SEVENTEENTH YEAR, J0WA'S CREAT DISTILLERY. Details of the Recent Decision of the Su- preme Court. THE OPINION OF JUSTICE SEEVE He Holds That if the Position of the Majority s Correct the Probi- bitory Statute is Uncon- stitutional. The International Dis Moises, Ia., Sept. 11.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bi I'he supreme court has filed its opinion in the case brought to per- manently enjoin the International distillery of this place as a nuisance for alleged viola- tion of the prohibitory law. 1t sustains the injunction decree of the lower court. 'Che majority opinion, written by Justice Beck, receives the assent of Justices Adams and Rothirock. A dissenting opinion, writlen by Justice Seevers, receives the approval of Jus- tice Reed. Suit was brought last spring to Lave the distillery enjoined from manufac- turing alcoliol on proof spirits, on the ground that the prohibitory law which forbade the manufacture andsale of liquor, applied to it the same as to the brewery or saloon. The owner of thedistillery, Mr. George W. Kidd, of New York, resisted the suit on the ground that his manufacture was entirely for export without the state, and that no portion of his goods was sold in fowa, e had secured the advice of eminent counsel in New York be- fore building the aistillery here, and had been assured that, as he was manufacturing for export only, s vlant could not be inter- fered with by the state law. ‘Ihedistrict court granted a temporary injunction, sus- ending its effect for a few Weoks to enablo he distillery to close up its affairs, and then made the injunction permanent. The case was appealed to the suprel court, the defendant holding that the provi- sions of the prohibitory law applied only to manufacture and sale within the state and that to interfere with a business carried on with citizens ot other states would be an interfercnco with commerce which congrass alone has the power to regulate. The ma- jority opinion holds that the right of the state to prohibit the manufacture “of aleohol 15 absolute and that it applies to the distillery whatever may be the ultimate destination of the product. It holds that it does not inte- fere with inter-state , because it simply prevents the acture of an article, before it becomes a subject for trans- portation. It holds that if it is azainst public lmllcy that liquor be manufactured and sold n Lowa, then this state has no right to per- mit its manufacture for sale in other states. The minority opinion, written by justice Seavers concludes as follows: In my judg- ment the plain and only meaning of the statute is that the sale in this state and the o and use in this state of cating liquors for unlawful purposes are alone prohibited, and that the stafute does not undertake to say what may be dene with the liquor in another state. If it did so a question would be presented as to the validity of the statute. ~Therefore, the right to sell and transort liquor from the state exis imply because it is not prohib- ited. In my opinior the construction of the statute adopted by the majority makes a conflict between it and the constitution of the United States, and therefore the fifth par- agraph of the toregoing opinion is unsound. As long as intoxicating liquors and corn nre rezarded as rropeny. the right to trans- port either out of the sfate exists, although he avowed use of the corn so shipped is the manufacture ot such liquors In another state. L also desire to reserve to right hereafter to determine the extent of police power Inherent in the state, individual I cordially assent to all that is sald in the opinion of the majority as to the evils of intemperance, but 1 have doubts as to its materiality in the determination of this controversy.

He Takes Ocoasiun to Show 1t Toward Governor Foraker, Corumnus, 0., Sept. 11.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEE,|--President Cleveland, smarting under the action taken by Gov- ernor Foraker concerning the now famous rebel flag order, has improved the first op- Nortuuity toair his grievances in a oublic way. About a month azo the governor wrote the president, courteously inviting him to visit Columbus on his way to St. Louis and promising him distinguished consideration at the hands of the Uhio people regardless of party. This was supplemented a week later by an invitation from the board of trade, couched in the same respectful lan uage Yesterday an answer came from the presi- dent to the la® invitation declining the honor of a reception at Columbus, but the presidant refused to answer the letter of Gov- ernor Foraker. Itis said when it became known that both the board of trade and goy- ernor had sent iuvitations, certain democrats of this eity sent a telegram to General Black, commissioner of pensions, suggesting that the public regarded it as highly presumptuous in the governor fo send such a letter to Cleve- land after the governor's course and asking the commissioner to use his influence to have the president accept the invitation of the board of trade and iguore the governor’s invitation. It was also susgested that this would make the governor feel very small and. that the public would applaud the president for thus exhib- iting his contempt for the governor. 1n due time a reply came from Colonel Lamont, the presiden’ts private secretary, asking fora statement of the circumstances under which the fnvitation was sent, public sentiment on the suh{v:-l. ete. A letter was accordingly sent, giving the desired information, and there the matter rested. ‘The fact that no re- ly has bean received by ihe governor would ndicate that the Columbus gentlemen have suceeeded in inducing the president to snub the governor, The outcome of the affair is cuusing considerable talk in political circles. - MI‘ITBOIIUIIJ(TI JAL PHENOMENA, Waterspouts Said to Be Caused By 1ron Tracks in Mexico, Crry oF MEX1CO, Sept. 11.—|Special Tele- gram o the BE| Scientific men here are beginning to study the meteorological phe- nomena which are believed to be due to the building of railways in this eountry. The re- cent serious damage done by washouts on the northern section of the Mexican Central railroad was due to a waterspout bursting on the track, and it1s a curious fact that the waterspouts secwm to be attracted by iron tracks and telegraph wires. Recently in butlding the Guadalagara branch of the Mexi- can Central ralway it has been noted by the engineers that as fast as the con- struction advances rain follows and they hold that this is due to the large quantity of steel rails on flat cars, which ‘are carried forward as fast as the work of construction permits. ‘The most noticeable fact is that the country is dry in advance of construction trains and also be- hind them for many miles, The rains beat down, as d 1bed, in bucketfulls just where the steel rail e, but only in circies a few miles in diameter. Mails are becinninz to arrive from the United States after a block- ade ot five days. A False ttu DerrorT, Mich., Sept. 11.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.|—H. B. Lathrop has been shown a dispatch from London stating that Hon. G. V, N. Lathrop, United States minis- ter to Russia, was In London and about to start for America at once, and that he in- tended to retire to private life in Detroit. “There Is no_ truth whatever in this state- ment,” said Mr. Lathrop. ‘1 received a letter from my father yesterday, in which he states that he is to report for duty at St. Petersburg on the 12th of September. He was granted a leave for the summer, which he spent travellng in Europe with his family. The re{mrt arose, 1 suppose, from this fact. 1f my father had any intention of resigning 1 think he would be very apt to let us know something about it. There is no foundation for the report.” e CLEVELAND AND VILAS. The President Said to Be Disigusted ‘With the Wisconsin Man. ST1. PAUL, Sept. 1L—[Special Telegram to the BEE.]—A local paper printed yesterday what purported to be a telegram to the New York Sun, claiming that President Cleveland had written a letter to a St. Paul gentleman whereln he said he was diszusted with Vilas and should favor Black for the vice presi- dency, 1t was also asserted that Hon. I, I Kelley § had *“soured” against Cleveland’s policy, and was preparing to support Gov- ernor Hill, of New York. Mr, Kelly’s atten- tion was called to the article. He said: *“I will make any reasonable wager that no man in St Paul ever received any such letter from Cleveland. No man outside of Colonel Lamont knows anything about the Frcsmem's future intentions, I teil you hat the president himself don’t know whether he will be a candidate for re-election ornot. There is nothing but the most cor- dial relations between myself and the president. 1 never made a reasonable re- quest of President Cleveland that was not granted. I have a high appreciation of him and his policy, and shall support him if he is again a candidate for president.” — “A BAS LES ANGLA1S!” Bloody Encounter Between French and English Sailors at Quebec, QUEBEC, Sent. 11.—[Special Telegram to the Brr.]—What promised to be a serious fracas between blue )ackets on the English and French men-of-war, now here, occurred to-day. Thirty men from the Minerve, the Freach admiral’s ship, were sitting on the Esplanade, the historic heights of Abraham, where English and French blood has been spilled years before, when a company of British tars from the admiral’s ship Bellero- phon, pretty well under the weather, hove along.

The battle waged fiercely. ‘'The police were unable to separate them, and it was only after a guard commanded by three oflicers. arrived from the Krench flazship and took the men in charge that what was becoming a most serious affair was terminated.

THE OMAHA DALY BEE 1887. THE WEEK IN WALL STREET, Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Rumors Prove Important Factors RAILROAD BONDS RULE QUIET, The Rejection of Offers of Governe ments By the Secretary of the Treasury Causes Them to Decline. A Flood of Buying Orders, W YORK, Sept. 11.—[Special Telezram tothe B ~The hearty response which our market made on Saturday last to the an- nouncement of the completion of the Balti- more & Ohio deal had a marked etfect at London and on the continent, and with the resumption of business on Tuesday there came a perfect flood of foreign buying orders for leading shares. Renewed buoyancy fol- lowed, but the advance in prices was so tempting that the bulls fed the market freely, and this brought the upward movement to an abrupt termination. As soon as the rise was checked tho bears took courage and made repeated attacks on the list with con- siderable effect, a combination of circum- stances favoring them foratime. Rumorsofa disturbing nature flew thick and fast, itbeing reported that some firms were about to fall, hat the Bank of England would raise its rate of discount to 5 per cent, and that there was a hitch in the Baltimore & Ohio tele- graph deals, but none of these were after- ward verified by events. The threatening at- titude of Chicago switchmen, as well as the passenger war among the Granger roads, which was subsequently fixed up, were aiso used with more or less effect against specula- tion. Another thing that tended in no small degree to create uneasiness was the rerusal of the secretary of the treasury to buy any bonds, although more than one-half of the amount offered was at a pri slightly below bidding quotition in the market at the time tue proposals were opened. This led to some apprehension in regard to money, and the stiffness of eall and time loans which {followed, materially assisted the bears in their efforts to bring about a decline. Manhattan d:opped nine points and the rest of the list from one to six , with Missouri Pacifie, the Northern some of the Grangers, ‘erminal the lead. N close a rumor was started that Western Un- nion had ucquired the Baltimord Ohlo tele- graph, and on this the stock of the former hounded up amid great excitement to the highest figures yet made. "I'be other markets sympathized, some shares partially and others wholly recovering the early decline, Just previous to this movement Mr, Gould came out,in an interview, in which he stated that e was notv 1n sympathy with the bears, as they represented him to be, and the rise certainly looked as it he were taking ef- fective measures to satisfy the street on that point. Railroad bonds were quiet through- out the week, 1In early dealings there was a decline of l¢@33 points, Fort Worth, late Texas Pacific incomes and Oregon Trans- continental leading, Subsequently some re covery took place, chiefly in symbathy wit! the share list. Governments ruled " lower after the rejection by the sccretary of all the bonds offered on Wednesday, but the de- cline was merely fractional and there was no particular pressure to sell, Foreign exchanges until late in the week were heavy in tone and posted rates were reduced to $4.501¢ and $4,8414, with actual rates considerably lower. In tinal transactions the market stiffened up a little in consequence ot an improved in- quiry and reduced suppiy of bins. ‘1he money market, while it worked close, was not positively stringent. The extreme rates for loans were 8 and 2 per cent, but the bulk of business was at 51¢ to 6 per cent. The re- ceipts of gold failed to bring much relief in consequence of the omission of the usual weekly bond purchase by the treasury and the continued influx of currency to the west and south, —_— THE CLEARANCE RECORD.

As soon a8 a Chinese emigrant arrives, after paylnfi $120 at Hong Kong for a_guarantee that he will be landed in the United States, writs of habeas corpus are signed by the United States courts and the emigrants are taken before a district judge and admitted to bail. When the day of their trial arrives other Chinese, who have lived some time in California, peisonate the ewmi- grauts and satisfy tne court by their knowl- edge of the language that they lived before in America and have a right to return. Collector Lager charges that the reason why writs are issued in such profusion is that clerks ot federal courts who thus violate the law are closely related to the judges aud make immense fees by their action. The district attorney, who comes into court to resist every writ of habeas corpus, also reaps a rich harvest by the influx of Chinese, who are going east in larze numbers instead of stopping in Californi heret ofore. ——— Kissane Resurrected.

Mossback Conservatives Ousted from Office and a Constituttoaal Con« vention Cailled—Randall and Postmaster Harrity at Outs, A New Diplomat. WASHINGTON, Sept 11| Special Telegram to the Be: uatemala has justsent a new minister to Washington. During the last two years that republic has had nodiplomatic representative here. When General Barrios the president-dictator, was killed in 1855, the liberal party went under for awhile, and the desire of the clerical-reactionists for friendly relations with the United States was not suf- ticiently strong to call for the maintenance of a mouthpiece at Washington, But now the clericals have been hurled from power, the liberals have come to the top again, and as a diplomatic representative of the new liberal regime, Senor Francis Sainfeista has come to Washington, The matter he is most cou- cerned about at present is to ob- tin what he calls the moral support of the United States to prevent Mexican troops now massed on the frontier from breaking into Guatamala and over- running it with viclence, and to restore the finances and credit of the country. “We have had,” said he, “a popular revo- lution in Guatemala. President’ Barrios has proclaimed himself dictator, has dissolved the legislature, and called the constitutional convention to meet in October. So {ar all has been peaccful and bloodless, but the crucial period will be when t constitu- tional convention meats next month, 'rhe republic is not yet out of danger. The dic- tatorship was demanded by the people al- most unanimously, and it ‘has been recog- nized by the representatives of all the gruv- ernments except that of Mexico. he Mexican government refuses to accept or ac- knowledge the dictator, h withdrawn its diplomatic representativ m our eapital, and is now concentrating Mexican troops on our frontier. 'I'he conservatives, who are the aristoeracy, clergy, and descendants of the old Spanish rulers, having been cast out of tiie oftices they abused, have entered into a conspiracy either tor the restoration of thein- selves to power, or the annexation of Gaute- mala to Mexico. What has been going on in Gautewala and on the frontier has not been reported at all in the United States, be- munications are practically cut off means us no good. The utemala by Mexico would mean the subsequent annexation of the whole of Central America, for the five re- publics of Central America are bound to cometogether under one general government, either in the shape ot a federal union, for which General = Barrios ~fought and died, or annexation to Mex- ico, which is “the worst thing that could happen to them. The liberals, on the con- trary, want to develope their cotntry after the example of the United States. They want to cultivate closer relations of amity and commerce with this cnuulrr, and 1f there must be annexation they would prefer to be annexed to the United States. Since the in- dustrial improvements inaugurated by Presi- dent Barrios, we are producing large quanti- ties of sugar and coffee which we could gend to the United States if the latter would only reduce the tariif slightly., Then we want Aerican capital to bulld 2 T““mm between Livingston on the Gulf of Hon- duras to Guatemala City, which is 210 miles distant. The work of constructing the road was bezun a few years ago, bul was suspended during the war in which General Barrios lost his life. The conservatives, who have been in power ever since, have not encouraged the resumption of work. The rights of American railrond owners and builders In Guatemals, wera ignored by the conservatives during the brief exercise of their power, are made good again and are held inviolate by the liberals. The Oatholic University. WASHING T Sept. 11.—(Special Tele- gram to the Big.|-=Father Chapelle, pastor of St. Matthew’s church and one of the most prominent movers in the plan for the estab- lishment of a Catholic university here, re- tused to-day to talk about the story pub- lished at Brooklyn that Miss Caldwell had withdrawn her giftof 000 because Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, had been crowded out of the management. “1 will not declare I knew nothing about these things,” said Father Chapelle, *because 1do. Butthe evening papers announce that Cardinal Gibbons has refused to talk unon the subject and since he declines to talk 1 must do” the same.” There sevms to be an impression, however, that there is a serious disturbance over the affairs of the university. Bishop Spalding and Father Chapellé both appear to have been crowded out of the management of the institution although both of them have given much attention to the work of obtalning sub- seriptions, Bishop Spalding was especially active in the west and it has all alon:z been expected by his friends that he would be re- warded by belng put to the front as one of the managers of the institution. The change made in the plans by those now in control is also likely to cause trouble as the architects who furnished the original designs threaten to bring suit unless their plans are accepted. Sore at Sam. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—|Special Tele- gram to the Ber. |—Pennsylvania democrats are excited by the report of an open rupture between Sam Randall and Postmaster Ilar- rity, of Philadelphia. Although Mr. Harrity was appointed at the solicitation of Randall, he has gradually been subjected to a good deal of friction in the management of his of- fice by his patrons. It is said that last spring Mr., Harrity insisted that his brother-in-law should have one of the two magistracies to which the democrats are entitled in rhila delphia. Randall opposed this and went to worl to upset thearrangement. Harrity was finally obriged to withdraw his men, but he nursed his wrath. He therefore did not go to the Allentown convention and refrained from helping Mr. Randall in his contest with the Scott-Singerly wing of the party. It is rumored that a number of Randall’smen will now be dropped from the rolls of the city postoftice and that Mr. Harrity has set him- self up asa distinet opponent of Randall, xand'uuum;uenuy as a supporter of the presi- ent.

The state fair, which § to Iowa like the festal week which many' European nations enjoy, has been in pro= gross With greater success than ever before! People have poured into the city from tha four quarters of the state, till the town ha: seemed like a modern tower of Babel witly its confusion of tongues, Whether the rural districts sent all of their people to the fair on not, they were more or less demoralized by reason of it, and trade has been temporarily, suspended, and merchants called in their travelling men to stay till the fair was over. There are thousands of lowa farmers and their families who take this occasion for a little excursion to the outside world, and then go back to the farm for another yoar's confinement. Briet as is the escape from the drudgery of the farm, the little trip does them a great deal of good. Thoy get their fdeas enlarged, their judgment broadened and thelr knowledge of what is going on in the world materially Increased.’ They go back to the farm to make more from it, to make themselves better, and so the state is indirectly benefited. ‘Tho fair this| year has been in somo respects better than' any of its predecessors.
