It was in the possession of sqnatters and Caruvanges had often at tempted to make them pay rent. Hi* trip was fer the purpose of enforcing payment. The squatters learned of this and decided on the death of Don Luis, drawing lota as to who should commit the murder. Fcur men were selected, and they ambushed and assas sinated Caravanges and his servant. When word of the crime reached Durango the governor telegraphed to the captain of the rangers at Tapona and he proceeded with a body of picked men to the scene of the tragedy. There he learned the particulars of the plot and the names of the consmrators. They were arrested without difficulty. Sixteen of the 22 have been summarily shot to death. The others, who tested, may be spared.

London, Jane 1.—There was a fair attendance in the house of commons, notwithstanding the attractions of the Derby. Viscount Wolmer, Lord Salisbury’s son-in-law, and a Liberal Unionist, moved as an ameudment to the home rule bill that the Irish legislature should not be empowered to grant votes in supply respecting matters upon which they were forbidden to legislate.

The openiug address was delivered by Major Ma- Ginnia, who spoke in glowing terms of ( the brilliant future before that state. When he had finished, Mrs Richards, of Montana, stepped forward, and taking up a small silken cord, gave it a gentle pull, and the stars and stripes which had enfolded the silver image of “Jus tice” fell away and exposed the statne. In height the statne stands eight feet and three inches. Chicago, May 31.—Late indications give promise of a lively shaking np in the bnrean of admissions pretty soon, and it is qnite likely that the present superintendent will be called upon to explain some of the workings of his original pass system. Something has gone wrong with the business some where, for it is a noteworthy fact that although the number of people on the grounds may figure up into many thou sands more one day than another, the actual paid admissions do not increase accordingly. It was at first charged intimated that gatekeepers and ticket TRAMMELL AGREED UPON.- He Will Get HI* Commission as Collector About August. Washington, June 1. — Secretary Carlisle has stated he had determined to appoint Hon. Paul Trammell, of Whitfield county, collector of internal revenue tor Georgia, and that'his name had been sent to the president. The reason he does not commission him now is that he has accepted Mr. Johnson's resignation to go into effect 31st of August, and if he were to com mission him it would take two months off of his time, as all appointments date from the time of the commission. GRAND ROTUNDA OF THE WORLDS FAIR TERMINAL STATION. takers were in collusion in using tickets a second and third time, and it was also given out to the press that several ar rests had been made and more would follow. This may have been a proper means of remedying the evil, but if it was, it has signally failed in the accom- airil not from the date of going j plishment^of its intended purpose. The Mr. Trammell’s appointment has been agreed upon since two weeks after the inauguration. Eugene Kelly, treasurer of the IrUh Federation of America, has cabled t»tae trustees of the Irish National party, 15.00), making a total of $19.00) cabled by him during the present session of parlia ment. board of management are beginning to see the errors and abuses of one of the most absurd pass systems ever in vogue and if is from this cause most startling effects may follow. In their investigation so far they have found that the photographic pass with detachable couDons is not onlv the thus having a record of the passes used, is thwarted by persons tearing out the coupon, throwing it away and going in with a i)ass check, which they secured the evening before as they passed out, simply because the operation is quicker, and thus the record intended to be kept is lost. Then, on account of the issuance of these return checks to parties having photographic passes, under the present system, it is necessary to keep em ployed at $2 per day 28 men at the 28 gates, besides the relief, and the fur ther time necessary to keep count and record of these slips makes in all an ex pense of over $150 per day, which might have been avoided had the super intendent of the bureau of admission adopted tbe simple, plain photo pass so successfully and satisfactorily used at the Centennial exposition. But it is in the use of the working men's pass where the greatest abuse and mismanagement of the pass privi lege comes in. A card pass issued to Tom Biggsler or any other name is given to workmen, on the bottom of which appears a row of figures, one for every day of the month for which the pass was'issued. It was originally in tended to punch the figures represent ing that date as the workman passed in the gates. No punches have been used and as the passes are good for any per son presenting them, workmen go in today, get a pass for the whole month, they are absent tomorrow, but their friends are not. There is 50 cents saved—to the workman. Then, again, the workman wants to work that day, and his friend wants to see the fair. It is not a difficult matter for a number of them to hire a messen >r to carry letters to their friends, and ms 10, 20 or a larger number of per sons come in from one working gang. A workman is discharged, and some times his pass is taken np and some times it is not. One authentic instance shows that four persons passed in at one gate on the same pass within 10 minutes' time simply by one passing in and then handing it out to a confeder ate who stood by the exit turnstile. ^ A committee appointed at a meeting of the executive officers and commis sioners of the several states and territo ries has drafted an appeal to the rail road and steamboat corporations asking that the fares on the different lines to and from Chicago be reduced imme diately. The appeal is made especially in the interest of farmers, laborers, mechanics, employes, pupils, etc., and it is asked that round-trip tickets goo.i on all roads be sold for one fare, to ei* able the citizens of the several states and territories to avail themselves ui educational and other advantages pre sented by the fair.

WILD ANIMALS AT LARGE, And Cause Consternation Anions the Na tives—Besides the Killed, Them Were Many People Badly Hurt, More May Die Tyrone, Pa., May 31.—A special train on the Tyrone and Cleargeld rail road, composed of Walter Main’s cirene cars, got beyond the control of the train men and came down the mountain with fearful rapidity. At Yail station the train was wrecked, and the animals, men and broken cars were piled up together. Several lions and tigers made their escape, and only after the greatest exertion were they recaptured, and then not until one of the tigers had killed several domestic animals in the neighborhood. Six men were killed ontright, 12 or 14 others badly wounded, some of them fatally. The circus is a complete wreck and will take several days to get the property together. The wreck is one of the worst that hss occurred on this division and the worst in the number of lives lost. 1893 JUNE. 1893 Su. Mo. Tu. We. Th. Fr.
