PORTLAND, Or, March 6.-FOr some

been excited over probable develop
ments IN the Hammond case. An Eng
iish detective named Partridge, " ho is
in the employ of persons alleging TO
have been blackmaied by Hammond,
has been on this coast looking up GER
tain parties claimed to be accomplices
of Hammond. 1t was recently pub
lished in Seattle paper that Partridge
had been located in Oakland. Cal, and
an interview published to the effect
that cOnfederates have possession of
certain compromising letters which
he Partridge was detailed to secure at
any price and at all hazards. Partridge
followed his man to Australia, thence
back to California, and finally located
him there, it is supposed. \ dicker was
made and a compromise effected
wherein the blackmailerS were paid
several thousand dollars for the letters
in nquestion.a number Of which were from
noted persons in England. While at
San Francisco. Partridge met a man
named Tyrrel, who introduced himself
and stated he had been sent out from
London to aid Partridge. He produced
photograph of a letter. by which means
he said he identified him, and presented
credentials and testimonials, and by
these gained his confidence. Partridge
explained to Tyrrel how matters stood,
saying the affair had been compromised,
but still he had hopes of getting a
cinch on hammond and his gang.
While at Sacramento, or. some Central
California city. these papers, which were
kept locked up in tin box and zealOusly
guarded, mysteri0usly disappeared one
night along with the "slippely'' Tyrrel,
who was the only person who knew
what the box contained. Partridge was
in hole. and in bad shape. He came
North and notified Tacoma detective
agency, who have acted in cahoots from
the start of his fix. \ party answering
to the description of 1YIiel was seen to
leave Tacoma on March for Portland.
The Tacoma officer arrived here this
morning in pursuit. So far. he has not
found any clue of his man. The above
facts were secured from him, rs a re-
porter knew some Of the few facts in the
case, recognizing him. confronted him
with them and got the story. He said
that Partridge still lives in fear of the
American press, and emphatically in
