CALLED HIM ALTAR.
Lively Row Between Judge Oates and MIR
John Devlin.

Washington, July 24.-There was live
ly scene this morning in the house just
before its assembling, and one John Del
vim, Of the executive committee Of the
knights Of Labor, came near getting q:
good blow from Judge Oates, q One-armed
veteran of the cOnfederae army, and at
present chairman of the Special commit
tee investigating the Homestead trouble
and the Pinkerton system.
The trouble grew out of CRITICISMS made
by Delvin on the conduct of yesterdays
examination of the pinkertonS and the
insinuation that an adjournment Of the
committee taken to enable members
to vote OH the deficiency appropriation
bill had been taken to give the pinker-
tons time to prime themselves With ans
wers to the questions propounded Ey the
knights of Labor The Knights of labor
men do not represent the Homestead
strikers but they hld prepared Il nIImbcr
of questions they ,lesit' TO ask the Pin
keltOnS. The proceedings of thn commit
tee were opened by Il :qGu EST tia; the
questions prepared be put 10 the witnesses
and after consultation, the members of
the committee decided, although such u
course was rather out of the usual line
of conducting an investigation, TO put
the committee would then ,sx sIch ques-
tons as any member might think rcces-
sary to secure the additional information.
The committee announced this purpose
and were then notified that they were
desired in the house to vote. They aCcor-
dinghy took Il recess and hasried The CUES
tons to the Pinkcrtons, Who, with their
attorney, took the written questions of
the knights of Labor and prepared writ
ten answers, making direct responses to
each intcrrOgatOry.
Mr.. Devlin this morning, before the
assembling of the house, approached
Judge Oates and asked for a copy Of the
testimony. He was told lie could get an
order to see the StcnOgrapher'S notes and
take points from it, or HE could obtain
Il printed copy Tuesday VI hen the report
came from the printer. Judge Oates
asked him to furnish rs sPon as possible
any names Of witnesses pc had, as the
committee desired to close The inquiry.
Mr.. Deviin then said that lie thought
the action of the committee yesterday
was most extraordinary and criticized the
committee for allowing the PinkertouA
to see the written questions and read
them before they were asked by the chair
man. His manner as well as his words
offended Judge Oates, who told him that
the committee had treated him and his
associates with extraordinary conSilcra-
ton, having given their q ucstions prece-
dcncc over those of the committee, end
that his criticism now was improper and
impcrtincnt. More words followed and
Judge Oates told Dcvlin that he night go
to hell. Dcylin charged that the commit
tee had taken q recess at the instance of
the Pinkcrtons. with the ihsinuation that
it was to enable the lawyer to prime
them. Judge Oates retorteH that this was
false, and that Dcvlin W us d-n liar
and that he Devlim lneN that he was
Il liar The two seemed about to come to
blows when members intqrposed and the
doOrkeepcrs hustled Devil in out OF The

Thus the case stood when McGarrahan,
worsted at every turn by the New Idria
Company, which fought him with his own
money, appealed to congress for relief.

The Property Involved.

Tho property involved is very valuable,
owing to the minerals 1t contains. Some
of it has been sold off by the government,
and where this is the case the court is to
determine what sum the United States
shall nav McGarrahan by way of indem-
nity as we'll for the minerals taken as for
the land held AS matter of fact there
have been sold more than $500 acres from
the tract. including about 40 acres of min
oral land to the New Idria Company and
others -.
When McGarrahan entered upon thi.
contest he was a young man. Well-to-d0, II
not rich. Today ne is an old man, and he
has been so poor for years that he has lived
on borrowed means, while his antagonists
have fattened on his property. During the
uuarter of a century that he has been be-
fore congress he has had report after re-
mort in his favor and on three separate oc-
rosions bills in his favor have passed the
h0use. but failed in the senate. This time
The bill was pushed trough the senate on
the 9th of May last. Last Monday was

The victory, gained after all these long,
weary wears of waiting for justice, broke

Senator WaShburn, who has charge OF

1t this session, but there are dozen seDa-
tors who are determined that it snail not

claim that such important legislation
