Hj Quarantine Restrictions Revoked.
H Office Boabd of Live Stock A o cxts ,
H Lincoln , Neb. , Juno 29. [ To His Ex-
H | cellency , John M. Thayer , Governor of
fl Nebraska. ] Dear Sir : The quarantine
fl regulations now in force in this sin to
B J prohibit the importation of all cattle
H ; from the state of Texas and Indian Ter-
| i ritory.
B 1 Tlio Union stock yards company of
B | South Omaha is making strong efforts
H j to establish and maintain a live stock
fl | market , with tlio same advantages that
B ' St. Louis , Chicago and Kansas City cn-
B joy , and believing that they are justly
fl entitled to the privilege of competing
B for a share of the Texas beef cattle
B trade , they ask for a modification of the
B quarantine against the introduction of
B southern beef cattle.
H We are of the opinion that the intro-
Hl I duction of * such cattle , destined
B for immediate slaughter , can be per-
B rnitted under proper rules and regu'u-
B tions without injur } ' to the live stock in-
fl terests of Nebraska , and having no de-
B sire to stand in the way of any legiti-
B mato commercial interest , we cannot see
B anj' good reason for longer maintaining
H quarantine against the importation of
B such cattle. Therefore , at a special
B meeting of the board of live stock
H agents , held yesterday , the following
B resolution was unanimonsly adopted :
H Besolyed , That the governor beand
B hereby is respectfully requested to issue
b a new proclamation permitting the im-
H portation of beef cattle from the state
H pt Texas and Indian Territory destined
B for immediate slaughter in this state ,
H nnder such rules and regulations as
B shall be prescribed l > 3 * the board of live
Hj stock agents. Very ltespectfully ,
fl fl James G. Birnev , Pres.
H George W. Bakxhaiit ,
H W. W. Abbey ,
H Live Stock Agents
H Now , therefore , in accordance with
H the foregoing communications and re-
H commendations , and Ivy virtue of the
H authority in me vested by law , I , John
H M. Thayer , governor of the state of Nc-
H broska , do hereby issue this , my proclu-
B mation , revoking all quarantine restric-
H tions against Cook count } ' . Ills , and
H amend my proclamation of January IS ,
H * 1SSS , so as to permit importation of beef
11 cattlo from the state of Texas and Indian
H' Territory destined for immediate slaugh-
fll ter in this state , under such rules and
B j regulations as shall be prescribed br the
Bi board of live stock agent agents. This
Hj proclamation shall take effect and be in
H ; force from and after July 1 next.

WHY HE FLED FROM ENGLAND.
FranJc Jlyrnc Denies Any Kitowletli/e of the
"Byrne" Letter" Charged Up to Him.
New York special : Frank Byrne'a
name having again been used in connec
tion with the O'Donnell-Timeslibel suii
l > 3' the London times in an editorial oi
Fridayand l > 3r Messrs. Parnell and Mc
Carthy in the house of commons , a re
porter interviewed Mr. Byrne to-day.
"Is it true , " asked the reporter , "that
Mr. Parnell , as charged b3r the Times ,
supplied you with funds to escape from
England last year for fear that yon
should have to stand trial for complicity
in tho Phoenix park assassinations ? "
"The statement is absolutely false , "
taid Mr. B3-rne. "The facts of the case
are that in the winter of 18821 was con
fined in bed for several weeks , and when
able to be out was ordered by my medi
cal attendant to go to the south of France
for 1113health. . Whilo there L heard for
the first time of the accusation made
against me , and immediately1came to
Paris to be near England and watch the
course of events more closoty. So far
from being in want of funtls , I was in
possession of a good share of money of
my own , and besides I had aconsidera-
be ! sum belonging to the National league
of Great Britain , and this , accompanied
by a balance sheet , I forwarded to the
treasurer of the organization in Lon
don. "
"Why did 3-011 not return to London
and stand your trial ? "
"Oh , I know enough of the fashion in
which trials of such a character are usu
ally conducted to believe that I could
not possibly escape conviction if once
brought witlnu the power of the English
government. "
"What do you know of the so called
'Byrne letter ? ' "
"Absolutely nothing. I do not even
know if the letter spoken of was sup
posed to have been written to me or by
me , the dispatch referring to it being so
va ue. "
"Did you ever receive a check for . 100
from Mr. McCarthy ? "
"T can't recollect now receiving such
a check , but it is not improbable. I
would like to know the date of the
check in question , and then I could veiy
probably si3' : under what circumstances
it was given me. It was certainly never
given me for an3 * personal purpose of
my own. "
"What about the testimonial to 3Tou
for which Mr. Parnell sa3Ts he sub
scribed ? "
"T know of no such testimonial. A
committee with the object of presenting
me with such a compliment was formed ,
but [ replied that I was not in need of
such a token of appreciation of nry ser
vices and ould refuse to accept it so
long as ihere were starving people in
Donegal to help , for whom the money-
could be more worthily used. This let
ter of mine was read in the house of
commons by McCarthy , M. P. , when I
was charged with complicity in the
Phoenix park tragedy , and I well recol
lect the words he used : "Is this the
sort of man you accused of murder ? "
"What is 3'our opinion of the suspi
cion said to be entertained by the Irish
members that it was Tynan , supposed
to be No. 1 , who supplied the informa
tion to the Times ? "
"I am glad 3-011 put that question. It
is a monstrous statement , and I cannot
believe that the Irish members harbor
such a suspicion. It is a horrible
charge to make asrainst a 113' man , and I
am satisfied that if Mr. Tynan was in
possession of an3' letters or documents
of the league he would be incapable of
putting them to such a use. But as a
matter of fsict it would be morally im
possible for Mr. Tynan to have any
such information. Wiry , ho was not
even a member of the league. It is a
foul charge , 1)3 * whomsoever originated.
I shall make it 1113business to get cop
ies of the Times covering the days of
the sham trial , that I may'get fuller in
formation concerning the C. Byrne let
ters and other matters , when I shall
probably have something more to say. "
General Duane's Successor.
Washington , D. C , July 6. The case j
of General Duane's successor is causing
considerable speculation among army
officers. The question of Colonel !
Parke's claims has brought forth a
Bomewhat4 similar case , which , Lis
friends claim , may be a sufficient precedent
on which to base his appointment. Ihis
ia the appointment of General Baird as
inspector general in 1885. His only rival
for the post ' 7as General Jones , who was
his senior in rank , but several years
younger. General Baird's record was
a good one , and to enable him to retiie
with tho rank of brigadier general he was
given the post. He will retire in a short
time and then General Jones will most
likely bo appointed , retiring o couple of
3'ears later. This case gives soma color of
resson to the theory that the president
mayappoint Col. Parke in consideration
of his seniority of service , thus enabling
Colonel Parko and Colonel Casey to bo
place ! on the retired list as Brig
adiers. At the same time the general im
pression is that Colonel Casey will be ap
pointed. Hu record as an engineer is an
excellent one , and it is thought that the
president will take tho list as it stands and
make him chief of engineers. Colonel 1
Parke has at present oue of the best posta 1
iu tho country as superintendent of the
military academy. ]

Chicago. July G. J. A. Baurleson , an
officer of tho Aurora , Illinois , division cf
the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers ,
this morninc un
was brought to Chicago ,
der arre3t , by a deputy United States mar
shal. He is charged with complicity in
the alleged dyamito plot againBt the Bur
lington railroad. Bauriesen in not tho
mysterious fourth man who eluded an of
ficer yesterday when the three ar
rests were made. In regard to tho
latest arrest , General Manager Stone ,
of tho Burlington , said this morn
ing : "Bauriesen is Chief Engineer of
division 32 of the Brotherhood at Aurora ,
which is ono of the principal lodges on our
ro.vI. For two years he has been a member
ot the general grievance committee , and is
nlso chaiiman of tho Aurora local gricvanco
committee. * Ho was arrested under tho
United States statutes which prohibit tho
"carriage of dynamite in passenger trains. "
Beyond this Mr. Stone was not disposed lo
t.dk , but it was evident the officials of tho
compati3r regarded the arrest as a most im
portant one.
WHAT THE ARRESTED JIAN SAYS.
BauTiesen was ] seen by an Associated
Press reporter this forenoon , and to him he
stated that ho knew nothing whatever of
the cliarges preferred against him , and that
the arrest was a total surprise. Of the men
arrested he said that he knew Bowles , from
the fact that he had been in his division of
thfc brotherhood. With the others he had
no acquaintance. When asked if he was
suspected of being watched , he said
not more than anybody ehe.
He had known that there were
dtle-tives around in Aurora dogging the
brotherhood men , but he had no reason to
Bupposo he was particularly singled out.
He also stated that Aurora was his birth
place , and that ho lived there over since he
was horn. He said he had been quietly at
home since tho strike began , except two
days that ho attended a committee meeting
in Chicago.
THE 3IYSTBH0US LETTEK.
When Marshal Marsh was questioned
concerning the captured letters , he said ex
cepting the missive thrown out of the car
window by Brodorick , the documents were
letters of introduction irom brotherhood
officials , stating that the bearers were on
brotherhood business. Concerning the let-
te • so hurriedly thrown away by Broderiek ,
neither the marshal or District
A' o ney Ewing wonltl eay a sylla
ble , and ilatly refused to allow
it to be seen. The marshal in reply to in
quiries said , that although the cbarees
against Bauriesen and others involved
now only a fine , the indictment could , if
criminal intent were shown , be greatly
a'terrd. In that case the punishment
woul i be 1 a.d labor as a federal convict in
the penitentiary.
Bauriesen is an open-faced , broad-
shouldered man , about 35 , with bronzed
and honest-looking features. He talks
Vdry frankly , and boro himself in a very-
manly way.
Bauriesen gave bail for § 5,000 this after
noon , and was released. The bail was
famished by J. A. Fiedler , a Chicago mer-
ch int. The three men arrested yesterday
b.e still in jail , being unable to give bail
for § 15,000. Attorneys Eonahoe and
D.vid have been retained to defend them
in connection with any attorneys that may
bo selected by the Brotherhood engineers.
In conversation with Chairman
Ho o to-day , the men denied
all knowledge of the dynamite , and did not
know who brought the fltuff into the car.
They said afier they were arreted General

Stone Slakes a Statement.
CniCAGO , • July 6. General Manager
Stone , of the Chicago , Burlington &Qnincy
road , has furnished the Associated Press
wi h a loug statement , giving a history of
the dynamite plot. He says about the mid

A number of attempts were mado to
carry out tho suggestions iu this circular ,
but in all cases the apulicants were refused
employment. Mr. Stone explained that
tho "aalsoda" referred to in Hope's circular
was to h6 put into the tanks of engines to
make the water foam .and to prevent steam ,
and to caus-e the burning of crown sheets in
firo boxes. The ctneiy was to be thrown
on different parts of the machinery to
cause the bearings to become hot and ruin
them.

A DISASTROUS WIND AND RAIN STORM.
A Devaslittinu Cyclone Sicrcpi Down Upon a
Xitmbrr of lotva Towns.
Mason City ( la. ) dispatch : A terribly
devastating cyclone swept down with
demoniac fury upon a number of the
towns along the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Paul road yesterday. Euthven wae
tho first place struck 113the cyclone , " nnd
it is imposbible to estimate the extent ol
damage done. The storm came up rap
idly , but gave no premonition that the
results of its advent would prove so de
vastating , or its onward march sc
freighted with dreadful consequences.
The extent of territory over which the
storm swept was about one hundred
) miles in length and nearly a mile in
' width. To the farming community
along this tract the blow is such a one
that they cannot soon recover from its
i effect. To many it has blotted out of
being the arduous toils of a lifetime ,
sweeping before it the accumulation of
j-cars of toil , rendering as naught tho
fruits of well directed industry.
Up to the present time , strange to re
late , not a single death to a human being
has been reported , but many horses and
cattle were either killed 113the lightning
or suffered death from the effects of tho
wind. At Ruthveu , in almost a moment
of time , the clouds assumed a funnel
shape and remained apparent - motion
less , as if suspended from the heavens.
The storm then burst in its fury , the
'clouds making four successive dips in
side the town limits , utterly demolishing
two mammoth hay barns , the power of
the elements even being sufficient to
overturn an iron ha3r press which was
standing on the ground and weighing
nearl3' 1,000 pounds. An agricultural
implement house belonging to Eoot &
Walker was wrecked ; Trafiy Bros. ' live-
r3r barn , the Iurkwood hotel , the M. E.
church and Tom Gift's dwelling were all
leveled to the ground. Man3T residences
were damaged , and barns and outbuild
ings are scattered over the prairies.
One horse was killed in the street by a
scantling driven completely through his
bod3 %
At Emmet tslmrg the winds blew ter
rific , but did not present the appearance
of a c3rclone. The Catholic church , tho
Burlington , Cedar Bapids & Northern
depot , and a number of residences were
destroyed.
At Cylinder another large ha3' barn
and a water tank were completely de
molished , and pieces of boards from
the buildings were stuck iu the ground
covering an area resembling .pins in a
.cushion. At Whitamorc some buildings
were blown down , a number unroofed ,
and lumber badly shaken up. The
farming countiy between Whitamoro
and Buthvcu looks desolate. The corn ,
which was promising , is shorn to tho
ground , and other grain is badly dam
aged.
The storm jumped over a section of
countiy east from Whitamorc , next vis
iting the southern part of this county.
At Mescrvy , Benkes' store building was
blown down and the large cattle barn
belonging to Jake Nissen was demol
ished. At Belmont the Burlington , Ce
dar Bapids & Northern depot aud a
number of business and residence build
ings were shattered. Boute Agent Elli
ott , who came up from the southern
part of the state to-day over the. Iowa
Central , states that the crops along the
road are damaged to the extent of § 100 , -
000. The storm , financial - , was one of
the worst that ever visited Iowa.
Waterloo special : A terrific wind and
rain storm through the Cedar valley
3'esterda3' did almost incalculable dam
age to growing grain. Barley , oats and
corn suffered most. About a thousand
excursionists were camping on the
banks of the Cedar , above and below
this place , and all were subjected to one
of the fiercest storms known in this sec
tion for ten ' . A - '
over 3'ears. 3-acht cany-
ing the Waterloo orchestra was cap
sized , and A. K. Fasslet , of St. Louis ,
who accompanied the party , was rescued
from the river with great diflicult3At
Cedar Falls the large canning factory-
was unroofed ; also the opera house and
numerous dwellings. Eighteen houses
and barns were partially or entirely de
molished between Cedar Falls , seven
miles distant , and Junction Cihone _
and one-half miles from Cedar Falls , j
No serious damage was done here , the '
tornado passing over at a great heightj
No loss of life was reported , but considj j
erable stock was killed b3lightning. .
Pension Bills Vetoed.
Washington , July 0. The president
has vetoed bills granting pensions to Nath
aniel D. Chase , Harriet Cooper and Wm.
M. Campbell , jr. , and the bill for the re
lief of Van Buren Brown. In vetoing the i
Cooper bill the president sn's : "Tho hns- j
band of this benificiary served as a major 1
in an Illinois iegimentfrom September.l G2
till April , 18o"5. The medical testimony
taken in connection with the case coureded
intemperate habits of the deceased and sat
isfied me that the rejection of the widow's
claim by the pension bureau on the ground
that the cause of death was ceitainly in
temperance was correct. "
In its Pythian Points of a recent date
tho Lincoln Journal says : Some time
ngo the supreme chancellor decided that
the laws of tho Nebraska grand lodge
were at variance with those of the su
premo lodge in seven points. Tlie grand
uhancellor not wishing to cause a rup
ture between tho Nebraska jurisdiction
ind the supreme lodge , ordered the
2hanges to be made to conform with the
mpreme laws , but at the same time took
in appeal to the supremo lodge. At its
late session the supreme lodge heard the
lppeal and sustained the supreme chan-
3elIor in two points and the grand chan- '
: ellor of Nebraska in the five othe/
jther points. '

HE ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION.
General llttrrlton I'lomiirs to He the Ile-
publleun tiUiiutaiU Hearer In the Coming
Contest.
The notification committeo represent
ing tho lato republican convention on
the 4th officially informed General Har
rison of his nomination. Tho commit
tee met in tho parlors of tho Doiiison
hotel at Indianapolis. lion. M. M. Estee ,
of California , was made chairman , and
A. H. Potter , of Now Jersey , vice chair
man. At 10:30 : the members of tho com
mittee , escorted by the loocal commit
tee , took carriages and were driven to
General Harrison's residence , where
they woro received 1 > 3' Bussell Harrison
and Captain M. G. McLane. The mem
bers of tho committeo wero escorted into
tho handsomely decorated parlor and
woro seated in a semi-circle. At 12
o'clock General and Mrs. Harrison , ac
companied by Mrs. J. N. Huston and
Mrs. John C. New , entered the parlor
and took a position facing the commit
teo. General Harrison locked pale and
careworn , his expression being one of
deep seriousness. Chairman Estee step
ped forward and said :
"General Harrison , wo are commis
sioned by the national republican con
vention to official - notify 3-011 of your
nomination us tho republican candidate
for president of tho United States. In
doing this we nuvy bo permitted to re
mind 3'ou that 3Tour selection met the
heart3 * approval of the whole conven
tion. It.left no embittered feeling for
lukewarm supporters , and its ncti.m
voiced the averago and best judgment
of the convention. Nor was 3'our nom
ination duo to accident or the result of
liost3r or inconsiderate deliberation. It
iudicated that 3'ou possessed in a most
eminent degree those peculiar qualities
which commended 3-011 to the people's
favor. In the hour of our country's
peril 3-011 cheerfully accepted an humble
position in the nrni3' , went whore your
country most needed 3-011 , and by long
and faithful service rose to higher com
mands and resumed graver responsibili
ties. Elected to tho United States sen
ate , your enlightened and conservative
1 statesmanship commanded tho respect
j and inspired the confidence of the Ainer-
can platform adopted ly tho American
people. The convention marks out with
clearness and precision tho creed of the
pnriy. "
After a moment's silence General Har
rison replied as follows :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlomen of the
Committee : 'l'h3 official notice which
7011 have brought of the nomination
conferred upon me excites emotions of
profound thought and of somewhat con
flicting character. That after full de
liberation and free consultation the rep
resentatives of the republican p.trty of
the United States should have concluded
that the great principles enunciated in
the platform adopted by the convention
could be in some measure safely con
fided to 1113cure is an honor of which I
am deepl3' sensible , and for which I am
very grateful. I do not assume or be
lieve that this choice implies that the
convention found in me any prominent
fitness or exceptional fidelity to the
principles of the government to which
we are mutually pledged. My satisfac
tion with the result would be altogether
spoiled if that result had been reached
by nn3' unwortlry methods or by the dis
paragement of more eminent men who
divided with me the suffrages of the con
vention. I accept the nomination with
so deep a sense of the dignity of the of
fice and the gravity of its duties and re
sponsibility as to altogether exclude aiy
feeling of exultation or pride. The
principles of the government and the
practices of the administration upon
which the issues are now fortunately so
clear ' made , are so important in their
relations to national and to individual
prosperity , that we may expect an un
usual popular interest in the campaign.
Belying WI10II3upon the considerate
judgment of our fellow citizens and gra
cious favors of God we will confidently
submit our cause to the arbitration of a
free ballot. (
"The day 3011 have chosen for this |

of the declaration of independence. It .
has lifted the shaft of patriotism on the j

Long hearty applause -
through the house as Gen. Harrison con- .

he cordially grasped the extended baud
of Chairman Estee , who then presented

Washington dispatch : Mr. Mills , jj
chairman of the wa3's and means com- I.
mittee , expressed the belief to-day that 1 '
a vote would be reached on tho tarifl j
bill within the next two weeks. Ho as- 1 i
sorts that an informal agreement has \ I
been reached ly the yaity leaders in J
the house by which as little discussion a
(
as possible will be indulged over those j |
portions of the bill 3et to be considered. j I
It is understood , therefore , that tho pol- ' /j
icy on both sides will be to do nothing f
tn dehiy unnecessarily the final vote on *
themeasure , thu republicans merely |
making formal protests from timo to
time against bitch items as they oppose /
This is tho agreement as stated by Mr. I j
1 Mills and other democratic members ;
' but Mr. Cannon , one of the leaders of V ,
the republican side , says to-night that j
he has not been informed of such an { .
agreement. He thinks , however , that : 1
. a vote will be reached on the bill in ten i
' dn3s or two weeks. t | l
1 "The 011I3policy of the republicans , " ! | |
said he , has not been one of obstrtio- jli
tion , as the democrats would have tho \i \ %
people believe. The republicans havo # if t
011I3insisted that a free discussion of l *
the bill shall be had , and nothing more. { '
They have not talked for the sako of ' I
talking. A member , unless he lta a , I
democrat , bound by tlie caucus to stifle i I
his convictions and keep his inouth shut , 1
is obliged to discuss matters interesting -t 1
his constituents. That is the way tho . 1
j t republicans feel , but they will do noth- | : I
ing to prolong the debate to an unneces- | ' 1
1 saiy length. I think congress will ad- ? ' I
journ about the middle or last of j ' I
1 August. " ; jjB
I According to the estimate of Mr. Mills , jl
fo-d i3' , congress will adjourn the last ' / I
j week in August. That will see the tarifl / I
1 bill as far as it can get in the senate. m
I When that point is reached the demo- y I
crabs will not feel it incumbent upon
them to remain longer. They are m
obliged to sta3 * for the tariff , but sire not m
willing to remain for any other measure. B
After the tariff question has passed into ' 9
the senate , however , it is said many fl
members of the lower house will not feel fl
it incumbent them tomaiutninnquorum , fl
and will go home to enter the campaign. H
Democrats and republicans from all tho fl
close states and districts arc getting let- fl
ters urging them to get home as soon as , fl
possible , and stating that the active field fl
campaign should oceiqy at least sixty • , fl
days. These influences , it is believed , r - fl
will hurry an adjournment more than jfl
nirythiiig else. fl
