FACTS ABOUT DYNAMITERS. Examination of the Man Charged with Being Cunningham’s Accomplice. His Name Is Found To Be Burton, and He Recently Resided in the United States Is Remanded Till Monday. a English Detectives Think Cunningham About Beady to Turn Informer. A Canadian Detective Tells of the Things He fiaw in a Lodge of Dy am iters in New York—Rossa and Mrs. Dudley. CUSNINriHAM’S ACCOMPLICE. Testimony Elicited at the 'Examination of Burton—The Prisoner Remanded. London, Feb. s.—The mysterious prisoner arrested on Tuesday evening in Whitechapel, with Cunningham’s missing brown box in hi 9 possession, was to day arraigned in the Bowstreet Police Court, and formally charged with complicity in causing the explosion ait the Tower. The prisoner gave the name of Harry P>urton, said he was twenty six years of age, and by occupation a cabinet-maker. He is five feet nine inches tall, of fair complexion and slender figure, wears a light mustache and beard, and looks like an American. He managed to baffle all tho efforts of the police to take his photograph. When taken into court, Burton presented a haggard appearance and seemed keenly alive to his unfortunate position. Tho examination was confined to taking the prison ers statement concerning his identity and the reading of the charge against him, and be was then harried back to CleTkenwell prison, after being formally remanded for further hearing. The police say they have no doubt that Burton was Cunninghaim's accomplice in causing the Tower explosion. Hie arrest was accomplished through the aid of the cabman who removed Cunningham’s brown trunk from the Preecottstreet lodgings, where a brown box of similar shape and size had been substituted for it. The cabman told the police that he carried the trunk to a certain number, which he gave, in Bow street, and so accurately described the man for whom he performed the task that the police were enabled to run Burton down. It will be remembered that Cunningham told his Prescott-street landlady that the brown trunk belonged to a friend, who might call for it. The police assert their ability to prove that this friend was Burton. The police explain their conduct in refusing to allow it to be known when they would arraign Burton by saying that they wished to avoid a crowd along the way between Clerkenvrell prison and Bow street Court, and thus lessen the chances of rescue. There i3 no doubt •that the Fenians in London are taking an active interest in Bncton's behalf. When Burton was first arrested l.e gave his name in many different ways to different interrogatories. Despite the concealment of tho fact that Burton would be arraigned to day, there was a large crowd around the* Bow-street Police Court. The court-room was crowded and there was considerable excitement among the people. The police used the greatest precautions for the safe custody of the prisoner, and the evident fury of the crowd made Burton nervous. He could hardly speak when placed in the dock, and at no time daring tho examination was he able to speak without faltering. During tho examination evidence was adduced showing that Burton left New York on the steamship Oregon, and arrived at Liverpool Dec. 24. Mrs. Cannon, a lady who keeps lodgings in .Prescott street, where Cunningham lived after his arrival in London, identified the brown box in Burton’s possession as the substituted for Cunningham’s brown trunk while Cunningham was a lodger at her bouse. A cabman named Crosby testified that on the 12th or 13th of January Burton asked him what the fare was to go to Turner's road for himself and an empty trunk. Said the cabman: *T agreed to carry him for two shillings. On the way. when we arrived at 25 Prescott street, Burton stopped me and alighted. He entered the house, brought out the trunk him self, and placed it on the roof of the cab. Bnrton then gave me a cigar and asked me to take short cuts. I replied that I preferred, the main road, which was hotter tor traveling. Opposite the town hall, in Lime House. Burton stopped me nd asked me to have u drink, and 1 accepted. When we arrived ut the place in Turner’s road, I handed down the trunk, which Burton took from mo. I did not see him enter the house. The trunk was very light." It was difficult to obtain a close and accurate description of Burton during his brief presence in tho Bow-street Police Court, to-day. owing to his restlessness and his efforts to avoid scrutiny. His hart was a tall felt, and he wore a black coal His entire apjiearance was distinctively American. Burtor/s skin is fair, his beard and mustache thin and light, his figure slender, his eheok bones high, cheeks hollow and nose aquiline. He speaks with a strong Yankee accent When arrested, there was found in his pockets one five pound note, one pound ten shilling in gold coin and silver, besides a great number of papers. When cabman Crosby was on the stand, to-day, Burton explained the witness’s statement that he did not see the prisoner at the Prescott-street house when he procured the brown trunk, by saying he got the trunk from behind a railing in front of the house He also withdrew his denial as to having given the cabman a cigar, by saying he gave him one at a public house, and not at the beginniug of the journey. The story told by Constable Jarvis, who effected Burton’s arrest, was most material to the prosecution. Jarvis went, on Tuesday last, to Turner’s road, and saw the prisoner. Jarvis asked him if he was the man who had removed a brown trunk from Prescott-street lodgings a fortnight before. Burton answered * Yes. I I bought it for eight shillings from a man in that street, and teok it home. I don’t know the man, and have never seen him since. I came from America on Christmas, and we came aboard tho Oregon. I stopped at Liverpool "over night. and came to London the next day. which was Christmas day. I have been in England before; I was here Inst April. I returned to America in September." When Jarvis asked bira what his trade was, Js'.-:non repled that lie was a cabinet maker. He did not hesitate to produce the brown trunk, and .vben he had exhibited it, he was placed under arrest, and at once informed that he was to bn charged with being an accomplice of Cunningham in the recent dynamite explosions. The prisoner being asked by Judge Ingham if the statements made by Constable Jarvis were trite, he replied they were, and was thereupon remanded until Monday night. The conduct of the police convinces the public that Burton, at the time of his capture, was engaged in otlmr dynamite plots, of which. Die exJosioi;-< at the House of Commons and the Tower were but the beginning. The arrest is relieved to have prevented a great disaster. CffNNtNCIIAM MAr TURN INFORMER, ft is stated that Cunningham has broken down in consequence of having been additionally identified as one of the men concerned in the underground railway explosions. Inspector Frederick Jai-vls, of the Whitehall police, who has charge of the ease, now believes that Cunningham will turn informer, and that Ids revelations will load to the largest haul of dynamiters *h,it has ever been made. The police refuse all information in regard to the suspected accomplice of Cimuinghaai.who was arrested in White-

chapel road last evening, haring in his possession the brown Pox which was mysteriously removed from Cunningham’s lodgings. A CANADIAN’S STORY. What a Detective Claims to Have Discovered in New York City-. Montreal, Feb. 5.—A detective of this city recently returned from a trip to the Southern States. On the homeward journey he stopped j in New York city. Ho says that on two consecutive evenings bo attended secret meetings of dynamiters in Chambers street. Dressed in; green, the password ‘'lreland and freedom" opened to him the doors of the hall, which was underground. Over one hundred and fifty persons were present. Only the chairman and other officers of the meeting were masked, but each speaker, as he arose, put on n mask. The first evening was spent iu making speeches, all tending to celebrate the grand victory won in London. On the following evening the dyamitera explained their plots regarding Canada. Among those present the detective recognized a well-known resident of this city, who was finally appointed a delegate to Canada to establish branches. A few days after his return to this city the detective discovered a meeting place of the plotters in an old saloon a few miles from Montreal. Although only three delegates were sent to this city, their confederates already number over fifty. At a rcc-ont meeting they decided to send three of the brotherhood to Ottawa, with the avowed purpose of blowing up the left wing of the Parliament House. A DYNAMITE CONGRESS. A Meeting to DiscuM Feasible Plans for Murder and Assassination. Paris, Feb. s.—The Figaro, in an article on the coming congress of dynamiters, to be held in Paris, says: “The formal opening of the congress will take place on tho 23d of February. Eleven delegates will attend; of these, six will be from America. Seven of the delegates are already in Paris, and these havo commenced their labors. The meeting will discus? the utility of explosions by dynamite in aiding the Irish cause, and the question of a union of thedynamite party with the Fenians." Tho Figaro adds that the congress will also bring up for discussion and decision the question as to whether or not members of the English House of Commons who voted for the crimes act shall bo executed. ROSSA AND HIS ASSAILANT. The Former Rapidly Recovering and the Latter in Good Humor. Nkw Yorax:, Feb. s.—lt was said at St. Vincent’s Hospital, this morning, to which O’Donoran Rossa had been removed yesterday, that he passed a comfortable night, and is greatly improved. The physicians think it will not be many day3 before he can be out and about. He receives the best of care and attention as a pay patient. Mrs. Rossa and Patrick Joyce called this morning. Only relatives and iuti mate friends are permitted to see Rossa. O'Donovan Rossa’s assailant, Mrs. Dudley, was in her usually placid frame of mind this morning when a reporter called to see her. She had just finished reading four letters which were brought in tojher from the morning mail. Mrs. Dudley said she had received congratulatory messages from both Englishmen und irishmen. Some offered assistance, others advice. She read with considerable amusement a report from London that she had, during her youth, studied for tho stage. She is still reticent concerning her personal history. —— - —— BRITISH FEDERATION. The Benefit that Would Result from Closer Relations with Canada. London, Feb. 3.—The Morning Post combats the position taken by John Bright concerning the British imperial federation. The Post urges the closer knittinu of Canada with England, to insure protection for England’s increasing commerce in the China seas against possible encroachments by France and Russia. Continuing, the paper says: “England has no territory in the Pacific region, and aspires to noue. The completion of the Canadian Pacific railway will provide England with anew ronto to Hong Kong, occupying but little over a month—sixteen days less than the Suez canal. The new route would enable England to land troops in China at least ten days in advance of French troops starting at the same time from Marseilles, or troops from Odessa. In the event of the Suez canal falling into hostile hands, Canada might even send 20.000 or 30,000 men, which she could easily spare in an emergency, in twenty-five days. All depends upon the cultivation of good feeling between Canada and England." FOREIGN MISCELLANY. The Russian Advance m Afghanistan Claimed To Be Hustile to England. London, Feb. s.—rTbe Times says: “Russia’s advance in Afghanistan can be explained only by some ulteriorand unavowed motive, distinctly hostile both to Afghanistan and England. Any excuse on the ground of doubt as to the limit of the frontier is rendered impassible by Russia’s refusal to legally investigate the seitlenient of the frontier question without delay. Herat belongs to the Ameer, and a timely recognition of this will avert risks which Russia can scarcely afford to run.” _ Rumored Resignation of Cardinal .Tacobini. Rome, Feb. 5.—A report is in circulation that Cardinal Jaeobini has finally decided to resign hi3 position' as Papal Secretary of State, and will soon formally relire. The reason for this decision is that tho Cardinal finds his position growing daily more difficult, because of the continual and growing dissensions between himself and the committee of cardinals upon the question of the Vatican's political attitude. Newspaper Seizure In Germany. Berlin, Feb. s.—The government seized the entire edition of yesterday’s Danziger Zeitung, a Liberal paper, because of the radical tone of its Hamburg correspondence. The seizure is considered an extraordinary action on tho part of the government, and is the first case of seizure of a newspaper within the past twenty years. Tho Prince of Wales in a Collision. Paris, Feb. s.—The express train for Cannes, on which the Prince of Wales was a passenger, came into collision, to-day, at Avignon, with a freight train.

A Omit and Good Newspaper Man Comes to tlie Headship of tho Teton Sioux. Fargo, D. T.. Feb. s.—An Argus special from Standing Rock Indian agency states that by the recent death of -Young Antelope, Stanley Huntley, a newspaper man who at one time was connected with the Dakota press, and now in New York, becomes chief of the Teton nation. Tho manner in which Huntley becomes ■chief of all the Sioux tribes is like a fable. Years ago, before Sitting Bull surrendered, Huntley was sent by a Chicago paper to northern Montana, to interview the warrior, who,tired of scouring the plains, crossed the border and became the guest of Major Walsh, at Wood mountain, in the British northwestern territory. Here, camped around the Major's post, were the old man and his braves, among whom were Little Knife, hereditary chieftain of the Tetons, who was too old for war and the buffalo trail. Little Knife injured one of his legs while dismounting from a pony, tho medicine men failed to give any relief, and tho old chief was given up to die. Huntley appeared on tho scene, and with a newspaper man’s extensive knowledge, bound the wound with leaves and oil, and he recovered. Huntley was adopted, and last fall, when Sitting Bull and his troune went East, an ndopted sister of Huntley’s was with them and recognized Huntley. Little Knife had two sons, Mountain Bull and Young Antelope. The former was killed some time ago, and now ,by Antelope’s death. Huntley becomes chief, as a male relative by adoption is as strong as through blood among the Indians. Huntley’s Indian name is Waukpaywaukan, or Holy Loaf. Huntley is the author of the Well known ’’Spoopendyke” papers. The Chicago Ballot Frauds. Chicago, Feb. s. —The trial of Joseph C.

CLEVELAND AND lIENDRICKS. The President-Elect Visits New York and Attuounces that He Wants Information. New York, Feb. s. —The hallways and lobbies of the Victoria Hotel, where President-elect Cleveland is stopping, were alive with visitors to-day. Among the callers on Mr. Cleveland were Wm. H. Barnum, Hubert O. Thompson, Senators George, of Mississippi; Vance, of North Carolina; Jones, of Louisiana, and Gorman, of Maryland; General Hancock, General Franklin, of Connecticut; General Frye, Colonel Goode, of Virginia; General Stephenson, of Illinois; Judge Moulton, erf Illinois; Mayor Grace, Roswell P. Flower and William C. Whitney. The statement made this morning, that the national Democratic committee, as such, would wait on Cleveland, is said to be without foundation. The detective force at the hotel has been increased. Mr. Cleveland will return to Albany on Saturday afternoon. President-elect Cleveland this afternoon held another reception. There was one person who attracted much attention, if he did not receive marked consideration, during the afternoon. His name was Eusene C. Austin, and he is at home in Wyoming county. He wanted to advise with the President-elect as to the composition of his Cabinet and state matters in general. He is said to have come from his home in response to a message purporting to bo sent by Mr. Cleveland, but really sent by practical jokers who knew the alleged weakness of the visiting gentleman. Upon tho list of callers for Mr. Cleveland Austin’s name was not written, but instead, and to indicate that tie had called, the word “crank" was written. Among tho names for President elect Cleveland received by Colonel Lament were Congressman Van Eaton, of Mississippi; Senator Doolittle and General Ewing, members of the House and Senate of Virginia; Oswald Ot.tendorfar, editor of the Stnats Zeitung: Senator L. Q. C. Lamar, Senator Williams, of Kentucky; Congressman F. A. Mazanares ,of New Mexico: General Clinginan, Manton Marble. Joseph F. O’Donohue, ex-Gov-ernor John T. Hoffman, Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the World; Congressman P. V. Deuefer, of Wisconsin; Charles H. Marshall, of New York; J. H. Oberly, of Illinois; A. S. Latnberton, of Pennsylvania; General George B. McClellan, Eugene Kelly, Charles W. MeCune, of the Buffalo Courier; ex Governor Reuben E. Fenton. Admiral Leroy, U. S. N.; Congressman B. T. Fredericks, and Congressmen Robert Lowry and C. C. Matson, of Indiana. About 7 o’clock Mr. Cleveland and Colonel Lamont drove to the Brevoort House, and dined with Colonel Paige. “There is nothing to be hidden in regard to my visit here,” Mr. Cleveland said in response to an inquiry. “1 came for information. Any one with that to give will be welcomed to me. I expect to meet tho members of the national committee, who have been invited to meet me. 1 shall be glad, also, to see men prominent in party and business affairs from whatever section. The idea of my trip is to widen my information on public needs. I shall receive no callers until Friday, but shall then and until Saturday, when I return to Albany, bo accessible to those who may aid me in what I seek.” Mr. Donhee is a friend of Mr. Cleveland's from boyhood. They entered the Buffalo bar at about the same time, nnd have long been associated in the Jeffersonian club in that city. During the campaign he stumped tho State for his friend. Ho has since visited him at. Albany, where they talked of the purpose of this trip. Mr. Donliee enlarged a little on Mr. Cleveland's reply. He said that if bankers, merchants or professional men wanted to submit views for Mr. Cleveland’s consideration this would give them the opportunity. He wanted to learn special as well as general needs and opinions. To this end, also, ho would gladly hear delegations of any kind having a legitimate errand, and if independent Republicans or representatives of any other party division chose to call socially, or to urge anything new, he would receive them. His desire was to be fully prepared for action on taking the presidency, and while tho claims of party policy would bo respected, so far as they might commend themselves to his judgment, he meant to sink partisanship in matters involving general welfaro. At the same he proposed that tho party leaders should be prepared by consultation with him in advance of his inauguration for what was to follow in his official capacity. Speech by Mr. Hendricks at Alantn. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. s. —Hon. Thomas A. Headricks and party reached Atlanta this morning at 4 o’clock in a special car. At half past 8 they were escorted to tho Kimball House, where breakfast was served. The company at breakfast consisted of about thirty prominent citizens. A large crowd congregated about tho hotel, and the mayor introduced Mr. Hendricks, who spoko from the balcony. He said: “Gentle-men of the State of Georgia: I did not expect to receive this welcome at your hands to day. 1 accept it as a tribute from a great State of this Union—a State that is.firmly united with the great State of Indiana, from which I come. I accept it with pleasure, because it is' an honor dona me by the people themselves. We have recently, in the North, as well as in the South, passed through a great political contest— I think the greatest the country has ever seen. It has resulted, in my judgment, most gloriously. The country is. for the first time in a great many years, to be placed under the management of Democrats. (Applause.] I believe that that change will bo for tho welfare not only of the white race, but of tho colored race of our country. so many of whom I see here to-day. Did you observe that of tho millions of votes cast, the question was finally decided upon tho ballots of 1,142 men in tho State of New York? This entire country had its political fortunes decided by that small vote, abcl when it came to be known that there was 1,142 of a majority for Cleveland and. Hendricks in the State of New York, it was then known that <he country had gone for the Democrats, arul that tho difference of 1,142 had decided tho judgment of 54,00T0000f people. .So grand a spectacle lias rover been witnessed in any country of tho world. It is the force of the sentiment that the majority shall govern, and Republicans North ari l South, bend their heads in respect to the judgment of the majority, as well as Democrats, also; und is it not an evidence of increase! union between all sections of thd country? It was not in tho South that that small difference occurred; it was not in this empire State of Georgia that a small majority controlled 51,000,000 of people; but it was in a Northern State, it was in New York, tho great and powerful State, that gave a majority of 1,142, and, North and South, that became the judgment of all the people. So 1 think I can say to you that wo stand in union more firmly to-day than ever before. | Applause. ] After the speaking the ladies were driven over the city, and tho gentlemen proceeied to tho hall of the House of Representatives, where a reception was held, and several hundred people presented to the Vice-president.
