McCook and Grant.

NEW York, Jan. 26.-The dispatch
published to-day from Salt Lake City,
conveying the new of the injured dignity
of Gen. A. Med. McCook, now in com
mand at Fort Douglas, over the alleged
structures upon his conduct in Gen.
Grants article on the battle of Shiloh in
the February Century, naturally attracted
notice and comment among military men.
Most of them had read the article but it
had not struck them as rejecting on Gen.
McCook's conduct on that battlefield. al
though it is commonly known that the
relations of Gems. Grant and McCook
have not been cordial. Il shall be inter
ested in seeing McCook's reply which he
threatens to make through the proper
channels" said an officer to-day. 1T
will be a curiosity if not a sensation, but /
doubt if anything he can say can rob Gen.
Grant Of any of the glory Of that battle.
McCook has been sour and waiting for a
chance to break out since he and Gen.
Buell. were relieved Of their command at
Chickamauga. But Gen. Grant had
nothing to do with that, although Nc
Cook may have thought so. It was the
act of the wal department"
At Gen, Grants house little Importance
was attached to the McCook dispatch.
Col Grant, who had assisted his father in
preparing the manuscript, said: II doubt
if Mr.. McCook has read the Century arti-
Gle as carefully as he will before preparing
his reply. He did his duty at Shiloh.
There has never been any intimation to
the contrary. His troops made a long
and hard march during the first days
battle and the second day they fought.
Considering that the battle was very fierce
and that the army was worn out, the APP
pearance of an entire division marching
up at the close, as if going on parade, was
naturally a stirring sight. It was prob
ably the only appearance of order on the
field. What the article stated was truth.
1t was inspired by no other motives. So
far as it refers to Gen. McCook, it seems
to me that the allusion was compliment
airy. A man who could bring up his di-
vision as if going on parade after a hard
days march and another day of fighting
did what few commanders would try to
do. TWAS an extraordinary thing and
struck my father as worthy of mention.
AS to fathers having pursued Gen. Nc
Cook for twenty years, he has never had
occasion to mention him before in any of
his writings, nor in any of his dispatches,
nor in any military council. Their rela-
tons extended over about FIVE days. Nc
Cook belonged to Buell's command. He
came under father the second day at
Shiloh, and about four days afterward
was ordered off with Buell. toward Chick
amauga."

New ORLEANS, Jan. 26.-To-day was
a great day for the exposition. Extensive
preparations had been made for the re-
ception of the famous liberty bell from
Philadelphia. Among others invited to
take part in the proceedings was Jefer
son Davis. who met the special train bear
ing the bell at his home at Beauvoir,
Miss and made a brief speech there. A
large number Of citizens of New Orleans
and Philadelphia also met the train at
that point and all came together to this
city, where the streets were lined with
people for miles. The car bearing the
bell having been received on the standard
gauge tracks at Elyseum Fields street
steamed along the levee about 4 o'clock
and much enthusiasm was shown, salutes
fired, whistles blown and flags displayed
on the shipping. A grand reception was
arranged to take place in music hall Of
the main exposition building, but several
unforeseen delays occurred and it was
found necessary to postpone the reception
ceremonies until Wednesday afternoon.
Music hall was hacked with people. The
weather to-day was very fine and the at
tendance the largest since the opening.

The Damage Done.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-An inspection of
the parliament buildings to-day showed
that excepting the beautiful window over
looking the staircase at the south end Of
Westminster hall, scarce a pane of glass
escaped destruction. The foundations of
the buildings were badly shaken. The
roof of the crypt, in spite of its massive
strength, was greatly damaged, riffs being
visible here and there. The floor of the
house Of commons presents a strange spec
tacle, being covered with heaps of mas
sive fragments. The deliberately carved
oaken wall behind the seats beneath the
gallery was completely thrown down. The
flooring of the strangers and speakers
galleries is so torn up that it is deemed
unsafe to venture across. The peers gal
lery suffered the most damage. The side
galleries and reporters gallery were not
injured. The parcel which caused the
first explosion was wrapped IN brown
cloth and was two feet long by one foot
wide.
The west end Of Westminster hall was
full of wreckage caused by the explosion.
The destruction Of the magnificent stained
window at the end Of the hall is greatly
lamenfed

Fire IN the Public Ruildinra.


WASHINGTON, Jan 26.-Fire was dis
covered this morning in a lot of books and
records stored under the roof of the
house of representatives. The fireman
cut away the wood and o extinguished
il. The fire was confined to a space less
than twenty feet square. The damage
was trifing. The fire is supposed to
have started by the electric wires used in
lighting the hall.
The first discovery that FIRE was in
progress was that a few large sparks were
seen to fall upon the floor of the house
from the roof above, which in a moment
increased to quite a shower. A few rep
resentatives in the hall, and officers and
pages rushed for the doors, and for a
moment they seemed to expect an explo-
sion and see a repetition of Saturdays
scene in the British house of parliament.
There was no water and no way Of getting
at the fire except up the steps and the
narrow iron staircase running three
stories, upon which two men cannot pass
each other. After some delay, however,
buckets Of water were passed up, and
what came dangerously near being a seri-
u confagration was averted. In the
room to which the fire was confined were
stored the records otethe first session of

About Stewart.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Intense anxiety is
felt for the fate of Gen. Stewart. The
war Office has received no further tidings
from him up 10 noon to-day. Dispatches
are expected every hour. The officials
make no effort to conceal the deepening
disappointment as they still fail to come.
Alarming rumors are flying about the city
concerning the fate of the brave fellows
who fought at Abu Klea wells, and then
disappeared in the desert beyond. The
apprehension that a serious disaster has
occurred is gaining ground. The trans
port Deccan has been ordered in readiness
to onyey a regiment to Malta and from
there to Egypt if occasion requires, A
dispatch from. Alexandria to the Exchange
Telegraph company says Gen. Wolseley
sent reinforcements from Korti to Stew
art, and he himself is about to press for

what socialista Think-

CHICAGO. Jan. 26.@Ihe usual weekly
meeting of the Socialists was held this
afternoon. The meeting was presided
oyer by a colored woman, the wife of A.
X. Parsons, a white man. Saturdays
explosions in London were the principal
themes of discussion and the speakers
were unusually fierce and bloodthirsty in
their advocacy of the use of dynamite.
The London explosions were characterized
as a great advertisement of the power of
the dynamiters. It was said that it
showed the ability Of the Socialists to go
into such large crowds in broad daylight
and explode their bombs with such perfect
safety. One speaker, in reply to an OBJ
lection that the use of dynamite caused
the death of innocent persons. said that
the innocent must suffer for the good of
that great body. In the case Of the Lon
don explosions, the machine was set off in
the house of lords first in order that 4
large number Of persons in the house of
commons might have time to escape.
Another said that a little hogs grease and
a little nitric acid formed a very powerful
compound. Ten cents worth would blow
a building to atoms. Another remarked
that the body of a dead capitalist would
serve the purpose as well as hat of a hog
There were 5000 men in Chicago who
knew how to manufacture dynamite in
their own kitchens for the price of a good
dinner. 1t was well known that the
whole of Chicago could be set ablaze in a
moment with electricity. 1t was suggest
ed that the board of trade and newspaper
offices be attacked first. Still. another
speaker agreed with Gen. Sherman hat
an army of $1,000 men stood no chance
against a few men with dynamite.
, 1885-01-27

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-In the Senate
Bayard called up his resolution ofSaturday
regarding the dynamite explosions in Lon
don. In doing SO he said he wal better
satisfied at the lapse of a day in asking
the senate now to adopt the resolution
because the body had this morning an
opportunity to affirm what naturally and
instinctively prompted an expression on
the instant Of receiving information of
the uncivilized, cruel and barbarous at
tempt to destroy, in another country,
human life and with it buildings dedi-
Gated to the making of laws, in a vain
hope possibly to gain relief from suffering
by thus overthrowing law itself in its
very citadel. 1t seemed eminently proper
Senator Bayard added that the lawmaking
body o fthe America people should ex-
press its ~antagonism to the spirit which
by destroying the law would necessarily
destroy all hopes Of liberty that could
only exist under the law.
Senator Riddleberger said that the
resolution now before the senate ex-
pressed the indignation Of the senate at
the blowing up Of certain buildings in
England, because forsooth they were
buildings in which the laws of England
were made, laws which guaranteed liberty
to the subjects Of Great Britain. That
reason was not sufficient for him. I'VE
would not" he said, BE expected to ap-
prove all the methods of the Irish people,
but while we were ourselves, preparing
and experimenting with dynamite to
blow vessels out Of the water and to
drown people IN the ocean, it scarcely be-
comes US TO say to people who did not
constitute a government, and who could
not make a proclamation of war, that they
should not use the same Instruments Of
war hat we would use under the
same circumstances. Put any Of
us in a country where we could
not exercise the God given right
of owning a foot Of land, even though
earned with the sweat Of our faces, and
then see what methods we would employ.
He did not mean to Justify the method, but
he would not vote for any resolution that
might be distorted into an expression Of
sympathy or even common fellowship,
with a country that knows nothing but
cruelty and gives lone Of her subjects the
exercise Of that liberty that we, on this

are the facts without ~elicitine any Ak

In the conclusion of his speech Senator
| ingalls, said: There is something worse
in society than dynamite, and that is the
passions and wrong and guilt that make
dynamite possible. The worst dynamite
is in the soul of man. Poyerty-helpless
and hopeless oppression-thc wrongs of
centuries-are ingredients Of that qency
of destruction. If we are 10 be expected.
BY the adoption of this resolution. to ex-
press our conviction that the American
people or Irishmen naturalized in Amer
lea, are in n way whatever responsible
for these outrages. or that they are in any
way whatever accomplices of those who
are responsible for them. l. sir, repel and
disavow it. These acts convey a mo-
mentous and portentious lesson. No
matter what may be said of the
course of England toward Ireland for
centuries, no matter what may be said of
her cause in the East Indies. in China. in
Egypt, in New England, in all portions of
the earth where her power has been ex-
erted, there can be but one opinion of the
lesson that these occurrences teach. That
lesson, sir, is that for nations. as for men.

tice. The thief robs himself, the muir

woman seen in the building that after
noon under suspicious circumstances. The
woman is believed to have carried the
dynamite under her cloak. The notice
gives the following personal descriptions.
The manage 35 to 40 years, height 5
feet 10 inches, sallow complexion, chin
shaved, fair whiskers and moustache,
rather pug nose. wore long brown over-
coat, dark trousers and billycock hat; the
woman-age 40 years, short stature. sallow
complexion, wore dark dress and sealskin
or imitation sealskin jacket. Fifteen de-
t~ectives arrived at Dover from London at
midnight last night Several of them
have since departed for various railways
10 keep a lookout for suspicious persons
that may have taken part in the London
outrages. Two of them are in close con-
sultation with the French detectives.
The key found in possession of the pris-
oner Cunningham exactly fitted in the
door of the residence in Whitechapel
claimed ny him as his place of abode; also
keys which fitted in the lock of a suspic-
ious bag and box. Cunningham is the
only suspect now in custody.
1t is now known hat the internal ma
chimes used to cause the disasters were
ignited by sulphuric acid which worked
through cotton wool and ate away the cap
beneath. The process occupied twenty
minutes time and this allowed the conspir-
ators to escape before the explosion took
place. An official notice has been posted
at the entrances to the law courts empow-
ering the police to search any bag or par
eel before the bearer thereof shall be
allowed to enter.
The queen has summoned the controller
Of the royal household to Osborne house,
the queens residence on the Isle Of
Wight, to describe to her the nature and
extent Of Saturdays disasters in London.
In the council chamber of the tower Of
London, whole cases made Of plate glass,
a quarter Of an inch thick and containing
lrmor, were shattered by the force of the
explosion. The wall against which the
dynamite was placed is sixteen feet thick.
Notwithstanding which the plasterinr
On the opposite side of the wall, for a
of several feet, was shaken to the
door, leaving the stone work bare. Sew
sral good photographs of this effect of the
explosion have been secured.

Washington Territory's claim.

WASHINGTON, Jan. &c. - Governor
Watson Squire, of Washington Territory,
is in the city. In his report to the secre-
tary Of the interior, which is the first
made in five years, he urges strongly the
right and necessitypf Washington Terri
tory's admission to the union. He says
this territory is the only political division
on the continuous seaboard of the United
States which remains in a territorial con-
dition. Its foreign commerce requires
ampler conditions of government. The
presence of an English colony, growing
rapidly prosperous. also affords another
reason for its admission. The settlement
Of riparian rights on Puget sound would
be greatly facilitated under a state adj
ministration of the territory's affairs.
The present population, according to the
latest estimates, is $4,000, and the
volume Of emigration promises to con-
tinue undiminished. During the past
year l,246, 900 acres of public land was

congress, with all the original reports of
the committees, of the proceedings of the
house, and reports Of the various.heads of
departments, including some valuable re-
ports dated 1870. The close proximity
of the fire to these volumes rendered it
most miraculous hat they were not
burned. They could never have been re-
placed and their loss would have been a
great misfortune. Members of congress
expressed their surprise and uneasiness
that there should be such lack Of means
for extinguishing a fire breaking out in
this way. The FIRE is supposed to have
been started by electricity as a number of
wires used in lighting pass the point where
the fire began.

A Miner Mangled.

WmKRsBARRE, Jan. s6.-Daniel Egan
and Edward Deyans, minersat the Wood
ward shaft, Kingston, were being hoisted
from the bottom of the shaft this morn
ing. As the bucket conveying the men
was nearly at the top a pin in the reyers-
ing lever of the engine fell out making it
impossible for the engineer to stop the
engine and the bucket went through the
head house. The men jumped. Deyans
caught a piece Of cross timber. but Egan
missed and fell 70 the bottom of the shaft,
a distance of 900 feet. His body was re-
covered mangled in a horrible condition.

GALVESTON, Jan. 26. -Startling ru-
mors are aioat this morning regarding the
sudden death at midnight last night of
Clinton G. Wells, president OF the cotton
exchange. II is said his death resulted
Intentionally from an overdose Of NOR
phine. Rumor attributes the suicide to
financial embarrassment. The firm of
Walston, Wells 4 Vidor, the large cotton
factors, are reported hopelessly insolvent
and suspended payment about noon. The
deceased was also president of the Island
City savings bank, on the doors Of which
has been the notice: CLOSED on account
of the death of President Wells" On the
floor Of the cotton exchange it is currently
said the bank is a total wreck. The de-
positor are principally poor people. There
is considerable excitement over the flying
rumora.
