DISCUSSING CORNERS.

The Special Senate COMMITTEES on Cor
ners and Futures at Work In New
York.
NEW York. April 29.-The special senate
committee on corners and futures continued
It's session to-day.
Isaac 81. Reed said he could not zee why
the legislature should interfere in the legiti.
mate business of dealers in options. ANY
legislation that would Limit speculation in
corners and futures would result in a decrease
OF the volume of business In the produce ex.
change unless It's members in some way
evade the law. 1t would certainly effect
the pecuniary interests of the members. aThe
witness could not see how 1t could be so
framed as to cover the existing abuses with.
out effecting legitimate speculation.
Charles Partridge, the next witness, showed
that the sales in wheat alone at the exchange
from July, 1879, to April 20, 1881, for spot
cash amounted to 1914 1877 900, while the sales
at options, puts and calls, futures and strad-
dies, amounted to sl,t54, 267 900. BE was
strongly opposed to the latter way OF doing
business, as 1t was demoralizing, and in no
business will 80 many financial wrecks be
found as among grain spectators. The sys-
tenn was contrary, not only TO sound public
policy, but to the best interests of the people.
He thought there should be law, making IL
penalty, punishable by fine and imprison-
ment, for any person to engage In the sale Of
products which they never sec or handle.
LATER.
Sr. LOUIS, April 29.-Argument closed, and
Judge Cady, instead of taking the matter
under advisement, as it was thought he would,
promptly refused to permit the information
to be filed. The circuit attorney therefore
cannot be arrested.

GOING FOR The GAMBLERS.
4 Regular War ON tho Sporting Fraternity
In st. Louis.

4 Regular War on tho Sporting Fraternity
In st. Louis.
81. LOUIS, April 29.-Since what Is known
as the johnson law, making gambling felony
in this state, went into effect ten months ago,
war has been waged on the sporting fraternity
in this city. Three grand juries have returned
900 indictments against the gamblers who had
an uninterrupted run Of seven months, until
public opinion condemned the inactivity of
the authorities In failing to enforce the law.
In the first case that came to trial under the
indictments the gamblers attorney raised the
plea Of want OF jurisdiction and unconstitu.
tionality Of the johnson act. Dispositions
were taken In Texas, Missouri, ETC., to prove
this plea and the case was argued before the
Judge OF the criminal court, who has had the
case under advisement for nearly two months
and not yet rendered decision.
The lottery men were also affected by the
johnson law, and after it passed into effect
the lottery scheme was changed to horse rae
ing. The managers opened over one hundred
offices about the city. These have been raided
and 442 indictments were found against the
vendors and managers. Robert G. Pale, War.
Bonner, managers of one scheme, have had
sixty indictments returned against each of
them. The circuit attorney, Harris. had their
headquarters raided and o safe blown open in
search of evidence.
For this latter attack the lottery men ap.
piled for warrant for the circuit attorneys
arrest, charging him with oppression In Office.
This was refused by the local authorities, but
one application on information was approved
by the attorney general of the state. To-day
an argument against the fling of the informa-
ton on which warrant was asked for, was
IN the court of criminal correction by the cir.
cut attorneys counsel. The court will take
the question under advisement. The fight on
the gamblers aud lottery men 10 developing
much bitterness.

NIHILISTS IN NEW YORK,
Attempt to Blow Up Cyrus W. Field and
VIM. III. Vanderbilt.

VIM. III. Vanderbilt.
NEW York, April ga dastardy attempt
was made to-day by some miscreants on the
lives Of VIM. Il. Vanderbilt and Cyrus W.
Field, by sending them explosives through
the mails. Fortunately the dangerous char.
acter of the package was discovered en- route
to the postofiice station, and thus the prob
able loss Of life was prevented.
The circumstances of the case as related by
Postmaster Pearson are as follown: Two
missives came to the postoffice at 4:30 O'Clock
in the afternoon. One was posted in the Office
and the other was brought In by collector a
few minutes afterwards. The last one was
addressed to VIM. II. Vanderbilt, 459 Fifth
avenue. The first was addressed to Cyrus W.
Field, Lexington avenue and Twenty.third
street.
The pockets were placed in the mail bag along
with the other mail matter for the uptown
district, put In the mail wagon and taken to
the Third avenue elevated railroad station at
the head OF Chatham street, and Others de-
posted on the front platform of one of the
cars. The train started uptown and before
reaching the station at Ninth street and
Third avenue an explosion was heard from the
mail bag and fire and smoke was observed to
Issue from it. When the train stopped at the
station the burning bags were hastily trans
ferred to the platform as the RAILROAD people
were afraid to transport it any further.
It was taken down stairs, placed on wagon
and taken to the pnstotfice station at Twenty
Ninth street and Third avenue. Supt. Mos
Ser, who is IN charge there, dispatched mes
senger in haste for Postmaster Pearson, and
when that official arrived the half-burned
mail bag and contents were examined
The package addressed to Cyrus ". Field
was plunged into bucket of water for fear
1t might also explode, aud when sufficiently
soaked was examined carefully. II was found
to consist of pasteboard box covered with
gaudy flowers and pictures and had small
drawer In 1t, from which depended string as 1t
10 supposed for the purpose of drawing 1t
open and causing an explosion.
Inside the box was found tin canister con-
tanning about one-half pound of powder and
a glass Jar containing white powder and a
liquid, believed to be some kind of explosive,
but what it was none of the postofice off,
cials could say. II will be sent to a chemist
for analysis.
On the package were ten cent stamps
The explosion of Mr.. Vanderbilts
package was probably caused by the
ing the curve out of the Bowery into
Third avenue, and but for which occurrence
the packages might have reached their desti-
nation and exploded in the hands of the par
ties to whom they were sent. The contents
Of the mail bag were pretty well scOrched by
the explosion.
