WASHINGTON. D. C. , Mny 20.
Hon. II. W. Fimms , who was so ably pre
sented to the president by the .Nebraska dele
gation for appointment as commissloner-at-
largo to the world's fair , was today appointed
an alternate commissioner to act In tlio place
of Hon. U. E. Kerins of St. Louis. Ex-Gov
ernor Frtrnns Is especially fitted for the com-
mlsslonorship , and the Ncbraskiins hero nro
exceedingly anxious to have him honored
with the oppolntmcnt , but for political rca-
nous1 the president deemed it advisable to
recognize Missouri.
Mr. Kerins Is a very prominent republican
in his slatnnd ; a busy man , and it is more
than likely that Mr. Furnas will have an op
portunity to take an active part in the man
agement of the fair after all.
OUAIIDIXO MIN'CKATj LANDS.
In the senate today Mr. Sanders of Mon
tana Introduced a bill providing that the pat
ent issued or to bo Issued to the Northern Pa
cific railroad company or its grantees or as
signs of land granted to it , shall not operate
or be construed to convey or to confirm in
said company or its grantees or assigns any
mineral lands , and such patents shalUcxprcss
that there Is cxcoptcd out of the exterior
limits of tbo several tracts the land in such
patents described , the mineral lands therein ,
and the words "mineral lands" as used in this
act shall not bo interpreted to mean Iron or
coal lands.
Thcro is a determined effort being made
upon the part of certain parties in Montana
to keep mineral lands along the Northern Pa
cific out of the hands of this company. Cir
culars have been sent here from Hu'enn ' and
placed in the hands of all public men and
newspaper correspondents , signed by
Thomas G. Merrill , secretary of the
Mineral Land association of Montana ,
HUbmlttlnir an argument under the head of
"Danger lo Montana Mineral Lands , " In
favor of the bill introduced by Senator
Sanders. It Is held that when tlio mineral
lands were surveyed and set aside for tlio
Northern Pacific railroad company their
character was not known to the government
und tlnit it would bo n great injustice to the
public to permit these lands to bo taken by
tbo railroad company us ordinary agricul
tural lands.
TUB IIAl.TIMOKi : H OHIO.
A well known gentleman from Baltimore
was talking today in regard to tlio different
stories about the Palthnoro and Ohio railroad
trying to purchase tlio interests in the com
pany owned by the state of Maryland and the
city of Baltimore. He said that the various
rumors in regard to other reads getting con
trol of the Baltimore .t Ohio and tbp pur
chase of this stock were not believed in Balti
more. Tbo true history of tlio case is that
tbo Gurrelt interests , represented now by
President Mayer and Garrctt's friends , nro
endeavoring to get the entire control of the
roaiL The directory at present consists of
.twenty-throe members. Sloven of those are
appointed hy tlio state and the city of Balti
more to represent the stock held by tbo two.
It will bo seen that It Is very hard
to control u majority or carry
out the plans of the Gnrrett's unless the
stockhdliicrs nnd directors are unanimous.
The stock held by tbo state of Maryland
amounts in round numbers to $1,000,000 , and
tbo plan at present Is to-puivlinso this nnd
thus secure control and take away from tlio
road the political influence which is so often
exercised. Of Into the appc intmont of di
rectors for the state and by the city has been
hi tbo hands of politicians , such as Gorman
nnd his ringstcrs , and they have been using
it for all it is worth. During the municipal
nnd state elections they always Injected poli
tics into tlio road and made it ono of the lead
ing factors In the campaign. This has done
much to demorali/o and break up the good
management of the Gurretts. Hitherto , in
regard to the directors appointed by the
fctuto the trouble bus been that they'have
been politicians and not financiers and that
some of them learn just enough of the affairs
of the road to talk about them on the outside
and give away the secrets of the corporation
to men who deal In stocks and who do not
hesitate to use the Information they get for
their own monctmy advantage. It Is In this
way that the plans of the Baltimore & Ohio
road become frequently known to rival
corporations before.tho plans are fully ma
tured. Tbo present negotiations are in the
behalf of such warm friends of
Mr. Gnrrctt and tlio president of
the road that they can bo safely trusted.
Senator Gorman , of course , seeing tlio. drift
of their plans Is doing his best to stop them ,
ho that ho will not lese his control , for In
political campaigns the Baltimore & Ohio has
always been a most excellent machine for him
to work , like n two-edged sword , first
against the people and then against the em
ployes , If the plans of the Garrctts are con
summated Mr. Gorman will lese a big strong
hold In Maryland politics. The road under
the present organisation is being successfully
managed in u business way and tlio general
officers will be glad to'see politics elimi
nated , oven if it docs result in making Mary
land a republican stato.

Is not likely that it will como up for discus

From tbo senate committee on public lands
Senator Paddock today ivpjrted with a
favorable recommendation the bill to repeal
the timber culture laws and for other pur

Senator Paddock so as to protect all the rights
of Nebraska. The timber culture laws are

An army case was decided In the court of

nctlon or Inaction of the government Captain
William C. Ide was tried by court-martial In
IWl ! ) on charges of absence without leave and
disobedience of orders , and was dismissed
from the scrvlco. For clghtccA years ho did
not enter any sort of protest , but accepted
his sentence in silence. In ISs" ho presented
n petition for restoration to President Cleveland -
land , who denied it. mid In 1883 he presented
a claim to tlio paymaster general
of the army for pay to cover
the period ot his absence from the
army. This was also disallowed. In 1889 ho
tiled his claim for back pay , amounting almost
to $ . ' 15.000 , In the court ot claims , on the
grounds that the sentence of dismissal of the
court-martial was not approved by the presi
dent and urging the Huuklo case as a prece
dent. The court held that the claimant's
silcnco for eighteen years barred him from
any ground of action and that his case pre
sented vital differences from the Hunklo caso.
This Is a precedent which will be cited Iu all
future cases.

CHICAGO , May CO. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Br.i"Though : ] n representative all my
life , I shall , because of the McKinley bill ,
vote next fall for the democratic ticket. "
This declaration was made this morning at
the Inland hotel by Plor&oii D. Smith , one
of the largest land owners and wealthiest
citizens of Nebraska.
"Seven months ago I went to Europe and
just returned a short time ago. While there
I made a diligent study of tlio practical opera
tion of tbo foreign political systems and their
effect upon the laooringclnss. As the result of
such study I claim , without equivocation ,
that the employes of foreign factories ,
though they are receiving lower wuses , live
bettor , enjoy moro perfect health , nro all
around as happy , if not happier , than Amer
ican employes. This talk about the benefits
of the tariff to our factory employes Is non
sense. If any more miserable set of men can
bo found than in the eastern manufacturing
districts 1 am not aware of their existence
unless it is the funning class. "
"And how do the farmers of Nebraska feel
about the McKinley bill ! "
"Very bitterly. They nro awakening to
the fact that they are becoming poorer and
poorer. My intimate relations with them ,
having sold about every farm there Is in
Boone county to them , enables mo to speak.
Tbo prices for their crops are low. Protec
tionists claim that but for a high tariff the
prices would bo lower because of no market
as If their factory hands in the cast
would stop eating. This the farmer is becom
ing aware of , and also that the McKinley bill
will advance the price of everything ho buys.
Tinware the farmer uses to a great extent. It
will go up fanning implements , too every
thing , in fact , manufactured. Just what tbo
republican party is thinking of in passing
such u' 1)111 ) I cannot imagine , unless it ex
pects that the wool it lias already put over
tbo farmers' eyes lias totally destroyed their
eyesight. But it has not. Fanners whom I
never supposed would even read the bill
have learned its important features by heart.
Tlioy SIMS which way the wind blows , and if
tlio senate passes tbo bill and It becomes a
law , tlio next president of the United States
will bo a democrat. I am not a dcniocint , but
1 am now in sympathy with Cleveland's tariff
reform , and shall vote for Cleveland If ho Is
nominated. "

CHICAGO , Mny 20. ( Special Telegram to
Tun Bni.j It was learned today that not
only Is thcro a plan on foot among western
railroad people to advance rates to their nor
mal basis , but that the president of every
western road had expressed his hearty con
currence in the outlines- the plan. The
plan hinges , as have all others , on the Union
Pacific-Northwestern ocontract , but It will
bo a surprise to every railroad man , expect
those immediately Interested , to learn that
nil the presidents agree that an association
must bo formed which recognizes ttio
legality of such contract. In rc-
tuni for this conccsssion , the Union
Pacific and Northwestern will bo expected to
concede various minor points asked by their
competitors. Chairman Walker of the Inter
state Commerce Kallwuy association has done
yeoman service In bringing about the present
desire for n restoration of rates. In the first
iilaco he secured a formal decision from the
interstate commerce commission that on tlio
present showings of Increased earnings , at
the present reduced rates , the commission
would desire the present rates permanent If
continued much longer. This was tlio sharp
est prod the western roads had received , and
with It as an argument Chairman Walker had
little difficulty in winning over Jay Gould ,
while in New York. Meantime letters had
been sent to nil western presidents , and the
result Is so unanimously expressed a desire
for restoration that there is a general belief
that the movement will bo a success. Chair
man Walker returns tomorrow and will
probably issue a call for a meeting In a day or
two.

Now York will , if it backs up thn Buffalo
meeting of lake men , make the way almost
clear for n restoration of rates. The basis de
cided upon at tlio Buffalo meeting uro satis

Jri.Kstirno , Col. , May 25. [ Special to TUB
Bii : : . ] Just across the Pintle river , about
ono milo south of Julesburg , thcro lives in a
little stone house of his own construction ,
Uberta Jubello , better known in this vicinity
as the "Italian Hermit. " A representative
of Tin : Bin : visited Jubello in his homo.
About four years ago this Italian took up as
a homestead UK ) acres of land In the South
hills , bordering the Platte on tiio south side
of the river. Hardly an acre of tillable soil
can bo found on his whole claim. Jubello
was not looking for soil to cultivate. Ho Is a
miner by trade , and the rougher the laud the
better it appeared to suit him. Out of the
lingo boulders found in the hills ho has
erected for himself a little stone house about
ten feet square , the walls of which
uro about throe feet thick. The
mason work on this little structure
would equal that on sorno of the finer build
ings in Omaha. The house is located at the
foot of a largo hill , which gradually rises to
the height of fifty feet above the , roof. Into
this lull of partly solid rock ho has dug n
tunnel a distance ot fifty feet semi-circular
.In form , six feet high and ten feet across.
From tlio main tunnel ho has dug numerous
little caves fur the storatre of Ids potatoes ,
coal , etc.
At the end of the tunnel he bus dug a wel ;
twelve feet deep and four feet In diameter.
This well contains eight feet of clear , spark
ling water. At the end of this tunnel a door
opens which le.ids into another ouo similar In
size that leads back to the place of entrance.
About ten feet further down from the house
ho has started another tunnel into the same
hill. Ho has been four yearn wonting on this
last tunnel anil lias penetrated n distance of
1UO feet. Tlio tunnel is largo enough
for a train of cars to run into it. Most of the
way this tuuncl has been dug through snlid
rock which has been broKcn to pieces and
carted away in a wheelbarrow to the valley
below. What .Inbollu's object is iu digging
this tunnel no one knuw.s , and no ono can find
out. Ho is fifty years of ui-o born In north

out anything of his previous history except

and takes a metropolitan wcukly , and keeps

LONDON , May SO. ( New York Herald
Cable Special to Tin' Hr.u.1 Lord Hunts-
ford , colonial secretary , lias received n note
addressed to the queen by the Newfoundland
IcgMntlve nnd house assembly. This docu
ment has probably no parallel In the history of
our colonial empire forthe angry and threaten-
Inirwhleh It assumes toward the government ,
except perhaps n dispatch In which North
American colonists In 1773 announced that
they would not longer pay taxes to Great
Britain , nnd so prepared a way for Indepen
dence. A copy ot this address has como Into
possession of the Humid , and wo publish
salient passages. The address says : 1Wo
have learned with the deepest surprise and
Inrm that modus vivcndl has been forced
into between your majesty and the French
government , not only tolerating for this season -
son lobster factories ojxn-atGd by the French
during last year , against which wo humbly
petition your majesty , but also
giving sanction by your majesty
for the erection of an indefinite
number of other factories by the French dur
ing the present season. Wo beg to submit it
to the consideration of your majesty that
thcro Is not a warrant of law , either imperial
or colonial , by which the erection of lobster
factories by the French or any part of the
coast of this Isliind is recognized ,
nor Is there any statute by which
British subjects can baprovcntod from exer
cising all rights of fishing on the whole coast
of this island as well as the catching * of lob
sters and the erection of buildings for lire-
serving the same In cans. From this
it follows that solely by force
Majearo exercised /without the sanction
oflaw. . If cither by the law of your
majesty or French naval military forces
French lobster factories bo maintained or
English lobster factories bo prohibited ,
could It bo wondered at if naval
and military authorities in either
country act without any sanction of
law in dealing with this question.
Inhabitants arc impoverished and brought to
the verge of starvation by this action. The
feeling of the inhabitants of this colony can
scarcely bo rcali/.cd by any ono outside its
borders , nnd probably exceeds that endured
by all white subjects of your majesty
in all your oth'cil colonies combined ,
and representing as wedo these 'J00,000 people
ple , wo can not retrain from expressing our
indignation at several attempts made by your
majesty's ministers during the present year
by tlio modus vivcndl and their action with
regard to our proposed legisla
tion , as more fully sot forth
hereinafter to surpass all their predecessors
in enforcing unjust claims. After setting
forth that several notsns to the fisheries have
been passed by the homo government , the ad
dress proceeds by a statement of plain facts
to still further sacrlllco the interests
of your majesty's subjects in this colony. The
nation calls for the use of every means in our
power to protect ourselves nnd our country
from destruction , which the French , ably
aided and abetted by your majesty's minis
ters , wo hope nnd brljcvo unintentionally ,
are endeavoring to'l. > ring upon us. The
colony will bo satisfied with nothing
short of a final removal of every
French lobster factory from the shores
of New Foundhind , u. ; > d. all means in our
'power will bo us > ed tcTfaat"end. . " 'Wlfennnbt
ask that the French should bo deprived of
privileges granted thorn by their treaty ,
though we claim that by tboir bounty on
fish caugliC on the shores of our
island , tlioy nro violating the terms
of the treaties , which stipulate that
that mode of conducting fisheries shall bo thu
same as heretofore , and no other. At the
time of signing these treaties no such bounty
was in existence , and wo think that during
tlio time that such a breach of the spirit of the
treaties exists it may well bo considered as
cancelling all claims of tlio French on
New Founuland , St. Pierre nnd Mlquolon by
French aggressions on ono hand and by
enormous bounties given by tlio French gov
ernment whereby they are rapidly excluding
our fish from foreign markets. Struggling
fishermen in this country must in
course of time bo crushed out of
existence nnd tho-su fisheries truthfully
designated by Lord Bacon as the fisheries of
Now Foundlaml , richer than the mines of
Mexico and Peru , will bo properly aggressive
and persistent. In our opinion the time has
arrived when the submission to such glaring
injustice is no longer possible and
this colony must take all and
any means in its power to frustrate
the designs of its despoilor.s , and by this ap
peal , your most gracious majesty , wo desire
to show that wo have right and justice on
our side , and that such steps
as wo may have taken will bo enforced.
Wo therefore humbly pray that your majesty
will bo graciously pleased to cause the re
moval of all French lobster factories from
the shores of this colony , and will withhold
all fishing privileges on the coast of Now
Foundlaml. _ _

AN OLD IOWA MURDER CASE * ?
Hartlin County Grand Jury Investigating
the Killing of Henry Johns.
A SEARCHING INQUIRY BEING ilADE.

Ei.notu , In. , Mny CO. [ Special to Tun
llii : : . ] Tito Hunlin county grand Jury ,
which IMS been working on the murder casu
of Henry Johns for two weeks , will not con ;
chulo Its labors before the last of the week.
County Attorney Huff Is conducting the ex-
examination of witnesses iitul Is making a
mostscnrehing Investigation , while the Kuins-
burgers nro scouring Iowa , Minnesota , Ne
braska and penitentiaries for witnesses.
It looks now as If the grand jury would llnd
the murderers , but they will not bo members
of the vigilance committee. Tills is the opin
ion of : i gentleman who has followed tlio in
vestigation by the grand jury and Is In n posi
tion to know.
Johns was shot about 1 n. in. April HO , 1SSI ,
and did not dlo until May 8. Tlio shot took
ciTcct in the left arm and was not considered
dangerous. Fin , Munch and Tom Itnlns-
bargcr , and tlio Johns family , attended him
and gave out that ho was getting better and
would bo able to got around In a few days.
They would not , however , let anybody bat
their wives and the attending physician see
the patient. On May ( ! Dr. Potter , tlio at
tending physician , told Mr. Johns that ho
might dress himself and go out in the yard
the next day. That night Johns was taken
worse , ami Dr. Morse of Eldora was called
on May 7 to consult with Dr. Potter. The
doctors , it is understood , testified before the
grand jury that they found the eyes
of the patient contracted and nn-
mistakable evidences of poisoning.
Dr Potter bad left a box of opiate pills , to bo
given when necessary. When ho found so
marked a change in the patient ho began to
look for the pills and llnally found the box ,
which bad contained forty or fifty pills.
almost empty. The patient was delirious and
died the next day.VhIlo in that condition
Mr. Johns was influenced to make an
affidavit implicating three men as his assail
ants , and to establish n case upon this state
ment , made by a man nlrcadv In a comatose
state from poisoning , the Kalnsbargers have
since directed all their energies , to convict
members of the vigilance committee. The
character of the witnesses called by thorn
clearly indicates a put up job , and should the
graiul jury conclude to lliid a bill upon such
evidence It will only result in ti largo bill of
cxpcn.se to the county , as there is not the
ghost of a show to convict. The principal
witness for the state is Homer Jones , u
convict brought hero from the ponctcntiary.
IIo testilics that he was lying at tlio side of
the road , only thirty feet from the scene ot
the shooting , and recognized all of Joh us'
assailants , and names them. One of the
men implicated was i.'V ) miles away at that
time , while others , It can bo clearly shown ,
were elsewhere.
The grand jury yesterday returned an in
dictment against Ed Johns , son of Henry
Johns , charging him with importing wolf
scalps from other counties and making oath
that he killed the animals In this county , seas
as to get the largo bounty-paid * hero. When-
the present grand jury gets through with its
.business the people will have a better knowl-
odecjjf the Ituinsbarg r and Johns families ,

from the Wisconsin synod , reanirnied its de
liverance of 1S70 In favor of retaining the
reading of the bible In the common schools.
The report of the standing commit
tee on publication was delivered y
Dr. Howard Crosby. There had
been organized 1,1-TJ now schools
with -IWJ teachers and : IS,80 ; ! scholars. Ono
hundivd and nine schools besides these have

powers of the presbytery and a paid secre
tary to facilitate this intercourse and fund of ,
say $5,000. to ho called a ministerial adjust
ment fund to pay expenses.
A large number of the committee reports
wen ) acted on.
N delating to the request from twp colnred
presbyteries to bo treated as independent in
their application for missionary aid , the same
as white presbyteries , tlio report of the com
mittee on Ircodnion favored the keeping of
them in subordination to tlio frecdinen's
board. Dr. Booth of New York protested in
dignantly against the recommendation of the
board.A flora spirited debate it was voted
ITU to I'M to grant the request of the

Thereportof the 'committee on dcaconlesscs
recognized tlio claim that women served in
thoj apostolic church in an oftlco similar to
that of deacons and held that they may bo
elected and set apart In a similar way ,
tills not being a step in tlio direction
of giving them license to preach. There was
a long debate on the question of amending
the form of government to correspond to this
report , but the recommendations of the com
mittee that there bo sent down to the presby
teries an overture for such a change was ac
