Regarding the Bribery Charges.
>, WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Itis is understood that
the statement which Bowen made recently to
District Attorney Valentine Of Philadelphia
regarding the Dickson charges in the Star route
bribery matter was the cross examination by
the District Attorney of Bowen touching state
ments made in his (Bowen's) affidavit with the
view OF determining the truth or falsity of his
original statement. The object was to put the
special counsel in possession of all the facts OBJ
tainaDle SO as to determine whether or not
criminal charges shall be instituted against
Bowen. 1t was learned at the department of
Justice that publication of the statement in
reply to charges of Foreman Dickson have
been delayed awaiting the arrival of an affida-
Wit made by Associate Justice Wilson H, Hoo
yer of the Supreme Court of Arizona who is
cognizant of important facts connected with
the matter. Upon inquiry of Brewster
Cameron at the department of Justice this
forenoon as to whether Mr. f. H. Fall had
been employed after his dismissal from the de-
partment and carried on the rolls of the depart
ment under the name of Frank Hill, Mr.
Cameron replied that the statement was abb
solutely false and that Fall has had no connec-
ton with the departments since his dismissal
on the 18th of July.
PHI. Woodward, ex-Star route detective,
arrived last night and was closeted with Mr.
Merrick to-day, looking over papers which
woodward had in his possession, and out of
which, it is SAID, the promised government de-
veiopments in the bribery matters will spring.

MASSACHUSETTS.
Personal Liberty League.

BOSTON, Oct. ia meeting of the personal
liberty league of Massachusetts composed of
Germans was held tonight about 60 delegates
being present from all parts of the State. Re-
solutions were adopted disappearing of the re-
sort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose of
removing evils by interference with rights not
surrendered by the people to either the State
or national government. Those rights they
say include the rights of conscience, of religion
and of personal regimen, which rights there
are constant efforts made to abridge or destroy
by sumptuary and prohibitory laws or laws for
the enforcement of religious observances that
are not binding upon the conscience of any.
For the consideration that the Republican
candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor cannot be expected to carry out the
aforesaid principles they have resolved at the
next election to vote for the Democratic State
ticket.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S-The steamer City Of
Worcester lies at the dock of the Department
of Public Works, East Sixth street, The Old
GERS of the steamer provided for all the pas
sengers who left the boat last night. The

on the boat as precaution, and nearly all the
water in the hold has been pumped out; there
was only about twelve inches at any time The
hole through which the water entered is in the
compartment in the centre of the vessel, and
is believed to be small, else there would be
more water in the hold. The damage cannot
be much, as the boat has an iron bottom and
waterproof compartments She will be taken
to Erie Basin to-day for repairs, which may re-
quire several days work. The extent of dam
age cannot be definitely learned until the boat
is in place on the dry dock.
