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.

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. "

An Important Move Or Episcopalians
In New York.
NKW YOIIK , Juno 2. [ Special Telegram
to the IIK. ! : | Tuo building of a great Protes
tant Episcopal cathedral In New \orkClty
has long been a favorite project with the
church authorities hero and the many liberal
and charitable members of that prosperous
and flourishing denomination , The scheme
has been pushed quietly for the last three or
four months and the trustees have made pro
gress enough , as they think , with subscrip
tions and promises of support to put the plan
now before the public. 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
bishop's address was Issued rather unex
pectedly late last nleht , and so secret has the
plan been kept that It will como as n surprise
to most of the chutchmcn oven In this die
cese. 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. It carried out on the
scale promised the Cathedinl of St. John the
Divine will be nbout tour times ns largo ns
bt. Patrick's. The choir will bo built lirst ,
pcihnps. It nlone will cover ns much ground
ns old Trinity. The whole building , Itlscs-
iinaied , will cost 50,000,000. Several hun-
lieit thousand dollars have already bean
nised by subset iption. The glveis are not
ill ot the Protestant Episcopal church. 1) .

ther subscriptions aie looked forward to
oulicleutly from Methodists , Congregational-
sts , Baptists , Unitarians , and men of all

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

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

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

THE RUBBHU INDUSTRY.
A Huge Combination to Roost the
Itusincss.
NEW YOIIK , Juno 2. [ Special Telegram to
the Br.r.J Ono of the greatest commercial
combinations of recent years wns ellccted In
this city yesterday. It Involves the control
of the entire rubber Industry In America , nn
Industry which has already assumed Immense -
monso proportions and which will undoubt
edly Increase at an accelerated rate now that
the scheme of consolidation has become nn
established fact. The scheme does away
with the business of about 200 Importers and
masses the buying power in the hands of ono
brokerage house alone , allowing the other
twelve brokers to go fishing. Besides this It
fixes the pi Ice of crude rubber and consequently
quently the returns to the rubber cutter for
his labors nnd the revenue to the owner of
the land ? . It nlso compels the jobber In rub
ber goods to pny the trust what Its malingers
consider a fair return for the capital nnd
brains employed , but does not oust the job
ber altogether fioin the trade. It
leaves him to piey upon the retailer , who In
turn will compel the consumer to stand
and deliver or get his feet wet. Lastly It
regulates the pay of over 25,000 wage earners
to suit the Ideas of the trust nnd leaves the
larger time to ponder on that classic maxim ,
"What nro wo going to do about it' " ' The
trust , according to the plan proposed , wns to
bo formed by tlio absolute surrender of every
mill In the countiy. The central company
then be managed by three tiustees with un-
unllmltcd powers. As the meeting in thlscity
representatives ot riibbcrmanutnctoiles from
all parts of the country were present. After
talklne all day the trust was formed with a
working capital of 83,500,000. Messrs Ban-
nlgan , Alden and Meyer were chosen as ex
ecutive directors with unlimited power nnd a
salary of 340,000 a year. It Is understood.
Some idea ol the magnitude of this prbject Is
I mulshed by statistics showing the growth
ot the lubber Industry In America. Tlio Im
ports of ciudo rubber hnsrisen from 11,000,000
pounds a tow years ago to 27,000,000 pounds
in IbNJ. The industry to-day icpresentsan
Investment of about S'iO,000.KK ) nnd an an-
nii i trade ot over $10,000uoO. ( ) Upwards ot
25,000 workmen are nlso employed.

nwnlted him. The auditorium vvas packed
to Its utmost capacity. Mayor Hewitt , cx
Mayor Grace and other prominent cltueiiS
occupied seats on the stage , which vvas deco
rated with Intertwined English nnd Irish
Hags. As soon as O'llticn appeared a storm
of applause arose and lasted for suvcial mlu
tttcs. On being Introduced by tlio chairman ,
O'Brien spoke feelingly ot thu extra '
ordinary extent of American sym
patliy which had been stirred up by
events In Canada. Lansdownc , he satdi
has been a more successful npostld
for Ireland nnd the Irish cause than they
could ever be. They could only toll thn tale
of tils deeds In Iieland , but these deeds anil
Lansdow lie's mob had told the tale all the
world over. The horrible moments spent la
Canada , the speaker said , lie lightly in bli
memory when ho remembers those Incidents
have Illusttatcd the true character ot Lans
downism and the terrible evictions whlcH
nro now belnir perpetrated lu Ireland. Lans-
downn hns said everything ho can through
the press , and O'Brien believes the most
bitter partisan dare not stand up and say
Lansdowne has hlmselt denied n slngfa
charge.
Referring to John Brlght's letter road In
Birmingham , O'Brien said : " 1 lonrct tliathU
lite is ending In bitter winter rather than In
thu glorious sunset In which Mr. Gladstone's
Is ending. Bright disapproves of my uils
slon In the same breath in which ho calls
Gladstone n traitor. ( Cries of shame. ) 1 am
not sorry to bo In such compnny. " ( Loud ap

satisfied with being damned as a landlord
lias added to Ins guilt that of nn instigator 01
crime and outrage. Ho inspired those vvhc
carried out his outiages , and they
were the men who joked them
selves Ilka jackasses to his carriages.
He know tha outrage vvas to bo perpetrated !

to think we shall not hear for some time any
more trom tlio London Times about Par-

would have trampled them to death had ID
not been for this powerful shield of protec
