A man has been arrested at Caldwell, whom the officers think may be the assassin of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg. His name has not been reported. Five men In all have been detained on trivial charges. In order that their where abouts may be looked up. "When daylight dawned on the scene of the tragedy It was found that the dynamite had been exploded by pulling a wire, pieces of wire and waxed flsh line were found in the trees on the lawn. Further, It is believed that two bombs were used, to make sure of car rying out the purpose of the assassins. They seem to have been together, "both being pulled at once. It was quite definitely determined during the night that the mine was fired .by a wire. The .explosive was placed against the post against which the gate closed, and on tho Inside of the fence. That post was to the vic tim's left as he entered, but the force of the explosion caught him on the right, showing he turned partially in closing the gate Assassin Knew Vicltlms Habits. Had the mine been set to go oft from movement of the gate, the ex plosion would have occurred as he went in, and It Is therefore certain the mine was fired by a wire, and that the assassin, knowing the ex-Gov ernor's habit of making the stop to close the gate, w.alted until he turned. . Shoshone County has offered a. re ward of $10,000 for the apprehension of the murderers, and has sent Its Sheriff to assist in the search. It was In that county, in the northern end of the state, that the Coeur d'Alene riots occurred In 1S99. Three Suspects in Arrest. "The officers at Caldwell have three men whom they arc sweating vigorously, be llpving one or more of them have some knowledge of the crime. One is named Hogan, and Is said to have been a. miner. He has been around here for three weeks and has told flimsy stories about his business. Another is a stranger who ap peared at one of the hotels half an hour after the explosion, took a bed and re fused to register. "When pressed to give his name be said they might call him Smith. The third Is a Russian, who has been at Caldwell at times for three years. He calls himself Smith. This man has been a. free drinker, but yesterday jio one could induce him to take a drink. Nitroglycerine Was Explosion. It seems settled that the explosive used "was not giant powder. Those having Knowledge of such substance and who have examined the scene state the ex plosive was undoubtedly nitroglycerine and was in a fnetallic case, tho metal be ing a combination of tin and zinc. A por tion of tho mechanism has been found. Including the trigger used In firing the charge. The nipple used was such, as is found on an old-fashioned muzzle-loader shotgun. Pieces of metal were found sticking In all. the trees. Governor Gooding, after having spent the day at the scene, states there is only one conclusion that ex-Governor Steu nenberg was killed for the stand-he look at the time of the Coeur d'Alcne riots. Jt transpires that the dead leader received 8 letter of warning while In "Washington about one and one-half years ago. stated his time was short. Some such letters were also received several years ago. INXER CIRCLE IS SUSPECTED Steunenberg Had Received 3Iay Threats of Death. BOISE, 'Idaho, Dec 51. (Specials- There are many reasons leading people to the firm belief that the assassination of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg was planned byTthe d Coeur d'Alene consplr ators and carried out by sosie one of them or that persons were designated by them under the stern rule of what wa called the "Inner Circle." Men selected for Jmck -.work -were efetiged to -perform it under paia. of death tkemaehre. la tb Ant plmoajt Ik now learned the Governor wa threatened a- number -of times. This was not generally known until he had been killed. It seems sev eral letters, were received four or five years ago. Another reaenca mm wnen in "Washington about a year and a half ago. This warned him that his "time was short" The Governor seemed to pay no attention to these warnings. He men tioned them only to one or more of his brothers and to his attorney. Further, during tho hearing in "Wash-. lngton after tho lawless elements of the Coeur d'Alenes had been suppressed, the Governor was threatened orally. These hearings were In connections with action of the Government in sending troops Into this state. A resolution for the purpose having been put through, the Governor was there and many of the leaders of the dynamiters. Threats Hissed in Ear. On two or thrco occasions supposed members of tho "Inner Circle" pressed up close to the Governor in the committee-room and hissed in his car words of this sort: "You , "we will got you et." Those who havo carefully examined tho scene of the explosion havo concluded that the horror was tho work of those skilled In the uso of high explosives. They state it was not ordinary giant powder used in mining, there being no discoloration anywhere. The post against which the bomb lay has not a darkened spot. Furthermore, tho odor of nitro glycerin "was on the clothes of the vic tim. Giant powder would have been Inclosed in a box, but It Is shown that something In the nature of a metal cylinder was used, tho metal being a mixture of zinc and tin. Pieces were found sticking in all tho trees. The forco of the explosion further indicates that it -was some very high explosive that was used. All the glass on that side of tho house was cut out closo to tho sash as though taken out with diamonds. Glass In other houses three blocks away was broken. Explosive Used by Experts. Ex-Llcutenant-Governor J. H. Hutch inson, -who Is an authority on this sub ject, declares it was nltro-glycerln and that It was handled by men thoroughly familiar with explosives. Mr. Gooding states everything shows the work was done by skilled men and that tho old dynamiters arranged it. Tho mechan ism for firing the charge seems to have been cleverly devised. It was fired with a fish line pulled from a distance. Pieces of this line have been found, but it is not known where the assassin was stationed. AVhat was left of the string he evidently carried off. From what is known of the methods of the Inner Circle of the Coeur d'Alenes, which controls the unions ab solutely. It would be Just like it to appoint men to dog -the steps of the Governor for years, warn him from time to tlmo and eventually kill him. Jo Is thought some previous efforts may have miscarried. One statement is that a bomb was found In Caldwell about a year ago, but the -circumstances were not made public at the time. Power of Inner Circle. Tho Inner Circle maintained Its power through the fact that it had earned a reputation of carrying out its wishes. It condemned men, selected others to carry the sentence into effect and held these accountable for the stern rule of death for failure. The rule of tho circle became so absolute that in tho days before 1899, no man dared ignore an order. Hundreds of men. were run out of the district during that time, a word from a representative of the circle being all that ivas nec essary to induce a man to pack up and go -within the time suggested. Often they left lnstantcr on tho orders to do so, leaving their belongings behind. Numerous instances in which such or. ders were not obeyed, death or injury re sulted and people came to understand that the desire of the cabal would always bo carried out. During the trials of the dynamiters, a number of reputable men who were members of the unions gave the officials valuable information, but dc cllncd absolutely to go on the stand. They stated frankly they would be killed If they did so. "When promised employment In some other state they said it would make no difference; tho order for their death would be issued and the men ap pointed to carry it out. The latter would follow them to tho most remote part of the earth and eventually carry the sen tence Into effect. Tlmo made no differ ence. It was simply a question of waiting for the opportune moment Killed by 3IystcrIous Accidents. It lsstated that some who did testify against the dynamiters have met mys terlous deaths. These have generally been attributed to accident, but there has been the suspicions in each case that the accident, like the dropping of a pick down a shaft, was prearranged by one of tho agents or the circle. Such is tho reasoning that leads people of all classes to the conclusion that the death of Governor Steunenberg was di rectly attributable to the inner circle of the old Coeur d'Alene unions. It Is this thought that has caused tho people to resolve that the mystery shall be sifted at any cost, and the guilty man brought to Justice. The state and the county of Canyon are -working together, and Gov crnor Gooding states everything will be done that can be done to unearth the as sassin. Detectives are on their way. So far $18,000 has been offered In re. wards. Of this $10,W is by Shoshone County, $5000 by the state. $2000 by the family and $1000 by Canyon County.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. Tho advent of the new year was the occasion tonight of the usual noisy demonstrations thrbughout the City of New York. The fact that New Year's eve fell on Sun day did not dampen the enthusiasm of the tens of thousands of people who paraded the streets, blowing great tin horns, ringing bolls of all descriptions and finally, -with the coming of mid night, resorting to all sorts of methods for the production of noise. The chimes of old Trinity brought to Lower Broadway and "Wall street the greatest throngs of New Year merry makers. For years tho chimes of this historic church have been rung as the signal of a new year's birth, and tradi tion attaches an unusual Interest to being within hearing of thos,e molodl ous tones when the last minutes of the old yoar have slipped away. Great cheers greeted the ringing of the chimes tonight and later, when the strains of an old-fashioned hymn were heard, many of those in the crowded streets of tho neighborhood uncovorcd their heads and Joined in singing the familiar words. In the theater and restaurant dis trict of "Upper Broadway, the crowds in the streets, at Sunday-night concerts and in the cafes were the largest In years. In the uptown streets many merrymakers in carnival spirit in dulged in confetti battles. Wire Tells of New Year's Birth. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L The latest ad vices received at the State and "Navy De partments from San Domingo- are main ly corroborative of the press dispatches from the island and show that while conditions arc unsettled, all is quiet It is believed in official circles here the sit uation is serious and. the belief is ex pressed that a clash of the contending interests Is probable. From the tone of the dispatches It is evident that both sides are anxious there shall be no interference with American interests and that their property and other rights shall not bo Jeopardized as a result of Internal troubles. They also show that telegrams from various nor tions of the island are being subjected to censorship. PRESIDENT RETURNS TO WHITE HOUSE WITH FAMILY.

WHAT THE CHARTER SAYS There Arc Fourteen Republican Members of Council and Twelve "Would Be Sufficient to Oust Mayor From Office. PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER UNDER WinCIt MAYOR MAY BE IMPEACHED. Section H6. In cue of Inability or willful failure of the Mayor properly to perform his duties, or In case of the commission by him of a crime or misdemeanor Involving moral turpi tude, be may be removed from office br the Council. The proceedings upon such removal shall be public and the Mayor shall be given an op portunity to be heard In his defense in person or by counsel. Notice there of together with a copr of the charges against him must be served upon him at least five days before the hearing, and an opportunity given him to be present In person and with his counsel and offer evi dence in his own behalf and to be heard by himself and counsel. In such proceeding for removal the Council shall sit as a court of Im peachment, and for that purpose shall hav? power to subpoena and compel attendance of witnesses, as well as the production of papers and things pertinent to said inquiry, un der such penalties as it may pre scribe not Inconsistent with this charter. The President of the Coun cil shall preside at all such hearings, and it shall require the affirmative vote of four-fifths of all the members of the Council to remove the Mayor. Rumors were current around town yes terday to the effect that the report of the Bruin investigating committee would form the basis- for articles of Impeach ment against Mayor Lane and others connected with the Civil Service Com mission. The Council has the power, un der section US of the charter, to remove tho Mayor by a four-fifths vote of Us members. It is known that the H Repub lican members of the body are very much opposed to what they consider a high handed method of manipulating the Civil Service department, as revealed by the recent Inquiry Into Bruin's appointment over the heads of tried and worthy mem bers of the police force, and there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction In consequence. While only 12 votes would be necessary to oust the Mayor, It is thought quite likely that all the Republi can members would stand together upon such a measure In view of what has been uncovered by the Investigation. Tollce Force Upset. It Is known, also, that practical.- the entire local police force Is badly upset on account of what they term the med dling attitude of Mayor Lane and Police Commissioner Greene, and are concen trating their Influence upon individual members of thp Council with the object of exciting retaliation. Thero are about 115 men In the Police Department, each -By Harry Xrr. WnUW yMK." K MIT possessed of considerable local political affiliations, and It is thought that with few exceptions all are more or less af fected by -the petty annoyances that havo originated with His Honor's peculiar Ideas of reform. While It Is not known definitely Just what recommendations will be made in tho report of the Bruin Investigating committee of the Council, it is believed, from the general nature of proceedings, that the findings of the body will involve one of the biggest municipal shake-up3 experienced In recent years. In all probability the report of the committee will be delayed until the meeting of the full Council January 17, as It Is not at all likely the findings can be made up before then on account of the magnitude of the evidences to be considered. It may even be necessary to call an extra session for tho purpose, and this Idea of tho situation seems o meet the approbation of members more than any other method of solution, as It is argued that the importance of the issues Involved demand distinct dc-. liberation. Provision of Charter. Under tho charter It 13 within the province of tho Council to try the Mayor upon charges originating with. the Investigation of Bruin, and in all likelihood he may bo compelled to face Impeachment proceedings as a result of his alleged Interference with the workings of the Municipal Cl.vir Serv ice Department. It Is almost a fore gone conclusion that the report of the investigating copimlttee will severely criticise Mayor Lane as well as other members of the Civil Service Commis sion for their hand in undertaking to overthrow the direct provisions of the city charter relative to promotions In the police department, the Bruin case being taken as a basis for such action Dan J. Maiarkcy, counsel for the city In the matter of the investigation of civil service methods, stated yesterday that it was news to him If the Mayor was to be tried under articles of im peachment, although he admitted that the disclosures of the investigation were a revelation to him. Terms It Flagrant Violation. "I had no Idea that the proceedings would develop such a flagrant violation of charter provisions." said he In dls- cusslngs the subject. 'There Is no doubt In my mind that the appointment of Bruin was framed up to meet thu demands of the Mayor, and It looks as If tho lash Is being applied to those police officers who testified against Bruin at the Investigation. The only instructions I received from the com mittee when I assumed charge of the case was to get at the bottom facts, and I must confess that I am greatly surprised at developments. "Even If no further action Is taken and the whole thing Is allowed to drop. enough has been shown up to convince the public that civil servico as applied in Portland Is a farce, and Is being used to subserve the cifds of the admliils tratlon. That In Itself Is recompense for all the trouble and expense Involved. It will, moreover, have a good moral effect on other officials and teach a wholesome respect for the Council in all directions. In future, a public officer is going to think twice before assuming any high handed attitude if he knows there is 11a blllty of public exposure." It is thought the specific charge against the Mayor, if any. would.bc based upon the Civil Service Commission's al leged violation of section 316 of the char ter, relating to promotions In the classi fied, service. The organic la.w of the city is very positive upon this point, setting forth that "the Commission shall, by Its rules, provide for promotions in the classified service on the basis of ascer tained merit and seniority in service and standing upon examination, and shall pro (Concluded on Page 26.)

TROOPS IN FULL CONTROL Barricades in Streets Torn Down Iy Populace as Quickly as They". "Were Erected, and Refugees Search for New Homes. MOSCOW, Dec. 31. White flags flying from a dozen factories In the tenement houses of Prcsna district, where the revolutionaries made their last stand, now bear mute witness to the end of the- 'December uprising In Moscow." The entire district is now occupied by troops. During the night the vast majority of the members of the "fighting legion"- either surrendered or. after throwing away their arms, endeavored to escape In the guise of peaceful citizens. Only the members who acted as a guard to the revolutionary committee stuck to their colors, and the surrender of this handful this morning furnished the last act of the sanguinary drama. The staging of this last act was ad mirable a snow-covered landscape, the small black residence, with a tiny red flag fluttering from its gable, the. end of Gor- batoff bridge, black with the guns of the artillery and a thin encircling line of the Seminovsky Regiment of the Guard, brok en only directly In the line of Are. Sud denly there was a flash of red tire from the mouth of one of the guns, and a solid shot plowed through the walls of the hofise. A few spluttering shots re plied from a window. The cannon spoke again and again, until a dozen shots had been fired. AVliitc Vlas Waves From Window. It looked like murder to the spectators on a hill, and so evidently thought tho officers In command of the battery, which ceased Are. A reserve company of the Seminovsky Regiment then advanced and fired volleys at the upper windows. At the third volley a white handkerchief, at tached to a bayonet, was pushed through a shattered pane. It waver frantically, and all was over. The little garrison of SO marched out and laid down their arms. a strange collection of rifles and repeat ing shotguns. All had revolvers. Strange to say, not one of the men had even been wounded, and when they found ' that they would not be immediately exe cuted they appeared to be rather relieved that the end of the struggle had come. They gathered around the soldiers bi vouacs, stretched their hands eagerly over the cheerful fires and begged ci garettes from the guards. The number of prisoners is bcl"g con stantly augmented, most of the new ar rivals being arrested at the bridges or at other points of egress In the Prcsna dis trict, which is crowded with refugees. Every Man for Himself. The Associated Press Icarng that after the fall of the Prokharoff cotton mill and other factories, a council was hastily held, at which it was decided that the revolu tion had failed, and an order was given to every man to save himself as best he could. A hundred agreed to hold together, so as to keep up a show of fight under cover of which the others could escape. After the final surrender the Inhabitants swarmed Into the streets of the district, and In a remarkably short time cleared away the barricades and other obstruc tions with which for a week the revolu UonarIes had blockaded tho district. This morning a correspondent of the Asso ciated Pres3 found one street, where on Friday It was necessary to climb over CO barricades, clear from end to end. All these except three, which were carried by troops yesterday, were demolished by the Inhabitants, who were as Industrious In tearing them down as they had been in erecting them. As the correspondent proceeded he wa3 several times searched by the soldiers, who were endeavoring to discover revolu tionaries. The soldiers were considerably perplexed at tho language In which the notes In the pockets of the correspondent wero written, but In each case ho was released. In squads of five the soldiers penetrated every house searching for weapons. Few Casualties From Artillery. Considering the Intensity of yeslerday's bombardment, when as many as five shots a minute were fired, beside the steady volley of the Infantry, the losses wero surprisingly small, not more than 40 of the revolutlonafles or the Inhabi tants being killed, and only about 300 be ing wounded in the district. The artillery yesterday was concen trated mainly against the factories fring ing the district, but the revolutionaries usually decamped at the first shot, takiag refuge in the cellars of neighboring houses. The shrapnel and rifle bullets did not pe&etrate beyond the outer walls, and la only a few eases did the walls show complete peaetrattoB by the solid shot The correspondent visited the Prokha roff, Xanentoff and other factories; where, accerdlng to met night's reports, over MM of the 'fighters had periehod ia the rates., He fowwl fragments of shta d everywhere, but no traee of statsgiitfrr.
