 This afternoon JohnT. Reilly, his friend had conversation with him. To this friend Phelan said he came here to ex- plain certain matters to Rossa about an interview in the Kansas City Journal.

Why did you let them catch you this way?' II did not get time" returned Phelan, land besides the room was so small and the attack so sudden that couldn't get my pistol out" Reilly said to a reporter afterwards that he knew Phelan we'll in Kansas City in 1872, where he once prevented him from fighting a duel.

Cox, of New York, :n troduced report of Representative Nut ting, of apPropnating S100,0O0 to aid in the completion of the pedestal for the | statute "Liberty enlghtening the World" The report says: "The stat | ue was d magnificent gift from the peO- | pie of France to our whole people, and | not to the people of New York, and it belongs to the people as nation. It would be arrogance for the state of New York to pay for the pedestal, and claim the statue as its own. The statue is | national symbol, it is national property | and congress should finish what Is so well begun.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Richard Short, | the man who stabbed Capt Phelan yes terday in O'Donovan Rossa's office was arraigned in court to-day. Few people | were present. Short appeared calm and collected, he remained to await the result | of Phelan's injuries. The prisoner was seen in his cell by reporter but refused to say anything, at the hospital the phy- sician said Phelan's condition improved | since midnight, but it is barely possible | that he might recover. Very few new | developments in the matter to-day. | ROssa is reticent, when approached on the subject. Capt. Phelan of Kansas City l who was attacked in New York yester- day, was lieutenant of the capitol police here during the 46th congress. He held | the place two or three years, but when the Kansas City district became Repnbli- can through split among the Demo crats, Phelan lost his position and | returned to Kansas City. Since he left | Washington rumors from time to time have reached here connecting him with | dynamiters. It was at one time said he had gone to England on a dynamite expedition, ana this is the trip to which he referred in Kansas City of the time of the interview.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-The New York Tnbune's special says today: The common opinion in this city and else where is that Rossa's office was the headquarters of harmless lot of buster CTS, whose interest in Ireland's wrongs was far less zealous than their ardor for filling their pockets, and that they claimed the planning and direction of l dynamite scheme against Great Britain merely for the sake stimulating contribu tions of Irishmen who believe in this mode of warfare against England. The revelations made by Pheland will throw a new light on the character of the men who have surrounded Rossa and Joyce. So long as these fellows were looked upon as mere bTagga-ts, whose plots were only on their lips, they stood Tn little danger of the law, but 1T the stase- mems of Phelan can be credited that the passengers on ocean steamships ase in actual peril from dynamite, cOnspiratOrs will soon find that New York Is no safer Place for them than London would be; neither this city nor this country will al- low lurking places of murder to e=,st unmolested.
