OPENED WITH CHEERS The Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel at Port Huron, EFFORTS OF WESTERN RAIN MAKERS. Sir Julian Pauncefote Refuses to Be Interviewed. HEAT IN THE NORTHWEST. THE PORT HURON TUNNEL, Ceremonies Attendant Upon the Opening of the Big Passage. |. Port Hegox, Mrcu., Sept. 19.—The cere- monial attendant upon the opening of the Grand Trunk railway tunnel under the St. Cwuir river at this point was begun last even- | ing with a banquet tendered by the citizens of Port Huron to Sir Heury Tyler, president, Goneral Manager Sargeant and Chief Engincer Hobson of the Grand Trunk road. All the trains arriving ut Port Huron and Sarnia today had distinguished guests who were [to take the first official ride through the | great tunnel. These two cities never before have had the honor of entertaining #o many mon who are identified with the politi | mereial interests of the American coutinent. | Most of the visitora went to the hotels of tI | two cities and did not go direct to Poiut E werd to make the start with the maugural train. They met the train at convenieut points later. ‘THY ISAUOURAL TRAIN. At Point Edward not much more than the usual bustle was to be noticed. A special train with four ordinary day couches was drawn up in front of the station with a big seventy-ton en ein readiness for the trip. At 12:30 eastern time Sir Henry Tyler waved his hand and the inaugural train etarted. [Ufypuiled directly to the Sarnia depot which a number of invited guests and citizens of Sarnia were taken aboard. Then the train steamed out to the edge of the town to reach ol the approach to the tur unfinished depot, a triumphal arch ‘had been erected. Here also Mayor Watson and the offi- cials of the town of Sarnia met the president of the Grand Trunk railway, and the inayor read an address. President Tyler made @ brief speech of ac- ceptance of this address. The company, with the Sarnia ofticials, boarded the train and pro- eveded on the trip through the tunnel. THROUGH THE TUNNEL. When they arrived on the other side they passed through another triumphal arch, where Mayor MeIIwain and the Port Huron city oft- cials were waiting onaplatform to receive them. A large assemblage of citizens was also present. As soon ax the railway officials stepped from the cars Port Huron’s big, hand- some mayor came to the front und read an address. At the conclusion of the reading tho mayor presented Sir Henry ‘Tyler with an engrossed copy of the address, and Sir Henry responded with a neat specch of thanke. The people cheered and waved their handkerchiefs and the train pviled out to the Chicago and Grand ‘Trunk passenger station, where ull got off and embarked on the steamer Omar D. Conger for Sarnia. The stops had been short ateach place and the guests arrived at the freight sheds, which had been improvised into a banquet hall, shortly before 2 o'clock. AT THE BANQUET HALL. Noone would have suspected that the building was an old freight shed. The exterior deceived the eye by being almost covered with green fir boughs and the interior was festooned with flags and bunting until the bare rafters and ugly wall were not to be seen. The floor was covered with cloth and the snowy tables with glistening silver and rich tloral pieces. On the €ast side were three long tables, running with the building, the guests facing the river. At the other side were wix- teen short tables set crosswise. At the center of the middle long table sat Sir Henry Tyler. To his right was Sir John Ross, ¢ommander-in-chief of the troops in Canada. ‘To the left sat Gov. Winans. Others on the left were Senator ith, one of the directors of the Grand Trunk, United States Conenl General Knapp of Moutroal, D. Meln- Here, near the tyre, Congressman J. Chipman, Senator Boulton of Ottawa, Ad arrar, Hou. Mr. Ross of the Ontario cabinet, J. Lister, Mf. for Lampton county and Senator Vidal of nia. To the right. after passing Sir John Ross, were Sir Casimir Geowtki, L. J. Seargent, gen- eral manager of the Grand Trunk syste Kichard Harcourt of the Ontario cabin Erastus Wiman, the Canadian citizen and one of the big moguls of Gotham; John Bell, counsel of the Grand Trunk; ' Hon. Mr. Gibson of the Ontario cabinet, George M. Pullman, Charles Mackenzie, M. P.; and on the end is Joseph Hobson, a quiet, modest man, with scraggy eyebrows, rugged face and bright smile, who says but little and who built th tunnel. At the other long table are « smatte: ing of London stockholders and invited guests. ‘The post prandial work begins with a toast to the queen, offered by Sir Heury Tyler. —__ SIR JULIAN WILL NOT TALK. ne ‘The British Minister Kefuses to Discuss the Bering Sea Matter. Newrorr, R. L., Sept. 19.—The apartments of Sir Julian Pauncefote at the Carey cottage were visited by an Associated Press reporter this morning to ascertain something regarding Sir Julian's views upon the Bering sea question. The minister was unwilling to meet an interviewer and his secretary was requested to show him the Washington dis atch of yesterday on the matter, which he Rid, and ke returned saying that Sir Julian had heard nothing from the authorities at Wash- ington relative thereto. Upon being further pressed for his views he said that he was very unwilling to. alk on the subject and finally positively refused to do so. acento A FAMOUS CASE, After Twenty-five Years’ Waiting It Will Go Before the Supreme Court. Covxcty Burrs, Iowa, Sept. 19.—Attorney General Stone has finished his brief in the famous case of the United States against the Des Moines River Navigation Company, which has been in the supreme court for the last twenty-five years. It isa document of about twenty type-written pages and tells the story of the case at considerable length. About 110,000 acres of land were given by the United States government to the state of Lowa on condition that the state should make certain improvements along the Des Moines river. The state turned over the land to a company known as the Des Moines River Navi gation Company, with the same condi- tion. The company took the land and sold it, but neglected to make the required improvements. From that time to this the government has been trying to oust the set- tlers, who claim the land by right of deed from the state. The case will come up for final bearing on the third Monday in October before the Supreme Court at Washington. THEY EXAMINED MITYLENE. Reason for the British Landing and Remain- jug on the Island. Loxpox, Sept 12—A Constantinople dis patch says that an officer sont expressly by the sultan has returned from Mitylone. He brings | the report that there is no sign there of British | occupation, but that the inhabitants say that a British force landed on the islandand remained there two days, holding intercourse by boats with the war vessels off shore. The facts do not indicate that there wasa picnic or drill party, us stated, but that the British landed there for the purpote of examining the sur- rounding», with the view to possible operations in the future. aap Miners Go Out for an Advance. Luavexwoutu, Kas., Sept. 19.—The miners of the Kiverside mine to the number of 150 have Joined strikers, making about 350 miners who are standing out for the one-half cent raixe. A mass mecting was held at which reso- lutions favoring a general strike were Committees were appointed to confer with the | bosses of tbe various mines. Another | will be held Sunday and every effort will bo | made to get the miners here to go out and stay { out watil they get the advance asked for. £ FIRING FOR RAIN, Great Interest Manifested in the Experi- ments at El Paso. Ex Paso, Tex., Sept. 19—The governor of Chihuahue and many prominent men from Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and all over Texas came here to see the rain experiments yesterday. The day was made a sort of general holiday. The activo work of sky bombardment was begun early in the morning and continued until late in the after- noon. At about 5 o'clock the sky along the eastern horizon began to pile bigh with cloud: and by 6 o'clock lightming was playing all around the horizon and far away rain could be seen coming down in several places, but not a drop fell here. At 9 p.m., however, it looked as if it would rain before morning. The barom- eter, which early in the morning registered ex- ceedingly high, was then slowly but surely falling. THIS RAINMANER WAS LUCKIER. Cmreaco, Sept. 19.—Lester Kabria, a wealthy cattleman of Cheyenne, Wyo., now in this city, talked toa reporter of tho recent rainmaking experiments of Frank Melbourn at that place. “twas present during Melbourn's experiments recently at Cheyenne,” said he, “and the resulis were certail start- jing. Ex-Gov. Baxter of oming, | erty Oregon, a large ranch owner, nnd Prest- dent Malchrist of the Melrose National Bank were also present during the performance of the Ohio mau. They were skeptical when they came on the ground, : Cheyenne suburbs, from where the rain producer was to carry on his communication with the |clouda. The experiments were made from the loft of a barn out on an open space 400 yards from afurmhouse. There wusabearty laugh from the people when Melbourn camo out of the barn attired in nothing but a pair of trousers ang a flannel shirt, and suid: ***Ladiesand gentlemen, we will ba at 12 o'clock.’ “This wax ‘at 9 o'clock, and he added: ‘You will not laugh 4o hard at noon, You will be wishing for umbrellas about that time.” “Melbourn then disappeared inside the barn nd opened a little trap door he had tempo- rarily arranged in the roof. ‘The crowd looked st the clear sky and pronounced Mol- bourn a frond. At 10:45 there was not a cloud visible, and the indtcations for rain were as far off as ever. The weather bureau for that district had predicted continued fair weather. Slowly, about 11 o'clock, the clouds began to creep'up over the horizon. They camo from both the east and west and met directly above us, At 12 o'clock it began to drizzle and at 12:30 the rain was ng down steadily. “Tue rain was general Cheyenne. “At 2 o'clock or fifteen minutes before that hour the rain had ceased, the clouds had dis- appeared and the sun was shining as brightly | ay it was at 9 o'clock. arn camegout. His face was flushed jothing on him was wringing wet with perspiration. He said to ex-Gov. Baxter: ‘Gov- ernor, I will give you another shower at 3 o'clock.” “Melbourn disappeared and soon after 3 o'clock the clouds put in an appearance the same as before and the rain began to fall. It came down quite hard and at 4 o'clock, when it ceased, there were mud and little pools of water in every direction. At 4:30 the sky was again es clear as ever and for the second time Mel- Lourn put in an appearance and said: ‘The shower will be ut 6 o'clo Por heaven's suke call him off, or he will drown us out,” said a man who had witnessed the remarkable performances of the Ohio man. “Governor Baxter did ‘eall him off.’ He in- formed Mr. Melbourn that he and his associ ates were thoroughly satisfied with the experi- ments.” a MERCURY ABOVE 100. Intense Heat Raging Throughout Minne- sota and North Dakota. Sr. Pave, Mrxn., Sept. 19.—The intense heat of the past few dayscontinued yesterday, the ther- mometer registering from 100 to 196 degrees at several Minnesota points. The heat was ac- companied by strong wind, and prairie fires are reported from a dezen localities. A great deal of hay in stecks has been destroyed and three or four miles of the Great Northern rail- road track have been burned and made im- passable. In North Dakota tho greatest damage has been done arcund Lisbon. At least 50,000 bushels of wheat have been destroyed there. At last reports the fire was still spreading north and east. The Northern Pacific water tank Was sent north on the Jamestown and Northern track to protect the com- pany's property if necessary. No fire Js reported cast of the track. Farmers gener- ally have insufficient fire guards and great anx- iety is felt on that account. Barney a the stage driver from Winona, N. D. rairie tire started at Winchester urned west twelve miles and within six miles of the Missouri river. The wind changed and drove the fire enst fifteen miles through Williamsport, which is four miles southeast of Bismarck, Last night the entire neighborhood gathered and fought the fire out of Winona. ‘The fire is still burning. It is feared Williamsport is burned, as the fire 1 driven by a heavy wind ‘and the town is poorly —pro- tected. The fact of there being no mail to Bismarck since Wednesday gives credence to the fear. A strip abont thirty miles wide and forty miles long has been burned over. In northern Minnesota and Wisconsin the fire is in the forests, The damage is not reported heavy except near Cumberland. ——_ NOT GOING TO BOSTON. The President Compelied to Decline a Dinner in His Honor, Bostox, Sept. 19.—In anticipation of a pos- sible visit from Prosident Harrison to Boston during the stey of Mrs. Harrison at Au- burndale, the Boston chamber of com- merce tendered a dinner to him, but a note received from Private Sec- retary Halford yesterday states that the President does not expect to visit this city at any time in the near future, and, therefore, he was unable to accept the invitation. Mra. Harrison and Mrs. McKee will this afternoon witness the race on the Charles river under the auspices of the Newton Bout Club. They will the Sabbath with Mrs. C. A. Coffin in Pynn, and will probably attend divine service in that city. Mrs. Harrison will leave Woodland Park about October 5, earlier than she intended, as she is to preside at the meeting of the Daughters of the Kevolution in Washington October 7. agen WHAT IOWA BAPTISTS WANT. Resolutions Favoring the Retention of the Prohibition Laws. Des Morxes, Iowa, Sept. 19.—Among the resolutions adopted by the Central Luptist Association, which has just closed a threo duys’ session hero, are the following: at we put ourselves on record as most emphatically opposed to all measures looking to the repeal of the present prohibitory laws of Iowa and urge their more vigorous enforce- ment. “We declare ourselves in hearty sympathy with all the great reforms of the day, as the struggle with the ruin power, the discounte- nance of the tobacco habit aud the dissemina- tion of principles of social purity. 3 *-We deprecate the tendency to secularize the Christian Sabbath and foin hands with our brethren of every name in protesting against the opening of the Columbian exposition on Sundays.” oo FIELD SPORTS AT BALTIMORE.

New Yorx, Sept. 19.—The activity in the stock market continued undiminished this morning, and the strength was still equal to that of any day of the week. First prices were generally fractionally higher than last evening's prices, while at 99 Burlington was up 13< per cent. It was natural that after such a rise there should be some reaction and Burlington went back a fraction in the early dealings, followed by St. Paul, Northern Paciiic preferred, Atchi- son and a few others. The urgency of the de- mand for stocks, however, soon made itself felt and the entire list moved upward and frac- tional advances on the opening figures were scored in almost everything traded in. The | only special movements of note, however, were | the drop of 3 per eent in distillers 9 and its rapid recovery and the rise of 1 in Chieago and | E. Illinois preferred to 100:¢ with a lik gain in sugar on large transactions. P., N. Pacific preferred and Burli | ton were the specially active stocks | this morning, but the entire list was netive and | shared inthe upward movement. There was no change in the temper of the market and at 11 o'clock it was still very active and strong at the best prices for most of the list, but Reading, which had been a weak point, was i per cent lower at 419 Money on call has beon easy with no loans and closing offered at3!z. Prime mercanti paper is in a little better demand and rate are a shade easier, sixty to ninety days in- dorsed Lills receivable being quoted at 5' 515%; four months acceptances at 6}, und good single | names, with from four to six months to run, at a7. | Sterling exchango is quiet and steady with | actual business in bankers’ bills at 480%, for sixty days and 483 for demand.

Government bonds have been dull and steady to firm; state bonds neg- lected. The stock market generally reacted slightly after 11 o'clock, but there was no movement of importance anywhere in the list, and toward the end of the hour the upward move- ment was renewed and the best prices of tho day were generally Feached toward tho close. The bank state- ment showed only a small loss in reserves and was considered rather favorable than other- wiso, and the final dealings were stronger in consequence. The market finally closed very active and decidedly strong at tho best prices of the day. Bar silver, 963;. REVIEW OF THE MARKET. Henry Clews, in his “Weekly Financial Re- view,” issued today, says: ith so many elements in favor of the New York market and so few, or virtually none, against it, it must be admitted that the pros: pect of making any adverse impression on cur- rent prices is not very encouraging to the bears and those who may be temporarily work- ing in line with them; and it would not be sur- rising should those who are waiting for a jownward turn in prices have to wait until some further advance has been made. But it is doubtful whether at the moment this probability ix clear enough to warrant buying. A noteworthy feature of the market is its broadening character, stocks which have been long negleted now springing into activit In part this is due to the development of speculative spirit and in part to the improved financial condition of the various roads. The trunk lines are all reporting large gainsin earn- inge, and this expinins the rise in the Vander- bilts and conneeting properties, which has been oneof the healthiest features of the market. The movement in Atchison also had its e foundation in inereased earnings. In Reading the sudden activity was due to disbanding of the pool, which locked up some 400.000 shares and so discouraged all specula tive dealinge. An advance in coal, and the aj proach of «more active demand for the arti- cle, also stiffened the coal properties. Several of the specialties, such as Chesapeake and Ohio, Ontario and Western and Kanme and Texas, are growing more active, all of which indicates @ broades and active market during the fall months.” ae FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. following are the opening and closing prices of Tork ‘Stock Market, reported.

From Europe Which Disturbs Ohio Kepublicans, Ohio republicans who have the success of the party at heart are very much disturbed beeause of the approaching return of ex-Representative Grosvenor. For some months past that dis- tinguished buckeye has been in Europe attend’ ing to matters incidental to the world’s fair’ but be is now about due in this country. It will be remembered that Gen. Grosvenor was interviewed on the subject of immigration bya Sran reporter during the latter part of last May and it will also be remembered that the general unavailingly tried to deny the interview as soon as he became | aware of _ the fact that his ora-| tory was several lengths ahead of the ‘aculty he terms “judgment.” The inter in qaestion was most unpopular emong Aine: can citizens of foreign birth and extraction, and especially annoying was it to those who had once claimed Germany aa their home. Now, the German vote in Ohio is not a thing to be sneezed at, and the Ohio politician who trios to ignore that situation losca his grip on everything but his hope of eternity. Nir. Grosvenor knows exactly how it is. Bearing all these facts in mind the democrats and citizens of | forcign birth have resolved to crucify Mr. rosvenor if he makes his appearance in the campaign, and they are anxious to have a chance at him: something the republicans desire, if posnible, to prevent. Sherman's | Supporters would feel much better if they knew that Grosvenor was with Lieut. Peary in Greenland, for his entrance into the eampaign will arouse the animosity of ovory friend Fora- kor has. GEORGETOWN. THE POTOMACS’ Hor.

The building for the Capitol Hill school ts now well under way, but it is not expected that it will be finished before Marck. This building will afford all the room that can be taken by the school for some years, and isadmirably purposes of the school. It is planned upon the Central High School, and is in a minor degree a reproduction of that structure, which has been found to be well nigh perfect, as far as school purposes are concerned. In the new building there will be better laboratory accom- modations und a larger and better drill room. THE COUBSE OF STUDY. There are to be few changes in the courses of study for the school. The study of logic, which formerly formed an alternative in the third year with mathematics, will be dropped, and the time taken by it will'be devoted to the study of the advanced bi lish literature, affording a high course of tra ing 1m the art of expression. Greek, which was reintroduced last’ year for a small clues of boys who wanted to enter college, will be continued on a more general busis, and will be studied in both the second and third years, ‘There will be more manual training given in the third year and the work will be pushed upward #o as to give the students n better view of the higher prin- ciptes of metal working and the more advanced mechanics. The course of the cooking schools will also be improved by the introduction of new lines of special study aud the application of better The teachers of the school return to their work refreshed by the summer vacations and are ready to go on with the new year more vigorously than ever.

It wasat first thought that the democratic nomination for county delegate would be made at the same time at which the primary was held to sclect Alexandrin’s choice for the state senate, but some con- test in the connty as to the orgunization prevented the choice then.
