ABLE SHOWING.
Chicago, Oct. 27. Business was gen
erally suspended in -Chicago today and
the city gave itself up to the "Pros
perity" parade. The prediction of
pleasant weather was amply fulfilled,
the brightly shining sun and the soft
balmy atmosphere making an ideal au
tumnal day. Every industry of the
city was represented in the floats' that
interspersed the procession and each
marcher wore a foadge containing the
words:
"McKinley Was All Right."
Among those occupying the review
ing stands were United States Senator
Hanna, chairman of the republican
committee; Vice Chairman Henry C.
Payne, National Committeemen Stew
art, New and Kerens - and United
States Senators Cullom and Mason, of
Illinois. The. parade started' at 10
oclock. All along the route the busi
ness houses. and office buildings were f
profusely decorated with the national
colors and streamers bearing the le
gend "McKJnley Was Right," "Sound
Money and iProsperity," and kindred
inscriptions, together wdth representa
tions of "The Full Dinner Pail."
At the head of the parade -walked two
elephants (bearing banners inscribed.
'G. O. P. The Real Thing." Behind
the two pachyderms followed a don
key bedecked with bells and a clown
ish cap upon Its head. Further bak
in the column was a stuffed elephant
drawn by horses, Tbts elephant led
the advance of the Hamilton club of
Chicago, which escorted the Americus
club of 1 Pittsburg . Another large, dele -
gation was the Kenosha, Wis., repub-
ican marching club of seven hundred
members. In the line of parade were
regiments of men in uniform, from
scores, of business houses which, to
gether with the banks, stock exchange
and board of trade had closed for the
occasion.
These marchers carried "Full Dinner
Pails' and banners.
XThe workmen's republican clubs,
conspicuous among which were several
resenttagr the large packing houses of
the stock yards, made a notable show-
ng, as did the uniformed division of
the Cook -county republican legion, at
tired In feftaki, under the leadership of
Congressman . Williami Lorimer.
T&urougiout the parade the industrial
features were unique.
A - notable section was the republi
can students' league, comprising del

of William Mansh Rice, reports that he
found mercury and arsenic in the

Albert T. Patrick and Charles F.
Jones, counsel and private secretary
respectively for the late William M.
Rice, are held to await the action of
the grand jury. Bail was fixed at

check pr $25,000 drawn on the banking
firm of Swenson & Sons. The check
was made payable to Mr. Patrick.
The check was presented, at the bank
for certification, and owing to an error
in the spelling of Patrick's name, held

ItHGLAIIO DISCUSSING
AMERICAN COMPETITION
jBritUh llannfactoreri Alarmed at our
Growing Success.
London, Oct. 21. t-There has been a
most significant manifestation of pub
lie Opinion in England, especially this.
week, upon a question of which Ameri
ca should take -tibe fules cognizance.
American competition principally iri
the foreign and colonial markets has
reached such proportions that Great
Britain is now thoroughly alarmed.
Even now the chief cause of American
success ds not recognized. The fatal
handicap of the British manufacturer
is arbitrary restriction of trades unions
which limits the amount of-work ma
chines and men shall do. The effect
is to make labor, when measured by
actual accomplishment instead of by-
daily wages, far more expensive in
I England than anywhere in fheworld.
ine oanger or Americans securing
vast contracts for railway extension in
South Africa is the principal text of
debate now going on in the British
press. There are loud ' demands to
make British manufacture the condi
tion of all contracts, against which a
few writers protest with the obvious
question why should South Africa be
taxed unnecessarilv for thp hfmpfit nf
a few Englisfh manufacturers. Nobody
undertakes to discover why English
firms cantn'ot deliver goos within a rea-
sonable time and at prices within 20
per cent of American quotations

PUNISHMENT
OF BOXERS
The Matter Discussed at a
Meeting of the Foreign
Ministers at Pekin. J
A Formal Protest Made by
Minister Conger.
Against Reported Intention of Chinese
to Depose Friendly Viceroys.
Serious Result Might Follow Such
Treatment of Thess Official! .
REPLY RECEIVED TO LI HUNG
CHANG'S MEMORIAL TO THE
THRONE -THE EMPEROR MUST
WAIT UNTIL THE BOARD OF PUN
ISHMENT ACTS.
Pekin, Oct. 26. The foreign minis-
I ters held a' meeting today at the house
of the Spanish minister. The session
lasted two hours and the only question
discussed was the punishment of tha
Chinese officials responsible for the
boxer outbreak. There was no disa
greement as to the punishment that
should be given. An adjournment was
taken until October 28, and the Inten
tion is to hold further meetings before
a conference is held with Prince Ching
and Li Hung Chang, the Chinese peace
com m i ss loners .
Much alarm is felt over the reported
intention of the 'Chinese to'depose the
viceroys of Nanking and Wuchang,
who have ibeen friendly 'Xxy the foreign
ers. Li Hung Chang told Minister
Conger that the report was untrue, but
the report was repeated to Conger to
day, and he formally protested against
such action . It is believed .that depos
these officials would seriously block
the peace negotiations and probabllr
lead to the destruction of the Manchu
dynasty. Li Hung Chang memorial
ized the throne October 23 demanding
the punishment of the (boxer Chinese
and received the reply that the emper
or must wait until (the hoard of punish
ment acts. The report of the natural
death of Yang Yi .president of ' the
board of war, and Tung Fu Hsiang, a
pro-boxer commander in the north, s
confirmed. They were included in the,
emperor's recent decree for punishmnt
of certain officials. Tuan and Chwing
are no longer with the court and their
whereaJbouts are unknown .
