Magoon has been fully cognizant of every move of these swashbuckling agitators. As long as they kept within the length of the rope allotted to them they were not disturbed but Parra's action in sending a sensational fake telegram to American newspapers caused an immediate roundup. More arrests are likely to follow, for Gov. Magoon knows the entire group of malcontents. The local newspapers all compliment Gov. Magoon upon his action. One suggests that an American militia now is in order.

Every effort is being made tonight to ascertain the identity of the person who last night sent a nws cablegram to a New York newspaper, as it is believed that his knowledge will be a valuable clew towards locating the

Americans here and In New York who are Interested in the movement. It appears that this cablegram waa brought Into the office by a negro, and It Is believed this man can bo found. The source whence the monty for the revolution came Is being sought diligently by secret service officials, who are confident that they can locate the firm which distributed the funds in Havana. The Havana press generally deprecates the movement, declaring It suicidal and unpatriotic. The Post In an editorial article declares the movement has no material importance, as the conspirators, although well supplied with money, are unable to muster a corporals guard from people of any standing, military, or oiherwise.

The surveyors believed Hassey was bluffing and continued working. They were met by a fusillade of bullets. Alaskans Talk of I.ynelitnit.

Ch.sago, Sept. 27. Another explo

concussion as mysterious in nature

as its predecessors shattered the rear

windows and doorway of the Morrison building at 123 and 125 South Clark

street, the greater part of the ground

iloor of which is occupied by the "cash register" business of Mont Tennes, the gambler. The explosion took place at 8:30 o'clock in a blind court running to the rear of this and adjoining buildings and opening out of the alley running east from Clark street between Madison and Washington streets. The court was littered with splintered wood torn by the force of the concussion from the doorway and window casements. A rickety stairway leading to the rear entrance of the premises apparently was the spot at which the explosive was aimed and this structure was partly demolished. The police, who reached the scene a few seconds after the explosion, were unable to secure any clews of value to the perpetrator of the act and are

as completely at sea as ever as to the

identity of the guilty person. One

man, S. F. Grier, a printer, who was

sleeping in his shop on the second

floor, was taken to Central detective

headquarters and questioned closely. He was unable to throw any light on

the mystery and was released. List Is Growing Long.

This is the third attack on Mont

Tennes. Since the beginning of the

campaign of bombs there have been eight other attacks aimed at gamblers. The explosions have occurred at these

places: JULY 8 Residenso of "Blind" John Condon, 2628 Michigan avenue. JULY 20 Saloon of John F. O'Malley. North Clark and Kinzie streets.

Graham's wall paper store, 149 North State street. Although Tennes for so many years was identified with this location as a gambling king, he insists that nothing but prosaic buying and selling of new and second hand cash registers occupies him at present at that address. In this he is backed up by the police,

who were as deeply insulted as Mr.

Tennes when it was suggested that

beyond the cash registers lay tne handbooks.

Mr. Tennes expressed the greatest

surprise when Informed that his business premises had been attacked. He said he couldn't see what grudge anybody could have against the modest

business of buying and selling cash

registers, new and second hand.

New York, Sept. 27. No more "courtesy" stops are made on the New York Central. John D. Rockefeller learned this when he wanted to take a fast train at Tarrytown to go to Chicago to testify before Judge Landis. Bishop Potter, too, wanted a fast train stopped somewhere up along the Hudson so he could get aboard, but was refused. One of the men who drafted the public utilities bill, which made "courtesy stops" illegal, forgot about the law and filed a request for, a stop at his summer home. He was referred to the provisions of his own bill.

Chicago, Sept. 27. Bert L. Lynch, 21.

of 11 South Leavitt street, deliberately

ran an automobile in which he was

seated with John Joss, 666 Sheffield

avenue, over a ninety foot cliff to the

bottom of a stone quarry near Summit, 111., yesterday afternoon and is

now dying at St. Anthony's hospital.

His companion saved his own life

by a remarkable exhibition of nerve ;

and strength. clasping both arms j

around a telegraph pole on the edge of 1

the abyss, as the front wheels of the machine shot out into space, after he had in vain tried to wrench the steering wheel from the ironlike grip of Lynch. A moment before the rush over the cliff the car was running smoothly on the road a hundred feet above. Lynch is skilled in the handling of automobiles and, according to witnesses, there can be no explanation of his strange action in running the car over the precipice other than that he was Impelled by a sudden impulse to dash himself and the man with him to death.

From the story told by Joss, Lynch appeared to be suddenly and strangely affected and. although he fought him with all his strength, he could not seize the steering wheel, and his attempts to throw on the brakes were also frustrated. Two Struggle for "Wheel. "The moment he hit the tracks I

leaned over and grabbed the wheel with both hands. I strained every muscle in my body to twist it out of

his grip, but it seemed that he was as powerful as a dozen men. As a last resort, and still In time to stop the machine on the brink of the horrible precipice which I could see in front of me, I tried to put my foot on the brake, but both his feet were there and I could not shove them away. "I looked into his face. It was set as though carved in marble. He did not say a word or hint that he understood what he was doing. It all happened in much less time than the story can be told, but even when I heard the fence crashing in toward the quarry I was trying to stop th car. "There was a telegraph pole beside

the car dropped from underneath me. I heard it strike below. The auto had collided with the telegraph pole, which now leaned over the abyss. I looked down and could see the mangled body of my companion. I almost lost consciousness." Calls It the "I.rap LMnt." Those who witnessed the terrible fall of Lynch are of one accord as to the cause. "It was "leap lust." " said an old quarryman. "There are people who cannot look down from a great height without wishing to jump, and they do unless restrained. I have seen men dragged away from the edge of the quarry many a time just in time to save their lives. Others have taken the fatal leap." For two blocks the machine had run right along the edge of the quarry before it went over. Far below a gang of laborers could be seen at their dally toil. The view appears to have fascinated Lynch. Something lured him on and he obeyed the impulse.
