MBssRS. DILLON AND O'BRIEN regret1uily
announce the failure Of the negotiations Tor
a settlement of the difficulties between the
Psrnell and Mccarthy factions of the Irish
oarty. O'Brien saws ''that no difficulty has
existed which little more sacrifice OF per.
sopal feelings on both sides might not have
surmounted." ON the main points commended
far nm both sides a substantial agreement
was established, but the settlement was
"sb,pwrecked at the last moment by mere
contests of words and phrases" and deplor-
Sns the consequences so appalling" the me-
dlasors will return to Ireland and serve
their terms in prison with the hope that az
forwards with freedom of action, they may
accomplish more. Just what the negotiat ions

AN.ce Way to Get at the Truth.

THERE Is a singular performance going on
10 Washington. The government has tnstf
tuted an inquiry as to the cause Of the recent
outbreak and the Indian Bureau is conduct
ing 1t Its agents have been charged with the
commission of serious offenses against both
the government and the Indians. President
Harrison who ordered the investigation, has
asserted that he does not believe these
charges. Secretary Noble has expressed
himself to the same effect still more vigor-
ously. Commissioner Morgan, the chief of
the accused. Is bearing the complaints made
by the Indians against himself and bis sub
ordinates. The accused are sternly sitting
IN judgment on their accusers, and the wit
Lesses are Indians who have been selected by
the agents. 1t IL admitted that the army Of
ficers W no have suffered with the Indians on
account of the peculatioas and other
dishonesties of the agents, are the only
disin,erested white men who have any
know ledge of the difficulty and its causes.
Moreover. they are perfectly competent TO
give sound opinion as to what course will
be likely to lead to reforms. And yet not
only have no army officers been asked for an
opinion hut from Gen. Miles down tbes have
been kept away from the Indians, while the
president, Secretary Noble and whole brood
Of Indian agents have discredlted them.

THE highest railroad officials in the state
are convinced that any one who should ten
der free pass to one of our judges would
receive q severe rebuke for his pains. Why
so. Because our ju iges would resent such
an attempt to influence the court. That is
the Massachusetts, standard, though a lower
one may prevail 10 some other states
[Spring6eld Republican.
A lower one has prevailed In Vermont
when judges have actually been known to go
or write to railroad officials for renewal Of
passes, and that at the verv time that these
same railroads had important litigation be-
fore these very same judges. But we believe
1t can truly be said that better era Is on
Vermont In this respect. There are some n
mot ali of our Judges who now refuse to &C
cent free passes and all are growing to re.
slizatiou OF the disgrsce and degradation of
the t5ing.

NEWS FLASHES.
Gen. Sherman Still Living.

So bad turn for the worse had Gen.
Sherman's attack of erysipelas taken that he
was believed all day yesterday to be dying.
But the old hero still holds on 10 life.
and he rested quite well last night. At
IL O'Clock Gen. Sherman got ont of bed and
walked half across the room without assist
ance. He could not speak, but appeared to
recognize those in the room. The general
had to be helped back to bed. He was very
much exhausted. AT midnight the family of
the general were taking little needed rest.
At l O'Clock a. m. 1t was stated that Gen.
Sherman appeared to be asleep. His breath
ing indicated that his lungs were filled with
mucus. DR.. Alexander thought the ervsipeias
was leaving his patient, but the general had
not improved.
A dastardly plot is reported from Chicago.
where Secretary Gibson of the Whiskey trust
has been arrested. He offered Dewar,
United States official $4,000 to destroy
Sbufeldt's distillery with dynamite and had
the internal machine and discriminating corre-

and $50 others would have been killed, thus

Aid. Bradish Likens Aid. Hunter
to an ASS and a Jack Rabbit.

The Rollins committee resumed its in
vestigation of the breakage of the North
side pumps yesterday morning. and the
session was all exceedingly lively one.
Every member of the committee was
present and Assistant Engineer Hall
was recalled to the stand.
Aid. Hunter, as usual, opened the
ball. and proceeded to question Mr..
Hall in relation to the test of the pumps.
1t was developed that at the test of
the pumps three of the boilers were
used, while since that time only two
had been used to run the pumps. Wit
ness said that two boilers at the test had
been used for the pumps, and the other
for the feed and air pumps and the
steam jacket of the engine which was
standing still.
If no deductions were made, this con-
nectiOn with the third boiler would help
the test.
Aid. Bradish appeared to be possessed
of an idea that the engineers at the
pumping station were at loggerheadS,
and tried to bring out this fact by cues
tioning Mr.. Hall, while Aid. Hunter
objected. as usual, and tried to sit upon
him. Mr.. Bradish, however, continued,
and elected from Hall the statement
that Engineer Bergstrom was not i'll the
habit of finding fault, but thai there
was on one occasion slight disagree
ment about starting the pumps.
what was the tr0uble?' asked Aid.

AFTER THE CAMS.
The Grand Jury Investigating the
Gambling Charges.

OOHuUIIUR CIldfScS.
There Is no longer any doubt that the
grand jury is probing into the gambling
business which was carried on in this
city until the recent closing orders
were issued by Mayor Winston. The
crowd that gathered in the cor
ridOrs of the court house yes
terdar betokened the fact that
the gambling investigation was OIL
sure enough. Supt. Henderson, the
city detectives, several police officers
and several evening reporters who pre-
tend to know all about the gambling
denS wers conspicuous figures in the
crowd. Thomas Taylor Drill and Ed
A. Stevens were also conspicuous
fgures-they were there to tell the
grand jury what they knew about the
inside of gambling houses from personal
observation. Minor business from the
municipal court occupied the time of
the jury until noon, and therefore the
gambling issue was not reached until 2
O'Clock. AT that hour Chief Henderson
was called into the jury room and every
one in the big crowd knew that the
gambling investigation had begun. The
chief must have been an interesting
witness because he was kept in the jury
room until o'clock. When he came
out thousand questions were fired at
him by the anxious crowd, but he
turned deaf ear to all inquiries.
No effort is being made % indict the
individual gamblers who have been
known to frequent the local dens. 1t is
the purpose of the jury to ascert tain who
were the real prOprietOrs of the gam
bling houses, and indict only them.
