Baltimore special: Michael O'Leary, not
quite 16 years old, bids fair to become
second Jesse Pomeroy. To-day he was
committed to Jail to await the action OF
the grand jury on charge of trying to
poison ]. Bauer, and also for stealing.
O'Leary was errand boy in Walselrs art
studio. Miss Josie Nair, a young salssladv,
informed her firm Of seeing O'Leary in
Walsell's private Office. A sum of money
had been stolen from Walsell's pocket.
When O'Leary learned that he was sns-
pected he prepared for

A few hours after Jose Bauer, one OF the
photographers of the store, was down

reception room which Miss Nair is in charge
of is a toilet room. tumbler that STOOD

Bauer filled the glass with water and began
garglipg his throat before drinking. There
was muriatic acid in the glass. The effect
of the acid was instantaneous. Bauer
turned in agony to confront O'Leary, who
stood near. The latter said: Say, don't

Mr., Bauer rushed past the boy up stairs to
the gallery. suffering agony, and told
Pouter, the head man, what had occurred.
The latter quickly mixed ammonia and
handed it to Bauer, who, after gargIlng his
throat. felt better, and putting his fingers
into his mouth, pulled therefrom a guam
tity OF flesh in long strips, which had been
burned off by the acid. The acid would
have killed the lady had she drank it, and
would no doubt have proved fat al to Bauer
had he drank it. His throat is badly

WASHINGTON. February l2.-The United
States Consul at San Salvador has made q
report to the Department of State in re-
gard to the railway system of Central
America. He says that President Menen.
dez of Salvador is an earnest friend OF the
United States and like the late President
Barrios Of Guatemala, favors the assimila-
ton of the institutions and business
methods Of his country to those Of the
United States. Bar1ios projected the con-
struction OF a railway from the bay of
Santomas on the Caribbean Sea to Guate-
mala City, a distance Of $50 miles, whore
it was to connect with the existing narrow
gauge of the Guatemala Central. IS miles
in length, terminating in the Pacific
at the open roadstead of San Jose. Forty
miles Of this trancontinental road from
Puerto Barrios to Guatemala City were
half finished at the time of Barrios' death.
His successor, President Barillos, pursued
the same policy favoring the construction
and other railways pro-
jected Ii Guatemala, particularly the one
designed to connect the capitals OF Guate-
mala and Mexico.

President Adams Before the House Com
naittse on the Pacific Railroads.
WAsHlNe7oN, February IL. = Charles
Francis Adams, President of the Union
Pacific railroad, appeared before the
House Committee on Pacific Railroads TO-
day. He explained the attitude OF that
company toward the funding bills pending
before the committee. Generally he iav-
ored the Outhwaite bill with q few slight
amendments intended to relieve the re-
stricting features. He said that he did
not care to make any extended remarks
for the reason he had made a statement
to the committee two years ago which in
it's essential features he had seen no occa-
sion to revise. Meanwhile the business had
become two years older and was q matter
of which not only the country but Con,
gress and the press had become somewhat
weary. It is an old story gone over ad
nauseam, said Adams. He didn't intend
to 60 over it again but would simply refer
the committee to the volume which exist
and which has been increased by six. of
seven volumes of the report OF the investi-
eating commission: "1f you will give US =
chance" said Adams i've are willing

see that the load is 80 adjusted that we
can pay it," He said that he had gone
with care over the bills prepared by thai
commission, and Outhwaite had prepared

his presidency of the Union Pacific. 1t wae
also assumed the requirements OF the
Outhwa ate bill had replaced those imposed
by the Thurman act. Had the Outhwaieal
bill been enforced the company would have
been able to meet all it's fixed charges. in.

what policy the company would pursue. |
He wished the committee to

nual meeting and it would be for them to
say whether the act passed by Congress
would be accepted by them. He was free

tion as q Republican. He has done much to
disarm enmity before; this should certainly
remove it all now. He will be at the front
for the party next fall, and Blaine Republi-
cans will be for the candidate without sulk-
ing, whoever he is. Iowa has voted in three
successive national conventions for Blaine,
and believes in him now more than ever.
Now that he is out of the field, it will prob
ably present
CANDIDATE OF ITS OWN.
It has two very strong and fit men in Sena-
tor Allison and Justice Miller. Both are
very strong in the State, but the Senator,
from his closer relations with the people
in late years. will have greater advantages.
There will be no contest between them, and
the State will be united for an Iowa candi-
date. Senator Allison is strong in all
Pacific States. He is exceptionally strong
with the business interests of the East, be-
cause OF his level headed and sagacious
career in Congress for twenty-five years.
JUSTICE MILLER
is known as q trusted counsellor of Presi-
dent Lincoln and of all the Republican
Presidents since, and as the first jurist OF
the country OF the present age. The indi-
cations are nov that the party will take
Western man for the candidate. Sherman,
OF course, will move powerfully into tue
contest under the new order, but believe
the country will respond to another man
and that the choice, if made between West
ern men, will be between Allison and Har-
rison or Gresham with Rusk, of Wisconsin,
will likely develop great strength. Sher-
man il a strong man, but his age and the
of Blaine clears the field for
new aspirants such as the ones have
named in the West, with Foraker added,
and such men as Hawley and Hiscock in
The East"

THE NATIONAL LEGISLATUKE.
Some of the v ork That Will Engage Its
Attention This Week.

AtC00ClOu SVOCAs
WASHINGTON, February 12.-The secret
service division of the Treasury Depart
ment has discovered that new counter
felt of the five-dollar silver certificates has
been nut in circulation. The bill is about
three-sixteenths of an inch too short.
There are no distinctive lines in the paper.
The general appearance is good and liable
to deceive.
BUSINESS BEFORE THE SENATE.
The educational bill still remains the un-
finished business of the Senate; but there is
q unanimous understanding that it shall
be disposed of next Wednesday. Senator
Edmunds will call up some time during the
week for consideration and action the
bill reported by him from
the Foreign Relations Committee
to charter the Nicaragua Maritime
Canal Company. Beyond this no an
nouncements have been made for the COM
ing week, and no programme laid out:
The calendar contains over two hundred
measures reported from committe, IA num-
Der being private pension bills). and the
unassigned time of the body is likely to be
conanmed in consideration of miscellane-
GUS matters to which they relate. It is
expected that one or two speeches will be
delivered during the week on the Presl-
dents message, which still lies on the
table.
IN THE HOUSE.
Tomorrow will be given up by the House
of REPRESENTATIVES to the consideration OF
business originating with the Com
mittee on District Columbia, and the pro-
ceedings are not likely to be OF general in
terest. It is the intention OF the Appro'
nriations Committee to call the urgent de-
fieiency appropriation bill early in the
weak. This measure has been delayed some
time by Juggling in supplementary estimates,
but it will probably be disposed OF during
