Taylor Says His Confession Was Forced and
False.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, April 25.-TSpecial
telegram to The HERALD. The federal
officials, including Postal Inspector Wat
kins, are in no small amount Of trouble
over recent developments in the postoftice
robbery matter. Taylor, the man who
peached on Henton, and professed to give
the whole thing away, on whose testimony
Henton was held by the United States
commissioner in the sum of 81, 600 to await
the action of the federal grand jury. now
says his story was complete Justification
from start to finish. He says he was
scared into making the statement aud that
not one word is true. Taylor was pro-
ised exemption from punishment by the
officers but he was put in the pen for safe
keeping in order that he might be present
when wanted as witness. Henton being
lodged in the county jail in default of bail.
The theory now is that Taylor, fearful lest
he himself should be visited with punish
ment and thinking that the officers would
break faith with him, deemed it the easiest
way out of the difficulty to deny the whole
statement. 1t is said that when Taylor
was put in the penitentiary the prisoners
guyed him numerically and called him q
traitor. The general opinion is that Tay-
lor's story is true and that he and Henton
are the guilty parties. His recantation ia
q mere ruSe.

RAVACHOL'S REVENGE
Ehe Place Of NJ. Very, Who De-
livered Him Up, Wrecked.
1t Creates CONSERVATION on the Boulevards-
Preparing for Rayachol's TriaI-Text
of the Anarchist Manifesto.

PARIS, April 25.-The restaurant of M.
Very, who on March 30 delivered Ravschol,
the Anarchist, into the hands of the police,
was utterly wrecked tonight by a bomb
explosion. The police, on entering, found
Very lying on the aoor amidst the debris.
One Of his legs was broken and had to be
amputated. A granddaughter of Very was
also injured and two ladies living over the
restaurant badly shaken and bruised.
Feryis vile was not injured, but she
lost her senses owing TO the shock ;
she suffered and is raving. AT 1880
.. IN. flremen are clearing away the runs.
Fortunately the damage done was almost
entirely confined to the building in which
the restaurant is located. 1t is the general
opinion the explosion was perpetrated
mainly TO terroriZe iurymen who will be on
duty at Rsvachops trial. Three persona
were arrested. One of them shouted, "Vive
= anarchist" on being taken into custody.
News of the explosion quickly spread
throughout the city, creating consterna-
ton, especially on the boulevar6s, where
exaggerated reports Of the affair are
current.
The cafe Is an utter wreck aad the pave
ment in the vicinity is completely strewn
with the debris of furniture and the
front of the building. A waiter named
Theron escaped with slight pruise, but is
suffering from the effects of the great
shock. Several persons riding on tram
car prsslng the building when the explo-
sion occurred were injured by being struck
by pieces of flying glass. The explosion
has terrorized the jury selected TO try
Ravochol and the officials connected in any
way with the trial.

NO MAY CONVENTION
Villas Urges the Anti-Hill Dem
.ocrats Not to Hold 1t.
DICKINSON ENDORSES THE IDEA
Civil Service Law Violations Investigation
No Penalty for Not Keeping Accounts
Of Sales of Oleomargerine.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
New YORK, May ga Press special
from Washington says: Ex-Secretary, and
now Senator, William Villas, of Wisconsin,
who was member of ex-President Cleve-
lands cabinet, is appealing to Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends to stop the May Democratic
convention in New York at all hazards, and
he will go to New York this week to i'm
press his view Of the situation on the bolt
ing Democrats. He is quoted as having
said: at is no longer question between
Cleveland and Hill. We all know that Mr..
Hill is out OF the rage. But although the SEN
ument over the country is overwhelmingly
in favor of Mir. Cleveland's nomination, he
cannot be nominated after a boiling con-
yention of his friends in the Empire State
has been held. The discontiuuance of the
May convention will bring about peace and
harmony, and Cleveland, if nominated, may
get the support of all the Democratic fac
tons of the state. There Is a feeling
throughout the west that Mr. Cleveland
will not receive the support of the Hill peo-
pie, no matter what happens, and that the
May convention, instead of promoting his
SUCCESS, will be fatal to it."
Senator Villas IS said to have written a
number OF letters to his New York friends
of the Cleveland following giving express
sion to these views.
EX-Postmaster-G General Don M. Dickin-
son, OF Michigan, is said to share the be-
lief Of eX- Secretary Villas in respect to the
New York situation and has also written
letters urging the May convention boomers
to let I'D. These efforts following so closely
on Senator Gorman's visit to New York to
make peace between ex-President Cleve-
land and Senator Hill, may have consider
able weight in shaping the course of Demo-
cratic politics in this state and in the ma
tiDnal contest. Much doubt is expressed
among those who know the determined
character of the Democrats who have
called the May convention and have So
cured over q hundred thousand signatures
in support of their action whether they
will submit to outside influences and opin-
ions. As to the stopping of their work, one
OF their Washington symDathiZers IN the
movement said to me yesterday that the
May convention would be declared off only
on the distinct understanding that Senator
Hill would pledge his support to Mr.. Cleve-
land in the event of the eX-President being
far ahead on the first ballot in Chicago.
There are no signs that the overtures for
peace between Cleveland and Hill which
Senator German made have resulted IN
anything but an increase of the bitterness
between the two Democratic factions. The
advice of Mr.. Villas and Mr.. Dickinson may
prove a new factor in the solution of the
Democratic struggle.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The House

day began an investigation into the al
legations that the civil service law is
violated by federal officials in Baltimore.
The resolution recites the report of Civil
1891 tine committee is directed to ascertain
whether any or all of the guilty officials
are still in office and whether they have
been indicted or prosecuted
Postmaster-Ge Wanamaker was the
first witness. He said the postmaster at
Baltimore had asserted injustice was done
to employees in Rooseyelt's report and wit
ness thereupon ordered an investigation
by postoffice inspectors, who reported:
alt is our opinion the facts do not Justify
the dismissal OF two employees or any one of
them for violation of the civil service
law as changed.
The employees in the case, said the wit
ness were poor men, soldiers and sons of
soldiers. and the amount of their contribu-
tons was not much larger than the sum
required to pay for printing the report of
the civil service commission.
Representative Andrews wished to
know why Postmaster Johnson had been
reprimanded.
Witness replied: "For allowing his men
to be in the position of making statements
that could be excepted tor
To Boatner, the postmaster-general said:
''If the men engaged in assessing each
other or in coercing votes, these actions
were certainly violations of the law, but
the men denied they had done So"
Andrews asked the postmas ter-general
if an employee who made one statement in
April and another at a subsequent time
contradicting absolutely his former state
ments, ought to be retained in Office
! Wanamaker SAID he did not think any I'M
| truthful persons ought to be employed, but
he called attention to the fact thai nine
teen of the men contended they did not say
the words attributed to them.
The United States supreme court to- day
held there was no penalty imposed by the

The RnatIers, War

CHEYENNE, Wyo., april 25.-rSpecial
telegram TO The HERALD. Tho four best
attorneys in the state are working like
beavers for the stockmen under guard at
Fort Russell. Just what these legal gen
tlemen are doing or propose to do, is more
than any one can find out. They simply
say that they positively Will not give their
case to the public and thus expose
their plans TO the enemy. For
another thing, they do not wish a
newspaper or street-corner trial at this
time. To the reporter and correspondent
Governor Barber is sterile and unsatis-
factory as ever. He makes mysterious
promise of some news late tonight. 1t is
strongly surmised that Just now the cattle
men and their attorneys are fguratively
moving heaven and earth to defeat the
project of returning the prisoners to John
son county. 1t Is now admitted that a
mistake was made in not allowing the
prisoners to remain at Mckinney until pre-
limlnary proceedings could safely be had
in Johnson county. New facts about the
war are cropping out every hour al
most. There will be plenty of evidence to
sustain the claim that instead of demand
ing their surrender, Angus and his party
gave battle with red and black flags
hoisted.
utilization of settlers with the rustlers is
given by a late arrival from the north. He
| says the rustlers are in the country all
winter and are very sociable, whereas the
cattlemeu are In Cheyenne and Chicago
and have no acquaintances with their
neigh bOrs. The rustlers attend dances and
make friends with the sons and daughters
of the farmers. Within the past few
months the rustlers detailed for recruits
having called on honest and neutral men,
and with a show of arms have demanded
an expression. OF course the settler would
say, Il am with you, boys" The cattle
mel have made mistakes. Last spring
| there was wholesale discharge OF sus-
| peCted men, and q number who were honest
| found themselves idle. All the cattlemen
are yet breathing war against the thieves.
! They say the civil authorities are power
| less, and something must be done. The
! leaders declare that but for fear of killing
| the day. There is the deepest hatred
against Angus. He brought recruits from
] Sheridan county by sending word that
| forty farmers had been killed.
| Later-Governor Barber limited that lats
news came in in the shape of a letter from
| the executive to the prosecutor of Johnson
| county. The latter is advised that the
! prisoners will be held 70 allow the institu-
| ton of proper legal proceedings. BY the
| governor there is urged the fullest and
| deepest investigation and the punishment
OF law breakers The letter is written
very carefully, and is clear and vigorous
l It cannot but meet with the approval of
citizens, including rustlers and white caps.
There is in plain sight an early ending of
the present trouble at least.

PARIS, Ida, April 25.-TSpecial telegram
to The HERALD. The Republican county
convention met here to-day in the court
house. Thirteen delegates present. David
Osborne was elected chairman; Gus
Spongberg, secretary. The business tran
sacted was to elect four delegates to the
state convention to be held at Pocatello on
May 8. The delegates elected were: G. C.
Patten, j. A. Bagley. William Hull and
Gus Spongberg.
The delegates were instructed to vote
at the state convention for Hon. E. Z.
Dubois and M. 3. Quinn to represent
Idaho in the national Republican conyen-
tion. The county convention did not elect
delegates for state conves ton to be held
at Moscow in August, although the con
vention was called for that purpose and
delegates elected from the different pre-
cincts. The reason for not doing so can
only be told by the Republican wire
pullers.
The convention to-day was anything but
harmonious; bad blood prevailed with the
leading Republicans.
DIR. G. A. Hoover stated that he would
not deliver another Republican speech in
this county. The cause for this is G. G.
