scheme of fusion between the Demo-
Gratis and Populists was blocked today

today, in the New York directory is de-
scribed as a liquor dealer on Lexing-

Hundred and Twenty-fourth street. He
was not at either of his places of bust
ness this morning. A barkeeper, who
said he had charge of all of Ivory

his employer left the city about two
weeks ago, saying that he minded to
go to Coney Island for few days.
Since then, he further declared, he had
heard from him, and he showed a letter
from him, dated Boston, September IA.
This letter, the barkeeper insisted. was
written and signed by Ivory. It viii be
remembered that the family of P. J.

arrested at Boulogne, displayed a letter
which was dated at Rochester. N. Y.
within a week of the time his identity
was disclosed in France.
When Ivory's manager was asked
whether his employer belonged to any
of the better known Irish societies in
this city he refused to answer. He said
ne thought Mr.. Ivory was in this coun-
try, and could nOt be the man who was
arrested in Glasgow. He admitted that
many other persons had the Impression
that the young sallcgpkeeper and The sus-
pect were one and the same. He nad
had many callers this morning, all of

about Mr.. Ivory. The barkeeper de-
clined TO say who the callers were.
