broken, by terrific exp osion, the shock Of
which was felt all over Il 9 city. The fire de-
partment and police rese ives were called to
the spot, but it was only after a long search
that the origin of the explosion was traced.
1t was found that dyna mite bomb or some
thing of the kind had exploded in one of the
coal shutes of the brewer, breaking through
a two-foot stone wall, end demolishing the
shute and the stone work all around it, The
building itself was intact, except the win
dows, and the only damage to other buildings
was in broken glass.
The occupants of the tenements surround
ing the brewery were very much frightened
and several women suffered from tho shock,
but no one was seriously injured No frag-
ments of bomb, nor anything to indicate
the nature of the explosion could be found,
but a number of pieces OF tin, which nobody
could account for, were picked up in a tene-
ment opposite the brewery. The shock upset
stove in tenement block away and a
small fire resulted, which was soon controlled
by the firemen. The explosion occurred just
as the brewery was closing up, and Mr.. Ste
venson and his employs think they had a
lucky escape. There was boycott on Ste
venson's ale for long time, due to the allie
cations that non-union wa ses were being paid,
but Stevenson's own mer did not join in it,
and stuck by him until the boycott was de-
clared unjust and was removed. Whether
these facts have any connection with the ex-
plosion is not known.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 9-Patrick Egan in
conversation yesterday regarding the testi-
mony of Beech before the Parnell commits
sion Thursday said: 81 met Beech in Paris
in the early part Of 1881, under the name of
DR.. lie Caron. Having letters of introduc-
ton to me from some acquaintance on this
side, | treated him kindly, but there was no
special confidence between us whatsoever
He told me then that he was a native of
France, that his family had emigrated to
America when he was quite young, but that
he had gone back and studied medicine il
Paris and then settled in America He GER
tainly spoke French like native and had all
the appearance of Frenchman. Under
those circumstances, it is not probable-if
even had such condolences to give-that
would have entrusted them to a comparative
stranger, and as TO Mr.. Parnell having talked
to this man in the way he described, the idea
is simply ridiculous.
81 met LIE Caron in America on three or
four occasions, but our meetings were entire
ly casual 1t seems to me that his ev idence is
made up of about per cent. of truth and 95
per cent. of fiction He made one important
admission. He said he had only received a
portion of his pay from the English govern
ment, and, of course, the payment of the
other, and no doubt more important portion,
would he contingent upon the completeness
of the case he would be able to make as a
witness.
During the civil war in America England
had her spies in the Union army so that she
might have information to enable her to Grip
pie the north at some critical moment by
extending recognition to the Confederacy,
and from all can learn have reason to be-
lieve that Beach was one Of those employed
by England on that service"

half Of the reduction Of S25 0O0, 600 effected
by the changes in the sugar schedules is wiped
out by changes in other tariff schedules,
which in themselves would result in consid-
cradle increase in the revenue. This would
leave the net reduction of revenue about
