Whited Sepulchre.

Pcwrcntcrs.
More Revolving disclosures.

CHICAGO, May 22.-In the inquiry as to tho
state of affairs in tho Cook county insane
asylum, to-day, DIR. Clevenger, formerly a
member of the medical staff there, testified
that 1t was impossible for reputable practi-
tioner or attendant to stay there The most
disreputable ones were the ones to stay, be-
cause they devoted more time to intrigue.
The dlsreputable ones eliminated tho better
element by either physical violence or other
means.
"In 1885," said the doctor, "physicians who
secured bodies at the asylum for dis ssection
at Rush medical college told me the bodies
were so covered with vermin that they had
to be scorched before being placed on the
dissection table, Once, in 1885, / heard
screams of pain, and running to my Office,
found two attendants standing over pa
tient who was bleeding protusely. / knew
there was no use making any complaint, as
these attendants were supported by influence
on the county board. Soon after they refused
to obey my orders. They secreted bodies on
which | desired to hold post mortem examin-
alton, and could not get them for two or
three DAYS after they were buried. l pub
lished statement, and the following night
one of the attendants abused me. A few
minutes later shot was fired downstairs.
The bullet crashed through the floor and
lodged in my book case"
Soon after this doctor resigned.
"What is the matter with the institution
nowi" asked the attorney.
at is under the influence of boodlerism It
is in bad place, on unsaubrous grounds.
There should be two new buildings one for
male and one for female patients. Then the
county board should be kicked out and the
asylum put in the hands of state commis-
sion.n
Dr. Clevenger told how boodlerism had
prevented investigation. Even ministers of
the gospel were afraid of the boodlers, who
occupied seats in their churches. He said there
has been repeated testimony that vermin
abounded in the wards, and Dr. Kohler,
an assistant physician. found maggots in the
wounds of neglected patients IN 1884. Bed
bugs would torture patients under their
straitjackets and rats would mutilate the
bodies of those who had died unattended
during the night. The male attendants were
usually appointed by the county commissions
ers for their fighting qualities at the polls at
election time. Brawls, drunkenness, oaths,
incessant alarms pistol shooting, immor-
atty, stealing, etc, exerted very depress-
ing influence upon the decent OFF,
cias there and caused them to
waste much of their energy in keeping
out of rows. The county boards financial
reports were falsifed and confused. in a var
iety Of ways, and often the expression,
General expenses" would cover 81, 900 or
more of unaccounted bills. Everything
was done to make an apparent showing Of
external cleanliness, but the whtc.washing
and the flowers aud well-kept lawn consti-
suited the place but whited sepulchre.

Taffy Each Other.

BERLIN, May 22.-Ths afternoon King
Humbert and the Prince of Naples visited
Prince Bismarck. At luncheon in the palace
the emperor proposed toast to King Hum
bert. He thanked the king for the mark Of
friendship shown by his visit to Berlin, and
said that the troops he had just reviewed
were as grateful and proud of the honor
done them. In conclusion the emperor SAID ::
II drink to the king and queen Of Italy, to
their brave troops and to the unalterable
friendship between Germany and Italy"
King Humbert declared the unity of Ger
many and Italy formed pledge of European
peace.
"Our armies," he concluded, "know how

St. Louis Downing Chicago.

CHICAGO. May e. Special Telegram to
THE Bee. In spite of the fact that the ST.
Louis grain differental market rates are so
adjusted that there is practically no differ
ence IN the eprices received by western pro-
ducers from the two cities, while navigation
is open Chicago has the advantage, and
during the winter the Mississippi barge lines
give ST. Louis the advantage The price re-
ceived by the Western Iowa farmer for corn
in st. Louis is % S5-l00 cents bushel. In
Chicago the price is % S0-l0O cents a bushel.
There being practically no difference in the
price, and Chicago having the advantage of
the lake lines, 1T was hard to explain why
large consignments of corn went to St. Louis.
Commissioner Iglehart, of the Chicago
Freight bureau. has been investigating the
matter, and finds that st. Louis commission
men have been throwing off their commits
sions and thus securing considerable busi-
ness. He is now wrestling with the question
of how the commission men pay their rent
and expenses.

THE AMERICAN CUP.
Performance of the Yacht Built to
Capture 1t.

[CopWt0ht 1889 on James Gordon Bennett.l
LONDON, May 22.-TNew York Herald
Cable-Special to The BEE. More than
ordinary interest was centered in the open
ing match of the season for frst-class
yachts, to-day, from the fact that the new
cutter Valkyre, which has been expressly
built to contend for the American cup, was
one of the competitors. The Earl of Dun
ravens boat came in first, but just missed
taking the third prize. The Deerhounu,
another new cutter that was launched last
Thursday, being first by time allowance.
From yachtman's point of view the
weather was unfavorable, there being an
absence of wind; and 1t was in consequence
of this that the officers of the day decided to
shorten the course to about thirty-six miles.
II was great struggle between the Yarana
and the Valkyrie all the way, and half the
way on the run home the cutters were on a
dead level. .ITheValkyrie then drew away and
came in first, by nearly five minutes. The
Trek made poor show, but the Deerhound
took the first prize and was only ten minutes
behind the leader.
The competitors We're the Mohawk, Vreda,
Yarana (distanced), Deerhound, FoXhound,
Valkyrie and Irex; and the official times
were, Valkyrie, n, 81 IN, 50 s; Yarana, 4
h, AZ IN, 81 s; Deerhound, h, AZ IN, AZ S;
Ircx, not timed; Vreda, h, 81 IN, GAS. The
Deerhound saved her time ON the two leaders
and the twenty-tonner took the second prize
There was not much to choose between the
Yarana and the Valkyrie, the latter having
the worst of it by few seconds.

twelve years ago he quarreled with his family,
and left his California property in the hands
of an agent, who has since collected the
rents and paid out half over to the family
and deposited the remainder in the bank TO
the credit of Shields. The latter moved to
Puget Sound, and has, for some years, been
working as day laborer in Puyallup, eight
miles from here.
After he left for California the Omaha
Town Site company jumped his claim, and

judgment obtained. He received a letter
few days ago from his California agent,
ASKING him for instructions as to the invest
ment of the rents from his California prop

ILLINOIS COAL MINERS OUT.
They Refuse to Submit to n Reduction
MithOut Arbitration.

JOLIET, ILL.,. May 22.--The coal miners Of
the twelfth district of the Natlonal Progress
sive union met yesterday to discuss the diff
ferences between the miners and operators
of northern Illinois. The operators were iu-
vited to attend the meeting, but refused.
Work is suspended in the district owing to
the proposed reduction in wages of 10 cents
ton. The miners offer to accept reduc-
tion of 2l3 cents a ton Resolutions were
adopted late last night Offering to submit to
arbitration if the proposition TO accept 21f
cents reduction did not prevail, and affirm
ing their purpose to fight to u finish. If ar
btratlon is rejected by the operators, they
will call upon the locomotive engineers and
fremen to refuse to haul coal from the mines
working under lower prices and upon all or
ganized labor to refuse to handle coal shipped
from such places.
Word has been received hero from Braid
wood that the miners at that place are parad .
ing the streets in a threatening manner, VOW
ing vengeance upon any men who may go to
work in the place of the strikers, and some
threaten to burn the mine works. The
sheriff, with posse, has gone TO Braidwood

TICKET SCALPERS.
The American Ticket Brokers' An
uual Convention.


New YORK, May 2?.-The American Ticket
Brokers' association began it's annual con-
vention to-day, with fully one hundred dele
gates present from all parts of the country
The convention will last at least two days.
Tomorrow night a banquet will be given, to
which all the leading railroad officials in this
city and vicinity will be invited, and at
which an informal general discussion on the
subject of ticket brokerage will be in
dulged In.
President McCrary called the convention
to order and read the annual address. He
called attention to the fact that the great
railroad corporations have been for the past
few months endeavoring to have the busi.
ness of the members of the association
branded as illegitimate. These magnates,
he said, had by every means in their power
tried to have laws passed by the different
legislatures declaring their, business
The small railroads, he said, princi-
pally depended on the ticket brokers
for their subsistence, and that was the
reason why the large railroads wished to de-
stroy the business of the brokers. The re-
port of the executive committee dealt mainly
with what was termed the persecution TO
which the members OF the association were
subjected to during past years. 1t says in
part:
"Our occupation has been mallgned, scan
dalized and misrepresented, charged with
conspiracy, with crime, with fraud and with
all that IS evil. But the public has been our
ally, and truth and honest dealings our only
weapons. and we stand to-day victors upon
a hard fought field
The report was adopted. After several
communications had been read the conven-
tion adjourned.

Evolution Tahooed.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 22.-The evolu-
tion question came up again to-day in the
discussion of a resolution to disapprove of
the action of the South Carolina synod con-
demning as unwise, irregular and uncon-,
stitutional the action of the Charleston Pres
bytery in forbidding public contending
against the decision Of the Baltimore assem-
bly, in the Woodrow evolution case. After
several heated speeches resolution disap
proving of the action of the South Carolina
synod was adopted by vote of 1l3 to 81.
Thus the doctrine of evolution was again
showed under. In particularly vigorous
speech on sustaining the action Of the
Charleston presbytery, Dr. Girardeau said
they had the right, as guardians of the
church, to prohibit the circulation Of such a
false doctrine.
"The matter comes down to the question
whether We as a church, are to consider the
scriptures as silent or not in regard to the
manner Of creation. The Baltimore assem-
bly, said not The Charleston presbytery
said not, and i hope this general assembly
will say the same.n

LEAGUE LEssENED OUTRAGE.
o'Brien Continues His Testimony Be-
fore the Parnell Commission.

lore tnc ParneiI SOmmtssiOns
LONDON, MAY 22.-William O'Brien con-
tinued his testimony before the Parnell
commission to-day. He denied that he had
ever published in United Ireland articles in
citing outrage. The league, he said, was
founded chiefly to oppose secret landlord
combinations. The landlords had formed
combination having a nominal capital of
9l,000,000, for the purpose of carrying out
evictions by the wholesale and replacing
tenants with colonies of tenants from other
countries. He had been member Of the
committee of the league since its organiza-
tion. Witness had never heard a suggestion
to encourage outrage. Several branches Of
the league had been suppressed IN conse-
quence of strong language used at the meet
ings, and the excessive boycotting TO which
they resorted.
Witness attended the convention in Amer
lea IN 1886 He had no connection with the
dynamiters while there, as the bulk of those
who attended the convention were men OF
high standing. Witness saw Patrick Ford
at the convention. He appeared to be sorry
for the attitude he had previously taken.
On cross-examination, O'Brlen said he did
not consider boycotting unconstitutional. 1t
was simply Irish for black-ball!ng. In
answer to further questions by
the attorney-general, O'Brien said
it was impossible to say what is legal and
what is illegal in Ireland. Anything that
two resident magistrates said is law, is law.
The league certainly tended to lessen out
rage, but no league or human power could
prevent crime ir such n crisis as that of 1879.
He had never advised people to assist the
government in the detection of crime be-
bility the league wholly repudiated. United
Ireland had never denounced secret societies

Bullion From the rockies.

CHICAGO, May 22.-LSpeclal Telegram
to The BEE. IA special meeting of the
Trans Missouri association was held, to-day,
Chairman Finley calling the meeting in
Chicago to secure larger attendance of
members. The principal item of interest
considered was the bullion rate from Ne
vada and Utah to Chicago. When the
Union Pacific was the only road Ill the field,
it made contracts with all the western
smelters by which it was guaranteed in
pcrpetuity a large share of the business.
The Burlington and Rock Island are now
determined to do some of the business, but
in spite of reductions in rates the Union
Pacific has practically the whole traffic.
Chairman Walker, of the interstate COM
merce railway association, has been appealed
To, to apply the association rule concerning a
proper distribution of traffic in case one
road gets more than its share, but has as yet
made no appointment. The Union Pacific
will fight any move TO divert part of the
bullion business, and the association made
no headway in the decision OF the question.
The meeting will he continued tomorrow.
