MORE REVELATIONS
About the Dynamite Conspiracy
Made by Davitt.
TAMPERING WITH THE MAILS
Some Serious Charges Against the British
Consul General Bribing New York Post
Office Employee to Open Letters.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable
LONDON, Oct. 9-Mr. Davitt continues
his revelations in the Labor World. He
reiterates his assertion that Mr. Hoare,
the British consul general in New York,
did in 1888 send James McDermott from
New York to Montreal for the purpose OF
getting up a dynamite agitation in that city
and supplied him with money and means
to carry out his purpose. Mr.. Davitt goes
on to say:
"We further charge Mr.. Hoare with
enter the postoffice in New York in order
to tamper with letters going through that
postoffice, and that through Mr. Hoara's
influence with federal post official named
Newcombe O'Brien who had charge of the
keys and stamps which enabled him to
open what boxes he pleased in the building
and use the date stamps of the department
for the purpose of the British secret
service.
ave can prove that O'Brien opened let
| tiers by the score and wrote letters To Irish
men in New York, which purported 10
come from Eenians and dynamiters in Cali
fornia, ST. Louis and Chicago and that he
stamped these bogus letters so as TO make
their recipients b,lieve they were commu-
nicatons which came through the post
Office.
ave say that all this was done by Mr.,
Hoares direct and explicit instructions, and
charge that this fragrant outrage upon the
law of the state of New York and the fed
eral authority of the United States was
performed by Mr.. Hoare's instructions and
| by the aid OF the secret-service fund OF
England. We are prepared to prove that
the beginning and the end of the Cork, Lily
erpool and London dynamite conspircies of
1858, was James McDermotJ, and the money
expended by him for the purchase Of nitro
glycerine was given to him for that pur-
pose from the secret fund.
"Several men are now undergoing the
terrible fate of penal seryitude, not because
OF actual deeds done, but because an agent
of Dublin castle put dynamite and docu-
ments in their hands, which were accepted
as proofs of their guilt by Judge and jury
We demand in the name of justice and fail
play that these men be released
Mr.. Davitt then proceeds to give in ex
tense a letter which McDermott, on thesevt

DUBLIN, Oct. 9.-The hearing against the
police for the assaults upon number of
persons at the court house in Tipperary on
Dillon and O'Brien, commenced in that
place to-day. Timothy Healy opened the
case for Harrison, member of the house of
commons, who was severely injured.
Healy declared that on the occasion in
question for every adult in the crowd there
were four armed policemen. He told of
the assault on Harrison. The latter then
took the stand and testified that there were
more than fifty civilians outside the court
house when he arrived, while there was a
large force of policemen on each side of
the gates. The policemen used great and
unnecessary violence. Colonel Caddell ad-
dressed the police saying something to the
effect that they must go in out of that
and not make disturbance. This com-
mand not being obeyed. witness asked
the policemen why they disobeyed orders.
Then the assault was made upon him.
During the disturbances he saw d con-
stable strike and fell O'Sheehy. The
civilians threw no stones aud struck no
blows except in pairing the blows from the
policemen's bators.
In opening the case, Heaiey asked that the
ordinary justices be replaced by five resi-
dent magistrates Of the bench. The appli-
cationwas refused.
While p. OBrien was giving evidence,
Healey questioned him regarding the pho
tographs he had taken. The presiding
magistrate ruled this was irrelevant. An
animated discussion ensued, at the end OF
which Healey told O'Bren t, leave the
witness box. All of the complainants and
their friends left the court room, and after
the refusal of request to adjourn On ac-
count of the constitution of the bench, the
summons were withdrawn.

LOGAN County Seat WAR. Idaho.

BELLEVUE, Ida, Oct. Especial tele
gram to THE ERALD,J-Chief Justice
Beatty has issued temporary restraining
order in regard to the removal Of the county
seat of Logan county from Shoshone to
Bellevue. In last Wednesdays election
Bellevue carried the day by majority of
294 against its rival Shoshone. The latter
town is now kicking against the pricks and
grasping at constitutional straws. The
constitution provides that the county seat
shall not be removed unless on petition to
be presented to the county commissioners
signed by majority Of the voters of the
county. In that case they shall submit the
question to the people. In case they give a
two-thirds majority the county seat shall
be removed. That looks very plain, but
when the constitution is read carefully it
says that no county seat shall be removed
except as provided by existing laws unless
the petition, and so on, be presented.
The existing law in Logan county's case
is the division bill creating the county. 1t
provided plainly that the question of the
location of the county seat should be sub
united at the next general election. That
was had last Wednesday, and Bellevue won
by an incontestable majority. Shoshone
never has been the county seat; it has only
been the temporary county seat and the
people at the election of October l, decided
that it should be at Bellevue.
The people of this city view the outcome
of the litigation inaugurated by the Sho
shone people with perfect composure, as il
has been expected. Bellevue made the
fight for the organization of Logan county
in its infancy, when the county had no de-
flanders but Bellevue, while Shoshone was
non conmittal, it put up nothing, but it was
willing to reap the benefit of Bellevue's
enterprise. Bellevue is still up to snuff and
without doubt will get its heritage. The
restraining order is returnable on the 22G
instant.

AN INTERESTING HYPOTHESIS.
Prof. Pickering. of Harvard, Speaks of the
Planet Mars and It's Condition.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
BosToS, Oct 9.-Prof w. H. Pickering
of Harvard college, has for something like
a year been devotlng great portion of his
time to observation of the planet Mars.
Prof. Pickering used in hi sobservation TIE
12-inch telescope which is soon to be
mounted at the Arequipa station of Harvard
observatory. at is all hypothesis, after
all, - he said There is no definite proof.
We know there are great patches of white
in the polar regions OF the planet, and that
they increase in winter and diminish in
summer This fact is abundantly con-
trmed by the photographs taken by Har
ward college, astronomers at our station on
Mount Wilson in southern California. On
the night of the 10th of April we took an
observation and on the succeeding night
| another one. On the second occasion we
| found that the white space IN the southern
| hemisphere had increased during twenty
| four hours by an area nearly as large as the
| United States. So, you see, ii this white
appearance is due to snow there must have
been tremendous storm in southern Mars
on the 10Th of April
| Prof. Pickering said the southern half
of the planet was more interesting than
the northern hemisphere. 1t is in that
section that the DARK places are located
which are supposed to be water. The
1 planet, in his opinion, being older than the
earth as well as smaller, has passed the
stage in which the earth now is and is APP
preaching the condition of the moon, in
other words, is dying.
'.How near did you bring marsP' was
asked.
"Within about one hundred thousand
miles by using the high powers was the
reply But better results are obtained
by employing less power for with the high
powers the irregular motions Of the at
mosphere and impeffection Of the instru
ment interfere
"Well them the correspondent said,
''the sum of il all is that M. Flammarion
asserts what is expected 10 be proven and
then falls on PORT. Holden to back hin
up"
well, you might put it that way There
certainly is nothing but hypothesis, and
doubt il Prof. Holden or any other obser
yer would care to make any more definite
statements.
