Dollars Worth OF JOWOlry.
CHICAGO, March l0.-The police made
an arrest yesterday which resulted in the
finding OF an unexpected treasure and will
probably lead to important developments.
For some time past they had been looking
for one James Ryan, who Is described as
variety actor, petty thief, etc. Yesterday
evening he was arrested as he was leaving
9 pawnshop, in company with we'll.
dresaad young man, who said hiB name
was Charles T.. Mcneil. Both men were
taken 10 the Harrison street station and
searched. Nothing Of note was found on
Ryan. Mcneil had q new gold watch in
his pocket, and exhibited such marked
signs ot uneasiness over the searching
process that he was literally stripped to
the skin. For defense against Indictment
weather he wore three undershirts, and
between two ot them had secured q pouch
containing $S3 in gold coin.
After removing all Of Monell's clothing
the officers found tied around his body
small sack made Of a silk handkerchief,
which was filed with rich lot OF dia.
monds, sapphires and other precious
stones. Some OF these gems were set in
new gold bands, but most Of them were
loose. When asked to explain how these
valuable stones came into his possession
Mcneil made several contradictory state
ments. First he claimed 10 have bought
them in New York then he said he was
an actor, and had purchased them at vari-
Gus times from brother professionals. who
were In hard luck, and finally that he &c.
cured them at a bargain in San EranCisco
from man who had Just arrived from
Australia.
The police found that Mcneil had
pawned a new gold chain worth $50 for S..
From this, and the fact that the setting Of
the Jewels found on Monell'g person were
new, the police argue that the whole lot
was stolen from some iswelry store.
Several dealers in precious stones were
called INTO appraise the flud and placed
the value at $500 To $4,000. Mcneil ID
about q years old, wears small dark
mustaCbe, and uses his tongue with re-
markable iluency. Both men have been
held to await an investigation which will,

he aud senator Logan HAVo.a Brisk Passag
at Arms,

WAsHISaToS, D. O., March lO,-In the
Senate to-day Mr., Riddlsbsrger called uE
the Eads matter and said he found in the
Record a letter from ]. B. ERds, addressed
to the Senator from Illinois tMr, Logan,
He would liketo know how the Senator
gat the letter into the Record.
Mr., Logan said he had nothing to do
With getting 1t into the Record.
Mr., RiddlebeFger said he could load
down the Record with letters critiCislng
the Senator and the way he acted during
q presidential campaign, but he had not
done it. Eads could not charge him (AIr,
Riddlebsrger) with falsehood and put ii
in the Congressional Record, but q Senator
could take Eads letter and make 1t part Of
his own remarks, and as the letter ap-
peared in connection with Mr., Logan's re-
marks he (Mr. Riddleberger) intended to
answer 1t as such.
Mr., Logan was astonished that Mr..
Riddleberger should say that he (Mr,
Logan charged him with anything, He
had merely presented letter Of q re-
spectacle citizen OF the United States,
ME' hluuleudIkeI salu " WAa pSlnuuA
Ie ter to the Senate.
Mr.. Logan replied that he had done no
n6re in the matter than he would have
hone for any respectable citizen of the
United States, but he meant nothing per-
5onal TO the Senator.
Mr., Riddleberger said he would always
resent imputations such as were contain
ad in that letter, The letter had no bust
uess here. He was not 80 great soldier
ls the Senator from Illinois, but he would
yield to cover and uncover the conspiracy
to make the United States Government
endorse for the Esds' ship canal company.
We all know, he said, that ex.Sscretary
Window was at the head Of that company.
Mr., Cockrell rose but gave way TO Mr..
Logan. Mr., Logan said he had not seen
Mr.. Eads, who, he believed, was siCk
IN New York, but had received the letter
rom him. AS the letter requested an In.
vestigation Of charges made against Mr.,
Eads, he (Mr. Logan had presented 1t to
tho Senate. That was all, and he would
do that for any respectable man who asked
him TO do 80. t...
Mr.. Logan at the suggestion Of several
Senators modified his resolution 80 as to
provide for q reference ot the Eads letter
10 the Committee on Commerce.
Mr.. Riddleberger said he would decline
to appear before any committee. What he
mad to say would be said to the Senate and
In open session, ..
