PARIS, March I5S-It is evident that the
persons who stole the dynamite cart
ridges from the Seine quarries are en-
deavorlng to inaugurate reign of terror
IN this city. About 2 o'clock this morn
ing a terrific explosion occurred at the
Loban barracks, occupied by the Repub-
lIcan Guard, adjoining the Hotel De
Vile. In moment the widest excite
ment prevailed. Men sprang for the
doors and windows, thinking the walls
would come topping down upon them,
and the streets in the vicinity were soon
filled with an excited crowd It was
found on investigation that dynamite
cartridge had been placed upon the
threshold of windowless room.
The guards fortunately escaped with
out injury, and the only harm done was
to the barracks and buildings in the
vicinity, which was great. Hundreds of
windows were shattered, and the walls
OF the barracks and other buildings were
badly shattered.

Failure of st. Petersburg Banker.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 15.-Banker
Guenzburg has suspended payments.
Guenzburg's liabilities are about 6,000,-
600 rubles.
BERLIN, March 15.-Further particu-
lars regarding the failure of Guenzburg
at St. Petersburg show that it is attrib-
uted partly to Government animosity,
which hampered the financial business OF
the house. 1t is expected that the credit
ors will be ultimately paid in full.
PARIS, March 15.-The Bourse was un-

FOUND ERRORS IN THE BIBLE.
Rev. DIR. Smiths Statement for Which He
Will Be Tried.

CINcINATI, Ohio, November 19.-Rev.
DR.. Henry P. Smith, a prominent Presby-
terian of this city, will be placed on
trial tomorrow before the Presbytery of
Cincinnati for declaring, in pamphlet
written by him recently, that the Bible
contained errors as well as trAth. The
case excites interest largely because the
professor followed in the footsteps of
the Rev. DR.. Briggs. DR.. Smith has de-
clined to make public his defence. He
said the decision of the church to revise
the Westminster confession was an adj.
mission that this formulary no longer
expressed the views of the Presbyterians
and placed the church practically in the
same position that he had taken. He
intends to defend his utterances and
holds still that the Bible is the word of
God but it is not demanded that every
word be regarded as literally true and
inspired.

ON 'BLOODY SUNDAY"
London Workingmen Heard Speeches
in Trafalgar Square,
BUT THERE WERE NO BROKEN
HEADS THIS TIME.

The Crowd Was Composed of Respectable
workingmen Who Hoard Moderate
Speeches and Adopted Resolutions
The Police Were Not Prominent but
There Was a Strong Force Near By-A
Great Throng of sightseers Crowded
the Square.
LONDON, November 13-Trafalgar
Square was thronged today, it being the
anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" the
scene of a great popular demonstration
in celebration of the restoration by the
Liberal government of the right to hold
public meetings in the square, and to
give voice to the demands of the unem-
ployed poor upon the government and
local bodies to start all needed public
improvements to assist in relieving ex-
isting destitution. The windows and
roofs of the buildings overlooking the
square were crowded with spectators.
There was noticeable absence of police
within the square but hundreds on foot
and numbers of mounted men were sta
toned back of the national gallery and
other convenient places out of sight.
Detachments of three or four were
placed every few yards at the approaches
to the square. The ambulance corps,
with
Stretchers and Other Paraphernalia
was on hand ready for service. The
square was filled with a vast concourse
of people by half-past three. 1t was an
eminently orderly crowd. Ordinary
traffic was little impeded. The majority
of the processionists were well dressed
workingmen. They appeared almost
lost in the great crowd of spectators,
drawn by curiosity. There were forty
speakers, including John Burns, G. A.
Conybeare, M. r., James Keir Hardie,
M. p, III. N. Hyndman, Ben Tillett, Ber-
nard Shaw and William Saunders. The
speeches were limited to six minutes
each. Mr.. Burns moved resolution
Anent the Unemployed.
His speech was moderate. MI. Cony-
beare urged his hearers to compel the
government to give the people full con-
troll of the police. He deprecated talk
about the use of dynamite to secure to
! the people the restoration OF Inelr rights.
Such absurd utteranses as were heard at
! Tower Hill were 3 sslsgrace, and came
chiefly from the lips of foreign paupers.
! Other speakers followed. Resolutions
were put from all the platforms at
AIS p. m. and were declared carried,
though the kubbub prevented the words
of the resolutions being heard beyond
| the platform. The square was then
quickly cleared and the processionists
took up their march to their respective
districts with bands playing and banners
waving.

SPECIAL AGENT IVAN PETROFF.
A Washington Paper Accuses Him of Ly
ing About Alaska Seals.

WASHINGTON, November 12.--The Post
| today publishes an article, stating that
Ivan Petroff, special agent of the State
Department, and formerly in the census
office, has been detected in the act of
| furnishing false information to this gov
ernment in relation to the seal industry
| of Alaska, and which is embodied in the
preparation Of the Behring Sea case for
! arbitration. The article says that when
the State Department began the task,
some months ago, of preparing the Beh-
ring Sea case for arbitration, it became
necessary to secure the assistance of all
| the experts on the Alaskan and Sealing
questions. 1t was learned that Petroff
had taken the census OF Alaska for the
| United States government in 1880 and
| 1870, and had written monograph is
sued by the Bureau of Statistics for the
| Treasury Depal tment on Alaska. He
| had also assisted Hubert Howe Bancroft
| in the preparation of the latter's history
| OF the territory Petroff was summoned
| from the Census Bureau to the State De-
partment, and intrusted with an exami-
| nation into and compilation Of certain
| facts relating to the sealing industry.
| The discovery of the deception as
founded the state officials. The infor-
nation has already been incorporated in
! the case of this government as sent to
| London and formed part of the arch
upon which the United States claim
rested. The British government was at
once notified that the United States had
| been led into error of statement and was
| informed that a correction would be
made when the counter case, as the sup
Elementary papers are termed, was sub
| mitted.
No motive is alleged for Petroff's act.
| The law provides no punishment for
such an offence.

The Democrats in the Senate,

UdllOU.
The Democrats in the Senate,
WASHINGTON, ,Novemberl12
that Montana, California and Wyoming
will send Democratic senators here, as
indicated by the Associated Press dis
patches, the Democrats at the begin
ming of the SD Congress would have as
many senators as the Republicans and
Populists combined, and thus would be
able to organize the Senate by the cast
ing vote of ice-President-elect Steven
son.
1t is reasonably certain, however, that
the Democrats can rely on the support of
some of the Populist senators in any of
their projects, whether for the removal
of the present force of the Republican
employees or the revision of the tariff.
OF the 25 senatorial seats vacant March
4, 1893, the Democrats will name the oc-
cupants of 13, the Republicans Of 8 and
the Populists of 8, one being Senator
Stewart of Nevada, who has Topped from
the Republican party.
The Democrats lose no seat they now
hold, and gain five from the Republicans,
one each in California, Montana, New
York, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The Populists gain senators from the
Republicans in Kansas and Nebraska,
besides Senator Stewart in Nevada, who
will succeed himself.
