WASHINGTON. August 2.-Crows. OF
Peoria. has been arrested on . warrant
sworn out by the British Vice Consul at
New York. which was sent to the United
States authorities Of Illinois. Attorney
General Mcveagh says tho matter OF the
internal machines has not been brought
officially to bis notice. but II IL 10. be
will find q Law for suppressing such
practices. and would not deal lenisutly
with the offenders. makers and users.
He thinks that Hartmann, the Nihilist,
might be turned over to Russia II de-
manded. He does not approve Of allow.
ing plots against the peace Of other gov.
ernmsnts to be harborsd In the United
States.
This man Grove has chsttsrsd too
much for his own interest. yet has done
good service in so freely unfolding the
plans and inosndiary operations Of the
Fsnians. United Irishmsn and other
Nihllistic plottsrs. It ID about time that
Nihilist Hartmann and all other eonspir-
stors against Russia. England. or any
other friendly nation, were made
to understand that they cannot use
the American Republic for their
base Of operations. or smbroil rs
into difficulty aud perhaps wal with
other powers. just to suit their pur-
poses. This Grove. In his interview
with . reporter al Psoria . day or two
sinos. Was very communicative. He
~complsosn,ly explained regarding those
internal machines. Of which he was the
inventor. that had been shipped to. Eng
land disguised OIL concealed in barrels Of
cement. He said
They were OF zinc interior. 10 which
the clock-work and explosives were
packed. The olock.work operated with
q spring. and after six days running II

gun trigger. which struck . percussion
cap and ignited the charge. The charge
consists Of an ounce and . half OF the
illuminate OF silver. and . pound and q
half Of dynamite. and would destroy
the largest block OF buildings In the
world. The whole thing weighed forty.
Ave pounds.
He quietly remarked that they had
already been very effectively used In
several instances and philosophioally
commented upon the damage they had
done. quietly adding that
Any warfare Was good enough for Eng.

warfare herself. and could not expect
others to do 30. II she did not do JUS
tice to Ireland every Enelish ship would
DO sent to the bottom, until people no
longer dared to embark 10 them. Every
government building would be torn
down. and q system Of terrorism begun.
He claimed that many Of these truly
internal machines were already manu-.
factursd and sent abroad. and that they
were being made in every important
city in the United States. and would

OF "ths Order" Said he:
They are working for the good Of the

kind should be made to understand that
all such low. brutal. incsndiary. reckless
modes Of bloody hatchery are not wal

Perhaps this same man Grove claims
to Be an American citizen. Many Of
these eonspirators do. They should BE-
made to understand what are the duties
Of American citizens. and a. such that
they have no right to privately plot in
jury against any other country. Grove
and his ~sccomplices will doubtless bs
