Used to Inveigle Gibson to Chicseo-Au-
u .thorities Hayc Proof. II -.
CHICAGO. Feb. 12.-It developed to-day
that ii was about Jan. 10 when Gibson de-
livered the explosive to Dewar and Gibson
and he daily had been expecting news Of
the carrying out of the plot. Since the 10th
Gibson had written several letters to Dewar
and sent him several kilograms. All Of
these are in the possession of the authori-
ties. OF these Solicitor Hart says: He
frequently admonishes Dowar he is not US
ing the dispatch he ought to in the matter.
Last Monday the department dictated q
decoy letter to Gibson, having Dewar write
it. The letter was to the effect that he
(Dewar) had made several attempts to
carry out the plot, but had failed on account
of the liquid. He said he thought
it had lost its virtue. He instructed
Gitson to come to Chicago Wednesday an d
bring new bottle of the stuff. He also
told him to bring evidence that he intended
to pay him for the job. Gibson answered
by telegram that he olld como to Chicago
Wednesday morning. He did 80 and was
arrested" The contents of his grip were
shirt, few collars. a bottle of liquid and
100 shares Of whisky trust stock assigned to
Dewar. " was part Of the deal to pay
Dewar with stock, and he evidently brought
the bonds to show Dewar and spur him on
to the deed.

Harrison Thought the Matter Over Before
the Association snggested It,
BosroN, Feb. 12.-The Cambridge Civil
Service Reform association received from
the president reply to their address of
Jan. 81, in which the president says:
'Your reference to the recent outbreak
among the Sioux as affording a convincing
evidence of the necessity OF q change in the
manner of appointing officials of the In
dian bureau, leads me to say that 1 have
not found, in full examination of all the
facts, evidence of any deterioration in the
Indian service. On the other hand, the
board Of Indian commissioners. through
Chairman Gates, have, as result Of close
observation, declared to me. under date OF
Jan. 10, last. that, upon the whole, the In
dian service 10 now in better condition than
ever before.'
The object Of their communication wa
to urge tine extension Of civil seryics rules
to the Indian service. but they were careful
to recognize that argument WAS not to be
found in any special or recent incident, but
in the broader fact that the work among
Indians is educational and philanthropic,
and should, therefore. be separared from
party politics. II may add that before any
special appeal had been made to me the
subject of including In dian agency clerks
and employees in th Q classified service had
been under consideration"

ASSUME A VIRTUE.

Whisky Trust Oncers HOtly Disclaim
Gibson, II He Intended Wrong.
CHICAGO, Feb. PA morning paper has
tho following telegram from Washington:
President Greenhut, Of the whisky trust,
is inclined to be skeptical about the reports
of the arrest Of Gibson, the secretary. for
conspiracy, and tole2raphed to Chicago for
facts. He knows of nothing that Gibson
ever did which would not bear the light of
day, and he thought the fuss has probably
been made over some trivial matter. He is
certain il was nothing which co lid in any
way involve the trust. whatever Gibson .
individual actions might have BEEN"
DR.. Rush, who is also connected with the
trust, thought it likely that The whole busi-
ness was a repetition Of the dynamite scare
in Shufeldfs dIstiliery some two or three
years ago, and perhaps it was the work of
somebody's imagination. Possibly Gibson
had been doing some loose talking without
meaning anything by it, but If he had been
trying TO bribe anybody to commit an un
lawful act, DR.. Rush said the officers want
ed to know it, as they did not encourage
that kind of work.

The Navajo Reservation.

Chandler, of the interior department., to-
day sent to the house letter from the COM
missioner of Indian affairs recommending
that an item be inserted in the Indian ap-
preparation bill enabling the secretary to
negotiate with the Manic Indians Of New
Mexico and Arizona for such changes in their
reservation boundaries as may be deemed
desirable. The commissioner calls atten-
tion to the fact that for more than two
years runiors have been rife of the exist
ence of rich gold and silver deposits in the
Carlo mountains, within the Navajo reser-
vation, and that the Indians have been
watching with keen apprehension the visits
made by whites to the place for the purpose
OF prospecting; also to statements in To-
cal newspaper to the effect that deter
mined purpose exists to gain possession OF

Mr.. Watterson says he did write the letter

OF how Caucus Of United States

arena, how WattersOn had been selected 40

This was 10 absurd and did such injustice
to both Hill and himself that he thought
there could be no objection on the part OF
anybody to the publication of the truth,
