A KICK ON THE COMMISSION. Many People Dissatisfied With Oleveland's Selection of the Board. THEWESTERNCOUNTRYIGNORED A Howl From Boutherners Because Bragg Gets the Shortest Term-- Our Delegate to the Star Congress. Kicking at the Commission. W ASHINGTON., March 23.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.|—-Every one was sur- prised last night when it was announced from the white house that the president had perfected the board of inter-state commerce commissloners with the names of Augustus Schoonmaker of New York, and Aldace F. ‘Walker, of Vermont. ‘The appointment of the other three members of the board was in accordance with eeneral prediction, but Schoonmaker and Walker had never been hinted at or suggested by any one. Democrats are very indignant over the action of the president in giving the long term to Judge Cooley, of Michigan, and southern men are particularly angry because Mr. Bragg, who is a representative from that sec- tlon, is appointed for enly two years. Be- sides there is an exteasive growl from men who reside west of the Mississippi, bec of the fact that the president went no farther west than Illinels for a member of the board. ‘The entire section across the mighty river has been ignored, and evea the northwest, with all its great railroad interests, is not represented except by a Michi- gan man, who can scarcely be said to be closely_identified with Wiscensin, Minne- sota, Nebraska or lowa. Altogether the board cannot be leoked upon as an extremely eatisfactory one, nor 1s it as well constructed as might have been ex when it is known that the president gave somuch time and attention to the selection of its members. As the appropriation carried by the bill provides for the salary of the commissioners from Janury 1 each one will find a quarter of " a year's salary due him when Le qualifies. Mr. Mor- rison, however, could not be made a member of the commission until after the adjourn- ment of congress, consequently there is ques- tion as to his right to receive the salary previ- ous tothe 4th of March. ‘The Star to-night says that Judge Cooley is to be president of the inter-state commerce commission and that this will accord with the wishes of the president in the matter. Of the intor-state commerce board, Colonel Willlam R, Morrison is the only member at present in the city. The other members are expected hore bé Naturday night and the imn- mediate organization of the board is ex- pected. 1t is not thought that the cemmission will be reb1y to perform its functions in full for some time to come as the exact construc- tion to be applied upon the varieus provisions of the law Is at present a matter of grave doubt. 1t will be necessary firsf the permanemt erganizatien ef the ‘This will require some time, as it is impos- sible to ‘fl(fl before hand: of the duties which wlll be required ot the cemmissioners, ‘There is a great deal of patronage te be dis- sed of, and by the time everything Is in horough wosking order the inter-sta maniseion will te com- merce co &vfl:hmn of no small importance in clvil service of the government, A fi:nlbl has arisen as to the xight of the commissioners to draw salaries from the 1st of January last.

[Copuright 1887 by James Gordom Bennett.| Rove, March 23.—|New York Herald Cable.—Special tothe BEE. |~The part played by Archbishop Croke in the Father Keller affair has made an unpleasant impression at the vatican, where, although all eredit is given to him for his patriotic intentions, he is re- garded as a kind of enfante terrible who may at one moment compromise the church., The archbishop’s sensation is very embarrassing for the propaganda, which cannot, with ail ts very real Irish sympa~ thies, countenance ft lezally, But as Archbishop Jacobini, secretary of the propoganda, remarked to me just mow: “Until all the facts of the case are before us, it will be premature to say such. Irishmen, however, have hot heads as well as good hearts. 1 fear if they go on as now much longer there will be a civil war. The English government, influenced, perhaps, by the landlords, seems bent on crushing the Irish, who are inclined notto let themselves be crushed.” THE HOLY S8EE EMBARRASSED. Archbishop Croke’s imprudence is making it difficult for the holy see to continue its present policy of “masterly inactivity” with regard to Ireland. There is not the slightest wish at the vatican to move a finger on behalf of England, The vatican has neither forgotten nor forgiven England’s trickiness in the matter of the Er- ringten mission, but it cannot encourage any open defiance of the law. And, it on in- quiry it sheuld be found that Archbishop Croke has overstepped the limits permitted by the Catholic church, he will doubtless be called sharply though perhaps secretly to order. CARDINAL GIBBONS' P OPULARITY. Cardinal Gibbons, whose tact and perspi- cuity have made him a great favorite in Rome, i3 quite overwhelmed by invitations to dinners and receptions in his honor. He has been out almost every evening since the consistory was held, and there has beena constant flow of visitors at the American college, where the cardinal is staying. SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND, England’s Tory Press Ridicules the New York Mceting. [Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, March 23.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the BEE. |—The Daily News of this morning devotes a column to an ac- count sent by cable of the Irish meeting at Cooper union Monday. 1t gives extracts from the speeches of Mr. Charles A. Dana and ex-Governor Leon Abbett and the fol- lowing from the Herald’s editorial on the subject: “The ears which adron the heads of the British government must have burned last night. or there is no truth in the old saw. The 8,000 people who jammed Cooper institute applauded to the echo every denunclatien of the pelicy et wholesale evic- tion by whieh Gireat Britain brings wretch- edness on 1reland and dishoner to herself.” ‘The Daily News adds that the other New York papers make no comment on the meet- ine. The Evening News (tory) makes severe comments on the event and terms the meet- ing a dodge te catch Irish votes. The St. James Gazette, also tory, says: ‘‘American sympathy with lreland’ is the heading which the Daily News puts over its account of the meeting held in Now York yesterday. The sympathy in question was manifested by about 3,000 persons, who as- sembled under the presidency of a newspaper editor to protest against the coer- cive measures in contemplation toward Ireland. It would be very astonishing if, in a city with an Irish population of half a million, 3,000 people could not be got to- Reather to back np the Parnellite conspiracy. It would be still more surprising if there had been any difficulty in obtaining the assist- ance of an American politician or two, anx- lous to catch Irish votes, and a couple of mewspaper men, eager to eatch the circulation of their journals. The Her- ald, which has probably the largest Irish clientage of any mewspaper in the world, ‘warns us that this enthusiastic meeting indi- cates the real feelings of Americans on this matter, but the Herald knows well that the real feelings of real Americans, if they could venture to express them, would be strongly in faver of throwing three-fourths of the persons who composed yesterday’s meeting into New York harbor. Gladstone’s Reply to Dana. LoNDoN, March 23.—Gladstone cabled the following message to Charles A. Dana, New York, in acknewledzement of the cable dis- patch sent him by Dana to inform him of the endorsement of his Irish policy by the mass meeting of citizens at Cooper union Mon- day: 1 am very sensible of the value of the sym- thy which from the first we bave recefved rom, as 1 believe, & larze majority of the American people in our efforts to secure just mensures of good government for Ireland—a sympathy which I feel sure will continue to attend us until this just policy shall attain its coming consummation. et Another Priest Ordered Arrested. DuBLIN, March 23.—Judge Boyd has granted warrants for the arrestof Father Ryan, of the Herbertstown branch of the National league, for contempt of court in refusing to testify concerning his action as trustee for trusts under the plan of campaign, arrants have also been issued for the arrest of a number of other persons in Herberts- town on the same charge, —— Disposing of Plotters St. PETERSBURG, March 22.—It is reported that six persons were captured Sunday in connection with the recent plot to assassinate the czar and were hanged Monday.

The Haddock Murder Cases Open With Judge Lewis Presiding, THE FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Many Jurors Called But None Yet Chosen—Arensdorf Greatly Troub- led—Informer Leavitt's Can- tion—Other lowa News, The Great Trial Begina. Stoux Crry, Ia., March 23.—|Special to the Begk.]—~The great murder trial is now fairly on. After weeks and months of anxious waiting the alleged murderer of Rev. George C. Haddock has been arraigned in “the district court and will be tried atonce for his life. Promptly at 9 o’clock this morning Judge C. H. Lewlis eonvened court. No ob- Jection was raised, contrary to expectation on the part of the defense, to Judge Lewis remaining on the bench during the trial of the case. Long before the hour appointed for commencement all the available space in the court room wos occupied by a crowd of citizens and strangers, All classes were rep- resented showing the deep and wide spread interest in the proceedings. Joha Arensdorf, the defendant, was accompanied in the court room by his wife and four of his small children. He was neatly and stylishly dressed, and had very much the appearance of non-concern which charactered his bear- ing when his preliminary hearing was had in the justice’s court. However, a close ob- server and one long acquainted with him, could readily discern a troubled expression about his mouth. To all intents and vurposes Arensdorf i3 not concerned, but he is undoubtedly greatly trouble inwardly. During the day both Arensdorf and his wife have been on the alert, watch- ing every step taken very closely. A general surprise was occasioned immediately upon the case being called this morning when United States Attorney T. P. Murphy ad- vised the court that he desired te withdraw from the case as associate counsel for the state, He stated that he did mot reach his conciusion because of any misunderstanding or unpleasantness, but ‘solely because the prosecution was not able to pay him for his services, Mr. Murphy has been connected with the case for a number of montns and much had been expected of him. His with- drawal at so late an hour is therefore all the more to be regretted and inexplicable, Dis- trict Attorney Marsh regrets very much Mr. Murphy’s actien and suzgested to the court the advisability of guaranteeing him a fee of at least, if he would remain in the case, The defense is evidently elated over this turn in affairs, At an early hour this morning the work of empaneling a jury commenced. The 100 jurors wore all on hand and twelve were Soon sclected and enterea the box. The ex- amination then began as to their qualifica- tions, the questions being rigid. ~Few re- wained in the box at the adjournment this evening. Kverything indicates that the im- paneling of the jury will consume several days, if not longer. " A 'or cause the state has .ten perempiory challenges and the defemse twenty, and thon they must ac- cept such juroms as the ceurt passes, Both prosecution and defemse have now used haif or more of their peromptory challenges, It was a noticeable thing to-day that the de- fense used their peremptory challenges without a stint whenever & straightforwara, honest, conscientious farmer was into the box. Only one or two ladies were noticed in the crowded court room dnrinfi the day. Mrs. Arensdorf and children did not appear dur- ing the afternoon, ~Leavitt, the informer, is in ‘the city, but’ does not' leave his hotel thinking probably that the outside air would not be beneticial. He need fear no danger, however, as there isa widely different feeling here now from that which prevailed six months ago. Railroad Right of Way. Sroux Cry, Ia., March 23.—|Special Tele- gram to the Bee.1—This morning deeds for right of way through certrain tracts in this county were filed for record. ‘The instru- ment grants rizht of way to the Sioux Valley railroad company.

Telegraphic information was received at headquarters to-day tbat the steamer Helena had been secured and that transters of all pas- sengers, baggage, express and| mails would be made between Bismarck and Rock Haven. From Mandan to Rock Haven isthe miles, which will be overcome by teams: A large number of B-ueum who have been de- tained in Bt Paul left this afternoon and the road hus issued instructions to all agents that the lime is open for travel again. The ice gorge in the river above Bismarck re- mains solid but is ebx’pecmd to break soon. Dak., March 23,—The water has backed in Swan creek and carried oft the bridze between Lebeau and Scranton and flooded the bottom lands eight feet deep. It is believed that several Indians have been drowned. ‘The family of Garrett Barry parely escaped with their lives and lost their cattle and household effects. The steamer General Tompkins is in the ice a total wreck. ‘The Missourl 1s steadily rising, MANDAN, Dak,, March 23.—The water fell two feet to-day. The heart of the river is not yet broken, butmost of the water has passed under the ice, 50 no damage is antici- pated.

A man was seen riding down the riverona cake of ice frantically calling for help, but it was impossible to as- sist him. Twelve families near Livonia had a most thrilling experience. After being on roofs twenty-four hours a thin crust formed over the river and on this they walked to the shore two miles, some breaking through sev- eral times but being rescued. Fort Lincoln army officers here are still of the opinion that the people opposite on the lowlands south of the city perished in tae flood. This belief is becoming prevalent and as reports come in from remote river districts this aw;y of suffering and loss of life is intensi- ed. B Sparks Again Overruled. WABHINGTON, March 23.—In the case ot the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapo- lis & Omaha railway company, the secretary of the interlor has declined to concur in the recommendation of the commissioner of the general land office thatthe company been- joined from cutting and disposing of timber from its unapproved selected lands in the state of Wisconsin within its indemnity limits, which selections have not been aj proved because of the non-completion of the road within the time limited by the granting act, though tully completed since that time. ‘The secretary holds that the road hnvlna been completed, and congress havin faile to declare a forfeiture of the grant, the com- pany is entitled to its full benefi.t The sec- retary directs the cominissioner to forthwith adjust the said grant and transmit for ap proval proper lists of the lands selected and subject to selection by the company within the indemnity limits of the grant. —— Righ License for New York.

A special meeting of the school board was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of deciding upon the system of heating to be used in the school build- ings to be erected this year. The motion offered by Mr. Davis at the last meeting that the twelve-room building on W¢bster and Twenty-Eighth streets and the eight- room building in Omaha View be beated by steam was reconsidered. The board consumed an hour in discussing the matter, an effort being made by some of the members to have the hot air system adopted for the Omaha View schoel, The originl motien finally provailed zd.pflnx‘l the steam heating system for ooth of the schools.

T'his concert is to be given for the benefit of the American school at Athens, an in- stitution which Americans in general are indifferent about, but which Dr. Charles Waldstein, theeminent archwologist, has succeeded in rousing some interest in by o sourse of instruction and entertaining lectures. This school is an institution of which every American student ought to feel proud, and a word in regard to its history may not be amiss, Thd school was founded five years ago for the purpose of giving American stu- dents a chance to pursue more advanced claszical studies than they could do to advantage in our universities. Up to the present time the school has occupied a rented house and has received its entire support from the annual contributions of twelve or fourteen leading American colleges. Busides the payment ot house rent, library appropriations and inci- dental expenses, these colleges bave each in turn sent a professor to Athens who acted as director for one year without e: pense to the school. Under this prov sional arrangement the school has been doing good work, with increased num- bers and every prospect of increasing usefulnes: STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS have been diligent and thorough,and their work has been cordially recognized at home and abro: The coming year will mark a new in the history of the school. It 1s no longer to live in a rented house, but is henceforth to have a home of its own. A royaledict from the government of Greece has given to_the school a valu- abie picce of land on Mount Lycabettus, containing about an acre and a half. This liberal gift inspired the promotors of the enterprise with new zeal, and that the land might be immediately made use of, they supplied the necessary funds for the erection and furnishing of a suitable building, which will be ready for occu- pancy by next October. 1t is evident that the school could never become a successful rival of the French and German schools there, if the director were changed every year, but this difli- culty may now be considered as over- come, since Dr. Waldstein has accepted the position as permanent director, pro vided a fund be established for the ex- penses of the school and the salary of the director. It has beon n source of much congrat- ulation to Americans that while the French and German scheols of Athens have been for many years maintained by subsidics from their respective govern- ments, the American school has had a never failing source of beneficence, rich- er and wiser than any public treasury, to which it could turn in _confidence. “Our men of wealth have been willing and even eager to take the place of the gov- ernment in this particular. We may also pride ourselyes in the words of Dr. Lightfoot, Bishop of Dur- ham, and a dindnsfished English scholar., Hespeke in 1885 at a public meeting in London, as fellows: THE BISHOP’S WORDS. It now touches our honor as Englishmen very nearly that this scheme should be car- ried out without delay. France and Ger- many have long been 1n the field. France has her school snd Gflrmlnaher institute; and even America has forestalled usin this race. That new ceuntry, motwitbstanding the vast and absorbing interests of the resent, notwithstanding the boundless opes of the future, has bcen eager to claim her part in the heritage. While all the civil- ized natioms of the world, ene after another, have established their literary councils in Athens, shall Kneland alone be unrepre- sented at the center of Hellenic culture?’ These words have been fruitful and now a British school stands on a slope ot Mount Lycabettus and land adjoining our own, ALUMINI BASE BALL. It is eminently proper, in connection with such a subject as the foregoin% to say that the literary people areund here and in college circles generally, are con- nmlnflnfi themselves that the new Col- E;rge Base Ball lengua has been formed. A movement has been on foot for a long time for an improvement in college base ball, and at last the scheme has come to a head. The colleges forming the new league are: Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia. There will probably be no doubt in the future as to which college has the best team, as four games with each will be amply sufficient to deter- mine the superiority. Columbia can no longer say that Harvard is afraid to admit her into the league, and Yale need no longer fear that the smaller colleges are leagued against her in order to let some other team win the championship. In short, the new league contests will be battles of peers, and they will never lack interest for want of fine Eln)_'mz on both sides. 'The season will begin April 30, with the Harvard-Columbia game in New York, and end June 28, with the Harvard- Yale game in New Haven. THAT DISASTER on the Boston & Providence railroad just south of this city is only a repetition of the ‘horrors of White River junction barring the absence of ftire. The scenes immediately after the accident are too painful to dwell upon, but sadder still in my mind, are the sad pictures at the homes of the victims. Crape hangs at many doors in Roslindale and Dedham and West Roxbury. The accident is still the all absorbing topic on the streets and {aces of business in Boston, and one hears everywhere the same remark: “'It's awful! It's ternble!” ‘The scenes at the wreck are animated in the extrcme. Thousands of relic hunters, men, women and children, visit the place daily. If the people were al- lowed to do so they would very soon carry away the debris at the present rate, iece by piece. Imeta Lttle gamin on 3rookline street yesterday. He was oar- rying a big chunk of wood so large that he could hardly liftit. = A “Bin to de wreck, mister,” he said. “Got a relic.” 3 b “And what are you going to do with it?" I asked. 4 “Dunno,” he answered, ‘‘guess I'll take it home and mebbe some old iady’ll gimme half a dollar for it." ¥ Where the fault lies and just who is to blame for the accident is unfair to pre. udge before the official investigation. {"ub ic opinion has it that the bridge was unsafe. A number of estimates have been made as to the amount of damages the road will have to pay. Such est- mates are more or less problematical, as many cases will have to be determined by a jury trial, Some have put the amount at $500,000, while others estimate & much higher figure, THE THEATERS ARE ALIVE with food entertainments this week. At the Hollis street the Conried Oxen com- “Gypsy Baron of is ing the E:'n.{u‘. 5‘!:\:0‘ is the fin{pmuc‘llon of the oy era in this city. The music is beau tiful, the Hungarian airs giving 1t a do lightful sparkle. The costuming and stage setting are perfeet, and altogether the entertainment 1s more en- joyable than any Strauss opera vresented here since the production of “‘Der Fled- ermans’’ at the Boston musecum. Large and enthusiastic audiences are greeting the inimitable Robert Downi: in Dr. Bird's ‘Spartacus, the Gladiatol at the Boston. Mg. Downing's “‘Spaita- cus” 18 as grand, realistic and vigorous as ever, and he well deserves the cordial reception he always meets in Boston. The piece is beautifully staged, and the arena scene is managed in an excep- tional manner. IN 118 SWORD COMBAT last night with Mr. Wm. Muldoon, the celebrate athlete, Mr. Downing received a slight cut on tho right hand. The wound was not serious euough to inter- fere with the performance. Another “first time” verformance is to be seen this week at the Park, with the accomplished actress, Miss Genevieve Ward, and her able swpport, Mr. W, Vernon, in the leading parts. The pl: is ‘“The Queen's Favorite,” an intcres ing and brilhant comedy, sure to tine tavor before an inteiligent audience.
