The North American TunerbuDd Favors
the Chandler EIll.
WASHINGTON, June 25.--The commit
tee appointed by the convention of the
North American Turnerbund, in session
in this city, appeared before the joint
congressional committee on immigra-
ton in connection with the enact
ment of new immigration law.
Hugo Muench, of st. Louis, president
of the Turnerbund, presented resolu-
tons adopted by the convention in eff
feet that the present immigration law,
under which the bureau of immigration
was established, was satisfactory, and
that there was no necessity for the
enactment of such measures as
those introduced by Senator Quay and
Representative Stone, of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Muench made an argument against
those two measures, but spoke in favor
of the Chandler bill, which places tho
responsibility for bringing undesirable
immigrants to America on the steam
ship companies, and provides penalties
to compel these companies to carry out
the law.
F. Scherer. of New Ulm, Mimi. and
G. w. Spier of Washington. also made
some remarks on the subject. Mr.. Spier
being particularly emphatic in his in
dorsement of the Chandler bill.

In 1850 Mr.. Stevenson went back tor
Kentucky, where he settled in Wood
ford county, and in 1861 was elected
master in chancery. which position
he held with great fidelity until 1865.
when the people. in recognition of his.
conspicuous services and personal
worth, elected him state attorney for the
Twenty-third judicial district. This
office he filled with distinguished abili-
ty during four years of as troublous
times as Kentucky ever saw, endearing
himself even to those against whom he
proceeded. In 1864 he was a candidate
for presidential clector on the McClel-
land ticket, and stumped the state for
the candidate.
But Mr.. Stevenson was not destined
to remain kentuckian. Early in 1869
he returned to Bloomington, H., and
resumed the practice of law. In 1874
he was elected n representative from
Illinois to the Fourtyfourth congress,
where he served with distinction and
ranked at once among the democratic
leaders of that body. In 1877 he was a
members of the board of visitors to the
West Point military academy.
In 1878 Mr.. Stevenson was elected Il
representative to the Forty-sixth con-
gress, and in 1882 was returned to the
Forty-eighth congress His three terms
in the national house of representatives
were characterized by careful attention
to public business. In fact his official
career SO commended him as faithful,
honest, determined servant of the peo-
pie that in July, 1855, Mr.. Stevenson
was appointed by President Cleveland
as first assistant postmaster general, a
position which he filled with satisfac-
ton to the administration.

highly complimented the president. In
the course of his remarks Gov. McKin-
ley said:
We need hardly assure you OF the pleasure IL
gives to convey this message from the re-
publicans Of the country to their chosen leader.
Your nomination was but the registering by
the convention of the will of the majority of
the republicans of the United States, and has
been received in every quarter with profound
satisfaction.
After one of the most careful, successful anil
brilliant administrations in our history, yod
receive a denomination, furnishing an approx al
of your work which must bring to you the
keenest satisfaction. The difficult and
barrassng questions which confronted
your administration have been met
with an ability. fidelity to duty and
with a lofty patriotism which fill the
American hearts with glowing pride. Your do
nestle policy has been wise. broad and states
manlike; your foreign policy firm, just and
truly American. These have won the common
dation of the thoughtful and conservative and
the confidence of your country, irrespective of
party, and will we believe, insure your trium-
plant election in November.
In conclusion, we desire to extend to you our
personal congratulations and to express our
qualification at the rare honor paid by re-
nomination. with firm faith that the destinies
of this great people will be confded to your
care and keeping for another four years.
The president bowed slightly. and in a
very clear and natural tone read his re-
ply, accepting the nomination, as fol-

A DAMAGING STORM.
The Destruction In and Out of Chicago
Beginning to be Compounded.

The Destruction In and Out of Chicago
beginning to be Comprehended.
CHICAGO. June 25.-The damage
wrought by the storm Thursday and
Thursday night is much worse than al
first supposed. Over three inches Oh
rain fell in Chicago and the immediate
vicinity. Sewers were burst and the
dirty water flooded the Easements of
the downtown stores. Fire engines
were called into service to pump out
the water. The damage to the stock in
the various stores will foot up $3.50. 00O
The Chicago river rose rapidly and all
traffic in the harbor had to be sus-
pended as the current was 80 strong
that the tug boats could do nothing.
One of the worst lectures was the dam
age to streets. over thirty-five miles OF
which are left in a terrible condition.
1t is estimated that s35, 900 will be re-
quires to place them in condition.
The telephone service suffered con-
siderably. and large gangs Of men were
busy all day untangling the wires.
Outside the city the damage was Sc
we're. Railroads were washed out and
traffic was practically suspended on all
roads. Many mails did not arrive until
late last night. Just how much damage
has been done to crops is not easy to
estimate. The general report is that
wheat and oats have suffered by the
storm, but corn has been but little af-
fected As harvesting is IN progress
the heavy rains VIII delay it. 4 special
dispatch says that grain IS badly lodged
for twenty-five miles on both sides of
the Mississippi.
A cyclone at Harvey. ILL.,. blew down
a dozen houses and injured a mum Der of
people. but thus far no deaths have
been reported.

AN UNPOPULAR EXECUTION.
Cavalryman Clinton T.. Dixon Hanged at
Omaha Yesterday.


OMAHA. Ncb.. June 25.-Clinton T..
Dixon. Il cavalryman, was hanged here
yesterday morning for the murder of
Corporal Carter. at Fort Niobrara. The
federal authorities misled morbidlv
curious people by having the execution
Ave hours ahead of the time announced.
Dixon was intoxicated when he shot
Carter and was melted to the act by a
colorcd courtesan whom Carter. acting
under orders to clear the camp of such
characters, had spanked with plank
when she refused TO go. Dixon has
been three times reprieved because
dates set for his execution fell on holt
days or conveD ton dates. The senti-
meat against hanging was so strong
that the marshal provided three cleo
trio buttons each being touched by a
different person that none should
know who sprung the trap.
