UNDER FINE SKIIs Tin- Carnival Spurts and Novelties Milk Go On. The sun shone as pleasantly as it ever did on a spring morning, yesterday, and the air was as balmy as May, but the winter *arnival program was carried out as had oeen arranged, except in those fea tures which required solid ice . The carnival spirit has kept up in spite of ;iie unseasonable weather and the inter est at Tnr, ckossixo. in the sports does not vanish with the snow , and ice, that would have added to them. The warm weather brings the populace from indoors and Btreeta and palace grounds are thronged with all classes, many of whom would under the severity of last week be unable to look upon the beauties of the palace and the many attractions that are clustered about it. Thousands visited the palace grounds yesterday under the tine sky, and if the air so baimy and enjoyable made the paths slushy and in many cases muddy, everybody laughed at the Blight annoyance and did not complain, taking it as a huge joke on the weather. As they watched the rapi dly melting snow their feeling was one of mingled joy and sadness. They were joyful because for once, at least, will be announced to the world the fact that the climate of Minne sota in winter is not s<> severe that the state is "habitable only by Indians and buffalo," and the terrors that the outside world has felt against coming this way between December and May will be largely dis pelled. For as in a hundred cities or the land those who have become interested iv St. Paul's winter carnival read that ' "Owing to the heat a portion of the winter sports bad to be postponed," the great public will forget to look upon Minnesota as one of the frozen countries of the globe, and will cease to shiver when a visit here is men tioned. But a portion of the visitors were Bad as they saw a rope stretcheu along the paths LEADING TO THE PALACE, to keep visitors from entering its icy cor ridors. They wanted to go inside and they feared that the grand structure would waste away before they had had the privi lege. As for the palace, apparently its walls were as solid as after the lirst warm day. On the northern and eastern sides the walls still retain their greenish appear ance and the sharp corners on the blocks of ice have not been blunted by the Mattered sunbeams that have fallen upon them in the morning hours. On the southern and west ern sides the walls are white as snow with the thin coating of shell-like Ice that the warmth lias brought. Some who have always had fears lest the palace would fall and who have always kept at a respectable distance have been predicting that it would fall, but it still stands. and as the last of it is warranted until the early summer there seems to be no immediate danger of any general collapse. On the summit some of the blocks have become somewhat reclining, and to prevent all possibility of acci dent it was thought bestto%eep visitors^ from within, an.'t hence the wire was^ stretched around it at a distance of some feet. About this wire there were tho usan As y e ster day who stood and admired its many ' beauties. The pro gram yes terday was made up of interesting features. Indians to their war paint and feathers, and the 0 dog trains, doing duty for the amusement Of the crowds. The parade was A XOVKL OXK. In it were the hedges drawn by the dogs, the wagons of the Indian ponies, consisting of poles fastened to the harness and drag ging on the ground, after the manner of the old-time aborigines, the old coaches such as the pioneers used in crossing the country, and the more modern styles of vehicle. At evening the grounds were illuminated by lire bailouus. from which shot sparkling meteors of many colors. The rir.ks at the grounds were patronized for practice games of cutilug an for the merry dan • on skate*. Blanket suits lent their many colors, and the day and night were filled with carnival festivities. Tho management will not yield before the Fire King. Perchance be may rob them of some of the sports, but the spirit of the carnival he cannot consume, and with the beauties of the palace heightened by his attack, and the enthusiasm that will not be put down for the attendant attrac tions, the carnival goes on as it was at fiat outlined. a (old uavi; otnio, Indication* ol a Uecided < Uangc Before To-> iglit. Last night's weather report is the best news St. Paul people have had for some time. The night report showed the follow ing change in temperature during the pre ceding twenty-four hours, in all cases the mercury falling: Huron 0° . Moorhead 0 ° . St. Vincent 29°, Bismarck 11°, Fort Bu ford 13 5 , Fort Assiniboine 12°, Fort Cas tor B°, Helena 10 , Fort Garry 29 ? . Mm DadaaaM?« and Medicine Hat it . In Duluth the temperature is given 1° warmer. Signal Ollicer Lyons says of the reports: To-iiijrht's reports show a decidod drop in the temperature and a rising: barometer. At M>m<; stations the intrcury has fallen nearly 30 - in the past twenty-four hours, and the weather is cloudy or snowy, with hijrh winds. Ttaego lucts indicate that there will be de cidedly colder weather at this point, probably accompanied by snow, after the low area now central in this vicinity has passed off, which will be within the next twenty-four hours. Inquiry at the siirnal office developed the facts that the present thaw is periodical and may be expected each year. It is caused by what is termed the "Columbia Chinook," which is a warm wind occurring annually and blowing from the vicinity of the Columbia river towards the northeast, sweeping warm air over Idaho, Montana and part of Dakotainto the Northwest Terri tory. In the latter section it was wanner several days ago than in St. Paul. From the Northwest Territory the warm air is brought here by the northwest winds, but when a change in tempurature takes place there, as the reports show has now occurred, it is speedily followed by a similar change here. What causes the Chinook is not defi nitely known, only the fact of its annual occurrence. PAL. ACE PARK CROWDED. Tbe Bombardment of Old Sot Mill Ineffective. During the day yesterday there was a constant stream of visitors at the ice palace grounds, although until the Indian exhibi tion in the afternoon there was but little going on. The toboggan slides were de serted because of the effect of the sun upon them. The ice on the rinks was too soft for skatins or successful curling, although during the afternoon the curlers indulged in some practice. They sent the stones across instead of lengthwise of the rink, and when one stone struck another inserted their brooms between them, as there was danger of cracking them because of the | fixed position one obtained after standing a few minutes.- The curlers felt considerable anxiety about the condition of the Ice for Wednesday and Thursday's matches, but their spirits went up wonderfully late in the afternoon when the weather reports indi cated the approach of a cold wave. The days warm sun seemed to have little appreciable effect on the palace. A few of the blocks placed on top ■ around the walls for battlements were undermined by the sun and fell off, but it was impossible to discover that the solid walls were affected. The flag of the Ice King proudly flaunted its white bear and blue Basis from the main turret, and apart from the break in the southwest turret of a few of the topmost blocks, which occurred Sunday, the ob server could not discover that old SOL had any more effect on the palace than the Fire King's assault. The sun seemed to have more effect upon the statuary and other diminutive ice structures about town. The handsome bronze soldier which stood on an ice pedestal in front of the palace has been transferred to the ground, lest the pedestal be not massive enough to withstand the temperature. Across the driveway the marble gladiator 1 still threatened approaching visitors with ; annihilation by a blow of his shield or one under cut with his short sword, but the wooden prop under his shield-arm gave him a very undignified appearance, while the prop against his foremost leg reminded one that his onslaught was weakened by a splinted leg, and tbe third prop against his support Bade his condition undeniable — lie was hors da combat, gladiator though he might be. The melodious strains sent forth by the First Regiment band, stationed in front of the palace during the afternoon, enter tained and delighted visitors, lor it was a glorious winter afternoon for outdoor mu sic It was sufficiently warm lor the in struments to keep in tune and for the spec tators to enjoy the music.

The aborigines were out yesterday in full uniform and their laces i.ainted us they were thirty years ago when their yells ami whoops sent tenor lo the heart of the pio neer.

Signs ol BWdarn im pro\ements could be BBOa in the OMtMm, such as ••Suirai Cuieil llum>" and 'T'ilts burys Best," printed in large letters. The squaws were dressed in abort petticoats uf coarse material, that just revealed the but tons of blue soldier pants that enc.iM-d their lower limbs. Their coal-black hai: smeared with fJMBM and the partings plainly outlined with ochre. Their eheefcS were frescoed with red ]»aint and several of the more styli-h won fltJal brass rings in tueir ears and little ornaments in tlieir hair, while rings of brass encircled their tinkers and bracelets of various kinds of metal shone nil their arms.

Shortly before 4 o'clock the unique pro cession of the dogs arrived on the grounds with great tooting of trumpet by CoL Allen from the driv .: ol one of tiie Ooneord eoaehes.

There seemed to be some hesitancy on the part of these hitrhly bedanbed and betoggeiitl gentry, in spoil- ing their fine raiment by dancine in the slush; but atter a brief coun cil of war tlic . interpre ter.' Joe Coursall, an nounced that the In dians ((id not like to dance in the wet, but would give a war dance to amuse the crowd. The drum was brought out, and Tashenawa lhthhodi, or Lightning Blanket, with drum stick wrappek in mnsk rat fur, and Job, with a much more civilized style of drumstick, pro- I eeeded to pound it Industriously, with more apparent in»ent : on of breaking the drumhead than making music. Another '■ Indian, with an unpronounceable and un speUeble name, Joined the two in ringing a different MOM from the one played. The tirst tap of the drum was tiie nignal tor siv teeu of the feathered songsters to tune their voices on sixteen different lavs and KKSU THKIU KNKKS to the same anjrle. They pitched into thel dance, which consistedofs^jinglestenl taken first with oucH foot and then withH the other. and a ini\-H tare of uii-ystnnaticH and irregular liijiuvs.B They proceeded t<'!'H live minutes to s^it-H tor their :l<i\vin;;<"iin-M brie levins and toH ruin tin L'«'\eii!ii:i!itH overshoes, when tiieH drum ceased, and.

At this stage in the game Coursall stepped to the Iront and said: Ladies and Goullcraen: It Is very wet hero. I don't believe a horse would d:mce in this wet. We have several kind* of dances — tho Omaha dunce, tho war dance, the grass dan're and others. We did not want to dance, but to accommodate the ice palace thought we would. Our women and eh.l Inn dance with us but it is too muddy and this is no place to fei my wife out. Now. if any of you ladies and pcntlemon wish to give us anything you can do to. * The Indians then proceeded to a third round with the drum, while Coursall's father and Chief T v kahhahnami na industriously passed around the hat. At the cessation of the 'third round the 1 1 rum appeared to be knocked out, and , the dau<vi> bocriedly gathered in jrroups^and di\ idcl tbe >i»<»ils. The c-uin> dul not seem to pan out verj ry, for Coursall ann'.tunced that lie could not "get the boys to damv any inoiv: tlie water is running all over us."'

The most notable and enjoyable event of the carnival season was the reception and banquet extended by the Globe To boggan club to the Winnipeg Snowshoe club at "Westlake's. on Third street, last night. At 8:30 o'clock the Globe club proceeded in a body to the headquarters of the .Winnipeg club In the King block, on the -corner of. Seventh and Minnesota street;, and escorted their Winnipeg friends to -i lakes, where an eloquent banquet wos. served at nine o'clock. The table was spread in the large dining hall on the second floor of Westlake's establishment. The ' table and dining hall was tastefully eecorated. Tno table was set in the shape of the letter T. which symbolized ••To boggan." Eighty plates were set and occupied by 40 Globe boys and 40 Wlunipegers, The bill of fare A Polo Came. was a credit to Westlake's elegant taste as a caterer. Among the numerous dishes served were oysters a la toboggan, broil ed pheasant a la snowshoe. salad a curling, Ice cream a la ice palace champagne a ■ i< tl Kine, Manitoba cod.'

The toast was drunk standing, and was responded to by President Walsh of the Winnipeg club, who in a few appropriate remarks returned thanks for the kindness which had been extended to bit eWb by the citizens of thin city, and especially by the Globe club. He then introduced Mr. Frank Maguire of the Winnipeg Free Press who would continue the expression. Mr. .Maicuire ~aid that he estceniM highly the privilege <rt responding to this toast.

Then both clubs joined hands and sane in unison and with much feeling that most tender of all the old melodies, "Auld Lang Syne." Thus concluded one of the most pleasant social events of the carnival sea son. KVEMXG I* THE PA UK. Gorgeous Fire HhIIooi:» Sent Up-* The Danre on Ice. The scene at the ice palace grounds last evening was very pleasant to behold. The whole park was alive with people, many beimr in their club uniforms, and the pack and jam of some previous e\ enin.se being absent there was plenty of room and op portunity for the visitors to enjoy them selves. Two bauds were statioued inside \ N ••!.!> STVM-:. the srnnnds, one at the curling rink and the other MM the gate. The weather was simply perfect for outdoor enjoyment. At S::)0 o'clock Hm display of lirt- balloons be gan and continued for half an hour. The balloons were the kind that send out differ t-nt colored balls after ascending and pre sented a beautiful picture. Hm was y any wind stirring and the btetag balls ascended gracefully in an almost ii line. Their varying POtotl were watched with interest. Meanwhile and for an hour after the balloons had ceased to (•limb sk> ward, the crowd sought, out the different attractions and all seemed to find some enjoyment. The toboggan slides on Cedar street were occupied for tlu* first time riaea Saturday and barring a few leet at the top were in good condi tion, bavins sufficiently frozen to afford M*i sport, of which quite a large number availed themselves. while -ides of the slides were lined with ■peetatMß who >eenied to M enjoying thq fun i silly as mucli as the tobogganers them selves. A glance at the Indian tepe» HMi the-** relics of the uncivilized past were holding a royal reception by re maining carefully shut up in their smoke while cp >wl> <if curious observers thronged the outside. Perhaps the gayest scene of ail was at the curling rink. The Metropol itan band was stationed on its banks and furnished music for a band of gay dancers who trod the mazes of the waltz on ice. The scene was decidedly picturesque. In the brilliant glare of electric lights club Too Warm for This. uniforms of all colors and combinations of colors mingled in a pastime but seldom in dulged in. A large crowd was gathered around the banks and when some venture some but unlucky, couple assayed the dizzy whirl only to fall in an aurouiantic heap, the enjoyment was intense. It took eood engineering and carefuljturning to maintain the natural equilibrium, but ibis seemed to lend all the more pleasure to the trial. A general feelinic of jolity and sociability pre vailed, and none seemed to feel embarrassed f the ice suddenly came in contact with their capotes, considerine themselves lucky if their toques escaped unharmed.

The Fire Kinir was a much more formidable enemy than he expected to meet. lie had veteran troops, and handled them with consummate skill and ability. The reporter found the king a courteous, kind-heartd gentleman upon . whose shoul ders the weight of royalty rested quite easily. When about to leave his presence he insisted upon telling the good people of this city to be of good cheer, as the polar wave would be here on time, and then they should be treated to a variety of interesting and novel entertainments, after which he said the royal party would leave for their Northern home where the cold, chilly winds of winter ever fan the cheek of royalty.

The Riot Precipitated by the Leaders*li« cendiary Utterances. Bloodshed and Arson in the Ooke Regions of Pennsylvania. Further Use of the Rifle and Torch Mo- mentarily Feared. Starving mechanic*. Loxdox, Feb. B.— "starving me chanics" of London to-day held a mass meeting in Trafalgar square around the Nelson monument and it resulted in a riot. The proceedings were opened with an as semblage of 10,000 men. Police were pres ent in largo numbers. They at once saw that the Socialistic element of London greatly predominated in the crowd, which was also managed by well-known Social ist.-, and extraordinary vigilance was ordered to preserve the peace at all hazards. Con spicuous among the leaders of the multi tude was Mr. Burns, who ran us the So cialist candidate in Nottingham in the re cent election, He sneered at the police, and acted generally as if he wished to bring about a conflict between them and the peo ple. Finally he ascended the pedestal of the Nelson column for the. purpose of delivering a harangue. lie was well aware that this act would not be tolerated, and the police politely ordered him to get down. This he refused to do. appealing to the crowd to resist "Interference with the ex ercise of popular rights." The officers. however, were determined, and they pushed their way through the excited and resisting mass of humanity and by force removed Mr. Burns from the pedestal. By this time the crowd had hastily augmented and tile streets adjacent were packed with surging mobs. The stir In the elevated spot where the Burns' Incident took place was easily perceptiblo over almost the entire area coy ered by the concourse, and the sight of HELMETS AND I ■MKiiIISIS in the struggle was accepted as visible proof of the commencement of the "tight against the law." The intelligence was re sponded to with a general and fearful howl and an attempted rush irom all directions to the point of interest. Burns had now been removed some distance from tho posi tion he had attempted to occupy. lie be came emboldened by the cries of the throng and made a desperate effort to recover his lost ground. lie was so effectively helped by the mob that the ofiicers on the spot were brushed out of the way and the orator was soon pressed up against the monument. He quickly reascended the pedestal accom panied by a number of other socialist lead er*. Burns bore a red lias;, and he waved it to the assemblage as a signal of his tri umph over the authorities. He was greeted with deafening shouts, repeated again and again. Burns now leisurely finished bid address. He then read a fiercely-worded resolution. This denounced tho "authors of the present distress in England;" de manded that parliament start public works to give employment and bread to the tens of thousands of deserving men who were out of work through do fault of their own, bnt because of bad government; declared that it was the duty of the government to afford every facility for the employment of British capital at home for the benefit of the British people, and to give British en terprise preference over foreign, and as serted that the time had arrived for parlia ment to earnestly legislate for the relief of the depression in the • English agricultnral industry. The resolution also demanded the IMMEDIATE APPOINTMKNT of a minister of commerce and a minister ot agriculture, and concluded with the re solve that copies should be forwarded to Mr. Gladstone, Lord Salisbury, l'arnell and the boards of public works. The reading of the resolutions was accompanies! by tierce comment ar.d short explanatory speeches by various orators who stood with liunis. Some of these orators weut so far a- u> warn th« govern mt-ut that, although the "starving mechanics'' of London were attempting to draw attention to their needs by quiet and peaceful agitation, they vere bound to get bread, and would get it by at tacking the bakers' shops next if the gov ernment d;d not come to their relief. Burns )iim-clf, in one of these side speeches, de nounced the present house of commons as a body of landlords ami capitalists for whom hanging was too good. He also declared t hat the people had assembled to Bummon parliament to immediately relieve the dis tress of the British workiugmen; that the people wanted the question settled at once »Bd peacefully If possible, otherwise revo -1 ution was inevitable. All this so ag gravate the excitement of the huge mob that the police reformed with increased force and made ANOTHER ASSAULT. They succeeded in forcing their way up to the pedestal. They reached this point just as the resolution which had already been offend and seconded were about to be sub mitted to the mob for approval. Theofticers ut once ordered the proceedings to be dis continued on the pedestal and commanded Burns and his colleagues to come down. This they refused to do. and the olhcers thereupon dragged them down by force and drove them from the pedestal. It was cvi« dent that Burns expected that the applica tion of force to him would precipitate- a riot and it WH also apparent that the officers tin mediately engaged in removing the ora tors iear»:d an attack. But the men com posing the mob were not yet in fighting humor and the mob contented itself for the time by hooting the police and smothering them with flour, dirt and garbage. The ontan behaved admirably under the abuse and showed no resentment. After their ejection, neither Mr. Burns nor any of his colleagues many any further attempts to get back. They at once left the scene and proceeded to the wall of the National gallery. They mounted this wall, pointed to the . doors and windows and bitterly denounced the inmates. This looked like an attempt to set the mob on the building. The mob was excited but not up to the point of vio lence yet. Burns and his colleagues Beeing this, vacated the National gallery wall and proceeded to the Carleton club, where they repeated their tactics. By this time the mob was tremendous in numbers and verg ing on desperation. Stories ef what the police had said and don© at the Nelson column bad been circulated FROM MOUTH TO MOUTH, exaggerated with every repetition, until the "starving mechanics" were convinced that the authorities had actually dared them to a conflict. Such tire as was ready for igni tion and within touching distance was in flamed Dy »he speeches delivered on the Carlton club stoop. The mob was split up into many divisions by being forced down the different streets by the pressure from Trafalgar square to get nearer the occur rences at the club house, and the various divisions started off hooting, howling and
