MONTREAL. Anril

MONTREAL, April 10.
Whalen, the man arrested at Ottawa,
on suspicion, was examined yesterday,
and at the request of the prosecution.
remanded till the 10th. A revolver,
one barrel lately discharged. had been
taken from him, and the ball found in
McGee's door, exactly correspondent
with those yet in the pistol. It's thought
he will be proved beyond doubt the
murderer of Mr.. MCGEE. A quantity of
correspondence with New York Fenians
has been unearthed, duplicating a good
many notables in that organization.
A quantity of nitro-glycerine, import
ed from New York, has been discovered
here. 1t was brought in on foreign or
ders. The discovery has caused great
excitement in the city.
An Ottawa special says Whalen is a
Fenian who belonged to a Quebec lodge,
and afterward to New York circle
There is very little doubt now but that
he is the real culprit.
a plot has been discovered To blow up
the Horses OF Parliament by means Of
nitro-glycerine. 1t has produced the
most intense excitement in every circle,
and extreme vigilance is maintained by
the military and civil authorities to pre-
vent any outbreak.
An Ottawa despatch says; The detec-
tives are steadily accommodating evidence
against the prisoner Whalen. They
have found that house nearly opposite
Mrs. Trotters where McGee boarded, has
for some time been vacant and that the
doors were left unfastened. On the
back door-steps of this house two tracks
are visible; they are those Ola man who
passed inward and outward once
Whalen's boots fit the tracks on the
snow exactly. This discovery accounts
for the sudden disappearance of the
murderer, who passed through the va
cant house to Wellington street, a short
distance from the Russell House, where
Whalen was seen Immediately after the
murder. When asked for his boots this
morning, he said: These are not the
boots | wore on the night OF Mr. Nc
Gees murder.

minutes time the entire stern of the

statement OF one OF the Passengers res

demoraliZed, even the officers. and no
effort was made to lower the small boats.
The only survivors a far as known

Grant as a Soldier and a Statesman
which will be ready for publication,

The title intimates its contents. 1t will
no doubt be eagerly sought for as soon

of some accurate account Of General
Grants whole course in the field Of poll
tics, a. well as of battle. Ample means
for illustrating his opinions upon the
questions of the day, exist in his reports,
letters and acts; though this fact is gen
orally lost sight of. If the materials are

Grants forte Is action and his "head-
quarters" always properly located, that
he is "a reliable as Statesman, a. he is
as a Soldier. The name Of the author

gentleman of the country, everyway
fitted for the task, and enjoying pecu-
liar advantages, deriving the most i'm
