claim to possess powers of prophecyT Witness
replied that she could sometimes foretell events,
under certain circumstances, but was plainly
somewhat embarrassed by the question. She
became somewhat confused when questioned as
to the relations occupied by herself, Mrs. Par
sons MIR. Parsons and Fischer, and contradicted
herself as TO minor details.
Samuel Fielden, defendant, was then called to
the stand. He corroborated the testimony Of
other witnesses for the defense as to the meet
ing held at the Arbeiter Zeitung Office early in
the evening of May 4. From there he accom-
panied Parsons to the Haymarket, arriving at
the conclusion of Spiess speech. Parsons then
spoke and the Witness being introduced by
Spies, spoke about twenty minutes. He re-
peated the substance of his speech, which
was about the same as reported by the
papers. Arriving at that portion of
his speech where he was reported to have ad-
vsed that law be ''throttled,n he said he used
the term in fgurative sense, meaning that law
which did not protect people should be abolished.
Witness spoke fuently, in a slightly tremulous
tone of voice. and related subsequent events
about as follows: "As was concluding my re-
marks noticed the police coming toward me.
When they were quite close, Captain Ward said,
in angry tone of voice command

of Illinois. to dssperse.' then step,

The remainder of Fielden's testimony related
to such stereotyped items of the defense as, the
police did all the firing; thore was no intention
to use dynamite or any kind of force at
the Haymarket; the armed section
of the association had no arms.
ETC., and throughout which the witnesses ap-
swers were similar to those of his feow-wit-
nesses. The defense brought into considerable
prominence the fact that Fielden was an indus
trious and prosperous workirgman, who never
owned revolver In his life, and did not use one
at the Haymarket. His direct examination will
be continued tomorrow morning.

Washington Special.
The Morrison surplus resolution failed after
all. President Cleveland killed It with pocket
veto. II reached him at eight minutes past IL
o'clock to-day. It's provisions did not contain
twenty lines. He thus had nearly four hours to
consider it, but for reasons botter known to HIM
self he did not sign it. and thus it fails to be-
come a law. Tonight his killing of this import-
ant measure by ndirection is severely criticised.

TIRE LIBRARY SITE BILL.

How Secretary Lamar Quieted MIR. Holm1m
and Secured It's Passage.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Aug g. lit was due to the ef.
forts of Secretary Lamar that the additional
appropriation of $35, 900. to pay for the library
site, got through the House before Congress ad-
journcd yesterday, and became law. Tho
Secretary was on the floor of the House, deeply
interested in the matter The resolution had
to so through by unanimous consent, if at all,
and the men from whom objection was most
feared were Messrs. Tucker and Holman, beth
of whom had been opposed to the original library
bill Some time before the resolution was up
Mr. Lamar took a seat next Mr. Tucker aud ar
gued the point with him good -naturedly fog
nearly half an hour. When they part
ed it was evident that the Virgin
ian would not object Mr.. Holman
sat silently, near by, with his thin lips COM
pressed. Mr.. Lamar shook hands with him, and
was soon in earnest conversation. The great OBJ
jector looked embarrassed and uneasy but after
few minutes. the softeniDg influence Of The
Secretary's conversation began to tell on him
and finally bis lips relapsed and wave of ths
hand showed it was all right Mr.. Lamar then
took seat in front of him and kept him in hand
until the resolution was finally passed. When
the proper moment same, Mr.. Butterworth
called up the resolution. Then, to the horror of
the library men and the Secretary, an
objection came from an unexpected
source. Mr. Dockery. of Missouri, ob-
jected. Mr.. Lamar nudged member and ha
ran over to the Missouran. In moment he
had withdrawn his objection and was doubled up
behind his desk. with his head almost in the seat
OF his chair, silent during the rest of the opera
tion. Meanwhile Mr. Holman began to get un-
easy. He worked his shoulder. and began to rub
his hand over his face nervously. Presently he
jumped up and waved his hand, with nervous
jerk. 'Mr. Speaker" he said The library men
looked frightened. and Secretary Lamar began
to feel that be had lost his hold on him. But the
great obiector merely rose to say that. as
original proposition, he would OPP
pose the resolution, because no Thought

and let the bill go through. Secretary Lamar at

MONTREAL, Aug 6-In December, 1884,
George K Fosser, one of the wealthest resi-
dents of Richmond, Que, died, leaving fortune
of 81. 100000 A few days ago an attempt was
made by unknown parties to steal the body, A
hole four feet deep was dug into the ground close
to the monument, where it was supposed the
body lay. The thieves, however, failed in their
attempt, for the remains were not buried snear
the monument, but some distance away from 1t,
and the ground was leyelled so that there was no
indication of where the body lay. Near the hole
lay pick and spade. the handle of the spade
bearing the letters III. IT,, New York" and it is
supposed that the parties, whoever they were,
from that city The impression is that the
thieves intended to steal the remains and hold
them for large ransom.

who Does nIr. Arnold ralk with?

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Matthew Arnold, who is in
America, publishes letter in the London
Times In which he says: II suppose there is
no country 10 the world whore Gladstone favor
is stronger than in the United States; yet even
here, if you weigh instead Of count opinions, the
balance opposes his Irish policy. The main
motive Americans have for sympathy with Mr..
Gladstone is the temptation to please the Irish.
Weighty opinion is not that of the general pub
lie who yield to this temptation, but that of the
men who resist 1t and look deeper. Of these
serious people, the opinion is against Mr.. Glad
stone. Nevertheless, Americans, one and all.
sincerely believe that the Irish ought to have
control of their own local affairs The Marquis
of Salisbury must recognize this. If he merely
tries to keep order and let things drift, he will
lose great opportunity If be produces good
scheme of loyal government he will probably
secure Mr.. Glanstone's support for it.

MINOR NOTES.
The Capital Assuming It's Customary Sum-
mer Aspect of Dullness.

mer Aspect of Dizziness.
WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Already Washington
has begun to feel the effects of the adjournment
of Congress. and tho broad avenues and streets
which for this past eight months have been lively
with the handsome equipages of Senators, and
the humber vehicles of the members Of tha
lower house of Congress, have resumed their
summer air of quietude. The Capitol Today was
well nigh deserted The few Congressman who
visited the building did so merely for the pur-
pose of experimenting the packing of their pa
pers. The committee clerks were closing u2
their dockets of the sessions work, and the
ubiquitous newspaper man roamed through the
corridors vainly seeking for an item of interest
ing news or gossip. No errors have been found
in any Of the enrolled bills and the enrolling
clerks attribute this to the fact that the Presi-
dent would not be hurried into the consideration
OF bills presented to HIM There was, therefore,
but little legislation enacted during the closing
hours of the session, and the clerks were not
unduly pressed in the performances of their du-
ties. The record of the present Congress fills
$3.50 printed pages, not including the indexes
and the appendix. This exceeds by about l., 500
pages the record of any preceding session Of Coa-
gress.
How the Oleomarearine Law Will Operate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-Senator Miller says
the report that the oleomargarine bill was emas-
cuated ir the Senate or materially weakened in
any way is without foundation. While the farm
ers had fixed upon Scent tax, and while he
worked to it. still the rate of tax was not
the important feature of the bill The evil
sought to be cured was the practice of putting on
the market, under the guise and in the name OF
butter. variety of fraudulent limitations The
machinery devised to prevent this, Senator Mil
Ter says is retained in all its vigor in the bill as
it became law Oleomargarine and all imita-
tions of butter must henceforth be pat
up in stamped and branded packages,
and must stand their own
merits. The penalties for violation are severe.
and the machinery for the detection of evasion
and for the enforcement of the law is as near per-
lection as the experience of the Internal Rese-
nue. Department could invent
One incidental, but very important result Of
the passage Of the act he says will be the aid il
will furnish to State authorities to carry out
their own laws on the subject. Heretofore how
ever stringent the State laws may have been it
has been extremely dificuIt-often impossible
Ito execute it. by reason of the fact that imita-
| tions of butter made in neghboring States could

expensive and slow-to detect fraud.

THE DEAD AT GREYSTONE.
NoChaHge Made in the Arrangements of the
Funeral Announced Yesterday.

YoNKERs. n. Y, Aug 6.-The morning opened
rainy, and all is quiet at Greystone The prepa-
rations for Mr.. Tilden's funeral tomorrow
morning are about completed. The undertaken
has had the white drapery removed from the
catafalque, which is to be removed to the draw
ing-room and draped in black. Men are at work
draping the parlors and drawing room with black
cashmere The embalming of the body was
quite successful. Nj. Tilden's face looks natural
and peaceful, and looks upon the bier in the
stiffness OF death as if he were in a refreshing
slumber.
The business men of Yonkers have concluded
to close their stores to omorrow from 10 to IL
o'clock. which will be the time occupied by the
funeral services and the solemn procession In GO
ing from Greystone to the Hudson River depot.
The Common Council of Yonkers have adopted
resolutions of coincidence and deprecate the loss
of such worthy and upright citizen. 1t is pro-
posed that tho Mayor and Common Council at
tend the funeral in body.
The casket in which the remains are to be
placed, will not be finished until this evening.
Meanwhile the body will remain on the Temporal
ry bier upon which it was placed yesterday. AS
soon as finished the burial casket will be taken
to Greystone, and the body, which has been
embalmed and dressed for the grave. will
be placed in it. The pail bearers have not
all been chosen, and thel list will not be positively
announced until some time this afternoon.
There have been no changes made in the funeral
programme as announced yesterday. The
proposition has beer submitted to relatives to
allow the body to lie in state in the City Hall in
New York. to give the people an opportunity to
view the remains, but consent has so far
been withheld, and there is no probability
that such an arrangement will be entertained.
Captain Mangin has placed an extra guard Of po-
lice around the mansion to keep the curious at
respectful distance, and only friends and ac
quaintances of the family are, at the request of
the family, permitted to enter the house of the
dead.
