A MYSTERY NO LONGER.
Perpetraior Of a Bold Outrage Of last Ma
vember Under Arrest

PROVIDENCE. March 2s.-The mystery OF
the Pontiac robbery and shooting has at
last been solved. On the evening of Nov.
81 Of last year s.party Of three men called
at the store of James Fisk In the village
OF Pontiac and, after making purchases
which were calculated to determine where
the money was kept and who was about
the premises, one of the trio engaged the
attention Of old man Fisk while another
attempted to rob the till, the third keeping
guard.
A noise was made, which aroused the old
mars suspicion, and an alarm was given.
His son, Albert Fisk, who was on his way
to the store, responded, and In the tussle
which followed he was shot and fell, as his
father then believed, dead. Frantic ut the
fate Of his son, he allowed the villains to
escape.
On the 22d inst, Harry Lynch and an
other were arrested for stealing a horse
and buggy. Lynch was recognized as an old
crook by the officers. He has now been
identified by James l.. Fisk, who was also
shot during the encounter in the store,
and by several Pontiac people as one Of the
perpetrators Of the outrage. He II held In
5000 for the grand jury.

Foreign Mission Candi-
dates Not Satisfied.
MAY Be SOME HOLD-0VERS,


WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The candidates
for the two remaining frst-class missions,
London and ST. Petersburg, as well as
those who are aspiring to the diplomatic
posts in Europe Of less grade, like Vienna,
are very much disturbed at the semi
official announcement that Colonel Fred
Grant will remain at the Austrian court
for some time longer. The additional in
timation in administration circles is that
Minister Robert Lincoln Is likely to con-
tinue at the court of St. James for the
present. This place, IL was understood,
was reserved for Pennsylvania man, and
the names Of John Cadwallader and
Wayne MacVeagh have been associated
with this appointment.
1t was supposed that ex-Secretary Bay
ard would be rendered this high mission
on some other Of equal importance, but the
eN-secretary's friends say that the same OBJ
lection which he had to the acceptance of
cabinet portfolio would apply to this ap-
pointment, that

None of the South American missions

commercial affairs, and, IL possible, me.
who are familiar with the language Of
those countries
The statement that Chill had requested
that no naturalized American should be
sent there to represent the United States
in diplomatic capacity is not true. Rut
enough is known concerning the views Of
the government of that country to have it
understood at Washington that a minister
who is an American in all his feelings and
sentiments would be more agreeable. This
diplomatic hint is not needed

ILLEGAL REGISTRATION.
Startling Cases Of crookedness Brought 10
Light In Rhode Island.

PROVIDENCE, March 2S.-The report OF
the Rhode Island deputy supervisors on
the qualification of personal property and
real estate voters, ordered to be made by
Chief Supervisor John L. Blodgett, are
now coming in, and remarkable state Of
affairs is developed.
Almost the first thing that was discov.
cred was that system Of colonizing had
been carried on, for how long could not be
determined, by which city council tickets
could be elected People were found to be
voting in wards where they did not reside.
while others were floaters Of the handiest
and liveliest nature.
From one deputy was received an en-
velope yesterday afternoon containing 10
reports from the Third ward. or these 10
said that the alleged personal property
voters were not to be found.
From the Second district Of the Seventh
ward there came reports Of % men who
had moved out of the ward some time or
another, and of these, three had never been
naturalized, and, consequently, could vote
nowhere In the state.
The same kind Of reports are coming In
from other wards and cities, and it Is ex-
pected that the towns, which are under the
supervisors care, will show similar state
of affairs.

very short session In which there was
little done except corporation business.
Among the acts introduced was one by
Senator Easton to incorporate the Blair

socket arose and In the easiest way imag-
Unable moved that the committee on spec

with on the resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution providing

Mr.. Brown made an eloquent speech In
support Of his motion, calling attention
to the fact that 1t was necessary to have
the report at once In order to get 1t be-
fore the people on April5.
Mr.. Brown was supported by Messrs.
Mccarthy, Greene, Owen and Baker.
Mr.. J. l.. Jenksl of Pawtucket, who Ia
Chairman of the committee In charge OF
the resolution, pleaded that the commit
tee be allowed its own time, although he
admitted that a report was agreed upon
and that 1t was intended to have submit
ted the matter last Friday.
Mr.. Brown shortly after withdrew his
motion and seconded a motion of Mr..
Baker to excuse the committee for half an
hour at the end Of which time 1t should
be prepared to report.
This motion, after a long discussion
during which Mr.. Wilson demanded that
1t be voted down, was declared lost on a
viva voce vote.
Mr.. Brown then moved that the COM
mittee be directed to report tomorrow
morning at II 40 o'clock.
Mr.. Wilson left hts seat and crossed
over to Mr.. Jenks and ordered him to OPP
pose even that.

of the whole matter by Messrs. j. L.
Jenks, Z. II. Wilson and q. A. Wilson, on
the Republican side and by Messrs.
Brown, Mccarthy, Greene, Mulholland,
Baker and Owen, the roll was called and
and the motion was declared lost, 28 yot

The vote was too close for comfort and
the committee took the hint and left the
House for the committee room, and In
about 10 minutes came back and reported,
recommending the indefinite postpone.
