PART OF A VAST CONSPIRACY.

Thought that the Paris Outrage Origi-
nased Among Anarchists In London.
PARIS, Feb. 15-It Is believed now
that the outrage committed by Emile
Henry at the Cafe of the hotel Termi-
nus, on Monday night, when twenty.
four persons were injured by the explo-
sion OF bomb thrown by him, was a
part Of vast anarchist conspiracy. 1t
is thought that the plot was perpetra ted
in London and that twenty three mon,
among them Henry, were assigned to
execute the outrages.
Judge Meyer. the examining magis.
trate, has been questioning Henry all
day. The prisoner refuses to reply to
the questions regarding mis- acquaint-
ances in England, and declines 10 give
any details of his sojourn in that
country
When he does speak on any subject
he expresses himself calmly, but he
has again assumed his reticent air. and
all efforts to worm information out of
him have failed. IL had been learned
that he vas one of the best pupils at
the Paris College.
La Patrie says that the bomb thrown
by Horny was loaded with nitric acid
and chlorate powder, which formed a
most dangerous combination. The
paper says it was miracle that the
bomb did not explode while Henry was
carrying it,

from that vessel several sailors who had
been attacked by yellow fever. The
men were taken to the yellow fever

of the launch took her close to the
anchorage of the merchant fleet. Lying
among the merchantmen was tho insur-

The latter fred three shots at the
launch, but all three went wild, doing
no damage. The captain of the Marie
afterward declared that he did not know
that the launch was American This
statement, however, is not worthy of
belief as the launches belonging to the
American warships are easily distin-
guishable from every thing else.
After landing her sick sailors the

The friends of tho administration
were no less energetic than Hill, but
the helping hand OF Repu blicans, such

selves with that and making no effort
to make proselytes among their col
leagues.
Last night q careful canvass was
made of the Senate by leading
Senator, and the vote as compiled by
him shows 43 voted against Peckham,
81 for him and IL doubtful. II this list

matter contained in tho letters that had
been sont to the committee and made
an argument against the fitness of
Peckham for the high place to which
he had been appointed, calling the spe
cial attention Of the Senate to what he
termed tho prejudiced character of the
mind Of the nominee.
Pugh's speech was addressed mainly
to the legal qualifications Of Peckham
Pugh spoke for an hour and half,
making q temperate, but. as Senators
pronounce it, strong speech Ho was
followed briefly by Harris (Dem ),
Tenn in support OF the confirmation.

to some of the arguments of Pugh and
made an earnest speech in behalf of tho

of an hour, and at $40 was followed by

CLINTwooD, Va, Feb. 15.-TuE TUNES
correspondent has just learned that
Orb" Floming, q brother to the out
laws, Cal and Henan, shot and killed a
woman in the vicinity Of Pound Gap,
where the Mullins family was murdered
in tho spring OF '92. This woman was
tho widow OF Wilson Mullins, one OF
tho murdered parties OF that family.
Tho report says that she was about
the premises OF her home, and was shot
by some one secreted in the brush some
distance from the house, and circum-
stances point TO Fleming as the perpe-
traitor Of the foul crime. The theory OF
tho motive is that rs Mrs. Mullins was
the material witness against Henan
Fleming, sho WAS killed to destroy her
evidence against him
Young Fleming is a desperate charac.
ter, and is following the footsteps of his
brothers, despite their terrible fate, and
mis- course will inevitably bring him to
the same end. lie is not more than
twenty years OF age.

OF this place, has purchased farm

move to 1t rs soon as he can have the

thinks it will prove more corgenial.
