Iliirlinijlon OTlolnl ( Determined to i'rosectito the Men For Kvcry Ollcnfio With AVhlcIi They Have Ilccn Charged. Smith TcllH Ills Story. CHICAGO , July 10. [ Special Telegram to THE BKB.I It Is probable that the alleged dynamite conspirators will have to face many more prosecutions before they nro rid of the consequences of the ( rune with which they nro charged. A conviction nndei section n,353 of the United States law , which is the bases for the present prosecution be fore Commissioner Hoyno , practically means thirty days In Jail , ns , even were the highest fine Imposed , the prisoners could schedule out under the state law. Section 5,140 of the United Stales laws , however , provides that conviction for conspiracy to commit nny crime against the United States may be punisned by two years In the penitentiary. Speaking of the apparent lightness of the possible penalty In the event of conviction on the pending charge , Frank Collier , attorney for the " " said "Q , to-day : "Theso men will bo convicted for every offense they have com milled , both under the United Stntcs and the state law. They can bo prosecuted under section 5.4-10 nnd under the alula conspiracy law , and also under the Btato dynamite law , which is very severe. ' The penalty Is from five to twenty-live yrnrs In the penitentiary. Tills charge was made first because on the state charge wo could not subpoena witnesses from other states , while we could bring them into the United States court. Once having appealed it will be easy to get them Into a Klalu court with out n subptrna. Wo shall prosecute the conspirators under the dynamite act , which provides a punishment of from two to twen ty-live ycaisln the penitentiary. " "Would any ono knowing of this conspir ncy , yet taking no active pait in it , bo culpable under the act ! " "Most certainly. " "Then will you not arrest Hogo for his knowledge of the affair ? . " The attorney answered the question by saying that he was unable to look into the future. Had Judge Grcsham's court room been twice us largo It would have noon too small to accommodate the crowd which pushed , el bowed nnd struggled to get In. Probably most all had como in hopes of witnessing a repetition of the sensational developments of Saturday , but these wcro disappointed , for nothing sensational occurred during the morning session. "Squealer" Smith testi fied , but his testimony was mainly corrob orative of the opening address of the district attorney , and there wcro u few llttlo spats between the counsel ; but the soothing in fluences of the Sabbath had bad their effect on the excitable temperaments of Messrs. Donahue and David , and the spats lacked the fire of the foimcr sessions. Once in n while Mr. David would silence the district attorney by some sucli blasting shaft ns , "Oh , como off. What's the use of . talking to you ? " but geneially their altercations consisted of mild , soft words of disagreement , accom panied by conciliatory smiles nnd gestures. At 1:20 : o'clock , all the participants being in their places , the commissioner opened court. The defense asked that all of Kelly's testimony relative to Bowles bo stricken out , inasmuch as it affected neither the guilt nor innocence ot the rest , but Commissioner Hoyno thought that it could rufnaln without prejudicing his mind. Alex Smith then told his story : how lie met Bowles and went with him when ho put the first dynamite cartridge on the "Q" track , and then of his conversa tion with Bauciclsen nnd Godding , nnd of his putting dynamite on the track. Smith baa been u fireman on the road for four ycais. Referring to the time Bowles nnd he put dynamite on the track , Smith testified : "Ono morning Bowles said to me , 'I guess wo will go and take a ride. " Ho said , 'Wo will go and give them n little scare.1 Ho said that Bauereisen was willing that we should go. 1 had , never scon dynamite till ho showed it to me. Ho got n horse and bupgy , and wo started about U o'clock in the evening. When wo got near the bridge on Fox street and passed the fair grounds , ho showed me u stick of ay minute with a paper mound it , and then ho showed me some caps. Then ho wanted mo to take them and i wouul not do it. On the way out lie cut n stick from a trco and whittled a sharp point on it to bore a hole through the end of the cartridge- put the cap lu. Ho showed me cop per caps something like these produced hero. \Ve drove over the tiack some sixty rods and he went back and put dynamite on the track. I stayed In the buggy , and ho came back and told mo ho had done so , and when wo got bnuk a mile and a half we hoard the dyna mite go off. " The witness then went on with his story , showing how Uanereison had sent liim after a package of dynamite caitridges a day or two after the first experiment , and how Bauerol- sen t > cnt him out on the night of June 14 to put some more dynamite on the track , "so as to give the Burlington people another bcnro. " Slriilh also told how ho had been sent to fetch the dynamite which was found In the possession of ihe defendants when arrested. His testimony was not shaken on trie crois examination. .Smith was retired before the beginning ol the afternoon session , after having been sub Icoicd to a cross-examination of gicat IctiRlli by the defendants' counsel. They failed U got him to contradict himself , but did eatab- llsh the fact that he know nothing about the dynamite found on the train when Frcdor ick , Bowles nnd Wieson were ariestcd. A conference was held this afternoon at the office of the Burlington road , atvhlul the road was represented by President 1'er kins , Vice Picsldcnt Dcatlj , Gcnuial Man ager Stone , \Vlit Doctor and J , W. lily The other side was represented by Chief Ar thur of the locomotive engineers , Chief Sar gent of the locomotive firemen , and Aloxan dcr Sullivan , their counsel The arrival o Arthur and Saigcnt in Chicago had bcei kept secret until the conference- was over Chairmen Hogo and Murphy wcro also pres out. The otllcla'.s of the two brotliei liood assuicd the rallraad men that they had m sympathy with dynamiters. At the conference once the strike and the situation as it affcctoi the public and the parties to this stru gl \vasdlscuss6d. All ucieeil that \\oula b well If the strike could bo ended. President Perkins was seen after the con fcmnco and said that nothing was definite ) , settled. Neither Mr. Ai thur nor Mr. Sar pent could bo found after the conference Touching the meeting Chairman Hogo sail to un Associated pi ess representative : " Propositions werosubmitted by both side to the controversy , looking toward a settle uient of the strike. What tlicio proposition wtno 1 am not at liberty to state. They hav not taken tangible form , and will nut untl another conference la bum , which will be ii a few days.1' Mr. Hope then showed the icpnrtcr a trie rram which was sent fiom Davenport to W F. Gould , nnd which read as follows : "On ing to certain events the men at this polu decide that we had bettor adopt oxtreui measures. " This Is only one ot the uuu , telegrams of similar nature , enid the cliili : man , which have reached here to day. Till one is udilieased to Chairman Gould of th KOCK island enovanco committee , and show which way the wind is blowing. He als said that u general meeting of the cbalrmc of the tfrievanco committees of nearly over line running out of Chicago would bo hcl hero this week , at which action will bo take to resent the wholesale arrests and poiscci tlons which huvo occurred lu Chicago durin the past fen days. "What does the writer of Hie dlspatc mean when ho speaks of extreme measures ) ' was then uskcil. "That remains to bo * i > cu. It may mean i strike on the read u-iircscntcil or IV inn boycott on tLo llurlhujum , whlc would eventually terminate In a strike. The meeting will decide that question. " "Do you think thcro will bo a strike ! " "Well , the men on the Grand Trunk , Hock Island nnd Northwestern , among others , nro very sere over these arrests nnd will cer tainly upcak in no uncertain tone when the time comes. They do not believe In dyna mite , neither do they believe In persecution. " "Will this meeting have the power to de clare a strike without the sanction of Chief Arthur ! " "Yes , sir. and the > y will do It If necessary. The support of Arthur Is only for its moral nnd financial effect. If any one of the sys tems concludes to strike , and Arthur refuses to sanction the move , we iccclvo no support from the brotherhood , but at the same tlmo the chairman of any system can declare a strike on that system , provided the brother hood men employed there desire. " F1KTIETII CONGRESS. Heiuilo. WASHINOTON , July 10. Mr. Chandler of fered a resolution to continue during recess the select committee on Indian tradershlps. Referred to the committee- contingent ex penses. Mr. Hoar reported back the bill appropri ating $ ' .

C. , In recognition of his services to the coun try in the conquest of the northwest terri tory during the revolutionary war. Messrs. Hoar , Daniels , Blackburn and Voorhces all spoke In fitting terms of the brilliant services of General Clark , the latter claiming that the monument should bo erected at Vin- ccnnes. The bill was passed. The senate then proceeded to the consider ation of the fisheries treaty In open executive session , and was addressed by Mr , Pugh in favor of its ratification , Mr. Chandler addressed the senate in op position to the treaty. At the conclusion of Mr. Chandler's speech Mr. Teller obtained the floor and the bill went over until to-morrow. The senate bill for the adjustment of ac counts of labors nnd mechanics arisincr under the eight hour law was then taken up , but no action was taken. The senate then went into executive scs sion and soon adjourned. House. WASHINGTON , July 10. The call of states for the introduction of bills having been olsjienscd with the house went into com mittee of the whole on the tariff bill , the woolen schedule pending. At the suggestion of Mr. Mills of Texas it was agreed that a vote should bo taken on the frco wool clause nt i o'clock. Air. Adams of Illinois spoke In favor ol changing to January 1,18S9 , the time when the free wool schedule shall go into effect , Mr. Allen of Massachusetts sent to the clerk's desk nnd had read a letter from Mr Whitman , president of the national associa tion of wool manufacturers , stating that the wool manufacturers wcro opposed to the removal of the duty on foreign wool. Mr. Jackson of Pennsylvania bore testi mony that the wool manufacturers of Philadelphia weio uncompromisingly op posed to frco wool. Mr. Kerry of Iowa called attention to the fact that the reduction of the duty on wool in lbS3 had resulted in an increase of the revenue to the extent of $ HCOJOiO , mid he thcrcfoic favored a return to the tariff of IbOT. Mr. Andersen of Iowa said that the self- constituted champions of American labor , by declaring that the bill was an assault upon American Industries , wcro piesenting n false issue to the country. Mr. Williams of Ohio protested against placing wool upon the free list. After a brief argument by Mr. Breckrn- ridge of Kentucky in favor of the free wool clause , Mr. Wilkins of Ohio moved to strike wool fiom the frco list. On division the vote stood 0.1 to 123 , and the- announcement was icceived with applause on the democratic side. Messrs. Sowden of Pennsylvania , and Wilkins and Foran of Ohio were among the democrats voting in the nnirmatlvc , while Mr. Amlemon of Iowa voted in the negative. The amendment offered by Mr. Mills , striking out the clause imposing a duty of ! ! 0 per cent , ad valorem on carpets nnd insert ing u clause imposing a duty of C cents per square yard ad valorem on floor matting and floor mats , exclusive of vegetable substances , and of 40 per cent ad valorem on all carpets and carpeting , druggets , bookings , mats , rugs , screens , covers , hassocks , besides those of wool , flax , cotton , or parts of either , or other material , was agreed to. Then on motion of Mr. Mills the date on which the free wool clause shall go into effect was fixed on October 1 , 1SSS , and the date for the taking effect of the woolen schedule fixed on January 1. ISbO. This disposed of the woolen schedule. Mr. Dingley moved to strike out the para- gr.ipn fixing a duty of 12 per cent on printing paper. Lost. Mr. Mills moved that the paragraph con- coining card cloth bo amended so as to in crease the duty from 15 to 20 per cent per square foot , and , In case such cloth was made of tempered steel wire , from 25 to 40 cents per square foot. Adopted. The other amend ments offered by Mr. Mills and adopted wcro to strike out the India rubber fabric para graph , fixing a duty on kooltn at $1 per ton for crude and $2 for China clay or wrought koolln ; and placing a duty on rough marble in blocks and squares nt 40 cents per cubic foot. This completed the consideration of the essentially tariff features of the bill and the administrative portion of the measure was taken up. Mr. Buchanon of New York offered an amendment providing that no goods or pro duct , in whole or in part , of convict labor shall bo imported for sale or trade. Re jected , On motion of Mr. Breckenrldgo of Arkan sas an amendment was adopted excluding from thu provisions of the section which - provides that ad vuloicm duties shall include the value of the cartons , cases , boxes , In which merchandise Is Imported such boxes sacks or coverings us aru uccetiary coverings for machinery.

WASHINGTON BUIIEAU THE OUVIIA HUB , ) M3 FoUUTRENTitSTIlBBT , > WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 10.1 Representative Dorsey was before the sen ate committee on judiciary to-day nnd made an argument in favor of his bill rcqullrng ad ditional places for holding terms of the United States courts in Nebraska. Ho en countered many objections to the measure fiom members of the committee , who claimed that the judge : ) of the district nnd circuit courts of Nebraska wcro opposed to the bill ; that there was so llttlo business on the calen dar of both a civil and criminal character that the additional terms nnd places for hold ing the courts proposed in the bill was un necessary. The coin in lit oo gave Mr. Dorsoy no encouragement , but promisca to consider the bill , nnd individual members said that they might frame a substitute bill similar in character to the one which passed the Forty- ninth congress. Mr. Dorsey Insisted on hav ing court hold at both Norfolk and Kearney , nnd showed the necessity of the service and the great benefit the people of the western portion of the state would derive from sessions at these places. Mr. Edmunds ob jected , saying that there were about 123 criminal cases on the calendar , to which Mr. Dorsoy replied that ho was happy to know that there were so few , as it showed that the people of Nebraska wcro law-abiding in the first instance , and that in the second place they knew cnou gh to know that when the government of the United States reached out its strong arm the best thing to do was to compromise nnd pay the lines imposed. Several bills proposing the reorganizing of United States courts , similar to the ono pro posed for Nebraska notably Minnesota nnd Arkansas have mot with the same fate that threatens Mr. Dorsey's measure. The bills after passing the house have been amended in the senate so as to make them worthless. TlltiTAItlfF UBIIATi : . The house mnUo rapid progress with the tariff bill to-day more rapid than any ono expected , and before adjournment finished the entire schedule and reached the internal revenue and administrative portion near the end. The wool clause did not cause as much debate as was expected , for the " members are pretty well tired out and will" bo glad when the white elephant is off their hands. The show of strength for the sheep growers on the democratic siao was a great disappoint ment , indeed , an only three democrats- Messrs. Sowden of Pennsylvania , Foran and Wilkinsof Ohio voted with the republi cans to protect the wool farmer. This vote to day removes all doubt , if any existed , as to the fate of the bill , and the announcement that was made so positively nt the beginning of the session , that not more than half a dozen demociats would vote against it , proves to have been well founded. It is believed that this week will see the completion of the discussion that has lasted for nearly three months , and that the final vote will bo taken before Saturday. Mr. Breckcnndgo said to day that he thought the bill would bo ready for the enrolling clerk on Friday. CLEVELAND'S PENSION VKTOCS. Senator Davis , of Minnesota , the chairman of the committee on pensions , has u theory which he thinks is based on solid facts that thupicsidcnt is vetoing pension bills on the percentage system nnd sends back to con gress every tenth ono that reaches him , whether it is meritorious or not. * "If you will examine the reports and exe cutive messages on these pensions , " said Senator Davis , this afternoon , "you will dis cover , us I have done , that the president fre quently signs the weakest , and often vetoes the strongest bills sent to nlm. There is no mistake about ill ho is trying to-keep nn average and every tenth bill ho comcs.across he sings out to Lament : Hand mo down an other veto. " SENATOU I1LAIH ON 1IUTLEH. Senator Blair is reicivlng many letters of congratulation aud commendation upon the bold stand ho took in the senate last week and the vigor with which ho replied to Sena tor Butler , of South Carolina , who had gene out of ills way to attack him. Although Senator Blair Is eccentric and has often , by the propositions ho introduced , caused his colleagues much concern , ho is ono of the few men In the senate who have n convic tion on all subjects and Is never afraid to let them bo known. Ho lias plenty of pluck nnd nerve also. Although ho did not adver tise the fact with a blast of trumpets ho did good service as a soldier during the war , en tering as a private and coming out n lieuten ant colonel. Senator Blair is a man of strong religious convictions and an active member of the Congregational church. 1 asked him to-day if it were true that ho had sam ho would accept n challenge to fight u duel if ho received ono from Butler. "I do not recollect ever having said so in terms , " ho icplicd , "but under certain cir cumstances I think I would accept a chal lenge to tight n duel. I do not believe In duelling , nor do I take any stock in the theory that an injury to a man's honor must be heated with the blood of his enemy , nnd yet icalizing that duelling is contrary to the laws of man nnd the laws of God , I think , ns I have said , that under certain circumstances \\o\ild fight any man who challenged me. " "Under what circumstances ! " I asked. "Well , 1 have always been of the opinion that the war of the rebellion might liavo boon avoidedohad the men of the north not permitted themselves to bo bullied oy the men of the south for thlity years. If there had been a few bloody duels between northern and southern men piior to IfrCO thousands of lives nnd millions of money would have been saved simply because it would huvo prevented , seven millions of people rushing headlong upon the bayonets of twenty millions. The people , particularly the young men of the south , were taught that ono southerner could uliip live Yankees. They believed it. We gave them reason to believe it. Wo per mitted ourselves to bo bullied , abused , threatened and oven assaulted without re sistance , and the natural Impression was that wo were cowards. Now It will not dote to allow that impression to prevail again , and while I would never fisht n duel to vin dicate my honor , I believe that I would do so to establish n piccedcntand convince the people ple of the south that they could not attack a northern man with impunity , " III ( III I.ICCNSII FOU THE niSTMICT.

Discussed at a Mrctlni ; of the Na tional 1'rlnon ANsoclntlon. WASHINGTON , July 10. Nearly 200 per sons were present at to-day's ' session of the National Prison association in the hall of the house of representatives. Among the states represented were Illinois , Minnesota and Wisconsin. The paper of the forenoon was by Joseph Nicholson , superintendent of the Detroit house of correction and president of the Wardens' association. It treated on the efllciency of the Bcrtllllon system for the registration nnd identification of criminals. C. R. Brown , of the New York state re formatory , said that In lie country was con vict labor moro than u small part of 1 per cent of free labor. The Yates bill In Now York and the O'Neill bill in congress are ex amples of the legislative tendency to discrim inate in favor of a class at the expense of others. Brockway's ' proposition was to hold a conference this fall , representing all states , If possible , to consider the prison labor ques tion. Brockway presented u resolution , which was adopted , providing that the exec utive committee of the association confer with the governors of states throughout the union with a view to calling such u confer ence. Prof. Wnylnnd , of New Haven , offered the following resolution , which was adopted : Hcsolved , that In thojudemcntof this asso ciation productive prison labor Is nn indis pensable factor in the work of prison reform , and that any scheme which has n tendency to permit or promote idleness in prisoners will inflict nn irrcparabln injury on the pris oner , the wovkinirman , and the stale. Mr. Baird , of Virginia , sold that the O'Neill bill contained two monstrous propo sitions , that convicts compelled to live in Idleness shall becotno physical and moral wrecks , nnd that the poor people of the country , who pay most of the taxes , shall support all convicts in idleness. A change in the programme was made In order to discuss the O'Neill bill , word hav ing been received that it would come up in congress Wednesday. A paper on the labor question was presented by Charles E. Folton , of Chicago. Ho argued -that the methods proposed by the blll.would not protect labor , and that It was wrong to lock up prisoners In idleness , ns proposed by the bill. Ho said that It was not In the interest of honest workingmen , prison reform or good govern' mont. BLAIR AS A PIIlE-EATEn. Now Hampshire's Senator Gets Hot nnd Surprises His Friends. WASHINGTON , July 10. [ Special to THE BEE. ] The scrap Between Senators Butler and Blair m the United States senate last Thursday still causes a great deal of com ment among the associates of these gentle men and politician ? generally. Senator Blair , who hails fronythat sturdy state , New ' Hampshire , is a fine'ly built man physically with a kindly face and a quiet air. Ho has been called n crank nnd other pet names because cause of nls advocacy of universal education and universal temperance , and ho is often re garded as n good deal of a nuisance when lie makes a set speech , but no ono ever consld ered him a lire-eater. Hence when ho sailed into the hot tempered gentleman from South Carolina and gave utterance to that celebrated remark. "While I claim no excess of courage nnd never expect pect to bo called upon to exhibit the ordinary courage of a senator or civilian , I shall no shrink from any test probably that ho sees " fit to subject mo to , " every one was sur- "prised and there were a few who oven ex pected that Bladerisburg might once more appear as the scene of a bloody conflict be twecn two celebrated members of congress. But the unkindest thing of nil in Mr. Blair's remarks was the iling which ho gave to the president in rofeicuco to a vetoed pension bill of Mrs. Dougherty. Mr. Blair thought that it was dntlrely unnecessary for the chief magistrate of this country to cast n slur upon the honor of a woman , especially when no himself , the chief magistrate , had some sections in his record which would not bear close scrutiny when personal morality was sought. For 11 Roll of Honor. WASHINGTON , July 10. Special to THE BEE. ] General Hpvey of Indiana procured an amendment to the census bill just before that measure passed the house a day or two ago , which will have a very important bear ing upon the pension question in the future. General Hovey's amendment provides for the recording in book form of the name of every surviving soldier of the late war , and every widow of these who nro deceased. This work will probably till several volumes , and the result will bo a roll of honor to bo handed down from generation to generation. There is nt present no complete record of the names of the men who served In the army In print. Some individual , regimental nnd brigade rolls have been printed from time to time , but this is the first attempt on the part of the government to secure a complete list of the volunteers of that trying period of the country's history embraced in the years 1801 to 1805. _ . The Fuller Case. WASHINGTON , July 10. The Fuller case was reached and taken up by the senate In in secret session to-day , nnd the case In formally talked over. Some members of the judiciary committee took occasion to say that it had never been the purpose on the part of anyone in the committee to postpone action until the next session , ns had been charged , and that while they were opposed to his con firmation , their reasons were entirely of a public character. The case went over , be ing unfinished business at the adjournment. ' + > Army Orders. WASHINGTON , July 10.

Toward evening the sky clouded up very rapidly , and the sweltering citizens looked forward to a refreshing shower. Others expressed some apprehension on account of the pcvullar appearance of the clouds and prophesied a wind storm. Neither class wore disappointed. The shower c.imo , but with It cnmo a fiercer storm than nny of the weather prophets had bargained for. It was about 7 o'clock when ono of those dre.idful funnelled shaped clouds , which havobccomo so'.dlstrcss- ingly famiU.ir on these western prairies , was seen to form southwest of the city. Every body rushed for their cellars and dugouts. They had barely got under shelter when the air was full of flying timbers. The flno Presbyterlnn church Just completed was torn from Its foundation as if It had been built of pasteboard. The whirling visitation with a dreadful , roaring sound , swept down through the city destroying every thing in its path. Ono row of twenty frame houses , was wiped out in shorter tlmo than it takes to write it , while all the cellars In the business part of town wore completely flooded by n cloud burst which followed In the wako of the other messenger f destruction.

[ Special , o THE HUE. ] An interesting affair of ather a sensational character has been do- eloped in Nebraska City society by the tory of Mrs. John McGernoy , of Missouri.

He obtained the desired .vorlc , .and for a time gave entire satlsfao- ion. In a couple of..uiouths ho had so in gratiated hlmsolf into the good opinion of , ho old gentleman that the latter extended to him every hospitality his'homo afforded. The farmer even grow confidential and .horefore honest John learned many of the 'amily ' secrets. Ho learned that the broad acres with which ho had become so 'umillar , would , upon the death of the 'arincr ' , fall into the hands of his only daughter , a maiden of some twonty-nino summers. John suddenly became - came aware of Miss Helen Fictz's attractions and began to court her so assiduously that a secret engagement resulted. ' V * - _ ' In the course of events , Mr. Fietz became iiware of the condition of afTuirs , but being n man of caution ho saved his wrath for future use. Ho confided his trouble to a neighbor , recently from Missouri , who gave him the startling information that McGernoy was well known to him in Missouri and had a wife ana two children living there , whom ho deserted over n year ago. Now was the farmer's opportunity , and ho deter mined to end the disgraceful engagement at onco. Ho wrote Mrs. McGernoy the entire story and , it is alleged , sent rnonoy to defr.iy her traveling expenses to Nebraska City. When she arrived she went to the house of Oio neighbor and there met Mr. Fqltz , to whom she told a pitiful story of neglect. She had been compelled to support herself ana two young children ns best she could , and at times was hardly able to keep the wolf from the door. Together the farmer and the wronged wife proceeded to the former's ' home , where they expected to confront the man with his villainy , but they arrived to find the bird had tlown. His wife fol lowed him to tills city , where she found ho had some time ago instituted pro ceedings for a divorce on the plea of deser tion. Mrs. McGornoy appeared before the court , told her story and had the case sot aside , after which she returned to Missouri and John still remains in the city.
