THE OMAHA DAILY BEE |SEVENTEENTH YEAR. = OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING 'OCTOBER 8. 1887, FROM MILWAUKEE T0 MADISON | The Presidential Party Bids a Hearty Fare: well to the Oream Oity. CLEVELAND WEATHER PREVAILS, A Oordial Welcome Extended at the Capital of Wisconsin—A Viait Made to the Falir Grounds, Karewell to Milwaukee. MiLwAvKEE, Oct. 7.—The day opened bright and beautiful after a regular down- pour of rain during the night, and every- thing tended to make the few remalning hours of the president’s stay in Milwaukee of the most pleasant nature. About K:3 #. m. carrlages containing the presidential party and reception committee left the Plankinton house and proceeded to the sol- diers’ home by way of the Grand avenue and Blue Mound road. ‘The sides of the uvenue - were lined with people who doffed their hats and waved handkerchiefe, while an occasional cheer broke forth as some enthusiastic individual caught sight of his politicel chief, and im- parted his enthusiasm to those around. ‘When the cavalcade arrived at the soldiers’ ‘home, the maimed veterans were drawn up in line and saluted the president and wife as they drove down the line through the grounds, The cannon in front of the home building meanwhile boomed forth the presi- dentlal salute. The time left bafore the depar- ture of the train was so brief that no stoo was made, and the carriage drove very raj idly through the streets of the south side up into the residence portion of the Seventh ward Lake park, where a hand- some driveway led down to the Northwestern large crowd had crowded the decorated on platform for fully the distinguished ~ party = arrived, and when the president’s carriage came into view It was greeted with a round of cheers, which continved until the train depot. The appearance of Mrs, C on the platform was a signal for a special outburst of enthusiasm from the ladies, who waved their handkerch'efs and parasols in accompaniment to the cheering. Mrs, Cleveland looked bright an fresh, notwithstanding the continual round of re- ceptions and levees which she has undergone, rml smiled sweetly as she accompanied her husbgnd to the car. Colonel Vilas was also the récipient of an outburst of applause as he stepped out of hiscarringe and vanished into the president’s car. The train pulled out of the depot at 10:30, fully half an hour later than was intended. No stops are ‘o be made between hersand Madison, b 4 the train will slow up at larger stations to give the people a chance to see the presidentand his wite. No accident or any other disagreeable feature has inteferred to mar the president’s pleasure in this city, and the entire party were highly delighted ‘with their treatment and admirable arrange- ments which characterized their reception and entertainment. Cleveland in Wisconsin's Capital. MADI8ON, Wis,, Oct. 7.—On the arrival of the presidential train here this afternoon the party was accorded an enthusiastic reception and were escorted to the capitol grounds, where the welcoming address was made by Judge Cole, chiet justice of Wisconsin. In reply President Cleveland sal After a week spent in travel and in visiting the people of the great west we have come to rest while at the capltol of Wisconsin, known as the most beautiful in location and scenery of all the cities of this region. Thouzh we see the people of Madison at their home for the first time, they are not unknown tous. We knew you at the seat of the natlonal goyern- ment through your fellow-townsman who has done honor to his home and to his neigh- Dbors by a most successful and conselentious verformance of important public duty and who has earned, as he has received, the respect and esteem of every citizen who desires the welfaro of his country. So our desire to actually see you i to know wu better is perfectly natural. It seemea me when vlanned the trip ~ we have undertaken that Madlson would be a proper place at which to make our first stop for rest. When 1 con- ceived the Idea of staylng at Madison over Sunday and testing the kindness of her citi- zens and the hospitality of the postmaster gel all 1 had to do was to imagine that wo be very much fatigued when we reached here and in need of the rest I was determined we should have. ‘Thus we are here and tired enough to justify my plans.” After speaking further in praise of the beauty of the city, its surroundings and the university, the presiGent concluded: “I ex- pect to heartilv enjoy my stay here and to always hereafier cherish pleasing recollec- tions of *1‘““ city and its Inhabitants.” e conclusion of the speechmaking party en the capitol bullding, the doors of which were closed for a few minutes while the recention committee and !adies were presented to the president and Mrs, Cleveland. After this the doors were opened and for about two hours the people poured in ?Iul passed by the president. ‘The town, though not very large itself, was crowded to overtlowing with people from all the sur- rounding ccantry, When the reception ended Mrs. Cleveland went at once to the residence of Postmaster General Vilas, where she spent the rest of theafternoon in quiet. 'The president, ac- companied by Governor Rusk and Colonel 'Vilas, went to the Dane county fair grounds, where again the peovle had an opportunity to see him. This evening Mr.and Mrs, Vilas gave a dinner to the president, it being a uies affair of twelve or fifteen covers. mon{ the guests were Goyernor and Mrs, Rusk, Chief Justice Cole and Mayor Conklin and wife.

New YoRk, Oct, 7.—=Two hundred persons interested !n electrical matters left yesterday Yor a trin on the New Jersey division of the Lehigh Valley railroad ‘The trip was for the purpose of witnessing a special exhibition of the Consolidated Railway Telegraph com- pany’s system ot telegraphing to and from moving trains by electrical inductive action, now in daily use on that line. 'The appa- ratus was an ordinary telegraph instrument attached to a wire which ran from car o car from the top of the train, and from this wire the message was thrown to a spe- cial wirerunning along the road, and it was caught up at the nearest station and sent by the operator to its proper destination. 1The 1ailroad men were astonished at the facility with which dispatches could be sent from a train moving at the rate of fifty miles an hour, Dispatches were received at the vari- ous newspaver ofiices during the afternoon from representatives on beard the train, all lfireehw that the experiment was a compl shiceess.

Lamentations of Tory Papers on the Acquittal of Sullivan, | Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.) LoNDOX, Ock 7.—| New York Herald Cable —Special to the Bee.|—The government organ says of the Irish fizzle: ‘It is impos- sible to deny that the breakdown of the first prosecution under the crimes act must seri- onsly damage the prestige of the Irish gov- ernment. From the report we publish this morning it will be seen not only that the summons Issued against the lord mayor has been dismissed but that the whole case against him scems to have been prepared by Dublin castle’as if they were stage managers in one of the farcial scenes Inan opera pouffe. What raakes matters worse is that in this instance we cannot blame & partisan jll_u'y for such an untoward fatlure of justice, 'he acquittal of the lord mayor,was ordered by the paid magistrate of the crown whose professional interests could not possibly tempt him to be lenient to the prisoner l)zgl\_ nst whot the crown was proceadln%.” 'he Post, government organ, also finds fault. and says: the defense very Drorcrly insisted up- on every vart o the case being strictly proved, and through what we cannot help thinking was inexcusable mismanage- ment, the case of the crown broke down.

"The Times says: ‘It remains to be seen whether the legal advisors of the govern- ment have left themselves equally unpro- vided with evidence which would settle the issue in their favor in the case of the meet- ings illegally reported in this week’s Parnell- ite journals. 80, it cannot be dented that rave error in judgment has been coin- mitted.” Lord Salisbury’s right-hand organ, the Standard, begins a long, whining editorial thus he nationalists and their friends have a perfect right to rejoice at the ridicu- lous collapse of the proceedings against Mr. Sullivan.” The News has a witty editorial, and says the dismissal was because the legal talent of Dublin castle was unable to comply with the reguirements of the law. ‘I'here is not & word of comfort for Bal- four In any journal. “The counsel for London’s Small Quota of Socialists.

Fort Smity, Ark., Oct. 7.—A desperate fight occurred yesterday morning on the line of the Choctaw nation, sixty-five miles south of here, between Deputy United States Mar- shal George Williams and a posse of three men on one side, and a notorious outlaw, named Bill Frazier, on tne other. Frazier is wanted in the United States court on various charges, horse-stealing and an assault witn intent to kill being among them. The officers have had several rounds with him during the past summer, and yesterday brought him to bay ina farm house. His sur- render was demanded, when he threw open the door and fired on the \iuny with a shotgun, wounding Abe Barnhill severely in the left ankle. 'T'he officers returned the fire and sought cover, when Frazier ran out with a six-shooter in each hand and broke for the brush, firing on the officers as he ran. Barn- hill received two pistol balls in the left knee, one ot them shattering the bone, despite which he kept up the fight with his compan- 1ons until Frazier disappeared in a thicket, where it is reported he died soon afterward of wounds received in the fight, ‘The wounded marshal was placed in a hack and conveyed twenty-eight miles on the Frisco road, arriving here on the train at widnight, i1is wounds are quite serious and may result in_the loss of his leg, 1f not his life. Deputy Williams and one of his posse remained at the place whera the fight oc- curred, and up to a late hour this evening have not arrived here. Frazier Kkilled a deputy constable at Enterprise, in this county, several years ago, and has since went from bad to worse, being considered one of :m- most dangerous wen in the Indian terri- ory.

TRADE MARKS, Seccretary Litchman Thinks They Should Be Boycotted—Mre. Barry's Report on the Condition of Working Women, Buchanan’s Bounce. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 7.—J. P. McGaughey, secretary of the co-operative board of the Knights of Labor, said this morning that the result of the vote in the case of James B. Buchanan, rejected delegate from District assembly 89, of Denver, as given by the latter, was false and that the vote was unanimous against Buchanan, General Secretary Litchman presented his report to-day. 1t was very voluminous. 1t shows that the number of members reported in good standing at the last session of the general assembly was 703,000, 'The receipts for the fiscal year ending July 1 are shown o be S50, giving, th the balance on hand, a grand total ot 8508,000. The consid- eration of the question of establishing a co-operative savings association was recom- mended : also that assemblies be made com- pulsory instead of permissive, Mr. Litch- man figured the decrease in memborswop since the lust general assembly as 105,000, He intimates that the bulk of this decrease was composed of material that had provea itself weakness rather than strength. Among the recommendations made by the general secretary is one that the subject of estaplishing a co-operative savings associa- tion be carefully considered by the commit- tee on the state of the order and if deemed advisable, proper authority be given to secure an act of incorporation for the organization and management of such institution, The secretary further recommends that state as- semblies be made compulsory instead of perinissive; that there be legislation which will make more All‘lm{enl the prohibition of the use of the name of the order or any of Its symbols for business purposes. On this point the secretary says the general assembly would be justified in passing a law placing A boycott on every article upon which the initials of the order or any of its symbols were used without the sanction of the general executive board. Regarding the embezzlement of tunds by local ofticers who sllbseuuenllf' ab- scond, “the secretary recommends it stated in the constitution that a notice ot trial be sent to the last known address of the abs~onding ofticer be considered lezal summons. Mrs, L. M. Barry, general investi- gator, made her annual report embracing the result of her inquiries into the condition of the working women of the country., Having no legal authority she has been unable to make as thorough an investigation in many places as she would like, but upon the strength of her observation and her experi- ence she asks that more consideration be given to, and more thorough educational measures be adopted, on behalf of working women, the majority of whom are entirely ignorant of ecomonic and industrtal ques- tions, She recommends: that it be made compulsory upon ever district, state or national assembly, to have one or more educators; that organizers be urged to put forth greater ef forts to inculcate the true princioles ot the order in the winds of newly organized locals; that the order turn its whole undevided tention to the forming of co-onerative enter- prises, particularly in manufacturing men’s, women'’s and children’s garments, as in this branch women suffer most from poor wages. That we here and now,” says the report, +'adopt a practical line of policy for uproot- ing corrupt and unjust systems, in pursuit of which thero will be no time for making the order the battle field wherein to avenge real or imaginary or personal grievances. 1n- stances of cruel treatment of working women are cited. ‘The report of the general executive board is very long. 'The committee takes up in regular order 1883 cases on which it has passed during the vear. Most of these gre insignificant and few have any public inter- est. Among the most important documents referred to is the revort of the committes on conspiracy appointed at the Richmona con- vention. After preluninary report of inves- tigations and results, the comigittee has this to say on so-cal “vinckmNis:” *Your committee are unanimously of the opinion that a speedy example should be made in some way of the many cases ot conspiracy that are constantly arising, as it is very evi- dent the lnws are being used for intimidation of our brothers everywhere, with scarcely an exception, and that the sooner such example is successfully made the better it will be, not only for the Kuxpinu of Labor, but for society loyers should be made to un- 5»:)5:;]3{. Em: erstand that laws sre not alone made for their special use and benetit.” ‘The members of the order are recommended to refuse to purchase crockery made Db Knowles, Taylor & Co., of East Liverpool, 0., on account of the concern’s opposition to tho order. A great number of other firms goods for similar reasons are ‘‘not recom- mended.” The report froin the committee on the state of the order rehearsed a discussion & similar committee from a union last December when an attempt was made to settle grievances between the umions and the Knights. In closing the committee said: Onr opinion is that the so-called grievances, it they do ex- ist, are rather accentable than otherwise to some persons in their organizations, being used by them to accomplish selfish purposes, and we believe a circular fsom our order sent to all trade and labor organizations explain- position on the question of organization within the would result in muech good. At the afternoon session reports were re- caived from the committees on education and compilation of eonlolmc{ laws. ‘The secre- tary of the co-operative board presented its report which makes many valuable sugges- tions. Among other things it is asked that the board be given power to establish a co-operative agricultural and machinery manufactory to run on & grand scale, The supposition is that should the convention ratify this recommen- dation, the headquarters of the con- cern will be in this city and its works ad- jacent. Another recommendation is to adopt & co-operative farm in Minnesota, in Crow Wing county. The statement of the executive board with reference to the difli- culty with district assembly 126 makes, first, the point that John Morrison, the prime mover in the trouble, is nota member in good standing. ‘The Richmond convention sustained this decision. He has had opportunities to reinstate himself, but has not taken advantage of them. Tie district steadily refused to obey orders, even after the H *Ius & Co. strike was settled, and resolved in its meeting not to comply 'with the order of the board. Mr. Powderly said to-night: **This is the best convention the knights ever held, ‘They are five days ahead of the Richmoud convention in "point of time.” — A Horrible Death, SHERMAYN, Tex,, Oct. 7.—A horrible death is reported to have taken place at Preston, thirty wiles northwest of Sherman, last night, The deceased, G.

Sccretary Lamar Hestores 320,000 Acres to the 8t, Paul Road. WAsHINGTON, Ot 7.=The secretary of the Interior to-day remideéred two important declsions affecting thé right of land grant railroads to indemnity lands, the question being the extent to which the right of selec- tion to such lands can be exarcised. The question arose upon the adjustment made by the commission of the general land offtice of the grantof the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneap- olis & Omaha railway. The secretary re- verses the proposition of the commissioner that the company was not entitled to indemnity on account of vrior grants for other purposes, including swamp grants, Indian reservations, and mojeties of other roads uuder contemporaneous grants. ‘The commissioner also changed the terminal lim- its of the grant so a8 to exclude therafroms several thousand ncres which were formerly included therein. I'his, the secre- tary holds, cannot be done. 'I'he commis- sioner treated the grant to the Wisconsin Central road as contemporaneous with that of the Omaha road, and deducted from the latter’s grant one-half the lands within and overlapping the ten mile limit of the former and the six mile limit of the latter, amount- ing to about 130,000 acres. The secretary holds that the grant to the Omaha company within its six mile lunit was prior in date and awards that company all lands within the conflicting limits, He also restores to the company 55000 acres deducted by the commissioner for the Wisconsin Farm Mort- Kgage company. The second decision nrpl ies to the Bayfield branch and deals with the company’s fallure to construct its road upon a line of definite location. The secretary finds ample reason for deflection on account of engineering difticulties, ete. T'he effect of the decisions is to allow the company about 204,000 acres additional indemnity for the Lfllll\ lIlne and 125,000 acres for the Bayfield ranch. Utah Commission Minority Report. WASHINGTON, Oct 7.—John A. McCler- nand and A. B. Carlton, of the Utah com- mission, have submitted a minority report, dissenting from some of the views of the majority of the commission, recently sub- mitted. The dissentis particularly as regards the general animus and propriety of intro- ducing theological discussion into a secular document, The dissenters say that early in the present year they thought they discov- ered a disposition among the Mormons to give up the practice of polygamy and have used their influenceto induce the Mormons to take such @& step. ‘The commissioners disclaim any interferance in the question of statehood for Utah, butconsidor that a strong advanced position is gained when the mass of the people are induced to place themse]ves on record m opposition to polygamy. ' dissenters say that while the great mas the Mormon people are muking efforts for the abandonment of polygamy, they decline to recommend further lsgislation of a hostile and nfl‘frus&iva character, almost if not en- tirely destructive to n»lfgovemmum and in- flicting punishment on the innocent as well as the guilty. The commissioners. fnstead recommend the adoption of an amendment to the constitution prohibiting polygamy in any form, Nebraska and Iowa Pensions. WASHINGTON, Oct.

Then the railroad company offered him cars to load his wheat, but he wanted to empty the sacks andjship the wheat in bulk. ‘I'he company refused to allow him this, and afterwards, Mr. Hawk says, refused to give him cars to ship the gacks. He then caused the arrest of Divisiof Superintendent Gra- ham. Graham was sgrested under the inter- state commerce law,{ which prohibits unjust discrimination.

NEW YORrk, Oct. 7.—[Special Telezram to the Bek,|—The annual meeting of the West- ern Union Telegraph company occurs next Wednesday, and in the proxies that have been sent out, the shareholders are informed that the meeting will be an unusually impor- tant one. The capital stock will then be in- creased, but it was hinted yesterday that something more than $5,000,000 required for the Baltimore & Ohio purchase might be ndded. 1t was believed in some quarters that other opposition lines, with the Mackay- Bennett cables, had been secured. In reply to an Inquiry on this point, Gould said posi- tively that there were no negotiations in pro- gress, and several directers declared that the increase of capital would mnot exceed $5,000,000. There will be no general cmmgu in the rates at present, although there will be a natural adjustment, now that the companjes have been united. The 10 cent rate may be advanced in some cases, but ~ this course will be pursued only where competition has been the severest. A member of the executive committee remarked: ‘‘There need not be the slightest fear that the consolidation will result in an advance of telegraph rates. Gould’s views on this subject are well known and the directors are fully satistied with the success of his policy. 'Thera could no general advance even it the com- pany was not making money at present rates because it would excite opposition. izh rates has passed forever.” Noewcomb, talking about the matter, “L think this transaction changes the whole situation and speculative temper. It will beof great benetit to the street, although [ do_not look for such an effect as would be produced in former days. But the new stock of the Western Union goes into the hands of important for- eign houses, who will not be satistied to nego- tiate it atany 5 per cent advance. ‘The prob- abilities are that it will lead to the listing of stock on the Loudon stock exehange, for the influence of the syndicate will be likely to allay vrevious opposition. The result of long telegraph contest demonstrates that private capital cannot successfully compete with the Western Union organization at any rates. There is not likely to be any new en- torprizo started In that direction for a long ime.” NEW YoRg, Oct. 7,—[Press|—Robert Gar- rett returned from Europe this morning.

Moweler, elected justice of the peace by the prohibi- tionists of Kingsley, Ia., has got into trouble. A dispateh from Sioux City says that he was arrested on a charge of retailing malt and spirituous liquors without a license. The defendant was discharged, but the evidence went to show that he kept constantly on hand an amount of liquors. A number of witnesses testified to having gotten from him beer on several occasiens. A number of others admitted to having got hold of beer by using a win- dow and crawling into it whers it was stored and taking as much as a dozen bottles at a time. ‘T'he liquor he kept, he ex- plained, was for the use of an invalid wife, ‘The prosecution falled to prove that he re- ceived any amonnt for liquor or beer, and 8o he was discharged. 1t seemed a little pecul- iar, however, that the beer could be stolen from the cellar 30 svstematically and in such quantities without some notice or protesta- tion on his part. That such an amount should have becn stored for medical purposes also looked a litcle shy, In compllny with others the prohibition justice of the peace is engaged in enforeing the prohibition law. - GENOA'S INDIAN BAND.
