the Senate employees, and was informed
that 1t had been stricken out.
Government Printing Office site.
Mr.. Sherman (Ohio) moved to recede from
the Senate amendments for the purpose of
a site for the government printing Office,
and urged that the whole matter be strick-
Ell out and referred to the committee on
public buildings and grounds thus leaving
the matter open for another year.
Mr.. Cockref and Mr.. Vest, chairman Of
grounds. urged the acceptance of the House
amendment and the immediate construction
of new printing office before another ca
tastrophe similar to that at Ford's Theater
occurred and led to Congress being again
'lanpooRed and public officers indicted for

On motion of Mr.. Cockrell the Senate
insisted on all its amendments except on

The House Will Remain to Pass tn,
Popgun Bills.
Mr.. Cleveland Would Otherwise Call
Congress Together and Keep 1t
Here Until Sonnet thing is Done.

Congress will probably be in session for
month or two months more The demo-
Gratis Of the House stand practically pledged
to prolong the session until the Senate has
acted upon their free list bills. which they
have determined to pass to relieve them
selves as far as possible from the terrible
shock OF the defeat they have received at
the hands of the Senate. 1t is believed il
would have been impossible to get the
House TO accept the Senate amendments. as
they have decided to do. il this show Of
keeping up the fight had not been made.
The band of administration men who held
out at the caucus against yielding to the
Senate was small but there were many
who voted for the Crisp resolutions because
Of the provision carried in it for keeping I'D
the fight.
Cleveland and His Defeat
1t is not believed that Mr.. Cleveland will
take the defeat administered to him by
Mr. German in any very good spirit If
there were no further chance to keep up
the fight for what he wants after the ac-
oeptance of the Senate bill by the House
little doubt is entertained that he would
veto the bill. But with the House deter
minedly struggling for the enactment of
the legislation which he demands the sit
there may be no promise of results
VIII Resist an Adjournment.
1t is the present purpose of the democrats
to resist an adjournment until something
is done. They may weaken in this resclu-
ton when they find that nothing can be
done with the Senate. but If they do and
congress adJourns without final action on
the 'pop-gun' bills IL is believed thar
Cleveland will call them back In session at
cnce and keep them until something has
been accomplished or until 1t is time for the
next session. 1t is believed that he is so
determined in his purpose not to accent the
defeat that he would call Congress Together
time and time again as fast as they could
adjourn If they refused to act
An Expected Deadlock
Thre is little doubt that as soon as the
tariff bill has been signed or vetoed. the
quorum in the Senate will be broken ana
II is thought that it will not be possible TO
get one again to act en- any new tariff bills.
The spectacle is promised of the House
refusing to adjourn and the Senate refusing
to do any business. Such q deadlock is
expected. Briefly put the action of the
caucus was surrender to the Senate with
the declaration that the fighting would be
begun again as soon as a new line of battle
&C uld be formed,
1t was only by a flank movement by the
chairman of the caucus, made at the slly-
session of Mr.. Brookshire that the caucus
this morning was saved from being a fail
ure. Mr.. Cochran got the floor with the
determination of talking the entire time
away, in order 10 prevent the House from
yielding to the Senate amendments and he
was taken from the floor only by the chair
man recognizing some one to make a mo-
ton to limit debate to five minutes for each
speech, and by declaring the motion carried
without taking. time for ceremony.

THE SENATE.


The counter attraction lin the House in
shape of tariff skirmish resulted in a
much smaller attendance " visitors in the
Senate than during THO, past few days.
The Conference report onsthe sundry civil
blu, announcing agreement on some items
and disagreement on 6thets. was laid be-
fore the Senate and adopted SO far as the
agreements were concerned Among the
amendments to which "a disagreement was
reported was that providing for the pur-
chase of the Malone lot for a new govern
ment printing office.
Mr. Sherman of Ohio moved to recede
from this amendment but before action
was taken on this motion the Senate, at
1920 pm, went into executive session on
motion of Mr. Gray.
At l245 the doors were reopened and the
following House bills We're passed:

THE GOODMAN CASE.
The Prosecution Rests Its Case To-
day. ...5 .t4@ 100


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star .....,. -.-
CONVICTION. Va, August 13.-To the
surprise of every one In attendance upon
the trial Of Capt. T. A. Goodman for the
murder of Col. H. c. Parsons on June ~
last the commonwealth rested it's case at
neon today. 1t was thought that at least
the entire day would be occupied with wit
nesses for the prosecution. but ruling by
Judge Moore this morning placed counsel
for the people in some discontinue 1t was
to the effect that testimony tending to show
grudge on the part of Parsons toward
Goodman was not admissible; only that
testimony giving proof of a personal diff
Guilty between the prisoner and Parsons
growing out of cruel treatment on the part
of the former toward the latters daughter
would be admitted.
The first witness this morning WAS Mr.
w. E. Allen. the commemorative attorney,
who testified as to the alleged blood spots
on the guide book picked up near the spot
where the tragedy occurred.
Mr. Parrish, on crcss-examination, COM
PEELED the witness to admit that he was
rot certain the red spots on the book were
blood spots, as he did not make chemical
examination of them.
Then came Miss Camilla j. Dodge a
member of the Parsons family. draped In
deep mourning, and leaning on the arm of
of Mrs. Parsons.
The first question put to Miss Dodge was
in reference to the difficulty between the
prisoner and Col. Parsons growing out of
the refusal Of the former to pass a daugh-
ter of the latter on his train without a
pass.
This resulted in pitched battle between
opposing counsel the defense Directing
strenuously to the question. After consd-
cradle discussion of the question the judge
rendered the above decision and Miss Dodge
was told to stand aside.
This is the second futile attempt of the
prosecution to introduce this witness.
At this point, Mr.. Allen, for the common
wealth announced that the prosecution rest
ed. This took the defense by surprise, and
Mr.. Parrish of that counsel asked the Judge
to take recess until 2:3O pm, which was
done. -
The principal witness for the defense viii
be the prisoner himself. 1t Is not thought,
however, that he will testify this afternoon.
