THE OMAHA DALY BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR. DES MOINES' NEW PROMINENT | How General Tuttle is Thought of in His Towa Home, AN OLD WAR HORSE'S HEALTH, Jobn A, Kasson Growing Physically Feeble But Still Mentally Strong— Towa's Coal Output—A Twin Biother Mistake, Goneral Tuttle at Home, DES MoiNes, Ia, June 206.—|Special to the Brp.—The customary Inquiry that greets a Des Moines man when introduced away from home nowadays 15, “So vou're from Des Moines; well, do you know General Tuttle?” With all d <t to Des Moines there are doubtless thousands of people who have had it first dirceted to their notice as being the home of General Tuttle, The gen- eral is the best advertised man in the country Just now. and all sections, climates and classes have heara of him, His name is as familiar in New Orleans as Philadelphia, and as well known there as in Chicago, or any city nearer howe. His personalty stands for an idea, in this case the lowa idea in point of time, namely that the Grand Army of the Republic is not to be a_party to an sehemes for mending Mr. Clevelana’s politf- cal fortunes, or for that matter to be used for any partisan purposes. While General Tuttle 18 80 much taiked about, the subject of so much comient moved along in a modest and quiet way. General 'Iuttle {s_over six feet tall, strong and well built frame, slightly bowed with the burden, of about sixty years, He has a large, well-set head, with full gray beard, closely trimmed, makine him look in the face a little like General Grant. He has Grant’s retiring disposition, and he is a man of very few words. Kirmness and decision are stamped all over his countenance, and when once ho drives his stakes, he stays right there. In speech he is slow and hesttating, but when thoroughly roused his words slip out with great fluency, and they are apt to be punctuated with some very emphatic ex- ressions. General Tuttle lives in a large, mposing looking house on Sixth and Chest- nuts streets, and is held in great esteem b his old comrades of this city. Ie I8 pres dent of the board of trustees of the soldier home, and spends much of bLis time at~Mar- shalltown superintending the construction of the building there, Suchis the man whose name Is talked about from the Atlantic to the Pacitic. KASSON GROWING FEED *“There is a man who would measure up to the stature of asreat United States senator and represent lowa in the senate In the ablest manner.” The remark was made by # veteran politician as he pointed to Hon. John A. Kasson, who has recently returned home to this city from an exténded visit east. This was not the only observation of the kind that has been made, for despite Mr. Kasson’s feeble health and advancing age, there are wany people who would like to see him in active polities again. He has been spending some time in the mountains ot Vir- ginia, and he says he is much better than when he went away last fall, but he is far from being a well man. His voice Is weak and his nerve are unsteady. but he is still the peerl orator of the state. His little speech a tew nights ago, protesting against the returs of the rebel flags, was a reminder of the gracetul yet stirring oratory that has delighted the people of Towa for nearly thirty years. He has had a remarka- Dble carecr in public life. It bezan with his appointment as first aesistant postmaster general by Lincoln. It has included several years service in congress, a term a3 minister Austria and later as minister to Germany. For polished, elegant diction, and felicitous expression, he has no equal in lowa, and few n the United States. He is still the most vopular public speaker, and his name can always (ill the largest hall. But he is getting along in years, and his heaith is very much broken and it 1s doubtful if he ever enters public life again, Still it is true as suggested, that were he in the United States senate, he would give Iowa a representative who could stand comparison with any in the union, COAL OUTPUT FALLING OFF. ‘Those Interestod in coal mining are trying to find an explanation for the marked failing off in the output from three of the prlncllnh *eounties in the coal belt. In Polk county (in which Des Moines is situated) the number of tons mined has fallen from 619,021 in 1554 to 937,004 in 15%, In_ Boone county the output has fallen _trom 475,073 in 1854 10 204,070 in 185, In Webster county the larost output vi 1858, when it was 245,060 tons, while ar it was but 107,777 tons, ‘This falling ortant counties 18 prob- ably due to lo ses that have influenced the trade, for in the othercounties of the coal belt the output is greater than ever, showing that there is no danger of the extinction of Towa’s great coal product for sowe time to come. A CITANCE FOI A NOVEL, The warden of the Aunamosa penitentiary has been to see the governor and lay before bhim a singular case under his eharge. A gllwnhl’ i3 now confined there on a charge of lgamy, but he claims that the crime was committed by a twin brother, who s free while the inniocent one 1s behind the bars. As twins he says that they resembled each other 8o closely that the officers mixed them upand arrested, and the court tried the wrong fellow. That at least is his story, A number of letters have been written to the warden from parties who plead for the twin, a8 they say, who is unlawfully confined, and cendemn the heartlessness of “the other twin who has escaped, Some letters purporting to be from the juissing brother were also re- celved at the peuitentiary, but exports say they are all in the samo handwriting, and after considering the case the governor has concluded that the fellow who is already in prison can serve a while loneer, unless he ean produce better evidence that Le isnot himself but the other follow. TIE STATE UNIVERSITY CIAN ‘The action of the board of regents state university in removing three of the older members of the facuity, has created a little eommotion, but those who are fumiliar with the needs of the school say that it was the right thing to do, and should have been done some time ago. The truth seems to be, that there has long been need of new blood in the faculty, and the eclection of a new prestdent gade i opportunity to reorgantzo he teaching force. Like in s0 mauy state institutions’ there were cliques and tactions among the professors, and a bad feeling, when there should have been harmony. Prof, Fellows, one of the teachers removed, has been somewhat active in making prohibition speeches and enfore- ing the prohibitory law, and heis sald to claim that the regents are punishing Lim for that, But that excuse will hardly do in a probibition state like lowa. Tl 5 that after twenty years' sery school, he had failed to keep up with the times, and 50 has to give way toa man who will. Towa has been unfortunate in these factional fights in its state schools, but it is 10 be hoped that with the present reorganiza- tion of the university faculty, and the intus- 1on of new blood, under naw management, further trouble ay be avoided, st A DASTARD'S DEED, t tho An Attempt to Burn a Crowded Hotel t Colu Corumpus, Neb,, June 20.—|Special Tele- grum to the Ber.|-—A most dastardly and fiendish attempt was made this morning to burn the Clother house, the fire being set on the urst floor, I'he night clerk went to No. 8 It belug the only room in the hotel that ‘WAS unoccupled, for the purpose of sleeping, and found a large section of the carpet burned through to the floor.

CneyesyEg, Wyo, June 26,—[Special Tel- egram to the Brk.]—News received by the Associated press last night to the effect that Commissioner Sparks was about to return to the Cheyenne land oftice for eancellation fifty-five sections of Wyoming desert land causes considerable excitement here among stockmen and land owners, The parties in- terested in the land proposed to be thrown open to tho public are principally New York and Boston capitalists assoclated in the Goshen Hole Irrigating company and the Union Cattle company. Thomas Sturgls, secretary of the Wyoming Stock Growers’ as- sociation, Isthe president of the Union Cat- tle company and a stockholder of the Goshen Hole Irrigating eompany. He denies with greatemphasis the truth of the statements contained in the reports of Special Agents Fry and Bowers, the cancellations being based by Commissioner Sparks on those re- ports. Mr. Sturgis says that work on the ditches to reclaim this land was begun in 1883, and has been continued ever since except in midwinter, when it was impossible to work, At the present time there are forty double teams at work, and that during the past four years over $250,000 has been spent to reclaim the filed on nd; that atthe present time 00 to 8,000 tons of hay are raised an- nually on’ portions of the land thus re- claimed; that several hundred acres of alfalta are growIng up on lands upon which Agent Fry “reports that the ditches were not con- structed to carry water, The right to tak Il,l desert land not being contined to eitizens of the territory, but being open to resi- dents of any portion of the coun- try, makes the desert claim of the “foreign” entrymen a lezal one, and Mr, Sturgis characterizes as false the report of Special Agent Bowers that the “foreign” en- trymen were induced by Sturgis to make their filings. He also ‘states that before the project of reclaiming this immense ‘tract of land was entered inw the matter In all its bearings, including the *“foreign’ entr; n portion of it, was laid before the late secretary of the interior, and received his full approval. With theso facts kent in view Mr. Sturgis concludes that the persistent eflort of the department to conceal these entries while other claims on which a much less amount has been ex- pended and much less work done are allowed to pass, must be regarded as a personal and political persecution of himself and his company. ‘The present action of the depart- ment is not final, the entryman having an- other hearing at the Cheyenne land office to show cause why their claims shall not be cancelled. It thoy lose here they can appeal to the secretary of the interlor for a final de- cision, ‘The lands in question, aggregating over /6,000 acres, are among the finest gr: ing lands in Wyoming, and if fully r claimed by irrigation would make some of the richest furming territory of the west, - S PANAMA CANAL. A Discouraging View Taken of De Lies- seps’ Great Project. CurcA@o, June 26.—[Special Telegram to the Bre |—W. J. Gillesple, a native of Chi- cago for the last two years, and who has worked in a responsible position on the Pan- ama canal. got here from Panama yesterday. He is in the employ of an American Dredg- ing company which is working on the canal. “I'here are from 12,000 to 14,000 men alto- gether at work on the canal at present,” said Mr. Gillespie to-day, *but if the canal com- pany does not soon get another loan the work cannot go on much longer. There has been the grossest mismanazement in every direction. Parts of the canal that have been excavated have been allowed to ill up with clay washed down by the rivers, so that much of the work has had to be done twice. Im- mense guantities of useless machinery, made principally in Belgium, are strewed all along the route, ‘Iving idle and rusting. In some places the lino of the canal has been chagged after being cut, so that new cutting had to be made to fll in the old one. There s such mismanagement in every direction and such a general slip- shod way of carrying on business that if they had all the money they wanted 1 don’t be- lieve they could liave the canal finished for ton years yet. \What is needed *o push it through IS to putit into the hands of a few American contractors. It this had been done at the beginning the canal would have been completed with the money already expended. If the company would let the contracts—not for excavating so many thousand or hundred thousand cuble meters but for eompleting s many miles of canal—then the work would be done. Of course as it is the contractor doesn’t care, He is paid for excavating so many hundred thousand feet and it is no concern of his if it fills In as soon as he is throuzh. In A seventeen-mile svace 1 have been working on the Chagres river which crosses the canal in seven plac In some arts of the canal the water is running eignt inots an hour, ‘The river washes down the mountaius and is constantly filling up the canal, so that some “of the places wheré we excavated a full depth of twenty- eight feet are now only ten or twelve fest deep, having fiil gain, Some work has been done tow ation of the Chagres river, the intention being to have the river run to the sea by a new channel north ot the line ot the canal. If the managers had had any sense, they would have deviated the river first and cui the canal afterwards, Mr. Gillespie seemed to think it possible, even probable, that the whole project would be allowed to drop so far as the present gen- eration is concerned. He thinks if the Nica- ragua canal project is fairly started and put in the hands of enterprising American con- tractors, with the experience of the Panama project before them, and knowing what to do and what to buy, lllt.‘{ will be able to com- plete the new canal'easily within five years, or before the Panama canal can be three- quarters finished, ‘T'his would kill the Pana- ma business completely. Poverty Soclety. NEW YORK, June 26.—At to-night's meet- ing of the anti-poverty society reference to MeGlyun's coming excommunication caused the large audience to shout *We will stand by him.” The speaker asserted that the pun- ishment was caused by Joseph J. 0'Donohue. ‘The mention of Archbishop Corrigan’s name brought forth storm of hisses.

MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 27. 1887, e ——————————— NUMBER O A BIG CHICAGO BLAZE ire at the Union Stock Yards Re- sults in Heavy Loss. CiicAGo, June 20— A million and a_quar- ter doliars went up in smoke at the Union Stock yards to-day. Early this morning an employe of the Chicago Packing and Pro- vision comyany discovered fire in the tank room. Inafew minutes one of the tanks exploded, scattering burning lard over the adjacent buildings and a dozen fires were soon competing with each other in the de- struction of the immense establishment. The fire was not put out till this evening, fourteen and a half hours after its start, and a five acre oven will remain on the prem- ises red hot for a couple of days’ yet. In this territory were the four large build- Ings of the packing company, The maln building was 390 by 475 feet. This, with the xeeption of the curing room, which was saved with its contents—10,000,000 pounds of short ribs, in a damazed condition—is a total loss. On the east side of the main building was the warehouse, fo stories and base- ment, and containing 17,000 barrels of mess pork belonging to Arwour. The building and most of the pork was totally destroyed. Between 600 and 700 hogs werealso cremated, Back of the main building was the fertilizing factory, 109 feet square, and the engine house, 50 by 65 feet, both of which structures were completely destroyed. ‘The fact that no jwind was blowing was probably the only circumstance that saved the entire stock yards from destruction. Be- fore the tire department could resnond to the tirst alarm the flames had galned a headway hat no amount of water could reduce. [wenty-six engines and every reservoir in the yards were soon brought into play. All of the firemen and bundreds of stock vards employes’ efforts were bent toward keeping the “conflagration ~contined to the works of the Chicago company. About this time more tanks exploded and a heavy beam went smashing into a freight car where veral firemen were stationed, breaking Pipeman Baker’s ankle and knocking Lieun- tenant Elliott unconsolous. Soon afterwards the walls of the warehouse fell to the ground, disclosing yraat heaps of mess pork, which 200 or 500 of Armour’s men went to work re- moving as best they could. After the flames had consumed most of the woodwork of the buildings the fire still held sway in the great mounds of burning meat. The suffocatin fumes from this and the blinding hot dusf from the falling walls of brick made the task of the firemen a terrible one, and many of them were well nigh overcome. The most exciting scene of the day was presented when the men were attempt- g to drive out live hogs in the upper sto- ries. Below were scores of workmen rollin out barrels of pork, Down on the crow: pell mell leaped dozens of hoes wmaddened by burns, jumping through hatchways. The workmen "below were compelled to flee for their livee. 1n the afternoon when a num- ber of firemen were trying to save the short ribs in the curing room a division wail fell, injuring Thomas Murphy <o severcly that he died a few hours later, Five other tiremen received severe wounds, Armour values his pork at §360,000, but thinks the salyaze and insurance will make him even. 'Che plant of the Chieago company was valued at 3300,- 000, and stock at 2700,000, About halt of the 2,000 employes will be thrown out of work, b i SECRETARY LAMAR, Interesting Episode in the Lifc of the Head of the laterior. NE ¥ YORK, June26,—|Special Telegram to the Ber.J—A Washington dispateh to the Tribune says: 1t seems to be taken for granted by nearly everybody that Secretary Lamar is to be appointed to the vacancy caused by the death of Associate Justice Woods, despite the fact that Secretary Fair- child v Ertl\{ expressed the opinion that the cabinet remain intact until the end of Mr, Cleveland’s administration. in nearly all the newspaper comment which favor the appointment of Lamar mubh pace is given to emphatic praise of his “f\uflclul tempera- ment,”his “‘conservative habitof thought,’his *freedom trom ebulitions of passion.” Some Pnssnxei of Colonel Lamar’s life evidently have been forgotten. The dispatch then re- calls from the report of the congressional committees the story of Lamar's brutal as- sault, without sufticient provocation, upon the marshal of the United States district court in Mississippi in June, 1 For this assault Lamar was disbarred, but was re- admitted to practice on _apologizing in open court to the marshal and {udzfi. \When quiet had been restored after the disgracetui as- sault referred addressing the court, of coun- sel in the kuklux trials then going on, said: ‘“This has, perhaps, een a disgraceful affair on my part here in this court, but I want it uaderstood here distinetly,' now and forever, that while you are here shackling the freedom of these peo- ple, you, sitting upon that beneh, with your minions cannot for one moment SUppress my voice when it is raisea in behalf of Iiberty .— Sir, before 1 will close my it closed by your hirelings, pou will send me to il You may fine me f you will. but understand, you and all the rest, that you cannot for one moment shacklo the freedom of this body of mine, nor stifle my voice.” to, Lamar, although not .

A VERY SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR. The Last Day Characterized Ly a Large Attendance, Some Excel- lent Work and Great Deal of Enthusiasm, 1f the first day of the bicycle tournament, was a success, the second and closing day was a triumph. At a low estimate 1,200 people were in at- tendance, a great portion of them being Iadies. The south wing of the grand stand was comfortably filled, while the bleaching boards were packed, and hundreds of car- riages and buggies lined the course, making the scene picturesque and beautiful, indeed. While the crowd was extremely enthusias- tic and demonstrative, the best of order was maintained and there was not a single un- toward happening to mar the perfect pleas- ure and harmony of the occasion. The Musical Unfon band was again on hand and the music discoursed throughout the afternoon was in consonance with the sentiments of the vast crowd, the delightful strains as they filled the summer air, enhancing exceedingly the stirring events of the cindered path. ‘The weather, with an unflecked sky and simoonish winds, was a trifle creamatory, and yet tho physical discomfort that arose from this source, was but littie heeded in the uninterrupted excitemant of the afternoon. Messrs. H. K. Charles, of New York, and 8. G. V. Griswold, of the Ber, were again chosen judges, with Messrs, J. ¥, Allard, F. N. Clarke and Perry Badalletie as scorers and timers and l(urr( Currie pistol tirer. Amidst the plaudits of the expectant crowds, the tirst eveng on the afternoon’s card, the 3:30 class, amateur, three mile dash, was called. ] The starters were Hd. Lytle, George J. Kosters, Diehl Wurtz John fhsh‘lun and W. Magner, Omaha, and M. A, Sailor and J. K. Stockdale, Minneapolis. Atthe crack of the pistol they secured a ood send off, but quickly conglomerated nto a dangerous bunch, which necessitated moderate speed until they became disentan- gled. Lytle was the first to pull clear, and he set a rattling pace, closely followed by Kosters and Wurtz. For three laps, with the others trailing, these positions were maintained, but on the fourth Kosters drove ahead, hotly Tn\h‘ell by plucky little Wurtz, They were all bowling along at a tremend- ous gait during the sixth rounding th rutand his s lap, when, in second turn, Kosters got into a nowy-clad form described a par- abola as he left ms saddle and went over head first into the dust. Assistance quickly reached him and he was kently liited over on tho grass, where he lay a moment in a semi-unconscious condition. A goblet of ice water, however, acted as an efléctive restorative, and but little injured he came into the stand. In the mesntime the other contestants bad bent to their work with inereasea determination, and the finish was close and exciting, Stockdale crossing the chalk-line & winner in 11:56; with Wurtz second, 12:00, and Lytle third, 12:01 2-5, Atter an inspiriting interlude from the band the second event, the first trial of the half-mile professional foot race was an- nounced, with F. J. Brezee, of Omaha, in black trunks and buff gaiters, and D. E. Fletcher, ot Boston, in ‘erlmson trunks and Sheftild shoes, atthe seratch. Brezee was Al easy winner in 2:16, For the second trial Georze Kendall, of Omaha, and L. H. Squires, of St. Louls, came up.

It was for blood and one hundred dollars, With un even start, the three racers made the first two laps with but a few feet between them, and in roundiu into the howe stretch the birst of speed was electrifying, Kendall und Cuoningham, neck and neck, quickly pocketed Brezee, and in this way they ran against the string, their bodles all’ touching but Kendall a shade in front.

Savage, of Minne- apolls, and Charles Peabody, Robert Smith and W, Dukes as the riders. ‘This, also, was an event of more than or- dinary excitement, and a continuous cheer resounded throughout the amphitheater from the opening to the tinish. Savage, who is as sinewy and muscular as a professional ath- lete, cut the pace, making the first mile in 8:05, with both Peabody and Smith on his “small wheel. From' this on, these threo alternated in taking first position, but turning into the home stretch, and with the goal in” signt, Peabody had the bulge, with Savage falrly on top of him, and Smith laboring hard but u pace behind, Amidst a vociferous outburst from the enthusiastic audience Peabody crossed the line in 16:403 Savage 16:40}¢ and Smith 16:50, Following this splendid exhibition ot am- ateur byking, eame the first heat of the au teur quarter-mile foot race, with Ed Wa burn, J.

This heat was well run, eve? inch belnf bitterly and stubbornly battled for, Mitehell winning, 58; Gromme second, 59, and Kirby third, 501 ‘The second heat was taken by W 58, the third and race in 1:02}4.

Hey!” from the grand stand and the open seats, It was a beautiful race, revivifying in the extreme, and kept the crowds “on a strain from the first revolution of the wheels until the riders leaped from them at the close.
