DYNAMITE PLOT
OF HUNGARIANS TO BLOW UP FRl0E, THR
COKE KING,
Whom They Blame for the Shooting in the Coke
RsgiOns-MOrs Trouble With PreRzled
Women Yesterday who Resisted kyie-
tiOns-Mlitary is Called on.

PITTsBUBG, PA, April 24.-Informa-
tion was given to the police department
of this city tonight by a man named
Timmons, Of Braddock, OF a plan to
blow up II. c. Frick, the coke King,
with dynamite. TimmonS is a carpen-
ter, and has been working in Home
wood. He is obliged to pass a deep
gully on his way to work,
and yesterday discovered gang
OF twelve Hungarians busily at work
there, loading dynamite sticks. Each
Hun took two sticks and left for Brad
dock. They were seen in the place to-
night and openly declared their inten-
tion of dynamiting Frick, and started
for this city, where the gentleman lives.
The Huns are very ignorant and will
certainly fall into police clutches here
in their errand to kill the man they
blame for the coke region shooting.

The prospect OF speedy settlement

OLD WORLD NEWS.
BSGLISH CONSERVATIVES COMMITTED ON THE
SUBJECT OF FREE EDUCATION,
Which Makes the Liberals Rejoics-Englsnd's Rsp-
reservation at the Worlds Fair Depends En-
trsly on the Fair Managers-Pren-
dices to 0ysrcoms-GladstOns'
Position on the Divorce Bill.
lcopwigst by ". y associated Ppss.I

LONDON, April GA free exchange
of views among Liberals in the loooles
OF the House Of Commons to-day showed
an absolute unanimity OF congratulation
upon the fact that the Conservatives
have committed themselves TO free edu-
cation, but there was much diversity of
opinion as to how the new departure
would affect the party'S future. No
one doubts that the government has
made coupe with view to general
election.
The Conservative government dare
not attempt to Interfere with the
clergy, who now control schools in over
10, 900 parishes, nor will Mr.. Goschen
take the risk of interfering with the
control OF denominatonal schools,
already drawing over $500, 600 from the
Imperial excheQuer. According to a
highly placed informant cabinet plans
as far as stated simply involve free edu-
cation in the lower standards, assisted
education in the higher standards and
increased grants to denominational
schools.
II England is not properly represent
ed at the Chicago Fair, the responsible
ty will rest upon the Fair Managers and
not upon the English Government,
which is evincing the greatest interest
in the Fair. The Government has al
H. l.. 70 n a ha nd soma a II
preparation TO ensure full exposition
OF English products. The amount OF
the appropriation with the names of the
Commission TO look after English in
tereStS will shortly be announced in
Parliament.
James Dredge, a member OF the Fine
Arts Society, who had charge of Eng
lands exhibit in France, said to-day
I'VE are anxious to do all we can for
the fair, but we are working under diff
culties. We have no information such
as exhibitors must have before preparing
exhibits. ChicagoanS must bestir them
selves II they wish England to be freely
represented.
There are many preiudices to be
overcome. The Mckinley law is still
bugbear. All sorts Of false reports are
published concerning the Fair, quarrelS
among the Directors about sites. etc,
cables about leaning towers are spread
broadcast. Official information is neces-
sary TO counteract these canards."
MIR. Gladstone has decided to support
the divorce reform bill troduced in
Parliament by Mr.. Hunter This fact
has amazed the Liberals who believed
he would oppose any extension Of di-
vorce as matter of religious principle.
The bill entities wife to a dissolution
OF the marriage tic in the event Of
adultery or four years deSertion on the
part of the husband.

sengers were more or less bruised. En-
gineer Reilly and Fireman Swisher were

in the collision IL was caught and held in
that position. keeping up an incessant
screeching for about an hour, until the

ADAY OF EXCITEMENT
In tho Coke Regions-The Women Resist
Eviction Officers.

ScoTTDALE, PA, April 24.-There
was more excitement at the nearby
coke works to-day, as result OF the
many eyictionS, than there has beeW
for months. Deputy Crawford, with
large body of assistants and guarded by
Company &C." began throwing out
dozen families at Whites this morning,
including one In the notorious "Soup
House." This was done without any
decided opposition, except an occasional
collision with an irate female. The
evicting party then marched to Nor
gan's. attended by several hundred
strikers. At the very outskirts a Wild
eyed Hun struck Deputy Null with a
stone. This was followed by shower
OF stones from gang Of children but
no one was badly hurt by the volley.
House No. ), occupied by Michael
McErney, local leader, was soon
reached, and Company C formed circle
about it, keeping back the crowd that
now had grown to enormous proportions.
Mrs. McErney was in delicate health,
but when Deputy Dickson grabbed
chair she flew at him. when he lost his
head, drew two bulldog revolvers, and,
after calling her vile name, threat
ened to shoot. Cries OF ''shame" and
coward from guards and strikers
alike. overawed the fellow, and he SUNK
away. The woman amused herself by
humping Deputy Skyles on the ribs
with a jug, and then sat down amid her
household goods in the road and wept
contentedly. Then the deputies went
TO Summit. where II families were un-
housed without much trouble.

HORRORS OF WAR.
Atrocities Committed by Gillian Govern :
ment and Pebel Forces


PANAMA, April 24.-The following
are the latest mail advices relative to
the Chilian revolution, under date ol
March %. On the 4th Martin Larraln
arrived here. He Is the same man who
on the 4th instant saved the workmen
who were on strike in Iquique. AT
6:3O a. m. on the morning OF the Sd up
wards OF 5000 workmen collected at
the Pozo Almonte In order to proceed to
IouiQue and make formal
representation respecting the search
ty of provisions. Shortly after
they reached the works the Manager
Mr.. Johnson gave them ten barrels OF
biscuits, and 1000 tins OF preserves,
which were distributed among the stri-
kcrs. They remained there that night,
and on the following day, sent some OF
their leaders on to Negriros. There
more men were TO be collected.
Suddenly. however, a train appeared
loaded with government troops under
Martin Larrain. Without hating or
parleying these troops opened fire on
the defencelesS workmen, women and
children. Shortly atterward the forces
marched forward and killed all the
men. Meanwhile the men from the
Neeriros works, with the Commission
ers from Ramirez, returned to their
houses. otherwise they might also have
fallen victims. Some who escaped from
the slaughter took refuge in thenitrate
fields but were subsequently followed
up and killed.
After these deeds had been committed
some 500 men were arrested, and OF this
number eighteen were murdered.
The schooner Celia, which has ar
rived from Iquique, brings terrible de-
tails of the combat at Pozo Almonte be-
tween the government forces and the
rebels. 1t is stated that after the light
the soldiers, in state OF drunkenness,
violated the bodies of women who had
perished during the combat.
The number OF men who took part In
the fight at Pozo Almonte on March 7th
is estimated at 1000, and nearly three
quarters of this number were under the
orders of the government leaders. The
contest was a sanguinary one, and more
than 1000 killed and wounded
was the result. The Balmaceda
forces were routed with the
loss OF all their artillery and the great
est number of the infantry. The cav
airy which took no part in the combat
joined with the few infantry soldiers
who fled toward the west, and with the
head of BarbosoS' column arrived at the
Pampa after the action, and immediate
ly retired toward Gamma. The reyolu-
tionary army committed a number OF
atrocities, which the commanders ana
officers could not prevent. BaroosoS
Monte IS the centre OF the nitrate dis
trict, and where there were about 900
inhabitants, of whom many perished,
including women. The dispersed troops
were followed up, and the victors COM
menced to plumber the drinking shops
and provision stores.
Provisions were recently so scarce In
Iquique that $40 were paid for can OF
preserved milk, and beef sold at $40 per
pound. These prices were caused by
the port being blockaded by the rebel
Chilian squadron.
The Peruvian Consulate i daily be-
sieged by hundreds OF PeruvianS seek
ing provisions for themselves and their
families, and the means Of returning to
the North.

Mrs. Niles Gets Her Childreo, But Is For
bIdden to tut Them In Convent.



bIdden to tut Them In u Convent.
special Tsls0r0rD 10 the Register.
SPRINGFIELD, o., April 24.-The cell
ebrated kidnapped Niles children were
brought home this afternoon from How
ell, Michigan, by Detective Norris and
Mrs. Niles, who accompanied him to
Michigan. There was an affecting scene
when Mrs Niles first saw her darllngs.
She is of Spanish birth, and of
an intensely emotional disposition,
and it was feared that the
meeting would be too much
for her She was painting with excite
ment and could only press her children
TO her heart, sobbihg, my children;
my darlingS.'
When Mrs. Niles and the detective
first got to Howell the sheriff there
was afraid to surrender the children to
them without the consent OF the chill
dren'S father, fearing some complica-
tion of international law. The consent
of Dr. Niles was obtained by telegraph
last night, and the children immediate
ly surrendered. They rushed to their
mother and devoured her with kisses
when they caught sight of her. They
were at once photographed.
When they arrived this morning there
was intense curiosity to see them on the
part Of the people around the depot.
The children were hurried into n closed
carriage and driven to the Probate
Court. where they were formally sur
rendered to the custody of Mrs. Niles by
the Judge. Mrs. Niles is forbidden to
put them In q convent, and DR.. Niles
is forbidden 10 see them. Remains OF
hair dye with which the children were
disguised can still be seen on their fair
hair.
