THE G. A. R. AND THE c. Y.-I.ee
camp, Confederate Veterans, Of Rich
mond, had meeting Friday night that
is said to have afforded some excite
ment to those veterans who were pre-
sent. A letter from G. a. r. post in
Chicago, inquiring whether or not the
camp endorsed the sentiments uttered
by Rev. r. c. Cave in his address at
the unwilling in Richmond on May 80,
was the subject of a debate that became
intensely heated. 1t is also understood
that enclosed in the letter was an e1-
tract from a northern newspaper de-
bouncing Mr.. Caves address and the
remarks of General Rosser at the
cavalry reunion on the Both. 1t de-
veloped that similar letters had been
received by individuals in Richmond
from business men in the north, and
some of these were described as being
semi-threatening in their tone. One
member stated that in letter he had
received from northern business firm
he was asked if he endorsed Mr.. Caves
utterances. He replied that he did en-
dorse all that Mr.. Cave had said. Some
of the members wanted to send the post
red-hot reply informing the federal
veterans that the camp approved of
every sentence spoken by Mr.. Cave.
But others contended that the whole
thing was being done in the hope of
making political capital and that no
reply should be sent. Those who took
this view of the matter contended that
the camp could not afford to be drawn
into controversy with the post in
Chicago. After much discussion on the
subject, the conservative faction had
the letter laid on the table until the
next meeting The camp then decided
to keep all that was said and done
secret, but the proceedings leaked out.

Proposition.
San Francisco, Oct. 22.-Advices by
the steamer Australia from Honolulu
say on the last steamer from Victoria
man named Sanford B. Fleming at
rived in Honolulu, and since that time
he has been in close communication
with the government. 1t has recently
become known that he is here in the
interest of the English government for
the purpose of seeing what concessions
can be obtained from Hawaii in the
event of cable touching here. Elem
ing made a proposition to the govern
ment to cede Necl1ar island to Great
Britain, but this the government does
not wish to do. Fleming has also asked
for the exclusive right to land cable
in Hawaii and this also the govern
ment objects to.
The matter came up in secret session
of the councils at their last meeting
and although what was decided has
not been divulge6 enough has been
learned to show that Fleming will not
get all he asks for. Minister of FL
nance Damon is said to have wanted
to grant everything Fleming asked for.
but in this he was opposed by Minister
of Foreign Affairs Hatch, who claims
the cable would have to come here
sooner or later anyway and it made no
difference whether the government
gave any money or privilege to the
English company or not. He proposed
submitting the whole matter to the
United States, and it is supposed this
was the decision arrived at. This af-
ternoon the convention for nominating
candidates for senators and representa-
tives In the republics legislature will
be called. There is no opposition in
the field, except in the annexation
party, and a very quiet time is OK
pected. The elections are now only two
weeks distant.

Union Pacific. At the outset an add

associated with Receiver Trumbull in
the management of the property.
Mr.. Anderson is one of the govern

government for a long time at 8 per
cent interest, which meets the approval
of the stockholders of that company.
The foreclosure and the appointment
Of a Union Pacific receiver for the Gulf
road will be stoutly resisted.

Cartridges Arranged to Blow Up One Hun
dred Laborers Employed on . sewer.-
Tho Dynamiter Discovered just ~ He
Was About to Commit the Deed.

New York, Oct. 22.-One hundred It
alians sleeping in a temporary bar
racks, mile from New Rochelle, had
narrow escape from death by dyna-
mite, as the result of a race prejudice,
last night. The men have been en-
ployed as laborers or n sewer near
Glen Island. Conflicts between them
and Irish laborers have been frequent
OF late. A pitched battle was fought
three weeks ago, and since that time
the trouble has been almost continuous.
Saturday night Patrick Riley got the
key to the tool box and after all the
workmen had gone home to took from
1t nine dynamite cartridges, the dyna-
mite battery and all the wires used in
blasting which he carried to his home.
About 8 o'clock last night he went
with them to the Italians shanty.
Riley, who is an expert dynamiter,
put the nine cartridges under different
parts Of the shanty, connected them by
wires with the battery which he had
set about 100 yards away. A night
Waterman in the employ of the sewer
contractors happened to come along
about this time, and, seeing Riley,
stopped to find out what he was doing.
In the dark he stumbled against one of
the wires. The Waterman made run
for Riley and the two soon engaged in
a desperate fight. The Italians in the
shanty were attracted by the noise and
ran out to see what was the matter.
When they learned that Riley had
planned to blow them up it was with
difficulty that they were restrained
from killing him. Riley was finally
landed in the New Rochelle lookup.
Riley says he is only sorry that he
was discovered SO soon, as in another
minute it would have been all over and
he would have then been satisfied.
Riley was arraigned to-day and held
without ball for the action of the grand
Jury.
