New York, May 16.-Police In
spector McCluskey has returned from
Chicago. where he had been investi
eating the mystery of the Internal ma
chine left on the Cunard pier. The
inspector said his trip had established
the fact that only one man was con.

he was not, in the inspectors opinion.

Rosseau, the suspect, in Chicago.
Clues were leading to other Western
cities.
A good description Of the man
wanted has been telegraphed to every
town and city in the United States

said that he was long way from
solving the mystery, but hoped that
something tangible would soon be
discovered.
The dynamite, the inspector asserts
was procured in this city, where, he
declined to say. The inspector is also

NOT INTENDED FOR PROTECTION.
Premier eafour and Remittance Of
Grain Tax.

London, May 16-Premier Balfour,
accompanied by the chancellor OF the
exchequer, Mr.. Richie, received a
large and influential deputatiOn of
Unionist members of the house OF
commons. headed by Mr.. Chaselin, a
former president of the board of agri-
culture; members of the house OF
lords and delegates from the chambers
OF commerce and agriculture, who pro-
tested against the remission of the
grain duties. Mr.. Balfour made a
long argument in reply to the repre-
sentations of the deputation but did
not give the slightest indication OF
conceding the demands.
Without the slightest intention on
the part of the government, he said,
the tax had accidentally given some
protection to the millers, thus indirect
ly and unexpectedly helping the farm
ers. but the government must not be
blamed for remitting the tax. 1t was
never intended to be protective
measure. Protection, he said, could
not be introduced silently, as If by
accident. and without a broad, public
endorsement of such a change in the
national policy. The premier con-
tended that Immediately it became
clear that the grain tax divided the
two political parties of this country
it also became clear that the tax could
not be a permanent part of the fiscal
system. He did not intend to say that
the present system was necessarily
permanent. New conditions had
arisen since the old free trade policy
was adopted and he could imagine
circumstances under which Great
Britain. by way of retaliation, would
no longer consent to be made pas.
sive target for other countries living
under different conditions. He believed
in universal free trade, but at pres.
ent every country except Great Brit
ain was protected. Great Britain had
gained greatly thereby in many ways.

Louis Confesses.

ST. Louis, May 16.-Unable to bear
the strain of mental torture which he
says he has suffered since the grand
jury investigation into legislative
boodlng was instituted former State
Senator Fred l.. Busche went before
Circuit Attorney Folk during the aft
ernoon and made a complete and far
reaching confession of his connection
with corrupt deals extending over a

been conspicuous at the state capital

Later Busche was taken before the
grand jury, where he remained an
hour When he emerged from the
juryroom tears were streaming down
his cheeks. With his face buried in
his handkerchief he hurried down the

Because of the statute of limita-
tions, which prevents prosecution
three years after the crime is commit
ted, none of the men against whom
Busche has testified can be indicted.
