DBS MOI.VKS , In. . Juno 20. | Speclil to
the UKK.J The customary liKiulry that
greets a Dei .Molnes man when Introduced
away from homo nowadays Is , ' 'So vou'ro
from DCS Molnes ; well , do you know General
TuttleV" With nil duo respect to Dos Molnes
there arc doubtless thousands of peoplu who
have had It first directed to their notice ns
being the home of General Tuttlo. The gen
eral Is the best advertised man In thocountiy
just now. nnd nil sections , climates nnd
classes have heard ot him. His nameIs ns
familiar In New Orleans as Philadelphia ,
and as well known there as in Chicago , or
nny city nearer homo , ills personally stands
for an Idea , In this casu the low.i Idea In
point of time , namely that the Grand Army
of the Itcpnbllc Is not to bo a party to any
BChemes tot mending Mr. Cleveland's politi
cal fortunes , or tor that mutter to bo used tor
nny paitisati purposes. While General Tuttle
is so much talked about , the subject of so
much comment mo\ed nlongln n modest ai\d \
quiet way. General Tuttle Is over six feet
tall , strong nnd well built flame , slightly
bowed with the burden of about sixty years.
Ho has a large , well-set head , with fulf gray
beard , closely trimmed , making him look In
the face a llttlo llko General Grant. Ho has
Grant's retiring disposition , and ho Is a man
of very few words. Firmness and decision
nro stamped nil over his countenance , and
when once ho drives his stakes , he stays right
there. In speech ho Is slow and hesitating ,
but when thoroughly roused his words slip
out with great fluency , and they arc ) apt to bu
punctuated with some \ery emphatic ex
pressions. General Tuttle lives In a large ,
imposing looking house on Sixth nnd Chest
nuts streets and Is held In great cstoom by
his old comrades ot this city. Ho Is presi
dent of the board of trustees of the soldiers'
home , nnd spends much of bis tlmo at'Mar-
Bhnlltown superintending the construction
of the building there. Such Is the man whose
name. Is talked about from the Atlantic to tlio
Tactile.
KASSON nnowiNd rnr.ni.n.
"Thcro Is n man who would measure up to
the stature ot a t rent United States senator
and represent Iowa In the senate In the
ablest manner. " The remark was mndo by
a veteran politician as he pointed to Hon.
John A. Knsson , who has iccently returned
homo to this city from nn extended visit
east. This was not the only observation of
the kind that has been made , for despite. Mr.
Knsson's feeble health and advancing nge ,
there nro many pcopln who would llko to see
him In active politics again. Ho has been
spending some time In the mountains ot Vir
ginia , nnd ho says ha Is much better than
when ho went away last , fall , but hu Is far
from beluga well man. His voice Is weak
nnd Ids uenes nro unsteady , but ho Is
still the peerless orator of the state.
His llttlo speech n tow nlghtn ago , protesting
against the retuii : of the rebel flags , was a
reminder of the graceful yet stirring oratory
that has delighted the 'people of Iowa for
nearly thlity years. He has had a remark a
bio career In public life. It boian with hi'
appointment as Hist assistant postmaster
general by Lincoln. It has Included several
years service in congress , a term as minister
to Austria nnd Inter ns minister to Get many.
For polished , elegant diction , nnd felicitous
expression , 1m has no equal In Iowa , nnd few
lu the United States. Ho is still the moat
popular public speaker , ana his name cnn
always 1111 the largest hall. Hut ho Is gutting
along In years , and his health Is very much
broken and It isdoubttul If ho over outers
public lite again. Still It Is true as suggested ,
that were he in the United States senate , ho
wonh ! give Iowa a lepicscntntlvo who could
Gtnnd comparison with any In the union.
COAI , OUTPUT I'AI.MNO OKI' .
These Interested In coal mining are trying
to find an explanation for themniked falling
oil in the output from three of the principal
counties In the coal bolt , in Polk county ( In
which DCS Molnes is situated ) the number of
tons mined has fallen from G10.W1 In lbs to
a37W ! In 1SS0. in Uoono county the outpu
lias fallen trom 47,07. ! ) { in IbM to 201,070 in
IbN ) . In Webster county tlm largest output
was In IbN ) , when It was" 2AS.5GO tons , whllo
last year It was but 107,777 tons. This falling
on in these three Impoit int counties Is prob
ably duo to local causes that have Influenced
the Undo , for In the othcrcountlcsof the coal
belt the output Is gieater than ever , showing
that there Is no danger of the extinction of
Iowa's great coal product lor some time to
couio.
A CHANCE KOUA NOVKI
The warden of the Anamosa penitentiary
lias been to see the governor ami lay before
him a singular case under hln charge. A
prisoner Is now con lined there on a charge of
blu'niiiv , but ho claims that the crime was
committed by a twin brother , who Is free
while the Innocent ono Is behind thobais.
As twins ho sajs that they resembled each
other so closely that the olllccrs mixed them
up and aricstcd , and the court tried the
wrong fellow. That at least Is his story ,
A number of letters have been written to the
warden from panics who plead for the twin ,
ns they say , who Is unlawfully confined , and
condemn the henrtlosbiicss of the other twin
who has escaped. Some letters purpoitlng
to bo from the missing brother wore nlso ro-
coUcd at the penitentiary , bnt experts sav
they are all In tno saino Handwriting , and
after considering the ease the governor has
concluded that the follow \\lio is already In
prison can servo a whllo loncor , unless ho
cnn produce bettor evidence that ho is not
himself but the other follow.

The action of the boaulot retonts of tbo
Btate university In removing three nf the
older members of the ( acuity , has crented a
llttlo commotion , but those who nro familiar
with the needs of tlio school say that It was
the right thine to do , nnd should have been
done some time ngo. The truth seems to bo.
that there has long been need of now blood
in the faculty , nnd the election of a new
president gave an opportunity to reorganize
the teaching force. Llko In so many state
Institutions there were cliques and factions
among the professors , nnd a bad feeling ,
\\hcn there should have been harmony.
I'rof. Fellows , one of the tencheis
icmovcd , has been somewhat nctlvo
In making prohibition speeches nnd enforc
ing the prohibitory law , and ho Is said to
claim that the regents are punishing him for
that. Hut that excuse will hardly do In a
prohibition state like Iowa. The piobnbllity
Is that after twenty yours' service In the
school , ho had failed to keep up with the
times , and so has to glvo way to a \ nnnvho
will. Iowa has been unfortunate In these
factional lights In Its state schools , but It Ute
to bo boned that with the present teorganlza-
tlon ot the university faculty , and tlm Infus
ion of new blood , under now management ,
further trouble may bo avoided.

CIIKVIIXSK , Wvo. , June 20. [ Special Tel
egram to the Hii.J : : News received by the
Associated pi ess last night to the elfect that
Commissioner Sparks was about to return to
the Cheyenne land ofllco for cancellation
fltty-fivo sections of Wyoming desert land
causes considerable excitement here among
stockmen and land owners. The parties In
terested In the land proposed to bo thrown
open to the public are principally New York
and Boston capitalists associated In the
Goshen Hole Irrigating company and the
Union Cattle company. Thomas Sturgls ,
secretary of the W > online Stock Growers' as
sociation , Is the president of the Uulon Cat
lo company and a stockholder of the Goshen
lolc irrigating company , ile denies with
real emphasis tl.o truth of the statements
ontalnod In the reports of Special Agents
< 'iy and Dowers , the cancellations being
lased by Commissioner Sparks on those re-
lorts. Mr. Sturgis says that work on the
itches to reclaim this land was begun
n IbSl , nnd has been continued
sver since except in midwinter ,
, vhcn it was impossible to woik.
iVt the present time there are forty double
earns at work , and that during the past tour
oars over SUfiO.OU ) has been spent to reclaim
ho hied on land ; that at the present time
, COU to 8,000 tons of hay aie raised an-
mally on portions of the land thus re-
Inlmed ; that several bundled acres of alfalla
ire growing up on lands upon which Agent
. ' 'ry reports that the ditches were not con-
itructed to carry water. The right to tnko
n desert land not being confined to clti/ens
t the territory , but being open to resi
dents of any poitlon of the coun-
ry , makes the deseit claim of the
lorelgn" ont'ymon a local one , nnd Mr.
Sturuls charactoil/cs as false the report of
Special Agent Hewers that the "foreign" on-
.rymen were Induced by Sturgls to make
heir filings. Ho also states that before
.ho project of reclaiming this
mmenso tract ot land was entered
nio the matter In all Its bearings , Including
.ho "foreign" entryman portion of It , was
aid before the late secretary ot the interior ,
ind received Ids full approval. With these
'acts ' kept In view Mr. aturgis concludes that
he persistent effort of the department to
conceal these entries whllo other claims on
which a much less amount has been ex
pended and much less workdono are allowed
to pass , must be regarded as a personal and
political pnsedition of himself and his
company. The present action of the depart
ment Is not final , the ontiyman having an
other hearing at the Chojeiino land office to
show eauso why their claims shall not bo
cancelled. It thov lese here they can appeal
to the secretary of the Interior lor a final de
cision. The lands In question , aggregating
over 6,000 acres , nro among the finest iria/-
Im : lands in Wyoming , and If lully re
claimed by Irrigation would make some of
'lie richest farming territory ot the west.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
A UlscournKiiiK View Taken oI'DeLcs-
scps' Urctit Protect.
CHICAGO , Juno 20. [ Special Tclecramto
the BHK ] W. J. Glllesplo , a native of Chicago
cage for the last two years , and who has
.vorkcd In a responsible position on the Pan
ama canal , got here from Panama yesterday.
He Is In the employ of an American Dredg
ing company which Is working on the canal.
"There nro from 12,000 to 1-1,000 men alto
gether at work on the canal at present , " said
Mr. Glllesplo to-day , 'lint It the canal com
pany does not soon get another loan the
work cannot goon much longer. There has
been the grossest mismanagement In every
llrectlon. Parts ot the canal that liavn been
excavated have been allowed to fill up with
clay washed down by the livers , so that much
of the work has bad to bo done twice. Im
mense quantities of useless machlueiy , made
principally In Belgium , are strewed all along
the route , lying Idle and rustlnir. In some
places the line of the canal has been chauccd
after being cut , so that now cutting nad
to bo mudo to till in the old
ono. There Is such mismanagement
In every direction and such a general slip
shod way ot carrying on business that If they
had all the money tfiey wanted 1 don't bo-
lleve they could have the canal finished for
ten years yet What Is needed * o push it
through Is to put It Into the hands of a few
American contractors. It this had been done
at the beginning the canal would have been
completed with the money already expended.
If the company would lot the contracts not
for excavating so many thousand or hundred
thousand cubic meters but lor completing so
ninny miles ot canal then the work would
bo done. Of course as it Is the contractor
doesn't care , lie is paid for excavating so
many hundred thousand foot and It Is no
concern of his If It tills In as soon as ho Is
throiuh. in a seventeen-mile suaco i have
been working on the Chares river which
crosses the canul In seven places , in some
parts of the canal the watoi Is running eight
knots nn hour. The river washes down the
mountains and Is constantly tilling up tlio
canal , so that some of the places
where wo excavated a lull depth of twenty-
eight feet are now only ten or twelve feet
deep , having tilled up again. Some work has
been done toward a deviation of the Chagres
river , the intention bumc to have the river
run to the sea by a now channel north of
the line of the canal. If the mnnaceis bad
had nny sense , they would have deviated the
il\er first and cut the canal afterwards. "
Mr. Gltlesple seemed to think It possible ,
c\cii probable , that the whole project would
be allowed to diop so far as the present gen
eration Is concerned. Ho thinks If the Nica
ragua canal project Is fairly started and put
In the hands of enterprising American con
tractors , with the experience of the Panama
project before them , and knowing what to
do and what to buy , they will be able to com *
ulete the new canal easily within live years ,
or before the Panama canal can be three-
quarters finished. This would kill the Pana
ma business completely.

Flro nt tlm Union Stock Yards Kc
ultH In Heavy Lous.
CHICAGO. Juno 20. A million and a quar
ter dollars went up In smoke at the Union
Slock yards to-day. Karly this morning an
cniplojoof tlio Chicago Packing and Pro
vision com } any discovered fire in the tank
room. In a few minutes ono of the tanks
exploded , scattering burning lard over the
adjacent bulldlnes and a do/on tires were
soon competing with each other in the de
struction of the Immense establishment. The
llro was not put out tilt this evening ,
fourteen and a half hours after Its start , and
a live acre oven will remain on the prem
ises red hot for a couple ot days yet.
In this territory were the four large buildIngs -
Ings of the packing company. Tlio main
building was ! KR ) by 475 feet. This , with the
exception of the curing room , which was
saved with Its contents 19,000,000 pounds of
short ribs , In a damaged condition Is a total
loss. On the east side of tlio main building
was the warehouse , four stories and base
ment , and coiitainlnir 17,000 barrels of mess
pork belonging to Armour. The building
nnd most of the pork was totally destroyed.
Between rx)0 ) and 700 hogs were also cremated ,
Back of the main building was tliu feitlllzliu
factory , 10U feet square , and the engine
house , 50 by OS leet , ooth of which structures
were completely destroyed.
The fact that no ; wlnd was blowing was
probably the only ciicumstanco that saved
the entire stock yards liom destruction. Before -
fore the lite department could respond to the
hrst alarm the flames had calned a headway
that no amount of water could reduce.
Twenty-six engines and every reservoir In
the yards were boon biought Into play. All
of the firemen nnd hundreds of stock yards
employes' efforts were bent toward keeping
the conflagration confined to the
woiks of the Chicago company. About
this time more tanks exploded and A heavy
beam went smashing Into a freight car where
several firemen were stationed , breaklne
Pipcman Baker's ankle and knocking Lieu
tenant Klllott unconscious. Soon afterwards
the walls of the warehouse fell to the ground ,
disclosing great heaps of moss pork , which
200 or 300 ol Armour's men went to work re
moving as best they could. After the flames
had consumed most of the woodwork of the
buildings the tire still held sway in the ercat
mounds of burning moat. The sullocatlng
fumes from this and the blinding hot dust
from the falling walls of brick niado the
task of the firemen a terrible one , and many
of them wore well nigh overcome.
The most exciting scene ot the day was
presented when the men were attempt
ing to drive out live hogs In the uoper sto-
ilfs. Below were scoies of workmen rolling
out barrels of poik. Down on the crowd
pell mell leaped do/ens ot heirs maddened
by burns , jumping through hatchways. The
workmen below were compelled to lice for
their live ? . In tlio afternoon when a num
ber of hrcmcn were trying to save the short
ribs In the cuilng loom a division wall fell ,
injuring Thomas Muiphy so severely that ho
died a few hours later , Five other firemen
received severe wounds , Armour value B his
pork at s00ooo : ! , but thinks the salvage and
insurance will make him even. The plant
ot the Chicago company was valued at 8300-
ooo , and stock at 3700,000. About half ol the
2,000 employes will bo thrown out of work.

HA.TOX , N. M. , June 20. | Special Tele
gram to the BKI : . ] There Is trouble among
the settlers on the Maxwell laud grant In the
northern part of the territory and the bitter
feeling toward its claimants Is growing
stronger dally. Throits are heard on every
hana and several rows have occurred. The
following Is a copy of the call which has
been i.ssued lor a meeting at this place Au
gust 1. It needs no comment :
Shonldoi arms , torwaid march. Settlers ,
the so-called Maxwell grant is public do
main , it was thrown open to settlement and
entry ns public lana In 1S74 by ho linal an-
thotitat'u ' ! judgment of the seeictary of the
Interior This final judgment , settlers , has
ne\erbecn reversed. For several years It
has been treated with contempt by specula
tors and corrupt otlicinls , but It has never
been reversed. Commissioner Williamson ,
nftei the seeictary had pronounced the judg
ment of the land department final could not
reverse that judgment. The supreme court
did not dare to say in its piinted decisions ,
although the matter was brought
to Its attention , that Commis
sioner Williamson could arbitrarily
reverse the Imnl decision of the secretary of
the inteiior. The nine supreme court cor-
ruptloulsts dodged that point in the Interest
of the public land thieves , In pretending to
aibltrarlly reverse the final nnd vested judg
ment of the secretary ot the Interior , Com
missioner Williamson committed an Infa
mous crime in the Inteiest of these high-
toned public land thieves.

Settlers , you are now asked to submit to
this outrageous crime. Dou't you do It.
Only contemptible cowards would tamely
submit to bo knocked oil from public laud by

tlers , you are not cowards. You obeyed our
summons once ; obey U again. Come to

and If we cannot In mass meeting assembled
without a rumpus get the attention of the
nation to the crime committed by William

A Great Day , Big Crowd , and Much
Ehthusiasmi
A VERY SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.
The Last Day Characterized Ity a
Imrgo Attendance , Some Excel
lent Work nnd Great Denl
of KiithUftlngin.
If the first day of tlm bicycle tournament ,
was a success , the second and closing day
was a triumph.
At a low estimate 1,300 people were In at
tendance , a great portion of them being
ladies. The south wing of the grand stand
was comfortably tilled , while the blenching
boards were packed , and hundreds of car
riages and buggies lined the course , making
the scene picturesque and beautiful. Indeed.
While the crowd was extremely enthusias
tic and demonstrative , the best of order was
maintained and there was not a single uu-
towarrt happening to mar the perfect pleas
ure and harmony of the occasion.
The Musical Union band was
nualn on hand and the music discoursed
throughout the afternoon was In consonance
with the sentiments of the vast crowd , tno
delightful strains as they filled the summer
air , enhancing exceedingly the stirring
events of the cindered path.
' 1 ho weather , with an unflecked sky and
slmoonlsh winds , was , a trifle ere amatory ,
and yet the physical discomfort that arose
from this source , was but little heeded In tbs
unlnt riupt d excitement of the afternoon.
Messrs. II. K. Charted , of Now York , and
S. U. V. Orlswold , of the BKI ; , were again
chosen judges , with Messrs. J. r. Allnrd , F.
N. Clarke and Perry iladalletlo as scorers
and timers and Harry Currio pistol tiror.
Amidst the plaudits of the expectant
crowds , the lirst event on the afternoon's
card , the 3:30 : class , amateur , three mile dash ,
was called. t
The staitors were 131. Lytle , George J.
Hosiers , Diehl Wurt/ John Iteirton and W.
K. Magnur , Omaha , and M. A. Sailor and J.
It. Stockdale , Minneapolis.
At the crack of the pistol thov secured a
good send otf , but quickly conglomerated
into a dangeious bunch , which necessitated
moderate speed until they became disentan
gled. Lytlo was the lirst to pull clear , and
ho sot n rattling pace , closely followed bv
Hosiers and Wuru. For three laps , with
the others trailin ? , these positions weie
maintained , but on the fourth Kosters drove
ahead , hotly pressed by plucky little WurU.
They weio nil bowling along at a tremend
ous gait during the sixth lap , when , lu
loundlng the second turn , Kosters got into a
rut and Ills snowy-clad form described a par
abola as he lett his saddle and wont
over head first into the dust.
Assistance quickly reached him and he was
gently lilted over on the glass , where ho lay
n moment in a seml-unconsclons condition.
Agoblntof Ice water , however , acted as an
ellecUvo restorative , aud but little Injured ho
came Into the stand , in the meantime the
other contestants had bent to their work with
increased determination , and the finish was
close and exciting , Stockdale crossing the
chalk-lino a winner In 11:50 : ; with Wuitz
second. 12:00 : , and Lytlo thiid , 12:01 : 2-5.

This was the dandy trial of the trio , both
sprinters leaping away llko frightened bucks

in 2:28 : 2-8. While this was the poorest time ,
it was the most intciestlnc trial , owing to
the uncertainty ot the outcome.
Tlm final trial brought to the scratch the
winners of the three trials , lirc/ee , Kendall

This , also , was an event of more than or

resounded throughout the amphitheater from
the opening to the finish. Savaee , who is as
sinewy and muscular ns a professional ath

the riders leaped from them at the close.
Knapp had cut out tlm pace , but his sand

representative from tlio windy city. Now

amount of chinning and nn expenditure of
much time , before they could bo driven from
the track and field , In order to permit of the
closing o\eiit of the day.
This was the 3:16 : class , amateur , three mlle
dash , with Bob Smith and William Dukes , of
Omaha , and K. A. Savage , of Minneapolis , to
score.
Attar a spirited struggle Smith came. In
first , but , as hoisemen put It , by a nose tlio

What an Imminent Catholic Says
Alxmr HU Hxeoinmtitilcutioii.
Ni'.w YOKK , June 20. ( Special Tele
gram lo the BKI : . | Ono of the most eminent
Catholic authorities In this countiy , whoso
lews may bo considered In the main as
ropresentlnc those held by leading prelates
of the chinch hero , said to a reporter yester
day when asked If Mcl ( ! > nn would surely
bo cxeommunicatoil : "Them Is not the
bill-litest doubt that ho Is already excommu
nicated. Sentence was passed upon him by
ho pope In May , on one condition , namely ,
hat ho should appear at Kome within foitv
.li.ys from May 2J. That is the tlmo the
summons was handed to htm. Ho did note
o , consequently no condition remains , and
excommunication takes effect Ipse facto , No
iirthcr ceremony is necessary. In othur
kvords , he has excommunicated himself , it
s true that what Is termed minor cxcoiumu-
catlon punishment for holding intercourse
with ono under scntonco of major excom
munication has been abolished , yet it must
> e boino in mind that all who take part with
ono excommunicated byname by the nope ,
ns Keony , Dr. Coy , Mr. Beilln ,
and otheis of St. Stephens arc dolni' , also
excommunicate themselves. Excommun1-
c.ilion by the pope Implies far more than ex
communication by a bishop. The fact of the
loctor's expulsion will probably bo made
' mown in all chinches , hut Just in what man
ner I cannot say at present. This will bo
lone to prevent pilesfa and others irom hav
ing anything to do wilh him through Isnor-
nnco of his excommunication. " Despite thn
fact that the doctoi's expulsion Is almost
ceitain , a number of his friends within the
church still hold to the bellet that the sen
tence will not be carried out , at least not as
soon as expected , July a , when the forty days
expire. A stav of proceedings , It appeals
iias been asked for in the matter by these
who have charge of the doctoi's interests ,
and this , together with the protests against
his expulsion that have been sent to Dr.
Coughlan nnd others , will , It Is thought ,
cause the pope to postpone the execution of
the threatened penalty.
The lofliinnco of Patents.
WAPHI\OTOX , Juno 20. [ Special to tlio
Bin : . | An examination of the list of patents
gianted to linentois in various paits of the
country every week \vlllnlloid an Interesting
itudy to him who Is interested in the
mechanical piogrcss of the United States.
Thcro aio Issued each week an .uerngu of
nbout 400 patents. Of these very few nro
upon Inventions which are entirely now.
On the contrary nearly every patent granted
this year con filets in a greater or less degree
with that gir.nted to some ono who thought
out a similar Invention before. The Inven
tion and patentinu' any nitlclc , from a print
ing press o a paring Icnlle , Is sure to spur
some ono clso on to attempt nn improve
ment , ami the result Is that thcro are fre
quently hundreds of devices similar In many
respects but ha\lng some slight points of
dlftcienco protected by letters patent
every jear. Two jears nco the Investors of
the country seemed to 1me gone wild on the
subject ol car-coiiplcr.s , and It was a very
dull week Indeed when there were nitt at
least six of these articles nddeil to the list of
those patented before. Yet It Is said that tlio
railroad companies have not yet been adlo to
select from the lot a single device which will
do away with the old system of coupling
up with a link and pin. After every lall-
road accident when theie Is a considerable
loss of Hlo trom file , then ) is Mite to bo a
number of applications filed tot heating cats
by some other method than the common
stox e. Yet the patent IH still to be Issued w hlch
will combine absolute safety with utility.
There urn already something llko 2.V ) pat
ents recorded for car-heaters. One thing
which every ono Interested In the patent list
notices Is the tact that the west is rapidly de
veloping nn inventive cenlus. Afew > ears
ago It was a rare occurrence to find the rec
ord of a patent Issued to a resident of one of
the western states for anj Invention not con
nected with agriculture. Lately , honour ,
the spirit of Improvement seems to have
taken a dcen hold of the western people , and
among them are many of the most Ingenious
devisers of the country. New Kncland still
letalns the lead lu the matter of complicated
mechanical devices , but the west Is gaining
rapidly , and especially In elt-ctrlcal ma
chinery , In fast crowding to the trout ,
