Washington, July 23.—Morrison, from
the committee on rules, reported a resolu
tion ordering a session for to-morrow
night for the consideration of public build
ing bills.
McMillan and Warner, of Ohio, opposed
the resolution, thinking it of doubtful pro
priety for the house to order a session for
the passage of public building billswhen
the land grant forfeiture bills could not
obtain consideration.
Morrison suggested that when a member
wanted to get away from any particular
measure he ran behind the forfeiture bills.
The committee on public lands at the be
ginning of the session had desired to have
the rules iixed in a certain manner in or
der that it may have the right-of-way.
This was done, but not satisfied, the com
mittee had in season and out of season de
manded another change in the rules. This
change had been made, and the committee
bad been out of season ever since. [Laugh

Kenna remarked that as far as he know
no one had supposed or Intimated that
there was any criminality in (lie senator's
action. To he equally frank, however, he
would state that it struck him and those
who lmd tnkcn any interest in the matter
that the case presented a ques
tion of much interest, in view
of the wholesale and Indiscriminate
attacks of the senator from New Hamp
shire upon the president in connection
with his pension vetoes. It was perhaps
somewhat remarkable tliat a widow who
had lost her only son in the army and
whose husband was demented should have
an attachment laid upon her little farm
for such services rendered to her. That
was regarded as a matter of some interest.
Blair’s motion to refer was agreed to.
Vest, In presenting a batch of petitions,
got up by the Knights of Labor, remarked
that the signatures all appeared to be in
the same hand writing and that he pre
sumed (front the explanation of Van Wyck
a few days ago), that these were copies.
Hoar remarked that the rules of the sen
ate prevented the presentation of any peti
tions except originals.
The chair sustained the point made by
Hoar, but said he did not f»el at liberty to
reproach the senators for presenting such
petitions, although in doing so they were
violating the rules.
Vest said he did not propose to violate

Hearts closed the debate in a long argu
ment against a further investigation.
The senate, at 4 o’clock, proceeded to
take votes. The first vote was or. the res
slowly to set aside all revenue measures in i olution of Hoar and Frye (for a further in-

reading of its title was greeted with ap

In answer to a question asked by
Browne, of Indiana, Hatch stated that,
though the bill had been reported back
with the recommendation that the senate
amendments be non-concurred in, in view
of telegrams and letters which had been
rec.iied by the committee during the past
24 hours, lie had been instructed to concur
in all the amendments.
Dunham, of Illinois, was accorded ten
minutes in which to oppose the bill, and
he intimated that the votes hi favor of the
measure would be east in order that the
members might secure votes in the coming
election.

Immediately the republicans resorted to
filibustering tactics.
Payne, of New York, interjected a mo
tion to adjourn and a motion to adjourn
until Monday.
On the latter motion the republicans re
frained from voting, leaving the house
without a quorum.
Turner seeing that it was impossible for
him to secure a quorum of democratic
members to-day yielded to the inevitable,
and withdrew his motion for the present.
Willis, of Kentucky, from the confer
ence committee on tile river and harbor
bill, reported adisngrec-me.it. Willis desired
to test the sense of the house upon essen

the senate, but pending a resolution to
this effect a further conference was order

In the course of Goff’s remarks he re

No action on this measure was taken,
but half a dozen other pension bills, among
them the senate bill granting a pension ot
$100 a month to the widow of Gelt. Stan-

The house ut 10:45 p. m. adjourned.
Washington, July 23.—Senator Blair
made a long and personal explanation in
regard to tile newspaper eluvgcs that some
senator had charged a widow 8200 for get

ment.
Blair said he had no reason to suppose

Chioaoo, July 23.—Every seat in Judge
Gari’s court room was occupied this morn
ing when F. Hein, the first witness in the
anarchist trial, was called to the stand.
Witness said he was a saloon keeper and
that Neeb was in his place of business, .354
South Clark street, on May 3d, and showed
him a poster whicli witness identified. It
was in the evening when Neeb called. Sev
eral men were in the saloon.
Neeb left copies of the circular on
a tabic. He spoke about the
McCormick riot. Neeb addressed those in
the saloon in a general way, and said that
six or seven men had been killed at Mc
Cormick’s. “Blood had flowed,” Neeb
said, and he added “there will come a
time, perhaps, when everything will go
the other way.” The revenge circular was
offered in evidence lay the state, and the
witness turned over to counsel for the de
fense, who refused to cross-examine him.
Prof. Olsln, occupying the Greek chair
at the Chicago university, and also a Ger
man scholar, has made a translation of
Herr Most’s book, “Science of Revolution
ary Warfare.” He said the translation
which Grinnell offered in evidence was
exact and faithful in every detail. Another
translation from an article appearing in t he
Arbeitrr Zeitung under the date of Feb-
ruary 25th, 1886J and captioned “The In
ternal Association of Workmen,” and giv
ing the platform of the organization, was
also offered by the state.
C'ousel for the defense precipitated a dis
cussion as tu whether or not the testimony
about to be introduced was relevant.
The court held it was, as going to prove
the defendants were engaged in dissemi
nating treasonable literature.
At this juncture a yonng lady wearing a
fashionable hat, a showy gilt chain about
the neck, a drees of light brown stuff,
rose from a chair in the back
part of the court room and presented
to each of the eight defendants a huge
bouquet. Fifteen minutes prior the de
fendants were given flowers by some ladies
who entile into court with Mrs. Black.
Gustav Lehman, one of the conspirators,
was called.
“How long have you lived in this coun
try'.'”
“Four years.”
“Did you attend the meeting at Grief’s
hall on May 3d?”
‘•Yes; I was on my way to Zeph’s hull to
attend a carpenter’s meeting. I met some
men. They told me to come to No. 54
west Lake street, and attend a meeting.
They showed me an advertisement in the
Arbeiter Zeitung, saying we should come
there.”
“Who do you mean by we?”
“The armed section.”
“Who was in the chair?”
“A man named Hermann.”
“What happened?!’
“Some one moved that a man be posted
at the door.”
“Why?”
“That no one should listen in any of the
closets. No one was wanted to remain on
the sidewalk or steps.”
“How long did you stay there?”
“Remaps an hour.”
“Was the meeting in the basement?”
“Yes.”
“What did you hear?”
“I only heard a large man with a blonde
mustache say he would lake it upon him
self to distribute hand bills.”
“Who is this man?”
“I was told afterward his name was
Fischer.”
“Who was there that you know?”
“Seliger, Thiel, myself and brother,
Fivcher, Briederfeldt and Hermann. That
is about all I remember.”
“Do you know Engel?”
“Not personally; I saw him once at
Grief’s hull.
“Would you know him now?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you know Lengg?”
“How long?”
“Six months.”
“Was Lengg at the meeting?”
“1 etiunot say that he was in I he base-
men'. Wo went home together. We had
a little quarrel.”
“What about?”
“Some body come up to me on the side
walk and said ‘you are ail oxens and
brutes.’ Then we bad a quarrel - Lengg
said this, then I asked him why he said it.
and lie said ‘if you want to lie, j- some! hing
come to-morrow night at Neff’s hill!.’”
“Well, did you do so.”
“The next, afternoon I went to Leiigg’s.
I met a friend of mine who prevailed cm
me to go. Seliger was there; so was lluil-
ner.”
“How long did you stay?”
“About half .ill hour."
“What were the people doing there?”
“'Writing in the rooms. They had
cloths tied about 1 heir faces. '
“What did you go t-u.-iv for?”
“My friend wanted to buy a revolver.”
“Then vvn ire did you go?”

Montgomery, Ala., July 23—General
J. H. Lane, occupying the chair of profes
sor of civil engineering and drawing at the
Agricultural and Mechanical College and
Auburn Polyteenic Institute, at Auburn,
one of the greatest scholars in the south, is
strongly urged and deservedly highly rec
ommended by numerous friends to accept
the vacant chair of mathematics in the
University of Mississippi, a position he is
highly qualified for. Alabama, however,
would regret to lose him.
AN IMPORTANT RUMOR.
It is rumored in railroad circles that the
Erlanger system is growing weary of their
Cincinnati southern lease and arc prepar
ing to sell out. The two corporations
mostly interested in the purchase of tiiis
lease are the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia system and the Huntington or
Southern Pacific system. Tiie Cincinnati
South.Tii railway would form an impor
tant factor itt either of these systems, and
the question is, which will get it? The
purchase by either would make a great
change in the traffic business of the roads
south of the Ohio river.

Paso, Texas, says • Editor Cutting is still in
j-iil at Paso Del Norte, Mexico, just across
the river, lie was taken out of jail Wed
nesday night and led before a judge,
who stated that an order had been re
ceived from the supreme court of Chehiui-
hua to admit Cutting to bail. Cutting
sent for Consul Brigham and told tilt-
judge he was in the hands of his gov
ernment, which had demanded his
unconditional release, and that he would
ignore the Chihuahua court. He was then
remanded to Jail, but was again brought
yesterday and questioned. Consul Brig
ham advised him not to answer. Consid
erable excitement exists in Paso Del Norte.
Quite a large body of Mexican troops have
been quartered there within the last forty-
eight hours. The object of this move is
not known.

Columbia, S. C., July 23.—Benjamin
Alston, a prominent planter of Georgetown
county, writes to the Georgetown En
quirer, giving a doleful account of the con
dition of things. He says: ”1 look over
the prospect and behold one dull, dirty,
yellow mass of water. No sign of life pre
sents itself except t in fast running current
and tiie birds of prey that soar
over head. Men have been to
me asking for work and saving
they hud eaten the last food' in their
houses.” Thousands are in the same con
dition where he is and elsewhere in the |
county. The disastrous result of last year’s I
cropping caused many to begin this year |
in debt, and they arc stopped from what !
they might otherwise do. Alston thinks j
his people are on tiie Drink of famine, and
suggests convening the legislature for re

FACTS FROM FOREIGN SHORES.
any other crime with which lie was
charged. It was well to abandon that
principle, and it was only by its abandon
ment that the negotiation of this conven
tion became possible.
The extension of the list of offenses for
which extradition may be demanded is
considerable, though It docs not go far
j enough. By the treaty of 1842 murder,
! murderous assuult, piracy, arson, robbery
and forgery were made extraditable of
fenses. The new convention adds to these
1 manslaughter, burglary, embezzlement,
' larceny of the value of fifty dollars, and
; “ malicious injuries to property whereby
' tiie life of any person shall be en-
I dangerod, if such injuries constitute a crime
j according to the laws of both thehigh con
tracting parties.” There is a very great
| gain for us in this enlargement of the list.
Indeed, it would have been worth while to
negotiate a new treaty merely to provide
that embezzlement should be considered
an extraditable crime. The ratification of
this treaty and the surrender of a few fugi
tive bank officers under its provisions will
deprive the Dominion of Canada of much
of its attractiveness for that class of offend
ers, and will tend to make gross breaches
of trust less frequent because more certain
ly punishable.
The provision relating to malicious in
juries to property is obviously drawn with
a view to the inclusion of what arc known

New York, July 23.- Wry little news
was afloat o,i Wall street to-day. and that
little related to damage to Props in the
west. Grangers were sold very freely.
The market was weak at tin- ooening, tir-t
prices showing a <h cline of i to '. 'Tin-
only exceptions wi re tin- Louisville anil
Nashville, which was up .-. and Dmalm
Fur! her !': actional itccli.a-s Mifi-cmadi in

rally was rc-estalcNhi d b'-fure
noun, after whit-it time the market con
tinued (lull andlistlcss without apparent
movement in prices until tin- close vliicii
was dull ami steady. The net result of'
everything on the active list of iVjuj-
as dynamite outrages among the crimes
which shall be without the right of asy
lum. Theoretically this provision applies
clearly enough to the case of a dynamite
Irishman who, after blowingupthe houses
of parliament, should seek refuge in this
country. Practically it is worthless. At
no time since Irishmen began to employ
the resources of civilization against Eng
lish life nnd property has a case
arisen under which Great Britain could
have made a demand for extradition under
such an agreement. What Irishman has
ever fled to this country against whom she
could have clearly proven such "injury to
property” as is covered by the new con
vention? Tiie approach of the time when
Ireland’s wrongs will he redressed through
a more humane and constitutional kind of
agitation diminishes the probability that
any occasion fora resort to this part of
the new convention will ever arise. We
hope there will be no more dynamite out
rages either in England or here. But it
may be well to point out the fallacy of
attempting to deal with this new crime
under the old forms of extradition.
The guiding principle must be that the
dynamite flendlis to be caught where he
can be found; and for the purpose of root
ing out the crime the abettor must lie held
to lie as had as the fiend. Under the
Phelps-Rosebery convention the uttemi>t
is made to provide for catching only those
dynamiters who it is perfectly certain
never would be caught.
Having no desire to retain confessed and
outspoken dynamiters in this country on
account of their hull it of voting for Mr.
Blaine, the Times is of the opinion that if
both nations held the dynamite crime to
lie infamous, and were moved by a com
mon desire to prevent it altogether, they
might in full accordance with internation
al precedent and practice agree to surren
der on demand criminals of this class con
spiring or plotting in either country against
the other when not clearly and certainly
punishable under the local laws. This de
scription covers the case of Patrick Ford
and of others who, like him, have raised
money in this country to be expended in
infamous crimes in England. It is to he un
derstood, of course, that in respect to dyn-
j amite outrages, ns in respect to all other
' crimes, the proof must he prima
fill ie convincing. This principle would he
new to our extradition practice, but not
new to tiie legislative practice of either
country. It would be a principle altogether
wholesome, in nowise open to tiie objec
tion lint it trenched upon the right of po
litical asvlum, since dynamiters are not
political offenders, and its introduction
into our extradition treaty with Great
Britain would be tile only rational and
effective method oT dealing with the crime.
For that reason the proposition incurs the
| violent opposition of dynamiters and Blaine
| newspapers.
