THE N. P. OUTRAGE
Investigation of the Fx-
 pIosion at BirdSeye
Dynamiters Drove to and From the Scene in a Light Rig-Blood Hounds Cannot Follow Trail.

Helena, Montana. Oct. 6.-There have been TO developments in the dyna- mite outrages on the Northern Pacific to-day. After a thorough investiga- tion of the explosion at Birdseye, last night, the detectives are convinced that the men who placed the explosive on the track. drove to the point in a light rig, ard left in the same manner. Owing to a heavy rain after the ex- plosion the blood hounds could follow the trail only short distance. The only thing the detectives found at the scene Of the explosion was a piece of baling wire used to tie the dynamite on the track.
 Superintendent Boyle is still here and there is an engine in the yards with steam up ready to go out on an instant's notice in case the dynamiters should mallr another attempt tonight.
 That the train escaped being wrecked last night was remarkable, as after the explosion six cars passed over a rail out of which eighteen inches had been torn.

CHAMBERLAIN's SPEECH.

Glasgow. Oct 6.-Mr. Chamberlain, commencing his speech, said that his firt duty was to thank the great rep resentative audience for offering him the opportunity of explaining for the first time in some detail his views on the subject of the fiscal policy in the city from which free trade first took birth.
 He alluded to the recent visit he paid to Venice, where he found the Camparile, which had stood for cen turies and which. when he previously visited Venice, seemed as permanent as the city itself, now a. mass of ruins. He continued:
 T do not say that I anticipate such a fate for the British empire, but I do say that I see signs of decay, cracks and crevices showing that the founda- ticns are not broad and deep enough to sustain it. Am I wrong to warn you? Is it not strange and inconsistent that the same people who indicted the government tor its unpreparedness in  nounce me in language equally eX- travagant because I want to prepare you for a struggle SO serious that if we are defeated the country will lose it's place among the great nations, struggle in which WE are invited to en- gage with antiquated methods and tao tics?''
 Referring to statistics. Chamberlain contrasted the moderate increase of 712 per cent in the export trade of Great Britain and the increase of 90 per cent in her population since 1872, with the enormous increases of trade in the United States and Germany and he asked how the country could expect to support it's growing population with it's trade practically stagnant for thirty years. He proceeded:
 ''On the other hand, the protected countries, which you have been told, and I myself one time believed, were going rapidly to wreck and ruin, have progressed infinitely better in propor- tion than ourselves, and, instead of, as Golden believed, our remaining the workshop for the world we are send- ing less of our manufactures abroad, while the protected countries are send ing more and more of their manufac- lures here.
 Tt is plain that ou" imperial trade is essential to OUT prosperity. If it declines or fails to increase in prcpor- tion to our population and to the loss of our foreign trade then we shall sink into a fifth rate nation. I have con- fidence that they who are masters electorally speaking, will have the in telligence to see that they must wake up, that they must meet the new con ditions with an altogether new policy

New York, October 6.-The dividend States Steel corporation was reduced
 from 1 per cent to one-half of one per
 cent, thus setting at rest a matter
 that has agitated Wall street and
 financial circles generally for many
 weeks. To quote a very high authority
 in the affairs Of the corporation, The
 action of the board was unanimous and
 was caused by falling off in business
 This is borne out by the financial
 statement issded shortly after the
 meeting
 This statement shows a decrease of s4,6f2,06S September estimated) for third quarter of the calendar year, compared with the same period last year and a decrease of $4.339. 4S7 com pared with the preceding quarter of
 this year. On October l. 1902 the cor poration had unified orders of 4,S43, 900
 tons on hand. This year thrilled or ders on sale to date amounted to 3.72S.13 tons. The importance of to- | days meeting, which was preceded by 1 that of the finance committee, was i emphasized by the attendance of 19 of the 24 directors. including J. P Nor i gan. whose presence at these meetings has been very rare.
 l Among the absentees were John D. Rockefeller and his son. John D. Jr. William II. Moore and Marshall Field
 of Chicago. The absence of the Rocke- fellers was the subject of some con- ment because of rumors industriousiy
 circulated for weeks past that the
 Standard Oil faction had arrayed itself against Morgan and his friends and would hold out for a reduced dividend i The unanimous action of the board on | this point, however, disposed of these i rumOrs.
 1 The regular dividend of 1% per cent on the preferred stock was declared This dividend is payable November i 16th- The dividend on the common
 stock is payable December 90.

THE NATIONAL GUARD
Its Officers Make Charges and Coun-
 ter Charges of a Serious and Dis. graceful Nature-Gen. Chase In- volved but Net Removed

Denver, Colo, Oct. 6.-In connection with the rumors of scandal of wide reaching character developed in the management of the Cripple Creek cam paign of the Colorado national guard Gov. James H. Peabody today gave out the following statement
 Charges and specifications against certain men and officers of the Colo rado national guard have been filed with me, which will be immediately in- quired into. The charges are of a most serious nature and I shall order a court martial to investigate them thoroughly.
 "The charges filed with me will be probed to tke very bottom and any one found guilty, no matter who he is, will not be permitted to escape punishment. General Chase has not been removed, present."
 The governor declined to give the names of any of those against whom charges had been made, but it is an- ncunced that Adjutant General Sher- man NJ. Bell, Col. Frederick Gross. paymaster general, Col. Frank Kim ball. assistant pay master general, Major Arthur Williams, Gen. Chase's adjutapt, and perhaps others, have been ordered to Denver at once, though whether to stand trial or appear as witnesses is not positively known.
 Among the charges to be investigated are said to be: Padded pay rolls: en- ployment of superfluous generals and colonels who draw salary on their rank but who perform sergeants' duties; general extravaganza in the purchase of supplies for the commissary depart ment; the charge that certain officers l have been securing a rake off from | contractors and the purchase of spoiled 1 beef for enlisted men at sky high | prices.
 Tie above are among the charges said to have been filed by General Chase against subordinate officers, while charges of exceeding his author ity and disregarding the direct orders of the commander-in-c chief Governor Peabody, are said to lie against the commanding general himself.

A REBELLION Food Demanded.

The human body will stand d lot of abuse but sometime it will surely rebel and demand the proper food in place of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on which it has been made sick.
 Then is the time to feed Grape-N Nuts. the most scientific and perfect food in the world.
 A lady of Washington says: Three years ago l was very ill with catarrh of the stomach and was given up to die by one doctor. I laid in bed four months and my stomach was 90 weak that I could not keep down medicine CT hardly any kind of food and was so weak and emaciated after four months of this starvation that my daughter could easily lift me from bed and put me in my chair. But weak as my stomach was It accepted and relished and digested Grspe-Nuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful food was tried.
 My doctor told me that I would have to eat Grape-Nuts. which were predigested. and although l felt cer tain l could not kep the food on my stomach I had to make the trial and it was a most complete success. l am now strong and in better health than for a great many years and am grad uaIly growing still stronger. l rely on Grape Nuts for most of the nourish- ment that l get. The results have cer- tainly been wonderful in my case and prove that TO stomach is so weak it will not digest Grape-Nuts.
 My baby got so fat from feeding on Grape-Nuts I was afraid I would have to stop feeding them to him but l guess it is a healthy fat for his health is just perfect" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Cleveland's Close Friend and Post
 master General Died Last Night

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 6.-Wilson s. Bissell. former postmaster general died at 1O:15 o'clock tonight. About noon he sank into a deep sleep, and it was with difficulty that he was aroused at intervals during the after noon for nourishment and medicine. The end came easily and peacefully. Dr. Dewitt Sherman, the physician who has been attending him during his re- cent illness, and members of the family were at his bedside. MT. Bissell suf- fered from complications thought to not well understood.
 On June 1, MT Bissell's trouble be- came so serious that he was sent to New York to consult specialists. IL was thought an operation would be performed hut after an examination the specialists decided that it would be better for the patient first to rebuild his health.
 He was sent to his summer home, Bar Harbor, where he spent several weeks. He spent most of the time there + bed srd it was realized that his case was hopeless. In September he returned to Buffalo. Some import ant legal matters in which he was in terested were disposed of, and Mir. Bis sell was again forced to bed. He suf- fered no pain, sleeping most of the time.
 When awake his mind was clear, and he conversed with members of the family and the physicians. During the latter part of his illness numerous messages of inquiry were received from former President Cleveland. and mem- bers of the cabinet in which MT. Bis sell served as postmaster general.

HIS WORDS OF WARNING
Chamberlain's Speech at Glasgow
 Yesterday Notable 0ratorical Ef- fort-Balfour EuIoeized- His Ideas of a Preferential Tariff Outlined.

Glasgow. Oct 6.-Whatever may be the opinion held regarding the great question which MT. Chamberlain has raised or the probable issue of his cam paign. it is generally admitted that he has opened it in masterly manner hefitting the momentous occasion, and that he can no longer be accused of nebulosity in presenting his case. For nearly two hours. only referring oc- casionaliy to fairly full notes for fig ures and statistics, he held a vast and enthusiastic audience absorbed by one of the finest oratorical efforts.
 As though inspired by the knowledge that the practical collapse and break up of the unionist party left him in sole possession of the field. he spoke with his customary energy and per suasfveness, lacking nothing in lucldl- ty, either of phrase or argument while his appeal to the working classes, upon whom more than any section of the community, and especially since the defection of the Duke of Devonshire from the unionist administration, the success or failure oi his preferential scheme will depend, was eminently cal cuIated to enlist their support.
 The points of speech attracting re- markable attention were his eulogy of MT. BaIfour and his repudiation of the idea of superseding him; his represen- tations of the coming struggle as one greater in its consequences than the Boer war; his declaration that all working men in the colonies were pro tectionists and that any labor leader visiting the colonies would inevitably be converted to protection; his descrlp- ton of the American tariff as an ab9.nination and his curious presen- tatiofl of the case as affecting the wcrkmen's exchequer. Thus, accord- ing to him, the increased cost of the new duties to the laborer would be 912 farthings (42. cents), to the artisan lo farthings 6 cents), while the saving by the proposed reduction to the la borer would be IS farthings @ cents). and to the artisan 19 farthings 9!a cents)

New York. October 6.-T0day's stock market lay practically in a letharsy pending the action of the United States steel directors on the common stock dividend. This action had not been de- cided up to the close of the market and oppressive influence of the sus pense accordingly was not removed. Dealings were the smallest for many weeks, and small as they were a large proportion of the whole was absorbed by the United States Steel securities. which were the only stocks in which the uncertainty over the dividend ac- tion was made the occasion for specu- lative price movements to any extent.
