Our opponents tell us that the Ira ill* question was settled by the enactment of the 3lcK.iu.ley bill, and they deprecate any agitation of the subject of its repeal. Our answer is that no public question ran be deemed settled in this country until It has been rightly » -tiled.— David B. Hill. ONE DAY'S PUGILISTIC RE TURNS. What a great thing for the country pugilism is, to be sure. Three or four bisr fights a year, at which nobody is li art. and all the rest of the time for such bluffing and chinning and blovi ating as effectively protect the dear 'public from the onslaughts of ennui. Take any day's pugilistic news— that Sjiven in Tuesday morning's papers, for instance. It is like a tonic; it breaks up the stagnation of the dullest political campaign on record, and fairly makes our nerves tingle with pleasurable ex citement. In the first place, there is that thrilling interview with Mr. Sulli van-, in which he throws out deft in sinuations of foul play in connection •with his recent misadventure at New Orleans. "Do you mean that you were nrucged?" asked the interviewer; and the ex-great man looks down the wings, right and left, in true melo dramatic fashion, before he re sponds in husky accents: "There " was some tli ing wrong. I am not making any direct charges just now, but that 1 was not right I well know. After the first round I could see half a dozen Cobbktts." S'death! but what ii dark conspiracy is here unfolded. With six Richmond's in the field against him, of course John L. had no show. "We should say there was "something ■wrong." : Mr. Cobbett hit entirely too hard. And here also is a thrilling rumor that "Mr. Sullivan doesn't know when he has had enough— that he contemplates trying his luck with Mr. Cokbett again. To this rumor, however, Mr. Sullivan enters a mild disclaimer. He isn't hunting a fight with Mr. Cokbett Just at present, he says, but "I may do so at some later day. lam one of those Edwin Booth fellows, or rather, an actor, now. I'm going to stick to acting as long as 1 can, and after I am through - with the stage there is no telling exactly who I will fight." Mr. Sullivan's grammar is a trifle faulty, though we wouldn't care to tell him so to his face. But see what a graceful distinction he makes between an "Edwin Booth fel low" and an "actor." He himself is an "actor," and those "Edwin Booth fel lows" will have to find some new name for their branch of the trade. Mr. Cokbett is also an "actor." His . opening in "Gentleman Jim" furnished another thrilling pugilistic item yester day. "The house was packed to the doors," and "during the evening the star was presented with a number of large floral offerings, and after the per formance he held an . impromptu recep tion." Bouquets and handshakes! Picture this gentle bruiser smothered In roses and besieged by the admiring populace! Zoundsi What an inspiring scene! How its recital shatters the monotony of these else wise prosaic times! Vive pugilism ! A THRIVING YARN. There is a great suggestion for the tnelodramatist in an incident reported from Niagara Falls. On a slender scaf fold, suspended from the cantilever bridge, 200 feet above the roaring waters of Niagara, two painters engaged iv desperate combat. Locked in a deadly embrace, they struggled and staggered and swayed from side to side of their narrow foothold. Mad with passion, they essayed each to hurl the other into the seething waters below. Finally, one of them freed one of his hands and snatched up a hatchet. Three cruel blows on the head and neck, and his victim toppled over off the scaffold. The hungry waters, however, did not receive their. expected prey. The man was miraculously caus-ht in some guy ropes, out of reach of his antagonist, and eventually reached the bridge top alive, although desperately wounded. His assailaut had already climbed up ana escaped. i Tut this incident into melodrama, and the gallery gods would feast with a relish which the gods on high Olympus never equaled Astute critics would frown down the idea as "ab surdiy overdrawn" ana "wildly extrav agant," but lovers of sensational his trionism would pour their contributions into the box office. Aside from its dramatic possibilities, the incident is good material for the moralizer. It well illustrates the ter rific force with which sudden fury can seize man in its clutches, rob him of all reason and make him its plaything. And it also, perhaps, exemplifies the Munchausen capabilities of enterpris ing newspaper correspondents. : A GLOBULiAR PIiKASANTRY. There is a newspaper, pleasantry about the protective value of a life in surance policy which enjoys a popularity, as great as the mother-in-law joke, r and which, in spite of its advanced years, appears with perennial iteration ■'. to gladden the risibilities of myriads of readers. Sometimes it takes one form, and sometimes another. Now a man is shaken up in a railroad accident, and, escaping without a scratch, curses the luck which has prevented his making something out of the insurance com panies. And, again, a woman rallying from a serious illness says: "I do not see any use in keeping up my pre miums. I'll never get any good from them. My constitution is too stout." The profundity of this conceit has been . surpassed in the history of witticisms, but the public likes it, and the press strives to gratify the public. A few weeks ago, when the Grand Army of the Republic was assembling iv Washington, the Globe commented with wonder on the vast number of vet erans there were surviving in vigorous health after the lapse of thirty years from the time of the civil war, and it suggested by way of explanation that a pension was as effective a life preserver as an insurance policy. This, of course, is not the real explanation; ana it is, perhaps, hardly necessary to add that it was not intended as such. The real ex planation is to be found in the fact that the Union army was composed for the most part of the young men of the conn; try, and a quarter of a century has not been long enough to bring them past middle age. But as a passing fancy the idea was not without uient.and it served tho useful purpose of calling attention editorially to an important item of news, the details of which appeared in another columu of the same paper. -^ By HK IS A PHILOSOPHER, a The Globe does not usually explain its ephemeral flashes of high spirits in this style, and positively declines either now or ever to apologize for them. If they are good they defend themselves, and if they are bad they carry with them their own appropriate punishment. But this particular paragraph under the careful manipulation of the Globe's diseased morning contemporary, been made the text for so many public ab surdities that its revival is demanded as a basis for some contributions to a list of the possibilities of human asininity. The climax in this direction .was reached night before last, when the pre siding officer of one of our local Grand Army posts undertook a reply to what be characterized as the Globe's assault on his holy order. He said that he had read the offensive article while absent from the city, and that the hot tears of indignation and outraged sensibilities had gushed spontaneously in response, Hooding his beard and shirt linen. Since his return to St Paul, he stated, he had found out the name of its author by patient investigation, and he de clared from his knowledge of the pen sion office's statistics that the Globe's facts were totally and absolutely untrue. If there is anything more pathetically absurd than this in the lines of con temporary opera bouffe, it has yet to be recited in the presence of a St. Paul audience. Jokes are frequently depress ing things, but this is the first recorded instance off the stage where one of them has made a strong man weep. The Globe is exceedingly proud of the .dis tinction thus conferred upon its efforts in the line of light literature, and is glad that it has been singled out for this honor. By way of reciprocity, it hastens to put on the brow of its valiant critic as many garlands as its stock of rare exotics makes possible. It is sorry that he should have lapsed from a strict adherence to the truth when he said that he knew the name of the offensive paragraph's author. He does not know this, and could not guess it in a thousand and one entertaining nights. But he is quite accurate in his claim that the Globe was in error when it eulogized the life-preserving qualities of a pension. Seriously, a pen sion can no more ward off the approach of death than an insurance policy. The gentleman is entirely right. He is a philosopher,' ana has made a great dis covery. When some kind-hearted phil anthropist endows an institution where the thick-skulled can have their heads rubbed free of charge, the GLlobe will see that he gets the first chance at its benefits as a reward for his brilliancy. WHITEL.AAV REID. It is an exhibition of this sort which scrapes the veneering off of all these partisan references to the civil war and discloses their arrant hypocrisy. . The same men who use the strongest eye glasses to spell out something inimical to the cause of the Union in a Demo cratic newspaper's columns sing dog gerels at their stated meetings in praise of "General" ALCrEK,who was cashiered from the federal army for disobedience of orders, and pledge themselves by secret oaths to vote for White law lleid, who was a pestilential foe of all the heroes worshiped by our united country today. The Globe has already on several occasions referred to Reid's war record.and this morning it publishes some illustrative extracts from the Re publican vice-presidential candidate's writings. During the darkest hours of those unhappy years, Abraham Lin coln and the Union generals had no heavier burden to bear than the cruel assaults of the critics of their own households. The soul of the martyr president was daily lacerated almost beyond the point of human endurance by the carping, snarling bitterness of a low race of penny-a-liners, who put a false construction on his every act, and held him up in the contemporary press to popular obloquy and condemnation. Foremost in this treacherous crew was Wiiitelaw Keid, who blackguarded not only Lincoln, but Grant and Sherman nnd Stanton and Hallbck and Buell as well. From 1860 to 1876 be was the uncompromising enemy of every man who had made him self cousplcuous by patriotic toil. He was a leading spirit in the cabal which sought the political assassination of Abraham Lincoln in ISG4. and in 1872 he bolted the nomination of Ulysses S. Giant because he questioned the right of the soldier to enjoy the highest honors at the country's hands. And yet such a man with such a history, wlnn elevated by the accident of wealth to n nliiee ou his party's national ticket, i^ fawned upon as though he had lost an ■urn on the field of battle. If our local Grand Army posts want to pass resolutions, they can find material for one every h >ur in the printed works of WHITKLAW Keii>, and not have to ex pose themselves to ridicule, either, as they do when they tackle the Globk, ffHE gAfifT PAUL DAILr GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNING.

The .Legislature Will Also Be Democratic, in Spite of Jt <& the Republicans, And Old "Saw Lo&s" Will Re tire to the Shades of Pri vate Life. h Senator Hompe Places Don nelly's Vote at a Low Fig ure in Otter Tail. The versatile humorist, journalist a lid ; Democratic statesman, Hon. George W. Peck>' governor of Wisconsin, was in St. Paul yesterday.' afternoon. But his stay, unhappily, was brief, else he would have been the honored guest of certain \ Democratic leaders here during the day. Gov. Peck is a peculiar man. For one so conspicuous in the political firma ment, he is an exceptionally modest man. Although so well known and popular that : his presence in any me tropolis -/must create at least a little stir among members of his party as well as - his friends, there, were very few people in St. Paul yesterday who knew that he was really in the city. But he was, and it might be related that perhaps his identity was / largely screened by the nut-brown tan that he brought with him from the North Dakota prairies. . "I've been up in North Dakota look ing at some hinds," said lie in his court eous style. "I have been gone a little less than two weeks. 1 took a gun along as a sort ot side issue, and for this I have gained the reputation of being a sportsman, but 1 will frankly confess to you that 1 did not really get game enough to give me distinction as a crack shot. Stili 1 did bag a number of geese, and goose shooting is royal sport if the geese would only wait for a man to knock 'em down. They have a vexa tious habit, however, of taking wing every time 1 arrive in their neighbor hood. The weather has been too warm for first-class shooting. "As a pleasure trip— well, Iv'e had more agreeable experiences. Riding 150 miles across prairie roads in a com mon lumber wagon 'has no charms for me." said the Badger statesman with a smile. "What do you think of the outlook in Wisconsin, governor?" asked the re porter. "Everything seems promising. I be lieve we will carry tiie state by 30,000 this time. The Democrats are united, and harmony characterizes their ef . forts." "If your predictions are fulfilled, the legislature will be Democratic." "Certainly. We elect a United States senator. If the legislature is Democratic we will send a Democratic successor to Senator Sawyer to Washington." 7 * "You are not a candidate, governor?" , "Oh, no, 1 will not enter the lists, but. there are several very desirable and strong candidates that have been men tioned. Among the leading statesmen and diplomats that are talked or are Gen. Bragg and John Mitchell, of Milwaukee. George W. Pratt, of Oshkosh, .John. Winons. of Janesville, and G. M. Wood-, ward, of La Crosse, also have friends who would like to send them to the senate." ;! : v "If the Republicans should' happen to capture the legislature." pursued Gov. Peck, "they will probably return ; Senator Sawyer. Spooner wanted to succeed Sawyer, but since he has been nominated for governor it is supuosed that he has been positively taken out of ' the line." ; ; . .. ■„ : li KELSU IS STRONG, And Will Get Many Alliance Votes ' in the Seventh District. "Donnelly will get nothing in Otter Tail, as compared to the vote given S. aM. Owen two yers ago," said Senator Hompe at the Merchants' yesterday. "You know the Alliance party in our county is divided, and ; the People's \ party cuts rather small figure. " "What about the congressional can- . vass?" queried the reporter. "Well,, you know that the district went about 8,000 Alliance at the last election. It will not do it . this time, however, owing to a combination of cir cumstances, Feig will get part ot the Alliance vote in Otter Tail; but Kelso, the Democratic candidate, will get a large vote from the Alliance in the bal ance of the district. The Prohibition- ! ists are particularly strong in the fifth j district. They will divide their vote | also; but Boen, the People's party can didate, is very weak. IN HONOR OF COLUMBUS. The Citizens of St. Paul Preparing to Celebrate Oct. 21. .'•? Some fifty prominent citizens, met at the chamber of commerce last night to set on foot a citizens' movement for a Columbian, celebration on Oct. 21. Charles 1. McCarthy was chosen chair man, and then Prof: Carman, principal of the high school, was called upon for an expression. He said that the schools of the city were preparing to celebrate in accordance with the plan made out for all the schools of the nation. "I have come," said he, "hoping to see some definite. . action taken so that the schools may take part in the general celebration. The schools will, of course, celebrate in any event. The programme now is for the children to march out of the high' school building at 9a. in. of that day, salute t>ie national flag, go through with some appropriate exer cises, in which they will sing an ode, written by Edna Dean Howells. It is the intention to have a number of prom inent citizens address them. Then perhaps the scholars will pass through a review. They will march around a . few blocks; not so tar as to tire them out. Now, if there is to -be a general celebration we wish to ■ modify our pro gramme so that thr children can have it prominent part in the exercises. In the parade, if one is given, they cau be con veyed in carriages." ' = ! On motion of Col. Chantler, of the. Dispatch, a committee was appointed to call on the raaj'or to ask if he will co operate. It seems that the Italians of the city are preparing to celebrate the day elaborately, and it is thought they will gladly join :In the : general exercises. The meeting adjourned to Saturday evening, when it is hoped a very large number will be present. P. T. Kava nagh believed that all the societies, re ligious and otherwise, would very gladly join in. coming out in full force. There is little time to spare, and it is hoped enough interest in the movement will be displayed on Saturday evening to encourage the making out of a pro-, gramme without further delay. INVOLVES A LAND GRANT. A Case in the Circuit Court That Will Become a Precedent. The United States circuit court of appeals put in a busy day of it yester day. The most important case probably which has come before the court since its creation, is one submitted yesterday. It involves a principle which sets at issue the title to millions of dollars' worth of the public domain granted to railroads in the halcyon days of the Republican administration, aod which recent legislation has sought to turn back into the domain for the benefit of the actual settler. It may be observed that, such a ceurse was urged by promt nent Democrats in coneress, aud partly accomplished in 1887." The particular land involved is located in Kansas, and was granted in the sixties to the Union Pacific Railroad company. There are a great many of these cases and they arp constantly increasing. The one be fore the coprt yesterday is a test case, upon tho fate of which thirty cases de pend, as it has been stipulated that the others will be determined by the de cision in the case of Henry Burr vs. Carlos S. Greely, which was argued at length before the court. This case involves about fifteen sec lions of land which was originally granted to the Union Pacific railroad in Kansas, and the defendant derived title r from the railroad. The plaintiff claims sepre-emption of the , land, ; based : upon settlement in pursuance of the act of congress, in 1887, which reclaimed so much of the land as had" not been earned by the railroad-by building its road as contemplated by its grant. The claimant is represented by John E. Murray, of Topeka, Kan., ;. who has brought a number of suits, and the de !ffense is represented by A. L. Williams, of Topek»,'who also represents the Union Pacific. The court took great interest in drawing out the points on which the title depends, as evidenced by Judge Caldwell asking a number of pointed questions. - - . .-,. . ...,•■ ] ':? -SAVORING OF THE Ii.VW.

An Ancient Officeholder Who Never Opposes the Man in Power. He Was for Arthur in 1884 and fop Harrison at Min neapolis. The Force Bill Eulogized and Urged as the Main Issue. Primaries to Be Warm This Evening— Hot Legislative Contests. Hon. John ft. Lynch, the colored ex meniber of congress from Mississippi, and liepublicau .stump orator, was given a bigger ovation last night than was given to Knute Nelson a few weeks ago in this city. He had a larger procession, and a larger audience was in Market hall. The audience included a great many white men and women who were doubtless curious to see and here the noted colored orator. Mr. Lynch rode about the city in a carriage with Dr. Murphy, accompanied by a band and a torchlight procession while the crowd at Market hall was being entertained by Judge Carroll and Hon. Hiram F. Stevens. Judge Carroll was introduced by E. P. Wade, the colored janitor at the capitol, and found some embarrassment in filling in the time prior to the arrival of the speaker of the evening:. While he was speaking Hon. Hiram F. Stevens took a seat on the stage and was called for during a pause of the judge, who said he intended to discuss another subject, but would yield to Mr. Stevens, as he was only trying to kill time. Mr. Stevens said he came there to in troduce the speaker or the evening, but he found that he had been introduced to speak himself. He launched out into what proved to be a good speech. He said that if he had lived in the days of Andrew Jackson lie would probably have made him a Democrat, as his readings make him a great admirer of that grizzled warrior and statesman, and r.ould pardon the tew gray-haired Democrats who still vote for him. Mr. Stevens also had a word of compliment for Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill. He then stated he had no excuse to offer for waiving the bloody shirt, and then asserted that the Democrats had declared the war a failure. While Mr. Stevens was talking on the force bill the expected orator arrived, and was greeted with applause as he took a seat on the stand. Mr. Stevens stopped waiving the "bloody shirt," and introduced F. L. McGhee, who made a short speech in which he claimed to be an Irishman, and asserted that Mr. Lynch is also Irish, and that the Republicans are in it while the Democrats are singing "Ta ra-ra boom de aye." Mr. Stevens then introduced the orator of the evening. Mr. Lynch said he came from the far South to give a few reasons, trom a Republican standpoint, why Harrison should be elected, and proceeded to urge the desirability of passing the forco bill so that the colored people can get control of the South He urged the audience not to refrain from beating the Democratic party under the impression that it is dead, but to keep pounding away at it He opuosed Democracy because it believes in state rights and advocates state sov ereignty. Mr Lynch was considerably off on the paper currency, as evidenced by his statement that depreciated paper money was responsible for Mississippi not get ting any benefit from the Pnabody edu cational fund. He probably does not know that the Peabody educational fund was not available until after the war and tlie state Dank era. He said that the only difference be tween a Democratic convention in Min nesota and his state is that the conven tion in the South amounts to an election, while it does not in this state. He said in Minnesota a Republican is a citizen, in the South he is a nigger. The speaker said he was not a tariff stump speaker, but his mission was to discuss the force bill and urge the eiec tion of Harrison at all hazards. He de clared that a colored man cannot be a Democrat; but if he is he cannot go to heaven. "If you want to travel as a gentleman and are a darky you can travel in a tirst-class car in a Republican state," said he, "but if you want to visit me and my plantations— l own plantations in the South, but 1 run them from Washington— you must take a seat in a '.Jim Crow' car." He declared that Democratic states prohibit colored people meeting white people on the same social scale. He said that the Democrats in the South claim they want to keep the negroes from voting the Re publican ticket, because it would put dishonest men into office and allow negro domiuancy. In conclusion he ap pealed to tiie colored voters to help remove Cleveland, whom he declared to be the mainstay of Democracy, and to elect Harrison, go that the colored men in the South may get control of that country. SHOUTING FOB KFFECT. Meeting of the Kepublican State Central Committee. There was a full attendance at the meeting of the Kepublican state central committee, and the time was devoted to bracing up each other's courage. Every body said his part of the state was all right, but just what tangible facts he based the assertion upon was not clear: probably the fact tnat the state had been in the habit of going Repub lican. Some of the members from the northern part of the state reported that Nelson was gaining up there, and that made all the rest feel good, and so ev erybody turned in and shouted for a season. The conclusion was finally reached that the state would give a plurality of from 18,000 to 30.000. At the afternoon session it was voted to hold two or three weeks hence a meet ine of the chairmen of all the county committees. KNUTE AND THE SAGE. A Joint Debate Would. Be Amus ing to the Audience. Ignatius Donnelly and Knute Nelson are billed by chance to speak on the same nisht at Qawley. and that Oct. 17. Mr. Donnelly accepts an opportunity to corner Mr, Nelson into a joint discus sion. The following letter was there tore indited to Mr. Jamison, cnairnian of the Republican central committee, and handed him by a member of the IVople's party, so that the Republicans could not dodge ths issue by alleging that the challenge was not received: To Robert Jamison, Chairman Republican State Central Committee. St. Paul, Minn.— DfarSir: I find that Ignatius Donnelly and Hon. Knute Nelson are both to toeak in the town of Hatvley, at the same time, viz., Mon day, Oct. 17. On behalf of Mr. Donnelly I beg leave to challenge Mr. Nelson to a joint debate at that time and place on the issues of the day. I will be glad to confer with you as to the proper division of time and other details. Very respectfully, yours, Louis Haksojt. Secretary People's Party Central Committee. St. Paul, Oct. 5, 1892. Republican headquarters was visited last evening to see what action had been decided upon with reference to the challenge. Mr. Jamison was not there, but Mr. Bixby aald that the letter reached there after the adjournment of the meeting of the central committee, hence no action could be decided upon. Probably no attention would be paid to it; bat as to that he could uot state. FUN THIS EVENIXO. Candidates for Places on the lie- publican Ticket Are Legion. The Republican primaries this even ing promise to be more exciting than usual. There will be but one or two wards in the entire city that will not have two or more ticuets in the field. In the First, Second and Seventh wards the hardest fighting will be over the legislative delegates,while in the Third, Fourth. Sixth and Ninth the county ticket will receive the most attention.- In the Seventh ward the contest be tween C. W. Hackett and Hiler H. Ilorton has become very warm indeed, and yesterday the Hackett men pulled down the ticket put up under the auspices of the McGill club and have reconstructed it. The fight up there seems to be between the youne men and the old-timers, and the former have the best of it up to the present. In the Third ward (J. M. Orr expects to defeat the veteran Dr. Murphy, and in the Second \V. L. Ames is set down as a sure winner over A. J. Hoban, Frank Dayton, and a half-dozen others. •In the First ward Scott McDonald will give Charles Wallblom a stiff battle, but the contest is against great odds, and McDonald's winning is exceedingly problematical. In the Fourth ward there will be a pretty contest between Capt. Ed Bean and his erstwhile lieutenant, Henry Johns. The latter has tried to persuade the public to believe that he will have no opposition, but this is not the case. He is opposed by the managers of Sen ator Davis, who do not trust Johns. They believe that at heart Johns is not a Davis man, and for tiiis reason "Cor die" Severance has been working on Bean, endeavoring to induce him to enter the race. If Bean does this he is to be made United States marshal, to succeed Mr. Donahouer. The Fifth ward will have no less than four legislative tickets in the field for the following candidates: Barney Zim merman. Mike Ward, Fred Kichter and Walter Bock. The chances favor Mr. Zimmerman. In the Eighth ward A. F. Gauger has been as good as selected for the sacrifice. In the Tenth, Eleventh and country district no victim has yet been agreed upon, although W. VV. Clark is talked of. The contest for places on the county ticket will be warm. There are no end of candidates for every place in sight, and a great deal of bad timber has been entered. G. P. Kttt or Charley Keller will get the nomination for auditor, Walt Jensen will be named for treas urer; George N. Warner, the adminis tration candidate for sheriff, F. W. Zoll man for county attorney and S. E. Olm stead for judge of probate. Doty and Freaney are to be toned down because they are supposed to entertain doubts as to the quality of the reform the city is getting at present. POLITICAL NOTES. What the Politicians Are Doing in the Various Wards. The First Ward Scandinavian-American club had a rousing ratification meeting last ni^ht at 815 Payne avenue. Louis Fergusen, the legislative candidate, and the newly nominated county ticket were given a good send-off by several speakers.

Rt. Hey. Henry Benjamin Whipple, bishop of Minnesota, took the place of Bisbop Williams in conducting the com munion service, as the senior preiate was not strong enough to officiate. The sermon was preached by Rt. Rev. Richard Hooker Willmer. Near the close of his sermon Bishop Willmer seemed to faltei. and shortly thereafter became ill and left the pulpit. The house of bishops assembled at 3:30 p. m. and organized by the re-elec tion of Rev. Dr. Talmick,"rector of St. John's church, San ford, Conn., as sec retary.

A New Cruiser to Have One-Hun dred-Poot Smokestack. Washington, Oct. s.— The plans for the new Armored Cruiser No. 3, for which bids were asked last week, in clude a radical innovation in the con struction of war ships. The three smokestacks will be each 100 feet high, which is from thirty to forty feet higher than the stacks of any other'war ship in the United States navy. The increased height will give additional draught and do away with the necessity of forced draught in ordinary steaming. It will also carry the smoke and gas from the furnaces above the military masts of the ship and give the men in the tops a ; chance to work without -beine smoKed out by their own people. The -high stacks have been adopted by the Britisn merchant steamer Scot in the trade to the channels, and perform ..the work . admirably, but the cruiser will be tlio tirst naval vessel to carry them. A MICHIGAN HOLOCAUST. Two Men Burned to Death in «>. Fire at Howell. Howei/l, Mich., Oct. 5.— A fire broke out in - the business center on Grand street, and soon : had . burned a whole store.

Hickey and the latter Darwin Mines, a prominent builder of this place. Both bodies were badly charred and mutilated, being almost unrecognizable. : SHEPARD'S SCHEME. He Wants Every Wednesday of the World's Fair Set Aside for YVorkinginen. Then He Wants the Railroads to Make a Flat Rate of $1 for the Round Trip Chicago. Oct. 5. — Col. Elliott F. Shepard, of the New York Mail and Express, called on the city officers this afternoon to introduce a plan by which he hopes to bring 750,000 workingmen to Chicago every Wednesday during the world's fair te r m.
