Too Many Foreign Affairs
in This Country"
DECLARED THE PRISONER
Man Arrested in Philadelphia Admits
He Tried to Blow Up Statue Of
Frederick in Washington
Last Week.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.--Gessler Ros-
seau, who was arrested in this city on
Thursday with an unloaded internal ma
chine in his possession, admitted to the
police yesterday that be is the man who
atte mpted to destroy the statue Of Fred
erick he Great in Washington last Tues
day and also that it was he who sent
the trunk containing an internal ma
chine TO the British steamship Umbria
at New York in May, 1908.
Theprisoner, whose right name is not
known, made these admissions in the
Office Of Captain Donaghy Of the Phila-
delphia detective bureau after he had
been identified by persons brought here
from New York and Washington for that
purpose. lie gives no reason for the att
tempted outrages, except that there are
too many foreign affairs in this coun-
try After having Rosseau under fire
all the afternoon, the police elassed him
as an American patriot fanatic" The
prisoner gave no information yoluntar-
ily TO the police, he admitting only those
things which the police had fastened on
him.
Both the Washington and New York
authorities want the man and it is prob
able that he win be turned over TO the
police Of the latter city.
The apprehension Of Rosseau was due
TO the disappearance Of Owen Kelley, a
wealthy Irish American who is promi-
nent in Irish-Ameriean societies in this
country, Kelly disappeared on Oct. rs,
and from time to time the newspapers,
particularly Of the East, have published
articles on the mysterious disappear
ance. These, the police believe, undoubt-
edly attracted Rosseau's attention.
On Thursday he called on Patrick Kel-
ly the brother Of the missing man, and
offered to take him to his brother in
New York for $500. He said be and
Owen Kelly belonged to q secret So
ciety that was organized for the purpose
of blowing up British ships in American
ports. Tie valise lie carried, he said,
contained explosives. Patrick Kelly mo-
titled the police and Rosseau was taken
into custody.
Having satisfied themselves beyond d
doubt that the Identification was com
plete, the police Of the three cities set
about TO obain confession from the
prisoner
In reply to a uestion, lie admitted the
attempted outrage Of the statue. He
said he had manufactured the internal
machine himself, and that IL consisted
Of candle, fuse and dynamite engine.
Where he made it, he would not say.
1t was his intention. he said, to blow
up the statue at night, because he did
not want to hurt anybody
Because of the ice in the Potomac
river, he failed to find anyone who would
row him from Seventh street wharf
Washington, to the arsenal, which il
on the bank Of the river, and he had
to change his plans. The failure to de-
strop the statue, he said, must have
been due to the melting tallow spelling
the fuse or interfering with the dyna-
mite.
Rosseau then gave the police the in.
teresting information that he had in.
tended making a second attempt IA
blow up the statue, his time with a
clock machine.

ters Looked For.

Paris, Jan. 16. The ministry of NJ.
Combes, after emerging successfully
from its bitter midnight struggle in the
chamber Of deputies, has decided to
abandon the field while some portion OF
its prestige still remains, and has sig.
nified its intention OF resigning.
Official announcement Of the resigna-
ton has not yet been made, but M.
Combes has definitely stated the inten-
tion Of himself and his colleagues, and
the termination Of the ministry, after
tempestuous career Of three years
only awaits the formal submission OF
the letters OF retirement
Friends Of the ministry maintain that
its retirement is voluntary, as NJ
Combes has succeeded in resisting the
effort to compel his fall. The opposi-
ton, however halls the decision as a
victory, claiming that the small majori-
ties for the ministry last night left NJ
Combea shorn of effective strength tc
carry out his policies.
