Dynamitcrs Arrested.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Rotterdam say that
two more presumed dynamiters have
been arrested in that city.
GLASGOW, Sept 14-Bell, the alleged
dynamiter, was arraigned this morning
and remanded until Wednesday. In.
eliminating documents were found in
his bag, showing his connection with
lyman, the notorious mo. l." Bell
declares that he is an American citizen.
LONDON, Sept. IA report is in
circulation here that it was the inten-
ton of lyman to perpetrate an outrage
at Balmoral Castle during the visit of
the Gar to Queen Victoria at that
place. The rumor is probably due to
the story told by lyman during his
tour OF the Continent that he was o
courier of the Queen entrusted with an
autograph letter from her majesty to be
delivered to the Car at Copenhagen.
Among the papers found in possession
of Bell when he was arrested at Glas.
gow are several kilograms from lyman,
in one of which Bell is instructed to
come to Boulogne and leave the rot
ten stuff Qmeaning the explosives) be-
hind" After being remanded in the
police court at Glasgow this morning
Bell was removed to Jail and locked in
a cell. He Immediately became great
" excited and a physician was sum-
moned to attend him. The Scotland
yard officials have directed the Glas-
gov authorities to send Bell to London.

The ELECTION in Maine.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 14.-Msine to-
day elects q Governor, congressman,
members of the Legislature and county
officers. Reports from all over the State
give the weather conditions as cloudy
and threatening rain. With q perfect
organization, ample resources and a
united front the republicans have had
everything in their favor against the
more or less disrupted democracy. Un-
der these conditions they expect to
carry the State by $4,000 to $4,000 plu.
rality, many setting it at even higher.
The democrats generally concede $4,000
to 1000 plurality for the republicans.
VAUDEVILLE, Me, Sept. Iva
terville's vote is coming out slowly.
Not one-third of the total had been
cast at noon. The prospects are good
for large republican plurality.
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 14.-All con-
ditions are favorable for large vote.
In all the wards voting proceeded
quietly during the forenoon and it is
estimated that the vote will be larger
than in 1892. Republicans are evidently
out-polling the democrats in the ratio
of three to one.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
New York Democrats.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. livery few
delegates to the democratic State con-
vention had arrived here up to noon
and all is conjecture as to the outcome
of the convention, further than that the
number of delegates who nave been in
structed for Bryan and Sewall and free
silver assures the endorsement of the
Chicago ticket and platform. James
w. Ridgway, ex-district attorney of
Brooklyn, arrived this morning. He is
the only candidate for the gubernato.
rial nomination in the field. The only
other candidates who are talked of are
Frederick Cook, of Rochester, John
Boyd Thacher, of Albany. and William
Suzer, of New York. The indications
now are that this convention will be re-
markable chiefly for the absence of the
big leaders of the party Of this State.
Congressman Sulzer is expected this
afternoon. John Boyd Thacher, it is
said, will also arrive this evening.
1t was given out last night on good
authority that Mayor John Boyd
Thacher is to be the gubernatorial nomi-
nee of the convention. A conference
between Senator Hill and representa-
tive of Mayor Thacher took place yes
terday, and it is understood that Sena-
tor Hill will not interfere to prevent
Thacher's nomination, although he per-
sonally favors ex.Secretary of State
Frederick Cook.
ALBANY, N. Y. Sept. Ex-senator
Hill said to-day "Unless something
now unforeseen occurs do not expect
to attend the Buffalo convention"
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 14.-Hon.
Frederick Cook will not allow his
name to be used at Buffalo and could
not accept, if rendered, on account of
the Chicago platform.

No REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE MEET
1NGs.-It has leaked out that Senator
Quay, acting chairman of the republi-
can national committee, has given
orders that the republican State COM
mittee of Virginia need not meet any
more. The latter body assembled in
Richmond Thursday, but before it was
called to order telegram from Quay
directed the chairman, Col. Lamb, not
to call the committee to order. The
Pennsylvania Senator, upon further in
ouiry, wired Col. Lamb that the meet
ing of the State committee would jeop-
ardize all the work the national organi-
cation had been doing in Virginia.
The explanation of this action upon
the part of Mr.. Hanna's committee is
understood to be that the steering COM
mittee, formed by THAT organization,
shall be left perfectly free to conduct
the campaign in Richmond in their
own way. This course restricts the
secrets Of the managers to the fewest
lumber OF persons possible. The steer
ing committeeman aud the managers OF
the sound money democrats are natural
ly in thorough sympathy. The manner
in whicn the contest is to be conducted
by the practical coalition between these
two parties having the same objects in
view is of too much Importance to be
''~ssed TO ReFcol late through the ordi-
allv. 10 1t State organizations.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II.
Congressman Livingtop, of Georgia,
and Mr.. Andrew Lipscomb, OF Virginia,
will certainly speak at the Bryan and
Sewall meeting in Alexandria county,
near this city, tonight, and possibly
Mr.. Edmund Burke, of this city. Peo-
pie from that county here say the lily
white movement in Alexandria city has
provoked the negroes in the county, and
that already negro Bryan clubs nave
been formed there.
Senator Teller was at silver head
quarters here to-day. He brings the
most favorable accounts not only from
Colorado, but other Western States,
and both he and Senator Stewart are
confident of Bryan's election.
Congressman Tucker, of Virginia,
was here Saturday, to see if some change
in the Bryan route could not be made
by which the democratic candidate for
President could come by Staunton, on
his way to Richmond, and speak there.
Mr.. Tucker says the democrats will
carry his district by a good majority.
The District commissioners to-day
heard evidence in the case Of the gar
bage scows that so annoy the people Of
Alexandria. According to the testimony

Senators Teller and Dubois reached
Washington at noon and will hold q

Chairman Faulkner, of the democratic
congressional committee.
The city democratic committee will
meet tonight to determine upon the
site for the great Bryan meeting here
next Saturday evening, as Mr.. Bryan,
very properly has refused to speak from
the Capitol steps. 1t is probable that
either Capital Park, near the Govern
ment Printing Office, or Convention
Hall will be selected.
