O'DONNELL IN JAIL.
Hearing of the Case Goes Over to
Monday.


PITTsBURG. July 23.-In the O'Don-
nell-Ross case today, after witnesses had
been examined for the commonwealth
without much that was new being ad-
duced, the commonwealth rested its case.
The defense through their attorneys said
according to law they had no right to
offer any testimony, and, therefore,
would not do so.
Judge Magee asked Mr.. Robb if he
had anything to say, as he did not think
it was very clear that O'Donnell had
participated in the shooting.
There can be no Doubt" said Mr.
Robb, "that this man O'Donnell was at
the head of these people who were on
the river bank in the morning when
the people on the barge tried to land,
and that while no one testified that
ODonnell said anything, there is testi-
mony that he was there and leading
those people. l do sincerely believe
that this man should be held for murder
in the first degree"
Mr.Robb here ceased, land Judge Magee
said: 81 recognize the Outrages of this
mob, and the duty of the court, but
am moved by an opinion of Judge
Roberts IN the celebrated Kensington
riots. This opinion is all excellent one.
l will not pass upon the question uutil l
read the testimony in this case"
This seemed to fall like lead upon the
feelings OF the prisoner. 1t meant at
least that he would not get out of jail
until Monday at the shortest. After the
arguments, Judge Magee adjourned
court until Monday, and the prisoners
were remanded to Jail.

OATES AROUSED.
lnsinuations by John Devlin Anger
the Georgian.


the Georgian.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-There was a
lively scene this morning in the house
just before its assembling, and John
Devlin. of the executive committee of the
Knights of Labor. came very near to
blows with Congressman Gates, the
one-armed veteran of the Confederate
army and at present chairman of the
special committee Investigating the
Homestead trouble and the Pinkerton
system. The trouble grew out of
criticisms made by Devlin on the
conduct of yesterdays examination of
the PinkertOns and an insinuatiOn
that all adjournment of the commission,
taken to enable the members to vote Oh
the deficiency appropriation bill, had
actually been taken to give the Pinker-
tons time to prime themselves with
answers to the questions propOunded
by the K. of l..
Mr.. Devlin said to Gen. Oates that he
thought the action of the committee
yesterday was most extraordinary. He
thought it strange that the Pinkertons
should be permitted to see the written
questions and read them before they
were asked by the chairman. His
manner, as we'll as his words. Of
Tended Gen. Oates, who told him
that the committee had treated him and
his associates with extraordinary con-
sideratiOn, having given their questions
precedence over those of the committee,
and that his criticism now was improper
and impairment. More words followed.
and MIR. Oates OldDevlin that he might
60 to hell.
Devlin charged that the committee
had taken this recess at the instance of
the Pinkertons. Judge Oates reported
damned liar. The two men seemed
about to come to blows when members
interposed and doorkeepers hustled
Devlin out of the hall.

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Worlds Fair Managers Expect tt
Secure a Majority.

Worlds Fair Managers Expect to
Secure a Majority.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Speaker Crisp
said this afternoon that the worlds
fair appropriation would not come up
in the house until Tuesday. 1t is the
understanding that the conferrees on
the sundry ciuil bill will make their re
port to the house Monday, but that
they will not call it up until the follow
ing day, the report going over to en-
IS s'''i begun i'i in the house, house. This
programme will enable the majority
in the house to devote most
of Monday to the Raum pension Office
report. There are over 300 amendments
to the sundry civil bill, and as they will
be considered in order it will be posi-
bic for the opposition to give consider
able trouble and perhaps cause a little
delay in reaching the worlds fair
amendment.
After decisive vote has been OBJ
tanned in the house on the worlds fair
other points in the report. and the dis
position will be to finish up the bill as
quickly as possible. The worlds
fair managers expect to have
'.showdown" on the appropriately 70 ells
and if they have such a majority with
quorum voting it, of course, settles
the matter, and it is almost equally Ger
tain that if the vote should show a clear
and decisive majority of the house
against the appropriation the senate
would yield something.
There is one thing. however, that is
n fct, ri, fo =
members who are anxious for final adj
journment, and that is that quorum
may not vote on the worlds fair item
Tuesday. A vigorous effort is being
made to recall abSentees. and to
hold for a few days longer the
members now in the city, but chatting to
get out of town. One of the active
worlds fair workers said this morning
that he was afraid that with all the
members present in the house casting
their votes quorum might not be dis
closed.
1t is certain that some members would
raise the point OF no quorum should
such happen to be the case. The
worlds fair man added that they had
kept great many of their friends here
on the assurance that the matter would
reach vote this week and now some
of them, he feared, would leave
town on the afternoon and evening
trains. This would make necessary a
call of the house and delay final action.
There are not great many members in
the house at any one time these hot
days, but on vote many new faces ap-
pear, and yesterday vote showed 200
members present and voting.
This would indicate that barring the
possibility of a filibuster by southern
members, which may or may not occur
and will continue to be matter of
speculation until the last moment, a
quorum will be here Thursday. even
though some of those now in the city
take their departure. 1t is expected that
some additional members will arrive
in the city in time to vote Tuesday and
render possible an adjournment of con-
gress next week, and the fact that the
Raum report is ready to be called up
will tend to swell the congressional at
| tendance, the adoption of the resolu-
ton urging Commissioner Raum's dis
missal being in the line of Democratic
| party policy.

be sustained by the courts. but it would
completely destroy the system which
had grown up in the country in the last
twenty years. and under which COM
blnatiOnS of men, and sometimes one
man, could sell in a single day in
fictitious lots ten times the total annual
yield of the country.
Mr.. Hiscock opposed the bill. Who
were the men, he asked, who were an
athametiZed and characterized as GRIM
inals by those who were pressing this
merchants, the capitalists, the men who
had developed the great and growing
West which now complained against
their commercial methods. Their
money, their enterprise. their genius
had built up great lines of transporta
ton, and had built $50 we saw new
states. They were the pioneers of
progress in this country, as merchants
were in every civilized nation, and yet
these men were characterized as COM
mon gamblers, who debauched the
young and who tempted men to embez-
Element.
Mr.. Washburn denied that he had
ever included such men in his denunci-
ations. He had referred only to men
who had no capital, and who sold what
they had not got.
Mr.. Hiscock said that these men
whom he had described from the state
of New York and the state of Mime
sofa were protesting to congress against
the bill, and he refer red to the petition
from the bankers of Minneapolis pre-
scented today by Mr.. Davis expressing
fears of the effect of the bill ON the
value of the great agricultural products
and general business interests of the
great Northwest.
This bill, he continued, was the basis
of the most gigantic trust ever COIL
ceived by human intelligence, and it
would sweep into political oblivion ev-
cry man who had promoted it. 1t tram
pied down the common law of the
country. 1t stuck at individual lib
erty. 1t struck at the right
of individuals to make contracts.
That was its spirit and its purpose. lie
believed that it was fraught with the
greatest danger, inasmuch as it would
make precedent for allowing congress
to WELD the power of Jove over the
American people. Under the taxing
power congress could rule or ruin every
Individual and community and state in
the Union. The bill would be the basis
of one of the most cruel and rapacious
trusts and expressions of the people
that ever existed among any people.
The bill went over until Monday,
when MIR. George is to make an argu-
ment in its support.
MI. Frye, from the committee on
commerce, reported bill appropriating
S250.000 for tine construction of ship
canal to connect the waters of Lakes
Union and Washington with Puget
Sound, and 100000 for facilitating
transportation between Lake Washing
ton and Puget sound, and it was placed
on the calendar. Adjourned.

THEY FOOLED THE POLICE.
How Two New York Newsies Took
a Swim in City Hall Park.


New York Morning Advertiser.
Two small newsboys swimming
about the tank at the fountain in City
Hall park attracted the attention of the
restful population of that locality the
other afternoon. The thermometer was
putting in its "best licks;" the surging
crowd of home-goers was passing
through the park, and the men who
sweep cocoOns off the tree trunks were
making dabS at their prey.
The crowd of newsboys and other
urcgins ''dared' a small-boned lad of
He took hasty glance about for blue
or gray coats, and then slyly tossed his
hat out to where it fioated in the middle
of the pool. Slowly, and as if with re-
luctance, he "boosted'' himself over the
edge of the crater.
To bystander who started excitedly
forward he shouted: 1--WE got ter get
me hat. haven't II" and padded smil-
ingly out toward the floating headgear.
This pleased the boys, and youngster
of six or seven, who, like the others,
was barefooted and dressed apparently
in nothing bat a shirt waist and a pair
of tattered knickerbockers, climbed up
and sat on the stone coping. He pad
died with his feet in the water, and was
enjoying sensations fit for the gods,
when all Italian youth, with a nose
straight down his face like finger put
on sideways. deliberately pushed him
into the water. Then there was a
scramble.
The little fellow finally made up his
mind, philosopher like, to make the best
of his watery surroundings, and started
in on four-lap swimming race around
the fountain. He swan most of the
time with his head under water, lifting
it to breath only when actually neces-
sary.
Finally some of the grimy urchins
raised the Cry. DE cop!' and the two
natatOrial artists swung themselves
gracefully over the coping to the flags
outside and stopped away toward the
postoffice, with clothes dripping, but
with the most expansive of grins on
their now clean faces.

PITTsBURG. July 23.-When the news
that Mr.. Frick had been shot and seri-
ously wounded reached the headquar-
tiers of the Union mill workers this aft
ernoon, the men were loud in their de-
nunciationS of the assassin.
Thomas Warren. one of the press
committee, said: ''Therc is not a mill
worker or laborer in this entire section
that does not deeply deplore the shoot
ing of Mr.. Frick. Our fight against MIR.
Prick is fair one, and we have only
employed fair means. We never court
ed for an instant any violence against
the officials of the company"
President Weihe, of the Amalgamated
association, was much affected over the
news. He said: sit was with the ut
most regret that l heard of the shoot
ing of Mir. Prick, and | emphatically
denounced the action of the assailant.
He was an assassin at heart and an
enemy not only to the country but to
organized labor all over the United
States. l hope the greatest punishment
tine law allows will be the reward of the
dastardly and cowardly assailant of MI.
Frick."
The situation at the upper and lower
Union mills, LaWrencevllle, IS practl-
cally unchanged. Both sides are conf
dent. and will fight to finish. The
mills are still shut down, and apparently
it is impossible to start them.
Less than score of non union men
have offered their services, and these,
with several exceptions, were harmless
as far as the cause of the strikers is con-
cerned.
The work of the company in enli5ting
nOn-unlOn men is being undOne by the
committees of the strikers. Committees
are appointed to look after each class of
workmen, whose duty is to watch, and
if necessary, consult with the men of
those trades in the city and vicinity
Thus the entire field of workmen is COW
cred and the leaders of the strikers
fully informed.
There was no change in Mr.. Tricks
condition at midnight. He was COM
Portable, and the physicians say he will
recover from the wounds unless in
flammation or something unforeseen
develops. Up to until ten days
ago he had been receiving from
one to ten crank letters daily, but they
suddenly ceased. Yesterday, however,
there was one in his mail which mott
fed him he had but twenty-four hours
to live. 1t is probable the letter came
from Berkman. The authorities are
now Investigating 1t.

ing OF FLICK.
PITTSBURG, July 23.-Berkman was
seen in his cell by a reporter this even
ing. He shows no signs of excitement,
and coolly expressed his disappointment
when informed of Mr.. tricks probable
recovery.
''What did you shoot him for?" he
was asked
''What did shoot HIM for, ha? That's
a nice question to ask. Do you know of
any person in this world who is the
better or the happier for his ever hay
ing lived? | can find you thousands
whom he made miserable. Out in

fering the pangs of hunger. Whose
fault is it? Mr.. Tricks. Thousands

whose fault is it? Mr.. Tricks. Six
workingmen were buried here last
week. Who killed them? Mr.. Prick.

Berkman began to walk eXcitedly up
and down his cell, his face turned to
the floor. He stopped at the door, again
drew his hand through his hair and
smiled.
Il suppose he said. "you are going
to describe me as a red-hot anarchist /?

JUDGE sAIRAs' CHANGES.
CONFIRMATION Is Possible, but Not
Probable


Probable.
WASHINGTON. July 23.-There is a
difference of opinion among Democrat
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of defeating or
pOstpOning the nomination of Mr.. Shiras.
Senator Cameron's missionary work, it
is said, has caused some of the Demo-
cratic senator's, and especially the men,
bers of the committee on Judiciary. to
believe that by delaying confirmation of
MIR. Sbiras until after the election i'm
November possibility opens up to Sc
cure Democratic member for the SUI
preme court in the event that Mr..
Cleveland should be elected. In this
oeAef 1t is said that the opposition to
MI. ShlraS confirmation is growing,
until today it was said by one Democrat
that the probabilities were it would be
successful.
On the other hand, however, it was
pointed out by Democrat who asked
about the matter, that even we've Mr..
Cleveland elected in November that
would not prevent President Harrison
from renominating Mr.. Shiras when
congress reassembled, and nothing
could then, in all probability, defeat his
confirmation: So that the net result of
the delay today would be to deprive the
sociate justice for some two or three
months i'll the next fall term. Alto
gether, this Democrat was not inclined
to place much credence in the probable
defeat OF the nomination at this session.
Senator Platt expects to leave Wash
ingtOn next Wednesday. Then Sena-
sor Mitchell would be the only Repub-
lican member of the committee on the
Judiciary remaining in the city. But
the friends nf Mr.. Chime IN
the nomination out of the committee
before then and when it is accomplished
they confidently expect its confirmation
to follow.
A conversation today between Sena-
tors Cameron and George, the latter
member of the committee on the ju-
dietary, leads to the belief that there
will be no further delay in reporting
the nomination, but that the matter
will be disposed of at the meeting of
the committee on Monday, its regular
meeting day.

Specific Contracts Payable in

Hot Debate.
Hansbrough, of North Dakota
Eulogizes the Anti
Option Bill.
Frank Hiscock MuSters Vim
Enough to Paint a Dis
NAL Picture.

WASHINGTON, July ga debate in
volving the question of specific con-
tracts payable in gold was precipitated
in the senate today in an unexpected
manner, and continued until it was
crowded out by the anti-option bill. 1t
happened in this way: just before the
adjournment OH Friday unanimous con-
sent had been given to have house
bill iii regard to judgments of United
States courts taken UP and acted on
during the morning hour today.
The fact had been overlooked that on
previous occasion the bill had been
before the senate. and that an amend
ment had been offered to it by Mr.. Tel
Ter and was still pending, making such
judgments payable in legal tender
money, although the contract may
have stipulated for payment in
gold. The amendment was strenuously
opposed by Messrs. Sh herman and Hig
gins. and was stoutly defended and
advocated by Messrs. Palmer, Morgan
and Turpin. When the morning hour
expired the bill and amendment went
over without action, and the bill re-
Sumed its place on the calendar.
The anti-optiOn bill occu pied the
attention of the senate during the rest
of the afternoon.
Northwestern Reno INSTANCES.
RemonOtrances against the passage
of the anti-option bill were presented
by Mr.. Cullom from Springfield and
Rock Island, ILL.,, signed by bankers,
merchants. business men and farmers.
and by Mr.. Davis from the bankers and
business men of Minneapolis. The
letter was signed by the presi-
dents of the National Bank of
Commerce, First National bank, City
bank and Irish-American bank. 1t eX-
presses fears of the effects of the bill
upon the value of the great farm prod
ucts OF the country. and upon the great
business Interests of the great North
west. An accompanying note states
that the sentiment against the bill is
about unanimous.
MI. Sherman introduced a bill for the
creation of tribunal on international
relations. Referred.
Mr.. Morgan introduced bill to pro-
vide for government control of the
Union and Central Pacific Railroad
companies until their debts to the gov
ernment are fully paid up or secured.
