REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Montreal. Canada. July 4.-The American
colony of exiIes still congregated beneath
the folds Of an alien flag in the Dominion
Of Canada is no longer the happy and united
fanny that 1t passed for Immediately after
its migration here. Gaynor and Greene. ex-
lies in the Captain Carter case, are still in
Quebec and do not speak as they pass by,
while Daniel ]. Kelley has left that city al
together and has taken up his residence
here.
It was doubtless because of the success
of Gaynor and Greene in resisting extradi-
ton in Quebec that Kelley made his way
there when he fed from st. Louis and the
first thing he did upon his arriva! was to
hunt up Gaynor and consult the same coun-
sci as the Savannah men had employed.
Kelley was unpopular in Quebec from the
moment of his arrival there.
He quarreled with and endeavored to de-
ceive the local newspaper men. and when
they exposed his record he threatened them
with personal violence, and was about to
be called upon to furnish bail to keep the
peace when he disappeared from the place
and came here. staying first at the Windsor
Hotel and then taking up small furnished
house In a quiet locality.
MUCH CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS.
Several important personages from New
York and some from st. Louis have called
upon him here. Kelley has had so much
confidential business to transact for his
principal that the latter is feeling his exile
very keenly. and is most anxious to have
him back again. Hence the efforts which are
being made in st. Louis In this direction
COLL
own attorney there. The prosecution knows,
however. just how anxious Kelley is to re-
turn. and will act accordingly, 1t is be-
| lieved.
Strange as 1t may appear to those who
are conversant with the facts, Kelley per-
sists in the statement that he is only
wanted as a Witness and this in spite of
the indictment standing against him in
st. Louis. He conveys the impression that
he is the custodian of some tremendous
secrets in connection with the Baking Pow
der Trust. and the bribery charges and
that they will be divulged only on condi-
ton of perfect immunity from prosecution
of both himself and his business associa-
ates
He refuses to state whether these refer
to the transactions with former Lieutenant
Governor Lee or not, but intimates that he
has a story to tell that will not implicate
public men on one side of politics only.
Or all inc american eXlleS VINO nave
sought shelter in Canada in recent years
none appears to have stood the strain
worse than Kelley. He denies himself to
all callers, except one or two personal
friends
He has become ill-tempered and irasci-
Bile, his clothes hang loosely and baggily
upon his FORM and, haggard and miserable
as he looked when he first went to Quebec,
he seems now to be more broken up than
ever.
GREENE AND GAYNoR QUARREL.
Greene and Gaynor are friends no more.
All the time they were in prison together,
whether in Montreal or Quebec, and all
the time they spent while under nominal
arrest, both in the Windsor Hotel here
and at the Chateau Frontenac, in Que
bee, Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene
were friendly. Since their acquittal by the
extradition trial Judge in Quebec, they
gradually have drifted apart, until now
they have come to regard each other as
personal foes.
Rumor has It here that the difference
arose over money matters, and that the
