committee on pensions, reported back the
vetoed senate bill granting a pension t,o
.Mrs. Annie C. Owen, recommending its
passage, notwithstanding the president’s
objections. Calendar.

hered to the house resolution. Calendar.
Aldrich, from the committee ou pen
sions, reported back two of the vetoed

Baltimore, to be an Indian inspector, after
an hour’s debate, was confirmed by a vote

summarily and unanimously rejected.
His offense was the writing and publica
tion of an obituary of General Grant, in
which the hero was alluded to as a tyrant,
and compared with Julius Caisar.
The remainder of the session was chiefly
spent upon the nominations of three terri
torial judges, one each for Montana, Utah
and Washington territory. The first two
were confirmed. In regard to the last the
question of the president’s right to remove
territorial judges was raised, and the dis
cussion covered in brief the ground winch
was traversed when the Edmunds resolu
tions were before the senate. It resulted
at last in a recommittal of the cuse to the
judiciary committee. ,, , ,
The nomination of B. B. Smalley to be
collector of customs at Burlington, Vt.,
was referred to the commerce committee.
His former nomination, vice V, m. Wells,
suspended, had been adversely reported
and was one of the eases over which a
spirited contest was expected. 1 he presi
dent withdrew this nomination and sent in
the name again “vice William \v ells, re
signed.” , ,
The senate is likely to spend to-morrou
in secret session.

CHICAGO, July 27.—A great deal of testi
mony wns taken in the anarchists’ trial to
day, but it was principally eulminative.
The witnesses were policemen and report
ers, and confirmed tho testimony hereto
fore tnken.
R. M. Thompson (business not given)
was rather an interesting witness. He was
at the Haymarket meeting. Stopping
near the entrance to an alley, a short
distance from tho speaker’s wagon, ho saw
Spies mount the wagon, inquire for Parsons
and descend to the ground. Shortly
after Spies, accompanied by a man who
had been pointed out to him as Schwab,
passed by him into the alley.
Grinnell—Did you hear any words
spoken by either of the men?
Witness—I heard the words “pistols and
police.” Then one man asked the other
would one he enough.
Grinnell—What happened thon?
Witness—The men came out of the alley
and went west on Randolph street. I
knew there was to be speaking, and fol
lowed them to learn where the speaking
would take place. They went west to
Halstead street, and I followed. Near
Halstead they were joined a third man
whom I had not seen before.
Grinnell (handing witness a photograph
of Schnnubel]—Does this resemble the man
who you saw join Spies?
• Witness—Yes, sir.
Grinnell—What happened then?
Witness—The three men started toward
Haymarket. I went along, and once when
quite close to them 1 saw Spies hand the
strange man something which he put in
his right hand coat pocket. A moment
later I passed by them and heard
Schwab say: “Now if they come give it to
them.” Before I was out of hearing 1
heard Spies say, “I don't think we can, for
they won’t give us u chance to-night,.”
Witness then told how he accompanied
the men buck to Haymarket, where by this
time quite a crowd had assembled. Spies
mounted to the speaker’s wagon and wit
ness lost sight of the other two.
