CINCINNATI, August 31.-Detectives
arrived from Cleveland this morning
with James Anderson, the widely known
prisoner whose sensational arrest, and
still more sensational escape from Ham
ilton county jail has given him promi-
nence. Anderson was suspected OF be-
ing burglar. His house on Price Hill
was watched, and one night an attempt
was made to capture him and confed-
crate. Anderson and the policemen both
used reyolVers, The confederate escaped,
Anderson was shot in the leg and sent
to iail to await trial. Six weeks ago he
escaped. Every effort was made to
show that he had broken jail, but IL
was discovered that he had been lioer-
ted by money and four jail officials dis
charged. Chief of police Deitsch,
knowing that Anderson was passionate
ly fond Of his wife and babies, has kept
a close watch on them. When they
went to Cleveland Saturday night he
caused q detective to follow, and
when Anderson met his fami-
ly he was arrested. Anderson
declares he will not betray his liberia
tors in the jail, though he does not
deny that he bought his freedom. lie
says the proposition was made to him
and he accepted it. He will be re-
turned to jail. 1t is probable that ne
may again buy his liberty, not with
money, but with information leading tc
the conviction of the men who were
bribed TO allow him to escape.

LONDON, August 31.-Tbe Grace Pc
ruvian interests in England have been
greatly strengthened by the news from
Chilli, as the English bondholders hope

the dominant party In Chill is sure to

view Of the PROSTATE condition OF the
latter country, not yet recovered from
the disastrous war which resulted In the

1t was feared by the English parties
interested that, in the event of Balma-

vast and profitable nitrate business to
Americans, to the detriment OF Euro
peans, thus causing loss OF several
millions year to England. All this
now being set aside, the consequent re-

auDe WIN otaTAAAAA WIFE,
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, August 3i.--The
Star says: II transpired during the re-
cent State meeting Of the Farmers Al
lance at Warrensburg, No., that there
was an organization within the ALI
ances, which believed In force as q
measure TO attain the objects OF the
Alliance. 1t was the knowledge OF the
existence of this "force element" that
defeated the sub-treasnrY resolution
which was championed especially by the
latter element. When those delegates
who favored the sub-treasury reso-
luton, continues the Star, voted
against it simply because they
desired to defeat the force party the
force party had forty-eight delegates
in the convention. One OF them told a
reporter about the organization and
said: "If the the minority will not do
what the majority Wills" said the gen.
tleman excitedly, ''it is high time for
the majority to hang the minority. Ii
ballots won't do the business bullets
will, and there are lot OF US pledged
to 90 that far"
Ex-President Hale, who asserts that
his life has been decliRed a forfeit In
the underground meetings OF these
people, was and is keenly alive to this
existence. Before the meeting at Per-
tie Springs he sent out letter dated
August IA, to every delegate he could
trust, telling him the facts and exhort-
ing him to be at the conven-
ton ready to crush out the
influence of these Socialists, as
he called them, in the Alliance.
This letter was kept most profoundly
secret than anything else that trans
pired, and its existence did not come te
the surface until late Saturday might

This secret order calls itself the anti

Not Accept the Conditions.
ROME, August 31.-It is asserted that
ex-Premier Crispi will presently publish
documents intended to demonstrate
that France desired to have the Pope
leave Rome In 1889. 1t is learned at the
Vatican that any such statements would
be quite without foundation, and that
consequently in case Signor Crispi
should make it he would be proved to
have been misinformed. 1t is a fact
that the Pope did in 1889 form the in
tention of leaving Rome. His first icea
was to go to Spain, but when he con-
sidered that he would be in compare
tive isolation In so remote q
country, he abandoned that idea and
entered into negotiations with the
Prince of Monaco, the situation of
whose territory offered easy and con-
venient access to all visitors and all
Catholics The old Prince sent as Am
bassador to Rome, the Bishop OF Mon
AGO, Monsignor Theurel, who fully en-
joyed his confidence. Complete ar
rangements were made. the apartments
for the Pope were designated when a
letter of extreme Importance was
received from the Prince,
making certain conditions rela-
tive to the sojourn Of the Pope. One
condition was the gambling should be
allowed to continue without Interrupt
tion. The conditions were such that the
Pope could not accept, and a represen-
tative was dispatched to Monaco with
the hope of securing some compromise,
but the plan fell through. But France
had nothing whatever to do with the
matter. Signor Crlspi had his suspi
cions that something was going on, but
he did not succeed in getting correct
idea of what IL was.
