Arresting Alleged Dynamiters.

LONDON, April l0.-A dynamiter
named DAILY, alias Denman, was arrested
at Burkenhead station, with three ex-
plosive bombs found in his possession,
also several bottles containing a substance
believed to be nitro glyccrine. James
Egan was also arrested at Birmingham, as
an accomplice of DAILY, and on the charge
of having explosives in his house. Egan
was previously the secretary of the
Northampton branch of the land
league, after a formal charge had been
made against DAILY at B%irkcnhead. He
will be conveyed to Birmingham and
charged along with Egan. A sack full
of documents belonging to Egan was con-
veyed to the police station. Among the
papers was a letter from Egan to DAILY in
which the former wrote that he thought
''the cough mixture was all right. 1t
was nice and cold" 1t is believed the
expression, cough mixture refers to
dynamite.

Charles Reade Dead.

LONDON, April l1.-Charles Reade
died this afternoon.
In the death OF Charles Readc the
world loses one of the most brilliant nov
elists of the present generation. Mr..
Reade was born in London in 1924 He
was educated at Oxford where he highly
distinguished himselfand became a Fellow
of Magdalen college. In lS43 he was
admitted to the bar as a member of
Lincoln's Inn, but almost Immediately
r~elinquished his profession to become a
man of letters. Peg Wellington" the
first novel he produced, proved an imme-
date and striking success. This he
rapidly followed up with other novels,
among the best known of which are
Christine Johnston, " 1.-THE Cloister and
the Hearth, Love Me Little, Love Me
Long" white Lies" Hard Cash" 1T
is Never Too Late to Mend" Foul
Play, Griffith Gaunt'' and PUT Your
self in His Place" Besides the brilliant
novels which he was constantly producing
he gave much attention to theatrical
matters and adapted and wrote many of
the best known modern comedies. A
recent dramatic success in this country
known as Drink was dramatized by him
from the French of NJ. Zola, the well
known author of Mana. Mr.. Reade was
a wonderfully prolific writer. He
was endowed with a most
extraordinary vitality as a writer and
his wealth of knowledge seemed well
nigh inexhaustible. Justin Mccarthy,
the ~well-known English elite and author,
places Mr.. Reade in the very front rank
of English noyelists of the second class,
but it is doubtful if the very best of these
writer's have produced novels of more alb
sorbing interest than those of Mr.. Reade.
He had a faculty of weaving about the dry
and uninteresting technicalities of inter
minable English law suits a web of the
most absorbing interest. The best nov
els which he has written have been pro-
duced to strike down some terrible tyr
amy which was depressing the human
race. If the French idea that no novel
should be written to point a moral be cor
rect, her of course Reade, as do all
other English writer's, fails in the highest
conception of his art. In his portrayal of
character he was always vivid and real
istic. His special delight, as well as his
particular forte, lay in his ability to depict
a robust, energetic female character. In
his forcible and mastery word-paint-
ing he frequently approached the sub
Unity of Victor Hugo. There was a
strength and a virility to his style that
was always a source of delight to the
reader and as long as vigorous English is
admired, his works will be read .-ED.

Mixed un Cuban Affair.

NEW YORK, April ia letter from
Havana dated April 5 says: Serious
accounts from the interior as to the move
ments of large parties of bandits and
government troops continue to come in.
Yesterday a battalion of regular troops
were sent from Havana to Vuelta Arriba
and for a few days the coast in the
n~eighborhood of Havana was occupied by
detachments of troops, The government
is evidently waking up to the situation.
Private accounts from St Domingo say
that Cuban refugees there are in possession
of large amounts of money and preparing
for landing in Cuba in combination with
parties here. This probably caused the
extraordinary movements of the troops.
The government, in spite of these
facts, pretends to ridicule all
reports of threatened invasion.
News reached this city that the Minister
of Colonies had made a new loan of So
600, 900 with the Hispano-C Colonial bank
at Barcelona for the account ofthe Cuban
treasury. The Cuban treasury will pay
l per cent. commission on the loan and
interest at 81 per cent. per mum. This
measure caused the greatest Indignation
here and added to the state of profound
alarm and general discomfort prevailing,
as the loan and contract are made with
the same bank that in 1880 caused one of
the calamities which brought about the

NEW York. April 1.-The World of
Saturday, will publish the replies from
Governor Hoadley Ohio and Governor
Jackson CIV. Va.) to the inquiries con-
corning the issues for the next presiden-
tial campaign. Governor Hoadley says:
THE issues upon which the presidential
campaign are to be conducted are the ne
cessity for the reform of abuses engen-
dered by long-continued Republican mis-
government for economy in the public
expenditures and for the restoration of
the United States to its rightfnl suprem-
acy. Absolute free trade is at present an
impossibility. Any tariff necessarily
affords incidental protection to the Dem
ocratic manufacturers of articles it
embraces, but protection should be
an incident rather than an object.
A tariff levied only for public uses
means a tariff exclusively on articles which
are not produced in the United States,
such as tea and coffee. | favor a tariff
for revenue, avoiding ~monopolies, but
carefully discriminating so as to encourage
labor, and as far as possible so constructed
in intelligent details as to give relief to
oppressed commerce and restore the
American flag to the seas, but not to
shock or rudely disturb invested capital.
This is the platform on which we carried
Ohio last fall, and with Tilden or Payne
we can do so again"
Governor Jackson's views 81 am not
in favor of making the tariff a presidential
issue. / believe in making hat issue
on the necessity of thorough reform at
Washington. | am in favor of the Ohio
platform-tariff for revenue with Incl
dental protection-as the wisest policy to
unite the democracy for victory. | believe
that a large majority of the Democrats Of
this state are in accord with the above
views"

The Homeopathists.

The disciples of Hahnemann are
growing in strength and numbers in
Texas, as was illustrated by their state
convention or medical association held
at Austin last week. They are grow
ing aggressive, too, as is shown by
their demand for representation in the
medical department of the state uni
versity and the state institution for the
insane. What effect their plea will have
with the state authorities is rather un-
certain. The public, however, which
is usually fair-minded, will be apt TO
say that the homeopaths ought to have
living chance, and be allowed to test
the value of their claims. 1t is quite
certain that homeopathy has made re-
markable progress in this country
within the past few years and that it is
gaining groun every year. 1t is
accepted and the favorite school oflmed-
icine with very many intelligent peo-
pie, comprising an influential and re.
spectacle element of society. 1t will
hardly do to put these people down as
the dupes of charlatanry and impost.

that they will very naturally take

movement which involves the good re
pute and value of system which com
mands and receives their colitenanc
