DUBLIN July ga detective, specially
charged to investigate the Phenix Park muir
d-Is. says he is disinclined to believe O'Bry-
ans story. There Is no doubt that two Of the
tnen engaged In the murders did escape
abroad, hut not to Venrzu-la, and neither VI
these men is named O'Bryan. The arrests
in connection with the Seville place murder
are more likely 10 throw light upon the

of Lord Csveudish aud Thomas Henry

Home Secretary refused to answer questions
relative To the arrest Of O'Bryan In vene-

Lord Cavendlsh and Mr.. Burke. From in

Westgate, or o q yam, ia q Scotchman. On
the day Of the tragedy he sailed from North
Wall at seven o'clock p. IN, or ten minutes
before the tragedy occurred In Dublin, cen.
sequently he could not have been one VI the
assassins. Some Of his friends were with
him at North Wall an hour before the vessel

Wrs,gate is Innocent, though detectives will
probably have to he sent to bring him to l,e-

ELECTRIC LIGHT ON THE MISSOURI.

50. Paul Pioneer-Press.

Or run 4 toHccF-fFeoe.
Mr.. II. Z. Thompson. electrician, Of st.
Paul, has just returned from the Missouri,
where he went to mount an electric light on
the Rosebud, of the Coulson Line of Missouri
and Yellowstone steamers. Mr.. Thompson
tells some interesting stories Of the effects OF
the white mans electric light medicine on
the noble red man at Fort Berthold. Upon
arriving at the post large assortment ofred'
skins, their sisters, their cousins and their
aunts, were assembled on the shore In fine
shape. While con emplating the pew-fan.
gled light, which seemed to eclipse the full
orbed moon, Mr.. Thompson turned the light
full upon the gaping crowd With weird and
picturesque effect. The astonshed aboris-
ines were parslyzed for moment, and they
set up dismal chant, lay down and rolled
over and paved up the sage brush, and made
the ambient air tremble with their antics and
articulaiions. They we're finally assured that
the big medicine Of the white man vas harm
less, and then they assumed all attitude Of
qriescent bewilGerment. They congregated
upon the shore aud gazed upon the illnmina-
ted surroundings with mingled emotions Of
awe and admiration, expressing their feelings
In deep, cultural accents. Al woodward
up the river the light was turned with full
force upon the pile, and the dusky owner
sought hiding place, from which he could
not be induced to emerge to negotiate with
the clerk for the sale Of his stock on hand.
He, however, ventured to hold up his hand
with three fingers unhexed, TO indicate that
S. per cord would take the truck. The
machine mounted on the Rosebud was Of
GOO candle power, aud it is TO wonder the
supeistitious natives were stricken with ter
rUr.

An Investigator of the Jeanne
Disaster Wanted.

An Investigator Of the "Jesnnette I"
Disaster Wanted. .4..
MiNNEAPoLIs, July 26.-Dr. d. F. Col
Inns Of this city, brother Of jerome j. Collins
who lost his life with Lieutenant De Long.
late commander Of the Jeanette, has been
interviewed by Tribune reporter regarding
his letter 10 Representative Washburn and
reasons for asking an investigation by Con
gress. DR.. Collins went to New York, met
Danenlower OIL his arrival there aud had
several extended private conversations with
him and with DR.. Newcombe, and his charg.
es are based Oh these interviews. Collins
charges that after the Melville Danenhower
party reached place Of safety Danenhow er
asked permission 10 search fc- De Long and
his party. Melville refused aud ordered
Danen iower south, saying that he would
make the search himself, and that Melville
soon after went south himself, without max
ing thorough search, and remained south
until he received inst ructions from Washing
ington to return north. DR.. Collins alleges
that circumstances since developed show
that had Melville made an energetic search
atthe beginning, or permitted Danenhower
TO do 50, De Long and his party would have
been saved. ........-
Collins alleges that jealousy existed among
the officers, and was such As to make failure
certain from the start; that entering the Ice
pack was an inexcusable blunder; that in re.
treating inferior boats aud Instruments were
taken, and the better ones left on board. He
also alleges that the provisions with which
the Jeannette was fitted out were inferior IL
quality and insufficient In quantity. pr
Collins concluded as follows: "DanenhoE.I
is anxious for an investigation, and will have
strong evidence to present. As heexpressed
himself to me, ID will be his duty to TIL thu
whole story To an investigating hoard, but hs
will otherwise keep . closed mouth. DIR
Newcombe IL also ready for IL. In my opin
ion, II the investigation Is made, IL will dem

SUSPICIOUS OF TURKEY.
English Opinion That Turkey is PracticiI g
Deceit.

LONDON, July 3l.-The Times says: We
have ample reason for believing that the es-
petition which the Porte Is now determined
to send to Egypt has no other object than to
thwaIt and oppose the efforts England Is now
making to restore order there. Cooperation
might be accepted If Turkey should send
moderate contingent to act under the orde,s
of the British commander. The obvious de-
sign of Turkey is to exclude England alto
gelher and maintai that we have 10 right in
Egypt. 1t Is therefore trifling to continue
negotiations for the purpose Of getting such
worthless pledges Of good faith As proclaim
alton against Arab Pasha. II Is forthe Brit
ish cabinet TO appreciate the gravity Of the
situation and devise measures for guarding
the national interests aud for the vindication
Of national honor, both Of which are In seri-
Gus jeopardy. ..... ...,.

VETO OF THE RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL.

Dispatches of Tuesday state that the Pres
ideut vetoed the River aud Harbor Bill that
day. The Bill passed the House June 18th
by ll9 ayes 10 Al nais, and passed the SEN
ate yeas 80, nays %, withten Senators paired.
II Is not likely, therefore, that the bill can
be passed over the veto. The bill rs passed
appropriated $ls,743,S75 for improvements
OH rivers and hsrbors, including $S50,0OO on
the Missouri river from is mouth to Sioux
Cit, F; 100000 from Sioux City to Fert Ben
ton, snd for the survey Of the nver from its
mouth 70 Fort Benton $4,000. The hezvi-
est appropriation was 81, l23,0O0 for improv-
ing the Mississippi from the head Of the
passes TO Cairo, including the harbors Of
New Orleans, Natchez, vicksburg, and Mem.
phis. We are not advised what the partcu-
lar objections Of the President were, but
New York dispatches say the journals Of
that city of all classes are jubilant over the
veto, and It Is to be presumed that good res-
sons existed. That there Is great necessity
for Improvement Of the rivers and harbors Of
The country no one doubts, and 1t requires
large sums to do the work; but In the past
few years the appropriations for this purpose
have been superceding the Indian appropria-
tions u fraud OH the country. This was
the bill on which Congressman snapped
votes, and Congressman Jones not unfre-
quenily got an appropriation Of few thou-
sand or few hundred thousand dollars to
expend on some Insignificant and useless
stream, In consideration of his vote on some
other bill where some other members inter-
ests were looked out for. In this way mem
bers made themselves solid for reelection.
and the country footed the bills. Latterly
this became 90 open scandal that clause
had TO be inserted making 1t discretionary
with the President what expenditures should
be made, but even that, II II was inserted In
this bill, did not save 1t. The veto Of this
bill does not suspend improvements. These
appropriations run until expended, and there
yet remains Of former appropriations -, $780,
600 unexpendsd. Il is anticipated, however,
that Congress may continue In session until
. bill can be passed that will receive Presi-
den, ial approval. The President has adopt
ed the proper method Of squelching the an.
