MixNgarorLs, Minn, June 15.—Spocial Telegram to Tue Bee.]—Minneapolis failed %o get & run this afternoon. Clarke was & puzzle, and Minnehan, Hanrahan, Miller and ‘West were the only men who solved him for safo hits during the entire game, and Reddy spolled the effect of his hit by going out in a desperate attempt to reach second. The last inning was the first one in which the home team got more than one hit. In that inning, with two men out, Joe Miller planted the ball in the middle garden for a sack, and West put it in the same place for a base. Foster came to the bat, and after getting three balls and two strikes, the whole audi- ence of 2,300 people who had defied the rain tothe end of the game, stood up and held each his individual breath. Clarke ovidently bent on out his man, _ but one was a foul tip, and then came another twisting over the plate. Foster met it, and the ball went spinning out over right center ok a line. It was a hit, a clean, pretty hit, and no fielder had any business with. 1t was goivg to the fence, but Cooney had no Dbetter sense than to run a long way beside the fence, jump up in the air, stick out his band and let the ball stick_there. That set- tled it, 80 far us runs for Minneapolis were concerned. In the first inning Cooney gota base on an error. Mitchell followed it up with a base on balls to Cleveland, Strauss’ sacrifice ad- vanced them a base each, and then Jantzen let a ball go through him, allowing Cooney to score, mlt? Crooks’ hit brought Cleveland across the rubber. In the second, Nagle, who was first to bat, got a single, and then Androews, the big first baseman, mauled the ball over the chicken netting for four bags. bringing in two earned runs.

Peorsons who were disappointed last week in the match between the Missos Stanley and Williams, will have a chance, w-day, of wit- nessing them competing in a twenty-five mile dash at the base ball park, at Lake Manawa, A very first-class permaneut board track, cight laps to the mile, has been laid down at con- eiderable cost, ard bicyclo clubs in this and neighboring states will doubtless take advantage of it for their meetings, Miss Williams has regained her health and is again riding in fine form, and the distanze should be one to suit her very speedy quali- ties, but Miss Staniey’s capabilitics are an unknown utity, and there’ are fow pe sons in Om: who would not be glad to ac- cept very slight odds about the result of the sweepstike race. Given a fine day, there will probably be crowds at the lake. This Evening's Race. This afternoon at 4:30 the one hundred- mile bicycle race between Ned Reading, of Fort Omaha, and Bob Neilson, of Boston, will start at the Coliscum. There is much feeling manifest among the respective fol- lowers of the two riders, and there is little doubt but what the race will bs one of ex- traordinary interest. The Soldier is in excel- lent condition, and_boldly declares that he will. run the legs off of the Bean Eater long before the hundred-mile post is in_ sight. The race is for 60 and 40 per cent of the gate receipts and $50 aside. Nat Brown’s String.

An Effort to Bring Them Under the Civil Service. PARTISAN SNEERERS SILENCED. Harrison's Generous Oontribution to the Flood Sufferers—Blaine Fills Beveral Positions fn the Consular Service. WasnmixeroNy Bureav, Tre OnAA Ber: 513 FouwrmeNti STher, WasiiNatox, D, €, Juno 15, The civil service committee aredetermined to bring the appointments under Census Commissioner Porter within the classified list, if they can possibly do so, and with this iden they, in a lotter, callod the attention of the president to the subject, to-day, and practically asked that the rules be so amended that the applications must all pass through their hauds, This programme will doubtless be resisted with vigor by mem- bors of congress, and it 18 gen- erally believed that Secretary Noble will also adviso the president against construing the law so as to cover the census bureau in the classified service. The appointmoents are by the very nature of things only temporary, and it is fizured that inasmuch as there are so many men expert in the business of the census who are anxious to get appointed, that it will inure tw the benefit of all concerned to keep this bureau outsiao of the pale of the civil service com- mission’s bailiwick, and the members of congress and otters interested, believe that these offorts will be successful. SNEERERS SILENCED, Fver since the Washington relief Com- mittee began to publish the list of contribu- tions for the flood sufferers in the Cone- maugh valley, numerous anti-administration papers throughout the country have sneer- ingly called atvention to the fact that the name of President Harrison did not appoar on the list, 1t was true, General Harrison's name was not among the list of Washington contributors, and the reason why was that he had telegraphed Governor Beaver to draw uvon him directly for his contributon. The president has stood ready to honor that draft at any time that it might be made since he sent his instructious to Pennsylvania’s chief magistrate. Up to the time that he left ‘Washington, this morning, for his trip down the river, he had not been callec upon to make good his promise, and in_order that the money might be made available av the earliest pos- sible moment, he directgd Private Secretary Halford to send a check for $300 to the tres- nrer of the relief comm twee. That check was received this afternco: and will help swell the fund which has been collected by the committee of which P.esident Harrison is thairman, to the grand total of $41,385, This in addition to about $11,000 contributed through other sources, brings the total of Washington’s answer to_the appeal of the suffers up to more than $:2,000. No farther altempts.will be made to increase this fund. A DATCIL OF APPOINTMENTS. More than a week ago Secrctary Blaine visited the white house and csrried from the state department a batch of appointments o positions in the consular service. This ac- tion on the part of the secratary of state leaked out, and there were at once anxious mquiries from all_quarters as to who were the fortunate individuals who had been se- lected for Uncle Sam’s foreign service. All attempts to secure information on the sub- ject were without avail, as neither Mr. Blaine nor any of the subordmates of the state department would give any informa- uion, even to their warmest congressional friends. Almost every newspaper corre- snondent hiere received urgent letters aud telegrams from friends who were desirous of entering the consular service, begging for news as to the writers’ chance for a place in the list, but every move for securing this news proved futile. To-day the list was announced. The appointments are all among the most important, and while there are not 80 many of them as it was thought there would be, they afforded general satisfaction to those who have to do with the consular service. 1t is understood that another batch of smaller consulates are listed to be filled, and that Mr. Blaine's' recommendations are in the hands of the president for his early cousideration. Mr. Blaine will leave Wash- ington for the summer, it is said, the latter part of next week, and for this reason the be- lief is quite general that to-day’s appoint- ments will be followed by a great many more in the next seven days. THE CHIPPEWA DISTURBANCE. The war department will take no official notice of the Cnippewa Indian outbreak. It is the intention of the department, as far as can be learned, to leave the matter entirely to Major-General Crook ana his aides, and the news received, to-day, leads to the belief that there is no danger of further disturbance. GILLICK'S APPEAL. A The appeal of S. S. Gillick from the de- cision of the general land office, holding for canceMation his homestead entry for the northwest quarter of section 3, township 1, north, range 85, west, McCdolk, Neb., was decided to-day. The cntry was made Scp- tember 9, 1884, and October 9, 1885, Ulysses M. Jones filed 1in the local oftice an affidavit of contest against the entry, charging failure to establish residence and abanaonment and change of residence, The claunant deposed that he established his res- idence upon _the tract October 3, 1585, upon which day he began to build & lumber house 12x10 feet, which was complete before he left, four days later. The sickness of s family and of himself, he swoars, prevented his establishing his resi- dence within six months after entry, It is found that Gillick is @ member of the firm of Barnaby & Gillick, merchant tailors ot Lin- Coln, and it appears that after his alleged settlement on the land Gillick returned to Lincoln and resumed his occupation as a talor. He bought mo furniture for the house, made no improvemente, and did not dissolve his partuership with Barnaby. The tact that his family never saw the land, but resided in Lincoln from the_inception of the entry to the date of the deposition is regarded as o circumstance that makes strongly against Gillick’s statement that he established residenco uBon tho tract on the oceasion of his visit, in October, 1885, Upon consideration of all the circumstances shown by the ovidence, Assistant Secretary Chand- ler has come to the conclusion that Gillick never establishoed a residence upon the tract with the intention of making it his home, and afiirmed the decision appealed from, THOMAS COLFER'S CASE. The n}msll of Thomas Colfer from the de- cision of the general land ofice, holding for cancellation his homestead entry of the southwest quaerter of section 31, township 4 south, range 26 west, MocCook, Neb., was decided to-day. M. A. Spalding filed afi- daviv of contest and abandonment; that he changed his resiaence from the land for more than six months since mukm? the cntry; non-settlement and that be has failed to establish his residence within six months after makiog entry or since that date. Colfer o married man s aitorneyablaw and resides at McCook. Early in 1885 he pur- chasoed the land in question, together with improvements ou it. He slept at night in a small house on the land and transacted his business in the city during the day. To facilitate his travel he purchased a horse which was *lariated out” at night and dur- ing the day was kept In o stable which he built for the p\lr]m uear his house in Mc- Cook. His fawily was never moved to the land entered because, he says, his wife was m delicate health, Assistant Secretary Chandler reviews the case ut great length and says the object of the homestead law can not be defeated by a seeming compli- ance with the letter while disregafding the spivit. The entryman, if he did not act in bad faith, he acted under a mistaken under- standing of the law, and his pretended resi- dence will not prevent the cancellation of the eutry. The decision appealed from aftirmed. NEW NEBRASKA POSTMASTERS. The following fourth class postmasters wero appointed to-day: Bee, Seward county, E. L.

Many Specimens Boing Added to the Menagerin for the National Zoo- logical Garden—Chesapeake and Ohio Canal : The New Swedish Minister. Wasmxoron, June 15.—[Special to Tne Bee.]—When Sir Jullen Pauncefote was ap- pomnted ministor from England to the United States, vice Lord Sackville, recalled vy re- quest, there was a great deal of newspapoer talk, and columns of description of the gen- tleman, his manners, fawnily connections, and all other details concerning him, which by | any possibility might be of interest to the general public. This was probably due to the fact that his predecessor had been some- what tragically removed from his position. A week 820 Mr. John Auston Wolft - Gripp presénted his credentials to the president as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten- tiary from the kingdom of Sweden and Nor- way to the United States. Four iines 1 the local papers and as much in the Associated press was deemed sufliciect space to give to this diplomatic chauge, yet there was as much of a suppressed sensation in the appointment of Mr. Gripp as there was in the appointment of Sir Ju- lien. Semehow or other very little attention is paid to the relations of the Scandinavian kingdom with the United States, excent in some few cities where the Scandinavian pop- ulation - predominates. Immigrants frbm Sweden and Norway to this country mako some of our best citizens. They ave, a rule, hard-working, industrious, honest and straight-forward people, who attend strictly to the idea of acquiring homes and caring for their families. They mingle little in politics, and although there wero threo natives of Sweden and Norway in the last congress, very little attention was paid to capturing the Scandinuvian vote by either political party in the late presidential contest. Yet the change in the diplomatic represen- tation of the Scandinavian peninsula was fully as sensational us that which brought about the removal of Lord Sackville, and the succession of the big, six-foot Britisher who now presides over her majesty’s legation on Conuecticut avenue. Under the terms of the so-called Dingley shipping bill, which passed the house several years ugo, the government of Sweden con- cluded that they’ had the right to demand that the tonnage tax on all vessels coming from ports within the kingdom to ports of the republic of the United States should be reduced from 6 to 3 cents per tou. Thas able zentlemen who presides over the navigation bureau of the treasury department, and who can tell the diffe ce between a marline svike and awopsail by the aid of- a micro- scope, did not agree with the views taken by the Swedish goverament, and refused to permit tne Swedish vessels to enjoy the benefits of the Dingley shipping act. He held that the lower rate of tonnage applied solaly to vessels coming from adjacent ports of Central and South Amer and that, in spite of all treaties which might contain con- trary clauses, Swadish vessel owners had no right to demand the concession. BUnder ordinary circumstances this might bave been a correct construction of the act of congress, but unfortunately for the posi tion assumed by the commussianer of nay: gotion, there was a similar case decided in the Twenties, when the United States de- manded under the treaty of 1827 certain con- cessions from Norway, which were granted to vessels coming from ISuropean ports. The Swedish government then took the position later waintammed by Morton, the United States commissioner of navigation, that the geographical zone applied, and that United States vessels were not entitled to the lower rate of duty. Henry Clay, however, who was then secretary of state, de- clined to accept the oonstruction of the Norwegian law by the Swedish govern- ment, and insisted thav under Article VIII of the treaty of 1827, the United States was entitlod to the lower rate duty. In respouse 10 the logical letter of the secretary of state the king of Sweden grauted the demands of this counury, and the necessary legislation to carry out his instructions was enucted by the Noriwegian parliament. In supporting its demand for a 3 cent ton- nage duty upon vessels hailing from its ports, the Swedish government instructed its min- ister to call the atfention of the state depart- ment, then presided over by that prince of diplomats, Thomas F'. Bayard, to the letter of 1528, written by Henry Clay., The Swed- ish minister at that time was Baron Reuter- skjold. This gentleman wrote to Mr. Bayard early n the year 1887, aud called his atten- tion to the letter of Mr. Clay. Mr. Bay- ard replied that he had no record of that letter, and it could not be found in the archives of the depart- ment. The minister immediately cabled to Stockholm for a copy of the document from the Swedish archives, and as soon as it was recoived sent it to Mr. Bayard. This was in March, 1887, Ordinary diplomatic courtesy would have demunded that the letter of the Swedish minister should have had a reply as s00n as the matters to which it called atten- tion could be looked up in the department, but Mr. Bayard ignored it entirely, and up to the close of his administration of the state department no reply had boen sent to the representative of the Swedish government. After waiting nearly six months that gov- ernment became disgusted at the fHagrant violations of etiquetie on the part of the American foreign secrotary, and Baron Reuterskjold was recalled. It was given out that he had taken alsave of absence, but this deceived no one who knew the facts in the case, and when it was subsequently anvounced that he had been sent as minister 0 one of the European courts, Constantino- ple, I think, the truth dawaed upon the ofi- cials of the state department. Yet no reply was sent, and the Swedish mission to the United States remained vacant until Juno 1, when Mr. Gripp prescnted his credentials. This is a little piece of diplomatic history which would have attracted wore attention if vthe Scandinavian vote in this country was as important a factor in politics as either the Irish or the German vote has proved to be. As it is, when a brief reference was made in this correspondence more than a ycar ago to the exact situation, it stirred up the Scandi- navians, in the northwest particularly, and thousands of letters have been received hers inquiring as to the correct status of the caso. In the meantime, it is generally believed, the brutal action of the secretary of stale in igooring the courteous and diplomatic letter of the Swedish minister had a great deal to do with the large increase i the repnblican vote among the Scandinavians in Nobraska, Iowa and Minnesota. NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN. The secretary of the interior aud the other gentlemen who were authorized by congress 1o form themselves into a commission for selecting a site for the proposea Nutional zoological garden, to be estaplished in tue District of Columbia, have not yet made their final selection, but the garden, or av least the inhabitaats of the garden, are, con- stantly mutiplying, and scarcaly u weols passes that donations are not made to the spocimens of American animals gathered in the sheds and dens at the reur of the Smith- soniap institute. Already there are quite & smatl menagerie, and the crowds who visit the museum never fail to take in this, to Washingtonians novel sight. The project for the estubiishment of a ua- tional zoological collection seems (o mect with very general approval throughout the entire country, and Prof. Horniday, who has direct charge of the collection, is highly gratified with the donations which are prom- ised from tiwe w time. Thero can be na donbt that with a suituble place properly lud out and prepared for the reception of wild auimals, there will be hefore many years & national menagerie which will rival that of noy similar collection in the world. Up to the present time none but American unlinals have been received, and it is probable that for some years o come at least, the colles- tion will"be confined to the products of the western hemisphere. THAT POLITIOAL OANAL, Thiere 1s the utmost anxiety in the westarn end of this city, known as Georgetown, as waoll us in the adjacent country in Maryland, over the future of (ke Cheasapeake & Ohio canal. This ancient waterway, which has been an elephant on the hands of the stock holders us well as of the state of Maryiand, lus really passed its usefulness as u water route, but it is absolutely necossary L maiu- tain the so-called Georgetown level in order that suficient water power may be supolied to the mills of West Washington, and it is for this reason that every effort will bo made on the part of the busifess men of ancient Georgetown to at loast restore the castern level of the canal to its former condition. ‘While the Cheasapeake & Ohio canal is Rrwu.nlu of littie value as a waterway, it as proved a powerful factot in Maryland politics, and it is by the manipulation of its pay roll that Senator Gorman, the prince of polmdmm\‘hu ‘been able in part at least to maintain his hold upon the democracy of the state. The Cheausapeake and Ohio canal has been a greater political machine n the past than any waterway in the United Statea The state of Maryland is largely intorestod i its welfare, and it js practically governed by the Maryland logislature, which has been almost continually democratic sinco_tte or- wanization of the state. While Gorman’s porsonal ends would be better served.. ver- nps, by the sale of the canal to some rail- road corporation for a good round sum, his political interests domand that it should bo maiotained as a watorway for somo time to come, and for this reason itds probable that the Cheasapeake and Ohio canal will bo re stored and the lonely mule will again si- lently treat its tow-path. The hoalth officers of the District of Col. umbia are also in favor of an ocarly ros tion of tho broken banks, They find that the heavy deposits of shme and mud, do- composed animal matter and sewerage nlmlfi the bed are extremely injutions to the healt of the residents of the city lying along its borders, and that the heat during the next two months is likely to produce an epidemic unless active measfires are at once taken to prevent an outbreak of disease. It will re- quire about 300,000 to restore the canal, and & groat many months of time, NOTHING CRIMINAL. The Minnesota lnsane Asylum Super- intendent Exonerated.

Younger was drowned while attempting to cross Bear river at Almy, Wyoming. Williams was the only witness to the accident and told so many couflicting stories of the event that he was arrested on suspicion of having shot Younger and thrown his body into the river. Younger's body was found on Wednesday, and its condition proved that the oharges against Williams were groundless.

THE CAUSE OF ITS COMPLAINT It Charges the Milwaukee With & Notorious Disregard of Each and Every One of the Rate Provisions, The Combine Broken, Cit1oaco, June 15.~[Special Telegram to Trr Bre.]—The die is cast. The Alton road, aftor trying in vain to stay in the Inter- State Commorce Railway association and preserve its trafe,gives notice of withdrawal in the following language: ¥ June 15, 1830, —To Aldace F. Walker, efll.. chairman of the Inter-State Commerce Rail- way association, Chicago, Ill,—Dear Sir: You are hereby notified that the Chicago . & Alton Railroad company will withdraw from the Inter-State Commerce Railway associ- tion on the 15th day of July next. It has be- come necessary for that company to with- draw from that association for the reason that it has been found impossible to induce all of the corporations who are parties to the agrecment upon which the association is based to comply with its provisions, Itis but fair to su{ that nearly all of them have mani= fested a disposition to comply with the obli gations they have assumed, and to do all that could reasonably be expected of them to make the experimental association sucoess- ful. Unfortunately, thero 1s one mermber of the association, the Chicago, Milwaukeo & St. Paul company, whose peculiar methods present a noted, and, wo may say, a notorious exception. 1t is unnecessary to stato in de- tail what that company has done, but your attention is called to the following statement relative to the transportation of livo sto The transportation of live stock from Kan« sas City, eastward, is participated in by six competing lines. During the last half of the year 1888 (as has recently been admitted by its officers) the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul company resorted to cut rates, manipue lation of the division uf through rates, an various other methods for reducing tariff rates i order to obtan stock trafic. Notwithstanding in that way, it secured a much smaller proportion of that trafiic than aid the Chicago & Alton railroad at its pub- lished rates, which were strictly adhered to. Since the beginning of the present year, 1t has been a member of the inter-state com- merce railway association, and party to an agreement under the terms of which it and its competitors are, under mutual covonauts, entered into by their presidents to adhere strictly to their advertisod rates, It is be- lieved that the competitors of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul compuny became @ member of that association about March 1, since which dato the Chicuzo, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway has secured more of tha competitor livo stock trafic than any two of the other lines. By what method has this great change in the relative trafic of the six competing lines been made!? It can not be by reason of su-~ perior facilities by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. Its linois longer than any of the others with which it compate and, in _ short, it is mot in its power to offer superior facilities. There can be but one answer to the question: Secret inducements have made iv for the intercst of shippers to patronize its line. The Chicago & Altorr company has been deprived of more traffic than any other by the peculiar methods referred to. It has en- deavored to secure fair treatment in every honorable way. It has appealed to the asso- ciation under the provisions of the agree- ment, and the facts upon which its appeal was based were so notorious that the execute ive board promptly issued an order directing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul company to pursue a different course and deal justly with the Chicago & Alton railroad company. But its order has manifestly been wholly disregarded, and the association has no poswor to enforee it. The Chicago & Alton company has for several months submitted to this unjust and unlawful extortion, hoping that it would coase, and that this last eflort to secure proper relations bevween the several partios in_the association would not prove a coms plete failure. In the light of experience, ex~ tending over several months, we have now no basis for such nopes. The agroement has tied the hands of those who complied with its provisions, and has enabled others to obtain unfair advantages over them. The Chicago & Alton company will no longer quietly submit to such unjust and uniawful competition. 'Phe notorious disregard by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul company of that part of the agreement which relates to rates has released the Chicago & Alton com- pany from all obligations under it, as an agreement which is not complied with by all the parties to it cannot fairly bind any of them. After this date the Chicago & Alton railroad company will, without further notice to the associa- tion, adopt such means as it may find noces- sary and lawful to secure its fair share of the live stock, lumber and grain trafiic with re- gard to which it has already appealed to the executive board without obtaining relief.
