THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILI. Mr. Dawes submitted the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Call inquired what had become, in the conference, of the pro- vision for the relief of the Seminoles in Florida. Mr. Dawes satd the Semate conferees had been compelled to give it up in order to secure an agreement on the bill. _. Mr. Call protested, on be- half of the people of Florida and of the Seminole Indians in that state, against the refusal of oueres year aftery ar, todo them simple jus- cre ‘The conference report was agreed to. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. On motion of Mr. Hate, the Senate resumed the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. The Pending question was on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Rollins, providing for a board to Scrutinize the active Ist of the navy and select a certain number of officers of each grade to be re- tained on the active list, the remainder to be con- sidered supernumeraries. The point of order raised yesterday that the amendment was inadmissable as proposing general legislation was sustained. On motion of Mr. Hale the Paragraph providing that the Secretary of the Navy shall invite pro- posats for the construction of three steel cruisers and a dispatch boat was amenJed so as to exclude the armaiment of the vessels from the proposals. ‘The appropriation for the bureau of yards and docks Was increased $64,000 on motion of Mr. Miller, of California. SECRETARY CHANDLER ATTACKED AND DEFENDED. Mr. Anthony, from the committee on naval affairs, offered an amendment appropriating $200,000 to enable the Secretary of the Navy to build an experimental gunboat. Mr, McPherson, discussing the amendment, al- luded to the presence of the Secretary of the Navy in the Senate chamber the other day in conver- sation with Mr. Anthony, and went on to make an attack upon the Secretary as one who was “at home in the lobby.” He hed great respect for the President who had so far given the country an administration as worthy of approval as any preceding one, but he feared that when this appropriation bill should have become a law (as it certainly would, because the Secretary of the Navy had so ordained) even the President would become convinced that mis- takes were possible. The President, heading the list of his advisers with character and ability the purest and best, but, even before reaching the end of the lst, had descendea by one gigantic stride to the lobby with all that that !mpll Mr. Anthony sald he had offered this amend- ment by the inetruction of the committee on naval affairs, and not at the request of the Secretary of the Navy. | The Secretary had a right to be on the floor of the Senate, under the rules, and his pres- ence called for no such comment as that made by Mr. McPherson. Mr. Rollins said he had hearé Mr. McPherson’s remarks with great surprise. That Senator’s criticism upon the Secretary was unjust and un- generous in the extreme, and he (Mr. Rollins) hoped 1t would not be repeated. Mr. Hale raised the point of order that the amendment proposed new legislation, and the chair sustained the point of order and ruled out the amendment. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED. ‘The third section of the will authorizing the Sec- retary of the Navy to appraise and, if he thinks proper, sell vessels which Bave been struck from the navy register, was ruled out on a point of order as containing new legislation, and tue bill ‘Was then passed. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was then taken up. House of Representatives. Mr. Cox, of New York, présonted the petition of Tiffany & Co. and others against an increase of duty on watches and watch cases. Referred. ‘THE POUND RULB ADOPTED. Mr. Robeson, of New Jersey, called up as a priv- fleged question the constderation of the “Pound” Tule, reported yesterday trom the committee on rules. ‘The rule was adopted. [It sets apart one hour ineach day for the consideration of any measure called up by a committee to which there shall not be five objections} CONFERENCE COMMITTEES ON APPROPRIATION BILIS. On motion of Mr. Butterworth, the Senate amendments to the army approplation bill were non-concurred in, and Mr. Butterworth, Mr. Bur- Tows, of Michigan, and Mit Ellis were appointed as conferees on the part of the Houce, On motion of Mr. Forndy, the Senate amend- ments to the fortification apRropriation bill were non-concurred 1n, and Messrs. Forney, Ketcham and Ryan appointed as conferees. TREATMENT OF JEWS IN RUSSIA. Mr. Willams, of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, reported back the resolution calling on the President for all cor- espondence which has taken place between tho United States and Russia in regard to tue treat ment of Jews in Russia, Adopted, ‘THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House then, at 11:40,went into committee of the whole (Mir. Kasson, of Iowa, in the chair) on the sundry civil appropriation bill. ‘The clause relative to the ¥: llowstone National Park having been reuched. Mr. MeCook, of New York, moved to strixe out the proviso authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to lease portions of the park under certain restrictions and_to insert in leu thereof a proviso prohibiting the Secretary of the Interior from leasing any portion of the Yellowstone National Park to any person, com- pany or corporation for any purpose whatever; declaring of no force or effect any lease, agree: ment, ¢xelusive privilege or monopoly Already cr anted or entered into, author’zing the Secretary ot War to make the necessary detatls of troops to prevent trespassers or intruders entering upon the Park with the object of destroying game therein, or any other purpose prohibited by law. The amendment was adopted. * BOUQUEEB. Mr. Cox (N. C.) moved to strike out the clause appropriating $10,000 for the’ support of the Botan- ical Garden in Washington, and in advocacy of his motion ridiculed the “bouquet” garden, and sug- gested that tt would not contribute to the peace of @ member's family if {t were known where many of those bouquets went. Capitol Notes. While the sundry civil bill was under considera- tion by the House in committee of ‘the whole yes- terday an amendment repealing the pre-emption laws Was adopted. ied = NO EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE. ‘It is not thought at the Capitol that the Prest “ dent will convene Congressin extra session, even if the tariff bill should fail, and which now looks probable. CAUCUS OF REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVES, A caucus of the repubjean members of the ‘House was held yesterday afternoon. A resolution was adopted favoring nop-concurrence in the Senate amendments to the: ie bill, which has ‘been made the basis of the Senate tariff bill. No decision was reached, however, with regard to such a change of the rulesjas to admit of taking the bill from the Speaker's and sending it to & conterence committee, matter will be fur- ther canvassed. THE “POUND RULE.” ‘Mr. Robeson, in the Hi yesterday, reported back the “Pound rule,” loging to the passage of bills reported from com: to which there are pees eae objectors, and it jaid over under the FROSPECTS OF THE PASSAGHIOF THE SENATE TARIFF ‘BILL ‘There has as yet been pate decided upon as to the disposition of the Segate tariff bill by the House of Representatives, republican caucus to co; ‘was far irom harmonious, crat sald to-day: “We gunerally favor a eqn neral a er TTaaae f ine th ap ong Sas eee recet ‘Onio, insy vant West Virginia and New. versey’ delegates, might not receive enough yotes tocarry It. ‘This ov ary, the republicans a be reap msible t = lor the defeat of the Dil 2 It ts known that the the bill yesterday a leading demo- to hold a caucus RERDELL’S REVELATIONS, HIS CROSS-EXAMINATION CONTINUED, MORE ABOUT THE REVISED AFFIDAVIT. WITNESS TELLS OF DORSEY’S THREATS. ETC. When the Criminal Court met this morning the ‘star route trial, which was adjourned Wednesday afternoon until to-day, was resumed. Rerdell again took the stand for cross-examination by ‘Mr. Ingersoll. The witness desired to make some corrections Inthe report of the testimony. He called atten- Ulon to the report in the record representing him as saying that Dorsey, after visiting Miidleton’s bank and Brady’s office, told him to foot up the amounts froin the “stub of the check-book.” The nee ‘sald he desired to say “stubs of the check- ‘Ss? ‘Messrs. Wilson and Davidge argued against per- fitting the co rection and ‘allowing the witness to “cook up” his testimony. ‘The witness said he telieved tt was an error In the report, as n the following question he had re- ferred to “check books.” ‘The court allowed the correction, without preju- dice to either side, if it should transpire hereafter that the matter Was material. RERDELL'S INTERVIEW WITH DORSEY AT WILLARD'S. The witness, when he had finished his correc tons, sald that he thought that when he had the interview witn S, W. Dorscy at Willard’s, on the 12th of July last, he thought he left the court house in a carriage with Dorsey, and went to Wil- lard’s hotel with him. ‘They’ then went into the saloon at Willard’s; he thought they took a drink, and then went to a room, where they were alone. Dorsey locked the room door op the inside. ‘The witness was then cross-questioned as to the conversation between himself and Dorsey,tn which Dorsey compelled him te make a new aMlavit DORSEY THREATENS RERDELL. Dorsey sald, after speaking of the witness’ In- tention to go over to the side of the government: “You are counting without your host. I have got you within my grasp, and I propose to hold you there. I can send you to the penitentiary for per- Jury. Thave got those letters, and I propose to publish them. The witness said the talking was nearly all on Dorsey’s side. Witness was under much exctie- ment, and could not remember all that was said. He could not remeaber anything that he (witness) said. He remembered that he thought he was COMPLETELY IN DORSEY’S POWER. He thought the conversation lasted fifteen min- utes, Witness felt that he was In Dorscy’s power, even after Dorsey had let him out of the room. He did not know that he would not be prosecuted for perjury for making the first affidavit exon- erating Dorsey, for which Dorsey threatened pros- ecution. He did not speak of the conversation to anyone. He was afraid of the afidavit, but more afraid of the letters. After copying the new affida- vit, the next day witness met Dorsey, he thought, at the court-house, and went with him again to the Toom at Willard’s. After Dorsey read the paner over witness went off to Notary Callan’s office and swore to the paper. Upon returning to the room at the hotel Mr. Bosler was there with Dorsey. Witness did not tell Bosler anything about what had occurred. Witness did not understand that the affidavit was gotten up for Bosler’s benefit. Witness handed Dorsey both the original pencil manuscript and the copy of the affidavit, DORSEY BURNS THE MA Witness did not remember what Dorsey did with the pencil manuscript at first. Dorsey soon after- wards applled a match tot and burned jtup. Wit- hess Inserted"the word “statement” in the affida- vit in a place where he had omitted it, and Dorsey took up a pen and wrote in the Words, “and others.” The witness said he did not remember that Dor- Sey gave him any reasons why he should make the affidavit of July, 1852, or what point Dorsey wanted covered in that that was not covered in the affidavit of June, 1881. He did not remember having sald to Dorsey that if he made the new affidavit, Dorsey would then have two affidavits instead of one to prosecute him for, vitness, after examining the July aMdavit, again sald that, the closing’ words to ex-Senator Dorsey, J, W. Bosler and the other persons alluded to” were written In at Willard’s hotel after he had shown his copy to Dorsey and before he took it to the notary’s to swear to it. There were some other littie corrections made after the amdavit Was acknowledged, for the purpose of perfecting the sense. Prior to making the affidavit of June, 1881, witness had had A CONVERSATION WITH MR. P. H. WOODWARD. ‘Mr. Ingersoll asked the witness if he had notin June, 1861, in a conversation at the Arlington hotel, told Mr. Woodward that the persons com- posing the firm interested tn the bids of 1878 were |. W. Dorsey, Peck, Miner and A. E. Boone. ‘Mr. Merrick objected to this question, as the evidence in chief had not referred to any conver- ‘sation with Mr. Woodward. Mr. Ingersoll sald at this conversation the Post- master General wa8 present. He claimed also that dn cross-examination he could interrogate the witness as to any conversation. ‘The court having allowed the question, the wit- ness stated that he had told Mr. Woodward who the contractors were, but he did not rememter having said who composed the firm. He remem- bered telling him that BOONE WAS FROZEN OUT, and that after S. W. Dorsey left the Senate there was a division of the routes. He did not remem- ber having said that Dorsey had loaned money to the firm. He did not remember what he had told Woodward in regard to Dorsey’s having given W. H, Turner $1,500, or 2,000 shares of mining stock to W. H. @urner, to control his official action. He thought he showed him a memorandum. Mr. Ingersoll having asked, if he did say so, Whether the statement was true, Mr. Merrick ob: Jected, unless he could go into the subject. ‘The court sustained the objection. Witness did nut remember saying that Dorsey gave James M. Tyner 2,000 shares of the same mining stock as he gave Turner. He remembered having a memorandum. The memorandum was in the handwriting of 8. W. Dorsey. The last time witness saw the memorandum ft was in his (witness!) office. He thought he saw it there be- fore he went to jail, and had not seen it since. “Where did you get that memorandum?” asked Mr. Ingersoll. “Stephen W. Dorsey,” said the witness, “gave it to me at his house on Fifth avenue, New. York.” “At what time?” asked Mr. Ingersoll. “The latter part of March, 1880,” said the wit- ness. After Mr. Ingersoll had aske one or two ques- tons with reference to what had occurred at Dor- sey’s house in New York when Dorsey gave Rerdell the memorandum, Mr. Merrick objected to going any further into this matter.

Of course, Congressman Belford did not know at the time the check was given, be- cause it was not given to him, but given to the Person from whom the gun was purchased.” Mr. Ingersoll, said that he. was es— pectally reluctant at this to into con- troversy the names of persons not defendants, on account of the present state of mind of the pub- lic, which he for a tor’ Dill has to do putation of any man is to say thaton the stub was written the word ‘mall.’” ‘MR.

After further argument Judge Wylle held that the cross-examtnation must be confined to the ex- amination in chief. The witness in his examina- Uon in chief had ssid nothing about this memo- Tandum. If the defense went into these matters they were bound to take his answers as true. They could not lay the foundation of contradiction in that way. Mr. Ingersoll claimed that there was foundation for the questions in the examination in chief, and pending an examination of the record a recess was taken. ——— SOUIETY NOTES.
