Work Will Begin Immediately.
iiifc Ucsuon oi me ;eaiiou o;
dejot and right of way of the Itock
Island Iloute was ettld to-day, and as
predicted in THE SUX two weeks ago.
the selection had fallen upon the
Twentieth street route. The options
which the company had upon this pro
posed route have been closed and the
right of way has been purchased from
It to O street, on Twentieth. This is
as far as the line has been located, and
the Co. has two routes south under con
sideration. One route crosses O street
in a southeasterly direction ya?;dno
near the corner of the M street base
ball nark, then about one mile south
east to 2!th and Randolph streets, then
a
south about two miles to the Union
I'acilic tracks, and passes Sa4 til lo about
one mile to the norm, xnis is me
route that in all probability will be
selected. The other route would turn
southwest from O, pass south of the
Catholic Hospital, thence west of the
base ball park and on to the Union
Pacific tracks, and fr.m this point
takes the same direction as the other
route.
The selection of this route means the
location of a tine union depot at O and
Twentieth streets, and its occupancy
in the near future by several other rail
roads. The cost of the various routes
runs from HViAUK) to $."5,000, and the
one finally decided upon is one of the
most exjRjnsive ones contemplated.
Work on the new line will begin at
once, and within thirty days, the prep
aration for the extensive improvements
will be fully inaugurated and fairly un
der way.
The final selection of this route
makes A. D. Kitchen one of the hap-
niest men in the city, as he has persist
ently labored for this location through
thick and thin, and he surely nas a
right to rejoice over the settlement of
the question.

Good Bye.
The Nineteenth commencement of
the Lincoln high school occurred last
evening at the Lansing, with a class of
fifty-four graduates of good strength,
and an audience hat completely packed
that fine opera house. Tickets of ad
mission had been given - out by the su
perintendent and principal, but the ca
pacity of the house fell far short of the
demand for seats. At the time for the
beginning of the exercises the doors
were thrown open and those who had
no tickets were permitted to occupy
such seats as might be found vacant.
Many persons stood in the rear of the
room or sat upon the steps of the bal
conies.
On the stage sat the graduating
class, with Mrs. Raymond's chorus
class of young ladies in the rear. The
presence of Mrs. Raymond and her
trained musicians is always a guaran
tee of the musical part ot the p
o-
gramme and last night proved
ex
ception to the rule.
Following the first song George A.
Steiner stepped to th1 front of the
stage and delivered a brief address on
' National Acquisition." He has a good
voice and spoke with deliberation. At
the close of his address the applause
showed how well his effort was appre
ciated. '"Originality" was the theme of
Bertha Pinkerton, and was well
handled, as was also the topic, "Silent
Forces," by Grace E. Cook. Miss
Pinkerton made an earnest plea for the
development of individuality and inde
pendence, while Miss Cook spoke elo
quently of the silent forces in nature,
both in the world without and in the
mind within.
Jasper Hunt's subject was "The Duty
of the American Citizen," as applied to
matters of politics. He gave equal cen
sure to him who always votes a
"straight ticket," i-egardle-s of merits
and to him who holds aloof from poli
tics because of political corruption. Mr.
Hunt is one of those sturdy young men
that the farm contributes to our city
schools, and his steady earnest worK
gives promise of a good future.
Kffa M. Roger, showed peculiar forco of
speech and ease of manner, in pre
senting the oration on '"King or Presi

tending: the Opculng;.
Minneapolis, Minn., June 8. An
ugly threatening day and delegates in
thorough fighting mood, ill-natured al
most to the point of savagery were the
marked features of the opening of the
Republican national convention to
choose a candidate for the presidency
of the United States.
During all the morning outsiders
had been crowding into the hall. Ex
Speaker Reed was the first notable to
appear but soon withdrew. Then
came New York's "Big Four" in a
group and soon afterwards Governor
McKinley of Ohio, who received a
double ovation.
Following came another numerous
set that drew out cheering and much
scrutiny, the Illinois delegation.
Prominent among them was Abraham
Lincoln's counterfeit, Senator Cullom,
and whispers of "dark horse" were
heard here and there as the senator
took a seat well to the front with the
other Illinois delegates. The white
and gold banner of the California
delegation was brought right
into their old time place
to the right of the speaker's chair. A
moment later a storm of cheering
broke out in the back of the hall,
whither a large number of people were
now pressing. It certainly was the
greatest outbreak of enthusiasm thus

committees read the official oall tor the
convention, and five minutes were con
sumed in this and other monotoVtous
proceedings.
"Gentlemen of the convention,""
then said Mr. Clarkson, "I am instruct
ed by the national committee to nom
inate for your temporary chairman
the Hon. J. Sloat Fassett of New
York."
There was a momentous pause while
the body awaited the action that
might be taken by the Harrison wing
in opposition to Mr. Fassett's selec
tion. But the anticipated contest
did not take place. No one was placed
in nomination in opposition to Mr.
Fassett, and when the question was
submitted there was not an opposing
vote to Mr. Fassett's election.
"Your temporary chairman, gentle
men, was the introduction witr

Detroit, Mich., June 8. W. J. TI.
Traynor, supreme grand master of the
Loyal Orange Institution of the
United States, sent the following tele
gram to Minneapolis to-day:
Stewart Gamble, Grand Master L. O. L
103, Bridge Square, Minneapolis:
You are authorized to state for mo to
delegates of national convention that
Thomas W. Palmer of Michigan or any
other equally good American on either
ticket will receive 1,250, 00J votes, none ot
which will ever bo cast for Blaine.
W. H. J. Trtnob.
Traynor said: "The orangemen are
not prejudiced politically. They are
interested in politics only so far as to
prevent the usurpation of political
power by any religious denomination.
They know no party, but they will
not support Blaine for president.
The principal objection they have to
him is that he has shown partiality to
Catholics in making appointments.
He also attended high mass celebrated

was not opposed to our order in 1SS4,
but we will vote against him to a man
in case he is nominated. We are united
and will stand by our colors. 1 have
not overestimated our strength. In
stead of 1,20,000 million votes we
have over 2, 000, 6od voter in our ranks.
They are scattered all over the union

we will not pass it by. We pay great

SECOND KANSAS DEMOCRATS.
The Congressional Convention In Semton
Moore and Alien In the Lead.
Lawrence, Kan., June 8. The
Democratic convention of the Second
congressional district met this after
noon. J. B. Chapman of For
Scott vwas made temporary chair-
Mr. Fas&ett began speaking in a strong
clear voice as follows:
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Republicans)
For the distinguished honor which 0U
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN J. SLOAT FASSETT.
have conferred upon me I am very grateful.
1 approach the duties of piesidmjr officer
with extreme diffidence and am sustained
only by a reliance upon your generous for
bearance and co-operation.
Chairman Fassett's speech was re
ceived with enthusiasm from the
Blaine men and occasional manifesta
tions of approval from the Harrison
delegates. His allusion to reciprocity
aud the declaration that all Republic
ans agreed that the party was greater
thon any one man and that the loyal
desire of all was party success pro
voked demonstrations of approval.
The pomise that the preliminary ar
rangements of the convention would bo
in the right way and the right spirit
was well received, but the height of
enthusiasm was reached when he said
that when the convention was ended
a'l rivalry would be ended, and when
the nomination should be made there
would be but one choice, and he the
'nominee of this convention; but one
purpose, and that his election. "All
our candidates are strong men," said
hv "Some may be stronger than
others laughter, but our duty is to
select the strongest." Applause.
It was obvious that thn speaker wa

James (i. Blaine, and every individual
of the vast audience breath

following sentence; "Our party has

IMalue and Keetl Cheered,
The words "Harrison, and Blaine'
were mentioned so rapidly that the
friends of the former candidate were
taken by surprise and had no op
portunity to cheer for their candi
date. Hut the Blaine men made the
mst of the occasion, and for three
minute delegates waved their hata
aud handkerchiefs and cheered the
great leader.
Another scene came when Chairman
Fassett praised the work ot the Fifty

strong arm of Thomas B. Keetl. Al

turned and beckoned commandingly
to him that he finally a rone from his
seat. At the. first sight of lhs dis
tinguished son of Maine every delegate
and every auditor arose to do him
homage.and long after he had resumed
his seat the cheering continued.
Of course the speech of the Repub
lican leader of the national house of
representatives was well received. His
allusion to the sensitiveness of the
Democratic party, excited the hilarity
of the convention and uproarious
applause punctuated nearly every
sentence of his eloquent speech. His
closing sentence was, "To havo a
nobler future is to give to every citizen
of the United States the liberty of
thought and action." (Tremendous
applause). Wealth aud prosperity are
noble, but human liberty is magnifi
cent. (Renewed applause)
The other officers selected by the na
tional committee were then chosen.
The D.iy's tVork Soon Over.
It was ordered that, until the perma
nent organization should be effected,
the convention should bo governed by
the rules of the last preceding Repub
lican convention.
Ex-Senator W. J. Sewell cf New Jer
sey presented a resolution that the
roll of states and territories be called
and that the chairman of each delega
tion announce the names of the per
sons selected to serve on the com
mittees as follows: Permanent organ
ization, rules and order of business,
credentials and resolutions. This was
adopted and the roll call of states be
gan. The member of the Alabama delega
tion said that the contest in Alabama
had just been settled and he asked
that tiie state be passed until
the delegates could hold a con
ference. This was agreed to and then
each state as it was called announced
through its chairman the members it
had chosen for service on the com.
