In the early afternoon, K street and the vicinity of the Arlington were gay with promenaders, not a few ladies and gentlemen. making calison foot.

BRINGING THE CANINES BEFORE THE JUDGES, The visitors to the dog show this morning, of which there were a large number, were very much interested in the square inclosure in the center of the butiding, where the judges sat, and where the dogs were brought before them to be judged. The interest which arises from seeing the flne points of a good dog was this morning enhanced by the fact that the first dogs judged were the bull dogs. These misanthropic: looking eanines were dragged into the sawdust arena by strong chains, and as they indulged in a good many vicious plunges and furtive snaps at distant logs, the spectator gazed upon them with a composure which was only. measured by his confidence in the strength of their chains. It 1s unnecessary to say that the bull dogs were not allowed to crowd exch other while ben judged, and for that matter they were not crowded Y a polite and deferential thronz of spectators. A TYPICAL BULL DOG, Dog fanciers say that they look more vicious than they really are, and Mr. James Mortimer, of New York, who owns the dog Blister, who was awarded this morning the first prize, says that his, children play with Blister and lay down by him and go to sleep. Bitster Is a typical bull dog. His color 1s white; he hag a broad skull, short neck, wrinkles on ‘each stde of is mouth and drooping chops, He has already taken a number of first prizes. The bull dog, by reason of his short upper jaw, 1s not a good fighting dog. They are an English dog and were formerly used to bait bulls, and for this reason their short, Here | hosos was a great help. Forwhen they grasped ab by the nose, their own nose was so far back that they could maintain their grip for a long time witht suffocating. “On cerant, ot {uelt short upper jaws they are not ie ant Eedure the latter, the Bauls are crossed with. the terriers, the object being to preserve the dispo- altion only of the bull dog—namely, its feroctous- ness and tenacity. The typical bull dog has a long snout and red, dissipated eyes, and has a wicked look generally. * AWARDS THIS MORNING. ‘The Judges this morning awarded the first prize to Col. Taylor's Wyoming Territory bull terrier ‘Young Bill, and the second to James Mortimer’s Spring. Henry C. Sellman’s, of Leesburg, Va., ny Was commended, The second prize for bull dogs was awarded to R. and _W, Livi York, Thunderer, and J. @. Fri Va., Top was commended.

Mr. Garland offered a resolution in the Senate to-day for the appointment of a committee of seven Senators to examine into the work now in progress for the improvement of the Mississippi river below Cairo, the committee to hold sessions during the recess of Congress, at places on the river or else- ‘where, to examine persons and papers, snd to re- port at the next session. After remorks on the subject the resolution went over till to-morrow. CHILI AND PERU. Mr. Van Wyck offered a resolution calling on the President for information touching an alleged Joint agreement between the ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy at Lima, Peru, to make a Joint effort to bring about peace between Chili and Peru. and whether the Iinister of the United Statés has been instructed to invite or accept the mediation of European powers in the settlement of a purely American question. Laid on the table. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS, Mr. Hawley, from the committee on military affairs, reported a bill amending the act of July Ist, 1882, as to a monument at Washington’s headquarters at Newburgh, New York. The bill appropriates $25,000, to be expended unter the direction of the Secretary of War in the erection of a sultable monument or column, with such in- scriptions and emblems as may properly commem- orate the historical events which occurred in that Been boriood during the war of the revolution. a ssed. Mr. Miller (California), from the committee on naval affairs, reported a bill requiring an oath from parents or guardians as to age of minors of- fered as recruits for the navy. assed. On motion of Mr. Morrill, one thousand copies of the tariff bill as passed by the Senate were or- dered printed. . e The Senate then went into executive session. THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILI. ‘When the doors-were reopened the Senate pro- ceeded to the consideration of the army appropri- ation bill. The first important amendment re- Ported by the committee on military affairs was the insertion of a paragraph appropriating $143,400 for civilian clerks for the adjutant general's de- partment and for headquarters of miiltary divi- sions and departments. Adopted. The first point that ratsed any discussion was the appropriation committee's amendment that “no officer shall remain-absent from his regiment on duty at Washington city, or on the staff of a major general or a brigadier general, for a longer period than three years at any one time, but this pravieion shall not apply to officers on the staff of he commanding general of the army, to those engaged in supervising the printing of the records of the rebellion, or those engaged on the Wash- ington monument.” [This amendment was a sub- stitute for a similar proviston in the House bill] ‘THR SIGNAL SERVICE. Mr. Harris said the officers in the signal service bureau should also be exempted; that they were pecullary educated for their duties, and to change them would mcessitate the education of new men, Mr. Bayard made a point of order against the amendment, that it was legislation upon an ap- propriation bill. At the request of several Senators Mr. Bayard agreed to let the amendment be considered and perfected, reserving his right to make the point of order late ‘Mr. Maxey opposed the amendment, and main- tained that the signal service bureau ought not to be disturbed in its organization. Mr. Maxey said the public demand was that the sicnal service should not be stricken down, and to compel con- stant changes of the officers would strike it down, Mr. Logan said it had gone all over the country that he Was attacking the signal corps; that was not true. He was not seeking to break’ down the bureau. .The men of the signal corps learn sig- naling and that should be taught to all the army. Mr. Maxey said the signalling was a small part of the duty of the corps. Mr. Logan retorted that it did a great deal more than it was onranized to do; that it had made a long report on the entomology of Alaska. What had the signal corps to do with that? He had in- treduced a biil to divide the service of the signal corps; to confine the signal duty and of teaching it to the signal bureau, and to bave a civil board to perform the duties connected with weather service. He (Logan) had been attacked by the ‘newspapers all over the country for seeking to destroy the signal service, and he had ascertained that those editorials attacking him Were written in the signal bureau here, and paid tor by government money. Mr. Plumb asked fronicaily if he (Logan) thought as 10Se ‘new men could write as good editorials who had been in the bureau 18 years. Mr. Logan was annoyed by. conversation in a rather loud tone in his rear, and turning round he observed Secretary Chandler talking to Senator Rollins and others. Mr. Logan sald: “Mr. Presl- dent, when the Secretaries and Senators get through I will go on,” and theconversation ceased. The debate was tn progress when our report ¢ Confirmations by the Senate. ‘The Senate in executive session to-day con- firmed the following nominations: U. 8. Marshal—Lot Wrient, for the southern district of Ohio. J. H. Teller, of Ohio, to be secre- tary of Dakota Territory; Arthur L. Thomas, of Pennsylvania, to be secretary of Utah Territory. Also fifteen postmasters, including the following: Wilber F. Richard, Clarksburg, W. Va.; Joseph Yager, Gordonsville, Va. House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. O’Nelll, Senate amendments to the pension appropriation bill were concurred in, Mr. Flower presented a memorial of the New York board of trade and transportation asking for the repeal of internal revenue taxes, except on tobacco, beer and distilled spirits. Referred. Also, a memorial of the New York maritime as- sociation, against the transfer of the signal ser- Vice to the Interior de; ent. Referred. Mr. Everett presented dispatches from fron and steel workers of Leen rotesting against the passage of the Senate tarlif bill. Relerred. CONFERENCE ORDERED ON THE P. 0. APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘Mr. Caswell submitted the conference report on the post office appropriation bill, stating that the conferees had been unable to agree. Mr. Caswell explained that the chief points of difference were the items appropriating $185,000 for special mail facilities, and relating to the com- | Seeontes allowed to land grant railroads for mail rangportation, A further conference was ordered, and Messrs. Caswell, Cannon and Ellis appointed as conferees. THE QUESTION OF SEATS IN THE NEXT HOUSE. Mr. Blackburn called up the resolution reported some days ago from the committee on rules pro- Viding for a rearrangement of the desks of the House so mmadate the additional mem- Dership of the next Congress ship of the ne ox (New York) advocated the adoption of a ‘Mr. psn ‘whereby smaller dk and chairs should be y pencet somewhat upon the location of his seat. If e had his Tees he would take the Speak- er’s chair, [Laughter.| Mr. White offered a substitute providing for the removal of the desks. Mr. Reed expressed his individual preference for dividing this “ten acre lot” in two, so that every Inember could be heard. Until that were done, ee) would be no advantage in removing the lesks. The substitute was lost, and the original resolu- tion adopted. Mr. McLane | egg Memorial of Maryland Academy of Science st the transfer of the eae service to the rior department. Re- tert THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House then, at 12:06, went into committee of the whole (Mr. Kasson in the chair) on the sundry civil appropriation bill. ‘The pending amendment was that offered last evening by Mr. McCook, under direction of the military committee, providing that all served for military et enced which, of the Latest iy by tne fa THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL. MR. INGERSOLL EROSS-EXAMINES RERDELL. ANOTHER AFFIDAVIT OF THE WIINESS. HE EXPLAINS HOW HE WAS FORCED TO SIGN IT. When the star route trial was resumed this morning Judge Wylie announced his opinion that the record of the State department, showing the whereabouts and the muster roll of company A, 2ist Infantry, in the spring of 1879, when certain members of the company are represented as hav- ing signed a petition on The Dalles and Baker City route, was not competent evidence. DORSEY FURNISHING THE FIGURES FOR AFFIDAVITS. Mr. Rerdell was then recalled to the stand and Mr. Bliss continued bis examination. He said that the directions given him by 8. W. Dorsey to fill in figures in aMfdavits were specific in every case except in that of an aMdavit on the Toquer- ville and Adairville route, in which case Dorsey told him’to make the figures yield a certain per cent. In the other cases he furnished witness with the figures to insert in the affidavits, IDENTIFICATION OF PAPER. The witness then continued the identification of papers in the handwriting of S. W. Dorsey, John R. Miner and others. When Mr. Bliss had finished the identification of papers, Mr. Merrick continued his examination of the witness, who testified that upon his return from the westin August, 1878, he had a conversa- tion with Miner about A. W. Moore. It was the same conversation in which Miner informed wit- ness of Mr. Vallc’s coming into the concern. Miner sald he had just sent Moore back to Oregon, and that though the service generally was in bad’ con- dition, the service in his (Miner's) name was in very good condition, and he had made arrange- ments with Moore to go to take charge of that service. THE BOGUS ACCOUNT BOOKS. When witness had the bogus set of. account books made, he took the journal and made cross- marks in pencil against all the charges against “Wm. Smith,” and also indicated by the same mark where the amounts had been carried to the profit and loss account. These changes, being et from the copies, made the accounts lance. “Did you,” asked Judge Wylle, “make any changes as to Sam. Jones?” “There was oue charge against Sam. Jones,” said the witness, “and that Was stricken out also.” “Your honor,” sald Mr, Merrick, “I think that clos2s our examination of Mr. Rerdell except as to some written papers, and if the original of those written papers cannot be obtained from the other side, or elsewhere, we will have, probably, to re- call him, andjexamine him as to those papers.” Mr. Bliss stated that he had received word from New York that the Western Union Telegraph wit- hess wanted would leave for Washington to-day. Mr. Davidge objected to going on with the cross- examination until the direct examination was en- ly closed. sald he had the right if he chose to have recalled the witness, but he had made the Statement Of his purpose in the interest of fair- ness. Mr. Davidge having expressed ignorance as to the papers Mr. Merrick wanted, Mr. Merrick said he thought they were in the letter books of the Dorseys. There was some discusston as to the books, and the refusal of the defense to surrender them, “We don’t propose,” said Mr. Davldge, “to be helping the prosecution in this matter.” ‘No, I see not,”said Judge Wylie. not obliged to help them.” “Fortunately,” suld Mr. Bliss, ‘*we don’t need their assistance.” JUDGE WYLIE SArD that probably when the time arrived he would permit the re-examination proposed by Mr. Mer- rick. Mr. Ingersoll then, at half-past 11 o'clock, pre- pared to begin the cross-examination. Judge Wylie sald. to save time and prevent con- fusion, that the cross-examination should be con- ducted by one of the counsel. Mr. Wilson for Brady, and Mr. Henkle for Valle “You are and Miner, said they would ask the privilege of examining the witness as to any points touching Ingersoll'’s exam- their clients not covered in Mr. ination, TESTIMONY OF GEORGE HATUOOK. While Rerdell was looking over the record of testimony for the purpose of making some cor- rections, Mr. Bliss called to the stand Mr. Haycock, of Pine Bluff, Arka Who testified io having been postmaster at Pine Bluff in Decem- ber, 1877, and then receiving a letter from 8. Dorsey enclosing him a bundle of bonds, w. desired him to make out and certify fo as post- master. “This,” said the letter, “is for an inti- mate Iriend of mine, and I ask you to doit asa favor tome. Under no circumstances allow any man to know I have written you on this subject.” Mr. Ingersoll Cross-Examines Rerdell Mr. Ingersoll then began the cross-examination. The witness repeated that his “retracting” am- avit was made at the solicitation of 8. W. Dorsey, and for no money consideration. He would not and had not sworn to a falsehood for money. He was called before as a witness before an investi- gating committee of Congress, in June, 1880. RERDELL BEFORE THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. Mr. Ingersoll then directed his cross-examina- tion as to statements made by the witness before the congressional investigating committee. At that timo the witness stated that the only books he kept were those containing his own accounts with the contractors, ‘Yhe witness said that at that time the statement was true, as he had not kept Dorsey’s books after August, 1879. After Bosler came into the firm the witness had not kept the books. The books witness had refer to in his examination were a journal and ledger. Witness had purchased the books, he —*, at Ballantyne’s. Witness opened the books. The witness could not say positively whether Dorsey had paid for the books.
