PiTrssuaaH, Pa, Dec. 26.@The body

Of considerable anxiety to many Of its

Duss has power as absolute US that OF

far superior to any other man In the

Besides having autocratic authority
over all, he controls the action and

sulliyan,s statement and the reflection

sulliyan's statement and the reflection
1t casts on his character, was very in.
dignant
"sulliyan Is going crazy" said he,
"for / am sure thatf his mind is not
weak he would never make such awful
remarks. I have been told, although
he mentions no names, that lam the
person accused. Heaven be my judge,
never injured that man in my life,
but instead, I treated him like q
brother. Drink has been the
cause OF his ruin and nothing else.
Charley johnson and / during the days
OF his training on Long Island watched
him like mother would child to
keep him away from drinking, but de-
spite our watchfulness he stole beer,
and sneaked II to his room. Yes, that
is the cause Of his defeat and not NOR
phine, which he says was put in
his food. His defeat Is killing him
gradually and his brain is beyond a
doubt getting weak. ! had a fortune
on Sullivan to whip Corbett, and i can
tell you that it came within an ace Of
running me. i feel sorry for poor John,
but God knows / was always his friend
and always will be."
Charley Johnston, his other hacker,
was in an angry mood tonight over
what Sullivan had said, and refused to
talk at length on the subject. he be-
lieves, too, that Sullivan Is losing his
mind and fears the future. Regarding
the statements that Sullivan was
drugged, he says that they were made
by man whose mind had been wrecked
by reverses and "otd John Barley
Corn"
The opinion prevails here that sulli-
vans queer actions ioretell an early
break down. Sullivan appeared at the
Windsor theatre tonight to a crowded
house. No one was permitted to inter-
view him by strict orders.

LONDON. Dec. 26-The Morning Pot,
after expressing the opinion that the
Dublin explosion had q political origin,
says:
Not in vain has Mr.. Morley striven
to unmtzzte the agencies of crime in
Ireland. Where he has given an inch,
the recipient OF his misplaced leniency
have taken an ell. The release Of the
Gweedore murderers is followed by an
explosion equalling in sickening and IN.
human character oil that have preceded
it Weean only say that it rests with
Englishmen TO meet this deed OF wick
edness with language which shall bring
Mr.. Morley's cringing and crouching
policy to q speedy end"
The Tins says: "The terrible crime
ia astriking comment upon Mr.. Nor
ley's last act of homage to his masters.
The outrage appears to have been de-
signed and executed in general Accord
ance with the methods OF Clan-na- Gael
emissarfes.n
The Standard says: "This crime
should serve to convince Mr.. Morley Of
the futility Of the hopes he has based
on the policy OF Cancellation. 1t has
rather spoilt the effects of the pretty
device for allowing Gweedore murder-
ers to return to their families for Christ
mas"
The Daily Meaps says editorially: "The
motive Of the Dublin explosion proba-
bly, was a private grudge. 1t cannot be
denied, however, that the secession OF
the Parnellites has caused recrudes-
cence OF criminal elements which might
have been extinguished altogether had
the Irish party remained in the act. It
was absurd to connect the outrage with
the DAILY matter. Mr.. Morley has no
power to release DAILY from an English
prison.

Dus11N, Dec 2G.-A coroneRs inquest
was held to-day on the body Of Detec-
tive synnott, who lost his lie by the
explosion at the detectives Office.
After hearing the evidence OF several
witnesses, the jury rendered averdict
that the explosion was dueto the ex-
plosion Of high class explosive sub
stance placed in tho court by o person
whose identity was r7known to the
Jury. 1t was recommended that the
authorities provide for the family OF
Detective Synnott. !.
The London police recently received
vague intimation Of q possible renewal
Of dynamite outrages, and extra pre-:
cautions were at once taken to guard
against injury being done to public
buildings. It's supposed that the dyn-
Namiters thus thwarted decided to make
Dublin the scene OF this outrage.
Secretary Asquith was busy at the
home Office to-day, and unusual activity

knocked him down and he could not
rise because his legs had been doctored.
he accuses his backer as being an ene-

for the benefit Of a combination Of
gamblers. Sullivan declares that he
will be champion of the world again
and that he will fight Corbett when his
theatrical engagementsa are over. This
time lie will be backed by business
men, not sporting men. Sullivan was.
very severe in his denunciation OF his
backer and trainer, and in regard to the
latter said that, being denied glass Of
ale he crayed with his meals, stole
bottles Of lager and drank them in a
