SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY PROMISED. Revelations to Be Made ‘by = Member of the Whisky Trust. Curcago, Feb. &.—The News Record pub- Ushes a story to the effect that among the wit- nesses that are to be called to testify before the congressional committee investigating the whisky trust is an old-time member of the “whisky pool,” and subsequently the trust, now living in this cits His information is likely to be sensational, as he bas been for months gathering letters, tole- grams and documents concerning methods adopted by the trust. Inside facts are detailed of frauds against the government since 1865 in which a great many | prominent politicians cf the present time figure, who have been from time to time connected with the internal revenue department. One of the startling features of the evidence, it is said, will be the account of the attempted destruction at the Schufeldt distillery in the early morning of December 10, 1888, It was the intention of thowe planning the destruction of the distillery to have two bombs thrown through a gines skylight on the one- story roof of the store room, which con- tained 1,400 barrels of ‘the spirits of wine. | The dynamite had been prepared, one with a long fuse and the other with a short one. Of the two men who had sneaked along in the early dawn to wreck the Schufeldt buildings one was a high official ofa rival concern and the other wasn trusted employe, who had been hired to throw the bomb. At the last moment the enormity of the crime caused him to lose his nerve and his chief was obliged to hurl the deadiy missiles. He, too, lost his nerve and threw the dynamite with the shorter fuse. This exploded before the second could be thrown. One man bore away a contract author- izing him to be paid $20,000 for his part of the transaction. This was not paid, however, and itissaid the man will now turn against the trust. The developments, however, will not stop at the disclosure of the attempts on the Schu- feldt’s distilleries, The illicit manufacture and sale of whisky through the collusion of revenue officers, inspectors, gaugers and gov- ernment storekeepers will be exposed. ‘This portion of the evidence will, it is claimed by the Record, take in nearly all the large centers, including this city, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Peoria, Bloomington, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Springfield and Indianap- | olis, —_——> — ARRIVAL OF THE PEKING. The Overdue Pacific Ocean Liner Sighted. Sax Faaxcisco, Feb. 6.—The overdue steam- ship City of Peking has been sighted. Sax Francisco, Feb. 6.—The Pacific Mail | steamship San Juan left here last evening to search for the City of Peking, now nearly two weeks overdue. The San Juan cleared at the custom house under special permit, which permite her to enter any port. She carried half a dozen expert machinists, engineers and metal workers, together with shafting and such othe: machinery as are Ikely to be required in repairing the City of Peking if she has met with an accident in her machinery department. The pantry andstore- room were fully stocked. = Other important preparations include a hun- dred powerful rockets of the sort used by mariners to give notice of distress and to fire life lines ashore when the vessel is stranded or on rocks within reach of the main- land. The San Juan will lay her course for Honolulu in the track of the Oceanic 5.8. Com- y's vessels. ‘The Australia, due here next Wendesday, will be the principal object of search during today and Tuesday and a lookout will also be kept for several sugar boats that have left Honolulu at late dates. A meeting with the Australia will settle the question whether the Peking has made Honolulu or not. If she has the San Juan will go on to the islani she would if she met her at sen. San Juan will go to the southward for a couple of hundred miles in the path of the Peking. puedes ces RESULTED IN AN ANARCHIST OUT- BREAK. ‘Tragic Termination of = Religious Quarrei at Barcelona. Maparp, Feb. 6—The meeting in Barcelona yesterday, which began ina religious demon- stration, developed into an anarchist outbreak.

Richardson Has the Certifiente of Election and Belknap Will Contest. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Gnaxp Rarips, Mrcu., Feb. 6.—The decision of the state supreme court upon the congres- sional situation in this district is inter- esting, but will not have much bear- ing upon the result. The election of George ¥. Richardson, the populist - democratic candidate, were conceded by a plurality of tt before the official returns were canvassed. official canvass gave Capt. Chas. E. knap, the republican candidate for re-election, a plurality of eleven. manded a recount in Kent and Ionia counties, | The Kent canvassing board was republican and Ionia democratic. The Kent board completed its labors first and when Tonia finished a plurality of seventeen was re- turned for Richardson in the district Betas canvassing board accep’ 088 res as final, issued a certificate of elec- tion to Mr. Richardson and the certificate was promptly forwarded to Washing- ton to be recorded. Belknap appealed to the supreme court, and the ;court finds that the recount in Tonia was unfatr and unjust, and orders that the Ionia county board reassemble and make returns on the face of the original returns before recounting. ‘The court also ordered the state canvassing board to recall the certificate iamed to Richard- son and to give credentials of election to Belk- nap instead. next House will thus have two sets of cre- dentiale from this district—_thoee presented by Richardson, the first to be put on file, and Belk- nap’s—and can act on whichever certificate it pleases." The ‘effect, however, will be that iknap will be the contestant for the seat in- stead of Richardson. nacelle OE PROVING AN ALIBI. Opening the Defense in the Trial of Striker Jack Clifford. Prrtssuna, Feb. 6.—Attorney Brennan made the opening speech for the defense this morn- ing in the trial of Jack Clifford, charged with murder at Homestead during the riot on July 6, and said they would be able to show that the defendant was not at the mill or on the grounds until after 12 o'clock noon of that day and that at the hour (11 o'clock, when Connors was shot) Clifford was in bed at his home.

Early Losses in Prices Followed by = Gen- eral Recovery. a" Yorx, Feb. 6.—The unfavorable char- | of Saturday's bank statement is regarded in some quarters as the precursor of stiffer rates for money in the future and was responsible in ‘ measure for the drooping tendency in the gen- eral list of stocks this morning. The indus- trials, however, being independent of the nat- ural causes which affect prices, were opened at material gains over Saturday's last prices, while railroad shares were generaily a shade lower. Some concessions in distillers followed, however, and in the early dealings a drooping tendency marked the transactions in the whole market, while distillers scored a de- cline of 1% per cent to 428 and Man- hattan a loss of 2 to 1664.

The early losses in the general list were par- tially made up in the latter part of the hour, when better feeling was engendered by the reviving hope that no gold would go out tomorrow, and predictions, colored probably by personal interests, were mite that none would go out this week. The market at 11 o'clock was fairly active and firm, generally at insignificant changes from first prices. ‘The stock market was comparatively quiet after 11 o'clock and the firm temper continued, almost all the active stocks reaching slightly higher prices.

Acommittee from the Washington Musical Assembly, K. of L., calied at headquarters this morning to present @ protest from the assembly against the securing of outside music for thi inauguration. They are in favor of the con- tracts being awarded to the Marine Band and to Zimmerman and Stein's orchestra.

Mr. Richard Smith of ball room decora- tions spoke in favor of the appropriation, hav- ing been convinced that this extra illumination would be an extra inducement and would make returns ten-fold to the funds of the committee. After considerable discussion the appropria- tion asked for was made, Mr. Ralph Galt, from promenade concert, reported that his committee had agreed on two sacred concerts on Sunday at 50 cents admis- sion, three concerts on Monday, the first two for 50 cents, the evening one at #1, at which | there would be dancing, and on Tuesday a promenade concert at 35 cents, to which all orphan children will be admitted free. ir.

THE MILITARY PAGEANT. Gen. Schofield has completed his plans for participation of the military in the inauguration ceremonies so far as to recommend to the Sec- retary of War that the garrisons at Fortress Monroe, Va., Fort Myer, Va., Fort McHenry, Md. and at Washington Barracks be represented to their fullest extent in the inaugural parade, ‘The garrisons are constituted as follows: Fort Myer—Troop A, first regiment; troop F, seventh regiment; troop H, eighth regiment, and K, ninth cavalry. Fort Monroe—Troop F, first regiment; bat- tery I, second regiment; ‘batteries B and M, third regiment; battery H, fourth regiment, and battery G, fifth artillery. ‘ort McHenry, Md.—Batteries D and I, third artillery. Washington Barracks—Batteries C, E, K and L, third artillery. ‘One of the batteries at Fortress Monroo and aemall number of scldiers of the other gar- risons will necessarily be detained at the posts for guard duty, &c. As the order includes all the soldiers at the posts named who can be spared it is expected that there will be at least 800 regulars in line. Gen. Schofield’s plan will undoubtedly be approved by Secretary Elkins in a day or two, and the orders will probably be issued before the present week closes. MILITIA TROOPS TO COME. The military committee is in receipt of in- formation from Col. Wylie Jones that the Pal- mefto regiment, Columbus. 8. C., will be present with the governor and staff of that state, Col. Corbin is also informed by letter from Gov. Morris of Connecticut, that and his staff will be present and participate in the inauguration on the 4th of March. In reply to many inquiries made of the com- mittee concerning ments of troops from the several states in the inaugural parade on the 4th of March, Col. Corbin has, in the ab- sence of Gen, McMahon, addressed the follow- ing letter to Chairman ‘Berret of the general committee: "Having reference to our conversation of this morning relating to the order of precedeice of aie from the several states in the escort on the 4th of March next, I have the honor to state that the grand marshal has determined to adhere to long established dent, which makes assignments as follows: First, the regular United States, military and naval; the troops of the District of Columbia, the troops from the states in the order of the admission of said states into the Union.’ ‘The military committee, through Col.

Big Deals in Stock Cause a Sensation To- day. ‘THE BELT LINE, THE METROPOLITAN AXD Co- LUMBIA SAID TO BE ABOUT TO PASS UXDER ONE MANAGEMENT—THE TALK ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE. On the floor of the local stock exchange today and in the office of the stock brokers the theme of absorbing conversation was | the city street railways. All sorts of rumors {were fying about with regard to the pur- chase of various street railways, and the effect on the future of such enterprises in thi city of the reported changes in the manage- ment also figured largely in the discussion. When all the talk and rumors were sifted down it was found that today « controlling interest | in the stock of the street railway line operated by the Belt Company had been trans- ferred to an individual. Exactly who that in- dividual is was not known even among some of the best informed stock brokers in the city. Some were confident that the sale was made in the interest of the New York or Philadelphia syndicate which is credited with the intention of con- tructing an electric road between this city and Baltimore. Others mentioned in this con- nection the name of a well-known member of the present directorate of the Belt road. However, it was definitely known that the transfer of 5,000 shares of stock, which represents the controlling interest in the road, had passed into the ownership of one individual, The price which it was stated was paid for thi stock was €55 per share. ‘The par value of the tock is $50, but only €25 has been paid in. On Saturday the asking price of this stock on the stock exchange was reported to be $43. OTHER Roaps. It was also rumored that a controlling inter- est in the Metropolitan road and in the Colum- bia road had been secured, and it | was reported that one large block of Metro- politan stock was sold for $175 per ehare. Re- cently this stock has been quoted on the local exchange at $90 per share. The controlling interests in these three roads, it is statea, will be placed under one management, and the lines wili be incorporated in one system in which will be operated complete transfer of passengers. The combination thus formed, holding one of the most valuable aggregations of street railway franchises in the city will be ima position to equip the system with some modern rapid transit motor and thus furnish facilities to the traveling public equal to those now given on the Washington and Georgetown Fe ———— AN EXTRA SESSION, The Action of the Senate Today Believed to Make One Certain. The action of the Senate in refusing to take up the silver question seems to settle the ques- tion of action in that body on the proposed repeal of the silver purchase law. It is believed also to make practically certain the calling of an extra session of Congress in the spring for the purpose of stopping the | purchase of'tilver. It is too early to determine what effect the vote in the Senate will have on the course followed by the anti-silver men in the House, but the probability is that the effort for a repeal will be pi as earnestly as if there were some chance for action in the Senate. An extra session, it was said today, would probably be called soon after the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland, and there is very little doubt felt that there will be little, if any, distribu- tion of patronage under the new administra- tion until this silver question is disposed of. ee HAS SEEN CLEVELAND. But Representative O’Ferrall is Uncom- maunicative as to the Result of His Visit. Representative O'Ferrall of Virginia returned this morning “from New York, where he bad gone to see Mr. Cleveland. His return to the city was preceded by reports in the papers to the effect that the distinguished Virginian had experienced a change of heart and was silver purchasing act. ‘This story Mr. O'Ferrall denies with emphasis. “I had a very pleasant and quite a lengthy call upon Mr. Cleveland,” suid Mr. O'Ferrall, “but the subject of silver was not mentioned. I do not recall that even the word silver was mentioned during our conversation. Neither the Presi- dent-elect nor myself referred directly or indi- rectly to the Sherman act nor the possibility of its repeal.” ‘This was all that Mr. O'Ferrall would say, and concerning anything else that may have transpired he was discreetly silent | and uncommunicative. HORSES ON ECKINGTON BRANCHES. The Amendment Agreed on by Congress Said to Be Only a Temporary Measure. ‘The signature of the President is all that is now necessary to allow the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company to operate horse cars on the proposed extension. | The Senate late Saturday afternoon agreed |to the House amendments to that bill | which will allow the road two more years | Within which to complete their extension and | allow them the privilege of using horse power over all of their lines. This matter was dis- cussed before the Senate District committee ani it was decided that the road should be given this relief. It was urged on behalf of the railroad company that their storago-battery system, used on G street, had proved a fail- ure, not only was the expense so great that the’ company would soon be unable to continue it, but the weight of the cars was rapidly destroying their road beds and the adjoining pavements, The committee felt that uniess the road was given some temporary relief until another motive power could be determined upon by it the company might be forced to suspend. It is understood by the committee, though not so stated in the provisions of the bill that the privilege is only temporary one and will be revoked so soon as the District committee can determine mm of motive power shall be ivilege granted, yo it extends to all the lines will affect only the Cap- itol Hill extension, as the railroad company has informed the committee that they will operate the trolley where so allowed, and the com- pany already bas the privilege, it claims, to ‘operate horse power on the Sth and G street lines. Senator McMillan, chairman of the committee, raid today: “We decided to allow this company the right to operate horse cars on their extension in order that the may be able to construct their extension an give the people on Capitol Hill « railroad line, It isa temporary grant. We can reject it when some other y peo decided upon. Ws convinced that the storage battery system operated on G street was failure, and that the expense to the road was so great that they would be unable to build the extensions granted them.” Senator Harris, who made the motion to concur in the House amendment, practically indorsed the statement made by Senator McMillan, and stated further that ithad come to the point where some relief was imperative.

The con- demned man was brought up from jail in the Yan, together with several other prisoners. If he has undergone any change since the inquiry began there is nothing in his personal appear | ance to indicate it, for when brought into court by Bailiff Springman this morning his dark hair was as long and matted, bis black beard as traggling and bis features as drawn and haggard = as when he was brought |into the Criminal Court for _resentence last month.

The first witness yalled by the defense was Letter Carrier J. W. Blumer, who said be had known the prisoner for fifteen years during their boyhood, having been playmates. He said he never considered Schneider “right.” He was always erratic and talked in a rambling manner. He was always full of absurd schemes, in which witness took no stock. About four or | five months before the shooting he enid he had | an electrical scheme for beating anything ever j heard of. It was to run an electric locomotive between here and Richmond. To the district attorney witness said that | while other men were engaged in wo up | such things, it seemed particularly foolish in | Schneider, who to the witness always appeared ‘foolish. As a boy Schneider always wante- to be considered a great fellow. He never took | much interest in boyish sporte. At times he | would grow very excited up | provocation. Witness had not known bim | mately of late years, but had known him to drink two or three giasses of beer of an evening. JAMES W.

He said that he used bring him from the jail ina buggy he would make light of the shooting. and when- ever he saw girls would make light remarks about them. The buggy used was an old one, and Schneider once offered to give witness a $300 Brewster buggy. Schneider was very | prehen-ive that some one in court would arm and begged im, witness to protect He once told witness that a man, named Savage was making a brand of whisky which Schneider could get for | Jon, and which was so strong that three gallons could be made out of it and it would sul be above proof.

He often refused to talk and became untidy in his personal apy When witness saw him in jail after that Schneider would often refuse to speak to or recognize him, Last month, several dara be- fore he was broughtup for resentence,when wit ness told him to prepare to come up, Schneider said he would not go. and asked what they ted with him. When told Schneider said No, no; they want to murder me—to hang | me.” After he was resentenced.and, upon being taken back to the cage beneath the court room. Schneider threw himself dowa in corner and yelled, “Murder, murder!” When an- other | officer came into the cage Schneider cried: “Take him 1 Take iim away! He wants to kill me!” Daring this inquiry Schneider had compisined of the peo- ple in the court room, saying they bothered and annoyed him. This morning be had again made the same complaint and wanted to know how long he was to be kept in court, saying that he was sick and wanted to lie down. One day last week his mother brought some stewed oysters to him at the court room, but she could only get him to eat about half of them. Schnei- der had lately complained of people trving to poison his food and of throwing vitriol on him. CROSS-EXAMINED. ‘On cross-examination Mr. Springman said he invariably discovered Schneider sitting in his cell on the end of the cot with bowed head and hat pulled down over his eyes. During the trial Schneider was bright and cheerful and made light of his position, appearing to be confident of acquitt Witness was himself apprehensive that some of the spectators at the trial would harm Schneider and spoke of the matter to Judge Bradiey and to the district attorney. District attorney—Well, nothing strange that Schne ful, too. ‘The witness—No, sir; none whatever. Es- pecially after hearing some of the remarke made by people in the court room. District attorney—Schneider often consulted his counsel during the trial, did he not? The witness—Yes, sir; and often made dis- Paraging recarks about witnesses, District attorney—About those whose testi- mony bore heavily against him? The witness— ‘es, sir. WHEN HE HEARD THE VERDICT.
