A special from Des Moines to the New York Times says: The coming week will be one of un- | usual activity among Towa democrats. Gov. Boies will make fcur speeches during the week. He will begin at Audibon Tuesday afternoon, and follow at Jefferson Wednesday, Ottumwa Thursday, Bloomfield Friday and Iowa City Saturday. The great event of the week will be the meet- ing at Ottumwa, which will be democratic day the palace. Gen. John C. Black of Illinois and Congressman Bryan of Nevada will speak nor on that occasion. Gen. is understood, will answer Maj. Me- nley’s high-tariff speech Jelivered at the same cb last week. Great preparations are being for this occasion by the local democrats apello county and if the weather is fair a rowd will assemble that will take the andi- parison Gov. Boies continnes to he the great drawing card in this cam is canvass: is increasing r than diminishing. Grest crowds greet him everywhere, and never was a campaign speaker given more earnest atten- tion. One notable feature of his meetings in the number of farmers who turn ont to hear drive miles to attend his meetings, and go home more than satisfied with his discussion of the issues. A. J. Hunter of Ilinois is billed for sixteen speeches in lows, begining at Eldon on Sat- urday, October 3. Congressman Butler of the district will speak at Iowa Falls October ion October 2, in the afternoon Eagle rove the same evening and at Ralfe October 3. He is an effective speaker, and will remain in the campaign until the end. ANew York Zribune special from Keokuk H. C. Wheeler, republican candidate for governor, spent yesterday here. Mr. Whecler is making a personal canvass of the state, but is not making any speeches. He is working for the success of the entire state and legisiative tickets, and feels confident of success. He ex- pressed the opinion while here that Towa, by ihe vote this fall, would be made solidly re- publican, and be in line for the presidential campaign of next year, with republicans in control of all departments. Mr. Wheeler left here for Burlington last night. Seventh | (twenty-five yards), 1, and | speeches in this stat>, and wil close his tour at 5. Fourth heat— | George A. Sheridan of New York spoke at the Gera House last night. The attendance was large and the enthusiasm intense. The demonstration was one that showed conclu- | sively that Iowa republicans everywhere this fail are determined to place the state solidly in the column in which it properly belongs. Gen. Sheridan was aseiynes to make thirty-two Des Moines on Wednesday. When seen today he said he did not entertain the slightest fear for the result in this state. Of Wheeler's election he felt absolutely certain. He said: “It will be by such a plurality as will carry al the ticket with him. Republicans everywhere are getting in line. They do not propose to snerifice the party simply for the sake of the saloon. Try as they may democrats snnot delude them into the belief that prob bition is the only issue in the state this fall. They have before them the fate of the Michi- gan republicans, who foolishly intrusted the democrats with brief political’ potver, and do not propese to have a similar game played upon them, and one that might possibly en- danger the success of the presidential ticket next Tow be guiled in that manner. ae HARASSING MINISTER EGAN. republicans don’t intend to The Unpleasant Course Adopted By the Junta in Chili. A special cable to the New York Jerald from Valparaiso, Chili, says: News of serious import to the United States government and to Ameri- cans generally reaches me today from Santiago. It is to the effect that the leaders of the junta, for what reason does not yet clearly appear, have for the last few days adopted a course which has had the result of harassing Minister Egan. It may be the expression of resentment growing out of the Itata seizure, which has never been rightly understood by the congres- sionalists, but has aroused stgong feeling of antipathy to the United States, or it may be the determination to make it so unpleasant for Mr. Egan on account of stories spread about his «vmpathy with Balmaceda as to drive the minister out of Chili. ‘These are only surmises. The fact is that the junta bas been endeavoring to induce Mr. Egan to give up all those wo have sought refuge in the United States legation. The junta even gone further than this. It has put forth the claim that it has the right to arrest any one, no matter of what natiouslity, who may be found on the street or anywhere else out of the four walls of the legation. In keeping with this claim » number of for- eigners have already been placed under arrest. Among them are three Americans who were engaged in business here. ‘The matter went so far that every person having occasion to visit the legation was ordered to obtain a permit ©.

To the Edtitor of The Evening Star I did not mean to be understood as saying that free books were furnished for all the scholars, and if your correspondent B. F. H. has read the papers he could not be misled in that respect, for Tue Stan had already stated that but £25,000 was appropriated for that pur- . and,that not being sufficient to provide s for all, the Commissioners had decided that free books should be furnished to the four lower grades only. Like B. F.H., I sent two of my children to school, and. like him, I bought their books myself. I find no fault with that, although I do not know what in- daced the authorities to confine the distribu- tion of the free books to those particular grades. The facts about this appropriation for free books are simply these: Mr. Paul J. Bowen and one or two others appeared, before the House committee as the repre-entatives of the labor organizations and asked that ail ihe school books be furnished free, their estimate, as I recall it, being $54,000 or thereabouts. It was stated in reply that « rale of the school board, adopted years ago, alrendy pro- vided for furnishing books free to all indigent scholars; but it wus argued in reply to that ‘that such a plan was hunuliating to the schol- ars and parents, and that, as a consequence, some poor people would keep their children us of school rather than be thus humiliated. ‘The Commissioners concluded to try the €x- iment and, as I recollect it, reported the with $30,000 for that purpose Was subseqnently reduced to $25,000. Inasmuch as Congress has uever given the | District any money or public lands, as it has all the states, to create a school fund the sebools have to be supported out of the annual Fevenues; and as the amount now required is pearly $1,000,000 it is a serious question whether Congress can be induced to TERE the amount sufficiently to furnish books free to all Of course, it would be better for us. as in that caso the general government would pay ene-half. ‘The argument was that after the schoois were once supplied the amount required annually would be much jess, as these books would be used several successive terms by the succee: ing scholars of the same grades, and it was with ‘that ides that I made the suggestions as to their Gere and preservation. a years suggested to Senator Blair and others another pias for lessoniug the cost ef scho-! books, and which, i think, would re- sult im other benefits also. ‘It was to provide for the appointment of a competent commis- sion to prepare a set of text books for the pub- lic schools and then bi ve them printed at tue government printing office and sold at 10 per cont above actual cost, the same as public doc- uments are now sold’ to individwuls. They could be purchased oy the District and distrib uted free to the scuolars or be purchased by ‘the parents, as might be thought best or as Congress might determine. In either case they could be furnished ata much less rate. Of course they could be furnished to all the and if thought desirable their use in the public schools could be made obligatory wherever the general governinent has controi- ‘That would tend to secure uniformity of text Books in the schools, and if they were what they should be, the very best. no doubt they would im time be adopted in many, if not all, of the states, and thus in time tend to sscure uniform- ity throughout the countr: ‘The bureau of educatio! tion with the National Association of Superin- tendents and Teachers, would seem to be the proper means for securing a competent com- Thission to propare the books Many of the states have already adopted a similar for furnishing their own school books. nesota nas done it for twenty-five Fears or more. a coutract being made with a ing house fora term of ten years to the books at a fixed price, the result be- that they get their school books at about the usual price.

The Government Experimenters Successful at Corpus Christi. The rain makers made their first experiment at Corpus Christi on Saturday and it was a suc- cess. broken clouds had been floating over- head all the morning and at 3p. m. Mr. Ellis, Mr. Caston and Mr. Fairchild entered a carri- age and drove out of town, accompanied by C. L. Gunter, civil engineer, of Duval county, who represented the citizens’ committee. ‘The party carried two boxes in the carriage, containing two mortars anda dozen twenty- one-pound bombs. When the outskirts of the town were reached the mortars were unpacked and set up ona small hill’ Three rounds were fired, four shells being exploded at each volley. No rain was failing anywhere in the vicinity the firing was begun, but after every report WESTERN CITIES SHAKEN. Earthquake Waves in St Louls, Peoria, Louisville and Memphis. A severe earthquake shock was felt on Satur- day night in Peoria, Ill., along the bluffs and back from the river. Communication with ontside towns brought information that the shock was felt in Bloomington, Jacksonville and other places. The train dispatcher at Logansport, Ind., said the shock was so violent there and at Vincennes that people left their houses in fright as articles of furniture tumbled down. An earthquakdé occurred in St. Lonis at 10:50 o'clock the same night. The vibrations were distinetly felt upon the third floor of the West- ern Union building, and passed north and south. Pedestrians upon the streets felt the — The vibrations lasted about ten sec- onds, AT LOUISVILLE. A slight earthquake shock was felt at Louis- Ville at 10:55 o'clock. The duration was abont one second ‘The motion of the earthquake seemed to be from south to north. There was a vibration lasting a little more than a second followed by another one, making the total time about two seconds. "The city ball clock struck once at 10:53, but Signal Oficcr Burke says the time was 10:57. The motion, he says, was vertical, not lateral, therein differing from any other of the seven he has experienced. The shock was felt generally throughout the city and at Madison, Ind It was not long after the eurthquake shock before inquiries and reporte concerning it began flowing into the newspaper oflices It scems tlixt the shock was very gon- eral end that the vibrations were slow, bit very noticeable und distinct. Several people were awakered from sleep, particularly in the West End, and rushed to the strects in their night clothes. Among thase who migrated from their beds were Gov. Johnson and his family, who live at the corner of Washington and Pen dieton avennes. Probably the most singular experience was that of J. B. Waters of the sal- vage corpson the corner of Locust and 7th streets. Mr. Waters was shaken off his stool while sitting at the switchboard. Consider- able crockery and glass ware were demolished and it is reported that some wooden stables on the outskirts of the town were toppled over. A slight shock of earthquake was felt in Memphis and. vicinity, che disturbance lasting two or three seconds, A shock was distinctly felt at Springfield, Ill, through the city. Windows rattled vio- lently, and the circuit court, fh session, was temporarily interrupted. Reports from Jack- lle, Tayloryillc, Decatur and Mount Pa- ‘ted that the shock was felt there.

The Imperial Government Confident of Ability to Suppress the Rioting. Following is a summary of the official cable- gram received at London from Pekin on Mon- das and handed to the foreign office or Tues- da, Specifie sums of money are offered to the treaty powers to compensate for the loss of life and property at Wuhu Wusuch, Tanyang, Wooseih and other places where the riots oc- curred. Four leaders of the riots have been executed and twenty one-banished, and five mandarins have been adjudged culpably remiss in having failed to deal effectively with the rioters and to take adequate measures to Preserve order. They have been reported tothe throne for punishment. The imperial government, recognizing its entire responsi- bihty for the preservation of order at the treaty ports and for the protection of mission- aries in the interior, has ordered the viceroys of Chihia and Lankind to dispatch the northern and southern squadrons of the Chinese fleet to patrol the Yantseu and afford protection wher- ever the life and property of Europeans are still apparently threatened.

Acts of Auditor McCamant and Treasurer Boyer of Pennsylvania to Be Investigated. Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania has called the senate to meet in special session on October 13 to investigate the charges that Auditor Me- Camant and Treasurer Boyer were involved in the Bardsley defalcations. In hjs proclama- tion he says: “There is in the public mind a profound conviction that the officials re- ferred to and some of their subordinates have been grossly inefiicient, shamefully negligent a shower fell, and as the clouds passed ‘away to the southwest the rain was seen to be falling in torrents over alimited area. By the time the last shot was fired the party was drenched and hastily entered their carriage and re- to theiriotel. ‘The rain could be seen spreading off to the southeast, and in forty minutes a Leavy rain was falling. It was general over the ity and country for half an hour. Mr. Ellis said: “The committee objected to making an experiment on so smnall a scale this afternoon, not believing it would be successful, but I knew that the conditions were favorable, and wished to show them how easily rain could be started at such atime. The final experi- ment will be made next week. ‘Then the party | will operate at two points on the Mexican Na- {tional railroad, finishing their work at San Diego. If the weather does not clear up ni week the experiments will be postponed « fe days until the conditions become fair.” MELMOUBNE ALSO WANTS TO TRY. The rain test which was to have been made at Goodland, Kan., on Saturday by Frank Mel- bourne, the rain maker, was postponed until next Tuesday. Since last Thureday evening a drizzling rain has been falling over the west- ern balfof Kansas. ‘The rain ceased about noon yesterday and the conditions for dry weather are favorable. Melbourne and party arrived at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. — The test which is to begin next Tuesday 1s to last four days or until rain is produced. Mel- dourne expects to furnish rain some time dur- ing Wednesday. Sam and Eva Return. bs Samuel W. Thorntos, the Brooklyn baker, and Eva Jewell, his pretty sister-in-law, who, Samuel claims, floated off from Coney Island on a log and were subsequently picked up by a passing vessel and taken to Florida, returned home on Saturday.

Bradford Dunham. Col. Bradford Duyham, general superin- tendent of the Alsbama Midland railroad and aformer general manager of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, shot James Cunningham, a young man about nineteen years old, with a double-barreled shot gun at Montgomery, Ala. yesterday afternoon, killing him in- stantly. Col. Danham drove at once to the county jail and surrendered himself. From an attorney and intimate friend of Col. Dunham it was ascertained that Cunning- ham wrote Col. Dunham's wife a letter asking her to mect him at a park near the city. ‘This letter was turned over to Dunham. He gota friend to write a decoy letter to Cunningham. no name being signed. He then sent his friend tovthe park to see who had written the letter, and his friend found young Cunningham there. It is turther stated that Daoham thon notified ‘unningham not to tthe e deco} letter and the inmnit offered. at the peril of hie life. A few weeks later Cunnivgham was dis- charged from Dunham's office, and thereupon he displayed the decoy letter on the streeta and said it was writ im by Mrs. Dunham. ‘These things were told to Col.
