The strikers threw stones and cinders and flourished their club ; . The policemen used their maces and drove the strikers back inch by inch. The strikers fell by the score , or reeled away with blood streaming down their faces.

Tbero was a renewal of war rumors during the day , and toward the close of the regular board , and again on the aftorno on board there was a frantic ecramblo by "fthortu" to cover which carried pricoj for September up to 1)3 ) Cents.

STARTLING CONDITIOK3 REVEALED UNDER TUB GLASS. CHICAGO , 111 , , July 15. The three Chicago exports who have been working on the poisoned beef from Momeno * made partial reports to-day of the result of their examina tion ! . Prof , G. A. Mariner reports that the microscopical examination showed conclu sively that the difficulty was not duo to tiychlnao or worms or such living organisms , It showed however that there were numerous micrococci and other kinds of bacteria such as _ accompanied and indicated decomposition in the meat and the presence olw poisonous alkaloldos called ptomalns , to which the dlscato was duo , Dr , Gradlo thought the sickness was caused by an alka loid poison formed in the meat by putrlfac- tion and proposed to cultivate the microeocci tibi isolation and experiment on some oiT the lower animals. Henry L , Tolman stated that the moat was over-salted and over-cured , as if to cover up ] the fact that it was bad , Parts of it wore swarming with micrococci , which had in some places totally destroyed the fibres , leav ing only n inets of detnitua. They appeared tc Invade the eatcolemma first , thickening it , and then attacked the muscular fibres , When floated oil into a mixture of glycerine and water they showed their characteristic action. The disease at Momanco waa un doubtedly ' cauiod by them but further exami nation waa necessary before deciding whether the animal from which the boot was made waa tld diseased : before it was killed or whether the moat had begun to putrlfy before it was cured. The latter seemed to be tbo more likely.

WEARING THE HUSTIiK An Article of Feninlo Apparel That Threatens to Kcncli the Knot- monn 8l7.o What the Una- tlo IB Usually Com posed or. Chicago JNows. Ono of the moat vexed and unsettled problems of women's npparol is that of the bustle , known in the parlance of the French modiste and the utter swell as the "tonnre. " There la a never ceasing dispute about where it shall begin nnd where it shall stop. There Is continuous agitation in regard to its proportions. It has made ita appearance In civilized countries In every shape , from the old- time hoop akirt to a small bng filled with cotton or hair to bo worn on the back. It haa boon construe ted cf wlro , of steel , of stiff-starched materials , made in rolls , fastened tagothor , horizontally and verti cally , in the ahapo of a crescent and also In the ahapo of a coflln. It has boon milled and puffed , tucked , and bent out ward by the Insertion of whalebone. But the bustle that shall bo desirable In all particulars , never got out of place and veer round to ono side , giving ono hip the semblance of abnormal development , that shall contribute the requisite praco and fullness to the draperies of the dress , is yet an indlacoverod boon. To achieve thla mnch-songht-fer perfect bustle re quires either the exorcise of masterly genius or a revision of the entire female anatomy ao that there shall bo no varia tion whatever In typo , every woman being - ing blocked out of the aolf-aamo cash A bustle universally applicable Is no moro possible than the construction of a universal shoo. The tall and slender ono may wear a long hair-cloth skirt , milled rjp the back to the waist , bnt her short sister , who verges on the fat line , wonld look In the same garment na If her skirts were stretched over a tub. The woman with fall , round hips , with a suggestion of embonpoint , can wear only n small , round bnatlo nt the top of her dreas , while aho who la fat and eqnare of shape , with no hip to notice , can wear bnatlo all around and no ono suspect It. Certain women must have their draperies fastened low to prevent an appearance of bnnohinoss. Others require them arranged high. Some must went them plain , and others look well only when they are bouffant. Each of these dis tinct types needs a different style of bustle. The bustle , of Itself , projects directly from the back , without fullness so far round as the curves of the sides. Ladles who have no curves at the aides supplement them with rolls of hair. Those must be fastened securely ooneath the skirts , directly on the hips , for when they slip out of place the effect Is very grotesque. The tendency Is toward an increase. In the size of the tenure in thla country. Enormous bustles are anticipated. The development in thla direction Is already greater than ever before. These largo bustles are veiy cumbersome and heavy ta wear , and , If made of wlro and stool , are decidedly uncomfortable. The Hottest and most comfortable bustle Is made of long rolls filled with hair and fastened together vertically. It Is es pecially commended to invalids , for It gives the sensation of sitting down on a pillow. The materials need for bustles are hair , hair-cloth , tamplco , various wash goods , stool wires and springs. The beat bustle for average wear is a pad filled with hair. This is often fastened In the skirt by the dressmaker. Long steel springs _ are sometimes inserted in the dross skirts , and used in conjunction with thoao pads to give tbo desired lines of grace. It is dlliicult , however , to shape them to the figure , and they are apt tomako the skirts flap from aide to aide. Tbo space below pad la better filled with flounces on the Inner skirt , which will prevent that un- dcairablo sinking In from whore tbo hue- tlo ceases. The hair cloth bustle is de- elrablo for many roaions ; and for toll ladles nothing la so satisfactory aa the hair-cloth skirt. White hair-cloth skirts cost from $0 to f 8j gray onoa $5 or $6 , Many ladles wear dating the summer weather a hair-cloth skirt nnd ono of muslin , making these two garments , with balbriggan vest , pants , and a corset con stitute their under garments fcr hot weather. Hair-nloth bustles , when well made , keep in shape , outlast several bus tles of every other kind , and do not occa sion pain or dlicomfott , For many ail ments the wearing of n heavy bustle Is the very worst thing possible. The ma jority of women are oarelots about the ad justment of their bustles and skirts , and the result ii that two-thlrda of the ladles who are seen on the streets make a not altogether centeol appearance.

The platform is one of unusual length it saye : "We declare our resolute opposition to the present federal administration as the fit creature of the immoral faithless relations of apostate republicans with the national democracy and as the natural product of folly , fraud , force and perfidy which bos already displayed all the traits of its , origin by proclaiming _ _ _ _ . a test _ . for _ _ office that . n T * * 1 * !
