wJ impatient at any debate, ho thought
. t w 0l |ij contribute to a speedy disposition

THE MKIIUIMAC AND THE MONITOH.
ill. Hawley said the little light between
fie Merrnuac and Monitor had revolu
tionized the great navies of the world.
<iae I'nited States had given that lesson,
p Jt had left ihe work since. He invited
ttie senators, without reference to party,
to take into consideration the serious
character of the pending proposition, and
to agree wisely and prudently, and, in
E-cori with T lie highest demand
o: modern science to reiuvernate the na
tural coast, defenses. He was rejoiced at
this hill, and only wished that it went
further in ihe same direction, Hequoted
a grnvinglv from the letter of Samuel J.

of i engross on the subject, and said that

people who call themselves statesmen and
politicians.
an extract from the letter.
Following is an extract read by Mr.
11 aw ley:
•'Hit! apathy of Congress on this sub
let would be incredible if it did not con
hoot us. It contrasts with the rivalry
which is so conspicuous to insist on our
taking a high tone tow ard foreign nations
on every occasion of difference between
them ami us. It contrasts also with the
lavur which is shown to schemes of
prodigality and schemes to waste the
public resources ou things known to be
absolutely useless. Among the people
Ihe desire tor liberal appropriations to
wards means of public defense is well
nigh unanimous. lam well informed as
to popular leoling from the circumstance
that more than 700 newspapers, from all
parlsot the country and representing all
political parlies, containing.expressions
upon trie subject, have been sent to me.”
AX AMENDMENT DEFEATED.
Mr. Doipp moved an amendment appro
firmiing $2,00,1.000 for the construction of

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Xlie Senate Agrees to Another Con
ference with the House.
IV asuxnoton, July 28.—1 u the Senate
to-day Mr. McMillan, from the conference
committee on the river and harbor bill,
reported that the committee was unable
to agree. The chair (Mr. Sherman ) there
upon laid before the Senate a message
from the House to the effect tnat it had
instructed its conferees to insist on strik
ing from the bill items as to the Portage
Lake, Lake Sunerior ship canal, Lake
-Michigan and Hennepin canal, Sturgeon
Hay and Lake Michigan ship canal, the
Mississippi river improvements and Po
tomac river improvements.
Mr. McMillan remarked that there was
a parliamentary question as to the right
of the House to give these instructions
ana remove the conference from being a
“full ami free conference.” The con
ferees,however, had concluded to “waive”
that question, as the session was so near
its close and as the interests of the coun
try required action ou the bill. He there
fore moved that the Senate insist on its
disagreement and agree to the conference
asked by the House.
After a long discussion a resolution was
adopted that the Senate insists on its
amendments, including those mentioned
in the House resolutions, and agree to
the conference asked for. Messrs. Mc-
Millan, Conger and Hansom were re
appointed conferees on the part of the Sen
ate.
The conferees on the river and harbor
appropriation bill to-day again endeavor
ed to reach an agreement on the points of
difference between the two houses, but
without success. The conference, how
ever, was characterized by a mure con
ciliatory spirit than has yet manifested it
self, and the prospects of the bill are re
garded as brighter by several of the con
ference. Another meeting will be held
to-morrow.
A NEW SCHEME.
Tbe friends of the river and harbor ap
propriations think they see a way to get
what they want, and will probably at
tempt to carry it out. It is to abandon
the river and harbor bill proper and take
up and force through t e Hreckenridge
bill appropriating $10,000,000 to bo ex
pended in the proportion and upon the
works provided for In thq-last river and
harbor law.
SU.VEK C K KTIFIC AL’ES.
The House Stands hy the Recom
mendation of t he Committee.
Washington, July 28.— Tho House to
day went into committee of the whole on
the Senate amendments to the sundry
civil appropriation bill. The amendments
were considered without discussion, and
tbe recommendations of the Committee on
Appropriations were agreed to until the
clause relating to silver certificates was
reached.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, offered an
amendment providing that certitieates
snail be Issued on all standard silver dol
lars In the Treasury and paid out on ob
ligations of the government, and w’hen re
ceived in the Treasury shall be reissued.
The amendment was rejected by a vole
of SI to 87, and the clause was agreed to
in tne shape recommended by the Com
mittee on Appropriations.
PROTECTING FUBLIC LANDS.
The next question upon which a bitch
occurred was the Senate*%niendinent re
ducing trom $90,000 to $75,000 the appro
priation tor the protection of public
lands against fraudulent entries. The
Committee on Appropriations recom
mend concurrence in the amendment,but
Mr. Holman moved non-concurrence. The
motion to non-concur was lost by a vote
of 50 to 111, and the amendment was con
curred in. Other amendments were con
curred in or nonconourred in,according to
the recommendation of the Committee on
Appropriations, and the committee of the
whole rose and reported the bill aud
amendments to the House.
Mr. Bland demanded a separate vote
upon concurring in the Senate amend
ment to tne silver certificate clause, as
amended. It was so concurred in by a
vote ol 110 t 035, Mr. island not being able
to muster sufficient following to order the
yeas and nays. The action of the com
mittee of thii whole on other amendments
was then ratified and a conference or
dered-
CUTTING’S INCARCERATION.
Mexico Increases His Allowance
lor Rations to fOe. Per Day.
El I’aso, Tex., July 28. — Editor Cut
ting, for whose release the United States
government made a formal demand on
Mexico, still remains In jail. The air in
the duugeon in which he is incarcerated
became so dreadfully loul that orders
were given to break a small opening
through the thick adobe wall so as to ad
mit Iresh air. Beloro this was done there
was no ventilation except by means of a
small door. His dally allowance lor sub
sistence has bteu raised from seven to
fifty cents per day. The Mexican troops
are kept busy at some kind ot work in tho
rear of the barracks and old Cathedral.
They deny that they are building fortili
cationsor entrenchments, but refuse to
stale what the work is that they are eni
ployed upon.
The altitude of tho Mexican authorities
shows very clearly that they do not in
tend to give Culling up under any cir
cumstances. ftenor Rumos, Chief Justice
ol the Stale of Chihuahua, in company
with Senor Itinoo, the Governor's private
secretary, wore at LI l’asoyesterday, and
had a talk with some of the leading citi
zens about the Cutting case. They could
arrive at uo other conclusion than tnat
Cutting was guilty of deliber
ate und flagrant contempt of court
and Hie ollenso being committed ou
Mexican hoi) dime under ihu Mexican
laws. They stated tiiat tne publication
made by the prisoner in the LI I’aso news
paper did not figure in the matter at ail,
except as corroborating the charge of
contempt based upon other acts. Both
gentlemen said the question was now tbe
subject of correspondence between the
two governments,aud would bo settled in
tne ordinary course of diplomacy, but
that the government of Mexico could not
be scaled inioaii unconditional surrender.

PIERSON’S THEFTS.
A
He Charges liis Assistant with Com
plicity in His Crimes.
Philadelphia, July 28.—Edward P.
Pierson, the defaulting cashier of the
Baptist Publication Society, has turned
in all the personal property ho possessed
to the Baptist Publication Society, but it
will reduce the amount he owes to them
less than $15,000. lie has also implicated
Benj. Felzberg, bis assistant. The latter
became til alter Pierson’s mishap last
May, and has not been with the society
since. It is understood that he made a
confession, saying he was but a tool of
Pierson, it was understood to-day that
Pierson, in order to avert the annoyance
ot having detectives hanging around ills
house, would have bail entered for his
appearance. Bail has been fixed at $5,000-
No warrant was issued to-day for F’elz
berg, it being understood that he will re
main where he can be iound when wanted.
The report of the Board of the American
liaplise Publication Society says: The
total amount abstracted is $30,421 47. Of
this, $4,015 15 has been recovered, leaving
a shortage at this date, ot $20,400 27. The
board have obtained other securities,
which, when converted into money, will
reduce the net loss, as nearly as we can
now estimate, to $22,000, probably to $20,-
000.
BROWN SFR RKNDERS.
Ho Gives a Thousand Hollar Bond
to Appear in Georgia for Trial.
Cincinnati, July 28.—Fred S. Brown,
of the Enquirer, surrendered himself to
the Federal authorities yesterday and
gave bonds in $l,OOO to appear at the next
term of tne United Stales Court in Geor
gia to answer to an indictment for send
ing an obscene letter through the mails.
Mr. Brown was in Georgia a year and a
hal," ago and wrote several sensational
letters to his paper in which some old
scandals were revived and whicn raised
a very deep feeling against him. The let
ter on which the indictment is based was
addressed to the editor of the paper in
.Macon, and is said to come under the
definition “obscene.” Mr. Brown thinks
someone forged the letter and had him
indicted so as to get him in Macon, where
be will be liable to arrest under the State
law.

A Comical Looking Witness Olvei tlie
Most Important T estimony yet in the
Auaroliist Trial —Police Tell of Their
Visit to the Arbeiter /.Hil ling Office—
The Struggle With Ltngg.
Chicago, July 28.—1n tho anarchist
trials to-day H. L. Giltnor, a painter, liv
ing at No. 50 North Ann street, testified,
lie arrived at tho Haymarket at 9:45
o’clock p. m , at the corner of Desplalnes
and Randolph streets. Ho saw tho wagon
occupied by the speakers. Fielden was
speaking. Tho witness saw some ono
leave the wagon aud start toward an alley,
whore four or five persons were convers
ing. The witness was at the mouth of
the alloy. At that moment someone
cried: “Here come the police.” Then the
man who loit the wagoa and joined the
parties in the alley lit a maten and placed
it ugainst something held in the hand
of one of the persons. The fuse began to
sizzle and immediately thereafter the
bomb was thrown. The witness was
shown a picture of Schnaubel, and recog
nized it as that of the uran who throw the
bomb.
Question —How many wero there?
-[Answer —Four or five.
THE COMPANIONS.
Q. —You eav the man canto from tho
wagon aud joined this group. Can you
recognize any of the delenilauts as that
man ?
A.—Yes, that is the man (pointing at
Spies ).
When Spies was pointed out he display
ed great aud palpable agitation.
Q. — Do you recognize any o( the re
maining defendants as composing any
part oi that group.
A. —Yes, that uian there was one ot the
group.
The witness pointed out defendant
Fischer.
This testimony, following that of
Thompson yesterday, occasioned a most
profound sensation in the court room.
The witness, on cross examination, said
that prior to coming to Chicago he lived
at Dos Moines, ia. He came here in 1879.
Mr. Foster des>red to know everything
about the history of the man who nail
given such frightful testimony againsthls
clients. He asked tne witness when he
learned that a reward had been offered for
conviction in this case. He replied that
he was not aware tout any reward had
been offered. The witness explained sat
isfactorily as to his wnereabouts. He did
not appear at the Coroner’s inquest, but
did report the facts to the police a few
days after the tragedy. He went to the
Haymarket to look !or a friend who had
gone there. He did not note particularly
what Fielden was saving. In conclusion
Mr. Foster asked: “And you say it was
Spies who lelt the wagon?”
A.—l do.
VERY close mouthed.
Continuing the cross-examination, Uil
mor replied that he thought ho saw
Senwab near the wagon.
Q. —Where were you that evening be
fore yon went to the Haymarket?
A.—l was at the Palmer House.
Q. — What were you doing there!
A.—l desired to see ex-Gov,Morrill and
Judge Ford.
The witness was plied with all lorins oi
questions, but answered them apparently
satisfactorily. He worked with a painter
nextday, aud wbiie he spoke of the Hay
market tragedy did not tell what he saw.
He did not tell his landlord or landlady
with wbwn he was staying. He did not
think it concerned them. ’Ho only told
the State’s attorney.
Q. —Did you see any one shot at the
Haymarket?
A.—No, sir; but I saw a great deal of
shooting.
MIRK 81*1 ES LIT THE FUSE.
(J. —And you say that it was Spies that
left the wagon, joined the grout) in the
alley and lit the match which fired the
bomb which caused tho explosion at the
Haymarket ?
A. —1 do.
Apparently baffled and exhausted, the
cross examination ceased, and the court
adjourned for dinner.
The anarchists, particularly Spies and
Fischer, appeared to be completely oorne
down bv tne damaging character of ihe
evidence so coldly delivered against them.
Gilmer is a long, lauk man,with a sancti
monious expression o! countenance, and
speaks in a drawling tone of voice that
almost lulled the spectaiors to sleep.
INTENSITY OF THE INTEREST.
The appearance of indifference in the
audience vvassuddenly dispelled when tne
witness identified the photograph of
Selin HU be It as that of the man who threw
the homo. Interest was depicted on the
face of each listener. The Judge, Jury,
counsel, prisoners and auditors leaned
over in breathless anticipation, and lis
tened to each word that fell from the lips
of toe heretofore ludicrous witness aud
when he said Spies xvas the man who
lighted the fuse the ne st lutense excite
ment prevailed in the court room. Every
eye waa directed at the
accused man, whose face paled
when he regained his s- lf-possesston par
tially and pulled nervously at his mows,
uii:he, and, leaning over toward Mr. Fos
ter, broke into an incredulous laugh. For
one instant a death-likc silence reigned
and then tlm buzz o! many hushed
wnlapers filled the air, which once more
rnerg. and into perfect silence as the witness
pointed to Fischer as one of the men in
the alley, it was Fischer's turn to pale
and tremble, though the expression on
tils face was one ot blank surprise and
astonishment,
Mr. Foster asked tho witness: "Mr.
Gnnnoll, you say, is the first tnan you
ev, r told that you krn w tne mini or could
identify him ns the man who lighted the
fuse and threw tne bomb?”
“1 think 1 had some conversation about
it with Lieut. Ripley and others in uu
thoriiy at the Central eiHtion.”
••Now, then, did you givo Inspector
lion lie Id a description of the tnan who
threw the bomb?”
“Yes.”
THE DESCRIPTION.
“ What was it?”
“1 said lie was a tall, heavy set man,
with a broad face, and light sandy hair 1
and bins eyes.”
“And that you noticed him down in the
ull“> ?”
“He stood between me and the lamp.”
“Which way was h facing?”
“Nomulimes he was facing me; somo
times the other way.”
“And you. in the alley, saw that ho had i
high cheek bones?”
"1 saw him before.”
“Where?”
“At meetings in Market square!”
“And at tlie time the bomb was lighted I
he was down in the alley and took two or j
three steps toward tue police, did ho?”
“He did.”
“'V Idol) way did you go?”
“In a westerly direction.”
“I>ul you see the bomb lighted?”
“1 saw th* smoke curling uu.”
WHERE SPIES WAS.
“Where wan Spies then!’’
“In the alley.'’
“And you noticed hi* high cheek
bonus?”
“Well, Isaw him before.”
“Where?”
“At meetings, but 1 didn’t know his
name.”
“How, then, did you know it was
Spies?”
“I learned it from the paper*.”
“Who was at the station the lirst time
you wont there?”
“Lieut. Shea, Kipley and, 1 think. In
spector lSonfield.”
"How did you como to go there?”
“1 told you 1 received word at tny
boarding house,”
“And that was before you told anybody
that you had seeu the man who threw
the bomb?”
"It was.”
UK PROPPED A REMARK.
“Then how did the police come to look
you up?”
“That, was from a remark 1 made.”
“And on that occasion, two days after
the bomb was throw'll, you said the man
who threw the bomb had high cheek
bones, light sandy hair and blue eyes—in
other words, you described Sohnaubclt to
the police, and didn't you know at that
time that Schnuubelt had been arrested ?”
“1 did not.”
“When did you tell Mr. Grlnnell about
this?”
“1 think be was at the Central station
on or.eol my visits there.”

A\ it li Accjoplins lilooti .Money.
New York, July 28.—There was much
ill-feeling manifested to-day at the head

Assembly 40 of the Knights of Labor,

l’rogressives unfuirly in connection with
tha "Schultz bunching machine,” which
Is supposed to do the work of tour
persons. 'The Internationals refused to
allow the machine to lie used at all in
their shops, aud tho l’rogressives also
went out on a strike when it was lirst in
troduced, but finally accepted it under
instructions from the arbitration com
mittee of District Assembly No. 49. Now
that they have decided to leave tho
Knights of Labor, they say
that tboy will “expose everything,”
and one of the tlireo first mentioned
added: “The terms of settlement effected
by the arbitration committee were that
tho Progressives should go back to work
and tho Local Assembly was to receive $25
u year for each bunching machine iu use
in Now York, or about $30,000 in three
years. We protested agaiust this, but it
was useless. Nearly 500 people lost their
work, and the District Assembly was
paid blood money for doing it.”
Lawyer Martin, who represents Mr.
Schultz, at first denied that any such
arrangement had been made with the
Knights of Labor, but finally admitted
that a contract of some sort bad been
made with the arbitration committee per
mitting tho use of bis “bunohiug ma
