Wieson, DR., Gallagher, Bernard, Curtis,
Ansburg and Whitehead; eight men
arrested and charged with being concern
ed IN dynamite conspiracies, were again
brought up in Bow street police court
this morning. 1t was noticed as a sig
nificant fact that Norman was convened
to the court room by Detredue separately
from other prisoners. Whitehead, who
was brought here from Birmingham, for
trial, protested against hand cuffs. He
declared the entrance to the court room
was the gate of hell On prisoners being
arraigned In court room it was announced
that Norman had turned informer The
rest ofithe prisoners, including Bernard,
Gallagher and Whitehead, were formally

SPRINGFIELD, April 1S.--Deadlock in
the Illinois house of representatives over
the Bradwen McNally contest is develop
ing peculiar condition of affairs Re
publicans can only master quorum by
the voting of every party man, and Rook.
the refractory member who was present
in the lobby Yesterday but declined to
enter the house, left the state building in
company with familiar figure in Chiea-
go. Democratic politics is still an uncer-
tain quantity. The republicans are
powerless without Rook, whose non
action is credited to various motives 1t is
currently known this morning that an
attempt was apparently made last night
by certain democratic members and
leaders to induce Rook to leave
the city and he was taken
10 the Wabash depot, some distance from
the business portion of the city Two re-
publican members of the house followed
in a hack and afterwards prevented
Rocks leaving. The latter stated to
have been in such mental condition as
not to be a free agent Rocks was taken
back to the city and followed about all
night by watchers from both parties,
through various disreputable places AMI
early this morning both contestants
claiming Rocks vote The proceedings
the past two days appear to have not
overly pleased the better element in Ell
ther parties. Today's proceedings are
looked forward to with interest
Republicans are still unable to obtain q
quorum, Rook failing to put in an ap-
pearance and maj ajorities are helpless with
ont him. This member is closely guarded
by representatives of both parties, demo
Gratis evidently desiring his departure, and
republicans seeking TO prevent such an
occurrence.

Professor Huxley and the Rats.

Professor Huxley presided recently
at the annual meeting of the London
Sanitary Protection Association In
the course of his opening address he
said he had made very great dis
eovery He had found that there was
a great body of extremely active and
unpaid sanitary inspectors, to whom
he was sufficiently ungrateful to say
that he should be glad to hear of their
immediate extirpation. These sanitary
inspectors were rats He had had a
curious example of their action in his
own house. Some time ago it had been
reported to him that there were rats in
a particular room in the basement. -
Rats had no place in any london
house The mouse one need not quar-
rel with, but rats meant mischief. The
rats came from the rats place, the sew
er, and if the rats could come from the
sewer all other abominable things could
also get up. He had the floor of the
room at once taken up, and very cur
ious state of things had revealed itself.
When the house had been built, par
tieular drain of an unmportant charac-
ter had been designed TO lead Out in a
certain direction. The business of the
builder naturally should have been to
close up the drain in the one direction
which had been finished. and to carry it
out in another way. That had been
done with q degree of carelessness and
neglect of common precautlon which
was absolutely criminal. The brick
layer had not taken the trouble to shut
up a small opening of the drain. For
twelve wears there had been In the
house that connection between the
sewer. the drains, and the basement of
the house which. had it not been for the
rats, would have been impossible to be
discovered, even by the most careful OF
inspectors
