BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 31. 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.

From the tone of the dispatches It is
evident that both sides are anxious there

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

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

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

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

show complete peaetrattoB by the solid
shot
