Crowds of curious per sons swarmed In Greenwich park today , packed the terrace in front of the celebrated observatory and filled all the elevated portions tions of this popular resort for Londoners from which Is obtainable so extensive nnd Interesting a view over the river. The day was fine und cold. Stakes dotted the ground where portions of the dynamited body of the anarchist Boudln had been found. All of these slakes were in line with the spot where the body was discovered. At the post mortem examination a dozen metal boxes , similar In their contents to the bombs used by Boudin , were produced. Tlio publicly unnounced'incetlng of the 'Autonomlc club , under the auspices of the international workers group , was attended by only fifteen persons. Fourteen of these were foralgncrs. The speakers who had been announced to address the meeting did not appear. After watting two hours Gibbons of tlio commonwealth group made a speech , in the course of which ho urged effort in righting the wrongs they complained of. Ho held up Valllant , Pallas and "other mar- llyrs" as worthy ot his hearers' emulation , llundreds , he said , were ready to sacrifice their lives in the great cause. He himself was perfectly prepared to do so , as they had nothing to live for , but were simply the slaves of the capitalists. Speeches , he added , were useless and physical force was neces sary. When the government and Mr. Asqultli abandoned making Maxim guns for use against the people the latter would re linquish the manufacture of dynamite bombs. Tlio speaker advised workers to read books upon chemicals. Other speeches , similar In tone , but in for eign languages , were made to the audience , which made up In enthusiasm for the smallness - ness ot the gathering , nnd wildly cheered at every opportunity tho"scnllmcnts ot tholr leaders. Detectives in citizens' clothing were pros , ent and scattered in all parts of the bull. This may have had Its good effect , for out sldo of the violent language tho' meeting wan nn orderly one.

The British troops quickly turncTl out , but had scarcely taken their position when a sharp volley was flrcd Into the camp. Thlc was promptly replied to by Iho British , but from the way tbo attack was made , tbo village being half surrounded , It was at llrst thought that ono part of tbo British force was firing on tbo other , and Colonel Ellis gave the order to cease firing. However , when the British stopped firing the Bliarp whizzing of the enemy's bullets showed that the fusllado came from an at. tacking party and firing was resumed by tlio llrltlsli , whoso spirited reply ultimately caused tbo enemy to cease. Captain Londy commander ot the frontier police , wus shot In the arm , but bo kept on encouraging hl& men to maintain a steady flro until ho was shot dead by a bullet through the spine , After the enemy bad been repulsed nnd day had dawned It was seen the assailants were French , tbo long thick grass having pro. vented tholr nationality from being dlscov. crcd In the first Instance.

LONDON , Feb. 18. Four thousand per sons assembled In Trafalgnr square today In answer to an appeal for a manifestation against the House of Lords for destroying the clauses In the parish councils bill which called for n reforming of tlio London vestries. The meeting , with much show of feeling , adopted resolutions condemning the House ot Lords for Us action In this matter. The speakers , who were vociferously cheered tlmo and again In the course of their re marks , were Joseph Arch , Dr. Charles L. D , Tanner , the Irish nationalist ; Dababhal Naorojl , the well known merchant , and five other members of the House of Commons. Joncpli Arch said Lord Salisbury had done a wonderful service when ho had made the rope wherewith to hang the lords and put this rope In their opponents' hands. The meeting adopted resolutions declaring the HOUBO of Lords to be a mischievous nnd useless Institution and demanding It should bo abolished forthwith. The clause of the amendment , which came In for the most vigorous condemnation was that moved by Lord Ilalfour ot Durlclgh , to prevent Iho application of the special pro visions of the bill to the London vestry on tlio ground that the vestry had been wholly taken by surprise by the government. Lord Kllborne on the part of the govern ment In opposing llio amendments says lie saw no reason why the House of Lords should abstain from reforming the vestries. All the government proposed to do was to assimilate the franchise to that of 'the elec tions of district councils In other localities , to abolish the qualification now required for vestrymen und to apply the ballot act and the corrupt practices act In those cases. Lord Salisbury , In answer to Lord Kll- bornc , declared It was only when the House of Commons had become exhausted and re duced In Its numbers that the government suddenly conceived the desire to reform the vestries without giving cither to those bodies themselves or to the people of Lon don generally any opportunity of examining into the nature ot the particular changes proposed or Into their necessity. Tlio amendment was carried by 107 .votes to 2C. CLOSINf ! OKKKMOXIiS. Hrantlfdl Kmllngof the Celebrations In Iloniir of Lt'o'H diihllt'r. ROME , Feb. IS.

The details of this impressive ceremony were arranged by the executive committee of the Jubllco fetes. Sixty thousand tickets were given out for this final celebration and'lt was estimated 50,000 people plo were present. The muss was celebrated at the papal altar. Leo was borne Into the basilica In the sclda gestatoria at 9:40 : o'clock. Ho was preceded by a cortege of cardinals and bishops. His appearance was followed by ( bo enthusiastic cheering of the Immcnso multitude , among whom were many distinguished foreigners , diplomats , Roman nobles , .Knights of Malta and leaders of depu tations. The entrance of the pope was announced by a musical blast from the silver trumpets. The Interior of tlio vast basilica was elab orately decorated with red nnd gold hang ings , and thcro were four special tribunes or stands erected besldo the altar for ho diplomatic corps , tbo Roman aristocracy and the beads ot thedlfferent relglous orders. At the conclusion of the mass Leo Intoned the Te Deum , which was chanted by the whole congregation. The pope , then reseating him self in the scdla , and with tlio tiara on his head , blessed the multitude. Ho then re tired Into the chapel Delta Pieta amid pro longed cheering. The pope has considerably Improved In health , nnd ho Itoned hi a strong voice.

REPUBLICAN TO SUCCEED BLATCHFORD Suggested that the President Muy I'lncl Sotrriil ( loud .Men In New York Whoso CoiiHriimtlon Would lie Settled Jluforvlmml. WASHINGTON IUJRBAU OF THE DDE , 513 Fourteenth Street , WASHINGTON , Feb. 18. President Cleveland Is being urged to nominate a capable republican or mugwump to the supreme court vacancy to which ho nominated Hornblowcr nnd Peckbam. The vacancy was left by the death of a republi can , Justice Dlatchford. There are on the bench two democratic associate Justices ap pointed-by republican presidents. Justice Field of California was appointed by Presi dent Lincoln and Justice Jackson of Ten nessee by President Harrison. There arc many republicans In New York fit for the position who would not be objectionable to Hill or Murphy and n number of other demo cratic senators , und who would command the nulled support of all the republican and populist senators. Ex-Senator and now Representative Henry W. Illulr , n republi can of New Hampshire , believes President Cleveland should appoint a republican to the vacancy , nnd says the position rightfully belongs to tlio republican party. Ho adds : "Mr. Cleveland could thus throw upon Mr. Hill the onus of having deprived the democrats of another repre sentative upon the bench. When the nomi nation cama before the senate the repub licans would certainly support the nominee. If ho was a fit man for the place , nnd the ad ministration democrats would support him , as they support everything the president does. I should like to see the president fol low out this suggestion. "As for Mr. Hill , It seems to me that ho will bo the strongest eastern man Jn the democratic party when the time comes to make nominations In 1S9G , This certainly will bo the case If ho continues to nvinlfnst as much strength as he developed since ho has entered the senate. American political history affords few instances , and Indeed 1 do not now recall one , where a senator baa successfully led two big fights against nn administration. Sumner went down before Grant and Conkllng before Garfleld , but Hill has come out on top twice In succession. If ho does not lose his hold on New York , ho will bo a formidable candidate. " COST OF CABLE MESSAGES. If the proposition "for the United States government to assist In the laying of , a cable from some point In southern Call- forn'n ' to thf Sandwich Islands bnd .suc ceeded , the Hawaiian difficulty would bavo long slnco terminated. The olllcluls at the ; _ * uv.iai cmviit , usiiic u Jin uuviiiK any sympathy or prejudice In the affair , are Just now congratulating themselves that there was no cable communication between this country and Hawaii. They 'say the tele graph tolls during the past year would bavc been enormous. As It was the telegraph bills1 on account of the Hawaiian affair bavo been confined to sending messages be tween hero and San Francisco , where they have been received from or taken away by the malls. The revolutions in the South and Central American republics during the past year or two have entailed considerable expense upon the Department of State In the way of cable messages. For instance , about $6,000 was expended during tbe latter part of the little Incident In Chill. The correspondence was largely conducted by wire between this gov ernment and Us minister. The Instructions given American representatives through the London legation alone during the past' year exceeded by some thousands of dollars the appropriations for that purpose , whllo the legation In Brazil expended $4,150 last year , when only $1,800 was allowed by law. The disturbances In foreign countries necessitat ing cable communications averaged during tbe past year over $2,000 each for tbe Ameri can ministers. Where there was not money In' tlio contingent expense account to meet these expenses the ministers advanced them , and now the Department of State Is asking for a deficiency appropriation of $10,000 , mak ing a total of $105,000 , to .cover the extraor dinary expense of our foreign missions last year. There Is a prevailing Impression that when a minister In a foreign country receives a "collect" cablegram or telegram , or package of any kind , ho simply tells the person de livering It to "churgo it up to the United States. " On the contrary , the minister or consul pays spot cash. If thcro Is no money In the contingent fund allowed him by the State department for such expenses , he simply goes down Into his private pocket , makes the payment , and renders the bill to the Department of State. * Under 'democratic rule that department Is always hard up , and so tlio bill has to go to congress and everything and everybody must watt until an appropriation is made. It hi Just so In every branch of the government. Uncle Sam has come to bo a very closo-fisted and hard- tip sort of n person. Ho stands off his creditors until he Is about to bo sued , and his credit Is bad , when ho goes to congress and begs for a llttlo money. HAD YEAH FOR PROMOTERS. If would seem that this Is a very unsuc cessful and unpropltlous year for the lobby and the corruptlonlsts in Washington. Everything the lobby has put Its hands upon has failed to succeed. The scheme to sub sidize certain fast through malls on railroads and steamships was advocated In tlio house at the e'urly part of tlio special se&slon by well known lobbyists , and It failed before it oven materialized In a bill. Then the lobby attempted to get rights of way through In dian reservations for certain railroads , but u blunder or two exposed the schema and It failed. When the lobby for the Whisky and Sugar trusts had completed Its prelim inary work nnd the Wilson tariff bill went to the house , the newspapers pointed the fin ger of scorn at the work , and It failed ig- nomlnlously. The headquarters for the Whisky trust 1ms been at ono of the best known private hotels , nnd n sulto of roomx has been engaged - gaged by the Sugar trust for some weeks at a hotel Just across the street from the other lobby. The managers have been to brazen as to openly send for prominent men In congress and take them right Into their rooms. Thcro they have attempted to Influence these men , but public indigna tion has been worked up to such a point that It lias come to bo a scandal for any decent person to even visit these rooms. The cappers for the Whisky und Sugar trusts have lounged around the corridors of the capltol and stood outsldo of the hotels where the headquarters are located , with all ot the effrontery and openness of ticket Boilers for a aldo show at the circus. The exposure of the operations of these men through these and oilier dispatches bus already defeated the alms of the corrup- tlanlntB. It Is stated that before the Wil son * tariff bill Is finally disposed of the methods of the lobby will bo ventilated on tlio floor of the senate or the house , and that things will become very uncomfortable for Eomo public men who have given en couragement to these parasites on the po litical body at Washington. POPS UP AND COMING. Tbo popullntH have opened their political campaign committee headquarters here , and have begun to flood tbo country with ( lot money , free silver , free trade und kindred literature , mostly In the form of copies of. speeches delivered In congress.

GERING , Neb. , Feb. 13. ( Special to the Bee. ) A startling proposition , which has been quietly discussed In the western section ot the state , found Its first public expression at the Irrigation convention ot Scott's Bluff and Cheycnno counties , hold In this city yesterday. It Is no less a scheme than the annexation of the territory lying west of the east line of Colorado , now what Is termed the "panhandle" of Nebraska , to the state of Wyoming. The counties which would bo nf. fected by this proposed segregation are1. Deticl , Cheyenne , Banner , Kimball , Scott's Dluff , Dawea , Sioux , Box Butte-nnd Sheridan. The reasons assigned for advocating such n novel plan are almost entirely conflncd to the Irrigation phase In Its bearing upon the future prosperity of the largo area In volved. The claim Is made that the greater portion of the state of Nebraska Is oblivious of the great necessities of the pcml-arld portion of the state , that as u whole tin-re Is no sympathy with the Irrigation Idea In the populous sections of the state , nnd that the western end of the state Is left entirely to Us own resources to work out Its salva tion as best it can. It Is n fact that Wyo ming Is as a state fostering and encouraging Irrigation , nnd granting to the producers under that system of agriculture the most favorable legislative conditions. There are many protective features to the Wyoming statutes , and the advocates of this plan urge It on the ground that the Interests of this section of Nebraska are Identical with these of Wyoming , whllo In many ways op posed to the accepted conception of the In- terc'sts of Nebraska as a whole. They claim that from tlio situation of western Nebraska with relation to the great mineral fields of Wyoming , there will bo found the future markets for Irrigated produce , and that It will bo simply a step toward getting Into touch ns between producer nnd consumer. The Idea has found many warm advocates who are actively engaged In missionary work along this line , and no doubt exists that , whether eventually successful or not , the movement will assume tangible proportions before long. A number of speeches were made In favor of tbo annexation theory , and It Is even understood that steps looking toward tbo necessary legislation are being taken. ATTHACTIONS OT SI1IN1CY.
