IXJNDO.V , Deo. 5. The Tlinos tomorrow
will publish the following letter , tinted No
vember 14 , from Us special correspondent at
Itiodo Janeiro : In reviewing tlio causes
lending up to the revolt , the correspondent
Buys that with the fall of Dora Pedro the
aristocracy withdraw nil connection with
the government , and tha wealthy mgn who ,
wore then In ofllco were replaced by needy
tdvcnturcrs , whoso solo object had been per
sonal gain. .
Continuing the Times' correspondent
ays : ' 'President Pelxoto opened his ad
ministration well by canceling tlio decree
permitting the Bank of the Republic to con
tinue the emission of notes , which had
been done In the Interest of a ring of spec
ulators. But the hopes of reform were soon
dissipated when ho began removing the
governors of the states in an undcVhanded
manner. Thence onward , ho took the bit In
his mouth and made a series of blunders *
nnd sot asida the spirit and letter of the
constitution in every way. "
Cnstlllio tin tin la ur.
The Times' correspondent then proceeds
to show President Polxoto's alleged breaches
of faith rcgnrdlnc Rio Grande do Sul by
persecuting those who had been engaged in
the revolt , which action led to the presi
dent's rupture with Admiral do Mello , who
resigned thu ofllco of minister of marine in
consequence ,
Much sympathy , the correspondent adds ,
was shown in Rio do Janeiro for the people
of Rio Grande do Sul who had been engaged
in tlio revolt , and popular subscriptions
were opened between May and August , IS'JIt ' ,
for the relief of the Insurgent sick. These
sudicriptious were crowned with success ,
and it is said the constantly swelling fund
was very galling to President PoUoto and
led to its promoter , Dr , Govern , being im
prisoned.
Dtucmsml Ho-Rftt.tlilUliIni ; u Mcin.irohy.
Coming rapidly to the history of .tho pres
ent time , the correspondent of the Times
states tha , on November 7 the insurgent
leaders -hold a conference on board the
Aquldaban nnd discussed the question of re
establishing a monarchy in Brazil. It was
then shown that the states of Pornambuco ,
Bahia , Santa Catharma , Rio Grande , and
the majority ot the population of Mlnas
Geraus , San Paulo and a part of the city of
Rio Janeiro favored a return to the
monarchy. It was thereupon decided that
the efforts of the insurgents should bo dU * ,
reeled to that end. The faut that Genera !
Pego , n well known monarchist , was In com
mand of a division under President Peixoto ,
nnd that Colonel Mcndes , a violent oppo
nent of republicanism , commands the na
tional guard , is positlvo proof that there
was no intention , when the revolutionary
movement first broke out , of any attempt to
re-cstnblish the monarchy.
It was nn afterthought , engendered by
the wishes of the people in various parts of
the country , and it is yet to bo seen whether
the Insurgents will make It the aim of their
present struggle. A Brazilian in high offlco
has Just remarked to the Times corrospond-
dent that ho believed tlio end of the war
would sco the finish of the praetorian sys
tem of government iu Brazil , no matter
which sldo won.

LONDON , Doc. 5. In connection with the
arrest of a man at Hamustoad yesterday the
sheriff's officer searched a room nt 27 Chan-
eery Inno belonging to u tnan of the name of
Schneider , who is reported to have Just ar
rived from the United States. When
Schneider saw the officer coming ho de
camped , apd the officer searched his room.
Among the goods found was a tin can con
taining Hi numlto and inclosed in two wooden
boxes. They wore taken to the Bow Street
police station , .
Theio the dynamite was placed in n els-
torn of watei' and it fizzed nnd foamed over
the sldo of the cistern , The pollco after
wards dispatched the soaked dynamite ta
the government oxplqslvo laboratory at
JJounslow in a cab whcro U was examined
by experts who declared that the tin can of
explosive was filled with fuses and had ov-
erythlng complete for use and would have
had tcrrlblo destructive effect had it ex
ploded.
I.ooMne for the Ou-.icr.
The pollco are engaged in an active search
for the man iu whoso lodgings , not far from
the Law Courts , the explosives' were dis
covered , nnd the impression is gaining
ground that the pollco have really discov
ered , accidentally , a plot to cause a dyna-
mlto outrage which may have had for its
* object an explosion In the Law Courts , It is
reported thlfiaftetiiooii thnt the pollen con
template making u largo number of arrests
today or within the near future.
Inquiries In Irish circles soon after the
discovery of the infernal machine became
known show tint the Irishmen' scoff at the
idea that Schneider had any connection with
the extremist t > cctlon of the Irish nation
alists , : iyiti that hU name \van sufUclent to
class him as a foreign anarchist , and it
would probably show that If tha xploslvo
found In his lodgings was really nn infernal
machine it was probably sent to London by
the anarchists of Now York or Chicago , who
nro also charged with supplying the an-
nrchUts of Franco , Austria and Spain with
funds and other means of causing cxplo-
lions.
The Evening Standard , in a Into edition ,
has caused n renewal nnd Increase of the
excitement following the discovery of the in-
Jcvutil machmro In Chancery lanu by re
porting that the pollro have found a number
of bombs in u swell cafe Iu the west ctil of
London.
J'OUUll III IIU IIOUII- .
At this hour it has transpired that the
discovery of the large dynamite bomb or in
fernal machine- was mndo at .Schneider's
residence ntSi Parliament Hill. Ilcmpsteatl ,
where the sheriff's officers wcro removing
gooJs. The officers there found several
bottles of nltro-glvoorlne , and bouomlnp sus
picious they comeyed the bottles , as well as
nil of Schneider's belongings , which had
been romovod.to a warehouse at the address
in Chancery Lane , whcro the Infernal ma-
thlno was eventually found. At the Chancery
Lane warehouse the police made a further
and complete examination of Schneider's be
longings nnd this drew attention to n metal-
bound traveling trunk , which on being
opcno.l was found to contain n metal ruse u
foot long , six Inches wlda and eight inches
hll'li , To this metal ease were attached
three fuses. The pollco took the molal case
nnd Its attachments to the Bow Street police
station , whcro It was placed In a tub of
water.
The Associated press agent , having been
informed that n statement has been pub
lished in the United Stales that no explo
sives were found inside the metal case , is
able to stain the story stating that twenty-
four pounds of dynnmtto was found InslUo
the metal case discovered in the trunk
came direct from Scotland Yard , the head
quarters of the pollco horo.

PAUI9 , Dee. 5. The declaration of the
policy of the now ministry was read in the
Chamber of Deputies and iu the Senate yes
terday. The declaration says thnt Franco
never moro strongly demanded the mainte
nance of order and the defense of the princi
ples which the French revolution gave as
basis of modern society , namely , Individual
liberty and the riehts of property.
The declaration of policy sajs the govern
ment will oppose socialist doctrines ,
hhowlng Turbulence Already.
There was a row in the Chamber of
Deputies last night. The Boulanglst , Mory ,
objected to some remark made by M. Haynal ,
minister of the Interior , and shouted :
' You'ro a wretch to talk like that. "
The moderate republicans called for order
and demanded that M. Mery bo censured.
resident Many vainly tried to bring the
house to order and ho llnally called on M.
Mery to explain his language , but M.
Mery's reappearance in the tribune evoked
a scene ot tumult baffling description. When
quiet was restored M. Roynal tried to re
sume his speech , but ho was violently Inter
rupted by M. Pellctan. who shouted : "You
have concluded an alliance with the Boulang-
Ists on the right. "
There were further noisy soenes in the
chamber before it was possible to take a
vote.
Whore Their Insecurity IU' .
On the amnesty question the republican
newspapers of this city hail the ministerial
declaration as heing thoroughly consonant
with the aspirations of the country. On the
other baud , the socialist and radical news
papers hold thnt though the declaration is
moro conciliatory tlmn that of M. Dupuy
the opposition must strongly censure tlio
aggressive attitude of M. Raynul.
jt is stated that the general opinion ex
pressed in official circles is that yesterday's
sitting of the Chamber of Deputies shows
that the government has no majority and
that the Casslmir Porier ministry cannot
last. ,

WASHt.NOToy , Dec. B. When the senate
mot nt noon today the appearance of the
chamber was in striking contrast with
the BCCUO presented yesterday. The
galleries -were all but vacant and
less than twenty-five senators wcro present
to hear the chaplain's prayer. A quiescent
air prevailed during the reading of the
journal , and senators busied themselves in
correspondence or listlessly glanced over
newspapers.
The vice president laid before the scnato
a communication from Governor Altgcld of
Illinois , advising the suniuo that the Mate
of Illinois , in pursuance ot the invitation ex
tended to the states by congress , had caused
to bo made and placed iu statuary hall of the
national capltol n statue in broti7C of General
James Shields , ono of Illinois "most
distinguished warriors and statesmen. " The
communication stated that the statue would
bo unveiled at " p. in. on December 0 , 1893 ,
and invited the friendly co-operation of the
senate. Mr. Cullom g.xve notice that tomor
row ho would introduce an appropriation
resolution.
Among the petitions presented was ono by
Mr. Dolph of Oregon of the Oregon Horti
cultural society , for the maintenance of the
present duties on prunes.
Copli-a of liiMrurtlmis Wanted.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution , for which
ho asked present consideration , requiring
the president , as far in his opinion it
shall not bo inconsistent with the public
interest , to communicate to thq scnato copies
of nil Instructions which have been given to
any representative of the United States or
anv naval oftlcer since March 4. 1891 , in
reference to the public order in Hawaii or
the protection of the lives and property of
American citizens , or the recognition or sup
port of any government there !
Mr. Sherman of Ohio , while expressing
himself as in favor of the resolution ,
thought , in the absence of the chairman or
the commit tee on foreign relations , nothing
could bo done but to refer the resolution to
that committee. After some further debate
the resolution was laid over.
Mr. Dolph Surprised.
Mr. Uolph of Oregon proceeded to address
the senate on the part of the president's
message relating to Hawaii. Ho began by
expressing his surprise at the utterances of
the president in his message. Mr. Dolph
asked ho\v could it be possible that the ad
ministration had been determined upon the
forcible overthrow of the oxistm ? govern
ment and the restoration of a corrupt and
llermtous government ? If such had been
the intention of the administration , the ex
pression by the press of the country of an
almost unanimous opinion against such a
course , he believed , would have changed the
purpose of the administration and caused
him to modity his Instructions to the Ameri
can minister to Hawaii. Mr. Dolph read a
part of the reference of the president iu bis
message to Hawaii and asked whether the
report of the personal representative of the
president , acting under secret instructions
and conducting an ex pnrte examination ,
was entitled to more credence than the
olileial report of the former American min
ister to Hawaii ana of American naval ofll-
cers and the representations of the represen
tatives of tlio Hawaiian government to this
country , and of the information received
from the Christian and intelligent poisons
of Hawaii since the revolution. It would
have ocen more satisfactory to him , said
Mr. Dolph , and to the country , had the
president been more explicit as to how it
was proposed to undo the alleged wrong
that had been done by those heretofore
representing this government , and as to just
how the administration was to proceed to
restore the status existing nt that time of
the last forcible intervention. It would
have been more satisfactory if the president
had given to the senate the instructions of
the present minister to Hawaii , so the sen
ate and house might know what was pro
posed by the government.
A < linlnlBtritlou'B 1'owcr Questioned.
A remark by Mr. Cullom as to whether
the president had the constitutional power
-to restore the oucen forcibly led Mr. Dolph
to say rather earnestly that were that the
question there would bo n wide difference of
opinion between tha president and himself ,
and still ho uas warranted in assuming that
something moro than moral suasion was to
bo exercised to change the government of
Huwull.
In the course of his speech Mr. Dolph was
asked by Mr , Vest , democrat of Missouri ,
whether ho was arguing In favor of the
policy on the part of this government of
securing the Hawaiian Islands and holding
them as a colony under what is known in
Europe as the continental system.
Mr. Dolph replied that ho favored the
annexation of the islands ; the giving to
them of a suitable government and the ox-
oivising of the control over thorn. "Tbo
most the United States could do , " continued
Mr. Dolph , > 'if it did not euro to annex the
islands , was to withdraw its support of the
provisional covornmcnt and allow it to take
its own cour c. "
Nuturo nr the Present Government.
Mr. Gray , democrat of Doloware , inquired
whether the present Hawaiian government
was a republic.
It comes nearer that than anything else , "
replied Air. Dolph ,
"How near does It como to iU" asked Mr ,
Gray.
"I am not going to discuss that , " 'replied
Mr. Dolph. "It was a government es
tablished by the people. It is not a mon
archy , that is certain. "
"It Is not a republic , that's certain , " said
Mr. Gray.
Mr. White , democrat of Louisiana , asked
by how many people the present government
was established.
"As many as over established any govern
ment there , " replied Mr. Dolph ,
Mr. Dolph referred to the fact that noth
ing was made public In the direction of the
intention of the administration until con.
gross had adjourned , when there could bo no
congressional interference.
"i'lio report of Mr. Blount , " said Mr ,
Dolph , "reads more like the plea of a zealous
lawjor for his sldo of the controversy than
like the unprejudiced and impartial decision
of a judge. ' 'Personally ho would sooner taltu
the statement of ox-Mlulstcr Stevens , the
statement of Mr. Thurston , that of
honorable men who were engaged
in the rebellion , the testimony " that
had come from the enlightened
portion of the Hawaiian community , than to
take the one-sided , colored report of Mr.
Blount and the statements presented in re
gard to the affairs in Hawaii. "

WASHINGTON , Doc. C , The Catherine of
members of congress offered an opportunity
to arrive at the real sentiment of the demo
cratic party on the new tariff bill which has
been presented by the majority of the com
mittee on ways nnd moans. There are , of
course , democratic jiicmtiers of the house
who are not satisfied with the bill , and who
will no doubt vote for some changes , yet It
is apparent from the way they talk that if
the bill should como. to a vote in itn present
form it would pass with few dissenting
members among the democrats. If the re
publicans have any ho'po iluit there Is suf-
Hcieni.dlssatlsfucthm to defeat the bill they
have made a mistake , for the democrats
Eocrn determined ( o have the bill as soon us
it can possibly bo passed , "
It seems not to be'so ' much the question of
the rates as the , settlement of the whole
question .that the , domocr.its are most inter
ested iii. A inombQr of the demo
crat 10 majority of the committee
voiced this sentiment of a number of demo
crats when ho said the bill would not need
much discussion in the house , but what was
wanted was to get ttio'blll over to the scnato
tit as early u date as possible. Ho indicated
that even If It should bo necessary to apply
the closure rule that 11 was very liuely that
the democrats \yould put the bill through
without very much debate.
It would , of cnursje , bo necessary for the
democrats to have behind them a good work
ing majority , or at'least a quorum of the
house in favor of thcj bill.
Hoonru 11 Quorum Easily.
It now looks as If ahero would not bo much
difficulty In securing such n quorum by the
talk Indulged in by the democrats that have
thus fur given every1 . 'indication of support
and of these who suid nothing. In all the
number who have been hoard talking on the
subject , none so far ; oven In private conver
sation , have said tfiat unless so mo modifi
cations are made tHey "will " oppose the bill.
Of course , all Is , pot sentiment among the
democrats , Then ? aro. plenty of them who
say they will maltor qn effort to cot some
thing for their own I particular district , but
they will support tl < o bill ns a party measure.
The president in hikmessage points out a
method they mljfht qdppt when ha says that
it Is not expected that all can bo satisfied ,
but that in the erflU issues and upon a
great question gonuasacrifice must bo made
for the benefit of .tho great principle in
volved. The president's approval of the
\Yilson tariff bill will go long way toward
uniting the party if there irnd been any
differences of opinion ot auy remarkable
degree.
What. Is most often heard in connection

POUT Tottxsnsi" , Dec. 5 In nn Interview
today Captain Cutler of the bark Kllckltat ,
which arrived from Honolulu yesterday ,
said : ' Minister Willis ( old mo ho was sur
prised to meet so many broad-mindedInw-
nblding and thorouchly Intelligent people In
Hawaii. Willis is religiously Inclined , and
to a consider.bio extent nssoel.Ucd with
the missionary clement in the Islaud and
came in contact with the ablest men in
Honolulu , all of whom are strongly opposed
to tlio restoration of thu monarchy , and
especially the queen , on account of her sup
posed unchaste conduct.
"This class of citizens were careful to sco
that Willis was correctly informed of certain
facts that lilount did not choose to consider.
"After the steamer Alameda sailed 'or
San Francisco and up to the time the ICIlck-
Itat departed for this port a spirit of un
easiness prevailed lest Willis was trying to
turn the friends of the provisional govern
ment off their guard and let the royalists
gain possession of the government buildings.
.Murlnrx It duly to l.uml.
"While I was visiting Commander Barker
of the United States
man-of-war , November
7 , an oDlcer came aboard from the Adams
and asked if a short leave was to bo per
mitted. Barker replied no and that the
crows should bo held In readiness to land at
a moment's notice. Willis told me just be
fore I sailed that the United States ought to
take decisive and immediate action , as the
present policy was running business inter
ests on the islands. "
The Honolulu Commercial Advertiser of
November 9 , two days after Willis sent out
the statement to the public relative to his
instructions from Washington and his deter
mination to await further advices before at
tempting to execute the orders , came out In
a strong editorial and said :
Knitorscil ndilorlutly.
"United States Minister Willis was no
doubt accurately reported the other day
when ho declared that until ho heard from
Washington no change would take place in
the present situation nor would any be al
lowed. He added that 'Any attempt made
by any person or persons to make trouble
would bo promptly checked and punished. '
Were the representative of any other power
near the Hawaiian government to make
such declaration there is no doubt that not
only this government but the United States
would resent it in the most energetic manner
as unlawful interference.
"We do not question the propriety of Mr.
Willis' declaration. Wo simply point out
that the government of the United States
holds itsrlf charged wtth the special duty of
maintaining public order , and security in
Hawaii. To' this extent , at least , America
already exercised partial protection over
this country.1 ?
The paper further says that ox-Minister
Stevens was merely obeying a standing order
of the State department given by Secretary
Buyurd in Ib87 to the American minister in
Honolulu , and caused to bo given to the
naval forces there whenever neccsarv "for
the maintenance of public order. " Slovens
has been abused by the present administra
tion for obeying President Cleveland's ex
press orders. If Minister Slovens is to bo
blamed for his interposing last January ,
then much moro is Minister Willis to be cen
sured for threatening to punish disturbers of
the peace , which Stevens never did.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 5. The State depart
ment was evidently already Informed of the
news received in the Associated press dls
patch from Honolulu by way of Port Townsend -
send , so far ns it convoyed the intention of
Minister Willis to take no further steps
toward carrying out Ills Instructions until ho
hould hear further from the department.
But so far as It conveyed the public utter
ance in Honolulu by the minister of his in
tentions , It was news to the department ,
to the president and his cabinet. ' There
were indications to show it was not agreea
ble news , and the impression was conveyed
that the administration is rather disap
pointed at the manner in which Mr. Willis
has thus'far conducted his mission.
It is evident that the State department re
ceived by the last steamer ( the Alumcda )
the news that Mr. Willis had determined to
defer the carrying out of his instructions
until ho had heard further from his govern
ment.
It Is a fair presumption that the revenue
cutter Corwln carries to him the further in
structions for which ho asks. The para
graph in the president's message referring
to Hawaii was written after tlio additional
Instructions to Minister Willis had been
sent. This paragraph may bo taken to re-
llect the spirit of thu Instructions. By this
it will bo seen that whatever doubts or ap
prehensions Minister Willis may have ex
pressed of tho'accuracy or creed foundation
of the Blount report , President Cleveland
has not lost any of his absolute faith in the
acuracy of the Blount investigation nnd the
Justness of his conclusions. It is highly
probable , therefore , that the new Instruc
tions uro a repetition of the old.
Only Expected to Mediate.
An Associated Dress representative re
ceived today , from a reliable source , an in
timation of tlio intended course in this mat
ter , The extent of the actual lorco intended
to bo employed in behalf of reseating
Lllluokaluni on thothrono , has probably been
exaggerated. The purpose of the adminis
tration is believed to rather act ns a
mediator between the two parties in
dispute nnd try to prevail upon them to
ucreo between themselves. This was con
tingent upon the confident belief based on
the explicit assertion contained in the last
letter from Mr. Blount , that the provisional
government would fall to pieces when noti-
lied that annexation was impracticable ,
loavlug an open dispute between the ox-
queen and the provisional leaders , In that
letter , which bus not yet been published ,
Mr. Blount , under Unto of Honolulu , July 21 ,
said : "Tho action of the United States is
awaited by all as a measure of necessity.
This condition , It can bo assumed , will remain -
main until the proposition to annex is ac
cepted or rejected. In the latter contin
gency no sudden movement is likely to
occur , The present government ran only
rest on the use of military force , possessed
of most of the arms on the islands , with a
small white population to draw from to
strengthen it. Ultimately it will fall , with
out fall. It may preserve Us existence for a
jear or two , but not longer. "
Enough is known of Minister Willis * im
pressions , gained since hie arrival in Honolulu
lulu , to make it certain that ho does not
agree ith Mr. Blount In this , at least.
Whether this impression caused his determi
nation to await further instructions from
Washington is not a matter of conjecture.
Jlauallnni Well I'lcased.
The Associated press telepnun bringing
late nev/s / from Hawaii vas read in the tuo-
inet meeting today from the ofllco copy ia
advance of publication. It > vas read with
isterest , and was the subject of consultation
n the cabinet , but probably caused no
change In the plan decided on after hearing
rom Minister Willis by the Alameda. The
Inwalian minister , Mr , ThUrston , was not
nt home this morning , but the little croup of
tawnltnhs ttt the same hotel were glad to
earn the news by wayot Port Townsend ,
ind expressed tlio opinion that it gave cause

ent government.

NEW Onuuxs , Dec. 5. The first damage
suit against the city , growing out of the
Mafia lynchlngs , came up in the United
States court today. It is that of the widow
of Bagnutto , ono of the lynched men.
This case is the first of several to be tried.
The plaintiff claimed that Bagnutto was n
cltl/on of Italy ; that the accused was declared -
clarod Innocent of the murder of Chief Hen
nessey ; that the city failed to protect the
prisoners , although called upon to do so , and
was bound to afford such protection under
the treaty between this country and Italy.
The city in turn held Unit Baguatto was a
citizen of the United SUtcs , and that thu
court was without jurisdiction , The facts
of the lynching wcro proved during the
trial principally bv newspaper reporters.
Judge Hogors , attorney general during the
Hennessey trial , testilied that Sheriff Vll-
lero had called upon him during that morn
ing and sought protection against an antic
ipated attack. Governor Nichols referred
them to the mayor , and while they were
starting for Mayor Shakespeare's residence
the lynching occurred. Ono of the wit
nesses claimed to bo able to identify
people in'the attacking crowd. The plaintiff
did not desire the names given , but City
Attorney O'Sullivan claimed the identify of
the parties should be disclosed , as they wcro
leading citizens , known to bo able to stand
damages , and- they should ho Sued" .is 'tho
city'should only bo cited iu case the acts
were those of a lawlcss.mob.
The court differed with the city attorney ,
but gave him until tomorrow to file authori
ties.

Martin Anderson , n cleric in Holmrod A
Hanson's grocery store at the corner of Six
teenth and Webster streets , lulled an un
known woman last night and committed
suicide shortly after committing the murder.
The inotlro for the awful deed will , in all
probability , remain n mystery , as nothing
could bo ascertained from the surroundings
which suggested any plausible 'excuse for
the crime.
Anderson Is collar clerk In the grocery and
was last seen by Mr. Holinrod Just before
the store was closed at 7 o'clock for the
nieht.
Ahotit 8:13 : several people wcro standing
in the hardware store north of the grocery
discussing the events oC the day. Suddenly
a commotion arose in the collar and boxes
and barrels wore heard fnllmg'to the cement
lloor. Above all the noise was heard a
woman's voice calling for help. The ilrst
words the startled listeners heard wore :
I'renrlnct Calls Tor Help.
"Helpl Oh , my God , ho Is killing mcl"
Then there were sounds of a dcspcrato
strusgle , followed by several sickening
blows and the falling of a body.
The screams were plainly heard out on the
street and Detective Vaughn , who hauponcd
to bo in the drug store just across the street ,
ran over to tlio grocery store and , finding
the front door standing open , pushed his
way inside. Ho called for help and , hearing
noises in the cellar , wont down the stops.
At the foot of the stairs , and directly
under the elevator , was a largo uool of blood.
There was no light in the place , and , hear
ing some one- moving around , ho ran to the
top of the stops niut called for some ouo to ,
come with him. By this time quite n crowd *
had collected and his 'call was answered by
Deputy United States Marshal Carroll ot
ChadronJ3. P. PctorsOn , Theodore Wolff
and Lewis Young of this city. Wlf&n th'o
men I'caehod the foot of the stairs they
found a candle , and , striking a light , they
began looking about them. There was a
trail of blood loading from the DOO ! toward
the front part of the basement.
Had Cut Ills Throat.
The men had hardly started in this direc
tion when they heard a sound as if some ono
was trying to cut a uieco ol cloth. This was
followed by n gasp and a heavy fall. The
men rushed toward the place from which
the sound came and found Anderson breath
ing his last , with n terrible looking wound
in his throat. At his side lay a long bladcrt
pocket knlfo which was covered with blood.
The body was lying face downward In the
subterranean passigo under the sldowallc
on Sixteenth street. Turning to the loft the
men discovered the body of a woman nil
huddled up in a little coal bin , where it had
tieen dragged by the murderer after ho had
committccd the awful deed.
Anderson was still writhing in the agonv
of death and the woman made two or three
gasps after being discovered and then both
were dead. Tho. coroner soon arrived on.
the scene.
No Ona KncHvs tlio Victim.
The bodies wore convoyed to the morgue ,
but at a late hour last night the Identity of
the woman had not been discovered. It is
thought that she is n woman known as
"Swede Annie , " who lives cast of Washing
ton hall on Eighteenth street. A reporter
called at tlio place last night , but could got
no response to his Knocks on the door ,
Anderson has been working forllelmrod &
Hanson for about nine months and has been
regarded as a faithful employe. lie has had
no trouble with any woman so far as is
known , but his brother says that he was In
love with a young girl who lives near
Twentieth and Ohio streets. Ho has a
brother who is coachman for Mr. William
Coburn. but Ills rolntlvo could offer no ex
planation of the tragedy , Ills brother lived
with him at Twenty-first and Webster
streets. Ho was a single man , about 25 year *
of ago.
How tlio Woman Wax Killed.
Under the grocery store is n double base I
ment which is filled with groceries , There \
are several aisles leading to dlfforont portions
tions of tlio collar , and from the sounds
which attracted the attention of the neoplo
upstairs it Is evident that Anderson and the
woman were under the hardware store
when the quarrel commenced. After tlio
first surugglo the woman Rooms to have
gotten away from her assailant and run for
the stairway. Ho pursued her and when
she started up the steps ho must have
grabbed a heavy pivln ? utono used ir
wolghlcg down a kit of mackerel and struck
her on the head , The blow was repeated
several times nnd the woman's head was
beaten frightfully , She fell in under the
elevator , and after discovering that she was
dead the murderer evidently tried to conceal
the body by drugging It out under the side
walk. It was then that ho was discovered ,
und in tv moment of desperation draw bin

being arrested ,

was the object of the crime. The woman ,
