L. M. BARRY'S Des Moines, la., Oct 8.—The report frotr. Washington that heartless evictions, rivaling tho brutalities in Ireland, aro in progress in O'Brien county, this state, has boon received with incredulity. A corrcspoi»ionl haa Just been favored with an interview with ono intelligent resident of O'Brion county, who confirms and makes worse the Washington statement. The lands by succession became the quasi property pf the Milwaukee and 8b Paul road, and Close Bros., now the Western Land company, took the road's interest Correspondence between Secretary Teller and Governor Sherman led the publio to belike that the lands were open to settlement, and 140 families, chiefly Scandinavians, sqnatted thereon.

Many details of brutality and harshness in the August evictions aro furnished, the most notable cases being those of the Peterson family, the Carr family, Mrs. Seott and Mr. Cooper. The O'Brien Kelator says the Finch family locked their doori against the intruders, but the doors aq£ win» ..(lows were broken in and tho members of the family were carried , out and compelled to spend the (light in the iD public road.

The run to Madison was charming. It was through a lake and hill country, whose lands are as iertile as thoso of Italy. The arrival was made upon time. Minneapolis, Oct. 8.—A handsome woman, with keen, dark eyes and a commanding figure is Mrs. Leonora Barry, of Amsterdam, N. Y., tho only general officer of tho Knights of Labor who is u lady. Mrs. Barry is the general investigator of the condition of working women, and she mado a somewhat startling report to the general assembly yesterday.

Order was quickly restored by the other members present, but a storm of recriminations Allowed, and threats of exposure were freely hurled at several members whoee reputations are by no means above reproach. Lately there has been a great deal of talk about these members in connection with deals similar to that of the Broadway railway in New York, and the conviction is rapidly growing that some of them will soon have to appear in court and throw light upon certain matters of public interest that have hitherto been kept in the dark. The board controls the whole of London outside of the city proper, and the field presented for operations of a shady character is practically unlimited. fully of success, bat sees hard times to come la Ireland. He stated that his refusal to be interviewed waa because he had but a limited time to go to the northwest and back ngain, and that his business there was not of a nature that conld be published in detail Just at present He did not care to give the exact programme that had been decided upon, but he referred enthusiastically to his meeting the representatives of America's organised army at workingmen at Minneapolis. "I Intend to jump into work for the oause of Ireland," he said, "w won as I arrive there. Then I expect to jump into prison. As I know not how long I may be allowed my liberty, I Intend to improve every moment I will exert every energy for our cause. The coming year is the trial year, and requires that the greatest work of our Uves shall be done. I believe that within that period the success or defeat of our movement will be determined. Personally, I believe that a victory awaits us. As tho train approached the depot a solute of tweuty-one guns was fired and the thousands ot waiting people cheered wildly. The President and Mrs. Cleveland entered a $1,400 landau, hitohed to a span of high spirited black horses, and the line of march was taken up according to programme. Many distinguished citizens of Wisconsin were in the procession, all partisanship being laid aside apparently. The presidential carriage reached the capitol a little after 9 o'clock. A platform had been raised in front of the building, upon which the formal welcome was tendered. The address of welcome was made by Chief Justice Cole, of the Wisconsin supreme court.

JUST THE PLACE TO.GET WHAT YOU NEED, WANT, AND MUST HAVE, AND TO HAVE THE There are some phases of Mrs. Barry's discoveries which are not touched upon in her formal report—some phases which Mr. Powderly says cannot fee read over before the audiences of men. There are stories of shame and -vice and degradation forced upon working girls who could not stretch their weekly pittsnoo so as to keep body and soul together. Much of what lbs. Barry lound is too revolting for her to tell, savo in general terms. Charges Hearer Borne. "We know yon at the seat of the national government through your fellow townsman, who haa done honor to his home and to his neighbors by a most successful and conscientious performance of important public duty, and who has earned as he has received the respect and oateem of every citizen who desires the welfare of his country. So our desire to actually see you and to know you better is trerfectly natural. It seemed to me when I planned the trip which we have undertaken that Madison would be a proper place at which to make our first stop for rest I have always observed that when a man wants to do something of this kind he can quite readily And a way to Justify it Bo, when I conceived the idea of staying'at Madison over Sunday and testing the kindness of her citisens and hospitality of the postmaster general, all I had to do was to imagine that we would be very much fatigued when we jwched here, and In need of the rest I was CSD'ii 11 lined we should have. Thus we are tare and tired enough to justify my plans." Upon the conclusion of the speechmaking 4ke president and his party entered tha 4»pltol building, the doors of which were closed behind them for a few minutes. During this time the members of the reception committee and their wives were presented to the president and Mrs. Cleveland In the office of Governor Rusk. The crowd outaide had in the meanwhile been Informed that its only chance to meet the president lay in the' possibility of organization of some kind, and while the suggestion was not acted upon unanimously, a minority of the multitude sought places in Una. The doors were then opened, and for about two hours the people poured in. Madison has a population of only about 18,000 or 14,000, but the surrounding country had sent In its thousands and the reception lacked for nothing in the way of nambara. New York, Oct 8—The action of the Jersey City board of finance and taxation in returning the payrolls of the board of public works to that body without approval haa caused muoh speculation in that city. An expert is examining the accounts of the board of public works, and it is alleged that when his work is finished a large deficiency will be found to exist, some reports placing it at between $100,000 and (300,000.

The reception accorded to Chairman Powderly when he entered was the hoartiest he has received during the week, and was takon as an indication tbat the personal features of his address bad created a reaction in his favor. lloston's Reception to Palna and Iturgeas "The condition of the Irish people is very poor. The crops and the harvest have been poor, and they have a hard winter before them. Next March will be an important month for us. Tho rent question will then come up. The people have no money, and I do not see how the rents can bo paid.

Boston, Oct 8.—The public recoption by the city to Gen. Paine, owner, and Edward Burgess, designer, of the yacht Volunteer was attonded by a crowd so numerous that before 0 o'clock last night Faneuil hall was filled to overflowing and many were unable to gain ontrance. Banners Inscribed "Puritan," "Mayflower" and "Volunteer" were displayed, and a floral yacht and cup rested upon the platform. General Secretary Litchman presented his report The number of members reported in good standing at the last session was 703,924, and the number of members In arrears 28,753. This made the apparent membership of the order, as then reported, 730,077. The tremendous growth in the early port of 1886 brought to the organization a mass of material that proved itself to be a weakness rathor than a strength. In spite of all the opposition since the Richmond convention the total number of members reported in good standing on July 1 is, in round numbers, 485,000. Add to this nearly 50,000 who are in arrears and the membership of the order would be 685,000 July 1, 1887. This would indicate an apparent deoroaso of about 195,000 members. The receipts for the fiscal year ending July 1, are (888,781, giving, with tho balance a grand total of $508,047.

The owner of the champion sloop was loudly cheerel as ho stepped forward. He returned his hearty thanks for the reception and said the gathering was proof of the great interest felt by the people in the competition for superiority in yachting. The Thistle, he said, was undoubtedly the best boat that had been sent to compete for tho America's cup. He had never underestimated her abilities. To have beaten such a vessel was a feat of which Capt Burgess should be proud as designer, and Capt. Half as the sailor, of the victor. The crow had done noble work. Hearty applause followed Gen. Palne's brief remarks.Mrs. Harper has been searching for her husband for four years, and gained a trace of him about a week agW through friends of Harper's at Tarrytown.

The meeting was adjourned to an adjacent hall, occupied by a club of Communists. William Morris, the poet, presided.

A man named Bartlett, of the Socialist league, moved a resolution protesting against the sentences passed upon the Chicago Anarchists. He was supported by several speakers. One, named Seymour, said that every Anarchist at the Chicago meeting ought to have thrown a bomb at the police, and ho hoped that all would do so if the sentences were carried out.
