Ilio Tonr to Ilo For Political Pur poses , Information and Pleasure A Grand Swing Around tbc Circle. Cleveland Coming Went. Pim.AUKM'iuA , Junes. A .special to the I Bulletin from Washmzton says : There is every reason to believe that the promise which the president recently made to the St. Louis delegates that he would , If he could , visit their city next fall , will bo kept , and that the visit to that city will only bo com- paiatlvely a small fcatuio ot a eroat and ex tensive trip which ho has been planning , and the arrangements for which will he consum mated on his return to the white house. The president has seen but little of the United States. Ho hus during hln lifetime traveled but llttlo outside of the Btate of New York. Ho has never been In the we t at all , but ho has made up his mind of late thai It will bo to Ills personal and political advantage to make nn elaborate journey this jear. His wife has persuaded him to do BO ns a matter of pleasure , and several democratic politicians , chief among whom Is I'ostmaster General Vllai , have uruedhlmtodo so as a matter of practical politics. They told him that the democrats of the west nnd northwest are anxious to RCO him and that his piesenco In some of the states may have an encouraging effect on the party organization. A cabinet officer remaikcd to htm before his departure to the Adirondncks that In a jear of peace and prosperity like this ho could make such a tour as Monroe mndo In 1818. nnd the remark had a pleasIng - Ing elfect on the president's mind It was In contemplation of such a trip as this that Cleveland made his promise to the St. Louis delegation. The fact Is lie Intends to go a great deal further in the direction ot the setting sun than .St. Louis. If the president can make his niiangements , lie will leave this city In the first week of August , and will probably remain away until the Hist ot Octo ber. lib will travel In a special car , contain ing the members of his Immediate household anil two or three cabinet ofliccrs. The Inten tion Is to go clear ncioss the continent to the I'aellic coast. The principal cities on the line of the route will belsltod In Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Mlssouii and .Minnesota , Post- mnstcr-ticnciat Vllas is particulaily anxious that hu should make n good Impres sion in those states In time tor the tall elections. The piesident is curious toexploro the territories along the line of the Noithein 1'aclhc railroad , and It Is now on his plan to go up as far ns Portland. Ore. It Is probable that In going and coming on this long two months' journey the president nnd his party will \lslt Philadelphia , Pittsbtirg , Chicago , St. 1'niil , Portland , San Francisco , Omahn , St. Louis. Louisville , Cincinnati , and other Important cities , in order that he nmycomo In contact with the people nnd especially with the woiklng politicians. I'ost master General Vilas , who is porhnps the most ardent and Industrious second termer In the administration , will , when the proper time comes , leave nothing undone ) to work up the journey lor all It is worth as a Bvring around political circles. Democratic politicians In the various states through which thn president's party will pass , will be Instructed to stir up popular on- thuslasm in order to bring about a good ef fect on the autumn elections. The president Is determined that this journey .shall be made entirely at his personal expense. TUB ANH\VRR. A Ilcply From Ijamar to Senator Van IVyck'H hotter. WAMHINOTON , June 2. [ Special Tele gram to the BIK.J : Renders of the BKK will remember that a short time ago Senator Van \Vyck wrote to the secretary of the Interior calling attention to the manner of making elections of land by the 1 ! . & M. railroad. lie asked the secretary to set tin the matter at once by such means as would relieve the sot- Uers In Nobrnska from the possible conflict with the corporation by cnlllng the company to account nt onco. In response Senator Van Wyck , just before leaving for Nebraska , receded the. following letter from the socre- tniy , which will explain itsolt : "In re sponse to your letter ot it-cunt date asking that the claims of K. L. llemenway and othois a'-'alnst the U. fc M. railroad in Ne braska bo speedily disposed of , 1 have to ndvlso yon Unit tlio matter of the linnl adjustment of tlio grant for said road Is now under consideration In this department. I see by n lettoi ot Sep tember 10 , IbbO , that the commissioner ot the cencral land olllce , after receiving certain facts pertaining to said grant , recommended that legal proceedings bo Instituted to re cover the lands patented to said company In excess of the quantity to which It was en titled ; that the company's selection of such tracts north of Its line of definite location ae have not been patented bo cancelled ; that Much tracts still wlthdtawn , but not selected , bo restored to settlement and entry. These recommendations will bo passed on with proper speed. It is now believed the cominc decision will furnish n rule whereby nil in dividual claims can be adjusted. " Nebraska nnd Iowa Pensions.

Bishop Potter Issued an address last night setting fonh the needs and purposes of the now cathedral. It will be broadly national nnd popular In character nnd services , and a most noble and striking ornament architecturally to the city.

The new building will be called the Cathedral ot St. John the Divine. The few details , except that it must be built In some conspicuous and fitting part of tlio city , have not been du- cldcd upon. Tlio structure will probably cover two ordinary blocks nnd will , of course , bo many > cars in building. The style will be gothlc , but no designs or plans have yet been drawn.

About 100 spectators were present , although the greatest efforts \\cto made to keep the place of mectlnciand | the departure of tlio excur- slun steamer with tlio men and their backers a profound secret. The battle was one of the best over witnessed , iltotii men fought coolly nnd carefully , it seemed after the terrible rally In the tenth round that Reagan could have won oatltor had ho gone In to force matters , but a careful adviser who stood In his corner would allow him to tnko no chances. Once Flies' second told him to rush the llghtlngtlilnkini : Reagan was daied , but the youiiirster could hit with the veteran every time. The men shook hands at the call of time for the first round at a little after midnight. Both held very high guards. Keagftii led three times bofoio Files responded at all , but he avoided each attempt of his opponent with rase. Files straight-countered once hard on the mouth of licaan , who beautifully ducked a wicked lelt-hamler a second later and then forced Files to the topes , banking at his body with both hands. The seventh round found both men btill cautious , but Files sent In his right and won the lirst knock-down. Reagan sprang up and rushed In , but Files had the best ot the exchange , foicing his man to the topes , amlhls filends : were jubilant wlmn the men went to their corners.

Files Mas lowed to the opes. Kcagan won his lirst knock-down in he thlrttourth round , pushing Files to the rope- , and knocking him cJear outside ttio ring. There was good work in each of the following rounds. Tracoy asked Power , Reagan's second , in the forty-second round , lor a little resin tor his man's feet. The re quest was readily crantcd. This round was a good one , but only play to the succeeding one. Kenyan had things his own way now. lie bangeii Files on ttiu jaw and sent him to the ropes as he pleased. The veteran , with n lump on his cheek as large as a potato and blood streaming frpoi his ears nnd mouth , responded gamely. > The Brooklyn boy was all too strong tor poor Files in the forty-third round. Tiaeev claimed loul so often that Reacan was given very little chance to do any fighting. The forty-fourth round lasted less than two minutes.

Undoubtedly the best game that has boon played on the homo grounds tills season took place yesteulav afternoon between the Letiv- cnworth and Omaha nines , resulting in a score of 0 to5 in Invor of tlic Conner. Unmo was called promptly at 3.X : ) o'clock , with the Omahas at the bat. The lirst Inning resulted in geese eggs tor botli sides. The securing of two runs each In the second Inning aroused the enthusiasm of the spectators. From that time on the playing was remark ably good by both teams , aim at the end of the sixth Inning , when the score stood C to 4 In favor of the Omahas , odds were wageied on the homo nine. In the eighth Inning , however , safe hits by the visitors netted two runs , and a whitewash for the home team In the ninth settled the game. Some of the playing on both sides would have done credit to any of the national league clubs , among which being a long running catch by Genius , ind the catch of a foul lly by Krehmeynr. Two remarkable left-handed stops were made bv two ot the visitors hi the eighth Inning Whltehead and Beckley and which were really tlio ones tnnt turned the tide. The base stealing of Bailer was the greatest fea ture of the contest , ho bringing In two runs which would not otherwise have boon made , only for his remtrkablo faculty of sliding several kct ami golnt : In under the baseman when ho had the hall in his hinds. He also made a tine running catch ot a high tlv In lett held. The umpiring of lingan was en tirely satisfactory , not a protest being hoard during tlio game. The attendance was be tween 700 and MO. There was much com plaint at the close at the miserable facilities jnovldcd bv the street car company for reach ing the city.
