Far from reach ing any compromise, far from any suggestion of the end, the tangle over the "World's Fair appropriation in the sundry civil hill is worse than ever, and no one can see the end excepting Senator Allison, who says, frith his uual quiet smile, that the Senate will consider a motion to adjourn whenever the House passes the sundry civil bill. All day to-day the Democrats played the came of breaking a quorum. Upon a call of the House a few more than a quorum could be found, but on every vote it was possible to make the point of "no quorum." Yesterday there were about 230 members to the front; to-day the highest number re sponding was much less than 200. A few Democrats have gone home. Most of the new absentees are in hiding to discover if they will be sent for if the House should get in an angry frame of mind. The Senate also is dwindling away, and the prospects are that to-morrow neither branch of Con gress will be able to transact business ex cept by common consent. A Remarkable State of Affairs. If this be the case, all attempt to legis late will have to be abandoned or those who remain at their posts will be compelled to bring up the absentees with a short turn. It is an anomalous, and perhaps unprece dented state of affairs which could happen in -no other legislative body of the civilized world, and so disgraceful that eren the small fry are growing ashamed of it One who sits, day after day, a spectator of the scenes occurring in the House must find it impossible to believe that aggregation of persons to be a legislative body. The lack of dignity and even of "ordinary good breeding, which characterizes the action of members, suggest a congregation of creatures trained to nothing but boorish ness, wholly irresponsible, having no regard for the wishes of intelligent and orderly constituents, nor for their oaths of office Of course there are individual exceptions, scores of them, but the ruling spirit ii that of disorder and obstruction, the movements of the mob and not of the lawmaker. Tlieir Own Bales Held In Contempt. If ever has there been a Congress which showed such utter lack of conscience, such utter contempt for its own rules. Members absent themselves without a thought of ask ing leave. Leaves are granted contrary to rule when it is evident that a quorum will be broken thereby. Dozens of members have scarely shown themselves during this long session, and yet have drawn their pay, contrary to decency, if not to law. I know of one member in particular, who has not shown his face in "Washington since the first week of the session, and who has drawn his nearly 514 a day with scrupulous regularity every month. He has not been sick for a single day, but has been attending to private business affairs. Both parties have been offenders. He publicans, overwhelmed by the Democratic majority, say there is no necessity for their presence. Democrats, safe in their num bers, say that a hundred or so of them can be spared at once and they will still have a working majority, and so it is that at the close of the session this disorganization reaches its climax in an utter disregard of rule and obligation. Acttn Liko Truant School Boy. Members who know they will not be granted leave of absence if they ask it, ab sent themselves without permission, leav ing no trace of their movements, that the Sergeant at Arms may not find them if he is ordered to do so. It is perfectly appa rent that nothing further of importance cau be done except by common consent or by the calling in of absentees and compelling their attendance .under a threat of a fine for every failure. To trust to "common consent" is rather risky when one member may raise the point at any time that there is no quorum, and then stop the wheels till a quorum cau be assembled. Possibly there may yet be a compromise on the "World's Fair matter, but the prospects this evening are that the Senate will persistently refuse to adjourn until the House agrees to the Senate's Tiew. How long the House can hold out against this proposition is tne query. A few can do the necessary filibustering, while the others go home or elsewhere to rest, and the 107 Democrats who voted against the Fair ap propriation can thus work in relays and have a good share of all the comfort that is going in this piping hot v eather. A OIsis iarat Hand. A climax will be reached to-morrow in that the appropriations of last year will again have to be extended or the sundry civil bill have to be passed. The lime to which the appropriations were extended will expire en Sunday, the 31st. Possibly this exigency may lead to some change in the situation, but the present outlook is that the appropriations of last year will again be extended, and that the disgraceful filibustering will go on. "Whatever may be said of the Alliance or of the People's party, "Tom" Watson, of Georgia, is a plucky lellow. "Uncle Joe" "Wheeler, of Alabama, has been tryiug for two days to cet the floor on a question of personal privilege to attack Watson, but HAN NOTHING was always ruled out because his question was not one of personal privilege. He caught "Watson to-day, however, on a pass age in a People's party handbook just issued by the latter, which passage attacked the character of the House collectively as being a generally scaly and irresponsible body, even describing members drunk and reeling in the aisles, and drunken speakers be coming so muddled that one of them had to stoD his mixed utterances and make the in quiry: "Mr. Speaker, where was I at?" The Defiant Granjrer Statesman. General "Wheeler had a right to defend the character of the House collectively, and he started out to do so but constantly wandered and had to be constantly called to order. "Watson replied by boldly reiterat ing that he stood by every word and sen tence in the book. Of course this raised a great row. Democrats hissed and -shouted angrily, but "Watson, who 1b a little, dried up man, shook his diminutive fist at them and defied them. Objection was made to his language, and it was "taken down," as the saying goes. It was transcribed from the stenographer's notes and read by the clerk. Mr. "Watson was compelled to be seated, and the only way he could continue was by a vote of a majority to permit him to explain. By a large maiority he was permitted to explain, tor the Democrats hat c a wholesome fear' of the People's partv. "Watson's exnlana tton was worse than Lis original words. He floundered about, saying some good things, but at last, exasperated by interruptions and taunts, he ended by reiterating that he stood by every word uttered in his book, and defied the Democrats to do tbeir worst. May lie Censured or Expelled. Again there was a pretty storm, and Boat n er, of Louisiana, came in with a reso lution reciting the occurrence and charges and asked the appointment of a committee of five to investigate the whole matter and report to the House whether the charges are true. If the committee find them untrue there will be nothing to do but to haul Mr. Watson up before the bar of the House and censure him, or by a formal vote to expel him. Mr. Watson told me after the melee was over that he would face the music. He realized that, while everybody knew the persons alluded to were drunk, it would be difficult to prove them drunk on account of a wide diversity of opinion as to when a person under the influence of liquor is' really .drunk. He was willing to accept whatever might come. I give so much of the details in this con nection because this episode of to-day not only shows the bitterness that is now very aggravated, and which is growing more angry every day betn een the Democrats of the South and the People's party, but be cause it may have far-reaching results. Watson is the acknowledged leader of that party in the South, and it has been his de liberate intention during the whole session to provoke the Democrats to every possible expression of hatred for the Third'party. A Third Party Opportunity. He had not hoped, however, for such an opportunity as had been presented to-day. His campaign text book received a tremen dous advertisement: he was hissed down by the Democrats, a breach of decorum which I have never seen equaled even in this, fla grantly indecorous House: he is being in vestigated upon the motion of a Democrat; is in danger ot censure or expulsion at tne hands of a Democratic House, and his book is selling like hot cakes. At the House a bright little son of Jerry Simpson is han dling the book, and he tells me he told 16 volumes within a half an hour after Gen eral Wheeler had read the quotation from it, though it sells at a dollar a volnme in paper covers. "What more cau I ask?" says Mr. Wat son. "This will gain us several Congress men and help us to carry the electoral vote of several Southern States by larger major ities than we would have had otherwise." Prominent Southern Democrats tell'me this evening that they greatly regret the action of the impetuous Wheeler in bring ing Watson and his book to the front and admit that the incident, which will be sown broadcast over the South in the Alliance papers, will have immeasurable influence in favor of the third party. Watson's book is disjointed in construction and reckless in personalities as to the leaders of the old parties, but it is a lively campaign book and is having an immense sale. A Teto Causes Hard Words. Nothing that President Harrison has done since his inauguration has got him such hard words here in Washington as his message sent to the Senate and House this afternoon vetoing the bill providing for the submission of the McGarrahan claim to the Court of Claims foradjudication. McGarra ban's claim had been indorsed by Lincoln and other Presidents, and has occasionally passed one branch of Congress, but a week ago passed both Houses for the first time in all the 35 years it has been pending. It involved no appropriation, but merely its submission to the Court of Claims, and on this account the veto is denounced on all sides as a stab at a poor man, a favorite with all who know him, and whose claim has been pronounced good by the best au thorities who have examined it. The indignation, is not lessened by the knowledge that Mr. D. O. Mills, father-in-law ot Whitelaw Beid, is the chief stock holder of the Hew Idna Mining Company, which is the alleged trespasser on the pre serves of Mr. McGarrahan. Of course, the Democrats wildly charged that the Presi dent vetoed the bill at the instance of the son-in-law of Mr. D. O. Mills, and that in return therefor Mr. Mills will come down handsomely for the campaign fund. Cer tainly it must seem strange that Mr. Har rison could not have permitted the Court of Claims to be the judge in a matter which passed both Houses of Congress. Powderly Upon the Pinkertons. The hurried trip of General Master Workmau Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, to this city to-day to testify before the sub-committee ot the Committee on Judiciary of the House engaged in the in vestigation of the Pinkertons and labor conflicts was really hardly worth the trouble. Nearly all be had to say as to the Pinkertons had already been published in the official organ of the Knights of Labor and had gone to every part ot the country. It consists of a chapter of outrages perpe trated by the Pinkertons, which "Mr. Pow derly thought to be a good answer to the charge of the Pinkertons that, while work ingruen were constantly being convicted of outrages, not one of the Pinkerton men had ever been convicted of a crime. Having this printed statement at their command the committee in a rather per functory wav pieced out the time until Mr. Powderly asked to be excused, as he wished to catch a train for home. Some of Mr. Powderly's answers seemed very amusing to the committee. For instance, "in answer to a question of Eay, of New rork, as to how Mr. Powderly would adjust the differ ences between railroad companies and their employes, Mr. Powderly answered that the Government should own the railroads. Mr. Kay then pictured a vast army of railway employes running elections arid making a favorite administration perpetual, which would control the law-inakiug power. Mr. Powderly said that as to the laws they would have the "referendum," as they have it in Switzerland. "What is that?" asked Chairman Oates. Information Tor the Committee. Mr. Powderly looked rlightly surprised, but explained that in Switzerland ffo act ot Parliament became a Jaw until it was voted upon by the people and that was called the "referendum." It was apparent that not one ot the four lawmakers present knew that the Swiss people vote upon the laws by which they are governed. Mr. Oates looked doubtful when Mr. Powderly said that the referendum would be perfectly practicable in America. It was really amusing to see the interest taken by the members of the sub-committee in the semi-philosophical questions brought up in contrast to the listlessness with which they passed through the Pinkerton phase of the investigation, which had become an old story to them. Mr. Oates baid, to me after the hearing closed that there wonld be no further hearings unless Mr. Powderly, as requested, furnished names of witnesses whom he would like to have examined. As to the report, that would depend on the movements of Congress. If adjournment were delayed for a week he might be able to prepare the report and present it at this session. " LlGHTNnn. TARIFF AND FARMERS. Contradictory Partisan Reports In Congress Democrats Assert That the McKlnley Act Is Detrimental Republicans Have Figurea to Prove the Contrary. Washington, July 29. Eepresentative Hatch, from the Committee on Agriculture, to-day submitted to the House a report pre pared by the committee on the effect of the present tariff law upon agriculture. The report says that careful comparison shows that there has been a steady decline in the prices of farm property and products under the several tariffs in force since the war, while for a corresponding period, and under the same law, other interest! have been more prosperous and remunerative. The report insists that under the low tariff of 1846 agriculture enjoyed its greatest prosperity, and holds that" the more restrictive and piohibitire the trade with other countries has been the worse has agriculture fared. The result of the prohibitive tariff has been to prejudice European nations (our best -buyers) against the United States, and in the retaliation which followed agriculture was dealt an irreparable injury. The American farmer is now compelled to sell his products in direct competition with the pauper and slave labor of Asia and Africa labor which manages to subsist on wages averaging less than 53 per month. The scheme of reci procity is denounced as a flimsy and bold attempt to deceive the farmers. Eepresentative White, ot Iowa, a member of the committee, prepared a paper to ac company the views of the majority. In this report Mr. White savs there is prob ably no class of our citizens who are bo thoroughly handicapped by the protective system in the prosecution of their business as the farmers ot the Mississippi Valley, who are engaged in the raising ot hogs and cattle. Eepresentative Funston, of Kansas, pre sented a report containing the views of the minority ot the committee. This report says the fact that the Democrats in the House, having a majority over the Eepublicans of 153, are able to adjourn without having made any effort to repeal the McKinley Tariff lair, should settle the question as to whether or not, in the opinion of the major ity of the House, the law is wrong and oppressive. The minor ity report recites the benefits of reciprocity and asserts that the state ment that farms have shrunk in value is a matter ot mere assertion, for which there is no data. The minority says it has care fully considered the condition of the farmer under the tariff laws of 1883 and 1890, and finds that in no other age, in no other coun try, and in no other time in this country, has there been a law passed of an economic character in which the interests of any class of persons were more carefully guarded than those of the farmer were in the tariff law of 189a CONGRESSMAN CRAIG DEAD. Representative From the Twentr-Fourth District Passed Away Last Nljht. -Alexander IT. Cratgv a member of Con gress from the Twenty-fourth district, died at his home in Claysville, "Washington county, Pa., at 9 o'clock last night. The deceased had been in delicate health for several weeks. His condition, however, was not thought to be serious until yester day morning, when his physician announced that he could not recover. Congressman Craig was a native of Wash ington county. During all his life he was an active Democrat, but was little known outside of his own county until he was nominated for Congress against Colonel An drew Stewart two years ago. On thn face of the returns at the general election Colonel Stewart was victorious, but Mr. Craig contested the election and was awarded the seat by the Elections Commit tee of Congress and Stewart was unseated. Mr. Craig has served in Congress since Feb ruary. He was about . 60 years old and but recently announced himself as a candidate for re-election. He was an earnest, conscientious member of Congress, and he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was especially popular in his own county. He leaves a family.

Lightning Photographs Upon Body of William Cassell. the IT PRINTS LEAVES ON HIS BREAST. He and Solomon Richardson Meet Under an Cak Tree. Death A BT0RM THAT DdES MUCH DAMAGE The lightning performed a ghastly freak during yesterday's storm. It struck down two colored men in Highland Park. As they fell the surrounding foliage was photo graphed on the breast of one of the victims. William Cassell and Solomon Eichardson are two employes of the city. They work in the stone quarries at Highland Park. Yesterday afternoon the men were on duty when the heavy storm came on. The only place of shelter offered them from the heavy rain was the forest trees. They sought out a massive oak nearby. Shortly alter the pair sought its protection the tree was struck by lightning. The shock was so strong that both men were instantly killed. When the storm was over the men were removed to T. B. Moreland's undertaking rooms on Penn avenue. Here this remark able piece of electric photography was dis covered. It was on the body of William Cassell that the phenomena was shown. Photographed on a Dead Mail's Breast. As his clothes were removed an astound ing Sight met the eves of the undertakers. Across Cassell's broad breast was a picture true to nature. The browned oak leaf of autumn time was there. Twining among the foliage" were a number of ferns. These ton, with the exception that they, like the oak leave, were brown, were as natural as their model. So exact were the leaves and ferns that even the minutest vein was noticeable. It was 4:20 when the men were killed. At 8 o'clock in the evening the impressions began to fade. Slowly the dark brown gave way to a purple color. After the fad ing process bad been working a half hour many of the leaves were indistinct. An hour later the photograph had entirely faded and only the purple coloring re mained. There was another curious thing about Cassell. When his trousers were re moved his lower limbs had both turned to an ashen white. They kept this color. This is a greater mystery than the photo graphic treat. The men were not really hit by the light ning. The shock caused their death. When the men were brought in from the park there was no noticeable evidence that their death was due to electricity. Looked Lifelike in Death. . The men did not even look to be dead. The faces of both wore a pleasant expres sion. There was not the distor tion that usually follows, a vio lent death. The clothing of the men was not disarranged. It was especially so in the case of Cassell. He wore a heavy woolen shirt. Over that he had a coat; both were buttoned up tight. Eichardson was similarly dressed. On the bodies of either, save the impression mentioned, there was not a mark or scar. It is thought very re markable that Richardson's body was not marked the same as Cassell's. Cassell was 23 years of age. He boarded with Mrs. Mary Crumptoo, at Larimer, avenue and-,:Wmsaw;reek' His home Ms in Baltimore. Eichardson was 28 years'old. He was married. A wile and two children survive him. His home was on Bryant street, East End. The men were rerrioved to their homes later in the evening. The Coroner will hold an inquest to-day. A great many people called at Moreland's last night to see Cassell. It was the talk of that portion of the East End. People laughed at the story. But when a visit was made they were fully convinced and went away to spread the news Other Sufferers From the Storm. Highland Park seemed to be the camp ing ground of yesterday's storm. Aside from the two deaths, a number of people were stnnned. John Cosgrave, another laborer, was shocked by a bolt shortly after the one that killed the two men. He was stunned and badly hurt. He did not re cover consciousness for quite awhile. At least a half dozen trees were shattered by lightning. J. B. vandergrift's residence on South Highland avenue was visited by light ning. The roof was badly shattered. A slight fire followed that was quickly ex tinguished. About 5100 worth of damage was done. The occupants of the house were badly shocked. W. F. Fundenberger's residence on South Negley avenue was struck, It was badly damaged. A domestic was greatly shocked. She was knocked off her feet. Conscious ness did not return for several hours. The chimney on the house ot Irwin Bed- path, of C222 Broad street, was struck. The lightning run down the flue into the parlor in which Mrs. Eedpath was lying on a Bofa. She was severely shocked. The mantel and carpet were totally ruined. A Whole Family Shocked. J. C Henry, his wife and mother, of 6204 Broad street, were sitting in their kitchen during the storm. The lightning entered the house by the chimney, coming down into the kitchen through the stove pipe. The stove was completely 'demolished. The lightning then flashed around the room sev eral times. Mr. Henry was badly burned on his hands. His mother and wife were badly shocked. They soon recovered. The houses along Brereton avenue, near the West Penn Hospital, suffered greatly from the storm. Several houses were un roofed. A number of windows were broken by the rain. Three houses in the course of construction, belonging to George Gwinner, were blown down. Their demolition was complete. Jt will cost several thousand dollars to replace them. The Penn avenue cars were greatly delayed. The sewers were unable to carry away the water be tween Thirtieth and Thirty-third streets. The streets were completely covered and the cars could not be moved for a time. The steeple of the Oakland M. E. Church on Forbes street was slightly damaged by lightning. A window in the store of Mrs. Smith on Penn avenue, near Second street, was broken by a bolt of lightning. No other injury was done. A Hotel Set on Fire. The Pheonix Hotel, on Eleventh street, was fired by an electric bolt. Two hundred dollars damage was done. A panic was created among the guests. ML Washington was also visited by the storm. The Schuck block, at the foot of Boggs avenue, suffered considerable damage from lightning. Three occupants were per haps fatally injured, while eight other in mates were badly shocked. Mrs. Henry Grimm, 40 years of age; Jacob Kecher, 19 years old, and -Peter Ammon, aged 25, are the most seriously injured. The block is a two-story frame building, owned by Mrs. John Wilbert The light ning struck the root and run down to the first story. Mrs. Quinn was thopght to be dead tor several hours. Her condition is still very serious. Kecher and Ammon were both rendered unconscious. Their chance of. recovery is slight. A Birmingham.car was derailed at the Castle Shannon Incline lrom stones that were washed on the track. The hill districts suffered greatly from the storm.

New Orleans, July 29. Special The steamship Eover, from Honduras, brings the news that a fight was moment arily expected at Quielva Boliza, where Colonel Pedro Torres has been trying to force his way through the lines of the Government troops and join the Nuila revolutionary army. All the towns on the North coast, whether in the hands of revolutionists or the Government, are under martial law. At Ceiba the streets are patrolled by soldiers and barri cades are erecte'd on the principal thoroughfares. Noone'is allowed out'of the houses after 8 o'clock. News from the interior announces the arrival at Amapala, a town on the Pacific coast, of Eon Poli carho Borilla, whom the revolutionists have f proclaimed President. A general uprising n his favor is reported there. General Solmon Ordenez, Governor and Commandante of Aurapalia, went over to Borilla with all his troops. The Govern ment is now between two fires, with Bonilla on the Pacific and Nuila on the Atlantis coast. ' General Manuel Bonilla landed, at Ceiba witfi anumDer'of cTtiled"Hdndnrnnans and" marched at once to the reinforcement of Nuila. The American vessels engaged -in the fruit trade find that the revolution is inter-, ferine with the trade, in consequence of Hie lack of labor for loading the vessels with fruit, so many of the natives having gone into the'armies. The concentration of the Government troops on Puerto Cortez has resulted in the yellow fever there and at Santa Marta, a place where it has seldom prevailed, but Ceiba and the other coast towns are tree from it. AN EXTRA SESSION NEEDED. The Governor of Michigan Has n Job That Needs a Speedy Disentanglement. Lansing, Mich., July 29. Special. Governor "Winans spent the entire jday considering the apportionment act ot 1881, and applying to the districts created thereby the population shown by tLe census of 1890, in order to determine the necessity for calling an extra session of the Legislature. The comparison showed that this act, if followed, would create much more glaring inequalities of representation than either of the acts which the Court wiped out yesterday, and, furthermore, that as new counties, townships" and wards have been created since its passage, it would be rank injustice to bold this tail's elections under its provisions. He therefore decided to call an extra session. The formal call will not be issued until Monday. The date has not been definitely decided upon, but it will probably be Au gust 9. SURE OF RECOVERY.

There have been no signs of any trouble, and the physi cians now confidently assert that the patient is beyond all danger, and that his complete recovery is only a question of a few weeks. Mr. Frick rested well all Thursday night, and yesterday morning ate a hearty break fast.

Major Gen eral George E. Snowden and several mem bers of his staff, including Surgeon General E. S. Huidckoper, Colonel G. H. North, Lieutenant Colonel E, S. Cullinan and Colonel Charles Green, returned lrom Homestead to-day. General Snowden hnd hardly reached headquarters before ho was asked to talk about Homestead and the pun ishment of Private lams, of the Tenth Eegi nient by Colonel Streetor. In regard to the latter he said: "I have no official opinion to give on the matter at this time. I may be called on later to give it. My individual opinion.-however, is that the punishment of Iann was Inflicted in the face ot rebel lion, treason, murder, anarchy and o rc press'a mutiny. The control of enlisted men and the efficiency and discipline of a regiment are in the hands of its command ing officer. The trial of enlisted men by court-martial is in the hands of tne' bric ade commander. A- report of the circum stances in the lams caie was made to me after the event, and I was asked what dis position should be made of him. It was then that I made the order already pub lished. I have nothing more to say on the subject." Never "Was a Better Camp. In regard to the camp and the behavior of the State troops at Homestead, General Snowden said: "There was never a better camp that I have seen in war or peace. The officers and men were willing, ready, active, prompt and vigilant. The guard duty was never so well done in our service, and I never saw it doge better auywhere. Officers and men behaved themselves with great discretion in the face of the greatest aggra vation. The food was excellent and bounti ful and it was served promptly after the first day. "The troops that I "have left at Home stead are the Fifth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Eegiments, the Sheridan troop and Battery B, of the Second Brigade, under the com mand of Brigadier General John A. Wiley. He and I consider that force ample to pre serve the peace. . General Wiley is an efficient officer, and his troops may be relied upon to give a good account of themselves in case of need. Should any disorder arise, however, in that neighborhood beyond the control or limits of General Wiley's com mand, the rest of the division, as has been shown, can be concentrated there in a few hours.

"The people may as well make up their minds that the eruption at Homestead indi cates the prevalence ot the disease in the body politic, which extends far beyond what they have any conception of, and in stead of criticising the efforts of spirited and patriotic officers to preserve discipline in their ranks, the public should do every thing possible to uphold them.

"I want also to add there is one tning to be said to the lasting credit of the National Guard, notwithstanding all the influences exerted upon them by word, circulars and newspapers, not a man, with the single exception of lams, evidenced the slightest disloyalty to the cause he was there to represent. It may be added also to their credit as gentlemen and soldiers in excel lent discipline that they were not provoked to violence by the persistent taunts and sneers of the rioters and foul names and epithets heaped upon them." Surgeon General E. S. Hmdekoper, who also returned to-day, said: "Colonel Streator was absolutely right in what he did, and when the public know the facts ther will agree with me.

Adjutant Hayes Thinks lams Got Only What He Deserved A Plea That the Punishment Was Only Commensurate With the Crime. Washington, Pa., July 29. Special. Adjutant Sheldon B. Hayes, of the Tenth Eegiment, who was present at the punish ment of Private W. L. lams for calling on the soldiers of the regiment to cheer the man who shot Chairman H. C Frick, of the Carnegie Company, has returned to his home in this place. He gives the following details ot the occurrence: Adjutant Hays begins by quoting the sol diers' oath to defend .the Constitution of the United States and the State of Penn sylvania, and that he would not give aid or comfort to the enemies of either. The work men at Homestead, he contended, had as sumed the powers of goverment, and any utterances of sympathy for them by the guard was treason and perjury. lams' self; confessed act, he said, stamped him as a traitor and a perjurer. lams was ordered to.be tied up by the thumbs under the direction of Major-Sur-geon Neg and Drs. CTllom and Grim. The order from Colonel Streator was that he be made to suffer, but that no physical injury be done him. Adjutant Hayes, who stood by all the time, says that lams was tied up, but was not lifted from the ground. He was able at any time, so loosely was he suspended, to have borne his full weight upon the ground. .He, however, shitted his weight from, one. foot to the other, and the punishment simply consisted of the cul prit's having to keep his arms suspended. After being strung up he asked one of the surgeonsfor a chew of tobacco, which re quest was granted, and at the end of 19 minutes, when released, lams said: "I wish 1 had not swallowed that tobacco juice; it has made me sick." v Adjutant Hayes says that at no time was Jams unconscious, un saunuay morning Adjutant Hayes read 'all the communica tions in regard to the matter to the brigade on-dress parade. ColonelHawkins' general orders defining the acts of perjnry and treason and the penalty therefor were also read- He says no irial was necesary, be cause lams had confessed. Had he denied the charge he would have been court martialed. TOLSTOI'S Countess, by Frank G. Car penter, In THE DISPATCH to-morrow. THEY WILL RESPOND To your advertisements ia THE DISPATCH. They read THREE CENTS HE Anarchist Berkman Says He "Wanted to End the Life of Chairman Frick. HELD OX MANY CHABGES. The Assassin Given a Hearing Inside the Walls of the Jail. HE MAKES A DISPLAY OP BRAVADO Aldermen lldlasters and Gripp Fix UU Bond at $14,000. SOUTHSIDE EED3 ARE DISCONSOLATE Berkman, the assassin, was held for court yesterday, and over a half dozen commit ments lodged against him. The amount of bail demanded is $14,000, and he is still in jail. The strange feature of the case was that the Anarchist who attempted to assassi nate H. C Frick was tried before two aldermen at once, and he was also given a hearing inside the jaiL This is one of the firstever held there. There were only Alderman McMasters and Gripp, District Attorney Clarence Burleigh and the two witnesses present. The witnesses were Vice Chairman John G. Leishman, of the Carnegie companies, and David Fortney, the elevator boy at the Carnegie offices. It wat feared the hearing would attract a great crowd and that the anarchists would make some demonstration. The harings were, therefore, held in Warden McAleese's private office in the jail. Superintendent of Police O'Mara had lodged an informa tion azainst Berkman before 'Squire Gripp on a charge ot felonious shooting. No Lack of Serious Charges. Before Alderman McMasters Secretary Lovejoy had entered charges of felonious assault aud lattery, felonious cutting and carrying concealed weapons and three charges of entering a building with feloni ous intent. One was made for each time he went there. Vice Chairman Leishman was the first witness called. He reviewed briefly the story of the attempted assassination of the Chairman of the Carnegie interests. He said he thought Mr. Frick's wounds were very serious, and declared that if the wound in the back had been deflected an inch it would have produced death. He also told just how the wounds were inflicted. Berkman was asked it he had anything to say to this, and declared he had no lawyer and didn't wish to say anything. He sat up very straight in a chair, and seemed to enjoy the whole proceeding. Davio) Fortney was next put on the stand and testified he had hauled Berkman np in the elevator July 1C and twice on July 23. Magistrate Gripp asked Berkman what he had to say to this, and he only puffed his cigarette harder andsaid nothbjjr " - , IT nntcc? to Kill Cbkivi in Fr.'sV. District Attorney Burleigh tU.. plied TO KILL, ? I him with a number of questions, for which he got only surly responses which amonnted to nothing. Finally he asked, 'Did you intend to kill Mr. Frick, or just to torture him?" At this the Anarchist puffed out a big ? cloud of cigarette smoke and in the toughest S of tough voices exclaimed, "Wanted to kill him." Then he devoted himself to watch ing the smoke vanish into the air. This settled the Alderman and Berkman was held for court on every charge. He was escorted back to jail and another lot of legal papers were lodged against him. It is not believed anybody will furnish him with a 514,060 bail bond. Berkman's supposed accomplices passed an easy day in Central station, yesterday, and, though the police have been keeping a close watch, there were no more added to the number. The man who accompanied Berkman to the Carnegie offices is still at laTge. The police are "also guarding closely the letters from prominent Anarchists found yesterday in Bauer's pocketbook. They re fuse to give out the contents, and it is be lieved outside that they contain very im portant information. A Text in a Dry Book. Of the three prisoners Bauer is the mos t pleasant. He received no one yesterday but his attorneys, Friedman and Meyers. Yesterday afternoon, finding life a trifle irksome, he asked for something' to read and was furnished with a copy of the report of the Department ot Public Safety for the year 1891. After an examination of the book Bauer started to do some writing, and explained that he wss going to write an article for Herr Most's Frthett, and would like as his subject the number of.prisoners in the Central station during 1891 who could neither read nor write. The Police Department since the arrest of the Anarchists has been in receipt of many letters, all of them anonymous, tell ing them to capture all the Anarchists in the land, and how to get confessions from those now underarrest. These letters came from different parts of the country, one of them coming from Minneapolis. The three prisoners will be given a hear ing to-day before Magistrate Gripp, but just at what hour the officials could not state, as it had not yet been determine d. Tcrnern Opposed to Anarchr. Considerable excitement has been stirred up on the Southside over the recent move ments of the Anarchists. Some days ago an effort was made to secure Druid's Hall for a meeting to be held either to-night or to-morrow. Since the arrest of Fritz Sira menns it developed that it was his group that wanted the hall for a meeting, and they informed the Anarchists they could not have the hall. The group then went to work to prepare for a meeting on August 14, and in the mean- ( time will look out foranother hall, and say that if they cannot secure Druid's Hall they will get one elsewhere. ' The arrest of Fritz Simmenns as an An archist, and the fact that he is a member of the Southside Turnverein, has created more excitement. The turners are mad. There are careful in admitting new members to the society, and not desiring to pose as Anarchists', they have very zealously guarded against the admission of Anarchists to their ranks, it is stated that Simmenni will be expelled from the turnverein, and an investigation win ne neiu to uiscover how many more "reds" are in the society. If any are found thev will also be arrested.
