WASIUNOTON , D. C. , Sept. 15. )
A remarkable condition of affairs exists in
congress. In vulgar parlnnco ovcryboily Is
'rattled. " A feeling pervades every avenue
of the capitol ttint congress is on the disin
tegrating point and that it Is liable to go to
pieces almost , any day. The presiding ofll-
COM In the two houses ntul the chairman of
the caucus and other leading committees
vrcro tinablu to-day to forecast the work for
next week , although they have been able to
do so every Saturday during the nlno mouths
of this session. They frankly state that no
conclusion could be reached and no arrange-
inont could bo made for taking up anything ;
that in both houses men seemed to have cotno
to the conclusion that all of the business has
been donu for this session and that nothing
remains except to adjourn. There nro but
two regular appropriation bills unllnlshcJ ,
tbo sundry civil and the general deficiency ,
nnd the former has been agreed upon in con
ference and will undoubtedly bo adopted on
Monday , while the latter can bo gotten out
of the way by Thursday. The impression Is
general that the democrats in caucus on
'Tuesday night will agree to adjourn and that
thu senate will caucus so that there- will not
bo more than tlirco and probably but two
weeks more of the session. The only men in
the other branch of congress who object to
an adjournment are the democratic members
of thu bouso committee on ways and means
who aru in the majority and the re-publicans
who have control of the sonatc committee-
finance. This committee always report the
resolution for adjournment , and they refuse
to take the responsibility under the present
condition of legislation , yet they are
in 11 Bplrit anxious for adjournment.
They seem to think that if they agree to the
resolution for adjournment their action will
bo interpreted by the country as indicating
Unit they are willing to stop the discussion of
thu tariff and they tnko the initiativu. It is
probable therefore that should the democrats
cm Tuesday night conclude to offer an ad
journment resolution that it will not come
from the committee on w.iys and moans bxit
will bo introduced on the lloor of the house
and passed without reference to the commit
tee. That proccduro may prevail in the sou-
tito. .
WHAT'S TIIK MVITKU WITH TT\AS.
It appears , after all , that there is u good
deal of solllshncss in Chairman Mill's advo
cacy of free wool. General Kennedy , a re
publican member of the house from Ohio ,
told me to-day that he had during the week
talked freely with a number of democrats
fiom 'lo.xas , including thieo or four mem
bers of the house , uml they told him
that as a stnto Texas did
not indorsu Mr. Mill's attitude on the tariff.
Them are two great business elements in
Toxns which nro in direct conflict. Ono is
made up of the cattle men , who are opposed
to the sheep industry , and therefore want
wool placed on the frco list with a hope of
driving tlto sheep raisers out of the country
IxjcaiihO the Hhcci > ruin the cattle pastures
and are a detriment to the c.ittlo men. The
reverse is trim of the men who have flocks of
Hliccp. Mills is in a cattle district and is
simply serving the Interests of the cattle
Icings in advocating frco wool. There are
other districts ! ! the state which are con
trolled by the 'sheep raisers , and they are
fighting Mills with some dourco of success in
view , oven if Mills' district. Is tf.lXX ) demo
cratic. The light against Mills has
bccomo BO heated that ho has boon
compelled to go homo and defend himself.
lU-presentativo Sayres is from the Texas
sheep district. Ho supported trio Mills bill
nnd there is a revolution against him within
his own party. At one of the conventions
liold u few days ago for the purpose of select
ing delegates to a Bayers nominating con
vention , an effort was made to pass a resolu
tion endorsing his course in congress , when
the sheepmen arose as 0110 man and declared
that , wluio they were willing to have Mr.
Sayors ronomluatod nuil re-oleeted. they
would not prefer an indorsement of Ills vote
for the Mills bill , and If it vras attempted
they would not only defeat the resolution ,
but would defeat him for ro-clection.
DON'T IIP. OVnU-CONTIDBXr.
Republicans continue to ailjureone another
In Washington against over-fonlideneo on uu-
fount of the swooping victories achieved at
the recent elections in Oregon , Vermont and
Maine. They say tiiero is but one tiling now
to fear outpulo of English money , ana that is
iiver-con lldence. They point out the neces
sity and the acceptance by the democrats of
that necessity , for perfect organisation and
determined cftort. That the Mills bill and
Iho foreign imliey of the president meets
With the hearty disapproval of the people at
largo there can bo no question in the faeo of
the election returns.
There is not so much heard in democratic
circles hero about "keeping foremost the
tariff issuo" us there was some tlino ngo.
U'ho overwhelming defeat m those three
etatcs named are laid at the door of the demo
cratic party for its tinkering with the tariff.
Representative Sowdeu of Pennsylvania , the
Ituudnll democrat who voted agulubt the
Mills bill , and whoso public building bill was
fotocd , and who was defeated for ronomlna-
tion because ho was not in with the adminis
tration on the tariff issue , reafllrms his do-
tilaratiou thut the frco trade democrats will
bo routed In November. Ho says there will
bo efforts put foith from this tluio onto
confuse the public mi ml as to Urn
real position of the democratic paity on the
tariff. Mr. Sowdcn is n genuine democrat
yet , ana has boon ono of the leading men in
tola party for many years. Ho docs not en
dorse the president's position , however , on
the tariff. Ho contends that the party as It
In now managed is inconsistent , and that It is
trying to straddle the issue. Mr. Sowden
repeated to-day that the object of Chairman
Hrico In asking him to go upon the stump to
talk tariff was to hold in line the tariff pro
tection democrats. Ho thinks the adminis
tration wilt not bo so anxious now to talk
free raw materials and u general enlargement
of the free list us it was a short time ago. nnd
lie says further that thu declaration of the
president In favor of tariff reform by the en
largement of the free list mentis free trade
now and not after luvhllo , as sure as there is
uch a thing as free trado. Mr. Sowden ,
although a democrat , takes the same view of
this phase of the president's message that the
republicans do , and thai Is that free trade
moans an enlargement of the frco list and
nothing else.
IMWIOVEMBSTS IX AllMT IMPLEMENTS.
An old regular army officer who was with
Ouster on many of his campaigns , and who
has seen twenty years of Indian campaignIng -
Ing , nnd who fought during the war , was dis
cussing , to-day , the Improvements which
have boon ttuuio recently in lire arms : Ho
Mid :
"I havu ) nst attended some of the "shoots"
for the regular army , and have , during thn
post year or two. participated In a number of
exhibition shooting contests -.vhoro men in
all branches of life wore contestants. It Is
nmozing the improvements which hnvo boon
ttmde In rifles and side arms during the past
fonr yearn. I remember that In IVT only
eleven .tears ago wo were In a terrible In
dian light on the western frontier , and some
Indians were located in the trees at a dls
tauco of only 400 yards from
our men , and they were , with whai
Vtaa then considered n finely-Improved ritlo ,
cutting down our soldiers , Thu otllcer In
command called up his sharp shooters and
cllrcctoU them to dislodge thu Indians from
the trees. The men Instantly measured the
distance with their eyes , nnd rojiliod thut
they wore holplcss that those Indians wen
400 yards away , and that their gnus would
not curry with any degree of accuracy that
distance. Wo were dually compolltHt to form
n line and make a charge with three or
four companies to dislodge three or four
Indians. Wo would encounter no such diffi
culty now. The only thing that would bo
ni'tvssury would bo to direct a company to
fuo , uud the eucuiy would bo dislodged with
* * . .
* < ,
nsmuch accuracy as If it were only fifty
yards distant. I can easily remember , for It
was only twelve or fifteen yours ngo when
wo began our practice for target work. 'Wo
started In nt n distance of 100 yards
nnd then lengthened by increasing the dis
tance twenty-live yards nt n time. Now wo
never think of starting a recruit in nt target
practice under n distance of t\\o hundred
yards , and wo havq rifles which will shoot
with n high degree of accuracy ono thousand
yards , nnd wlUkill a man nt a distance of
llftcon hundred yards. I have men In my
command who. with their glebe sights , will
take n ritlo nnd hit n man nt almost every
shot nt a distance of six or eight hundred
yards.
"Ono of the Improvements which will bo
made In tlio charge of guns will be in the
heavy reduction of the weight of lead in the
cartridge. Wo will presently bo shooting
only one-third as much lead , and probably
more powder than at present. The guns wo
have nowhnvo a recoil of ono hundred nnd
sixty pounds , which would indicate too much
powdef is already being ufccd. Hut with the
reinforced cartridges which are coining into
use Wo can shoot tlirco times ns
much woicht of powder as of lead. \ ,
A bullet of thirty-two caliber will carry
ns far as ono of forty-two , nnd will do as ef
fective servlco. In fact it is hold , and I be
lieve truly , that a thirty-two caliber ball will
do more effective service than ono of forty-
two caliber , oven if thejpowdor is increased
proportionately behind the largo ball.
It is not a matter of surface In
the bullets of rifles and side-arms
when effectiveness is considered. A needle
fired through a man's heart or brain will kill
him as quickly ns a minnltvbal ) . The army
intends to devote a great deal moro attention
to pistol practice In the future than It has in
the past. The use of the side-arm has been
greatly enhanced by not only the cavalry
tactics and drills but by the infantry as well.
When wo have our men drilled so that they
can use with great accuracy a rlllo at n dis
tance of l.OJO yards , and then the carbine nt
COO yards , and can on the run or in the saddle
lire pistols with reasonable certainty n dls
tanco of from two to four hundred yards ,
warfare , with its dynamite and torpedoes , its
Is getting down to something like a scientific
basis. " Punuv S. HKATII.
VICTIM OK SHARKS.
The Sail Predicament of n Poor Man
nnd Hto Family.
William Quigley , with his wife nnd flvo
children , are located at the police station.
Their case is ono which merits compassion ,
Mr. Quigley is a veteran of tlio war and a O.
A. U. man. Ho fought in the battle of Cold
Harbor , and carries upon him many Hears.
Tlirco years ago ho moved from Wisconsin
Into Jewell county , Kansas , hoping to better
his condition. Ho took a farm near Omeo ,
Jewell county , and his llrst year's crop
proved a total failure. Tlio second year ho
\vas little bettor off. During his second \ ear
in the state ho endorsed a note for a neighbor
for a team of horses. His neighbor falling to
pay the note , ho was held by the holders of
the note and compelled to sign another note
giving ns security his own team.
lieali/ing that he could not raise the money
Quigley went to them and stated the fact ,
asking for a continuance. 1 his was refused ,
the parlies stating that they must cither
have the money or his property. Scomtr the
predicament ho was in , and tl.o hard winter
through which his family would have to Buf
fer , Quigley concluded to leave his horses
and crop as security , and go back to Wiscon
sin. Ho traveled homeward with his family ,
his few household ejfcets in the
wagon. Tlio shark who hold the mortgage
telegraphed to Omaha to hnvo him arrested.
It was known in police circles yesterday that
ho had passed through Lincoln on his way
Ilo was apprehended while trying to get
aeioss the river , and thooQIvor who was sent
to arrest him had not the heart to d < 5 it. see-
in ? the predicament the man and his family
were in.
Tlio wife and children of Quigly wore made
as comfortable as possible by tlio ofilcors at
the station last night. The oldest child
is fointeeii years old and the
younpcst ono but four years of ao.

whoso Intention it was to defraud. Will

England nutl Free Trade. '
NEW YOHK , Sept. 15. [ Special Telegram
to THU Dec. ] Chaunccy M. UCUQW. lias al
ready given an exhaustive review ol his im
pressions while abroad , particularly.regard-
Ing the feeling toward the president's- article
on the tariff question. Regarding this , Dcpew
said :
"Thero have been two overwhelming
proofs of the almost universal English sym
pathy with Mr. Cleveland _ ns tio..expectod (
champion of English polittcu\ economy and of
Tree traite. It was u general outburst of
English rejoicing that came from English
papers when Cleveland's free trade
message reached them. That proofjiccds no
argument to make It clearer or stronger. The
almost unanimous jubilations of the English
loumnls over the message , and their accept-
unco of it , as based on the same economic
ideas that Cobden realized in his cham
pionship of English frco trade ,
could not bo argued out of ex
istence , misconstrued or misunderstood.
Since the civil war closed no American
theme has so stirred out1 English cousins and
no American event in politics has so enkin
dled English hopes. To my certain knowl
edge , that is , according to dcflnlUi impres
sions conveyed to mo by the ablest , most
representative and best informed English
Journalists and politicians that the llrst
chorus of English delight over the promulga
tion of English political economy by the
American president would still bo kept up
but for the fact thut It has been gradually
mode clear that English support of the
American president on the issue of free trade
and protection was us damaging to its object
as it was obnoxious to Americans , who nuvor
mingled freely with Englishmen in England.
However , ouo cannot begin to realize how dif
ficult it is for them to adopt un.v sort
of cautions policy in their puullu utterances
on questions of International impoitancc.
More than ono shrewd diplomatic game of
English premiers , in which very largo Inter
est * wore at stake , lias boon defeated by the
indifference or rccklcssnessof English news
papers as the effect of their free talk about
a foreign government whoso friendly dispo
sition was courted.
"The most distinct and effectual warning , "
continued Mr. Depow , "was that given to
the English newspapers by William Henry
Hurtbort. formerly editor of the Now York
World , a rabid free trader , who has become
an English lory of the most extreme shade ,
and whoso book on Ireland so captured the
London Times that it bestowed on Mr. Hurl-
bert an extraordinarily long notice ,
filling several columns. This gave
Hurlbert a position , giving him ,
us an ex-American Journalist , a
chance to advise. English journalists how
they could best aid Cleveland in the frco
trade campaign , and ho did this in the col
umns of the Times at great length and with
a keen appreciation of the American situa
tion. Ilo told the Englishmen that Cleveland
land was not n fir-o trader , only a lovciiuore
former , and thut his scheme * of revenue reform
form wore endangered by the sart of Eng
lish expressions that had been appearing.
Such n warning from such n source was
heeded to a very largo degree , but I met
scarcely any representative Englishmen who
did not fully understand Mr. Cleveland's
policy as based upon free trade principles , or
who did not feel toward Mr. Cleveland nnd
his message just the s imo way Iho English
journals all talked wl.mi that message gave
them the most agreeable surprise they over
received from the United States. "
' What is the preval'lng ' sentiment among
the leaders of English politicand journalism
as to Cleveland's retaliation message ? " asked
the reporter.
"I can easily answer that. The prevalent
theory is that Cleveland made his sudden
change of front on the fisheries question
from patient forbearance and liberal con
cessions to English and Canadian interests ,
to warlike aggressiveness , in order to re
capture the Irish vote that had been won bv
Hlaino. Englishmen look uK | > n this swift
transformation as being ono of the many
extraordinary phases of American politics ,
and think it n more electioneering dodge ,
which need not occasion the slightest fear as
to actual results. I met no Englishman who
did not express himself substantially to this
effect If ho talked nt all upon the subject.1'
"What do you tlunk about a campaign at
homo ! "
Of course , I watched the campaign with
thu deepest interest , but BO much lias hap
pened since I loft England that I cannot Judge
of all thu details of the campaign. Of ono
thing I am sure , however , and that is that
protection is the ono gloat Issue. It n supreme
premo , nnd overwhelms all other issues. If
the great mass of northern voters are made
aware of what preservation of protection
means , especially to wage workers , there
will bo no doubt of the election of Harrison
and Morton by a vote so decisive ,
that English ideas of political
economy will not disturb or threaten .for gen
erations to como the marvelous development
of American resources and industries under
republican policies that are the wonder of all
the English observers of our growth. Uy
that time we can defy all competition. Next
to the civil war the present campaign is the
most important struggle this country has
known since IS40 , and it is fitting that a
grandson of the president elected on the Is
sue of protection should bo the loader of the
distinctively American side of the campaign.
Harrison's Visitors.
IXIMANroMH , Sent. 15. The first delega
tion to visit General Harrison to-day was
Company GO , O. A. It. veterans , trom Missouri -
souri , en route homo , ut 1 o'clock. They
marched to Harrison's residence carrying
their muskots. At . ' 1 this afternoon a delega
tion of 1,200 arrived from Now Albany , Ind.
A delegation fiom Now Albany und Floyd
county , over ono thousand in numbur , was
thu next to pay its respects to General Har
rison. Their .spokesman was James Atkin
son , who spoku at some length , touching the
wages and tariff , to which General Harrison
responded in an approprlatespoueh regarding
iho same.
Late in the afternoon the Texas veterans ,
headed by Colonel Dogiors , chairman of the
republican .state central committee , called ut
Harrison's residence and presented him with
a beautiful not of mammoth Texas steer's
horns.
It was 4 o'clock when a train arrived
bringing 800 members of the Irish-American
republican club of Chicago. They weru mot
at the depot by several hundred members
of thu Columbia club and local
Irish organizations and escorted
with music and flying banners
to thu now Denison hotel , whoron reception
was held , This was the first distinctively
Irish-American delegation that has visited
General Harrison since his nomination , ' A
reception took place early in the eVenlng In
the rotunda of the hotel , nnd John F. Hoggs
acted us spokesman. After touching upon
political issues ho concluded : '
"General Harrison : Uy your noble utter
ances in behalf of the down-trodden people of
Ireland you have assisted much in building
up the strong public opinion which exists to
day In America , and which , beyond a doubt ,
will in the near future solve the question of
the right of the Irish people to self-govern
ment , and for this you are entitled to and
have our sincere thuntts. "
General Harrison then addressed the dele
gation.
Ho said in part : "I am sure you who have
given such convincing evidence of your do-
votlou to the American constitution and ili
and to American institutions will not falter
In this great civil contest. Who , if not the
Irish-Americans , versed in the sad Btory of
the commercial ruin of the island they love ,
should bo instructed In the bonoflcont Influ
ence of the protective tariff. [ Loud and
continued cheering. ] Who , if not the Irish-
Americans , should bo able to appreciate tbo

NuwYonK , Sept , 15. [ Special Telegram
to THE Ur.t : . ] The storm that Charles A.
Dana's editorial castlgatlon created at demo
cratic headquarters hns not subsided. The
Sun stirred up a second storm by calling the
itinerant democratlo chairman a "rainbow
chaser , " stating that ho had bolter stay out
west if ho thinks the democrats can carry
Michigan , Minnesota , Wisconsin and Illinois ,
Dana said that Senator Gorman was tem
porarily In command at democratic head
quarters ; that ho was a man of "hird polit
ical sense , and n worker not u rainbow
chaser. " Ho also added that It would bo
better for Colonel IJrlco to stay out west to
superintend the canvass In Michigan , Minnesota
seta , Wisconsin and Illinois , leaving matters
in New York , Now Jersey and
Connecticut to .Senator Gorman. The
hcgira of Colonel Hrico to the western states
is part of the programme that would have
been carried out some weeks ago but for the
publication of the fact that Senator Gorman
had actually superseded Colonel Uricc as
chairman. Gorman is now in clmrgq , and
will practically control the campaign in the
cast until election.
A prominent democrat said to-day : "Hrlco
was sent to the west merely to lot him down
easy , and that uencciorth ho would bo only
the nominal chairman , while the power be
hind the throne would bo the veteran politi
cian , Senator Gorman. " Ho added that
Hrlco would have been sent west sooner , but
the republican P.HIOM found out the pro
gramme und published it , thereby causing
the delay , because the democratic leulors
did not wish to humiliate the colonel.
The programme , moreover , was for Eugene
Higgins , late appointment clerk at Washing
ton and the most skillful nf democratic ward
bosses in Haltlmoro , to como on and assist
Gorman. This fell through bucauso the
president , It is reported , said he could stand
Gorman , but thought it unwise to thrust Hig
gins again before the public. It would give
the republican papers a theme to harp upon
and ulienote his mugwump allies. Higgins
was relegated to thu secret service work and
visited headquatters Just twice after being
mentioned in ccnncction with Gorman's
practical assumption of Colonel Hriue'i place.
President Cleveland , it is said , feels much
happier now that Gormtin has taken charge.
In this connection a curious change Is re
ported to have taken place in President
Cleveland's personal feelings towards the
Maryland senator. Hitherto ho could not
endure the democratic bovi of Maryland and
especially his s.t.r'olig anti-muginu tip and
anti-civil service reform ways. Hi even
wont so far as to rafuso to aid the doughty
senator in the last state election in Alary-
land because a few mugwumps in lialtunoro
declared against' ' the bjss. Corn ! in tri
umphed ovnr all op | > hsitioi : and complotly ig
nored Cleveland. Ho nskod nothing and was
independent. In his extremity at the utter
incapacity showiivUy the voluble Colonel
Hrico the president had to send for Goi m in

A Vnlnnblo Arclmcoloiglcnl Discovery.
Misox CITV , la. , Sept. 15. [ Special to TUB
BEK. ] Iowa 1ms always been noted as hav
ing been the homo of an aboriginal race , but
it wa * not until recently that dohnito traces
of the now extinct race have boon found. In
nn opdn tcld'ncar Charles City mounds of
peculiar structure have long been noticed
and Prof. Webster , a noted archaeologist ,
hns made an examination of them and some
of his discoveries are attracting n great deal
of attention from the scientific world. On
opening ono of the mounds the skeletons , in
stead of being laid on the original surface of
the ground and the earth piled over them ,
were found in the bottom of a trench about
two foot deep nnd seven feet long. In this
were also found a number of .specimens of
pottery , some of them showing considerable
artistic skill. Several were ornamented
With designs , the impressions evidently hav
ing been made with twisted cords. Ono
specimen showed on the bowl marks of the
pressure of woven cloth. The ilm of ono
has an ornament exactly like that found on
pottery taken from ancient British grave
mounds In the mounds , or near them , have
been found arrow tips , spear heads ,
stone axes nnd pieces of pottery al
most innumerable. Prof. Webster savs
that in some far away ugo there was cvi
dontly a populous village' that place ,
several acres being covered with evidences
of it. Among the Implements Is ouo which
is frequent ! } found in sucli mounds , out
whoso uses so far nro conjoctur.il. It is of
stone , cresent shaped on ono side , flat on the
ether , coming to n point at each end and
grooved in the center. It is about eight
inches long und two inches in diameter in
the thickest part , nnd is llnoly polished. The
pottery found is ol good quality , most of it
thick , skillfully moulded and well burned.
It is evident that this series of mounds con-
stitntad an ancient burial place which may
have boon used for many years. Pieces of
charred wood have been found among the
skeletons , the grain showing it to hnvo been
oak of exactly the same kind as that grow
ing now on the ground. A peculiarity of the
skeletons is that the processes of the bones
to which the muscles were attached were
vorv prominent much more so than like pro
cesses in the bones of modern people. This
shows a gieat muscular development , while
tie ! peculiar skulls show a correspondingly
weak mental development.

A Tjittle Sensation Which Makes
Democratic Managers Mad.
Ninv YOIIK , Sept 15. [ Special Telegram to
TUB HIB. : | Decidedly the most emphatic
sensation which has thus far developed in
the campaign among Irish-Americans has
been caused by the expose of the Independent
Irish-American association. This
ent - asso
ciation had mot with u very enthusiastic
welcome from certain newspapers und col
umns of space were devoted to extolling
their influence upon the Irish vote in tills
campaign , and in the reproduction of resolu
tions in which they declared as Irishmen for
Cleveland and Thurman and4ariff reform.
Edward J. Uowo was named as president
and John J. Meronoy as secretary of this
now and powerful factor , which was to re
call to the democratic party ( W.rOD
Irish votes which were cast for
Hlaino in 1S3-1. Captain John Dolnnoy ,
who has charge of the lush-American
organisations at tlio rcpuDlican national
headquarters , exhibited recently to the
corrobpondentof a Hoston paper a written
proposition from Kowo , made some woaks
ago , to the republican national committee , in
winch ho offered the aid and votes of from
ton to llfteen thousand Irishmen for a con
sideration of $1,01)0 In cash. This offer the
rommittoo declined after holding off upon
the pretext of a pressure of other business ,
during which time tnay Investigated and
found the organisation was mythical. Of
co'irso ' the proposition was never seriously
considered , In addition to this exposure ,
John Gallagher , a loading number of the
Clan-na-G.ml and Ancient Order of Hiber
nians of Pittsbnrg , denounced Moroney as
an Irishman who had betrayed the
Irish cause in Ireland , and in doing
HO used the vigorous language of
"traitor and thief. " When the paper con
taining this exposure began to arrive yester-
dry the exposure caused a m > st profound
sensation. The democratic press bent out
their roportois post haste to receive a denial
from Messrs. Kowo nnd Moroney. Thcso
two worthy men professed the greatest Indig
nation poi-siblo , and threatened most iliro
bodily vengeance upon Captain Delane.\ and
Mr. Gallagher. Uepnrtera then went to Hit-
two 1 isl named mon , taking copies of the ex
posure , and were shown Mr. Uowo's written
proposition and nn application madu by Secre
tary Meronoy for a position as clerk nt , the
republican national headquarter * . This
morning the democratic papers did not make
the slightest allusion to the exposure Thy
nriuagors at the democratic head
quarters are powerless to move while
Colonel Hi Ice is in Chicago , but
when ho returns they will urge upon him to
publicly throw I { owe , Moronoy and their
associates overboard as the best moans by
whioh the party will cam the rcspoot of all
unsaleable Irishmen.

CnicAoo , Sopt. 15 [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Hr.B. ] The ease of Charles Hodenleok ,
a well-known member of the old-timu anar
chist groups , on a charge of having in his
possession explosive matter without license ,
promises some Interesting developments ,
although the twllce are ns yet very closo-
mouthed. Inspector Honllcld WHS asked to
day If there was any truth In the statement
that Hodcntock was connected with the plot
for which tlronckniid his follow conspirators
were recently arrested and hold to the crim
inal court. The inspector said that most of
the rumors In connection with the case are so
far guesswork , but ho does not deny thorn.
Ho said that ho was busily engaged in work
ing on the case , aud hoped to bo able to say
something next week. Until that time ho
would make no statement.
Tliis evening it is reported In an
evening paHuthat | Hodenleck has
mudo a confession , nnd the following
is told in regard to his arrest- About two
months ago Inspector Honllold was Informed
of the queer actions of the man and Immedi
ately set about to put him under police sur
veillance. A detective was stont out to locate
him , and , if possible , to work In with him
and flnd out his plan of operations. Detective -
tivo Phil Miller was detailed on the woric
and succeeded in locating tlio man nt No. M
Green street. Under the assumed name of
Peter Martin ho BOOH scraped an acquaint
ance with Hodonlci'k , who took him into Ills
conlldenco and unfolded his plot to him. For
two weeks Miller slept with Ills victim , and
then , under pretence of leaving the eity ,
suddenly disappeared , nnd , nssumlnga differ
ent disguise , shadowed Hodonieck night and
day for three weeks , keeping his superiors
posted as to the man's whereabouts by
nightly reports.
About two weeks ago Hodonieck became
alarmed and , fearing that his plans were
about to bo unfolded to the police , ho moved
to 15'J ' West Washington street , where ho
could pursue Ills work to a better advantage.
Followed by his shadow , Hodenleek paid
daily visits to the reference room of
the public library and there studied the man
ufacture of explosives , the library containing
a number of volumes on this subject , and ho
was soon familiar with their contents. Ho
also procured a copy of Herr Most'H treaties
on bombs and their manufactuie , to which lie
applied himself attentively At other times
he took flying trips about the cit\ , locating
different buildings which he intended to
destroy as soon as he had his explosive ma
terial perfected Ho had already intimated
to his friend "Martin" his fear of handling
dynamite and the consequences attending Ills
capture should any of the dangerous stuff bo
found on or near him. This accounts for his
desire to procure an explosive ccpmllj deadly
in Its work , but which would apparently bo
considered harmless should ho fall Into the
hands oi the police. Little dreaming that
his now found friend was a detective In the
employ of the city , ho carefully detailed tlio
plan mapped out by himself to avenue the
deaths of Spies , Parsoux , Fischer and
Eiijrcl , and thereby elovatu himself in
tlio eyes of his friends to the position
of a martyr to the cause of anarchy.
His llrst point of attack was to bo the city
buildings , and without exciting the suspicion
of any ono but his shadow ho oxploicd every
nook uml corner of Iho city hall , where ho
thought Ins explosive would bo most deadly
in its oftoct.
Last Tuesday ho had everything in readi
ness for his diabolical plot , and set to work
to obtain chemicals with which to manufac
ture his explosive. With thu dlicctioiiH ho
bad obtained from the library ho went to
Fuller & Fuller's drug store nnd laid in a
supply of chlorate of potash oil of tar , salt
petre , sulphur and several other Ingredients ,
a composition of which would make an ex
plosion moro deadly in its effect
than even dynamite or glycerine. Ho
then went to the wiircrooms of the
Hagard powder company and purchased
100 feet of fuse and thirty fnmlnating caps.
Inspector Hontlold hud been informed of the
new move on the part of the dynamiter and
ordered his arrest before ho had a chance to
make a dangerous movo. Two ofllcers were
detailed from the Desplalncs street station
to effect the arrest. Hudeniuok was pointed
out to them by his shadow , and when ar-
rohted exhibited not the slightestsurpriao , 0.1
lie said lie rather suspected something of the
kind. His room was searched and tlio dan
gerous stuff confiscated and taken to the cen
tral station. Tlio explosive which Hodon
ieck was about to make , it is said , nets as
would u hugo torpedo , which , being thrown
on the ground , explodes with torriflo force ,
wrecking everything in Its path.
The police say Into this evening that they
nro of the opinion that Hodonieck is u mono
maniac on the subject of anarchy , and has
been so HIIICO before the time when ho ex
torted money from Police Justice White
under threats of death borne time before the
haymarkot riot. Ho has said to acquaint
nnccs since his release from the penitentiary
that ho Intended to avcngo the death of thu
"martyrs. " Inspector Honilold said to night
that they had locked him up to noon the safe
side , but ho considered tlio man only a
lunatic.
