Colonel Henr.v was nt the war department
nnd white house again to-day , commingling
with his friends nnd looking after thu interest
of Captain HourKc , whom ho hopes to sco
made inspector general. He also called nt
Tin : HIK : bureau. Colonel Henry says there
is quito u clamor for promotion ut present ,
but that It is not probable that anything in
that direction will be done until the elections
nro over. Ho loft this evening for Fort
Niagara , to attend the rillc range practice
for army men. In bpcaking about the pioino-
tlon of Captain Hourke , the president said to
Colonel Henry : "I Intend to appoint thu
ofllcor with the best record. That has been
my policy , and I believe it has done good in
the army. "
Colonel Henry replied : "That Is all the
army nsks and It Is indebted to you for this
reform in making appointments. "
Colonel Henry also spoke to thu president
of the claims of Captain Hoberts of the Sev

billon of Judge advocate and the president re
plied that Captain Kobcrts had been highly

At last the democrats in the senate at
tempted to defeat thu Immediate and tlnal
passage of the null Chinese- bill by trying to
refer it to the committee on foreign rela
tions. Falling in this they entered a
motion to reconsider the vote by which it
was passed BO that it will not go
to the president for several days ) yet not till
boino time next week and further opportu
nity will tie given tin1 administration to de
liberate , tuui around and got out of the hole
In which it finds itself. If Mr. Cleveland
signs the bill before Cnlna acts on the treaty
ho will commit an extraordinary breach of
diplomacy and probably cut ofl all relations
between the Cnited States and the celestial
empire , wiiilu If ho vetoes it on account of
thu pending treaty be will repudiate William
I. . . Scott , who Introduced the bill in thu

they Intend to keep right along with their
negotiations , never closing for uday till they
have the necessary number of signatures to
put the treaty in force. There has not been
as heavy immigration into Dakota tills sum

Those who want to go to Dakota and Ne

Till : l.UMIiHTAUIFP. ! :
Another special consular report , intended
to reinforce and brace up some of the weak
points lit the Mills tariff bill , has just been
rccuivcd at the department of state. This
one comes from Mr. Hotchkiss , the United
States consul at Ottawa , Canada , and deals
with the subject of lumber , the Canadian
output , and the effect free lumber would have
upon the consumers In thu United States.
This report shows care In every bC'ilcncc ,
mm it was the evident Intention to inalto it
Impressive , and to huva an influence in the
impending campaign.
Probably the most striklngstatementmado
In this report by this democratic ofticcr is the
one which declares the.rumoval of the duty
imposed by thu United States upon imported
lumber will not make the article any cheaper
to the consumer. Thu statement verbatim
is as follows :
"There is no dispute that the American
manufacturer controls the making of prices.
In doing this ho is not influenced by the Can
adian supply In any degree. If the duty of
t'J Is removed it will not affect the American
price , because It has never been a factor nnd
will Htill bo unfelt. No lower price will
prevail in thu United States than heretofore ,
and no different net results will bo experi
enced by the manufacturer.
"Tho Canadian , on the contrary , will lay
his lumber down In thu American market nt
$ ) less per 1,000 , and will obtain for it
the same as the American docs , so that the
net result to the Canadian manufacturer will
bo a clear gain of the i which the American
government has remitted. This additional
net result to the Canadian manufacturer will ,
however , bo of very brief duration. "
The consul explains t.iat the price of lutn
bcr will simply bo raised ? 2 per 1,000 feet bi
thu Canadian government , which controls
thu entire output of lumber In that Dominion
nnd that therefore the abolition of the him
ber duty by the American congress will bi
Bimply nn advantage to the Canadian govern
incut. Canada controls her timber lands ex
clusivcly. Unlike the United States povern
ment , which has dlsK ) > scd of Its timber pos
sessions nt n fixed price and permitted then
to come into Jhu possession of private im'l
viduals , the Canadian government owns tin
timber upon her public domain , and permit :
lumbermen to cut the Iocs at Jlxed prices
averaging ut present ja per acre. This charg <
comes under the title of a "timber license. '
It will bo thus seen that ns soon ns the Auier
lean congress removes the duty from lumbci
the Canadian parliament will simply ralsi
the price for timber license to an cqun
nmount , ami therefore profit to that extent
Of course , free lumber will greatly augmeu
the Importations into this country , nnd there
for.0 give n great stimulus to Canadian labor
The profit , However , according to this report
will accrue to the Canadian government. 1
will therefore be seen that Canada as i
government , can afford to contribute vcrj
largely to tbodcmocraticcampalgn fund , am
it is Rufo to say that if the Canadian parlla
incut would appropriate out of the commoi
fund a million or to of dollars , the net wouli
bet approved by the public , as they expect ti
to prolll by the inaintalnanco In power of tin
democratic party. Speaking further of tin
abolition of the lumber duty by congress , tin
consul says :
"Having shown how the governments it
Cauuda continue their control of the tlmbc
luuda and their disposition to tax them to th >
utmost , I am confluent that not a May pa ;
day will pass before a public notice will issu <
In effect that a f ui thcr increase in annual uni
timber dues has been made an order in ccun
ell. In > uin suQIclcnt tn absorb tbo f J pc
1,000 Into the proincial treasuries. "
Khun been argued by the democrats in th
huUK ) thut if logs In tbo rough wcio per
wltU-0 to come Into the United States free o
duty. It would huva tbo double affect of prc
M.TVlif ( the forcHta of this country , am
ttlwuUting the inw-mllling Interest. It ha
bwu arirubd that the iaw mill yards , aloni
Itw northern luUca. would bo tilled wit !
li > K , which would require Auier
la wmnufnrtnre. The rnnrto
this consul explodes thU theory , as facts
usually explode democratic doctrine. The
consul says :
"Regarding the few logs shown to bo ex
ported to the United States , they nro of no
account whatever , nor do I believe that if
'free lumber' wore to prevail that any ap
preciable Increase of log exports would be
seen , for the lops would , to a largo extent , bo
manufactured Into lumber at the place of
growth , or approximately so. ns long as the
lumber was admitted free. This course pre
sents very many palpable advantages ns
against the expense of the transferor the mill.
"A few mill-owners on the shores or ad-
Jnccnt to the shores of Lake Huron nnd Lake
Michigan , having exhausted their available
timber , would make a few spasmodic ! at
tempts to Import logs from Canada , but n
very brief attempt to handle logs across the
lakes would develop the superiority of the
location nearer the timber. In addition to
this , by operating their mills In Canada they
would llnd the Knglish markets open to them ,
for It Is In Canada that the English buyer of
pine lumber always has and undoubtedly will
continue to look for his stock. This advan
tage to the manufacturer is one which will
not be lost or disregarded , for thu Knsjllsh
market requires from Canada pine lumber
( mainly cut Into 'deal' ) in volume about
half us largo us Is old to the stales. "

MINNKU-OMS , Minn. , Sept. 7. [ Special
TclegiamtoTnn Hii.j : : Uop.mlmg the state
ment that the state grain Inspectors would
enforce u new rule , which admits to No. 1
hard wheat from 6 to 10 per cent of frosted
wheat , Inspector Clausen says thcru is no
truth in it. A prominent ofllcer of the
chamber of commerce states , however , that
tins rule was posted in the inspector's ollico
ycstoiday , and he lo-dav produced what pur
ports to bo a copy of the rule , taken from the
bulletin board In Clausen's ollico. Wheat
was also shown on change which , It Is
claimed , \vas inspected under the now rule ,
(
and which contained frosted wheat. Secre
tary U. C. Sturtevant , of the cnambur , rc-
murced on thu universal topic in his domain :
"I tell them that if they want this rule
changed they must pass n rcsolut on ap-
ptoving of it. That's been the way
nil through with this iiifininistratljii.
When wo have wanted anything wo have
got just the opposite. The whole thing is
political nil the way down. Kvery man , In
all the depiirtmi nts , is appointed for political
reasonswithout regard to qualillcaiions. They
commenced to inspect under the now rule
yesterday. It will ruin the reputation of
northwestern grades in the cast and foreign
points. "
Colonel G. It. 1 lodgers , the veteran grain
editor , said : "This is a sample market and
our business cannot bo injured materially. It
will hint Duluth more became they must
ship all their wheat. Not much is shipped
from hero except to millers. I don't see who
Is to bo benelittcd by the rule as the clfcct
will be to lower the price of graded wheat
and establish a better price for sample
Wheat. "

TOFISKI , Kan. , Sept. 7. [ Special Telegram
to Tun HIK. : ] The August report of the
state boat dot agriculture shows that 74 per
cent of the total area of corn planted Is worth
harvesting. The corn yield averages the
highest in Wyandotte county , being fifty-
three and a half bushels to the acre. Nearly
all of the counties north of the ICansas river
and in the eastern part of the state report
yields of forty to fifty bushels an acre. A
bolt of territory , from Jewell and Smith
counties on the north stretching fcouthward
and bearing eastward to the south line of the

eight bushels , and the total yield is 1-14-
417,800 , double that of last year , but 46l-15i,800 !

NEW S'oiiK , Sept. 7. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : HUE. ] Judge Thurman Is Hoinowhnt
better to-day , but Is still quite n sick man ,
nnd Is anxious to go home. A ] > olicy of tryIng -
Ing to raise enthusiasm for Cleveland and
the democratic ticket by cruelly forcing nn
ambitious but rather decrepit old man of
seventy-live years to go around the country
and fcpctik was denounced to-day
on all Hides. The dcmocraoic lead
crs think it an egregious mistake , and
one that will do the party moro harm than
good. Wise democrats want tlio "Old Ho
man" to bo kept quiet so us not to endanger
his life. They know that without his name
n the ticket it would be one of the dreariest
fforts In the world to get uny enthusiasm for
Cleveland.
Thu president and Colonel Hrlco como in
'or their share of censure for permitting
Thurman to come to Now York , knowing his
'ceblu condition and the dangers of a long
rip. It Is well-known that Mrs. Thurman
itrcnuously opposed her husband's acceptance
of thu candidacy for thu vicu-presidency be-
: ause shu was well aware of his very feeble
'audition. Shu protested , and so did his
children , against thu cruelty of bringing
thu "Old Uoman" into political life again ,
when ho had repeatedly wild ho was too old
to enter thu campaign , nnd that he was only
awaiting a 11 mil summons. Their entreaties
wore in vain. Somebody had to bo found to
strengthen the democratic ticket , and Thur
man was tlio man selected by the president.
Four years previous the piusident said that
he did not imtfo him one of his cabinet olll-
cers because he was too old. After that be
came known Mrs. Thurman was happy ,
because she thought that her husband would
be permitted to pass thu remainder of his
lays in ( | uiet and rest from political excite
ment. This is the whole situation In a nutshell.
Judge Thurman is simply being railroaded
iron ml the country , regardless of his ex
treme ago and inllrmilies , merely to hide the
fact that the head of thu ticket has no popu-
"anty , and thu result will bo that the "Old
Koman" will bo sacrificed to boom a loosing
cause.
Henry J. Keinmund , n prominent demo
crat of Ohio , was in the corridor of the Fifth
Avenue hotel to-day and remarked that it
would be butter for Thurman to die at home
than to kill him slowly by sending him
around to address laigo audiences. There
was not a democrat who called at the hotel
this morning who was willing to admit that
it was right to carry the old man
around in such fashion. Colonel Hrice ,
ivho is an active member of
the hippodrome combination to carry the old
man around , did not cull to sec Thurman until
late , but ho knew the faithful ex-Senator
Uarnum would boon duty , and in that he was
not mistaken. He is rattled and so is Har-
num. They keenly feel the fiasco they helped
to get up lust night. They desire to have
him make one moro cflort to speak , but
thev want to ba sure of his physical ability.
They apieo that if ho goes back without
speaking the democrats in the cast will
think they are voting for a man whoso ex
istence , ut least , is very precarious.
\ largo number of distinguished politicians
called on Judge Thurman to-day , but with
the exception of Thomas Nusl the Judge was
unable to receive them. Telegrams and
letters wishing him a speedy recovery have
been coming in from all quarters. Mrs.
Tnurman saw some stories in the Columbus
newspapers , became worried , and tele
graphed , asking if she should come on. The
telegram to her last night was not enough en
tirely to case her mind , nnd Allen W.Thurman
telegraphed here to-day that his father was
all right. Judge Thurman will leave the
Fifth avenue hotel to-morrow evening and
go to Jersey City , whence Captain Jlrlce's
private car will take him to Newark , where
he is to speak at 8 o'clock. After the meet
ing a private car will bo coupled to a through
train and the homeward journey begun.
Thurman expressed a dcsiro to speak to
the democrats of this city before returning
to the west , but Congressman Wilkins pre
vailed upon him to save his strength for tbo
Newark mass meeting.
Harrison at Work on Ills Letter.
iNDiAN.U'Oi.is , Ind. , Sept. 7. The day with
General Harrison was quiet and uneventful.
The general gave the most of his time to his
correspondence , and it is presumed that ho
is at work on his letter of acceptance. The
state committee made no reception engage
ments for General Harrison during four
days , which fact gives color to the
prevailing impression that the general has
settled to prepare his letter for publication ,
not having found the opportunity ho antici
pated to cngago in this work at Middle liass.
At any rate , there is excellent authority for
the statement that the accounts being sent
out from hero purporting to outline General
Harrison's letter as regards bis tariff views
are without foundation. In conversation to
night upon this subject the general lent the
impression that thcro is no one who could
outline what his letter will contain. Next
Thursday , the lath inst. . General Har-
ribon will attend a reunion of his old
regiment , the Seventieth Indiana , at Clay
ton , Hendricks county , where it is expected
that ho will address the veterans. Return
ing home on the morning of the 1 ttb , he will
receive the Chicago Grand Army veterans en
route to their homes from the annual en
campment at Columbus , O. On Saturday ,

NEW YORK , Sept. 7. A democratic mass
meeting , nt which about two thousand people
plo were present , was hold to-night as a pro
test against the renomination of Govcrnoi
Hill. The cheering and hissing , however
was about equally divided. Wheeler II
Pcakham presided. A remarkable address
to the democratic state convention , soon tc
be held , was adopted. Tbo delegates an
urged to eschew David 13. Hill , who is char
actcrlzcd as a man who , In hi ;
public career during the past four yean
as governor of this state , has earnet
the reputation of lacking every qualification
for holding oftlco In a self-respecting demo
cratic community. " The address in Its ar
raignment of the governor reminds the com
ing btate convention that "Hill's nomination
concerns tariff reform because the fortunes
of Cleveland will Do affected by confidence in
the party resulting from bis nomination , ant
"that ho is not democratic because bo has
entered Into nefarious deals with republican
paitisans. " During the meeting there was
an almost riotous disturbance , tbo police
being called from the platform to quell the
trouble. Wheeler II. Peckhain , Henrj
George and others spoke.

.Senate.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 7. The president's
message on the China matter was laid before
the senate to-day. Ho merely sent a copy of
two dispatched from the American minister
ntPckin : One Is dated September f > , and
says :
"I believe that the treaty has been rejected.
1 have demanded from the foreign ofllco IHJS- !
live Information , No Information bus been
received. "
The other Is dated September 0 , nnd says :
"Tho treaty has been postponed lor fur
ther deliberations. "
Mr. Mitchell was speaking rapidly and ve
hemently on the Chinese bill when the gavel
fell and the presiding oftlecr put the ques
tion , "Shall the bill pass ! "
Mr. Gorman rose to speak , but had got no
further than the words , "Mr. President , In
consideration of this measure , " when ho was
stopped by the announcement on the part of
the presiding olllcer that debate was not In
order. Unanimous consent had been given
yesterday ihat.at 1 o'clock thu vote should betaken
taken on the question , "Shall the bill passl"
There being some questions as to the terms
of the agreement , the report In the Keeord
was read. Mr. Gorman excused himself on
the ground thut hu was not present when the
iigrecment was made , and was not aware of
it. Hu now moved that the bill and the
president's message be referred to thu com
mittee on foreign relations.
Mr , Teller "ihat Is contrary to the ar
range in cut. "
Tlio Presiding Ofllcer "Tho chair holds
that the motion is In order under the lule ,
notwithstanding the agreement. "
The question was taken on Mr. Gorman's
motion , and resulted , yeas 7 , nays 10 no
quorum. Messrs. Hoar , Platt and Gorman
voted with the democrats , m the afllrmativc ,
nnd Hcrry , Payne , Turpiu and Vest with the
icpnbUcans , in the negative. Mr. Morgan
voted no , but withdrew that vote because ho1
did not know how Mr. livarts , with whom ho
was joined , uould vote. In the call of the
senate forty-eight senator * answered to their
namcf , and a vote was again taker , resulting
in the defeat of Mr. Gorman's motion yeas
10 , nays 'JO.

The question was then taken on the passage
of the bill , nnd the result was yeas y" , nays
8. Negative votes were given by Messrs.
Hrown , Hoar and Wilson of Iowa. Mr.
Sherman did not vote ut all ,
Mr. Hlalr asked the presiding ofllcer
whether a motion to reconsider the vote was
in order , and on being Informed that it was ,
he submitted that motion. Hn said that If It
were rcconsidercd'ho-wonld-rnovo-an amend
ment to the bill , providing that the act shall
not take effect until the expiration of sixty
days after Its pabsago unless-the pending
treaty shall bo rejected by China within that
time , but to take effect immediately on such
rejection.
Mr. Gorman referred to his motion to com
mit the bill , and ho said that he had made
that motion in consideration that the bill baa
como before the senate , without doubt , under
misapprehension.
Mr. Plumb "Created by whom ! "
Mr. Gorman "Tho senator from Kansas
will pardon me. There is not any question
about It. Everybody understands it. While
this measure was under consideration hero
and elsewhere there was a belief that the
treaty recently negotiated had been rejected
by China. Now the senate Is Informed of
ficially that thpbelief has no foundation. I
made thu motion which I did because I be
lieved thut the senate owes to itbclf and
to the country to have the matter
considered by the committee on foreign
relations. Such action as we have just taken
ought not to have been taken , nnd if It was
proposed to take such action in regard to n
gicat nation the bill would not have received
half a dozen votes. We all understand the
pressure on both sides in the great contest
between the two political parties. I concur
with the senator from Ohio ( Sherman ) , the
leader ou his side , that this matter is above
politics ; that it is above presidential elec
tions , and that it ought not to bo passed in
this indecent haste. I am delighted that the
senator from New Hampshire. 1ms made n
motion to reconsider , nnd has given notice of
an amendment which ho proposes to offer.
It only demonstrates that wo have acted in
great haste , nnd that the matter should have
been considered by a committee of this body
in the light of information which the presi
dent has given us. I liopo that the motion
will prevail. I have no doubt that the amend
ment of the senatorlroin New Hampshire Is
well considered by himself , but it is too im
portant to have it voted on immediately
in the senate. I give notice , and ask the
senator from New Hampshire to co-operate
with me , that if the motion to reconsider be
carried I shall again move to commit the bill
to the committee on foreign relations , with
the message from the president , "
Mr. Stewart ODiwsed thu motion to recon
sider , nnd said the moro ho read Dunby'a
dispatches Iho moro ho felt that the bill was
proper.
Mr. Hlalr advocated his motion. Ho ar
gued that the ticaty would , If ratified bj
China , afford all the remedy which the bill
was designed to give. Unless the real pur
po > o of the bill was to destroy the treaty , n
delay of sixty days oucht to bo satisfactori
to everybody. So far as was known the
Chinese government was acting in good
faitb. The United States senate had taker
more tlmu In considering tne treaty than the
Chinese government had taken. Ho was op
posed , however , to Mr. Gorman's proposition
to commit the hill , and would regard that n
juggling with the matter , but he believed
that this Christian power , as it called itself ,
might delay the operation of the bill twe
months for the sake of saving its reputation ,
At tbo close of the discussion Mr. Tcllci
moved to lay on thn table Mr. HIalr's motlor
to reconsider. A vote was taken aud resulted
yeas 23 , nays 11 ; no quorum. A call of the
senate having shown the presence of forty-
four senators , Mr. Joucs of Arkansas moved
to adjourn.
Mr. Hlair As the vote just taken Is clearlj
Indicative of the will of the senate , I do 1101
want to delay action , nnd I therefore beg tc
withdraw my motion to reconsider.
Mr. Sherman I object.
A vote was taken on a motion to adjourn
and it was defeated yeas 19 , nays 22.
A vote was taken the second nnd thiri
times on the motion to lay on the table th (
motion to reconsider , but each time then
was a lack of a quorum , several senators tak
ing advantage of their beinjj paired to rofrair
from voting. Finally the friends of the bll
realized the uselessness of further attempt :
to end the matter , and the senate ndlournec
till Monday , leaving the bill passed , but :
motion to reconsider its passage pending.
House.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 7. Mr. Nutting o
New York during a speech in the house to
day asked why It was that the presldent.dur
ing the four years of his administration , ant
especially during the past eighteen months
had made no attempt to stop the infraction o
rights of the American people. The Amcri
can government was to blame for the presen
difficulties. It had relied upon English hone ;
when the history of nations would show tha
it was not safe to place reliance on Eugllsl
promises , I ( the Mills bill should become i
law Kngland would hnvo accomplished by
tier diplomacy and her Influence In this coun
try what sliu bad been unable to accomplish
by llio sword.
Mr. Komels of Ohio called attention to the
fact that off the mouth of the Detroit river
the American government had extended the
channel at a cost of thousands of dollars.
That channel was In Canadian territory and
might bo closed up by the Canadian author
ities.
ities.Mr. . Hooker answered the charge that the
president had been dlicllct In not exercis
ing the iwwors conferred Uxm | him by the
net of 1V3" prior to that date , and mild thatnt
the very time of the pasnago of the act the
United States had been endeavoring to enter
Into negotiations with Great Hrltaln to settle
the question of what arc the rights ot Amer
ican citizens. In all probability It was for
this reason that the president had not oxer-
: lsed his power , and for the further reason
.lint under the act ot IVs * the powurof retail-
tlon was limited to the exclusion of Cana-
Ian vessel * from United States portn , and
. .Id not extend to restraining the shipment of
goods in bond across American territory.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois referred to the fact
hat Mr. Scott's speech hail not been pub-
Ished In the Record , nnd ho was surprised at
his , because ho said that the gentleman had
tuck as closely to his manuscript as , to use a
.lomoly western phrase , u sick kitten to her
ilam. The gentleman from Pennsyl
vania , the leader nnd dictator of
' .ho democratic party , had during the
nisi week towered above everybody , with
IreekunridgcH , McCrearys and Crisp' ttliig-
nglow. Hu had great respect for the gen-
.leman. Everybody respected the man , es
pecially when lie possessed SiO.UOO.iKX ) ,
which It was whispered would bo twurcd
iko water In Pennsylvania. The ndmlnls-
.ration had adopted a Chlneso policy and
was trying to frighten Canada by heating
gongs. The president alieady hud a big
? eng , but Mild : "I am going into this busl-
jiessgivu ; mo another hammer. " [ Laughter. ]
The president might scare Canada ; ttho
knew I Oh , fora man in the presidential
chair who would issue a proclamation to
morrow stopping the shipment of Canadian
'Ish ' Into tlio United States. In forty-eight
ours the whole question would bo solved.
The knees of the democrats shook ns did
those of HclHluzicr. Their great chief saw
written on the walls , "Mcnc , menc , tckcl up
"iar in , " nnd ho turned around under the ma
nipulation of thu great gentleman from Penn
sylvania and sent in this letaliution message.
Thank God , this was a day of nowpapern and
school houses , and gentlemen might us well
try to dip tbo Atlantic dry with a spoon us to
fool thu loyal musses of this country by any
such clap trip.
Mr. McMillan of Tennessee Are you
olng to vote for this clap-trap.
Mr. Cannon As 1 said before , when it is
'oing to bo a Chinese policy of terrifying en
emies by the beating of gongs , rather than
by uslng-a tithe of the substance that is in
our hands , 1 guess it is patriotic to civo the
president another hammer. "
Mr. Nelson of Minnesota argued that arti
cle 'JO of thu treaty of Ih71 had never been
abrogated , and ho took direct issue with the
president on this ) > oint.
Mr. Seymour of Michigan said that the
northwest was interested In short and cheap
lines of trafllc. The extension of power re
quested by the president would. If given , re
sult in prohibition by Canada of the transit
of American goods tlnough that country. It
would not benefit the lishcrtnen , but would
damage the northwest and Canada mutually.
H would fieem that the remedy for the com
plaint with regard to the fisheries might bo
found without jeopardising tlio interests of
the northwest.
The debate was further continued by
Messrs Adams of Illinois , White of Indinna ,
Kerr of Iowa and Post of Illinois , and it was
agreed that a vote on the bill should betaken
at 4 p. m. to-morrow and that the housu take
a recess , the evening tession to bu for con
sideration of private pension bills.

MAXWKM/H CIIAVK.
An Attempt to I.'t-M-crnio it He-suit in
Some Strange Development * .
ST. Louis , Sept. 7. An evening paper says
that nn attempt to steal the body of Hugh M.
Hrooks , alias Maxwell , executed August 10
for the murder ol C. Arthur Preller , has
created quite a sensation hero and developed
some strange facts. At a very early hour
yesterday morning a pistol shot m Calvary
cemetery attracted the attention of a huck
ster named Peter Keltz , coming to the city
with a load of truck , and n fexv minutes later
a closed vehicle passed him on the road , the
team being on a gallop. Following the team
came a mall named John Shevehu , who ex
citedly informed Keitz that the occupants of
the fleeing vehicle had made an attempt to
steal the body of the murderer Maxwell ,
whoso case attracted such worldwide atten
tion. Investigation developed the fact that
Shovclin had been employed and well paid
bi' an unknown but beautiful lady to guard
Maxwell's grave at night. He was on duty
when three men entered the cemetery nnd
started for the grave of the little cliloro-
former. Shevelln llrcd his pistol and the
men fled. No trace of them has yet been
found. They left a shovel and a rope ai the
grave side. An effort will be made to learn
who the woman Is who pays so liberally for
guarding Maxwell's grave.
AN AXAIIGIIISTIG MISSILE.
Another Itoinb Found In a Chicago
Mercantile * ICs tahl lull men t.
CHICAGO , Sept. 7. A bomb was found this
afternoon by men working at George F.
Klmball's glass establishment , at the corner
of Wabash avenue and Congress street. The
men were engaged in moving some empty
packing cases which for a week have been
lying against the building on the Congress
street side. As they cleared away the boxes
next to the wall , what appeared to be a piece
of gas pipe rolled out and was picked up by
one of the men. It was found to be a gas
pipe bomb about seven inches long and nn
inch in diameter. One end was plugged with
brass , in which was fitted a percussion cap ,
the object of which was to explode the con
tents of the bomb when falling against the
ground or wall of n house. The cud of the
missile was closed with metal. The bomb
was taken to police headquarters and turned
over to Inspector Honlicld. The greatest
secrecy was maintained in regard to It. Tno
find may prove an important one , as only a
week ago a revolver was found among the
boxes in the same place.
