Surrender of the Itatn.
WASHINGTON' , June 5. The navj
department received information las
night of the peaceful surrender of tin
Chilian insurgent steamer Itata a
Iquique. This information was con
tained in a dispatch from Acting Real
Admiral McCann , received by Secreta
ry Tracy several hours after the regu
lar time of closing the department
The dispatch came in cipher and i
took about two hours to translate it ,
and even then there were several in
stances in which its contents had no
been fully interpreted. Jn effect th <
dispatch stated that the Itata had ar
rived at Iquique last night and wa ;
placed at the disposal of Admiral Me-
Cann this morning. She had on board ,
the dispatch says , 5,000 rilles and anr
munition taken from the Robert anc
Minnie in the port of San Diego , Cal.
She had no other munitions of wai
than those belonging to the ship ant
had transferred nothing to the Esmer-
elda , with whom she communicated of.
Acapulco. After communicating witl ;
this insurgent cruiser she went direcl
to Tocopiiia.
Admiral McCann says also that the
cruiser Charleston arrived at Iquique
today and thePennsacola was cxpecteo
before nightfall. The Itata will now
be sent back to San Diego , probably
under cover of one of the cruisers oi
the admiral's squadron , as soon as she
can coal and prepare for the return
trip. She will be delivered to the
United States officers at San Diego and
the proceedings against her for the
violation of the neutrality laws will be
resumed at the point where they were
interrupted by the departure of the
steamship , and the responsible parties
will , if they appear , also be called on
to answer the additional charge of con
tempt of court in running away while
under injunction.
Secretary Tracy gave to an Asso
ciated press reporter tonight the chain
of circumstances that has led to the
peaceful surrender to the United States
of the ship. He said that the desire
for a surrender came from the leaders
of the insurgent party at Iquique and
were made through Admiral McCann.
The offer was communicated to the
office at Washington and were in due
'
time accepted by this government ,
without , however , implying any re
cognition on the part of the insurgents
as beiigerents. The proposition was
put in the hands of the Charleston ,
which was at Acapulco replenishing
her coal supply. As soon as the olTer
was accepted a telegram authorizing
him to cease the chase was sent to
Captain Remy of Charleston , but the
steamer had already sailed when the
telegram reached Acapulco , and the
captain , unaware of the turn affairs
had taken , proceeded on his search
for the escaped vessel. The fact of
the acceptance of the offers to surrender
the Itata on her arrival in Chilian
waters was therefore communicated to
Admiral McCann , who was therefore
prepared to receive the Itata on her
arrival. Secretary Tracy said that
the Itata would be sent up the coast to
San Diego to answer the charges
against her in court.
The Treasury S
WASHINGTON , June 5. The net sur
plus in the treasury today is $5,000-
000 , a smaller surplus than has been
in the treasury within the memory of
the oldest officials. To increase this
surplus Secretary Foster has called in
$3,000,000 of deposits from the na
tional banks. The call reads :
"The secretary of the treasury has
this day called upon a number of na
tional banks depositories to transfer to
the sub-treasury a portion of the
amount of public moneys held by them
and not needed for the transaction of
public business. These banks , which
are mostly known as 'surplus' banks ,
iad been notified by the late Secretary
Windom and had previously transfer
red the amount of two calls made by
lim. The amount to be transferred
on or before June 30 , 1891. under this
call , is about $3,000.000. It is proba-
ole that other calls will be made from
time to time on these and other na-
, ional depositories until their holdings
shall have been reduced to about the
amount needed to be kept therewith
for the proper transaction of current
jublic business.5 '
ley Draws the Line.
CHICAGO , June 5. Chairman Midg-
ley of the western freght association
has issued a notice calculated to put a
stop to the manipulation of rates on
packing house products from western
points to the seaboard. He says the
western roads have been vulnerable in
one point the maintenance of the en
gagement whereby the Indiana , Illi
nois and Iowa lines have allowed a
per centage of the revenue accruing
east of the Missouri river to the Chicago
cage rate point. This was contrary to
the principle stoutly asserted on all
other traffic interchange with the east
ern roads. As the eastern lines show
little disposition to co-operate in cor
recting the matter , Midgiey has de
cided that the western roads must cor
rect the error themselves. lie gives
notice to the interested lines that this
must be done.
Cardinal Aiimonda , archbishop of
Turin , is dead. He was born in 1818 ,

Sir John .TlacUonmld'Dead.
OTTAWA , OnL , June 8. Sir John
Macdonald is no more. This dis.
tinguished statesman who has guided
the political destinies of Canada foi
nearly half a century passed away
Saturday night surrounded by the en
tire household. . - . / wC ? * -
Lady Macdonald , who bore up so
bravely during the fatal illness , is now
prostrated with grief. All the church
bolls are tolling and thousands of citi
zens are expressing deep regret at the
premier's death.
For hours members of the household
had been watching at the bedside wait
ing to see life depart. Although the
physicians declared last night that Sir
could not survive until the morning
they had not made allowance for his
marvelous vitality. He had lost con
sciousness three hours before and had
taken no nourishment since , save small
quantities of champaign , which was
administered with difficulty. The
premier , sick unto death , kept up the
unequal struggle until after 10 o'clock.
For days it is assumed he resisted the
inevitable by the sheer force of his
powerful will , but yesterday conscious
ness left him never to return. In the
ensuing period nature , now no longer
restrained , asserted herself , life's fire ,
already burning low , fiickered and
smouldered as though the soul would
leave its earthly tabernacle at each
successive breath.
At 10 o'clock this morning hundreds
who called to make inquiries realized
that all hopes had now vanished for
ever. The news from the sick room
was more discouraging than ever. A
stange and leaden color overspread his
countenance and his extremities as
sumed an icy coldness. No one would
recognize in the dying man one vestige
of resemblance to the great political
leader.
At 10:15 the premier gave a few long
and heavy inspirations and without a
struggle or the slightest evidence o
pain passed away.

KEOKUK , la. , June S. The most
intense interest is taken by Keokuk
society in the approaching nuptials of
Miss Georgia Kilbourne and General
John M. Schofield , commander-in _
chief of the United States army , which
takes place June 18. Mrs. George
Clark and daughter have returned
from Chicago , and to a reporter Mrs.
Kilbourne stated that much of the
newspaper talks concerning the ap-
proacning marriage were exaggera
tions. It is not intended that a great
amount of display shall be indulged
in. On the other hand , everything
will be of the most unostensible char
acter. The recent bereavements in
the family are the reasons for this ,
and it is , moreover , the desire of tne
general. The ceremony will be per
formed according to the beautiful Epis
copal ritual at St. John's Episcopal
church at high noon. The officiating
minister will be Rev. II. C. Mcllwaine ,
the rector. As far as consistent
with the general's rank it will be
a quiet church wedding. No wedding
invitations will be used save verbal
ones , but on the day of the ceremony
announcement cards will be sent out.
General Schofield and members of his
st : > il will appear in uniform and the
bride will be unattended by brides
maids. Immediately following the cer
emony the guests will partake of a
ivedding breakfast. A special car will
convey General Schofield and party
from Chicago. It is expected that
only his brother , Captain Schofield ,
and Lieutenants Bliss and Andrews of
liis staff , together with a few relatives
find one or two most intimate friends ,
will accompany him. Of the bride's
relatives who expect to be present , are
Mrs. Hiram Barney and General Bar
ney of New York , and her brother
IVells of Cleveland , O. The wedding
Lour will be lo the west and south.
Chilians Excited Over the Programme
iSesardiiiK the Itata.
IQI-IQUI : , ( via Galvaston ) , JuneS
1'here is great excitement here over
.he decision of the American admiral
, e take the Itata without the discharge
) f her arms and ammunition. The
iress is very bitter and consider that
lie United States the recognized cra-
ile of repulican ideas commits a grave
: rror in thus indirectly assisting the
iictator.
El Nationale in an editorial says :
: < We know we have the sympathyof
he people of America , also of the people
ple of all other civilized nations , but
.he fact of the United States against a
veaker power in arms for liberties and
ights is not in harmony with the tra-
litions of that government. ' ' The ar-
icis concludes : "Let the Americans
ake our ships and our arms , but let
hem reflect that they have nailed in
.he . hearts of 3.000,000 men sentiments
) f having been deceived in their hopes
) f having lost faith in the nobleness of
nind and the liberty of sentiment of
he goverment at Washington. "

> orts indicate that they are in fine con-
iition. The growth is slow , due to
'ool ' , cloudy weather following the

nent in grass in general and good pas-
urage is assured. Light hailstorms

Bowman , chairman of the temporary
central committee. J. E. Anuersoi
of Winnebajro was chosen temporary
chairman. Mr. Anderson stepped for
wara and addressed the convention a
some length. He said :
"We are the delegates of the pee
pie and have met here today to la }
the foundation of a political party tha

trol of the money power gamblers ,
speculators , rings and combines ant

vention proceeded to appoint the usual
committees.
A recess was taken till 2 p. m. tc

work.
When the convention reassembled
the delegates indulged in some vocal
music. The songs America * ' and
Goodbye Old Tarty , Goodbye , " were
sung , alter which lion. J. F. Willetts
of Kansas , national lecturer of the
southern alliance and ex-candidate for
governor , was introduced. He said he
came to this convention to jret his
spiritual strength renewed , lie lold
how he had carried the banner in the
Kansas campaign , and "kept in the
middle of the road" and how he was
finally crucified between two thieves.
[ Great applause. ]
The committee on credentials re
ported that 4'JT delegates of the possi
ble 1,000 were present. The temporary
organization was made permanent and
an order of business was adopted.
Chairman Kobb of the committee on
resolutions , announced that the com
mittee had unanimously agreed on a
platform of principles. The platform
as approved and adopted with scarcely
a , dissenting vote , read as follows :
The people's party of the state of
Iowa in convention assembled , view
with alarm the continued encroach
ment of confederated monopolies and
trusts on the rights of the people and
ire firmly convinced of.the inability of
the old parties to meet the issues which
ire forced upon us. A vicious system
31" class legislation protests and mon-
ied oligarchy most dangerous to the
rights and liberties of the people , and
is fast undermining the foundations of
Dur civil government which must rest
.ipon the equality and intelligence
3f ail.
We hereby heartily ratify and con-
iirm the movement inaugurated at the
Cincinnati conference of May 10 , 1891.
ind the wise and patriotic platform of
principles there adopted. Concerning
juestions of local state concern we
ieclarc :
That we condemn the action of our
jxecutive council for the refusal to in-
: rease the railroad assessment to an
iverage equal to that of farm and
) ther property , and anirni that said
isscssmenta to be equitable and just
should at present be at least sSO.OOO. -
100 , and that the legislature should
irovide by stringent law for such
issessment.
That we demand the establishment
n our state of the Australian ballot
ystem.
We denounce the action of theTwen-
y-second and Twenty-third general
.ssembiies for defeating the Astralian
lallot bill ; for incorporating the con-
ract clause in the miner's screen bill ;
or the defeat of the 2-cenl fare bill ,
he uniform school book bill and the
ill for the taxation of mortgages , ail
f which measures we endorse and ati-
ocate. We sympathize with the miners
f Iowa in their struggle for the eight-
cm- day , and pledge them our sup-
ort for the repeal of the contract
lause in the screen bill and the aboli-
ion of the truck store system , and de-
land weekly pay for the miner. We
aver a uniform system of school DOCKS
ar the entire state , the books to be
urnished by the state at cost to the ,
upils. j
We censure the leaders of the re-
iublican and democratic parties for
he constant efforts to reopen the tem-
ier.ance question in this state to the
xclusion of the grave economic ques-
ions which now confront our people.
We favor a judicious service pension
aw and demand additional compensa-
ion equivalent to the disparity between
he currency paid to our union soldiers
nd that of gold at the lime of pay-
aent. In granting pensions there
hould be no discrimination on account
f rank.
The creation of private corporations
or pecuniary prorit we believe to be
ontrary to moral law and in violation
f.sound public policy , and we there-
ore demand that our next legislature
hall provide for the investigation of
ur present system of private corpora-
ions with a view to their ultimate
uppression as soon as it can be done
; ith safety to the business interests.
Dominations for state officers having
een reached. H. F. Cook of Adair
amed A. J. Westfail of Monona. late
aaependent candidate for congress ,
ar governor. Loud calls for Westfail
rought that gentleman to the stage
and1 the- delegates appearing wen
pleased with his looks , he was nomin
ated by acclamation.
Davis of Bloomfield nominated Wal
ter Scott of Appanoosc , president of
the state miners' union , for lieutenant
governor. Samuel Jordan , ex-jreen-
back member of the legislature , was
also named. John E. Ahler , a Coun
cil Blufi's blacksmith , made a stirring-
speech seconding Scott's nomination.
When the roll was called Appanoose
cast its solid vote for Jordan , but
every other county went for Scott.
When Dallas was reached lingers of
that delegation objected , claiming *
Scott was not a temperance man.
We don't want him to be.'Vhouted
Ahler , which provoked a roar from ,
the convention.
It looked bad for Scott for a mo
ment , but General Weaver came to the
rescue and vouched for his good habits - , J
its and character , and the vote went j
to him solid except his own county and
Dallas , which refused to vote. J
C. W. Bean of Huena Vista was I
named for superintendent of public
instruction. ,
J. M. Joseph of Union was tin : choice
of the convention for railroad i-.ommis- ,
sioncr. but ho peremptorily declined j
and D. F. Rogers of Dallas was nom- '
inated. f i ;

has recommended to the directory that
$50,000 be expended in reproducing1
the ancient convent of La lltblda at
Palos. Spain , as the building for the
exhibition of relics of Columbus. It
was at the door of this convent that
Columbus asked for food and shelter
for himself and his child. It was here
that he found an asylum for a few years-
while he developed his plans and prepared - |
pared the arguments which he submitted - ,
ted to the council at Salamanca. It 11
was in one of the rooms of this convent - '
vent that he met the Dominican monies 11
in debate , and it was here : us > that he
conferred with Alonzo Pinzo. who
afterwards commanded one of the ves
sels of his fleet. In this convent
Columbus lived while he was making
preparations for his voyage , and on
the morning that he sailed from Palo ?
he attended mass in the little chapel.
