THRASHER IS VERY ANXIOUS.
He Makes a Statement Regard
 ing His Agent in Plainfield.


 He Says That the Man Did Not Plead Guilty to Burglary Considers, That a Great Injury Has Been Done the Man, AS We'll As the Law and Or der League.
 New Haven, Jan 25.-Secretary s. F. Thrasher of the State Law and Order league to-day gave out the following statement:
 To Our Members and Friends:
 1 sincerely trust that no one will pass nasty judgment upon the widely circulated rumors, many of them far from the truth, regarding the arrest of our agent over in Plainfeld. Our man did not plead guilty, as some reports have 1t, nor was. he found guilty, as charged in others, nor has he been ar- rested at all for defrauding the hotel keeper. The arrest for theft was upon an allegation made by persons now under arrest themselves and confi- dently believe for the purpose of affect ing his testimony in the cases which were about to be tried The man has always borne a good reputation and he still has our entire confidence. We are only anxious for the trial in order to prove the facts as we know them. Then there will be another story to tell. It was at our request that he was bound over to the superior court without trial, as we had our reasons for wanting to waive examination be- fore the justice.
 A great injury has been done. both 10 the league and to an innocent man, as we believe, but stEa truth will yln- dieate both in few weeks.
 Respectfully
 $. F, THRASHER, Secretary.

{ THE BoRGHEsE GALLERY.

It is Thought That the Agnews Did
 Not Make Large Offer Reported.
 New York, Jan 25.-Discussing the reported purchase of the Borghese gall lery. the London correspondent of the Journal and American says: The Ag- news, the well-known art dealers and agents. decline to discuss their re pited offer of two millions for the Borghese gallery. It is certain, how ever, that no such offer was made. The Agnews well knew they had no chance of it's acceptance, because the Italian government had already pur- chased the collection. The art dealers admit the Italian government has no intention of permitting the sale to for eigners. so there was no basis for Lord Stanley's scare about the gallery being in danger of purchase by an American.

TO BUILD SHAMROCK IT.
The Contract, It Is Said, Will Go To
 ThorneycroftS.


 Glasgow, Jan 25.-As the result of an exhaustive examination Of the Sham rock I, the first offer of d contract to build the Shamrock III will go to the Thorneycrofts. The examination. which has just been completed. was made with the special object of deter mining the relative merits of the work manship of the Shamrock I and Sham rock II, and William Fife is so satis. fled with the condition of Sir Thomas Llpton's first challenger for the Amer zicf's cup that he wants the Thorney- crofts to try again on Shamrock III. It has been found that the old boat, except where aluminium was used, has stood the strain and wear admirably. The plating was always truer than in the Shamrock II and her underbody has never shown the weakness in the riyetting which caused so much trouble in the case of the last chal- lenger.
