A cable rail- way has justbeen built in St. Paul and I shall make a trip there to sec its workiugs. Chicago has a fine cable line and I have been looking at the new one just completed. From St. Paul I go to Omaha, where there is also a cable road in process of construction.” The duke was very talkative and paid some flat- tering_compliments to the people of tho United States. “You have a great country,’ he continued, “and how noticeable is the con- trast between the masses of America—the working classes I mean—to those of England and Europe. Here thoy are better clothed and fed and live more comfortably and in better houses. Everybody, it seems to me, is busy in this country, all of the people be- ing engaged in building up the country and in_money getting. The average of intelli- ice here is much higher than in England. finement? ~ Yes.

Interesting Arguments in the Case at Salt Lake.

United States Attorney Hobson replied that by the enabling act congress reserved full power and right to anuul or revoke legislative en- actments in this tevritory. The et of incorporation of the church was granted with this limitation. In 1562 congress limited the church holdings to 0,000 and all Mormon church property has been acquired in - defiance of this law. Further the statute of 1862 specified that no tired should be used to uphold 1 ' vh it is noto- y of the ontrary to I rious that e Mormon churs this.

CrpAR Rapps, Ia., Oct. 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEE.]—A large number of the members of the Twenty-fourth regiment of Towa volunteers have gathered in this city to take part in the third annual reunion. The first reunion was held in this city in Septem- ber, 1867, a second on December 16, 1887, and now the third is also being held here. Ouly two Iowa regiments entered the service in the eastern army—the Twenty-eighth regi- ment and the Twenty-fourth. The service of the Twenty-fourth Towa was varied and somewhat eventful, carrying it through Grant's brilliant Vicksburg campaign, through the trying but by no means brilliant campaign of Banks in Louisiana, then leaving the great river it had followed from Iowa to its mouth, in July, 1864, it proceeded by ocean to Washington, where it attracted attention as the first Towa regiment seen in the capital, and went at once to participate with credit in the arduous but glorious_Shenandoah valley campaygn, by which Phil Sheridan ex- tinguished at once Jubal Early and the rebel pretensions in that quarter, Leaving Balti- more January 13, 1865, by another sea voyage, the regiment passed under the command of General Sherman, holding his - base at annah, Ga., and Morehead City, C., and finally rested at A\uzuslu Ga., until sent to Savannah to be mustered out. The latter event took place nominally on the 17th of July, 1565. but the regiment did not_disband until August 2, at Davenport, Ia. In the afternoon yesterday nothing was done save to enroll the members as they came in. The boys all had a social time among themselves renewing old friend- ship and recounting the deeds of valor per- formed by their regiment. In the evening the members of the various companies held reunions. _To-day public exercises were held in the M. E. church, with specches by promi- nent old soldiers, and much enthusiasm prevails. e PR A Jewelry Thief. Marcow, Ta., Oct. 20.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—This afternoon a colored man Doarded the incoming Rock Island train. Soon afterward the trainmen saw him trying to dispose of some jewelry at what scemed to be a ridicuously small price, judging from the quality of the trinkets, and he was closely watched. At the next station word was sent to Des Moines, and when the train reached there the vender of diamonds was placed under arrest. On reaching police headquar- ters he gave his name as James Robinson, aged twenty-three, originally Moscow, Tenn, & small near Memphis. He was searched and on his person were fonnd two gold watches, a pair. of diamond earrings, a pair of pearl earrings, a diamond brooch, two heavy watch chains and other valuable jcwf‘llv worth at the least calculation $1,000. " When asked to explain how the valuables came into his possession he hesitated and then said that Sam White, a stranger, had sold them to him at Malcom for #75. He was locked up to await devel- opments. The police telegraphed to Grinnell and learned that a heavy burglary had been committed the night before and that the ar- ticles taken corresponded with the list of those found on Robinson. It is supposed that Robinson burglarized the house in Grin- nell last night and making good his escape walked to Malcom, where he boarded the train, hoping thus to escape detection, Grand Lodge I. O.

The president expreased his pleasure at being able to visit Alabama, and said: “I believe that no southern state has within itself more elements of independent growth and development than Alabama.” After dwelling at some length on the inexhaustible agricul- tural and mineral resources of the state and its wealth and commercial greatness, he con- tinued: ‘“Every ton of iron you are enabled to furnish a northern state goes far towards destroying sectional feeling. Your fellow countrymen anmm the value of intimate and profitable business relations with you and thereneed be no fear that they will 'imrmh. them to be destroyed or endan- gered by designing demagogues. The wick- cdness of those partisans who seck to aid their ambitious schemes by engendering hate among a generous people is fast meet- ing exposure, and yet there is and should be insistance upon strict adherence to the set- tlément which has been made of dis- puted questions and upon nnreuen'od acceptance of such settlement. As against this I believe no_ business consideration should prevail and I firmly belicve that there is American fairness enough abroad in the Jand to insure proper and_substantial recog- nition of the good faith which you have ex- hibited.

NGTON, Oct. 20.—[Special Telogram thing will be done toward a formal reception to the president and Mrs. Cleveland upon their return to Washington next week. Some of the friends of the president have de- termined that he should be reccived as well in Washington as he had been at every other point along the route of the trip. But the people who came to the front and undertook 10 run the arrangements had a sum of money left over from the Sheppard affair and they proposed to use it in the illumination of the avenue with a pyrotechnical display. Those who are not quite ready to heppard this would be an excee y unwise po- cal move, They were sure that it would not receive the approval of the president if it came to his knowledge, as it certainly would. ‘or these reasons it was proposed to aban- the proposed reception and when the president and Mrs. Cleveland return they will drive to the white house as they have heretofore done—without any more cere- mony than the cheering of the crowd which will be ussembled at the station to welcome them back.

Counsel Confident That a Writ of Error Will Be Granted. WAsHINGTON, Oct. 20.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—Neither Black, Solomon, Pryor nor Butler, counsel for the anarchists, have yet arrived in the city, but all except, per- haps, Butler, are expected by a late train to- night. Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, who has had charge of the arrangements at this end of the line, is in the city and will take a prominent part in the proceedings. The ar- guments will be made by Messrs. Tucker, Pryor and Butler, and Black and Solomen will act as advisory counsel. Mr. Tucker is confident, as are all the rest of the counsel, that the writ of error will be granted on con- stitutional grounds and claim that they can cite the most convincincing precedents in support of their arguments, If the writ is granted a stay of proceedings will be or- dered and Oscar Neebe will be returned to the Cook county jail from the Jolict peniten- tiary. The state of Illinois would doubtless ask the discharge of the writs, but these of course would be refused. When the date for the hearing arrives the counsel for the state will move for the afirmation of the decision of the supreme court of Illinois. Then the case will be set down for trial on the calendar and it may be two years before it is reached, unless a special order be made. As both parties to the cause would pray for & special order, it is_possible that a hearing mnf’ be had inside of six months. If the writ of error be granted, in the eventof a reversal of the judgment of the state court, the case will be remanded for a new trial. Counsel for the anarchists will claim that Justice Magruder avoided the case, us made bfi' the state, and made entirely new arge of conspiracy not sustained by the records. For instance, the state hadasa principal the proposition that violent speech and counsel to disorder rendered those guilty of the act principal inall the criminal re- sults arising from such utterances. The strongest excoptions were taken to these rulings on the ground that they were uncon- stitutional. Judge Gary maintained his posi- tion, but Judge Magrader notonly held that there was nothing in the exception nor even in the attitude of the state to make these points vital. It is therefore asserted that he mndo up a Supposition charge of conspiracy. pon this and other similar points the coun- 'l expected to build up an impregnable case. passg ity For the Seven Condemned.

Statement of Secretary Bayard About the Seized Canadian Sealers. NEW Youk, Oct. 20.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.J—A Washington special to tho Herald says: Secretary Bayard was seen at @ late hour last night in regard to the alleged apology to Canada for the delay in releasing the Canadian sealers in the Behring sca. Mr. Bayard said: “In Fcbruary last the presi- dent of the United States ordered the release of those British vessels seized in the Beh- ing sea for alleged violation of the laws of the United States regulating the capture of fur seal. The fact that he had so ordered the release was at once communicated to_the British minister at the cupital, who, under instructions of his government, had inquired concerning the matter within a weok whether these vessels had been released in accordance with the president’s order. On_inquiry at the department of justice it was found to tho suprise of the secretary of the state that, ow- ing to some misapprelicnsion or misconcep- tion of the president’s order the vessels had not been rcleased, Thereupon the depart- ment of justice immediately renewcd the oder for their and the fact of this tho order of the president made in February was_at once communicated to the Briti minister with an_ exp; the first order had not been promptly obeyed. No other apology or communication whatever to the British government or to Canada has been made upon this subject.” An Ottawa special to the same paper says: Those who have watchied the controversy since the first seizurcs in August of lst year, the minister of justice thinks, cannot but have been struck with the vast amount of contradiction ou the part of the United States authorities. Long after the intelligence of the scizure of the Caroline, the Onward and the Thornton reached the 'Canadian govern- ment, the Washington authoritics, according to published correspondence, were waiting for wuthentic information froh Alusics. Re- peated demands were made by the imperial government for a statement of the intention of the United States government, and finally, in February of that year, came the order of the attorncy-general for the release of the vessels. v‘) the order of the government was disobeyed by the ofticials of the United States government in Alaska has been al- ready published, In the American press Mr. Bayard’s attention has, during the interven- ing moaths, been called to the conduct of th Alaska officials, and although in an inter ith 8 nowspager correspondent in Washing- ton he denied that it was possible for u United States officer not to carry out the wishes and orders of the government, cvi- dently he had had o contrary view forced upon his mind.

DECISION OF JUDGE JAMIESON, He Examines the Case Carefully By’ fore Coming to a Conclusion— Motion For an Arrest of Judgment. Bad For the Boodlers. Cnicaao, Oc —[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—-The “boodlers” in the omnibus case had their hopes of a new trial fastened to & rope of sand. At 10 o'clock this morning, when they filed into Judge Jumieson's court, all of them betrayed signs of nervousness, Manifestly they indulged some hope that the efforts of their lawyers might be, after all, rewarded with an advantuge, however slighty and mayhap lead to the granting of & new trial. Five minutes after Judge Jamicsom began to read his decision, however, these hopes were dashed, and twenty minutes later, when the reading was ended, ‘‘thd boys" found themselves one step—and a long one—nearer to the penitentiary. Almgst the last barricade in the technical fortifications of the defenso was down. During the pro- nouncement of the court the utmost stillnsg reigned. Most of the seats were occupied. In hise characteristic, terse and epigrammatio way Judge Jamieson went to the very root of the questions involved in the application for @ new trial. In rendering his decision Judge Jamieson suid the conspiracy should be proved, as alleged, and within a period cire cumscribed by the statute of limitations. 1% was urged that the court erred in admitting testimony tending to establish the conspi raap more than eighteen months prior to the fing ing of the indictment. Inuhwumhen on the state to establish the alleged_conspl racy, it was not improper to show when conapiracy began. Proof of its bcglnnhli and growth was proof of its existence. Thuf was obligatory on the prosecution to It was the “fault of the defens that the statute of limitation was nof brought to the attention of the jury. On the point of the discharge of the jurors, Ostrander and Parks, the point had been fully discussed during the progress of the trial. Touching on the pointy that Klehm furnished certain_ information ta the state, the court remarked that the infors mation only related to an attempt to pack the jury. “The defendants’ say that no suchl #chemo existed and if it did not exist Kehmy disposed of no_secret advantageous to the state and disadvantageous to the defendants, But if it did exist the exposure was credis table, no matter how unfairly it was ob- tained.” With regard to the testimony of the v (n(‘xs against Wren and the admission of s 1's books in evidence, nu-‘uu“ suid that they formed a part of the evidenc of the conepi and were thered foro " admissible,. Now triuls wera not granted, moreover, because of lucid b loyed by counsek in the heat of argument. The judge disy posed of the objections to his instructions to the jury in brief order. The court went ong “The jury that tried this case was an ex+ ceptionally intelligent body of men and X could not believe that the conclusion arvived at by them was reached through any medium other than the testimony which they heard. Nearly all of the instructions given on bey half of the people had received the sanctiom of distinguished courts, and upon the w!mla 1 can sec no reason why the original verdi should be disturbed.” Wassermun and Ochs, once the first words of the court made it plain that the motion was to be overrul leancd ~ back in their chairs an a sudden pallor oversprend lho{ faces. Wren occupied a seat bacl of the other defendants and his hands twitched nervously, as it he were doing his utmost to conceal a feeling of strong exs citement. When the court finally declared that the verdict of the jury could mot be dis= turbed, Attorney Sullivan moved for an are rest of judgment. Saturday next was fixed on as the day when a date for the discussion on this question should be submitted. By 10 the court instruc attorneys to be present o us to dispose of the whole ‘mat= ter as quickly as possible. The main point upon which the defense will rely is the ale leged circumstance that the boodlers were not given a trial within three mouths aftor the indictments against them were returned into court, TWE) Bad Wreck on the ¢ CrarLEsTON, W.
