National League, referring to the defeat Oh
the home rule measure says:
The friends of home rule are not to be dls-
couraged by this defeat. l have never nad
much faith in the passage of the bill by the
present Parliament. l regard defeat OF the
second reading and an early submission OF
the question to the people a greater advan-
tage than a successful vote on the second
reading with a long period of inactivity. Fol
lowing yesterday vote the present situation
c0mpels an active campaign and thorough dlS-
cussion throughout England, Ireland and
Scotland. The more it is discussed the
stronger it will become. 1t is one of the
great progressive questions which will bear
discussion. Some things are settled by the
progress already made. First, an English
prime minister has confessed that Ireland
was brutally misgoverned, that misgovern-
ment OF that character has utterly failed, and
that England stands before the world con-
fesSedly disgraced until her method of mis-
governing Ireland shall be changed. Second,
the offer embodied in Mr.. Gladstone's bill
fixes the minimum of self government for
Ireland. She can never be offered less than
Mr.. Gladstone has offered her. Whenever
England finds herself embarrassed by for
eign complications she must conciliate Ire
land That conciliation can never be at
tempted with an offer anything less than Mr..
Gladstone has asked England to concede.
The Irish in America will stand by the Irish
in Ireland in the continuance Of their strug,,
ole. They want it settled peacefully. If
England will not consent to peaceful set
tlement then upon her must rest the respon-
Sibility for such other methods as may be re-
sorted to, peacefully or otherwise. The
Irish race the world over will prosecute this
war until it is won. The march of Irish lib
erty is delayed, not ended

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

LEWISTON, June S.-Comparatiyely few
delegates to the Republican State Conyen-
tion have yet arrived, though the Dewitt
House is filled tonight, and sleeping accom-
modations are in great demand A full con
vention would contain 1881 delegates, but it
is not expected that more than 1900 will be
present and it is doubtful if more than 1000
put in an appearance. There is little excite
ment tonight. though the situation is freely
discussed The prevailing impression is that
Mr.. Bodwell has at least two-thirds of the
convention. His strength is more likely to
exceed than fall short of that figure. That
he will be nominated there is no doubt what
ever DR.. Hamlin is ON the ground but Mr..
Bodwell is not here and will not be- Dr..
Hamlin intends to contest the nomination to

at several hundred but will make no definite
statement. He claims that Penobscot and

THE ANARCHISTS.
a Runor That Startling Revelations
Will be Made at the. Trial.

CHICAGO, June SIT is understood that
the counsel for the defence in the anarchist
cases will be ready to proceed with the trials
Monday, June 21st, and until then they will
not make pnblic any points which might in
dicate the policy they propose to pursue.
The States attorney, 1t is thought, will not
enter any objections to the cases being
taken up on this date. While he may have
changed his mind within the past few days,
he has stated that in all probability he
would be assisted in the prosecution by Mr..
Ingham. of the law firm of Mills & Ingham,
of Chicago. If the charge of murder should
not be proven against Spies, Schwab, Field
ing, Parsons, Fischer, Engel, Lingg,
Schnaubel and Neebe, they will then be
tried for conspiracy. The grand jury, it is
Thought will resume the investigation into
the conspiracy of the Anarchists and Cap
tain Schauk will introduce number OF wit
nesses who have already made partial con-
fessions to him. Among these is the man
Seliger, whose story as it is told by himself
possesses startling features, which the
prosecution AYERS have not been known to
the reporters. The attorney for the State
admits that the general outline of conspiracy
as published heretofore is correct, but the
details, he says, are only known to himself
and probably three others. When Seliger
goes before the grand jury he will unless the
prosecution otherwise desires, relate all he
knows, and this is a great deal more than
has generally been supposed He was on
most intimate terms with Lingg and Engel,
he was at the meeting in the Lake street
basement at the TINA when it was resolved
to attack the police in the Haymarket with
bombs. and he is supposed to know all the
Anarchists present on that occasion. In
fact he was sergeant-at-arms at the meeting
and he occupied position where he could
not be kept from knowing who attended;
When Seliger has testified to this he Will
be corroborated by several of the people
who are indicted for conspiracy, and in this
way the State expects to form a chain OF
evidence which no defense can break down.
When all the evidence is in it is believed
that the showing will be such as to startle
those who have belittled the influence and
numerical strength of the Anarchists In
Chicago
The grand jury that adjourned last Satur-
day, was astounded by the evidence which
was laid before it, and its report as pre-
sented, it is claimed, was shorn OF many
sensational features. A Chicago morning
paper says that it is known that two reports
were drawn up One of these was of similar
import to that of the Seattle, Washington
Territory, federal grand jury, and the other
was that which was transacted IN the ASSo-
ciated Press depatches, Saturday. For some
reason the jury decided to present the latter,
which was the shorter and less sensational
of the two.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Senator Hale Achieves a Victory on
the Naval Cadet Bill.
Especial to the PREss.1


WASHINGTON, Jnne S.-Senator Hale to-
day achieved victory in his contest with
Senator Butler over the naval cadet bill.
This bill provided for the restoration to the
naval service of 145 cadets hon0rably dis
charged under an act approved August 5,
1882, limiting the number of graduates of
the Naval Academy to be retained in the
service each year. The bill was reported by
Senator Butler from the naval committee
adversely, the committee standing six for
the bill to six against. Senator Hale, who
led the opposition, claimed that these cadets
were discharged not to make room for others,
but simply because there was no room for
them and they were not needed, and to re-
place them now would be to throw into
the already overcrowded lower grade Of the
navy 145 young men for whom there are no
places. and who are not needed in the ser
vice. and would restore the condition of
things existing in 1882, when there were 50
officers for every vessel and one officer for
every five sailors. In addition. Senator Hale
claimed there was no prospect OF any in
crease in the efficiency of the navy sufficient
to warrant such an addition to its officers
for at least ten years to come. The amend
ment offered by Senator Butler, providing
that the cadets should not receive pay for
the time between the dates of discharge and
reinstatement, and that there should be no
change in assignments made under the act
of graduates to the line and to the staff and
marine corps, was voted down by vote of
on to IA. and was then, on motion of Senator
Hale. tabled without opposition.

Experiments with Anarchist Bombs.

Inspector Bonfeld, of the Chicago Police
force, has tested the force Of two of the
thirty-two gass-pipe bombs found under a
sidewalk during the hunt for the Socialists.
Accompanied by two officers he carried two
of them to the priarie near Humboldt Park,
and fired them. He describes the experiment
as follows:
The first experiment was made at 2 o'clock.
| placed one of the bombs under a bowlder
weighing about three hundred pounds, and
then ignited the fuse We ran some distance
away and awaited the explosion. We had
barely stopped running when a dull roar
greeted our ears, and turning round, we saw
the great rock in mid-air and enveloped in a
cloud of white smoke. The bowlder must
have been lifted fully four feet from its rest
ing place, but, strange to relate, not an inch
of its rugged surface had been Clipped by
the eruption. We then moved the stone to
one side and searched for the bomb. A huge
hole had been torn in the ground by the ex
plOsion, and in this crater-like basin we
found fragments of the pipe buried in many
instances at a depth of two feet. This dis
eOvery eXplOdes the theory which many peo
pie have held, that the missiles placed in the
bomb are discharged from the end at which
the Illuminating cap is attached. thus leaving
the pipe intact. The bomb we exploded was
torn into fragments, many of the pieces re-
sembling Jagged peanut she'll. The terrible
wounds, such missile would indict if thrown
into the midst of a body Of men may be imae-
ined.
''We then buried another bomb of the sana
description at depth of ten or twelve inches
and placed the boulder upon it. The eXnIo
sion hurled the stone several feet awayr ami
filled the air with turf. Investigation ro
yealed the fact that the pipe had suffered tbo

being found two feet below the surface of tbe

rumor was afloat that the four years old son
of William Sloan of Strafford was lost in the
woods. The neighbors began to search and
later in the day many from Stratford village
Joined them, the search being kept up all
night This morning suspicion of foul play
on the part of the child's mother led to a
search nearer the house of Sloan, which
soon resulted in the discovery of the body in
a small culvert under the highway. near the
the forehead. The child was carried into
the house, when Mrs. Sloan remarked, "You
think / did that, don't you?" She has since
confessed the deed, and attempted suicide
this afternoon. The Sloans live two miles
north of Strafford village. Mrs. Sloan has
been considered weak mentally and has a
vicious disposition. No cause for the crime
