Ve tarife Sum Seeded for Defenses in
pi* opinion.
Washington, July 17.—After properly
j:. ~siui: of tbe bills reported from corn
miiiees to-day the House went into com
u-iiue of the wlioloon the fortification
p propriation bill. Mr. Forney, of Ala
, jua, who baschargeof the bill, explain
‘j lUJ provisions and especially advanced
importance of the provision for the
Appointment of a board to make tests to
ascertain tbe most effective guns, pro
■tctiles, torpedoes and other Implements
and engines of war.
A POLITICAL DEBATE.
Tiie debate then became politioal, in
Kbicb only occasional and incidental ref
erence to tbe bill was made. The speak
er,, were Messrs. Butterworth. Reagan,
D w -lev. Morrow, Outcbeou, Viele and
einm. A good deal of criticism and ridi
cule were bestowed upon the bill and upon
the committee tor reporting a “fortifica
tion” bill for suob a country as ours, pro
viding for tbe appropriation of only
sol'd, WO.
>lr Cutcheon thought that the title of
the bill should be “to provide how not to
do it,” or at the very best “a bill to get
ready, to prepare, to begin, to lortily.”
RANDALL DEFENDS THE BILL.
Mr. Randall defended the bill. He said
that he bail frequently beard this coun
, >rtised to the nations as defonse
l,i*. The nations of the earth knew our
eirenglh better than the American Repre
sentatives on this floor supposed that
they did. They did not take
these utterances here as truthful in aDy
r,articular. He maintained that the bill
was in no respect host ile to proper arma
ment of the United Stales, but its pur
pose was to secure knowledge of the
requirements Of the occasion. Referring
to Mr. Cutebeon’s remark upon the de
fenseless condition ol the lake coast, he
smtiitsied tbat Great Britain was wiser
than the gentleman.
ENGLAND’S 6HRKWDNKSS.
England knew that the moment she be
wail war with the United Stales the United
states meant that she should not have a
font of ground on this continent, and she
was not going to be guilty ot disturbing
tne peace of the country.
Several amendments looking to increase
tbe amount of the appropriation were re
jected. Tue committee then rose and re
ported the bill to the House.
Mr. Randall moved to reduce the ap
propriation tor the armament ol fortifica
tions from $500,000 to SIOO,OOO.
Mr. Reed, of Maine, suggested that
tliere should boa discussion over the
proposition to vote want of coufideuce in
another department of tbe government.
Fending a vote on demand for the pre
' , n the hour of 5 o’ehoek ar

St, Louis Delegates Indicted for
Drunkenness and Bribery.
St. Louis, July 17.—Tho grand jury
closed its investigation of the charges
against the members of the House of
Delegates last night, and returned indict
ments against six of them—Waters,
Pisbon, Brueggman, Gartenbach, Keenan
and one other, whose name has not been
ascertained, were indicted for drunken
ness in office, and Keenan, Pisbon and
Brady for bribery in connection with the
investigation of the Casino Theatre, when
the bill revoking that theatre’s license for
indecent performances was before the
house. The jury returned two other in
dictments for attempted bribery, one
against I)r. Wellington Adams and the
other against Charles A. Davis, an attor
ney. These gentlemen had charge of the
electric railway bill, and were present at
almost every session ot the House urging
Us passage.
UK LIVED IN A GLASS HODBK.
The bill failed to pass, however, and it
is said that Dr. Adams became enraged
at the members who had voted against
the measure and threatened in the lobby
of the House to show up some of them in
such an unfavorable light as to make
them decidedly uncomfortable. Then
followed charges against twelve delegates
that thev were ineligible to office, having
perjured themselves by swearing falsely
to the oath when thev took their seats.
This exposure naturally aroused the
wrath of the jccused and they deter
mined to pay the doctor off in his own
coin, and gave information to the jury
which led to his indictment, this infor
mation being that he had offered two of
the members a large sum of money
for their affirmative votes upon the bill.
Dr. Adams states, however, that he never
attempted to bribe these members, but
that they on the other hand came to him
and volunteered to vote tor the bill for a
certain money consideration. Bench war
rants for the arrest of the indicted men
have been placed in the hands of the
Sheriff. Delegate Pisbon and Dr. Adams
were arrested this afternoon and brought
into court, where they furnished bonds in
the sum of $1,500. The other warrants
will be served as soon as possible.
SINFUL SANCTIMONIOUSNESS.
Pious Pension Clerk Gny Proves a
Gay Deceiver.
Pittsburg, July 17.—Samuel K. Gay,
chief clerk in the Pittsburg Pension
Office, has probably gone to Canada to
join the great array of bank cashiers.
Yesterday afternoon PensionAgentKrrett
discovered that Gay had forged the names
of pensioners to three checks aggregating
$BOO. An information for forgery was
made before United States Commissioner
MoCandiess and a warrant wss isatiod for
his arrest, but before the officer could
serve it Gay got wind of the movement
and quickly left the city. Rumor is busy
with the case and conjecture is rife that
the amount above stated may be only a
fraction of Gay’s stealings. Several
week" agoan investigationofthe accounts
of the pension agent in Pittsburg was
made and it was then found that there
were several discrepancies, involving
considerable sums of money.
THK BOOKS FALSIFIED.
There was every evidence of embezzle
ment, covered by falsification of the
books. Agent Errett was then notified
by the Treasury Department to look after
his clerks, as someone was doing wrong.
Nothing further was beard of the matter
until last evening, when Aaent Krrett
telegraphed to Washington that Gay had
absconded. Gay was the son of wealthy
parents, and some years ago married a
relative of Mayor Fulton. He was an ex
emplary young man—ln fact a strict at
tendant at church, quite active in the
Young Men’s Christian Association and
a prominent leader in the Murphy tem
perance movement. He took great In
terest in lectures by clergymen, and was
the bead and front of nearly all the move
ments to bring Bev. Talmage to Pitts
burg. Even his most intimate friends
never saw anything in bis conduct that
would arouse suspicion. Gay had a salary
of $75 per month.

TROOPS IN. TAMAUUPAS.
Both Sides Actively Preparing; for
the Campaign.
New Laredo, Tkx.. July 17.—Excite
ment ran high in this city yesterdav
caused by sensational reports coming in
from Mier anu Guerrero. It is said that
the whole country in that section is in
arms and that recruits are going there
from the American side of I tie river.
Bnenito Das. an ex-revolutionist and
bandit, who had sojourned on the Texas
side of the river for some time past, has
joined the insurgents in Mexico. Laredo
has been chosen as the headquarters
for the government troops in the northern
part of Taniaullpas. Last evening the
Monterey traiu over the Mexican Na
tional brought in 250 troops, who imme
diately went into camp at tho govern
ment barracks, and are awaiting march
ing orders from Matamoras. Thov are
commanded by Col. Parras, an expe
rienced soldier and an adept at deposing
troublesome civil Governors in favor of
the supreme Federal government.
TAPIAB’ cruelty.
Matamora, Mex., July 17.—Further
detail so! the attack by Tapias’men on
the tra'n at Capote station confirm the
account sent yesterday. Col. Prejadis
Cavassos, with a force of cavalry, arrived
at the station within an hour after the
train had passed, but found that Tapias’
men bad also left. It is thought that he

eount of a fight has yet been obtained.
The revolutionists are raiding all

Solioieno. stopped a ranchero and
demanded his horse and pistol. The lat
ter refused and fired at one of the party,
wounding him, when his body was riddled
with bullets, strung to a tree on the road
side as a warning to others and his horse
and pistols carried off in triumph. The
revolution appears to be spreading in the
State of Nuevo Leon.
MOVEMENTS OK THK REVOLUTIONISTS.
The Elmundo of to-day puolished an
extia with the following dispatch from
Agualeguas, in that State: “In answer to
the cry for the restoration of the consti
tution of 1857, valiant Col. Francisco T.
Casa, at the head of over fifty men, occu
pied the city. There is no limit to the
enthusiasm. Mariano Cruz has also to
day been occupied. Gen. Bravo and
Luciana Hinojosa. l>r. Cos and Is Alda
maxo ami Es Tisjercna captured Herre
ras, Avala, Ascension. Juan Biedriguez
took possession of Sibenas, Hidalgo and
Vai'ecello. The sons of Nuevo Leon,
like all the inhabitants of tho Mexican
frontier, the classio land of liberty, have
risen en masse to break the chains of
slavery which oppress the nation.”
ON THK INCREASE.
St. Louis, July 17.—A special corre
spondent at Brownsville, Tex., telertaphs
i hat there is every evidence that ibe revo
lutionary movement in Tarnaulipns itnon
tlie increase, and owners of large stock
haciendas in the interior are sending their
cattle as fast as possible across the border
into Texas.
The foroe of the revolntionary bandit
Cbiet lnooencio Topto, who is operating
in the country, is increasing rapidly, and
all the desperadoes on both sides of the
river are flocking to his standard. His
only trouble is lack of arms, which he is
stealing wherever they can be found. All
of the Fifth cavalry regiment leit
Matamoras at 9 o’clock last
night to reinforce Col. Cavasos.
Sheriff Brito. who arrived here
last night with nine other officers.and ade
tachment of cavalry from Fort Brown, left
for the north to-day to meet an anticipated
attack on this side* of the river. A dis
patch from him, dated at Santa Maria,
Tex., is as follows: “A party o( sixty
revolutionists entered Solioieno ranch
this morning, and stole a large number of
horses and all the arms they
could find. Col. Cavasos is at
EusBnda. A conflict is expected
hourly. I am effecting a combination
w ith Col. Cavasos, The Mexican army
will raid Bolsa to-night or early in the
morning. The government troops bad a
skirmish with the revolutionists yester
day a lew miles below here. Col. Cavasos
captured three prisoners. Among thorn
-luan Saldana and Y!imusl Hinojosa, out
laws ou both sides Of tao river.”
CROSSING THF'DfSK.
Brownsville,Tkx., July 17.—The revo
lution in Tamaulip&H, Mexico, appeais to
be increasing anil the troops in this sec
tion seem utterly unable to copo with it.
Already they are making some demon
strations toward this side. Last Wednes
day night twenty of them crossed and
occupied a ranch six miles above
this city, but as they committed no
overtacts they were not arrested. To day,
however, Shetiff Britto received the fol
lowing dispatch from Santa Maria:
“Last night fifteen men crosseq from this
side to Laßalsa to join the party. Among
them were Larcos de Luna, Manuel flina
josa, Bernardo Gonzales and other ‘good
ones.’ They are stealing guns aud pistols
and horses from the ranches in front o(
hero. Tney killed one man yesterday be
cause he would not give iyt bis pistols.”
IN NEED OK ARMS.
Santa Maria is twenty-live miles above
here ou the river, and there is a small
sub-post of United States cavalry sta
tioned there. As the parties mentioned
in tho telegram are noted desperadoes
and outlaws indicted here, Sheriff Britto
at once loft with a force ol deputies for
the scene of action, and on his repre
sentation Maj. Kellogg sent up a force of
cavalry to reinforce the sut*-post and pre
vent any invasion of American soil. It
is known that the revolutionists want
arms badly, ar.d as there is a large sup
ply at Hynes’stores, in Santa Maria, it is
leared that they may be tempted to at
tack and capture them.
TEXAS’ BOUNDARY LINE.
The State and United States Com
missioners Kail to Agree.
Galveston, Tex., July 17.—A special
says: The joint boundary commission on
the part, of the United States and the
State of Texas, appointed to determine
the boundary line of Greer comity,claimed
respectively by Indian Territory aud
Texas, adjourned yesterday without
agreeing. T’ne disagreement is on
the main question, viz.: Which
stream, the north or south fork,
of the Bed river Is the main stream. The
Texas commissioners are solid for the
north fork, while the United States com
missioners arc equally as solid for the
south fork. This finding of each act of
commissioners will report respectively to
the I’resitfent of the United States and the
Governor of Texas: so the question Is vir
tually where it was prior to the appoint
ment of the commission, except that ali
the evidence on both sides ha" Wen col
lector! and an Impartial decision may bo
reached in Congress, and the Btate Legis
lature will let the courts decide the mat
ter.

Lilted Uot Cost After Letrnfliie their
Mistake—lnformer Waller Again on
the Stand—Two Police Lieutenant*
Give Testimony.
Chicago, July 17.—The court room
where the trial of the anarchists Is pro
gressing was packed to-day. Tho dis
closures of Gottfried Waller wera of a
character to excite the Interest of the
public to the highest pitch. The apjrear
ance of Waller as ho gave his testimony
was very peculiar. Ho is a medium
sized man, with dark hair and luxuriant
hut well trimmed whiskers. He has a
drooping nose aud clear, brown eyes.
His face was very pale and bore an ex
pression of shame and terror as he uu
folded his sensational tale, revealing the
secrets of the Lehr and Wehr Vernn.
When the court was opened to-day Waller
was again placed on the stand.
UIVKN A BOMB.
The witness testified that the bomb
given him by Fischer on Thanksgiving
day last, with instructions to use it on
the police if they Interfered with the
meeting to be held I had evening at .Market
square, he kept in his house for two
weeks and then exploded it in tho woods.
The witness continued his testimony,
saying that Schonerbett was at the meet
ing.
‘•Did Schonerbett say anything at the
meeting?”
‘‘He said we should tell the other mem
bers what we had decided to do. He said
the thing should commence in other
places, also.”
“W'hatdo you mean by the thing?”
“The revolution.”
The witness testified that at a meeting
held in Bohemian Hall Sunday. May 2,
Engel and Fiseber (t woof the defendants)
and a number of other Socialists were
present.
ENGEL’S PLAN.
Engel submitted a plan according to
which as soon as it came to a conflict be
tween tbe police and Northwestern groups
bombs should be thrown into ibe police
stations. Then the riflemen of the Lehr
and Wehr Vernn were to be posted at a
distance and shoot all who should como
out of the station bouses. That was to
be kept up until we reached the city. We
were to kill everybody who opposed us.
Eugel'splan was finally adopted by the
meeting.
This concluded the direct examination.
The counsel for the defense, after a con
ference, asked to have Waller's testimony
stricken out. The court overruled this,
and the cross examination of the witness
was begun.
The witness was severely cross ex
amined, but his testimony remained un
shaken. He said (hat no offers Bad been
made to him to induce him to testily.
A SECOND INFORM 1C It.
Absorbing as bad befen the morning ses
sion. the afternoon lar surpassed it in in
terest. The first move on the part of the
.State was the introduction ol another in
former. This was Bernhardt Schrader, who
on the night preceding the bomb throw,
ing had been present in the oonsniraoy
meeting at which Waller, tho previous
witness for the prosecution, had presided.
The second informer, Schrader, is a car
penter and has lived in this country
five years. He was born in Russia. His
power! ul frame, surmounted by a diminu
tive bead, bis retreating forehead, and
his weasel eyes at once attracted the gaze
of the court room Schrader’s bronzed
countenance gradually became ashen as
slowly, through an interpreter, sentence
by senteuce the Assistant State’s Attor
ney proceeded to elicit from him a state
ment. concerning the meeting Monday
night in Ureif’s Hail, where informer
W'alier was chairman.
BAD FOR 'IHK PROSECUTION.
Schrader said he reached the hall at 0
o’clock. The mcetiug was already in
order. Waller was presiding. There
were thirty or forty present. It was
agreed that if the police attacked any
meeting then the anarchists were to
mutually assist each other to destroy the
officers." The members of Northwest
group should go to W icker I’ark station in
case the police should make an attack,
ff any member hail anything with him he
ebotld use it. Nothing was said about
bumbs. The attorneys for the Slate looked
at each other and seemed slightly annoyed.
Thev said: “Was anything said about
dynamite?” A shake of his head was the
response and the laces of the prosecuting
lawyers lengthened perceptibly. Another
question was put: “In the meeting did
you hear any reference to the word Rube ?”
Again a shake of the head. The subject
was quickly changed.
BCHKADKR AT THE HAYMARKET.
Schrader told of attending the Hav
market meeting. He was in the Randolph
street saloon when the bomb was thrown.
He lelt the speakers because drops of ram
had begun to fall. The witness then told
in detail ol his connection with the Lehr
and Wehr Vernn, They drilled once a
wssek with Springfield rifles. Ho was No.
&>. There were four companies in the
city. Ihe total numbers he did not know.
At this point Mr. Foster, for the defense,
began to cross-examine. Nothing was
said about bombs, tho witness continued,
either at the Sunday or Monday meetings
preceding the explosion of the bomb.
“Then in these two meetings no agree
ment wasTnade,” asked Mr. Foster, “to
throw bombs at the UaymarketF’
“Not while I was there.”
NO AGREEMENT TO USE DYNAMITIC.
“Then it was not agreed to use dyna
mite to destroy the police at the Hay
market?"
“Not that I am aware.”
“No, nobodv asked me to take a bomb
to the meeting. 1 knew that when the
police should coma each one should help
himself.”
“No, not with bombs that l know.”
“No. 1 did not anticipate any trouble at
tho Daytnarket after 1 left.”
“When the bomb was tbrowfi I was
quietly sitting in the saloon.”
“The sign of the Greek letter was tho
sign of meetings for months previous to
the Haymarket tight.”
“No, It was not agreed that there should
be trouble that night; only we knew that
it the police made an attack then there
might be trouble.”
LAWYERS IN A SNARL.
Again the prosecution took tho witness
In hand. Mr Ingham, bolding a long
manuscript up to view aad eyeing Schra
der, In a sharp manner asked abruptly:
“Did you not make I’ollce Capt. Scbacfc a
written statement?”
“We object,” was shouted by everyone
of the lawyers tor tbe defense. They
were on their leet excitedly appealing
to the Judge. A hot discussion ensued.
The defense strained every nerve to pre
vent a whisper even of what Schrader
told the police reaabing the ears ot tho
jury. At length, apparently in deeper a
i tton. the assistant to the State’s Attorney
l blurted out: “We wish toshow that time
and time again witness had said he heard
i the word Rulie used.”
Judge Gary was pounding his desk, anil
1 the words of the impetuous Mr. Ingham
| were lost. Then the fact came out, with
no attempt in conceahneut, that the State
had been deceived and possibly duped.
The testimony of Schrader was not what
i 'hoy had expected him to give. Moiisrs.
Black aud Foster wero In high glee.
DROPPED LIKE A MOT COAL.
Mr. lngbam. Ids face red with anger,
j said: “It is evident, troiu the action ot
j the witness and from tho action of the
j counsel, that Schrader is their witness
aud not our witness,” and forthwith the
j ostensible informer was dropped like a
{ hot coal.
Lieut. Steele now took tho stand. He
was in charge of tho company ot twenty -
tive officers in tho flaymarkot. * He gave
a brief account of the munsaore. The
police had their revolvers in their pockets,
their clubs in their belts and their hands
by their sides. When they reached tho
speakers’ wagon someone in the crowd
shouted: “Here come the bloodhounds.
Vou doyeurduty and we Will do ours.”
Then a bomb was thrown. A smaller ox
plosion followed like the report of a large
pistol.
On being cross examined the witness
thought luo manner la which the crowd
seperated beiore tho police was peculiar.
A peaceable law iisseuiblage udgnthave
separated in that inuuner, but it was not
likely. He wus close to the wujpiu, but
after Capt. Ward’s command to disperse,
heard no expression by Fieldon. Lieut,
tjuinn, who also commanded a company
of police in tho Haymarket affair, suc
ceeded Lieut. Steele as a witness.
He testified that the expression, “Here,
come the bloodhounds; you do your duty
and I’ll do miae,” came from a man on
the wagon who was addressing the crowd.
Every eye in the room was turned upon
the anarchist Fieldon, who straightened
up in his obair and sullenly glared at the
witness. The continuing in
his description of the events of that night
in the Haymarket, unconsciously rose to
his feet to better illustrate his re
marks. Ho said: “The Captain was
just ordering ‘disperse’ and the speaker
was climbing from the wagem. Turning
toward Mie police the msn yelled ‘wears
peaceful,’ and pulled a revolver Ironi his
nip and point blank fired at Ward, Bon
lield and the officers behind them. The
bomb exploded almost tho same instant.”
This is the first evidence that, any certain
defendant had directly attempted to mur
.der in the Haymarket.
