A DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
LyKrLy rur FORK or ANARCHISTS.
An Attempt 10 Blow Up the Lobeau Darfncks.
The Kaiser's NalndY Said to bo

PARIS. March l5.-It is very evident that
the Anarchists, or whoever 1t vas. who stole
the dynamite cartridges from the Seine quar-
ries are endeavoring to inaugurate o reign Of
terror in this city. and to Judge from the con-
sternation that prevails in certain quarters it
is also evident that they are succeeding. 1t
does not. of course, follow that all the explo-
sions that have recently occurred were
caused By the stolen cartridges, but there is
no doubt that the Anarchists have large
quantity of dynamite that the police have not
succeeded in capturing. Between l and
o'clock this morning terrific explosion oc-
Cured at Lobeau barracks, occupied 10y
the Republican Guard. and adjoining the
Hotel Do Vile.
Widest EXCITEMENT.
In a moment q scene Of the widest excite
ment prevailed The barracks are occupied
by 700 guards. but of course they were not al
in the building; there We're, however. q large
number of men asleep in the barracks. sud
derlv awakened by the tremendous roar and
shock that seemed to threaten the demolition
OF the structure. the men sprang for the doors
and windows thinking that at any moment
the walls would come topping down upon
them. The people who were IN the streets at
the hour the explosion occurred at exactly
1.25 A. M.-hastened to the scene, and the
streets in the vicinity were soon filed with an
excited crowd the members of which adj
vanced all sorts of theories TO account for
the explosion.
THE POLICE INVESTIGATE.
The police at once began an investigation
and soon learned that a dynamite cartridge
had been placed upon the ledge of the win
dow of the mess-room. which IS situated near
tue ground floor OF the barracks. Pieces OF
the copper casing of the cartridge and the
fuse were found. and these explained the
methods the miscreants had employed 70 de-
stroy the barracks. in which, however they
fortunately failed bv the greatest good luck.
The guards escaped without injury and the
only harm done was 20 the barracks and the
buildings in the vicinity.
The explosive was in a box which was
placed on window-sill and tho box must
have contained a large quantity of bullets, as
many bullets were found embedded in the
walls.
This removes any doubt that tho explosion
was the work Of Anarchists.

Ex-Mayor Grace Writes an Interesting
Letter on the New York situation.
New York, March 26.-Ex-Mayor VIM.
Il. Grace has written to-day long letter
TO prominent Southern Democrat, IN
which he gives a resume OF the reasons
which have, in his opinion, led TO the Dem
ocratic revolt in this State, in which re
says:
III did not feel that it was an absolute
necessity for tho success Of the Democratic
party to appease the feeling which exists
in this State against the machine by reacn-
ing fair compromise in Chicago, do not
think would take upon myself the bur
den of labor which already have assumed,
but as matter OF patriotic duty 10 the
State and as matter of salvation for the
party next fall, think il will be easy TO
snow that our work will be productive OF
immense good. OF one thing, can assure
you, that the men who will represent
the State Democracy at Chicago, will act
with precedence and good judgment for the
interest of the Democratic party and not
for the interest of any individual; Of this
YOU may feel thoroughly assured, and II Is
for this reason that hope for your aid in
securing their admission 10 the convention
as delegates.
ut is inconceivable to me that the South
should for a moment think of setting aside
Cleveland, who is the only man in our time
who has made the Democratic party re-
spected by the really conservative elements
OF the North, and who has been the means
of rallying within the Democratic ranks
some of the most intelligent and most pa
triotc members of every community In the
Northern States.n

NEW YORK, March 27.-President Thos.
+. Oakes. of tie Northern Pacific Railway,
arrived in this city yesterday after pro-
longed inspection of the lines of that syS-
TEN. He says: 1T is not possible for the
Great Northern Company to build its Pa
cific coast extension before November l,
but it may be completed in twelve months
from April l. The country through
which the line is projected is hith-
erte inaccessible territory, with no
population and no business. In other
words, the Great n Northern will have 70 pur-
sue the course originally pursued by the
Northern Pacific and build up It's own ter
ritory. / believe the construction Of the
Great Northern road TO the Pacific coast
will prove success, but IL seems TO me
poor argument on the part Of the promoters
of that scheme TO seek TO push the work by
attempts to injure the value Of Northern
Pacific securities. The Northern Pacific
Company has cash on hand always TO meet
its current obligations. ANY statement
that il has not is simply mere twaddle."
Sioux CITY, IA, March 26.-The lease of

dicating that great combination of the
Great Northern and Kansas City is con-
templated, and that the Pacific Short Line
is TO be completed and the B. q o. open
routes to the Mississippi river. 1t leaked
out here yesterday that Mr.. Stickney, of
the Kansas City system, was here all day
Thursday, in private conference with lead
ing railroad men. 1t is now believed that
he is interested with James j. Hill and
Sioux City syndicate in the terminal facili-
ties that have been put in here and the
magnificent union depot that is building.
WASHINGTON, March 20. President
James j. Hill and Vice President w. Z.
Clough, of the Great Northern Railway,
were here.
Mr. Hill had a conversation with Sena-
tor-elect Mills, of Texas, on the subject OF
the tariff. He stated that the Great
Narthern r. r. Co. was now buying Krupp
rails abroad and paying s. ton more than
would have 10 be paid for American
rails, but he claimed that these steel rails
were superior to the American, and cited
the fact that out of the thousands that had
already been put down and used only one
had broken. 1t was question OF safety to
life and property, as 200 of the American
rails had broken on his road.

TWO MORE INDICTED.
Nine Chicago Aldermen Now Indicted for
Eelonles.

CHICAGO, March 20. Expectations that
differences Of opinions In the ranks OF the
Drosecution would prevent the Indictment
Of Aldermen Bowler and Michaelson were
disappointed to-day. The two new indlct-
ments were finally presented in Court,
making nine city fathers in ali VINO musC
now successfully defend themselves before
Judge and jury, or don striped ciotnlng.
The specific charge against Bowler IS
that he attempted to "mace" real estate
owners to the extent Of $4,000 for putting
through a street railway ordinance that
would enhance Milwaukee avenue property
values. Alderman Michaelson's particular
offense is that he tried 10 blackmail coal
marchaut who wanted permission from the
CITY Council to lay new switching track.
This afternoon the investigation took an
unexpected turn, the inquiry leading away
for the time being from the crooked Alder
men TO the members Of the City Board OF
Education Otis Jones, heating apparatus
manufacturer, was called to explain how
his firm received nearly all contracts. Mr..
Jones was under fire but few minutes
when he tainted Great commotion ensued
among the jurors, but the witness was re-
vived and the examination continued.
Jones' testimony. if true, would reflect on
ex.State Senator NJ. B. Hereley, one of
the members of the Board Of Education,
and Banks Cregier, son of ex-Mayor
Cregier.
Through Jones, Clerk G. H. Goodrich,
now secretary of the Mascouth Kennel
Club. IL was claimed about &, 900 had been
paid to Hereley and young Cregier-the
former get fat contract and to the latter to
have Hereley appointed by Mayor Cregier.
Goodrich succeeded Jones on the witness
list, and declared Jones' testimony mali
ciously false. Except Alderman Bowler
and Michaelsou, none Of the many suspects
were indicted to-day. Bowler and Michael
son each gave 1000 bail.
Capt. Gibbs, of the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank, proved one Of the inter
esting witnesses. 1t was said that he told
the grand jury the names of certain alder
men who drew from the bank Sll 900 Just
prior to the passage of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad ordinance and that he re-
vealed the name of the man who made the

SDsos1s Tsegrqn 20 ne sunday Register.
S1srEasvILLE. w. VA, March 26.-There
seems 10 be a general impression among
tho oil men who have studied this territory
that this will be the next field OF any con-
sequence. There are good reasons TO eN-
pect rapid development from this time on.
The cheapness of the operating (aoout
g., ,OOO) and the staying qualities or the
wells, which, as a general rule, have been
increasing in production since they nave
come in, gives an operator more courage to
20 ahead here in this present time OF
panic than in any other section,
save. perhaps, the Butler county hun
dred-foOt, at least from observation
one can Judge so. A town lot boom has
started in, as IS usually the case, and some
locations have been made back from the
river which will soon test a large portion
of the Virginia territory beyond the pres
ent test. There are many cOnlectures as
10 the direction the belt runs. Theories
have been discussed thoroughly, and every
man here who is at all interested has
formed some definite idea, and has leased
accordingly. Leasers are. becoming very
scarce in the vicinity of developments, aud
those who are fortunate enough 10 have
secured a block OF territory may congratu-
late themselves, as prices have been Jump
ing up daily.
Within the past two weeks some of the
principal lease holders are Ludwig X
Mooney, Smith & Shay, Jones x Tenant,
j. a. and Il. G. Gillespie, Capt Grace and
Kanawha OH Co. An instance Of the won
derful staying qualities Of the wells here
is demonstrated by the recovery of Ludwig
4 Moneys wells in Pole Cat Hollow.
This we'll was drilled two years ago, and
after several attempts 10 exhaust the salt
water it was abandoned. FOar-inch-tub-
ing was recently put in and to-day the well
is producing sixty-ive barrels daily.

WALT. WHITMAN DEAD.
Calmly and Peacefully, Like a Sweet

GOOD, GRAY POET PASSES AWAY.
A Iorg, Evsntful and Useful Life Ended-Hs Had
Been Sinking for Several Days bat the Fact
Had Not Become Public Till the End was

PELADELPHIA, PA, March 26.-Calmly
and peacefully, like the sweet child asleep,
Walt Whitman passed away this evening.
He had been weaker than usual for some
davs. but for some reason the knowledge
of his candition did not become public prop
erty.
He bad sinking spell last night, but re-
covered somewhat. Again at 4:5O TINS
afternoon he began to sink. A messenger
was hurriedly sent for his physician, Dr.
Alex. McAllister, who reached the dying
mans bedside short while afterwards.
The doctor found the aged poet IN dying
condition, and so informed those around
his bedside.
He asked the patient if he suffered any
pain, and the whispered answer was mo: "
Twenty minutes before his death he SAID
to his attendant, "wary, shift
These were the last words uttered by Mr..
Whitman. His breathing became fainter
and fainter and at exactly 6:43 p. m, he
passed away.
The remains of the poet will be placed IN
the recently completed tomb in Harleignl
cemetery on the outskirts of the city oil
Camden, a spot selected by Mr.. Whitman
when he was enjoying his usual health, ana
where he visited many times during the
construction of the tomb.
