Max O'Rell Says Some Outrageous Things About the Americans, LoNvoy, Nov. 12 ~Max O'Rell has been giving his opinion ina lecture as to what Americans are like. His exaggeratians are amusing, but so extravagant as to take away all value from his criticism. He declares that no man with any self respect any- thing to do with affairs of statc in Ameri and that if a senator accidentially eains ad- mittance to a select entertainment the cus- tom of the master of the house is to order that the silver as well as the coats and hats in the hall be carefully watehed. There is more common sense_in his observation as to American fondness for profanity. He tells of an American poker party on an English steamer, of which each member laid_down cach card with a new and distinet oath. The same poker party, a short time after ward, sang hiymus over two hours. Max de clares that he has met men in othiercountries who swore and also, he is glad to say, who sang hymns, ‘but America alone produces men who do both with equal facility.

Cucago, Nov. 12.—The celobration of the first anniversary was observed here yester day of the hanging of the Chicago anar- chists when two train loads carried several thousand of sympathizors out to Waldheim cemetery. The entire affair was tame, though the floral contributions were most elaborate. After the opening speech by Robt. Reitzel of Detroit, and # hymn vendered by the socialist Sunday school, the feature of the day was announced, and this, t00,was very tame. It wus a letter from A. R. Parsons to his children, which was not to he ovened till to-day. It was dated “Dungeon No. 7,Cook county jail, Nov. 9, 1887, and wus filled with kindly and ' fatherly advice to his children, After its rending Wm. Holmes an old friend of Parsons made a mild speech. Paul Grottlau then spoke and a chorus of 300 male voices ended the celebration. - THE B. P. O. E, A Reception Given to Exalted Grand Ruler Leech. Omauha Elkdom had a “corking” good time lust night.

The Magnitude of Their Victory a Pleasing Surprise. THEY ELECT TEN CONGRESSMEN, And Roll Up a Plurality For Harrison of Nearly 50,000-One Lone- some Democratic e resentative. Towa's Al Right. Drs Morses, Ia, Nov. 12.—[Special to Trr Bee.|—What's the matter with lowa She's all right " is a common remark in this state since elcotion, The magnitude of the publican victory has surprised everyone. The democrats half hoped to carry the state, or at least bring the republican majority a way down below the average. The repub licans did not think they werc going to be defeated, but they feared that the state might not give as good an account of itself as usual. Under these circumstances, it would scem us if lowa nad done a little better than any other state, considering what was ex pected, and what was achieved. No longer ago than the closing days of congress, Rep. resentative Wheeler, of Alabama, declared on the floor of the house, that “oven lowa is a doubtful state.” Chairman Brice took pains on several occasions to give public -no tice that the democrats had a good ohauce to carry Towa. Considering that the republi CANS W mbarrassed by the fight of the railronds against thom, by the enemies that prohibition had made, und by the attempt of the third party proliibitionists to break their line, they would have been glad,three months apo, to be guaranteed 10,000 pluarality.

Des Moixes, Ta,, Nov. 12,—[Special to Tag Bie.]—This is the first time in the history of the party that the republicans have clected ten congressmen in fowa. It is also the first time in many y that they have elected vory cougressman but ono, so that th congratulate themselves upon a sweeping and unprecedented victory. The uew dele gation contains some excellent timpor. Just half of the republicans will be new members There will bo a good deil of interest in se ing what John F. Lacey, the man who beat ‘Weaver in the Sixth district, will do. The fact that he did beat that shrewd and able campaiguer will attract attention to him, as other men have tried to do that in t six years, and completely failed. Mr. is a keen, clear-headed lawyer, one best in Iowa, a man of wide reading and v: ied information, and likely to -take a prom nent rank in congress. The new member {rom the Niuth district, Judge Reod, will furnish the dignity for the whole delegation. He is now n judge of the supreme court, and he moves about with all .the dignity and solemmity bofitting _ that position With his long beard and portly figure, he looks like a statesman of the old school. Tho judge is extromoly popular, as his large majority shows, and he led the ticket in his district. If it had been anybody else, it would be proper to say he ran way ahead, but Judge Roed nover runs, No one 18 known to have ever seen him runm, yet he arrives there, notwithstanding. The young- est member of the delegation will ve Mr. J. ted from the Teuth district, He is about thirty-one years old, and already well known throughout tho State, and to some extent in other states, for his popular oratory. Heis in great demand as a cam- paign “speaker, and was on the stump in Maine, New York and New Jersey this year before he began work in his own distri Colonel Sweney, the member-elect from the Fourth district, has been prominent in the state senate as'a champion of anti-monopoly legislation. He wus the author ot the Swe- ney law compelling corporatius dojng busi ness in tue state to incorporato under tho laws of the state, which the United States supreme court declared unconstitutionsl He was chairman of the railway committée in the last state senate, and prominent in the anti-monopoly legislation of the winter. Mt. Flick, who will represent the Eighth dis- trict in place of Mr. Anderson, .is probably the least known of any of the new members. He served a - terin in the legislature several yeats ago, and has been district attorney of his ju- dicial district. but has not been. prominent n state politics. Of the old members, Gear in the First, Canger In the Seventh and Hen- derson are all well known, while Kerr in the Fifth and Struble In the Eleventh,have done good worl in congress, though they hav not taken a very prominent posifion there, especiaily Kerr. Hayes, from. the Second district, will be rather lonasome s the only democrat trom Towa. His majority was out down very much, and his next térm will probably end his career in congress. Taken as a whole, the Towa delégation will compare very favorably with that of any state. Big lowa Ratifications. Cannovr, Ia., Nov. 12.—[Speoial to Tur Bk, |—Five large delegations from, Odebolt, Denison, Glidden, Mapning and Templeton, headed by their respective bands, joined the Carroll Harrison club in the grandest politi cal demonstration ever held .in Carroll county. After the immoese procession in the evening the crowd was addressed for a fow moments by B. L Salinger, who produced five minutes of uproarious chgering by start- ing out by asking ‘What the matter with Harrison.”” After the address the immense crowd was treated to a supper of roast ox, bread, pork and beans, hundreds of pounds of food being served. The ladies Harrison club of 130 ladies in uniforms attracted a great deal of attention in the parade, as did_several prominent dem ocrats who paid election bets by wheeling some republican friend around at the head of the parade. The festivities ended at 11 o'clock by o magniticent display of fireworks.

Drs Moixes, L., Nov, 13—[Spocial to T Bre,j—1Ihe correspondence in regard to the taxing of certain Italian laborers along the lineof the Northyestern vailroad has been mude public. Governor Larrabee sustains the actlon of the local authorities at Strat- ford, Hamilton county, in deciding that these laborers were obliged to pay poll tax. The letter of the county attorney sotting forth the facts shows that the alien contract labor law had been violated in bringing them there, and that the railroad company encour- aged them to resist the collection of the tax, and assisted them Aut of town when an at tempt was made to compel them to work upon the streets. ‘The laborers appealed to the Italian consul at Chicago, and he in turn to the Italian ministor at Washington, and he referred the matter to Secretary Baya) who submitted it to the governer, *The di appearance of the laborers practically ended the case, but the governor holds that as_ citi zeus enjoying protectiong they weré under obligations to_pay a poll tax, even though they had not been naturalized, Dy arture of a Prominent Oitizen, Dis Morses, Ia, Nov, 12.—[Special to Tue Bri.]—A notable departure from Des Moiues yesterday was that of Hon.

A tolegram anuouncing the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Howe was received in Omaha yes- terday morning, and was at once conveyed to tho palatial residence of Charles H. Fow- ler, No. 1715 North Sixtcenth streot, by a mounted messenger, who gave it to Mrs. She tore it open and read. Then placing her handsito her head, she” uttered a piercing” moufi;und fell prostrate in tho doorway. Her thibe children, nouo of whom havereached thijrymajority, in life, were in the rear portion.of: the residence, and hear- ing their mothtr scream, rushed to the rescue, and thoffiy badly frightened, man- agedto convey hérto asofa in the parlor, after which aid was summoned. After lying in a semi-conscioys condition for a shory period, during which time she clung tightly to the ill-fated ‘message, recovered her senses, and rerciitl the tidings again, while scalding tears td\‘,l{lod down her cheeks. The victims of the réported tragedy were her aged father and, mother. Her husband, C. H. Fowler, who is of the milling firm of Grant & Fowle sent_for, and upon reading the disgateh immediately wired an answer stating Lsmi he and the famly would start on the earliogt, cast-bound train. The dajegram ho_ sont jwas ,addressed to L.J, Hodge, who first impartod the information to the Fowler hougéhold, and who is also a son- in-law of the murdered Howes. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, accompanied by their three children, left on the 6:35 Rock Island train for the 'scenc of the affair, ye terday evening. Peter Howe, one of the victims, was a banker at Wenona, I1l,, and conducted an ex- tensive business under the firm name of Poter Howe & Sons, His wealth is rateg at between $700,000 and £1,000,000. The Howes resided about one-half mile'out of Wenona, which is a hamlet of about two thousand souls. The aged couple lived by themselyes, and 1o house was located in the immediate Aocality. The husband. was seventy-six years of age, and his wife had passed her seventieth milestone in life. The only occu- pant of the house, ~aside frem the aged couple, was a_domestic, of German parentage. 'The girl had been in the employ of the family for a considerable length of tim Mr. Howe was in the habit of reaching the bank every morning in the ycar at the usual hour for bauks to open for ‘business. But a small amount of money was kept 1n the bank at any period, and in case the murder wa committed for that purpose it must hav been executed by somevody who had been misled as to the amount to be secured. Ono theory is that the author of the crime is one Barnhart, who is said to be the step- father of the servant girl employed in the Jowe household. An Associated Press tele- gram to Tik BE stated thut as soon as the suspicion of Bernbart's complicity in the murder bhad been thoroughly aroused. A mob of the representative citizens of the vil- lage was organized for the purpose of Lynch- ing hin, when captured. He was given liot pursuit, and evidently realizing that he would moet with instant death should he be overtaken, drew a knife from his pocket and cat his own throat, dying in a short time, The servant girl is supposed to have been implicated and was placed under arrest. Telegraphic reports to the effeet that should definite proof of the girl having been implicated ascertained, she will die by the hands of the avengers. AMUSEMENTS, For riotous, exuberant, rollicking, uninter- rupted fun, the Hanlon Brothers' farcical comedy of “Lo Voyage en Suisse” occupies a place in the class of unquestionable pre-emi- nence. This production, which it is quite impossible to describe m auy other than gen- eval terms, was presented at Boyd's opera house last night, uud witnessed by one of the largest and best pleased wudiences of tuc season. The first act had not progressed far when everybody i the house was placed in the best of humor, aud thenceforward the continuous flow of drell and merry incidents xept the audiewee in a veritable up- roar of laughter and Roplause. There is, of course, in this meddey of ludicrous tricks and mishaps, wild priatiks and rollicking mis chief, nothing of -plot- or dramatic arrange- ment, but there is just enough suggestion of the former to Iniufi% -‘fhc incidents on in the marriage of an olddn to a young villuge beauty who doen't care anything about him, but is very fond of 4 young man who man- ages in one way aid “Another to be all the time near to her.
