THE ILt SIXTEENTHS YE AB. OMAHA. MONDAY MORNING , JUNE b.1 1887. NUMBER 353 EFFECTUALLY DISPOSED OF , Gladstone Does Away With the Tory Oant About Irish Obstruction , HIS GREAT SPEECH AT SWANSEA. Donovan Leaps From London Intotlio Thames In llonoroftha Queen' * iluullco Year Foreign News. Gladntonc'a Spcocli at Swansea. [ CnpvrluMW ( liU James Gonlnn Iltimett. ] LONDON , Juno 0 , 4a.m. [ New York Her ald Cubic Special to the HIE. | It was everywhere , In liberal clubs and homo rule circles , claimed that Mr. Gladstone , In his trrcat speech at the Svvvatisea monster meetIng - Ing , attended by fully 100,000 people , has effectually disposed of the tory cant about Irish obstruction in parliament. Doubtless the Herald readers will bo gratified to have this short verbatim report of what Gladstone said. Speaking of the coercion bill ho said : "When this so-called gigantic engine of ob struction came In tlio way , when the first clause came before the commons it consisted of twenty-four lined ; when It passed through the committee stage It had nearly 120 lines. What does that show ? Why , that the govern ment did not know how to draft nor conduct their bill. It shows that .so many faults were lilt , so many weak points discovered , so many gaps had to bo dealt with , that with all their magnificent majority of CO , 70 , M ) , 00 and 100 they were oblige to lot the cause expand from thirty-four lines into something like four times that number. I have had a great deal to do with legislation ; I have been responsible for carrying what may be called heavy bills through the house , perhaps , than any man now living , but 1 do not recollect over having Introduced a bill ot any kind with clauses so badly constructed that a clause of thirty-four lines should , be fore it wan passed through thocommlttce , have swollen to 100. The reasons why business Is delayed Is because those who are doing it do not know how to do It , 1 do not mean to say there have been questions where half an hour or one hour's discussion might have been dispensed with , but can you bo sur prised that the members for Ireland should be zealous , bo cautious to scrutinize with the eye of n lynx every Hue , every word of n bill of this kind when not only are they threatened with coercion whllo the causes which formerly led to coercion do not exist but when they are also Insulted by having the proposal to parliament of n per petual coercion bill for Ireland. " That his answer , or the whole speech , a full report of which occupies seven columns In the Dally News , Is felt to bo strong by the morning tory newspapers , Is proved by their denun ciations of It. The consideration of the Irish crimes bill will be lesumed In the house of commons to-morrow , when clause 3 , which provides for the trial of certain cases by n special jury , will be proceeded with. Donovan's Latest Leap. ICopi/riu/it / JSS7 by Jame Gordon Dennett , ' ] LONDON , June 5. JNevv York Herald Cable-Special to the DEE. ] When old St. Paul's and a dozen churches near the Thames nt London bridge were ringing halt-past 1 , Donovan leaped from It Into the river , the probability of which occurrence was yester day cabled. Uo was accompanied to the parapet by J. Ualger , his trainer , and about half a dozen members of the Bast London athletic club. lie was dressed In a black frock coat , waistcoat and trousers , round hat and undercoat and waist coat and flannel undorvcst. "These are the identical things I wore when I made leaps from Brooklyn and Niagara Falls suspension bridges , " said Donovan. When ho got to the center of the bridge he placed bis hands on the parapet where it Is about seventy feet from tide-water and stood ( or a few moments , then jumped , holding his hands over his head , and dropped as straight as It on an Imaginary line Into the Thames , striking the water feet first. "I went under to a depth of sixteen feet , " ho said to mo afterward. It was a short time before ho reappeared , then he swam strongly for 200 yards towards the boat , which brought him to the Swan pier , near by , where I mot him with A great crowd , llo seemed none the worse for his exertion. Two city policemen now ap pealed , Intent on arresting him , but Donavan showed them a medal which was pinned to Ins breast , and said , "It Is not a case ot suicide. It is no use to arrest me. I am the champion rider and swimmer of America. " Tlio police released him and the crowd cheered. Ho walked away In bis dripping wearing apparel , attended by his friends , lie said : "I done It In honor of the jubilee year. I Intend doing Clifton bridge , which Is about a 330 feet drop , but do not wish the date published els * I may bo stopped. I feel ns well as I did before I took the jump and would do the same to-morrow only I gain nothing by it. I consider It one of the easiest leaps I ever dono. This jump is In distance half the ono from Brooklyn brldno and about a third less the leap from tno Niagara suspension bridge. " Ho Is liable to bo lined under the old regulations allud ing bridges.

Ho Is Denounced Hy Some and Up held By Others. Nr.w YORK , June 5. At a meeting of the Fifth ward branch ot the Irish National league to-day , Kx-Sonator Grady made an address , In which ho strongly commended Editor O'Brien for refusing to attend the moss meellnt : last night Grady said Ire land's cause should bo mixed up with no other question. Hellglous prejudices had formerly separated the Irish people. That had-passed torever. > o other conflicting element should bo allowed to come In. Ho was loudly applauded. O'Brien , In his statement ot his dealings with the committee of arrangements , says he accepted the Invita tion solely on condition that the action should be directed to the service of the Irish cause , nnd should in no manner Increase the difficulties of the Irish people , "already fiiilllclently cruel , by embroiling us In Amer ican Issues and thtiscslianglui : thosympathy of the American people , which Is one of the sheet anchors of our success. " Ho also says that the committee first brought him resolu tions to amend .is ho saw tit nnd agreed to change the presiding olllcor ( McMtcknn ) In accordance with his objection. They did not come to him a < ; aln until Saturday evening , when ho leained that the reolutlons could not be changed and that the objectionable chairman should preside. He then declined to alter his determination. A stormy session of the Central labor union was held to-dnv. John McMackln made an address denouncing Editor O'Brien for his action for refusing to attend the mass meeting last night. MnMackln said ho would not lower the flag at the command of ecclesiastical power or corrupt politicians. if Catholics were to ho controlled by foreign power there would be good cause for the sneer that they were not citizens. Resolutions were adopted denounc ing Editor O'Brien for his action. O'Brien lias received numerous telegrams congratulating him upon the course ho took in regard to the parade last night. Being in terviewed to-day ho bald : "I have not the smallest apprehension that the Irish nation- alUts will misunderstand mv action. They know how many malignant enemies are watching every word or act of ours in older to tortino them into weapons against Gladstone and Pnrncll. I nm satisfied they will also feel I have acted under a painful and solemn sense of responsibility to our great leader , Parnell , and trom tlit conviction any other course would have brought utter destruction ot the movement at n moment when the opinion of millions of English people Is trembling In the balance and when the most unscrupulous devices sro being used against us. " Mr. O'Brien was astounded at the statement from the platform in Union Square tlmt he had scratched out tlio resolu tion referring to Dr. McGlynn. The resolution submitted Dy the committee contained no al lusion , direct or iudlrect , to the McGlynn case , and the only reference was the state ment that McGlvnn was to be present and speak and to that arrangement lie had no ob jection. Mr. O'Brien added : "As to ilia Insulting suggestion that I was cap tured by Tammany hall and other American politician , I can only say that If any Ameri can politician had been gttllty of tlio remot est attempt to Influence my judgment In the direction of nerving American party Inter ests , 1 should have known how to resent it. 1 should have resisted any such attempt as surely as 1 felt obliged to resist the attempt to Identify us with the particular organiza tion by which the parade was conducted. " The Irish Editor Denounced. NEW YOIIK , June 5. At a largely attended meeting of the anti-poverty society to-night Dr. McGlynu was the principal speaker. In the course of his remarks he said that O'Brien probably did not know before who John McMnckin was. but ho knew to-day. O'Brien oneht to bo ashamed ot himself for screening' the resolution that the land belongs to the people. O'Brien is a landlord at heart himself. It Is only a question of a small percentage between O'Brien and Lansdowne. The speaker said : "When our trlands discovered they could do nothing with O'Brien they de termined to go on and give him a dose of coercion. They were going to send thnlr own greeting to Ireland and not what O'Brien thought. Wo thought the coercion clause would displease O'Brien and some of Ills Ill- advisers. " McMackln made a speech , in which ho said he had only contempt for a man who would goad men to acts of violence. CUBANS ANI"SPANIARDS. The III Fool I UK Existing Between the Two Nations. New York Commercial Advertiser : "Cu bans hate Spaniards , " said a Spanish gen tleman recently , "and do all In their power to show hostility to us. They look upon us as their masters and oppressors who hold tlio whip over their heads and only await a favorable opportunity to lash them with It. It Is true that they are largely em ployed In Spanish houses here , but tboy are treacherous employes , and will try. on the slightest pretext Imaginable , to create dissatis faction and trouble among their fellows. They think we regard them with suspicion ana enmity , but auch is not the case. We enter tain no ill-feeling against tliem whatever , and treat them just as well as wo treat our own countrymen. In many clicar factories owned by Spaniards two-thirds of the men employee ! are Cubans , and yet they accuse in of discriminating acalustthcm and of taking the bread out of their mouths lu favor of Spaniards. They are forever striking aud compelling their employers to shut down , thus seri ously Injuring their business , and In some Instcnces it has been found neces- bnry to remove factories to distant parts ot the country , i recall one Instance of this. A prominent Spanish firm of cigar manufacturers was obliged to rcmovo the fac tory trom Mow York to Tampa , Fla. A week ago ono of the foremen in the factory , a Spaniard , was murdeicd by some of the Cubans employed In the shop , and another was given twenty-four hours' notice to leave or be shot , and now the firm expects every dnv to hear that the book-keeper down there has either been threatened or killed. But the most exasperating thing about the matter Is that as soon as a Cuban becomes too poor or too lazy to work and take core of himself here , ho eoes to some charitable In stitution managed by Spaniards , the race he hates , and asks to be sent back to Cuba. Americans , too , entertain strange notions In respect to Spanish character. They look upon us as a nation of cut-throats aud assas sins , and class us with the dangerous Ital ians. Do you suppose an American jury would acquit a Spaniard of murder , how ever Justifiable ? 1 do not. I admit that Spaniards are quick-tempered and rash , but they seldom commit crime , as u little thought on the subject will show. The Spaniards here are orderly and Industrious , aud con trol vast business Interests In this city. i The Chance * In Favor of the Gun.

The State Temperance alliance has Issued fiom the headquarters In this city an appeal to the churches of Iowa for help In prosecuting the trial of Haddock's murderers. It Is stated that In the last trial the prosecu tion was seriously hampered by lack ot funds to secure counsel and witnesses , and that the only possible chance for success In the coming trials Is In being able to piocurc the best legal talent possible , and all of the witnesses necessaiy. Although there Is a good deal of feeling that Stoux City and Woodbury county ought to take care ot this trial and secure justlcn without the assistance of the rest ot the state , yet It Is also felt that the Intvrestg of the enthe temperance cause are nt stake , aud every temperance man Is concerned indirectly in the verdict. So It is proposed to ask from each church organiza tion In the state a contribution of $2 tor the Haddock fund , and If an average ot this amount Is collected , the prosecution will bo well prepared to enter the next trial and hope to bo able to secure the conviction of the murderers. A DKMOCHATIC OUHKUXATOIIIAL BOOM. The gubernatorial campaign has opened rather early and rather Iholyso far ns the democrats arc concerned. Some of the papers had been talking about Captain Meirill. of Clinton , ns n candidate , and suggesting that If he had been nominated two years ago In stead of Copperhead Whiting , the result would have been dilToront. It really beg.in 'o look ns It a Merrill boom were under way , nd if once fairly hlaited thoie was no telling low much grief It might have for the other andldates. So , to keep it off , the friends of -Congressman Frederick , ' OnrUon , " ns ho 3 lovingly called by his neighbors of Mar- halltown. started n counter boom In the hape of a formal rimuest lor him to become candidate , to which he responded In the tsual way < expressing his reluctance , of , to enter politics again , but in view of ils duty to the public nnd Ins party ho would iccept their very complimentary request to lecomo n candidate , etc. , etc. The "request" : ontalns torty odd signatures , representing .01110 . lit teen counties , but the lack of names it leading domociats with a state repute- ion Is very noticeable. The most of lie names sretn to be those ot sreon- backcrs or obscuio democrats , hut they will do for starting n boom just as well as any others. The main thing Is to give "Our Ben" a chance to announce himself , nnd lor that pniposoavery slight provocation is suffi cient. It is evident that there Is to be a 'Ively struggle for the dcmociatlc nomlna- iion , not because of any expectation that the nominee will bo elected , but for the prestige and Influence with the present admlnlstra- 'ion that the leader of this party will thus mve. The friends of Captain Merrill feel very sere that ho was , snubbed by the bourbons bens two years n o , and they are quite likely to Insist that this Is the : party's opportunity to atone for its mistake then. Tim friends ofFrt'deilck point to the fact that ho is a "good fellow , " clever wlth the "boys , " an Industrious worker for his friends , aud what js generally called "n rustler , " nnd so they nro confident that he should bo nominated. Consequently there are lively times ahead for the democracy. The republicans will un doubtedly nominate Governor Lnrrabcc , and so are not worrying at all about candidates.

Thoiepoitot the existence of contagious diseases In large cities outside the state , and the danger to which travelers are exposed by exposure to norms of diseases in the cars , liavo led the boaid of railroad commissioners to moke a very sensible and appropriate order. They have Issued an order that all Iowa trains running between Chicago and Council llluffs shall be thoroughly disinfect ed at either terminal upon arriving at such points.

" it Is Intended by this means to keep the cars thoroughly disinfected all the time , nnd so tar ns Iowa Is concerned , glvo travelers the largest measure of protection possible against exposure to the germs of contagious disease. OKTTINO BACK STATE LANDS. The reversal of several unearned railroad land-grants Is beginning to brine Its bonehts to Iowa. The governor has received from the land department nt Washington a patent for 000 acres oil land which were originally civen to the state under net ot congress of May 12 , 1504. The Innd was assigned to the stain to bo given as n grant for a railroad from McGregor to Sheldon. Uut as the title never rested properly In a railroad company it now reverts to the state , nnd under an act of the seventeenth general assembly It will go to the claimants who are occupying It in good faith , under provisional patents from the state. The lands lie In llumboldt and Kossuth counties in northwestern Iowa , n part ot the state In which theio are several other unearned railroad grants , which are In time expected to be thiown open to the public for settlement or to go to the claim ants now occupying them. IDLENESS AND DISEASE. A valuable line ot Inquiry nnd Investiga tion has been started by the secretary ot the state board of health. He has applied to the commissioner of labor statistics for informa tion tending to show tha relation between Idleness ana labor disturbances and tlio pub lic health , ills theory Is that protracted strikes and the enforced Idleness resulting therefrom produces many diseasosdependent upon general debility and depressed ment.U conditions. The man who is worrying about his employment , or who Is out of work and troubled to lind employment Is much moro liable to contract epidemics nnd liifectuous disease and less likely to icover from them than the man who Is free from such caios. It mny be possible to trace a direct relation between n strike and general sickness in the community , so that there will bo llgures to show how much sickness and possibly how many deaths aio due to a given strike or lock out. When that Is done , the men who nre re sponsible for the disturbance can bo con fronted with a torrjbln responsibility for far-reaching consequences. Then before a strike Is otdered the leaders may have to say how many lives they are willing to Imperil thereby. A VKTKIIAN KICKS ON CLEVELAND. There Is a lively cotnuiotlou Jif > t now In 'Grand ' Army circles over the invitation of President Cleveland to attend the national encampment In St. Louis In September. General J. M. Tuttle , department commander of the G. A. It. for Iowa , returned yesterday from St. Louis. Ho had been down to secure quartets for the Iowa boys , and while there he investigated the vyhole nITnlr. Ho was very Indignant that an invitation had been sent to Mr. Cleveland in the name of the G. A. It. , and ho declared that the old soldiers of Iowa would never submit to having the veto president there to review them. The general is a bluff old soldier of the old school laconic , emphatic , and mightily plain spoken. He punctuates his remarks with an emphasis that makes the air tremble. When ho Is thoroughly aroused as be was at St Ixmls , he speaks right out In meeting , no matter whom It hits. According to reports ho warmed up the St. Louis committee for having assumed , In the name of the G. A H. , to Invite Mr. Cleveland to bo their guest He told them that U the president came there under sncn auspices , the Iowa oh soldiers would stay away. The G. A. It. , ho declared , had always heretofore kept politic outot their organization , and this scheme fo getting Cleveland tit St. Louis at the time o the encampment , ho told them , was a demo cratic plot to help along his boom for a second term. The old soldier Is drcadfnll } In earnest about It , and since bis return h says the Grand Army of Iowa , Illinois Nebraska and Kansas will never consent t < being a party to any such scheme , least of al to help along a president who has Insultet everv old soldier In the country and callei the G.

Now and then hero were spurts or activity In parts ot the 1st , but outside of those quietness prevailed or the most part. The room traders had lilncs pretty much all to themselves , nnd outside dealings , nt least such of them as vero of nny magnitude , were directed to omparatlvcly few shares.

Operations in railroad jonds wcio on a very moderate scale and the market presented few features of Import ance. Governments ruled firm nud prices changed but little either way. The monetary situation was easy for the most part , and rates for call loans ranged Iiom4to5per lent , except when the market wns manipu lated. At such times there was usually an advance to 0 to 7 per cent , only to bo followed by decline of 3 to 4 percent.

At Oberlln this aftcmoon , during n thunder storm , much damage was done by n cloud burst or water spout. When the storm wns at Its height an Immense volume of water came down , suddenly swelling to a razing tot rent the little cteek wliick flows through the town. The stream rose several feet within a few minutes , tilling cellars nnd in many cases driving the people to the upper stories of their dwellings. Ono house was tloatcd irom its foundation and havoc was played In lumber jards. Three hundred feet of the Lake Shore railroad track was washed away and a passenger train was stopped. The Hood subsided almost ns quickly ns It came. The damage will probably amount to $20,000. Killed Hy Indiana. BENSON , Ariz. , Juno 8.

Says the Paris correspondent ot the Lon don Teli'giaph : Tlio croupier who acted as accomplice to the persons who lately won the sum of : K)0,000 francs , or 12,000 , from the tables at Monte Carlo has been tried by what Is called the higher tribunal ot Monaco. The name of the accused Is Gnidnnl , and ho Is a young man of good antecedents. Great In dignation Is caused among the numerous denouncers of the gambling tables because the authorities of Monte Carlo did not bring forward independent witnesses. It Is oven asserted that the persons who bribed the croupier to allow them to put the extra cards on the tronte-ot-quaranto table are thoroughly well known. Gaidani , however , was otlered up as the victim , the managers of the casino being said to bo afraid of revelations and scandals if others were proceeded against. Uo this as It may , the report ot the trial is amusing , if not Instructive read ing. The president ( M. do Lattre ) , for In stance , accused Gardanl of hnvlnz once be fore been caught tulng a packet of prepared cards. The prisoner admitted the tact , but added tlmt the managers of the casino had told him not to say a word about the matter , and had even Increased his pay. In his de- tense ( iardanl energetically protested that he did not know prepared cards were used when the 800,000 francs were won. lie continued to "cut" with complete good faith until tlu bank broke. The advocate general coiv tended that the cards were soiled mid thumbed with use , and that Gardanl could not have helped noticing this. Gardani was eventually condemned to clzhtecn months' ' Imprisonment. A curious feature of the trial was the usual "reconstruction" of the machinery of the crime In court , This con sisted In a camn of trento-et-quaiante , vvhlct was played tor the benefit of the tribunal b ) the manager of the casino and his croupiers.

Charleston News nud Courier : Strangers who visit Charleston nt this time will tind evidences of last ' "shako" very tow year's ex cept in the improved appearance of the houses , the number of new buildings going up on all sides , with hero and theio a mag nificent ruin Ilko that of the Hibernian hall , which In the eyas of much-traveled northern tourists so closely resembles the ruins of Pompeii that It seems almost a pity to 10- build It it will bo borne In inlnd that over half a million dollars so generously and promptly contributed by the big-lioartcd American people has been spout In repairing the houses of those pioperty owners In the city who wore unable to repair their own property. This amount represents , perhaps , about ono-tenth of the loss Inflicted on tlio city ; the commonly received estimate belnic that between 85.000,000 and $0,000,000 will bo required to lepalr all the damauu so far as it can bo repaired. The amount spent has been divided out among the material men , mechanics and others who nro concerned In such work. That It has been productive of much good to the community there can bo no doubt. But there Is another view of the subloct which sucgests actual progress outside of earthquake Influences nnd consequences. The statement that the city , dining the eight months that have elapsed since the earth quake , has actually made a great stride in the direction of new buildings would seem to be scarcely credible , but it Is borne out by ofll- ciul figures. They are taken from the books of the cltv assessor , and show tlmt since Oc tober 1 , lbM > , penults have been Issued for the erection of 1C- ! new buildings In the city nt n cost of S153.K25. Of these now buildings not over n do/en at the outside weio erected to replace buildings destroyed In the earth quake , for it will bo remembered that , whllo very few buildings In the city escaped seri ous damage , very lew were entirely de stroyed , outside of those consumed in the four fires of the eventful night of the 31st of August.

The Calcutta correspondent of the London Times writes : Mr. Westland , acting secre tary of the financial department , lately visited Gvvallor to make arrangements for taking over three and a half crores of rupees. which the regency is lending to the Indian government. Ho found that treasure to the extent of over 5,000,000 sterling had been accumulated In pits and wells Mink In the floors of vaults m the palace Lenana. The vaults are situated partially under ground , daylight being admitted through narrow openings in the walls. Attor removing the- earth to a depth of six feet the workmen uncovered a smooth , level pavement of large lltcstoncs. When tliosu were lilted thor came upon a square pit , tilled to the brim with glittering silver. There were several such pits , two or three of them containing jewels , but the majority contained each about fifteen lakhs ot Gvva llor rupees. In each pjt was a copper plate. on wnich was engraved the amount ot the content * and the name of the olllcinl who placed It there. As a nile , only the freshly- coined rupees had been burled , and the so- ciet had been Intrusted to a few confidential hervants. The money was dug up In Mr. Westland's presence and shoveled Into haus , which wore sent to the Calcutta mint In ! n 6tulliucnts of eighty lakhs each.

The dilToiencpbetween 10and 10 , 0 , was exactly the number of scores which the Leaven worth's allowed the homo club to tun In on thoin at the very start. Men went to bases on balls In one , two , thtco order , and then a sluing two base hit started the steeple chase around the diamond. Daititou | > layod In Walsh's stetul and Kruhnipyur for Hatter. S.illsbuiy pitched lazily ( luring tliu tirst live Innings , lie wns not pounded so vigorously as would have been supposed fiom the apparent slow ness of his balls , but the Loavenworths had no tronbhi in running bases on his deliberate delivery , nnd to secure the first b.iso meant , for these Innings , an almost equally sure pos session of the second. On tlio fifth Inning ho was sent into the right Held and Swift , who had not pitched boloio this season , wns placed In the box. The Omaha backers among tlvo atidiencn wcro displeased with tliu experiment and yelled for Isartsou vocifer ously , while they hissed Swift. In thren minutes tlio hisses were changed to cheers , and at the conclusion of the sixth inning the congratulatory calls mnclo him lift his cap. llo proved to bo a mountain howitzer. If his halls lacked anything of skews and curves unit drops thov moro than compensated for It in the tcrrllio speed which his lonir , sinewy arm gave them. Iheiowns no moro foollshne s about run nine to second base , nnd during the four in nings ho pitched only n total of tour balls wore batted bv the Leav- onworths. The possible dllliculty with Swift would bo to find a catcher who could hold his balls for nine Innings , al though Kiiihmoyor caught him , errorless , while he was pitching yesterday. It appealed tobcSwilt'sday nil around , as ho hit for H three-baser in the seventh inning and bioiiflit in two scores besides his own"which ho obtained on an excusable wild throw from the held. Genius distinguished himself by mnkliig a phenomenal running catch In center Held in tlio fourth when ascorodepended on it. The best Holding play of the day , all things considcu'd. was by the Lcnvonwoiths. Ono Omaha batsman was out ; another gnlncd second base on n hit ; Krchmeyer stiuck to shortstop : shortstop liclded to lirst base put ting Krchmojer out ; liist base fielded to third base , but the ball did not reach third until Dwycr who was running from second had passed it nnd niado n dcsporntodash for home ; and the ball was then lioldcd to tbo plate , catching Dwyer out.
