Loxpox, Nov. 8.—The *Globe this after- noon prints a sensational report to the effect that a conical bomb, weighing ten pounds, was found on Wednesday last upon a but- tress of Westminster bridge, which is close 10 the Houses of Parlinment. The bomb was taken po jon of by the police and was conveyed, according to the Globe, to Scotland Yard, the ‘headquarters of the Motropolitan police, whero 1t is being examined by exverts, {n order to devermine whother it was loaded or not. Inquiries made at Scotland Yard by a rep- resentative of the Associated press confirm the Globe story. The inspector in charge admitted that the police wero in possession of a piece of iron of a conical shape having the appearance of being a conical projectile for use in a gun which it is believed is a bomb londed with explosives. The bomb ‘was found on one of the buttresses of West- minster bridge on Wednesday afternoon on the side furthest from the House of Com- mons. The bomb was wrapped neatly in brown paper and tied with a stout cord. From tho position in which the bomb was found, the police say that1it was dropped onto the ledge by a passerby, and the police inspector added that, though the parcel found is believed to bea bomb, it is no uncommon thing to find such suspicious articles in out of the way places, and the inspector belioves that the conical shaped projectile- Jooking piece of iron which 1s in possession of the police may not be a bomb and that it may not contain dynamite or any other explosive. In conclusion, the inspector said that the alloged bomb had not been examined by experts fn such matters, but it was safo te say that the police were perfectly satisflod that the finding of the bomb was not the result of a dynamite plov to destroy the bridge or to startle the members of the House of Commons. Meant to Blow Up the Bridge. Additionalinquiries made by the Asso- clated Pross reporter and by the reporters of 8 pumberof London newspapers contra- diot the first reassuring reports given out by the Scotland officials and scom .to - show that there has undoubted)y been an attempt to blow up that part of the bridge which is near the terrace of tho House of Commons, Inquiries made at the home offics failed to confirm this last conclusion arrived at, but the gencral opinion of newspapor men who have been investigating the case is that an attempt was made to seriously damage Westmirster bridge near the House of Com- mons by the explosion of a dynamito bomb. Fursher visits to Scotland Yard resulted in _compelling the officials thore, who first denied that a dynamite plot had been dis- covered, and who even intimated that the bomb which had been found might not prove to be a dynamite bomb, tp admit that a dynamite plot had boen dis- covered, though the police all pretended that it was a plot of no importance. An Associated press representative then hired a boay at Westminster bridge and was rowed to the ‘middle of the river Thames, where & number of workmen on a barge anchored beneath the bridge were at work with paint pots and brushes in’ an attempt to clean the stone work. The Associated press _reporter found upon this barge the two ‘mén who discovered the parcel wijch contained the dynamite bomb laced ‘upon- the buttress of the bridge. From thesomen the roporter loarned. that the package found upon the bridge, which is in possession of the Folice, was undoubtedly a bomb, and that it had a fuse attached toit. Oartridges Also Found. ‘The men also asserted that in addition to the bomb several large cartridges supposed 10 be loaded with dynamite were found upon another buttress of the same bridge. One of the workmen beneath the bridge made the following statement to the reporter: My name is Thomas Morris and my mate’s namoe is James Pi Y We are watermen in tho employ of the London County council. On Wednesday afternoon, as the tide was running down and leavipg the buttress, we saw & parcel m tho buttress atout fifty yards fvom the side of the bridge and on tho neavest side to the House of Com- mons. We rowed to the parcel and found that it contained somathing heavy and enveloped in several thickuesses of aper. We shifted it carefully and placed tin B pail of water before exawining it. ‘When we thought it safe to undo the parcel we did and found that it contained a large conical shaped iron bomb which weighed ten pounds and which had a fuse scrowed info its point. Upon another buttress we found several lurge cartridges. We opened oune and found 200 shots und an equal quantity of powder. In addition we also found a row boat floating in the river bottom up. This boat had no name upon ivor any thing by which its owners could be traced.” The watermen also expressed tho opinion that the explosives had been placed upon the buttresscs of the bridge previous to low watar. The police still maintain that the plot is one of comparative unimportance, Owner of the Bomb Found. The Graphic prints the following: The Scotland Yurd detectives have traced the bomb found on & buttress of the Westmin- ster bridge to its owner, who says he picked 1t up on a battletield aftec the nco-Prus- sian war. Ho at last camo to the conclusion that it m'ght be dangerous aud determined to get rid of it. o he dropped it from West- minster bridge.

The Current 'ople club discussed the Platte canal propositior. tast evening, but the meeting degenerated into a polivical Isaac Hascall invaded the room with a body guard of his heelers. Engineer Howell of the Omaha Canal and Power company was on hand to appeal to the voters present to sustain the canal project. What was intended to be a general discussion of enterprisn was soon transformed intoa s of vehement appeals for votes for the honds, The events of the week were disoussed! in an entertaining manner by Major Halfora, after which City Attorney Connall was in- troduced tasthrow light on the legal phases of the question at issue. As a fundamental proposition Mr. Connell stated that -thore was no authority given by the charter by which bonds could be voted for tho con- struction of the canal. But when the amendments to the charter were under con- sideration jt was anticipated that the time was near at hand when the city would want to own and control its system of water works and electric lights and provisions were prepared coyer- ing these points. There was no question that this power existed. It was the only power contenplated by the charter. It would be u useless form to submit bonds for building the canal, as they would be void on their face, but the bond proposition that was before the people, which provided for the issuance of bonds to acquire and maintain u system of water works was certainly valid. If the money was intended by the voters for the construction of the canal, they would be misled, for it could not and would not be used for that purpo Contiruing, the city attorney advised the passage of tho bonds for the purpose of pur- chasing the present water works plant. He stated that the first mortgage on the plant would probably be foreciosed in a short time and if the bonds were passed the city would be ina position to step in and acquire the property. Mr. Howell took the floor to make a cam- paign speech in favor of the bonds, His re- marks consisted of a repetition of the various arguments that have been advanced during the campaign, and when he had finished the Hascall crowd called vociferously for their leader.

Thero is a prospect that in the near fusure a prinung pross will form a part of (heglerical equipment of the capitol. Tt will i all probability be made necessary by the action of the senate yestar- day in agreeing to the house resolution pro- viding for the printing instead of writing of enrolled and engrossed bill Some doubt is expressed even now as to the expediency of the proposed chango Several senators have expressed vhe opinion that it will be found impracticable to supply the large appropriation bills which come in at the close of sessions in printed form, Senator Cockrell, who has taken an especial interest in having the bills printed instead of written, says he is assured that the print- inz office can set the type and printoff all these biils within four hours after they are received, T believed, however, that at such times. a small press and a force of printers will be necessary in the capitol buildine, The proposed change is considered desira- ble by all, if it can be made to operate as de- sired. It is believed that it will prevent many mistakes, which are now often mado in the enroliment of bills, which is often done in great haste toward the close of ses- sions. Senator Gorman stated when the resolution was under discussion that many itoms had been omitted in appropriation bills and some added by clerks because of the disadyantages upder which they iabored in preparing the bilis, The snme mistakes are, of course, liable to oceur when the bill is printed, but as each senator and member can then have a copy before him, as they cannot have unader the present system, the mistakes are more liable to be detect The congress of the Unived States is ono of the last important legislative bodies in the world to use type in -handiing bilis at this stage. The Knglish Partiament made the change over four years ago. Some reminiscent interest changoe because of the fact that during his service in the senate Charles Sumner ad- vocated it, and the last resolution ever intro- duced by hin 1n the senate was one directing the committee on enrolled bills to investi- gate and report upon the exnediency of printing enrolled and engrossed bills.

New Bll Will Bs Ready When Congress Moots Next Month—tts Provisions. Wasisarox, Nov. 8,—Many stories have been in circulation about the taviff and what the ways and means committee was doing and what it could db' it congress should ad- journ and let ivalotie. After the silver bill hed passed the hotise Mr. Wilson, chairman of the committgp jon ways and meaus, ex- pressed the opinion that an adjournment will be probable *because the committee would be unable to ¥eport the bill by Novem- ber 20. ol ‘This was constyued to mean thav the ma- Jority of the committee would not be ready to report at that'tittie or to allow the repub- lican minority to,$ed the bill and prepare a roport. It is a part of theplan of the ma- jority. as soon as,the tariff bill is completed by them, to submif it to the republicans, who will' be given, about ten days in which to prepare s ml_p,qrgzy report..

Members of the majority ssy that there have been myiiy reductions und that mem- bers of the committee have discussed means of securing.additional revenue which the re- ductions and the deficit in the treasury make necessary. 'This has' included all modes of internal taxation, including tho tax on whisky, beer and _tobacco, as well as the proposed tax on incomes. 15 is statea in this connection that nothing definite can be sottled about internal taxatfon until the estimates of receipts can be more closely made than at present in the trade condi- tions of the customs portions of the bill, the first draft of which has been completed. 1t is thought that this first draft is now so near what will beapprovea by the remainder of the majority that the internal revenue feagures cun soon be incorporated, and the prohabilities are that thereisa pretty fair understanding among the members as to what they will do with the internal tax and that it will not take very long to have a bill ready to present to the republicans during vacation. It was for this privilege that Mr. Wilson was con.ending in insisting upon his resolu- tion authorizing the committee to sit during the recess and giving it leave to file its re- port with the clerk.

Continuing he said: “We met amidst the crash of Dbusine dis- bank failures and all the tressful incidents of one of the worst cinl pavics ever known in this or any we adjourn with quiot in business circles and a fair degreeof restored confidence provailing in all parts of the 3 Tt will, of course, take time for the vatious business pursuits to fully re- cover from the overwhelming depression which afflictad the country for the last six months, but the signs of “healthy improve ment are now visible on every hand, and good omens for the employment of labor cheer us from all quarters.” Furare Legsiation, ‘When requested to state his v about future legislation the senator only consented v: ““With a careful, fair and honest re vision of the tariff taxation now to follow at the regular session, only thirty dags distant, 1 predict thut we will énter upon a solid and lasting earcer of prosperity for the laboring and producing masses of every section of loved and gloriouseunion * wing the events of the session, he n looking back over the incidents nd scenes which marked the session just closed, T have nothing but pleasant and kindly feeling toward all. 1 attribute my success 1 the managemont of 1wy bill to the fact that, while firm and uncompromising in pushing it forward, I aimed at all times to be patlent. Iiberal and fair toward cvery senator. and I am now_ thoroughly convinced o contrary course would have resulted in de- feat. L believe such is the opinion also of every senator; very many of them have per- sonally so assured me." Darkest Hour of tho Bil. As to whether he ever folt any doubt of the success of repeal, Mr. Voorhees said: *The darkest hour of the bill was Senator Sherman’s (amous interview, a month ago, in which ho cncouraged its enemies and dis- d its friends by declaring in tho E ngest terms that uncondition a could never pass tho senate. I felt th blow more than' any other in the long o test and, in my judgment, it pro- oged the fight at least two weeks. Mr. Sherman was very anxious for & compromise embracing the issue ot bonds, and that was the meaningand purpose of Ms stroug speech in the sonate when he arraigned the democratic side of thc chamber for having so long delayed an effort to compromise. All these utterances and dismal "predictions on the part of the acknowleaged leader of the republican party have had one effcct. They encour- aged Mr. Teller, Mr.{Dubois and their alljes to fight on, and they chilled and damped the hoves and zeal of many staunch supporters of .the bill. I have very great respect for Mr. Sherman’s high ability and for him personally, but 1 have never believed, and do not now. that he had any real liking for the bill or that he desired its cnactment into a Taw unless it carried an amendment providing for the issuance of a goodly supply of government bonds. I donot, however, desire to indulge ina word of triticism of any one, and I gladly bear testimony to the thful sup- port the bill received from the large body of republican senators who finally gave it their votes. Fulth 1 the Administration. Sald Mr. Voorhees in reply to a question : “On the' democratic side of the chamber, where thers were strong djffercnces of opin- ion, I do not know of a singlo unfriend 1y feel- ing felt over the protracted discussion. Neithor party organization nor personal re- lations have been disturbed. We will take up our work on the tariff and other great quéstions when we meet it Decomber 18 if nothing hiad happened to mar our peace with one another. or to_impairour strength for the public good. Our faith in the present able and thoroughly patriotic administration has never been greater than now, and to my mind the future wears a bright and promis- ing aspect.” WHAT THE HOUSE LID. Resume of Its Work for the Past Three Months 1t Has Been in Session. Wasmrxarox, Nov. 3,—The cnief bill that failed in the extra session of the house was thatoroviding for urgent deficiency. The most important _item in this measure was that which provided for the janitors and custodiuns of public buildiugs. There was an item of $200,000 to pay clerks to mem- bers, but that can be passed later without causing any hindrance to public business like the first named appropriation. There nave been introduced into the house this session 4,300 bills and eighty-seven joint resolutions. Of this entire number 160 have been reported from committees and fifty-six have passed the house. Most of those passed are of intorest to the sections where they apply and have been passed to meet some necessity which existed. Of thuse that have become laws the act next in importance originating in the house after the silver repeal bill 1s the Chinese bill. T'his passed the house October 16 and the senate November 2. An haportant joint resolution which be- camen law provides for an international agreement for the marking and removal of derelicts and wrecks in the occan. Another restores to the Mormon church in Utah money and property that has been in the hands of a receiver since 1887 and fixes the qualification of voters on the Cherokee Strip, Oklaboma. B Two acts passed provide for revenue cutters, one on the great lakes and the other on the New England const, The last act signed by the president was the joint resolution reluting to the Chicago museum and allowing the articles presented o it 1o be disposed of free of duty. All legislation that is pending between the houses will be considerea in the next regular session the ‘same as if this session had con- tinued. The pending measure in the house is the bankruptey bill. Vice President Stevenson lefu at 11 o'clock tonight fof his home in Bloomington, Iil. ANXIOUS TO GET HOME.

The Poen tie-Tired Salky a Promotver of Kyphosis, owspapers for some time have been calling attention to the bicyele stoop, the humpbacked shape of bioycle riders,” remarked William Spahr, the horseman, to the Indianapolis News man. ‘Tt will soon be in order to call attention to the sprained and lame backs of professional drivers of the bicycle sulky. The old- fashioned high-wheeled sulky was none too easy on a man's back, but the pneu- matic tire is immeasurably worse. Budd Doble’s back has given out under the strain. When he drove here he had to be lifted on and off the bike, and the same thiag happened with him, 1 am told, at Terre Haute. A man past 40 old is pretty sure to have some- ; the matter with his back, and the y is sure to develop it. You have noticed the jerky motion of the wheel. It is not so evident when going % a rapid clip, but when jogging along anybody can see it. There seems to be a place on the wheel that catches—where motion is lost for abrief part of a second, just enough to be seen by the wye, and this imparts a disagreeable, j Yo lateral motion.

If a man has anything the matter with his back he had better not be working horses, as it will develop disease.” Frank Walker expressed similar views, but was not ready to commit him- self to the opinion that the bike wheel was more injurious to the driver than the large wheel. He said that the jur- ring motion was evident when an animal was being jogged, but thought when going rapidly it might be, to some extent, dissipated; the strain on the injurious to the PRENDERGAST IS 1 8o Says Dr. Clarke Gapen, the Well Known Brain Expert SANE PECULI*RITIES OF HA'RISON'S ASSASSIN Reasoning of the Crank Murdeesr Simis that W Prompted an Omana Maniio to Destroy & W of Art.
