P7, r.y th A'.-eci.itH Pre?.) 'LONDON. Jnn. 'ZZ. Pa rliamfnt opened on Tuesday last with an unusually poor attendance hii1 lack of animation. Tho statem"U of Mr. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and government leader in the House of Comgirs, regarding Irish finances, has removed the most important barrier to a speedy adoption of the address in reply t" the speech from the throne. Mr. Balfour said that the royal commission which had inquired into the financial condition ' Ireland and v.hirh reported that country to he overtaxed to the amount of J.:."-..) ha 1 been guilty of sin cf omisdon and had refused to disciss largo t!;i.-s( s cf f.tcts v. hich should be investigated. Therefore, he added, the government proposed to take steps to complete the inv stigaticn. Mr. Balfour now hopes that the addretvs will te voted early next week. With the exception of the proceedings yesterday evening, when Fir H'-nry Howorth. Conservative. representing the South division of Sanford. moved an amendment censuring the government for releasing the Irish iolitical prisoners, which tailed forth a hep ted defense of the action of the home Secretary. Sir Matthew White Ridley, on the part of Mr. Ualfour. - who declared that Sir Henry's attack was an imputation upon the honor of the whole treasury, and meant that he himself and bi colleague 'were -unworthy to lead the party, the debates in the Commons had been tedious and only enlivened by an amusing incident of Thursday, when Sir Wilfred Ii'.Yon. Radical, representing the Coekermoutfc -division of Cumlerlind, depicted Uritlsh legislators in the gotesijue position of breaking the laws of the. country dally. Sir Wilfred questioned the attorney general. Sir Richard Webster, Q. C regarding the sale of liquor within the precincts of the House. Sir Richard had to reply, amid a continuous roar of laughter, that alter a profound inquiry into the matter he had come to the conclusion that thfl sale of liquor within the precincts of tho lie -se was illegal and that the only remed vas to pass a short act exempting tho Il'ev-e from the licensing law. The followers i ' Sir Wilfred Liwson, who, iruidenta'.v. Is president of the United Kingdom Alliance for tho suppression of the liquor traiHe, are jubilant at the attorney general's admission, and It is hinted that they intend to file n information against the speaker. Rut they are not likely to carry out tho threat. When the question of the alleged overtaxation of Ireland comes UV for -discussion tho Scotch members intend to. suggest that the financial iosition of Scotland ho included in the inquiry. It is rumored that Senator Wolcott, who has been visiting England in the Interest of bimetallism is not quite satisfied with the progress of his inquiries here. He has teen delayed in meeting people owing to their absence from town, and of course, ho could not be received by the Marquis of Salisbury because he had no ofliciai credentials. The Bimetallic League, however, has given Senator Wolcott the heartiest reception and Sir William Henry Poundsworth, Conservative member of Parliament for the Northwestern division of Manchester, who was the British delegate at the monetary conference at Brussels in 1V2. and Lord Aldenham, senior partner in the firm of Anthony Gibbs & Sons, bankers and merchants, and formerly it governor, now a director of tho Bank of England, have had long Interviews with the senator and are aiding him In every way possible. Senator Wolcott finds that the position here remains v.nchanged from the time of the Brussels conference, namely, that the British government and the House of Commons are committed to do 4 II In their power to secure by International agreement the stable monetary par of the exchange of gold and silver. The Bank of England is till willing to keep a nfth of Its reserve in silver bars. But in spite of the willingness of Great Britain, which has been expressed to Senator Wolcott, to bring the mints of India into international agreement. Great Britain under no circumstances will take the initiative in calling u new conference, considering as she does that the above offer is the first practical step toward International bimetallism taken by any government. She now wants to see what practical steps other governments are willing to ake. The continental powers are equally unwilling to take the lead in calling a monetary conference as they unanimously believe that the United State's both by its position and imjvortanre must take the initiative. From the general tone of the continental press it is .evident that Europe looks askance at the Anglo-American arbitration treaty and seems to fear an Anglo-American alliance. The Marquis of Salisbury's hlng at Prince Bismarck in his speech in the House cf Iords on Thursday appears to hae touched a Hire point in Germany. The premier said, referring to the arbitration treaty: "I can only observe that you must not think we are indulging in millennial anticipations if we hope that something will be done by tho treaty of arbitration to diminish the risk of war. 1 don't sav It will remove the greatest risks of war. I do not pay ft will restrain a Napoleon or a Bismarck! But diplomacy is full of an infinite rumter of small differences which are caught up by the people and press of UHh countries. And if they are written upon, exaggerated ami enlarged they lend to diminish the friendship between them and give birth to a feeling of alii nation and resentment." The North German Gazette, commenting on the reference to Prince Bismarck, refers to the arbitration treaty as an 'agreement to prevent quarrels about trifles, and re1 iiitlutes the comparison of Naj!eon with rince Bismarck, wherein the North tierman Gazette e "another illustration of British industrial and commercial jealousy." . Tho Kreuz Zeltung says that the Marquis of Salisbury, instead of mentioning the names of two jxiwerful personages, would have done better to openly admit that such treaties are of little use; "since they must be repudiated in all instances involving vital national Interests. . A singular lawsuit between the rival pretenders to the throne of France was resumed this week before the civil tribunal of Paris. The Duke of Anjou is suing the preent Duke of Orleans for using the royal arms of France, on the ground that the Iuke of Anjou Is the rightful heir to the throne, as be L t.e descendant of Iuiis XIV. Counsel for the Duke of Anjou has asked that tto Duke of Orleans be cornlulled to pay the. iiim of !. francs for each day ho continues to u?e the royal arms of France. The procureiir de la republique. proposed the rejection of the suit, declaring it was curiou to find the plaintiff aking a republic to confer upon him the'tltlo of King of Franc. To still further complicate matters, counsel appeared for Don, Carlos, head jf th Spanish brunch of the Bourbon family and pretender to the throne of Spain, claiming for his client the right t bear the royal arms of France. Judgment will te rendered n-xt week. All th nK topers congratulate the Mar. auis cf Salfsb'iry la U. diplomatic triumph.

as shown by the publication on Thursday last of the official correspondence between Great Britain and Russia which brought about the agr e -men! of the Czar to the proposal of the Marquis of Salisbury that the embassadors of the powers at Constantinople should formulate reforms for the Turkish empire, which should be enforced by the powers should the Sultan prov? recalcitrant, to which France consented later, after Germany. Austria nnd Italy had previously given their consent. There is a general -feHing that the concert cf Europo for coercion Is nearer realization than ever before. .. Cecil Rhodes reached London this afternoon. In a snowstorm. At Plymouth, where the steamer touched, a crowd of reporters resorted -to all manner of devices for engaging him In special launches, but failed even in seeing Mr. Rhodes, who. In marked contrast with Cape Town talkativeness. Shut himself up In his caLin. No small chagrin is expressed that, now that Mr. Rhodes la here, no committee is ready. Mr. Chamberlain himself Impresses every one with his anxiety to get the committee to work, but Mr. J. M. MacLean, the leader of the little band of Tory jingoes who resent what they regard ns Mr. Chamberlain's tame African policy, has an amendment which delays its appointment. They think they may even force the government to drop the inquiry, and the strange thing is that Sir John Lubbock supports them, believing that peace between the English anil the Dutch will be the best served by silt nee. They must, of course, fail. One of Mr. Itho ies's friends on the steamer said that when he was told that his sneer about the 'unctuous rectitude" of England had provoked much ill feeling here, lie replied: "When people have been sticking pins into you for a whole year you begin to feel like hitting back just once. They hold up their hands in horror at all manner of things of which they really have no horror at all." The attempt of Sir William Rose, who is a member of the Canadian bar and who has served In the Canadian militia, to shut out the public from the historic grounds of his seat. Moor Park, near Farnham. Surrey, has created a great deal of ill feeling and led to a remarkable manifestation on Sunday, when the gates were locked for the first time In generations. Hundreds of 10ple. headed by the Farnham District Council, marched to thv; gates and demand. d admittance. When this was refused, the councSlmen cut the bolts and chains with 1 hist-Is und hammers thought for the purpose, and the crowds flocked into the ground, cheering for the council. There v.-as much hooting when the crowd passed the mansion. The cha:ns and fastenings of all the other gates were cut In the same manner. The latest news from Cairo indicates that the start cf the Anslo-Egyptian expedition to Khartoum may be expected within six months. The preliminaries are being expedited, ami when Sir Red vers Bailer, V. C. the adjutant general for the forces (for it is no longer doubted that L'.uller will supeivk.de Sir Herbert Kitchener as the head e.f the 10.900 British troops who are going tfi stiffen the backbone of the Egyptian army) starts for Khartoum he will probably tind but little to Impede a rapid advance on this side cf Berber. There is no reason why Kitchener should be superseded except, on account of his youth. Sir Herbert Kitchener was born in 1S50 and Sir I ted vers Buller was born in But it is felt that a veteran Is needed at the head ef the expedition which is to make the important advance about to be undertaken. It Is understood, however, that Sir Herbert Kitchener will be given the command of the army of occupation. Interest in the Queen's diamond jubilee is augmenting rapidly everywhere with the universal preparations to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of her reign. West-end rents have already doubled and large numbers of aristocrats who usually let their houses for the season are remaining in town. Recent cable dispatches from London to tho United States stating that the health of thf Queen is so bad that she shows some evidences of insanity have led the Lancet to declare on authority that the reports are absolutely untrue and that the condition of her Majesty does not give any cause for anxiety to her medical advisers apart from that naturally attaching to old age. Few of Mark Twain's many friends know of the plucky fight he Is making with adversity, or how badly he has been usetl by misfortune. In a word. Mark Twain, who a couple of years ago thought himself a "rich man. is to-day wo'rse than penniless. Since his return from Africa, a few months ago, he has leen living in very modest lodgings In London, going nowhere and seeing but one or two friends, working all day and every day at a history of his trip around the world. With the proceeds of this beok he hopes to be able to pay 01T his creditors and to have something for himself. Mark Twain lost practically everything when Webster & Co. tailed, and the trip arouna the world which he undertook with the hope of retrieving his fortunes did not turn out a financial success for him. So, over sixty years of age. in poor health, and in a strange country, America's greatest humorist is perhaps working harder than ever before. A student In chemistry named Dufay started last veek .from Paris to travel around the world in three years, walking wherever possible. His object is to prove the weather-resisting qualities of paper, he having undertken to wear no other suits than those made of that material. A crowd gathered outside the newspaper office from which Dufay set out. He goes lirst to Havre and from there to America. The recent appointment of Mgr. Luigi Oreglio Di Santo Stefano. who was already Cardinal Camerolenge of the Holy Roman Church, and subhead of the Sacred College, gives him the best chance to succeed the present Pope, and is taken as indicating that his Holiness is thus accumulating power In the hands of Cardinal Santo Stefano. ar.d desires to accentuate his wish that the latter shoule! succeeel him. The approaching wedding is announced at Nice of the mother of the Princess De Chimay. who has already been twice married. The onV notable event in the theaters luring the past week was the appearance of tho Carl Rosa company at the Garrick, v.ith moderate success. The announcement is made that Forbes Robinson will shortly appear in a new fiveact play, written by a new dramatist, having for its subject England's greatest hero. Lord Nelson. Mrs. Patrick Campbell will assume the part of Lady Hamilton. The

announcement has awakened the greatest Interest in dramatic circles. Mr. Penney will shortly cancel his contract as manager of the Gloln? Theater, anel that house will for a short time pass to the management of J. I. Shine, who will open therewith a new piece, of which he Is himself the joint author with D. Christie Murray. A $10,000 BATHROOM. The Tub 1 of Porcelain nnd the Faucet! und Piping of Gold. TRENTON, N. J.. Jan. 23.-If Mrs. Thomas Watson becomes reconciled to her father. Claus Spreckels, she will have the most luxurious bathroom ever constructed in America. The tiling and decorations for.thLs room, which has been made here, were viewed yesterday by a elelegation of architects, decorators and sanitary plumbers from New Yerk and other places. The bathroom will cest $P.(m) and will be part of a suite of rooms which Emma Spreckels. daughter of the sugar king, designed for her own use after inspecting famous houses in all parts of Europe, where she traveled for the solo purpose of getting ideas for the $t,0u).C") home her father is erecting in San Francisco. Her apartments were de-signexl to cost more than a tiuarter of a million elollars. The entire room will Ik only V-s feet wide by feet long. The floor is to be covered with caustic tiles of small dimensions, in neutral tints. The sides and ceiling are to be ef tile-s four by tive inches. Each side of the wall will be paneled. The dades will be in solid odors, but each main panel win represent bathing scenes irom me classics, tine panel will show a brook. In which two women are wading, one leading a child, while Cupid will sport on frieze. The ceiling Is of delicately tinted tile. Metal swinKlng doors will lead from the room. The bathtub Is of porcelain the faucets are of solid gold, and so Is the piping for the shower and the needle streams. Since the heiress drew her plans Fhe has been married. Although only twenty-seven years o!J. she was married to Thoma Watson, who 1 tifty-nlne years old. It was a svt ret wedding the day before Christmas, in San Jose. Brld and bridegroom are now living at the Calif orulx Hotel, la San Francisco.

FOHi:cLfstitr: Piton:nnixc;s im:;in AGAI.ST,T1II2 IMOX PACIFIC. IrrmiMlon (irnntrd by JihIrf Snnhorn und Suit Filed nt Once in the Circuit Court nt Oninliu, PLEA OF. THE GOVERNMENT GROIM1S OX WHICH THE SALE OF THE ItOAI) IS DEMANDED. Oulclaln of the Company Pleased at the I'ronpect of (letting Hid of I nele Sam's Supervision. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.-United States Circuit Judge Sanborn last night issued an order authorizing a fereciosure suit against receivers of the Union Pacific Railway. The government representative who appeared before Judge Sanborn Is General J. C. Cowin, of Omaha, who arrived in the city yesterday morning. The general kept his mission a secret, but quietly intimated to Judge Sanborn during; the course of the day that he might probably desire an audience before the night rolled by. At D o'clock General Cowin appeared at the hotel, and wuk immediately admitted to the judge's room3, where a proceeding in chimin rs was duly begun v.ith the usual formalities. The 'attorney for the government had a voluminous ' document, which was produced, and proved to be a bill praying that the lien of the United States on the Union Pacific Railway be foreclosed. It is the practice of the United Staters Courts in proceedings against properties in the hands of receivers not to permit suits to be filed against them without permission first has been obtained from the judge in whose circuit the property is located. Accordingly, General Cov.in asked for an order of court for leave to sue the receivers, who were appointeel at the instance of first mortgage bondholders, and who are now in possession of the property. The court granted an order, giving the United States permission to sue the receivers upon condition that the government would appear in the suit brought by Dexter and others, trustees for the first motgage landholders of the Union Pacliic, against the Union Pacine Railway Company, the United States and others. General Cowin entered an appearance for the government In the Dexter suit and asked leave to answer on or before the rule day of the court in March. The permission asked for was granted, the necessary orders were immediately made and a messenger was at once dispatched to Omaha. Neb., where the orders and the bill tor foreclosure will be filed to-day. The Union division of the Union Pacific Railway, on which the government seeks to foreclose its second mortgage, extends from Council Bluffs. Ia., to Ogden. Utah, and embraces 1.U43 miles out of a total mileage operated by the company of 4.003 miles. Receivers for the entire property were appointed In October. 1SUJ. The. receivers are S. H. H. Clark, Oliver W. Mink. E. Ellery Anderson, John W. Doane and Frederick R. Coudert. THE PETITION FILED. ReasoiiM Giten by the Government for Deimmdiiii Foreelotture. OMAHA. Jan. 23. Attorney General Judson Harmon, through Counsel John Cowin, riled in the office of the clerk of the Circuit Court of the United States, at noon to-elay, a bill In e-eiulty 'calling for the foreclosure of tho government's second mortgage on the Union Pacific main line from Omaha to Ogden and the Kansas Pacific from Kansas City to Denver. Under the rules of the court, the defendants have until the lirst Monday In March to answer the bill. The petition recites all the acts' of Congress in relation to the road, and ehows how the provisions of the several acts have been complied with by the company anel by the government. It sets out that the amount of the first mortgage is $29.219,000, which is represented by the trustees made defendants in the suit. The second mortgage is placed at $27,23,312. It also asserts that there has been no payment on any of the bonds, except that paid by the government. The petition also recites the building of the Union Pacific bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs, and the Issuance of bonds as provided for by special act ejf Congress, and mentions J. Pierpont Morgan and Ellsha Adkins and the Central Trust Company of New York as trustees for these bonds. It says that of the bonds yet to mature $13.!dy,312 will come due Jan. 1, 189S, and $3,157,000 Jan. 1. lSt9; that all other londs have matured and have been paid by the United States and that the value of the security held is not sufficient to protect the debt. Tho petition then gives a minute history of the litigation in w hich the road has been involved and shows what steps the different defendants havo be-en broubvt in connection with the case, and asks tl at the court determine the priority of the? different liens, and how much money has been issued: that the uen of the Uniteel States be aeljudged to be In its proper order a lawful Incumbrance upon the railroad property; that the court determine which, if any, lien is prior to the lien of tho Uniteel States, and that provision be made to protect said prior Hen, that upon the nonpayment, after a reasonable time, of the amount which may be ascertained by this court to be elue and owing to the United States government, that after giving all proper credits, said lien, mortgage and all statutory rights of the United States may be foreclosed and the premises and franchises embraced therein sold, and the proceeds paid Into the treasury of the United States, and applied to the credit of the company; that .the Master In Chancery make a true description of the property of the road subject to the lien of the Uniteel States and liable to be sold te satisfy said lien: that the receivers of the road be continued to this cause for the protection and preservation of the interests of all parties hereto. one of the officials nt headquarters when told that the bill in foreclosure had been filed this noon said: "To tell the truth, it is one of the best things that ever happened to the Union Pacific. Now, we can brvak away from the government and operate the road along better lines. We can do business as other roads elo, free- from any entanglement with the court. To bo sure, it Is a long way to look aheael to the complete solution of the affair, but not so far that we cannot sep in the dim future what the final solution wHI be. There is no doubt but that the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short-line and the Utah Northern will continue as one railway to all intents and purposes after the segregation of the latter. The Union Pacific system will le itself again. Its permanency Is assured. The West will see one of the greate-st railway systems In operation ever known and the entire transmissouri territory will be benefited. Tho presenc-e of two men representing Vanderbilt interests Messrs. Depew and Hughltt on the. reorganization committee naturally suggests closer relations with the Northwestern, hut I think there will Ik no chance on this account. The line from Council Bluffs westward will continue to be separate and I eloubt If its management is changeel at all." ;exe:ial hailavay xjews. Equalization of Commission Chris tinn Endenvorern Dissatisfied. CHICAGO. Jan. 25-. The advisory committer of the Immigrant Clearing House of the Wertern road has decided the only way In which commissions via Chicago and St. Iuls can be equalized with those via New Orleans is for the Northern roads to ab.orb these which the roads cf the Trunkline Association and the Central Passenger Committee refuse to pay. The board has prepared a resolution which will be submitted to all of the interested roads providing for the payment of the Increased commissions. There is practically no doubt that the resolution will be carried. The officials of the Christian Endeavor Society have notified the roads of the Transcontlnental Passenger Association and Western Pass.enger Association that there Is a strong probability that the convention

of the organization will not be held In San Franclsco. as p binned, but-In Philadelphia. The Christian Endeavor people make no complaint about tho rates that have been proposed for the meeting, but they do object to the clause in-the agreement covering the business that provides for the division of the traffic Thl. it is claimed by the roads, practically defdro3s the chance of the transportation committee of the Christian Endeavor. Society receiving as many side privileges ;as- in rormer years, and the committee ls lhposed to object. The roads are not-willing to grant any concessions, as the rate-already made is so low that they cannot grant any more concessions than are-made In the rate itself, and it is a fact that-some of the roads have already contracted for large amounts of the business at rates that mean a positive loss to them. : The railroad officials are not in a very amtabie mood over the matter and many of. themihave no hesitation In saying that ther very much prefer that the convention bo held in the Eijt or in some locality where they will not -bo compelled to trouble themselves with making the primary' ratea and arrangements. The matter is still a long way from definite settlement, however. : Atlantic & Pacific, Reorganization. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The conferees of the two houses reached an agreement today on the bill for the reorganization of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad. Many of the provisions contained In the House amendments are retained, but the language of most of these w-a changed. As agreed to the bill authorizes a' reorganization of the old company, granting to it all the privileges and franchises of the original concern. It is also to be subject to the obligation und duties, of - the . old concern toward the United States as towards their creditors. The capital stock of the new corporation is not to le" allowed1 to exceed the amount of th. mortgage, except on the payment of cash for additional stock, the secretary of the interior to approve the same. The purchasers are to be required to relinquish all claim to the company's untamed land grant. The provisions inserted by the House that the company shall be incorporated in. each State that the road traverses is omitted in the agreement.

Tito Roads Enjoined. SPRINGFIELD, III.; Jan. 2C.-In the United States Circuit Court to-day Judge Allen, on application of the Central Machine and Foundry Company, of Quincy, la., issued an Injunction restraining the Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City and the Atchison & Santa Fe Railroad Companies from discontinuing the through freight line, which has Ik en malutalnenl between Quincy and Chicago by way of the former road to Hurdland, Mo., where the road connected with the Santa Fe. The roads in question are also enjoined from.refusing freight by that line. The Santa, Fe wishes to break the truffle agreement:,.', The Xeir-tlt'roufrli Line. MILWAUKEE, Jam 23. General Manager II. F. Whitccmb. of th Wisconsin Central lines, confirms the report of the formation of an 'entirely new through freight line from Wisconsin and Minnesota to the seaboard atf6rfolk, Va., via Manitowoc. He said: "The: extensive terminal facilities referred to are., at Manitowoc instead of Chicago. We. connect at that point with the Flint & Peru Marquette anel via "these routes with! the Norfolk & Western, thus reaching the seaboard. The present announcement b , due. .to the arrangements that are being made with connecting lines from day to day." The Agreement Ratified. NEW YORK," Jan.', 23. The government directors of the Union Pacific Railroad held a brief meeting this" afternoon and formally ratified the decision of the attorney general to foreclose on the properties of the Union Pacific rtnd Kansas Pacific, and also the agreemeat fmad with the reorganization syndidate mmittee. A copy of the resolution "Will be forwarded on Monday to the secretary of the interior. HAWAIIANS' AT' WASHINGTON. Ex-Queen Llliiiokulan I. Miss Kin Nu linolelenn nnd Joseph Heleliilie. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Lilluokalani, the Hawaiian ex-Queen, arrived here this morning. Her intention to visit Washington at this time nad! not teen anticipated, and her entry 'fV a? anv one's could be. Accompanied by Miss Kia Nahaol?Iena. Mr. Joseph Helelulie, of Honolulu, and Mr. J. N. Palmer, of Uoston, the, exQueen was driven, direct to the Hotel Shoreham. Rather fatigued by her trip she retired and refused herself to all callers. Concerning her visit. Mr. Palmer said: "The Queen is traveling in her capacity as a private lady, ujoilihave no doubt that she will follow the samo rule here that she did in Roston in declining any eifiicial attentions." "How long does -the 'expect to stay in Washington?" .,, -. t" "I have not the slightest idea. The Queen enjoys travel immensely, and is visiting Washington preM.ely as any private person wouii do." ,j : "Will she be given an -audience with the President while she is here?" "As to that I really cannot say. She has not said a word on the. aubje-et, and 1 do not even know- thup'she . would desire an audience." . ; -i "Is she on her way. back to Honolulu?" "I cannot say- anything on that point, either. If she has any plans at all for the future she has not ..taken me into her confidence. I do not know, how Long she will be in Washington, where she will go whe'n she leaves, or whether 1 :diall go with her." That the ex-Quee-ti wants and expects to see President Cleveland during her stay here is almost a certainty. This much was admitted to-day by" one who enjoys her confidence. Captain 'Palmer, however, reit-erate-H to-night that. Ik; elid not know whether the Queen would see or wanted to have an Interview, .with the President. "So far." he added, "there has been no communication or intimatloui of any kind looking to a meeting withthe , President." Though the length of . the ex-Queen's stay here is indrt!tn4tv he is like ly to go from here to Philadelphia, and only after visiting several other cities start homeward Her preseiivl .plan is to get back to Hawaii in the spring. The ex-Queen is traveling comparatively 'simply. Instead of being accompanied by a retinue of servants she is depending on -the employes of the hotel for fulfilling, servants' duties. Captain Palmer says that she has no tnceme of any sort from the Hawaiian government, and her income is .derived entirely from her bwn property on, the islands. WANT -RECEIVER REMOVED.

CLEWS PUT TOGETHER

THILir SCOTT'S STOltV IX COXXECTIOX WITH REDMOXD 311' ItDEIt. He Describe the Movement of IHU Shannon, of Locansuort A Lone 3Iustaclie Shaved. Last night Philip Scott, a teamster, told Captain Dawson, of the police eiepartment, a story which may throw some light upon the Redmond murder. Scott is the man who went to the rescue of Patrolman Cronln when he was attacked by a gang of negro toughs at the time Frank Stubbs bit off the patrolman's car. On account of his act the members of the police force made up a purse for Scott and presented him with a ' new suit of clothes. Scott came here from Logansport and was well acquainted here. . "Last Tueselay night," he said. "I was in a South Illinois-street auction house bidding on a revolver. It was a thirty-eight caliber. British bulldog and was not ejulte new. It haei probably been carrieel a while, but not used much. I was going to buy it for a barber, and he gave me a dollar. I bid SO cents and heard some one raise me to PO cents. I went to $1 and the other man bid $1.10, and the pistol was knocked down to him. When he went forward to get it, I recognized him as Bill Shannon. He took the pistol and walked out. "Bill Shannon was peculiar for the mustache he wore. It was his most' prominent feature and any person in attempting to describe him would be sure to speak of the mustache first. It was thin and long, drooping below his mouth. -It was dark brown in color, and such a mustache that any person seeing it once would always remember. I die! not see him anv more after that until Friday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock. He was then in Moran's saloon, at the corner of Washington and West streets. He was alone, but since then I have learneel that he was in company during the earlier part of the afternoon and shortly after I saw him, with a man who answers the description of John Burns, his brother-in-law-, of Monticello, anel also of the man who w:as with the murderer in the attempted robbery of Eldridge. I am positive that Shannon had his mustache'when in Moran's saloon. But the next time I saw him he was clean shaven. "I went to the Union Station this morning at o'clock to meet a friend of mine and while waiting in the car shed. Shannon came along and passed through the gates. I spoke to him and asked him where he was going and he replied, 'Up the road a piece.' I noticeel then that he was clean shaven. After that, I read In the Journal of the murder of Frank Redmond and later in the News of the fact that the murderer hael probably had his mustache shaved off in Kline's barber shop on Massachusetts avenue, anel 1 became impressed with the idea that Shannon and the man who committed the murder certainly did possess many points of resemblance." The Journal telephoned to Captain Skelton, of the Logansport police last night. He saw Shannon on the street at logansport last Tuesday and he wore no mustache at that time. Shannon has served a jail sentence there for attempting to hold up a man. A Logansport policeman saw him last night in company with another man, and while both answer the description of the robbers to some extent, the officials there eloubt that they are the men wanted. Captain Dawson will investigate further today. A HAT FOLXD. It Hears the Mark of u Denier at St. Louis. The murder of Fireman Frank E. Redmond was the chief topic discussed about the city yesterday. Redmond was very well known and exceedingly popular among his acquaintances. Everywhere his death has aroused indignation. In street cars and in stores and offices the subject of the murder seemed to take precedence among conversational subjects. On the platforms of the street cars there was never a elearth of talk on the subject. Redmond was In the employ of the street-railroad company so long that he was known to all the old employes of the company by association, and since his appointment as a member of the lire eiepartment he had opportunity to keep up his friendly relations with the men. As a street car man and as a fireman ho was throw n in with other men a great deal, and was known to many hundre-ds of people who did not know him by name. The murder has been the cause of the revival of talk about other murders that have eiecurred here and which were never satisfactorily unraveled. The murder of Leo Hirth, the West Washington-street saloon keeper, was the most recent one which is compared with this. It Is salel by some of those who recall the Hirth murder vividly that the two men who committed the crime answer to the same general description of the two who attempted the Eldridge robbery which resulted in the killing of Redmond. In the case of Hirth the shooting was done by the taller of the two men and on very small provocation for shooting. His partner had made his escape from the house, and the murderer himself could easily have evaded Hirth, but he allowed Hirth to follow him almost to the rear window of the saloon and residence and then stopped, took eleliherate aim and shot his man dead. In the Redmonel case, according to the best information, the robber ran to the mouth of the alley where it was dark, and then stopped, steadied himself against the fence, and. taking careful aim at Redmond, shot to kill. He hael every aelvantage. for he was In the dark and coukl see every movement of Redmond, while Redmond, coming out of the light, could not see into the alley. He alloweel Redmond to get within a few feet of him and then tired. Like the Hirth murder, it was cold-blooded and not necessary to the escape of the robber who .committed it. The use of the bloodhounds in this case recalls the famous Watterson murder, which occurred the night before Christmas three years ago. Watterson was a Merchant policeman who attempted to arrest some robbers who were burglarizing a meat market near the corner of Seventh and North Capitol avenue. He was stabbed to death and the robbers escaped. Bloodhounds were put on the trail the day after the murder, uneler very unfavorable circumstances, but their work showed in some de-gree how the tight and murder hael occurred. They traced the murderers across some vacant lots and into an outhouse where blood was found, indicating that ope of the murderers had been wounded. From the outhouse the murderer had gone back Into the street and thence his route was followeel to the northeastern part of the city. The work of the bloodhounds threw suspicion on two men. George W. Powell, who was superintendent of police at the time, is confident that he knows the murderers, but he could not submit any substantial evidence against them. One of them is In the penitentiary now for another crime. NO TANGIBLE CLEW YET. Although working with tireless energy on the case, the police have not re'ally found any tangible clew to the identity of the murderer of Redmond. Yesterday morning Harry Bowers called at the police station and told the superintendent that if two men who sold a wrench to Mr. Eldridge during the afternoon of Friday could be found the robbers and murderer would in all probability be identified. lie said tfifat during the afternoon two men had come Into Eldrldge's second-hand store while he was in there and had sold a wrench: that Mr. Eldridge had occasion to open his pocketbook in their presence. He said the two men answered the description of the men who had committe'd the robbery and murder. He said further that the same two men had once palnteel a sign for him. but he did not know their names or addresses. He said, however, that they had painted a sign for a man on East Washington street, and had put their business sign on it. The detectives were set to work upon the clew and last night Walter Rupe and Harry Thome were brought to the police station for examination. Bowers Identified them as the men who sold the wrench and this they admitted, hut the persons who saw the men who committed the robbery were positive that they were not the men. Rupe and Thome are sign painters who have always borne good reputations. They were

able also to Rive evidence of an alibi and were not held, the police belnjr satisfied that Bowers hail been mistaken in the belief that the same men who sold the wrench had committed the crimes in the evening. Every possible thread which might lead to the discovery of a clew was run duwn by the police. It mattered, not what the source of the information or how small the thread mifiht be. it was carefully investigated until It was known that there was nothing in it. Several of the most reliable patrolmen worked in citizens' clothing, aiding the detectives. THE PISTOL FOUND. Yesterday morning H. C. Page; of 22 Brett street, found the pistol with which it is supposed Redmond was killed. He found it in the tirst alley south of St. Joseph street, between Fort Wayne avenue and Alabama street. It is a cheap British bulldog pattern, shooting a thirty-eight-caliber ball. One chamber only was empty, and it was evident that the shot which emptied it had recently been tired, for there was fresh powder smoke in the barrel. The revolver was not rusty, indicating that It had not lain there long. This alley was in the course taken by the dqgs in pursuing the murderer. John G. Kline, a barber at 5.1 Massachusetts avenue, reported to the police yesterday that he had shaved a man shortly after the murder was committed, who might have been the murderer. It was at 7:43 o'clock that two men stepped up to the door of his shop. One of them remained outside, notwithstanding the severe cold, and paced up and down before the nhop while the otner was getting shaved. The. taller of the two men it was who was shaved. He had a long dark brown mustache when he entered th shop, and his face seemed to have been shaved not more than eight or. ten hours before. He asked that he be shaved and that his mustache be taken off. Kline followed his instructions. He says the man .was very nervous when he entered the shop, and that his clothing was soiled, and there was dirt on the knees of his trousers, which might have been made by kneeling on the ground. FINDING OP THE HAT. The hat which was probably worn by the taller of the robbers the one who committed the murder was found yesterday morning in Mr. Eldridge's store. It is a well worn black stiff hat, 7 size, containing a white lining and the name of George Thit, Eighth and Pine streets, St. Louis. It also contained a price mark of J2.30. The fact that a man ran into Buschman's store at Fort Wayne avenue and St. Mary's street about 7 o'clock the night of the murder and bought a cap. saying that a boy had grabbed his and run. and that the bloodhounds stopped at Buschman's on tho tlrst trail. Is taker, as good evidence that the hat belongs to the tallrr of the two robbers and the one who did the murder. It Is probable that Redmond's mother will be entitled to the benefits of a dependent mother under the law creating the liremen's pension fund. He was not killed while performing v ork in the strict line of work for which he was appointed, but he was acting in the capacity of a conservator cf the peace, a tacit duty which has always been imposed upon members of the fire department, though not delegated to them. Chief Barrett said lat night that the law would certainly be construed so us to apply to thU cas?. Mrs. Redmond would receive JlW a month, according- to Chief Barrett's interpretation of the law. Redmond's funeral will occur to-morrow afternoon at 1 o'clock from his late residence. No. r5 Broadway, it will be conducted by the Red Men. assisted by the firemen. A delegation of firemen, consisting of one man from each company, will attend the funeral In a body In full uniform. A coincidence which was commented upon yesterday was in the place where Redmond was murdered. At the corner of the alley where he was shot Is a theatrical bill board. 1 so hapjened that on this occasion the bills are advertising the drama "In Darkest Russia." The particular scene described in the bill.- on this loard is where a. man falls dead in the snow. While the curious looked at the blood which stained the real -snow where Redmond was murdered they had but to raise their eyes to see the reproduction cf an almost similar scene in fiction. .
