pynamI,er Found Guilty.

Gesner Russell, also known as Gessier
Rosseau, was convicted yesterday before
Recorder GofF of having sent with mali
cious intent an Internal machine TO the
Cunard steamer Umbria in New York,
on May 8, 1903. The prisoner received
the verdict calmly aud without com.
ment and was remanded to the Tombs
for sentence on Friday. The maximum
penalty for the odense is five years i'm
prisonmeut.
When placed on the stand in bis own
behalf, Rosseau claimed that the machine
was harmless, and added that the ma.
chine was placed there in an effort to,
demonstrate that it would be an easy
matter 10 destroy an ocean liner He
admitted that the mechanism was per-
iect and that the box contained nearly
100 pounds of dynamite. but claimed
that the explosive power of the dyna-
mite had been removed and that the
mechanism had not been put in opera
ton.
When Rosseau was arrested in Phira-
delphia in connection with the Umbria
affair it also was charged that he had
been implicated in the attempt TO blow
up the statue Of Frederick the Great at
Washington few months ago. When.
asked concerning that episode during his
examination yesterday Rosseau declined
to answer, on the ground that it would
tend to incriminate him and convict hun
Of q felony.
In his testimony Rosseau said: ri
have made many internal machines
during my life, and during the Cnban
rebellion sold a number or them to
agents for Cuba ia this country. They
were for blowing up Spanish ships, and
| gave full instruction to the agents as
to their use" He said be always made,
enough money TO go on with his work..
and that during the Boer war he offered
internal machines to Boer agents in this
country; but that his offer had been re-
fused. the Beers saying they did not

HAVING by executive order appointed
a commission of five members OF local
public buildings in Washington and as
signed them pay at the rate OF $40 a
day the President has now asked the
Attorney General to render an opinion
on the legality of the proceeding. No
legislation OF any sort was ever enacted
by Congress authorizing the appointment
of this commission and since the action
of the President has become known to
Senators and members they have with
out exception declared it to be wholly
illegal. They insist, apparently with
justification, that if the President can
appoint commission of this kind and
order its members paid out of the Treas
ury, he can appoint any other sort of a
commission he chooses and allow its
members whatever salary he sees fit.
The course of the President in this mat
ter is a striking illustration OF his desire
to do things on which his mind is set
without waiting for the sanction of
Congress.
