gard to Ills connection with an alleged in

ton in one of the departments in this city.
Senator Blackburn says: I'm 1856 estim-
able young lady. who then resided in Wood
ford county. Ny. applied to me for assist
ance in her effort to secure employment in
one of the departments in Washington. 1
said to her she should apply to Col Brock
tnridge. member of Congress from her dis
trict. A few days afterward the lady came
to me and asked me to take charge of her
application. / asked her il she had seen
Col. Breckinridge. She said she had seen
him L again said to her that she must
have his recommendation the representa-
tive of the district from which she came,
and | urged her to go at once and get his
Endorsement of her application. She said to
me she could not go again to Col. Brecxin-
ridge. that his manner was offensive that
she was not willing to speak to him again
Il went to Col Breckinridge and with
some feeling repeated to him what the
lady had told me of his treatment of her
He denied the statement. a few days
afterward the lady called to see me- and
said IL was possible she had misunderstood
iSol Breckinridge's conduct and asked that
y should dismiss the matter from my mind.
My late colleague. Senator Beck and
Joined in recommending the lady's ap-
pontment. and she secured employment in
one of the departments
In the summer of 1883 il was br ought
to my attention that conversations be-
tween myself and others rela ting to this
matter were being repeated with inaccu-
Tacies. and In this form was gaining pub
licity to the injury of Col. Brackinridge
j recalled the fact that / had iniiscreetly
In the freedom of private talk repeated the
conversation between the lady and myself
and had mentioned the circumstances I'M
der which had brought the matter to Col
Disadvantages attention.
Il felt indignant that my friend had re-
peated a private conversation. as II seemed
to me. for the purpose of gratify ing a per-
sondl resentment. Col. BRECKENRIDGE had
denied the lady's statement and The lady
hal said to me she might possibly have
been mistaken and had asked me not to
think of IL again. Under these ciicum-
Stances and with the view of Withholding
the facts from any wider publicity | wrote
the letter of August u. 1855. contenting
myself with mentioning the Inaccuracies of
the reported conversation between my
friend and myself and expressing my sense

SEIZURE OF THE IrATA.
The United States Must Pay Damages
for the Act.

Washington, Feb. 13.-A decision was
rendered to-day by the mixed commission
to which was referred the claim of the
South American Steamship Company
against the United States overruling the
demurrer iuterposed by the United States
counsel to the claim for S235, 900 damages
on account of the seizure of the steamer
ltata. The demurrer was based upon the
contention of the United States that the
seizure of the vessel was made with
probable cause, f" and that, the Itata be-
ing in the employ temporarily of the
junta governmeHy.At Iquique, syhe gov
ernment of Shile13sas responsible for any
damage that might have been inflicted on
the steamship company.
The counsel for the Chilean
government combatted this propo-
sition with the argument that
the Itata had ceased to be in the employ
of the provisional government when she
became unable to complete her undertake
ing, and that the doctrine Of probable
cause could not be applied because the
vessel has been released by the United
States courts on the ground that no law
had been violated. This decision virtually
leaves nothing further for determination
but the amount of damages the United
States must pay for the seizure Of the
vessel

PARIS BOMB THRowER.


Breton Well Educated and Aocus-
toned to Decent Life.
Paris, Feb. 13.-Breton, the bomb
thrower, admitted to Judge Meyer this
evening that he had given a wrong ac-
count Of himself. He gave a number OF
names, all of which are believed to be
false. Detective Houillier believes that
Breton had just arrived from London.
The prisoner speaks English and wears
an English shirt and other linen marked
"a. M" His body was very clean when
examined and otherwise showed that he
had been accustomed to a decent life.
His education is above the average. On
seeing Detective Houillier on Monday
night, Breton exclaimed: "Hello, Houil-
lier. it's you, know you we'll" Detective
Houillier admits his belief that he is on
the verge of an important discovery In
connection with the case.
The Presse says tnat Public Prosecutor
Bertrand has received number of threat
ening letters, and that his residence is
now guarded.
WAR ON THE ANARCHISTS.
In the Chamber of Deputies this after
noon, M. Bouge, deputy for Marseilles, re-
ferred TO the manifestations which have
been made at the grave of the assassin
valiant, and asked If these were to be
allowed to continue. He spoke in strong
disapproval of the liberation OF
the red flag and communist cries,
and said that after the latest outrage the
government should act with courage, and
strike at the anarchist evil with exem-
plary severity. Cheers from ALL save
the socialist benches The government,
M. Bouge said further should put a stop
to all manifestations against the law, even
though they might be led, as was recently
the case, by q Partisan member of this
body.
RAYNAL REPLIES.
M. Raynal, minister of the interior, re-
piled TO M. Bouge. He said that the gov
ernment was sufficiently armed to cope
with the evil and would encourage the
police relentlessly 10 hunt down the wild
beasts of anarchy. To show it's earnest
ness in this respect the government had
bestowed the cross of the Legion OF
Honor upon the policeman who was shot
while bravely attempting to arrest the
criminal who was guilty OF the bomb
outrage at the Hotel Terminus. This
announcement was received with pro-
longed cheers.
EVERY PRECAUTIoN TAKEN.
M. Raynal said that every precaution
had been taken to guard against further
outrages. The government would not
tolerate further anarchist manifestations
such as those mentioned, and it would act
without faltering. He then expressed
the hope that there would be an end to
the maudlin sentimentality which has
been displayed by some of US" Cheers
from all parts of the house except the
socialist benches, who remained silentl.
M. Coutant, the Partisan deputy who was
mentioned by Mr.. Bouge as having led an
unlawful manifestation, explained that he
had simply accompanied to the csmetery
the remains Of a comrade who had form
erly participated in socialist manifesto
tions. He concluded by condemnlng an
archy and was cheered by majority Of
the mem bers

MINERS CAUGHT BY A CAVE IN.
Thirteen Hemmed in and Their Chance
of Escape Slim.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 19.-An extensive
cave in occurred at the Gaylord mine of
the Kingston Coal Company at Plymouth
this morning. A large number of miners
and laborers were at work under a
section of the roof which has, for some
time past, been considered weak Without
any warning whatever, the roof, consist
ing of rock and iron, fell in. 1t is not
known as yet whether the men were
killed outright, but it is known that thir-
teen of them are hemmed in in one of
the gangways. The air supply is now
shut off and the chance of living for any
length of time is very small. An army of
rescuers are hard at work trying to reach
the entom bed men. The relatives of the
men shut in the mine are gathered about
the place and their lamentations are pitt
full
The section Of the mine in which the
men are imprisoned is a portion of the
Baltimore vein, which at this point is
very thick, and they were engaged in
placing large timbers as a prop and sup
port Tor the roof.
are married and leave families, and an
other is a widower with family of chill
dren.
NO HOPE OF RESCUE.
There seems to be no possibility of res
cuing them even if they were not crushed
to death at once.
A number of mine foremen and their as
sistants, led by John B. Davis, superin-
tendent of the Gaylor workings, who had
been in the mine all the afternoon, came
out at o'clock and reported that all the
outlets in the mine are closed also the
rock tunnel and all the entrances. The
cave-in covers an area of about a mile, it
having extended since noon to-
day, and effects the central
portion of the town of Plymouth.
A few cracks can be seen on the surface,
but this has not become seriously af-
fected as yet. The rescuing party were
Obliged to retreat on account of the fur
ther caving in of the mine.

WRIGHT HTMAKESANEWPOINT
The Counties Must Foot Their Own
Bills in the WayCrOSS Farce.

The Controller Makes the Point That
the Various Sheriffs Were Acting
Only in Their Own Jurisdiotion-He
Declines to CountersiRn the Cover
nor's Warrant for $769.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 13.-Another hitch
has arisen between the governor and the
controller general in regard to the pay
ment of executive warrants drawn to
meet the expenses OF the Waycross cam
paign against the pugilists. While the
new complication does not call in question
the legality of the governors conduct,
that point having been decided already, it
is likely to cause more real trouble than
there has yet come of the controversy. Il
is now the county treasurers OF the
several border counties who will be heard
from. Under the present opinion
Of the controller general these
counties will be called upon to
pay something toward defraying the cam
paign expenses. To-day, when the gov
ernor's warrant for $76S, drawn to meet
the expenses of the sheriffs and deputies
who participated in the Waycross epi-
sode, was presented, Controller Wright
declined to countersign it. and it was not
paid. He takes the position that this
money ought to come out of the treasures
Of the counties affected and in that light
put the case before the governor. The
controllers position is that the sherlffs
and deputies were acting within their
own Jurisdiction only, and therefore the
state has nothing to do with paying
them. Attorney General Terrell has
been asked for his opinion on the ques-
tion. If, as is anticipated, he sustains
Controller Wright the counties OF Glynn,
Wayne, Camden and Walton will nave to
go down in their pockets to foot the
sheriffs' bills.
Up to date bills to the amount of 1880
incrred by the Waycross episode have
been presented and all are not in yet.
The total will probably exceed 81 900.

LAYING OUT THE LOTTERY.
The Honduras Concern Ruled Out Of
the Mails.

Washington, Feb. 19.-As a result of
the report received at the post Office de-
partment to-day from Inspector Dice,

to investigate the legality OF the Hon
duras Lottery Company in its relations
with the postal service, the Postmaster
General this afternoon issued what are
known as fraud" orders against Paul
Conrad, president of the National Hon
duras Lottery Company, the Graham

ing the delivery to the lottery company.

ulent' on the envelope. Orders were also

New Orleans and San Francisco
to refuse to certify money orders payable
to the parties connected with the lottery
in Honduras or elsewhere outside of the
United States. Tho postoffice inspector
for the district will be instructed to take
the matter before the United States
court and the district attorney in order
