Timothy Kelly pleaded an alibi. Or Carey's being again confronted with Mrs Byrne, who was supposed to have confessed, this afternoon, he failed to identify her as the woman who brought the knives and arms from London. She was discharged.
 l. LONDON, Feb. 2O.-The police are on the track of Humber one" At headquarters they are convinced that this mysterious in- vidual is Gen. MacAdaras and that he is now in hiding in the city. An active police search is being made in suspected districts.
 The mysterious ''No. one" is believed among the Irish nationalists to be one Mac Donald, they believing the name of Me- Adaras is merely an allas.
 A Former Intimate of Carey's Talks.ss
 CHICAGO, H., Feb. 20.-James Hackett, an employe of the Grand Trunk railroad com pany, who resigned from the Dublin metro politan police in 1881 rather than fire on the public, makes public long statement re- garding the informer Carey, with whom he was on very intimate terms. Hackett says he was at Carey's house on the night of the murder of Lord Cavendish and Under Secre- tary Burke Careys wife was Hurried and excited and was evidently trying to conceal something She endeavored to hide some weapons under her cloak. Carey was in the house, but would not present himself. Sub- sequently he expressed qualification at the murder. Hackett says he has good reason to believe that Carey planned the murder and was the chief conspirator, that his wife was within easy distance at the time of the tragedy and that she carried away the bloody weapons and concealed them.
