On cross-examination Smith testified : I
mil a prohibition ! ) ! . I tlilnlc Emerson voted
the stral Kht prohibition ticket. I don't know
what became of tlio crowu that followed us

prevented , cither In this precinct or any
other , from voting cither for Uoyd , lllchards
or 1'owors. 1 voted for the amendment. 1
decline to sav for whom I voted for governor.
Silas W. Wilson of aSl7 OrchnrU street ,
Omnlin , win the next witness. Ho testified :
I voted in the Second precinct of the Ninth
ward , I went half an hour hoforo the polls
wcro oin'iicil. The Judges did not open the
ballot box so that the people could sco the In-
Bldo of It. I went early to sco the box ex
posed , I peddled tickets for all the parties.
They were all opposed to thonetnndmcnt.
A number ol the 1'ersonnl Hlghls league ,
people were Uoyd badjes. Two men cnmo up
In a hiiKpyniul after seeing what tickets I
was peddling they told the crowd that these
tickets .should bo torn up. Mo tickets wcro
taken from mo forcibly.
A icdhot dobnto ntwo over the following
question : "Did thu advleo of Mr. Uoyd to
the Personal lights Icnfiuo. go to tbo extreme -
tremo of advising the Personal Ittghts league
to take up arms If need bo to resist ! "
Objection wa ? made to this and Attorney
Tobbetts ruled that sueh a question was un
fair. Ho bcld that no charge- was mudo that
Uoyd wns a party to the conspiracy.
Mr , Harwood Insisted that the Issue nnd
contest was whether Mr. Powers or Mr.
Uoyd wus elected.
Mr. Strlckler Insisted that Uoyd was talk
ing to his friends when ho addressed the
1'crsonhl lilghts league.
Mr. Wilson Informed Notary Wilson tlmt
) o had nothing to say concerning the rooc-
on of testimony , and that n higher court
'id such a power. Notary Tcbhitts finally
admitted the testimony under protest.
The witness answered : "Yes. "
Court adjourned until 2 p. in.
A FTKIINOON SKSSIOX.
A 2 p. m. tbo witness was cross-examined.
8Io testified as follows : Mr. Uoyd said lit the
j'crsoiml lilghts league meeting two weeks
Before election i "if there are any laws madu
In tlls | country infringing upon your rights
ot the persons assembled that ho would aid
thorn In resisting , "
Tlio ( lumiou was asked by Harwood :
"Would you say that GeorgoWashiiiKtonand
his colleagues were anarchists because they
tolerated such opinions ! "
Answer Well , I don't know.
Tlio witness continued : 1 don't ' tolerate
nuch unclean papers as Tun P.M.MIA. Uun. I
21rud them long ngo. 1 take the Lincoln Call.
I vote tlio straight republican ticket. I
didn't vote the county ticket. I am an Amor-
Jena , I didn't want to vote for persons not
Americans. I didn't stop to look at the names
t > t tbo comity candidates. It was a rotten
ticket till the sumo. I was peddling republi
can , democrat , indunemlcnt and prohibition
tickets , t was peddling Uoyd tickets. No
ouo prevented mo from voting or challenged
my vote.
JJuv. John A. Henderson of the Third dis
trict of the Ninth ward of Omaha was the
text witness. Objections by Hunvood , Wit
ness testified : I was nt the polls from 0 n.
ai. until about lip. in. election day. No ono
& ! tcrforoil with mo when I went to voto.
u'hero were violent threatening toward mo ,
J wns cursed. I wns called by muny unpleas
ant names when I was talking to some la
dles , 1 was told that I had no business there.
Threatening and Improper language wns
used , I was pushed upon the ladles , not violently
lently , but disordqrly , very. The crowd wns
shoved against us , I mean. There wns ono
I policeman present. Ho did not , to my knowl
edge , arrest anybody. I wns present through
I' a spirit of friendship toward the prohibition
cause.
Cross-oxnminntlon : I was not hurt except
In my feelings. I voted the republican ticket
nnd for tbo amendment. There was some
'Interference in ono voto. An old man , I don't
know his name , wanted to vote the repub
lican ticket and for tbo amendment. I fixed
his ticket for him. Ho reached tlio polls with
irrcnt ditllculty , The crowd tried to confuse
I him nnd make him bcllovo bo had the wrong
ticket. I saw nobody that day who wished
to vote for Mr. Powers who was interfered
with from so voting , In the afternoon I
returned to tbo polls. Had I "suspected I
would have been killed 1 would
not Imvo returned. Tno man who threat
ened rae shook his lists In my face , but did
nothing more. I was not afraid. 1 saw no
body driven from the polls. Nobody was
treated so violently ns I \ \ \ \ * , although a num
ber were treated somewhat ai I was. My
belief Is that tlio violence ) grow not out of
the feeling concerning the candidates , but
concerning the matter of prohibition.
Js. Ostcrhohn of Nineteenth and Cnss
streets , of Omaha , wns called. Testimony
objected to. IIo testified ; I peddled repub
lican , democratic. Independent and prohibi
tions tickets In the Third precinct of the
.Eighth ward. The tickets favored the pro
hibition amendment. I was told that the
tickets were spurious. An epg was thrown
, ntnio. My brother who came toward mo
i was struck with an egg. I gave the persons
f no occasion for assault. I do not know that
it would have been unsafe to challenge Uoyd
tickets.
Cross examination : I did not see nnvono
I deterred from voting for whatever candidate
ho chose ,

thu Ninth ward of Omaha wns the next wit

uta for nil the parties , but all favor-
1 ing tbo prohibition amendment There were
i three tickets deposited In the ballot box
which were for the amendment. I saw a
man take tickets out of the hands of voters
nnri say , "You Imvo the wrong tickets. " The
j voters soonied to bo confused mid ignorant.
The man had tickets nnd ho gave them to
him. I suw three persons with Persona
KlghtH lenguo.bndgos on. 1 was near tlio poll
ing window. A regular jiollcomnn took mo
nwny from the polling window. Ho said I
had no right tboro as I was not a voter , Mr.
Coo drove up. Ho said for mo not to remain
there. Ho llvos in tbo sumo ward that I do
I appealed to him for protection. Ho led mo
outside of the crowd. Coo's sentiments
Bcemed to bo In sympathy with the crowd ani
the policeman.
Cross examination : I wns not Interfere !
with In casting my vote , The whole ntm o
the crowd scorned to bo to defont prohibition
and elect Hoyd , I couldn't say that nnj
Hlchards men were working ; against the
amendment.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Passage of the Pension Appropriation Bill
by the House ,
CONSIDERABLE DEBATE ENSUES UPON IT ,
The Secretary of War Authorized to

Tlio Senate.
WASIIIXOTOX , Dec. fi. In the house Mr.
Mtcucon of Michigan called up the senate
olnt resolution authorizing the Bccrotary of
vnr to Issue 1.000 stand of arms to each ot
ho states of North and South Dakota ,
iV'voinhifj und Nebraska. On motion of Air.
Sartor of Montana , Montana was Included hi
ho provisions of the joint resolution , which
vns then passed.
The house wont Into comtnlttoo of the
vholo on the pension appropriation bill.
Mr. Outhwaltoof Ohio referred to yester
day's talk about the commissioner of pen
sions and criticised the conduct of that
ofllcer In the recent campalen.
Mr. Cutchcon suggested that Commissioner
Hade had taken part In congressional clee-
Ions.
Ions.Mr.
Mr. Outhwnlto replied that It Ulack hnd
done such things nt Hnuiu hnd done ho
should liavo been brought to Justice. IIo
-hen proceeded to reproach the republican
muse with shirking IU duty , arguing that
tlio pending bill would show a deficiency of
ovcr$3JUOiOJl ) ) .
Mr. Henderson of lowasnld the deficiencies
md begun when the democrats cnmo Into
control uml cut the appropriations so short
.bat during tlio lost vear there was a de-
Iclency of ? 25,000.000 ,
Mr. Dockory said that a few months ago ho
stood on tills floor and declared that the re
publicans were refusing for purtv purposes
to appropriate within ? l.r > ,000,000 ot the
imount required for pensions under the ex
isting law. This declaration was nlmostHUb-
stantlutcd by the fact that the commissioner
io\v came asking for a deficiency of $11,500-
JOO. Mr. Dooitery then branched into a dis
cussion of the general financial condition of
the country , presenting tables to show that
there will bo n dolictieacy July 1,181)2 , of over
* S7.SOu,000 , and said this did not Include nny
deficiency for the fiscal years 18U1 or 1SW ex
cept the tnnalon deficiency.
Mr. BrcckenrulB'o ot Kentucky said this
was not n question as to' whether
the nrescut commissioner had taken
l > art In the recent campaign or whether
the former commissioner was guilty of tlio
charges made against him. The point was
that the probabilities are that within seven
years there will bo 1,000,000 pensioners on
the rolls , who will bo paid ? ITO,000,000 nnnu-
ally. The first necessity wns to meet the
question franicly by adcqueto appropriations ;
the second was to raise a committee to In
vestigate the bureau thoroughly , have tlio
list revised and strike oil unworthy pension
ers ; the third was to transfer the bureau to
the war department and take It out of tlio
domain of polities. Iloro were the i > ooplo
struggling under burdens that had so dis
tressed them that they wcro seeking now
alliances. Lot congress meet the matter
franklyi
Mr. Peters of Kansas made an exhaustive
argument to sbow that the appropriation
carried by the bill was amply suftlcicnt.
Tlio democratic party was nlway- flooded
with tears in behalf of the sol
dier when it was out of power , but
when it was In power It was quite n different
thing. The democratic party was endeavor
ing to embrace the farmers' alliance move
ment. IIo conceded that the republican party
In Kansas had run against this movement nnil
received n black eyo. Unt the time was com
ing when n cyclone would strike the demo
cratic states. The republican party would
revive because "truth crushed to earth will
rise again. " Ho wanted the Klfty-sccond
congress to pass the sub-treasury bill , the
frco coinage bill and the service pension bill ,
and unless his democratic friends would do
all that tliov would find that thuwave , of the
farmers' alliance would wipe them froin the
face of tbo earth.
In concluding the debate Mr. Morrow of
California agreed that the'amount carried by
the bill wns nil , if n'ot moro than all ; that
would bo required by the pension bureau
during the coming year.
On motion of Mr. Dockery an amendment
was adopted providing that no agent or at
torney shall demand , receive or bo allowed
any compensation on a claim for an Increase
of pension on account of increase of disabil
ity. It is estimated that this will save
? Ti,000,000 to pensioners within the next three
years.
Mr. Springer offered an amendment In
creasing to $150,000OtX , ) the appropriation.
There was no excuse , ho said , for n republi
can house to make nn inado.iuato appropria
tion and throw the deficiency on a democratic
house.
After further debate the committee rose ,
the bill was passed and the house adjourned.

President llnrrlnnu Transmits thu
Corrrflpomlonco to the Iliuifln.
WASHINGTON , Deo. 5. The president today
transmitted to the house the correspondence
growing out of the killing of General Bar-
rundm by the Guatemala authorities , In his
first letter to Secretary Blalno , under date ot
August 20 , In regard to the killing , Miznor
alludes to his telegram to Captain Pitts , In
forming him that under tbo law of nations
Guatemala had a right to take from u neutral
ship la Guatemalan waters in time ot wai
any person for nny cause deemed nn offense
under international law. IIo further ln <
formed Captain Pitts that allegations had
been made to the legation that Barriindla
wns hostile to Guatemala. Guarantees" had
bocn made to him ( Mizncr ) that Harrundlu's
life should not bo In danger for the causes
charged. Ml/nor says that ho received n
telegram from Commander Itoltcr of the
United States ship Thetis , acknowledging
Guatemala's right over the steamer and
requesting Mlzucr to obtain permission from
the government to return Darrnndla to Moxlcc
In the Thetis. The minister of foreign rolfc
tions positively declined to accede to this re-
nuost. All thu circumstances nnd Itarruu-
diu's well known hostility to Guatemala und
attempted Invasion from Mexico , .Ml/net
suyu , decided his course , and ho accordingly ,
In response to u request for written , not tuUv
graphic orders , sent CapUilu Puts a lottci
advising him to submit to the arrest of bis
passenger. Tbo following duy Commando )
Ueltnr telegraphed Darrundla's death. Mlz <
nor says ho afterwards called on the inlnlstei
of foreign relations for an explanation of the
affair. In this Interview the uilnistci
stated with emphasis that Guato
mala had Riven positive orders to
take Barniiillmrotn , the Aciiptilco ,
oven to Inking' iha ship , notwithstanding
It might linvn- involved n conflict with our
two war vessel ? then In the harbor.
The correspmid'ejico ' closes with n letter
from Socrotnrjrlilaltio to ( Aligner , under date
of November 1 ? , hi which the secretary says !
"Tho more thnfiiipstlon U examined In the
light of imtxJpdtit facU , tnrdlly disclosed ,
Llio deeper becomes the regret tlmt you so
fnr exceeded ydur Icgltlinnto authority ns to
sign n paper which , in the bands of Guate
malans , became rthelr warrant for the cap
ture of IJarrundlnl 1 am awnrc , " says Mr.
Uhilne. "that after nil you merely advised
Captnlu Pitts of.UJs duty , but the captain did
not simply scpk.'advice. In Ids telegram
from Champcrlcp ho said ho was 'awaiting
your Instructions , 'lind ' expected nt San Jose
your written , orders. " There Is not the
slightest suggestion Hint Captnlu Pitts could
act otherwise than by your order and your
responsibility. "
The secretary says : "Through MIzncr'sac
tion the nuvnl force of Iho United States hi
these waters became nn acquiescent specta
tor of events. A thorough merchant vessel
the United States wns then lying under the
muzzle of the guns manned by men who , ns
you state , you had every reason to believe
were prepared to revolttonny nctof violence ,
even as the minister of foreign relations has
sliico declared , to sinking the ship. I am not
disposed , " continued Mr. HUdne , "to pay
iiiuluo regard to these post-fncto thioat.H. To

Innocent llv-ps In execution of n purpose
for the accomplishment of which nothing
In valid excuses so far have been advanced

como wlien the courhO of events In Guate
mala or the declared purpojo of her rulers
constrain this government to insure the
safety of Its merchant vessels entering the
waters of Guatemala by stationing uaval
vessels along the coast nnd opposite the ports
of that country. "
Secretary Ulalno Informs Mizncr that If
Instead of accepting the lawless and turbu
lent condition of affairs as n ground of his
advice nnd consent to the surrender of Bar-
rundle ho had the basts of a suggestion of
Commander Roller to offer him hos
pitality on board n naval vessel
within or without the waters of Guatemala
and with or without the consent of bis gov
ernment , his action would have had the sanc
tion of a humane and recognized precedent.
On more than one occasion this government
has permitted Its legations and ships of war
to offer hospitality to political refugees. This
Is done from motives of humanity. Tlio gov
ernment's views would not have been less
pronounced if , In addition to tbo humane as
pect of tho. subject , It had also been confront
ed with the duty ot preventing the decks of
Its merchant vessels from being made the
theater of illegal violence upon groundless
nnd unlawful excuses nnd without even n
pretense of legal formality. "For your course ,
therefore. I can discover no justification.
You were promptly informed that your act
was regretted. I am now directed by the
president to inform jou thai it b disavowed.
The president is , moreover , of the opinion
that your usefulness in Central America is at
at an ond. "
