MORE DEVELOPMENTS.
New Witnesses Before the Grand Jury
The ChristiaDcy Diamonds.


The CbristiaDcy Diamonds.
The troubles of the detectives are thicken,
ing fast, and the worst of it is they don't
know exactly where the lightning of indict-
ment is going to strike, although they are
satisfied that the storm is brewing From the
first statements of O'Leary and Murphy down
to the latest evidence that has been received,
about every one OF the ex-detectives has been
implicated. Some of them have been more
frequently referred to than others, but they
have all been implicated in one way or
another.
The bold front that they assumed when the
matter of investigation first was talked of
has disappeared, and their aim now seems TO
be to save themselves if possible. 1t is said
that conference was held ON Sunday, which
lasted nearly the entire day, but what line of
action was determined upon is not known.
1t was stated the other day in THE REPUBLI-
CAN that Berry, another well known thief,
had sent word that he was willing to divulge
all he knew and his statement has been taken,
in which it Is understood he duplicates one of
the detectives who has not been so promi-
nently brought forward in the confessions of
Parker and McGill I -
1t will be remembered that THE REPUBLI-
CAN published the statement of O'Leary in
reference to the robbery OF the Christiancy
diamonds in full, emitting the names of the
detectives who were alleged to have partici-
pated in the results Of the robbery, and the
fences where the stolen property was dis
posed of.
The son of ex-senator Christiancy has been
before the grand jury, and has given some
information in regard to the taking of the
diamonds that will furnish clue as to the
real perpetrators.
Ed Pumphrey, a man we'll known in police
circles, has also been before the grand jury
in regard to the successive robberies of the
watch of Col. s. Taylor Suit. This watch
was stolen twice, and it is believed three
times, from Col. Suit, and each time, as 1t was
very valuable timckeeper, the colonel paid
the detectives Literally for its recovery. II
is said that he at first gave them over a
hundred dollars, and as they found him a
pretty good man to work it is supposed they
"riised" on him afterwards, 1t is thought
Pumphrey also made some disclosures US to
tho Christiancy diamonds.
While 1t is not definitely known that any
of the detectives have made any personal
statement it is rumored that one of them has
expressed willingness to unburden his mind
A gentleman said last night that one Of them
at least, was making preparations to skip
The investigation is still going on and corrob,

the story first originated In the mind Of
correspondent of New York newspaper, and,
being in the summer time, the Canadian press
took IL up for want Of something better to dis
cuss. The subject was fully discussed at the
time Of the confederation. One Of the great
advantages we have in Canada under our po-
litical system Ia that as in England tho queen
stands aloof and holds the balance between
all parties, and carrys out the constitutional
principle Of taking advice from respon-
sible ministers, who have the confidence Of
the people also the queens representative in
Canada stands above parties, and holds the
balance between them. 1t would be great
misfortune If any change in this sys-
TEN should occur. II would be evidence
that England was no longer desirous Of con-
tinuing the connection between Canada and
the mother country. 1t is in this feature Of
our system that we have an advantage over
the United States. The president is elected
for four years. He is the subject of bitter
controversy from the time he becomes candi-
date, and when elected he is the head Of O
party instead of being the head of a nation.
He was happy TO believe there was not the
slightest chance ofany change ofthe kind re-
ferred to taking place. The sense Of the I'M
portance Of our connection with the empire
was increasing in England every day.

THE TARIFF bills.
some pecuIatIons About Their Prospects


The Nituation in the house has not changed
by an Vthing that occurred yesterday, The
sundryN civil bill occupied the day and will
serve ID keep the work going while each
membeV is pulling himself together and try
ing to Nnd out what he thinks it is best to do
in regutd to tariff bill SO far as tho men,
bers hake been asked for their views they
are fuubd to have one apiece making quo
rum oflopinions. When the time comes for
acting there may be a crystali2ation and an
agreement to concur in the senate bill, which
came in yesterday with all the pomp and GER
emOny its vexatious Importance has thrown
about it, but at present there is o
diversity that would stagger even tariff
commission TO formulate. There is clearly a
majority of republicans who agree on one
point-they would rather have the law MS it
is than the senate bill as 1t is. They believe,
some Of them, that q conference committee
might make it conform to the wishes of all
but the stubborn oppOsers of any bill, while
some bOlievo it Is useless to try to get tho bill
into the hands Of q conference committee,
The democrats are delighted with the lack of
unity on the republican side-so delighted,
indeed, that they can hardly be held in hand
by their leaders. Senator Beck came over
yesterday aud went the rounds among them
TO brace them up. He represents the stub

Fun In a Boarding School.

This play is more than its namei implies.
There is fun enough in it to sink a ship
and when somebody said it contained a
laugh every minute he struck the right
nail on the head. The audience is kept
in a continuous roar from beginning to
end. The acting in it is nice and the
music fine. Everybody seems to be
struck on comedy because the entire cast
have to play comedy. Seth Crane seems
t be the bell wether, at least he gets
away with three characters, "Henry Ham
ilton," Captain Bombshell and Summon
Bombshell," and does the act very well.
Mr.. Crane is a good actor and one of the
best singers on the stage. The past two
years he was here with Fay Templeton,
playing as her leading a Burton Adj
ans, however, gave the sleekest perform
ance of any. He seems to have been nat
urally born as "Doodle," and burst after
burst of laughter and applause greeted
his appearance. Miss Alice Baldwin was

sic Fairlove, but Miss Clare Bell as
