Curcaco, March 19.—The evidence given to- day before the Steele court martial was de- cidedly unfavorable to ex-Private Wild. It was shown that he had perjured himself before the court martial by which he had been tried at Fort Yates, while testimony was given by his former comrades and associates that he was a stranger to veracity and could not be believed under oath. It was shortly after 11 o'clock when the session opened, and although the spectators’ quarters ‘were crowded to suffocation, fully a thousand men and boys besieged the outslde of the hall. Consid- erable time was occupied in reading the ver- batim report of yesterday's proceedings and Wild was then recalled. In reply to the ques- tions of the judge advocate he said that Steele struck him with his clinched fist on the side of the face but did not knock him down. Crose-examined at the instance of Lieut. Dudley he said that the blow only made ared mark. He was asked by Lieut, Crowther, counsel for Steele, how long he had been in the service and replied in an insolent tone: “I won't answer.” In re- ly to other questions he said that he did not now when he refused toaid in placing the canvas on the roof whether the building was private or government property. ‘The case for the defendant was then opened with the examination of John Commas, post trader at Fort Pembina, North Dakota, His evidence being objected to by the judge advo- cate the court retired and decided to admit the testimony, Commas then swore that he had known Wild under the name of Daniel P. Ward asa private in company f, fifteenth infantry, of which the witness at the time in question was first sergeant. WOULDN'T BELIEVE HIM UNDER OATH. The judge advocate vainly objected to the introduction of this testimony, eliciting so much applause that he threatened to clear the court, The witness went on to testify that Ward alias Wild's reputation for truth and veracity was very bad and that he would not believe him under oath. Sergeant Jacob Shaw and Private Wright of the eighth cavalry, ex-comrades of Wild, testi- fied emphatically that his reputation for truth and veracity was very bad and that Lieut. Steele had always acted as a perfect gentleman toward the enlisted men, Counsel Crowther then read an extract from the official record of the proceedinys of the court martial by which Wild was tried and sentenced. —_—___ THE NEWARK LAUNCHED.

OPPOSED TO THE SUGAR CUT. Mr. Candler Reports the Revised Bill | Representative Harmer Thinks it Would to the House. Mr. Candler of Massachusetts presented in the House today the report of the special com- mittee on the world’s fair. He states that the name of the city of Chicago has been inserted in the bill, which differs in some essential features from the original These differences are that the tation of the territories and the District of Columbia has been increased from one to two commission- ers from each,and provision is also made for the appointment of eight commissioners-at-] je commission is designated as “The World's Columbian Commission,” and the commission- ers to be appointed are to be selected equally from the two leading political parties, AX ILLINOIS CORPORATION, The commission, in place of acting as a cor- Poration under the United States law, is authorized to accept for the world’s Colum- bia exposition the site, plans and specifica- tions of the buildings to be erected and tendered by the tion created under the laws of the state of Illinois, known as the “world’s exposition of eighteen hundred and ninety-two.” ‘THE SUBSCRIPTIONS. The revised bill provides that the commis- sion shall not only be satisfied that the actual bona fide subscription to the capital stock of at least five million dollars has been made, of which not less than five hundred thousand dollars has been paid in, but also declares that the further sum of five million dollars, making ten million dollars in all, shall be provided by the corporation in ample time or ns needed for the successful prosecution of the work. The committee has given careful consideration to the statement of the representatives of finance committee of the ead of Chicago as to the subscriptions to the stock of $5,000,000, and believes the subscriptions to be bona fide. DELAY UNDESIRABLE, ‘The report says ‘‘your committee desires to Tecogmze the fact that it is due to the city of Chicago that it should be as- sured by the action of this House that the fair is tobe held in the city of Chi- cago without further delay, asthe business arrangements connected with the provisions of this act can be better adjusted when they are assured of the action of Congress, The committee claim that the government of the United States does not as- sume any risk, but is asked to enact such legislation as to demonstrate that it is in sympathy with and desires to encour- age the patriotic efforts of the citizens of Chicago in this great national and international exposition that will mark this important epoch in the history ofthe world and commemorate the life and service of Christopher Columbus in manner worthy the continent which he discovered, DUTIES OF THE COMMISSION. The revised bill defines the duties of the commission and gives them the necessary power to allot space for the exhibitors, classify exhibits, determine the plan and scope of the exposition, appoint judges and examiners, award premiums and to have general charge of all intercourse with the exhibitors and repre- sentatives of foreign nations, ‘The new bill authorizes the corporation of the world’s exposition of 1892 to make any modification in the lane subject to the approval of a majority of the commissioners; to make rules govern- ing the rates for entrance and admission fees or otherwise affecting the rights, privileges or interests of the exhibitors or the public, THE QUESTION OF DATE Provides for the dedication of the buildings of the world’s Columbia expositionon the 30th day of April, 1892, Upon the question of time for holding the exposition there was a difference of opinion among the mem- bers of the committee, and each member re- served the right to vote for such time for opening and closing the exposition as might be deemed best after further discussion. It also provides that in addition to the ap- proval of the commission the President of the United States shall receive sat- factory evidence that ten million of dollars have been raised or provided for to success- fully carry on this fair, before proclamation is made and invitations extended to foreign nations, THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. ‘The bill limite the cost of the government build- ings to the sum of $400,000 andappropriates one hundred thousand dollars of that amount for the remainder of this fiscal year and for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1891. Two hundred thousand dollars are appro- priated for the purpose of paying the expenses of the government exhibit, maintenance of its buildings and for the expenses of the commis- sion and other contingent expenses. ‘The bill limita the expenditure of the gov- ernment hereafter for all purposes connected with the exposition to the sum of $1,500,000, ——.____ IN THE COMMITTEE ROOMS. Various Matters Which Are Being Pre- pared for the Action of Congress. INTERSTATE COMMERCE MATTERS. At the meeting of the Senate committee on interstate commerce today the Wilson bill, to prohibit railroad companies from transporting liquor into states where a prohibitory law is in force, was discussed and postponed until next meeting. The bill to place the operations of telegraph companies under the control of the interstate commerce commission was referred to a subcommittee consisting of Senators Platt, Hiscock and Gorman, THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC LANDS today ordered afavorable reporton the Com- stock bill for the relief of settlers on Northern Pacific railroad indemnity lands,with a few amendments. As it will be reported the bill provides that persons who settled upon, improved and made final proof on lands in the so-called second indemnity belt of the North- ern Pacific railroad grant under the homestead or pre-emption laws, or their heirs or assigns. may transfer their entries to other vacant government lands and receive final certificates &nd receipts. Those who were prevented from making final proof by decisions of the courts or the withdrawal of the lands may also trai fer their filings in like manner upon making such payments as are required by existing laws and in accordance with the instructions of the Secretary of the Interior. THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS today ordered an adverse report to be made upon the bill to refund to J, F. Bailey and others, iron manufacturers, duties paid on the import of steel blooms. The amount involved is over a million dollars, A favorable report was ordered upon the bill to pay A. H. Emery $200,000 for the use of his testing machine by the United States government. ‘This claim hes passed the Senate four times, ALIENS EMPLOYED ON PUBLIC WORKS.

Alarge and distinguished party, under the care of Charles H. Cramp, left here at 7:50 this morning in a special train over the Pennsylva- nia railroad for Philadelphia to witness the launch of the Newark this afternoon from be Disastrous to a Growing Industry. Representative Harmer of Pennsylvania (rep.) said today that he considered the Mc- Kinley tariff bill an excellent measure, better than that of the Senate last year, except as to the cut on sugar. He said that the sugar industry was growing rapidly in this country now and should not be disturbed. They couid stand a reduction of 25 per cent, perhaps, but a cut as proposed in this Dill would drive them out of business, Propositions are now being considered, he says, to bring manufacturing plants from Cuba and establish them in Florida, and there isa widespread interest growing in the business, A cutof 60 per cent would putan end to all thie, he says, WHAT THEY CONFERRED ABOUT. Republican Senators Did Not Talk About Mr. Canaday Last Night. ‘There was a good deal of excitement among employes of the Senate when a rumor was cir culated yesterday that there would probably be a speedy change in the office of sergeant-at- arms, More than ordinary credence was placed im the rumor because it was generally known that there was to be a caucus or conference of re- publican Senators in the evening atthe resi- dence of Senator Edmunds, and no one seemed to imagine that the conference could meet for any other purpose than to see if it was not possible to “shake up” Col. Canaday. In ue time a large number of republican Sen- ators assembled at the appointed rendezvous, and some hours later they dispersed. but they never said a word about the sergeant-at-arms and his office. WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT. They talked of the order of business and they gave a good deal of attention to the Montana senatorial contest, but never a sound was beard as to the Philadelphian who is, it is said, tosucceed Col, Canaday. Senators who talked of the matter this morning said that it Wasprobably true that some persons in authority would like to see Col, Canaday removed be- cause they could then push their own candi- dates to the front, but it was also true that no rong Dec tsfcted oi baetaaes sufficient leriany oo e anything of a showing again: North Carolinian.” ia MRE. QUAY'S POSITION. An intimate friend of Senator Quay says that there is no truth in the oftrepeated stories to the effect that the junior Pennsylvani Senator is after Canaday's official scalp. The most Mr. Quay ever said in the matter was that if| there was a vacancy he had a man for whom he would do his utmost. Even those Senators who would like a change say that it would never do to make it before the beginning of the next session, TARIFF KICKERS. Making Music for the Members of the Ways and Means Committee. ‘The majority of the ways and means com- mittee have begun already to feel the effect of the premature publication of their tariff bill.

A Memorial to Present to Congress Asking for Legislation. Senator Ingalls this afternoon presented tu the Senate a memorial of Dr. Louis Mackall and others relative to still unsettled claims which came within the jurisdiction of the board of publie works, The petitioners say their claims for such damages, notwithstand- ing their just and equitable character, have never been allowed or considered by any tribunal whatsoever, After reviewing the legislation in the case and the awards made by the board of audit the memorial says: “The validity of these awards has been fully and repeatedly recognized both by the courts and Congress, And your petitioners aver that said board of audit was not abolished because of its allowance of these just and meritorious claims, but for other and wholly different rea- sons, a3 will appear from an examina- tion off the joint resolution abolishing said board of audit, approved March 14, 1876 and the discussion attending the passage thereof. The claims of your petitioners only accrued to them after the time fixed by the acts of Congress aforesaid for the presentation of such claims had expired, and re- sulted from the continuance of the work of improvements and repairs conducted by the officers of the United States, to wit, the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia, after the abolishment of said board of public works. Your petitioners are wholly un- able to comprehend why they should be de- barred from obtaining the relief so justly afforded by Congress to their fellow citizens, whose claims were no greater or more meri- torious than those of your petitioners.” In closing the memorialists remark: “In view of the foregoing facts, evidenced by official records accessible to the present board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, your memorialists express their great surprise ‘and regret at the misleading statement made by such board of Commissioners in a recent communication to the com- mittee on the District of Columbia of the Senate that ‘the courts have ampie power to redress those who claim to have been dam- aged by public improvements and repairs in the District.!. Whereupon they pray that this their petition may be received and duly con- sidered, and that they may be afforded such relief as, the premises considered, may be equitable and fair.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. TO ENFORCE LIQUOR LAWS. The Commissioners today issued an order relative to rejected liquor applications as fol- lo} ‘hat in all cases of the second rejection of applications for the sale of liquors the major of police shall be informed at once from this office and will notify the applicant therefor and require the police force to see that no such person sells liquors in violation of the laws and regulations governing said sales,” chousasiei=8_sdiditany Applications for Divorce.

A Bult for an Immense Sum Entered - Against an Express Company. Dispatches from Fredericksburg, Va., state that a sensation has been caused there by the filing of papers by a man giving his name as Dr. Harrison Wagner against the Adams ex- Press company for $1,564,875.82. The man ap- peared at Frederickeburg February 25 and stated to Mr. Bryan that he desired to institute | suit against the Adams express company for the amount named above, Clerk Bryan informed the intending litigant | that the writ tax alone would be nearly 1,500. This seemed to take him aback, but upon jearning from Mr. Bryan that if he indorsed on his papers that he expected to receive a less amount the tax would be reduced proportion- ately he wrote on the pay that he expected to recover only $1,000, Then upon paying all costs he filed his declaration claiming $1,564,- 875.82 with interest at 6 per cent on a note pur- porting to have been made by William B, Dins- more as president of the Adams express com- pany, an 1,1 sent to him in settlement of a im he against the company. This note was alleged to have been given in settlement of a suit instituted by the Plaintiff against the company in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, in 1885. Dr. Wagner got the clerk to issue process upon Mr. Garrett, ent of the company at Brooks Station, and then had it mailed to Wm. B. Dinsmore, president of the company at New r York. Mr. jinsmore died two years ago. % er roduced an enveloye alresty addremel ts ir.

Clerk Bryan said that Wagner told him that if he got his judgment he would give him 10,000. He left money with Mr. Bryan to pay a lawyer to take charge of the case, Officials of the Adams express company who were in Fredericksburg yesterday said the sig- nature of Wm. B. Dinsmore in the alleged note was a forgery, and that the claim was bogus. | Steps were ‘taken, it is said, to secure the ap- prehension of Wagner? who was said to be in | this city. At the Adams express office in this city a Star reporter was informed that nothing was known here either of Wagner or his claim. ‘The police here knew nothing today of the re- port that Wagner was to be arrested here, AN INQUIRY AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS, Mr. Geo. W. Moss, agent of Adams express compeny in this city, visited police head- quarters this afternoon and had an interview concerning Dr. Harrison Wagner. Inepector Swindell said that Mr. Moss wanted tu know if the officers knew anything concern- ing the doctor. ‘Mr, Moss told a Sran reporter that he did not request the doctor's arrest, nor did he intend to swear out & warrant for his arrest, ——— THE WHARF PRIVILEGES.
