shore, tho men aboard
were commanded to surrender. They
replied with a volley of revolver shots
and the deputies promptly opened tire.
Under the hot volley tho men quickly
dropped down the river and, reaching
a landing, disappeared.
The force of deputies at the plant
was doubled to-day, in anticipation of
further trouble. Who is responsible
for tho attack tho authorities refuse to
say.
The Shufcldt distillery was sold to
t.'ic whisky trust by the millionaire
Lynch family. One of the Lynch broth-
ers, Thomas Lynch, Jr., had been re-
ported to have declared his intention
of regaining possession of the distil-
lery, and his name was frequently men-
tioned to-day in connection with Inst
night's raid. The officials of the trust
and the government authorities, how-
ever, refuse to discuss the possible con-
nection of Lynch with tho affair.
Fire Eiiks In nn Ohio Town.
Grkknvii.ee, O., Juno 18.— Fire was
started last night In a stable in the
rear of tho Winter block, surrounded
by business houses, and soon destroyed
Mozart's store, Westerfield's wholesale
house, three printing offices, the Meth-
odist Episcopal church, five dwellings
and a large livery stable and damaging
several other dwellings and business
houses.
The fire was the work of incendiaries
and In the excitement thieves looted
the town. Two ineffectual attempts
were made to set tiro to other parts of
the town. Charles Dairy tuple, of the
Mozart store, and I>.-1 Dougherty, a
member of the city fire department,
were injured. The entire loss at a con-
servative estimate will reach $225,000.

The Commissioner of the Oencral Land
Otllce Asked to Detnll a Special

PlTTSlicrgh, Pa., June 18.—The three
refineries bought in by the Standard
will probably be shut down before
long, owing to a shortage of oil. They
are still in operation, but an announce-
ment of their being closed for an in-
definite period Is dally expected. Tho
Standard price of credit balances re-
mains at 81.15 a barrel, despite the con-
tinued decrease of s'.o-ks and no in-
crease in production. Tho production
is now said to bo nearly 11,000 barrels
behind tho consutnp'ion da 1 y. What
tho situation may ulti nately load to is
a matter of conjecture but at present
rate it appears as if tiicro mi lit be an
oil famine within a vear. In tho 11 rhtof

try asking that a s; I a :cnt l e de-
tailed to go to Okiah'. a i an I ;avc-ti-
gate the reported gold find. It i, i
gested by the officials that it would be
impossible for the government to make
any investigation on Indi a reserva-
tions, but as some of the r • • tod finds
are on public lands in o . a ituna possi-
bly the department will investigate
by way of finding out if any of
the public domain should 1 ; dispo ,ed
of under the mineral land law. It ap-
pears that some of those informing the
department and asking for special
agents to investigate arc quit ; willing
for the government to attomat to g >
where Individual enterprises and ef-
forts have failed. It happens that so
far no white man has been able to
penetrate the Wichita mountains and
return. All have been invited by
the Indians on reaching the
foothills to retrace their foot-
steps, and in the event they have
not accepted the invitation they have
always been prevented by force from
entering the mountains. It is the in-
formation at the department that no
real evidence of mineral wealth in the
Wichita mountains have come from
the whites, but all information has
been secured from Indian sources. Tho
opposition coining fro n the Indians to
allowing the whites to penetrate the
Wichita mountains is supposed to ex-
plain how it is that souicof the anxious
and nervous prospectors have con-
cluded to Invite the government to
lead the way.

The Interstate Cmn meree Commission
Makes a Report Tor I SO 1.
Washington, Juno 18.—Tho seventh
statistical report of the interstate
commerce commission, for the year
ended June 30, 1801, has just been sub-
mitted. In the introduction especial
mention is calleil to the peculiar condi-
tions affecting the operations of rail-
ways during the year, covering a
period of widespread add unprece-
dented business depression. It shows
that on June 30, 1801, 10* roads, oper-
ating upwards of 42,000 iniles of line,
and representing about one-fourth of
the total railway capitalization, were
in the hands of receivers. The effect
of these conditions is apparent in near-
ly all of the figures presented.
