Debate on The World’s Fair Bill Begun in The House Today. MURDER OF MARSHAL SAUNDERS. ee Mr. Pasco Finishes His Speech in the Senate. + THE SENATE, Among the bills reported from committees and piaced on the calendar were the following: ‘The Senate bill to provide for the allotment of lands in severalty to the Quapaw Indians in the Indian Territory. The House bill to extend the act granting right of way to the Kansas City and Pacitic railroad companyjthrough the Indian Territory. PROPOSED BRIDGE TO ARLINGTON CEMETERY. Mr, Butler offereda resolution (which was agreed to) directing the Secretary of War to examine andreport upon the most suitable kind of a bridge, with approaches{from a point near the foot of New York avenue, across the Potomac river to a point on the cemetery grounds at Arlington. THE FLORIDA ASSASSINATION. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Chandler, calling on the Attorney General for information as to the assassination at Quincy, Fla, of W. B. Saunders, U.S. deputy marshal, was taken up and Mr. Pascoe resumed his re- marks in regard to it. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read various documents, newspa- articles and proceedings of public meet- Leek denuuciatory of the conduct and charac- ter of the U.S, court and its officers in the northern district of Florida. These representations, he said, might tend to throw some light on the causes leading up to the sad affair at Quincy, He knew nothing of the matter himself, but he did know that Saunders had already ex- hibited his unfitness for the office which be held. If the killing of Saunders was a re- sult of the facts and circumstances declared in the papers read then the Senate ought to have all the causes which led up to it. The responsi- bility of Swayne (the judge), Mizell (the mar- shal) and Walter (the clerk) ought to be ascer- tained, as they had been shown to be connecte with partisan prosecutions, *. THE GREAT TROUBLE IN THE CASE was that the principal law breakers were the officers of the court. These officers would have to be compelled to obey the law—to recognize the statutes of the United States. They would have to learn that the administration of justice had to be based upon the law of the land. Whenever the court in Florida banished mpbogoncry f and admuinis- tered justice fairly there would be no difticulty in having its writs and summonses respecwd by the people of Florida. In conclusion, he offered an amendment directing the Attorney General to inform the Senate also whether any efforts have been made by the Department of Justice to correct the correction officers of the court which hus re- sulted in partisan juries made up maiuly from one political party, and, if so, to report the same to the Senate. Also directing the a oe to in- form the Senate whether he any informa- tion of an official letter written by Marshal Mizell directing the names of “true and tried republicans” to be furnished for jurors of the United States court, and what action the De- partment of Justice had taken in reference to communications of that character, Mr. Hawley said that the remarks of the Senator from Florida and the amendment of- fered by him seemed to him to be a premature apol for murder, It was evident thut the amendment was intended to mitigate, in the judgment of the public mind, a crime which even a democratic paper in Florida had stigma- tized as 4 most brutal, infamous and cowardly murder, ‘The Senator (Mr. Pasco) had repre- sented Saunders as not having been always a good man, und a fair inference from his’ re- marke would be that there would not have been much objection to Saunders being killed if it could only have been done in a less objectionable way. What (Mr. Hawley asked) had the bad character of Saunders and of the administration of justice to do with the mur- der of Saunders? THE HOUSE. By special order today was set apart by the House for the opening of the debate on the re- port of the committee on the world’s fair. The public evidently entertained hopes of an inter- esting discussion, for the galleries were weil filled with spectators, The attendance of mem- bers when the Speaker's gavel called the House to order was rather scanty; but members resent were evidently busily engaged in preparing for the struggle which is to settle the question as to whether a fair is to be held in 1892, and, if so, at what place. Mr. Candler (Mass.), the chair- man of the special committee on the world’s fair, was armed with a large roll of manuscript, mably his speech, but he found little opportunity to glance over it, as he was beset on all sides by members who wished him to ailow them a few minutes to discuss the report, Not many of these applications were granted, how- ever, ag most of the time had already been alloted, The usual preliminary routine business was transacted by the House with a show of im- patience. Mr. Houk (Tenn.), from the elections com- mittee, gave notice that next week. imme- diately after the disposition of the West Vir- ginia election case of Atkinson against Pendle- tou he would call up the Arkansas case of Featherstone against Cate. A message from the President was read rela- tive the Sissetun and Waapeton Indian agree- ment. Mr. Morrill (Kan.) presented the conference report on the Senate bill to increase the pen- sion of helpless soldiers, The agreement makes the proposed increases take effect trom the date of passage of the bill or the issue of surgeon’s certificate. Mr. Morrill explained that the bill involved an expenditure of $400,000 or =450,000 tor this year. The report was adopted. NOW FOR IT. » Mr. McMillin (Tenn.) reserved the point of order that the fair bills involved appropria- tions and should be considered in committee of the whole, Mr. Candler (Mass.) explained how the time was to be divided—one hour to the chairman (himself) and one hour each to the four con- tending cities. Tomorrow opponents of any bill were to have one hour and the remainder of the day was to be divided between the rep- resentatives of the four cities. The Speaker, referring to Mr. McMillin’s | en goers that the special order had the to render unnecessary any motion to into committee of the whole, and when NE McMillin tuck the contrary view he had read a decision made in the -ninth Congress embodying his ‘MB. KILGORE’S POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Kilgore (Tex.),rising to a point of order, said the pending bill was one authorizing the government to go into the fair business. He, penning pr~ ppalecl wenmpemsierys A division had i Rgrrgy voted to shonld iu fairness recognize the opponents of the bills during half of the time. The Speaker replied that no doubt the ex- pectations of the gentleman would be realized 80 far as they were in accordance with the views of the chair. He preferred that an ar- rangement be made. Mr. Candler offered to give the opposition two hours, but Mr. Mills did not think this was a fair division. ‘The Speaker said that the question was two- fold. First, as to whether the fair should be held, and, second, at what point. The chair thought that the debate should be 80 arranged as to give the fullest information to the House upon the points it desired to hear explained. MR. CANDLER OPENS THE DEBATE. No arrangement having been reached Mr. Candler took the floor and opened the debate. He said that the country could afford to be roud of the rivalry between the four cities, (hey were working for local interests; but they were also animated by a spirit of patriotism. The fair itself would be an honor to the United States wherever held; each of the four cities would do its best. The committee had presented two bills—one adapted to New York, Chicago and St, Louis and the other to Washington. BILL NO. Mr. Candler took up the first bill and ex- plained its sections briefly but succinctly. He said that the government was to lend its aid to the people, to dignify and give national recog- nition to this great national event. The only appropriation asked under this bill was a smail one to defray the expenses of a government exhibit and the display of works of art. THE CENTENNIAL AS A PRECEDENT, Mr. Candler referred to a similar appropria- tion made for the centennial, which led Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) to exclaim that the centennial managers had paid back the $1,500,000 ad- vanced by the government, and it would be a lucky day for New York, Chicago, Washington or any other city where the fair was held when it could do as weil. MR. CANDLER CONTINUED his explanation of the bill, saying that it bound the government in no way to a financial obliga- tion. There was no proposition, direct or in- direct, in the bill to secure a dollar from the gov- ernment for any purpose not clearly stated. By experience of the past the benefits of the ex- Position to the people in an educational way could not be questioned. The government should do its part. Year after year appropria- tions were made for the representation of the United States at foreign expositions and the gov- ernment should do as much for its own people. The committee asked for a million and a half for the government to take care of its own; the government could not do less to sustain its dignity. The strongest incentive to action was individual interest; but there was something more in the composition of the average Ameri- can—something that impelled him to do what- ever he thought would redound to the glory of the country, THE WASHINGTON BILL. Turning to the sccond (Washington) bill, he said that it differed from the others in that the fair here would depend, not upon popular sub- scription but upon funds raised by the District government upon 8 per cent bonds. The pro- ceeds received trom tickets sold were to go, not tostockholders but to meet the bonds issued. It was supposed that the chairman of the special committce was the only member notcommitted. He believed that inevery phase of the subject, whether as a recognition of the services of the great dis- coverer or from any other phase, it seemed proper that at the close of the 400 years elaps- ing since the discovery of this great continent we should call the at- tention of the world to our condition. The insisting by the government of the people of the world to visit us and study our resources would surely be beneficial, The representa- tives of labor and of capital, the men who were seeking to benefit their condition and men of ali classes, let them come to the United States and see what we hadto offer. Although the centennial was started in doubts and fears yet 10,000,000 people visited it, and ite cost was returned to the people a hundred fold. The manufacturers of all sections would send their best products, No section had more to gain than the south from an exhibition of its re- sources. The capital that would be brought here would confer benefits that would last for years, Already the United States was trying to realize the prediction of.de Toqueville. He had said that the southern republics were the natural customers of the United States, and already we were reaching out for that trade. He believed in the importance of the exposition as a senti- mental idea, It would BIND MORE CLOSELY the north and the south. If they met witha common patriotic spirit they would find that the result would be a mutual benefit. He knew of no state more anxions to keep alive the old watch fires than his own little state (Massa- chusetts). It was well for her peo- ple to recall their condition a hundred years ago andcompare it with their present condition. In conclusion, be hoped that this Congress would be true to the history of the country and set an example of patriotiom and enterprise for the Congresses of 100 years to contemplate and follow. MR. FLOWER SPEAKS FOR NEW YORK. Mr. Flower (N.Y.) followed in behalf of New York. He was somewhat nervous as he began his speech, but soon gained confidence and spoke with decision. Mr. Flower was followed b: and Mr. Covert (N.Y)in New York's claims. Messrs, Cummings, Tracey and Quinn next kee in favor of the selection of New York as the site, Mr. Moore(N.Y.) 'urther support of CHICAGO HAS THE FLOOR. Mr. Hitt opened the debate for Chicago, soanene engin THEIR BIDS WERE REJECTED And They Will Have to Stand It, but They Would Know Some Things. Representatives of the firm of Moore & Sons, the Elizabethport, N. J., ship builders, whose bid on the gun boats and practice vessel was rejected by the Navy department the other day, called on Secretary Tracy this morning to inquire as to the whereabouts of their $30,000 check, which was returned to them. It did not reach them with the letter of rejection, and they began to wonder why. The reason was found to be that the check had been sent by registered mail. and it is probably awaiting them at their office now. The Moore's are quite content to have their bid rejected, but want to ask the Secretary some rather interesting questions. They claim that they could have constructed the ships, and they thought that they had convinced the chief constructor of that fact, especially as they had given orders for some necessary tools. “They want to know why it is that the Palmers of New York were given contracts for the Concord and the Bennington when they had not the sign of a plant, but seut the work down to the Roach yard. They would also like to know Fett why the Cramps were allowed to build e machine! of the cruisers that they built, when they have no foundry. erg they merely threw out as if to show that they were not entirely satisfied with the action of the department, but they are sub- mit with a grace, and say that they are fo to fit up their yard to an active ship- bi ing capacity and intend to bid on some of the future work.

Aunaxy, Feb, 20.—Gov. Hill has signed the world’s fair bill, oS De THEY WERE BRUTES. Jacob Schoop and Thomas Cole Hung for Their Crimes. Purtapetruta, Feb. 20.—Jacob Schoop and Thomas Cole were hanged at 10:04a.m. Schoop spent the night uncomplainingly. He slept calmly and peacefully for six hours and when awakened he listened earnestly to the words of comfort that came from the devout lips of Mr. Schroeder, his spiritual adviser. He read a religious book at intervals and ate frequently and with evident relish. He was very calm, but his apathy seemed to take the form of a trance or as if he were under the influence of opium, Cole spent most of his time in prayer. At 8 o'clock this morning he took the sacrament and afterward meditated with the priest who has so assiduously attended him through the dresd or- deal. His brothers, Frank and James,came to the prison early in the morning and bade him fare- well. This trying moment was the turning point as to whether his weak conaition would cause him to make a scene, He broke down and cried bitterly for a few minutes aud chen quickly recovered his firmness, continuing calm and apparently coo! until he died. SCHOOP'S CRIME, The crime for which Schoop was executed was the murder of Anton Schilling. The re- mains of Schilling, who was formerly Schoop's partner in a little grocery store, were found by four boys in Fairmount k, in the water pipes, on December 26, 1 After investiga- tion Schoop was arrested. He denied ull knowledge of the crime, but finally broke down and made a confession. Schilling boarded with Schoop, and several attempts were made by Schoop to poison him and then get possession of the little money he was supposed to have. On Christmas morning Schoop arose carlier than usual and proceeded to the kitchen,where the previous evening he had left some food from the evening's meal, but it was gone. At this time Schilling came in, Schoop charged him with taking it, Some words ensued, when Schoop knock-d Schilling down aud’ then, grabbing a knife, stabbed him until he was dead, He then cut the body up aud placed it in sacks, which he afterward carried to the park and placed in the water pipes, Schoo was tried on February 20, 1889, conyicted au sentenced to hang. COLE'S CRIME. The murder for which Cole suffered the death penalty was most brutal. July 5, 1888, Walter McAllister, a brakeman on the Peun- sylvania railroad, was found murdered in bed athis boarding house. He had returned from his work and justgone to bed when his bed- fellow, Thomas Cole, entered the room and without any warning whatever severed his head from his body with an ax. Cole then left the house and escaped. A short time after- ward McAllister's sister came to see him on some business, when a littie girl in the house told her that Uncle Walter was upstairs and very sick. The sister on reaching the room found the mangled co: and immediately sounded an alarm which resulted in the capture of Cole in an old barn. His clothing was clot- ted with his victim's life blood and the mystery was quickly solved. The only defense the pris oner made was that he had quarreled with Mc- Allister about the breaking of a hat and over a young lady from West Philadelphia, but the young lady could never be found. Cole was of an envious, vindictive disposition and, in fact, committed his awful crime on no pretext what- ever. During the trial he apparently saw that his was a hopeless case and resumed his old fe- rocious expression. Both of the condemned men have manifested entire resignation to their fate since their doom was settled and they buve assumed an, air of religious devotion for several weeks past.

Persons living in the vicinity of the Wigaman house heard four shots fired in rapid succession and soon after Hop- kins emerged from the house and ran across the street to a livery stable. He held a revolver in bis hand, and on reach- ing the stable fired two shots at his own head. The first shot missed entirely and the second only lodged against the skull bone. Hopkins was taken in custody and con- fessed that he had killed his wife (Maggie) and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wigaman, and gave us his reason for doing so thathe ioved his wife to distraction and could not live without her, and as people were trying to part them he thought he would settle the difficulty by killing them and then himself, Hopkins was brought to Bellefonte and tried for murder. The case caused great excitement, as it was the firstcase of murder in the first | degree to be tried in Center county in seventy years. He was found guilty and sentenced to ang. The killing of the two women was done in the following manner: He entered the cel- lar of his own house at 11 o'clock on Saturday night and lay there con- cealed with a revolver in hand until 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, when he stole stealthily up the stairs and quietly sneaked up behind his wife, who was dishes ata ning down stairs, when he shot her, a Ao assing Uy ou eigenthn dpe up stairs and locked herself ina room.
