WASHINGTON' , Jane 14. Charles Edgar
fill , the former Carnegie workman wh has
made the chief dscJoseres eoBceralas de
fective armor plate fornl bd tbe govern
ment , was before the congressional Invftsti-
caUng committee today. The beartas drew
together many interested spectators , includ
ing naval experts and members of congress
not directly prosecuting the Investigation.
Tb ° re was little of a criminal character in
the testimony entll SHI told of the manner
In which he made written reports on the re-
ault of certain processes of manufacture.
These reports were then put oa the desk of
Superintendent Kline , who changed them so
is to make them shew that the processes
conformed to the reqttlrments and specifica
tions of the government contract. Sill tosk
his report from original entries on Elate *
used by the workmen , show ng what they
hid actually done. After Kliae Has changed
the reports they were returned to Sill , who
made up a complete report , inctadicg Kline's
alterations , to be submitted t ? the govern
ment oQcials as the record of what had been
done. Kltne had directed this to be done.
Kline made many alterations In the original
report. Mr Sill said he had "kept tab" on
these alterations and be had hli ntes w'.th
him. Kline changed dates in order that the
government Inspectors should not detect that
the wcrk as reported was not within the
capacity of the milL The books as kept by
Snperinteadent Kline showed the actual work
In black ink. and the alterations as sub
mitted to the government oEdals were in
red ink. At the suggestion of Chairman
Cumm.cg * "fake work" was used by the
committee and witness to designate these al
terations.
"What was the percentage cf this 'fake
work" " asked Mr. Cummings.
"From 75 to SO per cent was 'fake work. '
I think that would be a fair average. "
Mr. Sill related bow Superintendent Kline
had given orders for retreating ends of
plates to cover up defects. The order was
written and verbil and by diagram. Sill showed
a rough diagram , which constituted one of
the orders. The diagram , which was closely
scrutinized by the committee. Sill said , was
made by Kline , and the wording on it was
In Kline's handwriting. "Witness had a
bundle of these diagrams.
"Do you mean to say , " asked Representa
tive Dolliver , "that these diagrams were for
the purpose of producing false and fraudulent
results on the government ? "
"I do. "
"And he left the evidence of this bogus
work in your hands ? "
"He did. "
"How much did you get from the govern
ment as an Informer ? " asked Mr. Dolliver.
"Sir thousand dollars , " answered SHI , who
said ie was led to make the disclosures
through the Ill-treatment he and others re
ceived from Kline. The latter. Sill said ,
was a "human brute. "
Witness said be submitted his story to
Fittsborg attorneys and then to ex-Solicitor
Jenks. It was given to the secretary of the
navy. In response to close questioning SHI
eald he and attorneys had talked over the
amount to be derived from the government
He and other Informers had first hoped that
they would get a government position. Sill
aid on further crass-examination that the
workmen had no motive rn- interest In the
Irregularities. They worked on time and
were not benefited by a larger output. Tie
company and superintendents "the ones
to get the benefit. "If the government of
ficers had known the actual cond.tlon of the
work they would have rejected 75 per cent
of such work-as was accepted. "
Sill read from his notes the specific plates
cith plugs and blowholes. They included
two plates of the conning tower of the Ore *
goa. One plate had a hole as large as a
man's hand , which was plucged up. Mr.
Cummings asked what had become of the
books which showed the real work done.
Sill said he had seen Superintendent Kline
burn two of the bocks. The other three
had disappeared. Sill said he had seen Mr.
Prick about the plant occasionally. He did
not know about the books which had been
burned. The company was told by Charles
Craig , one of the informers , that the work
men were giving information to the Navy de
partment. Crais had first Informed the de
partment and had then gose to the com
pany and offered to sell out cheap. Craig
was ultimately paid by the government Io >
his Informau8n.
The committee then took up Sills books
and notes and be explained in detail the
Irregularities and the alterations of the re
ports made by Superintendent Kline ,

will iave every member of the senate before
them before ceasing this line of their in
quiry. The Idea of the committee is to
have every senator answer for himself as
to whether he has bought or said sugar
ttock , furnished information concerning the
tarlE legislation on sugar or has been in
any way improperly InSnenwd in his of
ficial actions by the trust. It is not known
yet what senators will be called first
Charles Coster of the firm pi Drexel , Mor
gan & Co. of New York was on th * stand
today , and be was summoned because of
reports that his firm had bought and sold
Urge quantities of sugar Mock. Mr. Coster
cald that he knew of no speculation in the
lock by senators or of any eZart to in
fluence legislation In any manner by the
Sugar trust , and with this statement he
was excused.

day , while Mr. SearUs as rtstilytap , Senator -
tor Allen said"As a merabr ef the com

company for /political purposes in tbe years
1892 and 1S83. and that upon failure to tes
tify upon that subject they shall be re
ported to tb senate as other witaeasea have
been reported. "
Mr Searles told the committee the cir
cumstances under which be met Senator
Jones and discassed with him the sugar
schedule of the tariff bllL Mr. Searles' \ < o-
sitirn was that at I1- cents as the price
of ( fi3 degree sugar a tax of 1 cent a pound ,
or 40 p r cent , the present rate , was exces-
clve. Far refined sugar be argued the tax
sbcuM be U GO per 160 Instead of { 1.48.
"That U true , " Mr. S arl c quoted the
senator as replying. "but the senate will
not riie more than JMO per 108. That can
not be doae. The committee will BM tax re
fined sugar above Jl 44. "
1 said. " continued the witness , "the only
other thing to do is to begin with SO de
crees and tax that Bg r at cdgbt-lenths ef
a cent. That will bring you to J1.4 on re
fined sugar. "
Senator Jones replied : "Ys , bat the
Louisiana senator ! will not take eight-tMths
of a cent fer SO-deerte sugar. They want
a 1 cent protection en that. They have
put In a peg at S * decrees. 1 cent p r pound ,
the committee have put another on refined

WASHINGTON' , Jane 14. Some routine
business preceded the resumption of the
tariff debate in the senate today. Bills
were passed as follows : To pay Joeeph
Bedfern , one of the Ford theater victims ,
JI.7S4 ; to authorize the appointment of
women as pvbHc jchocl tnutees in the Dis
trict of Columbia : for the development aad
encouragement of silk culture In the Vnited
States ; to pay the heirs of Judge Badger
IS.OM. A bill for the relief of the h i.-s
of John Weightman , paceed some time ago ,
w s , on mot en of Mr. Qusy , reconsidered
and recommitted.
When the tariff bill was Uid before the
senate Mr. Lodge took the floor with an argu
ment against free wocl.
Mr Teller of Colorado followed Mr. Lodge
with some remarks in favor of a duty on raw
wool. While discusfing the redaction tf the
rates oa wooleas Mr Hawley Interrupted Mr.
Teller to remark that these reductions would
result Inevitably in lowering the wages ef
the operative ! 30 or 40 per cent.
WILL REDUCE WAGES OR QUIT.
"Either a reduction of wages or the manu
facturers would quit. "
"They will not qclt , " replied Mr. Teller ,
"they have too much capital involved. They
will reduce wages , end the operatives , faced
with starvation , will stand the reduction.
Men who live by the r labrr cannot make a
successful contest acainst capital. "
Messrs. Hoar , Hlgglns , Chandler and
Dolph fpoke against free wocL During the
prepress of Mr. Dolph's speech he remarked
thit it was whispered about the senate that
the opposition to the bill had surrendered
and that the bill would pas > before the end
of the present mrnth. If be could prevent
it , he declared , the bni would not be voted
upon until the people had a chance to give an
expression cf their opinion at the general
election this fall.
When the hour cf 6 o'clock arrived Mr.
Harris showed no signs of moving an ad
journment. Mr. Quay Interupted Mr. Dolph
and asked him if it would not be con
venient for him to proceed tomorrow.
"But the seaator has not concluded his re
marks , " suggested Mr. Harris.
"He Isailling to wait until tomorrow , "
said Mr. Quay.
"The senator from Oregon , " returned Mr.
Harris sarcastically , "has not been heard
from before on this bll ! and I trust the sen
ator from Pennsylvania will afford the full
est opportunity for him to proceed with his
remarks. Let him go oa tonight , " he
added with an imperious wave of his hand ,
but Mr. Quay was not -willing , and after
stating that the usual hour of adjournment
had passed , he moved to adjourn. The mo
tion was lost , 1C to 23 , wnereapon Senator
Quj y moved that , the senate proceed with the
consideration of executive business. This
motion -was also defeated , but it was ap
parent that the democratic managers could
not force the hands of the republicans to
night. and .Mr. Harris , after again calling
attention to the interminable delay on the
blll. yielded and the senate adjourned at
6:15.

sailing marked the first meeting today of

ragua canal plan that the members feel Jus
tified in predicting that the measure will
be prepared within a week. Several points
were agreed upon today. Although Repre
sentative Bryan's scheme for a currency
issue to construct the canal found .some
favor. It was definitely abandoned and Sen
ator Morgan's plan will furnish the founda
tion for the bill , which provides for the
usual method of raising funds by means of
a bond issue. It was practically decided
that the government's share of the bonds
shall be t70.000.000. The members agreed
to insert in the bill a proviso that the canal
company must at some early date ( prob
ably January 1 , 1S95) ) satisfy the secretary
of the treasury that all outstanding debts
or contracts have been canceled and satis
fied , that the affairs of the Maritime com
pany's auxiliary , the Contract company.
have been Fettled and that that company
has gone out of existence. The government
will guaranteee the funds ivjth which to
settle the affairs of the present company.
bet matters must be arranged so that the
government will find no complications on
its hands , and this wm b the first condi

trades :
A good deal of Bessemer ore has beea

and aa advance of about lOc to 15c per ton
over the lowest prlcts.-has been secured.
t or delivery during the next three or f our
months { 11 to HLCa Is being asked for Bes
semer pig la tne valleys. The prices at
which Bessemer Is held have encouraged
preparations to start toine outside idle
plants and have caused some furnaces
which run on foundry iron usually
to switch oft en Bessemer. The soft stetl
trade Is still at sea- Chicago appears to be
the most active market in some of the
leading lines. Throughout the east tbe de
mand { a every line continues exceedingly
slow. In fact , the Indifference of buyers
ia the face of threatened scarcity has bea
phenomenal.
The Lake Superior copper companies have

for Contempt.
Late last evening tbe United States mar
shal fer Colorado eapUred twenty vf tbe
Carter Commonwealers at Jvfeetarg and pot
tbem on board a special train for Denver.
These men were the leaders ef tbe gang that
undertook te get a train oQt of Jalestmrg
Wednesday night.
At midnight or a little after the Commoa-
wealers broke Into tbe Union PacISc round
boa&e at Jalesburg Junction and took pos
session of an engine , which they proceeded
to fire ap , later running it oat on tbe tracks
and began switching tbeir box cars throoeh
the yards , but In passing over a e itch that
had evidently been ralrplaced two ears and
the engiae were ditched. But this accident
didn't pat the leas : particle of a damper on
tbe Industrials , wbo bodily set th ; box cars
back oa tbe track , bat the 60-ton eagin * 773.
was too heavy a load for even 500 Industrials
to lift , aad they abandoned the attempt to
get oat of Colorado for the present.
Everything wa ? quiet at Julesbnrg up till
2 o'clock yesterday , accord.ng to dispatches
received st headquarters , hot there was ap
parently a fear that last night might bring
on a fight between tbe oeputy marnai :
under Marshal Jones of Colorado and the
Coxeyltes. and the Nebraska recruited depu
ties to the number of ISO were rushed west
In the afternoon on a special running as the
first section of No 1. which was scheduled to
leaveat 2 o'clock. Ensine 672 pulled tbe
special through under the guidance of Engi
neer Frank Goedsall aad Fireman John Ball ,
the train having stood near the east end of the
Union Pacific yards eier since 9 n clock ,
with orders to leave at any time Deputy
Marshal Cctrceehall should determine.
The United States marshal's o2ce had a
very warlike appearance yesterday , as
Deputy Coggsball was engaged In swearing
in and arming 125 men as spec al deputies
ube were to go as far as Ogallala and head
off the crowd there In case they got through.
In response to orders from the court. Dputy
Coggshall appointed ex-Police Captain Cor-
niick as recruiting officer and btcan to or
ganize the men as fast as they were sworn
m. Csptain Conaick carefully selected his
mea , and as they signed tbelr names they
were Informed that this was to be no pleas
ure excursion , as same hard fighting might
have to be done. After the men were sworn
In they began arming themselves with Win
chesters and large revolvers.
When the marshal sent out word that he
wanted 150 deputies abaut 259 men assembled
la th federal building la hopes of getting a
chance to earn $5 a day. but as many of
them were unqualified for the wcrk they
uent away dlszppo.ated. Most of tbe police
oScers who were discharged Wednesday night
were sworn Ia. The mea will be In charpe of
Deputies Ccggshall and Liddiard and er-

Telegram to Tbe Bee. ) Early this morning
the railroad eraplsyni here were called cct
eamas&e to recapture tbe train seized at
Julesbtirg cy the Colorado Industrial army.
Word was shortly received that the train
had been ditched before it got away from
Jcleburg. Afterward a detachment of the
army captured a train and reached Ogalalla.
where the train was sidetracked. Walkiag
from Ogalalla to Paxton another train was
seized , when United States marshals In
terfered , arresting tsn of the leaders. The
latter are now la Jail at thU place. Much
anxiety Is felt here at the approach of the
Industrials , the main body being still at
Jtilesburg. over 500 strong. Being anable
to get tbe engine of the captured train out
of the ditch , their Intention is to seize tbe
first train from the west. All freights from
the west are delayed.
A Julesburg telegram to The Bee says.
"Coxeyism has become very unpopular la
Julesburg in the last six hours. At noon
today they were almost without a leader ,
as they had several splltups and were
almost at the point of breaking up. At 1
o'clock General Adams received a message
from Denver stating that 100 deputy mar
shals were enroute here to cap-
tore the army for stealing tbe
engine last night , and he immediately
began making arrangements to get out of
town. All provision that they could not
transport by one team was disposed of. aad
about 100 mea started across the country
on foot for the B. & M. , but later changed
their minds and went to Bi ? Springs. Neb.
About 100 got out last night , aad about 6
o'clock the long-looked-fnr train , with 120
deputy marshals , armed with Winchesters ,
arrived and took the remainder , under com
mand of Captain. Burns. In out cf the cold.
They were loaded Into two bcx cars
aad shipped back to Denver. The deputies
were under command of Colonel Jones of
Denver , and came by special train. One
hundred and twenty-five armed deputies are
at Big Springs aad will take General Adams
and his men In.
"General Carter of the Utah men , who are
coming , down the river In boats. Is here aad
complains very bitterly because General
Adams took possession of all supplies sent
here for him and his army. The boats are
expected here tomorrow , but will not be al
iened to land. All Is quiet here now and
the people , as well as tbe railroad company , 1
feel greatly relieved. The citizens have had
all of the Coxey movement they want and
the next contingent that arrives will be
treated with scant courtesy and compelled
to move on. "

CHICAGO. Juae 11. The Western Pas
senger association lines have decided to
boycott the Lake Erie & Western , bet
whether the boycott will ever amount to
anything Is another matter. A formal
notice tras sent this afternoon to General
Passenger Asent Daley of the Lake Erie
& Western that after June Is no tickets
of his line -nui be hoacrctl by any I'ne of
tbe association. After dispatching this
declaration of war , the meeting sent word
to Passenger Traffic Manager While of the
Atchlson. announcicc the decision arrixeU
at and recue Uns the Atchison to cooperate
erate with the association lines In bamni ;
out the Lake Erie & Western tickets. Mr.
White at once sent ord to tie meein ? that.
his ruadwould not boycott the Lake Krle
& Western , but , on the ntrnryuculd
honor any aad all tickx.3 issued by that
line that came the -par of the Mch's-tn.
Mr. White reminded the affoclation that
itvraa only a few weeks bark that his road ,
then a member of the association , bud
made a rebuts. ! that the- Atchison be af
forded relief from the Southern PUaHSc ,
an outside line , which was. he claimed ,
rr.nKlrrK rates which were demorahrfng to
the-buylness of the Atchissa. Hewas de
nied the relief ai-Ued. ati l ro-w the asso
ciation -was asking him to join In a. l-oycott
against , an outside yjie under ihe > iona
section of the astrsonvnt unJer which he
had arfced relief under precisely icidilur
arctxzastaaces. It had } > een rcfjsed to
him and the Atchumn road bad been
laughed at * cr presumlas' to ask such a
thing. If the agreement did not -permit n
boycott ajrainst the Southern PacUw U did
not permit a boycott a alast The 'Losv-
Erie & Western , and. at any rate , the
Atchison tvxaild have Tsotbui to do wlta
the proposed boycott.
Charsts are made that the Burllnfftoa
road has been cutting tbe rate from Iten-
ver to Chlcaco and return for a party ot
school teachers. It Is alleged that the road
has made a rate of Sfi 63. which is about
one-half of the agreed rate. The Burtms-
tea denies in the most posmve terms that
it has done anything cf tbe tand , but the
other lines -not only claim they have photo
graphs of the tickets bat some of the
tickets aswell. .
The Rio Grande Western Is also accused
of cutting the rate between Salt Lake City
and Chicago. It bas been asked for an
explanation , and on intimation has been
given that unless the explanation is given
a boycott may be Instituted against the
road.

If Sam Payne , who confessed to the mur
der ef Mauae Rubel , had remained la
Omaha last nicbt he might not have been
lynched , bat be would undoubtedly hava
had the worst fright of his life.
There as a good deal of lynch talk both
in Omaha and South Omaha yesterday
after tn ] > ople had read Payne s confes
sion in the papers , and last evening the
word pased arocnd at South Omaha was :
"Payne will be strung up at 11 o clock. "
A great many of the packing house men
turned out on the streets end stood about
In little groups talking. Nearly all wera
willing to express the opinion that If Payne
znurdertd the girl he should be settled with
at once , and cuen remarks as "hanging la
too good for him" were common.
A Bee rejwrter went to Mr. Rafael's home ,
He was Invited into the front parlor by the.
bereaved father and mother. Mr. Bnbel
was asked if he Intended going to Omaha
during the night , and he said positively
thit he did not. "I propose to let the law
take its course. If I had the slightest doubt
that the authorities would be lax In tha
prosecution of Payne I would be In favor
of almost anything , but I have not. I an
certain the man will bs prosecuted and pun
ished. May the Lard have mercy on my
poor daughter's soul. I have been praylns
night and day for that. No father ever
loved his daughter desrer t n I , but J
would not go to tha jail and assist In aaG-
.bing Payne unless I feared that he was golnc
to escape.-
Mr. Kubel has a. grown con , and for fear
the boy would be induced to go to Omaha
he called him into the house while the re
porter was there and warned him against
doing anything that he might regret. Mrs.
Rebel also expressed herself on a possible
lynching. She said that if any of her .fzjnfry
shculd take part in such a proceeding &ha
wsuld always feel as though she , like Payne ,
had committed murder , and she preferred
to let the cose go through Its regular fcrcL
in the courts.
WOCLD SEE OMAHA HANG HIM.
The .sentiment expressed by Mr. and Mrs.
Rube ! being made known to the crowds en
the street , the men said , "Well , then , wa
won't hang Payne , but we will go to Omaha
and watch Omaha hang him. Accordingly ,
between 200 snd 330 men men took the street
cars and came up to Omaha , getting off at
Sixteenth and Howard streets and assem
bling about S.36 o'clock at Seventeenth and
Harney streets. Their appearance there at
tracted all passers-by and the rumor was
soon current thst a cub was at the county
Jail attempting to get Payne out. Presently
tne crowd around Boyd's theater and oa
Harney and T-fteenth streets had swelled to
the number of about 3.000.
The condition of affairs during the after
noon was well knwn by the police. In the
evening they had been Informed where
crcwds were eongregiting both In Omiha
and South Omaba. Chief Seavey ordered th -
entire police force to report at ths station at
7 o'clock. Only a few men were as-igned to
beats , the rest remaining at the station
under orders.
County Jailer Miller had alro prepared
for possible trouble. He called to the Jail
all the deputy sheriffs and armed both them
and his own force with Winchesters as well
as revolvers. "He said firmly that he would
resist to the last extremity any attempt
that might be made to break Into the Jail
and gave his men to understand that whea
ordered to shoot they should do so with ,
as much effect as possible.
Whea the mob assembled at Slxt-snth
and Harney streets Miller telephoned to
the police station for twenty-five men , and
they ere soon there in patrol wagons , with
Chief Seavey and Captain Mostyn at their
head. Four oScers were assigned to guard
the entrance to the roadway leading up to
the Jail and others patrolled the streets
on all tides.
In this condition the situation remained ,
until iloioK midnight. There was no sign
that IB * mob meant business and the Im-
prencion was that no violence would ba
attempted , Jai'er ' Miller said that he wou.d
be willing to have a commutego through
the Jail to see if Payne was there , but no
move was male in thl direction.
Shortly before 15 o'clock a number of the
men were seen to move east on Harney ztreet
a short distance , where a man made a talk
to the effect Uat tbe time had come for
them to incite on the Jail.
He had hardly uttered the last word when
the police made an effort to restrain him.
Instantly the police wore thrust aside and a
ni h made for the court hou&e square The
mob got as far a * tlte roadway entrance and
some made an effort to climb the wails , -when
the police charged upon them. It appeared
as though a resistance t > ld be made , but
tbe mob was driven back. Within tires
minute * from tbe time tbe mob made the
r h for the yard the police had them un4er
control. When tbe strti were fairly chared
Frank Moore * partly gained the attfntca cf
U > crowd. Mr. Moores said : -"Citizens , I
give you ray word and honor as a man for
whom yott have voted twice that Sam Payne
Is In tne penitentiary t Lincoln. He Is not
ia the county Jail and has not been there
sine * 6 o'clock. Do not bring tbe disgrace
of mob violence upon our city. Disperse and
Co to your boraes. "
READ WARDBN BEEMER'3 RECEIPT.
Jafct then Sheriff Drcxel. who had Just
returned from Lincoln , appeared. He
banded Mr. Moores a receipt from Warden
Bwn r for San Payne. Moore read thu to
tbe crowd and It had come weltbt. H
called upon any who doubted to read It. and
