After several more questions, to which
the witness gave entirely unsatisfactory

the stand, and Attorney Clunie arose to
make statement TO the court He said
that while the testimony submitted was
rather disjointed as yet, his associates and
himself hoped TO prove before the inquiry
was ncluded that Senator Jerry Ma

spiracy TO stuff the great register; and also
expected tn show that bv an agreement
between MahOney, Jack Perry and the
witness fraudulent names mad baen

Kowalsky, who had put in an appearance
in the courtroom, arose and stated that he

prosecution objected ana Kowalsky called
for the complaint. A Searcn was made for
the document land it was then discovered
that il had mysteri0usly disappeared. No
one knew what bad become of it and
matters were apparently at standstill.
Attorney Kowalsky again arose and
made further appeal for a con-

r1ade Its First Appearance at Trinity
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The nrst appearance Of The Trinity Presbyte-
Ran Sunday-school orchestra took place last
night In the church. al the corner of Twenty
third and Capp streets. There was large au-
oence present and applause was frequent.
Ihe orchestra really acquitted itself in very
credltabie manner Ii was not TO be expected
that forty young performers and most OF them
were quite young, would all play perfectly in
time, but some Of the instruments made no
slips In their information. and The youthful con-
dueior, I: p. Foster, showed real talent in
leading his men.
He conducted firmly and with vim. and the
expression aud spirit put into some OF the
pieces performed were good deal BITTER than
are often found IN much more experienced
Orchestras. The compositions rendered were
an overture, Pandora" by Puerner; grand
selections from THE Bohemian Girl" and
robin Hood" ;a'Festival March" by Mendels
sohn," and TWO numbers for strings, as well
as couple OF e1cores.
The vocal solOists were: Miss Charlotte

Southern Pacific Trying to Revive

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Another effort will

Passenger Association. aud The meeting
for that purpose may be held in Chicago
Oh November Is, although the date is not
certain. The Southern Pacific i, as be-
fore, the principal mover in the scheme,
ana it is understood that it will make con-
siderable concessions 10 the direct Cali
f0rDia lines 10 induce them to enter the
association.
These concessions must be of q very
tangible sort TO get the Atchison into any
plan for the reorganization of the ass0cia-
ton. This road is not at the present time
in a position to enter into any association
obligations, nor will it be until the present
troubles between the stockholders are
finally adjusted. The Union Pacific, too,
has objections. and they will take some
time 10 remove.
Altogether the prospects for the revival
Of the sssocia ion are not brighter than al
the time when the Southern Pacific tried
to warm it into life two months ago.

Mr.. k0walsky objected to the bail as ex-

The "stuffing" case proper was then
taken up and Ernest Hinkelman was re-

DEMOCRATIC FINANCIERING.

The Free Wool Amendment.

u.
The action of the house OF representa-
tives in voting to put wool on the
free list as soon as the Wilson bill shall
become a law Is humiliating defeat
for the majority Of the ways and means
committee. 1t is an indication of the dis
satisfaction which that measure has ex-
cited even among its ostensible support
ers. 1t shows how slender is the cord
which binds together the discordant forces
back of the free trade bill. Chairman Will
son made no attempt to conceal his mort
ification and surprise over the defeat OF
his amendment.
The vote to make wool free as soon as
the Wilson bill shall have been passed and
signed is striking refutation Of Chairman
Wilson's repeated claim that the proposed
law is simply protection in a modified
form. The free trade amendment was
offered by Representative johnson Of Ohio
and it gives the great wool interests, in
volving millions of capital and the well
fare of thousands of farmers. no quarter.
The fact that such summary measure re-
ceived the support Of a majority Of the
Democratic members Of the house is proof
that the revolutionary element is domi-
nant in that body. Yesterdays action in
the house makes IL imperative that a
resolute stand should be taken against
the Wilson bill In the senate.

DEMOCRATS DENOUNCE 1T.

In the evening session Of the house
last night Congressman Sibley of Pen
nsylvania, lifelong Democrat, took
the floor against the Wilson bill. His
speech was one Of the most singing
condemnations of the bill yet uttered on
the floor during the entire discussion.
He said he was not an ardent admirer
of the Wilson bill, but he thought it was
probably as good bill as could be con-
cocted by one college professor and 10
lawyers. When he, On the 18th Of
August last, voted with the minority
against the repeal Of the silver bill, MIR.
Wilson had predicted the dawn of new
era of prosperity. But nothing followed
the passage of the repeal bill bnt
paupers, poverty and ruin. Mr.. Wilson,
he said again, predicted that the sun of
prosperity would rise on the country
when the tariff bill was passed. II the
gentleman from West Virginia
would lift the lid and look
down to the bottom of hell
it would look bright to him.
Mr.. Sibley said he was willing to vote
for revenue bill, but the present bill
was only cross between the highest
protection and the rankest free trade,
and, like all hydrids, possessed all the
vices of both parents without the vir-
tues Of either. The bill will cause de-
ficit Of $75, 900, 900 yer.
He criticised severely the action Of
Secretary Carlisle in issuing bonds to
make good the existing deficit. and he
declared that the American people were
bondsmen until these bonds were all
paid. Year after year, he said, there
would be steadily increasing national
debt until the tariff was arranged to
provide the necessary revenue.
All these things that Sibley charges
are true. The Wilson bill is neither
one thing or another. Condemned by
its enemies and damned with faint praise
by its friends it will yet pass the house
and stand as a monument of error to re-
buke the party guilty of placing it up
on the statute books.
Its condemnation by the nation is at
hand however, and before another win
ter's snow has fallen the people will
have authorized its destruction.

position which 1t now occupies on the
bond question. II they fail to act
promptly and wisely, they will put in
the hands of their opponents weapon
which will be used against them with
deadly effect, and against which they
will have no defence. Already the
Republican press has opened fire, as
witness this telling shot f.om the New
York Tribune"
Thirty three years ago the Democratic party
went out OF power borrowing money TO meet treas
ury dehcit created by its Incompetence. Within
year after its return 10 power, great dehcit
created by its Incompetence again compels II 70
borrow Further, IL Is compelled TO use for that
necessity Republican law enacted Is years
ago, which was for years denounced
In every Democratic meeting at the
West and South as a shameless robbery OF the peo-
pie for the benefit Of bondholders, and Is forced TO
employ this same old act because, as its chairman
Of the finance committee in the senate publicly con.
fesses, the Democratic party, through It's faetiona
divisions Is incompetent To pass any act Tor the re-
lief of the treasury the defence OF the public
credit. Humiliation could hardly be more COM
plete.
THE NEWS has already showed how
Democratic history has repeated itself
on the tariff question, and the
unless he Democratic congress gets to
work pretty rapidly it will repeat itself
in financial questions.
One hardly wonders that the Demo-
cratic members of congress are loath to
take up this question of borrowing
money to meet the current expenses OF
government while they are en-
gagged busily in attempting to pass a
bill that will create the deficit that the
bond issue is expected to partially cover.
They are now engaged in cutting
down revenue. After they get big
deficit on their hands they viii, so the
leaders think, have time enough to con-
slider bond issue.
