he has l don't believe in. | hold to
evolution as a scientific deduction perfectly
consistent with the sacred Scripture, and

Notwithstanding the assertion of the ven

TREACHERY IN CAMP.
Dynaniter Believed to be a Spy on His
Brethren.

PARIS, April 10.
Several English detectives have arrived in
Paris for the purpose of tracing the dynami-
ters. In spite of the report of Col Majendle
it is declared that the dynamite used at Vic
toria station was made at q factory between
Amens and Boulogne. There is a rumor
afioat that an attempt will shortly be made to
blow up one of the public buildings in Lon
don. The activity of the dynamiters con-
tinues unabated. They meet twice every
week for the purpose of making plans and
preparations for future outrages. 1t is be-
lieved that the English and French police are
acquainted with their movements, and that
every effort will be made to counteract their
plots. There is great reason to believe that
one of the most trusted of the dyDamit-
ers' league keeps the police fully informed
of all their plans. His treachery to his fell
low conspirators is of course literally reward

corted to their quarters.

ence c. Kent was ramming cartridge into
the cannon, when the powder was ignited in

was badly shattered and almost torn from
his arm. He was Immediately taken to the
Maine General Hospital, but it was thought
he would have to undergo amputation. Corp
oral White received q bad wound in the
thumb and his coat sleeve was burned. The
cause of the accident is thought to be some
defect in the cannon as this is the third ac-
cident caused by the same piece.

FROM WASHINGTON.
MORE DANvILLE.
John 5. Wise Before the Sherman
Committee.

WASHINGTON. April l5.
John S. Wise appeared before the Sherman
subcommittee investigating the Danville
riot to-day. He said he represented Col. W.
E. Sims, who had received notice that the
witnesses we're about to be examined in re-
spect to his personal character. Wise read
letter from Sims to Sherman stating he
knew not the nature of the threatened attack
on him, nor did he care if he was allowed to
show animus which prompted them he
desired if the committee saw fit to examine
into his character for veracity, to be allowed
to summon witnesses, touching the moral
character of all the parties. including Sena-
tor Vance and Representatives Geo. c. Ca
bell and Geo. ID. Wise, who were. he was in
formed, engaged in an attempt to blacken
his character.
Vance-Wel, Mr.. Chairman. 80 far as
the notice 10 intermatient, my character 10 to
be assailed, sir
Senator Sherman-I think myself, COVER
nor, that that ought not to enter on the rec
ords, snk should certainly recommend
Senator Vance-It is unusual and it is
damnable, and defy the whole he'll to find
a crowd to assail his character here and else
where. Never heard of such propersition as
carrying the war into the committee and
making war on q member of the committee
who is simply doing his duty as appointed
and required of him by the Senate, of which
he is member. 1t is threat, sir, which l
dispise and defy and condemn.
Senator Sherman said there was no further
necessity for argument. When questions
were raised by the offering of testimony
it would be their time to discuss and decide
then, so far ss the threat to involve member
of the committee as to his character and con-
duct was entirely improper.

into Turtle mountains few weeks ago to
search for his brother, Michael Obimer,
whom the Indians had captured to prevent

Indians have been reinforced by q large band
from across the boundary under the chief
Little Shell. They refuse to allow settlers
upon the portion of their reservation which
has just been thrown open by the Interior

The Indians have not killed anyone, but
they destroy all machinery and kill cattle be-
