LONDON, May IS.-The Press asSocia-
ton has issued 4 two column statement
by an American giving full details of the
dynamite plots. Burton, it is stated. was
ono Of the center of the society called
the Robert Emmett Association, or
Sons Of Freedom" Each center directed
a party Of plotters who were unknown to
each other, therefore parties Of men
might b. working in the same plot at the
same place unknown to each other. The
chief Of the society wa o O'Donovan
Rosa, but a man residing in Philadelphia.
Burton, alias Jas. Feeny, was long a
bosom friend of Rosa While
in Baltimore Burton was a constant
visitor at the house Of a handsome quad
roo woman named May Smith. The
other parties were offended at and COM
planned of this connection, which resulted
in the call of Burton to New York. A
fortnight later the woman was found dead,
having been shot in a mysterious manner.
In 1880 Burton quarrelled with Rossa and
they have since been bitter enemies. Bur
ton founded a society Of avengers. II is
believed Burton's motive throughout was
not patriotic, but pecuniary.
The statement gives the method by
which the explosives were brought to
England. The Cover street explosion
was done by an older brother ofUunuing-
hams, resembling the latter, who escaped
to America Immediately after the explo-
sion. Burton directed all explo-
sions except that at London bridge.
He detailed Cunningham and another
man to blow up the tower. Cunningham
only watched while the other man placed
the explosive The aecomplice escaped
before the fuse vas consumed. Three
men effected the Westminster explosions,
two of whom, in female attire, carried the
explosives in their hoopskirts. All three
escaped. The attempt to blow up the
Albert memorial fsiled. owing to closure
Of games. The package Of dynamite Is
probably still in the Serpeuline.

WASHINGTON, May .l9.-Adminl
Jouett informs the navy department that

Commander B. II. McCaiia, who com

the isthmus during the recent trouble
there, returned to Washington to-day.
He reports the health of the men who re-

point, but when Aizpurus agreed in
writing not to erect barriers in the city,

or the inside after his agreement As
long Us Colombian troops remain on the

there will be no trouble. and the cause
of the recent revolution was the denuding

DENVER, May lS.--The shopmens'
strike Of the Denver & Rio Grande Dad
assumed a very serious aspect to-day.
In accordance with announcement made
at the strikers meeting yesterday after
noon. at which several incendiary speeches
were made, about 500 men and forty or
fifty women assembled in the vicinity of
the shops this morning. Several inflama-
tory speeches were made, songs were
sung and a general demonstration of def
ance INDUCED in. One of the yard men,
returning to work. was set upon by the
crowd, knocked down. kicked and cut
about the face in the most brutal manner.
Other workmen were escorted through
the crowd by a posse of deputy United
States marshals. About s o'clock two or
three hundred Of the strikers formed in
line and marched to town, a halt was
made in front of the Rocky Mountain
Neics, which had seen fit to criticize the
action Of the men in striking, and to
denounce some of their designing leaders.
Here copies Of the Neies were burned by
the mob amid a pandemonium of jecrs
and yells OF derision and defiance. The
crowd proceeded up Sixteenth street; at
Shields cheap store another halt was
made and the same programme gone
through with. 1t appears Shedd recently
discharged a saleslady who belonged to
the woman's branch of the Knights of
Labor organization, without asking the
consent Of that body. Circulars com
manding the reader to boycott Shields
cheap store and boycott the Necs we're
distributed everywhere. Talks with a
large number ..of the best citizens to-day
prove that whatever sympathy the strikers
may have retained up to this time, has
been lost by their riotous conduct Of this
morning No arrests have yet been
made.

GABRIEI.'s CRossING, May Is.-The
troops have crossed the Saskatchewan
river, and proceeded via Duck lake to
Prince Albert, which place will probably
be reached to-day. Riel's capture alb
sorbs all other topics. Rel says Lawrence
Clark, Of the Hudson Bay company, pre-
cipitated the uprising. The half breeds
were celebrating the feast of St Joseph
when Clark arrived from Winnepeg.
CLARK first Knocked their religion, and then
told them hat 500 soldiers would give
them all they wanted in the way of cere-
mony if they did not go back to their
homes and abandon their nonsense. Rel
was absent from the Batouehe at the time,
and on his return found that his people
were in arms and determined to plumber
the stores before the troops mentioned by
Clark arrived. Ricl denies that he was
the leader of the rebellion, and says he
AN prove hat he wanted to go back 10
the United States, but was not allowed.
He expects to be hanged, and devotes the
greatest part of his time to fasting and
prayer.
A courier reports to Gen. Middleton
that while on the way from Batouche to
Prince Albert, he met three Indians
twelve miles from Iepenes Crossing.
While talking to the Indians, Gabriel
Dumont, Riel's lieutenant, appeared on
the edge of a bluff and asked the courier
what he wanted. The courier asked Du-
mont to give himself up. saying Gen. Mid
dleton promised him a fair trial Dumont
replied that he had arms and intended to
fight and would not be taken alive. The
rebel lieutenant with a few followers was
last seen yesterday preceding from the
open prairie towards the ruins Of Ba-
fouche.

does not exist than that along the
southern shore of the Baltic No fences
mark the boundaries of the fertile farms
which stretch away over the rolling
hills of the distant horizon, all aglow
with yellow grain. AT intervals clumd
of trees often seen intensely dark against
the ripe grain shows where a farmhouse
stands, the giant windmills swing their
sails ON the highest hilltops. The high
way, Il finly built chaussee, leads straight
across the country, only curving to pass
through some village. Mountain ash,
birch, and cherry trees border the road
III an unbroken rank. In the bitches
and by the roadside grow countless
varieties of wild flowers perfect
paradise for the botanist. From the
highest hill the eyes meet to the south
a succession of grain fields. To the
north, beyond the soft undulations of

in the strong sunlight, a narrow line.
sharp at the horizon. The dimensions
of the brick barns prove the accustomed
magnitude of the harvest the luxury
of the farmers houses tells of inherited

VIOLIN NARNiSUES.

We do not say that amber entered
into all the Cremonese varnish, nor are
we prepared to admit that the excellence
of that varllish depended upon the
presence of that costly fossil gum. We
suspect that the fddlemakers bought
their -varnish, as they bought their
wood in the open market, selecting it,
no doubt, with equal care, perhaps
modifying it in various ways before
application and, further, that the
varnish on those old violins will be
found almost indentical with the varnish
of the old italian pictures. Painter and
fiddlemaler probably went to the same
shop; any one could get the stuff then
(the bad cheap Cremonas have it as well
as the good ones.) AS long as the art
OF Italian painting was at all alive, so
long there was q demand for this par
ticuIarly good varnish. When it de-
clined at the end of the eighteenth
century the manufacture of the pre-
vious vanish went out. Anything
cheap in the varnish line was thought
good :enough, and pictures and tiddles
alike, along with their glossy coats, be-
came good for nothing.
