IEFECTAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Bcffaxo, X, Y., April 14. Tuesday afternoon, while Charles McAllister, a farmer living one miie southwest of Brock port, was working in his woods with his hired man, they discovered by chance a snugly-built shanty in a dense thicket. The shanty was compactly built of bark, and the crevices were tightly closed with cotton batting. In one corner was a neat sheet-iron heater, and behind it a small work bench and chair. The floor was thickly carpeted i with leaves. . Mr. McAllister searched the shanty thoroughly, and found several dynamite bombs of the most approved pattern, and it is clear that the hut has been used as a workshop for several weeks. The neighbors are greatly excited over the discover- of the shanty and bombs. It mut have taken a very clever workman to build such an artistic shanty and to make such neat bombs of brass and tin. The shanty is so near Brockport that it is curi ous it was not discovered before, though at a distance it could not be told from a large tree. The Dvnamtte Plant In Bailey's Swamp. Mr. McAllister's farm is on a highway runuing east and west. The farm is long and narrow, and extends some three-fourths of a mile back from the road. At the lower end of the property is a heavily timbered 1 tract known as Bailey s swamp. It was in Bailor's swamp that the bomb factory wa found. The manner of the discovery may be best told in Mr. McAllister's own words: "Horace Bailey aud I were at work in the swamp. Most of the time we were oc cupied on the outskirts and did not go near the thickets which cover the marshy por tions. Some time in the forenoon we walked into the thicket. "We were marking trees which we proposed to cut next winter, and so worked our way further toward the middle of the swamp. For a long time we had been jumping from hummock to hum mock and crossing the larger pools on logs and fallen trees. An Odd Stump In a Thicket. "At last we reached a place where the thicket was "o dense that we decided to go back. "We did not want to get wet, and, be sides, it was disagreeable to force our way thiough the underbrush which tore our clothes and scratched our hands and faces as we floundered along. "We stopped on a hummock to rest, and Mr. Bailey proposed that we turn back. "While we were stand ing there mv attention was attracted by what appeared to be the trunk of an unusually large tree at a short distance from us in the thicket. Mr. Bailey noticed the tree at the same time; "Big tree, that, said L 'Bather, said Mr. Bailey. Finally he remarked, 'that tree seems to be all stump; queer it has no top." "Then we thought that we would look at the big stump. "We ent in a little further and iound that what we had supposed wa3 the trunk of a gigantic tree was in reality a small bark hut, cunuingl concealed in the thicket. You may be bure we were sur prised. "We went to the door and attempted to look in. There was no chance to see the inside of the hut without breaking down the door. The door itself was not cheerful looking. A skull and crossbones were carved on the outside, and beneath was printed the word 'Beware!' Contents or the Hidden Hnt. "We broke in the door and went inside. There was a sheet-iron stove in one corner, a work bench, some tools, a small ax, a bar rel of coal, a small crucible, a soldering iron, some nails, bits of chain and spikes, a copy of a French newspaper and several tin bombs, such as the one I have here. There were slag and bits of metal on the dirt floor. "We also found a box of ful minate, some sticks of sulphur and a small canister of powder. "I have no idea when the hut was built, and do not have any suspicion as to who has been engaged in the peculiar work carried on there. I at firft thought that counter feiters had been carrying on operations, but I remembered that counterfeiters do not manufacture bombs. They have no use for explosives. I am utterly at a loss to account for the discovery we have made. I am in clined to think that a camp of Anarchists has been located in the swamp during the winter." A Mid night Tour of Discovery. The Dispatch correspondent heard the foregoing story last night, and at midnight, in company with Mr. McAllister and a deputy sheriff, he visited the camp of the Anarchists in the old swamp. Bailey's swamp is almost like a picnic grove, upon first enteiing it, but before going many rods the explorer finds that it is not only a swamp, bat a wild and tangled one. It was with Teat difficulty that Farmer McAllis ter found his way. In the very depth of the thicket McAllister halted. "There it is," said he. "Where?" asked the reporter, as he strained his eyes through the darkness. McAllister pointed ahead. Still the re porter could see nothing. Finally Mc Allister succeeded in pointing out the hut Sure enough, a cHLstly death's head flick ered and gleamed on the door. "Some one has been here since yester day," whispered the farmer. As the re porter looked he saw that a skull and cross bones were drawn in wavering, luminous lines. Phosphorus had been used by the chemists of the swamp to give their art an added terror. Empty Bombs Found on a Shelf. Plucking up courage the men entered the hut. There were no loaded bombs on the floor or in sight only two empty ones on a shelf in the corner. The sheet iron stove and the work bench remained, but the tools used by the unknown metal workers had disappeared. The French newspaper re mained. It was a copy of V Jntrcmsigeant, bearing a December date, "We left everything in disorder when we left the place," said McAllister, "but soma one has been here and tidied up. I tell you this is a strange aflair all the way through. I would not have come here to-night if we had not been prepared for a fieri t, " Upon examining the cabin it was found to be a fine specimen of woodcraft It was sided and roofe'd with bark. The chinks were filled with wild grass, and a genuine air of rude comfort pervaded the place. In addition to the depressing, skull and cross bones carved on the door, and emphasized, for the benefit of night visitors, by the aid of phosphorus, there were several pleasant placards inside the hut which bore such en livening legends as: "Beware! Your death has been decreed!" "Death to all oppress ors!" "Fire and blood will purify!" A Dozen Gross of Bombs round. Several of the bombs were brought to the city to-day, and City Chemist Vandenbergh will analyze one to-morrow. Not less than a dozen gross of the bombs were taken out of the old swamp by Farmer McAllister and a party ot neighbors to-day. The question which now agitates the peo ple of Brockport and vicinity is, "Who are the proprietors of this bomb lactory, and what do they propose doing with" their product?" The authorities have begun an investigation, and will try to find the bomb manufacturers. They claim to possess a clew which will lead to the capture of the Anarchists. EGAN MUST STAY HERE. HIS LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM CHILE TO BE A LONG ONE. Consul McCreary Alio to Be Allowed to Come Borne for Awhile Uncle Sam's Diplomatic Kelatlons "With Chile May Be Broken Off Altogether. If ew York, Aprill4. Special The fol lowing special dispatch from Washington is published in this afternoon's Commercial Ad vertiser: In a very unobtrusive manner, our dip lomatic relations with Chile, it Is under stood, are to be suspended indefinitely, if not broken off altogether. It is not expected that a Minister will be sent here Dy the Chilean Government to succeed Senor Montt,' who has gone home to enter the Chilean Congress. The expectation further is that the leave of absence granted Minis ter Egan and Consul McCreary will be in definitely extended, and that ultimately, without publicity being given to the matter, they will cease to draw pay from this Gov ernment. It is understood to be the purpose of this Government to cease diplomatic relations with Chile, both countries participating In the desire to "keep out of eaoh other's com pany" rorawlille. but it is not tnelr purpose to bring about the severance of relations suddenly, ana therefore the simple method of granting leaves of absence is resorted to. Neither Mr. Egan nor Mr. McCleary Is to go back to Chile. There was some talk when the consular and diplomatic bill was under consideration In the House committee of consolidating the Chilean mission with that of Bolivia or of reducing the pay of the Minister to Chile. One or the other of these things would have been done, it is said, but for the reason that it was understood in a vague sort of wav that wo would not have any Minister in Chile very lbn?. It is expected that there will be consider able delay in the settlement of the claims growing out of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore, but this Government will probably make a very modest demand, and ultimately the Chilean Government will make a settlement. At the bottom of the whole matter is the desire to get rid of Mr. Egan, ana at. the same time to let him down easy. "It Is still apparent that there can be no tnendly relations between the two coun tries as long as Egan is there. A telegram from Washington says: The attention of Assistant Secretary What ton, of the State Department, was called to the report, and he said there was no prospect of this Government ceasing diplomatic relations with the Chilean Gov ernment. Mr. Eian would leave his Secre tary of Legation charge d'affairs at Santiago, and Consul McCreery would leave the Vice Consul In charge of the consular duties at Valparaiso. No cjaim for Indem nity on account of the attapk on American sailors has yet been made on the Chilea-i Government, that question having been re served for future consideration. BITTEN BY A MADMAN. A New Tork Police Officer's Desperate Struggle "With a Lunatic Nevt Yobk, April 14. Special A brawny, well-built man of medium size entered the Elizabeth street station to-day and said he was sick. "What's that in your hand?" the Sergeant at the desk asked him. "My best friend," the man answered, holding up a prayerbook. Thinking he was merely a religious crank, the Sergeant told him to go home, and the man started for the door. On reaching it he began to froth at the mouth, and, dropping the prayerbook, with a roir like that of a wild beast he sprang upon Thomas Kavanagh, the doorman, who ttood near. The sudden attack brought Kavanagh to the floor, on which he fought for his life with the madman, who bit and tore him with his teetii. The Sergeant tried in vain to pull the infuriated lunatic from his prey, and it took the united efforts of six police men to separate him from Kavanagh and bind him. The lunatic proved to be James Mallory. When taken to Bellevue Hospital his case was diagnosed as one of acute mania. Kav anagh had bis wounds cauterized, but is in fear of blood poisoning, for the madman's froth entered some of the wounds. DISPLACED BY YANKEES. An English lnter-Occanic Syndicate Loses Its Charter in Honduras. Honduras, April 14. The English syn dicate holding the concession for the build ing of the Inter-Oceanie Railway across Honduras petitioned for an extension of time, their contract having lapsed March 12, and the Government refused to grant it. The syndicate has been notified of the re vocation of the contract The Government has, however, made a definite concession for the same plan to American parties, heade1 by W. S. Valen tine and B. Van Auken, Jr.,' of New York, to whom is ceded the local road now exist ing, an immense tract of land aud other valuable grants. The meeting of special envoys from each of the Central American republics, sitting at Salvador, has made treaties of firm friendship, thus assuring ab solute peace in Central America. "WTHIBY IN THE WEST. From Six to Eighteen Inches of Snow on the Level In Localities. Chicago, April 14. Long distance tele graphing was rendered impossible to-day. To an almost unprecedented extent the cir cuits stretching from Chicago, and noted among electricians as among those of great est continuous length in the world, became af- fected last night and this morning by the furious wind, snow and rain storm, which to a great degree seemed to cover the larger portion of the United States. Iowa i in the lead, with 18 inches of snow on the level From Cleveland to Denver was apparently the worst stretch, and in the vast region between the two cities named the wrecked and bedraggled iron strings, judged from results in Chi cago, were in nearly a comatose condition. In order to maintain communication at all, such circuits as exhibited any life were ordered cut up into fractions of their usual length, and with extra relays of operators an unequal struggle was waged with the elements. In Chicago to-day there was a heavy snow and sleet storm and high wind. The storm raged with unabated fury all night and this morning. At Boone, la., there are nearly 18 inches of snow on the level. Sleighs are out and the sleighing is good. A terrific snow storm blocked the railroads for 30 miles south of Albert Lea, Minn. Drifts were from 6 to 10 feet deep. MR, O'LEARY'S CLOSE CALL. AN ECHO OF THE CONVENTION PLACES HIM NIGU UNTO DEATH. A Surgeon's Keen Blade Flashed Before His Eyes Startling Story of a Bystander Who Claims to Have Witnessed What Came Near Being a Tragedy. Hakbisbubg, April 14. Special The Patriot will print the following to-morrow: Few who saw Timothy O'Leary, Jr., of Pittsburg, speedily move down the aisle on the left wing of the Opera House Wednes day afternoon during the proceedings of the convention were awaro of the cause. Burly Tim knew his life was in danger, and for a moment he stood within an arm's length of death. Tim was exceedingly offensive throughout the proceedings of the conven tion, and when John C Bane, of Washing ton, broke out in his protest Tim hurried to his seat to annoy him. Tim at once picked a quarrel with some friends of Mr. Bane nearby. Ho used insulting language and threatened to knock one gentleman down, collating him as he spoke. A bystander thus relates what followed: "A sedate gentleman who had been stand ing unmoved went to the rescue of bis friend. Tim threatened him also, and raised his fist. Quick aslightning tho now enraged and insulted man drew from his pocket a case of Instruments for he was a surgeon from a Western county took out a lance with a long, keen blade; put back tho case Into his pocket, and with set lips walked close to Tim. 'One'stroke from you,' he said to Tim, and the blade flashed before Tim's eyes like a death summons, "and yon may have this. The surgeon raised his arm, and in another moment would have struck what must have been a fatal blow had not Tim sprung away and ran down the aisle, pale and trembling." Of course the surgeon afterward regretted his anger and was glad he had not been tempted into making the fatal stroke, but he does" not want to see O'Leary again. And O'Leary doesn't want to see him. HE'S A BIG THIEF. Broker Brown, of Toronto, Got Away With More Than Was Suspected. Toeouto, April 14. Special. The stealings of Broker A. G. Brown are much larger than they at first. appeared, and a street rumor has it that they will exceed 8150,000. His reckless career was brought to an end by Judge Senkler, of St Cath erine's, who, in looking over the Government blue book on banks and -banking, noticed that he was not credited with 60 shares in the Bank of Montreal which he had purchased. On inquiry it was found that the shares had been transferred by Brown to himself on a forged power of attorney. The bank sent for Brown. He acknowledged the steal, and two hours were given him to -return the money, $23,000. This he did, and soon after left for Montreal, whence he went to New York. It is understood he afterward left for Mexico to escape extradition. He forged the name of his brother to get a transfer of some stock in a loan company, and raised money on them at a city bank. He forged his grandmother's name to obtain funds, and also a power of attorney to ulake use of the stock held by his father. In one month recently, his bank account ran up to $900,- 000. He was a young man, and with his wife of a year moved in the first circles of society. - A SCHOOL BROKEN DP BY SNAKES. The Heat From the Stove Arouses a Regu lar Swarm of Reptiles. New London, Conn., April 14. Special The teacher and pupils of the Chestnut Hill school, in Montville, had a fright from snakes the other day. School opened for the summer term, and all went well till a little girl screamed and rushed out She had seen a snake peeping out of the plastering near the teacher's desk. The teacher thought she was mistaken and ill, and sent her home. Half an hour later a small boy saw a snake crawl out of a hole near the'ehimney, and killed it with a slate frame. The fire in the chimney started up more snakes. " Pretty soon a half-awakened rep tile, five feet long, tumbled out of a hole in the ceiling and landed with a great thump just in front of the children's seats. The teacher stood on top of her desk till the big boys had settled his account Then more snakes began to tumble down, and the whole school, big boys and all, took to 'flight The teacher refused to enter the building again, and the Chestnut Hill School term is ad journed without date.

Finally, her hus band asked for some quinine, when, enticed by the devil, she lost her self-control, and gave him the strychnine capsule in a glass of water. She then kissed him and went to her bedroom and put pillows over her head, in order. not to hear his screams when dying. Shstsaidshe had never been unfaithful, but she was in debt and wanted her husband's life insurance, amounting to $2,500.

SOME OTHER FBATJDS ON THE TAXPAYER SPXCUIi TELEORAPmc tXTTEB. Bureau or The' DisrATOH, ( Wabhihotoit, D. C. April 14. t If the row in the House this afternoon over certain publications' the Congressional Record result in even a partial correction of one of the greatest of abuses of the public in connection with sessions ot Congress, the two hours of wrangling will have been well spent At all times an immense amount of matter goes into the JBecord which is wholly trivial. It is of no importance as an official record, for its very mass submerges the only features of importance. Larger men in a larger day would be con tent with a mere preservation of the work as it is finished, but instead of this kernel of wheat being placed alone where it can be found, it is hidden in a vast bulk of chaff of motions, counter-motions, amendments, colloquies wrangles, filibustering and "speeches" to such a voluminous extent that a special building will be necessary in the near future merely to hold an edition or two of the Congressional Record. The vol umes have doubled and trebled and quad rupled within a few years. A Cost That Buns Into Millions. The expense of all this useless printing runs into the millions. The cost of the por tion that is important and necessary would be inconsiderable. The abuse is one in w Eich no other parliamentary body would have to engage, and which no other people would endure. The grotesque things that have been published under the "leave to print" privilege are beyond description. The privilege is one which has run wild of late years. A conspicuous illustration is that of a poem printed by a curious char acter (Downing, of Colorado, I think it was), who was a member of the House a few years ago. He secured a few minutes to speak on some question, an dusked leive to extend his remarks in the Record. The next day that delectable publication came out al most filled with an epic poem of a semi religious or mythical character. He had not been able to induce a publisher to bring out his poem, and so had it printed for nothing in the Record, and bought few thousand copies of it at the low price at which portions of the paper are sold to mem bers and distributed them broadcast No Trick That Cannot Be Improved. Even this was hardly a trick so astound ing as that discovered to-day, of Tom John son, of Cleveland; Stone, of Kentucky; Washington, of Tennessee; Fithian, of Illi nois, and one, or two others, who conspired together, and at intervals had portions of Henry George's book assailing the pro tective tariff printed, two, or three chapters at once, until all but three concluding chapters were published. The book is copyrighted, and is sold at a good price. The gentlemen named may now gather in one pamphlet the publications in the Record, and at a comparatively small price flood their districts and States with this free trade argument I fallacious, contradictory and incompIot8;iikS:Terything that comes from the band of that author. But great as. is the abuse of all this un necessary peinting", another evil is induced by it that is greater, and this, in turn, again contributes to the printing abuse. Members talk intolerably, simply because they know they can get every word they say into print, and often a thousand times more than they say. Members resort to all sorts of expedients to get themselves into the Record that they may distribute it among their constituents to show how clever and indus trious and conspicuous they are in Con gress. A Reform That May Result. It is possible that the performance of members in publishing the free trade volume by Henrv George may result in a closer watch of the matter that goes into the Recprd, and it may even lead to a step advocated now by nearly all Senators, aud also by many members, to exclude from the Record all matter uttered on the floor. But doubtless it will be long vean before mem bers of either House will agree to the only sensible course, which is to abolish the printing of anything except that which is necessarv to preserve a complete record of the official acts of Congress. Say what one may ot the share taken by Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, in the publica tion of Mr. George's free trade argument, he has just accomplished something that may be of vast benefit to a great majority of the citizens of theJDistrict, and which will meet'with the hearty sympathy of the peo ple of the whole country. Under a resolu tion introduced by him, he, Mr. Washing ton, of Tennessee, and Mr. Wadsworth, of New York, are appointed a committee to in vestigate the methods of making assess ment of taxesin the District Tho Liveliest Kind of a Flatter. I will venture to assert that the announce ment ot this purpose and this committee, with Johnson at its head, has caused a livelier flutter of alarm among District officials, wealthy citizens and wealthy Con gressmen owning property in the District than any other that has been introduced for years. While there is favoritism every where in the assessment of taxes, I doubt if there is so much anywhere else as here, and the amount of vacant land in mid city that is held for higher and higher prices, and" which pays but 3 trifling tax, is enormous. Mr. Johnson believes in a single tax, and that on the land. He does not believe in putting a penalty on improvements. What with this, and what with his honesty of pur pose and determination to go to the bottom oi this abuse of favoritism in assessments, an investigation may be expected that will ex ceed in liveliness of detail even that of the Pension Bureau, which is almost matchless in its petty scandals and lack of almost everything" that goes to make up an honest and well-disciplined Government office. Final Consummation of a Bijj Deal. The great deal of the real estate syndicate with the Government of the United States, known as the Bock Creek National Park speculation, after a long and arduous tussle was to-day finally consummated by the of ficial act of the President, who approved the ridiculously inconsistent values fixed by the appraisers. Wealthy men and million aire syndicates owning park lands have got rid ot worthless acres and have enhanced tenfold the value of the acres they have re maining. The Government has secured for a nation al park a miserable little muddy stream which makes a new channel for itself every freshet, a few tamely picturesque banks and rocks and trees, and compels the people of the District to pay half the expense of pur- fthaRtnir nn irnnrftvinfr t.Ma 'TW.ftnnal" chasine and improving this "national1 park, and all for the benefit of wealthy men and syndicates whose property, a great deal of it, is taxed much below that of the mass, who only own their one little home to each family, and who will bear the burden of taxation. District Citizens Used to Getting Stuck. The Government "stuck" the people of the,District 51,000,000 for a water tunnel, on which 52,000,000 was spent before it was abandoned. It has already "stuck" these same tax-ridden people for half, the pur chase and maintenance of a "garden" for few monkeys and other beasts, which was mainly urged only by "scientifio" pets of the Gov ernment, and now these same people are "stuck" again 51,000,000 for the mere pur pose of a park, and the improvement of which will cost anywhere from 510,000,000 to 515,000,000, half of which, also, the District will be forced to pay. The District already has a greater park area than any other city of the world, and Its citizens are already taxed higher than any other, yet, while greater burdens are being constantly imposed, and in the form of "national" schemes, there is a strong feeling in Congress against the Govern ment's continuing to pay any part of the taxes ot the District; and it may be ex pected that just about the time the burden of "payment of half of the expenses by the District grows intolerable to the citizens, Congress will shift the whole of the ex penses to the shoulders of the people resi dent within a government territory in the administration of whose affairs no citizens except real estate syndicates, railroads, gas monopolies and the like have a voice. M'KINLEY A FAVORITE OF THE NEW YORKERS WHO DONT WANT HARRISON NOMINATED. A Conference Held at Cornelius Bliss Honse Counts the President Oat Mr. Bliss Suggested as a Good Banning Mate for Ohio's Present Executive. New York, Aprit 14. Special. Possi bly the most momentous conference held in New York State since the Presidental cam paign of 1888 was that which occurred to night, at the home of Cornelius N. Bliss. For a week it had beeir'known to a few politicians that Mr. Bliss had sent out invitations for the assembly. Secretary Elkins, on his last visit from Washington, conferred with Mr. Bliss, and as a result Senator Hiscock, a Harrison man, came from Washington to-day to see how the land laid. In the first place, all who attended the meeting were opposed to the renomination ot President Harrison. All the events in New York State for the last three years were gone over, and those present, who look at Warner Miller as the greatest man on earth, proclaimed their animosity to the President in rounded periods and positive statements. After Harrison had been satisfactorily disposed of, the gathering discussed the candidate most available under the circum stances. All believed that even the shadow of Mr. Blaine, if it could be nominated, could win, but the general opinion was that Mr. Blaine really was out of the fight; that his physical strength would not stand the wear and tear of a great campaign. Then all turned with unan imous consent to Governor McKinley, of Ohio. All were satisfied with McKinley and ready to jump in and work for him, whether the Governor liked it or not Naturally the name of the running mate for the Governor was discussed, and it was none other than that of Cornelius N. Bliss himself. It was the opinion that Mr. Miller and ex-Senator Piatt would unite' on such a ticket, even though Mr. Piatt is not accustomed to following the lead of Mr. Miller. But with him it is anything to beat Harrison. Warner Miller and Congressman Burleigh returned to the Fifth Avenue Hotel a little after midnight They were mute as oysters, and declined even to say who had been as sociated with them in this important con ference. i THE WAR STILL ON. Wyoming Cattlemen Say It Will Be Waged Against Rustlers to tho Point of Exter minationGovernment Reports From the Scene of the Surrender. k 'Washington, April 14. The following telegram contains the latest information re ceived at the War Department relative to the troubles in Wyoming: Omaha, April 14. To Major General Schofleld, Washington, D, O.: In obedience to his Instructions, Colonel Van Horn, with three troops of cavalry, left for McKinney at 2 o'clock the morning of April 13. and arrived at the "T. A, Ranch" at "6-A5, where he received the surrender, without bloodshed, of Major Wolcott and 45 men, with 45 lines, 41 revolvers, about 5,000 rounds of ammunition and 46 horses. He holds them now at Fort McKinney as prisoneis until further orders from me. The Governor of Wyoming has requested that thee prisoners be sent to Douglas, Wya, and says, owing to the excitement In Northern Wyoming, he will not at this time go to that section. Unless otherwise in structed I will send the prisoners to Doug las, v yo., unaer a suitaDie guard. John B. Brooke, Brigadier General Commanding. A special from Gillette, Wyo.,' says the war on the Powder river seems not to have abated. A cattleman from near the scene of action arrived at Gillette last evening. He says he is on his way out of the country, bnt itis presumed he is looking for rein forcements from this section of the country. He does not give any discouraging news from his Bide, but says that this will be a fight for extermination and will be kept up until the rustlers are driven from Wyom ing. The situation seems uncertain from dis patches yesterday, except that each side is making itself sure and awaiting a battle. It is reported by Burlington stage this even ing that the cattlemen are surrounded at the Tisdale ranch and closely pressed. A num ber of cowboys and cattlemen are in Gil lette, all well armed and mounted, appar ently going somewhere, but are quiet and no information can be obtained from them. NOT CALLED A COMBINE, Bat the Western Coal Dealers Might as Well Acknowledge the Corn. Chicago, April 14. Special It was not exactly a combine of the leading anthra cite coal dealers of the West which was formed at the Wellington Hotel to-day, but it is reasonable to believe that such verbal agreement as will steady the present un settled condition of the business was made. The meeting was between the leading dealers of hard coal of this city and those of the larger lake ports. It was held behind closed doors. The meeting was called by Mr. Merriweatber by letters which he sent out some weeks ago. The results of the meetinz are to be re ported to a meeting to be held in New York April 21. One member said no notification had been given to the gentlemen assembled for the recent rise in freight rates of coal, but that a protest would most certainly be made. The object of the meeting was to formulate some plan of action by the West ern coal dealers. On account of the Bead ing deal in the East, business in the West was badly demoralized, and it was necessary that something should be done. No combi nation would be ma'de, but some uniform plan of conducting business would probably be agreed upon. A SQDAW SEEKS DIV0E0E. Sonth Dakota's Civilizing Influence Extend ing to Neighboring Indians. St. Paul, Minn., April 14. An Indian was in the city to-day investigating the right of his sister to secure a divorce after the manner of the "palefaces." This is a novel case, from the fact that there is no record of an Indian asking for divorce, at least so far as application to the civil laws is concerned.

DEEMING- THE DEMON Far Worse Than His Very Blackest Pictures Have Been Painted; DRAMATIC TABLEAUX OF- CEIME. He Couldn't Begin, to Conceal His Identity WWle He Went About CAEEIING HIS DEAD WIPE'S CANARY SPECIAL TELEQHAM TO TRX DISFATCB.1 San Francisco, April 14. Australian papers which reached here to-day contain whole pages of startling developments in the Deeming murder case, which is the most sensational ever known in the col onies. The reporters of Kangaroo-land evi dently lack the power of seeing picturesque detail, for some of the most thrilling scenes in this great story of hideous crime are dis missed with a few lines. However, there are many significant facts that were not touched upon in cablegrams, and that throw a flood of light npon Deeming's character and show him to be an adventurer of un surpassed nerve, who is at the same time as sentimental as a schoolgirl Fancy a red-banded murderer, trayeling about Australia after he had murdered Jb young wife, carrying her canary in a-fflt cage, and fancy the same man not one month Frederick Bayley Deeming. after the last in his series of atrocious crimes, writing ardent love letters to a young woman whom he' had induced to give him a promise of marriage. Even mails were too slow for this infat uated lover, for he worked wires and sent repeated dispatches full of love and longing. Things Beyond the Imagination. Nor can one imagine a man who had done his wife to death giving her jewelry to a young girl and making the grim comedy more complete by swearing she was the only woman he had ever loved. Nor can one imagine a fugitive, seeking to hide a great crime, indulging in bluster and brag on the street which took him to the gold diggings in West Australia. This latter shows that fear of discovery could not eradicate the natural traits of the vulgar adventurer who delighted to parade jewelry and-tell lies ot his wealth. If Deeming had thrown some quicklime over the body of the Welsh wife whom he murdered at Windsor, Victoria, probably he would have lived to wed and murder several other women. The stench from the fire place in the sleeping room at Windsor cot tage, however, led the owner to make an investigation, and after about two hours' work with pick and shovel, constables re moved the hearthstone. Thls done, they encountered a slate slab which was ce mented in., j It was held in position by a compact mass of cement, and underneath lay portions of a nude- body. When they had broken np the cement and detached some portion of it, they iound it concealed the corpse of a woman in an advanced state of decomposition. A Corpse In a Cramped-TTp Place. The body had been squeezed into a space about 18 inches wide by 2 feet 6 inches in length. The knees were forced up over the abdomen; the left hand rested under the chin; the right arm was crossed over the body, and in the skull, trom which the skin and ljair had completely disappeared, was a large aperture, into which a man mfcht thrust three fingers. A deep cut was also apparent in the throat. It was evident that the victim had been struck by some heavy instrument and afterward her throat cut The work'of walling the woman's body in masonry was done very skilfully, and but for failure to use to some means of quick decomposition it would probably never have been found. Naturally, one would think a man who has committed such a crime would have freed himself of every object connecting him with his victim, and would have put an ocean between himself and Australia. But Deeming was not an ordinary criminal. He evidently believed in the virtue of his masonry work. He went to pnt np at a hotel in Melbourne. He had a large amount of luggage. An object which attracted much attention and gave a most valuable clew to the police in tracking him was the gilt bird cage containing the murdered woman's canary. A Really Tell-Tale Canary. The fact that he lugged this bird around, and would not trust it to anyone, furnished as good a tracer as did the enormous pair of opera glasses which Murderer Maxwell bought in St Louis after killing Preller, and which permitted the police to track him straight, to the Australian steamer that left 'Frisco. Deeming only staid a few days in Mel bourne. Then he went to Sydney and to Bathurst, and from there back to Melbourne, where he took a steamer for West Australia. .While in Sydney, scarcely a month after he had Killed his wile, he advertised ina ma trimonial agency paper. He reconsidered his purpose, apparently, as he did not follow this up but on the steamer to Sydney he became acquainted with Miss Eounsefell, of Bathurst, not 19 years old. Deeming was a persuasive talker, and soon induced her to promise to marry him. Before Sydney had been reached William had been tolerably communicative about hi position and affairs, and, strangely enough, he seems to have told the truth in many particulars. About the other facts of his story there isagrimhumor literally stupefy ing by the light of after events. The On y Girl He Ever Loved. He remarked over and over again that he had long desired to meet a nice, amiable girl, whom he could love. He had never cared for women before, aud till be met her he had never contemplated matrimony. He went to Bathurst with the girl The upshot was the two became engaged, and William sealed the compact by giving her three very handsome rings and a brooch. The callous, hardened character of the man has been expanded on, but there is some thing appallingly savage in the fact that these presents had been worn by a woman whom he hacked to deaih weeks before. When the murderar reached Perth, West Australia, he sent ardent letters and tele grams to his betrothed, telling her to join him. She had known him onlyas Swanson. He had told her be was going to West Aus tralia to accept a position as engineer. For several, weeks the girl delayed the Wgr marriage. She was not prepared, her health was bad and she did not see the necessity for haste. But his letters became more and more pressing, and so, at the be ginning of March, she decided to make the trip. He had by this time got employment at Southern Cross, and of the last two letters the girl received, one contained a route to be taken to the diggings, and the other an order for 20 to pay traveling expenses. A Most Dramatic Situation. On March 10 the girl left her sister's house in Bathurst She reached Melbourne all right, and there met a young man she knew, and while -walking the street with him for an hour before the steamer sailed she heard newsboys calling the details of the atrocious murder at Windsor, and her companion, at her wish, bonght a paper. His first intima tion that all was not right was brought about by the lady swooning on his arm. and when she had been restored to conscious ness the explanation was sufficiently start ling. She had recognized in the description and portrait of the murderer the very man she was on the way to marry in Perth, It would scarcely be possible to conceive a rr ''amatie incident Miss Bonnse- fe) $Sa. 'Tnunicated with the police.. a'MjC, ""Co -nas oi detectives tne YJAlUrQt O j0 . and ais0 the rings. lv 'rr,.'jQ ''er by send ing her a dispw. " cS'j,j e for her to go home, but he g. if y mat ion that he was in the hands- 'the police. Deeming's arrest and his contradictory stories, as well as the evidence of his mur ders in England and his long trail of swin dles from the Cape of Good Hope to Aden and Australia, have been fully covered by cable. Deeming's picture, obtained from England, is misleading. His face is older, harder and smooth-shaven except for a ginger-colored mustache. His jaw is square and massive, and his gray eyes cold and shrewd. Deeming Called Perfectly Sane. Aeablegram from Melbourne says: The official inspector of lunacy has made an ex amination of Deeming to ascertain his men tal condition. Among the other sim ulations of insanity made by Deem ing is his profession that he has no recollection of events that have occurred in his past life. During the examination he betrayed himself several times, his answers to certain questions showing there was nothing wrong with his memory. This fact, together with others, led the Inspector to make a report declaring that Deeming is perfectly sane. BOTTLING UP BAD AIR. Experts Testing the Ventilation of the Sen ate Chamber Several Specimens of the Air Taken Away to Be Investigated by Agricultural Department Experts. Washington, April 14. Special While the Senate was engaged this after noon a partisan discussion of the proposi tion to increase the number of Court of Claims Justices, two men were observed moving around the chamber, one carrying a large bottle and the other a pair of bellows. The strangers were "experts" from the Agri cultural Department, who have been de tailed to make an analysis of the air breathed in the Senate chamber. The experts placed a large bottle in various parts of the hall, and rubber tubing with bellows attachment was inserted into the neck of the bottle. By means of the bellows the bottle was pumped full of Senatorial air, the tubing withdrawn, and a rubber cap placed over the mouth of the bottle. Several bottles of Senatorial air were thus obtained. Many of the Senators, who were not par ticularly interested in the legal and consti tutional remarks of Senators Daniel, Hoar, Turpie and Palmer, clustered around the ex perts. The first bottle was filled immedi ately in the rear ot the seat occupied by Senator Vance. Another was filled just behind Senator Stewart's desk, and the third bottle was filled in the aisle near the seat of Senator Per kins, of Kansas. Many of the Senators, the venerable Captain Bassett and nearly all of the Senate pages were interested spectators during the operation. The gallery occupants wondered what the men and the bottles were doing. The analysis is due to the intimation frequently heard at the Capitol that the air breathed in the Senate and House chambers is impure. CONFIDENT JERRY. The Bookless Socrates Defies All Combines Ha Is Sore of Being Returned to Congresi Some Alliance Surprises May Be Xooked Xor In the Sonth, He Says. WASHTS-GTOlf, April 1. Special Hon. Jerry Simpson, Alliance Congressman from the Seventh District of Kansas, is nothing if not modest In answer to an in quiry as to the truth of a report that a straightout Democratic ticket would be nominated in his district this forenoon, thus destroying the strength of the Third party, the sockless Socrates says: It ts all humbur. I ran (the first time against Mr. James R. Hallowell, a popular Republican, who polled more than 1,000 Democratic votes. His vote was 20,181, an 1 mine 32,603. Of coarse the Alliance and the Democrats combined. There are perhaps in tne aissnci. d.wu .uemocracic votes, ana, should the Democrats nominate a straight ticket, we have nothing to tear. Mr. Hallo- well will not be a candidate aj-ain. and since the last election the strength of mv party in the district has grown fully 20 per cent. The same may be said of it throughout the State. Then, too, I came here without anv repu tation. Since then I have not been idle, and 1 believe I am not now unknown, nor am. I, among my people at least unfavorably known. I am confident that I will be sent back to Congress, and I have no fears of either a straight Republican or straight Democratic ticket, nor the two combined. Generally, I may say, the Alliance is on a grand boom. We will make large sains In the West, and it is my judgment also that we will also surprise the whole country in the result in the South. The Alliance will cut more of a figure in the next Congress than it does in this, I assure you. LESLIE KEELEY SUED. A Disappointed Bl-Chlorlde Patient Wants His Money Back and More.

Her Amicable Diplomatic Relations With the United State3 ONCE H0EE W OLD-TIME SHAPE. Tie Indemnity of 125,000 Franta for th.8 Italians' Eelatives ACCEPTED, BUT WITHOUT PREJUDICE WASHrsGTOjr, April 14. Inquiry In this city confirms the statement coming from Borne that a complete and amicable settlement has been reached in the inter national difficulties between the United States and Italy growing out of the New Orleans tragedy. It appears that the Gov ernment of the United States has volun tarily taken the initiative in closing the, breach, and without committing itself to the recognition of any claim for indemnity, but simply as an act of justice and from motives of comity, has placed in the bands of the Marquis Imperial!, the Italian Cfiarge d Affaires, the sum of 125.QO0 francs, or $25,000, for distribution among the heirs of the three Italians who were killed at New Orleans and who were found to be sub jects of the Italian Government It is understood that the money was taken from the annual appropriation of 580,000 to enable the President to provide for unforseen emergencies in the diplomatic and consular service, so tha't it will be un necessary to call upon Congress for a speci fic appropriation. By this action on the part of the United States Government the disagreeable com plications in the relations of the two Gov ernments, it is believed, have been re moved, and within a short time the diplo matic relations between them will be re stored to the amicable status existing before the New Orleans tragedy, Minister Porter returning to Borne ana: a Minister from Italy taking up his residence in Washing ton. Fall Text of the Correspondence. The full text of the correspondence on the subject is given in the following letters: Depaetmest op State, 1 WASHI3OT03T, April 12. Snt I congratulate you that the difficulty existing between the United States and Italy, erowinpr out of the lamentable massa cre at New Orleans in March of last year, Is about to be terminated.

The Italian Government will distribute this sum among the families of the victims. While the Injury was not inflicted directly by the United State, the President never theless feels that It is the solemn duty, as well as the great pleasure, of the National Government to pay a satisfactory Indemnity. Moreover, the President's Instructions carry with them the hope that the transactions of to-day may efface all memory of the unhappy tragedy: that the old and friendly relations of the United States and Italy may be re stored, and that nothing untoward may ever again occur to disturb their harmomou3 friendship. I avail myself of this occasion to assure you that your prolonced serviceat this capi tal as unarge d'Anaires was marKed or every quality that render you grateful and acceptable to the Government of the United States, and to renew to you the assurance of my high consideration.

Judicial Steps Not to Be Prejudiced. The King does not hesitate to accept this Indemnity without prejudice to the Judicial steps which it may be proper for the parties to take, and, considering the redress ob tained sufficient, he sees no reason why the relations between the two governments which relations should faithfully reflect the sentiments of reciprocal esteem, and sym pathy that animate the two nations should not again become intimate, cordial and friendly, as they have traditionally been in the past, and as it Is to be hoped they will ever be In the future.
