Shaken sy a tremendous Explosion.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Shortly after six
O'Clock this morning an attempt was made
to destroy Shufeldt & Company's distillery,
in the northern portion ofthe city by means
of dynamite. Enough facts are not yet
known to justify conclusion as to whether
it is the work of anarchists or of some one
who has a personal grievance against the
Shufeldts. The neighborhood was shaken
by tremendous explosion, shaking the
buildings, breaking many panes of glass in
the surrounding houses and causing people
to rush into the street In great alarm.
Investigation showed that a bomb had
been thrown, probably from the street, into
detached warehouse used for storing high
wines. This building was shattered so that
tie hoops were burst off many of the casks
and the heads were driven in. Very soon af-

Evidence for the Times.

LONDON, Dec. 10-In the debate on the
Irish estimates In the Commons, John Ellis.
member from Nottinghamshire, moved to re-
duce the vote for the Irish police by $4,000.

curing evidence for the Times, and forcing
witnesses by threats to appear.
Mr.. Dillon stated that in 1s45, when the
population was over 100000. the cost Of the
Irish police was only a430,0OO yearly, and
now, when the country was much less dis
turDed and the population four and three
fourths millions, the police estimates amount
ed TO 81, 10000.
Mr.. Balfour denied that the police intimi-
dated persons to give evidence for the Times.
He aimed to restore the relations between
the people and the police to the condition of
friendly respect which existed before It had
been perverted by the Parnellites under the
pretense OF working for the interests Of the
country
Mr.. Ellis's motion was rejected. 16e to 100

At a recent meeting of the Biological soci-

tuberculous patients, for instance, does not
contain any microbes, and that the breath
probably plays no part in the contagion of
infectious diseases. At the same time, but
by other persons it has been shown that the
air expelled from the healthy human lung
contains peculiar matters that are certainly
poisonous the carbonic acid being included,
of course, and that are given up by the lung
