TESTIMONY IN REBUTTAL Flat Contradiction of Evidence Offered by Defense. Tho Commonwcnlth Witnesses Unci Never Ilcnnl tlio Vorncilyor Sallio (Inst Questioned, Hut All Agree Thnt Defense's 'Witnesses Arc Not to 11 o Tni8tcil--Collcctor Grnnt Her ring Decides to Omit the Thrilling l'luce ot Evidence Promised. Bloomsburg, June 9. When court convened this morning for the continu ance of the Wlntersteen-Knorr dyna mite conspiracy oae, the defendant, Liloyd S. Wlntersteen was re-called to the stand. He was questioned as to several conversations he was alleged to have had with Cashier Tustln, 'of the Bloomsburg National bank, and made a general denial to all of Mr. Tustln's statements. He also denied having told Attorney Snyder that ho did not bellevo In God, Christ or a hereafter. The prosecution, then called several witnesses for rebuttal. Riley Slckler, J. D. Brannlng, Cyrus Fox, CHf Knorr, Albert Roth and Mrs. Mulsburger'. were t all called. The substance, of their 'testimony was that they would not believe the witness for the defense under oath, and that they had never heard Sallle Gast's veracity question ed. , Court then took a recess until 2 o'clock. At th'e afternoon session of the court, rebuttal was the order of the day, during which the reputations of sever al wltnf-sses were aired. When court opened the prosecution examined wit nesses with an Intent to brove that Sally Gast's reputation was very good, while that of Mr. and Mrs. Phllllppl, two witnesses for the defense, were "very questionable. E. B Tustln, cashier of the First National bank, testified that Mr. Wln tersteen said tb him a few days after the explosion that hVj had seen a man standing at the corner of Sloan's alley with arevolver or a knife In 'his hand and that he was uttering threats against Mr. Waller. He said that-he tried to persuade the man to give up his Intentions of harming Waller. The defendant when asked about this matter In crcss-examlnatlon said that he could not recall such' a conversa tion. The nrxt witness to rantt.idict a portion of Winterstecn's story was Elizabeth Jacoby, a clerk in the post omce. She said that Wlntersteen had written fifty letters in the past five or six years to Miss Dora Moharter. This was a flat contradiction of not only Wlntersteen's testimony 'but that of the Moharter girl's as well, both the latter having sworn that only two communications passed between them in, the past nine years. Cross-examination -failed to shake Jacoby testi mony. HERRING DID NOT TESTIFY. It "had been expected that Senator Grant Herring would give some inter esting testimony In regard to an al leged struggle of Wlntersteen's with a woman in the bushes oA the night of July 1, 1896. Mr. Graham announced that after a consultation with the de fense It had been agreed that in view of th fact that Senator Herring had taken such an active part In the prose cution bf the case, he would not testi fy, and that both sides had agreed that the fact of his not testifying should not be mentioned again by elth er side. Mr. Wraller was then recalled. He testified that he had taken part in the equity proceedings, making an Important address before the court, thus contradicting Mr. AVinterstecn's statement that he "never opened his hadi" Ab.iut a dozen witnesses were called by the defense to prove that the char acter and the reputotlon of Theodore Hoyman and Jacob Phllllppl, two of the defense's witnesses, had never been questioned. Nearly all the witnesses in rebuttal had peon heard when court adjourned until tomorrow. The closing speeches wjll probably be made tomorrow and the case will go to the Jury on Friday. Judgq Ermentrout's charge Is awaited with much interest. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS. Pennsylvania Is Remembered In tlio Distribution of Tnvors. Washington, June 9.

But Little Progress Is Made oa the BUI. Mr. Cannon, of Utah, Wants the Farmer Remembered. Washington, June 9. The senate had a period of tariff speeches today and as a result little progress was made on the bill. Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, and Mr. Mills, of Texas, discussed the Democratic attitude of the tariff from their respective standpoints. Mr. Raw lins was a member of the platform com mittee of the Chicago convention and proposed the tariff plank which was adopted. He held that the vote he and sevcrnl other Democratic senators had cast for duties on cotton and other ag ricultural products was Justified by that platform and by the traditions of the party. Mr. Mills severely arraign ed the bill as a class measure designed to build a vast fund for distribution among the beneficiaries of the bill and at the expense of the "forgotten men," the tax payers. Ho indirectly criti cised these Democratic senators who voted for the amendments toHhe bill putting a tax opjcotton and other ar ticles, contending that their course was a radical departure from the tenets of Demdcracy. Later in the day Mr. Cannon, of Utah, proposed an amend ment placing an export bounty on ag ricultural products. He spoke for two 'hours on the need of giving the farmer a share of the benefits of the tariff. Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, also spoke In favor of giving the farmer equal benefits with other classes under the bill. Only half a page of the bill, covering four brief and cpmparatlvely unimportant paragraphs (229 to 233) were disposed of during the day. The session will begin at 11 a. m. tomor row.

CALHOUN AT THE WHITE HOUSE Tlio Spoclnl Commissioner 11ns n Second Conferunco With Mr. Mc-Klnlcy-Tlio Question of Interfer ence on Jlchnlf of Cubii-Mr. Cnl lioun Is Censured by the President for Talking Too Much. Washington, June 9. A conference lasting" three-quarters of an hour took place this morning between Pres ident McKlnloy and his special Com missioner to Cuba, William J. Cal houn. At 10:30 o'clock Mr. Calhoun left the White House in order to allow the president time to make final pre parations for his i departure at 12 o'clock for Nashville. Tho conference this morning, following the one held last evening, completed the re port which Mr. Calhoun had to make with regard to tho main facts of his visit to Cuba and tho Ruiz Investiga tion. Details ns to what he saw and heard while In Cuba, beating on the state of war and the condition of the people on tho island, will be made the subject of another and more extended Interview with the president after tho latter's return from the south. It has not been difficult to ascertain the general report of Mr. Calhoun's report to President McKlnley. That It Is wholly damaging to the Spanish cause and calculated to hasten posi tive action on the part of the President has been made evident, both by the character of the special commissioner's answers to the questions of the re porters, and by the side remarks made by senators and representatives In con gress who have been In a position to obtain reliable semi-official Informa tion on the subject. There are many rumors today re garding the president's probable pol icy, but none seems to have a founda tion of facts. The best opinion is to the effect that though Mr. McKlnley has outlined a possible line of action, this action has not been decided upon. Tho decision will be withheld until his return to Washington, nt least, and probably until ho has had further time to examine the reports of Commission er Calhoun and Consul General Lee. PROMPT ACTION PREDICTED. Tho prediction is made with confi dence by many persons that the presi dent will act promptly. There will be no long delay. Tho first act of Mr. McKlnley probably will be to file a claim against the Spanish government for Indemnity for the death of Dr. Ruiz, accompanied by a diplomatic noto of such a firm tenor as will not allow postponement of consideration of the matter by Spain. This should bring some reply from Spain, which may or may not have an Important bearing on the president's subsequent policy. If tho reply Is unfavorable It will furn ish, In the opinion of the administra tion, additional ground for interfer ence by this government In the Cuban war. If tho reply is favorable, It does not follow that th'e administration will not still interfere In the struggle of the Cubans for Independence. It has become well known to those who are close to the administration that the president believes vigorous action on the part of the executive department of this government will help our com merce more than any Incidental dis turbance will Injure it. In short, he be lieves the looked for prosperity In this country cannot be fully realized until our trade with Cuba Is restored, at least prospectively, to Its normal con dition, or until the uneasiness due to a probable collision with Spain Is re moved. MR. CALHOUN REPROVED. Mr. Oalhoun was distinctly reproved by tho president last evening for his freedom of speech while being inter viewed by the New York repot tcrs. Mr. Calhoun returned to his hotel much chagrined and told intimate filonds thnt he had been unjustly treated by his interviewers, and that he had been mado to say things which he had never divulged. Later In tho evening ho dined with Senator Cullom at Cham berlain's, Mr. Cullom believes firmly In a vigorous Cuban policy on the part of the president. He expressed I his belief two weeks ago, when ho said that the ultimate needs of our com merce demand It. He talked a long time with Mr. Calhoun and scemd sat lsfld with what he hear J. Commissioner Calhoun did not ac company tlio presIdJtitlal party on tho Nashville trip today. He will leave tonight for his homo In Illinois) but will return to Washington within a few days. The conservative ebment In tho dis cussion of Cuban nffilrs has been by no means silent slnco the return of the commissioner. Such persons do little talking, but when they bay any thing It Is to express tho belief that tho president will content himself for the present with action In tho Ruiz case; that he will exhaust the means of dip lomatic negotiation before adopting any so-called "vigorous policy," and that he believes commercial confidence will be promoted more easily by a policy of inaction. LYNCHING MOB IN OGDENSBURQ. Prisoner Hnd Assnultnd a Tonchcr. Was Hurried Awny to Snfoty. Watertown, N, Y Juno 9. To save him from a mob 500 strong, which sur rounded the city hall In Ogdensburg, Joseph Do Year, who was confined In the basement on the charge of assault ing Miss Lillian E.

Many Villages Hnvo Ucon Destroy ed by Thorn. Constantinople, June 9. It Is expect ed that strong pressure will be needed to overcome tho dcslstance of th'e Turk ish government to the retrocession of Thessaly. Reports that Great Britain Is opposing Turkey's retention of Thes saly on religious grounds are being cir culated here with the view of exciting Mussulman fanactlclsm. The powers contend that, as they guarantee the In tegrity of Turkey, the latter must re spect the Integrity of others. In a memorandum submitted to the Turkish government the powers pro pose that the crests of the mountains on tho Greek frontier be occupied by Turkish, Instead of Greek troops, and also that tho Indemnity be in the pro portion to the resources of Greece. It Is further proposed to modify the capi tulations or special privileges enjoyed by Greek subjects In Turkey, with the view of abolishing certain abuses which have been tho subject of com plaint upon the part of the Turks Tho two latter questions will be intrusted to a commission of experts and the delimiting of the frontier will bo exe cuted by an International military commission. It now rests with the Turkish gov ernment as to whether peace will be concluded speedily or not, and It Is be lieved the sultan will resist as long as possible. The dispatch of attaches of the Brit ish, Russian and Italian embassies to Thessaly "with instructions to report upon the situation there, Is duo to the reports in circulation that tho Turkish Irregulars have committed excesses in Thessaly, where many villages are said to have been destroyed by them.
