a cabin door, One of them, with clay pipe

visited Ottawa, Canada, December 18th,
to interview the Minister of RAILWAYS
and members of the Cabinet with view
TO taking steps to renew the charter held
by himself and other United States cap
italists, to build railway from Calgary
north to Athabasca, landing beyond Ed
monitor at the threshold of the fertile
Peace River country. This is one of the
most extensive schemes ever contem-
plated with the object of reducing the
passage between America and Europe to
q minimum. The plan is to build rail-
way from Quebec to the most easterly
point of Labrador, where safe harbors
abound, and to place feet OF ocean
greyhounds on the Atlantic. The gov
eminent calculates that the voyage
could then be made to England in 80
DAYS. The author of the scheme says
that passengers leaving Washington
Monday night and travelling by rail via
Quebec to Labrador, would reach Lon
don the following Saturday. 1t is said
that vessels can enter certain Labrador
harbors the year round.

DURING the third week in November a
meeting of planters owing $500 slaves
was held at San Paulo, Brazil They re-
solved to set free all their slaves at an
early date, and decided to convene a
meeting in December OF all the San
Paulo planters to agree on a general
emancipation of all the slaves in the
province not later than the end of 1890.
It is more than probable that the pro-
posed result Will be attained, as Brazil
ians are very susceptible to impulses of
enthusiasm, and now religion, as well as
humanitarianism, is arrayed here against
slavery. 1t is, however, a matter of
very general belief in Brazil, especially
among the slave owners, that the ex-
tinction of slavery will inevitably, in the
course of a few years, bring about the
reinforcement of ''King Coffee" as the
great staple of Brazil, it being considered
impracticable to carry on coffee planting
without slave labor or It's equivalent

prosecution and the police. who were
represented in the person of Inspector
BOnfield. AS soon as the terror
inspired by the execution had in
some degree subsidized, the leaders
of the red flag movement began to
formulate plots for revenge. A close
watch was kept on them. and, seeing
that their efforts would be futile, they
subsidized for the tine being. Among the
most active of the agitatOrs was wood
worker named Frank Hronek, native
OF Bohemia. who was a comparatively
well educated man. He spoke English
tOlerably well, and was also well versed
in the German language, which he had
learned, together with knOwedge of
the uses OF bombs and dynamite during
three years. residence in Vienna.
HrOnek was personal friend of Lingg
and was an ardent admirer of the dead
bomb maker and his companions. he
decided to organize group" similar
to those of days gone by. The group
was to be much more limited in numbers
and was to be kept to the strictest
secrecy. He found an able lieutenant

designs of

group was Frank Chelbowa, who is,
like his fellow conspirators, a Bohemian,
but has no knowledge Of any other
language. This trio formed
group, to which two others were
admitted. They held frequent meet
ings and HrOnek was elected mo. l."
or leader. The great design was to
avenge the murder" of the dead an
archists, and Judge Gary and Grinnell
and Inspector Bonfield were selected as
the most responsible parties and the
victims. The group had frequent meet
ings, and read works on dynamite and
its uses. HrOnek had a stock of the eX-
plOSive, which he had procured in the
days preceding the Haymarket horror.
He also
INVENTED A BOMB
which was spherical, about three inches
i'll diameter, made of TIN and designed
to be charged with dynamite and broken
glass and ignited by means of fuse
and Illuminating cap. A number of
his bombs were made, beside quantity
of others of the ordinary design of gas
usual. Chappek and Chelbowa were
bombs, but the other members of
the group were not so deeply trusted,
and received none of the deadly ma
terials. About July the group had its
plan in shape and began to reconnoiter.
The three leading spirits did not work
July 4, and celebrated the day by talk
ing a walk to Aldine square, where
Judge Grinnell resides at No. 10. They
prOwled around the square for some
time surveying the house and seeing
how it might best be attacked. AS
they were leaving they came

The sudden encounter unbalanced them
and they gave vent to eXclamatiOns of

he could identify the men if he were
ever to see them again.

CHICAGO, July 17.-There is strong
probability that the Burlington strike
will be settled within the next few
days. just what the terms of settle
ment will be is now but matter of con-
lecture. 1t is likely, however, that the
terms OF compromise will result in the
strike being declared off by the Brother
hood. and all the moral assistance pos
slble granted in the future in cOnsidera-
ton OF the Burlington recognizing the
brotherhood and reinstating in its en-
ployment such men as it may desire to
I'LL vacancies existing and which NAV
occur in the future.
Chief Arthur this morning said in
course of conversation that he would
not and did not countenance any vio-
lence whatever on the part of members
or the brotherhood against the Burling-
ton road. Continuing. he remarked:
II am very sorry to think that any,
member OF our order has done an overt
act. do not know as yet whether the
strike will be declared off or not, but Id
may be soon. Mr.. Arthur subsequently
said that if it was proven that any menu
ber of the Brotherhood had used violent
means to gain the ends desired, that
man would be Summarlly
EXPELLED FROM THE ORDER.
Mr.. Arthur said he was waiting for
a message which would determine
whether he would go to st. Paul. Moth
ing definite had been done at the con-
ference with the Burlington officials
Monday night, he said, and no further
consultation had been arranged. Chief
Sargent, of the Firemen's Brotherhood.
remarked that he had a very pleasant
talk with 20" officials, which might
lead to a settlement of the troubles.
"Mind," he continued, 81 don't say it
will, but it may"
General Manager st. John, of the
Rock Island, when asked to-day if there
was a prospect of strike upon that
road, said: ''If there was any indica-
tion of strike on the Rock Island I
would certainly hear of it. Our men
have no grievances that | know of. |
have not been waited on by commit
tee, and | certainly do not think there
is any trouble among our engineers"
With reference to the dispatch received
from Davenport last night, Mr.. Hoge
said this morning: 1.-The dispatch might
mean boycott or many other things,
but [ don't think there will be anV
trouble. The 90 affair will be fixed up
before many hours have passed, and

it will be like pouring Oil on the troubled

This was the first learned of the prob
ability of plot and a guard was at
once put upon Judge Gary's house,
though the suspicious were carefully
guarded from the judge himself. In
spector Bonfield went to work on the
case, but for several days met with little
success. He could learn nothing of the
conspiratOrs, and the only safety
was to be found in carefully guarding
the houses of the persons whom the
anarchists would be likely to attack.
Then prominent Bohemian citizen
visited the inspectors office aud told
him that he had heard vague rumors of
a plot. Two days later Bohemian, one
of the members of the group, became
cOnscience-Stricken or terrOr-stricken,
and going to Bonfield made a
clear breast of the whole matter.
The designs, he said, had been
fully prepared, and it had been agreed
that each member of the group was to
select his victim. There was to be no
formal plan of action, except that
HrOnek was to take Inspector Bon

Judge Grinnell and Chelborne was to

''THE DAY OF THE EXECUTION"
was fixed as the 18th of July. Each
man was to select his victim and use
what means he considered best-the
bullet, bomb or poisoned dagger. Should
either fail and be captured, he was to
die without disclosing the names of his
comrades, who OH their part were to
avenge his death. The informer
not only gave the inspector this
information with the names of the men,
bers of the group and number of SYM
pathizers, but told how much dynamite
each had and how he generally protect
ed himself. Hronek, he said, was the
most dangerous of the party, and
always slept with revolver and
a poisoned knife under his pill
low. Monday Lieut.. Elliott and
the inspector went to Hronek's house
at 1852 Farrell avenue, and made plat
of the vicinity and the easiest way of
getting to the house. Then Inspector
Bonfield and Chief Hubbard had con-
ference. and it was decided to act with
out further delay. Inspector Bonfield
went to Justice Lyon about midnigh hit last
night and SwOre out warrant for

Ex-Congressman Finerty Says
That Next to England the Pontiff
Us Ireland's Greatest Enemy.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE letter of the
pope explaining the rescript on the
Irish question has caused an unusual
stir among the Irish citizens of Chicago.
A reporter called on ex-Congressman
John f. Finerty, the gentleman most
prominent in the meeting of protest
called at Battery D some weeks since,
and asked him what he thought of the
new explanation. II can only say what
1 said when the rescript was first dis
cussed," was his reply. ''It is an inter
ference in Irish politics. If Archbishop
Walsh had taken the ground he should
have taken this second letter would
never have been sent. If the Irish bish-
ops of the nineteenth century had the
backbone of the English bishops of the
thirteenth century they could easily
have brought Leo XIII. to terms. AS
issue is made at last. For the last 700
years the Irish people have been suffer

of papal interference in Irish affairs.
Next to England Rome has been Ire
lands greatest political enemy;
and it is on questions of poll
tics now. alone, and not on
matters of faith, that I am speaking.
To have the homes of Ireland leveled
to the ground, the fathers and the
brothers and the sons butchered, the
wives, sisters and daughters outraged,
the infants piked or bayonetted, and all
promiscuously starved, is

manhood and womanhood. The pope
