To-day Pittsburg welcomes 'within her
pates the distinguished representatives of a
sturdy and patriotic race the delegates to
the Scotch-Irish Congress. Many of them
have already arrived, and to-day Governor
Beaver and Mayor Gourley 'will formally,
tut warmly, receive them. President Har
rison is expected to be present, arrange
ments for a special train from Cleveland to
Pittsburg for his benefit having been made.
The second great Scotch-Irish Congress
of America will be called to order at 10
o'clock this morning in Mechanical Hall.
The prospects for a snecessful gathering of
this illustrious race are bright.
All day yesterday delegates arrived from
the Horth, South, East and "West, and at
an early hour last night the hotels were 'well
filled with representatives of a race who
claim the distinction of being as prompt and

The arrivals included such well-known
people as Robert Bonner, of the Hew York

"Wash., and about 100 others.
The programme for to-day was not ar
ranged until late last night, and it was then
made subject to changes to suit the neces
sities of the occasion. The opening prayer
will be offered by Rev. I. H. Hays, D. D.

respectively, and President Bonner will
respond. Hon. "W. C. P. Breckenridge, the
rioted Southern orator, was to have delivered
an address at this morning's session, but he
telegraphed yesterday saying he could not
get here until to-morrow. Dr. J. S. Mac
intosh will be substituted.
Music and Uontlne.
Tbe report of the Executive Committee,
which was completed at a meeting last
night, will be read, and the remainder of
the session will be taken vp with music and
announcement of committees.
There will be no afternoon session, as the
local committee has selected this time to
take the visiting delegations around to the
various points of interest. In the evening
A. L. Perry, professor of political economy
and history in the "Williamstown, Mass.
College, and Dr. D. C. Kelly, the great
Southern Methodist divine, will deliver
addresses. Bath gentlemen are versed on
the achievements of the Scotch-Irish race,
and are able orators. Music by the pupils
of one of the city female colleges and short
addresses will make up the remainder of the
evening programme.
Pittsburg has seldom seen such a distin
guished gathering as will grace the city for
the next four days. There will possibly not
be as large a gathering as was at first ex
pected, owing to various hindrances in dif
ferent parts of the country. But delegates
are here from all points in the country from
Maine to California and from Canada to
Florida.
A Representative Gathering.
A noticeable feature is that the congress
is composed of representative men men
known, in their various professions, through
out the country; men who have given the
Invaluable aid of advice, time and means to
many measures, which, being carried into
effect, have resulted in public good.

interesting character. His long, flowing
white hair add much to his distinguished
appearance. He is very deaf, but he still
delights to tell of the days when he was in
Congress, and took great pleasure in twist

here as the guest of Mr. Bonner, and will

gress. Sunny Cnllrornla'i Delegate.
Hon. Alexander Montgomery is the
founder of the California Society. He was
afraid yesterday that he would be the only
representative present from his State, but
he was expecting his secretary, who went
East ahead of him, as far as Hew York.
Even in California this sturdy race has
taken a strong foothold, and Mr. Mont
gomery says that some of the most influen
tial people along the coast are Scotch-Irish.
They immigrated across the country in the
exciting.days of 1849, when the gold fever
had taken possession of the multitudes.
In the Hew York delegation that arrived
last evening, besides President Bonner and
ex-Congressman Robinson, were Be v. Dr.
John Hall, the noted Hew York divine,
and Pror. Perry, of "Williams College. They
were met at the depot by Colonel Echols
and escorted to the Monongahela House in
carriages. Prof. Perry has written a num
ber of works on political economy, and is
one of the best authorities on economic
questions in the country.
IlarrUon In Still Expected.
It is still thought that President Harrison
will be here. Secretary Halford, in his let
ter to Mayor Gourley, said that the present
arrangement with the railroads is to leave
Cleveland to-morrow evening at 10 o'clock,
in which event be would not be able to stop
in the city en route from Cleveland home.
This does not mean that President Harrison
will not be here, as he did not know when
he made that reply that arrangements "were
being made by Superintendent Pit
cairn and the local committee to
have a special train leave Cleveland
whenever it would suit best. Mayor Gour
ley, Chairman Hamilton, of the Citizens'
Committee, and Colonel J. "W, Echols
will meet the President to-day as
he passes through on his way to Cleve
land, and will, if possible, secure his prom
ise to stop here on Saturday on his way
home.
Ho further effort will be made to secure
the presence of Secretary Blaine as he has
written that a previous engagement will
prevent his coming.

Mecklenburg Declaration.
One of the most distinguished looking
men in the Southern delegation to the
Scotch-Irish Congress is Colonel "William
Johnston, of Charlotte, Horth Carolina.
He and A. F. Brevard represent the Horth
Carolina society, and they are stopping at
the Anderson.
Colonel Johnston is an old man, probably
over 80 years of nge, and is one of the last
of tbe Clay and Calhoun style of men that,
alas, are fast fading awayiu the South. He
was a member of the Secession Congress,
and in his day has built 200 miles of rail
road. "When the war broke nnf h .
President of a road in Horth Carolina, which
was swept away, but after the war he rebuilt
it He lost about 8100,000 through the war
but with true Scotch-Irish peninacy has rel
gained his fortune. Said the Colonel last
night:
Scotch-Irish in tbo South.
I want to say that next to Pennsylvania
North Carolina has more Scotch-Irish people in
its borders in proportion to nomilitinn thn
any other State in the Union. The early set
tlers migrated from York, Lancaster and Ches
ter counties in this Stata down through the
beautiful valley of the Shenandoah, and at
Staunton, reaching the mountains, wandered
down along the rivers into North Carolina, and
then continued farther south. I live in Meck
lenburg county, which borders on the State
line. Just across the line In South Carolina
are the counties of .Lancaster, York and Ches
ter, showing that the people adopted tbe old
names that they had used in Pennsylvania.
Along with tbe Scotch-Irish in parallel lines
a German element migrated through the same
county, bnt the two classes of people seldom
intermarried, and in North Carolina to-day we1
have the striking example of one-half of a
country composed of Scotch-Irish and tbe
other half is pooulated by Germans.
The Scotch-Irish settlers were good judges of
land, and ther invariably located in th hnu
toms along the rivers. The result is that in
wins iun uio mcio. o.uo icauit is mat in I
timehey became very wealthy, and I don't be. I
lleve a race of people has accomplished mora
than they, unless we except the Hebrews. In
ray State they have figured prominently In
State affairs, and daring tbe Revolution dis
played that wonderful backbone lor which
they are noted.
The Original Declaration.
In fact, a year or so berore Thomas Jefferson
wrote the Declaration of Independence, a
series of resolutions was adopted by the
patriots of Mecklenburg county, declaring
themselves Independent of Great Britain.
Borne of the language in Jefferson's document
is so similar to tbe .Mecklenburg declaration
that in 1819 Jefferson came out andpronouncea
the North Carolina paper spurious, but the
Legislature of the State in later years proved
its authenticity.
Colonel Johnston said that the great
problem in the South was what to do with
the colored people. The whites will never
consent to be dominated hf the blacks.
They had such an experience once, and they
never want another.
Speaking of the late war, he said he had
always opposed it until he found it was
useless to continue his opposition, and then
he allied himself with the Confederates. He
had hoped that the States arrayed against
each other would have negotiated for a
settlement rather than attempt subjugation.
AN ALABAMA DELEGATE
SAYS THAT THE RACE PROBLEM DOMI
NATES SOUTHERN POLITICS.
The One Question Which Keeps the Demo
cratic Party Solid Effects of the Farm
ers' Alliance Scotch-Irishmen Slrongln
Alabama.
Another eminent Scotch-Irishman from
the South is Dr. J. H. Bryson, of Hunts
ville, Ala., for many years Moderator of the
Southern branch of the Presbyterian
Church. He said that there were a number
of Scotch-Irish in his State, but the society
having been recently organized contained
only about 60 members.
The Scotch-Irish in Southern Alabama
migrated from South Carolina, while the
representatives in the northern part of the
State came from Virginia and Horth Car
olina. It was the same old stock that wan
dered from tbe eastern counties of Pennsyl
vania down through the Shenandoah Valley.
Turning the subject to politics, Dr.
Bryson said:
The Farmers' Gigantic Trust.
Tbe Democrats meet to-day in Alabama to
nominate a candidate f or G overnor. It will be
one of the fiercest, hottest contests ever
fongbt in the State, and will test the strength
ot
toe farmers- Alliance, which now prac-
tically dominates the State. 1 don't like it
because, first, it is a secret society, and I hate
secrecy. I told some of them tbatit was the
most stupendous trust I ever beard of. Tbey
are opposed to national banks.and will not admit
any man connected with these institutions.
The line also is drawn on lawyers. One of their
schemes is to have tbe Government establish
large granaries in all parts of tbe country
where the farmers can deposit their grain and
have currency Issued to them for it to the ex
tent of 8) per cent of Its value. This alliance is
making a desperate effort to increase its
strength, and I think tbe result will be that the
colored people will get into power again.
By the way, the colored problem is the great
est that faces the country. The Democracy of
tbe South is not solid against the North, but
against the rnle of the colored people.
The Whim Race Bluit Dominate.
A white man will never be ruled by a colored
one. This is a race question. We haven't
anything against the Cegro personally, and we
spend S160.UOO every year to educate bim. Of
this amount he doesn't contribute 5,000. I
notice that tbe education is only increasing the
prejudices, and what will be the outcome C
don't know. I wouldn't keep them in ignor
ance as a solution of tbe problem. That would
not be right. But I have no remedy for the
evil to offer. If tbe negro was not in the South,
you would see us split up on the tariff and a
number of other questions, but at present tbe
colored man is such a menace that we are com
pelled by cirrgvstanecs to sun i united. This
is tne reason, why we are Democrats. The col
ored race is constantly increasing, and tbe
time is coming when the Government will
have to face the issue. Those will be perilous
times, but all we can do now is for each man
to be wise In bi3 generation.
Colonel Johnston also spoke ot the colored
race in a similar strain.
R0BEBT BONNER TALKS.
Be Thinks the Scotch-Irish Have a Perfect
Right to Celebrate.
Mr. Robert Bonner was interviewed last
evening. Mr. Bonner is a gentleman or
about G5 years of age, short of stature and
somewhat gray-haired. In answer to some
questions Mr. Bonner said:
Yes; I am aware that a great deal of odium
has been cast nn the Scotch-Irixh; but I don't
think that any of it has stuck. Tbe celebration
of the Scotch-Irish celebration is not the cele
bration of a foreign nation, it is merely a tri
bute to the race from which we spring. There
is no use denying that America contains very
many distinct races whicb it will take years to
assimilate. We cannot blame these races for
honoring their desent The Puritans are not
slow in vannting of their ancestry. Tbe
Knickerbocker club in New York is a memorial
to a race. Tbe pure blooded Irish celebrate
St. Patrick's Day. Then why shall the Scotch
Irish, who deserve as much latitude as any of
these people, not celebrato the deeds and
worth of their sturdy sires T

rSFSCIJlX. TXXEQBAJt TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Bibminoham, Ala, May 28. A serious
race war is threatened at Six Mile, a small
town in Bibb county. SO miles southwest of
this city. Yesterday four young ladies
were walking along the principal
street of the town when they were
met bv three negro women, Dora
Carter, Tillie Belcher and Manay Johnson.
The sidewalk was narrow, and both parties
refused to make any room. The negro
women then pushed the white women into
the street, at the same time applying a num
ber of vile epithets.
Last night a party of white men went
to the bouses of the' three negro women and,
dragging them from bed in their night
clothes, gave them a terrible flogging. One
of the women was beaten into insensibility
and all of them were whipped in a brutal
manner. This created great excitement
among the negroes of the town, and at au
early hour this morning negro men began to
assemble on the streets and talk the matter
over, at the same time threatening ven
geance against the whites. They soon be
came demonstrative, and the whites grew
alarmed and began to arm themselves. The
negroes were ordered to disperse, but showed
no inclination to do so until they were at
tacked by tbe whites and driven off the
streets by force. Many of them showed
fight, and for a time a bloody riot was
threatened, but the negroes being outnum
bered and poorly armed drew off to wait for
reinforcements.
All the negroes for ten miles around the
town are gathering in the vicinity of Six
Mile, and they have telegraphed several
orders lor guns and ammunition to this citv.
They are much excited and threaten to burn
the town and kill every white man who at
tacks them. The town is guarded by
200 well ar,med men, who will kill
every negro who attempts to make
trouble. Latest reports from tbe town say
the negroes are receiving guns and pistols,
and a conflict is expected before morning.
The negroes are congregated in large num
bers near the town, and it is thought they
will make an attack to-night. The men
who cowhided the three negro women, it is
stated, wore masks, and the dispatches from
there do not give their names.

SPEAKER BEED .CLOSES THE-BAR
Which Has Been in Full Operation From
Time Immemorial.
THE SENATE STAND IS STILL OPEN.
Conidera.le Cariosity is to the Policy of Tiee Pret!-
dent Morton.
Speaker Reed introduced another innova
tion yesterday when he closed the bar at
which liquors were dispensed to members of
the House. The Congressmen were forced
to cross over to the Senate end to secure
liquid refreshments. An effort will be made
to close this place also.
rTBOH A BTJLTT COBRZSFOXSEXT.l
Washington, May 2a The sensation
of the day at the Capitol was the order of
Speaker Reed, issued about 12 o'clock, clos
ing the restaurant of the House of Repre
sentatives against the sale of liquor. It is a
custom so old that the memory of man run
neth not to the contrary to sell all kinds of
drinks at the restaurant ot the House and
Senate. There was never any restriction
about it.
The necessities of the members of the two
branches of Congress made it imperative
that there should be no beating about the
bush in the sale of liquid inspiration, and
therefore each of the restaurants has been a
public bar, where the only attempt at con
cealment at any time was the serving of
whisky and brandy in teacups with sau
cers, and when it was the proper caper to
order such drinks by calling for "cold
tea."
EEED A SUDDEN' CONVERT.
Recently there has been some agitation by
the temperance people of the subject ot this
open sale, without even the pretense ot a
license, and there has been some very plain
talk even from many who are very liberal
in their opinions on this vexing topic. Ho
attention was paid to this public sentiment.
The whole question was igDOred. Hone of
the former Speakers of the House dared to
suggest a change from the old custom, which
Was upheld by men who thought it was no
crime to step up to a bar and take a drink
of anything that suited their fancy.
Persons who were loud in their advocacy
of prohibition when at home, winked at the
infraction of the general law in the unre
stricted sale of liquor in the House and Sen
ate restaurants. Speaker Reed went home
a few days ago, having the same opinion ot
the restaurants that he had always had, but1
something caused him to come back one of
the most autocratic of reformers, and with
his advent at the Capitol to-day came bis
order for tbe cessation of the sale of drinks
at the House restaurant.
A MAINE MAN BENEFITED.
Of course, it was ah order that was at
once obeyed, and the members who have
been accustomed to take a little toddy pre
vious to lnduigingn a swell breaklast were
astounded on repairing to tbe restaurant to
find that a little red wine with luncheon or
dinner was the extent of the sale of liquor
at that place. The. consequence was that-:
members of the House who have been a
customed to take their drink at leisure were
forced to-day to take a walk over to the
Senate restaurant, which, by a strange co
incidence, is kept by Mr. Page, from the
State of Maine.
It is quite possible that the Speaker was
not aware of this fact at all, but it has been
made the basis far a great deal of joking
and rallying of the Speaker to the effect
that he closed the House rsstaurant against
tbe sale of liquor in the interest of a Maine
constituent, who sells drinks at the other
end of the Capitol. It is also true that tbe
proprietor of the Congressional Hotel, a
noted place situated oh the edge of tbe Cap
itol grounds, was one of the leading spirits
in agitating the prohibition of the sale of
liquor at the restaurant of the Capitol.
NOT A SERIOUS ACCUSATION.
OT course the Speaker is not seriously
accused of acting for the benefit of any of
these interested people, but the situation
makes him the subject of a great deal of
pleasant raillery, which he endures with the
sense of humor which pervades all that he
thinks and says. General public sentiment
is with him. It has always been considered
a disgrace that bars should be run openly in
the Capitol building of the country without
license, the managers getting their places
rent free, and the rooms being furnished at
the expense of the public purse.
The question now is whether the Presi
dent of the Senate will follow the lead of
the Speaker of the House, or whether, by
his liberality, the proprietor oi the
Senate restaurant will have a mo
nopoly of the sale of liquor within
the precincts of the Capitol. As Mr. Mor
ton, the Vice President and the presiding
officer of tbe Senate, allows a bar at the new
hotel recently finished by him, it is thought
that it would be hardly consistent for him
to shut up the bar at tbe senate.
In view of the fact, however, that the
Senate is about to pronounce on the ques
tion of permitting the various States to con
trol the sale of liquor in "original pack
ages," it is hoped by the temperance advo
vates that some stand mny be taken by com
mittee or in the Senate at large which will
stop the conduct of a bar in the restaurant
and thus break up the sale of liquor as an
intoxicating beverage at the Capitol.

"Washington, May 28. Major McKin
ley left for Cleveland with President Har
rison to-night firm in the conviction that
the little surprise which he and Senator
Sherman so adroitly prepared and
executed upon Senators Allison, Aldrich,
Hiscock and Jones, of the Senate
Finance Committee, had saved his pet tariff
bill from annihilation. It is reported on
trustworthy authority that when Major Mc
Kinley was informed of tbe action of the
Senate committee in deciding that the lull
committee must consider the tariff bill he
exclaimed: ""Well, that's the end of Alli
son and that measly sub-committee."
Major McKinley and his friends, have all
along felt that Senators Allison and
Aldrich and their coterie in the Senate were
in favor of emasculating his bill, which he
so cleverly put through the House, and he
-can well afford to laugh at their discomfit
ure when tbey find themselves so
effectually checkmated. Senator Sher
man, however, no doubt realizes
that he is in something of a
predicament. He finds himself allied to
the five Democrats on the Finance Commit
tee, which is not a very pleasant situation
for him. He refused absolutely to-day to
Bay a word about the rupture in the com
mittee, and said that he had not heard of
any unusual action having been taken
herein. Senator Sherman is one of those
Senators, so few in number, who will not
speak of what takes place in the committee
room except when it suits their convenience
to do so. It is well known, however, that
he and Major McKinley had an understand
ing before tbe proposition was broached for
the discussion of the McKinley bill in the
committee.
It is reported that the real reason of the
discomfiture of this sub-committee is that
they had prepared a complete substitute for
the McKinley bill, which was to be known
as the Allison bill. There was much talk
in the Senate chamber to-day about the
gloomy outlook for the passage of the tariff
bill caused by the action of the Finance
Committee, and it appears that a majority
of the Senators think Mr. Sherman made an
unwise move.

rSPECTAL TELIQRAM TO THE DISrATCH.1
"Washington, May 28. The order issued
by Superintendent of the Census Porter to
enumerators telling them that they have no
power to compel citizens to answer questions
put to them is regarded by Congressmen
generally as meaning that the department
has backed down in the controversy, and
that it is not necessary, therefore, for any
action to be taken by Congress to instruct
the enumerators as to their duty and privil-.
eges. ah enorts, tnerefore, to secure the
passage of a restricting resolution in Con
gress have been abandoned. Superintend
ent Porter is out in a long interview to-day
in which he attempts to counteract the
effects of the universal protest that
is going from all parts of the
United 8tates. In the interview Mr.
Porter makes no new point, simply saying
that Congress ordered the questions to be
asked; that they have been asked by enu
merators in previous censuses; that they
are a part of the inquiry made in foreign
countries, and that the statistics requested
are of vital importance to the medical pt-o-fession.
Hot content, however, with rjointini? ont
the fact that Congress commands him to
collect these statistics, Mr. Porter defends
the obnoxious questions as being eminently
necessary and proper. Representative Mc
Adoo, who has been the champion of the
opposition in Congress, says that he is in
clined to let the whole matter drop now, as
Mr.Porter's supplemental instructions issued
to-day renders any further' action unnec
essary. BOUND FOR CLEVELAND.

POSSIBLY ANOTflEE BEHWELL CASE.
Wealthy EeUtires in England Will Push the Investi
gation to the End.
'Thomas Kimber, a wealthy youngEnglish
man, disappeared from Montreal in April.
His body was found in the city reservoir
yesterday. The coroner's jury decided that
it was a suicide, but all the evidence points
to a murder. The case is very similar to the
famous Benwell tragedy.
ISPrCIxl. TELEGRAM TO THE SISFATCS.1
Monteeal, May 28. The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Thomas
Kimber, the- young Englishman who van
ished from this city in the middle of April,
has been solved by the discovery of his body
to-day in the city reservoir. The case,
which is believed to be another Benwell
case, has been the talk of.the whole country
for months, acd the finding of Kimber's
body has created a great sensation.
Kimber arrived from Topsbam, Exeter,
England, where his parents, who are well-to-do
people, reside, by the Dominion line
steamer Sarnia, on April 11 last. He took
up his quarters with thre'e companions,
whom it is supposed he met on the voyage,
at the Grand Central Hotel, a second-class
house near the Grand Trunk depot.
A SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE.
After a heavy spree he suddenly disap
peared from the hotel. "When the door of
his room was forced open, the floor and fur
niture were fonnd bespattered with blood,
and a razor covered with hair and blood
and a number ot bloody handkerchiefs were
discovered. For some unexplained reason
his disappearance was kept a secret by tbe
proprietor of the hotel for a couple of
weeks, when it became known, and the
whole detective force of the city was em
ployed in the case.
Kimber's father, who is aj prosperous
merchant at Topsbam, England, communi
cpted with the Dominion Government
through Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian
High Commissioner, and Major Sherwood,
chief of the secret service, was also em
ployed on the case. The efforts of the de
tectives to discover a clew to the mystery
proved utterly futile, and Kimber's fate
would probably have continued to be a mys
tery for some time longer had not an acci
dent resulted in the discovery of the body
to-day.
Montreal draws its water supply from
two large reservoirs. One, known as the
High Level Reservoir, is situated at the base
of Mount Royal. Passing- to his work at
an early hour this morning Antoine Berri
chon, a stonemason, crossed over the Moun
tain park by the side of this reservoir.
MAKKS OP VIOLENCE.
Suddenly his gaze was attracted by some
thing white and unusual in the water, and
the next instant a human head came into
view. Berrichon, who knew nothing of the
Kimber mystery, called to a park police
eSSX fua.theyxemoTed the body from the
reservoir. The body was iu on advanced
state ot decomposition, but marks of vjq.encs
were plainly discernible. There were three
cuts in the left side of the neck, besides a
long, deep cut across the throat. A towel
marked "T. Styles" was wrapped tiehtlv
aruuuu tne ucck, anu lurnunea tne Clew 10
the mystery.
On the body being examined at the
morgue three large stones weighing from six
to eight pounds each were found in tbe coat
pockets. Kimber is supposed to have had
considerable money when he disappeared,
but all that was found on his person was 15
cents in change. On his flannel undershirt
was worked "T. S. Kimber." A flagrant in
stance ot the loose manner in which investi
gations are conducted in such cases was sup
plied after the finding of the body.
Ho sooner bad the remains been removed to
the morgue than a jury was sworn in, and
after several witnesses had been examined a
verdict that the deceased had committed
suicide was returned without an autopsy be
ing held on the remains.
A HASTY VEBDICT.
Dr. Mount, the only pbysican who'exam
ined tbe body, said he thought it was a case
of suicide, but couldn't say positively until
he had made an autopsy, notwithstanding
this the jury returned a verdict at once.
There is great indignation over the way in
which the investigation had been conducted,
and it is denounced oc all sides as disgrace
ful. There is a strong suspicion that there
has been loul play in theycase and that it
may turn out a repetition of the case of
Benwell, the young Englishman whose
murder near "Woodstock, Ont., and the sub
sequent arrest of Burcnell. caused such a
sensation in both hemispheres.
Tbe feature of the case that is giving rise
to the strongest suspicion is how a man
could possible cut his throat to the extent of
five inches, quietlyleave his hotel in the
lower section of tbe city in broad daylight
at ii o docs: in tne morning, and with a
bloody towel wrapped around' his neck,
weak with the loss of blood, stagger through
the public streets that lead to tbe mountain,
whicb must have been crowded with people
at that hour of the day, climbing a steep hill
to tbe reservoir, surmount the high iron
railings that surround it, and plunge into
the water.
Such a proceeding is pronounced by lead
ing medical men as absurd. The fact of the
heavy stones found in the deceased's pockets
and only 15 cents in money being discovered
on his person, also adds to the strong suspi
cion of foul. play.
THE MUEDEE THEOET.
Detective Grose, of this city, who has
been employed by tbe Dominion Govern
ment in the case, says it is a straight case of
murder, and he made a report to that effect
to the Dominion (iovernment. He is of the
opinion that Kimber was murdered by some
ot bis acquaintances who came out with him
on the ship either for his money or in a row.
and that after tbe killing they took his body
in a cab to the reservoir, put the stones in
his pockets and threw it in. The blood
stains in the room were probably placed
there after the killing. He regards.it as
impossible that a man could cut his throat
as severely as Kimber's was and then walk
through the crowded thorpugbfares of the
city without attracting attention.
According to the statements of people
who came to this country on the Sarnia and
saw Kimber, he did not look like a man who
would commitsuicide. He associated with
several rather suspicious characters while
on board ship and it is feared that they may
have had something to do with his death.
Styles, the hotel proprietor, persists in say
ing that he saw Kimber leave the hotel on
the morning of April 11, and that he was
walking quickly at the time and didn't
seem to have anything the matter with him.
Altogether the case is a most mysterious one
and calls for a close investigation.
Major Sherwood, Chief of the Dominion
Secret Service, who was acting at the re
quest of Kimber's people in England,
through the Colonial Office, is also of tbe
opinion that Kimber met tbe same fate that
Benwell did. Kimber's relatives will be
communicated with and it is expected that
a searching investigation will be held,
though the probability is that it will never
be Known wnetner lumber commuted gui-
cide or was murdered.

Chicago, May 28. "When the can of
dynamite was found at the base of the Hay
market monument last week, Police Lieu
tenant Ripley made up his mind that the
explosive was not placed there by Chicago
Anarchists. The "Reds" of this city are
Working desperately to secure the pardon of
their comrades at Joliet, and they have been
careful not to do anything inimical to the
interests of the prisoners, and, working upon
his theory that a stranger placed the ten
pounds of giant powder on the monument,
Lieutenant Ripley began to scour the city
for foreign Anarchists.
He soon learned that Joseph. Kaiser, of
Hew York, a member of the Joban Most
wing of the radicals, came to Chicago about
a month ago. Kaiser, it was learned, had
lived in Hew York for" several years, and
until a short time ago he was one of Most's
most ardent admirers. He had also spent
several months in foreign jails. Kaiser,
who is a tinsmith by trade, has been
in correspondence with the Hew York
Reds ever since he reached this
city. He has been peddling relig
ious books and pictures from house to
house in order to cloak his mission to the
authorities here. He boarded on "West
Huron street, and his Sundays and even
ings have been spent in beer halls near Hay
market square. Last Friday night Kaiser
left his boarding house and nothing more
was seen of him. He left a trunk containing
some well worn clothing, but no dynamite
was found.
Most in the last issue of his paper com
mented on the plot and claimed his Chicago
friends had nothing to do with Kaiser. This
was the first intimation that the two men
had quarreled. It is supposed that Most,
becoming jealous of Kaiser's growing popu
larity among the radicals and being aware
of the nature of his rival's mission, took this
opportunity to strike at him. Kaiser is
now at the Central police station and under
heavy guard. He made some show of re
sistance, but the revolvers of the offiers soon
quieted him. He has been identified as one
of the men seen lurking around the monu
ment Friday night. His companions are
known and will be arrested.

Orleans Passo became enamored of
a young woman named Catharine Knhn.
He had already been married, of which fact
Miss Knhn was ignorant. Alter short court

drew up the marriage certificate and a mock
ceremony was performed. He forged the
name of Judge Voorhis to the document.
Miss Knhn, in a fit of frenzy, procured a re
volver and went in search of him. She
found him sitting in his office, and, taking a
aim, fired at him, the ball taking effect in
his right side.
It was at first thought that the wound
would prove fatal, but cith the assistance
of tha best iirgeons anl a strong conititu

was arrested for the shooting and held for
trial, but was acquitted. The charge of
forging the name ot a judicial officer was
brought against Passo. He was tried, con

prison. After undergoing an incarceration
of about 11 months, he effected his escape
and reached South America, where he re-mained-antil
