Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. - Deputy Coroner
jenkins made an autopsy to-day on the
head of the dynamite bomb-thrower. 1t
will take several weeks to harden the brain
sufficiently to make microscopic examina-
tion practicable.
The bomb-thTower has been identified,
but SO far his name has not been ascer-
tanned. He was a rampant anarchist and
believed to have hailed from San Francisco.
In conversation in this city few weeks
ago, the bomb -thrower said he had been ar
rested for making incendiary speeches in
San Francisco.
Captain Henry Horne, museum lecturer,
has identified the head of the bomb-thrower
as that Of man who had a conversation
with him about two weeks ago. The man,
whose name he has forgotten, wanted
Horne to go out lecturing on monopolies,
raih Dads and sOcialistic topics. Horne says
all the man told him was that he was going
TO invite all the capitalists like Gould and
Sage, and II they did not come to hear
Horne he would write them once again, and
If they still ignored the request he would
blow them all up.
Captain Horne gave to Inspector Byrnes
a card which the bomb-thrower sent him.
On 1t was written: Captain Harry Horne
L called, but failed to see you this after
noon, Wednesday, October 2lst. Would
you please write me where you are stopping
and when L can see you there. and oblige

Inspector Byrnes sent the following to
Chief Of Police Crowley of San Francisco: /:
Has there been any person arrested in your
city in the past two years for making incen-
diary speeches on the subjects of capital
Ism, anarchism and the Government control
of railroads? If SO, wire me his name, age,
description and date of arrest, together with
any particulars you may have relative to
the matter. Answer as soon as possible"
No answer was received tonight.
William ID. Tyler Of Tacoma, Wash,
called at the Morgue this afternoon and
viewed the dead mans face. The visitor
Thought the face bore striking resemblance
to that OF man named Wilson, who was at
one time business manager OF the Tacoma
Ledger. and who has been in the insane
asylum IN Illinois. The police reported this
afternoon that they had found portions of
human body in the ruins near Sage's
office. The fragments were sent 10 the
Morgue. II is believed the re mains were
part Of the bomb-thrower's body.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The most remark
able contest, in the opinion of old and expe-
rlenced Congressman, for the Speakership
OF the House OF Representatives that has
taken place for many years, has reached its
last day. with no material change in the
situation. The attack on Sprlnger's forces,
designed to bring about the withdrawal of
the Illinois candidate, continues. but
Springer said he would not be forced to re-
tire by defections in his own ranks; that he
had still resolved to 20 before the caucus
and stick to the end. A great deal of in
dignaton is expressed by Springer's warm
est supporters at the abandonment of his
canvass by members of his State delegation.
The other candidates are still confident of

efforts TO belittle everything concerning

A MANAGERS HsHAPs.
The struggle between D'0yley Carte and
his company at the Royal English Opera
has ended in victory tor the manager. 1t
is an interesting episode in the history of
the effort 10 establish English opera in En-
gland. Carte's enterprise was on too great
a scale, involving the engagement of two
seperate companies, which again involved
higher prices than the public was willing to
pay. He found he could only 60 on By sup
pressing one company or by reducing sal
aries all round. Then he was confronted by
a legal difficulty, modifying the terms of
agreement for the season. Like good
general he thereupon closed the season and
the theaters together, offering to renew his
contracts on living terms. The artists
struggled, but yielded.
THE SCANDAL CASE.
The general interest in the Russell case is
due solely TO the rank and social position of
the parties 10 1t, and the fact that the re-
srondent Is grandson of q former states
man. The result proves that Lady RusSell's
petition for judicial separation ought never
10 have been fled, or never have been al
lowed TO come to public hearing. This
the indisGre.i0n Of her advisers is her worst
misfortune. What could her friends have
meant by allowing her to bring into court
her wretched story? She alleged cruelty
by her husband. 1t is tolerably plain tha
Lord Russell is not an easy person to get on
with; the details were pGltry, sOrdid and
often contemplate. Money was at the bot
tom OF the sQuabble, said Sir Charles Rus
sell, who defended Lord Russell, in a way
which presently turned the prejudice
against him into something like SYM
pathy with him. Sir Edward Clarke once
more figures as an unsuccessful advO-
cate in trials only too conspicuous.
Hardly anything of the petitioners case
was left after Lady Russel's cross -examin-
alton and after Lord Russell had told his
own story on the stand. He was clearly the
witness OF truth, and faced damaging ques-
tionS with courage and composurc, even
when they compelled more damaging eon-
fessions. Public opinion is an odd thing

DISTRUST OF GLADSTONE.
There are signs Of growing dstrust of

it, Mccarthy tells a cheering audience that

voted steadily for Mills. During all the
time. however, Springer received the con-
slant support If the Michigan delegation
and a pOytiOn of the Indiana and Wiscon-
sin delegations, and his local supporters in

1t was after o'clock this evening when
the tenth ballot was concluded and men,
bers began to get very weary as ballot after

change. During all these six hours constant
pressure was being eXerted by the various
leaders to scatter the forces of Springer,

over the preceding ballot, but Holman an
nounced through an error of computation
that Springer was credited with IA votes in
the previous ballot, whereas Illinois can
didate actually received II.
After the seventeenth ballot which showed
no change in the situation, the caucus, on
motion of O'Neil of Massachusetts, ad-
journed until 10 O'clock Monday. The mo-
tiOn was unanimously carried; those in
favor of fighting it being in a hopeless mi
uority and offpTed no opposition. The de-
cision to adjourn was the result of a prior
understanding on the part of all FIVE candi-
dates, who being unable to sea whether
there would or would not be any advantage
in holding the caucus together, agreed to
adjourn and take the chances. The mem-
bers quickly di ipersed to seek much needed
rest before beginning the difficult task of
breaking the deadlock.

definitely TO pledge him. self. 1t was gener-
ally believed that not more than 220 men,
bers would go into the caucus. The esti-
mates given show the leaders themselves are
not far apart in their calculations, and this
renders 1t possible that absentees, or votes
cast for minor candidates until their flag is
buried aud the day is lost, may give the vic
tory one way or the other.
Nearly all tho delegations from States
which have candidates for the Speakership
held secret caucuses at the Capitol shortly
after noon TO prepare for the last and final
struggle. Only in the meeting OF the Illi-
neis delegation was any general interest
manifested, as hopes were entertained by
all the other candidates that Sprlnger's s
forces would 60 to pieces on the first ballot.
The meeting Of the delegation, however,

eral NewAeTry should present Springer's S
name to the caucus and no action should be
taken in binding the Illinois Congressman
to Springer under the unit rule. The fall
ure OF the Illinois friends of Mills to openly
desert Springer is due to the action OF the
Michigan delegation.
Whiting of Michigan walled upon Messrs.
Formsn. Fithian and Wike OF the Illinois
delegation and announced the Michigan
delegation had decided to give its entire
support of seven votes to Springer upon the
first ballot. but that if any Illinois men de-
serted to Mills upon the first ballot the
Michigan delegation would vote solidly for
Crisp and endeayOr to effect his election.
The same announcement was made to
Hayes and other Springer meD.0f the Iowa
delegation, who were understood to be ready
10 60 to Mills on the first ballot. A few
minutes later Hayes informed the Associated
Press that the Iowa delegation might con-
clude to remain loyal to Springer for at
least the initial ballot.
The Tennessee delegation resolved unani-
m ously to support McMillin until such time
at least as his candidacy should be con-
sidered hopeless.
The hail of the House began to fill up after
1 o'clock, though more than half of the
members present did not possess voting

ANAHEIM, Dec. 5.-The large &C, 900 gal
Ion tank at the city water works CO /
lapsed when about half full OF water this
morning at half-past o'clock. The hoops
gave way and the tank fell with q crash to
the ground, distance Of thirty feet. The
noise sounded as il boiler bad burst. The
water spurted from the tank and the slaves
went flying in all directions, and many fell
upon the water works and City Jail below
Engineer Schneider. who was IN the engine
house pumping water, was badly hurt, but
stood at his post, bTavely opening the
valves, shutting off the steam and drawing
the fires. He is badly cut about the head.
The City Jail was demolished and the boiler
house at the water works wrecked.
All afternoon men have been at work re-
moving the debris, cleaning things up and
repairing the damage done by the collapse.
Slaves and broken hoops were strewn all
over the ground and broken hoops hung
suspended from crossbeams like so many
ribbons. The roof of the engine-house Is
broken in, boiler disrupted, coal-bins
smashed, City Jail next door demolished,
sheds and hen-houses in the vicinity lifted
by the force of the water, carried several
feet and tumbling over. The tank con-
tanned $4,000 gallons, being one of four at
the water works. 1t flooded the entire
neighborhood. When the tank burst 1t was
being filled. having 17h feet of water The
water spurted in all directions through the
separated slaves; then the whols thing fell
to the ground. The tank frame remains
standing
Engineer Schneider, who was working at
the bench beneath the tank, first heard the
swapping bands of iron, and was instantly
struck and knocked down by one of them.
He crawled under a bench to escape the
falling debris. When the deluge came he
tried 10 get out. but was knocked down
again by the water. He would have
drowned but for the assistance Of others
who had been attracted by the commotion.
He Immediately went into the engine-room,
which was running with water. turned off
the steam and drew the fires. He was badly
injured and was taken home, but reap
peared later in the day to size up the extent
of the damage. The disaster was due to in
secure hoops. The tank had lately been
accepted by the city, and was part of the
improvements contemplated in the recent
issue of city bonds. S. o. Wood OF Los An
put up the tank. The loss amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars. This leaves the city
temporarily without water. Men are at
work repairing the damage, and it is thought
the damage to the engine and boiler will be
fixed by Monday.
