NEW YORK.

NEW York, March 16.-Patrick Egan
when questioned about the London ex
plosion said: Why do they attach any
political significance to it at all. If it
were the house of parliament, one might
understand it, but these are merely gov
ernment offices, which are at least three
hundred yards away with blocks of build
ings between. Now what politician
would direct an Office explosion. Then you
don't connect it with disturbances of any
kind. With our present information we
can say or think nothing about it. We
can discount the rumor, that is all. | am
inclined to think the first report of it's
being mere explosion of gas correct
one.
ANOTHER INTERVIEW.
O'Donovan Rossa was int rviewed
about the explosion in the government
building at London and said there was NO
accident about it, and that all the damage,
whether to property or life, which could
be inflicted, was intended. Rossa showed
a dispatch from Boston John Driscoll
saying: Il congratulate you on the news
from London this morning. I can collect
moneyknow into Boston. p. J. Sheridan,
whose extradition is asked by England,
said the work was that of Irishmen and is
but an advance picket of much more that
will follow. England will shortly see she
must either free Ireland or suffer the con
sequences"
FAvoRs THE TORCH.
PEORIA, H., March I6.-In an inter-
view with Pat. Grove in this county to-
day. he professed great exultation at the
attempt to blow up the government
buildings inl Lendon, but did not
favor the Ineahs employed. He prefers
silence, but the destructive flame of the
torch 20 the detonation of dynamite. His
idea is to place two or three hundred
men in the larger cities of England with
a few barrels of petroleum, and awaits a
windy night and alta preconcerted signal,
make 100 ccnfiagrations in as many cities
and spread terror destruction through the
land. This would make the British lion
howl for peace, and accede to any terms.
Pat grew hamboyant. while depicting the
scenes of terror thus caused. He dis
claims connection with the Lon
don explosion, but rejoices at
its effect; knew nothing about it
till this one. He thought Rossa might
have been aware of the plot, and thinks
it is undoubtedly the work of the irwin
cibles. Grove does nothing to assist the
cause of revolution, but he hears what
other fellows are doing and ''sicks" them
on from a safe distance and occasionally
throws out suggestions--a great conspir-
ator with his smouth--harmless otherwise

Who the Free Traders Really Are.

Sy1ibenIINe Gd.tie.
The Wheeling Intelligencer is happy IN
the knowledge that it called atteation to
the free trade doctrines advanced by the
Secretary of the Treasurer. and that II
took him 10 task about it. 1t is also cbari-
table enough to suppose that he did not
know what he vas talking about when be
suggested that the import revenue should
be reduced. The Inteliigencer msy accept
this theory if it does it any good, but It
certainly does not speak well for Secretary
Folger The idea of Republican Presl-
dent whose party contains all ~ the in
Re ligence of the country, selecting for
position, dealing as it does with the ques-
ton of tariff a man who knows nothing
about tariff, is absurd. Mr.. Folger did
know what he was talking about, and he
advanced nothing more than the President
did in his message. The trouble is, the
Republican administration is in favor OF
free trade, and the Republican press,
which always feels called upon to get up q
business mems scare, doesn't want to &C.
knowledge the fact. Many OF the Republic
con leaders are free traders. Garfield be-
longed to the Cvbden Club and in Iowa
the Republican party ran him on a free
trade basis. The New York Times is free

THE CELORAL HABIT.

The sad end OF sad life was chrOn-
icled the other day in the dispatches
announcing the death Of the wife of ex-
Senator CHRISTIANCY. She adde
another to the long list of victims Of the
chloral habit, having delivered up to it
sense and reason before it finally de.
marded her life.
The story of her death is sad COM
ment on the prevalence of the habit,
which, though it may not be So conf
mon as sensational statements some
times assert, is much more common
than it ought to be. Opium, chloral,
chloroform in one form or another
these drugs are the frequent resort of
people who suffer from nervousness,
sleeplessness or mental trouble. Ex-
ceptiDg, perhaps, the use of opium, the
habit is oitener found among people of
position, refinement and culture, than
among the uneducated. They iadulge
it for the very same reasons that the
poor man gets drunk. 1t gets fastened
upon them in slightly different way,
perhaps.
They take it 20 get relief from nerve,
strung to the last endurance point Of
tension to induce sleep, or to cause for
getfulness, at least tor time. Of sea of
troubles
Theatrical aid literary people are es-
pecislly apt, from the nerve wearing
character of their occupations, to form
the choral habit for the sake OF relief.
Although they know Tie dangerous
character of either choral or Galore
form, they refuse to believe that a.
small an amount as they take could
hurt any one.
But the chloral habit is thousand
