WAHHINOTON , February 3. The president
to-day transmitted to thu house the following
message :
To tlio House cf Itepreiontativoa : I take
especial pleastiro In laying before congress
the generous olfer made by Mrs. Grant to
give to the government In perpetual trust , the
Hwords nnd military ( nnd civil ) testimonials
belonging to Gen. Grant. A copy of thodeod
of trust and of thu letter addressed to mo by
William H. y underbill , will axtilam the
nature nnd motive of this offer. The apprecia
tion of Gon. Grant's achievements , nud recog
nition of hla just fame , have in part taken thn
uliapo of numerous mementoes nnd gifts
which , while dear _ to him , possess for tlio na
tion exceptional interest. Thpiu relics of
great historical vnluo have passed into the
hands of another whoso considerate action
restored the collection to Mrs. Grant , as n
llfo trust , on condition that on
the dentil of General Grant 01 sooner , nt Mra
< I rant's option , it shall become _ Uio property
of tlio go\ eminent an set forth _ in thn accom
panying papers. In the exorcise of the option
thus given her , Mrs. Grunt elects that the
i trust shall forthwith determine ) , nnd asks thnt
the government designate n suitable place of
deposit nud n responsible custodian for the
collection. The nature of this gift and tha
vnluo of the relics , which were generously
given by privnto citizens , joinec to n high
sense of public regard which animates Mis ,
Grant , have thus placed nt the disposal of the
Fpvornmont demand a full and signal recogni
tion on behalf of thu nation at tlio hands of
its representatives. I , therefore , ask congress
to take suitable action to accept the trust nnd
provide for Its ECCVUO ctutody , at the same
tlmo Qrocordlng the appreciative gratitude
ot thu people of the United
btatcs to trie donors. In this
connection I may pertinently ndvort to the
pending legislation in the senate and house of
representatives , looking ; to the nations ! recog
nition of Gen , Grant's ' eminent services by
providing means for his restoration to the
army on the retired list. That congress by
taking such action to the almost uniersal de
sire of the people of this nation , is evident ,
and I earnestly urge the mating of an act
himllar to the senate bill No. 2,530 , which ,
while not interfering with the constitutional
prerogative of the appointment , will enable
the president in his discretion to nominate
General Grant as n ponornl on the retired list.

I'lTTsncnii , February . ' ) . The Ulimniclo tol-
this ntternomi inys it hna como to the
knowcklgo of some secret aRcnta here that the
socialists have stored arms and djnnmlto in
tliia city , and are ready for an outbreak and
attack mi the capitalists. Men from the
Hocking valley and clspuhoro an < eaid to bo
here , ready for the businoes. Sensational do-
vulupmentt are expected.
The publication ot the article has created
considerable alnrm. The paper ns < etts : "For
two months n Hnsainn and two I'nglish spins
ha\o boon at , nork In J'itttlrari ; and uclmty ,
imuoa\orinK to learn who are In sympittiy
hare with the Irish dynamiters. Httsburff ,
it is stated , has been for a long while ecarco of
n largo rorenuo of dynamiters. The men in
the mills and mines nro nai'd to bellovo in the
doctrine of nihilism , pro alleged to have boon
liberal in piviup. It is then doctored that at
least two 1'ittaburg men , who arc famous the
country over , and who are worth millions of
dollars , have furnished money in considerable
sums to Irish and French radicals and
to German extreme liberals , who
used ths funds in the Gorman raichstag
elections. This money , the artlclo sajs , was
evidently not Intended to go into the dyna <
mite branch of politics , but a portion of it ha ?
drifted there , ne\erthele9 , having gone from
the hands of one branch of the extremists to
the other. The statement is made that within
the past three weeks , from a thousand to fif
teen hundred thousand guns mid revolvers
ha\o been received by the socialistic sympa
thizers in the city , Some of these munitions ,
it is stated , came accompanied by money from
CannJn.othora from western points and others
from eastern cities. A large quantity of dynamite -
namito had also been obtained , part being
manufactured in 1'ittslmrg by experienced dy
namiters. It is pointed out there are many
workmgmon out of omplopinoat among
whom much dissatisfaction and discontent
exist. Then follows the statement to the
eifect that the local solialists have gathered
kindred spirits from Chicago , from the Hocking -
ing Valley , from the anthracite and bitumi
nous coal mines in the weatem part of the
state. These men are stated to have been
drifting into the city , singly and in pairs for a
month or more , ostensibly for work , but In
reality to take a hand In any movement for
plunder or revolt against law that may bo or
canized. The article continues : "Theso mon
complain that they cinuot find \vork , that
they are suffering from hunger and that on
this plea claim they are justified in the
movement against the mill owners
and other capitalists. Several of the latter
have been warned , or ha\e discovered tha
condition of affairs in part and have notafied
the police , That there is an uneasy , restless
feeling among them is so truu that it can bo
readily proven. The police have not been
idle , but they have no results as yet. In this
movement there aru all sorts of elements , the
German , Kussian , Italian , Swedish , Swiss
and French socialists and revolutionists and
Irish dynamiters , who have all joined thsir
forces. There are English interests to be
reached here by the Irieh dynamiters and the
Knglish representatives too , and the
latter know it. A month ego the
local socialists were at awords points
with the anch.irchists pure and
simple. Now they are warm friends and al
lies , and have met together in more than one
secret gathering. The loaders of the move
ment have been looking for some pretext for
im outbreak. No later than Saturday the
city had a narrow escape fiomj just the kind
of thing these men desired. The natural pas
explosion caused hot indignation among the
workingmen , and had the projected attempt
to tear up the gas pipes been made , It would
have led to more herious trouble than seemed
from the surface indications to ho possible.
The names and other facts are known , and the
proper authorities can ha\o vheso names and
those not already learnrd.
The Chronicle Telegraph earnestly protests
that the above statements are not a sensa
tional oxnggeiation , but , on thecontiary , aori-
ons truths. Staub and Fricke , two ot the
most prominent socialists In the city , were
reeii to night relatuo to the story. Fricko
assumed a mysterious air , when approached ,
and refused to talk on tbo subject. Staub
said that the society was weak in thin city ,
but ho expected to see it gu-atly strengthened
in n few weeks. He admitted that Carl Ober-
man of Now York , was in the city for some
time for the purpose of orcani/ine the interna
tionalists. Further than this nothing could bo
earned from Staub ,

Spociitl telegram to the BEE.
SrniNarlKU ) , III. , February ! ! . There is
much speculation and anvioty over the caucus
of the democratic members of the two houses
of the legislature appointed for to-morrow
night to nominate a candidate for United
States senator. Carter Harrison's friends are
determined either to p tpono or burst the
democratic legislative caucus , which they will
not bo able to control to-morrow night. There
are unexpected change * between now and
then. The destruction of this ciucus may bo
wrought by Hatrisou Instructing about ten o
his men to refusu to go to the caucus unless it
is postponed until I'll Jay night , when an
other excuse could bo manufactured for
still further postponing it. The friends of
Colonel Morrison , who has the bulpe
have dropped on to Harrison's game , and will
insist upon the caucus mooting to-morrow
night , trusting to parley , discipline , and
plentiful promises to whip in Harrison's kick
ers. Harrison wonts It free for all and his
followers are ready to burst the caucus to HO-
curu it. His "phalanx" from Chicago his
arrived and the city hall crowd are expected
this afternoon. There is no prospect of a
full democratic caucus to-morrow night or at
any other time. The rumor that Genera !
Black has made an alliance with Harrison Is
not credited. The republican house caucus
will meet this afternoon and appoint a com
mittee to act with the senate committee and
call tbo United States senatorial caucus for
Saturday.

LONDONi February 3. Considerable excitement -
ment to-day was produced by the announce
ment tint the friends of Cunningham , accused
of having caused the recent explosions in
London , arc already beginning to take slepi
for his rescue. Knrly this morning the police
noticed n man loitering in the vicinity of the
prison. They watched him closely mul finally
saw him put something in the letter box of
the governor of the prison. They arrested
him , The parcel was found to bo a paper on
which were a number of figures , The arrested -
rested man Bald his name was Goodyear , re
cently released from an Insane asylum. The
police claim to know him as an old bird , hav
ing served a term of imprisonment there.
The authorities think that Goody ear's action
in depositing the paper in the bov was simply
a ruse to learn what they have to contend
with in order to affect Cunningham's release
by blowing up the prison with dynamite and
giving the prisoners a chance to escape in the
confusion.

AND THE CNTTKD STATI3.
LONDON , February 3. A loader in this
evening's 1'all Mail Gnzctto , advocating a f o-
Htical alliance between ( treat Britain and the
United States attracts attention. The Ameri
can Republic Gazettu says , that now at last it
is beginning to have a policy. The doctrine of
complete isolation eo long maintained by
American statesmen has perished. Minister
Kasiou's presence and activity at the Berlin
conference on the Congo question must betaken
taken as n portent of things [ to come.
America will continue to exert a great and increasing -
creasing influence in the work
of pacifying Africa. The Romiblic ,
will ere long claim ndmittanca
into the European aropaRiis whenever deal
ing partaining'to the interest of the outside
bounchuies of the European continent ; . I'ng-
lands duty therefore is to make the moet of
this great fact Blood Is thicker than water.
The United States Is England's natural ally.
After the federation of the British Empire ,
there will remain for British statesmen no
task so comparable in importance to lliat of
an alliance between Great Britain and the
great republic which sprung from England's
loins. This alliance the article concludes ,
should be as close and useful to the two
great English speaking peoples as that be
tween Austria and Germany. '
