As a Presidential Possibility. 1
VALPARAISO, Ind., June 27.—The
movement to mare Hon. C. G. Conn,
congressman from the Thirteenth Indi-
ana district, a presidential possibility is
rapidly taking shape. Private letters
received here and at Elkhart, Mr. Conn’s
home, state that the work of the Indiana
delegation in promoting his interests is
bearing fruit, and that Mr. Conn is re-
ceiving hundreds of letters from all sec-
tious of the country. Congressman Hol-
man is quoted as saying that the Indi-
ana congressman is the best piece of
presid ntial timber in the west, because
of his wide popularity with all classes,
and especially with the laboring men.
No political gossip has created more in-
terest in the Hoosier state than the
coupling of the name of Charles Girard
Conn with the presidency. Conn
will be organized throughout the
teenth district..

drowned in the Patoka at Jasper while
trying to escape from the city marshal.
Young Tucker had just finished a jail
sentence for drunkenness, and on being
liberated was rearrested on an old
charge of assault with intent to kill. On
the way to jail Tucker escaped from the
officer and ran about a mile, when he
reached the Patoka, which he attempted
to swim. Some boys saw him sink
when near the opposite bank and it was
believed that he had reached the shore
in safety and made good his escape, un-
til his body was found entangled in the
branches of a tree a short distance from
where he sank.
the palace the body was r ceived by the
officers of the late president’s civil
household and conveyed to one of the
reception rooms, which previously had
been converted into a mortuary chapel
hung with black cloth and having a cat-
afalque in its center upon which in silver
letters was the initial, "C.," over the let-
ters, "R. F.” (Republique Francaise).
The widow was so overcome with emo-
tion when the casket was placed in the
mortuary chapel she was compelled to
retire to her private room, where her
sons did their utmost to console her.

The feeling against Italians in par-
ticular and foreigners in general aroused
by the assassination of President Carnot
has caused several factories in this city
to discharge all foreigners in their em-
ploy and it is expected the same course
will be adopted by other factories. It is
hoped, however, when the sympathetic
action of King Humbert of Italy, the
Italian chambers and Premier Crispi be-

stench, and the other residents of the
block want the authorities to take some
action. The commissioner is investi-
gating the matter.

ing from indignation of the people at the

tinued throughout the night. Crowds
thronged the streets and in spite of the
efforts of the police and military sacked
Italian stores and taverns and after
throwing their contents into the streets
made bonfires of everything combustible.
The police frequently charged the rioters
who, however, always retreated before
the officers of the law, seeming de-
termined to demonstrate the fact that
they were vindictive aga not Italians
only, and not seeking a conflict with the
authorities.
Many Italians bir ly escaped with
their lives. Wholesale pillage reigned
supreme in Lyons and a number of

Chinatown In Mourning.
St. Louis. June 27.—Chinatown,
which is located in the vicinity of Eighth
and Walnut streets, has been full of
sorrow. The reason was that Lee Jim,
a member of the colony, had died sud-
denly without medical attendance. He

tor of a grocery st ore at 17 South Eighth
street, and had, been sick for three days.
