THE CHICAGO BOMB.

A CLUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURE.

THOSE OF PARIS FROM CHICAGO
Police Aware of their Manufacture
Tet Unable to Trace Up their
Disposal.
Chicago. April 2. Since the arrest of
the anarchists Ling, Spies, and Parsons;
in 1887, their trial and sentence to death
or the penitentiary, Chicago, has not
been accused of being headquarters for
the bomb-throwing school, etc., but
for some time past there has been con-
. eiderable comment in police circles
about a "dynamite school" in the city
It will he recollected that the Alarm, the
paper published by Spies & Parsons.gave
formula and directions for making
bombs. This school, it is said, takes the
pupil in and actually instructs in all the
details of manner, feature and use of
the deadly weapons. There is said to be
in Boston a similar school. The stories
concerning the Chicago bomb factory
seems to find corroborating evidences;
within a few days past, by dispatches
from Paris to the effect that the bombs
which have been found there were made
on the Chicago model. The police in
spector of this city, when questioned
concerning the dispatch, said he was
aware of the fact that bombs were made
in Chicago, vastly more destructive than
anything that the French dynamiters
have ever constructed said he : "On one
' occasion a carload of bombs were taken
away from a certain place where they
were manufactured, and no one has yet
been able to locate them. I believe they
are in the city ready to be used in case of
trouble. There is another lot of about
900 bombs secreted, but where the police
have not yet been able to tell. I believe
these bombs are divided up among the
most faithful and trustworthy of the an
archists. Besides this stock which I
believe is stored in the city, there are
additional resources for the people who
use them. At present there are probably
200 men in the citv who know how to
snake bombs, and can make them on
their own kitchen stoves at night. The
whole mechanism of the thing is so sim
ple that the poorest kind of a mechanic
could easily make one in an hour."
There is scarcely a leader in the labor
movement in Chicago who does not be
lieve in the necessity of force to attain
Buccess in that movement. The major
ity of them say it is almost impossible
to win a strike without resort to force.
As a rule, the American mechanic and
the foreigners who have become Ameri
canized believed in using force against
men who attempt to take the places of
the striking workmen. Fortunately
there is no prospect of any trouble in
Chicago at present. The prospect was
never better for a long continued agree
ment between the workinmen of the city
and their employers.
Road to Sluslaw.
Eugene, Or., April 1. The Siuslaw
and Eastern railway company has sub
mitted a proposition to the people of this
county for the construction of a line of
railroad from this city to Florence. The
proposition asks that a free right-of-way
through the city and a subsidy of
$100,000 be given by the people, for
which the company promises to build
the road and have it in operation in a
reasonable length of time. The matter
is being considered by the leading citi
zens, who seem to be making a decided
effort to secure the required amount.
A 1'erfect Tornado.
Kansas Citt, April 2. It is esti
mated that $1,000,000 would not cover
. the damages of the tornado of the past
forty-eight hours, in this state, Kansas
and Iowa. Tonawanda was wiped off
the face of the earth, and Augusta was
buffeted out of all semblance to its for
mer self. The town was asleep when
the storm swept down, and not a-house
or building was left standing. ' The
storm raised everything in its path and
left dead bodies lying in its wake. Four
bodies have been recovered from the
ruins. -
Our American Monaco.
Minneapolis, April 4. An -eastern
gambling syndicate has been, organized
to open an establisment in this city
which, in a small way, will vie with the
celebrated place in Monaco. The syndi
cate represents millions of dollars and
proposes to establish a gambling house on
nammoth proportions and conduct it on
the club system. A $1,500,000 bank
roll will be here for those who think
they can win it. The place will be ex
clusive, regularly chartered and incor
porated, and only open to members' and
friends. The syndicate expect that the
establisment will attract wealthy people
Who love the click of the ivories.
Incendiary Fires. '-
Beblin, April 1. An alarming series
of fires, supposed to be of incendiary or
igin, have occurred in the Cassel district
of late. Four sawmills ahd eight honses
have been destroyed at Kragenhof,
thirteen houses at Brandersen, ten at
Grossenback and fourteen at Heidfeld.
Several persons are missing, and. are
supposed to have perished in the flames
and many cattle have been cremated.
Unhappy Conditions.
St. Paul, Minn., March 31. Reports
from North Dakota and eastern Mon
tana indicate the greatest spring floods
in ten years. Residents all along the
river are preparing to move to higher
ground. To the south of Grafton is a
lake reaching for miles into the country.
In Montana there are washouts in every
direction, the Great Northern, being the
chief sufferer. The main break occurred
on the Montana division, between Will
inton and Springbrook, caused by an
overflow of the Missouri tributaries
which at this time of year are fed by
meltnig snow from the Rocky moun
tains. It will take thirty-six hours to
repair the road.

New Orleans, April 3. One of the
most destructive cotton fires on record
broke out at 10 :30 this morning among
some cotton on the sidewalk in front of
a fire-proof cotton press on Front street,
where 10,000 bales of cotton were stored
The department promptly responded,
but the wind was so high and the cotton
so dry that it burned like tissue paper.
The nremen worked like demons to ar
rest the progress of the flames, but their
efforts were unavailing. Through the
yards swept the fire carrying devastation
with it. After three repeated alarms a
general alarm was sent in, and all the en'
gines in the city, with two or three excep
tions, were called out. In half an hour
after the flames started the fire-proof
press was totally consumed. In the
press were stored oU.tXX) bales of which
the greater portion was destroyed. It
required but a very short time to destroy
the press. Several firemen had narrow
escapes from falling walls. - The sight
was an awe-inspiring one. For a space
of at least two blocks a sheet of flames
shot upward. The smoke and sparks
from the fire,, blown down into the street
by the wind, choked and singed the
spectators. Suddenly a small flame was
seen to leap skyward from a corner of
the Independence press. In a second
almost the entire block, was ablaze, and
the flames formed a solid block of fire.
The people living in -the neighborhood
took fright and a wild scene ensued.
Houses were dismantled of their con
tents and carried away. House after
house went down and the efforts of the
firemen seemed in vain to face the over
whelming odds.' The flames spread in
every direction owing to the varying
winds, and soon four blocks were ablaze,
and the wooden buildings were devoured
as if they were so much chaff. Hun
dreds of people were left homeless by
the fire. The scene presented, is truly
one of desolation. Nothing remains of
the many handsome buildings embraced
in the four blocks but the blackened
ruins. The losses are estimated at $2,-500,000.
. The Astoria Railroad.
Astoria, April 4. Notwithstanding
some of the mossback element continue
tostand around this city with their
hands in their pockets, squirting tobacco
juice on the sidewalks, and warning the
railroad contractors to look out for their
pay such action, at this late date, is
entirely useless. . The company is push
ing the work around Smith point, and
two corps of engineers are in the field,
started from a common point in the
Nehalem valley, between Portland and
Astoria, called the summit, or divide.
One party is working toward Hillsboro,
and the other toward Astoria. Accord
ing to . the terms of the contract,
the company is to expend a certain
amout of money on the road . every
month, independent of the engineering
expenses, or forfeit a stipulated sum.
There are sixteen men in each of the
two corps of engineers surveying the
ronte. . -
Mount Hood would make a magnifi
cent public park or reservation and the
project of having a large track of govern
ment land around the base of the hoary
old peak set apart for this purpose ought
to succeed. ,
Sage's Advice is to "Sell no More Puts
and Calls at Present.

' ' Two Chief Stocks.
New York, April 4. Wall street has
been considerably agitated for ten days
past over the ups and downs of congress
on the silver bill, wool act, etc., and op
erators are more than usually close-
mouthed. Last evening, however,
conversation at the League club become
quite animated, with Uncle Rufus Hatch
as the central figure of a group of well
known operators. Uncle Rufus was
very earnest. - Among other things
caught by a reporter near by, were these
pointed sentences. If the silver bill
should pass and Harrison veto it, he will
be defeated. If he did not veto it he
would be beaten so he is between
heavy fires. Jim Keene says he will
veto it and be nominated, but he does
not say he will be elected. I received
letter from Amos J. Cuminings, and he
say 8 the silver bill is all right. Of course
he is in favor of it. So far as the market
is concerned, there is no market except
matched orders. I am told that the coal
combination is very strong. As far
the coal stocks are concerned, they say
they own a great deal more than there
is of the Reading, and have for the past
four months. Sage told a friend of his
a few days since he would not sell any
puts or calls, as the market was in a
very dangerous position. My impress'
ions are that Uncle Russell was caught
short of Delaware and Lackawanna
.Keene and .Brown of Morton & (Jo., are
bulls on Northwestern, but as far as I
can see there are no orders to buy or sell,
The market is in a position that you can
put up as you please, then have to let go
without any buyers. The banks have
$16,000,000 reserved. They are very
large in their loans to Wall street brok
ers. Business is very dull from one end
of the country to the other. The pro
duct of the soil is very low. Merchants
are neither expanding nor extending.
The large loans are mostly owned by
Wall street "pools and fools."- Individ
ually I believe that Erie and Northwest
ern are the two chief stocks you can
make anything on. I made $2,700 on
sugar, and am so fearful that I will lose
it, I have not traded in it since. I re
peat what I have so often said, that
when the summer tourists commence
going to Europe they will want the gold
again. Gen. Dodge tells me that he
thinks Gould has done all the business
he will ever do. In other words he is
very, very ill. Don't you think the
Richmond Terminal reorganizes made a
mistake in not making it - $400,000,000
instead of $350,000,000. And don't you
think the sugar trust should have in
creased their capital stock $40,000,000
instead of $25,000,000, thus making it an
even $100,000,000?
Another Boy Killed Sparring:.
Huntixoton, Ind., April 4. The
youth Rice, aged 18, who broke the neck
of another boy Charles Lesh, in a spar
ring contest on Sunday the 13th, has
been held for trial on a charge of mur-:
der. ' The two boys were about evenlv
matched, young and robust, and were
pushed into the contest by "friends" for j
a purse. Lesh was instantly killed.
His neck was broken. - About a dozen
parties to the contest, will have exami
nations as abettors of the murder, and
it . is safe to say that no more such
'sport" will be witnessed in this part of
the countrv.
. Natural Gas Falling;. '
Ixdiaxapoli8, April 4. Reports made
and circulated last week to the effect
that the natural gas supply at Nobles
ville was giving out, seem to be con
firmed. Mr. Todd, superintendent of
the company '8 lines, is authority for the
statement that each well loses on an
average one pound a day in pressure,
and unless .new wells are drilled soon
the city cannot be supplied. The com
pany does not feel able to meet the ad
ditional expense, and -besides a large
portion of the land adjoining the city is
leased to the Indianapolis and Standard
Oil companies.
. , Nary Represented.
Washington, April 4. Supt. R. W.
Mitchell, of the Portland, Or., Exposi
tion, through the efforts of Senator
Mitchell has secured the "model of the
battle ship Oregon, to be placed on ex
hibition next fall at the annual fair.
This model of the Oregon, which will be
a most elegant miniature ship, will be
completed about September 1st. It was
with considerable difficulty that the sec
retary of the navy consented to let it go,
as it sets a precedent for other similar
demands, but Oregon is a state to be
favored this year.

Smith of Arlington has Donned Ills War
Faint.
Agent Alloway, of the D. P. and A. N.
company informs the ChroniclS that J.
W. Smith of Arlington, whom the Union
Pacigc lately defrauded out of $24.90
the full rates from Portland to Arlington,
on a car of Bait shipped by the people's
boats to The Dalles and thence by rail to
Arlington is going after the Union Pa
cific with a sharp stick. Mr. Smith has
taken steps to have the matter, brought
before the state board of railroad commis
sioners and he says if there is any justice
left in the land he is going to have it.
More power to J. W.'s elbow ! This is a
fight in the interest of the people, and
if right reigns it can have only one end
ing. The point in controversy is this :
Mr. Smith can save $24.90 on a car of
salt by shipping it by the people's boats
to The Dalles, thence by rail to Arlington,
instead of by rail the whole way from
Portland. . A merchant at Heppner can
likewise save $30 on a car of barbed wire,
but 'the Union Pacific compells . the
merchant to pay the $24.90 or $30 as the
case may be, in the form of "advance
charges." The whole thing is a bare
faced swindle as ever was attempted- on
a long suffering people and the courts
will so decide if the masses have any
rights that a railroad corporation is
bound to respect.
