The Report Of the Dynamite Plot in
the NiederwaId Confirmed.
MORE DETAILS OF THE ATTEMPT TO MUIR
DER THE ROYAL PERsoNAGEs AT THE
UNWILLING OF THE STATUE OF GER
MANIA.
LONDON, July 16.-Despite the strenu-
GUS efforts of the German authorities to
suppress the facts, it is evident that there
is substantial basis for the general belief
that a desperate effort was made to mur-
der the Emperor and other august per-
sGhages at the Inauguration of the Ger
mania monument in the Niederwald last
September. The first hint of the conspir-
acy became public when the workmen,
who were completing the ornamented
approaches to the monument this spring,
found small quantity of dynamite con-
cealed in q drain pipe. The discovery
produced a great sensation, and Govern
ment commission, consisting of military
officers and engineers, was appointed to
investigate. From time to time frag-
nnentary reports of their discoveries leak
ed out, notwithstanding the efforts made
to keep their proceedings secret, and it
became known that they had found traces
OF mine of explosives directly under the
read traversed by the Emperor, which
might have blown the entire cortege sky
ward, except for the fortunate accident
that the mine had become saturated by a
heavy rain storm. These revelations
were followed by the arrest of number
of suspected conspirators, who were first
examined before the Commission, and
then imprisoned at Stuttgart The arrests
revived the excitement, and it seemed
necessary to do something to abate the
alarm. Consequently, when the official
report of the Commission was made and
the newspapers sought to learn its con-
tents, they were officially Informed that
the commission had failed to find any
evidence of a conspiracy, and were told
that no information beyond that state
ment would be given to the public. The
Stuttgart Staats Anzeiger, however, man
aged to obtain the outline of confession
made by one of the alleged conspirators
imprisoned at Stuttgart, and printed itas
matter of news. This provoked fresh
denial from official sources, coupled with
an intimation that the public prosecutor
at Berlin was making inquiries with a
view of detecting and furnishing those
who were engaged in circulating lies cal
culated to disturb the public mind
Special reference was made to the re-
ports of attempts upon the Emperor's life
at Ems, at Gratz, at Elberfeld, and in the
NiederWald

"Mr Pope issnot a republican. If he
was, we would be proud of him for the
manly courage he has displayed by defy
ing the wrath of bourbon democracy."-
T. Hind.
Pope was mayor of Madison for some
time continued Mr. Eagan, ''and used
his position to prosecute republicans and
to protect his associates. As a sample,
take the case of Gus Crosby. Crosby
was one of the most promising young
men in the county; was inspector at one
of the polls, in Madison, in 1860, and was
summoned as witness before the Uni
ted States grand jury at Jacksonville.
On his return to Madison he was assault
ed on the street by man named Forres-
ter, one of Pope's associates, and shot
through the shoulder. Both were arres-
ted and taken before Pope as mayor, who
fined Forester, who did the shooting, So,
and Crosby, who got shot, SEQ and costs.
Crosby was forced to leave the county,
and is now in this city. a cripple for life.
While the republicans of the state were
raising money for the defence of Savage
and James, Pope volunteered his services
to prosecute them, and made the most
violent speeches, during the trial at Jas
per. calculated to incite the mob to vio-
lence in case the prisoners should be ac-
quilted"
How do you regard the independent
platform?"
That is as Objectionable as the candi-
date so far as the republican party is con-
cerned. | am not prepared to place a
brand upon myself and party by endors-
ing what the platform untruthfully as
sorts when it declares that therepublican
rule of eight years in this state was in
