DEMPSEY INDICTED.
He Must Stand Trial for the Alleged
Homestead Poisoning,

PITTsBURG, Dec. 2l.-A true bill was
found by the Grand Jury this afternoon
against ii. F. Dempsey, district master
workman OF the Knights of Labor, and
Patrick Gallagher, Davidson and Beatty,
charged with being implicated in the Nome
stead poisoning cases.
Edward G. Christy of the Carnegie Steel
Company says so far as the company has
been able to learn the number of persons
who have died from the effects of poison is
thirty-tw0. But many other workmen. some
OF whom will appear at the trial, are dying,
but are yet on their feet. He declares the
company, since it began the Investigation,
has been startled by the number of letters
from non-union workmen from all over the
country who became sick at Homestead and
returned to their homes. Many are still
sick. OF 1900 employed by the company
over 2000 became sick.
A special from East Liverpool, Ohio,
says: A story of attempted and partially
successful wholesale poisoning, similar TO
that alleged at Homestead. comes from
New Cumberland. w. Va, a large number
OF HuDgarians imported TO take the places
OF striking workmen in the extensive Por-
ter brick works being the victims.

A POLICY OF DELAY.
How the Democrats Are Preventing
New Legislation.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-The measure
under consideration in the House to-day
known as the omnibus lighthouse bilP is
of great interest to the Pacific Coast as it
carries an aggregate appropriation of
S131, 900, as follows: At the mouth of the
Willamette River, Oregon, light and
fog-signal, rot to cost more than 5000; at
Grays Harbor, Washington, a first-order
lighthouse and fog-sigDal, at cost not 10
exceed SEQ 1000. in addition TO an appropria-
tion of S15J00 made in the act approved on
July Z, 1884.
At twenty-five different points on the
Willamette River, between the cities of
Salem and Portland. Or. beacon lights aud
buoys, at cost not exceeding 5000; on
North Head. Cape disappointment. in the
State of Washington. first order light
house, not TO cost more than $4,000; at
New York Slough. at the entrance of the
San Joaquin River. in California. n light
and fog-signal at a cost not exceeding
$4,000.
After some debate in the House to-day it
became manifest that the Democrats would
never permit the bill to pass, and it was
therefore sidetracked and another bill from
the same committee taken up for cousidera-
tion. This also carried an appropriation,
and Holman, aided by his confederates, sue
cessfully filibustered against 1t by raising
the point of "uo quorum" and the house,
finding itself unable to do business, ad-
journed early in the afternoon.
The leading Republicans of the House are
very much exaspprated at the procras;i-
mating policy Of the majority. ME Reed of
Maine. in one of the c!oakrooms, lost his
temper completely to-day and said some
very uncomplimentary things of the Demo-
cratic leaders.
Representatives Loud. Hilborn and Bow
ers of California feel sure that this Con-
gress intends TO do nothing at all In the WAY
OF new legislation. Tho regular appropri-
alton bills will be cut down to the lowest
possible notch, so that the tariff may be re-
duced.
The Custom-honse tug bill. It was ex-
pected, would be passed to-day, but the
House adjourned before reaching It, IL Is
not sure that the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee will secure another
day for the consideration of Its bills.
Altogether this was not good day for the
coast. Appropriations for this region
sggregatlng S1S1.000 were defeated by the
Damocrats

CARNOT'S NAME.
For the First Time the President Is
Brought Into the Scandal,

PARIS, Dec. 21.-ln the Senate to-day the
special committee reported in favor of au-
thorizing the Procurer-G General to proceed
against Senators Renault, Albert Grevy,
Beral, Tbeyenet and Deyes on account of
their connection with the Panama canal
frauds. Theveuet who is ex-Minister Of
Justice, sOlemnly affirmed that he never re-
eeiVed one centine from the Panama Canal
Company, directly or indirectly.
The parliamentary commission OF in
ouiry learned to-day that bond for 500, 900
francs, payable to bearer, had been given to
DR.. Herr as compensation for his services ip
advertising" The examining magistrate
has impounded all tTaceable bons au porteur
and all of Reinach's letters relating to Pan
ana canal affairs in 1890 and 1891, as we'll rs
q document written by M. Barbe, acknowl-
edging the receipt of GOO. coo francs from the
Panama canal people.
Vlasso. who is implicated in the Panama
accusations, has started for Cologne.
The commission has decided to examine
Meyves- Guyot, Radical Deputy for the De-
partment ofthe Seine, TO learn whether or
not he said recently that list of the COM
promised members of Parliament had been
submitted to President Caruot. This is the
first official mention of President Carnot's
name In direct connection with the scandal
Many believe that secret and hostile mo-
tive is res ponsive for its introduction now.

of apprehension. The friends of both are
loud in predictions of victory.
The report that Clemenceau and De-
roulede have serious intentions as TO the
duel tomorrow is fully confirmed by later
adyices. The conditions agreed upon will
show the two 70 be remarkably lacking in
nerve If there is no fatal result They are
to fight with pistols. They will be sta
toned twenty-five yards apart, but with the
privilege of advancing to five PAGES. As
both are considered good shots, it is gener-
ally believed that one or both will be killed.
Deputies Thompson and Menard Deerian
Will second Clemenceau in both of his en-
counters. Dumentiel and Baries will rep
resent Deroulde, and Jourre and Coussod
will take care of Millevoye's interests. AS
all concerned are Deputies, the duels can
take place nywhere, as the participants are
exempt from prosecution.
Late tonight it was reported on The street
that the Deroulede- -Clemenceau duel had not
yet been arranged. Deroulede, although
accepting Clemenceau's conditions, desires
to have the affair referred to a court Of
arbitration, which shall decide who was the
offender, and the duel has consequently
been postponed indefinitely.
1t is stated this evening that hundred
checks bearing the names of Senators and
deputies have been secured by the examin-
ing magistrate.

AN IMMENSE PURSE.
McAuliffe and Burge to Fight for
FOrty-Five Thousand Dollars.
The Biggest Prize Ever Offered to Pu-
gilists Since the Days When
Figg Was King.
Special 10 THE MORNING. CALL.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2L-One of the largest
purses ever offered for two pugiIists since
the days of the celebrated fighter Figg was
hung up tonight for the pugilists Jack Nc
Aullffe and Dick Burge by the Coney Island
Athletic Club. Tie sum offered is purse
of S45. 600. This latest bid completely over
tops the $4,000 purse of the Crescent City
Club of New Orleans, hung up on Wednes-
day morning. and will undoubtedly create
a big sensation in sporting circles. The
purse was extended for the light-w eights
for their acceptance tonight. The only
persons present were McAullffe, Eddie
Stoddard, his trainer, Judge Newton. repre-
sentiDg the Coney Island Athletic Club,
Phil Dwyer aud Frank Williams, of the
Crescent City Athletic Club. McAuliffe
asked Newton if he proposed to raise the
ante of $50, ,000
YES" replied the Judge. II do, and my
bid is S45,000."
McAuliffe asked Captain Williams what
he had to say in the way OF raising ;he
amount, and the latter said he would have
to telegraph his club before be could bid
higher.
McAulIffe then said that he would sign
articles of agreement to fight Burge before
the Coney Island Club for the $40, 600 purse,
providing that sjipdlatiuns be made in the
document that Dick Roche, his baeker,
would approve the match. Articles of
agreement were Immediately drawn up and
signed. The agreement stipulates that both
men are TO fignt al 153 pounds for the cham
pionship of the world.
Captain Williams has not yet received a
reply from his club. but as Burge has al
ready signed it looks as if the North would
be the scene of the battle.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Bill to Guarantee It's
Bonds.
INTRODUCED BY SHERMAN.
How 1t Is Proposed to Protect the
Government in the Event of the
COmpany's Default.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The Nicaragua
canal bill reported by Senator Sherman
to-day is drawn on substantially the same
lines AS the bill reported from the commit
tee to the last Congress, Including as ii does
the proposition to guarantee the bonds of
the company to the extent of $780, 600, 600 to
aid in the construction of the canal. The
new bill. however, contains some additions,
which Increase the obligations of the COM
pany as well as give better security to the
Government For instance, the real and
personal property and franchises of the
company are included in the liabilities, and
it is provided that all stock heretofore sub
scribed for or issued shall be called In and
cancelled that all bonds issued be redeemed
and Cancelled, and that all outstanding obli-
cations shall be satisfied before the act takes
effect.
The dates are changed to make the bonds
issue in January, 1893 and mature in 1853
but they are also made redeemable at tho
pleasure of the United States after 1913.
The section requiring the company to
execute mortgage TO the United States as
security for the guarantee is amended by
the addition Of clause requiring the mort
gage to contain provision for sinking
fund for the payment of the bonds at
maturity. If the company default in the
payment OF Interest or in other respects
before the canal is put in operation, the
right OF foreclosure shall at once attach in
favor of the United States The bill ex-
cludes from the expenditures that may be
taken into account the consideration paid
or agreed to be raid TO the Nicaragua Con-
struction Company or other parties for ex-
penditures By them, and for concessions to
Costa Rica, and the total amount, principal
and interest, of bonds that may be issued
for the first payment is fixed at Sc, 600, 600,
instead of S4,000,000 as in the original bill.
Perhaps the most important changes in
the bill are those made in the section rela-
tive TO the issue of stock. In the new bill
this is limited to S100, coo, ,000-Sl2 Oo0. 900 to
be retained by the old company = the
amount stipulated to be delivered 10 the
Governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
according 10 concessions, and the remainder
to be issued 20 the United States, full paid
and not subject to assessment. This stock
Is to be voted by the President of the
United States or his proxy at stockholders
meetings. and but five directors are to be
selected from holders of stock other than
that owned by the United States In the
last section an amendment is made so that
ten instead of six of the fifteen directors
shall be appointed by the President of the
United States, not more than five of whom
shall be from one political party,

BRIGGS OBJECTS.
The Prosecution Is Constantly Bring
ing in New Matter

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-In the Briggs trial
this morning DIR. Briggs presented an ex-
ception to the proceedings OF yesterday, in
that DR.. Lampe. under the cloak of rebuttal
testimony, introduced a large amount OF
new evidence and new matter. The new
evidence submitted was In the form Of ex-
tracts from Professor. Smiths writings,
John Bulls catechism and the Life of
Calvln. The new matter introduced by
Lampe consisted of arguments on meta
physical categories and other points. Briggs
further objected TO the proceedings because
three-fourths of the statements submitted
were in reference 10 the original inaugural
address and other matters considered by the
prosecution in its opening argument and
only one-fourth referred 10 questions con-
sidered In Briggs reply. The exception
was hled. and Lampe then resumed reading
de quoted from Chillingworth. Henry Ham,
mond. John White and other ministers of
Westminster Assembly to prove that they
held 10 the belief that the Scriptures were
verbally inspired.
Lampe went on to say that all the errors
that Briggs says Biblical scholars find in
the Bible have been known for generations.
Through new discoveries made in Bible
lands these difficulties are disappearing one
after another. What the prosecution claimed
was that when the Bible did assign an
author to particular book. its decision
must be regarded as final. The belief has
been held for upward OF 5000 years that so
lar as human agency was concerned the
Pentateueh was the work of Moses. That
belief could not be thrown aside without
the clearest evidence OF its untrustworthi-
ness. In the New Testament Christ accepts
as genuine history the account of the cre-
alton, of Noah and the food. of Sodom and
Gomorrah and of the calling of Moses
Lampe then assailed at length the claim Of
the highest critics that the Pentateuch
was written by number Of Independent
authors.

PACIFIC TAIL SUBSIDY.
Mr.. Bowers Is Not Trying to Have
1t Taken Away.
And the FELTON, Resolution Is Allowed
to Slumber Peacefully in Its
Pigeon-Hole.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-THE CALL cor
respondent asked Representative. Brook
shire of Indiana to-day if the sub-commit-
tee of the Committee on Postofices and
Post Roads intended to take any further
notice of Bowers resolution Of the last
session, directing that the subsidy contract
with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
| be annulled by the Postmaster General, on
! account of the non- fulfillment of its pro-
visions. Brookshire said thatif Mr.. Bowers
| had pressed the matter the committee would
| certainly have sifted it TO the bottom, even
| il special trip of the committee to Cslifor-
| MIA would have been necessary but Bowers
| who was more interested than any one else
| had seen fit to let the thing drop and tie
| inference was that the subject was not
worth pursuing. Mr.. Brookshre said he
thought the whole postal subsidy law would
be repealed by the next Congress anyhow.
Being asked about the matter, Mfr.
Bowers said to CALL representative:
The Pacific Mail Company is now stop
ping at San Diego to- unload and receive
freight and passengers for South American
ports, and this was what l was fighting
| for"
DR.. Bowers admitted, however, that the
| steamship company refused to give rates or
| to accept freight between California ports
and New York City, and that it had eveR
| decIiaed to haul freight aad passengers be-
| tween San Francisco and Southern Cali
fornia ports; but he says he has enough to
do to attend to the particular needs of his
own district, and that the San Francisco
members should get after the Pacific Mail
Company If anybody is to do it. Bowers
does not believe that the next Congress will
repeal the postal subsidy law.
THE Democrats Will in the next Congress
pursue the same do-nothing policy that
ley have adopted for this session." said
he to-day.
At the other end of the capitol there

Commerce Committee, Senator Felton's
resolution prohibiting the Government from
granting a subsidy to any steamship
or other company or corporation that ac-
cepts bonus from any other company OF
corporation. Mr.. FELTON, announced some
time ago that he was going to press his reso-
luton, but he has not done Sc. Perhaps he
realizes that it would be impossible to- ac-
compiish anything, as the Commerce Com
mittee of the Senate has among its men,

THE REVOLUTION IS HERE.
There Is in the Air Suggestion of the
Reign of Terror,

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The Paris CORES pom
dent Of the Times SAYS "The Paris papers
betray a general ill-concealed consterna-
tion. The Debats says that Tuesdays sit
ting of the Chamber was the most painful
since 1871, a vague, heavy suspicion weigh
ing like stOrmclond on all heads, recalling
the famous days OF a century ago" Cas-
sagnac says in PAutorite: 1t is a clear in
dieation that we are In the midst Of revolu-
ton. The Chamber has just donned tile
boots OF she convention.
The Paris correspondent Of the Telegraph
says that the public is in a state Of feversh
expectancy. The ominous expression ''La
premiere charrette." suggestive of the gull
lotine and the reign OF terror has been used
in reference to the first batch Of Senators
and Deputies to be sacrificed in the Panama
affair. The general question is. Who will
be the occupants Of the next tumbril? The
decoration and Boulanger scandals are not
to be compared with the present crisis.
