London. Feb. 17.—The members of the
press bolding seats in the press gallery are
greatly exc.ted over the sj leaker's new regu
lations abolishing the rule granting to press
representatives admission to the inner lobby
of the house of commons and forbidding re
porters to go into the leading corridors or to
use committee rooms for the purpose of trans
scribiug their reports. \ deputation of
journalists has been app- in’tsl to see the
speaker with the view of min ing him to re
scind the objectionable regulations. The re
porters are urging the munagers of their
papers to suppress reports f deltat.*s unless
the restriction ■ are modified Several of the
morning papers have arti lee on the new
rules to be enforced at th* reassembling of
th«- house of v'omwus next Thursday. The
rules have been framed, it is .mid, with a view
of barring out reporters. The {>apers threaten
to retaliate by omitting reports of the delates
in the hr»u *.
i . an en ♦ of leading ulitoi* whs Lei I
and several plans of retaliation were I * niched.
The favorite project to report the actual
business transacted bj the house, a u a matter
of justice to tin* readers of the paj>ei>. but to
ignore the speeches of all the members, from
the highest to the lowest .
The new regulation for the admission of
people to the h«»u*« of commons are so sti in
gent as to amount almost to prohibition. The
members who a-k for permission from the
speaker to introduce persons will he held
answerable for the conduct of the persons so
admitted. Strangers will not be allowed to
promenade on the terrace even if escorted by
members.
I'olic»‘men Cole and Cox, who were so dan
geruusly wounded while endeavoring to pre
vent the recent dynamite explosion at West
minister hall, have received a numlier of val
uable presents in recognition of their heroic
efforts on that occasion. Mr. Gladstone has
given each of the gallant ofli era £SO from the
royal bounty fund. Sir William Harcourt,
the home s»x-retary, ba> given Cole, who
pluckily picked up the bundle containing the
dynamite and attempted to carry it out into
palace yard, £127. and Cox. who went to
Cole’s assistance,’£7o. fsir .lames Ingham,
magistrate presiding at the Bow street police
court, has presented each of the wounded offi
cers with £3O, and the members of parliament
have collected £S(O for the benefit of the
brave officers, while numerous private indi
viduals have donated various sums of money
(or the same purpose.
The police and other witnesses for the crown
in the case of James G. Cunningham, the al
leged dynamiter, charged with high treason
felony in causing the recent explosion in Ihe
tower of London, have received letteis threat
ening them with death if they persist in giv
ing damaging testimvn against the prisoner.
Detectives Roper and Wilson, two of the gov
ernment's principal witnesses against Cun
ningham and Burton, are annoyed by the
frequent reception of threats against their
lives Recently these threats Lav.* been writ
ten on }>aper stamped with a skull and cross
bones, and apparently issued by some murder
ous organization. Detective Rojier has re
ceived a letter advising him to order bis cof
fin, and assuring him that he would “meet
his fate" tiefore next Saturday.
The authorities have again received letters
containidg warnings tiiat St. Paul’s cathedral
and the Bank of England are to be attacked
with dynamite.
There is a growing movement in the docks
of Loudon and among builders and other
tradesmen to dispense with the services of
Irish labor* i'. Fifteen hundred Irish work
ingmen have recently been summarily dis
united from buildings in course of construc
tion in East London, their fellow workmen < l
other than Irish nationality being unwilling
to work beside men whom they regard as pos
sible dynamiters. Reports have L-en re
ceivod that a similar movement has started
at Manchester, Liverpool and other provin
raal renters.
The clubs Ind the newspapers have scores
of jokes at the expense of tb> {Miliceinen who
have been imported from Dublin to protect
public buildings in London. They are all mi
plain clothes, but they would never be taken
by the most casual stranger for plain citi
rens. Most of them are big, strapping, hand
some men. with a military air and swagger
that is unmistakable. They wear regulation
t4r»ts, and betray their calling in various
other ways. A blind dyra niter might be
f aded into running against hem, but no
Londoner is likely to make such a mistake. A
reporter of the Standard saw one of these
specials guarding the admiralty office. The
reporter, who had lately been in Dublin,
recognized the special constable and proceeded

The Vatican.
RnMit, Feb. 17 —The death of Cardinal
Chigi is expected at any moment, and may
lead to important changes. It is believed that
Cardinal Jacobiui, the present secretary of
state, will t>e ap[K)inted to the j>ist of secre
tary cf memorials at the Cancellaria in his
place. In this case Cardinal Czacki has a
good chance of succeeding Cardinal Jacobini
at the Vatican. He has long been a trusted
adviser of the pontiff and is distin
guished as a dipl »mat Though young,
be ba rendered the thurch great service. A
list of the coming cardinals is likely to in
clude Mgr. Copecelatro, archbishop of Capua,
an oratorian, eloquent, literal, and a savant,
who in 1875 wrote a brilliant pamphlet ex
plaining the real meaning of the syllabus.
The rumors of a rupture tetween France and
the Vatican are false. The pope referred
playfully to the subject in a conversation with
Comte Lefebvre de Behaine lately and said
the reports were unfounded. Mgr. Di
Ronde will remain in Paris as nuncio.
His sudden return was due to the illness of his
sister. The Propaganda recently wrote to M.
Jules Ferry thanking him for the promise of
protection for the Catholic missions. The
Vatican is row preparing a note asking the
French government to do its utmost to rees
tablish grants in favor of the Archbishop of
Paris and the canons suppressed by the cham
bers during the debate of the budget.
The Irish Card in al ate.
Dublin, Feb. 17.—There is great activity
among the nationalists of Dublin to secure
tn*' appointment of an archbishop more fa
voiable to their views than was the late Car
dinal McCabe. It is openly stated in the na
t ualist organs that the policy of the late
< »-ual would inevitably have brought
a u for Ireland a spectacle similar
t- that witnessed in Belgium, where
t.. j l.ticw of the people are violently

ItuMMa'* New Guns.
London, Feb. 17.—A dispatch from Berlin
stato that th»‘ Russian government has or
dered two thousand Krupp guns of the largest
pattern, to be furnished as soon as possible.
The guns are to be shipped to Central Asia,
ostensibly f<y the purpose of strengthening
Russian fortifications in that country. The
dis{»ateh ha> caused much uneasiness iu gov
ernment circles and the telief is freely ex
pressed that Russia’s present activity with re
gard to Asiatic {xissessions means further en
croachment on the territory held by England
in that country.

St. Pktehsruro, Feb. 17.—The bishop of
Vilna, Mgr. Neyniewicki, has lx>en conducted

CAMPAIGN VAGARIES.
A Prlrut Peremptorily Removed for Carry
ing a Cane to Blaine.
Indian apo;, is, Ind. Feb. 17.—A sensation
in Catholic circles has been caused by the per
emptory r emoval by Bishop Chatard of Father
Hugh (I Neill, of St. Patrick’s, growing out of
a campaign episode. During the month of
October the ladies of Father O'Neill’s pnrish
held h fair. Among other articles put up to
be rallied was a gold-headed (’tine to be voted
to the most popular candidate for president.
Father (i’Neill promised to lake the token to
the snoct'saful candidate, and it was found
that Blaine had te n the w inner. The bishop
c. as at the time absent- from the city, tet on
the eve of Father (XNeill’s departure Vicar
General warned him ttet such a
step would incur the displeasure of the bishop.
The ladies who gave the fair, however, in
sisted on his making the trip. Since his re
turn the relations between him and the bishop
have been strained. Bishop Chatard has now
ordered the peremptory removal of the priest.
The latter made a sta oment of the case to his
parixliiouers, who re**> ived the announcement
with unqualified expressions of disapproval of
the bishop’s conduct. One of the trustees an
iioudc-mI that the action of the bishop was in
tolerable, and that he then and there reeigned
his position. His adion will probably be fol
lowed next Sunday by the remaining trustxies.
Father O’Neill has been ordered to vacate the
personage at once and will d* part for Phila
delphia on Wednesday. Tho.aifair creates a
decided upheavel among the ( atholics.

SENATOR M’DONALD
Will Not Give Up Buaine** for a Chance in
the Cabinet.
St. Lovin Feb. 17 —Ex-Senator Joseph E.
McDonald h « arrived in the city, and regis
tered at the Southern hotel. When ques
tioned about the probabilities of his appoint
ment to the cabinet, he expressed himself as
Averse to discussing the point. Politics, he
laid, had been more of a pastime than a busi
ness with him, and he was confining his at
tention to his law business. It was this
which brought him to this city.
His friends had urged upon him the advisa
bility of going east to consult with Cleveland,
but he had refused to do so. He had no doubt
the president-elect would use his usual good
judgment in the selection of the members of

Allow the office to seek him; he should not go
if ter it and did not desire it.
Anarchist*’ Meeting.
St. Louifi, Mo., Feb. 17.—The anarchists
held a meeting in BtoUee’ hall, which was well

if sympathy with Reinsdorf, the man who,
with Kuechler, was beheaded a few days ago
st Halle, for the attempt, two years since, to
blow up with dynamite the German Emperor,
Jount Von Moltke, Prince Bismarck, and
other dignataries at the unveiling of the
Grant statue of Germania on the Niederwald.
Fred. W. Bergmann was the first speaker. He
iaid Reinsdorf did right in making the at
tempt. and that all kings and princess do
i&rved n- >thing better than death. The as
iassuiation of Chief of Police Rumps, at
Fianklort, a short time ago, was also com

AN AVALANCHE
Wipe* from the Face ot the Earth a Town
in Utah.
Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. 17.—The startling
intelligence was brought here that the town
of Alta was nearly wiped out by an avalanche.
It has been snowing a week, and •he snow is
now twelve feet deep on a level, with the
storm still raging. I*ast night., scon after 8
o’clock, a tremendous volume of snow swept
down over the Emma mine works, doing no
damage there except taking the smoke stack
along. Then it struck the town, crushing
alxiut three-fourths of it, but fortunately
many of the houses were deserted for the win
ter. The place is bui’; attlu* foot of eon
v. rging r’’ hes, and the slides had a fair
mark. Tnuii-er's boarding house was swept
away and his hotel crushed.
The Vallejo works, including buildings and
tramways were crushed. Two men in this
mine hapjiei'.ed to be in the drift and escaped
injmy. St. ickley’s, Tucker’s and Wallace’s
stores were injured slightly. Powers’ butcher
shop and Simpson’s drug store were the only
buildings that escajied eutii-ely. A large
number of the victims were in the boarding
house and hotel. Twenty eight people were
buried, but t welve were dug out alive. The
rest are undoubtedly dead. The meu from
the City Rocks and the Evergreen mines
formed a digging force to get out the bodies.
Three had been taken out at last accounts amid
much difficulty, the rescuers battling with a
heavy storm and low temperature.
I I’lmothy Madden was not dead when
brought out but died soon after. The bodies
of James Watson and Mi’s. John Ford were
then taken out. Th«i following is a r<>r» ect list
of those not yet recovered: Andrew F.
White, Barley Gels »n, Fred. Collinson, Mat
tie Hickey, Charlej Volk and Big Jim, both
Chinese, Jerry Iteagau, David P. Evans, a
child of Mrs. Ford's, and four children of Ed
ward Ballou.
A rescuing party starts from here, and it
is possible that some of the above may bo
anved. as on a former occasion some {Utopia
were found alive after having been buried
three days.
j The losses are as follows: Tucker’s hotel,
i >250; Smith's brewery, $2,000; Vallejo niine,
. $80,000; Case house, $500; (TReillv’s store,
! $2,000; Baldy Fritz’s saloon, SS(K): John

buildings $8(X).
“BOYS, I SURRENDER.”
The End of a NotorioiiH Desperadoe'* Ufa
in MiNNiHirl.
j Kansas City, Feb. 17. —For many yeare
Joe and Dick Brannon have teen terrors in
Western Texas. Their crimes have been
many and bkxxly. They belong to a large
and desperate gang of outlaws. Joe was kilh'd
in Hickory county, Mo., while resisting ar
rest by United States officers. Their last dep
redation was in December lad, when a {Mist
office and store in Barnett county were
robbed. Deputy Marshal Bayliss, of Austin,
got a clue to the whereabouts of the Brannon
brothers by means of letters directed to them.
List Sunday, Bayliss, accompanied by Dej>-
■ uty Miu*shai McGee, left this city for Hickory
county. They proceeded to BulYalo, Mo.,where
they were reinforced by Sheriff Burns and au
attorney named Robeils. They went on to
Pittsburg where the Brannons lived, being
there reinforced by four other men. They
rode to within one mile of the house, secreting
themselves behind the log stable.
About daylight the next morning t he young
brother of the desperadoes came out to the
stable. He was captured and put under the
care of Burns. After waiting some time Joe
Brannon came to the stable, and just as he
turned the corner McGee demanded his sur
render. Brannon drew a revolver, McGee
Ail'd Immediately, as also did Brannon, the
.t wo shots being almost simultaneous. Bran
non then ran around the corner of the stable
I lursiMxi by the posse, while Bayliss ran
around the other side and headed him off.
The firing then became general. Brannon
fell, exclaiming: “Boys, 1 surrender.” The
woupd'xl man soon expired, te.viiig received
thirteen wounds between Ibe belt and the
knees.

The weather is clear, but the air Is filled
with little particles of snow that are being

Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 17.—As far as can be

the United Slates and Great P.ritain, which

New York, Feb. 17.—A United Press re
jiorter called <»n District Attorney Martina
with a view learning what effect Capt.
Phelan’s departure would have on his case.
The district attorney staled that the case
would go on as usual next Saturday. It is
not necessary tor Phelan to be present. Ha
has sworn to his statement, and his crow-ex
amination has been completed. The district
attorney added that he believed if the police
justice sent pajiers in the cose to the grand
jury and an indictment was found, Phelan
would return from Kansas City to testify.
Phelan’s friends, however, predict that tha
case against Short will be dismissed.
In the examination of the case at the Tombs
court an unusual interest was manifested by
the large crowd present. Phelan’s arm hung
in a sling. Police Sergeant Cook took charge
of the captain’s revolver, which Phelan car
ried in his pocket. Short came in latter,

Short came in with a long knife in his hand
and said: ‘Now I have got you. Now I
have got you.’ Then he plunged his knife into
my breast He pulled it out and stuck it into
my neck. I tried to get away from him by
miming around the table, but he managed to
strike me three times. Two men who were in
the room ran out, and I tried to esciq>e. I
got out at length and made my way to the
street. 1 became acquainted with Short last
July. I have resided in Kansas City,
twenty-eight years, with the exception of the
time 1 was in the army, and tiiree years I
lived in Washington. I took a three months’
trip abroad in 18to8. I visited Ireland, En
gland and Wales, I lauded at Queenstown,
and from there I went to Cork. I did not
meet any {lereons I knew at either of these
places. 1 never was in the employ of the
British government. I never made the ac
quaintance of any government officers while
abroad. I had a conversation with a British
detective, but I did not know he was a British
letoctive until after he left my hotel”
“I came to New York last January for two
purposes—oue to visit my sister, Mrs. levy,
it Northampton, Mass., and to explain to cer
tain persons au article in the Kansas City
Journal. I had a talk with Kearney about
the article and my purpose in coming here.
He had told me the boys down at the office
were angry at me for talking to reporters in
the way the article represented I did. He
also sai'l something about the article in
0 Donovan Rossa’s )>U|jer. I told him no
man could publish a lie withot my bringing
him to account for it. When 1 went
down to Rossa’s office 1 had my little
boy’s revolver with ine. I placed it in my
overcoat }>ocket I don’t know whether it
was loaded or not. I had tieen arrested twice
In Kansas City-*once for teai’ing down, on
St. Patrick’s day, a picture in a store repre
senting Irishmen as aiies; the secone time for
carrying weajjons. I was charged once with
•tabbing a man xiamed Trouthorlou. I did
not Boast aßout this affair or say I would do
it a juu if anylxidy insulted me. The ai'tide
In the Kansas City Journal did not call ma an
inloriuer. It t* said I gave information tlkat
dynamite was eoDcealud iu the steamship
Queen. I did give that information, and
would do so again under similar circum
itai »•»*•. It’s true, to a certain extent, that
an Eng* - . detective got into my confidence.
I told ium my name, where 1 came from, ai>d
where I was going. The reason 1 used Kear
ney's name and told what he said and did was
because he openly lxmsted of what be had
done in England.”
The defense then asked an adjournment un
til Saturday next, and the request waa
granted.

Dynamiter John Roach learned that Phelan
had stai ted ior borne. He went up to Mrs.
Buckley’s, meeting Rocky Mounta n O’Brien
on the way. Rocky told Short that Phelan
had cleared out for good.
“That’s good news, John,” Short replied;
but maybe -isn't tme.”
“Oh, but it is true,” Rocky rejiliod. “1
have it from a man who knows all alxajt it.”
Short paced up and down the room for
awhile IL- said nervously: “It was kind of
him to get <>m of the way just as he did. I
think I ought to have a show to tell my story

Fred, and Emeet Runnahan and Abe Myers
had a terr L e fight in the genera! store and
postoffice a Burton View, a station on the
Wabash re ‘road, Saturday evening. The
trouble sta -cd on the train out from Lin

feud between the Runnahans and Myers.
The pistrnaster took a hand in the fight, and
succeeded in ejecting the Runnahans. leech
ing the door, he went out the back way to get
the railroad section hands to come and help
keep the infuriated men from again entering.
Myers was left in the house. Fred. Runuahan
dashed iu the front window and made for
Myers, who began shooting with a revolver,
but failed to hit Runuahan. The men
clinched, and in the s<*uffie knocked over the
lamps and stove, setting the building on fire,
which, in a short time, was burned to the
ground. The loss V» F. W. Obenniiler, pro
proprietor of the store and postmaster, is es
timated at $4,000. All of his account books
and money, and the letters and mail were
