WASHINGTON. June 3.-The secre-
tary of the interior to-day transmitted
to the senate an opinion by the attor-
ney general constituting the act of Oct.
2, 1883, which appropriated the sum of
100000 for investigating the extent to
which the arid regions may be recov-
cred by irrigation. This opinion is
transmitted in response to a resolution
by the senate inQuiring particularly as
to the views of the interior department
concerning the scope and effect of the
following section of the act of Oct. q:
And all the lands which may hereafter be
designated or selected by such United States
surveys for sites for reservoirs, bitches or
canals Tor irrigation purposes, and all the
lands made susceptible of irrigation by such
reservoirs bitches or canals are from this
time hencefOrth reserved from sale as the
property of the United States and shall not
be subject, after the passage of this act to
entry. settlement or occupation until further
provided by law.
The attorney general states his con-
clusions as follows: 1.-THE object of the
act is manifest. 1t was to prevent the
entry up and the settlement and sale of
all that part of the arid region of the
public lands of the United States which
could be improved by general systems
of irrigation, and all lands which might
thereafter be designated or selected by
the United States surveys as sites for
the reservoirs. bitches OF canals in such
systems. 1t was the purpose of con-
gress by this act to suspend all rights
of entry upon any lands which would
come within the improving operation
OF the plans OF irrigation to be reported
by the director of the geological survey
under this act. Language could hardly
be stronger than are the words of the
act in expressing this intention. En-
tries should not be permitted, therefore,
upon any part of the arid regions,
which might possibly come within the
operation of this act" The general
effect of this opinion, if the law is not
modified, will he to reserve from settle
ment and entry practically the whole of
the great arid regions of the West. The
secretary. in his letter of transnittai,
suggests that if congress does not fully
concur ain the purpose of the law,
it should take the business in hand at
once, to so modify it as it may deem the
public interests require.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-A business

ed. Among the speakers were
congressman McAdoo, Springer.
Bynum and Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
Tonight mass meeting OF working
men in textile goods was held at Ken-
Sington, and was addressed by the same
gentlemen. Both meetings were called
for the purpose of protesting against
the Mckinley bill. There were 1000 to
1O,O0O people at the Kenslngton meet
ings, and three Overfi0wing meetings
were necessary. Abig parade of work.
ingmen preceded the meetings.
Resolutions were adopted declar-
ing that both parties had promised
to amend the tariff so as to remove un-
necessary burdens and enlarge our mar
kets; that the party now in power had,
on the contrary, proposed to add to the
burden and restrict the market by the
Mckinley bill; and the meeting would
be satisfied with nothing short of free
raw material and such general reduc-
tons of tariffs as to cheaper the neceS-
SdIy Ol lllt anu Open lOlelSn uIdIkeIS,

ter was as follows:
F. A. Herwig. Esq, President-My Dear Sir:
desire through you to thank the Kensington
Reform club formerly known as the Work
ingmen's Tariff Reform association, for the
courteous invitation have received to attend
a mass meeting on the evening of the Sd of
June. The terms in which the invitation is
expressed convinces me that the question
OF tariff reform is receiving the
attention it deserves from those
most vitally interested in its just and fair
solution. | know that with the feeling now
abroad in our land, and with the intense ex-
istence and activity of such clubs as yours,
the claim presumptuously made that the peo-
pie at the last election finally passed upon
the subject of tariff adjustment will be en-
phatically denied: ana that our workingmen
and our farmers will continue to agitate
ing their welfare, with increased ZEAL
and in the light of increased knOwl-
edge and experience until they are deter
mined finally and in accordance with the
American sentiment of fair play. / use no
idle form of words when l say that re-
gret my engagements and professional occu-
pations will not permit me to meet the men,
bers of your club on the occasion of their
mass meeting Hoping that those who are
fortunate enough to participate will find it
to their profit and that the meeting will, in
all respects be great success, l am yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Two Hawkeyes Killed and Six
Injured During Storm.
GLENwooD, To-, June 3.-A terrific
storm passed over this city last night.
Shortly after midnight heavy black
cloud advanced upon the city from the
west, and the low rumble that preceded
it was suggestive of danger. The black
ness of the night was frequently dis
PEELED by vivid flashes of lightning.
The threatening objects moved with
great rapidity and about one O'Clock it
reached this place. The rain fell in
torrents and was lashed about by
strong wind. The kissing of the light
ming was followed by a deafening
clap of thunder. In few hours the
storm spent its fury, and the first evl-
dence of it's disastrous effect was the
state institute for the feeble-minded.
The storm struck the institution at right
angles, and the large smoke stack that
lowered above the engine room tottered
and fell with crash. The roof OF the
building was too weak to support the
weight and the smoke conductor tore its
way through, and in its descent claimed
for it's victims. Willie Cline, of Clark
county. and Wesley Emery, of Monroe
county, they being instantly killed
and their little sssbodies crushed
almost to pulp. Six others were
more or less injured by the falling OF
the chimney. The injured are: John
Swallow, of Dubuque, bruised about
the body and slightly cut; Sam Askins,
sof Council Bluffs, bruised about the
body; Willie Prather, of Wayne county,
badly bruised and cut; he may die;
Fred Wright, of Fort Dodge. body
bruised; Ed Street, of Lee county,
bruised about the heau and body; he is
seriously injured. Henry Snyder, OF
Benton county, bruised about the head
and body and arm crushed. Several
other buildings were wrecked. The
storm was the most severe that ever
visited this section. Specials from
Creston, Atlantic and other points show
that the storm was equally severe.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June ga.
Willard, United States consul at Quay
mas, Mex, in letter transmitted to the
senate to-day, reports the arrival of Ill
more Cinnamon at Mazatlin. The Chi
nese whose arrival at Guaymas was re-
ported in a previous letter, Mr.. Willard
states, have left Guaymas for towns in
Sonora, near the United States frontier,
and are awaiting an opportunity to cross
the border. The United States officers
were notified. Levi W. Myers, United
States consul at Victoria. B. c.. tells
how twenty-five Cinnamon were un-
doubtedly smuggled into the United
States by the steamer North
Star, which has bad reputation. The
Cinnamon were taken on board the YES
sci very quietly about midnight, and,
although the Canadian collector had
men watching her, she slipped out of
the harbor in safety, and managed to
elude pursuing tug sent after her.
The price charged for this work is $40
per head. Mr. Myers says: "If this
practice is not stopped more cutters
must be placed on the sound, and spies
must be employed to aid the Canadian
authorities, who are, in my judgment,
working faithfully to break it up. They
say the laWlesSness that goes from this
side will come back in like manner
from the other side, and hence their
motive for breaking up the whole buSi-
ness. believe that large quantities Of
opium are smuggled from this port"
