Washixgtos', July 27. "It now seems o be a question of Holman vs. heat," said a jneruber "of the House this evening after adjournment. "If that be the case Holman will, probably win, for if there is one man in the House who is not afiected by the ex treme hot weather it is the gentleman 'from the southeast comer of Indiana. After other men have donned their spring suits Holman still buttons his big overcoat tightly around him. "When the House to-day pre sented the spectacle of a sea of waving fans, Holman looked actually chilly. If the advocates of the "World's Fair appropriation expect to gain the day by Holman's failure to come out a head in a contest with hot weather they will find themselves sadly mistaken. It is a question of endurance between Holman and something, however, and that something is the Senate. The filibustering in the House to-day was led by Outhwaite, the very able young Democrat from the Columbus, Ohio, district. An Exceedingly Able Obstructionist. Holman found himself too weak-voiced and not alert enough for the work in hand. He started out to manage the business of obstruction, but was greatly confused and made several bungling moves before he saw that it would be policy to turn the job over to Outhwaite, who is cool, quick and well informed as to the best thing to do to prevent the doing of anything. -For some reason Outhwaite is exceedingly bitter in his opposition to this appropriation. He seems to be making a personal matter ot it. His speech of yesterday had in it a depth of emotion which was really peculiar. One would have thought the disruption of an '''empirerps atMffie, Outhwaite has taken bis seat for the present beside Holman, and the two ob structors confer together before each motion. The leading lieutenants are Bank head, of Mississippi, Savers of Texas, and Bryan, of Nebraska. It requires little engineering, howeer, after a start is made, to filibuster indefinitely under the rules 'in iorce in this House. The Appropriation HasaMajority. All that was necessary -to-day, after the House had concurred with the Senate amendment, was to make a motion to re consider; then, when the other side moved to table the motion to reconsider, to move to adjourn, then to amend that when the House adjourns it adjourn to a certain day. and any number of amendments of a simi lar character. AH of those have to be voted upon, and, occasionally, for a little variation, the ob structors refrain from voting anil thus break a quorum ard compel a "call of the House," which occupies at least the time required for a roll call, which is not more than half an hour. There is no limit to t"e possibilities of obstruction, excepting under the rnles of the famous Fifty-first and "Reed Congress." ' How long it is all to lat no one can telL The obstructors seem in dead earnest, and Outhwaite and Holman both say they will never give in. Republicans of the Senate show an equally determined front, and they have a vast advantage over the Democrats in not being candidates for popular re election. A Lone; and Bitter Stmcsle, There is little doubt that Holman and I113 upward of a hundred supporters will make a strong fight. Mr. Shively, an Indiana colleague of Mr. Holman, tells me that he has fixed the 10th of August, or thereabout, as the time of probable adjournment, and, as Mr. Shtvelr knows pretty well the tem per and intentions of his colleague it may be assumed that the contest may last as long as that. The prospect is a distressing one to many a member whose fences are in bad repair, and these are threatening to desert from the scene of battle and leave the House without a quorum. This is. one of the hopes of Mr.Holman, that it he cannot hold out to defeat the appropriation by direct filibustering he may worry the members who support it until they will insist upon abandoning the fight. The Senate is ready to adjourn, but the Republican leaders of that body say they will wait patiently till the contest in the House reaches some con clusion. Onciof the prettiest bits of political work of the session owes its authorship to Rep resentative Dalzell. Some time ago Mr. Dalzell introduced a resolution calling upon' the Secretary of the Treasury lor informa tion as to the amount ot taxes received from national banks since their institution and how much from State banks during their existence; what the losses were to deposit ors in State banks from 1850 down, and what the losses have been to depositors in national banks since they were instituted. Afraid ot Diilzell's Resolution. This resolution was referred to the Com mittee on Ways and Means; the members of which evidently saw its point, as they permitted it to sleep. Mr. Dalzell called lils resolution up to-day as a privileged question, and it precipitated a very lively debate, during which Dalzell made a num ber ot the. members of the Committee on "Ways aud Means squirm very uncomfort ably. Notwithstanding his sharp thrusts tbejTwere unable to give any but the most absurd reasons for refusing to report and adopt the resolution, though they are ready OVERCOA on almost any occasion to call upon Repub lican heads of departments for the most elaborate information. They were apparently not slow5 to dis cover that Mr. Dalzell'a resolution was the result ot the apparent desires of the Demo cratic party, as officially expressed in the platform, to abolish national' banks and re turn to the old system of State banks. Mr. Dalzell will probably have his resolution presented in he Senate, though his main purpose was attained to-day when he put the Democrats ou record by a yea and nay vote as being afraid to ask for the informa tion sought by the resolution. Delay In the Homestead It "port. Up to this time the sub-committee of the Committee on Judiciary of the House which investigated the Homestead tragedy had thought that they might possibly make their report to the House at this session. That purpose, if it was ever sincerely en-" tertalned, was finally abandoned to-day. Chairman Oats said that the time was so short and the subject so important that it was inadvisable to make a hurried report such as would be only possible at this session. They might pursue the investiga tion still further. The might ask leave to sit during the recess They had furnished to the representatives ot the Knights of Labor copies of the proceedings and had in vited them to notify the committee if they desired any further hearing. It Was thought they might want to present other testi mony, etc. Another reason which I have from an other source, and that a member of the com mittee, is that the majority of the committee tear tbat the report wnioh tney would con scientiously feel bound to make would be used for campaign purposes, and that it is therefore wise to defer it until after the election. Still another reason which Mr. Oates did not give, but which does more credit to the majority of the committee than the political one, is that it is not advisable to make any report until after the troubles at Homestead are entirely composed. The Procrastination Predicted. Any new literature on ,the subject, no matter what its complexion, of an official character, must add to discussion and dis pute. I may say here that when the com mittee went post haste to Pittsburg it vas predicted that they woul 1 make no repors at this session of Congress unless pushed to do so by a Senate committer which then seemed imminent The Senate Committee still hangs fire. The resolution for its ap pointment has never been reported. The truth is that after the first profound eicitemcn had subsided it was questioned whether the matter was a proper subject for Government investigation, and it is apparent ly concluded that the State of Pennsylvania is able to look after its own affairs. It is well known that Judge Oates never believed the Pinkerton system was a subject for national investigation, and nobody relished the work at Pittsburg less than he. Representative George "W. Shonk, of the Luzerne county district, is a lucky and yet an unlucky good fellow. He was elected to Congress over John B. Reynolds by a very slender maioritv. and 'Reynolds promntlv became one of the three Democrats contest ing seats of Republicans in Pennsylvania. "When Colonel Andy Stewart was "so ruth lessly bowled out of his eeat Shonk felt ex ceedingly uneasy. Unstained by the Committer. "Being, a good lawyer himself, however, he, with other good counsel, prepared bis case admirably, and to the surprise of every body the seat of Reynolds fell to the ground and the committee with its Democratic ma jority voted unanimously that Shonk should retain his seat. That was all very well, but it did not suit him. A report had to be made, and then the Home had to ratify the report to make -Mr. Shonk's seat goodsThe committee took final action two monthssgd.v Representative Moore, of Texas, was se lected to write the report. Moore has had trouble in his district over his leno'mina-' tion. and has never fouud time to write the report. It is too late fo bring up the matter this session and so Mr. S .(ink will worry through the recess at Saratoga and the sea shore, uncertain whether he is, or has been a member of the Fifty-second Congress or not With the Naves-Rockwell New Yorfc case before his eyes he knows that it is not alwavs safe to count on the Houses obeying the dictum of the Committee on Elections. Noyes, the Republican contestant, had the vote ot every member out two ot the com mittee. The House agreed with the two and snubbed the remainder of the committee, including Chairman O'Ferrail. It is reasonably certain, how ever, that Shonk will get a decision in his favor. Of course, hehas all this time been performing all the duties of a Congressman. The other Pennsylvania contest, Greevy vs Scul1, in the Somerset district, is at the end of the lis' of six contests, and will not be reached before the closing days of the short session if it be reached at all.

The result of the survey for the Hawaiian cable, ns shown by a report sent to the Senate to-day by Secretary Tracy, prepared by the hydographcr, indicates that a practicable ronte can be etcily selected. - The work, the report states, was prose cuted with all the care and accuracy that the means for modern deep sea research afford, and it is believed that the knowledge obtained establishes the fact that the laying ot a cable on almost any line between California and the Hawaiian Islands is practicable. The most favorable route, however, the report states, will be between Monterey Bay and Honolulu. A DARK AND BLOODY GROUND. The Latest and Most Terrible or a Remark able Series or Murders. Bristol, Tenx., July 27. A number of murders have recently' been committed in the mountainous regions of "Virginia and Kentucky, south of Bristol. The- latest is the result of a regular pitched battle be tween a" moonshiner, H. C. Johnson, and two blockaders, E. P. and John Cox, which took place at Point Truth, 35 miles from here, just across the mountains irom Gate Citv, in Scott county, where so man v crimes have been committed. The two Cox boys went to Johnson's dis tillery to get blockade liquor, and while there all three of them got beastly drunk. A trivial quarrel led to a fight. Both the Cox's attacked Johnson, but he vanquished them. E. P. Cox received a bullet in the shoulder and one in the breast John was shot imthe mouth, the ball lodging in his neck, F The Story of the Eruption on Great Sangier Island Graphically Told. VAST VOLUMES. OF LAVA Stream Down .the Mountain Side, Bnryimj Thousands of People. NATIVES CAUGHT IN BICE FIELDS. Famine Now Threatens, as All the Crops Were Also Destroyed. NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS Amsterdam, July 27. The JTanddsMad, of this city, publishes letters from Celebes, giving details of the recent eruption of the volcano Gunona, on Great Sangier Island. The eruption commenced at 6 P. M., on a day early in June, and was unheralded by the slightest seismic disturbance. Immense volumes of flames and smoke and masses of stones suddenly burst from the volcano. The stones fell all over the island, killing hundreds of natives, who were busy in the fields getting in the rice crop. Those who succeeded in reaching the supposed shelter of their homes found no refuge, many houses having been crushed beneath tlio weight of the falling stones, and roofs hav ing collapsed under the weight of ashes, burying the inmates, in many instances whole families. The volumes of lava fell with fearful rapidity down the slopes of the burning mountain, upon which there was situated nnmerous farms and villages. Houses and fugitives alike were overwhelmed by these rivers of molten rock. It is estimated thatoverl,000 persons per ished on the slopes of the mountain and many hundreds in the lowlands, but the ex act loss of life is not yet known. A week after the eruption had abated the inhabi-' tants were still in a state of terror, and would not approach the scene of the dis aster. The island Is now threatened with famine, all the crops'having been destroyed. Cocoa trees are still standing, but their leaves and fruit have been destroyed and their stems left bare. In many parts of the island wells have become dry. The Dutch authorities are doing the best they can to alleviate the distress of the people. A Government steamer has been placed at the disposal of the Local Con troller to distribute relief rice, and many doctors have been sent tp the island. The inhabitants, though nearly demented with terror, are docile and the authorities have jnet with no disorder. NORWAY BACKS DOWN.

ANOTHER BROKEN RECORD. Tho Citr or Farts Crosses the Atlantic In the Shortest Tims She Beats the Tentonic Over the Pond by Nearly an Hour. New Yoke, July 27. Special, The Ionian line steamship City of Paris may soon fulfill the prophecy of her commander. Captain Frederick Watkins, that she will make the run from Queenstown in five and one-half days. The log of the re markable trip she completed off Sandy Hook at two minutes past 1 o'clock this morning shows that Captain "Watkins rather underestimated the great ship's possibilities. She created the new record of 5 days, 13 hours and G8 minutes from Queenstown and also beat the best sin gle dav's run of the Teutonic, 517 knots, by three knots. , On every one of the four full nantlcal days, from noon to noon,' she was at sea she made over 500 knots. Her average dally runs lortlie lour days was Oil knots, and her best' hourly average for one day was 21.02 knots, which has never been equaled by any other steamship. Maintaining her speed of 520 knots a day she would be able to cover the course of 2,778 knots, over which the Teu tonic made her record of 5 days, 1G hours and 31 minutes, in less than 5 days and 9 hours. The average hourly speed of the City of Paris was 20.48 knots. The best average hourly performance of the other 20-knot grayhounds are as follows: Majestic, White Star, 20.41; Tentonic, "White Star, 20.34; Puerst Bismarck, Hamburg American,20.07; City of New York, Inmau, 20.08. The course covered by the City of Paris this trip was seven knots (or about 20 min utes) longer than that covered by the Teu tonic on her fastest voyage. Thus the Citv of Paris has practically beaten the Teutonfc by 53, instead of 33 minutes. A TENNESSEE FORTRESS. Tho Murderer of a Federal Officer and 30 Men Terrorize a Community. Nashville, July 27. Deputy Revenue Agent J. T. Spurrier returned to-day from Double Springs, Putnam' county. Mr. Spurrier said before leaving that section be learned that Frank Sloan, who killed United States Storekeeper and Ganger Bellinger, was fortified in his house, together with 20 or 25 men, all armed.

I4ttlo Willie Slebnrt Dies of Alcoholic Polgonlnc He Took a Fatal Draught Oat or a Bottle He Fonnd on Bis Bed room Mantel, i Little "Willie Siebart died at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the effects of an over dose of brandy. He was only 5 years old. He had never been sick a day in his life, and was one ot the most promis ing children in th? neighborhood of No. 3 Dinwiddie street.pfhere his parents live. William Sfebaft,1 the father of the dead child, works for "William P. Scaife & Co. "When he left home at 0:30 o'clock yester day morning his son and namesake was sleeping peacefully in his cot When the father returned last evening the boy was dead. The grief of the parents was pathetic. The calamity which had befallen their little home was fully realized, and the over flowing sympathy of the neighbors could not allay the manifestations of sorrow which filled the stric';en home. Mr. Sibeart last night gave the follow ing account of the case when The Dis patch representative called: "My wife had been ill during the night," he began, "and I gave her several drinks from a halt pint flask of brandy that had been in the house for several weeks. This morn- ing after I had gone to work mv wife, came down stairs. The half-pint flask containing considerable brandy was standing on the mantle.' About 7 o'clock this morning Willie came down stairs. Contrary to his usual custom he had not dressed, but carried his clothes un der his arm. Mv wife noticed that he was ghastly pale, and said: 'Why, "Willie, what is the matter with you?j 'Oh, I was not feeling well, and took a little drink of whisky,' the child replied. "My wife flew up stairs, examined the bottle, and found the boy had drunk con siderable of the brandy. She rushed down and the sight of the child lying uncon scious greeted her. A messen ger brought Dr. Gabriel within ten minutes. This was about 7 o'clock, or prob ably a little later. The doctor was told the circumstances in the case. He went to work and applied every remedy which he said was known to the medical fraternity to bring the child back to consciousness, but they all failed. He stayed and labored with the child until 2 o'clock In the afternoon when death bereft us of our second oil i Id. Dr. Gabriel pro nounced jt a case of alcoholic poisoning. He said that owin.; to the fact that the child's stomach was empty the effects or the brandy were " much more powerful than they would have been had he eaten anything before. The boy would bae been 5 veats of aze next month, and when he took the brandy he was possibly imitating his mother, who is delicate, and occasionally uses it for medi cinal purposes."

" Memphis, Jhlrt27.'-i:The ninth day's pro ceedings in the Alice Mitchell insanity in quiry found the' case for the defense closed. The State opened by the introduction of Mrs. "W. H. "Volkmar, sister of Freda "Ward. After preliminary testimony concerning the action of Misses Mitchell and Johnson during their last visit to Gold Dust, witness told of the discovery of Freda's plan to leave home and join Alice in Memphis. Ashley Roselle said he had met Alice Mitchell several times. He had corre sponded withFreda aud Alice. He received the last letter from Alice a few days before the killing. Miss Mitchell, the defendant, was next placed on the stand. She answered all questions coolly and rationally. She said she had known Freda ever since she could remember. She told of her following Freda and of the latter winking at her with her right eye, which signified, "I love you." When she came to following Freda down the hill, saying she wanted to see her once more, she burst into tears. Then followed a most remarkable scene. This young girl, without displaying the slightest nervous ness, told down to tne smallest detail the story of how and why she murdered Freda Ward. She said: I tootc the razor out while going down tne hill toward the boat. When I reached Freda I cat her with the razor. As I cut her throat she tried to say something. I In tended to cue Freda's throat nnd then mine, but Iter sister Jo made mo mad by striking mo with an umbrella; so, after slashing at Jo, I followed Freda and cut her again. All I wanted to do was to cut her so as to kill. I loved her better than anyone in the world. She expressed a desire to die now that Freda was no more. After this no new features were developed. General Peters then stated that the State had nothing fur ther to offer. General Wright said the de fense was willing to submit the case with out argument. Judge Dubose continued the case until Friday, when he will charge the jury. GOULD'S LINES MAY BE TIED UP. Unless Grievances Are Settled a Missouri Pacific Strike Mny Occur. St. Louis, July 27.

TELKQUAU TO TIIK PtSrATCtt.l Philadelphia, July 27. Frank Mol lick, the Long .Branch baker who is accused of being an accessory before and after the fact'of the shooting ot Mr. 1L C Frick,was brought to this city to-night by Superin tendent O'Mara, of the Pittsburg police. Chief O'Mara got oft" the train with his prisoner at Mcrchantville and drove to Philadelphia, avoiding those who awaited him at' the Camden depot. Mollick was taken direct to police headquarters, where Inspector Miller received him in his cus tody until to-morrow evening, when O'Mara will take him to Pittsburg. Mollick passed a bad night in his cell in the Long Branch jail. He was pale and worn when The Dispatch correspondent saw him this morning. His wife reached Long Branch about 11 o'clock. She at once asked to see Mollick. A German-speaking policeman was placed in an adjoining cell and listened to the conversation between Mollick and the woman. She first told him of the death of the wife of Dr. Hoffman. Then she rehearsed a part of the story already told'by Mollick and denied by Dr. Hoffman, that the latter had attended her during an alleged illness. The Arrival or O'Marn. Further conversation Was interrupted by Chief O'Mara, who came down from New York with Detective Sergeants Mulry and Mulvey, of the New York police. Chief O'Mara sent the woman ; iuto an ttdjoining room aud went into Mollick'scell. He asked Mollick if he'.was willing to go to Pennsylva nia without extradition papers. Mollick re plied that he wanted to do whatever would hurry his trial. O'Mara said that refusing to go would meaii two and possibly more days' waiting for 'extradition papers. "What am I accused of?"akea'-MolHck, O'Mara produced a warrant sworn to by In spector McKelvey. It charged" Mollick with aiding and abetting' the assailant of Frick by lending him money and otherwise encouraging him.. The warrant had reached O'Mara as. he was on his way to the Long Branch train in New York. "Can I have a lawyer in Pennsylvania?" asked Mollick. "Certainly," said Sergeant Mulvey. "Then I'll go," said Mollick. Chief O'Mara at once drew up this pa per: No Extradition Papers Needed. (Long Biuacn, July 27. I do hereby waive all my right to extradition proceedings, and of my own free will declare I am leady to accompany the proper officials without ob jection or protest on my part to the State of Pennsylvania. This was read to Mollick and without a moment's hesitation, he signed it. While Mollick was signing the paper TnE Dis PATcn reporter saw Mrs. Mollick, or the woman assuming the name. She said she was 29 years old, was born in "Vienna and came to this country three years ago. Her maiden name was Josephine Pollak. Seven years' ago she married Augnst Kertscfaall in Vienna. She set tled in New Bedford, Mass., with him when they came to America about 11 or 12 years ago. Emma Goldman went to New London and addressed an anarchistic meet ing. Mrs. Kertschall heard her speak and liked her. They met, und after a long cor respondence between them Mrs. Kertschall came to New York with her husband. This was one year ago. While living there Mrs. Kertschall quarreled with her husband and left him. She resumed her maiden name of Pollak. ' "Are you aud Mollick married?" she was asked. "No," she said, and not the slightest flush dyed her sallow face. Emma Goldman Wroto to Plttibnrg. "Did the Goldman girl ever go to see you?" was asked. "Oh, yes," said Mrs. KertschalL "Al most every time there was a meeting at Paul Wilzig's, Goldman and Berkman would come to my house and talk things over." "Did Goldman write to Berkman while he was at Pittsburg?" Mrs. Kert schall hesitated and finally said "Yes." When asked when she wrote to him last Mrs. Kertschall said that Emma Goldman wrote to him about four weeks ago, telling him where Mollick was. "Did Berkman write to Goldman," was asked. - "Oh, yes," said Mrs. Kertschall. "And did Goldman write to Mollick?" "Yes," was the answer. Four weeks ago, or about the time the Goldman woman wrote to Berkman, Mol lick went to New York irom Long Branch and Drought two bakers back,with him. About two weeks aero he went to New York a second time. The ostensible reason hen gave was that his wife was ill. The Gold man telegram sent to him in July and tell ing him to come to NewYork"was sent about the time Goldman got the letter from Berkman, which, according to Mrs. Kert schall, she answered by giving Mollick'? address. On Mollick's second visit the Kertschall woman tfas not ill. Mrs. Kert-. schall admitted yesterday that Mollick hail lbng talks with the Goldman woman on both his visits. Allot Them Good Anarchists. "Is Goldman an Anarchist?" ''Yes a good one." "Is Berkman an Anarchist?" "Yes, a good one." "Is Mollick an Anarchist?" "Yes," she said, "lie is a good one." "Where do the Anarchists meet in New York?" was asked. "At Wilzig's,'" she said, "but all' An archists are not alike. Some are no good. They are afraid. Now, Goldman, Berkman and Mollick are good ouea-" After Mollick had signed the waiver of 4 extradition papers. Sergeants Mulry and Mulvey started to New York to look up the Goldman woman, and to have several letters belonging to Mollick left in Sergeant Man gin's possession translated from German to English.

Chief Layton and Superintendent O'Mara went into Mollick's cell and asked him if he would go. "Yes," said Mollick, "I only want to see my wife." It was then 4:07. The train left at 4:20. Chief O'Mara hurried Mollick out through the crowd, put him in a carriage beside Chief Layton and amid the cries of "Mrs. Kertschill, the storming of a young lawyer and the murmurs of the crowd, he was driven away. Chief O'Mara was about to follow in another carriage when the young lawyer stopped him. This young man's name is Fay. He is zealous, hut is very young. "You have no right to do thin," he yelled. "Do what?" asked Chief O'Mara. "Take Mollick awav.'.' "Who are you?" aske the Chief. "I am his lawyer," yelled Fay. "Who hired vou?" "I cannot tell you," said the counsellor. "Then good-by," said O'Mara, and he drove away. , "You'll suffer for this." howled vomur Mr. Fay at the cloud of dust Only once on the way to this city Mollick seemed vexed; that was when he was told that the newspapers said Mrs. Kertschall was not his wife.

WORSE' THAN BERKMAN. Emma Goldman a Moro Bnbltl Anarchist Than the Man ow In Jail Facts Con- cernlns bo Career of ihe TonaeRni Man In Ills Native Land. New York, July 27. SpectdL A young Russian who went to school with Berkman in Kowno, Russia, told a reporter to-day some things about Henry C Frick's would-be slayer. The reporter's informant seemed to be an intelligent young fellow. "Berkman's father," he said, "was a wealthy merchant. Berkman created a lot of trouble in school. The boy was expelled from the school and his father sent him to the gymnasium. It wasn't long before he professed Nihilist principles. One day a Nihilist newspaper was found in his room. He was forced to leave the gymna sium. His father spent much money bribing the police to prevent his sou's arrest. At that time Berkman was a dare-devil. He didn't seem to be afraid of anything. He stole from the Government printing office type to enable the Nihilists to print their secret circulars. About 5 years ago a St. Petersburg Nihilist named Sacobovich vis ited Kowno. He was arrested. Berkman got afraid at Jlils arrest and came to this country . ' "I camo here from Russia three years ago and met-Berkman. I fonnd that he had changed from a Nihilist to a rabid Anarchist. He told me that Joseph Baron dess had induced him to become an Anarchist. Abont - the time I came here ' Berkman and Emma Goldman became intimate. They were both Anarchists of the ame class. One night they and a friend of Berkman met at an Anarchist meeting at SG Orchard street. They were then strangers, Berk man's friend introduced Emma Goldman to him. It is not true tbat thev were ac quainted with each other in Russia. "I knew Emma Goldman well. She is a more rabid Anarchist than even Berkman. The last time I saw Berkman was in De cember. He and Emma Goldman were together. I have been told that Berkman was despondent because he was without money. He was in hard luck and I knew he entertained the idea of taking his own life. The Anarchist prin ciple is that an Anarchist who wants to commit suicide must first do something against capital." MR. FRICK MENDING RAPIDLY. i He Ate Three Hearty Aleals Triterday and Bested '-Veil. H. C. Frick is rapidly working 4his way toward the regaining of his health. Dr. Litchfield said last night: "I am greatly pleased with my patient's condition. He ate three hearty meals yesterday and passed a good night Tuesday. His food seemed to do him much good. Another favorable sign is that the natural tem perature and respiration has returned. All these symptoms are indicative of a speedy recovery. CHAUHCEY DEPEW AH EMISSARY.

HUSTLINGFOBAMECHISTS Police Scouring Both Cifles for the Man in the Bine Suit. 50 L0KGER "ANY DOUBT OF A PLOT. Allegheny Officers Hot on the Socialists. the TraU of IMPORTAHT AKEESTS AEK EIPECTED Two more Anarchist suspects were ar rested yesterday. The police are still watching for more, and a number of arrests will be made within a few days. The police say there is no doubt of a plot and declare the Anarchists held a meeting in Allegheny after the arrival of Berkman at which the assassination of H. C. Frick was discussed. They do not' believe there is any doubt that there are a number of people who were directly connected with the murderous attempt. This makes a total of eight Anarchists arrested so far for the attempted assassina tion. Berkman, the assassin, is still in jail and Carl Knold and Henry Bauer are in Central station. Paul Eckert was re leased, Simmenns gave 5500 ball for a hear ing Tuesday before Alderman Beinhauer on the Southside, and Mollick, the Long Branch suspect, will be here to-day with Roger O'Mara. The names of the two latest are Paul Finster and August Pirnack. The former is a tinner and the latter is a baker. Nothing was found on them to indicate their connection with the crime and their homes have not been searched. The principal effort is now being put forth to locate the man in the blue suit who ac companied Berkman to H. C. Frick's office the day the attack was made upon him. Walked Into the Central Station. These last captures were made by Detec tive McTighe aud Assjftant Superintendent of Police Dan Silvus at Central station. They came there about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and asked to see Henry Bauer, the Anarchist leader arrested on Tifesday. They were told by Sergeant Metz they would have to get a permit from Chief Brown or the Superintendent of Police. Alter that they went out side and held a whispered conversation in German. Then they went to the rear of the station house and tried to look through the windows. Being .unable to see inside they called a boy, George Hoffman, from the Pittsbnrg Shoe Company, across Cherry alley. They questioned him very closely. The As sistant Superintendent and Detective McTighe followed them and asked the boy what the men wjre inquiring about. Hoffman said he did not know at first, bnt when further questioned said the men asked him in what part of the station house Bauer's cell was located. The men had plied him with a number of other questions aud finally asked him the location of cell No. L As this is Bauer's cell the two officers were much surprised that outsiders should know that, and they at once held the suspects. Could Not Leave So Easily. The officers asked- them what they wanted to know the location of Bauer's cell for, and one stammered out that he wanted to pay $1 for his paper. Then they com menced to talk hurriedly and excited in German and commenced to walk away. Just then, though, the officers interfered and the men were locked up. Paul Finster is employed in one of the Spring Garden avenue tanneries, and looks like all the other Anarchists. He is 32 years old, married and lives at 13 Buchanon street, Trov Hill. August Pirnack is a sallow-faced young man of 2G and is single. He lives at 25C Sandusky street, Allegheny. The case was put into the hands of De tective Shore. There is no doubt that they are Anarchists, but it is not known whether they have any connection with Berkman. The Allegheny police who are, under the direction ot Chief Murphy, showing great activity in the Anarchist investigations, are still looking for the mysterious tall man who was seen with Berkman at the Hnssey building immediately before the shooting of Mr. Frick. Yesterday forenoon word was conveyed to Chief Murphy that a work man In the tannery of J." C Lappe & Sons had said to some of his fellow workmen that the police were making monkeys of themselves and that he knew who the man was who was with Berkman last Saturday. In the alternoon Captain Schatzman and Detective Steele visited the tannery and had a long talk with the man in question. The suspect emphat ically denied having made the statements credited to him, and said he was not an An archist and did not know such people. He was left unmolested. Bid Not Care for Anarchists. The officers called at the saloon of Mrs. Joseph Meurer, at No. 49 Spring Garden avenue. It had been reported that on last Fridav evening, the time when Berkman left the house at No. 5 Cherry street and went to the Merchants' Hotel, Bauer had gone to Meurer's place and tried to secure lodgings for "a young friend." Mrs. Meurer and her daughter told the officers that Bauer had tried to get a room for two young men, but that he was refused on the plea that the house was full, because he waj known to be an Anarchist. The young men according to the story told to the police officers, remained outside while Bauer did the talking, and they were not seenby the people In the house. It has been learned that Bauer often ate his meals at the Meurer house and was on very good terms with the landlady and her family. Chief Brown received a telegram fromr Superintendent O'Mara yesterday from New York stating that he had a warrant for Mol lock, the man charged with being accessory before the fact to the attempted murder of Mr. Frick. Mr. O'Mara will see Mollock, and if the latter will come without requisi tion papers he will bring him on. A stop will be made in Philadelphia to learn more ot Berkman. Carl Knold still continues to be the most fruitful source of Information. When angry he gives out bits of information that have been of great nse to the police. Berk man and Bauer are more reticent and not a thing can be learned from them. The Wife Was Not an Anarchist. The houses of Paul Finster and August Pirnack in Allegheny were visited last evening by a reporter tor The Dispatch. The home of Finster is a two-story frame cottage of only four rooms, at No. 13 Bu chanan street, one block west of the Mt.
