Washington, July 21.—Morrison called
up as a question of privilege the concur
rent resolution providing for the final ad
journment on the 2Sth inst.
Reagan, while he expressed his anxiety
for a final adjournment, thought the date
fixed too early and should the resolution
be agreed to the house would fail to per
form a very important part of its duty. If
the date were fixed on the 4th of August
the house might be able to act upon the
interstate commerce bill and the Northern
Pacific land forfeiture bill.
Weaver concurred in this view and cited
the Oklahoma bill as another measure
which should be acted upon before ad
journment.
Dunn thought the friends of the river
and harbor bill should not vote for a day
of adjournment which would not give am
ple time for the final passage of that
measure. .
Bayne said congress should stay here
until the legislation demanded by the
country had been enacted into law.
Hepburn could see no excuse for an ad
journment until congress had passed upon
such measures as the inter-state commerce,
bankruptcy, polygamy and copyright bills.
Willis thought it would be unwise to
agree to a resolution which would put it
in the power of a small miuoritj' to pre
vent any action upon important measures.
The senate is not in a condition to adjourn.
There were three appropriation bills pend
ing in that body, and the surplus resolu
tion remained unacted u > in.
In advocating the resolution
which, he said, was nothing
more than information to the sen
ate that the house was read.,
to adjourn, Morrison referred t*
the surplus resolution, and re narked
that he did not mink it would lie ever
heard of in the senate. As to measures
which it was said should be passed, In
directed attention to the fact that if the
members would only cease talking and go
to work they could all be passed pre\ ious
to adjournment.
Reed said the country was satisfied that
congress had had a full trial and that it
could do nothing belter than make an at
tempt to find an adjournment.
The concurrent resolution was agreed
to—141 to 30.
.Morrison then called up the resolution
setting apart Thursday and Saturday of
this w eek for I lie consideration of the bill
for an increase of the navy. Adopted—
yeas 192, nays 47.
The house then went into a committee
of the whole -Hatch in tile chair on tin-
senate amendment to the river and harbor
bill, the pending question being the motion
made by Hewitt striking out the clause fai
ths improvement of New York harbor. He
withdrew the amendment, being assured,
he said, that the object he desired to ac
complish would be accomplished through
the medium of a conference committee.
The committee then rose, and the senate
amendment having been lion-concurred
in. the bill was sent to a conference.
Then a struggle arose fur priority of con
sideration between the inter-state com
merce and Northern.Pacific forfeiture bills,
which was resolved—yens 142, nays 90—in
favor of the former.
General debate on the inter-state com
merce bill continued before an audience of
half a dozen members until 11 o’clock, at
which hour the house adjourned.
Senate.
Washington, July 21.—The senate at
noon proceeded to the consideration of the
report in the matter of the election of Sen
ator I'ayne, and was addressed by Pugh in
advocacy of the position taken by himself,
Saulsbury. Vance and Euslis to the effect
that there had been no expression of the
•belief or suspicion on the part of any mem
ber of tlie committee to Hie effect that
Payne was connected in the remotest de
gree by act or knowledge with anything
wrong, criminal or immoral in his elec
tion. and that no further investigation id'
the charges should lie made.
Pugh criticised the views of the minority
(Hoar and Frye*. and argued that they
were in conflict with tiie president of the
senate in former cases of similar character.
He had merely desire.! to present the ease
briefly, and now in the name of seven out
of nine members of the committeeon priv
ileges and elections, iit- moved that the
committee lie discharged from further con
sideration of the subject.
Hoar addressed the senate in support of
the views of himself and Frye, recoin
mending an investigation of tin charges.
Logan took the floor to reply to the ar
gument to sustain tile views expressed in
the report signed by himself. Teller and
Evarts, to the - fleet that an investigation
should not be institute*! by the sepal'- and
that the committee should be discharged
from its further consideration. He said
that the smoke of a lamp would not Ik-
discovered on any peroration that he
would make, but he would present a plain
proposition on the law-and the facts. He
then in a long speech, fuli oi bis churactei-
istie. vigorous methods of expression, jus
tified the action of himself and
his two republican (-.di,-agues,
and devoted a large measure
of his time to replying to the attacks of

deliberate examination of the testimony
and of the law in the case. He hud done
his duty and would stand by it, for his
action was right and just and proper.
JAjiplnuse on the floor and in the gal-
Thc senate bill was rend at length, to
gether with the amendment reported by
the committee on commerce which is to
strikeout all after the enacting clause and
insert the house bill. Then amid much
confusion an effort was made to limit the
time for general debate. Finally Reagan
moved that it cease at five o’clock and an
amendment was offered by Townshend
fixing four o’clock as the time for ceas
ing the debate. Some disposition to fili
buster against Townshena’s amendment
having been shown, the amendment was
withdrawn and Reagan’s was agreed to—
201 to At. 4.
Regan then took the floor and delivered
an argument in support of the house bill,
and in portrayal of the necessities which
existed for stringent legislation for the
regulation of inter-state commerce.
1’he discussion was continued by O’Neill
of Pennsylvania, Davis of Massachusetts.
Hepburn of Iowa, and Hite of Illinois. It
was agreed that general debate should be
extended, and a night session was ordered.
Turner, of Georgia, gate notice that on
Friday next ho would move to discharge
the committee on elections from further
consideration of the Rhode Island con
tested ejection case of Page vs. Pierce, and
ask the house to consider the same at 5
o’clock.
The house took n recess tilld o’clock, the
evening session to be for general debate
only on the inter-state commerce bill.

parties are now in custody. Though the |
confession of one or more of the prisoner* \
is kept .-icret, publication will be made to
morrow of what purports to be their sub
stance. Ii'J’his is that the six men left the
meeting of their lodge at their hall at 1
o’clock on the eventful night and repaired
to tin riser where the Missouri Pacific
track skirts it; that there three of the men .
drew the spikes, while the otlu r three who |
led in the nefarious plot held drawn re
volvers over them to force them, if neees-|
sary, to the work. The trio who were thus i
in a measure coerced are said to be the
men who have confessed.
There was quite a flutter of excitement
here to-night among Knights of Labor over
the charges thus reported and imputations
against their order. A meeting of various
lodges was held at Sixth and Main streets,
this city, to-night. Several of those pres
ent were interviewed after the meeting.
They asserted that the meeting had no
.reference to the matter of the wrecking.
As members of the order, however, they
condemn such acts, and expressed a desire
to see t he perpetrators, whoever they
might be, brought to justice. There arc
rumors of other arrests pending, but
nothing positive can he learned as to
whether or not other persons than those
now in durance are implicated. Further
developments are awaited with great in
terest.

London. July 19.- -There is no change in
the situation. The cabinet meeting Satur
day night agreed in favor of immediate
resignation. This will be formally agreed
at council to-morrow, and in all proba
bility Gladstone’s resignation will tie in
the queen's hands Wednesday. A day or
two will be wasted in the queen’s sum
mons of Hartington to form a ministry,
which lie will decline to do. By Saturday
Salisbury will have accepted the task
and will be engaged in forming the cabi
net.
As examples of political journalism in
high places here, the following may be in
teresting news. The Times’ editoral says:
“The numerical defeat of the prime minis
ter is too crushing to leave him any loop
hole for escape. The analysis of the lib
oral party which we publish to-day. |
coupled with the all hut universal reduc
tion of polls by which the successful Glad-
stonians are returned, proves beyond all
question the moral authority of the union
ist party is even greater than is indicated
by their preponderance in the commons.”
To exhibit this insolent falsehood in its
true light, I have made the following cal
culation: In 215 contested borough seats of
the united kingdom tlie vote east, inelud-
' ing tlie conservatives among the unionists.
1 was unionists (452.1)13, liberals 613,US7. The
I actual number.of members returned by
I these votes are unionists 149, liberals 78.
I The proper proportion should have been
j unionists llri, liberals 110. Or to put. it in
a different way, each liberal in commons
j represents SI 10 votes, while each unionist
j represents 4409. After these- figures all
I talk of moral authority must be on tlie
' Gladstone side.
I The new parliament wiil probably be
. summoned to meet August 5. It will then,
j it is believed, be adjourned to reassemble-
some time in October. Mr. Gladstone's
! servants are packing up bis furniture,
hooks and papers in his official residence in
\ Downing street preparatory to moving.

sojourning at Royal, France, has left for

Chicago, July 21.—Tlie
moved silently into Judge Gurrl's court
this morning. There was a thoughtful
look in Spies' face as he took liis scat, and
a deep sombre melancholy seemed to
brood over the entire gang with the ex
ception of Lengg.
immediately upon the opening of court
Win. Seliger, who is regarded ns tlie prin
cipal witness for the state, was put on the
stand. The court room was crowded
and the testimony was listened
to with the keenest interest.
Seliger justified the expectation which had
been raised concerning liis testimony. He
said that Louis Lengg, one of the defend
ants, hoarded with him, and that himself
and Lengg had made a great many of the
bombs such as was used at Hayniarket, and
that himself and Lengg and another man
had distributed a trunk full of bombs to
the an rehists on the day of the Haymar-
ket affair. His testimony indicates that
Lengg is the man who threw the bomb.
Seliger testified that he lived on Sedg
wick street and had as a boarder Louis
Lengg, one of the defendants. On the
Monday night before alluded to witness
attended u meeting of the carpenters’
union nt Keith's hall. At the meeting
copies of tnc “revenge” circular were
brought in and distributed uy Baltdazar
Ran.
• Did you work at your trade Tuesday?”
"No '
•What did you do tlmt morning?”
"J got up ut 7:30 o'clock. Lengg came.
1 had previously told him I wanted those
bombs removed from my dwelling. Hi
which, he said, meant that there was to be
n meeting, and that everything was to lie
turned untide down. The word “Ruhe”
was the signal for all of tlie armed men to '
assemble on the west side. The word wi s
selected to give the men notice that there
was to he trouble. Lengg and I went
to Neff’s hall again, where a
number of others were. Herman
said to Lengg in a very angry voice, ‘you
arc the cause of it all.’ Then some one
told of the Ilaynmrket affair nnd said that
a bomb had killed a great many. Lengg
said nothing. On their way home I.?ngg
said that even now he was scolded ana
jibed nt for tlie work lie had done; that
igiit anarchists | Bis brothers in the cause did not appre
ciate him. We hid our bombs under the
sidewalk. It was about midnight when
we readied home.
Witness identified a number of imple
ments used by them in the manufacture
of their bombs, and described how the
dynamite and other stuff was brought into
the house. Witness knew Engel, and they
belonged to tlie same socialistic group. He
had often heard Engel make speeches,
saying that every workingman should
make bombs.
Ingham here held up a piece of gas pipe
and asked, “is this the way a bomb looks
when it is ready to go off?”
The court asked: “Is that loaded? ”
“Yes, your honor.”
“This is not tlie place for it,” said Judge
Garri. The spectators were evidently very
nervous at tlie production of the imple
ments of socialistic warfare, and the
women present looked very much alarmed.
Tlie prosecution assured the court that
they were not dangerous, and Inspector
Bonficld offered to take them into the next
room and take off the caps, but the court
said the next room was no place for such
work, and the bombs were taken to the
lake front for operation.
Witness resumed his story : During the
car drivers’ strike last year delegates from
different groups used to meet every week
nt tlie Arbciter Zietung office. Neebe,
Schwab and Lengg were members of a
group. The north side group had rifles
und drilled with them. Witness identified
a copy of Herr Most’s book.
The defense moved to have the testimo-
told ine to work diligently at them and ! ny all stricken out on the ground of irrele-
that they would be taken away that day.
1 took some coffee, and after a while 1
worked at some had shells, filling holes.”
Look at tlie shell I now show you
vaiiev. This was overruled, nnd the cross-
examination was begun.
Witness said he had been made no prom
ises by the state’s attorney officers, Mho
handing witness a leaden sphere about i simply told him lie had better tell the
the size of a small turnip*. Did you work | truth.' He did not know that his testimony
at these shells?” | or statements would prevent his being
"Yes.” ! tried for murder.
“What did you do?” | Tlie cross-examination was severe and
“I drilled tlie holes. It took me half an searching, but witness’testimony remained
hour.” | unshaken.

Pierce City. Mo., July 19.—'This city
was thrown into the most intense excite
ment this afternoon by the announcement
of one of the most atrocious murders that
ever took place in southwest Missouri.
J. J. White came to this place about one
year ago, and located in the northern part
of Barry county, about six miles south of
this plnce. Last winter White’s wife died
and was buried here. Last fall Ed Clum.
a brother-in-law of White’s, came here and
took lodgings with White at the farm.
After the death of Mrs. White, it seetufl,
along this spring, Ella Bowe, about seven
teen years of age, went to White’s place to
live, and White became engaged to this
girl in marriage, and was to have married
her some four weeks ago. White has been
missed from town for some days.
To-day Willis Dahoney, a colored man,
came into town and states tlmt on the
night of tlie 8th of July Ed Clum, desiring
t > get posession of his brother-in-law’s
estate, killed White and Ella Bowe, and
this colored man helped to bury IkaLL
bodies in one grave on the farm. Th£
colored man, in fear of instant death until
the present time, has kept* the secret of
the murder. He says he will go to the
spot and assist in unearthing the remains.
Mr. White was well known and well-to-do
in the world. Money ami property were
the incentives to tin* murder.
Your corrtsprmdeni was early on the
ground and assisted in unearthing the re
mains of the unfortunate victims of the
terrible tragedy of the 8th of Julv in
C.-ipp’s Creek township, Barry county.
From the most authentic information to he
had it ‘•eems the murder was committed
jnsi before sundown. The victims, White
and Miss Bowe, were seated in a iavine
under a low bluff, a) out one-fourth of a
mile from the house v. st. near the bank
off Japp’s Creek, and under the shade of
an ov rhanging sycamore tree. The
fiend shot nearly the whole top of White’s
head oil. and then completely riddled the
girl by u well-directed shot in the back
and through tin* vitals. The colored man,
Dahony, says four shots were iired from u
double-barreled shotgun. He was at the
time about thirty rods south looding some
v. cods on u wagon. Clum came down to
where lie was and told him if he opened
his )n*ad. or even h reuthed about the affair,
l.e would kill him. After dark
