Mr.. w. L. Royal, of Richmond, who will
reside here for the remainder of the winter,

ably on Monday next in view of the urgent
Importance of the matter agree to the mo-

TIER of Congress who wanted an Office for

The House Foreign Affairs Committee
considered this morning the resolutions
calling upon the Secretary Of State for any
information at the State Department rela
tive to any connection that an American
might have had with the recent explosions
in London, which had been introduced in the
House. While all the committee were
ayowed in their detestation and adherence
of the murderous use of dynamite they were
not willing to assume, without any proof,
that Americans or Irish Americans were
the criminals in the villianous work of last
Saturday. Even Mr. Belmont, who thought
that some expression oftheir reprobatlon OF
that work should be made, agreed with
this view OF the case. The resolutions were
therefore referred for consideration TO a
sub committee composed of Messrs. Eaton,
Lamb and Rice, and ii is thought that
will be the last heard of them, as
these gentlemen we're the most pro
nounced in their opposition to them.
Mr.. O'Meagher Condor, the noted FeDian,
and Mr.. Patrick Ford, Of the Irish World,
who, anticipating something of this sort,
and convinced that the dynamiters and
their friends are the worst enemies Ireland
has, were at the Capitol this morning, try
ing to INDUCE the committee to take some
action denouucng the iahuman work of
the dynamiter4. Congressman Cobb, of In
diana, democrat, whose expressed deies
tation of last Saturdays work in London
has brought upon him the denuncialion Of
the Chicago dynamiters, says there are
many Irish agricullurists in his district in
Indiana, good and true men, and that he is
sure his expressed opinion of dynamiters
was fair reflex of theirs. He also says
it is only the communists and nihilss of the
cities who advocate the use of dynamite,
and that the mass of Irish Americans are
as much opposed to it MS native born citi
zeDs.
Mr. Randall has returned, after visit TO
Mr.. Cleveland, and Mr. Carlisle left here
last night also to visit the President-elect.
MIR. Rainfall is very reticent about the OBJ
ject OF his VISIT but it is generally conceded
that it was for the purpose of letting Mr..
Cleveland know what be knows about some
Of the more prominent democrats in the
country, and also about certain matters to
be alluded to in the Inaugural address.
Ex-Speaker Keller attempted, in the
House to day, to have read dispatch from
Mr.. Robinson, member of the House, but
who is now filling State Office in Ohio, in
reply to resolution of inquiry introduced
a day or two ago. Objection was made,
however, by Mr. Converse, who said the
matter had been referred to committee TO
which the dispatch could be handed. Mr..
Keifer, therefore, failed to have the dis
patch read, but, notwithstanding the cries
of order and the raps of the gavel, succeed
ed in making himself heard to the effect
that the member who introduced the reso
luton knew that Mr.. Robinson had resigned.
General Malone, to-day, for the first time,

ertains such hope.
