ment attributed to him by the Leader of
Des Moines, yesterday, to the effect that
he and L. V. Dcbs had considered plot to
lead rebellion against the government at
the time of the big railroad strike in Chi
cago last summer.
He denied that he had said that the
scheme was considered. He said, further,
that plan of rebellion was submitted to
Debs himself and the other strike leaders,
the details Of which had been partially
worked out by two Chicago attorneys,
whose names he refused to reveal.
The scheme embraced the general de-
tails outlined in the Leader interview with
him, including the establishment of pro-
visional government in the West, with a
plan of campaign toward the East.

officer Peterson, Pardoned.
Also the Philadelphia Burglar, william
WoodE--Three Other Pardons Expected

Also the Philadelphia Burglar, william
Woods--Throe Other Pardons Expected
Governor Reynolds has pardoned
Lewis q. Davis, the murderer Of Police
officer Andrew L. Peterson, and also
William alias Jacob Woods, the Phila-
delphia burglar.
The murder of Officer Peterson by
young Davis, who was not of age at the
time, was one of the most dastardly in
the criminal records of the city. Davis
has completed 0 years, 8 months and Is
days OF his imprisonment.
Davis trial in the county court here,
when he was defended BY Levi c. Bird,
is remembered as one of the most re-
markablc of the criminal cases of this
city. Day after day the court was
crowded. Public interest was intense.
This eliminated on December 9Th, 1885,
when the jury disagreed. Tho peculi-
arity OF the disagreement was that those
who held out dill 50 because they wero
firm in the conviction that the murder
was one Of the first degree. On the
second trial, September Esd, 1885, Davis
pleaded guilty to murder in the second
degree and he was given life sentence.
He is now in his Both year.
The second man pardOned is William
alias Jacob Woods, the Philadelphia
burglar, sentenced November 23d, 1891,
to five years imprisonment for robbery
at the house Of Robert Smith, Four
teenth and Rodney streets. Woods has
completed three years and five months
OF his sentence of five years.

PARIS, Jan. IA bomb explosion
occurred at about midnight in front of
No. 60 Rue Monceau, and is believed to
have been the work of Anarchists.
Nobody was killed. but considerable
damage was done in the vicinity.
The bomb is described as being of the
reversible sort, chiefly charged with
dynamite packed in gunpowder, and
concealed in an English tin cracker-box,
strengthened by thick band of alumni
mum. In other respects the bomb is
said to have been charged and prepared
in manner similar to the one used by
Valiant in the Chamber of Deputies.
The police, at present, have no clue to
the culprit, although some policemen
on duty in adjacent streets saw d man
running swiftly away q short time pre-
vious to the explosion. In spite of this
fact and although the morning was so
young the policemen seem to have
made little or no effort to stop the run
ming man who got away safely.
The police are maintaining the usual
reticence in regard to the facts in the
case, thus making it probably more
difficult to trace the matter to its foun-
tain head. 1t appears, however, that a
porter on duty at No. 65 Rue Monceau,
just before midnight, was informed by
passerby that a uspicious-looking
parcel had been placed on the window
ledge of the ground floor. The porter,
in alarm, rushed to the spot and seizing
the parcel he hurled it into the middle
of the street. A terrific explosion fol.
lowed, and showers of shot were hurled
in all directions, breaking all the
windows in the vicinity, although they
were protected by strong, wooden shut
tiers.
Following the explosion there was a
panic in the neighborhood, particularly
among the people residing in the lmme-
diate vicinity of Nos. IS and SO Rue
Monceau. The latter house was formerly
the residence of Prince Victor Napoleon
and its front was considerably damaged.
The explosion of the bomb threw
several large paving stones into the
middle of the roadway, blew the corners
off the pavement and strewed the street
with broken glass. In addition holes
were made in the stone work of several
of the houses.
The porter, it appears, was warned by
valet who was returning home and
who noticed the parcel on the window
ledge. In an interview, published in the
MdtiR this morning, the valet is quoted
as saying that when he saw the tin box
on the window ledge he hurriedly
entered the house and informed the
porter that there was an extraordinary
parcel on the window. The porter
FASTENED out into the street, took the
box and threw it as far as he could. The
two men then entered the house and
closed the door. A moment later there
was tremendous report, as loud as il a
cannon had been fired in the street
Neither of the men noticed fuse at.
tached to the box.
The police express the opinion thai
the explosion was objected against M
Athalin, the magistrate who conducted
the inquiries into the outrages com
United by Ravachol and other Anarch,
lists, who lives in the Rue Verzelay, fac
ing the scene of the explosion.

Last Tuesday--His Speech From the
Throne.
BERLIN, Jan. l5.-The PrusSian Diet
was opened at noon to-day, in the White
Hall Of the palace by Emperor William.
His Majesty read the speech from the
throne lie began by saying that the
Prussan budget showed deficit, which
he hoped would disappear OH the accom-
plishment of the proposed financial re-
forms by the Reichstag.
After announcing bills for the extension
of state railways and other domestic
measures, the Emperor drew attention to
the fact that the heavy gales and floods of
the last few weeks has caused great de-
yastation on the Prussian Islands of the
coast and in the North Sea, adding
that the necessary steps would be taken
for the adoption of measures to repair the
damage.
Regarding husbandry, his majesty re-
GREETED that its condition continued TO be
unlavorable, saying; TO counteract this
will lie the object of my unremittirg
patcrnul solicituue and the most pressing
duty of my government"
In conclusion the Emperor appealed to
all patriotic men for concord and unani-
nous cooperation against the growing
attacks upon the institutions OF the State.
