HELENA, Jan. lathe situation in Hell
ena to-day has been one OF intense,

by the sending of the A. L. A. communi-
cation to the house. Nothing else mas
been discussed, though an air OF secrecy
is still maintained, and little open con-
yersation can be heard on tho subject.
One thing can safely be asserted, ana
that is that the nominations of the caucus
will be confirmed by open ballot at II
o'clock tomorrow, and it is doubtful III
the A. p. A. opposition will even receive
mention in the legislative bodies.
There is but one member who has
stated that ho will oppose the caucus
nomination, and his friends say to-night
that he has reconsidered his first de-
termination.
The members of the A. p. A. OF the
Silver Bow delegation have all resigned
from the A. p. A., some of them having
telegraphed their designations to butte
Tonight a committee of the A. Z. a.
from Butte, headed by President Caldwell

Butte Apas Rushing Around in Great
Excitement.

Butte Apas RushinE Arounu IN UteoN
Excitement.
BUTTE, Jan. 1.-THE American Pro-
tective association element of Butte, and
il is quite extensive, is violently agitated
over the caucus nomination OF Thomas
II. Carter for United States senator, and
a vigorous effort is under way to prevent
his election.
The movement here started on Satur-
day evening when the state president, >.
d. Caldwell, drafted an address to the
legislature warning the republicans in
mower not to vote for Romanist on the
penalty of political death.
The address, it is said, was presented
to the Butte lodges of the A. p. A. and
enthusiastically approved. committee
was appointed to take the address to
Helena and several hundred copies of it
were ordered printed.
The committee, including President
Caldwell, left for Helena this afternoon
with the address and the programme was
| that a copy should be placed on the
| desk of every member of the legislature
and and be read to the separate bodies
besides. The address in full is given in a
dispatch from Helena.
On Saturday and Sunday, while the
| matter was being discussed in A. z. n.
| circles, a number of Silver Bow repre-
sentatives were in town and were waited
upon by those opposed to Mr.. Carter and
we're urged to vote for some other man for
senator.
To-day it is very generally reported on
the streets that those of the Silver Bow
delegation in the legislature who were
members of the A. =. A. telegraphed from
Helena their designations as members oi
the order, with the evident intention oi
voting for the republican caucus nom
inee.
1t was apparent on the streets to-day
and tonight that there was some new de
velopment to increase the excitement
A special meeting of the 4. p. a. wa
called and was in session nearly all dal
and this evening.
The result was that n special train oil
the Montana Central was hired and lef'
for Helena at o'clock tonight with be
tween $50 and 200 a. p. AS. on board
The object of the trip is not announced
) but presumably it is to lend moral en-
couragement to the \. p. \. members o
! the legislature and to reason with thos
! who have sent in their designations.

 MT. Monihon's testimony was very damaging and at last the claimant ceased altogether to cross examine him.
 Another day will probably exhaust all the testimony in the case. The claimant himself is thoroughly dis heartered and the government au- thorities say that it is a foregone con- clusion, as much so as if the decision were already rendered, that the cloud which has been hanging over the rich. est part of Arizona will be wholly and forever dissipated within the coming week.

How the Famous Claimant Ap-

How the Famous Claimant Ap-
 peared on the Stand.
 The opening day in the great Peralta grant case was one of much interest When Reavis telegraphed for delay un- til the 10th inst, saying he would cer- tainly be in Santa Fe, the government attorneys did not believe he would come, as it would then be possible to compel him to go on the stand, when he would be compelled to perjure himself from the jump and he would become a victim of justice.
 General Johnson, knowing Reavis' strange infatuation for notorietv, his perseyering characteristics, his egotisti. cal conceits and his belief in his lucky star, won champagne galore betting on his presence on the 10th. Reavls promptly showed up and it became i'm mediately apparent that he was going to play the poverty act and appeal to the charity of the court, endeavoring to awaken a sympathy that would su b. serve his effort to obtain a continuance. On the morning of the 10th Reavis appeared before the court and in a snarling, incorporate speech denounced his enemies and demanded a contin. uance and afterward dismissal of his suit.
 The decision gave him twenty-fou1 hours to prepare his case and get things moving. It was surmised that he would not be willing to go on the stand hut he seemed much gratiied to be allowed the privilege of going on the stand when the court met on the morning of the l 11th,

A GREAT SHIP CANAL.
The Opening of a New
 Waterway.
Celebration in Honor of the Com pletion of the Baltic and

 BERLIN, June l5.-Public attention just now is wholly concentrated on the approaching fetes at Kiel in celebration of the opening of the Baltic and North Sea Canal, on Friday next, June 21. Twenty-two German war ships will be anchored in Kiel harbor. having on board Il ,OOO German sailors and on many foreign warships which will be there at the same time there will be 16,0 ,000 men in round mum bers.
 The United States squadron entered the harbor today, and on passing Fredericks fort it's guns saluted the German flag, which was flying from the fort and which returned the con- pliment. At the imperial banquet at Holteoan Emperor William will toast the United States Navy and the band will play Hail Columbia"
 In spite of official statements to the effect that the canal is safe and ready for navigation competent engineers who have inspected the new water way, ex- press the opinion that it is quite certain that the banks will cave in during the passage of the big war ships.

importance of the Council of the In~ dies archives has been the means of ex- acting the most precise handling of them. It was the first Waterloo of Reavis in the line of business. He was spotted from the start. He appeared merely as "James Addison" He was finally detected with the fabricated pa- per which he claimed to have gotten from the archives, although it was on table by him. He asked for certified copy of this paper but was informed It did not belong to the archives. The greatest excitement prevailed over the matter and he made himself scarce at Seville. Proceedings later on were brought against him there. When Reynolds approached this subject Reavis presented the appearance that is attributed to a victim of the rack in the the olden time: but the attorneys held him to the matter until Reagis grew desperate, his eyes flashed and his expressions were very vehement.
 It was required in this Seville ar- chiyes that each applicant, having ae- cess, should register his name. This was departure from all other archives and still Reavis could not recollect fav- ing signed his name. The legal spidec web was thus woven around the disturb CT of the land titles of southern Ari- zona, in manner that admitted of ns escape.
 Mir. Reynolds and Provost had care fully prepared the case. Mir. Reynoids' reputation as an examiner, already high. will be greatly enhanced. The report of Surveyor General Joknson. was in constant use and Reavis WAS on his mettle from beginning to end ia the hands of his unrelenting pre- secutors,

 NEW YORK, June 15.-Better than to- days weather could not have been de. sired for the running of the suburban at Sheepshead Bay. In spite of the fact that the suburban was supposed to be at the mercy of Domino and the starters only numbered six, there was as much interest as eyer in the race.
 At 4:O5 the horses cantered up past the grand stand to the starting post, but unlike former years there was very little enthusiasm. A few apDlauded Domino and Taral. and when Sir Wal ter and Doggett appeared there was considerable handclapping.

 Claims.
Special to THE REPUBLICAN.

Special to THE REPUBLICAN.
 SANTA FE, N. M., June l5.-The great Peraltareavis land grant case will prob- ably close next Monday. Today has been devoted entirely to the examina tion and cross-examination of Col. Jas. D. Monihon of Phenlx.
 Col. Monihon was perhaps better &C., quainted with the history of the alleged grant than anybody else. Some years before the claim was made he met Dr. G. Willing at Wickenburg. Willing told him of 8 floating grant" out of which fortune could be made. Mir. Monihon objected to the project on &C., count of the disorder it would create among settlers within the area of the proposed grant.
 Some time afterward, Mayor Moni- hon said, he met Reavis for the first time. Reavis, he believed, was a COT. respondent for a San Francisco news- paper. There was more talk about the grant, and it ended by the witness tell ing the claimant that he might be lynched if he continued to assert his al legged claim.
 "Did you not threaten to hang me?'' asked Reavis in cross-examinatiQn, en- deavoring evidently to show that the witness had felt bitterly toward him.
 "No, did not," replied MT. Moni- hon, "I only warned you of the conse- quences of the feeling that had sprung up. The people were aware that the

The Second Day.

On the second gay that James AC- dison Reavis resumed the witness chair in the land grant court, for five hours he was nailed to the cross, tortured with frebrands, surprised with fatal thrusts and finally left him and undoRe at the adjournment of court.
 When Reavis appeared in court on the second day, he had lost great deaz of the suave SIT characteristic at his entry into the witness chair. He look ed like a man who had passed baa night and to whom the world was pro ceeding in very unsatisfactory man. ner.
 When Reavis swore that he had never ffoated the grant south eight miles, he was asked whether he had not done this for the reason that he did not want to meet the strength of the ArizonE Canal Go. in litigation. Reavis noticed Surveyor General Johnson whispering to MT. Reynolds and became possessed of an untimely devil and said iIe be lieved he remem bered now that he had foated the grant south at the time ok the Powers weetern line of survey iR the early part of 'S3, bat that he did not do it Of his own voiition, but in de | ference to the desire and advice of Sur | veyor-General Johnson and others. This affair happened to occur befere Mr. Johnson was surveyor general, and the active mind Of Reavis saw his nit- fall. Like lightning the questions wece piled to him and finally he confessSa 1 he had never even talked to MT. John son on the subject on any occasion, and MT. Reynolds forced from Eeagis atea admission that he had perjured himseif being actuated by an uncomfortable de- sire to connect Mir. Johnson's nauie with the matter.
 The exhibition was actually pain ful the witness writhing under Reynolds examination of the amourE of money he had received from aH sources in connection with this granU- He swore positively that the aggregate was $G5, ,000 and no more. There max 1 flashed at him the question as to whether the Southern Pacific Co. had been interested in the grant. He coa- fessed it had been. Reynolds pumped 1 back win the question. how much actual cash did the Southern Pacific 1 Co. pay you?
 Answer-$50, ,000.

 And so on through the several coH- panies until about $130, ,000 had been se- knowledged.
 He was next asked whether in the latter part of 1885 he had written Sur veyor-General Johnson 8 letter, (which was at the moment Phoenix, Florence and other towns were wild with ex- citement over this grant, telling him he knew the man who had the op- portunity to secure the appointment e4 surveyor-genAral as his (Johnson's> sae- cessor, and that if Johnson would re- port his case he had influence enough to hold the matter of until the work could be done on the report, when Johnson would be taken care of, CT words conveying that meaning.

Reavis Takes the Stand.

When Reavls first took the stand the scene in the court was an impressive one. The jury seats were filled with ladies. The land court sat up on g high rostrum, and looked 8 most dignifed and learned court. The witness, Reavis, sat at the end~of long table directly in front of the rostrum. wearing leer- ing, cunning air on his face. Next to him, yard away, sat General Johnson watching Reavis intently and drinking In every word that came from the wit. ness. That famous PhHnician, ex- Mayor Monihon, sat by Johnson. Monihon by the way has made great reputation in New Mexico as narrator of the products and possibilities of the Salt River valley. It was feared at one time that he had destroyed his credit with the land court in story of nine- pound sweet potato. Continuing down the table were Matt. Reynolds, Mallet Provost, Tipton, Levi Hughes, and many other prominent representa- tives of the government in this famous trial for the possession of 4,500,000 acres of Arizona's fairest domain.
 Reavis took the stand in very smil- ing. insinuating way, begged pardon of the court for not addressing himself constantly to them, explaining in his Chesterfield way that he meant no dis courtesy. etc. Before he had been on the stand two hours he found that Attorney Matt. Reynolds had him snorting, cornered wit ness. Still, at noon time, he passed away the receas by telling amusing stories, to show his perfect possession of calm unruffied feelings, but when he again took the witness stand it was observable that he lacked the confi- denca of the morning. The most inn portant admissions of the day were that the reason he made the search abroad for further documents and papers was that he made up his mind there must be further evidence. When pushed by Reynolds as to whether it was not the report of Surveyor General Johnson that had been his real educator and started his new departure, he answered that he and his attorneys realized that the man who wrote that report knew Spanish law and he had got to comply and that he had faith he would find the archives all right. Later in the day he confessed that he lost faith in this claim about 1883, that is in the claim he presented through the Willing deed /; that he even then knew of his wife's ex. istence. and believed she had title. Still he afterwards admitted that he pressed the claim in himself until 1887 Admission after admission was forced out of him. He finally told about the burning of two railroad depots in Spain to destroy bis valuable evidence. which fortunately miraculouslv escaped, and he intimated to the court that be thought Surveyor General Johnson could possibly enlighten them on the subject. His testimony was bitter when he reached Johnson and Moni hon.

OeSperately Denied ,

Reavis swore positively that he haa never written such letter, and swoFe he would have remembered it, if Ike had done go. He was then made to swear that he had never urged actioa on his case before the surveyor general, on account of knowing it was fraud; and then under fire confessed that he remembered Surveyors Johnson did threaten to adversely report tho grant on the boundaries alone, if he pressed him to make a report be- fore he got ready in the matter.
