lo TIIH Ui'i' J A sensational itory was made
public to dnj about a plot among some of tlio
dcto < lives employed by tlio London Times to
Love a HrltMi ship blown up bv ilynamlto In
> New Yorlt harbor. Tlio plot Is said to have
been linlc lied In Kansas City by emissaries
'Ironi Scotland Yard nml tlio American de
tectives who me vvnrlnuir with tbetn for tlio
purpose o1 strengthening the London Tune *
in its flifht uipilnst I'm neil and roieing the
.American government to confirm the extra
dltlon 1 ro.it v with Croat llritaln. Two
tliousnnd dollars Is s-ild to bo tlio sum agreed
upon as tliu proprr price to bo paid for blow
lug up the steamship
That tlino is foundation for the story is
believed bv many IcndhiK Irishmen In the
v conntry Patrick Kgan , of Lincoln , Neb. .
who Is at the Oiand Central hotel , was told
the story to day , and was mked by a ic-
porter to give his opinion.
"If the information jon hnVo , " said Mr.
Egan , ' -is not strictly accurate , It is nearly
BO. I know that for months past detectives
from London and Dublin have been over
liere. The HulTalo story nhowod how eager
the Times people arc to grab at anything to
bolster up tholr case. "
"Do vou think tills steamer business is a
Loax ! "
"No , " said Mr. Reran , "such a sohemo
lias been hatching in Kansas City within the
during which tlio Unglish doloetlves
lave boun ho busy in Ameiica "
"Who aie the conspirators ? "
"For obvious reasons I must decline to
mention mimes , but I believe the aim nnd
pnly object of such n scliomo is to affect
American public opinion and allcnnto Amer
ican svmpathj from the Irish movement. It
Mould also haven detrimental effect on the
present Times investigation. There is an
other most important consideration , as was
brought out in tlio late campaign. The tin-
glisli government is extiemcly anxious to got
nu extradition tieaty with tlio govcminent
l > v which it cun lay hand at any time on any
Jiishman who is obnoxious to it politically
pon't A on see that the blowing up of nn Knir-
lish steamer in Now York baibor would re
Suit in England forcing the hand of thcA.ncr-
lean government and compelling the Ameri
can congiess to pass nn extradition treaty in
tlio form that England duslrcsl 1 will tell you
you that 1 have reason to know that poisons
who are intcicstou in the plot are no friends
of Parnell or of the lush movement. J
think when the proper time comes wo cm
connect them diiectly with the English gov-
Binmenl agent. "

Cedar Uapids atul Ottumwa. Presiden'
Torbort authored the statement that uhilo
no dollnito iictlon had been reached , jet the
decided trend of the discussion Indicated the
belief that tlio calling of an extra sessloi
prior to the decision of Judge Hrcwor wouh
ho premature. A resolution was adopted to
the effect that the governor and other state
officers should proceed at once with the en
Cot-cement of tlio law luioun as house Hie
SiS , under \\hich the commissioners have
ll.xcd rates in the case of all inilroads that
had not been lulit'vod bv Injunction. The
resolution stated further that If the decision
of Judge Hi ewer In the famous injunction
cases should bo in favor of the rniltonds Iho
commisslGiieis uould liuvo the moial sup
poit of the Jobuuis in disregarding the ill'
junction uiul going ahead us if nothing had

'Jlicso resolutions wore presented to the

warm discussion. Ono 01 tlio Jobbers from
Hurlinston was very violent in his denuncia
tion of the railroads , and said that the com
missioners wcio independent of the courts
and icspoiisiblo only to the people. The
governor lathui intimated that thu eoinmls-
sioncis might disregard Judge Blower's In
junction should his decision be ugmnst them ,
but said that the question was ono they must
deci.de for themselves , and ho would not take
the losponslblllty of advising them. Com
nilssionor bniitli suggested that , while in
structing the uillroads to obe\ the law , it
would bo perhaps as well for Urn state olll-
cers to set an example by icspceting the
courts and their decisions.
