Alleged Dynamiters Kearney and

a Urged to Confess Something of “’hich
They Knew Nothing—Plot of
Engli§h Detectives.
w
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—John F. Kearney
and Thomas Haines, the two alleged Irish
dynamiters who were arrested in Rotter-
dam on Sept. 13, arrived today on the
steamship Werkendam.
Besides a few personal friends, there
was no one on the pier to receive them.
Kearney’s wife did not receive telegraphic
notice of the arrival of the vessel until_8
o’clock, and she was not present. Kear-
ney, however, waited for her at the ferry-
house, and at 10 o’clock he greeted his
wife and 9-year-old daughter. The meet-
ing was an afiecting one.
Ten minutes later Kearney, his wife
and child and Thomas Haines were on‘
their way to Kearney’s home, at ,979
Washington avenue, Hoboken. Haines ac-
cepted an invitation to stay with Kearney
a few days.
Both men tell remarkable stories, and
both vigorously deny that they had ever
been engaged in any dynamite plot. They
insist that their arrest was due to a plot
on the part of the English detectives.
Kearney also believes that his own broth-
er-in-law was one of the prime movers in
it; that Jolm Gort, the name the brother-
in-law goes by, is in the pay of the Eng-
lish government, and actually laid the
wires which brought Kearney to Rotter-
dam, knowing that the English govern-
ment wanted him for an alleged dynamite
offense, said to have been committed in
Glasgow many years ago.
Kearney as well as Haines seemed
amazed when informed of the stories pub-
lished concerning him, particularly that
which said that £2,000 of English money
had been found in his possession in Hot-
terdam when arrested.
“The fact of the matter is,” he said,
“that I left New York with less than
$150, and that at the time of my arrest I
had only $95.40. Some of that was in
Belgian money. I have brought back
with me exactly $1.25.
Did Not liIake Bombs.
“As to the story that I was engaged in
the manufacture of bombs or other de-
structive affairs, I want to say right here
that there is not a word of truth in the
story.
“I started for Europe on Aug. 1. my
brother-in-law purchasing the passage
tickets with money which Igave him, and
it was not until I was many days out that
I found my name had been changed from
Kearney to Wittges. My wife, as every-
body who knows me is wall aware, isa
German, and there is .a little property
coming to her over there.
“This brother-in-law suggested that it
would be a good thing for both to take a
trip over and have the estate settled. As
I did not intend starting my paper, The
Irish Nationalist, until September, I read-
ily consented to go.
“I had a pretty good time in both Ant-
werp and Rotterdam, living in the most
economical manner. though, until two
days before'my arrest. ‘ ' - ‘
“While in a saloon fine day I, for the
first time, saw Mr. Haines. I recognized
him as an American, as he did me. I
have a smattering of the German lan-
guage, while he has a very poor idea of it.
We had a drink, and then I learned from
him that he was in Europe on a vacation.
He asked me if I could tell him a good
hotel to stop at, and I invited him to mine.
“When we got to the hotel, we found
that there was not a vacant room, so I of-
fered him, as I would to any other Ameri-
can, a share of my bed.
“Well, Haines and myself looked about
for the first day, 'and then he became very
ill, and I had to nurse him. He was lying
ill in bed on the morning of Sept. 13. It
was about 6 o’clock, if I remember rightly,
when there was a. knock at' the door. I
opened it and found six policemen and an
Englishman, whose name I do not know,
standing outside. Each carried a small
arsenal, and then I was told that we were
both under arrest.
“The room was never searched in our
presence. Indeed we Were bundled out-
side and taken to the station house. In
our absence they claimed to have searched
the room and found a number of infernal
machines under the bed upon which I was
lying. .
Scented 3 Conspiracy.
“They showed me some of the machines,
and at very thought of what I had been
lying on I nearly dropped dead.
“Now, what sane man would deliber-
ately go to sleep on such machines? I think
I have a little sense left. I said that if the
machines had been found there at all they
must have been placed there by some-
body else; that I was not such a —— fool.
They wouldn’t believe me, or at least they
claimed not to believe me, and said I could
tell all about it if I would. Then I was
taken to a cell. '
“Every day for 12 solid hours two po-
licemen sat in the cell with me, and I was
not allowed to lie down. They kept telling
me all the time that I had better save my-
self, as one of my ‘pals’ had confessed.
They spoke to me of Tynan and Bell. I
met Tynan once or twice in New York,
but never knew him. I did not know Bell
at all. Yet they kept harping about con-
fessions and informers until I got sick of
listening and refused to talk at all except
to demand my release. ‘
“I was never brought intoapolice court,
but always before the police commission-
ers, who kept harping on the same theme.
They told me that my only hope was to
save myself by confessing. Then they put
me on hard tack. I have brought some of
it back with 1.2., and it was all that I
could get.”
Wine Quenched Flames.
: SANTA ROSA, (3a)., Oct. 17.—Korbett’s
big winery at Korbett’s Station was badly
damaged by fire. One of the large presses
of was destroyed and about 150,000 gallons
new wine were turned loose. Water being
scarce, pumps were applied to the wine
casks, the wine being thrown on the flames
with good effect. The cellars, in which
were 100,000 gallons of old wine, were
saved.
Big Gold Imports.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—The steamship
Columbia, from Southampton, brought
$1,652,500 in gold, and, in addition to the
gold engagements already noted, Ladan-
burg, Thalinan & Co. have $250,000 on the
Way. ,

the Cathedral at Canterbury.
LONDON, Oct. 17.—The funeral services
over the body of the Most Rev. Edward»
White Benson, archbishop of {Canterbury
and primate of all England, who was
stricken with apoplexy at the services in
the Hawarden church last Sunday morn-
ing, were held in the cathedral at Canter-
, bury today. The edifice was crowded.
Among those in attendance were the Duke
of York and Prince Charles of Denmark
as the representatives of the queen, and
the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con-
naught, the Duke of Cambridge and a
host of ecclesiastical, political and social
dignitaries. There were several distinct
services, the first one beginning at 8
o’clock in the morning. The coffin con-
taining the body of the archbishop was
covered with a whiteand gold embroidered
pull and wasplace'il in front of the altar,
surrounded by lighted tapers. The Very
Rev. F. William Farrar, D. D., dean of
Canterbury, opened the series of services
by celebrating the function of holy com-
munion.
The weather was extremely disagreea~
his, a heavy rainfall, accompanied by
high winds, prevailing. Everybody pres-
ent wore deep mourning, and the primate’s
throne was heavily draped in black.
The funeral procession was formed in
the cloisters of the cathedral at 12 o’clock.
the clergy attached to the diocese leading,
followed by members of the house of com-
mons, members of the house of lords,
bishops and members of the convocation.
Then came the Most Rev. William D.

J. Mason of Canterbury, the Right Rev.
Randall T. Davidson, bishop. of Winches-
ter, the Rev. Hugh Benson and the arch-
bishops of Dublin and York. ‘
A PBCULIAR ACCIDENT.
A Jersey City. Merchant Walks From a
Train While Asleep.
TRENTON, Oct. 17.—Lewis Dressler, a
Jersey City merchant, died in St. Francis'
hospital from injuries received late on
Wednesday night by falling from a train
which was running at a rate of 40 miles
an hour. He walked from the train while
asleep. He was on his way to Pittsburg.
When a few miles above Trenton, a brake—
man went through the car and called out,
“Trenton the next stop!” Mr. Dressler
rushed to the platform and jumped from
the train. He fell on the tracks, breaking
the bones of both legs and several ribs.
The tralnmen did not know that he left
the train until they reached’Trentcn. The
station agent at once sent men on a loco-
motive to find Mr. Dressler, but they were
unsuccessful. The man had in the in-
terval crawled up the embankment to the
street level and along the street for several
squares until a brewery was reached,
where he applied for assistance. He stated
that he had jumped off the train while
dreaming. He then collapsed and was
taken to St. Francis’ hospital, where he
continued to sink until he died. _
RICH LANDS IN THE NORTH.
Discoveries of an Officer of the Dominion
' Geological Survey.
MONTREAL, Oct. 17.—Mr. Tyrell of the
geological survey department has arrived
at Winnipeg, bound for Ottawa, and re-
ports having discovered rich tracts of ag-
ricultural and stock raising country hit-h-
erto unknown. He left Selkirk on Jan.
24. From Norway House he descended
the Nelson river in a canoe to the Pine
river, ascending it to Wolf river. Again
the Nelson was descended for 75 miles un-
til the Brentwood river was reached,
thence down the Grassy river to the Stur-
geon, which brought them to the Sas-
katchewan at Cumberland House. Ten
days ago they reached Prince Albert. Mr.
Tyrell says that there are large areas of
rich, cultivable lands west of the Nelson
river, and, though wheat is not grown
simply because it would be of. no value,
all varieties of vegetables are produced in
the gardens of the Hudson Bay company
posts and prove hardy. Except for the
climate, he declares that that country is
as richly blessed as the famed Red river
valley.
Bank Run In Willimantic.
WILLIAMANTIC, Conn, Oct. 17.—Owing
to a run on the Williamantic Savings in-
stitute, during which $70,000 has lacen
withdrawn, the directors of the bank to—
day issued a statement in which they an-
nounced their intention of taking refuge
behind the “four .months’ notice” law.
The cause of the run is not known.
Panic While at a. Fire.
TROY, N. Y., Oct. 17.—During a fire in
Tim & Co. ’s factory here this afternoon a
panic occurred, and the employees made a
wild dash for fire escapes. Several fell
from the escapes, but none was fatally
hurt. Kate Keith, Mamie Farrell and
Margaret Noonan fainted and fell, but
were caught by firemen.
Mysterious Schooner Sails.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17. —— The schooner
Joseph F. Loubat sailed today. The
Loubat is said to be on a gold hunting ex-
pedition to South‘ America, and it has also
been rumored that Cuba is really her des-
tination, in the interests of the insurgents,
instead of Buenos Ayres, the port for
which she was cleared.
Dcfaulting Treasurer Arraigned.
TROY, N. Y., Oct. 17.—George H. Mor-
rison, the defaulting treasurer of Rensse-v

GOLD nil l PREMIUM
Foreign Bankers Have 'llade Profit
Out of Apprehensions.
A CONSERVATIVE TIMIDII'Y.
Dan's Review considers That the Most
Powerful Force In Business at ‘Pres- '
ent—sThe Movement of Grain.
Failures of the “'eek.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—R. G. Dun c
Co. ’s weekly review of trade says:
Gold commands a small premium. The
most powerful force in business at present
is a conservative timidity, and the foreign
bankers, who have been offering for a
small percentage to insure people against
a premium on gold until December have
made an easy and a sure profit out of
prevalent apprehensions. From Kansas,
Nebraska and other states where the silver
agitation is said to be strong some orders
by many bankers and business men to get
them gold at a small premium, and there
has also been some demand for hoarding
from individuals in other states who are
afraid even of their own best judgment.
The tone of money markets and the gen--
eral- condition of business are to a great
extent determined by men who take coun-
sel only of their fears. ,
The one commercial change which,
more than any other, insures better busi-
ness in the near future is the excess of
merchandise exports over imports. In Sep-
tember exports were $85, 098, 594 and im-
ports only $50,825,105, and the excess of
exports was $34,272,889, in payment for
which net imports of gold were.$34,249,-
183. Last year the excess of merchandise
imports was $6,765,257 in September, and
net exmrts of gold $16,506,558. In the four
principal classes exports increased $20,-
641,134, more than half in cotton. In two
weeks of October the exports from New
York have increased 30.6 per cent, against
31.2 in September, while imports have
decreased 24 per cent, against 35.2 in Sep-
tember. Continued shipments of gold from
Europe, not including $4,000,000 from
Australia, now amount to $59,250,000
since .the movement began. of which $52,
250,000 has. already arrived, and have not
been arrested by measures taken by the
great European banks.
The llovement of Grain.
The heavy movement of grain is the
cornerstone. After an increase of $5,923.—
675 in exports of breadstuffs in September
there have been shipped the past week
from Atlantic ports alone 2,134,774 bush-
els, flour included, and 4.2 3.845 in two
weeks of October against 3,510,271 bushels
last year. A more important fact is that
all available grain frei'-hts have been en-
gaged for months ahead here and on the
Pacific coast. The minister of agriculture
in India stated in council on Thursday
that distress was expected in a large part
of India as the result of drought, but im-
portations of wheat from California would
help to prevent actual famine.
official of Russia new in this country con-
firms accounts of shortness in the Russian
yield. Thus estimates that Europe will
fall 10(l.000,000 bushels short of last year
in say 7 of wheat are strongly supported,
and, while department estimates of yield
in this ountry are not credited, there is
every reason to expect a remarkable for-
Western receipts fall a lit—
tle below last year’s, and for two weeks
have been 14,235,016 bushels against 15.-
084,483 last year. Wheat has advanced
4% cents for the week, and corn 2 cents. .
Confidence as to the future makes trou-
ble in some industries, because speculation
in materials raises prices so that demand
for finished products is checked. Similar
difl‘icultics threaten in the iron manufac-
ture, for pig is higher—bessemer at 811.50,
and gray forge at $9.75 at Pittsburg,
while plates, angles and beams are weaker,
and variouscomhinations hold prices only
by leaving outside competitors to take the
market as far as they can. Steel bars are
largely sold at 1 cent, while 1.2 is de-
manded for iron. All the nails that out-
siders can produce are sold at less than
the association asks. Billets are still sold
for less than the pool price, and their ship-
ments in September aggregated only 36,-
000 tons. mainly of sheet and tin plate
bars, and the demand for rails is growing
small.
\Vool Storage.
Woe] is stronger with continued specu-
lative buying, and sales at eastern mar-
kets have been 14,536,300 pounds for two
weeks against 21,209,700 last year and
13,702,800 in 1892, but consigned wool
has been mostly withdrawn until after
the election. No gain is at present possible
in goods, and though the number of mills
starting for the week is 15, against 7
stopping, much of the work done is in an-
ticipation of a better demand than now
exists. The cotton manufacture has also
started more spindles, but the demand for
goods scarcely increases, and print cloths
sell at 2. 56 cents. The manufacture of mi-
nor metals also drags, though domestic
demand for copper is moderate at 10.75
cents for lake. Lead is a shade weaker at
2.75, and tin plate makers are undersell-
ing foreign 15 to 20 cents per box.
Little is done in commercial loans, al-
though collections are reported better and
some dry goods loans have been settled be-
fore maturity. Tle demand for loans is
narrow, and bankers are inclined to dis-
courage expansion for the time. Failures
for eight days of October show liabilities
of $4,944,004, against $3,925,599 in ten
days last year and $3,821,937 in 11 days of
1894. Manufacturing were $2,672,742,
against $1,536,205 last year and $1,793,636 .
in 1894, and trading were $2,151,262.
against $2.185,534 last year and $1, 996, 636
in 1894. Failures for the week have been
328 in the United States, against 263 last
year and 40 in Canada, against 46 last
year.
