DYNAMITE IN MADRID.
Tive Bomb Fiends Arrested on
the Cortes Steps.
CAUGHT ALMOST IN THE ACT.
Mrs. Montagu, Who Tortured and Aur-
dsred Her Little Daughter, Escapes
With Q Years imprisonment.

MADRID, April 4.-Great excitement was
caused today by the discovery of an
anarchist plot to blow up the chamber OF
deputies. The police had received informa-
tlon that two foreign anarchists were
conspiring with Spanish anarchists
to blow up public buildings. This
afternoon the suspects, Frenchman
named Duyal and . Portuguese named
Feiriera, left their houses, each carrying
parcel wrapped In a newspaper. The police
watched them. At the cortes building
both placed themselves before the door
leading to the chamber of deputies. The
police then decided to arrest them.
They had conical bombs Enclosed in cast
iron cases, and each having three-minute
fuse. The bombs weighed eight pounds
each.
The prisoners, who had the appearance
of workmen, were conveyed to the min
istry of the interior and searchingly ex-
amined. A document was found on them
containing the plan of a cosmopolitan So
ciety, according to which they were to
blow up the chamber of deputies, the law
courts, the council of state, the ministry
of war, the royal palaces and the Bank of
Spain, in the order named, to be COM
pleted before May 1. Each prisoner made
q confession, but it is not known whether
either gave a clue to their fellow-con-
spirators or the scope of the plot.
The prisoners admit connection with
the Paris anarchists.

Special. The Chilean consul for Central
America informs the government of Sal

authorizes an offer to the South
American Steamer Company for the
following subvention: To call monthly
at ports of La Union, La Libertad and
Acajutla from Panama, $50, 900 in silver,

date TO obtain subventions from Costa
Riea, Nicaragua and Honduras. whose
governments had the Pacific Mail Steam
ship monopoly and its heavy charges.

Attorney General Decides That No War.
rants Can Be Drawn After May 4.
OLYMPIA, April 4.-[Special. State
Auditor Reed received today from Attor-
ney-General Jones an opinion in which
the latter holds that no funds will be
available for the payment of militia ex-
penses after May l. The question will
probably be taken to the supreme court,
however, in mandamus proceedings to
compel the auditor to issue warrants
on the militia fund. If the
decision of tho court should sustain tho
attorney-general's view, the militia credit
ors will have to accept a certificate of in
debtedness between May / and the pas
sage Of the appropriation act by the next
Legislature. The opinion Of the attorney
general is as follows:
am in receipt of your communication OF re-
cent date in which you inquire whether the
special military fund can be drawn on for the
purpose OF carrying out provisions OF tho So
called military Law after the LIST OF May next
This law was approved on March y,
1880. Under the provisions OF section 4.
article VIII, OF the constitution, no money
can be paid out of the state treasury in pur-
suance of an appropriation, unless such pay
ment be made within two years from the first
day of May next after the passage OF such an
appropriation act think that the chief design
OF this constitutional provision was to absolutely
compel the attention of the legislature to be
called at each regular session to all OF the e1-
penditures and expenses OF maintaining state
government, SO that by no possibility, resulting
from oversight or otherwise, can the ex-
penditure of money from the state treasury ex-
coed the amount estimated by the leg
islatnre at its regular session, ana TO
which its attention il particularly called. II Is
unfortunate that the attention OF the state leg
islaturc was not called to the matter at its last
session, but under the circumstances l do not
see how any money can be lawfully expended
under the provisions OF the act OF March q,
1880, after the first day OF May next 4

BOISE CRY, April 4.-Six sisters named
Harvey have been arrested on q ranch
near Salmon Falls, Idaho, charged with
highway robbery. They were dressed as

girls say that they hated to work. and are
glad it is all over. The proceeds other
than the money of the various stage rob-
berries in which they took part were
shipped East by their father and mother.
This was done so as to avoid exciting sus-
picion by using or selling the articles in
the vicinity. The sheriff and ten deputies
hid in the woods near Harvey's ranch and
waited for stage to be stopped. As the
six women, in male attire. "held up" the

New York, April 5.-"There are at least

keepers of gambling dens, saloons, concert

$1,000 900, for a calculation shows that the
amount is probably nearly $40, 900, co.,"
According to morning paper, Henry
NJ. Tabor, foreman of the March grand
jury, made the above startling accusation
in an interview last evening.
against what members of the police do
you direct accusations?"
Against the force, from superintendent
to patrolmen."
The grand jury has not been able to ind
evidence inculpating the commissioners.
Mr.. Tabor was asked why the grand jury
did not find indictments in place of an in
definite presentment against the police de-
partment.
We had Chief Inspector Byrnes and Inspector
Williams before US. Both of these ofiiei-ls are
more than q match for us. They know how TO
cover themselves. and. to use a vulgarism, they
''foored" us. We had presumptive evil
dence enotgh to warrant tho indictment
of mshy police officials, but while
the eyidcnceMas convincing to the grand Jury,
we could not reply on its presentation before
trial. The witnesses RETAINED from giving evil
dence for fear OF vengeance. 1t exposed tho
parties to vengeance, in the execution Of which
the police would give every opportunity and
assure protection.
Do you infer that the witnesses feared assas-
snation7
Perhaps l should not go so far as TO say
"feared deliberate assassination" but they Ger
taiuly did fear bodily harm. At all events, the
police system in this city is such that no one
can deny the danger one is subjected to when
he has incurred the enmity OF any member OF
the force.
