Fresh Testimony Showing That Their Au-

Fresh Testimony Showing That Their Au.
thor Was Sir Philip Francis.
An event Of the first magnitude is
about to take place. Lord Beaconsfeld
said that there were only two really
burning questions: Who wrote the let
ters of Juniusp Who was the Man
In the Iron Mask2 The former of the
two has at length been satisfactorily
cleared up, and the proofs, based ON re-
Gently discovered documents, will be
published in a volume to be issued short
iy by a great old firm, whose name will
be guarantee of the genuineness of the
discovery.
The public will of course guess that
this has been made through the mass of
manuscripts of Sir Philip Francis, which
came into the market some months back
In fact, it is said that the new matter
discovered leaves no doubt whatever
that Francis was the author of the fa-
nous letters. A grandson of Sir Philip
is said to be still alive, and to have been
Judge in Australia. The little clique
Of literary Australians assert that he is
in some way connected with the book
and are very jubilant at the prospect of
Australia once more coming as promi-
nently before English readers as she did
few years since.
The first of the letters of Junius ap-
peared more than century ago, on Jan
81, 1862 They were published at inter
walls from 1863 to 1772, when they were
collected by Woodfall and revised by
their author, whose name not even the
publisher ever knew. They were attrib-
uted to Sir Philip Francis, Warren
Hastings most bitter enemy; to Lord
George Germaine (Sackville), who was
dismissed the army for cowardice at
Mindon, and as minister was responsible
for repressive measures against the
American colonists; to Lord Temple, to
the great Burke himself and at least six
or seven others There are probably few
Of our readers who are not acquainted
with Macauley's summing up to prove
that Sir Philip Francis was Junius:
1.-THE external evidence is, we think,
such as would support verdict in a
civil-nay, in criminal-proceeding
The handwriting Of Junius is the very
peculiar handwriting of Francis, slightly
disguised. AS to the position, pursuits
and connections of Junius, there are five
marks, all of which ought to be found in
Junius. They are all five found in Fran
els. We do not believe that more than
two of them can be found in any other
person whatever" In dedicating his
collected letters to the English people
their writer said, 81 am the sole deposi-
tary of my own secret, and it shall per-
ish with me-" John Wilkes, writing to
Junius in 1771, called it "the most inn
portant secret of our times" And so it
has remained for a century and quar-
ter. But it is soon to be a secret no
longer.-St. James Gazette.

FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
The Bill to Occupy the Senate's
Attention.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The first two
days of the present week in the senate
will be taken up with the federal cleo
tions bill to the exclusion of everything
else except the routine morning busi-
ness, which will include fonly the intro
duction of bills and the presentation of
reports and petitions. The senate has
agreed that the discussion of the bond
resolution of Senator Stewart, which
under ordinary circumstances would
have right of way up to o'clock of each
day until disposed of. shall go over un-
til Wednesday to permit the uninter-
rupted continuation OF the debate on the
elections bill, upon which the vote will
be taken Tuesday afternoon. The
agreement provides that the senate shall
sit Tuesday until this bill is disposed of,
and in all probability it will be OBJ
served. There is a bare possibility,
however, that the debate may not be ex-
hausted by that time and that the dispo-
sition OF it will not be accomplished then,
as agreements of this kind in the senate
are not always considered as inyiolative.
There is also an agreement that the
discussion of the bond resolution shall
be resumed Oh Wednesday and the week
is likely to produce several speeches on
this question. Senator Berry has given
notice of an intention to call. up on
Tuesday the bill concerning the rights
of way granted To railroads through the

KILLED FOR REVENGE.
An Old Watchman, Of Chicago,
Murdered With q Bar.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-JOhn Roos, fifty
years old, aud watchman in the San
Diego building. 47 River street, was
murdered early this morning. his head
and face being pounded to jelly with
an iron bar. When E. g. Anderson.
engineer of the building, entered the
engine room at O'Clock this morning
he found Roos lying upon the floor and
breathing family. He was at once
taken to hospital. but died without
regaining consciousn ess. For time
the police were unable to determine
how the crime had been committed, but
finally found an iron bar, used in shak-
ing the furnace CRATES. 1t was covered
with blood and hair. and was undoubt-
edly the weapon used by the murderer.
Roos was sober. industrious man. and
there was no reason why any one should
attempt his life. The police are looking
for Charles Kern, a young man who
was watchman of the building before
Roos, and who was discharged for
cause. He is known to have been very
bitter against Reos for taking his place.
The officers believe the crime was CON-
mitted for revenge, Notwithstanding
that S11 in money. Roos's weekly salary,
was taken from the body.

1t is most remarkable that the

Nothing of the kind has occurred,
and the principal factors of the
grievous predicament, in which a
great and prosperous country as
ours now finds itself, can only be
sought for in the general upset
ting of values caused by grave
apprehension of the adoption of a
suicidal financial and commercial
policy by our law makers. The

ly unpleasant look, particularly
when added to the. general enfor-

THE CONCERT.

The concert and ball given last
Sunday by the Excelsior brass
band for it's benefit, was not the
success that was anticipated for it.
Several of the members of that
famous musical organization were
sick, the band consequently could
not play, For this reason the
programme was slightly changed
and reduced.
The concert part was as good as
could be expected under the cir
cumstances.
The audience was not as large
as it should have been, but was
fair.
The ball that followed was a
success in every particular, and
Notwithstanding the disadvan-
tages, the financial part of it came
out splendidly.
