CHICAGO, February lO.-Some days ago
Government detectives discovered that
theits OF mail matter were being commit.
ted on mail cars between Rochester and

Southern trains. Several arrests were
made last night. The police made what
they consider the most important arrest
for I've years, in the person OF John ?.
Leist, a young man OF good appearance
who has been assistant weighor at the
postoillCe. On his person were found
documents and money to large amount,
and under his lead the olliCerR discovered
In house OF i'll fame, on the South Side,
a large additional amount OF valuables,
some OF them In the original envelopes.
The total amount recovered waR from $l2,.
90 to $4,000. His method was to cut a
slit IN the mail pouch aud abstract the
lDtters. His arrest was not made until
about midnight, and the officials both Of
the city and postoitce obsLinatoy refused
for some unknown reason to give any in.
formation about him. These facts are
obtained from sources outside, but are re.
liable. When captured Leist tried to bluff
the officers, but was taken to the station
house, and when an examination revealed
his guilt, he made full confession. He
Is recognized as an old crook.

ing the Irish agitation. Dr.. MCCabe, in
the name Of the Irish Bishops assembled
at Maynooth, Expresses their gratitude
for the paternal letter OF the Pope and
their sentiments Of devotion to him, and
proceeds to say that evil and pernlcious
laws for centuries reduced their aocks to
the extreme Of misery. Their country,
though naturally fertile, has often been
visited by famine, and The population,
though active and industrious, hos been
thrown on foreign charity. Reused
at length from their leihargy, the
Irish people urgently demand the
abrogation Of those civil laws, which
the Bishops earnestly pray God they
may obtain. The reply continues:
1T cannot bs denied that acts and speech.
es which we all deplore have blaGkened
The cause otherwise most just. While con.
demniDg such exCeeses and regarding
their perpetrators as the bitterest enemies
OF their country, we cannot forget the
aIliCtions and straits which for centuries
caused our people to despair OF Justice.
Approving the end which the present
agrarian agitation has In view we feel deep.
ly certain that the means adopted can In
nowise be approved. Last June, we warned
our hoCks 10 restrain the agitation within
the limits oil equity and moderation. We
shall not fall In our duty now or neglect

Holiness" The Archbishop assures the
Pope the accounts Of Ireland In the Eng.

with renewed expresslons Of veneration.
