SSt- The statement Of the case Of State
VS.. Elitharp Of which the trial was com
menced and then discontinued without
judgment, which appeared in the REaIsrKn
Of two weeks since, was not 10 any sense
q partisan or unfair or incorr cot one,
The least possible was said which could
be said BY an enterprisipg public journal
in giving the news Of the day. Mr.. Eli.
tharp's complaint that he was not allowed
to give his version Of the affair 10 answer
to the statement made was. therefore, en-.
entirely uncalled for. We could no,
publish q partisan statement Of the case
for either side for two reasons, either o.
which are sufficient:
First. our senior editor was committed
to a policy Of silence as to the merits Of
the case by being present and participant.
ing in the consultation which led to the
discontinuance Of the suit.
Secondly, in our deliberate judgment,
the best interests Of the parties and Of the
public could not be subserved BY any
further discussion Of the matter, while
they are seriously jeoparded by the pub.
LEGATION Of a partisan statement. 1t is O
matter of sincere regret that wiser ooun.

MORE OF THOMAS DOINGS.
An Attempt to Blow Up the Celtic
A STRANGE BOX FOUND IN
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Capt. Kennedy of the
9Th precinct, was informed to-day that wood
en- box OF very mysterious character vas
found in the storeroom of pier 80 North River,
occupied by the White Star line of steamers
The Capt. investigated and learned that the
box bad been brought here on board the steam
er Celtic which arrived at this port from
Europe on the Oath of October. The steamer
left Liverpool for Queenstown and New York
on the 18th day of that month, and on the day
before she sailed VIM. X. Thomas. the monster
who caused the terrible disaster to the Mosel,
and who had engaged passage in the Celtic,
had brought a box on board at Liverpool repre-
senting that it contained $4,000 in gold coin
for its full value. He was told that insurance
was not necessary; that it would be placed in a
special room where it would be kept safely
He was also informed that before insur-
ing the box it would be necessary
to have it opened for inspection.
To this he demurred, and it was placed lin a
room here 1t remained undisturbed through
out the entire passage. Thomas came here as
passenger on the Celtic, and when the box
was brought ashore he represented to the Gus
tom House inspector that it contained cart
ridges which he had brought over for his own
use, as be was going on an extensive hunting
tour through the Western states.
He asked leave to place the box in the store
room on the wharf and he would call for it in
a few days. He left it there but never called
Tor 1t again, and 1t remained there uudiSturbed
till to-day. The curiosity of the officials of the
steamship line was aroused by the reports of
the Mosel catastrophe and they opened the box,
which was found to contain smaller one, four
bags of large bird shot and oiled canvass The
box was lined with steel about an eighth of an
inch thick, and was of pine wood. 1t was
nailed down securely and fastened with strap
iron The smaller box contained two bags of
shot, and two other bags were lying on the
bottom The bags were marked "Walker,
Parker & Co., London, best shot No. O." There
was no address or mark on the box 1t was
ascertained that Thomas took room at the 9th
Avenue Hotel, Oct. Oath, remained there three
days, and when he left is supposed to have
sailed for Europe, his project for the destruc-
ton of the Celtic having failed, The box ia
now in the hands of the Iolice.

December that the contents of the circular note
of the United States to the European powers
regarding Cuba. Spain thereupon instructed
her representatives to explain to the various
governments that the Cuban question was not
only of American but o, European interest and
that the complications between the Uuted
States and Spain might have incalculable con
sequences for Europe as they would encourage
the Csrlists and make prolonged resistance
and revive The hopes of the tederalsts. repub-
licans and socialists The Austrian government
received these declarations iu friendly man
ner and will not reply to the long American des-
patch, which was only read to Count Andrassy
and which not only repudiates any intention of
annexing but in reality contains no definite
conclusion.
LONDON, Jan. "a despatch from Berlin to

Cuba, the German commerce being seriously
prejudiced by the Cuban disorders. The Ger
