THE DUBLIN EXPLOSION.
1t Was Apparently Not a Political
Outrage.

DUBLIN, Dec. 25.-The first reports
that the explosion last night outside OF
the detective Office at Exchange court
was political outrage, are deprecated
by tine police. The general opinion is
that the bomb or internal machine was
placed by person with a personal spite
against the detective force. All day
people from all parts of the city have
gathered in crowds near the place. I'm
mediately after the explosion somebody
ran through the city spreading the re-
port that John Morley. the Irish secre-
tary, who was passing the office at the
time of the explosion, had been thrown
to the ground. and was suffering from
concussiOn of the brain. Several friends
Of Mr.. Morley, who were not Informed
as to his whereabouts, came running to
the office to inquire after his injuries.
The only person severely injured was
the detective, who died. Three men and
woman in side street. about 100
yards off, were thrown to the
ground and remained unconscious for
several minutes. They sustained only
few bruises and walked home. De-
tectiye Synnott, who lost his life by the
explosion, when found lay PROSTATE.
his face mangled, an arm and a leg
shattered, and severely wounded on the
chest. He was taken to the Keryis street
hospital, where his injured limbs were
gamputated. He lay unconscious for
about twenty minutes: then he died.
The walls of the detective Office were
cracked by the force OF the explosion.
and all of the windows and window
frames were broken. At the spot where
the Internal machine exploded the flag
giBg of the court yard was torn up for
several feet and a great hole was ex-
lcayated in the earth. Apparently Syn
mott had kicked oFotherwse moved the
machine away from the wall of the
building. and this very much lessened
the damage to the structure. In the
interior all the rooms are sire wn with
broken plaster and SplinterS of glass.
There have been no arrests in connec-
tion with the outrage, nor have any
clues been discovered, though the police
are seeking to ferret out the guilty.
The apartments in the castle known
as the chief secretary's library, directly
overlooking Exchange court, Was the
scene of the explosion. The Exchange
court is a cul de sac, and the portion OF
the castle overlooking is the only por-
ton that could be approached by any
one without passing the gates of the
castle yard. The gates are always
guarded by sentries, and would, in the
event of an explosion in the yard. be at
once closed, thus preventing the escape
of any culprit or cDlprits.
One of Sinnott's fingers was found
inside uf the chief Secretary's library,
and portions of his clothing were found
one hundred yards distant from the
scene of the explosion. The shock

BLAINE'S CHRISTMAS.
The Invalid Statesman Greets His
Family in a CHEEKY
Tone.
He Is Reported Better Than at
ANY Time for
Week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Inquiry at
the Blaine residence at $50 this even
ing brought forth The welcome answer
that he "was doing very nicely" and
that he had taken milk and broth at 6
p. m. Mr.. Blaine's nurse said that this
had been Mr.. Blaine's best day since
the relapse of one week ago. Dr.
Johnston. Mr.. Blaine's physician, called
upon the patient at $50 p. III. and
found him very comfortable. As evil

particular inquiry about the gifts made

lost none of the interest that has always
characterized him. While the outer
world has been permitted to know but
little OF the domestic life of Mr. Blaine,
the few who have been admitted to
the inner domestic circle say that bis
lovable characteristics are never more
strikingly manifested thau when in the
bosom of his family. When in health.
at the threshold of his home he is wont
to leave behind him the cares and dis
fractions of busy life, and devote much
of his leisure hours in pleasant and in
tereSting conversation with those around
him. In fact, it has been said that to
see Mr.. Blaine at his best one must see
him at his home surrounded by his fam
lily and congenial friends.

SATOLLI,S POSITION.
1t Is Apparently an Unenviab!e
One.

One.
ROME, Dec. 25.-The latest reports re-
ceived here regarding Mgr. SatolIi
have somewhat dampened previous en-
thusiasm. 1t is feared the gulf between
Mgr. Satoli and the American
bishops will be harder to bridge over
than was supposed. The Vatican. how
ever. hopes with time and patience to
conquer the objections of the bishops to
its plans and convince them it has no
desire to lessen their legitimate author
ity. Mgr. Satolli is not disgraced.
He has acted on the orders he received.
The pope'S mind is set on the adoption
of the plans. IL is unlikely that the
Vatican will definitely decide about
M ,r. SatolIi until tire arrival here of
4ugr. O'COnnell. AT present L have
good authority for stating that the pope
sees no reason for abandoning his en-
voy, Mgr. Satolii. President HarI iSOn
Is understood to have the idea Of open
ing diplomatic relations with Rome more
favorablv than Mir. Cleveland. What
ever things may have come of SatOllfs
mission, Iscarcely think that red hat
for Archbishop Corrigan will be one OF
them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Mgr. Satolli
is lDucN grdllDeu Dy TIC StHtEdl tApieS-
sions of pleasure with which the reStO-
ration of DR.. McGlynn has been received
throughout the country. He deplores
the fact. however, that in some quarters
efforts to fan into blaze embers of the
old controversy are made and hopes
they will cease, as the past is
forgiven and should be forgotten. To
recall it is cruelty to him and disrespect
to authority. Regarding press dis
patches to the effect that there is
dissatisfaction among American bishops
owing to Mgr. Satolli's presence IN
America, and that feeling at
Rome has been dampened by
reports of the New York
conference, the ablegate's private ad-
vices are directly to the contrary. The
Vatican has made known its de-
termination to uphold its legate
against all opposition. Referring TO the
report that President Harrison was
more favorable to diplomatic relations
between the Vatican and the United
States, Mr.. Satolli said tonight that the
only foundation for the story was the
fact that the president had received the
legate merely as the pope'S repre-
sentative at the dedication of the
worlds fair.

BLACKMAILED BY HERR,
Reinach Literally Driven to His
Death by Heartless
Villain,
Who Dragged Him Into a Pitfall
in Order to Levy
- Tribute.

PARIS, Dee. pa story unmatched
i'll all history, and without a parallel
even in standard notion. was told by
prominent banker today in explanation
of the series Of events which has cal
minated i'll the present crisis in
France. 1t requires few words to
outline the main features of this
terrible drama. 1t will be remembered
in connection with Baron Reinach'S
death that it was said that the principal
documents bearing on the distribution
OF the vast Panama corruption funds
had been stolen. These dangerous
papers have for long tine been
in the possession of Cornelius HerZI
now fugitive in London. who for some
days has been so prominently before
the public in connection with the Pan
anna affair.
1t is now said that Herz's connection
with Reinach has been that of "black-
mailer ard his victim" 1t is explained
that Herr gained possession Of the doc
uments several years ago, and ever since
levied gigantic tribute upon Relnach.
The amount aextorted up to the timo
OF the baron's death is placed atnO less
than l0,000,000 francs. When the rtl-
mors of Panama corruption began to be
publicly discussed SIX weeks ago, Herr
is said to have made them the
basis for fresh demand for four
millions. He threatened to publish
ali his evidence in two Paris newspa-
pers il not paid. Relnach could not re-
spond. Herr, inexorable, increased the
pressure. He affirmed that he could
stop the threatened great exposure if
his demands were satisfied.
Reinach, in his extremity, appealed to
ROuver. He reminded the minstee OF
finance of the assistance he had rend-
cred in the past, and which ROuvier
described in his indiscreet speech in the
chamber the other day. The distressed
baron begged him to use every et-
fort to prevent Herr from executing
his threats. Rouyier sought Clemceau.
The latter reported that he could do
nothing. When the result was made
known to Reinach he exclaimed: #
am lostw A day or two later he was
dead, whether by suicide or MUIR
der is still an open question.
Herz's pursuit of Reinach, pitiess
and relentless, for years, IS described
as one OF the cruelest crimes in history.
He was almost penniless and without
influence when Renach made him his
protege, and today he has more than
$1,000, 600 in visible property in Paris
and Frankfort, besides large interests
England. 1t is affirmed also that he
himself instigated the brlberies which
he afterwards used TO ruin his bene'
factor.
There is to be fresh casus belli and
a new challenge between Clemenceau
and MlleyOy. The latter refused to
meet Clemenceau under the original
challenge because the Radical leader
will not consent to a finish
duel with swords if the pistols
prove ineffective. Clemenceau will
now brand MilleVOye as cow
ard, and then they will probably
fight OH the new issue. Ex-Minlster of

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 25.-Kansas, Ok

today, which threatens not only to block
railroad travel, but also to do great dam
age to stock OIL the ranges south of Kan
sas and the strip if it continues for
many hours. Last night a drizzlinC
rain began early in the evening, which
continued almost to daylight, when it
gave way to driving SHOW, the wind
having meantime shifted around to the
ing many degrees colder. The
snow kept up all day, and
before night it had developed
into a regular blizzard, coming straight
from the frozen regions of the North
west. Several inches of snow fell and
drifted badly. Scattering reports from
Kansas and the Southwest generally
show that the railroads are in trouble
from the drifted snow and the cuts on
the prairie, and as rule trains are
many hours late throughout this terri
tory. One train on the Kansas Central
and one on the Missouri Pacific are re-
ported abandoned, and hardly any at
tempt is being made to run trains on
the roads west from Kansas City.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Just enough
snow fell today to prevent New Workers

dawned clear enough, but soon the sky
clouded up and when late risers took
their first peeps from the windows they
saw the houses and streets mantled in
white. A high wind prevailed all day,
and this with the unusually frigid tenn
perature, induced most people to keep
indoors. Nevertheless, the churches
were never so thronged at Christ
mas service as they were today.
Special services were held in all
Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches
and in most of the churches OF the other
denominations. Many churches were
beautifully decorated and in nearly all
there was il special musical programme.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 25.-The
statement or the commissioner of the
general land Office in his annual report
to the effect that the work of that Office
is up to date was regarded as crafty
ing indication of industry with which
the business of the office had been at

possible that some portion of the force
