As the heroes of Champion hill marched into the large room headed by General Lew Wallace and Gen eral McGinnis they halted and gave General Harrison three rousing cheers, General Wallace then presented each veteran by mame to General Harrison, who had a pleas ant word for every one. Thero was no specch making on either side. The veterans gathered close around General Harrison and carvicd on a running conversation for nearly an hour.

ENDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 19.—Contra announcement yesterday, Judge was prevailed on to atte m Bog 2ish's opera house uud s ly. During the aftornoon he went out riding and called on Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks aud visited the state capitol, When evening came he was in fine condition for a specch. The opera house has a seating capazity of 2,300, and by @ o'clock fully three thousand people had crowded inside the walls and were impa iently awaiting the coming of the speaker of the eveming. There were no bandanas on the stage, but the audience was abundantly supplied with them, When Judge Thurman entered with Governor Gray a storm of ap- wlause burst forth which lasted over two minutes. State Committee Chairman Jewett introduced Judge Thurman in a brief but glowing eulogy, and the audience once more yelled itself hoarse for a minute or more, hero was a great jam about the doors and «confusion, which at first interferred with hearing, but Judge Thurman's voice was clear and strong and Le spoke easily for thirty-nine minutes, Judge Thurman began his address by a glowing tribute to President Cleveland and his administration, characterizing him as a clean, pure, upright, intelligent, industrious and patriotie padministrator of ' the gencral government. He suid that four ycars ago this country rang with the prediction from political opponents that if Grover Cleveland Bhould be elected the country would be ruined. No calamity was so great that it was 1ot predicted in the cvent of his elec tion. Union soldiers were to bo deprived of thewr pensions, and rebel soldicrs were to re «ceive them. The rebel dobt was to be paid, 1 everything that was dark and_repulsive o the loyal people of the United States was sceure the pres to Thurman fo flourish like the Green Bay tree, but the people, he | said, bolieved no such thing, and elected this auan, who had discharged his duty faithfully in every station in which he had been placed. He then went on to demonstrate that no one of these predictions had come true. No union soldior had been deprived of his pension un der Cleveland’s administration. Not only twico as much money had been awarded to pensioners by bills signed by Grover Cleve- land or by allowances of the commissioner of pensions than was given by all his predeces- sors together, Noither had any rebel sol dier been pensioned. He concluded his svecch by a discussion of the tariff question, dn presenting which e pursued the same arguments utilized in his former speeches. Judge Thurman has consented to speak at Lima, O., October d will consequently not be i Cinciunati, as announced, on that date. Tho democrats here are very indignant ovor the fact thatTomlinson's hall, where they had hoped tomeet tonight, was not used, and they elaim it was routed by the re publicans siwply 1o shut them out.

CLEVELAND AND CONVICT LABOR Senator Teller's Expose of the Convict Labor Deal With an Indiana Firm — Workingmen Insulted— Towa's Mail Delivery, New Fort Omaha, WasHINGTON Bunear Tie Osany Ge, 513 FOURTRENTH STREET, WasitiNaroN, D, C, Oct. 19, ) General Schofield, fu talking to Tur Bee correspondent t Omaha, said “'As soon as I get a report from General Crook, who is at the head of the board to whom was referred the bids for the sale of ground, I will go out myself to pass upon the recommendation. I presume the board will indicate the bid it deems the best, and the ucceptance will fall to me. We shall regard the general eligibility of the site the first primary feature. Not only must the ground be located with respect to convenient access to Omaha, but there must be plenty of good water. And thenthe locality must be healthy. Health is the most important feature of the whole question. While we shall have regard to the price asked for the land, I do not think that will have great weight in view of the other qualitics of the bids, We want a model fort there, where we can make good and permanent improvements, and the location the basis of all, must be prime, for that as much as anything else has brought about the move for a new fort.” The general is in daily anticipation of the report from the board making investigation into the qualities of the sites offcred. He says there will be nothing of a secret nature in the recommendations of the board, CLEVELAND FAVORS CONVICT LABOR, If there is one act ubove another that should cause the laboring men of the country to put their feet down upon the neck of President Cleveland's administration, it is the one which Senator Teller of Colorado ex- posed yesterday and to-day in the senate. He pulled k the hypocritical veil from the face of the administration and showed that under Indian Commissioner Atkins, con- tracts were given for hundreds and hundreds s afternoon about new Fort of road and farm wagons to Cherry Morrow & Co., Nashville, lessees of the con- abor for the state of Tennessee; that 25, of last year, Clevetand made a pocket veto of which prolnvited the purchase by ernment of any kind of convict made goods, and very soon afterward an order was giveu to Cherry, Morrow & Co., for 400 of their wagons made by the penitentiary convicts and intended for and used in the Indian Territory. There were subsequently other large orders given by government ofticers for these wagons, Whether the president made a pocket veto of the bill making it a erime tousc for the government conviot made goods with an eve to these very contracts, is conjectural. 'This is what Senator Teller wants investigated. AN INSULT TO WORKINGMEN, But the infamous part of this business in connection with the interests of the laboring man is the fact that these contracts were made in competition with manufacturers who employ union labor. The lessees of Tennessee convicts pay about 23 cents a day per man_for their work, whileother manu- facturers pay from $1.50 to 3. The law pro- vides that the contract shall be let “to the lowest and most responsible bidder.” Pres- ident Cleveland has, by his various acts, in- cluding his pocket veoof the bill mentioned, said that the convict bid was notonly the lowest but the best. Is this not an insult to honest labor? 10WA'S FREE MAIL DELIVERY SERVICE.

Dr. Bramann Defonds Himself Against Mackoenzie's Criticisms, SENT BY AN ANONYMOUS FRIEND The Doctor Receives a Copy of the Proscribed Book and Tells a Re- porter What Ho Thinks About 1t, The German Side, (Copuright 1558 by ton Bennett.) Panis, Oct. 10, Herald Cable —Special to Tue Bee,]=Dr, I. Bramann is a private docent in surgery at the clinic of the Berlin university. On the Siogst Strasse where he lives and w' his friend von Bergmann lectures, Bramann is an army surgeon in reserve. He is small, keen, black unes Gon w Yor bearded, determined-looking man, Ho is good looking in spite of aterrible sabre-cut across the cheek. He is the Dr. Bra mann whom Mackenzie took to task on the bungling manufacture of tubes to be used in the emperor’s trache: “Mackenzie,” he remarked to-night to the Herald, “reproachies me with the fact that during the administration of chloroform on February 9, 1858, the emperor nearly lost his life. Asa matter of fact after the chloro: form had been administered and the oper tion was well under way, & slight faint ness became apparent in the illustrious patients, Here Bramann turned to a copy of the prohibited German version of Macken: zie's defense. L received it under cover,” he apologoti cally explained, “B full of unpleasant itlusions to me some one of those thoughtful friends we all have, sent it to me anouony- mously.” “Such faintness," resumed tho doctor, “often occurs with perfectly healthysubjects. It disappears as quickly as it comes. Now in regard to Mackenzie's reproach that the cut I made was three millimetres to the vight of the middle line, T can only say that it has no fouudation in truth, Anyone will admit that in a trachea of a strone, full grown man a deviation of three even if it existed, would appreci- able and the tube once introduced would have been without importanc That the trachea had been opened exactly in the middle was proved afterwards at several consultations, whex it was cavefully examined in the presence of all the attend- ng physicians. Mackenzie charges that the tubes I made were too large and especially too long. Now look at tis,” here Dr. Bramanu pointed to a plate representing his canula and another much smaller, of what Dr. Mackenzie claims to be the usual size, at page 53 of the German version of Mac- kenzie's defense. *“These plates present false showing,” said the doctor sharply. “‘In one of my tubes, supposed to represent tho millimetres, not be exact size of it, tho corking is not the same, the length is not the same by a good inch and it is represented as much larger at the upper than at the lower end, which it was not. You shall judge for yourself,” so saying, the doc- tor walked into the next room and returned in a moment, bearing in his hand the ident- ical silver tube in question that was worn in the dead emperor’s throat at San Remo and the subject of McKenzie's sketch. Let me compare the original and the copy,” said the doctor as he held the silver tube a little above the plate, The original was shorter by a good inch than the copy. “Compare the curving#" added the doctor. It was the same, the two curves were paral- lel, were segments of two concentrio circles. “And how is this a trick,” he con- tinued, pointing to a second plate on page 47, the one supposed to show a tube of normal size. My tube 18 represented in profile. The normal tube is in trois quarts which makes it appear smaller thon it really 8. He then explained the working of the silver tube he held in his hand. “They are the inventions of Hagedorn, Bose and others, Thereis a tube within atube. When the patient was choking this inner one was re- moved and cleaned without it being neces- sary to touch the other. The small round holes in the middle of the tube's length could be opened and when the orifice was closed with a cork the patient breathed through the tube below up into the mwouth and regained, for a short time, the use of his voice when it was pecessary for him to speak to the doctors. Now Mackenzie's tube, you sce tho plate on here at page 53 and which looks so much smaller than mine,was in reality quite as large as the one I have in my nand that was inserted into the trachea forty-eight hours after the ope- ration. The one inserted as soon as the ope- ration was over was a trifle lavger. In re- gard to this drawing, also the one on page 47 showing my canula pressing against the rear wallof the trachea, thereby causing the wound and spitting of bLlood always, accord- ing to Mackenzie, I can only appeal to Vir- chow and Waddeger's post mortem, when it was proven that below the cancerous growth, the mucous membrane, where the canula was supposed to be pressing, was in an entirely normal condition, 1f what Mack- enzie said had been true there must either have been a wound or the scar of one. Mack enzie says that my tubes, in consequence of the crooked art, had induced a destructive process in the trachea. In proof of this ne mentions the picces of cartilage brought up by coughing. Now, if what ho says were true the right side of the trachea would have exhibited at the post mortem a greater process of disintegration than the leftof it did, Mack' kenzie, in his big book on discases of the nose and windpipe, says necrosis of the cartilago in cancer cases, is by no means of rare oc- currence, It is curious, indeed, that he did not apply his own formula when he expressed an opinion on the emperor's case. Hovell's measurement, with which he so often dis- tressed his illustrious patient, must be con- sidered unreliable by anyone who carcfully examined Mackenzie's drawings,” TROOPS, A French Critic Exprosses a Very Poor Opinion of Them, | Copyright 1885 by James Gordon Bennett,] Paris, Oct. 1 New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee]—A French staff officer who saw the Italian troops re- viewed by Emperor William and King Hum- bert at Centocelle, writes his opinion of them to a French mulitary paper. He says: The Itallan troops arrived very early on the fleld. Their formation was effected very slowly and with great difticulty. The staff of- ficers galloped about without scem- ing to know exactly where they were going. The general officers talked loud and angrily, The colonels shouted and the majors and captains followed the noisy examples of the superiors, The march of the infantry was very commons place. The alignment was decidedly bad, The men looked about them to the right and to the left, just as if the show was all for thely special benefit, The oficers Were wore but wek , badly They were ace was too rapid for men who seemed very much fatig The step of the infantry is too long The Bersagliers marched past at o pas ¥ nastique that was almost a pas de course. Tho erowd applauded them with frenzy, ¢ pluncs are very effective to look at. When the race past was stopped the men were all out of breath, T 10 troops made a fine ap pearance. ey archied past excellently They are the only portion of the army that produced upon me an impression of complete satisfaction. Tho cavalry is badly mounted and the horsos are not well trained, nevertheless in better condition than in 1887, The artillery is badly horsed but manoeu vered tolerably well, The total number of troops on the 1d was st 1at 23,000, but this number seemed to me to be an ex ation, Neverthieless the troops were up from all parts of Italy. The ansport service was effected without dent but with great delay. Al the It wilways were blocked, The long list of gar 1 towns that were totally deprived of s gives an idea of what an enormous t was required for the Italian staft to place before the German emperor threc fourths of an army corps. The infantry of line came from Florence, Milan, Placentia, varia, Bologna, Veronica, Padua, ), Alessandria and Salerno. The Hersaglieri came from Cascrte, yrence, Treviso, Verona, Cremona, Genoa, Turin and Asti, The Alpine troops were sent from Braturin, Ivrea, Milan, Verona and Cologniaro, The cavalry came frowm Milan, Florence, Saluce, Santa Maria and Lucea. The artillery came from Foligrio, Caserta, Capus and Turin The engineers were sent from Florence and Pavia. . There was great delay and confu sion in transport the troops back again and railway trafiic was almost entirely sus pended. g BETRAYED BY HIS MISTRESS, How the Notorious Prado Vainly At tempted to Regain Liberty. [Copuriaht 188 b James Gorton et} Panis,Oct. 19.—[New York Herald Cable Speciat to Tie Bee. ] —Prado, the alleged murderer of Marie Agalton, the courtesan whose assassination in the Rue de Rome caused such a sensation three years ago, is was arrested a daring again before the public, He last July and made a few days attempt o escape from the prison Ho constructed a rope ladder out of sheets and concealed this under his clothing. o obtained permission to have an interview with his mistress in the bureau of one of the kecpers and it was from this roon that he expected to let himsclf down onto a neighboring roof and so gain his frecdom. His only mistake was in making a poor choice in his female confederate, for it appears that the woman instead of aiding her former lover coolly handed over his letter of explanation to the police, who prowptly put an end to the scheme. In an examina- tion which followed this attempt at regaining his liberty, Prado declareq, in reply to a question as to his identity, that he was au illegitimate son of the emperor Napo leon 111, his mother having been one of the empress’ maids of honor. That startling statement is not entirely discredited, and will doubtless lead to an investigation. Prado is quick and intelligent, and is studying up his defense.

Cnicago, Oct. 19.—[Special Telegram to Tue BEEe.|—The most severe thunder, light- ning and hail storm known in this city for yoars prevailed sabout fifteen minutes last evening. The stones which fell were of cx- cecdmgly large size. The storm was accom- vanied by a severe galeof wind, Thousands of panes of glass and electric light globes without number were shattered. One no- ticeable feature of the storm was the effect on horses, No less thard seven runaways took place on down town stroets, each result- ing in the wreckage of vehicles and in one o the serious injury of aman. A strect carand a heavy wagon collided on Madison street, shaking up the passengers and scar- ing them badly. Two houses were struck by lightning and burned. The streets were abandoned by pedestrians during the contin- uance of the'storm. Atthe crib, away out in the lake, nearly all the glass surrounding the lamps was simashed, and the high gale dashed the waves and spray to the top of the tower. Thesignal service observer says it was the most remarkable storm, considering the con- ditions, which he had' known.
