DUBLIN, April 25.-Lord Spencer, lord

Mayo, to-day. Friday he will witness the
departure from BellmulIer for America of

LONDON, April 25.-The Times says it is
understood the evidence against Peter
lyman, Number One," from independent
witnesses as we'll as from informers, is
such as to Justify decisive action by the
government in asking for his extradition.
DUBLIN, April 25.-The trial of Timothy
Kelly charged with participating in the
Phoenix park murders was continued this
morning. The judge in summing up the
evidence taken spoke most strongly against
the prisoners claim of an alibi. The jury,
after being out short time, returned and
announced they were unable to agree on a
verdict. The trial of Michael Fagin,
charged with the murder of Burke, then
began.
The jury were sent back to reconsider
their verdict, but after returning the fourth
time and reporting they could not agree,
were discharged.
Pagan pleaded not guilty. Adams and J..
O'Byrne we're assigned to defend him.
There was great difficulty in forming a
jury, as seventy five of the called failed to
make their appearance and were fined
e10O each. James Carey, the informer,
| called to the stand, testified that he had
arranged to stab Forster after the plots to
| shoot him had failed. He said he did not
attend the meetings of the assassination
society on account of Sabbatarian scruples
| and declared that even now he wished to
remove the tyrants and said he believed it
was no sin to kill Burke.
Two compositors swore they saw Pagan
in Phoenix park the day of the murders.
In the case of W. J. Ramsay, proprietor
Of the Free Thinker and G. w. Foote, editor
of that journal, charged with publishing
blasphemous Ebels, the jury to-day disa

Business Troubles.

CHICAGO, April 25.-A ripple was created
on 'change here this morning by the an
nouncement that the commission house of
Handy, Richardson & Co. had succumbed.
The firm notified all with whom they had
outstanding deals to close them up. No
intimation is yet given as to the extent of
the liabilities. 1t is stated the firm have
been heavy sellers of wheat and provisions,
and the market has been going steadily
against them. Truman B. Handy, head of
the firm, is Cincinnati resident who man.
aged wheat deal of magnitude in this
city two years ago. The market was only
slightly affected by the announcement.
It Is stated that rumors affecting Han
dy's solvency were abroad here one month
ago, and it is now declared Chicago firms
are covered, but what amount the iabili-
ties are outside is not stated. Its declared
that the suspension is principally due to
Handy's private speculation, and that he
was long on corn and heavily short on
wheat. 1t is also given out by the firm that
they may resume in a few days.
Boston, April 25.-The Bleyer Distillery
company, of st. Louis, has made an as

compromised at fifty cents on the dollar
The present liabilities of the company are

Report Discredited.

ST. LOUIS, April 25.-Mr. Griffin, cashier
of the First National bank of Santa Fe, who
arrived here to-day, referring to the report
ed capture by Apache Indians of Professor
Bandelier, of the Smithsonian Institute,
said he saw the professor and his wife about
six weeks ago. They were then on the
way to the city of Mexico, and from his un-
derstanding of their route he did not think
they would be near the place mentioned in
the dispatch at the time. He therefore
thought the report untrue. 1t was from the
same neighborhood that false reports about
the murder of Mr.. Hesig, of Chicago, origi-
mated several months ago, ard this report
may be of the same character. If Profes
sor Bandelier has been killed, the scientific
world has lost one of its most valued mem
bers, and the special field of archaeology of
the Spsnish-American people have lost a
cultured and earnest Investigator whose
place cannot be easily supplied. He was
about forty five years old, and spent near
ly all his life at Highland, Ill, where his
father resides.

HOW TO HARMONIZE.

Whitelaw Reid Tells the New York Repub-
Iican Committee How to Bring About
Harmony In the Party.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The following
letter was sent this evening to the Republi-
can committee appointed to suggest plans
for securing harmony in the party:
DEAR SIR:-Until this afternoon, had
expected to attend the meeting this even
ing, but to ny regret another engagement
interferes, and shall hope for better for
tune at your subsequent meetings, and
shall be glad to cooperate in any way in my
power to secure one harmonious and earn
est organization of the Republican party in
this city. The way to do this in my judg-
ment is to give the Republicans the right
of self-government. That they do not en-
Joy it here at present is the reason for the
general discomfort now officially recog
nized by the appointment of this COM
mittee. An ideal organization would be
one in which every Republican voter could
cast his ballot for the selection of candi-
dates for local Offices, and Of deegates to
state conventions, and the voice of the
majority in the party thus fairly ascer-
tanned should make ticket. Whether this
primary election system will work we'll in
a great city may perhaps be doubt
ed by many practical politicians.
Any plan that may be preferred
should in my opinion rest on two cardinal
principles: First, every resident of the
district who voted for the last Republican
presidential ticket should be entitled to a
voice, if We are to have a great united
party, capable of success and in spirit.
To achieve that should be our only test of
partisan orthodoxy. Second, no man
should be asked for any pledge whatever
as to how he will vote in the
future. The very best elements
in the Republican party, those
that have given it its success and its glory,
are precisely those that would refuse to
tie themselves by such pledge. The
way to tie them to the ticket is to give
every man a fair chance for an equal
voice of making it, and let every man see
it is the majority that rules. Where that
| plan prevails the Republican party is rare
| ly distracted by schisms and never demora
| lized by its occasional defeats.
Very respectfully,
WHITELAw RID.
| To Hon. Edward Mitchell.

the failure of Handy, Richardson & Co.
Their Liabilities are thought to be about
100000, and the creditors are scattered
all over the country. The assets will prob
ably amount to so cents on the dollar
although we'll informed traders believe the
house is hopelessly wrecked. The senior
member, Truman B. Handy, came here
from Cincinnati year ago, and at one
Time enjoyed the distinction of being a
bold and successful speculator, having en-
glneered wheat corner two years since
which cleared upwards of S5OO,OOO for his
Cincinnati syndicate. They have main
tanned two extensive houses here, one in
the chamber of commerce, under the name
OF Handy, Richardson & Co., and the other
in the Palmer house, styled s. Fl. Richard
son d Co. They have been unfortunate in
deals for weeks, having out large lines of
short cotton, while that market was con-
tlnually stifening, and were caught for a
large sum by the st. Louis clique. A few
weeks since, they bulled corn while prices
were dropping. Latterly they changed to
the bear side of lard and wheat, and those
commodities have rapidly appreciated in
value. Thus they were whipsawed on the
deal, and were compelled to lay
down, filing notices on all their brokers
this a. N. to close out their deals. They
had made an effort the past week to hedge
on wheat by buying June and July heav.
lily, but their losses on May were far great
er than their gains elsewhere. Brokers
here are we'll protected, they having kept
their margins paid up promptly. Cincin-
natl, New York and st. Louis parties and
their country customers are the principal
losers. Mr.. Richardson is at Hot Springs.
Mr.. Handy kept out of sight all afternoon
IL his room at the Palmer House, refusing
to be seen. At the Office of the firm it was
claimed the business would be resumed
shortly. Handy has been daring and ex,
tensive speculator on his own account and
cotton is thought to have had more to dc
with the collapse than grain.
