DAVENPORT, Ia. June To- Speciel Tcle-
gram to TEE BEE. -Some time ago it was
rumored that the city had been defrauded
of large sums of money by its street commits
sioner, Dan A. McGuein, acting in COLLISION
with persons interested In furnishing street
material. A special committee of the coun.
Gil was appointed to investigate the rumors,
and after period of secret labor made a
report at the regular session of the council
tonight. BY very loose method of keeping
city accounts of material furnished, Mrs.
ANA nda Cook, the proprietor of stone
quarry, or her agents, as the evidence shows,
have collected the sum of 81, ,0S2. 25 in excess
of the sum due them on rock furnished and
it appears that Street Commissioner McGu.
gin has received something over $500 as his
share Of the profits of the transaction The
matter was made public through a man who
was angry because he was not remembered
when the dividend was declared. How much
more has been stolen does not yet appear.
McGugin will be tried before tho council in
a few days, and possibly criminal prosecution
will follow. The implicated parties stand
we'll here.

is in Kansas City, observing the live stock
movement of the six lines, in connection
with the decision of the executive board
ordering the st. Paul road TO take no moro
than two tram loads week until other
wise ordered. Mr.. McNar reports
that, since June 10, the St. Paul
has received five cars OF cattle des,
tined to Chicago and is now declining all
stock except when destined to Milwaukee,,
st. Paul and local points on its own line.
The shipments from Chicago to Kansas City,
Tuesday, were rs follows in car loads: AL
ton, 81 of cattle, of hogs; Santa Fe, 80 Of
cattle; Burlington. 80 of cattle; Rock Island,
Of cattle Wabash, 4 of cattle, Z of hogs.
The Alton officials express themselves as
content with the above figures, provided
they prove permanent. They claim that the
st. Paul agents at Kansas City are using
every endeavor to turn the business over to
other roads than the Alton, in order to.
show that, with the St. Paul out of the
traffic, the Alton would not get what it
claims.

A POLITICAL SENSATION.
Remarkable Utterances of n Colorcd
Republican Organ.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 19.-fSpecial
Telegram to The Bee. Somewhat of q
political sensation has beer caused here to.
day by the following editorial from The
South, the new organ of the progressive ele-
ment among the colored republicans
"1he greatest menace to republican as
cendancy in our state is the large ignorant
colored majority that must be marshalled
against democracy to secure such an end.
Disguise the matter as we may, the fact re-
mains that such condition of affairs IS
alarming to many good men, and as long as
1t is contest between races the result must
continue as 1t is, and tho negro must go to
the wall. And yet it has been the deliberate
practice for years to force out of the party
every self-respecting white man who hap
pens to object to the peculiar methods IN
vogue, and to prevent any other from unit
ing Herewith. In other words, the
party was confined to select
few, the fewer the better, in order
that the offices might 20 around when the
distribution is made. In our own town there
are white men of character, intelligence and
means who have been voting the republican
ticket all their lives, and are still voting 1t,
that have neither standing nor recognition in
what is known as the union republican party
of the county Is it necessary to say that
such policy is suicidal, or that no party can
hope to survive very long by such treatment
of its best material' We think not.
THE question answers itself The presi-
dent has given the southern question a great
deal of careful thought and patient study.
He understands it thoroughly in all its bear
ings. and is heartily desirous of doing the
very best thing possible to remedy the evils
that exist. So, if he has come to the conclu-
sion that new blood should be introduced into
the party, and taken this method and occa-
sion of inaugurating the movement, we think
he has performed his simple duty TO
large majority of the people of our state,
whose best interest requires change. 1t is
u contamination devoutly to be wished. The
president shall have our earnest support in
any effort he may make to secure such an
end, and we feel that he Will receive tho
cheerful seconding of all efforts looking to
the accomplishment of such purpose, from
all honest republicans in the state of both
races. 1t is time to unload.''
Old line republicans refuse to have any
thing to say about the editorial, but the
younger colored republicans speak out boldly
and say that the negro must take back
seat If the republican party is ever to get
foothold in the south,

THE CLAN-NA-GAEL.
Catholic Authorities viii Investigate
It's Nature.

BALTIMORE, June 19.--It is given out from
a source that always has been regarded as
very close TO Archbishop Gibbons, that the
developments concerning the Clan-Na-Gael
that have been brought out by the murder of
DIR. Cronin in Chicago, will without delay
receive the very serious consideration of the
highest authority of the Catholic church in
the United States. To quote the words of
the chancellor of one Of the largest dioceses
IN the country, who stands close to the car
dlnal, and who was summoned to Baltimore
within n few days:
"rhe church will await the Developments
of the civil authorities in its investigation of
the Cronin conspiracy before IL will take any
action. II It should be developed that the
Clan-na-Gael is in any way responsible for
this deplorable affair l have no doubt such
steps shall be taken as will warrant the
order being condemned by all the archbish-
ops of the country. The duty of the church
is very plain in the matter and its line OF
action is clearly marked out by the DEGREES
of the third plenary council.n

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 19.- Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. l-Engine 99l, while
coming down Sherman hill this morning,
broke part of the machinery, putting the en-
gine out of the engineers control. The en-
gine, which Is ten-wheeler, plunged down
the grade at terrible speed, directly on the
time of the passenger No. 8, slowly pulling
up grade, drawn by two engines All Engi-
neer Campbell on the runaway could do was
to sound his whistle. It's shrieks warned the
engineers Of the passenger and it was
stopped at Hazard station, just as 99l came
tearing into view around the curve. A col
Iision occurred in an instant. The engineers
and firemen of No. 3 jumped and escaped.
Engineer Campbell jumped as the engines
came together. He was badly bruised and,
it is feared, was injured internally.
The shock threw the passengers from the
berths in the sleepers, but beyond the fright
they were not injured. All three engines
were demolished The loss will reach S25, 900.

County Asylum Be Removed.

County Asylum Be Removed.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Judge Prenlergast,
this morning. rendered his decision in the
matter Of the investigation into the affairs of
the Cook county insane asylum. The de-
csIon is u long one, but its central idea is eX-
pressed IN the judges reference to the polt-
ical influence which has been allowed to con-
troll the asylum.
"The institution must be removed from the
influences Of partisanship," says Judge
Prendergast, sin order that the sweet waters
of charity may not be polluted by politics."
The judge recommends that the asylum be
removed from its present site and that
special session of the state legislature be
called to attend to the matter He reviews the
evidence at length, pointing out the dreadful
results arising from the combined influences
of politics, overcrowding, brutality and filth.
Pointing out the defects of the political man
agement of such an institution the Judge says
the constant care of large number of the
persons appointed is to retain their places,
and they cultivate the friendship of the pow
ers that be instead of studying to increase
their efficiency and skill as attendants. 1t is
because there is no hope of remedy in the
city or county, the judge says that he rec
ommends a special session of the legislature
to pass law putting all such institutions
under the control of the state.

from President Miller, of the latter COM
pany: "lhe question is not whether we
have carried more live stock than any other
company. We admit that we have. The
executive board ordered us upon the appli-
cation of the Alton company to reduce our
carryings. While we were in process of re-
ducing the carryings as ordered by the
executive BOARD, the Alton company
Withdraw from the association on the charge
that we disregard the order of the executive
board, and aso that we have otherwise vio-
lated the agreement. This we deny and
claim that such charges cannot fairly be
made the basis for a withdrawal from the
association, or held to be good against any
company until the ample and effective means
provided in the agreement for ascertalning
the truth have first been exhausted"

BOOMING THE vALKYRIE.
Her Owner Thinks She Can Beat the
Volunteer

LONDON juno 2O.-[Special Cablegram to
TIE BEE. Lord Dunraven and his brother
in-law, Mr.. Kear. in an interview to day de-
clared that the Valkyrie fully answered their
expectations. She had proved herself emf
nently superior to other crack yachts on all
points-in running before the wind, in sailing
tie wlndward, and in running half free. She
had also impressed them with the idea that
she would exhibit speed and excellent sea-
going qualities in very heavy weather; in
fact, that she would prove equally
good in heavy and light weather. 1t
was hard lines, they said, to
be thrown off race by luky winds. The
Valkyrie will sail tomorrow for Liverpool,
and will race from that point to the Clyde.
She will then sail for New York. They
were confident that the Volunteer would be
selected to defend the American cup. They
would, themselves, sail in the Valkyrie in
the race for the cup. They believed that the
Valkyrie would win, especially if, as was
most likely, moderate weather prevailed. In
a gale, however. the Volunteer would natur-
ally have an advantage. They would not use
the center board.
