ing the monument to the lute Presi
dent Carnot here, today, or the lunch
eon tendered to President Loubet by
the chamber of commerce which fol
lowed tiie unveiling, ulthough the
socialist com It tec had posted bills
calling upon ltn followers to make a
demonstration In protest against the
chamber of commerce, which Is re
garded by them as clerical and reac
tionary.
M. Loubet was greeted with over
whelming acclamation, although oeci
etoni llv along the route cries of "Vive
la Soelale revolution!’' was heard
mingled with denunciations of tho
clerical party. A few groups were
dispersed by the police, hut nothing 1
in the nature of any organized detn- !
castration developed.
There was an Imposing mobillzaMon
of troops all along the route to the
monument. Cavalry, Infantry and ar
slon, which consisted of forty carrl
and in the squares, rendering another
Carnot assassination Impossible. The
president’s carriage was surrounded
by cuirassiers. The entire city j.a.s
hung with flags and the crowd was
immense. M. Walde< k-Kousseau, the
premier, M. de i,enaflBan, minister of
marine, and M. Millerand, minister of
commerce, participated In the proces
sion, which consisted of forty carri
ages. M. Wuldeck-Kousseaii and M.
_ Millerand were warmly cheered on
their arrival at the Place de la Repub- j
ltque, where the statue stands. M
Loubet sat in the tribune, surrounded
by the ministers, the mayor of Lyons
and other municipal functionaries.
Mem Iters of the Carnot family occu
pied front seats.
The state having been unveiled, the
mayor spoke of the glorious traditions
of the Carnot family and recalled the
fact that Sadi Carnot had repressed
Boulangcrism
M. waiuei-k -Kottsseau eulogized Car
not's personal qualities and his devo
tion to democratic principles. Cheers
followed his declaration that "adver
saries of the republic, against whom
Carnot struggled a decade ago have
not yet disappeared, and only yester
day the government had to defend the
republic against, them."
The procession was then reformed
and proceeded to the prefecture, where
the official presentation took place.
Replying to an address of homage
by Cardinal Pierre Hector Coullie,
Archbishop of Lyons. M. Loultet said: ,
“I must seize this opportunity to j
demolish the myth that the govern- I
rnent is the enemy of any religion, i
worship or belief whatsoever. The
government takes too high a stand not
to respect all and to enforce respect
for all.
“I am sure that the clergy on their
side will understand this and will
make it understood by all Catholics.
This understanding must have been is
a basis a loyal and complete observ
ance of the laws of the country.
"I am convinced that the social
{teacc which you desire will become
stronger and stronger for the welfare !
of the country and its Institutions,
which the country ~n every occasion
declares a firm Intention to mam- i
tain."

ed in quarters well versed in Chinese
a Hails that outside of the questions of
Indemnity, punishments, etc., now un
der negotiation at Pekin, there are
throe vital and far n u lling question*
to lie determinted, viz. First, the re
moval of the cmpros* dowager, pci son
ally and through .he Influence of her
advisers, from all participation in the
Chinese goveininent; second, the cre
ation of an Indemnity fund by the In
crease of China's customs revenue,
either by the payment of duties In
gold instead of depreciated silver, as at
present, or else by doubling the pres
ent silver dutlcfc from fi per cent to 10
per cent ad valorem; third, the estab
lishment of a minister of foreign af
fnirs In place of the old and cumber
some system of the tsuug li yamen.
The demand for the retirement of
the empress dowager is said to result
from tlie conclusion now generally ac
cepted. that the iin|m*rial government
of China wa.; responsible for the Boxer
uprising. As the empress dowager
was the ruling authority of the impe
rial government dming the uprising
this responsibility is brought home di
rectly to her. There is understood t>
be no purpose, however, to visit upon
her any personal punishment or indig
nity, but merely to so form the recon
structed government as to exclude her
from all participation in it. It is
deemed advisable for that reason that
she should remain permanently away
from Pekin, and that her advisers also
should lie kept away frjm the seal of
government
i ne plan oi iioiiuiing < lima s cus
toms duties has arisen from tho need
of finding a source to pay war indem
nities which the various popwera de
mand. It appears, however, that the
increase of the duties has heretofore
been brought to the attention of tho
United States government by Id Hung
Chang. 'Phis occurred during bis visit
to Washington a few years ago, when
it wus represented that the 5 per cent
was fixed in 1858 by treaties with the
United States. Great Urtialn and other
countries and was payable in silver,
at which time silver was worth as
much as gold. Hut with the change in
value between silver and gold, Id Hung
Chang points out that China’s 5 per
cent duty in silver actually netted only
about 2V1t per cent, judged by the pre
vailing gold standard. The matter was
not pressed at the time,
China's present customs revenues
are said to be already pledged to meet
the Interest and principal of Chinese
loans, so that it will require some en
tirely new source to meet the indemni
ties. In case the enlarged duties are
determined upon, it is understood that
their colleetion will be placed under
supervision of representatives of the
powers, at least until the Indemnities
are paid. The plan of substituting a
minister of foreign affairs In place of
the tsung II yamen lias long been in
contemplation, hh foreign representa
tives have found it very difficult to
deal with this mixed body and to lo
cate responsibility upon it. particularly
during the Uoxer troubles.
Kftiae Iteil Flag of Anarchy.
CHICAGO, Nov, 3.— Socialist labor
orators raised the red flag in Stale
street tonight and were driven off the
thoroughfare by the police, who veie
compelled to interfere to stop a riot.
It was socialistic labor night and th
Debs speakers used half a dozen wag
ons to speak from along the street.
There were frequent clashes between
the speakers amt the big crowds who
gathered around the stands. Shortly
nfter midnight the socialists becanv
bolder and red flags were raised on
every wagon. The red flag wus ver>
large and in contrast was hung a flag
of the United States of very small di
menslons. The crowd took hII this
good uatmedly until some of the
Debs speakers began kicking at the
American flag. In a moment there wa*
confusion and along the street several
of the orators were draggtd from their
wagons and roughly handled.

been a problem I efore the council and
the solution is yet in doubt. When
the water works were first started an
attempt to secure a sufficient, supply
tailed, because each time the shafts
penetrated a salt strata, which made
the water unlit for use. The plan
was ulmndoned and the pumping sta
tion was placet) on the hanks of Dong
Branch, a email stream, and the sup
lily has since been sufficient, hut by
reason of mud t.nd filth is practically
useless the greater portion of the time
for household purposes, The council

and the workmen have already begun,
and t.he hope prevails that the city
may soon have a fresh water supply.

book safe In the J. D. Spearman Lank
whh blown open by burglar* at 1
o'clock In the morning. It was tin tin
successful attempt at robbery, how
evt r. as nothing Wus secured excepting
a revolver belonging to the hank. The
hank* funds are kept In a large Mosler
safe and this was evidently too formid
able looking for the craeMmen, as it
was not molested. The explosion of
the wrecked safe was a terrffle one and
wakened several people. L. A. Hates,
living a block away, ran down art alley
and wan on the scene In a few seconds.
Three men were standing at the rear
of the building, lie was unarmed, and
while he went for assistance the rob
bers escaped. The Beatrice bloodhounds
arrived at noon and getting the trail,
led the way to Gretna.
Three tough harking characters
headed from this direction arrived at
Gretna bespattered with mud and ap
pearing worn out from a long run.
They attempted to catch a train out
of that town, but failed end walked
down the track toward Chaleo. The
dogs did not hesitate a minute in
Gretna, but went straight toward Chal
eo.
The only damage resulting to the
bank was the wrecking of the safe
doof and a line typewriter, which wan
smashed bv the sleel facing of the
door, which was blown across the room
where It knocked a window casing Into
splinters. The living steel also broke
a knob off the door of the large Mosler
safe. This is only one of the many
burglaries committed In this county
lately and If caught the perpetrators
will he prosecuted to the extent of the
law.
