the chief Of Secretaral and the Judicial Depart

should receive three-fourths OF the indemnity 10
which he is entitled that the thus discharged classes
WILL however, be employed as temporary officers
until the Paris Office shall have given instructions.
The right of the employees to be sent back to France
is expressly reserved and the months delay fixed by
Article XII of the regulations will only be counted
hom the date on which each employe will cease 10
act In a temporary capacity. Should the company
not be able TO pay fto passages back 10 France OF

they will not be able 10 make claim for any sum

No reply from Mr.. Moore to Mr.. Putnam, touch

ulanation of Mr.. Putnam's attitude or of the
avowal of the hopes which he and his friends
seem to entertain of ultimately handing over the
making of American books to English printers,
type-founders and other British artisans, and Brit
ish capitalists The Athenaeum,' however, has
a peculiarly British paragraph in con-
nection with the issue of an American
copyright edition of Professor B:yce's American
Commonwealth. Certain Members of Congress,
says this journal, resent paying for an English
book the price they would have to pay for an
American book, and viii oppose international copy
right for this reason, their contention being that
stolen or appropriated goods cheapest. and such
a contention cannot be disputed Thus is the kind
of language which is supposed to promote the pas
sage of the pending bill
Motley's Correspondence, of which reviews ap-
pear in several London papers, excites that kind
of interest which always belongs to portraits
drawn by one eminent man Of other eminent men
Letter writing had not died out in Motley's time.
He took pains wrote as if for print, but without
stiffness; did not assume that everything had ap-
peared in the newspapers; had great opportuni-
ties and used them. He saw as much OF London
life as any man, knew everybody, and was himself
both when American Minister and before and after
a central figure in English society He describes
scenes and people with equal animation. HIS
style is even better in correspondence than In
history-lnofe fluent easy and picturesque. Letters
to Motley are given. notably from Prince Bis
marck, whose friendship with his American fellow
student at Gottingcn closer than most people
had suspected. Altogether it is book Of ex-
treme interest and value. G.. w. ).

TIE ExPL0SI0N AT WESLEYAN
CONFESSIONS MADE BY THE PARTICIPANTS IN
THE AFFAIR

THE AFFAIR.
Mlddletown, Conn, Feb 23.-An tho mystery sur
rounding the dynamite affair at Wesleyan University
has been dspelled by the confessions Of the partie
pants. Up 10 a few days ago there had been pre-
concerted plan TO fire the usual salute February %
After q talk before the students by Professor Van
Week, this plan seemingly fell through Hubbard
who is the victim of the explosion refused to have
anything to do with firing the cannon, but advised thu
firing Of bombs. E. H. TackaberTy, resident Of New
York City, and a member OF the freshman class, vol
unteered TO telegraph to his father in NewYork TO send
him six bombs. He, however, got some one to send
the telegram for him His father procured the bombs
and sent them to Mlddletovn by the train W. j.
Hal and Tsckabcrry distributed the bombs to several
members Of the freshman class. One was given to
H. g. Roosby to explode in Observatory Hall, another
TO r Z. Smith TO explode In North College, and
another through intermediate persons. to Hubbard
As Hubbard had company in his room that evening
until IL 80, the person to whom the bomb had been
given failed to deliver it unt nearly midnight hean-
while Hubbard had become somewhat falnt-hearted In
the atser and at the solicitations OF some OF
the members Of his society, those who were In the
secret promised not 10 fire the bombs. Smith and
Rooksby exploded their bombs with disastrous effects
70 the buildings as they have since admitted to the
authorities 1t Is supposed that Hubbard, hearing
these reports Immediately ventUred out 20 explode his
homb Probably he ignlted the fuse and the explosion
was so instantaneous that he did not have chance 10
drop H. At any rate he was terribly lacerated oy tne
sxnfosion So much was learned to-day by the con-
fessions OF Hall and Smith. Tho parties implicated
nil nrobably be subjected TO severe college discipline
hnt an account of Hubbards own participation IL is
bsry probable that the State authorities will take the
u,atte
