Commissioner Franklyn Says the French
Treated the Americans Handsomely.
WAsHINGToy, June l0.-Secretary Blaine
to-day transmitted to congress the official
report OF General Franklyn, United States
commissioner-general to the Paris ex-
position. General Franklyn says the
United States section received high praise
from the president OF the French repub-
lie, ministers who visited the exposition
officially and from the jurors. The gen.
eral appreciation of il is shown by the
large list of prizes, a large proportion Of
which were high ones, awarded. The
French authorities have beenvery generous
and the number Of decorations presented
TO the United State citizens was greater
than those given TO any other foreign ma
ton. This rs an evidence. not only Of the
kindly feeling that the French hold to-
wards the United States, but OF the high
appreciation of the French government
OF the exhibit of the United States.
The secretary of the treasury to-day
sent congress a supplemental estimate To
he inserted In the legislative executive
and judicial appropriations. The bill
asks for an appropriation Of $4,000 for
sixty-nine additional clerks, copyists, etc..
aud messengers in the general land office
and 5000 for rent for additional room for
the land office.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBED
The Deed Was Done In Arkansas This
Time..-1he Train Wrecked.
One Man Killed and Another Dam
gerously Wounded-Armed
Men Searching for
the Robbers.

TExARKANA. Ark. June 10.-The Texas
q Pacific train which left here last night
at midnight was robbed at "Four Mile
Junction" The switch was thrown and
the train wrecked. An unknown man
who was stealing ride was killad.
The express messenger resisted the rob
bers and was shot I'm the right hand and
ear. The robbers then went through the
express safe and made their escape.
The amount OF money and valuables
taken has not yet been learned.
A posse Of men has gone In pursuit.
The passengers and trainmen were
badly shaken up. when the train left the
track. The engineer and fireman had
scarcely recovered from the shock when
six shoaters and Winchesters were
rammed into their faces and they were
ordered to lead a march upon the express
car. The robbers had turned the switch
and caused the wreck. They entered the
express car and after q short resistance
through the safe securing, II is claimen,
less than 500. After they had gone through
this car, the robbers marched the engi-
neer and fireman and messenger about
100 yards from the track, seated them on
log and told them to stay there with
their eyes shut for one hour.
When the bandits had gone distance
Of about so yards they turned and fired O
volley at the men on the log. The mes.
senRer was shot through the left hand; an
other shot pierced his ear. The robbers
then disappeared.
Ii required but short time To
notify the officers here who are
now in pursuit of the bapdits. One
party has been arrested, but not fully
identified.
Yesterday afternoon $4,000 was taken
from the Southern Express Office to the
depot and sent north. 1t is supposed that
the robbers thought the money was going
south.
Great excitement prevails on account
of the robbery. Within the last few years
several robberies have been perpetrated
within radius of 100 miles OF here. The
people here are exasperated and IL the
guilty parties are caught Judge Lynch will
save court expenses.

To survey Montana : PubIic Lands.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The speaker
to-day laid before the house communi-
cation from the secretary of the interior.
submitting an estimate for the increase
of $4,000 i'm the appropriation for the sur
vey Of public lands for the fiscal year of
1880 to he applied to the expenses OF sur
veys of public lands In Montana.
This afternoon while a private bill was
pending before the house for the relief of
II. e. Kirk and others. which had been
vigorously opposed by Springer of I'LL
nois, the representative had occasion 10
pass out of the hall, and at the doorway
was confronted by Kirk, who demanded
10 be informed why he opposed the bill.
Springer replied that he opposed the bill
because he believed Il TO be an improper
measure. Kirk retorted in an insinuating
manner that he knew the real reason OF
the opposition. He refused To say what il
was. Springer became indignant and
told Kirk that if he insinuated any I'M.
proper motives he would have him
brought before the bar of the house for
contempt. Kirk subsidized, and Springer
returned to the house and helped defeat
the bill.

The TVVn Of Channaton, ILL.,, Said to
Be Destroyed.
Fears of Great Loss Of Life and
Pr9perty-Physicia Leave
Joliet for the Scene of
the Disaster.

JOLIET, ILL.,, June ia funnel-shapcd
cloud passed through the village of Chan
nabon at . o'clock tonight, doing i'm
mense damage, killing and injuring, il is
understood, quite n number of people.
Channahon is a town of about 1000 per-
sons, nine miles south Of Joliet, with no
railroad or telegraph facilities. A large
strip OF country is devastated. Reports
indicate list Of killed aud wounded very
large. Surgeons were sent from here to
relieve their stiiferings. From meager
information at hand il seems the most
damage was in the country around Chan
nahon, and that the majority of the cas-
ualties are outside of the town. Although
the place is not far from here. there is
little hope Of getting anything from there,
owing To the bad condition of roads.
While II Is believed the report $50 far re-
ceived are exaggerated the belief is pre-
valent that a great disaster has occurred.
At 2 n. m. nothing has been heard from
parties who left here for Channahon.

ST. PAUL. Minn., June 1O.-To-morrow
at Aberdeen, South Dakota. the demo-
Gratis will hold state convention to NOM
nate the first party ticket in what prom
ises to he one of the most exciting and
uncertain elections ever held in any one
sided state. Last October the vote for
governor of South Dakota was, republi-
can So, ,964, democratic 2i,9i0, and that was
a warmly contested campaign. However,
there are factors in this years battle
which have been absent heretofore. Last
week the farmers alliance, in convention
at Huron. organized an independent
party, and called convention To meet on
July TO nominate state and congress
sional ticket. II is claimed by the farm
ers' alliance that their membership cx-
ceeds 10000, most OF whom the leaders
expect to carry with them To the new
party. II is generally acknowledged that
most of these will come from the repub-
lican party. in which case the present po-
litical status Of South Dakota may he ma
terially changed.

A GRAVE. STORY
About a Man who Was Said to Have
Rapped on the Inside OF His CONN.

About a Man who Was Said to Have
Raped on the Inside Of His Comm
CHICAGO. June 10.-An evening paper
publishes a lengthy and sensational ac-
count of the death and alleged interment
alive of Gu.tave Cantor, which, when
brought down to n statement of facts,
seems merely suspicious case.
The story was first told by workman
named John Stier, who said that on Feb
ruary % last, when passing Ridge Lawn
him in. Miller was filling in a new grave
and told Stier he believed that the man in
the coffin was alive. They listened and
heard sounds which, Stier claims, sound
ed as il made by some one rapping OH the
inside of the coffin. Miller, however,
commenced to fill i'm the grave and water
also ran in. covering the coffin, and the
sounds ceased.
Stier says TINT Superintendent Miller
subsequently, told him he opened the
grave later on and found the body dis
torted and every evidence that death had
occurred after interment.
Superintendent Miller. when questioned
by reporter, said that when burying
Canter he did hear noises. but on taking
off the lid of the coffin found the man was
Enthusiastically dead.
After replacing the coffin lid he saw
Stiers passing, and thought II would he n
good joke to scare him. which he did. He
subsequently clinched the story by telling
of the alleged exhumation. The noises in
the grave. he now thinks, were caused by
water running i'm around the coffin.
Al the hospital. to-day. il was stated
that Canter died of heart disease, and the
physicians scout the idea that he slbse-
quently survived.
