Washington, April 13.-Following is
a summary, compiled from the official
proceedings, of the work of both
houses of congress yesterday:
SENATE-The tariff bill was reported
by Mr. Aidrich from the committee on
finance. and Thursday it will be taken
up for consideration. Senator Daniel
led democratic criticism of the report
ing of the bill to the senate without af-
fording the democratic members an op-
portunity to inspect 1T. Senator Aldrich
replied that to have proceeded other
wise would have entailed long delay.
and reminded the members of the min
ority that the republican ma jority alone
would be held responsible for the tariff
legislation to be enacted by this con-
gress. A message from the house ask
ing for the return of the bill reached
the senate too late for action. Adjourn
ed at 12:45 o'clock until Thursday.
HOUSE - The house was in session
two hours and fifteen minutes. The
first action taken was the adoption of
"a resolution calling upon the senate for
Thursday in order that ii might be cor
rected so as to include products of pc
troleum in the free list. During the
confusion incident to the passage of the
bill Friday last ii was believed that this
provision was embodied in 1t. but it de-
|veloped that such was not the case. al
though it clearly was the intention to
include these products along with crude
and refined petroleum. The house au-
thorized its enrolling clerk to make the
correction, and he can make the change
within a few minutes. 1t will, there
fore, cause no delay in tariff legislation
There was much opposition to two res
lolutions. one to appoint several jani-
tors and the other to appropriate fol
the expense of the house incident to
the extra session. The first was de-
feated by being laid on the table. and
1.-The second was adopted only after Mr.
Macon of Arkansas had forced a roi
| call on a point of no quorum. Aftel

his persistent quest were as follows
In the year 1894 three young me1
set sail for America. They were Johr
Nolin, a young machinist John Row
an, a mechanic, and John Merna, a
mechanic. They arrived in New York
and on May II, 1894, Merna declared
his intention of becoming a citizen
of the United States, took out his first
papers and gave his residence as No

The four Johns, after spending a
few days in Philadelphia, went to New

and hung about New York until De
cember, 1899, when Rowan returned
to Ireland, and went to work at his
trade in Dublin. Nolin and Walsh ap-
piled to the South Brooklyn branch of
the Amalgamated Society of Machin-
lists for donation money, which
amounts to So per week for those out
of work, and the request was complied
with by John A. Shearman, secretary
of the society. who worked in the
Pioneer Machine works in Brooklyn.
In the latter part of this month Nolin,
Walsh and Merna went to Washing
ton, d. G. Nolin remained there q
short time and then went on to Rich
mond, Va, where he obtained job as
filter in q foundry.
On Christmas day, 1899, Merna
went to work as bartender in a Wash
ington saloon, at PIP Ninth street, of
which Joseph McEnerney was pro-
prietor, and on January 1 Walsh was
given a similar position in the same
saloon. They relieved each other at
the bar and shared a room together
over the saloon. They worked as bar
tenders for McEnerney through Janu-
airy and February and along into
March, while Nolin stayed on in the
Richmond foundry. Early in March
Karl Dallman had registered at the
Stafford house, in Buffalo, and had
then gone away.
On Monday evening, March IL, Mer-
ma was found dead in his room over
the saloon.
Somewhere about April 10, 1900,
NOlin received a communication from

in secret circles as the Napier Tandy

with this club, having been introduced
into it by man named Jack Hand, a
sailor. Nolin's instructions, sent to him
in Richmond, were to go to Washing
ton, get John Walsh, and go with him
to Philadelphia, where, at the Phila-
delphia & Reading railroad station, at
p. m. on Saturday, April IA, they
would meet third man who would
give them further instructions. Nolin
obeyed the summons promptly and

time Welldressed, stout man came
up and accosted them. Their replies
being satisfactory the stranger said:
Il am the man you want to see," and
engaged them in earnest conversation.
At the conclusion of their talk the
stout man handed 500 to Nolin, with
two railroad tickets and sleeping car
coupons from Philadelphia to Buffalo,
then left them and Nolin and Walsh
took the Lehigh Valley train for Buff

Karl Dallman. the arch plotter in
the conspiracy, turned out to be an
even more picturesque character than
Murray had suspected before com

lowing up one clue after the other, the
detective became aware that the So

ing off of the oath of secrecy, so far
as necessary to run down the assas
sins, went on the witness stand, and
by his testimony revealed the secret
of the Triangle, the chief three who
had ruled as the executive of the Clan
na-Gael; made public the charges
against Sullivan and fought through
out on the side of the anti-Sullivan
wing. The Identification was made
absolute and final. Men who knew
Luke Dillon, who had worked day by
day near him, visited Karl Dallmau
and identified him positively as the
former high official of the Clan-na
Gael.
But above all Murray's careful, un
erring tracing Of the chief suspect S
career convinced the Canadian gov
eminent that Dallman and Dillon were
one. Originally Dillon was shoema,
ker In 1881 he was working at his
trade at 639 Paul street. Philadelphia.
The members of the dynamite trio
were brought up for trial on May 25,
1900. With the mass of damning evil
dence accumulated by Murray's pa
tent efforts and submitted to the
court, there could be but one result.
AS the clock struck six on the even
ing of May 26, the jury retired to con-
slider the verdict. Four minutes later
they re-entered court and the three
prisoners were declared guilty The
dynamiters were sentenced to impris-
onment for life and taken to Kingston
penitentiary.
For two years after the trio entered
upon their prison life the general pub
lie knew nothing of the identity of
Karl Dallman. Then Buffalo paper
made known the fact, telling of his
connection with the Cronin affair The
story was denied by some of billions
friends. who asserted that he had
been killed during the South African
war while fighting with the Boer al
my against the British But the real.
grim truth is that the once famous
leader of the Clan-na-Gael is buried
alive within the walls of Kingston per
