Washington, July 26.— 1 u tUo House
0.(1,(V Mr. Henley, of California, from the
Coniuiittoe on Public Lauds, reported
Oiit l, the Senate bill lorfeiting certain of
ha Sands granted to the Northern Pacific
Uailroad Company. The committee re
u.muiends that in lieu of the Senate bill
tbo re be substituted the provisions ot the
House bill ou the same subject. Mr.
llcclev stated tuat the distinctive differ
tnee between tlie two bills was that while
t o e Senate bill forfeited the grant from
Wallula Junction to Portland, the House
bill included also the forieiture of the
irrant from Bismarck to the Pacific ocean.
Lie House bill forieiieil 33,000,000 acres
more than the Senate bill.
TUB DEMOCRACY'S INTENTION.
As an earnest, he said, of the determi
nation of the Democratic party to fulfill
the pledges made in its platform there was
„“,w brought forward a bill to forfeit the
most valuable of all the grants which had
ever been made in the history of the gov
ernment to any corporation. The Demo
cratic party proposed to make this bill a
test uf its fidelity to its pledges. The
complaint had been made in the Senate
tuat u this and other forfeiture bills were
parsed rank injustice might be worked to
the railroad corporation, and this com
ilaint had been made as though it were
jossible for Congress to work divestiture
yt any legal right.
Mr. Eaton, of Mississippi, supported
he Senate bill.
A COMMUNISTIC CRY.
Mr. Price, of Wisconsin, could find
oothiug m the piatiorm of any political
party which could justify Congress in
violating an express or implied contract,
as was done in the House bill. He was
not Killing to bow so abjectly before the
Communistic cry of "d— the rail
roads” as to break contracts
ami to break the pledges of parties in ua
tiotial conventions, it was demagogy
In the lowest and meanest sense.
Mr. Voorheee, of Washington Territo
ry, iavored the House bill declaring that
there were high reasons of public policy
why the land grant of the Northern Pa
cific Company should bo taken from its
control, as far as this could legally be
done.
DEFYING THE LAWMAKERS.
Ha pictured what be characterized as
Cite oppression of the railroad company as
practiced inWashington Territory, assert
ing that it dictated laws relating to rail
road taxation and set at defiance every
legislative action of the people.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, argued against
the equitable and legal power of Congress
to pass tueSenate bill.
Mr. Pavson, of Illinois, entered upon an
exhaustive review of the case, but pend

CUTTING’S DETENTION.
Roth Houses of Congress Ask. the
President for Information.
Washington, July 26.—1n the Senate
to-day .Mr. lugalls offered a resolution,
which was adopted, requesting the Presi
dent to communicate information con
cerning the alleged detention of A. K.
Cutting, an American citizen, by the
Mexican authorities at Paso del
Norte, and also whether any additional
United States troops have been recently
ordered to Fort Bliss.
It is stated at the War Department that
no United States troops have been or
dered to Fort Bliss in anticipation ot
trouble at Li Paso, arising from the re
ported refusal ot the Mexican authorities
to release Editor Cutting. It is stated
further that the concentration of Mexican
troops at that place does not in itself sig
nify a probable rupture of the present
peaceful relations with this country, but
is more likely a strategic military move
ment against the revolutionary parties in
Mexico.
in the House to-day Mr. King, of Lou
isiana, offered a resolution which was re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Af
fairs, requesting the President to com
municate to the House information con
cerning the alleged illegal detention of
A. K. Cutting, un American citizen, by
the Mexicah authorities at Paso del
Norte, and also whether an additional
force of United Stales troops has been
ordered to Fort Bliss.
CUTTING TO BE RELEASED.
Representative Lanhgm. of Texas,
who represents the district in which
Editor Cutting lives, went to the State
Department this alteruoon and asked
Secretary Bayard when Editor Cutting
would be released. Secretary Bayard
said he was assured by the Mexican gov
ernment that Mr. Cutting would bo re
leased this week, probably by Wednes
day. He bad asked, be said,
whether the concentration of
Mexican troops at Paso del Norte had
anything to do with the imprisonment of
Cutting, and the representatives of
Mexico had replied that it had not. The
troops were concentrated there to meet
tlie possibilities of the present insurrec
tionary state of the country.
WATCHING THE OUTCOME.
El Paso, Tkx , July 26. —The out
come ol the Cutting case is be
ing watched closely by the people
along the border here, who think
the government has been very remiss iu
protecting the rights and liberties of
American citizens in Mexico, and hope
that this affair will establish a precedent
for aggressive measures hereafter on the
part of the United States government.

paratively young man. The County

ganizations. Mr. Tnompsna was a very
large man. He was, in fact, so large as
to be the subject of remark. He bud the
reputation of being a man of much more
than average ability, and it. was generally
conceded that he was an houet politician,
which means a good deal in New York
city.

STORIES OF THE SPIES.
STARTLING TALKS LOOKED FOR
IN THE ANARCHIST TRIALS.
A Physician Identifies Bullets and Oth
er Missiles of Death Taken from the
Wounds of Officers after the Haytuar
ket Riots—Parson's Incendiary Allu
sions to the Fight to be Fought Under
the Red Flag.
Chicago, July 26.—The continuation
ol the anarchists trial this week it is ex
pected will witness several new aud
startling developments, after a vast
quantity of testimony similar to that al
ready given by Detective Jansen, from
other detectives who have for various
purposes been employed to watch the
movements of the Cnic ago dynamiters for
the past two years, some ol them in the
pay of the Citizens’ Association and
others in the service of Pinkerton’s
agency at tho instance of foreign
governments. A dozen witnesses
will be called to give the substance of the
inoendiary speeches made by Parsons,
Spies and Fielden at the Ilayniarket ou
tlie evening of May 4, preceding the bomb
massacre. Tbe prosecution expects to
rest its case by next Saturday, although
It may take State’s Attorney Grlnnell a
little longer to get in all the available
I evidence,much ot which has unexpectedly
| come to hand since the trial commenced.
bwobotka’s professions.
The story published in a New York pa
j per Saturday regarding an alleged inter
view witn lgnaiz Swobotka iu thut oitv,
in which Swobotka is made to confess
| that he threw the fatal Haymarket bomb,
has no confirmation among the authori
-1 ties. The opinion of those who have had
i most to do with the investigation of the
| case, and with tho direction of the efforts
I tna' have been put forth to find tho real
1 bomb thrower or to ascertain who he is,
j has settled down to one of two persons,
viz: a man shot dead by Officer Madden,
! or Kudolph Schnaubel, the machinist,
who has made his escape. The circum
stances point moAt clearly to the latter.
WURK OK THE DETECTIVES.
The full loroe and meaning of the testi
mony ot the Pinkerton men in the an
; archists’ trial will hardly be understood
! until more of it is put in. There is more
> of it to come. Detective Jansen is only
one of five of Pinkerton’s oldest officers
who vvero put to work early last winter to
find out how much the anarchist crowd
actually meant by their speeches, ami
who, in the prosecution of their work,
penetrated the anarchist dens, took part
iu their most secret conclaves, listened to
their instructions to their dupes,
and reported day by day to
W. A. Pinkerton, their employer.
Mr. Pinkerton had been employed by a
party of the largest property owners In
the city to make the investigation and
furnish the information obtained as he
got it. Ilis men were not employed to
ucouse or convict anybody. 'They wore
instructed to report the facts simply as
they found ttiom, and their testimony is
■ therefore not open to the objection which
| is usually urged with force against de
j tective evidence that is procured to con-
I vict.
JANSEN AGAIN ON TTIE STAND,
A. C. .iansen, the detective, whose dis
closures occasioned the sensation Satur
day,took the stand this morning; first, ami
the examination ol the witness was re
sumed by Air. Foster, who asked concern
ing the witness’ version of the conversa
tion which took place between Spies and
an aged gentleman on the occasion of the
parade on Decoration day of last year.
Spies, looking at, the militia, said they
would not amount to much m the event of
a riot, and that halt a dozen dynamite
bombs would scatier the soldiers in all
directions. The witness said ho did not
know who this man was. The witness
reported daily to the agency iu wrilmg,
and these written reports he obtained
lrotn the clerk at the agency. The name
of L. O.fjage is indorsed on the reports
but tiie wituess does not know Mr. Oage.
OVERTHROW OF TUB GOVERNMENT.
The witness said that on May ill, 1885,
Fielden made a speech declaring that the
government could be overthrown by force
only, and on another occasion Fielden
told the wituess that iorce was to he used
May 1, this year. On Aug. lb Parsons,
speaking of the street car men’s strike,
said that if Inspector Bonfield was shot a
social revolution would be inaugurated.
William A. Pinkerton, Obiet of the Na
tional Detective Agency, testified that he
had employed detectives to lerret out the
secret doings 01 the anarchists, but this
was ordered stricken out and Mr. Pinker
ton left the stand.
Air. Grinned read the following notice
in the Alarm of Oct. 17, 1886: “The
armed section of the American Group
rneots every .Monday night at No. 04 West
Lake street.”
THE RED FLAG.
W.P. Freeman, a newspaper reporter,
said that at the meeting on the luke (rent
Apiil 25 Parsonk spoke, saying if the
workingmen were driven to starvation
they would unlurl the banner of liberty
and fraternity and sweep everything be
fore them, ar.rl he pointed to a red flag as
lie spoke. He urged his bearers to take up
arms. Spies spoke in German. Flelileti
said the workingmen could only enjoy the
fruits of their labor by iorce. The witness
was at the Ilayrnarket. 110 saw Parsons
on the wagon. Parsons frequently cried
“To arum!” iu his speech.
Fielden discussed legislation, and said
it was useless to attempt anytning by
legislation. Force was the only recourse
leit. The witness saw l’arsous, Spies and
Fielden on the wugou, ami he also thought
he saw Schwab. When the police came
up be heard the police give a command to
the crowd to disperse, which was followed
by the explosion and firing. The witness
crouched behind the wagon until the
firing ceased. On cross examination tlie
witness said he did not bear the remark
attributed to Fielden, “W'o ars peace
able."
Joseph (Irenlmt, city tenement bouse
inspector, was called and testified that he
was present when Spies told a reporter
how the ranks ol the police could be deci
mated by dynamite. The witness was iu
the Arbeiter Zeiluug office on the attor
noon or May Band aw spi< s prepare the
"revenge” circular. This witness trem
bled violently during his examination.
He has been a recognized Socialist unci
did not wish apparently to be a witness
in the case.
spies’ AUTHORITY.
The examination ol Joseph Oruonhut
was resumed at the opening of the after
noon session, and the witness, replying to
a question as to Spies’ authority Iu the
issuance ol notices calling mass meetings
ol Socialists, and circulars advising arm
ed resistance to the police, said the edi
tor of me Arbeiter Zeltungonly acted
upon the orders of the Socialistic com
mittee. He uad never known Spies to
recommend the uso of dynamite untl other
means of resistance, except individually
for personal protection, and not for the
purpose <>f organized resistance to the
police. Thorp vi . a painful Interest in
the testimony of the next witness. Dr. F.
H. Newman,that commanded the close at
tention of the audience. The State at
torney began by handing tho witness an
ordinary nut. about half an inch square by
one-fourth of an inch thick, and asked it
bo had uot extracted it from a wound.
The witness replied that ho had taken it
from the body of 4 policeman in tho
county hospital on May 5. The man was
wounded at tho Haymarket.
other missiles exhibited.
A number ol bullets and odd shaped
missiles of various sizes were handed tho
witness in succession, and he testified to
having taken them or having seen them
taken from the bodies of other police
officers who were wounded at the same
time.
Maxwell E. Dixon, formerly a newspa
per man, knew Spios, Parsons, Fielden,
Kneebe and Sohwah. The principal fea
ture of his testimony was in reference
to a number of conversations with Par
sons. “in the latter part of last year or
iu the first part of the present,” said the
witness, “1 had my last conversation with
Parsons. He gave mo a paper containing
a diagram of tho street intersection, null
said that some such plan would illustrate
the scene of the coming stand for inde
pendence of tho Socialists in Chicago. I
asked hint if he was going to blow up any
one. You will he answered, ‘and it will
ho brought about sooner thuu you think
for.’ ”
Mr. Dixon gavo an interesting account
of several meetings of l he Socialists which
he had attended. Most of the remainder
of the afternonu was taken up by tne
prosecution in the reading of editorial and
other articles from the Alarm and similar
Socialistic organs.
FINDING OF A BOMB.
A dynamite bomb IS 1 inches long and
2 inches in diameter was found to-day se
creted in a barrel of straw on the fourth
floor of Wilber A Allen’s crockery ware
house at No. 23 East Washington street.
It was completely loaded ar.d primed.
Detective Ilohan was called to remove it
and it was deposited in Lieut. Shea’s
room, where it was pronounced the most
dangerous weapon yet found.
Abraham Oseboles, a young Russian
who worked for the firm in Slay, is sus

A MEETING OF SYMPATHIZERS.
Fully two thousand sympathizers of
tbo eight anarchists uow being tried be
fore Judge Gary assembled in the West
Twelfth street Turner Hall to-night, it
was the first “red flag” meeting since the
memorable night of May 4, and there was
considerable anxiety around police head
quarters in consequence. The entire force
there was held in readiness to answer
any call, aud a good sized number
of officers was iu attendance upon the
meeting. Gapt. O’Donnel was present
and had about forty uniformed police
men scattered inside and outside the hall,
besides many detectives in citizen’s
clothes. But tlie meeting was peaceable
and the proceedings regular. A. Blscboli
presided. Speeches were delivered by A.
B. Simpson, Dr. Ernest Schmidt and
George Schilling, all Socialists or anarch
ists oi long standing.
TEMPERING THEIR REMARKS.
The remarks of each were evidently
tempered with due regard lor tho police
force that was present, and were pretty
strictly confined to expatiating on the set
objects ot tlie meeting, which are summed
up in a series ot resolutions that were af
terward carried with a whoop. These
resolutions charge that the press has,since
May 4,with absolute unanimity, clamored
for tlie condemnation and execution of
the eight auarebists on trial, although
they have not yet been heart! in their
own delense. The resolutions further
charge that tne press has not fairly and
fully published the evidence thus far ad
duced in the trial, particularly tho cross
examination oi witnesses called by the
prosecution. In conclusion the resolu
tions “recommend to tbe organized
workers of Chicago to lollow
in the footsteps of the Central
Labor Union of New York, which
is entering the arena of political action
for the purpose of countei acting the re
pressive legislation that the capitalistic
class will no douot attempt to railroad
through our legislative bodies.”

not bo given them, owing to the needs ol
the inhabitants and the small supply]
made a rush for the harbor store housd
where Hour and lish were stored. Themea
of the small settlement gathered to defend
their only hope of existence, and a des.
penile light ensued, in wnicu tour of the
marauding Esquimaux wera nearly killed

100 KKFOItTBD I)KAD AT ASTORIA,
It wus reported Unit in Astoria alone
out ot thirty-live of forty lainilies, or a to.
tal of .100 persons, over 100 had died,
inoßtlv women and children.
In Sain the catch ol Hsh has not been
sullioleut to uHord food to the
Hants. The season, which opened on
May 1, was very backward, and had h
not been for the seal industry, which waa
tolerably good, not a soul would be living.
Along Hamilton inlet many have died. I
lu Webuck and Indian harbors Hsh is
tho only food besides n small quantity of
corn meal. They have had no vegetable*
since March 1, and the people arc almost
without clothing.
HOPKDAI.K DESERTED.
At llopedule not over 25 luinilies re.
main out ol the entire former population]
Many have gone east, along tue coast,'
in the hope of getting into better supplied
settlements, wulle *0 persons, of which 4(1
were squaws and do children, died from
starvation in June alone. There wt-rd
seme deaths In April und May, but these
were principally from exposure to cold.
The Okkah Indians are sufferini;
greatly, but there were not as many
deaths among them as was at flrst re.
ported, only twelve persons having died
this spring out of 125 who made up the!
tribe. The whole settlement is, however]
on the verge of starvation.
OTHER SCENES OK DESTRUCTION.

whole district where there is to be fouudi
destitution and death. In tho country)
lying back from Okaah, Hoped ale, Naln
and Cape Mugford there are a large num
ber of families, most ol them ludiaus or,
Esquimaux, among Whom the suffering is
really greater than it is m the inora
thickly populated settlements. The)
deaths here from starvation cannot be es-i
tiinuted, hut it is thought, judging from)
the reports now and then brought in, that;
the number is very large.
In Mew Foundland, along the north
coast, there is great destitution. From]
Cape liauld to Heart's Content hundred*
are in a dying condition. In White Bay)
alone 42 persons died last month, and no!
one knows how muuy since. sfot less!
than 1,500 persons must have perished]
but exact figures can never be known]
owing to the isolated region in which tliq|
suffering exists.
