Chicago. July 20. Scandinavia has taken possession of Jackson park and will hold the fort for three days, during which music, speeches and fireworks will cut a figure. There is a "whole lot" of Scandi navian folks in the limits of Chicago to say nothing of the colonies of that nation ality In the states surrounding, and a 7 THE GIANT OX COURT OF HONOR. large percentage of them are at the park today. Tonight the searchlight on Manu factures building will light up the statues in the Court of Honor and show them in a halo. The appearance of these statues when so lighted up is inexpressibly beau tiful. They look like they were chiseled out of marble and their artistic beauties are thoroughly developed. It Is a Gallery of Sculpture. The Court of Honor is a gallery of sculp ture. The sj.lcndid figure of America on a pedestal in the lagoon; the Columbus Quadrigd in the center of the peristyle; the MncXonnics fountain; the two mag nificent and heroic statues of the ox with the maiden : leading them; the splendid figures of N:".-man horses, and last bir not least the symbolical groups on the Admin istration biiiluing. are all masterpieces in design r.nd execution, and never look more perfect than when under the brilliant rays of the search light. Two Nights of Light fur Sweden. The illuminations occur twice a week, and this week they will both be for Swe den. Nothing more entruucingly love'y was ever witnessed by human eyes than' the Court of Honor on illumination nights, ' ana me met that the Swedish celebration includes two of the nights is sufficient to mark it as a reil letter event. But Sweden proposes to do the occasion justice. Most nations are satisfied with one day. Even Germany was. But the Scandinavian has captured three and will make them notable, so he si ys, and the managers of the fair cry "Amen," esjiecally as to paid admissions. The jollification began this morning by the parade into the grounds of fifty of the Swedish societies of Chicago. These were led by the American Union of Swedish Singers 500 strong. This union consists of twenty-five singir.g societies scattered from St. Paul to Boston. In the parade there were societies from Chicago, St. Taut, Rockford. New York, Milwaukee, Minneapols, Buffalo, and other cities. Tim members wore white caps and sang ci they marched. In the afternoon at 4 o'clo ik these societ les will give a concert at Festival hall, singing tiio gee and part songs of Sweddn. For this occasion three of the most noted Swedish soloists have been en gagedMine. Caroline Ostberg, C. F. Lundquist. t.f t'.:e Royal opera, Stockholm, and Conrnl Ue'jrens. Mme.

The "Ifaytliin Turks" and Other Wor shippers of Strange Gods. There is one thing on the Midway Plais ance that must strike the observer more than any other, and that is the omnipres ence of beer. You go into the Cairo street 6AKESHA. GOD OT PRCDEKCE. Hindoo Divinity. and straightway are landed in another World. Chicago,- America, have disap peared, and you are in Egypt so you think. Coming to the end of. the street you run against the sign -t-iisener or -i-ausc.,-and, presto!-you are immediately in Chi cago again. Beer is everywhere. It seems the universal tipple. It is that in the Plaisance. Turks, Arabs, Algerians, Da homeyans, Indians, and all thirst for it. The Dahomeyans have learned to like it since they came here, never having known the taste of beer until their arrival in Chi cago, and have developed a capacity for the anibt-r fluid equal to that of the Ger man woruars in a- brewery, lately It nas been found necessary to put two or three cases of beer in sight of the platform beio:t; they begin their dances and other performances, and as soon as the programme is ended the semi-naked heathens make a dash for the supplies, and dexterously forcing the corks insert the neck of the bottle between their teeth and keep it there until the contents are entirely exhausted. It would be a sad commentary on our civilization if these people should learn but one thitig well over here and that is how to "put away" the white man's "tan glefoot." Some of the Moors arc said to be developing a taste for w. jsky and it is stated that several of the half savages have had to be sent back to their native land because of the effect on them of American drinks. Xhi Hindoo seems to be free of this vice to a greater extent than any oth ers of the Orientals. But this may lie on account of the startling god of prudence whom he worships. There was a joke on the national com mission as a result of the panic over the storage fire. One of the commissioners ap peared in the commission chamber in high excitement, and announced that there was a pipe in the Agricultural building that was sure to set fire to something; he could not hold his hand on it. A committee was appointed to inform the director general, and was told by that official thpt the pipe was harmless. It was only a steam ex haust, he said, and further informed the committee that the fact that it was hot to the hand did not make it dangerous. The Congress of College Fraternities has begun its session. The members nearly startled President Bonney out of a year's growth by giving a terrible college yell just as he had cpened l is mouth to wel come them. Meetings were held in the various halls of the Art institute of the Universityof Extension congress.Congress of College Fraternities, Congress of Social Settlements and the opening session of the Emma Willard Memorial association. At the latter an address by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady stanton entitled "Pioneer Work in the Higher Education of Women in the United States." was read by Miss Susan B. Anthony. The special celebration of the state of Colombia and the dedication of the Col ombian pavilion will take place this after noon at 4 o'clock. President Senor Castos Martinez Silva will make a special ad dress and the Valisi mandolin orchestra will give a programme of music. JOHNNY CRAPAUD AND SIAM. A Specimen of the Vniversal Aggressfon of the Strong bn the Weak. PAKIS, July 20. The statement relative to the sending of an ultimatum to the Si amese government is confirmed by a semi official announcement. The nltirratum has been sent, but instead of only twenty four hours being allowed for an answer Siani will be given forty-eight hours in which to accept or reject the demands made upon her by France. The total in demnity claimed by France is 3,000,000 francs, exclusive of the claims made ' by private persons. The ultimatum declares that if Siam does not agree to the demands made upon he:- in the time specified the French fleet will blockade the Menam river, upon which the Siamese capital is located. And these are the demands; that the Si amese evacuate the left bank of the Me kong river; that guarantees be given by the Siamese government for the faithfuf performance of its treaty of obligations, and that indemnity be paid for the out rages perpetrated by the Siamese upon the French. The French are already in pos session of the lower Mekong river, .tnd if Siam concedes the demands now made upon her the river will.be made almost en tirely French. And thus it is that the nub of the French demands is the first, by which Siam will be robbed of a nice piece of real estate and France be that much better off. It was but a short time ago that the river was acknowledged to be a consider able distance to the westward of the French strip of influence in Annam. A mountain range lies a long distance to the eastward of the Mekong river, and the French claimed no jurisdiction to the westward of this range. Recently France claimed the entire water-shed to the west ward of the mountains to the river, and now she demands that the Siamese evacu ate the western bank. M'LAUGHLIN'S DISAPPEARANCE. Nearly Three Years Missing What Was Found in If is Trunk. Tiffix. O., July 20. In November, 1890, Daniel McLaughlin, an unmarried man 78 years old, and supposed to be possessed of a large amount of this world's goods, mysteriously disappeared from Jackson, Mich., whence he started for a three-days' trip to Indianapolis. Prospective heirs employed detectives, and since that time a vigorous search has been prosecuted, but the whereabouts of the missing man and his fate have never been ascertained. A short time ago a trunk belonging to the missing man was discovered in Jackson, Mich., and was brought to this city by T. J. Kintz. He was appointed administrator on re quest of the heirs who reside in Columbus and Somerset, O., and others in Indiana. Mr. Kintz has opened the trunk and dis covered that it contained $390 in cash and valid mortgage notes amounting to $3,200, besides a score of warranty deeds to real estate in Indianapolis, Soath Bend and Fort Wayne, Ind. Papers found in the trunk also showed that McLaughlin had given to various Roman Catholic orphans' homes donations to the amount of (23,000 and $26,000 to the children of his sister. Administrator Kintz has reason to be lieve that McLaughlin left valuable pa pers elsewhere, but as the old man made his home in Indianapolis, South Bend and Fort Wayne, Ind., and Kalamazoo, De troit and Jackson, Mich., it is a difficult task to ascertain the location of such pa pers.' The efforts to discover McLaugh lin's fate will l continued, and the ad ministrator will also look np all the prop erty for which deeds have been found. THE DREAD SCOTT DECISION. It Seems to Be Is in Force Vet lloth in the North and the South. Chicago. July 20. A crowd of southern excursionists from Atlanta, Qa., terrorized Xo. 4 train on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road within the city limits, severe ly beat J. E. Lewis, a colored messenger in thg employ of the Santa Fe road and forced another railway employe to jumpfrdta the swiftly moving train.Thesoutherners called to the negro with an oath to come to them and he paid no attention. They then or dered him again with the remark that they would leach him to come "when a white man calls you." But still, believing the popular fiction that the United States is a free country, he did not go. This angered the Georgians and a num ber of them with revolvers in their hands advanced toward him, shouting: "Kill tbe negro." After striking him on the head a number of times with their revolvers they forced him to walk down the car while they Uat him with their fists and guns. In the meantime a num ber of the party attacked the switch fore man, who was still on the rear platform, forcinwr him to jump from the train. Lewis finally made his escape to the front cars, where the passengers protected him from further assault. On the arrival of the train at the depot Lewis complained to the police, but they refused to do any thing, Baying they had no business to interfere. On the liase Hall Diamond. Chicago, July 20.
