The United States of America ia the
asylum for the oppressed of all nations. 1t
has opened the door 10 foreigners. 1t has
received them in confidence. u has covered
them with the sacred garb OF citizenship. 1t
has thrown around them the Sgis of free

II has given them civil and religious liberty.
1t has pledged them protection under the
Law. In no instance hss it ever broken its
word. Thsre is no foreigner in this country
who can truthfully say that our government
has not protected him in his rights; that it
has ever inieeiered with his liberty or dis
criminsied against him. America has been
true and just to her adopted citizsns. We
have seiEsd the problem as TO whether all
the nations of the earth could possibly unite
in universal brotherhood and live

ufscture OF material for the injury OF
friendly power. 1t seems the United States
have been mace the headquarters for the
dynamite conspira,ors Oar people sympa-
thiz, with the Irish and the oppressed m asses
of Russia, but they do not approve Of the
methods of the Nihils;s or the dynamite
c1nspirators. Freedom was never won by as

the peace that sub.is.9 between two friendly

secret organizations whose policy will in

in England, communion would coon sup
plant social order and public Law, and
the world descend to primeval bar

independence, and no American citizen can
encourage the conspirators without eudan-
gering our own institutions, for the methods
adopted to brighten the English govern
ment into Concessions, or as a means of
revenge, means destruction of law,
the bsnishmsnt of everything deserving the
name of order, the annihilation Of society,
and the remission of individuals TO the state

American dynamite succeeds in England, it

of the First National Bank, of Santa Fe, who
arrived here to day, referring 10 the reported
capture by the Apache Indisns CT Prot.
BsRdelier, of the archaeological department
of the Smithsonian Institute, said he saw the
professor and his wife about six weeks ago.
They were then on their way 10 the City of
Mexico, and from his understanding of their
route he did not think they would be near
the place mentioned in the dispatch, at the
time the professor is said 10 have been cap
tured. He therefore thought the report was
untrue. twas from the same Deighborhood
that falss reports about the murder of Mr.
Hesing, of Chicago, originated come moaths
ago, and this report may be Of the ssme
character. Mr.. Baadelisr ranked very high
as an Archaeological, and his researches aud
works have attracted the attention of scien-
tisis all over the world. About three years
age he was sent by the Smithsonian Insti-
tu'e TO explore smcng tbs pueblos of the
West with speciai view Of obtaining a
thorough knowledge Of their history, sa ex-
pedition on which he was engaged when
captured. This wss the third he has under
taken in the interest of tbs Institute. If he
has been killed the scientific world hss
lost one of its most valued members add
apecIsl friends, the archaeology of Spanish
American people has lost a cultured and
earnest investigator whose place cannot be
easily supplied, He was about forty. FIVE
years old. He spent nearly all his life at

SORROWS, sT0RMs ARD POETENTS.
the sad details Of death, suffering and
less, caused by this weeks storm over cou-
siderable portion Of the South, again recall
attention 10 peculiATities of weather that for
many months have been perceptible 10 va
rious parts of the world. Most readers will
remember that little while sgo there was
an unusual number of planets clustering
about the same time in their nearest prox-
unity TO The sun, their perihelion. There is
a certain number of westher observers who
are Of opinions that the position of the plan
ets, as ia opposition, conf motion, ETC., have
a powerful influence upon the weather.
These thinkers predicted with great conf
dercs, and 8 considerable lime before tke
clustering Of the planets, that the phenom-
enoD, very rare one, would be fol-
lowed by unusual weather disturbances
and violent meteorologic occurrences. The
Canadian Virgins belongs to this class of
thinkers, and he has done more than anyone
else to make the theory he supported un-
popular, but, as to the predictions of those
who argued from the approach of certain
planets, especially Jupiter and Saturn, to
to their perihelion that phenomenal weather
disturbances would follow, whether these
were lucky guesses as Wiggins's was an I'm.
lucky one, we eanuot say, hut cert sinlJ the
world for many months back has had
-series Of tempests, hurricanes, cyclones,
earthquakes foods and ether elem eutzry
terrors and destructive occurrences very I'M
usual in the same sp ace Of time. And now
has 10 be added 10 the rest the awful cyclone
of the present week, with hearts bereayed
of their loved ones, sufferers with broken
bones and bruised bodies, homes ruined and
the very materials of their structure carried
off in the hurIliDg storm, soaring aloft
on the unclaimed winds, aud the forests lev
eled ss though by vengeiul scythe. The
readers OF Josephus and other ancient
authors can scarcely help calling TO mind
the natural prodigies they relate that pre-
coded the destruction of Jerusalem, and tn E
comm sncement of those fearful commo-
tions and outbreaks, and assumption of power
by the armies that aided in the destruction
OF the Roman poWer-signs in heaven and
on earth, aud the hearts Of men failing them
through fear.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-SeCretary Folger

from the Hill Investigating Committee, con-
sequenlly nothing vas done at the adjourned

no funds from which 10 compensate an "aud-
