T . .GALLAGHMVIOLENT

His Friends Still Fear to Have Him
Committed to an Asylum.

EFFECT MIGHT BE HARMFUL

He Would Probably Imagine That Be
\Vas Again In Jail—An Effort to Be
Made to Bring the Demented'
Whitehead -to This Country.

. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—-The committee
having in charge the welfare of Dr. Thom-
as Gallagher, the so called dynamiter, who
was recently released, a maniac, from
Portland prison, England, were uncertain
today as to when and what steps should be
, taken for his commitment to an ayslum.
On this point a consultation will be

held, and the result will be announced‘

later. It is feared that the appearance of

whatever institution he may be sent to
- will call back memories of the prison he

has just been released from- and thus re-
tard his possible recovery.

Although Dr. Gallagher had a few lucid
moments at intervals today, and although
he spoke for a long time with his young
brother, Michael, and seemed to be per-
fectly rational, still his night in the Savoy
hotel last night was not as restful as could
be desired.

He worried the attendants most of the
time by starting from his bed and walking
excitedly up and down the room, clasping
his hands, praying excitedly and then in a
few moments later breaking outinto a vio-
lent rage. Dr. McBride, who is in con-
stant attendance, fears to give him opiates,
as he is not yet certain as to the condition
of the patient’s heart;

An evidence of the religious mania with
which Dr. Gallagher is afiiicted was‘ evi-
dent duri-ng the day when he overheard a
conversation. '

“Stop that! Stop that!” he cried ex?
citedly. “And if you won’t there is a
higher authority here that will make you. ”

As he spoke he took from his pocket a
small prayer book and waived it at his
friends. ~‘

The insane man was taken out for a
drive yesterday by Dr. McBride, General
James R. O’Beirne and Gallagher’s sister
and niece. He asked many questions
about the park, of which he seemed to
have lost all recollection, and he seemed to
understand all that was said to him. On
the way baCk, when nearing the Savoy ho-
tel. he tried hard to count the number of
stories in the building and succeeded fairly
well. ' ‘

There were manyr callers at the hotel,
among them being William Lyman, 0.
0’0. McLoughlin, M. Caew and Captain
McCrystal of the Sixty-ninth regiment.

John Curtin Kent, who served ten years
in .the same prison with Dr. Gallagher,
also called. but it was too early for him to
see the insane man,‘who at the timehad‘
just fallen into a sleep. Kent will call
again and see if he can get Gallagher to
identify him.

A meeting of the Amnesty association
was held in Independence hall, Twenty-
seventh street and Third avenue, at which
the committee of ways and means reported

that the amount of money now on hand =

had exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions. '

It was announced that an efl'ort would
be made to get Whitehead, the other ma-
niac prisoner, who was released a few
days before Gallagher, over here in a con-
ple of weeks. It was thought that White-
head had committed suicide, but he was
found wandering in Cork on Saturday.

John Daly, another of the released men,
and the only one of the last batch to be re-
leased recently who preserved his sanity,
will, it was stated, surely be here within
two weeks.

-NO trouble is expected with the authori-
ites here over the arrival of Whitehead, as
he is an American citizen.

Arrangements for the big mass meeting
in Madison Square Garden are still being
pushed forward. The conference commit-
tee of the Political Prisoners’ Fund associ-
ation and the Amnesty association, of
which General O’Beirne is chairman, will
hold a meeting at the Hotel Metropole.
Arrangements are also under way for a
mass meeting at the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. ‘ '

A Tragedy of the Sea.

MADRID, Sept. 8. —An explosion heard
off the coast near the town-of Mares, in
the province of gorunna, is the cause of
much excitement and speculation among
the inhabitants. It seems evident that a
disaster has occurred, as much wreckage
is strewnalong the coast. It is supposed
that two vessels collided and foundered.
Nothing has been discovered to show the
identity of the vessels, nor is it known
how great a loss of life accompanied the
catastrophe. .

'THE FINDING-0P HANSEN.

How the Would' Be ' Discoverer of the
‘ Pole \‘Vas Himself Discovered.

LONDON, Sept. 8.—Mr. Henry Fisher,
the bOtanist of the Hackson-Farnsworth
arctic expedition, now entering upon its
second winter on Franz-Josef Land,reached
Gravesend, England, on Saturday, with
four companions, by the expedition‘s sup-
ply steamer Windward, which landed Dr.
Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, at Var-
doe island.

In an interview today Mr. Fisher fur-
nished further details of the" accidental
meeting of the two parties on the ice, and
a letter from Mr. Jackson just received
throws additional light upon this interest-
ing chapter in northern exploration. Mr.
Fisher said: . _

“On June 17 we had just finished din-
ner in our quarters at Cape Flora when
suddenly Lieutenant Albert'vArmitage, R.
N. R, our astronomer, put his head'in the
window and shouted: -

” ‘How many of you are here? I see a
man on the ice fice.’ .,

“Mr. Jackson immediately rose, and,
saying, Whoever it is, I‘m off, started over
theice on a run.

”We then scrambled for our telescopes,
and Lieutenant Armitage and I, who had

- good glasses, suggested that the stranger

was Dr. Nansen.

“By this time Mr. Jackson and the
stranger looked like two specks in the dis-
tance. After watching the stranger still
more carefully we definitely concluded
He was
wearing skis and was jumping from one
ice hummock to another in a marvelous
manner.”

Mr. Jackson’s letter is addressed to Mr.
Farnsworth and continues the story. He
Wrote: - ' ‘

“Hearing that some one had been seen
on the ice, I started to meet him._ I saw a
man on the pack ice southeast of Cape
Flora and a second person farther ofi.

“I fired several shots to attract themat-
tsntion, and after an hour’s walk we met
the man on skis, concluded he was aNor-
wcgian and imagined he was a walrus
hunter who had come to grief somewhere.
Closer scrutiny, however, showed that it
was Dr. Nansen.”

M’KANB’S PRISON LIFE.

Charge of Favoritism Denied In the
VVarden's Statement. 3

ALBANY, Sept. 8.—There having ,been
printed charges that John Y. McKane was
being given extra accommodati at Sing
Sing prison during his incarceration and
that the-prison Officials ar aiding in at-
tempting to secure a par by saying
that he is in poor health. the public state-
ment Of the warden, O. V. Sage, of the
prison, made to representatives of the press,
will be of interest: -

‘-‘ When Mr. McKane came to the prison,
the prison physician, Dr. Irvine, made a
thorough examination of him, and as a
result told him that if he had remained
outside of the prison, leading his old life
Of luxury, he would have been a dead man
in six months. ' .

“McKane seemed anxious to regain his
health, and the doctor told him that the
strictest kind of prison life and fare would
assist him. McKane immediately started
to aid in the restoration: He was‘given
a cell in the second tier and refused‘any of
the luxuries that prisoners’ friends usually
send them, such as curtains to the door,
carpet on the floor, pictures to brighten
it up and other little things. Nearly every
day there came boxes of luxuries for Me-
Kane to eat from friends outside. These
he refused entirely and directed that they
be distributed among those prisoners who
seemed destitute. of friends, which was
done. Since we began the new addition
to the prison McKane has been one of the
most active men on the job. He was fore-

 

"man of the carpenters and was so efficient

that we were saved the necessity of put-
ting on outside experts, as is usual in
such cases. In other ways he is a model
prisoner and has been given at intervals
the usual permission accorded to exemplary

men. the right to keep his light in theicell '

burning after hours, so that he may read.
All of his letters go through the usual
course.”

feet on the Senator-ship. '1

 

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—The Herald has
thefollowing special from its Charleston
correspondent: . . .

'One of the biggest state scandals since
the days of reconstruction in South Caro-
lina was sprung today by Governor Evans.
If his statement is correct the dispensary
system seems to have been a gold mine to
those in charge of it. \ -

Governor Evans, it is said, has been in
possession of the information for a long
time. The governor‘s expcsure was entire-
ly unexpected and was due to the fact that
he 'had been goaded for not denying a
charge, made on the stump in his campaign
for the senate, that he had said Tillman
had lined his 1

This had ac .d so strongly upon the
former friends of Egans and Tillman that
defeat threatened vans in the race for
the senate. The second primary will oc-
cur Friday. Evans held off until 1 o’clock
this morning, when he came out with a
denial of the statement. He explains-that
he held back the denial upon bad advice
and then proceeds to make his revelations.

Commissioner Mixson and the commis-
sioner’s son, an ofl‘icial court stenographer,
are the objects of the governor’s fire. The
governor asserts that presents were sent
Mixson by whisky houses, and that Mix-
son’s son had also accepted valuable pres-
ents. He had called Mixson up, he says,
.when it was first discovered and warned
him that the dispensary would be killed if
any scandal was eyer connected with its
management. _

The Governor’s Statement.

Then he says: .

“Shortly afterward Mr. Scruggs, the
bookkeeper, reported to me he was satisfied
that Mixson was dealing with certain
whisky houses exclusively and was obtain-
ing rebates in consideration thereof. He
was satisfied he could secure the evidence
to convict these men if I would allow him
to leave the state. I replied that he could
go whenever and wherever be pleased on
such a mission. . .

“Mr. Scruggs proceeded to Cincinnati
and returned with evidence, as he assured
me, to convict Mixson of having received
rebates from the Live Oak Distilling com-
pany. He saw Mixson and Secretary
Tompkins before he-did me, and they im—
mediately came up to the mansion and
stated to me that Scruggs had been to
Cincinnati and had returned with evidence
that Mixscn's son had received thousands
of dollars from Peebles & Co. and the Live
Oak Distilling company, and asked 'me
what to do. ' '3 . '

“I told him if Scruggs had told them he
had evidence to substantiate it. the best
thing to ie don'e‘w'as to see Mixscn’s son
and gettim to tell the truth. ‘

“ Miss-re soon called upon‘ me and stated
that the boy had . confessed, but that he
(Mixsoufl was as innocent as a lamb. 2He
produced a letter from the boy, in which
he confessed andldeplored the fact that he
had brought disgrace upon his father and
family and had left home never to return.
I was moved with sypmathy for them and
told Mixson to'see'the‘bOy and not let him
run away. '

“I was called to New York on business

and told everything to Senator Tillman.
Tillman suggested that Mixson sho‘dld
resign. . . . .‘ -' -
Determined to Wait.

“I returned and told Mr. Tompkins
what Senator Tillman had said, and we
agreed upon that policy, but thought it
best to wait until further'developments.
Mixson came to me afterward and stated
that he was innocent, and his friends had
told him not to resign. . '

“The meeting of the legislature came,
and I determined, in the absence Of proof
direct against Mixson, to.drop the matter,
but to take away from him any chance of
temptation, and recommended that the en-
tire control be taken from his hands and
from the hands of the statehouse Officers
and placed it in the hands of a board con-
sisting of five members elected by the gen-
eral assembly.” -

Commissioner Mixson and his son made
statements tonight. The son acknowl-
edges that he collected for his brother
$740.50 in whisky rebates from the Live
Oak Distilling company, but says their fa-
ther knew nothing of it.

Colonel Mixson accuses the governor’s
brother Of a disposition to enter into the
buaness of which his son is accused, and
declares that several of the governor’s
statements are false.

Powers Jealous of England.
