SIXTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. FRIDAY MORNING, CLEVELAND TO COME WEST. The President to Take an Extensive Trip to the Pacific Coast. AVISIT TO BE PAID TO OMAHA. The Tour to Be For Political Pur- poses, Information and Pleasure —A Grand Swing Around the Circle, Cleveland Coming West. PHILADELPIIA, June 2.—A speclal to the Bulletin from Washington say ‘There 1s svery reason to believe that the promise which the president recently made to the St Louis delegates that he would, if he could, visit their city next fall, will be kept, and that the visit to that city will only be con paratively a sinall feature of a great and ex- tensive trip which he has been planning, and the arrangements for which will be consum- mated on his return to the white house. ‘T'he resident has seen but little of the United States, He hus during his lifetime traveled but little outside of the state of New York. Ile has never been in the west at all, but he has made up his mind of late that it will be to his personal and political advantage to make an elaborate journey this year. His wife has persuaded” him ‘to do 80 as a matter of pleasure, and several democratic potiticians, chlef among whom is Postmaster General Vilas, have urzed him to do 80 as a matter of practical politics. Thoy told him that the democrats of the west and northwest aro anxious to see him and that his presence in some of the states may have an encouraging effect on the party organization. A cabinet officer remarked to him before his departure to the Adirondacks that in a year of peace ind prosperity like this he could make such a tour as Monroe made in 1818, and the remark had a Dleas- ing effect on the president’s mind It was in contemplation of such a trip as this that Clevelana made his promise to the St Louis delegation. The fact is he intends to R0 a great deal further in the direction of the settine sun than St, Louis. If the president can make his arrangements, he will leave this city in the first week of August, and will probably remain away until the first of Octo- ber. He will travel in a special car, contain- ing the members of his immediate household and two or three cabinet ofticers. The inten- tion is to go clear across the continent to the Pacific coast. ‘I'he principal cities on the line of the route will be visited in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota, Post- - I Vilas is particularly anxious s make a good impres- in those states in time for the fall elections. ‘The president is curious toexplore the territories along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad, and_ icis now on his plan to g0 up as far as Portland. Ore. 1t is probable that In going and coming on this long two months’ journey the president and his party will _visit Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago, St. Paul, Portland, S isco, Omaha, St. Louis, Louisville, and other important cities, in order that he may come in_contact with the people and especially with the working politicians. Pos master General Vilas, ~who is perhaps the most ardent and industrious second termer in the administration, will, when the proper time comes, leave nothing undone to work up the journey for all it is worth asa swing around political circles. Democratic politicians In the various states through which the president’s party will !)nss will be instructed to stir up popular en- husiasm In order to bring about a good ef- fect on the autumn elections. ‘The president i8 determined that this journey shall be made entirely at his personal expense. cpa i Bt THE SECRETARY’'S ANSWER, A Reply From L to Senator Van Wyck's Letter. WASHINGTON, June 2—[Special ‘Tele- gram to the Bek.)—Readers of the Ber will remember that a short time ago Senator Van Wyck wrote to the secretary of the interior calling attention to the manner of making selections of land by the B. & M. railroad. He asked the secretary to settle the matter at once by such means as would relieve the set- thers In Nebraska from the possible conilict with the corporation by calling the comvany to account at once. In response Senator Van Wyck, just before leaving for Nebraska, Y(‘EFI\'CN{!IIH following letter from the secre- tary, which will explain itself: *‘In re- sponse to your letter of recent date asking that the ‘claims of E. L. Hemenway and others azainst the B. & M. railroad in Ne- braska be speedily disposed of, 1 have to advise ‘you " that the wmatter of the final adjustment of the grant for said road is mow under consideration in this department. 1 see by a letter of Sep- tember 10, 1886, that the c ssioner of the general land oftice, after receiving certain facts pertaining to said grant, recommended that legal proceedings be institut 0 re- cover the lands patented to said company in excess of the quantity to which it was en- titled; that the company’s selection of such tracts north of its line of definite location a8 have not been patented be cancell that such tracts still withdrawa, but not selected, be restored to settlement and entry. These recommendations will be passed on with proper speed. 1t 1s now believed the coming decision will furnish a rule whereby all in- dividual claims can be adjusted.” Nebraska and Iowa Pensions, WASHINGTON, June 2.—'Special Telegram to the BeE.]—Nebraska pensions: Herman V.

[Copyright 187 by James Gordon Bennatt.] Brussens, June 2.—[New York Herald Cabl peciul to the Bek.)—The house of representatives continued to-day the debate on the Meuse fortifications. Frere Orban, resuming his speech, maintained that fortifi- cations would increase the danger of invasion instead of lessening. The Belgian forces would have to be dispersed to protect so many forces, and all great warriors, from Frederick down to Napoleon, have been agalnst such dissemination. Frere Orban urges the numerical strengthening of the army, which would fight on open ground if Belgium were invaded and retire behind the ramparts of Antwerp pending European in- tervention if beaten. The debate will con- tinue and perhaps end to-morrow, most prob- ably by the adoption of the bill. ‘he builaers of the new *‘Flemish theater” here are taking wisdom from the Paris dis- aster. It was already started with materials mainly of stone and iron, but every piece of wood necessarily used Is to bo made abso- lutely incombustible.

An Important Muve By Episcopalians in New York. NEW Yonk, June 2.—[Special Telegram to the Bik.|—The building of a great Protes- tant Episcopal cathedral in New York City has long been a favorite project with the church authorities here and the many liberal and charitable members of that prosperous and flourishing denomination. ‘I'he scheme has been pushed quietly for the last three or four months and the trustees have made pro- gress encugh, as they think, with subscrip- tions and promises of support to put the plan now before the public. Bishop Potter issued an address last night setting foruh the necds and purposes of the new cathedral. 1t will be broadly national and popular in character and services, and & most noble and striking ornament architecturally to the city. The bishop’s address was issued rather unex- pectedly late last night, and so secret has the plan been kept that it will come as a surprise to most of the churchmen even in this “dio- e, The new building will be called the athedral of St. John the Divine.

THE FORMER KNOCKED OUT. Leavenworth Defeats Omaha fa a Well Played Game By a Score of 6 to 5-The Thist The Files-Reagan Fight. New Yonrk, June 2—(Special Telegram to the BrE.|—The third attempt to effect a hard glove fight between Jack Files, of Chi- cago, and John Reagan, of Brooklyn, for $1,400 in stakes, gate receipts, and a $30 aside bet, which the pugilists made between them- selves in the ring, was successtul last night, The men fought for nearly three hours in a dancing pavilion thirty miles up the Hudson and Reagan won by a knock-out blow on Files’ jaw In the forty-fourth round. About 100 spectators were present, although the greatest efforts were made to keep the place of meetingsand fthe departure of the excur- sion steaimer with the men and their backers a profound secret. The battle was one of the best ever witnessed. {Both men fought coolly and carefully, It seemed after the terrible rally in the tenth round that Reagan could have won eatlier had he gone in to force matters, but a careful adviser who stood in his corner would allow lim to take no chances. Once Files’ second told him torush the fighting,thinking Reagan was dazed, but the youngster could hit with the veteran every time. The men shook hands at the call of time for the first round at a little after midnight. Both held very high guards. Reagan led three times before Files responded at all, but he avoided each attempt of his opponent with ease. Files stralght-countered once hard on the mouth of Reazan, who beautifully ducked a wicked left-hander a second later and then forced Files to the ropes, banzing at his body with both hands. eventh round found both men still cautious, but Files sent in his right and won the first knock-down. Reagan sprang up and rushed in, but Files had the best of the exchange, foreing his man to the ropes, and his friends were jubilant when the men went to their corners. Files got in asplendid left-hander as they wmet for the next round and won first blood—the double event—from Reagan’s nose. Files' friends were uproarous as he sent Reaga blood flying with another blow on the nose. Rea- n's eye was now black and swollen and \les’ clieek cut and bloeding, as was his left side. They sparred & woment and cut righr in and fought the hardest round of the battie. The exchanging in the middle of the rinz was terrific. ‘They exehanged both hands and the spectators held their breath and shouted themselves hoarse alternately. Kiles had the best of it, but conld not eet in that knock-out blow that he was dying to land. The excitement was intense. ‘T'he next hard round was the thirty-third. 'There was great fighting. Files was forced to the ropes. Reagan won his first knock-down in the thirty-fourth round, pushing Files to the ropes and knocking him clear outside the ring. There was good work in each of the following rounds, ‘Tracey asked Power, Reagan’s second, in the forty-second round, tor a little resin for his man’s fee The re- quest was readily granted. This round was a good one, but only play to the succeeding one. Reagan had things his own wu¥‘ now. He bangea Files on.the jaw and sent him to the ropes as he pleased. ” The veteran, with a Iump on his cheek as farge as a potato and blood streaming from his ears and mouth, responded zamely, . 'The Brooklyn boy was all too strong for poor Files in the forty-third round, Tracev claimed foul so often that Reagan was given very little chance to do any fighting. 'The forty-fourth round lasted less than two minutes. Files was rushed from one part of the ring to_another, and a right-handed smash on the jaw sent him to the floor on his head. His nead struck the floor, and when the time keepers said ten seconds were up he lay there still, ‘Three cheers were given for Johnnie Reagan, wel- ter weight champion of America, The men were hurried aboard the steamer and her lines cast off. 'Thev had been at it four min- utes short of three hours, and it was now al- most daylight. Files’ hands were badly in- Jured. Leavenworth the Victor. Undoubtedly the best game that has been played on the home grounds this season took place yesterday afternoon between the Leay- enworth and Omaha nines, resulting in a score of 6 to5 in favor of the former. Game was called promptly at 3:30 o’clock, with the Omahas at the bat. The first inning resulted in goose eggs for both sides. ‘The securing of two runs each in the second inning aroused the enthusiasm of the spectators. From that time on the playing was remark- ably good by both teams, and at the end of the sixth inning, when the score stood 5 to 4 in favor of the Omahas, odds were wagered on the home nine. In the elghth inning, however, safe hits by the visitors netted two runs, and a whitewash for the home team in the ninth settled the game. Some of the laying on both sides would have done credit o any of the national league clubs, among which being a long running catch by Genins, and the catch of ‘a foul fly by Krehmeyer. T'wo remarkable left-handed stops were made by two of the visitor: the eighth Inning— Whitehead and Beckley—and which were really the ones taat turned the tide. The base stealing of Bader was the greatest fe ture of the contest, he bringing in two runs which would not otherwise have been made, only for his remarkable faculty of sliding several feet amd going in under the baseman when he had the ball in his hands. He also made a fine_running catch of a high fly in lett field. ~‘The umpiring of Hagan was en- v satisfactory, not a protest being heard during the game. ‘lhe attendance was be- tween 700 and %00, ‘There was much com- plaint at the close at the miserable facilities provided by the street ear con ny for reach- ing the ci The company should have a large number of cars in waiting. so that peo- ple would be enabled to get down town in a few minutes after the close of the contests.

EL e THE RUBBER INDUSTRY, A Huge Combination to Boost the Business, NEW Yonk, June 2.—[Special Telegram to the Beg.]—One of the greatest commercial combinations of recent years was effected in this city yesterday. 1t involves the control of the entire rubber industry in America, an industry which has already assumed im- mense proportions and which will undoubt- edly increase at an accelerated rate now that the scheme of consolidation has become an established fact. The scheme does away with the business of about 200 importers and masses the buying power in the hands of one brokerage house alone, allowing the other twelve brokers to go fishing. Besides this it fixes the price of crude rubber and conse- quently the returns to the rubber cutter for bis labors and the révenue to the ownerof the lands, 1t also compels the jobber in rub- ber goods to pay the trust what its managers considera fair return for the capital and brains employed, but does not oust the job- ber altogether from the trade. It leaves him to prey upon the retailer, who in turn_will compel the consumer to stand and doliver or ket his feet wet. Lastly it regulates the pay of over 25,000 wage earners to suit the idens of the trust and leaves the larger time to ponder on that classic maxim, “What are we going to do about it?" The trust, nwunlinlz to the plan proposed, was to be formed by the absolute surrender of every mill in the ‘eountry. ‘'he central company then be managed by three trustees with un- unlimited powers, ‘As the meeting in thiscity representatives of rubber manufactories trom all parts of the country were present. After talkine all day the trust was formed with a working capital of $3,500,000. Messrs Ban- nigan, Alden and Meyer were chosen as ex- ecutive directors with unlimited power and a salary of £40,000 a ve is understood. Some idea of the magn of this prbject is furnished by statistics showing the growth of the rubber industry in Ameriea. ‘T'he im- ports of crude rubber has risen from 11,000,000 ounds a few years ago to 27,000,000 pounds n 1886, ‘The “industry to-day representsan investent of about $50.000,000 and an an- nual trade of over $100,000,000. Upwards of 25,000 workmen are also employed. : = DESERTER REED'S FATE, Shot Down 8y Soldiers While Trying to Escape, SAN ANTONI1O, Tex., June 2.—[Special Telegram to the BEE. [—Samuel G.

NUMBER 350 O'BRIEN IN NEW YORK CITY, Tho Irish Editor Given a Grand Reoeptiog in the Metropolis.

June 2.—0'Brien arrived here from Boston this afternoon. After dining In private he was conducted to the Academy of Musie, where a most enthusiastie reception awaited him. [he auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity. Mayor Hewitt, exe Mayor Grace and other prominent citizeng oceupied seats on the stage, which was decoe rated with intertwined English and Insh flags. As soon as O'Brien appeared a storm of applause arose and lasted for several mine utes. On being Introduced by the chairmang O'Brien spoke feelingly of the extrad ordinury extent of American syme pathy which had been stirred up by events Iin Canada. Lansdowne, he sald, has been & more successtul apostld for Ireland and the Irish cause than they could ever be. [hey could only tell the tale of nis deeds in [reland, but these deeds and Lansdowne's mob had told the tale all the world over. The horrible mowments spent in Canada, the speaker said, lie lightly in hig memory when he remembers those inctdents have illustrated the true character of Lans« downism and the terrible evictions whicl are now belng {n‘l‘pt‘lmletl in Ireland. Lans- downe has said everything he can through the press, and O’Brien believes the mos{ bitter partisan dare not stand up and sa) Lansdowne has himselt denied a single charge. Referring to John Bright's letter read in Birmingham, 0’Brien said: 1 rouret that hig life 18 ending in bitter winter rather than in the glorious sunset in which Mr. Gladstone’s is ending. Bright disapproves’ of sion in the same breath in whi Gladstone a traitor. (Cries of sh not sorry to be in such compan vlause.)” Lansdowne, satisfied with being da has added to s guilt that of an instigator of crime and outrage. He inspired those wh carried out his outrages, and the] were the men who yokea them= selves like jackasses to " his carriage: He knew tho outrage was to be perpetrate by the same ‘“gentlemen” volunt who benaved so eallantly at the battle of Ridge- way. [Laughter.| "Four hundred of these, with their side arms on, were of the mob who tried in the dark at Kingston to murder us. “1 charge Lansdowne here to-night with that crime. Ho answerod our demand for free spe with revolver shots. I venturd to think we shall not hear for some time any more from the London ‘Times about Par- nellism and crime, and, by the way, I shall have something to say about Lanadowne and crime.” The representatives of the American press, he said, were literally and truly the saviors of himself and party. The mob would have trampled them to death haa 1t not been for this powerful shield of protec- h e tion. Mr. O’Brien devoted some time to an expg- sition of the conditlon of affairs in Irelan: ete., and was followed by Kilbride nnfi others, Letters of regret were recetved ani read from ex-Senator Conkling, ex-Giovernot Hoadley, Governor Hill, and Archbishop Corrigan, Resolutions were adopted de- nouncing in foreible terms Lord Lansdowne and the Canadian outragos against O'Brien, ‘They declared the armpnlhy of the s:!tlr’ po?pla with Ireland in the struggle for home rule. e FIRE AT cOLUMBUS, A Large Elevator Completely De« stroyed By the Flames, CorLuMBUS, Neb., June 2.—|Special Tele- gram to the Bee.|—About 8 o'clock thig eyening the large elevator belonging to E.
