SEPTEMBER 16, 1888, —SIXTER THEY ALL WANT T0 ADJOURY. But Both Houses are Afraid to Move First. CONGRESSMAN MILLS AND TEXAS His Tariff Bill Mects With Bittor Op- position Among the Sheep Grow- ers—A Word to Republicans —Army Implements, Adjournment Imminent, WASHINGTON BUREAU 10E OMARA BER, 514 FOURTEENTI STRERT, ASHINGTON, t. 18 A remarkable condition of affairs exists in congress. In vulgar parlance everybody is “rattled.” A feeling pervades every avenue of the capitol that congress is on the disin- tegrating point and that it is liable to go to pieces almost any day. The presiding offi- cers in the two houses and the chairman of the caucus and other leading committees were unable to-day to forecast the work for next week, although they have been able to do s0 every Saturday during the nine months of this session. Thoy frankly state that no conclusion could be reached and no arrange- mont could be made for taking up anything; that in both houses men seemed to have come 10 the conelusion that all of the business has boen done for this session and that nothing remains except to adjourn. There are but two regular appropriation bills unfinished, the sundry civil and the general deficiency, and the former has been agreed upon in con- ference and will undoubtedly be adopted on Monday, while the latter can be gotten out of the way by Thursday. The impression is general that the democrats in caucus on Tuesday night will agree to adjourn and that the senate will caucus so that there will not be more than three and probably but two weeks more of the session. nly men in the other branch of congress who object to an adjournment are the democratic members ©f the house committee on ways and means Wwlo are in the majority and the republicans Wwho have control of the senate committee on finance. This committee always report the resolution for adjournment, and they refuse o take the respousibility under the presont condition of legislation, yet they are in a spirit anxious for adjournment, They seem to think that if they agree to the resolution for adjournment their action will be interpreted by the country as indicating that they are willing to stop the discussion of the tariff aud they take the initiative. It is probable therefore that should the democrats on Tuesday night conclude to offer an ad- Journment resolution that it will not come from the committec on ways and means but will be introduced on the foor of the house and passed without reference o the commit- tee. That procedure may prevail in the sen ate. WIAT'S TIE MATTER WITH TEXAS. It appears, after ail, that there is a good 1of selfishness in Chairman s advo wool. neral Kennedy, a ro- aber of the house from~ Ohio, ay that he had during the week freely with a number of democrats from Texas, including three or four mem bers of the b and they told him that as e Texns did not indorse Mr. Mill's attitude on_the tariff. The e two great business clements in hich are in dircct conflict. Ono is made up of the cattle men, who aro opposed to the sheep industry, and therefore want wool placed on the free list with a hope of driving the sheep raisers ont of the country because the siicep ruin the cattle pastures and are a detriment to the cattlo men, The reverse is true of the men who have flocks of sheep. Mills is in a cattle district and is simply serving the interests of the cattle kings in advocating free wool. There are other distriets in the state which are con- trolicd by the sheep raisers, and they are nmex Mills with some decree of success in view, even if Mills' district, is #,000 demo- i The flight against Mills has 80 heated that he has been compelled to go home and defend himself. Representative Sayres is from the Texas sheep district. He'supported tne Mills bill and there is a revolution against him within his own parly. At one of the conventions held a few days ago for the purpose of select- ing delegates to o Sayers nominating con- wvention, an effort was made to pass a resolu- tion endorsing his course iu congress, when the shecpmen arose as one man and declared that, while they were willing to have Mr, Sayers renominated and re-clected, they would not prefer an indorsement of his vote for the Mills bill, and if it was attempted they would not’ only defeat the resolution, but would defeat him for re-clection, DON'T BE OVER-CONFIDENT. Republicans continue to adjureone another in Washington against over-confidence on uc- count of the sweeping victories_achieved at the recent clections in Oregon, Vermont and Maine. They say there is but one thing now 1o fear outside of English money, and th over-confidence. They point out’ the neces- sity and the acceptance by the democrats of that necessity, for perfect organization wnd determined effort. That the Mills bill and the foreign policy of the president meets with the hearty disapproval of the people at Jargo there can be no question i the face of the election returns. There is not so much heard in democratic elrcles here about ‘“keeping foremost the tariff jssuc” as there was some time ngo. The overwhelming defeat m these threo states named are laid at the door of the demo- eratic party for its tinkering with the tariff, Representative Sowden of Pennsylvani, the udall democrat who voted against’ the ills bill, and whose public building bill was wotoed, and who was defeated for renouina- tion because he was not in with the adminis- tration on the tariff issue, veaflirms his de- claration that tho free trade democrats will be routed in November, He says there will be efforts put forth from this time ou to confuse public mind as to the real position of the democratic party on the tarifl. Mr. Sowden is a gonuine dewmocrat {”‘ and has been one of the leading men iu is' party for many years. He doc dorse the president’s pos 8 the tariff. He contends that the party as it s now managed 1s inconsistent, and that it is trying to straddle the issue. — Mr. Sowden wepeoated to-day that the object of Chairmun Brice in asking him 1o go upon the stump to talk tariff was to hold in line the tariff pro. toction democrats. He thinks the tration will not be so anxious nov free raw materialsand a general enli of the free list s 1t was a short time ago, and he says further that the declaration of the resident i favor of tariff vezorm by the gement of the free list means fre now and not after awhile, as surc as thel such a thing as free trade. Mr. Sowden, although a democrat, takes the same view of this phase of the president’s messago that the republicans do, and that is th: trade means an enlargement of the free list and nothing else. IMPROVEMENTS IN ARMY IMPLEMENTS, An old regular army officer who was with Quster on many of his canpaigns, and who seen twenty years of Indian campaign- ing, and who fought during the war, was dis- cussing, to-day, the improvements which have boen made recently in fire arms: He eaid: ‘I have fuss attended some of the “'shoots" for the regular army, and have, during the past year or two, participated in a number of oxhibition shooting contests where men in all branches of life wore contestants, It is amazing the improvements which have been made in riflos and side arms during the past few years. I remember that in 1577 —only eleven years ago—we were in a terrible In- dian fight on the western frontier, and some Indians were located in the troes ata dis- tance of only 400 yard from our men, and they were, with what ‘was then considered a_fnely-improved rifle, mflngdm our soldiers, 'The oMcer in mand called up his sharp shooters and directed them to dislodge the Indians from troes, ‘The men Instantly measured the listance with their eves, and replied that they were helpless—that those Ludians were 400 yards away, and that their gons would mot curry with any degree of accurucy that ‘We were finally compellea to form @line and wake a charge with three or four nice to dislodge turee or four dians. ~We would encounter no such dim- oulty now. The only thing that would be necessury would beto direct a company to flie, und the cuemy would be dislodged with asmuch acciracy as if it wore . only fifty vards distant, [ can easily romember, for it was only twelve or fifteen years ago when sin our practice for target work. ‘We started in at a distance of 100 yards and then lengthened by increasing the dis tance twenty-five yardsat a_time. wowe never think of starting a recruit in at target practice un two hundred yards, and we ich will shoot with a high degree of a thousand yards, and will kill a man at a distance of fifteen hundred yards, I have men in my command who, with their globe sights, wiil take a rifle and hita man at almost every shot at a distance of six or eight hundred yard “Ono of the improvements which will be made in the charge of guns will be_in the Leavy reduction of the weight of lead in the tridge. We will presently be shouting only oue-third as much lea and probably more powder than at present. The guns we have now have a recoil of one hundred and ¢ pounds, which would indicate too much powder is already boing used, 1But with the reinforced cartridges which are coming into use we can Bhoot three times as much weight of powder as of lead. A bullet of thirty-two caliber will carry as far as one of forty-two, and will do as ef- fective service. In fact it is held, and I be- lieve truly, that a thirty-two caliber ball will do more’ effective service than one of forty- two caliber, even it the powder is increased proportionately behind” the It is mnot a matter of the bullets of rifles and side-arms when effectiveness is considered. A needle fired through a man’s heart or brain will kill him as quickly as & minnie-ball. The army intends to devote a great deal more attention to pistol practice in the future than it has in the past. The use of the side-arm has been greatly enhanced by not only the cavalry tactics and drills but by the infantry as well. When we have our men drilled so'that they can use with great accuracy a rifle at a dis- tance of 1,000 yards, and then the carbine at 600 yards, and can on the run or in the saddle fire” pistols with reasonablo cortainty a dis tance of from two to four hundred vard warfare, with its dynamite and torpodoes, is getting down to something like a scientific basis.” PErrY S, HEATH. ol s VICTIM OF SHARKS. The Sad Predicament of a Poor Man and His Family. William Quigley, with his wife and five children, are located av the police station. Their case is one which merits compassion, Mr, Quigley is a veteran of the war and a G. A. R.man. He fought in the battle of Cold Harbor, and carrics upon him many scars. Three years ago he moved from Wisgousin fnto Jewell county, Kansas, hoping to better his condition. He took a farm near Omeo, Jewell county, and his first yoar's crop proved a total failure. The second year he was little better off. During his socond year in the state he endorsed anote for a neighba for a team of horses. His neighhor failing to biy the note, he was held by the holders of the note and compelied to sign another note givin as security his own team. Realizing that he could noy raise the money Quigley went to them and stated the fact, asking for a continnance.

But His Vigilance Was Never 8o Koon as at Present. DEPEW’S IMPRESSIONS ABROAD. The English People Taking Fessons In the Art of Dissimulation From an Ex-American Journalist, England and Free 'frade. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—|Special Telogram to Tk Bee.]—Chauncey M. Depew. has al- ready given an exhaustive review of his im- pressions while abroad, particularly regard- ing the feeling toward the president's article on the tariff question, Regarding this, Depew said: “There have been two overwhelming proofs of the almost universal English sym- pathy with Mr. Cleveland as the expected champion of English political edonomy and of free trade. It was a goneial owlburst of English rejoicing that came from English papers when Cleveland's free trade message reached them. That proof needs no argument to make it clearer or stronger. The almost unanimous jubilations of the English journals over the message, and their accept- ance of it, as based on the same economic ideas that Cobden realized in his cham- pionship of English free trade, could mnot be argued out of ex- istence, misconstrued or misunderstood. Since the civil war closed no American theme has 8o stirred our English cousins and no American event in politics has-so enkin- dled English hopes. To my certain knowl- edge, that is, according to definite impres- i d to me by the ablest, most entative and best informed English alists and politicians—that the first chorus of English delight over the promulga- tion of English political economy by the American president would still be kept up but for the fact that it been gradually made clear that English support of the American president on the issueof free trade and protection was as damaging to its object as it was obnoxious to Americans, who never mingled freely with Englishmen in England. However, one cannot begin to realize how dif- ficult it is for them to adopt any sort of cautious policy in their public uttorances on questions of international importance, More than one shrewd diplomatic game of K ish premiers, in which very large inter- ests wore at stake, has been dofeated by th indifference or recklessnessof English news. papers as the effect of thew free talk about a foreizn government whose friendly dispo- sition was courted. “Phe most distinet and effectual wars Mr. Depew, “was that giv ish newspapers by Willinm: He clbert, formerly editor of the New Yo World, a rabid free trader, who has become an Knghsh tory of the most extrome shade, Land aptured the sstowed on Mr, Hurl- bert avily lon notic filling colunms, This gave Hurlbert a position, giving him, as an cx-American’ journalist, o chance to advise Eunglish journalists’ ho they could best aid Cleveland in the fr i this in the col- Limes at t length and with 1 ke spreciation of the Aineric tua tion.

Such a warnin source was heeded to but I met scarcel entative Englishmen who did not fully understand Mr. Cloveland's policy us based upon free trade princivles, or who did not feel toward Mr. Cleveland and Lis muessagzo just the same way the English Journuls uil falked whon that moessag them the most agrecable surprise e i from the United States.” Viat is the prevailing sentiment among the leaders of English politics and journalism as to Cleveland’s retaliation message !’ asked the reporter, “I can easily answer that. theory i8 that Cleveland made his sudde change of front on the fish question from patient forbearance con- cossions to English and Ca ian interests, 1o warlike aggressivencss, in order to re- capture the Irish vote that had been won by 4 clishmen look upon this swift transformation as being one of the many extraordinary phases of American politic and think it & mere electioncering dodge, which need not occasion the slightest fear s to actual results.

By that time we can defy all competition. Next to the civil war the prosent campaign is the most important struggle this country has known since 1840, and it is fitting that a grandson of the president elected on the is- sue of protection should be the leader of the distinctively American side of the campaign., Harrizon's Visitors.

Thay marched to Harrison's residence carrying their muskets. At 3 this afternoon a de tion of 1,200 arrived from New Albany, ‘A dolegation from New Albuny and il county, over one thousand in number, was the next to pay its respects to General Har- rison. ‘Pheir spokesman was James Atkin son, who spoke at some length, touching the wages and taviff, to which Gene responded in an appropriate speoch the same, Late in the afternoon the Texas veterans, headed by Colonel Degiers, chuirman of the publican state central committee, called ut Harrison's residence and presented him with a beautiful set of mammoth Texas stoer's horus. It was 4 o'clock when a train arrived bringing 300 members of the Irish-American vopublican ctub of Chicago. They were met at the depot by several hundred members of the Columbia club and local Irish organizations and escorte with mu and flying banners to the new Denison hotel, where a reception was held, This was the first distinctively Irish-American delegation that has visited General Harris since his nomination. A reception took place early in the evening in the rotunda of the hotel, and John Beggs acted as spokesman, After touching upon political issues ne concluded : ‘“Gieneral Harrison: By your noble utter- ances in benalf of the down-trodden people of Ireland you have assisted much in building up the strong public opinion which exists to- day in America, and which, beyond a doubt, will in the near future solve the question of the right of the Irish people to self-govern- ment, and for this you are entitled to and have our sincere than k: (eneral Harrison then addressed tho dele- gation. e said in part: “I am sure yon who have en such convineing evidence of your de- votion to the American constitution and i and to American institutions will not falter in this great civil contest, Who, if not the Irish-Americans, versed in the sad story of the commercial ruin of the island they love, shou!d be instructed in the beneficent influ- ence of the protective tariff.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15,—(Special Telegram o Tue Bee]—The sworm that Charles A, Dana’s editorial castigation created at demo- cratic headquartors has not subsided, The Sun stirred up a second storm by calling the itinerant democratic chairman a “rainbow chaser,” stating that he had better stay out west if he thinks the democrats can carry Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, Daua said that Senator Gorman was tem- porarily in commaud at democratic head- quarters; that he was a man of “‘hard polit- ical sense, and n worker—not & rainbow chaser.” Ho also added that it would bo betrer for Colonel brice to stay out west to superintend tho canvass in Michigan, Minne- sota, Wisconsin and Illinois, leaving matters in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to Senator Gorman. The hegira of Colonel Brice to the western states is part of the programme that would have been carried out some weeks ago but for the publication of the fact that Senator Gorman had actually superseded Colonel Brice as chairman, Gorman is now in charge, and will practically control the campaign in the east until election. A prominent democrat said to-day: *“Brice was sent to the west merely to let him down casy, and that henceforth he would bo only the nominal chairman, while the power be- hind the throne would be the veteran politi- cian, Senator Gorman.” He added that Brice would have been sent west sooner, but, the republican papoers found out the pro- gramme und published it, thoreby causing the delay, becauso the democratic leaders did not wish to humiliato the colonel, “The programme, moreover, was for Eugene Higgins, late appointment clerk at Washing- ton and the most skillful of democratic ward bosses in Baltimore, to come on and assist Gorman, This fell through because the president, it is reported, said he could stand orman, but thought it unwise to thrust Hig. gins again before the public.

Musox Crry, 1 [Special to Tue Bek. | —Towa has always been noted as hav. ing been the home of an aborigimal race, but it was not until recently that detinito traces of the now extinet race have been found. In an opén fckd near Charles City mounds of peculiar structure have long been noticed and Prof. Webster, a noted archaeologist, has made an examination of them and some of his discoveries are attracting a great deal of attention from the entific world, On opening one of the mounds the skeletons, in- stead of being laid on the original surface of the ground and the earth piled over them, were found in the bottom of & trench about two feet deep and seven feot long. In this were also found a number of specimens of pottery, some of them showing considerable artistic skill. Several were ornamented With designs, the impressions evidently hav- ing been made with twisted cords. One specimen showed on the bowl marks of the pressure of woven cloth. “The rim of one has an ornament exactly like that found on pottery taken from ancient British grave mounds. In the wounds, or near them, have been found arrow tips, spear stone axes and pieces of pottery most mnumerable. Prof. Webster = says that in some far away age there was evi dently a populous vi at that place, soveral acres being covered with evidences of it. Among the implements is one which is frequently found in such mounds, but whose uses 8o far are conjectural. It is of stone, cresent shaped on one side, flat on the other, coming to a point at each end and grooved n the centor. It is about cight inches louz and two inches in diameter in the thickest part, and is finely polished. The pottery found is of good quality, most of it thick, skillfully moulded and well burned. It is evident that this series of mounds con- stituted an ancient burial place which may been used for many years.

BODENIEK'S UNHOLY AMBITION., It was to Avenge the Deatss of the Haymarket Rioters and then Diea Martyr to Ane archy's Cause. Bodeniok's Ambition, 'MICAGO, Sept. 15 —[Special Telogram to Tur Bee. | —The case of Charles Bodenieclk, a well-known member of the old-time anar chist groups, on a oharge of having in his possession explosive matter without liconse, promises some interesting developments, although the police are as yet vory close- mouthed. Inspector Bonfleld was asked to- day if there was any truth in the statement that Bodenieck was connected with the plot forwhich Hronck and his fellow conspirators were recently arrested and held to the erim- inal court. The insp ctor said that most of the rumors in connection with thoe case are so far guesswork, but he does not deny them, He said that he was busily engaged in work- ing on tho caso, and hoped to be able to say something vext week. Until that time he would make no statement. This evening it is evening paper that Bodenieck has made & confession, and the following is told in regard to his arrest: About two months ago Inspector Bonficld was informed of the queer actions of the man and immedi- ately set about to put him under police sur- veillance. A detective was sent out to locate him, and, if possible, to work in with him and find out his plan of operations. Dotec- tive Phil Miller was detailed on the work and succeeded in locuting the man at No. 83 Green street. Under the assumed name of Peter Martin he soon scraped an acquaint- ance with Bodenieck, who took him into his confidence and unfolded his plot to him. For two weeks Miller slept with his victiw, and then, under pr co of leaving the city, suddenly disappoared, and, assuming o differs ent disguise, shadowed Bodenicck night and day for three woeks, koeping his superiors posted as to the man's whereabouts by nightly report Avout two weeks ago Bodenieck bocame alarmed and, ng that his plans wero about to be unfolded to the police, he moved 0 13) West Washington strect, where ho could pursue his work to a better advantage, Followed by s shadow, Bodenieck patd daily visits” to the referenco room of the public library and there studicd the man- ufacture of explosives, the library containing a number of volumes on this subject, and he was soon faumnliar with their contents. He also procured a copy of Herr Most's treatics on bombs and their manufacture, to which ke applicd himself attentively. At other times he took flying trips abont ‘the city, locating different “buildings which he intended to destroy as soon as he bad his explosive ma- terial perfected. He had already intimated to his friend “Martin® his fear of handling dynamite and the consequences attending his capture should any of the dangerous stuft be found on or near him. This accounts for his desire to procure an explosive equally deadly in_its work, but which would apparently bo considered harmless should he fall into the hauds of the police. Little dreaming that his new found friend was a dotective i the employ of the city, he carefully detailed the plan mapped out’ by himself to avenze the deaths of Spies, Parsons, Fischer and and _ thereby elevate himself in friends. the roported in _an buildings, and without exeiting the suspicion any one but his shadow he explored every & and corner of the city hall, where he though losive would be most deadly lay he had overything in readi- ness for his diabolical plot, ind set to wo to obtain chemcals with which to manufac- ture his explosive. With the dircctions he had obtained from the library he went to Fuller & Fuller's drug store and laid in & supply of ehlorate of potash oil of tar, salt- ulphur and several other ingredient @ composition of which would make an_ex- plosion more deadly in its effect than even dynamite or glycerine. He then went to the warerooms of the Hugard powder company and purchased 100 feet of fuse and thirty “fuminating caps. Inspector Bonfield had been informed of the new move on the part of the dynamiter and ordored his arrest be dn chance to make a dangerous move. Two officers wero detailed frow the Desplaines street station to effect the arrest, Bodenicck wus pointed out to them by his shudow, and when ar- rested oxhibited not the slightést surpriso, as he suid e rather suspectod something of tho kind. His room was searched and the dan- s stufl confiscated and taken to the cen- tral station.
