He admitted preparing tive bombs, Sophie Pief- fosks avowed her participation In the prepara- tion of 1he Moscow wine, and in the murder of the Czar. JELTADOFF, who isthe most intelligent of the prisoners, flu- eutly related, with diabolical sutisfacuon, the pistory of the two Alexandrofsky mines. He said he wasat the head of one group of the parts, and was churged by the entire committee with the work of orzanizing un attack by bombs, and was connccted with the Sndowa street mine as & simple worker. After these declarutions the Procurator stuted it would perhaps be possivle toshorten the trial. Jeliaboff, in hisstatement, attempted 10 extenuate the cases of Rossakofl and Michailoff, by asserting that the former was only 8 propugandist among the workmen. and ENEW NOTHING OF THE ATRRANGEMENT FOR THE MURDER of the Czar until the day of jts accomplishment, and the lacter was cntirely unconnected with the crime. Jeliaboff showed great skill In cross- examining the witness, and succeeded in utterly confusing one of them. To-day”s sitting will he occupled in hearing speeches for the prosecution. In the centre of the court-room are various articles of tawgible evidence ngainst the prison- ers, such as boxes of dynamite, papers, chemi- cals, apparatus. ete., placed on a table and guarded by gendarmes with DRAWN SWOLDS.

NEw Yonrx, April ®.—Patrick Coleman, the Fenian who is supposed to'have been engaged in the attewpt to blow up the Mansion House in London on the night of Wednesday, Muarch 10, 1s sate in the hands of his friends in this it He arrived in the Auchor Line steamer Aus- tralfa at 6 o'clock this evening, and landed at the pier at the fout of West Teunth strect without wolestation and without recognition by any- body. except those who were intrusted with the charge of bringiog him safely from the steamer. Kumors had been atioat for several days that, upon the arrival of the Australia, detectives would ar- rest Coleman in the hope of getting him extra- dited and securing the £100 reward otfered by the British Government for his capture. In auticipation of some such 8n attempt, the Fenian Brotherhood made arrangements to prevent any surprise, either on the stenmer or on the dock and hrd there been finy wovement toward arresting the man, there is no doubt that A BLOODY RESISTANCE would bave been encountered. As it was he sauntered quietly down the guug-plank of the steater as soon #8 she wus docked with a Iead- ing memberof the Fenian Brothernood oneither side of him, passed down West Teuth street a sbort distance, and eptered o barroom, when all trace of him was lost. ¥ SOME IDEA OF TOE PRECAUTIONS taken by the Feniuns to prevent the arrest of this man may be griued by the experiences of reporter who sousht to Inferview Coleman. The reporter was awaiting In the ship-news otlice at the Battery the sailing of the revenue-cutter which wus to take them to the incoming Aus- tralty, when a tall, thin, gentlemauly-looking youny man pushed his bead fn at the window and usked permission of tho customs otlicers to accompany them on the trin. le said he bad friends on the Australia, and permission was given him to poard the cutter. On the trip down the bay, which began as soon as tho Australia left yuarantine, THE TALL, SLIM MAN was very reticent, but he wus ulways tobe found in close proximity to the two reporters. I they satin the cubin, he was there, and If they stood on the deck, he was still beside them. He acted ip a perfectly natural manner, however, und no- body on buard the revenue cutter supposed that he was AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE. At length tne steamer was reached, and the tall, slim man climbed to ber deck with the other - passengers of the revenue cutter. Here the reporter lost Lim for some time. oing beiow to inquire of the purser In regard to Patrick Coleman. The mys- terious man went forward among the stecrage to passengers. He afterwards turned out be a promincat Feniun, detailed to sce that no detective went of the vessel. A large number of Fenians wera on the Aus- tralia, and when the reporter uttempted to get where Coleman was in the steerage, be wus stopped ana told it would not be advisable to let him be secen. One of the Feuiuns, Paul Leonard, remarked: * We want 10 keep him as auiet as possible for the present, and be won't beullowed to say anything until e is placed safe in the bunds of fricnds. 1 expect we shall tind the dock filled with English detectives, but WE ARE PREPARED TO MEET THEM, ang if they discover Coleman and make an at- tempt to arrest him, there will be some hot work done. We thoughtthat you were one of Pinkerton's detectives at first. We mean to take our man from this steamer AT ALL HAZARDS. Every avenue by which we could be surprised is guurded. I bave been at quarantine now for six days, watching for this steamer. We have men on the docks, and everything is ready to malke a stout resistance in case of need. Our friend is here among nis friends now, and we menu to protect him.” “ What i3 the organization which is taking all these precautions?” asked the reporter. “The regular organization which is engaged in the pbysical force movewent. The Fenlan Brotberhood and United Irishmen of the chty are determined to protect their agents when they get Iutd trouble by carrying out their pluns. Culeman is u brave, determined man, ‘who will oot be captured easily, and be is sur- rounded here by us brave and determined men, who do not intend to have him captured. I don't believe wo are going to bave any trouble, but if we do we are well prepared for it. Cole- man has never been in this country before. and we shall have to guard him pretty closely fora while, for there are almost uswany Euglish de- tectives here as there are in London. LE WAS BORN IN IRELAND, ‘but has lived most of his lite in London. Man- chester, and Liverpool, so that heis what I be- lisve they enll a * Cockney-lrishman.’ Ho hus left his wife and children bebind io London, but 1 suppose they fotlow him svon.™ s “ Am Ito understund,” asked the reporter, *that Colemun wns really the mun who at- temptod to blow up the Mansion House?” “\Well,"” was the ready response, *I've al- most admitted as much to you, baven'tI? You eun't expect me to make s moredefinit answer.™ THE INDIVIDUAL WIO 11AD COME ON THE AUSTRALIA AS COLEMAN was at last found. He did not disown his name, which be suid was John Coleman, and his speech pronounced bim an Eoglishman the instant ke opened his moutl. e had read the charges against Patrick Coleman, and he laughed hearii- Iy at them as applied to himself, relishing the whole atfair s a good joke. It was evideut that this was not the man so much wanted in En- gland. Dy a singular coincidence Juhn Colemau bud taken puseage fn the Australin at the same time as Patrick Coleman. The latter, however had given an assumed name, known ouly to his friends this side of the water. HAD JOIN COLEMAYN, THE ENGLISIMAN, not have taken the same steamer, it S very doubtful if the authorities of London would have discovered so easily what bad become of Putrick Coleman. As it was, they jumped to the conclusion that the man, in taking the passige, had been silly enough to cnange ooly bis Christian name. The fuct that there was a Cole- man on board was taken by the officers of the Australia 03 evidence that he wus the man wanted, and the Captain dared not bave him pointed out to the reporter, for fenr that the British Consul might arrest him, and would object to his being interviewed in advuoce. The moment the steamer wus docked, Leopard, Coleman,and the tull, slim man walked letsurely down the gung-plank, more rapidiy up the dock,and crussed West street, down which they turned. They suddenly passed into a salvon, just above Caristopher street, and disappeared, bafiliing further pursuit by passing out of a sidé entrance. LAUGHADLE DENOUEMENT. To the Western associated Press. NEW YORK, April 9.—Much interest was felt in the urrival of tho steamsbip Australin, which came in late tnls afternoon from London, both on nccount of her being several days overdue and because she was supposed 1o CACTY among her steerugo passengers the Feninu Cotewun, one of the purties charged with attempting to blow up the Munsion lHouse in Lonagou. Cole- man, whose name was oo the list, turned out to be u mild-looking Englishmag, a native of Great Yarmouth, Norfolkstire, and n resident of Hich- field Springs, Cayugu County, in this State, where he'is éngaged in the peaceful pursuit of farming. He had spent_the winter iu England witn relatives und atteuding to business. HE WAS GREATLY SULPRISED when the pllot brought oo _board n newspaper contalniug the reporta that the English Govern-~ ment was trying to capture bim _Lefore his ur- rival bere on a charge of being implicated in n Feninu plot to blow up the Munsion House. Colemun mentioned & strange inoldent whi occurred us the Australin was leaving Albert Dock, London. oA Steernge prssenger com- pluined that the vessel wits not clean, and suid be should not go in her. The man then signaled a smull boat alongside und got over the side of the steamer Into the bout, nud was pulled ashore. He ook no baggnge with him. Cole- man and s couple of others who saw him thought it strangu that n steerage p would be $o tastidious und throw nway bis pu sage on 4 mere polnt of clennliness, which was remedied the sext day. This mun, be thought, bourded the Australia a3 u passenirer to throw the detectives off the scent,and then, us the 1 left the doek, got off and returned ashore. When be beard that the Mansion iouse Cole- man was reported a3 one of the pnssengers, he, the Eoglish Colemun, recalied this incident. SOME OF THE PASSENGERLS say they understood thut the Feninn Coleman wus on board under another name, and was mysteriously taken away a8 oon a8 the vessel touched tho deck by friends who had bourded ber with the Health Ofticer #t quarantine. The weight ot bellof is that Coleman, the Munsion Uouse plotter, did nut come on the Australin, but is still in London or aris. Great preparus tons were made by the © s of the itec Irisnmen’s Skirmishing Fuod in tbis city to pre; vent Colemun’s cupture by the English agents In the buy, and a stenmboat was out from. lust Tuesday with some lifteen or twenty men on bourd l0okiny for the Austrulia. It1s reported that Plnkerton's detective agency had xlso u boat out trying to securs Colemun. There i3 authority for sinting that Pinkerton applied 1o tho Deparunent of state for permi sion to arrest Coleman in the narbor, und ¢ Secretury Biaine replied that uo_man sbould be - arrested by bim witiiiu the maritime juvisdiction of the United States without duc process of law. O'DONNELL, another of the persons implieated in tho Man- ston House plot, arrived on the French steamer Ville de Marseilles u week ngo, and was down ho bay with others for the purpose of identify tug Coleman, who wus not . personafl known to the others. O'Donacll has given the detalls of tho attempt on the Munsion House 1o persons hcre. He says there were six men_engaged m the plot. 1t was de- cided, if the Coercion bill pussed, thut vengeance whs 10 be wreaked somewnere. The Lord Mayor was selected boeause he, aithonyh himself un Irishman, was a strong advoeate of coercion, and voted forit. In the box were 100 pounds of giant powder, und the box was bound with the strongest hoop-iron. At the Exyptian Hall side of the Mansion House, where (he attempt wus ade, there are three . poficemen on guard around u semi-cirele whict is thore formed by George streer and St. Swithen's lane. Each of- ticer patrols Bis post every Tour minutes. Cole- man took the box under his arm nud walked close bebind the officer uatil be came to a niche in the bullt-up window. COLEMAN RAPIDLY CONVEYED THE BOX to the niche, reacbing over n fron rail to do <o, and plueing u pieee of carpet on the buse of the nicho to deaden the sound of the bux asit fell upon it. He then gave the box an fuward slant, 50 that (ho force of tho concussion would be di- rected inward. He cut the {use 90 us to reach tne powder in'n minute and a balf, or about a minate before the policemnn would bave re- turiied. AS ke lert he met & woman and child. Coleman jolned bis nccomplices, who waited o few bloeks nwny for tho report, but the woman observed the fuse on tire.und the policemn whom she summoued cut 1t when about 2 couple of inches from the powder, and suved the Muu- sion House. O'DONNELL AND ANOTHER “‘SKIRMISHER™ named Mooney left the next morning tor France, and Mooney is now in Puris. O'Donnell saile from Havreon the lbihof March. The other four remained in London. T can be suited on the best uuthority that the Executive Council of the * Skirmisbers * at u mecting u few evenigs ago, I this city, considered the mutter of st ing 1o death of the twomen at Hallaghdarim, County Muyo, on the previous Suturday, by police, It was decided that their deuths were vrought abuut by the enforcement of Glad- Covrcion uct. Gladstone was declared gulity of murder and sentenced to death. How senténce 1S to bo exeeuted IS now the question under consideratlon.
