These are some of tlio facts on which Gladstone dwells with satisfaction , ami they mo indeed satls- facloiy when It isconsldcicd that live years auo the home rule party In the house of com mons regarded It as a mere useless waste of tlmo to bring up the further discussion of the homo into question in pailiament.

"The pioccss of cduc.itlon has only now but began , " ho said.

The Somite's ASHINOION , July 21. The Senate at noon proceeded to the consideration of the report on the matter of tlio election of Sena tor 1'nync , nnd was addressed byMr. Pugh In advocacy of the position taken by himself , Messrs.

Mr. Ho.ir addtesscd tlio Senate in support of the views ot himself and Mr. Frye , re commending nu investigation , Mr. Lo'/nu look the lloor In teply to the nr- gumcnt of Mr. Hoar and to sustain the % lows expressed in the repoit signed by himself nnd Messis. Tullci nnd Kvaits. Ho was as icady now as any senator , and ever had been , to ex pel n member If ho felt justified in so voting. But If , as In this cisu , the senate was ap pealed to , on garbled statements , to do In justice to a man or his icputatlou , ho ( Loiran ) was not the man to do It. Theio were many considerations In this matter. While he might bo appealed to on one side for the bcncllt of his party associations to do an net which , In his judgment , was not warranted by law or the facts , he was appealed to on the other band by the knowledge which he had of honored age. of honesty of purpose , nnd lair character. Kvcryuody knew Sena tor Payne to liavo been as devoted to the government and to the country during the war as any man whoso o\co \ was heaid within the senate chamber. When he was asked to deal wrongly with the rights of such a man Ids answer was that there was no power in the land that could be brought to bear upon him , cither from newspapers or political biawlcrs , to do such an injustice. "I have been threatened nnd warned , but I would rather be right than have all the ofllccs or compliments that could bo bestowed on me. fApplauso.J There Is not an ofllco In thccountry that would make mo do wrong to any man In the senate for political purposes. I am the wrong man to bo used for any such purposes. The tirst thing that was said nfter this decision was arrived at by the committee was telegrams to various newspapers all over the country that Logan had requested to keep the \oto secret That wont to n cer tain character of papers In this country. Why was that said about me ? There is not a man on the face of God's earth who ever heaid mo request seciecy. In re lation to any net of a public chai.icter that I ever perfoimcd. The members of the com mittee knew that that was a He , nnd the chaiiman of the committee telegraphed thioiicli the associ.iled piejs that theie was no foundation at nil lor the statement I would like to know why that statement was made. Why should 1 be singled out ot other .senators and have suspicions cast upon me ? it was done Justus mnnv things have been done since then. It seems to be thought that now Is time to kill oil icpiiblieans. God knows that I am too small a person tor them to commence shooting at tirst Why should I bo killed oilV I am not in tlio way of any body , lam not n candidate in Ohio lor any olllce and I do not want to bo a candidate for any ollico. " Keleninc to the attacks made uiion him by the CommercIal-Ga/ette , Mr. Logan said : "The Cincinnati Gazette is a vcrv influential paper , a very powerful pjper. Nobody dis putes that. It is owned and edited , and has been for a long time , by a man named Hal- stead. In thu davs of Abraham Lincoln Haistcad thought that Lincoln's head ought to be chucked against a wall and his brains knocked out , or something like tlmt. That was complimentary to Lincoln. In 1803 llul- stead thought that Grant was a djunkenold loafer , who ought to bo kicked out ot society. That was complimentary to Grant. I came to the senate hero almost accidentally , and the lirst thing I knew when 1 got heio I picket ! up the Cincinnati Coinmeiclal-Gazetlo ono day and found live columns of that paper charging my friend troin Ohio , who presides so honor.ibly and fahly over this body , with nil soils of things. The next thine I found in the Cincinnati Commcicial was that James G. Blaine was a scoundtel nnd tlilef and villain who should be ex ecuted at tlm nearest lamp post I did not believe it about Blninu. I did not believe - lievo It about Sherman. I did not believe it about Grant , nnd I did not believe it about Lincoln. 1 did not think 1 was n big enough fellow ever to bo attacked by the Cincinnati Commeicial. I never dreamed of1 such a thing. But tlio other day I picket ! It tin ami to my utter astonishment l found my name mentioned in it in a complimentary way In connection witli the names of two other sen ators who are gicater men than myself. " Air. Louan lieie quoted fiom the Cincinnati Comiiiercial-Gii/etto an article ngninst him self and Scnatois Kvarts and Teller , and speaking of Kvnits as the representative of the coal oil in the senate , and that as to Tel ler ho wasn't worth talking about "The presidential boom , " thu aitlclu continued , "of tlio two distinguished republican United States senators c.in now bo tenderly laid away to eternal lest" "That , " salu Logan , addressing Eyarts , "means yourself and the senator from Ohio ( Sherman ) .

In conclusion , Mr. Logan said ho had not been actuated In this matter by Impulse , not by being ngrlovcd , not by attacks , but by a calm and dcliberato examination ot the testimony uudof tnu law In the case. Ho had done his duty and would stand by It , for his nctlon was right and lust and proper. [ Applause on the lioor and In the gallcryj.

Sellpcr Is , or was , an an archist , n member ot a socialistic group nnd recording secretary of thoCarpcntei's union. Hois regarded as ono of the leading wit nesses for the prosecution , nnd the most In tense Interest was manifested In his revela tions of the nr.nrchlst plots. Ills testimony startled everyone. The judge was .scrupu lously attentive , State's Attoincy ( irinuoll looked as if ho nad reached the land of corn and wine , and the counsel for the anarchists weio lumarknbly silent , Mr. Xelsler only offering few Irresolute objections. Captain Black and his colleagues , all ot thu prisoners , and oven Mrs. I'.irsons , grow visibly older. Deep Hues came In most of tluslr counte nances. Schwab's face had a putty-Iiko Into. Spies seemed to liavo found something at last that required attention , and oven pro found consideration. Ncebo simulated a graven image , but after an abortive elTort to laugh in the beginning , relapsed Into numistakcablo gravity , and pretended to be taking notes. Fisher was visibly pale and never took his eyes off the witness once. Flcldcn looked ncrvoiis and troubled. Kngcl held his hand to his car and appeared stolid but despairing. Various twilled his small mustache with tlio nirof Irlglitoncd conceit. Of the whole lot , Mrs. 1'arsons looked the saddest Her complextlon was about three shades paler than usual , and she gazed lix- edly and mechanically attho witness , asif she felt that hope had died out of her heait. The witness seemed ( lightened , and gave his tes timony in a very low tone of voice. Ho spoke In German nnd nn inteipreter was used. In giving his testimony , Seliger sat uneasily , with Ids body Inclined forward in a strained position , both hands clasped tightly about thu aim rests or. the witness chair. His face was pale , his eves never lookud steadily In any ouo direction , but dropped , and from tlmo to tlmo his gazowandeiud about the courtroom and he saw hundreds of faces gazing at him In nmnremcnt ns the dreadful story of the prepaiations for wholesale bloodshed were recounted. Seligcr never looked at the an archists. Scliger testllied that he li\ed in Sedcwick , and Ltnug and ono of the defendants had boaidcd with him. Monday night befoio the massacie , witness attended a meeting of the carpenters' union at .Nell's hall. Tlneucopies of the "revenge" circular were distributed. Tuesday , at Iilngg'srequest witness , worked all morning with three othcrsloadliibombs. ! .They made about fotty or lltty of them. Llugic Urged them to work diligently , and said the bombs would bo taken away that day. Lingg told him every walking man should ha\c ( lynamito and know how to use it. There was iroing to bo an "agitation" nnd workincmen ought to leain the nsu of dyna mite , llo said the bombs they wcro mauing would bo good "fodder" for the capitalists and the police. The bombs were to oo used that night Lingg said. When the bombs weie finished they carried them to Keif hall where they weio distributed. Thu hall b.ick of .NclFs saloon , witness said , was called the "Shanty of the Communists. " Communists , anarchists and socialists , all used to meet theie. When ho left Neff's saloon , Lingg , Thiellen and ( ius- tav Lehman weio with him , and they were aftcrwads joined by two men ot the Lehr and Wehr Veiuln. All had bombs. 'Tell what you were going to do that . disturbance was to bo made on the North side. That was arranged previously. Other disturbances wcic to bo made on Ilia West side , to iirevcnttliopolicotrom mas'-jng at any ono point. " Lingg said thu dlstiub- anccs should bo made all over the North side , to picvent the police iioni going to thu West side. As they passed the Launbco stiect police station Llnig said It would be a beautiful tiling to tluovv In a couple of bombs. From I/irrabec stioet ho and Lingg went up to Webster nvenun station. A patrol wagon came up. Lingg said ho was going to throw in a bomb ; that it was the btst time to do it I said It was not a good time ; that It would houseless. Lingt ; became excited and wanted me to give him soiiio fuo fiom my cigar. I went Into a hall nnd stiuck a matc.li as U I was going to give It to him. The pa- tiol wagon passed before the match lighted. Linirg wanted to follow the wauou , Ho thought there was trouble on the West side and wanted to know what It was. I per suaded him to go home little bufoio 11 o'clock. Lingg asked mo If 1 had seen thu notice in thu papers that armed men were to hold a mooting on tlio West side. Hu showed mu a copy of the Arbclter Xoitung and pointed to thu word "Untie , " which , ho said , meant tlmt theie was to bun meeting and that every thing was to bo tuinoJ upside down. Tlio vvoids , "Huho" was a signal for all aimed men to assemble on the west side. The word woid was selected to give- men notice that tlicio was to ho trouble. "Lingg and I went to Nell's hall whoio a number of others wero. llaiman said to Lingg In a very angry voice , 'you are the cause of it nil. ' Then some one told of the Haymaikot affair and said the bomb bad killed a great many. IJnirc sihl nothing on their way home. Lingg said that oven now ho was scolded , jibed nt for the woik hu had done , that his brothers In the cause did not appreciate him. Wo bid our bourns under the sidewalk , It was about midnight when wo reached home. " Witness Identified a number of the Implements used by them in the nmnufactuio of their bombs and described how tbu dynamite and other stuff was brought Into the house. Witness knew Knglc , and tlioy belonged to the same socialistic L'loup. Ho had often heaul Kngle make speeches saying that every workingman - man should make bombs. Inglinm hero hold up n piece of gas plpe > and askeed : "Is this the w y a bomb looks when It Is ready to go off ? " Tlm Court-'Ms that loaded ? " "Yes , your honor. " " 'lids is no place for It , " bald Judge Gary. The spectators wcro evidently very nervous at the Implements of socialistic warfare , and thu women present looked very much alarmed. The prosecution assured tbocouit that they were not dangerous and Inspector Bonfleld offered to taku them Into tlio next room and take off the caps. But the cbuit said the next room was no place for such work , The bombs were taken to the lake front for the operation. Witness lesumed his storv. During the ear drivers' strike last year delegates from differ ent group } used to meet uvciy week at the ArbcitcrZeltung office. Neebe , .Schwab and Lingg were members of the groups. Thu Not th Sldo croup had rilies and drilled with them. Witness identliled a copy of llurr Most's book. Tlio defense moved to liavo the testimony all stricken out on the ground of ii relevancy. This was overruled and the cross-examina tion was begun. Witness said ho had been made no piomfso by thu states attorney or of ficers , who simply told him ho had hotter tell tee truth. He did not know that Ids testi mony or statements would prevent his being tried for murder. The cross-examination was Eevero and searching , but the witness' testi mony remained unshaken , and at 1 o'clock u recess was taken. Not a single dull moment elapsed during the afternoon. The jury , lavvyuis , judge and spectators were kept lixedly , without the lightest relaxation , tit.tho same hl h , icuslon to which they were raised when the da > s ex citing developments began In the early morning bouts. A determined attempt was made by the defense to show that the bombs manufactured the afternoon of the day on which the mnssnere oecuried had no neces sary connection with thu riot In the llnjiiiar- ket. The witness was enuiht up and iimdo nnsvvers moro or less satisfactory to the de fence till tlio court decided that the attempt had proceeded Inr enough. A now line of queries was quickly substituted by Foster , tlio objert being to Impeach the ciedl- blflty of Sclleer nnd' nlaco him In ns odious a light as possible before the Jury. llo was pattly successful , though without affecting the weight of his te.-tiiuouy materially. Sellger told how , on bclnc liberated by Captain Selmnck , bo nnd his w Ifo w ent homo together. Solomon , onu of the attiirnovs for thu defence , soon called on them. Solomon endeavored to In duce him not to testify aealnvt the defend ants , and to tell Captain Sclmaek that his pievlous statements could not &bo substan tiated In court. Mrs. Seligcr was then placed upon the witness stand and gave her testimony in a thin , ttebio voice , Sno wns very neivousnnd at times embarrassed , but displayed noiuuif lliecraveniu sthatehainctcii/.edherhusli : > nd on the stand. Lincg , she said , eaiuo to board with them two weeks befoio Christmas. "Did you ever see any bombs in your house1 nsded tlio state's attorney. "Shortly befoio May 1 saw some ns Llngg was about to hide them. Thuiu were about hall n dorcn l.\inuf In his bed wnlch hn wanted to hide , both long ones ami loiind ones , and gas pipes nnd shells wciotheio. " She had no talk with him there nbout the bombs. Klie did not see any moiu of them. On thu night ot the riot she heard people say that bombs had Inllcn at the Havmaikct. That day them were sov- i-i.il men in her house-six or els-lit , perhaps still moie. Amonirthem wcro Hucbner , Huemann , Tliell , Lingg nnd her husband. They weio In the house until to- waidsevening , coming and going all tiny. The men weio woiking upon the bombs , bhe did not pay particular attention , but remem bered tlmt llucuiann was lillUK. Said Mrs. Seliger : "I was In the kitchen. When sup- tier was ready 1 went In wheie the men wuie. 1 was so mad that 1 could throw them all out. " "Aie you a socialist , Mrs. ScllgerV" inter jected tue state's attorney. "No , " snapped the witness. "They always scold me. 1 frequently saw Llugg melting lead light on my stove. Twicu Huumaiin was with him and once Tblel and my hus band. Lingg would say to me'Don't net so foolishly , standing tlicio ; you might be doing .something too. ' " Witness saw Lingg tlio day alter the bomb w s thrown. Ho wns at home In the foicuoon. "liavo jou over seen tills Instrument ? ' said Grlnnell , exhibiting nn lion spoon into whli'h thu dynamite was lilted. "Yes , " wns thu reply , "Lingg was nlvvays casting with that" , Mrs. Selurer was eioss-e\amlned for the defense by Foster , who bc an with a bland smile , saying : "You hnvu been locked up on account of this bomb business , 1 believe , Mis. Sel- igei ? " "Yes , I hn\o been locked up on account of that man Lingg , " uusweied the witness sharply. The lawyer was a little staggered , but rc- coveied himselt quickly and eudeavoied to show that llio witness was actuated by spltu against Lingg. ( Jtherqucstlons weicdirected to ascertain whetliur the Seligcis wcio in iccelpt of money liom tlio police. Tlio Inci was biought out that since the riot Captain Schaack had paid her rout and given her baicly enough to scantily live. "How old is your husband , Mis. Scligcr ? " casually-asked Koatur. " . " "Thiiiy-one. "How old are you ? " The little woman winced , then flushed to the roots of her hair , nnd said : " 1 am foi ty. " Beloie Mis. Sclleer recoveu-dfrom her con fusion , tliii attorney piopounded the follow ing : "Immediately alter tlio riot dld not you and Mrs. Thlel agree thafyou would raise a pur.se of money for Lings and send htm out of the cntmliy , and then lay the whole bomb making scheme on him1 Witness denied having even talked of such apiopoiition. bholiadn conversation with Mis. Thlel at the time refened to , but nothing of the kind alleged was mentioned. The hourot adjournment had arrived and the long session oiuled by the stale's attoiney handing to thu jury tor inspection an article which seveuil of them hod desiied to sec.
