—_— _EIGHTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA MONDAY. MORNING, JUNE 10, 1889, Y [ s NUMBER 356 JULES FERRY'S POOR SHOT. The Opportunist Leader Did Not Effect a Oapture. THE EXTREME LEFT AND RIGHT. For Once the Conservatives and Rad- icals Find Themselves on Com- mon Ground—The Fight Over Religion and Instruction, An Echo of Gambetta. [Copyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett. | Panis, June 9.—[New York Herald Cable ~Special to Tie Bre.) — ‘Between two stools one comes to the ground,” is the vul- gar proverb which is applicable to Jules Ferry and the opportunist party at this mo- ment. Ferry sought in his speech in the chamber Thursday to satisfy both the ex- treme left and right, and offended both more deenly than ever, De Mun and Clemenceau being as one in rejecting the overtures he made to the respective parties. T'he opportunist leader, it will be remem- ‘bered, concluded his speech by an appeal for religious peace; but, as we have pointed out, in the previous article, there was a flagrant contradiction between this appeal and the subject matter of the first portion of his dis- course. ‘“The opportunists,” he declared at the outset, ‘“neitber regretted nor wished to retract any part of their past policy, so far as the education laws and religious questions ‘were concerned.” Now this policy was based upon the idea conveyed in the words of Gambetta: ‘“le clericalism ec'est 'ennemie,” and had for its outcome, “Article 7,” the dissolution of re- ligious orders, laicisation of schools and hos- pitals and the expurgation of magistrates and functionavies accused of clericalism, often on the sole ground that they went to church Sundays, or that their wives were assiduous in the practice of religious duties, or that they placed their children in schools con- ducted by Catholes. All this was recalled by Comte De Mun in eloquent and forcible language, and from it the inference is drawn that the conservatives could not possibly place any reliance upon Ferry’s words in re- spect to his desires for religious peace; more particularly as the opportunists, far from regretting the past, declared their intention of continuing to enforce the education laws, and the laicisation of schools and hospitals. ‘While the conservatives on the one hand rejected Ferry's advances, the radicals, on the other, protested in strong terms against the language and attitude of the opportunist party. According to Clemencea tho ex- treme left isaverseto making any con- cessions in favor of religious peace, and his ollowers are prepared to go to the bitter end rather than retract one step in the line of march they had marked out for them- selves. Clemenceau diameterically opposed the measure and declared conciliation out of question in any case. Ferry’s advances have been unfortunate for himself and his party. He has neither inspired the right with confidence in his pro- fessions, nor modified the anti-religious pas- sions of the extreme left. This failure is, in a great measure, due to the fact that the po- sition of the opportunists 1s both false and equivocal; instead of taking a definite, open stand, they have cringed to both moderates and radicals, with the usual result, that they have offended both. The opportunists have delivered themsclves up, bound hand and fool, into the power of the radicals, who, as usual, will reap the old rewards. e e e A PRECOCIOUS SUICIDE, A Thirteen-Year-Oid Boy Tastes Car- bolic Acid.

This allusion Las been happily dis yeliod, bowerer, and the success of tho first of soerles of Lbautuuqua assemblies at Be- atdles 8 amuted, The best Chuutaugua talent in the country has been procured, and the programme in all its details is a magniti- cent one, The fact that ninety acres of the most attractive suburban property, Riverside park, has been taken from the market and devoted under a ten year lease for Chautau- qua purposes exclusively, is a sufficient guaranty of ita pormanancy. Riverside park 8 located within the corporation limits of the city on the south side of the Blue river, and is one of the prettiest and most finely shaded parks in the west. The grove con- sists largely of young trees, ash maple and elm, and collrum[f through it is a small creek bordered with stately elm, oak and walnut, Charming driveways have been laid out and graded, and one fine road borders the river, affordmg glhmpses of the beautiful blue along the eastern front of the assembly grounds. The river is also pro- vided with abundant boats for rowing pur- poses, and a stretch of smooth water for over three miles is afforded. 'I'he great tabernacle, ¥2x132 feet, is now completed and is one of the most spacious, durable and handsomo structures of the kind in the country. It is located on a beautiful plateau about the center of the park. The study nalls, various headquarter buildings and many handsome and artistic cottages are scattered throughout the grounds. Several boarding halls have been provided for, one by the ladies of the M. E. church and others by other denominations, Those attending the Beatrice Chautauqua assembly, at Riverside park, June 23 to July 9 inclusive, are offered : Excellent and varied opportunities for study. Contact with able and enthusiastic in- structors. Latest and best methods in Sunday school education. Practical exercise of a novel and attract- ive kind, Opportunities to hear some of the leading divines, orators and lecturers of the day. One great attractive feature will be the %rcnenco now positively assured, of the Rev. Sam P, Jones. The fact that the Rt. Rev. Bishop New- man, of the M. E. diocese of Nebraska, is presldent of the Beatrico Chautauqua_asko- ciation, is also a strong guaranty of its ex- cellence.

An un- usually large acreage was sown. A large amount of breaking has been done. The majority of the cattle have been shipped, all going to the Omaha market. Sches ter & Falkner have shipped within the last month, forty-seven cars of bay, thirteen of cattle, eight of hogs and five of corn. P. J. Murphy shipped six loads of hogs and five of corn. Many farmers have shipped their own cattle. George Thrush, the most extensive feeder, shipped seven cars of cattle to Chicago yesterday. This is a total of 108 cars of stock, corn and hay that Rogers has exported in the last month. Yet the place is not two years old, the population is about one hundred and eighty-five. It has one gen- eral merchandise store, a hardware, a grocery and a drug store, livery barn, black- smith shop. hotel, butcher shop and saloon. A good doctor could make money by locating here.

The Sioux Commission’s Work. Rosknun, via Valentine, June 0.—[Special Telegram to Tue The stampede begun Friday continued yesterday, though in shightly diminished numbers. The tables were placed in the council room of tho agent's official headquarters, and were sur- rounded by groups of Indians waiting their turn to touch the pen, which constitutes the signing, clerks being present to perform the manual act of inscribing the name. The council where the comniission met the objectors and made a final effort to explain away any misconception of the bill was held yesterday afternoon. After some prelimi- nary remarks, the Indian orator, Hollow Horn Bear, as the representative of the ob- jectors, addressed the commission in about this language: “We aro here to talk to the commission in a spirit of friendship, but we want to say. what is in our mind. We know that the white men are crowd- ng upon us, and our land is go- ing away from us. The Jndian must £0 to the earth. Soon ho will have only land enough for his grave, and tho white man will want that, Yesterday you, Three Stars, called me a woman, ITamglad I am hike a woman, Yesterday I wasthere in council, and then I was like a woman, I had nothing sharp hanging from my belt or I might have beenaman, Now I say, like yesterday, get all these agencies here and talk, and then sign or not, as we decide. Last night tho half-bloods talked cross to me, and 1 did not like that, for I was a friend to all Indians and white men.” Yellow Hair, who has always opposed the treaty, then said: *I wantto be a white man and work like a white man, as my great father asks me to. I want, when I work, to get good pay for it, and 'to learn to bo @& blacksmith, carpenter and so forth. When I was in ‘Washington the great father took me around and was a friend to me. He promised me many things, but we did not get them. Why did they lie to ust Some white men come here and are good to us and are our friends, We are glad when such men come here and are their fricnds. Ishake hands with you with a good heart. You give me rations and Tam glad. We must learn to work and know how to make a living. We want the Indians and half-bloods to be employed at the agency, then the money will stay here and not go east, like now, when the white men do the work.” The entire police force of the agency then ranged themselves in a line, while their cap- tain, Little Dog, addressed the commission, asking for better provision for the police, and praised the agent for his friendship to them, after which Major Warner explained the law in regard to the contlict batween this treaty and that of 1868, this being no abroza- tion of the former but simply adding to that. Hollow Horn Bear then calied upon Three Stars to talk to them, which he did in a very fine speech, in which'he spoke of his exper— iences among the Apaches, and his sorrow .that the Sioux were not progressing as rapidly. The general further continued: “Atter being away from you for eleven years 1 come back. I think you ought to treat me better, when I come up to your council to ex- plain the law to you. I was told you under- stood the matter. Now you come hefe and say you do not understand. I think 1t is not right to treat a frieud in this way.” Allud- to the ity of population east or the Mis- souri river in 1865, the general said that the white men were like birds, and hatched out brood after brood who, for want of room, were crowding westward more rapidly th: was cxpected at the time of the treaty. “Last year I did not think the price enough, now, I think, we offer you enough; and as your friend I advise you to ac this offer. Do you not know I am your frie by my acts? To do you good costs us money and time, and trouble, as well as much thought, and by this you may know Iam your friend.” Speaking of Hollow Horn Bear, the general said that with his brains and oratory he could become the most prom- inent man on the reservation. Here Hollow Horn Bear interrupted and remarked that when the man became a chief a bullet might burst on his head. Spotted Tail was given a8 an instance of this, his slayer, Crow Dog, peing present to hear the talk. Major Warner also made a warm appeal to them to leave their idle habits and become citizens and civ d. Pwo Strikes made a speech m which he asked for additional price for the land, though he had been often told by the commissioners that they had no power to grant it. An invitation being tended to the Indiansto sign, many ward and touched the pen, There has been no regular council to-day, but there were a number of small ones, both among the opposition and friends of the bill, those of the.opposition largely predominat- ing. The Indiuns have been coming Slowly, but steadily, ail day and signing, Uy to this time about seven hundred bnave touched the pen. Hollow Horn Bear, who delivered his great speech yesterday in op- position to the bill, and which created a pro- found sensation at the time among both fac- tions, after a long consultation with his band and relatives last night is of greatly changed views to-day, and intimate friends state cm- phatically that in the end he will sign, If this is so it will be a big strike in the right direction. The three most prominent chiefs now on tho opposition -are Yellow Hair, Spotted Tail and Quick Bear, chief of the Whasiaas, These two men have a strong following and a large portion of it will be difiicult to change, 8o sev are they in their views. The total number of voters over eighteen who ave allowed to vote is 1,333; the requisite number, three-fourths of the legal votes to adopt the bill will be, 1,038, and this does not include the reservation of white men incor- porated with the Indians by marriage, as heretofore described. Now that the rush of the friends of the bill is over, one can more fully realize the work and dificulty yet to be done, and prejudices to overcome, before the bill is brought to a successful issue, and it will take stupendous work to secure the last hundred votes. There is no doubt that if General Crook was not with the comunssion its efforts would be a signal failure. But the Indians koow him and trust and believe in him. Governor Foster aud Major Warner, while extremely able men, have had no intercourse with the Indians except in the councils, Many Indians, who wero strongly opposed to the bill, have gone to General Crook and asked him for his word if the bill were right; and when he told them he believed it was, they have gone and signed iv, Theroe is another thing here, which is only known to the initiated, that of little wheels within wheels, for there is no doubt there are par- ties high in agency circles here, who for personal gams and importance Luve endeay- ored to clog the work of the commission for their own particular benefit. So when the coup d'etate comes, they will be on the win- ning side and wagnify their influence. None know this more fully thau the eominissien, Wwho Lave too long heads to be fooled in the least by whatever pretensions, s A Favorable Report, Rosewup, June 9.—At the council last night Hollow Horn Bear withdrew from the opposition, and this mornimng High Hawk signified his agregment, and both will sign, ‘This breaks up the unfriendly element and sures the acceptance of the terwms offered ¥ the government, so far as this agency is concerned, The copunission will rewain fow days longer, in ordor to obtain tho sig- natures of Indians l|V|n‘ M distant points, and will then go to the Ridge agency.

Iowa Democrats Leading Out Their Prancing Steeds, Drs Morxes, Ia., June 9.—[Speeial to Tur Bre.|—The canvass for the nomination for governor has so far boen confined almost ex- clusively to republicans. The democrats are just beginung to snow a little interest and are leading out several horses that they think might make the race. Among these are the following: General S. L. Glasgow, of Bur- lington, an able lawyerand an excellent cam paigner; Colonel P. G. Ballingall, of Ot} tumwa, a rather light weight but a very pop- ular democrat, who loves his party and spends hus money freely for it; Hon. Horace Boies, of Waterloo, formerly a republican, but now as bourbon as the most; Senutor Bolter, of Harrison covnty, who is quite pop- ular with the old time *‘unterrificd;” Hon, D. O. Finch, of this city, at present United States district attorney, a good lawyer and a fiio spoaker, and Hon. Jerry Murphy, formerly congressman from the Davenport district. There was atime when he had a great ambition to run for governor, but he is something of a back number now, and quite out of politics. Captain Merrill, of Clinton, is ngain discussed. He, too, was anxious to run for governor at one time, but his good soldier record wasn't a match for the old, fossilized politician from Monona county, and 80 Whiting was nominated and Merrill was left out. He isn’t likely to be ambitious to lead a forlorn hope, after being snubbed four years ago. Hon. John H. Craig, mayor of Keolcuk, has some reputation in having beaten Mayor Irwin on the issue of the enforcement of prohibition in Keokuk. He is supposed to be a candidate, The names of Colonel Charles A, Clark, of Cedar Rapids, and Fred Lehmaun, of this city, are always brought up. Either would make a strong candidate, but neither would consent. Both are good lawyers, and can not afford to waste time or money in politics. So far there scems 10 be no drift of choice in candidates, Soldiers’ Monument Commission. Des Moixes, Ia., June 9.—[Special to Tne Bee.]—Governor Larrabee has called a meeting of the soldiers’ monument commis- sion, at Iowa City, June17. 1t is expected that the commission will be prepared then to make some definite recommendations to the legislature. The commission have found the work of greater magnitude than they had an- ticipated, The appropriation of 5,000 for getting the work started gave them little chance to figure on the ultimate cost, and they decided to spend a part of this money in offering cash prizes for designs, They are nearly swamped with the result of the com- petition, so many excellent models and de- signs have been submitted, Sowme of the oid soldiers are trying to work up a feeling in favor of a memorial hall instead of a monument. They think that a smitable and beautiful building could be erected that would serve as a kind of de- pository of war relics, batue flags, regi- mental records, ete., and afford u' place where the old soldiers could hold their an- al reunions, The plan meets with some or and some opposition. It will be de- cided by the next legislature, But the com- missioners are strongly opposed to anything in the way of a building, and they think that the original idea of an imposing and beautiful shaft’ or statue should be carried out, and they will so recommend to the legislature, The commissioners are very competent men, and well fitted by study, travel and general culture to act wisely for the interest of the state. Governor Larrabee is ex-ofticio a member of the commission and chairman, Other members are ex-Governor' Kirkwood, fowa City; Hon. D, N. Richardson, editor Davenport Demoerat; Hon, James Harlan, of Mount Pleasant, and ex-Senator George G. Wright, of this city. s S Prison fteform.

Ninc*Tenths of the Laborers Volun- tarily Kept On at Their Task Yesterday—Little Fear of An Epidemic. Sunday Among the Dead. Jonxsrows, Pa, June 9.—To-day is the tenth day since the disaster occurred, aud the extent of the fatality can be appreciated when it is known that bodies are still being found wherever men are at work. Fifty- eight bodies were recovered to-day. The re- mains that are now being removed from the drift are far advanced in decomposition, and the physioians in charge are advocating cre- mation as fast as found, as it is almost im- possible to handle them sately. The work of clearing away the debris 18 progress. ing encouragingly. The workmen were not required to work to-day, but nine- tenths of them voluntcered to continue. As a result a large inroad was made on the drift in the central portion of the city. Main street, which is the principal thorough- fare and one of the worst blockaded, is now about cleared. At tho wreckage obove the stone brmgn_ work is going on rather slowly. The force is small ana the difficulties great. Religious services were held at many ponts to-day. Most of the suburban towns where church buildings remained had regu- lar services. In Johnstown open-air mect- ings were hela at different points. This being the hottest day since the disaster, the weather is telling on the workmen. With the fires constantly kept going, burning up rubbish, and the hot sun, many of them were exhausted before evening, The hot sun beat- ing down on the wreckage above the bridge has developed the fact that many bodies of animals and prebably of human beings are yet in the ruins. The stench arising from this pile has been more offensive to-day than at any time yet. Governor Beaver arrived this morning. He spent the day in yisiting the ruined por- tions of the city and in driving up the Coue- maugh valley. Ho had a conference this afternoon with the committee heretofore in charge, and as a result_will assumo control Wednesaay morning. He left this-evening for Philadelpbia. The Western Unlon is pushing forward its lines, and to-morrow will open an office in the Morrell buildieg in Johnstown. The Associated press will also secure quarters in the city proper, to-morrow, and the whole newspaper forco will be transferred from the west side bridge to what was the busi- ness portion of Johnstown, The two large hospitals here, the Cambria and the Bedford, have but little to do now, but a large corps of physicians are kept busy. Since the flood, over five hundred persons have received the attention at the physicians at the Cambria hospital. At the Bedford hospital, 862 injured persons were cared_for, and when they could be re- moved safely, were taken to the Pittsburg hospitals. The health of the valley is unusu- ally good notwithstanding the reports of a threatened epidemic. The following bulletin is issued by the state board of health and speaks for itsell: “The general condition in Johnstown and vicinity is excellent. No epidemic diseasc of any kind prevails, nor is it expected that any \vle,l arise. The state board of healtl is pre- pared to meet all emergencies as they arise. “The air is wholesome and the weter generally pure. 1f the good peopie of the devastated distriet will go on as they have so nobly for the past week n their efforts to clean up the wreckage, good health will certainly be maintained.” Dr. Groff, of the state board of health, suys the ~valleys have been swept so. clean by the great floods that the river waters ure now bvurer than before the disaster. There is a differ- ence in the contaminating power of decom- posing orgunic matts That from bodies dead of contagious disease would be far more dangerous than that from bodies of healthy persons. As itis, the bodies in the river ave generally covered with from one to six feet of mud and sand. This earthy matter absorbs all the efiluvia and acts as the best of disinfectants, There is no pres- ent danger as to the water supply of Pitts- urg at Johnstown. The only present danger is from people being frightened into sickness by sensational reports. Dr. John S. Miller and Dr. . M. Strouse are in charge of the Red Cross outposts, which are located in the very midst of the ruins. The flag of the Red Cross on the white field of tents is a welcome sign of refuge to many workmen who are suddenly stricken while at work on the ruins. Sev- eral cases of vandalism and robbery were reported to-day. Last night a number of cars containing supphes were broken into and the contents carried off, What the thieves could not steal they trampled and ruined.

Chinn McCreery, of the reief committee, said he thought it was time the relief committee were relieved of the work of clearing away the debris, by the state. Tho governor said that all nccessary morey could be raised; that there were 200 men who would become responsible for §5,000 each; that be would give his bond to the state treasurer for $1,000,000 with those of the 200 men as his bondsmen, and the state treasurer would then pay out £1,000,000 for necessary work., When the legislature met the monoy withdrawn from the treasury could be appropriated. He said the money already subscribed should be entirely used for the relief of the sufferers, and the money from the state treasurer would be used for storing the vicinity to its condition before the fiood. All the debts already contracted for the removal of debris should be paid, but all money paid out for this purpose from the relief fund shall ve refunded, so every cent subscribed for tho relief of the stricken peo- ple shall be used for that purposo alone. The governor has $240,000 in his hands now for the relief fund, A committeo . of seven well known men of the state will be appoint- ed to disburse the relief fund, and the pres- ent relief committeo is to continue until the comussion is appointed. Ipl an interview to-night Governor Beaver said: “The funds which have come into my hands from many quarters outside of the nd which have been imposed upon mo cred trust will be expended wholly and absolutely for the benefit of individual sufferers, No part of it will be expended in the work which is_legitimately the domain of tho stute under its police power.” 218 Inquisitions Returned.

Other delegates were present also fromuNew York aud New Jersey. Chief Artbur presided. ‘While all proccedings were secret, it 1s known that it was very lively, and no sooner had it been called to order than a dozen del- egates were on their feet demanding of Mr. Arthur the reason of his alleged speech made in Chicago, asserting that he would never countenance another strike. He replied in a long speech, denying emphatically that he ever said such a thing, claiming that the Associated press nas pur- posely misrepresented him throughout the country. This announcement was received with cheers. The men on the numerous roads leading from Boston are greatly dis- satistied with both their time and pay. Tho tremendous heavy suburban passenger and general freight business makes the former Very excessive. They will shortly demand a number of concessions from all the eight roads leading from Boston, and it looks as if a big strike is threatened. e HONORING BRUNO.

WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE ? he Annual Loss to the Service Al most Beyond Belief—Changos Kxpected in the Treasury Department. 518 FOURTERNTA STRRET, Wasninarow, D. C,, June 9. Thero seems to bo good reasons for the be- lief that President Harrison will shortly issue a second *genoral amnosty” proclama= tion, granting pardon to all deserters from the army. The annual loss to the service from this cause is almost beyond belief, and the best minds at headquarters are constantly trying to formulate some pian which will bring the number of deserters down to tha minimum. Referring tothe subject, Colonel H. R. Misener, Seventeenth infantry, com- manding the post at Fort D. A. Russell, says: . ood soldiers do not desert the service, and no better soldiers can be found than in this command. Old soldiers very rarely des sert, desertions being generally confined to recruits, With all the com- forts, recrcations and indulgencies in this garrison there have been nine desertions from this command this month, ull without just causc. All the valk about young men being disgusted by the bru- tality or the coarseness of the old soldiers is simply rot. As a rule, old soldiers give the new ones their first lessons in decency. The youngest men are proverbially the worst.” It is said that in spite ofColonel Miselner’s views and the fact that the army and navy are recruited from the same class of citizens, there are Y0 per cent more desertions trom the former than from the latter arm of the service. Desertion is the great curse of the army, and one of the most unpleasant fea« tures of the whole thing is that the for- eign-born recruits stick more closely to their duties than the native American, At least three-fifths of the army aro of foreign birth, but scarcely half of the deserters are. question has puzzled the war department of- ficials more than a little, but, so far, no remedy or, for that matter, no reason has been given why this state of affairs oxists, The president’s proclamation will remove the cloud which now hangs over thousands of young men, but whether that will act ag an incentive to more desertions is a question army officers are unable to answer, A SINGULAR FATALITY. It is discovered that 1n the mew revised army regulations, which tho war department, has "~ been distributing, the payment of troops monthly has been omitted, a reform which Paymaster-General Rochester worked hard to secure and which he finally had adopted by the war department. It is said at the war department that the omission was due to the hurried manner in which the work was prepared, and the general dispo« sition seems to be to throw all the blame on the government printing office. Butas ‘‘no copy’’ of this important reform in the army was ever sent to the government printer, it is singular, to say the least, how any blame can be attached to him. A sort of fatality has attended the issuing of these regulations, It took a board of ofticers at least three yeoxrs to got them in shape. They were approve by the war department and ordéréd to b& printed, and since then there has been noth! ing but a succession of blunders. Twi they were run through the press, only make the discovery thav somg important matter was left out and the matter had to ba corrected accordingly. CHANGES EXPECTED, Itis expected that there will be several important changes in the treasury departe ment during the remaining days of the cur~ rent month, and that the ~president will ap- nounce several important appontments fo this branch of the government service dur= ing the present week. One of the change expected is the appointment of a sugcessor of the present director of the mnt, apd the current opinion is that Director Kimball will be superseded by his present assistant, Captain Leach. The former director was Mr. Burchard, of Illinois, He held that under the law he conld not be disturbed until the expiration of his term, which he asserted is fixed at six years, but the Cleveland ady ministration vok a contrary view, and there is no reason why President Harrison should ot be equally prompt iu finding a republican to fill the place. The democratic bureau chiefs still in the treasury dephrtment are Third Auditor Williams, lewister Rosecrans, Director of the Mint Kimball, = Superintendent Thorne, of the coast survey; Commissioner of Naviga- gation Morton, Mr. Bonnett, chief of the revenue marine division; Major Kritz, chief of the mail division, and Mr. Switzer,chief of the bureau of statistics, 1t is said that all of theso gentlemen, with the possible excep- tion of Third Auditor Williams, will be re- lieved by republicans by or before the 1st of July, Mr. Williams may retain his ofice for @ longer term and may possibly not be di turbed at all because of his friendly relations with the sident. There are now vacant two very important positions under the inter- state department caused by the resignation of Commissioners Stockslager and U\uirly,of the land and Tndian offices, respectively, It is thought both theso places will be filled this week. lowa expects to get the former and it1s generally thought that the lattor will go to Rhode Island, Pexny S, Heard, A FEMALE HORSETHIEF.
