C. , April 3. ) Senator Cullom grasped the hand ot Presi dent Harrison yesterday for the first time In lour months. Many thing * which were of mutual interest to thorn both had happened In those four months ana yet they bad failed to meet. Secretary Blalno's letter of with drawal from tbe presidential field had maoo tbo senator an avowed candidate , and had materially changes ! the president's prospects lor ronomlnntlon. More recently the letter of Senator Cullom withdrawing from the presidential list had removed what Mr. Harrison' * friends regard as the last obsta cle in tbe way cf his icnomlnalion. While these things were happening tbo president and the senator saw nothing of each ether , nnd the failure to get together bczun to bo so marked that it led to tbe be lief that the rival presidential candidates had strained the relations between them. It happened that when they finally grasped hands yestordnj two other ex-presidential candidates were present , ono being Secretary Elaine and Ihe other Senator Allison. One of the callers remarked : "If xvc onlj- had Alger here wo might avoid the necessity tf the Minnonpolis convention. " It was a mere coincidence that tbo three cx-candldatcs came torcthcr nt the same time to sec the surviving candidates , and while they had not come with any purpose of -.love least , the situation was such thnlit was impossible to avoid good natured refer ence to tbe harmony which mutual couces- bians bad brought about. It was noticeable that President Harrison did most of Ibo trailing , r.s was lo be expected under i bo cir cumstances. The president took occasion to thank Senator Cullom for the graceful xvay in which the latter had spoken of the sails- factory manner In which the presi dent bad administered to the country and his party. Senator Allison remamed that there was such en epidemic of letters that be might write one himself , but as his presi dential candidacy bud not boomed very much of late ho feared the letter might be a gratuitous contribution. Politics In llliode Inland. Ex-Congressman Grosvcnor of Ohlc arrived here this afternoon from Rhode Island , where he has been participating in tbe campaign in tlmt little state. Ho says he never saw such nn exciting election con test. Tbe fight in Ohio in ISbi , and that in Indiana in 1SSS , were not markers when compared with tbo present canvass is Rhode Island. When asked what he thought of tbe outlook , General Grosvcnoi mid ho believed that Mr. Aldrich would succeed in carrying tbe legislature , but tbcro U much doubt about the result. He.publU.-nns feel not a little anxious. There are. ho says , something like 8,000 01 30,000' ' volcrs who are foreigners , whe have never heretofore been permitted to vote because of the nronerty qualification required ' quired of electors. This disqualification bus -been-removed and those citizens ivho-hcvo boon disqualified Irom the right of suffrage "because they were uot property holders will for tbe first time cost their votes at tbe com ing election. The apprehension among the rnpuolicans Is that the majority of this vote will bupport the democratic candidates anc the probabilities ure that ths citic : will poll an increasing democratic vote. Ic the country , however , tbo anticipation 01 Lope is that this will be overcome nnd tbt legislature will bo saved to tbo republicans Th- voting system is practically the sami that is in vogue in Ohio. Democrats Desperate. He says the republicans Imve hired evert ball in the state- und Ibo democrats linvi De-en nt great disadvnntnge in their inabilit.t to secure suitable places In which to bole their meetings.

SOLlHEltS MAKE A KICK Unlisted 3en ut Tort Sheridan Complain Almut Their H'-ilion * . CHICAGO , I1L , April a. Saturday was the first dav of the investigation of the mcs : nail at Fort Sheridan. Colonel Hcyl , inspector general of tbe De partment of thct Missouri , began the invcsll- pation yesterday morning , under orders from General Miles , aud devoted the greater part of the day to hearing complaints from the men. When ho had patiently listened Uvo or three hours to the same testimony from each ot Jortj- men of bad and insufficient food , bo became convinced that there must bo something wiong witb the management ol the mess hall. Colonel Heyl set up u r.ecret court , consisllng of himielf and his sienog- rapher. in Colonel Crofton's private ofllce. Ono by one the soldiers were admitled and each allowed to talre as much or little of the inspector's time ns ho wisned. Tbo majority of tbeai were recruits who bud f ecu but n few rooulhs' service. The complaints from these evidently did notitnpress the inspector , but when & grizzled veteran who had seen twenty years of service in every part of the country stated that the mess at Fort Sheridan was the worst ho had ever seen it IK ! not to be compared to a mess in the field in nethe service , even , the inspestor made a special nolo of bis complaint and it sesrncd to have great weight with him. " 1 want lo complnin of the quality and quantity of tbo food served in the mess hall , " was the almost invariable preface to each examination. "Tho fond is bad to be gin with.

It is cs easy to exaggerate as to underestimate the importance of the recent riots , the reverse of tbe covcrnment , nnd the withdrawal of the educational bill. If we believed but half re ports which have been published , we might suppose that revolution stood and waited at the gates of the Reichstag , II we listened to the optimistic talk of the ministerialists , we might fancy all was well in Vatcrland. Both conclusions would bo Foolish. The truth lies somewhere midway bet ween optimism and pessimism. While tbe situa tion is cUqulciing it bos not yet become so danrerous. That the prestige nnd potency of the existing system in Prussia have been -fleeted by tbe events of the last few weeks is unquestionable , but we are not on the brink of a political catastrophe. Socialism may have to wait some time yet before it will unscttlo the foundation of the empire. On the surface all is peaceful. The kaiser rides nud drives about cs usual. Politicians still talk and wrauglo , tbo streets arc filled with life aud bustling business. But if we Icol ; below tbe surface we Und more than one cause for uneasiness. The growth nnd strength of tbe social democrats , uncertainty resulting from the peculiarities of the young kaiser , Inn increasing cost of lood and rents in Berlin , prevailing distress among the working classes tna the ominous revival of the Jewish question are fuels which would tax the resources of even n stronger states man than Count Capnvl and the new Prussian premier , Eulenburg. Some Very IMMjttlfUllK Symptoms. Lastly , perhaps chiefly , it is impossible not to bo struct : by the amazing chancre which has come over the talk and bearing of Berliners - liners of all classes , as shown by the irrev erence with which they trout their rulers , by tbe lightness with which they discuss the pub lic speeches of their sovereign , by the bold ness with which even In tbtj Reichstag mea like Liouknecht and Bobel now express their views and aspirations. As an example of tbeso now and startling symptoms one might take Liebknecnt's recent denunciation of the seizure of Alsace and Lorraine , the flooding of the book stalls with socialistic papers , satirical political pamphlets , nnd the serio comic speech delivered by Haas von Bulow tbo other night at the Philharmonic concert. An English tourist who lost his way in one of tbe side streets last week asked a police man tbo way to Brandenbnrger thor. "Bran- denburger thor , " ansxvered the policeman , "Oh , he is at Hubertusstockf" B y"rc7erring to tbo dictionary you mil see the double meaning of this deplorable wit ticism. Unline other stories wo hear about Berlin , this is true. Tbo tendency to shrug shoulders and bite thumbs at the government is visible on all sides. It is accompanied by considerable irritation at the kulser's restlessness , by a very deep , though for the present harmless , discontent among the people. William Gets l.lttle Help. I may add that the unmistairaLlc wish of \Vilhelni to further the welfare of his suo- jccts hardly meets with honest recognition. The so-called "arbsufr-schultz-sezets , " or law for the protection of the working people for instance which has just taken eflect , is sneered at by the social democrats aud by most of tbo worKingiuen , yet so lar as that goes it is liberal and should change too orthodox social democrats who trained in the school of Belbol and Liebknccnt , still believe in tbo efficacy of electoral methods. The young or independ ent socialists who have broken loose from their former leaders and have formed a new party , inspired by Dr. Uruuo with others , repudiate the parliamentary methods and advocate strikes , boycots , abstention from the voting urns , nnd hint at violence. They thus follow in the steps of the French , and have disapproved a most useful measure , which n few years since would have been hailed with joy aua gratitude by the freisin- nege or liberals , and the working folk , who vote as they ndviso. have frankly admitted the value of the low. Not so toe creator mass , which swears by Bebcl. Tuo German socialists reject tbe reforms in principle. They aim not at reform , but at more sweep ing anarchy. .Some Knottj I'robleius 1'rei.entetl. The Grafeiilenourg will hove its hands full in dealing with various problems await ing solution. According to the Hamburger Nachrlchtes , which is supposed to reflect the views of Prince Bismnrrk , ho Is inclined to liberalism. Little it known of the Prussian premiei's rcnl purpose. However liberal he may be , it is dear from tbo bluntness witb which ho announced trie withdrawal of the educational hill that bo is not exactly con ciliating in character. Contrary to the belief of some foreign papers , tbo resignation of Cnprivl and Xed > iitz was uucx ] > ectod by the kaiser. It is equally certain that a parliamentary majority iiLfavor of tbe measure was assured. The kuiser's change of front was due , not to o fear th.t tbe bill could not be passed , but to the knowledge that public opinion in out side parliamentary circles was strongly hos tile to the mtusura In the admission of this fact lies tbo enormous fcl niGcance of the now departure. lllkmurck'h Illrthduj- , Bistsarci : It none tbe worse apparently for the jilcasureablo excitement of his birthday celebration at Fredcrlchsruhe , The anxiety of Ur , Scbwenlnger. who did his utmost to dissuade th ? prince from speech-making or otherwise risuing his health , proved ground less.

[ Special to Tnc BEE. ] When Marshal Light killed Reddy McCann ThursJay night , knowing ones prophesied that the" shooting had only com menced. At mldfiigbt there was another murder at Upper Creode. About 11 o'cloclt Billy Wall , nn "old resident , " was walking quietly down the street with a woman. Just ns they reached the Bon Ton restaurant Frank Oliver , tnown as "Frenchy. " met them and applied some approbrious name to Wall's companion. Wall called Oliver some vile name. Oliverpt once drew his revolver r.nd firfld one shot at Wall , tbe ball entering his utidomen. Wall was rurried into the res taurant. He lived about twenty icinutos and passed over the river , urother common- lory on tbe much-worn subject of wine and women. Olivnr was taken charge of by Deputy Snerifi Jack Pugh ot-Sapuacbe county and brought to Jimtown , whcro be was turned over to Marshal Delaney and Deputy Sheriff Meadows , who locked him up in the jail at Lower Creode. The prisoner was verv drunk and would uot.talu if be could. The first murder committed in Croede took place Thursday morning at1 ; t0. ! A bout this time In the morning the air was resonant with the crack of revolvers near the corner ot Crecdo avenue and Wall street. The causes which led to tae unfortunate affair are Dcst toid by the several witnesses who were examined by tbe coroner's Jury. The parties wbo.figurod in tbu affair were Captain Light , a deputy sheriff of Hinsdulo county , nnd IVUiutn Mcf.ann. a gambler , or better known n > > "Reddy" McCann.

Dr. Anderson testified that no was culled at 4 : W'--in. , and found a man lying upon a table apparently dying. Upon investigation ho found the bullet had entered the "body la what is known as the uxilary tpaoc or urinplt , pasting im mediately backwurd In a slanting direction and making its crlt ever the ancle of the scapula or shoulder Wade. Tnc bullet In all probability In its colirso cut several largo arteries , most import-lit of which was tbe axillary urtery. ' Mr. trchmltz of PotiRhkecpsie , N Y. , testi fied that at 4:15 : o 'ia.

The crisis in the political struggle that has been carried on for months past with so much bitterness has been nearly roacberl. Tomor row may witness such scenes of violence as take place from a resort to arms ncainst the authorities. The government appreciates the gravity of the situation. It is thoroughly alarmed. It will not hesitate to shoot down everyone who takes part in the revolt. All tbe troBps arc gathered In tbe central part of the city. They nro under arms. Their ofticers are at their bond. They have received orders to act with promptness at the first cote of warning. The police are all on duty. They are also under Instruct ions. Thousands ot desperate uion , enemies ot the administration , in all parts of the city , are armed. They have long rebelled in private against prcat ofllcial scandals , frauds nnd outrages. They only need leaders to come out openly and attack tbe troops and police. Dynamite an Agent of Rebellion. According to the most reliable accounts dynamite will play a prominent part la any riot that may ce started. It is known that a large quantity of bombs has been smuggled into the city. Nearly all the radical clubs are said to have these bombs secreted , and tome of their most oaring spirits have been drilled in the use of this most deadly and destruct ive weapon. Rumors of plots increase at a most alarm ing rote. The latest is about n conspiracy to murder President Pclligrini , ox-President Roca nnd ex-Pres ident Mitre , the two latter of whom had been prominently mentioned as candidates for the chief magistracy , but who resigned in favor of Saenz Pena. When this report reached the government , the police chief vas ordered to arrest every one who was suspected of complicity in the plot. They took some of the most prominent radical leaders in the city into custody. Among them was Dr. Alem of the Union Civica , the organization that for years has bean fighting the Colmnn-Pclligrinis and Hoca factions. Alem is charged with having planned to murder tba president , and to assume a dictatorship. The arrest of himself and his associates has intenu5-d tbe foiling o revenge among the radicals. Tney now declare that they \vill teach the administra tion a 1 earful lesson tomorrow. The police have raided several of the radi cal clubs and discovered bombs. All tbe wires to the provinces have "been cut , but reports roach hero thit the temper of the people outside of the capital is pretty much tbo same as in Buenos Ay res. A light in this city will be followed by conflicts in all the other leading towns of this republic. It will be remarkable if to morrow passes without the shedding of much blood. There is no telling how the militaries stand. It is said that tbe radicals have many adherents among the officers. If they desert the ranks they will take many of their men xvith them over to tbo enemy. The police are heartily disliked oy tbo populace. They are likely to prove loyal to the government , because they Know that they will not receive much consideration at tbe hands of the people. Contipirators Arrestett. Further details of the murder plot have just been made public. Tbo principal con spirators , besides Dr. Alem , were Scnors Liliedal , Torino Legnigamon nnd Castollano. They huve nil been arrested. Dr. Tngoyea , the radical candidate , who is bPlievod to bo also imprisoned , has been sent under gourd to Hisestancia Dv order or President J'elllsrini. The plot was discovered by the arrest of a messenger who was sent by Alem with tbo documents- his possession for delivery to a provincial radical clubj. The plan was to attne'k Burnos Ayres at several points nnd in tbo confusion arising to seize tbo residence of President Pelllgrini and Generals Mitre and Roca , and to assassinate tbjira.

[ By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald Spsclal to Tnc BEE. ] This city is quiet at present , butthorois no telling bow long the enemies of the ad ministration will remain inactive. Only on the surface is it inactive. In every part of Buenos Ayrei friends and foes of tbe gov ernment are cxcliod by discussing in their respective hornet or resorts the sensational events of the past twenty-four hours. Tne radical clubs are temporarily cowed by the prompt arrott of tbe loaders in the plot of assassination and revolt that was to have been carried out toiav when tbe big miss meeting of the opponents of President Pelll grini was at its Delphi. With the majority of their cbiofs in custody aud the present candidate of their party banished to his eitancio , or country estate , and under police espionage , the rauk and file of revolutionists do not know which way to turn. NODrly all the details of their desperate conspiracy are now known to the police and every precaution hn.s boon taken to prevent any further attempt to cam * it out. Tbe president is master of the situation jubt at present. At midnight every political club in tbo city was guarded by polled , who attar driving ail the member * out , stationed themselves at the doorand absolutely refused entrance to any one.

Additional details of the plot ncainst the government show that It was no doubt tbo Intention of the rebels to freely use dyna mite. They were to murder Pre idbat Pclll- gnnl first , thoa to kill | Gonc-rals Koca nnd Mitre , and afterward to destroy tbe govern ment house with bombs. It is rumored that in the numerous con flicts in all parts of Buenos Ayrcs with the police , some ot the radicals were killed ; this rumor lacks confirmation , for ttie wildest stories nro afloat , nna it is bard to distinguish whirb arc trou and which false. In the radical club houses the police found further proofs of the elaborateness of the plot and sticks were discovered hidden in corners , and cncb stick had u siuall head ot Dr. Alom who , according to the police ac count , was to have been proclaimed dictator when Pelligruil nndj Roca had boon mur dered. Hundreds of cloaks , with hoods for a disguise , were found. Tbo wearer * would thus be enabled to conceal their identity from the police nnd soldiers while the canes would inform their fellow conspirators that they were radicals. There is no doubt but that except for the energy of President Polllgrlnl and Chief of Police Donovan of Buenos Ayres n general revolt would have ooea Inaugurated today nil over tuo republic. Tbo plot bas boon hatching ever since the Sunday con gressional elections in February last , when nil the voters went to the palls armed , when soldiers were assembled at a central point ready for an emergency , and tno police were stationed at nil the strozt corners aud around the polls with revolvers and rid as in plain view.

Allsarpoclod parties who have uot boon placed under arrcstaro closely watched. Tbe police have seized tus offices of Sud Amcrico and Argentine , two of the leading radical afternoon papers. The radicals claim that tbo arrest of Dr. Alcra and other leaders of their party was not because any plot had been discovered , but , in reality , to Keep these men in custody until after the presidential election on April 10. This , they allege , 'was done in the interest of the national party , so that it might ride rough s'bod over tha popular will and maintain tbe present o&iclaU in power. The citizens in general , however , seum inclined to applaud the government's action } La Prensa states that Dr. Alem has applied to the federal court for his release under a writ of habeas corpus. , Dr. Trigoyen , from his ostincio , where he is virtually a prisoner , declares through tbe press that be is innocent of all com plicity in tbo plot , und protests hotly against his detention. Spirit of Itevolt Widespread. Aivices from other parts of the republic show that the spirit of revolt prevails every where. Mayor Day , the provincial treasurer at Mendoza , bus taken the alarm and has fled across the Andes into the hills. Juan ROF.SC , chief ol the radicals nt Tucuman , has been put in jail. The governors of tbe provinces have pro- cliiimrd all the citio ? under martial law. The radical agent at Mendoza , Senor Lcn- cines1 , was arrested today and his bouse was searched.
