The alliance men in Congress have under consideration an ambitious provrar, designed to advance the interests of the alliance and to propagate its doctrine. It propesed to establish an alliance con- gressional campaign committee on much the same basis as the republican and democratic committees to look after their interests in the congressional districts.

Steps Taken to Secure an Exhibition for the Worid’s Fair. | ‘Mrs. Potter Palmer, the president of the | board of iady managers @f the world’s fair, in company with Mr. Potter Potter and Mra. Russell Harrison, called today upon Mr. | Simonds, the commissioner of patents. The ‘object of the visit was to ascertain what could be done in the way of exhibiting the | inventive genius of women as shown by the | Patents on file. The commissioner suggested ‘but the best plan would be td select from the | 3.000 patents insned to women the ones that in the opinion of the fair commitke semed to be the most notab‘e and worthy of exhibition. In cases where the patent office had models of these inventions such models would be placed at the disposal of the committee. Where the models were wanting they could be sup- Plied from the drawings at a small expense on the part of the committee. Mrs. Palmer did not indicate what plan she would adopt, and the commissioner. after her departure, caused to be collected the drawiuys ofall the patents and had them sent to Mr Palmor at her hotel in this city, where she can @xamtne them at her leisure. ‘The commissioner exprewed his willingness | to doasoything in his power to make the e: hibit a creditable one, both to the departinent | and to the inventors. He explained. however, thet owing to the fact mat the ice would make au exhibit at the fair it would be impossible to expend guy part of the fund devoted tosuch « pur-| in wid of the special exhibit proposed by Mire Palmer. ae — THEY WAN; TO TALK & Formidable Array of Speakers Who Wi Participate im the Tariff Debate. ‘Thus far the little bians book fn which the Rames of members who signify to the Speaker their intention to speak on any set topic are | Mr. Daniel Dougherty Protests Against One inseribed shows « list of thirty-six members ©f the House who have remarks to make on the tariff question.

Various Matters. An interesting variety of local matters re- ceived consideration this morning at the hands of the Senate District committee. The Sena- tors who had something to say were Chairman MeMilian and Senators Hansbrough, Perkins, | Harris, Vance, Faulkner, Barbour and Gibson | of Maryiand. | Senator Vanee at once brought up the bill to prevent erueity to children in the District “and for other purposes.” It was considered and a hearing waa given President A. 8. Pratt and Secretary Parker Mann of the Humane So- ciety. The question of docking horses’ tailawas debated at length and the committee finall, concluded—as a result of Senator Wolcott’ Tevearch—that tail docking was not a cruel op- eration if the now electrical method was em- | ployed. The eraclty, though. came in when ¢ docked animals were too old for high-grade and were consequently sold to people who worked them considerably and turned them out to graze for subsistence. The horses could not protect themeclves against flles. It wae agreed that, for thia latter reason, the anti-docking ciause was a good one to keop in the bill, so it stays. Section 2, which reads as follows, has been cut out: That ary parent or guardian in the District of ‘oinmbia who unreasonably neglects to provide for his or her minor child shallupon conviction of such aureasonable neglect be punished by e not exceeding £20 or by imprisonment not exceeding six months. When this excision had been made Senator fanco wae authorized to report the bill favor- ably. le. THE RCKINGTON ROAD. Favorable report was also ordered on the proposition to extend the Eckington road out C street from New Jersey avenue to 15th street northeast, returning along D street to 4th and from thence along C street to the place of beginning. ‘his extension was suggested by the committee, and *o was the proviso which says that the company shall not be compelied to build the exteusion until C and D streets between 12th and 15th cast have been properly im- proved. People who want the railway will probably press the District Commissioners and thus hurry up the improvements. No coniidence is violated when the statement is made that the action of the committee on this Eckinzton extension means the decrease of Lali a dozen other projected roads. THE CARE OF DEPENDENT CHILDREN. The bili to provide for the care of dependent children im the District and to create a board of children’s guardians was debated. The feature of the measure—a temporary home— was provided for in such a way that it seemed to commit the District toan indefinite expense. Senator Perkins will investigate and report. AN ADVERSE REPORT. Unanimously adverse report was ordered on the bill to pay Join Hope Hoduett nearly one hundred aud thirty thousand dollars, and the tuck of reporting was placed in the ads of Senator Harris. Mr. Hodnett claims to have been counsel for the working- men. of the contractors of the late board of public works. He wants $75,000 for his own services, aud would like to disburse to certain ese Workingmen the sum of $53,667.29, which, he says, is an unexpended balance now lying in the treasury. Mr. Hodnett was in the committee room for some time before the committee jade its ap- pearance. He did vant to go out when the session commenced, but as soon as he was out he desired to get in'aguin. He was quite em- phatte in his expressions and probabiy would have disturbed the deliberations of the com- | mittee bad there not been official interference THE SCHXEIDEE MURDER TRIAL. ition Discussed, but Ne| The Senate District Committee Considers | 4 Sensational Bit of Testimony Given in Court This Morning.

Just then the lady in the light coat cried out, “I'm shot—I'm shot.” ‘The man that camo over said, ‘I'm shot, THE FIRST REAL SENSATION. ‘This statement of the witness was undonbt- edly not expected by either the defense or by the government, and it created thre @rst real sonsa- tion of the trial. That it was regarded as a most valuable point for the defense could well be eeen. The next witness, Julia Slater, a small, light | colored woman, merely corroborated the testi- mony of the two preceding witnesses. She was sure there were at least four shots, but would not swear that there were not more. ‘The feature of the proceedings in the court | this morning was the large number of ladies in endance, they numbering nearly half of the audience. | There were peo} ALECK DABWER. The first witness called today was Aleok Dab- ner, a young colored man. He saw the four persons, two ladies and two gentlemen, and saw the firing. There were not more than five or six shots. Saw the flashes and saw the ex- tended arm of the man with the light overcoot who fired. ‘The flashes wero all from one di- rection, toward the north side of the street. After the firing ceased the man who did the shooting first started toward 18th street and then terned and went over to the sonth side of Q street. and finally ran off past the with his plans. FUNDS FOR THE EXTENSION OF STREETS. Senator Harris then brought up for disens- sion a proposition, which has been fully de- scribed in Tux Svar. ‘the subcommittee on the extension of streets and avenues is of opin- jon that the proposition to pay for the extension by the immmance and — sale ef bonds ‘would mot be popular in either branch of the national legislature just now. ‘ihe subcommittee advocated direct ap- propriation and Senato: Harris was instructed tooffer the necessary amendments in te Seu- ate. AGAINST HOUSES IN ALLEYS Senator Faulkner's bill to prevent the build- ing of houses in alleys which areless than forty feet wide wns discussed at some length and members of the committee generally seemed to favor the measure. The Dill, however, has gone over because Senator Kenna desires to be heard before the committee makes any report. STEAM ENGINEERING. Favorable report will be made by Senator | Perkins on Senator Peffer’s bill to regulate steam engineering in the District. The bill has been amended +o as to conform to sugg: tions made by the District Commissioners ix now believed to be in a satisfactory coudi- ‘MARRIED WOMEN'S EIGHTS.

WHIDGE ACROSS THE EASTERN BRANCH. Senator Gibson of Maryland was authorized to report favorabiy his resolution requiring the Secretary of War to make a survey, plan and estimate of the cost of constructing a bridge across the Eastern branch. This reso- lution now goes to the appropriations commit- tee. COMMISSIONERS TO GRANT PARDONS. Senator Perkins this afternoon endeavored to have the Senate pass House bill giving to the District Commissioners power to grant respites and pardons in certain cases. The Senator re- ported the bill back favorably from the District committee and asked its immediate considera tion. An objection from Senator Butler sent it to the calender. SEWERAGE IN THE DISTRICT. The Senate this afternoon directed the print- ing of 700 additional copies of the report on sewerage in the District. ME. HODNET?’s CLAIM. John Pope Hodnett is still after those 000 which he alleges were earned by him while serving as counsel in the investigation nto the affairs of the District. Senator Palmer bas (by request) introduced the bill. AGAINST A LARGE HALL. * for the Democratic Convention. Mr. Daniel Dougherty of New York, the eio- quent friend of Mr. Cleveland, has written a jemocratic national commitiee, protesting against the construction of « large hall im Chicago for the accommodation of the democratic national convention. He argues that « large hall merely furnishes accommodatious for the friends of candidate: who are interested in intluencing the action of the convention; that the audience | aesembled may entirely misrepresent the senti- ment of the country, but by demonstrations of enthusiasm may deceive and influence the | judgment of the delegates. He thinks ‘that the convention should be considered | ap a committee and that no extraordinary ac- Sommodations should be provided for the public. His purpose evidently is to guard against a large delegation of Tammanyites taking posses- | sion of the bail to influence tne convention. Notwithstanding his letter, however, it is en- | rely probable that the hall will be constructed. | To Commaxp tuz Powper Dxpor. — Col. DABNEY ILLUSTRATES SCHNEIDER'S ACTION. witness down an alley. When he passed wit- ness he pulled his overcoat up over his face. Remember No. 1710 Q street and believes a Mr. Lipscomb lives there. Just as the man passed that house, going down the alley by it, a gen- tleman in’ the house raied a window, looked out and said something. [Witness was not al- lowed to say what was said] When the man passed witness he had nothing in his hands. [This contradicts Roee Rosary, who testified that he had a pistol in his haud.] UNDFR MR. WILSON’S QUESTIONS. Cross-examined: Sure that the man who did the shooting had on a light overcoat: that man was stending near the curbstone; did not count the flashes or shots; could not tell with lowed him until he fell in the street_on his face. Heard a lady say, “Ob, Lord, I'm shot. The district attorney—What else did she say? Judge Wilson—We object. It is not part of the res gests. ‘The court—Objection overruled, Judge Wilson—Piease note an exception. ‘WHAT MHS. SCHNEIDER SAID. The witness—The lady said: “My God! Howard Schueider has shot me and my brother.” ‘This answor of the witness was made during breathicss silence throughout the court room, and was awaited with the greatest interest, ‘The defense immediately objected to the an- swer,and when the objection was promptly overruled noted another exception. Mr. Keed made « most excellent witness, speaking slowly and carefully weighing his words, On cross-exannustion he stated that there was an interval between the first and the follow- ing shois, a very short interval—some more of the firing. The whole tiring done while the witness was running up the basement steps to the street. Wasn't more than a minute after the firing before the Indy cried: ‘Im shot. Howard Schneider has shot my brother and me.” new that she said it then, and cannot say that the remarks were not mentioned before witness went to the district attorney's office. Did not mention them before the coroner's jury. When Mr.Hamiink started to run after Mr. Schneider he started from the sidewalk, but liad gone but w few stops before he fell. ‘The Indy who was not shot went over to the man who fell, looked at him for a mo- ment and then went buck to the other Indy. ‘The indy who was shot was assisted into the house by two ladies. Could not tell the color of the overcoat worn by the man who ran off. SECONDS, NOT MINUTES. Redirect. “Take your watch,” said the dis- trict atiorney, “‘and watch the second hand as it runs nround once.” Judge Wilson. That's a chestnut. District Attorney Cole. One we stole from you, judge? ‘The witness, having watched a minute's run of the second’ hand of his watch, replied that when he said a few minutes ne meant afew seconds. At the conclnsion of the testimony of “this witness. at 12:30, the court ordered @ recess CHAS. Mf. SANFORD. The first witnes: called after recess was Chas. M. Sanford, a young white man from George- town. Atthe time of the shooting he was at A DIAGRAL the corner of Madison and 18th streets. Had just started to leave there when he heard five shots fired in rapid succession. Ron at once up 18th to Q street. On Q street saw two gentlemen carrying the body of = man. MOF THE SHOOTING. They were in the street, about the middle of square between 17th and 18th streets. Just then heard a lady scream and then heard her say “Hoftard Schneider did it.” Don't know who the gentlemen were who had hold of the body. They requested some one to assist. Caught botdand helped them carry ‘he body into the parlor. There was a lady of about fifty years there when the body was car- Tied in. Saw no revolver near the body. Heard no one speak of a revolver. Saw no one with a revolver there. Cross-examined—Counted the shots men- tally. If shots had been fired sinultaneously could not, of conrae. have distinguished them. ‘That five shots were fired was only an impres- sion. Don't pretend to. say that the Indy who was shot was the one who said “Howard Schneider has shot me.” Only know that somebody made ch a remark just after the body wax carried in. Some one asked. “Who did it?” and some one answered: “Howard Schneider.” Didn't notice any interval between the first and the second shot. THE REMARK TO BE DISREGARDED. At the conclusion of the testimony of the witness the court directed the jury to disregard all the witness had suid in reference to the re- ark he heard as to who had done the shoot- g. because of its indetinitencss and Lecause it was not closely enough connected with the shooting. JULIA DONOVAN. Julia Donovan, a young white woman, testi- fied that she opened the door of No. 1735 when Walter Reed rang the bell. Just as the door was opened heard the firing, and with whom he first talked of the case; told a reporter 5 CROSS-EXAMINES. of the Postand the reporter wrote it down: Was sworn in the district attorney's office and made a statement. Judge Wilson—Did anybody there instruct you not to give any one information ubout this ease? ‘The witness—Yes, sir. Judge Wilson—Who was it? ‘The Witnoss—The district attorney. Judge Wilson—Did you not reiuse to give me any information? The witness—Yes, sir; could not say when it was that the reporter cuiled. Here Judge Wilsun read an account of an in- terview had by a Post reporter with the wit- ness, which the witness declared was not true. A CONTRADICTION. Continuing the witness said the man who fell fell just as the last shot was fired. Just then the other man started off. They wore then in the street. The shooting occurred in the strect, five or six feet from the sidewalk. [This con- tradicts the preceding witnesses, who testified that the shooting took place on the sidewalk.1 Redirect: Was not iooking at the pariics during all of the shooting. Gxoxon W. FINDLEY. George W. Findiey,a young white man, next called, testified that he lived at 1814 20th street: that at the time of the shooting was in front of either 1719 or 1721 Q street. Saw th shooting. ‘The man who did it shot toward 17th street; the flasies all came from one direc- tion and there were about five shots. There was a slight pause between the first and second shots, but they were so close together that it was hard to say that they were not all together. Heard a young lady seream. Distriet Attorney Cole—Describe that scream, lense P Witness—Well, it was just like all screams, sir. 30 LEVITY ALLOWED. A suppressed titter followed this from most of the ladies in the court room. Judge Bradley (severely)—This is not the place nor is this a case for levity. ‘The witness—After the shooting I started to go down an ail 1710 Q street, when a man in that house raised a window and said, “What the matter?” ‘The man wuo did the shooting was on the sidewalk Crows-examined: Was going toward 18th street when the ahooting occurred. Could not say how many people there were im the group where the shooting took place. The shooting Was on the sidewalk, and it was from west to east.
