We have heard it intimated that
there is to be revision of the Civil

There is considerable agitation
throughout the State to have March
25--Colonists' Day-made a legal

especially fitting that the anniver-

siderable dearth of material in the
ranks Of straightout Republicans in
st. Mary's. In handing round the

garded, and the horse that has
worked the corn has been sorter
overlooked in the distribution of

not calculated to disturb the equi-

exceptions, We hardly think it will

A dispatch from Boulogne-sur-Mer
to the Associated Press says that Ty-
nan was arraigned there this morning
before the deputy police prosecutor
The proceedings were confined to fur
nishing evidence of the arrest and the
establishment of the identity Of the
prisoner which the latter fully admit
ted. Two Scotland Yard detectives were
present at these formalities, and event
ually the prisoner was remanded and
taken to the town Jail, while awaiting
the arrival from London Of the docu-
ments necessary to bring about his ex
ira dition
lyman, who seems to have had no
idea that he was shadowed by English
detectives from the moment he land
ed in Europe, feels his position keenIy.
He told his captors he knew that can
ital punishment awaited him if he was
handed over to the representatives Of
the British government
1t appears that lyman during his
continental tour, passed himself off as
queens messenger or royal courier
and claimed that Bell, who was travel
Ing with him, was his secretary. Ty-
nan asserted that they were en- route
to Copenhagen with an autograph let
ter from Queen Victoria to the car.
During his stay at Boulogne- sur Mer
lyman showed every evidence of he
ing in possession of plenty of money
and Of having large funds to draw up
on. He lived well and his staple bev-
erage was champagne, according to one
account of the affair."
The Globes advices from Boulogne-
sur-Mer say that Tynans disguise was
almost co1nplete. He had shaved off
his beard and had otherwise changed
his appearance. The Globe correspond
ent adds: Il knew him at Kingston in
1880 and saw him at New York in 1894.
He is just now minus his whiskers and
his moustache is horribly painted
black. He is attired in a light tweed
suit, distinctly lcud and like all Irish
men of his kind it was his tendency to
brag and conspire aloud which led to
his arrest. 1t was at first thought
that lyman was connected with the
going to Paris of anarchists who con-
template an upheaval while the czar
is in Paris
Bell. further particulars show, also
had plenty Of money in his pockets
when arrested, but no explosives were
found in his room. At his hotel. Bell
described himself as an American tour
ist and he looked the part to perfec-
ton.

1T IS WHOLLY UNTRUE.
Sale of Free Silver Literature Not
Prohibited.

The charge having been widely circulated
that the Milwaukee company had refused to
permit the sale of free silver literature on its
trains, President Miller says:
This company has at no time prohibited
the sale of free silver literature on its trains
The right to sell literature on our trains is
granted by contract, for compensation. The
only power of prohibition reserved by this
company is the power to prohibit the sale OF
literature of an immoral tendency. With this
exception the contractor has unlimited con-
/ troll Of the matter, and we have nothing. TO
say. He informs me that he has always Kept
a stock of free silver literature, and has 1t
for sale on trains whenever there is a de-
mand for it and profit is to be made by It's
sale.
This company has not coerced or intimi-
dated, nor attempted to coerce or intimidate
any of its employees, nor has it discharged
any man because he was in favor of free
silver; nor has 1t threatened them with dis
charge or any pain or penalty for adhesion
to free silver nor have any Of it's officers
or those having charge or control Of its
employees done any of these things. When
we discharge men-which. unfortunately. the
varying conditions of business often require
we are governed solely by length Of service
and efficiency, and not by their creeds-re-
ligious or political.

G. A. r. tickets expires, excepting, of course
upon those tickets which have been extended
through the joint agency at the Ryan hotel
There is a certain amount of gloom around
the offices of the fy-by-night scalpers, who
now have no further use for st. Paul and who
will seek newer pastures. 1t is generally
supposed that the scalpers have on hand
hundreds of dollars worth of tickets which
are now valueless. The joint agency has re-
newed thousands of tickets many of which
were, of course, renewed for the purpose of
being scalped
During the closing days of last week. scalp
ers were selling to Chicago as low as So or
$4 in some cases; and to other points equally
cheap Many instances have come to light
where tickets to New York have been sold
as low as $12, the scalpers preferring to get
all they could out of the surplus on hand,
rather than have the tickets go into the waste
paper bags. Many of the Offices which have
on hand supplies of extenSed tickets will no
doubt remain open the bal1 .ce of the month,
but the others are closing now. The tran
sient scalpers have cut into the business Of
the long-established brokers, and there is
great jealousy and bad feeling. Charges and
counter charges are flying about, and in the
meantime the legitimate passenger officials
are laughing over the discontinue Of the
scalpers.

The police Of Glasgow received a
telegram from Scotland Yard instruct
ing them to follow Bell everywhere
ana, IN consequence, a, close watch was
set over him. Four hours later Bell,
the police report, received q telegram
from lyman, giving the latter's address
and the address of the other men taken
into custody. When Bell was arrested,
he reasserted that he was an American
tourist The papers found upon Bell
include documents relating to the three
other men in the hands of the police
on the charge which led to his arrest
A Scotland Yard official, in an inter

months have been aware that a number
of the most reckless and desperate

centers, particularly on London. There

redoubled, both in Great Britain and
America However, several of the al

ing the detectives and reached different
parts of Europe. They were, it is
claimed, provided with an abundance

on the continent. They did not make
