TEr DmAP'S CABLE COMPANT.1
London, .Feb. XL Mr. Parnell has to
day written the following letter to Mr.
G'Brien:
House or Commons, Feb. 11.
Mr Deak O'Brien The last information
ufclcli Gill has conveyed to me on tbe subject
of our negotiations being tbat they are of a
final character, I conclude there is nothing left
to be done as far as I am concerned but to
bungtheso endeavors of ours to arrive at a
peaceful settlement ot the unhappy difference
to a close.
I regret it has not been rendered possible for
me to consider tbe national interests were so
safeguarded that I could feel there would be no
..anger to the cause in my now surrendering
''be responsibility placed upon me which I ac
cepted at the hands of the nation. I have been
ready to act up to the letter and spirit of our
understanding to the last moment. I regret
that no course is lelt tome but to withdraw
Ireai tbo negotiations.
Text of tbo Negotiations Kept Secret.
The seal ot confidence which covers what
lias passed betn een us renders it impossible to
invite tbe public judgment at the present time.
It ever the seals are removed, I am confident
1 shall be believed.lo bare done everything in
tuv power consistent with the national interests
to promote the cause of peace and reunion. I
don't at all fear tbat the cause is lost.
Although the negotiations have fallen
through, the have not been entirely unsne-
f lal in advancing it. On this, at least, you
mar contrratnlate yonrself The .rourtrj !. ,
recovered considerably from the painful dis-1
triction and panic of the controversy. It has
bt"n raised nearer the plane to which it should
net sink again. It can be conducted without
national humiliation and discredit.
Although I regret it. I have perceived during
tbe last few days that there exists in some
Quarters tthence such a spirit might bo least
expected, a spirit breathing the deadliest hos
tility to peace. In any event true Irishmen
rae you their thanks for tbe beneficent efforts
van have made. The country will agree that
von have acted throughout with tbe spirit of a
true patriot. Very sincerely yours,
CHARLES STEWART PARNEI-L,
A Manifesto Issued by Dillon.
This is not the only address, however, ior
st Boulogne Mr. Dillon issued the following
manifesto to-night, a copy of which received
from his own hands says:
Before I lelt New York I had arrived at the
ceftdaslon that the only possible hope of sav
ing tbo cause of borne rule from disaster and
Ireland the horrors and humiliation of a pro
longed internecine struggle lay in some ar
ljBgementby which the Inh Parliamentary
parties could be united, and united under con
tltkas which, while putting an end to factional
strife in Ireland, should preserve the alliance
with the Liberal party in England and make it
possible for u to win at a general election. It
net necessary for me to enter into details
here or to give tbo grounds upon which this
.relusioa was arrived at.
I'.al I feel bound to fay that I was greatly in
fluenced by the manner in which oppusition to
Mr I'arnell has uecn carried on by some of his
timet prominent opponents. Sir. Pamell bad
lieu assaulted v.ith shockingly vindictive bru
t ility and w ith utter disrega d of what was due
i iiiru. or respect for his splendid services to
Ireland in the past. This course had intro
duced a personal charae'er to the controversy
which in the minds of avast number of Irish
Nationalists had hopelessly
Ofcscured the Great Public Issues at Stake
-nd drawn tens of thousands of people in
Ireland and America to Sir. Parnell's side,
who, I am firmly convinced, Mould have op-i-ed;U)e
continuance of his leadership had the
controversy been coudncted in a different
fashion, and bad the public issue been differ--atly
presented to them. I resent as strongly
a ever the outrageous chargesand insults that
were leveled by Mr. Parnell at his own former
colleagues and at tbo leaders of the Liberal
party. I opposed all his recent proceedings,
and since the issne of his fatuous manifesto I
have found xnj self nttcrlj unable to accept his
V deiship. Nevertheless, had I been freed
from my sentence of imprisonment, I should
have found it difficult, if not impossible, to
throw myself heartily into a struggle con
ducted on lines and by methods utterly abhor
rent to me.
At the other side of the Atlantic Ocean I was
not in a position to decide vi hethcr it were pos
fcibte to carry out satisfactorily any arrange
n ert by which the Irish could be reunited. I
: rordmgly sailed for France to join Mr.
i'rica to ascertain from lnnY whether the in
loiiiijition he bad obtained since his arrival in
fcuropo had led him to the belief that a peace
ful arrangement was possible. I arrived at
uavio on January IS, and after most full and
careful consideration of the entire situation in
Ireland, Mr. O'llnen and I found ourselves in
perfect accord.
An Honorable Itennion Was Possible.
lie informed me that, as the result of his
. i in iinicatinns with Mr. Parnell, Mr. 31c-
h' and others.no wasof opinion thitituas
r.in os-ibte to carrv out come arrangement
.li -hould peetwith hearty assent all round
: i jil par.les and restore peace and unity to
t lie national ranks, n hile at tbe same time se
i unng tbo success of the Liberal alliance at the
general election.
Having ibis opinion of Mr. O'Brien before
tin., and the facts by which he supported hil
Mews, and furthermore the consideration that
in my deliberate judgment there was no altern
ative by which the slightest hope of saving tbo
anse from disaster was offered. I also at once
i t it my duty to give my must cordial ana
i v Isupiin-ttoMr.O'lirlcuiutbediElculttask
it id undertaken, bu'osequent events had
lu !. borne out the truth of Mr. O'Brien's
Mews, lor in tbe course of the negotiations
which had been carried on at Boulogne, it bad
been clearly proved that an arrangement such
as was contemplated was perfectly possible.
The great majority of our colleagues on both
sides, desirous of peace, would haTe co-operated
with us, and i feel quite certain that nine-tenths
of the people of Ireland are eager for a peace
ful solution of the question.
Pow erf ol Influen ccs Working Against Peace.
From the commencement, however, of our
negotiations it became apparent that powerful
influences were at work on both sides against
peace, and the time has now come when we are
compelled sorrowfully to announce that, having
done our best for peace, wo have failed and this
miserable struggle in Ireland must apparently
continue. Those who either through ignorance
or malice sneered at and obstructed our efforts
will, before long, realize the full extent of their
responsibilities. For niy own part I cannot
even yet entirely abandon the hope that the
good sense of the Irish peoplo will before long
assert itself and Insist upon an end being put to
the Insane conflict which can result in nothing
bat humiliation and ruin for Ireland.
John Dillon.
Mr. T. P. Gill arrived at Boulogne at 4
O'clock this afternoon from London bearing
a message from tbe Irish party to Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien informing them that all
negotiations fir a compromise have failed
and been definitely broken off. Mr. and
Mrs. O'Brien left oil the 6:40 train for Paris,
but have Dot taken their baggage with
tbem. Messrs. Dillon and Oill remain at
Boulogne with the understanding tbat a
meeting of the three would be held next
Saturday, upon which occasion final arrange
ments will be made in regard to the course
to be pursued In the future. Mr. O'Brien
states that immediately after next Satur
day's meeting he intends surrendering him
self to the English authorities.
The Third of the Addresses.
O'Brien has also issned a long statement
of the Irish situation. He says:
In an otherwise difficult position the dele
gates to America had the advantage tbat
they were free from tbe heat of partisan
ship and could offer themselves as medi
ators. The experience of the past five weeks,
gathered from personal interviews, let
ters and newspapers of all sides, completely
con'rms the conviction that only a hearty re
union can save tbe Irish canse. It is my duty
to solemnly declare that no difficulty bas ex
isted which a little more sacrifice of personal
feelings on both sides might not have sur
mounted. Mr. O'Brien explains that the' idea of
a public truce was abandoned on both sides
as impassible, and that no useful purpose
would follow the publishing of the details
of the negotiations. Therefore it had been
decided to regard the negotiations as confi
dential. Mr. O'Brien thinks, however, tbat
none of tbe parties concerned will seriously
question that upon the main points con
tended for on both sides a substantial agree
ment was established. He says:
I cannot too strongly express with what feel
ing we found a settlement so vital shipwrecked
at the last moment by mere contests of words
and Dhrase-contests, which, with a little more
magnanimity and lees suspiciousness on both
sides might easily bave been arranged, and
which, to my mind, offer a shockingly inade
quate excuse for
Committing the Country to a Struggle
Involving consequences so appalling. We are
hampered at every step, not merely by the
malignant tittle-tattle and giddy (mischief;
making of a section of the English press, but
by the most serious impediment placed in our
way by responsible persons, who, under tbe in
fluence of some extraordinary infatuation,
bave seemed to grudge every hour devoted to
peacemaking, to resent every attempt to give a
less barbarous character to tbs conflict.
Mr. O'Brien expresses gratitudn for the
attitude of helpfulness and sympathy of the
bulk of tbe English and Irish people and of
his colleagues ot both sections of the Irish
party, who, he believes, are ready to make
any sacrifice of personal feeling or punctilio
for the restoration of the priceless blessing
of national unity. In conclusion Mr.
O'Brien says:
One of tbu saddest things in this tragic busi
ness is tbat circumstances have rendered it
impossible to give organized effect to tbe over-,
whelming public longing for a leconciliation,
while the field is held by heated partisans who.
luipeJl'J oy motives wuiciix ao not question.
r . n .i - u iwTPT.m-jn "Murgr

quences ot continueo. aiscoru, navo uone weir
worst by
Exasperating Language and Suspicions,
scarcely veiled threats and rumors and In
trigues, to make the work of peace-making im
possible. Tbe irreconcilable of all sections
have carried the day. Mr. Dillon and myself
cannot longer stand between them and their
deplorable work. "We should have been more
sensitive to the obloquy wo incur by refusing
to participate in snch a conflict had we ever
Eliruuk from a conflict with Ireland's enemies.
We can do nothing more till we have recovered
freedom of action by getting through with the
sentence standing against us. On the expira
tion of that term, I shall be happy to snbmit
myself to tbe judgment of my constituents,
and if I cannot otherwise assist, I can enable
them to commit their interests to other hands.
Mr. O'Brien expresses the hope that tbe
inevitable conflict forced upon the country
may be conducted without personal bitter
ness and degrading personalities, so that
when the unhappy passions of the hour have
exhausted themselves all may again co-operate
in the nation's cause.
ATTACK ON ROYALTY
BECAUSE OF DISGBACEFUL DEVELOP
MEKTS IK THE CABD SCANDAL.
Tories Tarn Upon the Prince, Who is Great
ly "VI orried by the Fear of Appearing In
Court lie Denies One of the Charges
Made.
TBT PCXLAP'S CABLE COMPANY!.
London, Feb. 11. His Royal Highness,
the Prince of "Wales, who, as was reported,
is terribly upset at the prospect of having
to appear in the witness box in tbe Sir Gor
don Cumming card scandal, has caused an
authoritative statement to be issned denying
that he was entrusted with the document
signed by the plaintiff in the forthcoming
libel case, in which tbat gentleman prom
ised never again to touch a card. The
Standard, the organ of the Conservative)
party, publishes a scathing article on tbe
subject of (he gambling scandal which has
been mnch commented npon because of the
sneering at the Prince of "Wales in which it
indulges. It says:
Tho sketch drawn for us in the semi-official
accounts, which have been recently published,
of an evening at Tranby Craft is curious, but
not attractive. This distinguished country
bouse party, which had passed tbe day at the
race coarse, was so enamored of tho goddess of
chance that it spent tbe night worshiping her.
The drawing room is converted Into a casino,
tbe ladies and gentlemen cluster round the
baccarat table, and no less a person than tbe
heir to tbe throne found it agreeable to take a
part In tbe game. For two hours this refined
amusement goes on. Then one aristocratic
gambler Is snspectea ot cheating. Two or
three others act as volunteer detectives and
watch their fellow guest.
Finally the party breaks up in confusion,
and men and women are squabbling round tho
first gentleman in the empire over the question
whether an officer who bears an old title and
Her Majesty's commission did or did not pre
tend he had staked a 5 note, when he had
really Staked ia The "scene ends with mid
night confabulation of a strict little band
swearing one another to keep the whole busi
ness dark, and not lo permit it to get into tho
newspapers. The last resolve was eminently
wise. It was certainly vcrv desirable tbat all
the world should not obtain tins instinctive
gUuce Into the diversions of good societ. If tbe
account Is true, 'tis pity, and pity 'ti, 'tis true.
If false, it is not so improbable as to bear false
hood on its face.

'ET EDNLAP'S CABLE COUFAXT.l
London, Feb. 11. Gustave Nordensk
jold, the son of tbe celebrated Arctic ex
plorer, is making a tour of Europe for the
purpose of completing his geological in
quiries. He proposes to form one of tbe
projected Antartic expedition of 1893, in
which a number ofscientific specialists will
also join. The sum of 10,000 will be spent
in making the necessary equipment, and al
ready the city of Melbourne has subscribed
one-half and Baron Dixson tbe other. It
has not yet been decided what vessel will be
engaged, bnt in all probability one will be
hired for a period of 18 months, which, it is
estimated, will be the duration of the enter
prise. Additional interest is given to the under
taking by the fact that no ship has visited
the Antartic regions for 50 years. Gustave
Nordenskjold is personally a tall, delicate
looking young man of 28."

FREE SILVEB COINAGE
In His Letter of Regret Read at a New York
Anti-Silver Mass meeting He Speaks of
tho Dangers Invited by the Proposed
Legislation.
'New Yoek, Feb. 1L Between 600 and
700 attended the mass meeting at Cooper
Union to oppose the silver bill, in response
to the call of the Reform Clnb. F. Ellery
Anderson presided, and among the letters of
regret was this:
Mt Dear Sib I have this afternoon re
ceived yonr note inviting me to attend to-morrow
evening a meeting called for tbe purpose
of voicing the opposition of the business ot our
city to the free colnaga of silver in tbe United
States. I shall not be able to attend and address
the meeting as you request, bnt I am glad that
tbe business interests of New York are at last
to be heard on the subject. It surely cannot be
"necessary for mo to. make a formal expression
of my agreement with those who believe that
tbe greatest perils would be initiated by the
adoption of the scheme embraced in the meas
ure now pending in Congress for an unlimited
coinage of silver at our mints. It we have de
veloped an unexpected capacity for the assimi
lation of a largely increased volume of cur
rency, and even if we bave demonstrated the
usefulness of such an increase, these conditions
fall, far short of insuring us against disaster, if
in the present situation we enter upon the dan
gerous and reckless experiment of free, unlim
ited and independent silver coinage.

Resolutions condemning unlimited silver
coinage were passed. Ex-Secretary of the

1AST BCIXETIN, 3 A. M. General
Sherman's condition very low.
I SPECIAL TELSOKAU TO TBE DISPATCn.l
New Yobk, Feb. 1L The attack 61
erysipelas which prostrated General Sher
man on Sunday last is the third severe at
lack tbat he has had. The first occurred in
1869, and was very severe. The
present attack grew out of 'a
cold which he caught while viewing
a performance of "Poor Jonathan" from a
box in the Casino. The next day he aU
tended the wedding of Colonel Elliott F.
Shepard's daughter, and while in tho
church ho again complained of the
cold. He had an engagement to
dine ont on Friday, but as his
throat by this time was affected be bad to
send his regrets. He bad invited a number
of gentlemen to meet Lawrence Barrett at
dinner at the Union League Club, but was
compelled to be absent. On Sunday morn
ing signs of erysipelas appeared on his face,
and the disease took a firm hold on him.
An Old Army Friend "With. Him.
General Sherman's old army friend, Dr.
Alexander, was at his bedside on "Wednes
day night, and when Dr. Janeway called
at 9:30 this morning to relieve him, he hav
ing been constantly at the General's bed
side for nearly 3G hours, he fonnd tbe Gen
eral resting on his back In a state of semi
stdper. His condition at this time
wasjvery critical. He was in great pain
when he moved and apparently getting
weaker every minute despite tho 'fact that
the whisky and milk were administered
to him as often as advisable. At this time,
his brother, Senator John Sherman, his
son, Philemon Tecumseh Sherman, his
daughters, Mrs. A. II. Thnckera, of Eose
monf, near Philadelphia; Mrs. T. "W. Titcb,
of Pittsburg; Mrs. Bachael and Miss Lizzie
Sherman, and his niece, Mrs. Colgate Hoyt,
were at his bedside. His son, Thomas Ew
ing Sherman, who is in the Isle of Jersey,
was cabled for. '
Generals Thomas Ewing and O. O. How
ard called during the morning. The former
is the brother-in-law of General Sherman.
About noon General Sherman seemed easier
and his family took new hope. He was
still in the half comatose state,
but he did not seem to be growing
any weaker. About 2 o'clock Dr. E. H,
Green relieved Dr. Janeway. Many tele,
grams of inquiry and sympathy were re
ceived by Senator John Sherman daring the
day. Among the earliest of them was this:
A Message From the President.
"WASHnrSTOU, Feb. 1L
John Sherman, ?S "West Twenty-first street, Kew ;
York:
I am very solicitous about the General.
Please let me know bis condition.
Benjamin Habrisox.
Shortly after S o'clock bulletins of the
General's condition had been issued. Dr.
Green was so far impressed with hope that
he said: "I am far from giving General ;
Sherman up. I still have hope that he will
weather this attack."
"Tire General is fighting the hardest battle
of his life, and X hope hs will win," said a
relative of Genera Sherman.
At this time the General took no notice of
anything that was said or done in his room,
though when asked a question he appeared
to be conscious of its import.' It was
thonghtthat he was able to recognize his
doctors and such members of his family as
were in immediate attendance on him.
At 6 o'clock General Thomas Erfinsent
this telegram to the President: "Family
far more hoperulr-some slight evidence of
reviving strength."
General Collis called at 8 o'clock in the
evening and remained a short time, and at
8:30 o'clock this bulletin was issued: "Gen
eral Sherman's condition remains un
changed." T. De"Witt Talmage and Mrs.
Talmage drove up in a closed car
riage and entered tbe house, re
maining for a quarter of as hour. On
leaving (the house, Dr. Talmage said:
"The house is shrouded in gloom, and, in
my opinion, the family is hopirg against
hope." At 9 o'clock this bulletin was
issued: "General Sherman's condition re
mains unchanged. He is holding his own
well." Callers were coming and going con
stantly between 9 and 10 o'clock. General
Ewing went home early.
Slight Signs of Improvement,
Atl o'clock this bulletin was issued:
"General Sherman slightly better." Dr.
Janeway and Dr. Green arranged for a con
sultation at 1030 o'clock Dr. Janeway
remained in the house about .half an hour,
and when he left refnsed to make any state
ment "I can say nothing about the General's
condition, except that there has been no
improvement."
"No improvement since when?" he was
asked.
"No improvement since" morning, and lit
tle hope."
At 11:30 o'clock this bulletin was issned:
"The result of the consultation of Dr. Jane
way and Dr. Alexander snows that there
has been no improvement in General Sher
man's condition."
Dr. Alexander decided to remain with the
General all night. Father Matthew A.
Taylor, of the Church ot the Blessed Sacra
ment, called at 11:30 o'clock and remained
for some time.
At 1:15 A. M. a message was sent John
Bh'rman, saying: "Papa is very much
worse. You had better come up." It was
signed "Sherman."

Toeonto, Feb. 11. Great excitement
was caused here this morning by a demon
stration by 1,000 unemployed workingmen,
who waited on the Mayor and asked
for work or bread. Tho Mayor
told the wretched and starving crowd that
the city had given all tbe work possible to
the nnemployed. A man in tho crowd
loudly threatened the Mayor, saying that
they would parade" the streets peaceably for
three days, but then if help is not forthcom

The politician had nothing to do with
the demonstration, but it was the best
answer possible to the cry of the Conserva

north and south. Gould's combination
will be the strongest kind of a competitor
with the Pennsylvania, paralleling it, snr
ronnding it and crossing it again and again.
The basis of the scheme is an option which
Gould has secured upon the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad through Mr. Inman. In map
ping ont his great undertaking Gould
draws a line across the country from
New York to San Francisco, and his pur
pose apparently is to bring all the important
lines in the territory south1 of the Union
Pacifio and Pennsylvania systems into a
harmonious whole, with a friendly under
standing as to rates and division of busi
ness. Gould counted upon much opposition,
and he attempted nothing until be had a
fall understanding with C. P. Hunt
ington, of the Sonthern Pacific, with
whom he holds the balance of power in the
Southwest, and with John H. Inman, the
practical dictator in the territory south of
the Ohio river.
A SMALL REDUCTION

A Committee of the Central Traffic Associa

Lowor Rates Tlio Concession Made Is a
Very Slight One.
rSPECIAt. TXLEOKAX TO TIIE DISPATCH. I
k Chicago, Feb. 11. Mahoning Val-
lery iron manufacturers will be much dis
appointed at tho prospective action of the
Freight Committee of the Central
Traffic Association regarding rates
on manufactured iron from Mahoning
"Valley points aud Pittsburg to Chicago.
.The Mahoning Valley iron interests de
manded a carload rate to Chicago of 10
Cents per 100 pounds in place of present
rate of 17 cents.
The demand was referred-by the Freight
Committee of the Central Traffic Association
to the sub-committee on iron rates. All day
to-day was consumed in a discusion of the
matter and finally the sub-committee
on Iron agreed to recommend that
tbe rates on manufactured iron from
"i'tt$b-nrsiT Chicago be fixed at 13 cents ii.
carloads"and 17)4 cents jn less thattfearloadg
per 100 pounds, which is a reduction
of 2 cents, while from the Mahoning
Valley points it will be recommended
that rates be fixed at 13 cents in carloads
and IS cents for less than carloads, or two
cents less than the present rate. The rates
from Mahoning Valley points are less than
the rates from Pittsburg on the basis of the
short line inileago between point of ship
ment to Chicago.
The report ot the sub-Committee on Iron
will be presented to the full meeting of the
Freght Committee to-morrow, when it is
likely to be accepted. The Mahouing
Valley furnaces had another de
mand for a reduction of the rate on
pig iron between Mahoning Valley points
and Cbioago to $2 per ton, tbe present rate
being $2 20. This the sub-Committee on
Iron agreed to recommend.

in that Which 'may result from it in a few

at this time amounts to only abont $31,000,
000 a year. Of this the United States has
succeeded in getting about one-half. Great
Britain keeping the rest as the wreck of a
former monopoly.
The importations of the United States
from Venezuela during the year ending June
30, 1890, were valued at about 511,000,000,
and tho exports to Venezuela at about
$3,600,000,
Large Besults Are Expected.
Flour was one of the most important of
these exports, and the value of the flour ex
ported last year, even under the high rat
of duty exacted by the Venezuelan Govern
ment, amounted to well on to $1,000,000.
The duty is a trifle over ?2 CO on every 100
pounds, and it orings tbe cost to consumers
up to ?14 a barrel. The balk of the value
of the imports is in coffee, of which there
was imported last year nearly $10,000,000
worth. There is also a large importation of
hides.
Under such terms of the treaty imports of
coffee, hides snd so forth, will come in free,
and flour, lumber, cotton goods and Other
exports will go free to Veneznela, and it is
expected that there will bean enormous in
crease in the exportation, and that we will
supplant England in -her great market in
Venezuela for cotton goods. The treaty will
also be another nail in the coffin of the
Spanish "West Indies, as it Will admit sugar
free from Venezuela, and therefore greatly
encourage its production there.
Spain "Will Have to Join.
"Within a very few years it is expected
that these-reciprocity treaties with South
andCentral American States will result in
the importation of all the sugar necessary
for the consumption of the United States,
with the increased domestic production
under the bounty provision, and that Cuba,
unless Spain join the reciprocity procession,
will lose her sugar export to this country
entirely, which now amonntsto about 1,050,
000,000 pounds a year, with a value of abont
837,000.000.
The British "West Indies will also lose a
sugar export to this countrv amounting to
350,000,000 pounds annually, and British
Guiaoa 132,000,000 pounds. There is little
doubt that under the spur of the reciprocity
treaty, Brazil alone will within a few years
export to this country almost as great a bulk
of sugar as Cuba does, instead of the 230,
000,000 or thereabouts, that we now receive

fBOM A STAPT COESZSFOITDSST.1
"WASHiKGtoir, Feb. 1L An abortive
effort was made to-day in the House to se
erira for Philadelphia the much-needed
mint improvement; but, as is usually the
case, the carelessness of some of her mem
bers was tbe cause of its failure. The ex
ecutive, legislative and judicial bill was
nnder consideration when the clause
was reached appropriating $80,000 for
the expenses of coinagl at tbe Philadelphia
mint, and providing for the further use of
the seigniorage accruing-from coinage to be
used in the event of the appropriation not
being sufficient. Dockery. of Missouri, is
opposed to the use, of tbe seigniorage in any
mint, and he hurried over to Congressman
O'Neill and suggested that instead of the
clause providing for the seigniorage the ap
propriation should be raised to $100,000.
The venerablo Father of the House did
not see through the trick, and he took kind
ly to the suggestion. He arose and moved
to amend by making the amount S100.000..

Insert in the bill a provision for the sale of

and the purchase of a new locality and the
erection of a building thereon.
Silver-dollar Bland raised his voice in
protest against tbe Vaux amendment. He
claimed that the "West was the silver-pro-dacing
country, and that a mint located
somewhere in the "West would be much
more beneficial to the country and the pro
ducers. Congressman Reyburn, who has
been guarding the mint bill with zealous
care, boiled over at last and he answered
Bland's inspired arguments in a masterly
and convincing manner.
The Pennsylvania members had massed
their forces by this time, and were calling in
recruits for the fray. Everything looked
smilingly tor Philadelphia, bnt tbe storm
intimidated Vaux and O'Neill, and they
immediately withdrew their amendments.
The original mint bill is still on tbe calen
dar, with the prospect of its remaining there,
unless the Philadelphia delegation reaches
some sort of a conclusion without the Com
mittee on Rules setting apart a special day.

Clapp-Grlfliths Steel Secures Recognition

"Washington, Feb. 11. After a long
fight, tbe makers of steel, by what is known
as the Clapp-Griffitbs process, have succeed
ed in inducing the Navy Department to al
low the use of steel made by their process
in tbe construction of vessels for the navy
on the same footing as open-hearth steel,
which has heretofore been the only steel
allowed by the specifications. C. C. Loring,
of Boston.has taken the most prominent part
in the matter. He applied to the department
some months ago for such a modification of
future contracts as would allow this steel to
be used, bat the Board of Steel Inspectors
reported against its use, principally on the
ground that thesame uniformity of quality
that is possible in tbe open hearth steel could
not be relied upon in the Clapn-GrifSths
metal. Secretary Tracy ordered a thorough
test of Mr. Loriog's metal to be made, how
ever, and since that time over 200 test pieces
have been tested by the board, with the re
sult;of showing such uniformly good results
as to tensile strength and elasticity that, on
the report of the inspectors the Secretary
has directed that tbe use of Clapp-Griffiths
steel shall be allowed hereafter.

Secretary of th& Whisky Trust
Arrested on a Charge of ,

THE SACRIFICE OF 150 LIYES..
A Government Official Offered $25,000 U
Place tHeDread Machine.
EVIDENCE OP TOE SCHEME COMPLETE
Chicago, Feb. lL If the story told
by the agents of the National Treasury De
partment now in this city is true one of the
most diabolical of dynamite plott,invdlving
great loss of life and property, has been dis
covered and the consummation, prevented
just on the eve of putting it into effect. The
"Western Distillers and Cattle Feeders' As
sociation, better Known as the "Whisky
Trust, with a capital stock of 35,000,000,
controls the price of high wines thronghout
the country, as it controls all the distilleries
with two or three exceptions.
The most important distillery outside of
tbe combination is that of H. H. Shufeldt,
in this city, and it was against this concern
that the plot was arranged. The exposure
of the conspiracy occurred this morning.
Secretary of the Trust Arrested.
George Gibson, of Peoria, 111., arrived
here at 6 o'clock, and on complaint of Solic
itor General Hart, of the Treasury Depart
ment, who came from "Washington lor the
purpose, was arrested as he alighted from
a carriage at the door of the Grand Pacific
Hotel, and hurried across the street into tha
Government building and locked up. The
arrest was made as quietly as possible, and
the fact was not made public till some hours
afterward.
The charge laid at Gibson's door is that
he oSered General Ganger T. S. Dewar, who
is on duty at Shufeldt's distillery, a briber
to blow np the distillery with dynamite.
Solicitor Hart tells the story of the plot as
follows:
Home months ago tbe Washington department
were assured tbat things were not just straight,
from the fact tbat the Trust peonle tried their
best to have a certain man appointed inspector
of the department for this district. We set a
watch. Boon T. S. Dewar was communicated
with and this man Gibson opened np a corre
spondence with him. We havo the corre
spondence. A Bribe to Dlow TJp tho Concern.
Gibson felt his man cautiously, telling him
at first tbat Shufeldt's concern was in the way
and that they were trying to get It out of th
way. Jlts,'zyi tlttl" .holder, and flcally,
led orAbj? J)owarwt5"was all tha ttna in con
sultation with the department, he made a.
straight proposition. He offered Dewar $I0,0CO
and then increased the offer to $25,000 to brow
up the concern. Gibson stated that ha had x
dynamite machine that conld be located jnst
outside of one of the. largo tanks, so that a few
moments after it was placed it would explode.
There would be plenty of time, Gibson told
Dewar.f or him to get away and tbat hejwas tha
only man who could place it becanse ot the
fact that as a Government officer he had access
to all parts of the hollaing.
The result of the success of the conspiracy
would have been that the machine wonld have
exploded between two of the immense tanks,
matins a terrible destruction and leaving a sea
of alcohol on fire. Gibson lied when be told
Dewar that tbe machine would not go off until
be had time to get out. for it would bare ex
ploded at once, killine; the man who placed it
tbe very instant before he conld possibly get
away, tnnsdestroyin? tbe only evidence against
tbe trust peonle. and at the same time saving to
them the 23,000 that Dewar was to bave re
ceived. In addition to tbe destruction of De
war and the buildinzs the success of thoplot
meant unquestionably the death of 150 men
working in the place.
Everything Beady for tho Explosion.
As I say, Mr. Dawary under our Instruc
tions, went the length of the conspiracy to tbo
point of domsthe diabolical deed, and when
Gibson was arrested hs was waiting uneasily,
expecting to hear of the explosion and destruc
tion of all those lives and all that property.
We bare in onr possession tho evidence to sub
stantiate Dewar's statement; tbe dynamita
machine, the letters, the contract between
Dewar ana Gitson. in fact, everything. Too
case is practically over so far as onr department
is concerned; the case is made.
Mr. Gibson Is the secretary of the trust, and.
while we might reason that Gibson was not
alone in this and somebody higher orin the
trust was tbe responsible party, we have not a
bit of evidence tending to implicate anyone
else. Everything we have points to Gibson.
and to no other person.
The machine, the materials to make it
effective and the inculpating documents
were in a satchel which Gibson carried at
the time of his arrest. Some unknown per
son who had knowledge of tbe conspiracy
warned tbe owners of the distillery on Mon
day of the danser which beset them and
fixing the date for the explosion for yester
day or to-day, and they were carefully
guarding the premises day and night.
Some Similar Attempts Made.
Two previous attempts which were at
tributed to the Whisky Trust, bnt not
proved, were made to destroy Shufeldt's
with dynamite. One of them occurred two
years ago last fall. Detective Dan Cough
lin, oi the city police force, was detailed on
tbe case and it was while at work on it that
he made the acquaintance of the little Ger
man, John B. Kunze. Both of them were
afterward tried ior complicity in tbe assas
sination of Dr. Cronin. Coughlin is serv
ing a life sentence for the crime, bnt Evruue
was acquitted.
This afternoon Gibson was taken before
United States Commissioner Home and re
leased on bail of $20,000. He declined to
make any statement in regard to the matter.
SOMEBODY EVLDEHTLY MISTAKES'.
Bill Never Got the tVatterson. Letter and
Calls It a Forgery.
Albany, Feb. 11. Governor Hill, when
he saw tbe letter purporting to be from
Henry "Watterson, published in the Balti
more "Sun this morning, said:
1 never received any snch letter. It is the
first I have beard of It. It must be a forgery.
Mr. Watterson is a good Democrat and a good
gentleman, and I believe bim incapable of
addressing any such Impertinent communica
tion to roe. A. resort to such silly and im
pudent f orsery was probably intended to place
me in a false position by reason of recent
events in this State, but It will surely injure
the cause it was designed to aid and react upon
its authors.
A dispatch from Baltimore says: Tbe

Sun, anent the declarations of Governor
