The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-04-08

WASHINGTON CITY, April 6-The investl
cation into the loss of the Arctic steamer
Jeannette, which was begun Saturday by
the ub-committee of the house naval affairs
committee, was resumed, and Fireman Bart
lett was again put on the stand. He said no
was under arrest for insubordination when
he went before the board of inquiry,
and this prevented his giving full answers
He did not suppress any facts before the
court of inquiry, but the questions submitted
by Dr. Collins, Brother of jerome j. Collins,
one of the lost, and ruled out, would have
thrown light on the subject To
a certain extent, he had been afraid
of persecution by the navy depart
ment, and feared the facts in regard
to his arrest would be brought out. He knew
facts rejecting on the honor OF Melville and
Danenhower, but knew nothing refscting on
their humanity. The facts affecting their
honor did not, in his Judgment, have any
bearing on the result of the expedition. They
consisted in setting bad example to the men
and intoxication. Witness himself had
drunk with Melville. He was also aware of
facts rejecting on the conduct Of all the sur
vivors of the expedition, himself included.
Never knew Collins to be under the influence
of liquor. Understood it was general
thing among officers ito make game" of
Collins. Did not know any man on the
Jeannette being subjected to any outrage or
indignity.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.
Arguments Presented to Congress in
Favor of a National Enactment.
Testimony Before the Springer and
Danviile COmmittees--The Bcaa-
nette-- Congressional Work.
Wool Men Beaten.

WASHINGTON CITY. April s.--A strong
effort is being made by the business organi-
zations of the country to persuade congress
to pass national bankrup tcy law. The bin
now before congress for this purpose is the
result of a good deal of careful study, by men
who have given the subject a great deal of
thought, and have had long legal experience
A series of arguments in favor of
the enactment of sucl Law has been
presented to members in pam ihlet form.
Here are some of the reasons which are urged
in favor of the passage of such a law.
The constitution expressly provides for the
establishment of national and uniform sys-
TEN of bankruptcy
A uniform and just national bankrupt law
is essential for the well-heing of a CONNER
cial nation.
The credit system which underlies our COM
mercal transactions alone find security in a
uniform law for equitable distribution of the
estates of the insolvent debtors.
A protection of the credit system will make
lower prices, as risky credits must cause
high prices.
The increasing commerce between citizens
of various states gives greater need for uni
form system OF this nature The state laws
upon this subject differ so greatly that they
cannot be relied upon in general Interstate
business
A commercial nation should protect for.
eign creditors in dealing with its citizens,
and give them one Law upon which they can
rely. instead of thirty eight unreliable state
laws as now exist.
The present laws breed roguery, promote
perjury, and place a premium upon fraud.
The failures in the United States increased
from $65, 600, 000 in 1880, to Sl73, ,009, 900 in
1SS3 largely because of the inefficiency OF
the state systems of bankruptcy.

WASHINGTON CITY, April Sex Con
gresham Dezendorf, of Norfolk, Va, was
examined by the Danvil!e committee. He
was the regular Republican candi date of his
district for the present congress. He was
asked by Senator Vance to tell what he
knew of drawing the color liue in the last can
vass and who drew it. He said that, while
he believed that of the colored vote of Vir-
ginia 500 out of every 1000 would vote the
regular Republican ticket if left to exercise
their own volition yet since the advent of
Gen. Malone as a controlling power, the
colored vote had been manipulated and con-
trolled to greater extent than ever, the
Readjusters even going so far as sending
out a circular purporting to be signed
by the president of the United
States, saying that he wished them
to support the Readjuster ticket The wit
ness believed that there had been more PEP
secution of Republicans by Malone thar
there had been just after reconstruction by
the Bourbon Democratic party, and ex-
pressed the opinion that if the Republicans
of the north and of the senate had stood by
the Republicans of Virginia, they would
have had two white men where Senat sr Ma
hone had one

The Science of Mezzeroff.

NEW YORK, April S.-Professor Mezzeroff,
the Russian nihilist, addressed large meet
ing of the Joe Brady Emergency club on the
subject of Irelands condition. In the course
of his remarks he said:
The Englishman in Ireland beg us to re-
frain from the slaughter of innocent women
and children, and respect vested
rights Fault has been found with our
method of taking off Cavendish and Burke.
What has England to say Of the action OF
Gladstone, her own prime minister, when he
went to Italy, entered nunneries, and col
lected money for revolution in country
with which England was at peace? There
will never come a time when one man can
fight six with their own weapons. England
has eight OF the largest ships in the world
which could stand eight miles out at sea
and storm this city. Now, 100 rounds of dyra.
mite will do more in one hohr than
twenty of the best Krupp guns could do in
twelve days. Ireland can be freed by this
new system of employing dynamite to throw

pursued.

the Ottmann case. On the way to Washing
ton he was detected figuring division of the
money stolen. The evidence was conclusive,
said witness, that Halleck was guilty with
Ottmann in the robbery During the time
Ottmann was in custody of witness he gave
evidence Of being guilty. Had the prosecu-
ton taken the advice of Maj. Richards,
