Determined 10 Make an Example.
CHICAGO, August 2d.-A special from
Washington says: The authorities here in
tend to make an example of certain parties
who are suspected of writing threatening
letters to prominent officers of the Govern
ment, if sufficient evidence of villainy can be
obtained. Several are discovered or Bus-

No Truth in the Report.
CHICAGO, August 2d-A story was tele-
graphed from Peoria that Grove, the in
ventor of the internal machines, was arrested
in Peoria yesterday. The United States
Marshal says that there is no truth in the re-
port. No arrests have been made, and
neither the Marshal nor any Of his deputies
have been in Peoria on that business. One
special says that the arrest was practical
joke. This probably accounts for the story.
Certainly the United States Marshal has re-
ceived no orders in the matter, and will not
arrest anybody without special authority.

Attorney General MacVeagh says the mat

find law for suppressing such practices, and

they demand it. He does not approve of
