In Washington they have been look

the office of the SECRETARY of the senate
in which the record has been kept for 90
years of the compensation paid to sena-
tors. II is noticed as q TACT OF historical
int rest that IN the days when the earlier
BayaTds were in the senate the pay Of
senators was deducted when they VAR
absent. Another fact of historical inter
Ssl which dc IS not seem TO attract much
attention IN Washington, Is that the
laws now existing are viola'ed every
time 5 nat n or member draws pay for

there which says that If any member or
delegate withdraws from his seat and

session, he shall lose not only his pay
for the days he Is absent, but sum equal
to the mileage which would have been
allowed him for returning home. Gen

walton Of enforcing the law about ab-
sences. We are not sure, however, that
it would increase his popularity
with the senators There would be
nothing very unjust in drducting pay for
the time q member of congress is absent
from his duties on his own business, but
We believe the pay of a memb is now
too small. We have bees Informed by
members of congress that they can save
nothing out If the prescott salary, and
can only live ON it ny the most econom.

LONDON, March 5.-The police seem
to be on the right trail for the discovery
of the authors of the dynamite outrages
and think they have evidence which
will soon lead to their capture. Il has
been learned that three men landed al

steamer from New York. Two of them
are genilemanIy like in appearance and
| the other rough and sailor
like. They purchased two
portmanteaus, one of which has been
! identified as that found at ChaEing Cross
station filed with explosives, and the
other a. that found AZ Victoria station.
A portion Of an overcoat was found in
Charing Cross, similar to the garments
worn by one of the three It is believed
that three other men who have not
been traced, landed likewise at
South Hampton and acted
in concert with the three whose move
ments are partially known, but kept
siOof from them. OF the three men, the
first two came to London, where one
went directly to the Waverly hotel. He
had with him q valise Sc heavy as lead.
The other one vent to the Waverly a
few days later. After they lett the hotel
two boxes made TO contain small Ameri-
can clocks and the tray Of cash box,
similar TO that in the portmanteau found
at Paddington station, were discovered.
The sailor took ticket from Southamp-
ton for Bristol, but this is not believed
to have been bis destination He had
previously written letter addressed to

men are concerned in the plot
and divided themselves into three
parties on February 2lst. A reward is
offered for the apprehension of five men.

cans, one named Burns, or Baron, who
described himself as an Ameri
