llcagan Gets His Hill Up Over tlio
Land Forfeiture Hills.
Washington, July 21. —lu the
House to-day a struggle arose for
priority of consideration between
tbo inter-State commerce and Northern
Pacific torleituro bills, which was re
solved by a vote nl 142 to fill in favor of
the former. The Senate bill was read at
length, together with the amendment re
ported by the Committee on Commerce,
which is to strike out all alter the enact
ing clause and Insert tbo House bill.
Then amid much confusion an effort, was
made to limit the time for general debate.
Finally Mr. Reagan moved that it close
at 5 o’clock, and an amendment was
offered by Mr. Townshend fixing 4o’cloek
as the time for closing the debate. Some
disposition to filibuster against Mr.
Townshend’s amendment having been
shown tbe amendment was withdrawn
and Mr. Reagan’s was agreed to by a vote
Of 204 to 24.
REAGAN’S ARGUMENT.
Mr. Reagan then took the floor and de
livered an argument in support of the
House bill, and in portrayal of tbe ne
cessities which existed lor stringent legis
lation for the regulation ot inter-State
commerce.
The discussion was continued by
Messrs. O’Neill of Pennsylvania, Davis
of Massachusetts. Hepburn of lowa and
Hitt of Illinois. It was agreed that the
general debate should be extended and a
night session was ordered. Mr. Turner,
of Georgia, gave notice that on Friday
next he would move to discharge the
Committee on Elections from further con
sideration of the Rhode Island contested
election case of Page vs. Pierce, and ask
tbe House to consider the same. At 5
o’clock the House took a recess till 8
o’clock, the evening session to be for gen
era! debate only on tbe inter-Slate com
merce bill. ,
The general debate on tbe tnter-Mate
commerce bill continued before an au
dience ol half a dozen members until 11
o’clock, at which hour the House ad
journed.
TUICKEKY TRUMPED.
Mr. Turner Springs a Surprise on
Republican Committeemen.
Washington, July 21.—Some weeks
ago the Republican members of the
House Committee on Elections, finding
themselves in a majority through the ab
sence of their Democratic fellow commit
teemen, adjourned the committee until
next December, thereby precluding action
during this session upon two contested
election cases then pending before the
committee. This proceeding excited the
ire of the Democratic members of the
committee, but it was not believed that
the committee could be gotten to
gether again under parlia
mentary forms this session,
and tbe friends of the contestants had
about, abandoned the hope of securing a
decision of tne contests. To-day, how
ever, Chairman Turner gave notice in the
House that he should, on next Friday,
move to discharge the Elections Commit
tee from further consideration of the con
tested Rhode Island election case of Pa. e
against Pierce, and ask tor immediate
action in thecase. Mr. Turner expressed
the opinion that a majority of tbo House
will support his motion, and thus render
nugatory the action taken by the Elec
tions Committee at its lasi meeting.

Chicago, July 21. —The eight anarch
ists moved silently into Judge Gary’s
court this morning. There was a thought
ful look in Spies’ lace as he took nis seat,
and indeed sombre melancholy seemed to
brood over the eutire gang, with the ex
ception of Eingg. Immediately upon the
opening of tbe court William Seliger, who
is regarded as the principal witness for
tho State, was put on the witness stand.
The court room was crowded and the tes
timony was listened to with the keenest
interest. Seliger justified the expectation
which had been raised concerning his
testimony.
THE REVENGE CIRCULAR.
Seliger testified that he lived In Sedg
wick street and had as a boarder Louis
Eingg, one ot the defendants. On tbe
Monday night before alluded to tbo wit
ness attended a meeting of the Carpen
ters’ Union at Zepb’s Hall. At the meet
ing copies of the “revenge” circular were
brought in and distributed by Balthazar
Ran.
“Did you work at your trade Tuesday?”
“No.”
“Whatdld you do that morning?”
“I got up at 7:3oo’clock. Eingg came.
I bad previously told him I wanted those
bombs removed from my dwelling. He
told me to work diligently at them, and
that they would be taken away that day.
1 took some coffee, and alter awhile 1
worked at some bad shells, filling holes.”
SOME OF HIS HANDIWORK.
“Look at tbe shell I now show you
(banding the witness a leaden sphere
about the size of a small turnip). Did
you work at these shells?”
“Yes.”
“What did vou do?”
“1 drilled the holes. It took me half an
hour.”
“Where was Lingg?”
“At the meeting on tbe West Side. He
came back about 1 o’clock.”
“Did you speak to him?”
“Yes. He said I did not work very
much. 1 ought to have done more. I told
O'in mat l had no pleasure in the work.
Then he said we will have to work harder
this afternoon.”
Mr. Ingram, who conducted the exami
nation, offered a shell in evidence.
THE BOLTS.
“Did you have any conversation about
boi's?”
“Yes, Lingg told me to go to a place on
Claiborne avenue to get some bolts to put
in the shells. I got about 50 bulls.”
“Who worked with you ?”
“ltuebner, Manzenburg aud Hewmann.
We worked all of the afternoon.”
“What room did you work in?”
“In the front room at No. 442 Sedgwick
street, in Lingg’s room aud iu the rear
room.”
“What did Lingg do?”
GAS PIPE TUBES.
“First he worked at a gas pipe putting
in tubes.
“Tubes likethese?”
Mr. Ingham presented two wrought
iron tubes about two inches in diameter
and six inches long.
“Yes.”
“How many bombs wore made that af
ternoon ?”
“1 can’t tell.”
“A dozen?”
“Oh, more; perhaps forty or fifty; I
can’t say exactly.”
“How many round bombs?”
“I can’t tell exactly.”
“Were the round bombs cast that after
noon ?”
“No.”
CAST BY LINGG.
“Who cast them?”
“Lingg cast them onco alone in the rear
room of my store. That was six weeks
before Jlay 1.”
“Where was the first bomb you ever
saw ?”
“In Lingg’sroom sometime before that,
p-rhaps two or three monthß before-”
The witness conversed with Lingg at
the time and tbe latter told him that be
was going to make bombs also, lie saw
some dynamite in Llngg’a room. Lingg
told him even' workingman should have
dynamite and learn to use It. There was
going to be an “agitation” he said and all
workingmen ought to learn the use ol
dynamite.
BOMBS AS FODDER.
On Tuesday afternoon when they were
making oouibs Lmgg said the bombs
would be good “fodder” for capitalists,
and the jioiic.' who might try and protect
capitalists. The bombs ought to he com
pleted that evening as they were to be
used that night Lingg said. When the
wit ness left, the bouse in theevening Lingg
accompanied him, and they carried a little
trunk containing the bombs. They were
round, and some of them were pipes.
They weighed about tilty pounds. They
were all loaded with dynamite, and had
caps fixed in them.
THE SHANTY Of THE COMMUNISTS.
While they wero carrying them they
met Maozentierg, und the three of them
carried the trunk to Neff’s Hall at No. fN
Claiborne avenue. They took them in
through a side door and into tbe hallway,
there the trunk was opened and several
people came to look at Its contents. He
saw two or three men taso bombs. “I
took two and put them in my poekrsl. I
Lien went away, leaving the bombs in the
passageway of the hall. The hack of NelPs
saloon was cal led the ’.Shanty of Common
ists.’ Anarchists and Socialists all used
to meet there. When he 101 l Neff’s saloon
Lingg. Thielor and Gustav Lehman were
with him, anil they were afterwards joined
by two men of the Lehr and Wetir Verein.
All had bombs.
BKADY FOB A BIOT.
“Tell what you wero going to do that
night.”
“A disturbance was to ho made on the
No' tliSldo. That whs arranged for pre
viously. Other disturbances were to be
made on the West Side to prevent the po
lice Irom massing at, anv one point ”
Lingg said the disturbances should be
mode all over the North Hide to prevent
the police Irom going to the West Hide.
As they passed tbe Larrabee street police
station Lingg said it would be a beautiful
thing to throw In a couple of bombs.
From Larrabee street he and Lingg went
up to the Webster avenue station. A
patrol wagon caino up. Lingg said be
was going to throw in a bomb; that It
was the best time to do It. I said it was
not a good time; that it would be useless.
LINGO KXGTTKD.
Lingg became excited and wanted mo
to give him some tire from my cigar. 1
went into tbe hall and etruok a match, as
if 1 was going to give it to him. The
patrol wug.in passed before tbe match was
lighted. Lingg wanted to follow the
wagon. He thought there was trouble
on tho west side aud wanted to know
what tt was. I persuaded him to
go home. A little before 11 o’clock
Lingg asked me if I had seen
the notice In the papers that the
armed were to hold a meeting on
the West Side. He showed me a copy of
the Arneiter /flitting aud pointed to the
word “Rube.” which he said meant that
there was to be a meeting, and that
exerything was to be turned upside down.
THE SIGNAL.
The word “Ruhe” was the signal for
all of the armed men to assemble on
the West Side. Tim word was selected to
live the men notice that there was to
be trouble. Lingg and I went
go Neff's Hall, where a number ol
others were. Herman said to
Lingg in a very angry voice: “You are
the cause of it all." Then someone told
of the Haymarket affair, and said that.the
bomb bad killed a great many. Lingg
said nothing. On their way home Lingg
said that even now he was scolded and
jibed at, for t he work be bail done, aud that
his brothers in the cause did not appre
ciate him. Wc hid our bombs under the
sidewalk. It was about midnight when
we reached home.”
IMPLEMENTS IDENTIFIED.
The witness Identified a number of im
plements used by them iu tlio manufac
ture ol their bombs and described bow
dynamite and other stuff wasbmugbtinto
the house. The witness knew Engel,and
they belonged to the same Socialistic
group. He had often beard Engel make
speeches, saying that every workingman
should make bombs.
Mr. Ingham here held up a piece of gas
pipe and asked: "Is this ttie way a bomb
looks when it, is ready to go off?”
LOADED AND IN COURT.
The court asked: “Is tout loaded?”
“Yes, your Honor.”
“I’his is no place for it,’’ said Judge
Gary.
The spectators were evidently very ner
vous at the production of implements ot
Socialistic warfare, and tho women pre
sent looked very much alarmed. The
prosecution assured the court that they
were not dangerous, and Inspector Bon
tield offered to take them In the next room
aud take off the caps, hut the court said
the next room was no place tor such work
and the bombs were taken to the lake
trontforjoperatiou. The witness resumed
his story.
A PLACE OK RENDEZVOUS.
During tiie car drivers’ strike last year,
delegates from the different groups used
to meet every week at the Arbciter Zei
tung office. Neebe, Schwab and Eingg
were members of tbe groups. The Nortli
Side group had lillesanddrilled with them.
The witness identified a copy of Herr
Most’s book. The defense moved to have
the testimony all stricken out
on the ground of Irrelevancy. This
was overruled and tho cross ex
amination was begun. Tiie witness
said he had been made no promises by
the State’s attorney or officers, who sim
ply told him that he had better tell the
truth. He did not know that his testi
mony or statements would prevent his
being tried lor murder. Thecr iss-examl
nation was severe and searching, but tbe
witness’ testimony remained unshaken,
aua at 1 o’clock a recess was taken.
INTENSE INTEREST.
Not a (lull moment elapsed during the
afternoon. The jury, lawyers, Judge and
spectators wore kept fixedly, without the
slightest relaxation, at the same high
tension to which they were raised when
the day's exciting developments began in
tboearly morning hours. Kach juror anil
all the defendants were provided with
broad palm leaf fans, but despite the heat
of the room ttje cooling articles were
given scarcely a thought, while the own
ers, with heads ot perspiration on their
faces, listeued with strained attention.
When Mr. Foster had resumed the cross
examination of Seliger after the recess,
the conduct of Lingg was a study as it
gradually became evident that the main
part of the inlornier’s disclosures was
over and that the lawyers lor the defense
w r ere inaugurating a vigorous series of
attacks to break the force ol the man’s
evidence.
DOING A I.ITTT.K SKETCHING.
Lingg slowly recovered part of his com
posure. Mis evos were furtively raised
from the floor. Then the just visible down
on his upper lip w as sofily stroked as the
lawyers began to entangle the witness re
garding minor features of the testimony.
Finally Litigg rested one heel on the lower
round of bis chair, and drew the other
loot up in such a manner as to form a
support for a large pad of
paper, upon which he proceeded to draw
caricatures Of the informer, lie was ill
at ease, however, amt pursued the occu
pation fitfully. Apparently in spite of
himself, his attention went to the witness,
and it was necessary to resort to other
expedients than the draw ng board to
succeed in his effort to maintain an atti
tude of Indifference.
A TICKLER,
One question pleased Litigg Immensely,
and the lawyer repeated it in a different
form whenever the spirits of the youngest
of the delendautsssemed particular! v low.
“You are sure,” Mr. Foster would ask.
“that Lingg is the man who said bombs
woo'd bo tbs best of foddor for capi
talists and police?”
A frightened “yes” always followed
from the informer, and Lingg invariably
chuckled with most Intense delight.
A determined attempt was made hv the
defense to show that the bombs manu
factured on the afternoon bf the dav on
which the massacre occurred had no nec
essary connection with the riot in the
Hay market. "Was it - agreed between
voii and the men who hail bombs that
night at Claibourn avenue,” asked Mr.
Foster, “that any one of you wero to go
to the Mavniarket meeting?”
“No, but—”
THOROUGHLY TERRORIZED.
“Stop right there,” thundered the attor
ney for the anarchists to the trembling
figure in the witness chair. “No. Well,
yes or no: l)o you know of tho inuuu
lacture of bombs by any person to he used
against the police on the night of May I?”
“Yes— no—l cannot say.”
The witness was in a state of abject
terror. “Then it was not agreed by you
and the men who made those bombs that
anvof you were going to the Ilay market?”
‘•There was plenty said about going.”
“Hut no particular person said he was
going.”
“No.”
Being cross examined, Seliger said that
when arrested he was not placed in a
noisome cell away from tho light and air.
He still occupies an exactly similar cell
to the first one as a matter of choice and
for self protection. Foster bent over
while he und Capt. Black consulted to
gether.
SKLIGER’S WIFE.
In a moment Mr. Foster said: “Seliger,
Ib a lady who sits over there behind Capt.
Solmack your wife?”
“Yes”
A little dried up looking woman In a
russet cloak and dingy straw hat sudden
ly became the centre of attraction. Seliger
told bow. upon helng liberated by Capt.
Schaack, he and his wife went homo to
gether.
Mrs. Seliger was placed upon the wit
ness sfar.d and gave her testimony In a
thin treble voice. She was very nervous
and at times embarrassed, but displayed
none ot the cravenness that characterized
her husband. Lingg, she said, came to
board wiih them two weeks before Christ
mas.
“Did you ever see any bombs in your
housef”
“Shortly before May l saw some as
Lingg was about to hide them. There
were about half a dozen lying Iu ills bed,
which he wanted to bide. Both long ones
anil round ones—gas pipes and shells—
were there.” she had no talk with him
then about bombs.
DISAPPEARED WITH LINGO.
After Lingg had 101 l the bouse she did
notseeany more of them. On the night,
of the riot she heard people say that a
bomb bail falleu at tho Haytnarket. That
day there were several men tn her house,
six or eight, perhaps still more. Among
them were Uuebner, lineman, Thiel,
Lingg and her husband. The men were
Avorklng upon bombs. Sho did not pay
particular attention, but remembered that
lineman was filing. Said Mrs. Seliger:
“I was in the kitchen. When supper was
ready 1 went in where the men were. 1
was so mad I could throw them out.”
"Are you u Socialist?” interjected the
State’s attorney.
“No,” snapped tho witness. “They al
ways scold me. I frequently saw Lingg
inciting lead right on my cooking stove.
Twice lineman was with them aud once
Thiel and my husband. Lingg would say
to me: ‘Don’t act so foolishly standing
there; you, might be doing something,
too.’ ”
HIDING BOMBS.
The witness Haw Lingg the day after the
bomb was thrown. He was ut homo in
tbe lorenoon. He wauted to hide some
bombs iu the clothes closet. Sho beard
some hammering In his room and went
in. She said to him: “Mr. Lingg, what
are you doing there? i will not suffer
that.” lie was tearing out part of the
wall. I.lngg retorted : You are crazv ; 1
will have to look tor a place where
1 may bo permitted some liberty.”
He was very mad and went awuv. He
had loosened the base boards and took
out a mortar.
“Haveyou ever seen this Instrument ?"
said Mr. Grinnell, exhibiting an iron
spoon into which a dynamite shell was
fitted.
“Yes,” was the reply. “Lingg was
always casting with that.” Mrs. Seliger
was cross examined for tho defense by
Mr. Foster.

Inglv Tinned
Washington, July ‘2l.—ln the House
to-day Mr. Morrison called up as a ques.
tion of privilege the concurrent resolu-
Hon providing for final adjournment on
Julv 28.
Air. Ileagan, while ho expressed hie
anxiety lor final adjournment, thought!
the date fixed 100 early, and should tho
resolution be agreed to the House would
fail to perform a very important part of
Its duty. If the date were fixed as Aug.
I tho House might be able to act upon the
Inter-State commerce bill and the Norths
ern Pacific land forfeiture bill.
Mr. Woaver eonciirmfln tins view,and
cited the Oklahoma bill as another meas
ure which should be acted upon defers
adjournment.
KfVKIIS and harbors.
Mr. Dunn thought the friends ot the
river and harbor bill should not vote fern
day of wdiourumen! which would not give
ample time for the final passage of that
measure.
Mr. Bayne said Congress should stay
here until the legislation demanded by the
country has been enacted into a law.
Mr. Hepburn could see no excuse foi
adjournment until Congress had passed
upon such measures as the Inter-State
commerce, bankruptcy, polygamy and
copyright bills.
Mr. Willis thought it would lie unwise
to agree to the resolution, which would
put it in the power of a sinafl minority to
prevent any actionupon important meas
ures. The Senate was not in condition td
adjourn. I'nero were three appropriation
bills pending in that body, and the sur
plus resolution remained unacted upon.,
MU. MORRISON’S VTKWS.
In advocating the resolution, which he
snid was nothing more Mian Informal lon
to the JAenale that, the House was ready to
adjourn. Mr. Morrison referred to the
sin plus resolution and remarked that be

the Senate. As to the measures which it)
was saiil should be passed, he directed at,
tention to the fact that If the members
would onlv cease talking and go to work
they could all be passed previous to ad,

Mr. Heed said tho country was satisfied
that Congress had had a lull trial, and
that it could do nothing better than make
an attempt to find an adjournment.
The concurrent resolution was agreetj
