ANARCHISTS STILL ACTIVE.

a Report OF More Dynamite Explosions In
Paris-A Threatening Letter.
PARIS, March Sit is affirmed in
certain quarters that there was an ex-
plosion of dynamite in this city late
yesterday afternoon at the building OF
the Credit Lyonaise, one of the largest
banking institutions in the city. The
exact amount of damage has not been
learned. Two persons are reported in
jurcd. Two arrests have been made.
The damage is believed to be compara-
lively light.
The director of the Paris customs
house has received letter, thus:
Notice-At an anarchist meeting 1t was de.
cided that the customs department is included
among those to be blown up BY dynamite.
Look out for yourself
Dynamite was discovered on the
pavement in front of the ministry of
justice.
The police have had reason to believe
that the anarchist named Leon Rava-
chol was the author of the Boulevard
st. German and Rue Clichy explosions.
and that he was ut the head of the
band of anarchists here. He has been
taken into custody.

The Troubled Behrlng Sea Waters Appar-
emily Calmed-LOrd Salisbury POurs ON
the OIL and the President and His Cabinet
Greatly Pleased.
WASHINGTON, March est is said on
good authority that the president and
his cabinet are well pleased with the
conciliatory tone of Lord Salisbury's
note of the Goth inst, especially as it is
held to concede the point that has been
the principal cause of contention, viz:
A renewal of the modus vivendi of the
last year for the protection of the seal
fisheries. This alleged concession is
believed to be implied in his proposition
to agree to modus in case the treaty
of arbitration is ratified, under the con-
dition that the United States govern
ment shall guarantee the other for dam
ages in causing suspension of sealing
operations.
The official, who has been consulted
by the president in regard to the nego-
tiations, said he was especially pleased
with Lord Salisbury's admission that
Great Britain would hold itself liable
for damages resulting to the United
States because of the modus vivendi in
the event that the verdict of the arbi-
tration is adverse to the contention. 1t
is said that taken all together Lord
Salisbury's note is satisfactory, as indi-
eating good prospect for an amicable
settlement of the questions ut issue.
Lord Salisbury's last communication
to the president stating the grounds on
which he would consent to renew the
modus vivendi was laid before the sem
ate soon after it went into executive
session. In transmitting the paper to
the senate the president added to the
formal letter the statement that Lord
Salisbury's reply was satisfactory to
this government and he was preparing
a suitable response.

STATUS OF SILVER.
An Effort VIII he Made to Again Got the
Free Coinage Bill Before the House.

An Effort VIII he Made to Again Get the
Free Coinage Bin Before the House.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The free
coinage advocates have not yet given up
the fight in the house Of representatives.
The controversy between Mr.. Bland and
Speaker Crisp was the subject Of general
comment yesterday and the former an
nounces that he will make no further
attempt to secure u decree of cloture
from the committee on rules, but Mr..
Pierce, of Tennessee, and other leaders
In the free coinage movement have again
taken courage and will make one SUI
preme attempt to force the committee
on rules to report q rule fixing day
and hour for final vote on the passage
Of the bill. There was a very light at
tendance at yesterdays session Of the
house, and it was impossible TO see all
the democratic members who last week
voted for the Bland bill, but up to the
hour of adjournment last evening be-
tween ninety and 100 names had been
secured to the petitions asking the com
mittee on rules to bring in a report for
further consideration and final vote
on the bill.
The total number of signatures re-
quired is 11s, or majority Of the demo-
cratic members of the house, and many
believe that it will be found impossible
to secure more than 100 names TO the
petition. This seems astounding, in
view of the fact that 14s members Of the
house voted against tabling the bill
last week, but it should be re-
membered that of these 14s members
eleven republicans and nine peo-
pies party representatives voted with
the free coinage members. Deducting
these twenty members, who would not
be eligible to sign the petition, the free
coinage people have 1913 members from
whom to obtain 11s signatures. As
there were ten absent members last week
paired favorable to the bill, there are
really 1873 members who can reasonably
be requested to sign the petition, but
even this shows the free coinage people
with narrow margin of but twenty
members.

NO FREE SILVER.

Probability That the Free Coinage Bill 10
Dcad-No Cloture Rule VIII Be Re-
ported.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Unless Mr..
Bland should be able to get the sigma
lures of the majority of the democrats
Of the house to n petition asking the
committee on rules to report a cloture
resolution the Bland bill will be laid on
the shelf. He will not be able to secure
the required number of signatures.
The silver men have understood that
n special order bringing in cloture
rule would be reported to the house to-
morrow and telegraphed to all their
men to be in the house tomorrow.
This morning Speaker Crisp informed
them that no special order would be
brought in unless n majority Of the
democratic members Of the house signed
petition that q cloture rule DO
brought in.
Mr.. Bland was very downcast over
the news that he might not be able to
force to a vote the measure he has
worked for so long. He admitted that
the report that the silver bill had met
with another set back and one which
practically meant it's death without u
final vote was we'll founded, but said
that the matter was not absolutely set
tied.
Mr.. Pierce was little more confident,
but he and Mr.. Bland said they would
have nothing to do with the circulation
Of any more petitions. One Of the other
silver men, however, attempted to get
signers to petition of the nature sug-
gested by the speaker, but met with
poor success, for, as already stated,
thirty-five of the men who have here
tofore voted for the silver bill refused
to sign it. Among the number were
Mr.. Compton, of Maryland, who not
only declined to sign the petition, but
gave notice that If any cloture resolu-
ton is brought in he will vote against
it The anti-silver men are exultant
over the change in the situation, but
the pronounced silver advocates are ex-
ceedingly irritated and angry and do
not hesitate to Indignantly protest
against the treatment they have re-
ceivad

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A member
of the cabinet said that he saw no rea-
son for supposing that the present
complications with Great Britain in re-
gard to the seal fisheries would not be
settled amicably. He added that
It would be the heighth Of folly
for two countries having so
much In common TO quarrel over

that Great Britain would either con.

of last year. or that II she did not do

AFFECTING THE UNION PACIFIC.

United states Circuit Court Renders an
Important Decision In Favor Of the Gov
eminent.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Justice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court, sitting as judge for the circuit
court embracing the district of Ne
braslxa, to-day rendered decision in
the suit brought by the United States
against the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. and the Union Pacific
Railway Co. to have de-
clared illegal and annulled the con-
tract between the Western Union and
the Union Pacific by which the former
operates the telegraph line along the
line of the railroad. The decision is in
favor of the United States, sets aside
the contract of 1881 between the two
companies and directs the Union Paci-
fic henceforth to operate its own tele-
graph line by its own agents and not
through the fundamentally Of the
Western Union.

THE DOODLE INVESTIGATION.
II Was the Cause OF an Attack on Report
err by the states Attorney.

II Was the Cause OF an Attack on Report
er by the States Attorney.
CHICAGO. March 31.-A new sensation
was furnished in the Doodle investiga-
ton. The fresh cause of excitement
was a personal encounter between
States Attorney Longenecker and Re-
porter Mark II. Salt. In moment of
uncomfortable rage, Judge Longeneck-
-er struck Salt in the face, kicked him
out of the criminal court building, and
ordered Il bailiff not to allow him to
come again within a rod of the states
attorneys Office.
Salt is the reporter who caused the
indictment against NJ. Il. Hereby, the
member of the board of education ac-
cused of conspiracy to bride in connec-
ton with school supply contracts. Last
evening Salts paper printed an article
abusing the states attorney, charging
him with retarding the prosecution in
the interest of the boodlers and assert
ing that he dared not force them to the
wall. 1t also accused Mr.. Longenecker
of being boodler himself, and having
within six months after being elected
states attorney built a house cost
ing 100000. Salt denied writing the
article, but later admitted being the
author of it.

York and Brooklyn. 1t was not much,
for when only 10 he was back in the
country teaching others and learning
from them rather than from books.
After year or so of teaching he be-
came carpenter for q time; then he
learned printing, working at the case
in New York and Brooklyn, and editing
papers in New Orleans and Huntington,
L. /. In 1s47-4s, with his brother,
Jefferson Whitman, he went on long
pedestrian tour of the country, working
his way along by doing carpen-
ter's jobs - tramping it, one
might almost say. For two years the
brothers wandered about, down the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, in Louisiana and
Texas during the Mexican war, along
the lakes into Canada, and down the
Hudson back to Long Island, where
Walt Whitman betook himself once
more to the printers case. In 1855
appeared his first and most IA
nous book, "Leaves of Grass"
a volume of rhapsodical poems, always
without rhyme, generally without
rhythm, dealing especially with inter
ests involved in American life and pro-
gress of time. The book called forth
great amount of praise and still great
er amount of blame. At the beginning
of the war Whitman was living in New
York, but his brother George was
wounded at Fredericksburg in 1862, and
the poet went to the front to nurse
him. He remained with the army I'M

THE DEFINING MURDER.
Statement Of the Physician Who Conducted
the Post Norton Examination.

Statement of the Physician Who Conducted
the Post Norton Examination.
LIVERPOOL, March 30.-Dr. Hutchin-
son, one of the medical men who con-
Quoted the post norton examination Of
the bodies of Mrs. Deening and her four
children, which were found buried under
the floor at Dinham villa, Rain Hill, has
told to a representative of the Associated
Press the method followed by the muir
derer. He said that the crime discloses n
calculating wickedness and cool, heart
less savagery that is almost beyond DE
lief. The work Of the murderer was
that of an expert. Only in one casa
was the stroke that caused death more
than sufficient for that purpose. Each
stroke severed vital organ, and no
more might have been accomplished by
q surgeon or butcher who knew his
business well.
The children, whose well nOurished
condition and well ordered clothing
showed the good and careful treatment
of their mother, had partaken of their
meal. The mother, too, had eaten her
supper. The mother was first called from
the room in which she was with the chill
dren into the room where the murderer
awaited her. This is shown from the
position of the wound that killed her,
and the fact that one Of her shoes was
OF and the other partly unlaced.
Then the children were called one by
one to meet their death.
One other significant and queer fnct
Is that, although the throats Of four Of
the five victims were cut, on none Of the
bodies or clothing was there trace OF
blood, which leaves dreadful inference
regarding the deliberate and calm care
fitness with which the slaughter was
committed.

It Is Thought That Congress May Adjourn

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Springer
free wool bill will be brought to vote
April % or % unless there should be a
hitch in the present programme. The
binding Irvine and cotton bagging bills
will then be pushed to a vote as
soon as possible to be followed per-
haps by other specific bills attacking
separate items of the Mckinley
law. With these measures disposed of
in the house and the appropriation bills
in excellent shape so far as the house is
concerned, the democratic majority of
the ways and means committee believe
that an early adjournment of congress
is possible, and accordingly discussed
the adjournment question to
some extent yesterday. No conclusion
was reached, but the sentiment was
favorable to June as the date Of final
adjournment. This is an unusually
early date for adjournment and there
are many persons who believe final adj
jOurnment will be delayed many weeks
after the date named, but still the senti-
ment expressed by the majority mem
bers Of the ways and means committee
is significant as showing what they be-
Heve Is possible.

TREATY RATIFIED.
BY u Unanimous Vote the Senate Ratlfies
the Behring Sea Treaty.

BY q Unanimous Vote tho Senate Ratlfie0
the Behring Sea Treaty.
WASHINGTON. March 3O.-Two hours
spent in executive session by the senate
yesterday afternoon sufficed to complete
the consideration of the Behring sea
arbitration treaty and it was ratified by
unanimous vote ut the conclusion OF
the discussion.
The debate itself was without incident.
Nj. Sherman, who had the treaty in
charge, presented two amendments
which it was believed to be desirable
to incorporate in the document and
they were agreed to.
One of them provides that the argu-
ments and proceedings before the arbi.
traitors shall be in the English language.
This amendment was suggested to Sir
Julian Pauncefote day or two ago.
He said that it appeared proper, but
that he should like to secure the formal
assent of Lord Salisbury to 1t. This as
sent came in the form of q cablegram
which was shown to the president by
the British minister and was at once
bChO " OOhoJOA WAO NoaoSNe
the necessary amendment to be incor.
porated in the treaty.
Exactly the same procedure was fol-
lowed in the case of the second amend
ment, which changes article II of the
treaty so as to require the arbitratators
to make their decisions If possible with
in four months instead of three from
the close of the arguments Of council.
This change was believed to be desir-
able in view of the magnitude Of the
subject and the enormous volume Of
testimony to be considered by the
arbitrator. The opposition to the
ratification, which had been very much
weakened yesterday, completely disap-
peared to-day and when the question
was taken directly on the resolution Of
ratification there were no nays, while
the ayes numbered Ts, an unusually
large vote in the senate.

DEATH OF A JOURNALIST.
DIR. Morrison MunfOrd, the Well Known
Kansas City Editor, Dead.

DIR. Morrison Munford, the Well Known
Kansas City Editor, Dead.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 2S.-Dr.
Morrison Munford, for nearly twenty
years the owner and editor of the Kan
sas City Times, died yesterday after
neon at 4:2O ut his residence in this city
at the corner of Eighth and Vine streets,
from pneumonia, after an illness Of five
weeks. He was conscious to the last
and his death was painless and peace
full.
DIR. Munford had for years been suf-
ferer from pleurisy. During the past
winter the attacks Of this malady had
been acute and frequent. He was sew.
eral times confined to the house by
them, and venturing out again before
quite recovered induced return Of the
ailment. In January last, after particu-
larly severe visitation, he left his home
in q storm, bent upon important bust
ness, and upon his return was confined
with Q violent attack of the grip. It
was early in February before he
had even partly recovered strength
from this last assault, but the pro
jected issue Of his newspaper, the
World, stimulated him again to venture
out of doors under unfavorable condi-
tons and about February 20 he was
seized with incipient pneumonia and
his physicians peremptorily ordered
him to keep within.
DR.. Munford had not quite attained
his fiftieth year.
