LONDON , January's 1 a. m. There
is a sensational story it } circulation
to day that a man named Hatchinson ,
a clockmaker , of Birmingham , has in-
r rraed the Russian emhasiy in Lon
don of the existence of a plot to con
struct a larce number of infernal ma
chines for the use of the nihilists. It
seems that notchinaon was engaged
at c. high price to get up the clock
work for the machuiiw , but becoming
alarmed for his safety in case iho plot
was discovered , aud ho be Implicated
in it , he turned informer before hav
ing actually carried out any part of the
contract. The implement to the
story is Iliat the authors of the plot
have threatened to murder Hulchin-
son for betraying then. No detailed
proof of the truth of the rumor has
ye't been made public , but many per
sons profess to believe It on notounc
of its intrinsic p-obability.

tatiatlcs proving that Ireland to-dav
waa immeasurably inoro peaceful than

hat the only result of coercion would

arming ot the people would be uselc.s ,

DOVER , N. H. , January 7 10 p.m.
A fire was discovered In the main
suilding of the Stafford county poor
; arm early this morning. At the
imo of discovery the llames had
nado considerable headway , and many
rooms filled with smoke. Sixteen
persons were in the building at the
.ime > and great difficulty was experi
enced in getting them out , some of
them having to bo dragged to places
of safety. Thirteen" persons are
missing , and have probably lost their
ivps. The loss is ostlmaied at § 70-
000 ; insurance , 820,000. The in
mates who escaped are now clothed
and ahelterod through the generosity
of the citizens of Dover. The fire en
gines sent from Dover , four miles
iFtfio conflagration on account of the
leavy snow oh the ground. Owing
o the absence of water there was
nothing to do but save the Inmates ,
who wore in a fearful state of oxcito-
ment. Many were old and ho'pleaa '
and wtiro unable to escape without
aid. Several children wore saved by
> eing thrown from the windows and
caught In the arms of those below.
finally , after every effort had been
made , the building was abandoned.
LATER Up to midnight none of the
jodiea had been recovered. Two are
now burning In plain sight of the
doorway. The sight is hideous , and
, ho stench is sickening. There wore
many strange incidents connected
with the conflagration. One woman
who had come out in safety returned
to get an old wooden chair , and was
consumed. Another went back to
inish saying her prayers , and barely
escaped. An old man who was crazy
on the subject of religion , tore the
shutters from his window in which ho
calmly sat reading his bible , and call
ed to his unfortunate comrades , eay-
ng , "Thus shall the wicked be tor
mented for their transgressions. " The
ire is thought to have originated in
.ho furnace room.

A Masher's Dilemma.
Special Dispatch to The Bcei
'CINCINNATI , January ? 10 p. m.
The Enquirer this morning published
a higly-flavored sensation , involving
Hon. Milton Saylor , ex-member of
congress from this city. It says while
Sayler was in congress he became en
amored of a Mrs. Alexander who ,
with her husbend , boarded at the
same place. Mrs. Alexander was
much with Sayler , and this caused
such trouble that a divorce was the
result. Sayler and she were especial
ly friendly for a long while , but she
was finally supplanted in his favor by a
Cincinnati widow. Sayler attempted
to discard Mrs. Alexander , but she
wouldn't have it , and followed him.
The matter is still unsettled , but Mrs.
Alexander has the inside track.

lion of the Halifax fisheries award IB
to be brought proniiiiontly ngwi to
the attention of congress and the
coun.ry. There has always been a
suspicion In the minds of many offi
cials tht the award w a fraudu
lently obtainidi : and It in noir clatmncl
that proofs of fraud cm bo readily
reached with a view of finding out the
facts.
facts.Mr.
Mr. Springer offered the following
resolution :
Itesolrtd , That the secretary of
state bo required , if not Incompatible
with the public interest , to communi
cate to this house all information in
thoatato depirtment not heretofore
communicated to cnnjjresa in refer
ence to the Halifax fishery award of
Sd OOtCCd , paid by this government
to Great Britain , and especially rela-
live to the alleged p titions , atatiatics
and forged testimony in possession of
the arbitrators , and upon which evi
dence the award was made , ana also
steps to procure a verification of the
recently published statements of
Prof. Henry , and from statements of
Prof. Hurd , to show that there had
been gross frauds , as well as a falsifi
cation of statistic ? . Ho urged the
most stringent hiq lilies to ferret out
: ho'o frauds and to obtain restitution ,
f possible.
Mr. Newborry stitod also that the
award WAS not made under the pres
ent government of Great Britain , and
10 had reason to believe that the pres
ent government would willingly opsn
the whale question upon reasonable )
evidence that there had been fraud ,
'orcery and falsification ot statistics.
Mr. Nowberry made some remarks
n support of hia resolution , and of-
ered an additional preamble and res
ilntion which ha desired to have , with
t\vC6'I"o'hMTf6rergn'aTrldr3VcuV 'ODjec-
iona wore made.
Mr. Hawley said , "We have here-
oforo submitted great and gfavo ques-
lens to arbitration. An award was
inado against the British government
at Geneva , and they paid it like
men. "
A member suggested that they
; rumblcd a good deal-
Mr. Hawley ratorted that they
; rumbled imong themselves. It was
illeged that it was stated in certain
prints and papers that fraud had been
ised to procure the Halifax awardand
; hat fraud was at least connived at if
not actually inaugurated by the Brit
ish government , and Mr. Hawley
thought it would be host to wait to
see whether the British government
would find out whether it had not also
been imposed upon. Ho would have
the governments act with each other
as men act with men , and would wait
to see whether the British govern
ment would not first take action in
the matter. He protested against
iho proceedings hero to-day , and could
say that this matter could safely rest
* n the hands of the secretary of state
at the present. *
Mr. Notvborry replied that the
British government had known of
heso things for twenty months and
lad taken no action.
Mr. Field objected to the reference
of Mr. Nowberry'a resolution , but
VIr. Springer's resolution was referred
; o the committee on foreign ullaira.
Members of the house acxm to bo a
; oed deal divided as to the propriety
of stirring this matter up at the pres
ent time. '
The house then proceeded to con
sider the private calendar , and dis
posed of twelve or thirteen bills , and
it 1:150 : p. m. adjourned.
SENATE.
A firebrand was thrown into the
senate by the presentation of a me
morial by J. A. Moore , of Louisiana ,
alleging that he beame a member of
the Packard legislature , with two
others , through frauds in the Seventh
ward of Now Orleans , and that as auch
member ho was bribed with the sum
of § 0000 to vote for Kellogg for
sonator7aud asking to be summoned
and examined as a witness.- ' This gave
rise to a spirited debate on the gen
eral character of the witness , and the
Louisiana case continued until the
expiration of the morning hour at 1
p. m. , after which the senate proceed
ed to the consideration of the conau-
ar and diplomatic appropriation bill.
The reading had been nearly comple
ted when an animated debate sprung
up in regard to the powers exerted by
American representatives abroad to
sit as judges for the trial of offenses
by American citizens in foreign coun
tries.
tries.Mr. . Carpenter declared that the law
under which it was done was grossly
unconstitutional , and proposed to
frame a bill for the creation of judi
cial district * , and appointing judges in
China and Japan. The recent action
uf Minister Maynard in trying and
condemning an American citizen at4
Cairo without a jury was commented
upon as unconstitutional , although
sanctioned by the existing statutes.
After rejecting a motion to strike
out the anpropri&ticn for the support
of a prison in China , the bill for the
relief of Ben Holliday came up as the
regular order. Without proceeding
* o its consideration the senate , at 4:30 :
p. m. , went into executive session , and
soon after adjourned until Monday.
