THE TALLAPOOsA's DREW.

The Proposition to Reimburse Them
Meeting Opposition in the House
Naval Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-A number Of Re-
presentatives are considering the propriety of
offering resolution in the House of Repre-
sentatlves calling for an investigation Of the
useof government vessels for alleged junket-
ing expeditions. The resolution will be pre-
sented by either Representative Buch-
anan or Representative Geo. D. Wise.
At meeting of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs to-day. the bill recently intro
duced, providing for the payment of pensions
to relatives Of those who lost their lives by
the Tallapoosa's sinking, and compensating
the survivors who lost their personal prop
erty, was discussed at length. Representa-
tives Wise and Buchanan strongly opposed
its being favorabIy reported to the House.
and said that they twould protest against
the use Of any naval vessel by the Secretary
of the Navy for pleasure purposes"
On motion of Mr.. Wise. resolution was
agreed upon requesting the Secretary of the
Navy to inform the committee what public
business the Tallapoosa was engaged in, and
under whose orders the vessel was sailing at
the time of her collision with the Baltimore
schooner. This information, it was held,
should be secured before final action was
taken on the bill

ANARCHIST ADVENTURES.
STORY OF THE PLOTS AGAINST
EMPEROR WILLIAM.

Fuses to Death-Dealing Mines Touched
With Burning Cigars When His Ma
jesty Was But so Feet Distant-How
the Courage of One of the PIotters
Failed at "a Critical Moment.
LElPsIc, Dec. l6.-The names of the an
archiss besides Reinsdorf and Bachmann,
whose trial was begun here yesterday, for at
tempting to cause an explosion at the unveil-
ing of the Niederwald monument to Ger
many, are Kuehlin, Rupsch, Holzhaur,
Rhelnbach aud Toeler. The trial, it is thought,
will last week. Four counsels are en-
pioyed FOR the defense. Rupsch has con-
fessed that Reinsdorf ordered him to fire the
mine: rms consisted of large stone jar and
bottle filled with dynamite, and furnished
with percussion caps. To these fuse was
attached. and the whole was placed in a
drain which crosses the road about ten min
utes walk from the Niederwald.
TOLD TO FIRE THE FUSE.
He was ordered to fire the train when the
Emperor Williams carriage was fiftv feet
distant from the drain by applying lighted
cigar TO the end of the fuse placed at the side
Of the roadway. Rupsch asserts that he was
unwilling to effect the explosion and only an
piled an unlighted cigar. Kuchlin upbraided
Rupsch for his failure, and the latter gave as
an explanation for his failure that the fuse
was wet ana failed to light. Kuchlin then
told Rupsch to place new tinder in the fuse
and explode the mine when the Emperor was
returning. Rupsch returned to the drain and
fastened fresh Under to the fuse, but cut the
fuse in two about two metres from the charge.
APPLIED LIGHTED CIGAR. --sgrs
When the Emperor returned and was at the
proper spot Rupsch applied the burning cigar
TO the fuse and walked away. Kuchlin was
very angry at the second failure, and when
the road was clear of people removed the dy-
Mantle to the grand pavilion at Rudesheim,
where concert was in progress. Kuchlin
thereupQn sneaked away and Rupsch exploded
the dynamite ten PAGES from the pavilion and
ran away. He declared that he only wished
to see the unYeiling of the monument made
without expense, and that he intended from
the first to Illustrate the murderous plan.
SKEPTICIsM OF THE PROSECUTION.
The prosecution regard the last statement,
and also the statement that he applied an un-
lighted cigar TO the fuse and cut the fuse, as
inventions made by Rupsch for the purpose of
exculpating himself. Reinsdorf appears to
have been the ringleader of the conspirators
throughout. He bears himself now with the
utmost GOODNESS and almost effrontery. 1t has
transpired that Reinsdorf had had dealings
with HOdel, the man who attempted to assas-
sinate the Emperor William in 1878, and also
with most well-knOwn anarchists. He
denies, however, that he was eyer Herr

Available Man In the Race.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The friends of Pres
ldent Arthur say that his chances of success
In the contest for the New York Senatorship
are better to-day than those of Anybody else.
They say that the only opposition that would
be dangerous to him would be that which
would arise should Levi p. Morton announce
himself as a candidate. This, however. they
declare he will not do. When it becomes
settled that Arthur will be candidate Mr..
Morton Will retire. AS to the Presidents re-
Iuslng to let his name go before the Legls-
iaCure they say that he cannot
hold out in this determination,
as the opportunities of his friends will be too
strong to be disregarded, and moreover. he
will DE impressed with the idea that he is the
only man on whom the party could unite
THIS, they contend, is the case. If Mr.. Morton
should announce himself as a candidate
Conkling, Cornell. Platt, and some of the
Blaine men, would unite upon him to oppose
Arthur, but without the use of his name they
could not unite on any one. The claim of the
Blaine men that their opposition to
Arthur is upon the ground that he
did not accord his hearty support to Blaine
during the campaign, the Presidents friends
say, is mere pretense. They say that
Arthur really did take an active part in the
campaign, and Blaine knows it. When the
time came when the Presidents assistance
was required, Mr.. Warren wrote to him ex-
planning the urgency of the case, and Mr..
Arthur went to New York at once and did all
In his power to save Blaine.

The Naval = INSTRUMENTATION,

WASHINGTON, Dec. JIG. The House bill re-
ported by Senator Hall from the Senate Com
mlttee on Appropriations, to-day making
temporary provision for the navy, IS
amended by striking out all after
the enacting clause and substituting
the regular naval appropriation bill OF
the last session. This Is modified by the
omission of few of its provisions, which
were incorporated into the temporary bill Of
the last session and by deducting the amounts
appropriated for the first six months of the
current year. The provisions for the new
cruisers for work in the navy yards and for
the continuance of the work upon the moni-
tors are retained in the nrasant- hill

WASHINGTON. Dec. i6.-Blaine shows a
disposition to meddle in politics with mis-
hIef-making tendency. While his agents are
busy at Albany with the Senatorial fight, in
which he takes so much interest, he himself is
charged by friends of Secretary McCulloch
with intriguing to prevent the confirmation
of the latter's nomination. Blaine looks upon
the nomination of McCulloch as almost per-
sonal afront, aggravated by McCulloch's
frank and honest expression of his tariff
opinions. There is good reason to believe
that he has done all that he could to and the
Virginia Senators to defeat McCullocn's con-
firmatiOn.

GREELY's RANsACKED DESK.
Sergt. HOltnOrth Said to Have Been His
Unknown Visitor.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Republican has
information that the burglary of Lieut.. Gree
ly's desk at the Signal Office, made public Suu-
day, was the work of Sergt. Otto Holtnorth, of
the Signal Office. Sergt. Holtnorth had been
largely instrumental in uncovering Capt.
Howgate's frauds, and had formed an opinion
that other officers in the corps were implicated
with Capt. Howgate. Lieut.. Greely was
one of those whom Sergt. HoltnOrth
suspected, and when Lieut.. Greely recently
returned to his desk in the Signal Office here
Sergt. Holtnorth imblbed the suspicion that
he was in communication with Capt. How
gate. To verify this suspicion, he broke open
Lieut.. Greely's desk and copied portion Of
his papers. He then impaired his discovery
to Representatives Guenther and DeusteT,
who carried it to Secretary Lincoln. Lieut..
Greely had informed Secretary Lincoln of
his having previously received communica-
tion from Capt. HOwgate. Sergt. Holtnorth
was dispatched west to the place where Capt.
Howgate was supposed to be to arrest him.
The result Of his errand has not yet trans
mir
