They Are Restrained from
Putting Their New Sched-
ule Into Effect.
The Matter Will Be Argued

DIES MONIES. To-, Nov. 27.-Judge
Brewer, of the United States circuit
court, to-day enjoined the state railroad
commissioners from putting into effect
their new schedulelOf rates in what are
known as the Dubuque, Davenport and
Burlington cases. adopted Nov. 8. He
fixed the hearing on the question of the
injunction at st. Paul, Dec. IL. The
preliminary restraining order was issued
from Topeka on application OF the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee d st. Paul road and
the Chicago. Burlington d Quincy
ped proceedings which they had begun
for suits against railroads for violation
of this schedule, and will wait for the
hearing at the time named.
The order of the court was transmit
ted by telegraph from Topeka, Kan. 1t
came just in the nick of time for the
roads to reap the benefit of it. for the
commissioners had just prepared and
were about to serve the attorney gem
eral with notice to begin suits for viola
ton of the schedule under section % of
the law. To say that the commissioners
were surprised doesn't express it.
They were thrown into state of pain
at once, which they didn't get over for
some time. Smith and Campbell fitted
back and forth between their Office and
the governors private office, and
then they would take a trip across
the hall to the attorney generals
Office. Commissioner Smith was in
cllned to think that the service of no
tice being by telegraph was not binding
upon the board, but after free and full
discussion the attorney general came to
nd
to obey the order of the court. The
states chief law officer, if he instituted
the suits, would become liable for con-
tempt as the agent of the board, and he
evidently did not care to incur the pen
atty Of Judge Brewers wrath. There
fore the board has concluded to obey
the order and no suits will be COM
menced. "There is one good feature OF
this Injunction" said Commissioner
Campbell, THAT we will take advantage
of. We are cited to appear in court again
to show the reasOnableness of the latest
schedule. and we re now prepared to do it.
We can introduce all the evidence taken
in the Davenport, Dubuque and Bur-
lingtOn cases which will make much
stronger showing in favor of the justice
of our rates than we were able to sub
nit to the court at our previous hearing.
This evidence the court cannot ignore,
and while the injunction is embarrass-
ing just at present, it is likely to help
us in the end" This injunction may
exasperate the governor so that he will
call an extra session of this legislature
to enact this schedule into statute SO
that there will be more trouble about it,.
But it is apparent that an injunction
would hold just the same then as now i.
The governor is reticent and will say
nothing as to what he proposes to do.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

1t provokes smile to hear Senator
QUAY and ex-senator MAHoNE say
that their sole object in raising con-
test over the Virginia election is to
purify the ballot. Every one comedies
that in many quarters, both North and
South, the ballot needs purifying, but
no one sincerely interested in securing
election reforms would for moment
think of employing MATTHEW QUAY
and WILLIAM MALONE as the agents
through whom the publication was to
be accomplished. Their past political
records do not justify the belief that
they could ever be eminently successful
as ballot purifiers. Senator QUAY's
connection with the board of pardons
in Pennsylvania was not calculated
to inspire the supremest confidence in
his genius for publication, and there
has certainly been nothing in ex-Sen-
ator MAHoNE's political history to sug-
gest that he is the embodiment of vir-
tue. The Republicans of his own state

THE IOWA EVICTIONs.

The Iowa evictions have excited more
or less public sympathy for the unfortu
nate people who have been summarily
turned out of house and home. 1t is
natural that it shonld be so, for there is
no more distressing sight than to see an
individual by any stroke of misfortune
deprived of the home which shelters his
family and which represents the earn
ings accumulated by years of hard toll.
Nor is it a wonder. even in a state
with the reputation for intelligence and
a law-abiding spirit that Iowa possesses,
to find these people resisting ejectment
and requiring the officers of the law to
resort to forcible eviction. Still, with
all It's harsh features, there is another
side to this matter, which the public are
entitled to see. The claimants for these
lands have both the legal and equitable
title, as has been affirmed and reaffirmed
by the supreme court; and the elected
settlers have been the victims of land
sharks and Of that miserable policy so
long pursued by the general government
of granting away the public lands to
Judli SCttlClSs away UdCb Ill lOtO
the United States government granted
to the state of Iowa each alter
nate section within five miles Of
the Des Moines river, to be
used in making the river navigable.
Instead of undertaking the work itself,
the state turned over the lands to cor
poration known as the Des Moines
Navigation d Railroad company. The
corporation subsequently became in
solvent, and the creditors, foreclosing a
mortgage, became the owners of these
lands. Through the misrepresentation
of land sharks and the connivance of
government land agents, settlers were
induced to occupy some of these lands,
| and in number of instances the gov
eminent issued two patents-one to the
| navigation company and the other to
| the settler. Naturally enough. litiga-
| ton grew out of this complicated state
| of affairs and as usual, the poor settler
is the sufferer. The title of the naviga-
ton company is held Valid and the set
tiers are pitched out of doors. There
are six counties in Iowa-Polk, Boone,
Dallas, Webster, Humboldt and Ham
ilton-in which these lands lie. and con-
sequently there is great excitement
| along the DeS MOines.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew said tonight that there is no

He said he had not seen Mr.. Roberts

will be righted in few days. but in
answer to the many rulnors of adjust

done nothing more towards a settle

from Chicago that big scheme was on
foot to form vast railroad pool west of
that city, Mr.. Depew said: THAT

TORY MAGNANIMITY.

Irish Members Under the Ban
Will Be Allowed to Discuss the
Estimates-Impertinent Police
men in a Hole.
LONDON, Nov. 27.--In the house Of
commons this evening Mr.. Baifour in
timated that the Irish members against
whom warrants of arrest had been
issued, OF upon whom summ0nses had
been served, would be permitted to sit
in parliament while the Irish estimates
were being discussed. When the house
resumed consideration of the land pur-
chase bill in committee, Mr.. j. G. Shaw
Lefevre LiberaD moved to insert In the
bill provision that no advance shall
be made to a tenant purchaser exceed
ing the amount of $4,000. Tenants
borrowing in excess of that sum,
he commended, belonged TO the landlord
and not to the peasant proprietor
class. Mr.. Balfour opposed the motion.
There was no fear, he said, that the act
would be abused by the turning OF ten
ants with large holdings into ploprie-
tors to the exclusion of smaller holde rs.
Lord Randolph Churchill held that the
act was being passed as an experiment.
That being the case he was unable to
see why the proposed limits should be
imposed. The attempt OF the Irish con-
stable, Jeremiah Sullivan, to serve a
summons upon David Sheehy in the
lobby of the house of commons last
evening. has created moro profound
sensation than was at first believed.
though the indignation aroused in the
house by the affair was outspoken and
general. Mr.. Sheehy's statement Of
the incident as question OF privilege.
interrupting the consideration OF the
land purchase bill in committee,
PROVED A WET BLANKET
upon the progress of the bill, so far as
Tory persistence was concerned, for the
rest Of the night, and the discussion OF
the measure thereafter dragged along
YEARLY until Mr.. Balfour in all ex-
tremely mild manner moved clOture
after MIR. Conybeare's severe structures
upon the governments Irish policy.
The brief proceedings of the committee
of inquiry appointed to investigate the
circumstances of the service upon Mr..
Sreehy elected the fact that inspectors
Loundes and Jennings had instructed
Constable Sullivan that the service OF
the summons upon Mr.. Sheehy was a
matter of extreme urgency, and Sulli-
vans further testimony disclosed the
fact that he had received $40 from the
inspectors to defray his expenses in pro-
ceeding Immediately to London and
serving the writ in whatever place he
might find Mr.. Sheehy. 1t is certain
that Inspectors LoundeS and Jennings
will be summoned before the committee
at its next meeting on Thursday, and
possibly Mr.. Baifour himself will be re-
Ouired to give testimony.

ABATEMENT OF CRUELTY,

The ANGEL who inspires and di
reefs the organized movement for the
prevention of cruelty to animals gives a
somewhat glowing view of the progress
of the work. One curious incident is
mentioned in the connection that is,
that there has been remarkable de-
cline in the horsewhip trade. Most of
the whips sold over the entire continent
are made in Massachusetts, and the
manufacturers report the hardest year
for a decade in their business. They
do not attribute it to the humane move

on Trial.

on trial.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-ln the trial to-
day Of Hronek and other alleged anarch-
lists for conspiracy to murder Police In
spect0r Bonfield, ex-State's Attorney
Judge Grinnel and Judge Gary, through
whose efforts Parsons. Spies and Engel
were hanged year ago, the first witness
called was Frank Chleboun. The wit,
ness was one Of the men arrested
with Hronek, but has turned states
evidence. His testimony produced
great sensation, it being of a most
startling character. Chleboun, being
unable to speak or understand the
English language, gave his testimony
through an interpreter, land it was to the
effect that he met Hronek soon after the
Haymarket riot, when the latter told
witness that he had great scheme to
burn up lumber yard, and that he had
also missed chance to kill Inspector
Bonfeld. Hronek showed him several
bombs, which were experimental with
on the prairie some days later. On
several occasions Hronek told the
witness hat they must have re-
Yenge for the death of Parsons, Spies
and Engel, and showed him photo
graphs of Judges Gary and Grinneli
and Inspector Bonfield. Witness and
Hronek also went together to find
Judge GrinnelFs house SO that they
could locate it easily at another time.
This was a few days after President
CIeyeland's visit to this city, and
Hronek told witness on their way back
from Judge Grlnnell'S neighbOrhood,
that the president had had a
very narrow escape from death
while here, as he, (Hronek),. was
about to throw q dynamite bomb into
the presidential carriage during the
procession, but was dissuaded from
doing so by his companions. Hronek's
plans were to kill Inspector BOnfield
first, but afterwards decided to make
Judge Grinnell the first victim. He
said that if no better opportunity
offered, he would go into the court
room and throw a bomb at the
Judge, and then if the police,
tried to capture him he would
use bombs on them, and IL
this failed, he would shoot the officers
and then himself, but if he got a chance
at Grinnell OF Gary on the street ne
would use knife. Witness said
Hronek's wife did not have enough to
eat and wanted her husband to abandon
his murderous plans and go to work,
but that Hronek said he had mission
to perform and would perform it ii she
starved and he was hung. After fur
Their unimportant testimony was given
by Chleboun, the court took a recess.
Chleboun was further crosS-eXamined,
but nothing of material importance was
brought out. ]. Il. Barrow, an employe
of the Etna Powder company, testified
to having sold one of the defendants,
Seyic, twenty-five pounds of dynamite;
one lot in July, 1857, and one in May,

Secretary Villas Denies the North.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. - Secretary
Villas has rendered an opinion denying
the Northern Pacific Railroad compony
the right to construct branch line
through the Puyallup Indian reserva-
ton in Washington territory. and intl-
mating that the main line of the North
ern Pacific railroad, through the Indian
reservation in that territory, was con-
structed without warrant of law. In
refusing to allow the building OF a
branch to the main stem of the road,
he says: ''In the absence of any au-
thority of law for the construction OF
the proposed branch or spur of railroad
in the reservation, no permission can be
granted by the department for that pur-
pose" He also calls the attention of
the commissioner of Indian affairs to
the fact that, though former grant for
the main road through the Puyallup
reservation was made by the Indians
and approved by the department April
Is, 1857, it was done without authority,
as congress alone has power to authorize
the construction of railroads through
