Quebec, June 2.—John Eno, the New
York ex-bank president, who was arrested
when about to sail as a passenger on the
■teamer Vancouver, was brought before
judge Tessir, of the Court of Queen's
Bench, to-day, on a writ of habeas corpus
issued on Saturday night. Eno came into
court accompanied by Mr. dale, high con
stable of Quebec. There was a large array
of legal talent on both sides. J. M.
Holmes, as deputy marshal, watched
the case on behalf of ids government.
Mr. Hubbard, of New York, watched
Jhe interest of the Second National Bank.
•Mr. Dunbar, Queen's counsel, appeared
on behalf <>f the accused. Ho asked for
Eno's liberation, principally on the ground
of informality and illegality of the warrant
which had l»ecn issued for his arrest. He
said the warrant was so defective that the
magistrate ought to be arrested for issuing
it Other counsel for the defense followed
in the same strain. Mr. David, Queen’s
counsel, of Montreal, appeared on behalf
of the defrauded bank, lie resisted the
application for the liberation of the ac
cused, and held that the warrant
was legally issued. After some
discussion between opposing counsel, the
judge adjourned the court for a few houre
tha the mi^ht have time to considers

When the court reopened, the judge de
clared the warrant was so defective that
be had to discharge the prisoner. Bisson-
cti,the constable who made the arrest,
then exhibited another warrant for Eno's
arrest and attempted to serve it. The
judge threatened hint with arrest if he
dared execute it in the presence of the
Court. _
SHOT IN HIS BED.
A Worthy Citizen of Cochran Shot While
Aateap In Hie Bad.
Cochran, June 2.—On yesterday morn
ing our town was thrown into a state of
the most profound consternation at 1
o’clock by the shocking announcement
that Mr. Joe Dykes, one of the moat .up
right and beat citizens of this place, had
been shot In his bed. Hastening to the

police, has advised the government to
place at the disposal of the chief a large-
sum of secret service money, with which
to buy information regarding treasonable
and other criminal projects, without re
vealing the Informers. The chief of police
reports that certain conspirators are ready
to sell information which they possess,
provided their names are kept secret.
AN ENCYCLICAL LETTER.
London, June 2.—An encyiical letter
from the Pope was read in the Catholic
churches throughout England to-day,
warning the people against joining secret
societies, under pain of excommunica
tion. The letter says that Free masonry,
at its inception was probably merely a
friendly society, hut if so, it asks, when
was the necessity for blind obedience de
manded of its votaries.

London, June 1.—In a recent interview.
Arabi Pasha declared that the events in
the Soudan were the outcome of the un
wise policy pursued by English clemency,
and inquiry into the people's grievances
could alone restore order; otherwise there
would be frightful bloodshed befoie an end
was readied. I*, was certain that
the Mahdi would never make overtures
for peace, and that he would fight until
captured or hilled. Arabi declined to say
whether he believed the Mahdi to be a
true prophet. He said he felt the highest
regard for the British, and hoped to see
the day when Egyptians in Egypt would
be on the same footing as the English in
Egland.

London, June 2.—The Porte has finally
agreed to enter the Egyptian conference,
provided England and France will agree

ADVICE TO THI UNITED STATES.
Paris, June 2.—The JUpubUque Fran-
eais publishes an article this morning se
verely condemning the United States for
allowing the dynamitera to complete their
organization and plan outrages in Amer
ica. It expresses the conviction that
America ere long will recognize that the
K resent state of things cannot be allowed

in insisting that the authorities at Wash
ington shall cease to tolerate preparations
for outrages which are now made In Amer
ica. America will show herself worthy of
her just reputation by ending this odious
scandal. _

Berlin, June 2.‘—The German press is
filled with indignation at the news of tiie
lust explosions in London. It declares
that there will be no occasion for aston
ishment if reprisals should occur.
St. Petersburo, June 2.—The Russian
press attributes the London exptysions to
a desire on the part of the originators to
raise funds.
London. June 2.—The Telegraph says:
The dynamiters are directed by leaders in
New York, who are protected by the toler
ation of the Americans. An increased
number of detectives should be sent to
New York to watch them, and *n npj>eal
should be made to the American govern
ment not to harbor assassins.

nationalist meetings.
Dublin, June 1.—A large meeting of
Nationalists was held at Mullingar to-day.
Messrs. Headly, Dawson and Kenny were
E resent. At a banquet given this evening,
iessrs. Sullivan and Harrington, mem
bers of Parti anient. were each presented
with a purse of £3o0. Nationalist meet
ings were also held outside the town of
Ncwry, despite the fact that a proclama
tion had been issued prohibiting
such gatherings. Five hundred police
men and two troops of lancers
were drafted from Dublin to prevent drs
turbances. Great excitement prevailed in
and about Newry. Messrs. Biggar and
O’Brien addressed the people as they were
leaving church, advising them to come to

Modification of Its Powers Probable in the
Near Future.
Special Correspondence of the Chronicle.
Atlanta, Ga., Juno 3.—Referring to the
Railroad Commission and ito powers, I
have seen a statement in the Macon Tele
graph and Messenger, editorially given,
that a certain railway enterprise in the
State bad halted because capitalists would
not invest in it on account of the arbitrary
control over the management given to the
com mission. I know myself of a similar
case. A very important line of road, run-
ng through a valuable section, connect
ing feeding points, and partially graded,
would to.day be in the hands of men who
desire to invest their money in it. but they
decline because they are afraid to invest in
pro|>erty whose management Is in the
hands of officials.
1 would not be understood as meaning
to urge tho repeal of the law creating a
commission, and I believe that the rail
roads themselves do not desire this. But
I do believe that a modification of the ex
traordinary powers of tho commission
would not only be in conformity with a
proper public policy nnd on tho line of the
law and the constitution, but it.would be
for the interest of tue public and for the
benefit of all of our private enterprises.
And I believe it must come to this soon.
Foreign capital lias been and is ready to
come into our railway projects. The rail
way is the greatest single instrumentality
of our progress. Any public policy that
frightens away capital from our midst in
any line of investment should be carefully
cousideied. It is a fact that an important
railway enterprise is languishing. It be
hooves the people to dispassionately inves
tigate the matter. It is to be regretted
that in the discussion upon the subject
there should have arisen some little asper
ity and a tendency to a dogmatic spirit.
We cannot reach the truth by this sort of
feeling.
Those who believe in the commission
must do so because they believe its re-
•ults to be good. They must be reached by
a practical demonstration of the error of
their views. Those who advocate m modi
fication of the powers of tho commission,
so as to make it rather an arbiter between
the people and the railroads and not the
arbitral master of our railwavs, are gov
erned by their conviction of the public in
terests, and the champions of the commis
sion ns it stands must respect their sin
cerity.
I have not aliaded to the question of the
effect of the action of the commission on
the income of the railroad:. The man-
ngers complain that their profits have
been cut down to an injurious figure and
their stock has depreciated. This would
constitute an additional and very strong
reason for looking into the matter fairly
and dispassionately. The next General
Assembly should investigate tho subject
and do what is for the public welfare.

Washington, June 2.—Dispatches re
ceived here this evening, declaring that the
Arthur managers at Chicago had given up
hope and were striving to turn their men
over to Postmaster-General Gresham,
have excited more interest than any
convention news hitherto received from
the West. It is generally believed
to be true, and the stay-at-home politicians
are now trying to guess whether or not
enough of the Arthur votes can be deliver
ed to secure Gresham's nomination.
Opinions differ widely on this point, but

Paris, June L—The Vienna correspon
dent of the Gauloit says: “There are
symptoms of a break up of the triple alli
ance. Since the interviews between M. dr

fairs, and Prince Bismarck, at Friedrichs-
robe, the mutual eonfldences of the courts

The Pre.idcnt's friends, who seem to be
steadily falling off in number, deny that
he is out of the race, but asserts that
Uresham could poll most of the Arthur
votes if it was thought advisable. Visitors
to the White House this evening say that
the Arthur crowd is demoralized, and that
the air there is decidedly deurcsstng. Tiie
information that comes over the Presi
dent's private wire Is not such as to en
courage bis intimate associates to shout
with joy. Mr. Uresham has many warm
friends here, even among those who have
hoped tosee Blaine or Arthur nominated,
and. if the convention's choice should fall
upon him, the news would bawell received
in Washington.
Mr. Blaine and most of hie family left
here thia afternoon for his home in Au

the hot weather. A number of friends said
good bye to hint at the atation, and ex
pressed their hope of congratulating him

Equal Protection to All Property.
Watcross Reporter.
“Railroad property asks nothing
more than to be put on a footing of
equality, in tho matter of protection,
with all other property. No good rea
son has ever been given for placing
railroad interests beyond the pale of
protection.”
A citizen picked up a copy of tiie
Macon Telegraph ash Messenger tho
other day, and, reading tiie above par
agraph, asked tho question: when
wero railroad interests placed beyond
the pale ot protection, and by what au
thority? stating at tho same time that
ho lived in tho country, and though ho
read two or tlireo newspapers, he knew
nothing about it. A bystander
explained that he supposed tho
paragraph was written in allu
sion to the Railroad Commission
law of the State, by which tho Com
mission were empowered to alterand
change tho railroad freight tariffs as
they thought proper; and in the event
that any railroad company refused to
obey tiie behests of tiie Commission,
that such company bo prosecuted by
the Commission nnd a heavy fine im
posed for each offense. Why, said the
citizen, 1 was iu favor of tho Railroad
Commission myself, hut that takes the
milroaiis virtually out of the hands of
the railroad companies, and places
their management in the hands of tho
Commission.
That waa not the object 1 had in view
when l (favored tho Commission. I
thought it was to regulate, not to take
possession of or confiscate tiie railroads.

and James Richards. Some interest is
being manifested in Congressional politics,
and Col. Hammond’s friends are confident
that ho will receive the support of this
county. So far, very little has been said
about candidates for the Legislature and
none have been announced. It is proba
ble that prohibition will be the issue in the
coming campaign, as there is in the coun
ty a strong element of opposition to the
