Talk of Suppressing the Dynamiters nhat lien. Grant Desires .slcDonaid and the Cabinet. Proposing Now Laws to Preserve the Public Domain Secretary Lincoln on Hazen's Charges. DYNAMITE AND DYNAMITERS. Members of Congress Aroused by the PneIan Case to the Dangers of Permit, ting tho Freo Manufacture of .Explosives for England epedal to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 12. But little patience ia Ehowu by the statesmen here with men who enact euch tragedies as the one which blood-stained the office of O'Donovan Rossa, in New Yoik, on Friday. Were such an incident within tbe purview of a Congressional investigation the participants would be called before a committee here, bat it has been determined that Congress can tage no notice of each a matter, any more than it conld attempt to look after the causes which led to a street fUnt in Chicago or Indianapolis. It has been proposed, however, that an inquiry be made into the necessity of legislation on the subject cl the manufacture and thipment of infernal machines, and it may be that that will be done, if not this winter then next Irae American statesmen '.believe the dynamiters should be suppressed, and that all the legislation needed on the subject to bring about suppression should be forthcoming. A few there are, however, who will fight any proposed step of this kind, even at the peril of our friendly relations with Great Britain. Tbey believe in dynamite and its use by the Fenians upon British people and British property. If they do not lay so in Congress, they do in pmate, where thf y icyeigh against publication. Much comment has been made on tbe subject of dynamite in diplomatic circles. More than a year ago English authorities ciHcd the attention of the President to the statement that large quantities of dynamite and infernal machines were manufactured within the United States, to be employed against Great Britain, and asked that something be done to stop it. What was done is not known. It was done through the Department of State and is a State secret. Tho legislators . are . pretty - weil aroused now, however, and if the agitation continues until the next session of Congress something, it is believed, will be done to protect English interests hero. Now England hss to employ her own agents to soot refugees and others in this country conspirirg in tho work of dynamite. (JEXEKlL (iK INT. UliHt the Old War Horse Want U to be Placed on the Retired List With ills linck Pay. Special to the Sentinel. Vasuinutox, Jan. 12. reople ia Wa9hirgknare, as a general thinp, yf ry much puzzled over the jugglery of General Grant's poverty. First he appears to solicit help and tten e refuses it. A New York Congressman, who is the personal friend of the old war hero, said to me tc-day : "I can tell you aU that General Grant wants aud all he has wanted during the time he has been cut of the White Housp. He wants to be placed on the retired lis, with pay from the time be gave up the no" tion of General of the Army nV now. He told me this himself. ft thinis it due him; and so d I. We can aiford to go little to extremes mth just one hero, when the old countries go much further wit'i many of their old warriors. I think General Grant would be highly pleased if he were placed on the retired list of the army, dating from March 4, 1S77. The pay ha would get would just about afford him means to pay Vanderbilt's claim ajainst him, and the height of the old man's ambition is independence." "Would General Grant pay Vanderbil with the money Congress would give hioo?" "Yes, sir," replied the Congressman; "and that is one of the reasons he is so anxious abcut It. He thinks, too, that his refcsal of contributed aid from friends will precipitate Congressional action. Then he could liquidate the debt and be under obligations only to his country in common. It is very humiliating to General Grant, ail this controversy over his financial affairs." "What will be the rf suit of it?" 'I have hopes yet that Congress will paw the retirement bill before March. Should it not do so, however, it will next winter. The Democrats intend to do it, and they want it done all under their administration and Cleveland to sign the bill. General Grant told me more than eight years ago that he thought the talk about his being President again was folly. I am sure he thinks so now. ii A Radical Change Inspected by Washington Office holders. Special to the Sentinel. W8hington, Jan. 12. Should President Cleveland conclude te employ a new broom in tbe departments here there will be little dirappciutment or surprise. Generally it is expected that he will make very many and radical changes. The assurances of civil

service reformers hava availed little. The men who are classed among politicians are all ready to go and expect the order. There will be no test of the civil service law by those who are superseded. If the Senate confirms the nominations of men appointed to tenure offices wheie terms have not expired that will settle it, and that the Ssaate will do, so has been predicted by such men as Hawley, Sherman and others.

EX-SEXATOK Jl'DONALD. lion, John C. New Speaks Highly of McDonald In an Interview by the Washington Critic. Erecial to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 12. Tonlight theCrltlO says: "From what I have teen and heard, and alter reasoning with tbe si tuation, I should think taere Is little doubt that ex-Senator McDonald will be included In tbe make-up of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet," 6aid Hon. John C. New, of Indiana, to a Critic reporter to day, "fie is indorsed by the entire party la his BUte," continued Mr. New, "and hiB friends everywhere confidently expect to see him in the Cabinet, and if he is not given a place there will be not a little disappointment, fcenator McDonald Is one of the brainiest men In tbe Democratic party, and with his thorough honor and integrity he woull strengthen tbe counsels of any President. lie U held In very high esteem by all rlasses at his home. With Senator McDonald in the Cabinet, the ranks of the Democracy In Indiana would be well closed up. Leading men would be in prominent positions, and should tbiok Democrats would be universally satisfied." Mr. New sail ex-Governor Porter would likc'v e gien the complimentary vots for United Sta vi Sentorby tbe republicans of tbe Legislature. THE l'UISLIC LANDS lieports From the Seuate Committee on Public Lands Proposing Ullis for New Regulations. Washington, Jan. 12. Senator Van Wyck to-day submitted a report from the Senate Committee on Pablic Lands to accompany the bills also reported by him relating to the fencing of public lands. In the report the committee say that without the least authority, and in open and bold defiance of the rights of the Government, large and oftentimes foreign corporations deliberately inclose hundreds of thousands of acres, closing the avenues of travel and preventing the occupancy of lands by those Eeeking homes. They alleged that the lands within their in closures still remained open to settlement, jet no humble settler with scant me ins for the necessaries of life would presuma to enter any such enclosure to seek a home. The Government has sufficient authority to drive those seeking home lrom the Indian Territory, and to burn the ranches of thoe invading tbe Yellowstone Pirk, while tb.oe appropriating waste areas are hoping the only remedy to be ued against tnem will be law and delay of the courts; therefore, the committee hai added a new section to the House bill, authorizing the Preside it to summarily remove all obstructions, and. if necessary, use the military power of tbe United States. Senator Dolph to-day reported favorably from tbe Public Land Committee a biil to amend tbe act for the sale of timber lands ia California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington Territory, by striking out tbe words "until for cultivation" and "not fit for agriculture." The report says the object of the amendment is to allow land chiefiy valuable for timber and in its present state unfit for agricultural purpose, and which can not re rendered tit for cultivation except by an outlay greater than the value of the land after it is cleared, to be sold for its timber. The Secretary of the Interior held that under the present law no timber land, which it fes pots'ble to clear, and which if it were clen-d woold be suitable for cultivation, could be sold as timber land. Mr. Dolph also reported from the ssme committee adversely cn the House bill for tho relief of settlers on the Mouelamos ltancho, California. The ground upon which the Committee's action is based, is the fan that by the recent action of the Executive Department tbe matter is soon to come before the courts for judicial determination. LIEUTENANT ('ARLINGTON. TheSecretary of WarSendsa Memorandum to General ilazen Showing Why II Coincides With the Deciolon of the Conrt of Inijatry. Washington, Jan. 12. Adjuta-t Genera" Drum forwarded to day to General W. B. Hazen, Chief Signal Officer of ths United States Army, a memorandum prepared by tbe Secretary of War, to express his views with regard to the charges recently preferreJ by General Hazen against Lieutenant Oa-. lington, in connection with tbe tatter's management of the Greely relief expeditioi o 18S3. There are. Secretary Lincoln siys, two charges against Lieutenant Garlington first, disobedience of orders, with five specifications; second, neglect of duty, with thirteen specifications, both being laid under the sixty-second article of war. After starting some of the specifications are not worthy of consideration, except as mere incidental matter, the Secretary says: The second and third specifications on the first charge are in substance that Lieutenant Garlington disobeyed orders in that he failed to properly examine the caches at points were landings were made, and neglected to replace with fresh supplies such articles of food in the caches as he found damaged. In considering these specifications Secretary Lincoln concludes, from instructions of June 20, 1SS3, to Lieutenant Garlington, and from the testimony of the Chief 8ignal OlLcer and Lieutenant Garlington that it was understood that getting through to Lady Franklin Bay wa? not to be hampered by any delay not caused by an ice barrier; the whole tenor of Lieu tenant Garlington's instructions, as they appear by the evidence before the Court of Inquiry to have been understood by thu Chief Signal Officer and himself, are suh that, in the opinion of the Secretary of War, a conviction disobediance of orders, in not landing supplies cn tbe way north, could not, under the circumstances, be ascertained I Nothing has more clearly com a oa: in the

evidence than that it was not tbe purpose or wish of the Chief Signal Orficer that Lieutenant Garlington should on his way corthward rrake a depot at or reir Litileton Island. Lieutenant Greely waeted the vessel of 1883 to leave about 500 ntiocB on the west side of Smith's Sound. This is ju?t about what Lieutenant Garlington did leave on the west side of Smith's Sound, out of stores saved from the wreck of the Proteus, and therefore, down to the point from which Lieutenant Greely expected to reach the relief station at or near Littleton Inland he was provided substantially as be himself requested. The Secretary goes through the different specifications and shows that the Court of rjaquiry waa perfectly right In its conclusions. U&iliugton Diappoiuted The Nicaragua Treaty. Washington, Jan. 12. The refusal of the Secretary of War to order a court martial on the charges preferred by General Hazen is great disappointment to Lieutenant Garlington. By his counsel and in person he re peatedly ur;ed the ordering of such court, and he learns with great regret the decision of the Secretary of War. The Senate spent three hours today in a secret discussion of tbe Nicaraguan treaty. Senator Miller, of California, made a long formal speech in its support, giving a history of tbe negotiations from beginning, andSena'cr Sherman made an equal formal speech in opposition, baaing his argument chiefiy on the belief that the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty was etill in force. At the conclusion of the debate a motion was made to have tbe two speeches printed for the use of the Senate in executive session, but it was withdrawn upon a suggestion of the danger that the topics might reach the press and the public. THE JANSEN ClSE

Olf.cers of an American Ship Again Et atnlned for the Murder of a Kuselan Sailor. London, Jan. 12. The examination of William Ilanschier, second mate, and Ferdinand Koelpin, boatswain, of the American ship I. F. Chapman, for the murder of Seaman A. Jansen, while on a voyage from San Francisco to Liverpool, was resumed this .afternoon. The case attracts much attention, and the court-room was crowded. The prisoners were arrested in Liverpool in the latter part of December, upon the arrival of the ship in that porL Their arreu was brought about by the testimony of the crew to the cruel treatment of Jansen. After Jansen, who was a Russian Finn, had shipped, the Captain found rea?3n to suspect that he was penniless and sick, and had joined the crew for the sole purpose of securing a passage td .Europe. Jansen's inability was resented t?y the Captain as a pre -tec se to shirk his tak3, and when tqa sh ip was two days out, that officer kicked him savrgely, and struck him in the face because he did not "poll harder" in hoisting tbe topgallant fail. The second mate asd boatswain took their cue from the Captain, and give Junten such ill usage thereafter that his death, which occurred at ea, October 8, is attr buted to the horrible cruelties indicted by prisoners. At a preliminary hearing at Birkenhead, a probable case was made out against Kanscbier and Koelpin, and they v ere remanded. Harcourt, the Home Secretary, then assumed control of the cas?, and had the prisoners removed to London to facilitate extradition to the United St a1 es, in care the American authorities decided to prosecute them. The session of the ccurt tbis afterncon was occupied in hearing the testimony of tke ship carpenter, Andrew Johntcn. He fully corroborate! the testimony of Joseph Brisk aud Frederick, able teamen. Jvitea Joan s-vmts the prisoners continually con polled Jansen to attempt tak"j he was t o fak to acornpliab, and when the man hesitated or ssals dovn from weakness tkty k;'cfcd him in ilia stonifcch HLd belab j7ei him with Iraps or ropes, tied him up by the thumb.?, or p!ac?d him in perilaas position., a it to have hirn fall overboard He ws frequently ti'd up by tbe thumbs in such a way that th tipa of his toes barely torched the deck, aod ? tbai at every rock of tbe vessel he would be swung from bulwark to bnlwartr, his entire weight sospanded by the thumbs It was intimated by the i'ndge, at the opening of the hearing, that larcourt had hsced a freh warrant for tie arrest of tbe prisoners at the instance of the United States for extradition. The Secretary of Legation watched the esse in behalf of America. The evidence previou9iy given was prtsented once more and the case adjourned. GENERAL. FOBEIGN NKWS. Circa. Shakghai, Jan. 12.

Marshal Wright ras recalled and testified that he had authorized two or three clerks to sign his name to commissions. To Mr. Van Alstyne he said he had not given such authority to E. G. Bathbone. Thomas M. Card well, of Harrodsbug, Ky., testified he was in Cincinnati on election day with about fifteen others. All of the United States revenue officers were acting as Deputy Marshals. He said he came on a request to spot repeaters from Kentucky. He did not see any inch repeaters. He bit? three or four Democrats here who said they were here to watch him. He was armed. The way of it was this: He was asked on Monday night to help arret t some police who had arrested Mr. Harrison, and said he would arrest all the police in the city if they would give him something to do it with. Deputy Marshal Snjder then gave him a bull dog revolver. Benjamin Lee Harpin, also of Harro isburg, brother-in-law of Cardweil, said he was here with other Democrats looking for B publican repeaters.

THE I'll ELAN AFFAUf. Tli3 Wounded Man's Condition Are Uoim and Kearney English Spies? Tho Captain Sajs They Are. York, Jan. 12. At the hospital today it was repcrted that Captain Phelan is progressing very satisfactorily, most of the stab wr.unds in his head and chest being already healed. It is expected that the wound which iractured the bone of his left arm, and the most serioui flesh wound ot all in tbe left arm, will be qaite healed to-night. The Captain's wife arrived.to day from KanA3 City. Captain Theln felt so well yesterday thit he began to lay plans for the prosecution of his efrailant, and wa9 in consultation with F. W. Beilly daring the forencoa. The Captain would not make public tbe letters which induced him to come to New Yor, sajiDg they would be seen by no one until read In court. He expected to prove a conspit scy on the part of O'Donovau Ilos;a, Kearney, O'Brien, Joyce and Short to lure him here for assassination. He declared to a friend jetterday, that he would try to expese the dynamiters, and at tbe same time thaw that Boe a and Kearney are English epics. He taid he had documents at home that would prove tbis. When he was in England &vd learned that cone one bed cabied over about the dynamite on board tbe sleamer Queen, he had his eyes opened aud investigated the matter for Lis o?ra benefit. He collected evidence enough to convince him that Eossa and Blarney were making a living in the service cf England, and gaining cheap notoriety by planning explosions, deluding poor Irishmen into the belief that they were working for Ireland, and then exposing everything and taking the credit in England of having befriended the people tbere, and in this country humbly accepting the homage of misled Irishmen who believed them to be at the head of the aggressive party. PISTOL FUSILLADE. Some Very Kapid Firing- in the Mascot Office Nobody Seriously Hurt. New Orleans, Jan. 12, At 12:15 to-day great excitement was caused on Camp street by the rapid firing of pistol shots so rapid that some thought a bunch of firecrackers was being exploded. The firing took place in the Mascot office, 3 Camp street, up stairs, between J. D. Houston, State Tax Collector, and George Osmond, editor of the Mascot. It is also stated that Bobert Brewster, State Begister of Voters, accompanied Houston and took part in the shooting. Houston and Osmond each received a pistol shot wound in the hand. The trouble was canted by the publication in yesterday's Mascot, reflecting severely udou Judge Houston and his brother, J. D Houston. Houston tnj she called at tbe Mascot office to puLithO:n:oEd ; that he used a stick, aud only

pulled his pistol after Osmond had drawn his. He received a shot in the right hand, dropped his pistol, picked it cd with the left and fired but ence. Osmond says: "I waa sitting at my desk In the oMic when two men came up. One waa J. D. Houston, and the other I knew by sieht, bat not by name. Houston asked me if my name wa Osmond, and I answered yes, and he etruck me over the heed ith a club, aud then pulled his pistol and started thootiDj. I was hit in the rieht hand. There were over ten shots fired. Tfircd two and shot Houston. The man who was with Houston kept shooting at Zenneck, who was throwing things at him. I have not the slightest idea as to what reason Houston .atiackel me for." Adolph Zenneck, one of the proprietors of tie Mascot, eays: "I was in the office when Houstcn and Brewster came." Znneck then corroborated Osmond's statements as to what occurred, and says: "Brewster fired at me. Having no gun, I thre the top cf the stove at him. Houston, aftsr firing to thots, walked away, and 1 followed bim to the stairway, where he fired at rjce egain. The other fellow, Brewster was desperate and kept peppering at me, but did not hit me."
