Dcnt.iv , Sept 25.-Much to the surprise ot
the authorities who \\ero taking Patrick
O'Prion to Tipperary for hearinR today , a
large delegation of prominent nationalists
Vw n1o * hr rtmr > train A mnncf thotn tvero
* same iram. Among
John Morley , John Dillon , Ufred Tillings-
vrorth , member of parliament , T. M. Heaiy ,
Commoner Harrinpton and several others.
On the arrival ot the trala at Tipperary the
nationalists started for the court house
In o body. Obey had uot
gone far when they were stopped
at the street corner and entered into conver
sation.V'hil \ they were standing there , In
no way disturbing the peace , they \\ero
ordered by the police to move on. John
O Connor , member of parliament , took very
vigorous exception to this order and showeil
his contempt for tbo police by calling upon
the crowd which bv that time hail become
IUUICTJWU , v.unu. ;
very large , to Ki\i three cheers for John
Morley The cheers -Here given uith peed
will much to the exasperation of the police ,
who thereupon charged upon the crowd and
nttcmpted to force It to move forward. In
the melee that followed the policemen did not
besltatc touse their batons. Due burly con
stable aimed n blow at John Morley himself ,
but John O'Connor , who stood near , warded
it off. The nationalists then continued their
ay slowly toward the the courthouse.
As this \vns the day fixed for the trial of
the nationalists , the streets of Tipperary
were full to overHowintr with people interest
ed in the case. Early in the day it became
known that still another arrest had been
Winde. The victim this time was Thomas
Condon member of parliament for Tipperary
east. He wai taken this morning at Limer
ick nnd brought to Tipperary.
When court opened the authorities decided
not to open the aoors to the general public ,
hut to admit only those who were Immedi
ately interested in the trial. But the crowd
pressed forward , trying to force its way Into
the court room. Tbo police stoutly resisted ,
chnrpinp rcpenicdly upon the crowd and
usmg their clubs freely At last the crowd
VMS gradually forced hack and the police suc
ceeded in malnUilnincT a clear spare in front
of the court house. Durinjrthe ccnttict many
persons were wounded with blows from the
policemen's bludgeons Among the wounded
were Timothy HarrinKton , member of parlia
ment from Dublin , and a Mr Halifax. Both
recei\ heavy blows on the head , which bled
profusely. They made their -way into tbo
court room as soon as they could , but
by that time their hair and
ccat collars were saturated with
blood and they presented a pltublo spectacle.
Their aD ! > ciiranco in court created a pro
found sensation and lent additional emphasis
to the complaint which William O'Brien was
making to the court , as they entered , of the
brutality of the police.
John Morley then arose and addressed the
court , manifesting great agitation. Ho earn
estly pleaded with the court to protect the
populace against the wanton use of clubs by
the police. Meanwhile the nationalist lead
ers continued to protest against the exclusion
of the fieneral public from the court room.
The authorities at last yielded and tte doors ,
wore thrown open.
At the outset Dillon objected to being tried
before Resident Maglstruto Shannon. The
grounds of his objection \\cro that ho had a
personal encounter vrith Shannon on one oc
casion at Cashel. At that time ho asserted
that Shannou had grossly Insulted him. Ho
urged , therefore , that there would bo mani
fest impropriety in Shannon's sitting at the
present trial.
Shannon refused to admit the validity of
Dillon's objections. Ho knew no reason why
he should not go on with the caso. Ho de
clared that Uo would perform his duty with
out bias.
William O'Brien also objected to Shannon.
The last time ha saw Shannon be said
Shannon was at the dead of a body of police
who were using their clubs upon people.
Moreover , Shannon had already tried him
three times on similar charges. His sitting
In the present case , O'Brien said , was la-
decency and an Insult.
The mnristrato answered O'Bnen's oblec-
tioiis In the sumo way that bo disposed of
Dillon's.
Ronan , counsel for tho. crown , naked per
mission to malto some slight alteration in the
charges ajainst the prisoners. Although the
latur protested visorously apainst such
permission , the court permitted the crown to
make the desired changes , Ronan then pro
ceeded with the case for the prosecution. He
reviewed the circumstances -nhlcn led up to
the arrest of the nationalists.
Th < Fcellntr Jn Dublin.
Drni.rs , Sept. 25. The excitenrcnwhen
the arrests of Dillon and O'Brienwere made
has Its counterpart In nationalist circles to
day. The dispatches from Tipperary created
a profound sensation. The fact that John
Mersey is present at the trial is considered
a fubjcit for much congratulation. It is
thoueht that the trial will afford him more
insipht to the true Inwardness of the Irish
problem than weeks of ordinary travel and
im estimation. _

Evidence Introduced 'Which Made
the 1'rlsoner riush with Shame.
\YOOUSTOCK , Out , Sept 25.-With the de-
siroto push the Blrchall trial through In
shorter time than it has threatened to oc
cupy , the court met this morning at 9:30 : , half
an hour earlier than previously. A large
crowd gathered to see the prisoner arrive.
The lirstwitness was S. B. Fuller , man
ager of the imperial bank here. He identi
fied the signature of F. A. Somerset on cer
tain checks as that of the prisoner , who
opened an account with the Imperial bank on
the 10th or llth of December , IbsS. Ho also
identified the letters as those of the prisoner.
Osier , chief counsel for the crown , wanted
to put in as evidence certain Utters to Mel-
lerlsh , through whom the prisoner and Ben-
well were brought together. The letters
were rcaJ. They covered the skeleton of the
correspondenro which took place at the Umo
negotiations were entered upon , with tele
grams tent ostensibly from theStafford house ,
Buffalo , but really from the prisoner , telling
himself at Niagara Falls to ship the heavy
bapcago to Niagara Tails , N"Y. The effect
ot these telegrams was to show that the pris
oner had carried on a systematic deceit on
Bcnwelland his father , and , after the young
man's disappearance , on jounp Felly ,
who waswith them and very
anilpus about Benwcll not appearing.

testine-i that to the best of uls knowledge
there \\cre onlv two passengers on his train
from Eastwood on February U , They were ,
ho thought , Englishmen and answered in ap
pearance to the prisoner and Bcnwell.
The witness was rigidly cross-examined in
regard to the way both men dressed and to
what they carried.
Miss Lookhart of Woodstock said she was
traveling v est February 17 from Paris past

at Eastwood. On seeing Birchall afterwards
in Jail she identified him as the ono who hod

"VWiiiNoTov D. C , Sept. 23
The con forces on the tariff bill are In such
a frame of mind that thoughts of murder and
suicide arise very easily. They have been at
work upon the measure now for nine days ,
endeavoring to perfect It and come to an
agreement upoa the disputed questions.
Despite their best efforts to keep their pro
ceedings to themselves their actions have
become known and are repeated from mouth
to mouth , and speedily find their way into the
public prints , bringing down upon them
hordes of persons interested in the schedules ,
who make life a burden to them by lyin s In
wait in the corridors of thocapitol. But
worse even than these are the congressmen ,
who insist upon certain action in regard to
the subjects in which they or their consti
tuents are particularly interested , threaten
ing in cose of refusal on the part of the con
ferees to vote against the adoption of the re
port when It is made.
"When they adjourned tonight they were al
most fagged out phvsically and mentally.
They all united in expressing the belief that
the report would be aide tomorrow , al
though none of them would state eipllcitely
that tills was a fact. It is believed in some
circles that the conferees have really agreed
upon the two points which are still said to be
pending sugar and binder txviae but with
hold a statement or their conclusions in order
to bo relieved as far as possible from the
pressure that would be brought to bear upon
them w nile the re port is being -written up.
The clerks have been at work upon that all
day , and it is believed have practically
finished it and that it will be all rendy to
morrow moraine to bo reported to the two
houses. *
The latest gossip about the two subjects
under consideration is that So. 10 will be
accepted as the dividing line befneen
dutiable and free sugar , the duties
of the higher grades to bo fixed at
J < cent a pound. The bounty proposed to be
tnven to sugar produced -will not apply to
suears testing le s than SO degrees by the
TwOnriiiviTV * Rpt.\vtv n Wl nnri ! X1 tlifi hnimtv
. .
will be li cents a poundand above SO 2 cents
per pound. This is said to bo acceptable to
the cane sugar men , whose product under the
improved appliances now in vogue tests well
up to C 0 and will receive the higher rate of
bounty The duty on biadine twine will bo
somewhere from J { to 1 cent per pound , prob
ably 9-10 cent per pound ,
The fight over the duty on binder trine
has been one of the most active and Bitter
that has been known in congress for many a
day. There is no binder twine trust , but
there are only forty factories in the
country -where it is manufactured ,
and these are said to employ 11,000 men ,
women and children. Tne most of them are
owned or controlled by the manufacturers of
self-binding : reapers. As e\erv particular
reaper requires a pirticular grade of twine to
make it work evenly and well , the reputation
of the machine , it is claimed , depends upon
the kind of twine thut Is used on them , and
the manufacturers connected with or nt least
associated vrith the reaper shops produce ex-
aitly the quality that is required and no
other. The cheap grades of foreign twine do
not work well and as a consequence the
farmers became dissatisfied with their ma
chines and sent them back to the factories ;
therefore the twine manufacturers are sup
ported by the reaper manufacturers in their
right for a high duty.
On the other hand , the cost of the
twine is a very heavy burden upon
the farmer. Congressman Lind of
.Minnesota , for example , who has
400 acres in wheat , claims that his time cost
him 100 during the recent harvest , and
farmers with ono thousand or two thousand
or more acres have to pay bills correspond
ingly increased. Ono man who has been
taking an interest in the fight says that the
twine used by him during the recent harvest
cost him as much as the labor required to get
in his crop. By placing twine on the free
list it is claimed that the cost of harvesting a
hundred acres of wheat will be reduced 20 per
cent , but this is denied by ihose who want
the duty kept on and they claim that the
reduction will not be more thau3or4p r
cent. They say , too , that the less of time
caused by the use of cheap tvrino will bo
very great and the necessary repair * to the
machines mil subject the farmer to a great
loss. In fact , they argue that there is no
economy in cheap twine , but the farmers are
willing to take their chanccj , anil the twelve
senators from the northwest who voted with
the democrats for free twinodeclare they
will beat the bill if the duty goes back.
JWESTIGATIVO rOSTMJtSTCK WHn.lT.
Postmaster Wheat of the house Is the latest
subject for investigation. Some time ago , it
will bo remembered , ho had a difficulty with
one of the employes and was assaulted by
him. Thoemnloyc was one of the democratic
holdo\ers and was shortly thereafter dis
missed. Ills said that from information fur
nished by him Representative Ealoe of Ten
nessee today introduced a resolution calling
for an investigation of the administration of
the office by Postmaster \Yheat , the particu
lar charge being that he received from the
contractor for hauling the mails of the house
1150 a month out of the (5,000 ( annually ap
propriated for that purpose , nnd which was
the nominal amount of the yearly contract.
It was stated in "Wheat's benalf by Repre
sentative Caswell and others that tha prac
tice was ono that had coma down from for
mer administrations of the orace nnd
that ho was simply following the example
set him by bis predecessors , but that after
several months he had concluded that the
perquisite was not a legitimate one and bad
converted the amount Into the treasury. The
resolution was adopted with an amendment
including the administration of Postmaster
Dalton In tne scope , but it is not likely that
anything will be done in the matter this ses
sion.
r-ECTTtmXO SEXATE PAGES.
There has been a general clearing out of
pages in the senate , which nas occasioned
some remark , inasmuch as the position is one
greatly desired and sought after hy boys ,
paying as It does , fJ50 a day.
Inquiry was made this afternoon as to the
reason for the change. It being thought
that Itvas due possibly to the installation
of a new sergeant-at-anns recently It was
learned , however , that the boys had fallen
into bad habits and yielded to temptation to
acquire that which did not belong to them at
the expense of the senate. Several desks
have been rifled , and the guilty ones having
boon discovered , a cumber of them nere dis
missed.

Siorx CUT , la , Sept. 55. ( Special Tele-
pram to THE Bit ] The fourth annual corn
palace festival opened today , but it was In-
possible for the formal opening at noon , as
advertised. The work of decoration was not
complete , either outside or inside , and tlcro
wre great masses of exhibits still to be put
into position. The corn , palace wai on so
much larger a scale than heretofore that the
time required tvas miscalculated , and It was
impouiblcto nnlsh it , notwithstanding tbnt
for more than a week work has not ceased
night or lay. Over ono hundred eutra men
began this morning , and towards evening the
debris had been buMciently cleared away to
allow the admission of the public.
At 8 o'clock the doors were thrown open
and a vast multitude poured through the
portals , filling the building , -which was bril
liant with Innumerable electric lights Soiao
of the. exhibits are not completely arranged
yet , and there still remains some work to bo
done in the palace , but the decoration is
substantially finished. There was no
formality at , the opening tbo doors
were simply opened. The failure
to secaro the presence of Secretary
Blalne , which was confidently expected tea
a late moment , caused an entire change of
programme , and it was decided to dispense
with formality.
At the hour of opening the great Elgin
military band of fifty-sis pieces struck tip nn
air from their position at the east side of the
court , amidst the cheers of the crowd , and it
is already evident that the attendance Ihis
year will by far surpass that of the preceding
festivals.
The trains yesterday on all the roads ivere
late on account of the pressure of travel , and
today they have b < n even more crowded.
The entertainment of thevisitincr multitude
is likely to be a gra\o problem But thecitl-
zens ha\e arranged to throw their homes
open to stranccrs.
The corn palace is the fourth structure of
the kind which has teen erected In Sioux
City. Each has been an improvement on its
predecessors. The palace this year shows a
great advance in the peculiar art of-uslns
natural products as decorative material It
is a vast pavilion , a frame sheeted , with lum
ber , aud covered outside and inside with corn
and other northwestern crovuhs arranged in
fanciful and artistic forms.
The structure has a frontaceof 270 feet on
Sisth and 2TT ) feet , on Pierce street , These
are the main facades. The corner is cut ,
makinga facade ofsbwtyfeetinside , through
which is the grand entrance. The main \ \ nil
is forty feet high O\er it , on each , side ,
rise three tovrers to the height ol 11O feet
The roof rises from the vralls to the center
in the shape of a pyramid , and over the cvn-
ter is the main lover , 190 feet high. There
are side entrances mid-nay of the two street
points. Between the towers oneaclisid
there are elevations like fables.
Sue h au eitenor design , presenting so
many angles , projections and broken out
lines , affords cmveuient surf aces for the dec
oration s. Every square Inch is covered with
some agricultural product. Corn U the main
material , The ears ara sawed into trans
verse sections ono Inch thich or JooffthwiiO
into halves. These are fastened to the boards
by steel brads driven through them. Tae
great variety of colors , red , white , yellow auil
the blue "square corn , " and all intermediate
shades , give a wide range for combination ,
contract and blending. And ttas the ex
terior is covered to produce effects which at
a .short . distance seen to be those of tlie
painter's brush , only more vivid than any
colors ever inbred. AVith corn are used all
the other grains , flhent , oats , millet , fias ,
etc , as well as all the grasses and all other
suita ble agricultural products.
A stnkinc exterior feature Is the Immense
globe , -which Is intact the base of the cen
tral tower and which rests upon tha point cl
the pyramid formed by the roof. 1'ho ploba
is forty feet la diameter , and the outlines of
oceans , continents , laics , etc. , are vividly
brought out by the different colors of com
can , nailed in solid masses thereon the
oieans in dark : blue , the continents in yellow ,
tbo great lakes in red , etc. 'Ihirty feet above
the globe there is a ppintic crown-shap < xl
frame all covered with the gold ol the yellow
cornears , which can be seen for miles in all
directions.
The interior of the palace Is an octagon. A
gallery twenty-six feet deep is lullt. around
the wall on all sides , and vwenty feet above
the ground floor. The space next to tlio wall ,
both on the ground floor and in the gallery ,
is set apart for exhibits \vhlchthero arc a
great many There is thus a great central
space or court , around which there is a prom
enade both on the main floor and la the gal
lery. The diameter of the central court ,
measured from face to face of the gallery , is
130 fet. This central space is spanned by
eight trusses , resting ; ipon stronsr buttresses
of timber , and sustaining the roof , It forms
a dome hko an expanded umbrella. Ihe cen
tral height is ninety-eight feet.
All the interior Is decorated with natural
proaucts , out i\oven into finer forms thaa
those on the exterior. In large part the dec
orations of the interior are the -work cf Sioux
City ladies , ot whom an averasre of 300
worked daily for two iveeks. They -were
supplied by the management \\ithmaterials
and laborers ,
The building will be lighted electrically ,
dav as well as ni ht , there being nearly one
thousand separate lights. There are eats
and flra escapes by which tha building can be
cleared In two nlauus The Elirin military
band will give three concerts daily in tbo
palace during the festival , -which opened
today and closes October 11. Each day there
will be a parade or other street aemonMra-
tlons , the most important of which is the
MurdlGras carnival parade on Wednesday ,
