consult with him. The latter was confer

are in executive session ?" Mr.. Vest laugh.

Edmunds see him. "He'll arrest you and
put you in JAIL" he continued Assistant
Sergeant.at.A Arms Christie appeared at this
juncture, exhibiting much surprise at Ochil.
trees presence. He asked no questions,
but taking the Texan by the arm, hurriedly
escorted him to the Senate door, told him
10 'get out" and closed the door upon him.

The Late Explosions.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The repairs in West.
minister Hall will be formidable ra,k
owing to the height Of the roof. The esclu.
sion of visitors from the Tower is SO ,,rirt
that Baron Chelmsford was for long tine
refused admittance. The Duke of Cam.
bridge has given orders that newspaper rs
porters be granted free admission TO the
building. After Colonel Msjendi had Coin
pleted his prolonged and minute SCRUTINY
of the locality of the explosions in the Par
Lament building, it was handed over to The
workmen. The chief architect is of the
opinion that temporary repairs can be ef
fected within three weeks.
PARIS, Jan. 27.-The Gil Bias make.
some. sensational statements about the Lon.
don explosions. 1t declares positively tina,
the authors Of the explosions are the same
men who made the dynamite attack Oh
London Bridge and at the Cover stree.
railway station. The chief organizers of
both plots, the Gil Bias asserts, have been
for long time past, and are now employed
in an English printing Office in Paris, and
until a recent date lodged in the St. Denis
quarter in Paris where they manufactured
the Internal machines used in their diaboIi,
cal work.
When everything was in readiness Tor tho
preparation of the contemplated aroci.
ties continues the Gil Bias, the picked men
who were to lodge and set the machines
departed separately and by different route,
for London, each carrying with him one OF
more Of the machines. This was six weeks
ago. The Gil Bias says that no one of
these conspirators speaks French, and that
no member of the entire band ever attended
an anarchist meeting in Paris.

drew up at Beauvoir, at about one o'clock,
among the large crowd assembled at the
station was Varina Davis Hayes, u little
grandchild of Jefferson Davis. As soon rs
the train stopped a gentleman caught the
child in his arms and lifted her to the bell,
which she warmly clasped with her tiny
arms and reverently kissed, exclaiming
"God bless the dear old bell" The incl
dent was greeted with cheers, which had
not subsidized when Mr.. Davis himself drove
up with an escort of gentlemen who had
been sent for him. Upon his arrival. Frank
