WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-Secretary Blaine

He was only waiting to see how his
efforts at negotiating reciprocity agree

he hopes TO use it as lever bring all the

He took Brazil first, as being, for many
reasons, most Ii ely to yield, and as being.

To get Spaiu's consent for Cuba might

AViLLAlNOUS PLOT.

CHICAGO. Feb 1l.-George j. Gibson,
secretary of the whisky trust, was arrest
ed this morning charged with an attempt
TO bribe an official of the government
named DeWare. The sensational feature
of the arrest was the finding of a letter in
Gibeon's possession showing that Schu-
Eel Is Great distillery, which is fighting
tue rust, was to have been blown up
Gibson, by degrees, led Gauger DeWare
up 10 the proposition to destroy the place
He told DeWare that, as he had access to
the establishment, he could easily place a
dynamite machine under the big tanks,
fire the fuse, and escape.
He was told that he would be given
so 600 and could make S25,0OO by doing
the Job As "A matter of fact he nature
of the machine is such that had DeWare
entered the plot. not only his life, but the
lives of every one employed in the build
ing would have been sacrificed. Gibson
paid many visits to Chicago, and at last
the details OF the plot were perfected. The
machine was prepared and secreted in the
city, and Gibson had evidently come here
today To arrange the final details De-
Ware, il seems. carried out his part so
nicely that Gibson had not the slightest
suspicion that DeWare was anything but
an accomplice
PEORIA. Feb. 1.-THE arrest of George

than Hostettr's Stomach BItters, which

THE PARNELI FIGHT.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE negotiations
which have been conducted by MeSSrS.
Dillon. Mccarthy O'Brien and Parnell
for a settlement Of the differences between
the two factions of the irish party failed
10 effect a reconciliation or agreement.
Mr. O'Brien has is ued an address to the
public in which he says that the negotia-
tions were defeated by mere contests of
words and phrases: contests which with a
little more magnamity and less suspicion
on both sides might easily be arranged,
and which, to his mind, offer a shockingly
inadequate excuse for committing the
country to a struggle involving cOnse-
quences so appalling The irreconcilables,
saws Mr. O'B-ien, have car led the day
Mr. Dillon and himself, be says, cannot
longer stand between them and thei de-
plorable work They can do nothing
more, he says, Sill they have recovered
freedom Of action by getting through with
the sentence standing against them.
In nm interview today Mr. Parnell de-
clared that he would not recede from his
position. which, he said, was consistent
He would not submit to the dictation of
Mr.. Gladstone and the priests
1t is sta ed that Mr.. Parnell is incensed
over the Catholic primate's action in hav-
ing pastOrpl letter read in the Irish
churches on Sunday last condemning Mr.
ParnelPs conduct. and this was partly the
cause of the rupture between the Irish
factions
LoNDoE, Feb. 11.-Mr. Parnell has writ
ten 10 Mr.. O'Brien as follows:
''The last information Mr.. Gill conveyed
70 me on our negotiations being of "A final
character. / conclude that nothing is left
to be done on my part but 10 bring our en-
deavors to a close. / regret that it has not
been rendered possible TO consider national
interests so safe guarded that l could feel
that there would be no danger TO the
cause, in my now surrendering the respon-
sibility which has been placed upon me,
and which / have wrested from the hands
of the enemies of our nation and race. |
have been ready TO act up to the letter and
spirit of an understanding to the last
moment, and regret that no course is left
but TO withdraw all our negotiations"
