FOR THE ADMINISTRATION

Position of Secretary of State
Soon Alter the Election,

BALTIMORE, Feb, l2,-Colonel Julian
Allen, Of statesville, N, O., who has
been in the city for several days in the
interest OF the Southern Exposition
that will be heldthe coming fall in some
Northern city, to-day told a reporter Of
the american that while in Washington
recently he had an extended interview
with Mr., James G, Blaine, who
Is an intimate friend OF some
years standing, He explained to Mr.,
Blaine the Exposition project, and Mr..
Blaine at once expressed, in the most
cordial way, his interest in it and his
willingness to do anything in his power
TO help II forward, He also took occa-
sion to express his deep interest
in the development of the South
and his earnest hope OF the settlement
OF the race problem in q way that will
inure TO the best interests of the whole
people. The South, he said, would have
to work out the solution OF tho race
problem for itself, In the appoint
ment Of federal officials for the Southern
States, Mr.. Blaine led Colonel Allen to
think that he would favor the appoint
ment OF conservative Republicans-men
who had laid aside tho hatred
and bitterness OF war times, and who
were aiming at the development Of the
country and the happiness and welfare
Of the people. He convinced Colonel
Allen that when he took his seat in
President Harrison's cabinet he would
prove us good friend OF the South as
that portion Of the country ever had.
Mr.. Blaine also spoke with freedom
about his acceptance Of the position OF
Secretary Of State in General Harrison's
cabinet, and said that President Harri.
son rendered him the position few
days alter the election, and did 1t in such
a cordial way that he at once accepted 1t
in the same spirit.

THE pARNELL INVESTIGATION.


La Caron Gives 1IOre Sensational Testimony
In the Times Case.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-The cross.examina.
tion Of LIE Caron, the witness for the
Times, was continued upon the resump.
ton OF the sitting Of the Parnell commits
sion to-day. He said he had visited
Europe five times since 1867, sometimes
in professional capacity and sometimes
unprotessionally. He reported himself
to the authorities on each occasion ex-
cept in 1867. Neither Mr.. o'Kelly nor
Mr.. Parnell had ever written to him.
Tho Fenians expelled Mr.. O'Kelly, wit
ness said, because he had Joined with
Parnell in the open movement, O'Leary
denounced Mr.. Kelly. Witness believed
that o'Leary was a violent opponent Of
the League.
Continuing, witness said he delivered
sealed packets from Messrs. Devoy and
O'Leary to Mr.. Egan in Paris In 1881,
and acknowledged that the security OF
the seals alone prevented him from
opening the packets. He again saw Mr..
Egan In America In 1883. Later Mr..
Egan introduced him to Mr.. Parnell in
the lobby OF the House Of Commons.
He Conversed with Mr.. Parnell and was
complimented by him on his work. The
Irish Republican Brotherhood was then
opposing Mr.. Parnell 80 far as the home
organization was concerned. Mr.. Par
nell complained Of this opposition,
and said that the home and sis.
ter organizations would have been
crippled had they not obtained assistance
from America. AtMr. Parnell's request
the witness saw Devoy and Sullivan and
two others in America. Ho did not
write the result Of his conversations
with these men To Mr.. Parnell, because
he had not been requested 10. Moreover,
Egan had instructed witness to write 10
him. Witness conversations with Par.
pell had no reference to Egan. Tho
most important part OF Mr.. Parnell's
conversation concerned his views as u
revolutionist. He declared that he did
not sec why an insurreCtion should bo
unsuccessful. Witness had heard this
before from Egan, but coming from Mr..
Parnell II startled him.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the
Parnellites, and Sir Henry James, coun.
sci for the Times, here announced TINT
they had agreed not TO produce the doc.
uments, which were the subject Of dis.
Cussion on Friday last, The government
paid witness 1000 pounds between Fob
ruary, 1903, and August, 1870. Hespent
every cent Of this for public purposes.
For Instance, he took John O'NeiIs !.

ton and to keep him from bGCom.
ing a dciaulter. This action gave
witness strong hold upon 0'Neil.
He had spent more than he had
received in the public service. He had
made no arrangements for future reward.

knowingly supported the dynamite

LONDON, Feb. l2.-The belief Of the
Dundee authorities that they have cap,

One OF these rumors which come from
indeRnable sources, has batlled the re-
searches OF the London reporters for the

for obstructing inquiry and refusing in.

the newspaper men for spelling one OF
the best detective joIs of the century,
1t has been asserted by several report
ers that woman has been kept in close
quarters for two days who came near
being the prey Of some Gend, possibly
the veritable Jack the Ripper. In spite
OF the efforts Uf the POLICE to'keep the
circumstances from the public the matter
leaked out, and the representatives OF
the press demanded further,information
concerning it. The police stoutly denied
that any such event had occurred, and
each party is naturally exasperated at
the persistence OF the other, The wo.

ton OF her assailant. There has not
been OF late very cordial feeling be-
tween the authorities and the reporters,

to greater enterprise on the part OF the
latter, and the heads Of the police
heartily detest the increasing inquisi-
tiyeness OF the writer's for the journals
which have been so bold as to depart
from the soberroutine Of English news.
paperdom.
Since the removal OF Charles Warren
the force have felt that they should do
something to justify tho Clamor for his
dismissal, In which they were as active
rs they dared to be. They have never
given up the search for the perpetrator
OF the WhiteChapel murders, and the
more the matter faded from public no.
tice and ceased to DO the topic Of con-
versation in the slums, the better satis-
fled they were and the more active have
been their endeavors 10 penetrate the
mystery. There Is reason to believe
that the intermittent stories OF real or
attempted outrages OF u similar Charac.
ter In various parts OF the world since
the latest East London horror were
really put in circulation by Scotland
Yard detectives, presumably with the
strategical idea, which cannot fail to
awaken admiration for its brillianCy, Of
lulling to sleep tho vigilance OF the real
monster and tempting him to add an-

nuity OF the inspectors here it reflects

God to protect them from a few colored
women in the South.
In retaliation Of the charge that Smalls
had been unpopular in his district, he
quoted from tho record to show that

Their Bold Performance in ChIcago-A
Lady Robbed on tho Public Streets.
CHICAGO, Feb, 12.-Ilighwaymen have
been exceedingly bold in the operations
in this city of late. Their attention has
principally been devoted to ladies re.
turning home from work or shopping,
several having been "held up on side
streets and robbed, within few weeks.
The boldest case which has yet come 10
public notice, occurred last evening, on
a public street on the south side. A
Mrs. Garrison, residing on East Harrison
street, near Wabash avenue, when on
her way home at $3.50 p. IN, was stopped
by two men few feet from the door Of
her residence. One Of the assailants
caught her by tho throat and tried To
wrench her handbag from her grasp.
She held on, and, falling to break her
hold, he threw her to the sidewalk, and
struggle ensued. The lady screamed
for aid, but while many people were in
the neighborhood, none went to her as.
sistanCe. The thieves finally secured
the satchel and fed. Mrs. Garrison was
badly bruised and greatly frightened.

Leary, who commanded tho United

and to whose prompt action is ascribed
the failure Of the Germans to make open
war on the natives, until after his de-
parIure from the islands, has learned
since his arrival in San Francisco, that
important letters were addressed to him
by Rear Admiral Kimberly ana by the
State Department, which failed to reach
him, but that other mail matter sent at
the same time, and one ordering him to
cruise in other waters did reach him,
He Is now iustitutiDg MI inquiry as to
the failure to receive his mails. The
postotliCe at Apia Is in the hands OF tho
Germans and all mail matter, whether
addressed to officials or to private par
ties, is handled by them, The mails are
carried from here by Oceanic steamers
and are dropped at the island Of Tutuila,
where they arc taken on board by 4
German schooner for Apia sixty miles
distance. An American. man.of.war
took all official mail from Apia to meet
the steamer Tutuila on her way to Sun
Francisco, to guard against any delay or
with the mails. In order to
prevent the possibility Of tho Germans
with the mails, Al the request
Of Americans on the islands, many Of
the letters which went on the steamship
Alemeda, werO enclosed in envelopes,
addressed to tho American Consul, in
the expectation that the man.oi-war
would meet the steamer at Tutuila. As
has frequently been made that
