THE DYNAMITERS.
The Police on the Right Track to
Discover the Authors of
the 0utrages.

London, 5.-The police ST EN- to be
on the right track to discover the
authors of the dynamite outrages,
and think they have evidence which
will soon lead to their capture. 1t
has been learned that three men
landed at Southampton on February
10Th from a steamer from New York.
Two of them were of gentleman~
like appearance the other was
rough and sailOr-like. They pur-
chased two portmanteaus, one of
which has been identified as that
found at Charing Cross station,
filled with explosives. The
other is that found in Vic
torla station. A portion Of an
overcoat found in the Charing Cross
bsg was similar to garment worn
by one OF the three men. 1t is be-
Iieved three other men, who have
not been tried, landed likewise at
Southampton and acted in concert
with the three whose movements
are partly known, hut kept aloof
from them. The three men first
mentioned left southampton about
the same time; two gentlemen
came to London, where one went
directly to the Waverly Hotel, car
rying valise as heavy as lead. The
other man went to Waverly a few
days later. After they left the
hotel two boxes made to contain
small American clocks. and a key
to cash box similar to that in the
portmanteau found in Pad
dington station, were discovered.
The sailor took ticket from South
ampton for Bristol, but this is not
believed to have been his destina-
ton. He had previously writ en- a
letter addressed to Limerick. 1t is
the six men were con-
in the plot and divided them
selves into three parties on Febru~
airy 2lst. A rewa d is offered for
the apprehension of five men, two
of wnom are described as Ameri,
cans. An Irish-American who is
named Burns, or Barton, who de-
scribed himself "a an American de-
tective, took lodgings at Bradford on
February 6.h. He had two black
trunks and allowed no one to enter
his room. At midnight, February
10Th, be brought home with him
several strange men and women.
On another occasion some time after
this Kissing sound was heard to
proceed from the strangers room,
followed by an explosion. Burns
opened the door and exclaimed there
was nothing wrong. He disappeared.
On February 21st a woman called
for his baggage. She said Burns
was about to return to New York

WHILE EVERYBODY reads much
nova days about the dynamite ex-
plosive, comparatively few persons
have ever seen it or know anything
of how it appears. It looks very
much like a cheap quality of moist
brown sugar. Nitro-glycerine,
which is formed by the action of
nitric acid upon gly cerine, at low
temperature, is the active agent in
dynamite, but is mixed with some
absor bent substance. to render it
safer to handle than the liquid gly-
cerine. The absorbent material
thus used Is a silicious earth-a fine
white powder composed Of the re.
mains OF infueoria, and resembling
powdered chalk; this takes up two
or three times its weight Of the
nitro.glycerine, without becoming
pasty, and the ingredients are eaelly
mixed, leaden vessels and wooden
spoons being used to avoid danger
Gus friction. When fame Is applied
to this mass it burns with q strong
flame, without any explosion; but
when ignited by a decorating fuse,
or even by a sudden blow, its ex-
plosive force is tremendous.

PROTECTION OF COAL MINERS.

The bill introduced in the House
last month, by Mr.. Boyden, of Sum
nit, providing for the health and
safety OF persons employed in coal
Mines" and which has just been re-
ported back to the House fevOrably
from the committee on mines and
mining, strikes US as a measure that
should be passed by the assembly
and become law. The bill Is long
one, and seems to be quite complete
in its provisions. Briefly it provides
for fling maps or plans of the work
ings of mines with proper officers,
for cuff Gent ventilation, for suitable
means Of signaling between the bot
tom and top of shaft or slope, safe
means Of hosting and lowering
persons; that emo male person un>
der IA years of age, nor female ger
son of any age, shall be perm itted
to enter any mine to work therein )"
that only competent pers rs shall
be employed as engineers or to take
charge Of machinery whereby men
are lowered into or hoisted out # any
mine; that boilers shall be kept in
good order and reg ularly inspected !;
that the authorized inspectors shall
examine the mines and machinery
and few other provisions, all of
which seem reasonable and neces-
eary.
The coal mining industry is as
Stunning very large proportions In
this Territory. There are not less
than 5000 men working in the
mines, and the number is annually
increasing. These men are entitled
to all the protection that the law
can throw around them. Practically
they are at the mercy of employers
who will do no more than they are
compelled to for the convenience
and cheap working of the mines and
the protection of their own property.
Mr.. Boyden's bill has evidently been
drawn with the view to the preven>
ton of those awful catastrophes re-
ported 80 frequently from coal mines
elsewhere, but which it is hoped
will not occur here. It ought not to
be necessary for US to wait for q
mine disaster before adopting pre-
Ventive measures.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

The other morning reference was
nc ale in these columns to letter
written by Mr.. Henry G. Lea, re-
garding the proposed international
copyright. 1t was thea stated that
such copyright was not in the inter-
est of the reading public nor of the
pockets of the masses. We have
since received q circular, issued by
American publishers in opposition
to Representative Dorsheimer's
bill now under consideration by a
com mittee of Congress. This circu-
lar gives some figures and facts in
reference to the cost of books in
England and of American editions
of the came that have been pirated.
The following table will be inter-
esting as showing what would be
the cost to the American reader in
case the proposed legislation should
force him to buy his books from
England in place Of getting them
here. The English price is stated
first, the American next, the edl-
tions being the cheapest issued in
each country:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-03-06

This list does not include fiction,
which forms the much larger share
of the intellectual entertainment of
all classes. The difference betw cen
the prices of novels In England and
in this country Is even greater than
that of books Of permanent value
like those named above.
1t will thus be seen that interna~
tional copyright would be a
heavy tax upon the reading
public. At the came time,
the fact is not altered that
an international law which would
protect the rights of authors in all
countries where their books may be
read would only be fair and just.
Americans are enjoying the luxury
Of the cheapest literature in the
world, but they are doing it more or
less at the expense of strict honor
People who read can afford to pay
those who contribute to their enter
tainment or instruction, and an au.
thor should be protected in his prop
efty as much as any other person.

NEW HE1ICe's DELEGATE.

The national House of Represen-
tatives has just unseated the Hon.
Trauquilino Luna (Republican),
Delegate from New Mexico, and
given the seat to another Mexican,
Msnganares, who is Democrat.
The certificate Of election was given
to Mr.. Luns upon his showing of
1902 votes against 1886 for his
opponent. However, Manganares
alleged fraud on the part of Luna,
and seems to have proven the charge
to the satisfaction of the House.
This result will be iil>received by
the ousted Delegate, who seemed to
think his claim on the seat impreg-
nable. He sneered at Mangsnares'
contest, and until very recently
laughed at the idea that he could be
turned out. Politics in New Mexico
is in very crude state, compare
lively few of the people there COM
pretending the principles of the
two parties, and an equally small
number understanding the prin.
ciples OF the government itself.
The masses are foreigners to
all intents and purposes, and
if they know the full meaning of
the elective franchise they GER
tainly do not appreciate it, and of
themselves have neither the inter-
est in the result nor the energy ne
csssary to cause them to vote in
telligently. Luna's popularity is
due not to any marked intelligence,
nor to the fact that he entertains
certain political principles, but to
the circumstance that he belongs to
one of the Oldest and weslshiest of
the Mexican families in the Terri.
tory. Manganares is represented az
being much ADLER man than Luna,
and he is said to be deeply inter-
ested in the elevation, education,
cultivation and Americanizstion of
his people. New Mexico has lost
nothing in the change Of Delegates
that has been made.

ONLY TWICE in the history of the
country have both political parties
held their national conventions in
the same city. In 1914, when Clay
and Polk were the nominees the
Wings and Democrats held their
conventions in Baltimore, and in
1852, when the Wings nominated
Scott and the Democrats Pierce
both conventions were also held in
Baltimore. This year both parties
will meet in Chicago. and it looks as
if the Democratic nominee. as usual
would be elected.

New YORK, Dec. "a.
Herman Z. Voss, 342 East 10th ST., is a
paralytic cripple, who has always shown par
tiality for his younger sister Annie, even do
ing much to send her to Milan to complete
her musical education. His older sister,
Amelia, and his brother, were naturally not
well pleased with his generosity to his sister
Annie. they having received comparatively few
favors from him. Monday night Voss made
known his intention of buying two houses
and having the deeds drawn in the names of
himself and younger sister, who is still
abroad Miss Amelia tried her best to in
duce him to buy the property in her name,
but without success. Failing in this, she
went to the Trust Co. where her brother had
kept his valuables, the lock-box having been
rented in her name and Herman's, as the
cripple was not always able to go down town.
and took away S24, $50 in money and $50, 900
of securities, leaving little of value. Voss
placed the matter in the hands of the police,
and last night Miss Amelia promised to return
the valuables. As she did not keep her word
her brother had her arr ested this evening.
She refused to make any statement, and was
locked up at headquarters.

A CELEBRATED CASE.
The sharon.Hill Divorce Suit Decided
in Favor Of the Plaintiff.

SAN Francisco, Dec. "a.
The celebrated Sharon divorce suit has
been decided in favor of the plaintiff. The
suit as brought by the plaintiff, Miss Sarah
Althea Hill, claiming to be the wife of ex-
Senator Sharon was for divorce and division
Of the community property. Judge Sullivan's
decision is very comprehensive, containing
&c, 900 words. After reviewing the testi-
mony he concludes by declaring that under
the laws of California the plaintiff is tie
legal wife Of Sharon and as such, on the
ground of wilful desertion. is entitled TO q
divorce and division of the common property.
The latter is estimated to be worth $40,
900. The verdict is great surprise to the
public, it having been generally supposed
from the contradictory character of the testi-
mony the plaintiff would have been non
suited. 1t is believed that Sharon will
appeal
w. H, L. Barnes, leading counsel for ex.
Senator Sharon, says Of Judge Sullivan's
decision: 1T Is an entire surprise to the
profession, both as Law and facts. The
judgment If it stands will not be q serious
pecunisry injury to Sharon. don't think
he has SIC, ,000, 900 worth of property which
could be made subject to the decision. Sharon
is greatly annoyed by the present decision,
but he has not the slightest idea of q submis-
sion and Of course will appeal and we are
confident of reserving the decision. The
suit brought by Mr.. Sharon in the United
States Circuit Court to have the marriage
contract declared invalid will be prosecuted.
The plaintiffs counsel will make applica-
ton for counsel fees and $4,000 per month
alimony for fourteen months, or since the be-
ginning of the case.

TUE MYSTERY SOLVED
Concerning the Departure of Rev. Jno.
X. Thompson of BrOoklyn-A
Member of His Church Ex-
presses His Views.
New York, Dec, "a

NEW YORK, Dec. "a
Tonight's Brooklyn Eagle says The mys-
terry connected with the disappearance of
Rev. Jno. R. Thompson of the Grace NJ. f.
church, has been cleared up sufficiently to
show reasons why he left Brooklyn as uncer-
enormously as he did. He was addicted to
the habit of taking chloral and the drug so
unsettled his mental facilities that he was for
a time at least unconscious of his acts; that
he took the drug to excess there can be no
doubt.
A prominent member of his church, SAYS
The fact that five days after Thompson left
his home he went over to Jersey City and
drew out a sum of money from the bank in
which he had deposited there, entirely re-
lieves the suspicion from the minds of his
friends that he attempted or intended suicide.
81 think, said a member of his congregation
this forenoon, ''that when he recovered his
senses and knew the circumstances under
which he had left, the shock was so terrible
that he was ashamed to return even to his
home, much less to face his friends. NY
opinion is that he has kept away from his
own friends and has gone somewhere to get
rest from the great mental strain under
which he has been laboring."
