OTTAWA, Ont, April Notwithstanding
the positive assurance of Superintendent
Sherwood, of the Dominion police, that the
reported explosion of the Eastern block was
canard Detective Hodgers and four Toronto
policemen, who had been brought here to-
day, inspected the underground passages of
the Parliament buildings, and have been
granted permits for not only that building,
but Rideau Hall, at all hours of the day and
night. Although this fact is not generally
known, considerable uneasiness is manifested
among the members. The night watch fur
nished by the Dominion police has been
doubled, and every precaution is being taken
to prevent the possibility of evil-disposed
persons creating trouble. Detective Hodg-
kins had an interview with Colonel Dewin-
ton with reference to some suspicious cir
cumstances which took place at Rideau Hall
recently. 1t is said the return of Princess
Louise will be delayed on this account.

Juror Hughes Has No Cancer.

Washington Special.

one of the jurors in the star-route case,
named Hughes, was liable to die of malig-

not true He had no cancer, and never did
have. 1t was mole on his neck. The doc
tor put something on his neck and this mole
spread, but he was not suffering any pain.

Daniel Wobster,s Desk.

Washingto Critic.
1t has been said that the desk used by
Daniel Webster, when he was q senator, was
unknown to any one save Captain Bassett,
who was brought by Webster to Washington,
and appointed page of the Senate fifty years
ago. This is q mistake, however. There is
another man who knows the desk, and
knows where it sat during the last Congress.
1t was on the Democratic side of the Senate
chamber, and was occupied by one of the
South Carolina senators.

statement OF an Intimate Friend.
Edmunds will not be candidate. He told
me he had no desire to be a candidate, and
would not be and that at the right time be
would discountenance any movement on
the part of his friends to present his name
before the National Republican convention.
You may say, too, that when the Senate
meets next December Senator Edmunds will
resign as President pro tempore of the SEN
ate. He accepted the place not because he
had any desire for it, but because his declin-
alton of it would have probably involved the
selection of one whom the senator did not
care to have chosen

that the British minister had been swindled
out of a considerable sum of money by per-
son who professed to have knowledge of a

West. He said the person mentioned called
upon him and directed his attention to a
matter which, upon investigation, proved to
be uufonnded, and which was not in any
mannesc connected with an attempt to blow
up the legation building. He paid no money
for the alleged information, but merely
heard what the person had to say, investi-
gated it, and found it untrue.

A Little Quarrel Between Senator Logan and
Mr.. Farwell.

Mr.. Farwell.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-A little quarrel
between Senator Logan and Mr.. Farwell is
creating trouble in the Treasury. Collector
Spalding discharged deputy by the name of
Wright, and appointed one Gilbert in his
place. Mr.. Logan interceded to have Wright
retained, and has succeeded so far that the
change has not been recognized by the Treas
ury Department, Wright getting his monthly
checks the same as usual. The row is small
local affair but on account of the standing of
the men who are backing the in and out dep
uties, it threatens to assume grave import
ance and stir up a whole State. Up to the
present writing Logan appears to be running
the Chicago Collectors office. Spalding and
Logan have been at outs for nearly year.

varying from three to ten weeks, after which
the loss from freezing was quite general. The
average depreciation is greater in the upper
part of the Ohio valley and Kansas than
eewhere. East of the Alleghenies the con-
dition is good in the northern belt, declining
slightly in lower latitudes. 1t is not up to

Am IndIgnant Denial FROM Mr.. Teller.

An Indignant Denial from Mr.. Teller.
Special toSt. Louis Globe Democrat.
Secretary Teller Indignantly denies the
truth of a paragraph which appeared in a
Philadelphia paper, this morning, to the
effect that ex-senator Conkllng had been
trading upon his influence at the Interior
Department. The story was that Mr.. Conk-
ling had for a consideration of 5000 used
his personal influence to secure the Secre-
tary's signature to an important paper, which
would not have otherwise been signed. "Of
all the silly stories that get into the newspa-
pers,D said Mr.. Teller to-day, this is the
most foolish. You fellows usually have
something to start with and then enlarge
upon it to the extent of your fancy. In this,
however, there is not even a groundwork.
There has been no such case before me. l
have never been asked by Mr.. Conkling to
sign anything. and have never signed any
thing for Mr. Conkling 1t is simply cold
falsehood from beginning to end. 1t is not
worth while to deny it, for it presupposes Mr..
Conklingan unmitigated rascal and me an
unmitigated fool. Mr.. Congling has appeared
before me as an attorney to argue cases as he
has appeared to-day and in no other ca
pacity."

The st. Louis Diamond Smuggling Case.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The Solicitor of
the Treasury has made an adverse report
upon the case of Mr.. Cuendet prominent
jeweler of St. Louis, arrested for smuggling
81, 500 worth of diamonds into this country
from Paris Cuendet admitted the charge
and agreed to pay the duty and value of the
goods, and also so per cent. in addition,
which was exacted from him. District At
torney Bliss, of St. Louis, reported the case
to the Solicitor, and said that as the govern
ment had suffered no loss by the transaction,
and as there were other mitigating circum-
stances, he did not think Cuendet should be
indicted. The Solicitor does not agree with
the District Attorney. He holds that it is q
proper case for Indictment, and criticises the
action of the authorities in exactng an addi-
tional so per cent. on the value of the dia-
monds while the offender was in duress.

delegation in Congress, but not one word
was said by any member of it rejecting upon
