New York, May 29.-The American
correspondent for Les Nouvelles of Paris
has cabled his paper interviews with
prominent republicans and democrats in
the United States on the subject Of the

not admit the Roer envoys to the floor

TO WREAK VENGEANCE.
CAME FROM DUBLIN TO BLOW UP
WELLAND CANAL.
Canadian Secret Service Disclosures
Plot Planned By the Clan Ma Gael
Maud Come Furnished Funds.

New York. May pa special to the
Herald from Montreal says:
The Dominion government secret SER
vice has discovered that Carl Dullman,
J. Nolin and John Walsh, convicted of
trying to destroy the Welland canal,
came to Canada for the express purpose
of wreaking vengeance on the colony
for having sent troops to South Africa;
that they threw UP positions in Dublin to
do so and that at least two of them were
provided with funds by the Clan-na Gael,
which obtained the money through Maud
Come.
AS a result of their Investigations the
government agents say:
1.-The explosions We're designed as a re-
prisal against Canada for having sent
troops to South Africa.
The plot was conceived, instgated
and carried through by orders of the ex-
ecutive officials of the Clan Gael.
1T was set on foot at the very moment
last autumn when all Canada was ring
ing with enthusiasm over the mobliza-
ton of the frs contingent sent by the
Dominion to participate in a war Of the
empire.
"rhe emissaries of the clan-na-Gael
We're dispatched from Ireland to America
almost simultaneously with the depart
ure of the Sandman from Quebec.
1.-The cost of passage of these ennis
salieS OF the Clan-na-Gael was betrayed
by a subscription organized by Miss
Maud Come, a young woman who has
been designated The Irish Joan of Arc,
and who has made several visits to the
United States in the interests of the
physical force section of the Irish ex-
tremists.
'Their tickets were purchased by Fred
J. Allen, who is said to be the recOgniz-
ed head of the Clan-naG Gael in Dublin,
and who has within the last four months
been appointed private secretary to the
present lord mayor of Dublin, Alderman
Pile.
"From the time of their landing in
few DAYS previous to the explosion, and
possibly since Walsh and Nolin, at least,
were in constant communication with
the executive of the Clan-na-Gael and in
receipt of moneys from that body.
The agents do not say that Maud
Goune knew the Welland canal was to
be blown up.

BOY AND MATCHES.

Special TO the Inter Mountain.
Anaconda, May ga small boy and
some matches caused a good sized blaze
in the two-story frame building in the
rear of 51l East Fourth street about 9
O'Clock this morning. The house was oc-
cupied by Clement st. Jean. Mrs. St.
Jean was upstairs attending to her gem
eral housework. Her children were down
stairs playing, when her little boy found
some matches and set fire to the cloth
lining and wall paper Mrs. St. Jean
was attracted by the children's cries and
came down to find the room a mass Of
flames The children were sent into an
other room, and she made rush for the
cupboard and secured her purse, which
contained some money. She next se-
cured her children and vacated the
building An alarm was turned in in the
meantime A lamp standing on the
kitchen table exploded, which made the
flames spread considerably. John Smith,
the colored dog catcher, was the first on
tho scene. He secured a bucket and
comm enced pouring water on the flames
In fhe meantime the fire department was
called out and the fire was soon under
control. Loss about 5000.

London, May 29.-The tenor of Lord
Roberts dispatch of last night and the
news from Pretoria this morning led the
authorities to expect further important
news from the British commander-in-
chief, dated, they hope, from Johannes
burg.
The remarkable rapidity of Lord Rob-
erts' movements and the unwonted mo-
bility of the whole British under him
have upset the calculations of home OBJ
servers as much as they appear to have
disconnected and demoralized Roberts
federal opponents Possibly, even
now he is at the gates of Johannesburg,
and it is believed ten days hence, or less,
he ought to be demanding admittance
to the Transvaal capital itself.
If the federals ever really intended to
"stagger humanity by blowing up the
Gold Reef city and mines, which is very
doubtful, Roberts may yet be too quick
for them and arrive before they have
time to do any wrecking.
The majority of the burghers will .un-
doubtedly be glad Of an excuse for saw
ing the mines, and they may find the
excuse in Lord Roberts skill in hustling
them out of one position after another.
The fighting at Kip river last Sunday,
reported from Pretoria, was presum-
ably done by Generals French and Ham,
ilton in forcing their way round to the
northwards of Johannesburg.
The Orange Free State was annexed to
the British empire on May 28, according
to Capetown advices, but Roberts seems
to have given his army the first intima-
tlon of this on the previous day.

Whatever may be the views ente"talned
by individual members OF the &. A. K.
posts of Chicago on the question OF maxi
ing one Of the features of the encamp-
ment the return to the southern states
of the confederate battle aags the local
committee will be guided entirely by the
action taken by congress Y'hat there
is great sentiment in favor Of the les-
titution OF the flags was evideuced yes
terday when it was announced that sew
eral prominent members Of the G. A. Rs
have IA plan in hand to secure the au-
thorization of congress for Ae return
of the banners which are at present in
the custody Of the war department..
The matter was brought to the atten.
ton OF the executive committee having
charge Of the arrangements fer the en-
campment, and at 4 mass meeting held
last night it was decided that it would
be unwise to take any action at this
time either for or against uae giving
back OF the flags. 1t was argued that
the matter did not come within the
jurisdiction Of the G. A. r.. far the rea-
son that the naEs are the property of the
federal government and cannot be dis
posed OF without joint resolution Of
congress.
The unanimous opinisn of the commits
tee was that if congress should author-
ize by joint resolution the return of the
standards the local committee Of ar
rangements would dc all in its pewer to
make the presentation ceremonies one Of
the touching features OF the encamp-
ment 1t is planned that if the consent
of congress can be obtained the flags
will be turned over to the G. A r.. and
President Mckinley then will hand the
torn banners to the representatives of
the confederate military Ofganizati ions,
who will be invited to Chicago for the
ceremony.
Col. w. Fl. Harper the chairman of the
executive committee of the eacanpment
explained that the G. A. r., AZ an or
ganization, could not afford to endorse or
oppose the movement at the present time,
for the reason that it was 4 matter en-
tirely in the hands Of congress.

BUTTE. MONTANA TUESDAY EVENING

Inspector Snyder of Seattle says there
are 400 Japanese out of work in that city.
Another thing brought out in the in
vestigation is that more than three times
as many Japanese are landed in Victoria
as are brought to the Sound ports.
When the news reaches Japan that SO
out of single shipment have been re-
jected in Tacoma, the next ship that
comes will likely unload the entire lot in
Victoria and let them take chances of
crossing the line in small bodies. If they
are caught they cannot be sent back any
farther than Victoria, whereas, if they
are rejected in Tacoma they must go
back to Japan.
The Glenogle is due to sail on Wednes-
day, so the Japanese will have out little
time in which to appeal their cases to
Washington, should they SO desire.

an undsputed claim.
