WASHINGTON, d. c., July 19-Tbe
House tariff bill is now complete and the
debate ended so eventually that it formed
q striking contrast to the boisterous way
in which the Republicans started in to at
tack il last April. Then it was declared it
would never pass, that the Democracy
was divided and would be hope'essly
split before the end was reached. At
the close to-day on one hand
could be counted all the Demo
Gratis who will oppose it, while the
republicans are hopelessly split on all the
main issues and one of their leaders admit
ted that the bill would certainly pass. The
estimated majority has crawled upwards
week by week. The Republicans have
not gained supporter that they had not
at the start, and have lost three. The
Democrats have now almost the united
support of their own party and calculate
on u majority of sixteen or nearly
double what the most sanguine expected
three months ago. Speculation as to
what the House will do is now over. The
center OF interest hereafter will be on the
Senate side, and Republicans over there
will find themselves in q worse dilemma
than their brethren in the House, because
they must meet the question, being in n
majority. representative Butterworth
dropped 3 suggestion in the closing hour
of the debate in House that indicates what
is being considered by the Senate,
namely to dodge the issue by tax
ing testimony sll summer and keep
ing the bill from coming mp for discussion
in the Senate until after the election. This
cowardly dodge does not meet with the
unanimous support of the Republican
members of the Finance Committee, but it
serves to show the hole the party is in.
However, if the Senate takes the courageous
course, and goes to work to perfect sub
stitute it will be September l before the
session closes

Burlington Dynamite Case.

CHICAGO, July 19.-Much curiosity
was expressed to-day ss to what the de-
fense in the Burlington dynamite case
would be. at the opening Of court lawyer
Donahce asked Judge Ewing if the prose-
cution rested it's case. Mr.. Ewing nodded
his head affirmatively, saying I'VE now
rest the case and are prepared to discuss
proofs.' Mr.. Ewing declined to make
any argument saying: 'We simply ask
that the defendants be held on the evil
dence.
After an earnest address by each of the
two lawyers for the defense, Commissioner
Hayne said: ''The prosecution has pre-
sented q good probable case against the
prisoners, aud should not be performing
my duty unless ! referred the charges
against all the prisoners to the grand jury.
1t is for the grand jury to pass upon the
mems guilt or innocence" The Court
ordered that the amount Of bail should
remain as already fixed-S5,000 apiece.
Efforts to exempt Engineer Cooling from
being held over were Intellectual, as were
also attempts to have his bail reduced.
The argument of the defense was that
there had been practically no evidence
against Cooling. Among the spectators
who witnessed the conclusion of the trial
was Assistant Postmaster General Steven
son.
The three prisoners, Frederick, Bauerei-
ser and Cooling, were not allowed their
liberty on bail. Ali three were re-arrested
before moving q step. State warrants
were issued, the charge being bringing dy-
Mantle into the State OF Illinois contrary to
the laws. -

The Author of the Fourteenth Amend

INDIANAPOLIS, July IA notable de-
fection from Republicsnism is reported
to-day from Lebanon, Boone county. The
Hon. Stephen Neal originated and drafted
the original amendment known as the
fourteenth of the Constitution and for
warded it to Hon. Godlove s. Orth, then
in Washington. 1t was adopted substan-
italy as he wrote it. Thus honored he
has always felt an attachment to the Re-
publican party. He declined recently to
accompany delegation of 1910 voters to
this city and introduce them to General
Harrison, and he now declares himself
openly for Cleveland. He objects to the
tariff and whisky planks of the Chicago
platform and the tendency of the Republi-
can party to perpetuate strife and un-
friendly feeling between the North and the
South.

Grain fields were laid waste, the ahocked

The water filled with drift running to the

q number Of lives have been lost. At this
hour it is impossible to estimate the loss,
but this place and vicinity is the loser by

NEW YORK, July 19.-The First Ward

day might, received such another shock as it
expsrieuced year or more ago when Gen.
Isasc 8. Catlin, Republican war horse,
bad his name expunged from the roll book
and enlisted in the ranks of the triumphant
Democracy. Six leading members Of the
association, headed by Seth Low, who
twice led the Republicans to victory in the
Mayoralty contests, sent in their resigna-
tions. giving as q reason that they
could not support the candidates
and platform of the Chicago Con-
vsntion. They have not gone quite 80 far
as Gen. Catlin did and Joined the Demo-
cratic Association, but nevertheless they
are regarded as likely to be active and valu-
able allies of Cleveland and Thurman in
the present contest. The ex-Mayor's fell
low seceders are: William G. Low, his
half brother, John L. Moffat, George B.
Moffat G. B. Coggsbell, and Henry B.

publican party would itself undertake to

tighter the dam is made the greater will be
the destruction when the flood breaks

try 30 large as the United States can be per-
msnently held aloof from the great trade

The designations were accepted without
a dissenting voice. Mr.. Joshua M. Van
Cott expressed his surprise that the gentle
man should desert the old party on account
of such q slight difference Of opinion on
the tariff question.

Testimony Said to bs forthcoming 10 Prove That all
the Accused Brotherhood Men Now Under
Arrest are Nothing but Pink
srtpn Detectives.

CHICAGO, July ia member OF the
Grievance Committee, now in session here,
said to-day that very little was done yes
terdsy except receiving testimony, which
has been gathered relative to the dynamite
conspiracy.
1.-THE testimony is not all in" said w.
B. Haskey, Chairman of the Chicago and
Alton Committee, but we have enough to
show that Bowles, Broderick, Wilson and
Smith are all Pinkerton men. Pinkerton
has had men in our organization for years,
and they are getting in their work.
We have also learned that not
an ounce of dynamite has been ex-
ploded on the Burlington tracks.
How do we know? We have men who
know the effects of dynamite; men who
have seen an engine blown all to pieces by
a few ounces Of dynamite in the city Of
Denver, during the celebrated Denver and
Rio Grande strike. The result of the
meeting will be full and free investiga-
ton of the alleged dynamite conspiracy.
If our members are guilty they will be
turned over to the authorities. We snail
protect the integrity Of our organization
from enemies without and foes within"

Cincinnati.
CINCINNANTI, O., July 19.-Yesterday
three boys, not over 13 years old, were ar
rested near the Exposition Building,
where they had been observed attempting
to pick the pockets OF strangers. Late last
evening they made a confession, and by
their own statements showed that they
were members of regularly organized
band of young thieves. The gang was
composed of Bundy Wainwright, the lead
er, Linsey Murphy, Walter Harris, Willie
Madders, and the prisoners. Their ages
range from IL to Is years. Dixon, one of
the prisoners, stated that the gang had
been picking pockets and tapping
tills all over the city. Several
days ago they made round and tapped
the till of the drug store at the corner OF
Clark and Baymiller streets. From there
they went to Freeman, near the Oehler
Station, where they tapped the till Of
grocery. From this point they went to
The saloon at the corner of Richmond and
Day duu shO VI
its contents. From here they worked
northward, the next place being the saloon
at Franklin avenue and Liberty street.
Here they succeeded in getting several
dollars in cash.
The gang, according to the prisoners
statements, even went 30 far as to organize
a raid on the Second National Bank, at
Ninth and Main streets. 1t was arranged
that three of the gang should visit the place
about closing time, and while two of them
started q sham fight, the third was to
Chamber over the iron railing, or get through
q door, and grab bundle of money. The
boys visited the place twice, but each time
q blue-coat happened to be in the neighbor-
hood. After this attempt, Wainwright,
Murphy, Madders and Harris went to
Nashville, Tenn, where they are at present.
The case is one Of the most peculiar brought
to the attention Of the police and will re-
suit in the breaking mp of petty stealing
that has been going on for some time.
