Bill Further Dis- cussed in the House. THE SENATE, ‘The feature of the morning business Senate was the induction of Senator-clect Roger Q Mills of Texas into his new dignity. A handsome floral basket and two bouquets of roses, lilies and carnations adorned the desk in the Senate chamber of the framer of the Mulls Dill. The seat of Mr. Mills ison the extreme right of the democratic side of the chamber. It is in the second row, but is one of the least desirable seats in the chamber. Senator Vilas has the desk immediately in front of Sen- ator Mills, A number of Sir. Mills’ colleagues in the House came over to the north end of the Capito! building to witness the ceremonies of his inauction into his new office. Thirty or more of the members of the House lifted the rear of the democratic side of the chamber when Mr. Mills was escorted into the Senate chamber by his colleague, Senator Coke. Mr. Mills was looking in splendid health and in very good humor. Senator Vilas greeted him as be was escorted to his seat. After several reports from com- mittees had been received Senator Coke pre- sented the credentials of Roger Q Mills as Senator-elect from the state of Texas. SENATOR MILLS SWORN IN. After the reading of the credentials Vice President Morton announced that they would be recorded and placed on the files, aud yuested the Senator-elect to come forward and take the oath of office, which he did, es- corted to the Vice President's desk by Senator Coke. Vice President Morton read the oath of office, to which Mr. Mills signitied his adhesion by a formal bow and by his signature. ‘The new Senator then returned to the rear of the Senate, where he was compelled to hold a reception, as his former astociates in the House crowded forward and caused more confusion than is usual in the decorous Senate by extend~ ing warmly their congratulations Minister Montt of Chile also extonded his good wishes. Mr. Bland was by the side of George Fred Williams and Tom Watson of Georgin and Jerry Simpson of Kansas by the side of Repre- sentatives Sayers of Texas and Lynch of Wis- consin in the line of members wishing Mr. ‘Mills success in his new field of duty. TO PUNISH TREATY VIOLATIONS. ‘The usual morning business was transacted, number of routine petitions being presented and anumber of reports made and biils intro- duced, none of them of special importance ex- cept one by Senator Dolph from the committee on foreign relations to provide for the punish- ment of treaty violations of treaty rights of m8. This dill _was suggested by the Italian trouble in Orleans last year. The bill went on the calendar. SENATOR STANFORD ON LEGAL TENDERS. Senator Stanford (Cal.) then addressed the Senate in support of the bills introduced bs him to determine the value of « legal tender dollar. THE HOUSE On the floor of the House this morning be- fore the hour of noon there were but few mem- bers, but these few congregated bebind the screens on the democratic side and tenderedan informal reception to Mr. Mills (Tex.), who to- day severs his long association with the lower branch of Congress in order to assume the toga of the Senate. While he was congratulated on every hand upon his promotion the congratu- lations were blended with earnest regrets that the House had lost one of 11 prominent leaders and the individual members a pleasant and able colleague. ‘THE FREE WOOL BILL. Mr. McMillin (Tenn-), stating that it was the Gesire of the committee on ways aud means to close the discussion on the wool bill on Satur- day, asked thatan evening session be held tonight for general debate. There was no ob- jection and the House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Blount (Ga.) in the chair, on the free wool bill. es FOR A FREE LIBRABY. & Bill Introduced in the House Today by Representative Hemphill Mr. Hemphill introduced in the House to ay a bill to establish a free libzary and read- ing room in thiscity. ‘The bil: provides that there be, and ishereby, established free public and departmental library and reading room for the use of the citizens of the District of Columbia and of the employes of the several departments and offices of the government in Washington.

Inthe Schneider murder trial after Tue Sran’s report closed yesterday afternoon Wittie Jefferson, a colored cook at Mrs. Campbell's, 1733 De Sales street, corroborated Sarah Bro- dus’ testimony given yesterday respecting the statements made by Emma Jackson, the col- ored cbambermaid at Frank Schneider's. Emma Jackson, it will be remembered, testi- fied for the defense that she was in Frank Schneider's dining room when the shooting occurred; that she looked out and saw flashes coming from opposite directions, and that she heard not less than seven shots. Wittie Jeffer- son, in addition to corroborating Sarah Brodus’ Hammerly of Loudoun , Va. He identi- fied the defendant asa man. he had driven over from Round Hill, Va., the evening of 1th of J to’ Mr. J. B. " about six Or seven distant. - Witness duced his account book imeorroboration of the date and stated that ‘there was a, young man with the defendant and described his personal: sppearance, = Aeseription a the farion Ap, every particular} Dir. Thomas was hot nt home aud the dofendant told the servant to.say that Mr. Schneider had called. Witness stated that there was no train to Washi that night, Judge Wilson moved to strike out the testi- mony of the witness on the ground that it was collateral, it having failed to rebut any evi- dence offered by the defense. The district attorney said that both Frank Schneider and the defendant had sworn that tho defendant was locked out of the Hamlink house the night the defendant had worked at Frank Schneider's house, which was the night preceding the entertainment given at the lat- ters house. That entertainment, he would show, wax given on the evening of January 15. cross-examined by Judge Wilson, the witness stated that Le did not know the object of th defendant's visit to Mr. Thomas. He didn’t ask the defendant's business there. Judge Wilson then stated that the defendant was locked out of the Hamlink residence the 12th of December and the 19th of January. The witness excused, the court, at 8:45, ad- journed until this morning. Today's Proceedings. The same great throng clamoring for admis- sion to the trial of Howard J. Schneider for the NO MORE SEATS. testimony. which was to the effect that Emma Jackson bad on several occasions made de- cidedly contrary statements to those which she made on the witness stand, stated that Emma Jackson had told her (witness) that Mr. Frank ‘hneider had called her (Emma) upstairs and said to her that if she could testify to hearing two distinct shots he would see that she lost nothing by it, Witness also stated that Emme had said to her that she knew nothing about the shooting, but that she afterward had said that she had forgotten seeing the two flashes. On cross-examination the witness merely reiterated the statements made on the examina- tion in chief. Sarah Brodus was then recalled for further cross-examination by Judge Wilson, aud ques- tioned concerning the date of the conversations with Emma Jackson, but nothing new was elicited. POLICE SERGEANT MYERS. Police Sergeant Myers was next called, and corrected his former testimony by stating that onthe night of the shooting he was acting lieutenant in charge of the K_ street station, and that he left the station about 7:40 p.m., and got back in about an hour and one-half later. He stated that when he got back to the station he found Officers Acton, Goucher and others there, and also found Frank and Will Schneider, Mr. Manning and Mr. Palmer there. The defendant was then locked up. Witness took the defendant's two brothers back to the cell my the door of the cell unlocked? , sir. Did a conversation ensue between the de- fendant and his brothers? Yes, sir. Were you there during all of it? Yes, sir; but { took very little part in it. Was there anything said by the defendant to his brothers or to you about bullet holes in his clothes? Not a word. Was there anything said by the defendant concerning the whereabouts of his pistol? No, sir. But when Mr. Wm. Schneider said to the prisoner, “My God, Howard, what is this you have done?” the defendant said: “Go Lack and you will find a pistol in Frank Ham- link’s hand.” Was there anything beyond this said about a pistol by the defendant on this occasion? Nothing whatever. Was there any whispered conversation be- — the defendant and either of his broth- ers’ None whatever. [A flat contradiction of the defendant and his brother Frank.] The entire conversation did not last over ten minutes, and st its conclusion the defendant's brothers and Manning and Palmer left. Were youat the station when they called later in the evening? No, sir. FUTILE ATTEMPTS OF THE DEFENSE. In his cross-examination of Sergt. Myers Judge Wilson endeavored to have the witness state the entire conversation which took place THE JURY FILES IN. between the defendant and his brothers, but the court ruled that only such parts of it could be demanded as were brought out on the ex- amination in chief. Judge Wilson then at- tempted to get the whole conversation by ask- ing several other questions, which differed one from another ouly in construction, but the court made a similar ruling in each ‘instance, toall of which rulings exceptions were noted. Did you hear all of the conversation, sergeant? asked Judge Wilson. Yes, sir. How near did you stand to the defendant’ brothers during the conversation I almost touched Frank Sehneider and Wm. Schneider stood close beside us. Was the celi ope No, sir; it was locked the whole time. Did you examine the defendant's clothing that night? No. sir: not until they were shown me by the defendant the next morning in the presence of his two brotuers. ‘TO CONTRADICT JAMES H. WALKER. ‘The next two witnesses were two gentlemen etaployed in the Post Office Department, John H. Sumner and Warner Green, who were called for the purpose of contradicting James H. Walker, a witness for the defense, who testified tha: he heard seven shots. Mr. Sumner testified that he lived at 9151 street and that he was a clerk in the Post Office boy stom He stated that he knew James H. Walker, und that Le had a conversation with bim in a room at the department the early part of week befgre last. Warner Green ent during the conversation. Walk them that be would testify that there was a space between the first and second shots, and that four rapidly fired shots followed the first one. He told them that he and his wife had talked over the number of shots fired and*that they could not be mistaken in the matter. Walker also said that there were “niggers” on the jury, and that they would never convict, as the de- fonse Gry rich. (Ihe court struck out this last answer. Judge Wilson (warmly) — your honor, I Protest against this assailing of the jury, and 1 Fonew my motion to arrest the case. Po Judge Bradley—It is not worth while going over that. The motion is overruled. [Excep- tion noted.} On cross-examination by Judge Wilson the witness said that he ori as far ashe re- embered, told any one of what Walker had said. Judge Wilson—How did the district attorne; get hold of that conversation? Rise Witness—I don't know. It isa mystery to me. The witness stated that he was sure Walker said there were only five shots, for he esid— using his band to illustrate—that there was one shot, a pause and thensfour more shots, fired as’ rapidly as @ self-cocking revolver hereby made the duty of of the District to include their annual estimates sub- } E At i 7 F | | F I & F i i | | killing of his wife characterized the opening of the twentieth day of this case this morning. Nota fifth of the crowd was admitted, bow- ever, despite their prayers and entreaties. It is needless to state that the great majority of those who sought admission were women. As the trial nears its close the interost in it in- creases, and, if for nothing else, it will be re- membered ae one of the most largely attended trials ever held in the Criminal Court room. Judge Wilson stated to the court that la evening the defense had for the first time heard of a witness whose testimony was very material and important to the interests of the defendant, and he. asked that they now be al- lowed to put the witness on the stand. ‘The district attorney stated that since the trial began the government had heard of a dozen witnesses whose testimony would be very valuable to the government, but that unless the government was allowed the priv: ege of calling these witnesses he would object. He, however, thought that such step would be unwise in'any event. ‘The court declined to pass upon the matter until the request of the defense had been put in the shape of an affidavit. Judge Wilson stated that he was fecling far from well and would like an adjournment until 12 or 1 o'clock, but later decided that he would try to go on. OFFICER GOUCHER RECALLED. Officer Goucher was then recalled for the purpose of showing the time a telephone mes- sage was received announcing that a murder had been committed. Itwas received, said the witness, at 7:08. He recognized the’ voice of the officer who sent the message. On cross-examination by Judge Wilson the witness said he distinctly remembered the message because it was the first one received that night. ‘here were @ great many more received that night. SERGT. JOSEPH ACTOX. Police Sergt. Joseph Acton testified that he reached the station shortly after the de- fendant. He was there when Frank Schneider brought the bed clothing. He followed hima short distance as he went back to the cell and kept Frank Schneider in sight all the time. Ofkcer Goucher unlocked the cell door and Frank Schneider stepped to the sill of the cell door. ‘There was a little conversation be- tween the defendant and Frank Schneider, but no whispered conversation. Cross-examined by Judge Wilson the witness said Le thought he heard all the conversatioi but would not swear that someting could not have been said which he did not hear. [The whole of the convershtion not permitted to be given and exception noted. ] WM. W. M'CULLOUGH. Wm. W. McCullough, a lumber dealer at 14th and W streets; said he knew Jos. F. Manning, and hada conversation with him in a barber shop on ifth street on the 14th of February. Manning said he picked young Hamlink up, and found the pistol in his (Harlink’«) hand. Cross-examined by Judge Wilson, witness said Manning said thatus he raised young Ham- link up ho took it (the pistol) out of nis hand and handed it to the police of He did not say when he handed it to the police officer. Mr. Arms, an assistant of the district attorney, was there and several others. The barbershop was full of customers. He could not say who the others were. His attention was called to Mr. Manning’s words by the barber the follow- ing Tuesday or Wednesday. He remembered the precise words, because of the importance of the case, He was positive that Manning eaid then just what he did. ‘The district attorney asked if there was a particular reason for remembering what was said when Judge Wilson said that he wanted had said, and bad made a statement to the dis- trict attorney of what he had said. Officer Voelbel was recallod and corroborated the preceding witnes as to what Manning hed said ing the fi of the expt thas Oficer. Vout * was not present when conversa- tion took Cross-examined by Judge Wilson, the witness said that not until Inst Saturday had he talked of the conversation. He remembered v. Well all that Mr. Manning had said and ropeat it. Told his wife of what Manning had sald Inst Saturday.. Aloo’ told the district attorney then. Judge Wilson—Didn’t he say to you then— ‘The court—Don’t answer. Judge Wilson—Allow me to finish the ques- tion, your honor. ‘The court—You have repeatedly asked b Sen tions over and over again which have been ruled out and which you knew you s hadno right to ask. It is utterly in ential w) the district attorney said. pial: Judge Wilson, to put the question on the record, then put it in writing, but the court ruled it out on the ground that what the dis- trict attorney said was entirely immaterial. NEWMAN HAMLIXK. Newman Hamlink, the fifteen-year-old son of Col. Hamlink, testified that he heard Manning say he picked the revolver up # yard from Frank Hamlink’s body. The witness was not cross-examined. THOS. P. BORDEN RECALLED. Thos. P. Borden was recalled and testified that he had a conversation with the defendant s week or 80 before the shooting. ‘The con- versation was begun by the defendant. In order that the district attorney might find the evidence given by the defendant concern- ing the conversation Mr. Borden was directed to retire for a time. J. B. THOMAS OF SNICKERSVILLE. J.B. Thomas of Snickersville, Va., was re- called and denied the defendant's statement that on the occasion of a visit by the witness to the Hamlink family in January last a re- volver was examined by witness, the defend- ant and Frank Hamlink in the latter's room. ‘There wasa revolver examined in the room about November 26 last, however. It was a five-chamber one, bnt of a make unknown to the witness. The defendant went out of the room and returned with a istol with a — six-chambered —_ one. Vitness said that he was present at the Hamlink residence the 17th of iast January, when, at the dinner table, witness said to the defendant that he was sorry that he was not at home the day he (defendant) called on him (witness) a few day us. Col. Hamlink then said to thedefen “I thought you said you were in Norfolk then Gross-examined by Judge Wilson, the witnes said that the pistol shown by Frank Hamlink Frank said was his. It opened at the side. Judge Wilson, handing the witness the pistol found by Frank Hamlink’s body—Was it a pis- tol like this one? Witness—Yes, sir. Did you see a pistol case there? Yes, sir. Did the pistol fit it? Yes, 6 A pistol case being produced by the distric attorney as the one which hung in Frank Ha! link’s room = night of the shooting, the wit- MR.

Redirect—Witness said that he could not swear that the pistol shown him and the one he saw Frank Hamlink have was the same. SPECIAL OFFICER KILEY. Special Officer Dennis D. Riley testified that he was at the ecene of the shooting the night it occurred. He was asked by Frank Schneider to accompany lim in the search for the pistol in the alley. Frank Schneider led the way from Col. Hamlink’s resi- They entered the alley from Madison street, and after going up the alley until a cross’ alley was encountered, Frank Schneider suggested that they should turn to the right, saying that the pistol would be found behind a telegraph pole. They went east until an alley crossing north and south was reached, where the pistol waa found standing on _ its handle be- hinda telegraph pole. [Pistol exhibited and identified.] — Witness examined the pistul closely. He found five discharged shells in it. Did youfind any indications of the pistol hav- ing been recently discharged? [Question not allowed.} Witness said he found no powder marks on the pistol, and detected no odor of rently ex- ploded powd. Cross-exam: y witness said the pistol was found between 10:30 and 11 the night of the shooting. (Witness not lowed to give the conversation between him and Frank Schneider.

Judge Wilson—With all due deference to the court I do not know I ouzhn’'t to have it. That is where the court and I differ on the law in the The court—Well, you cannot have the whole conversation. [Exception noted.] PUILIY RODIER. Philip Rodier, 921 22d street, a carpenter, said he knew Jos. F. Manning by sight. On the day of the inquest on Frank Hamlink’s body he heard him say in a conversation with the witness that when he went out to young Hamlink’s body he lifted him up and found the | under hint. ¢ Piefoee-ciamined by Judge Wilson, the Witness said that he bad half au hour's talk’ with bim. ‘Do you remember that he said anything else?

THERE WILL BE SERIOUS DISAGREEMENTS BE- TWEEN THE TWO HOUSES ON THE APPROPRIA- TION BILLS—THEN THE TARIFF BILLS AND THE SILVER QUESTION WILL CoNsUME TIME. In the discussion of the question of early ad- journment the democrats of the House have not been counting on the possibility of great obstacles arixing from the course of the Senate as to the appropriationzbills. On the Senate side the prospects for an early adjournment are not as roxy as they seem to many in the south wing of the Capitol. The general opinion among Senators, as expressed this morning in conversation, is that, although the business of the session is likely to be con- fined to routine matters in the main, the prob- able friction between the Senate and House in regard to the details of the appropriation bills | bids fair to be even greater than usual, and this in itvelf will havea tendency to protong the session. So far as the actual status of the money bills iv concerned it is almost asTavora- | ble in the Senate as in the House. ‘The work on the bills is well ahead, and they are in a far more advanceg condition in committee than usual ut iis time of year. Eut the discrepan- cies between the texts of the House aud Senate versions are exceedingly numerous and im- Flant, and promise to Uecome still more Formidable as the work on the ills advances, ‘The disagreement on these points will not be as to mere details, susceptible of easy adjast- ment, but will be radical and _irreconcilabie in many respects. It is gathered, therefore, from cofsultation with severul leading officials well versed in muttors relating to appropriations the Senate that the conferences between two houses promise to Be tong and bitter, with & good chance of a deadlock in some instances, Tae sageoetion: that an adjournment might be by the Ist of July was scouted in one oi the Senate committee rooms, where man} Senate officials were busily on; p fiuancial bila. “Better add a mon: ‘THE SILVER QUESTION. It remains true, however, that there is no intention.at present among Senators generally of prolonging the session unnecessarily. They get through and Ve off Tor" stiouospoli ad t go. “Senator Cailislo ‘said this Pra cat under: new silver movement in the House ‘to have, ivehvermte la Rees very well to advance the interests baw but, Mr. Stewart has a SLEocs os not regarded probable that», majori the Setate will want to tae the risk of than could would from the democrats to the republicans, and they feel that this would be impolitic, ‘especially at this time, and considering also that any attempt at silver legislation this season is now certain of failure, ‘THE TARIFF BILLS. ‘The third possible obstacle to an early ad- Journment rélates to the tariff bills now before the House and pending in the ways and means committee. It is taken for granted by Senators that the House will pass several of these bills, many of which Probably reach the Sen- ate at a comparatively late day.

Accordingly, between the certain ments regarding the appropriations and the possibility of extended debates on tariff and silver matters Senators and the officials in and about the Senate are disposed to dissent from the theory of a very carly adjournment, though it is generally agreed that there is no likelihood of such a long-drawn-out session as many recent Congresses have indulged in, ———-2-_ Nominations by the President.
