Progress of the World's Fair Fight In Congress.

ANOTHER OF FILIBUSTERING.

A Truce Proposed Which Is Likely to lie Accepted—It Provides for a fteduo. tlon In tho Amount to 82,500,000.

THYING TO SRTTLK.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.—The world's fair oflloials wore in private conference at Director Duvis' room throughout Tuesday evening'. At a late hour Secrotary Dickinson, of the national commission, came downstairs and said it was probable that an agreement would be reached on tho basis discussed by the committee of ten during the afternoon. This would (five tho exposition $3,M)0,000 as an out and out-gift. Mr,

Dickinson wan hopeful that the entire controversy would be wound up to-day. May Uttt a Smullor Sum.

It is expected that by mutual consent among the democrats of all factions the bill will be amended in the house today so as to muke the amount £2,300,000 and If possible 83,000,000. It will then be sent to the senate for immediate concurrence. This, In short, was the programme which the world's fair otfioials mapped out at the conference Tuesday night. For obvious reasons, however, Col. Davis and Mr. Durborow are still contending for the full gf,000,000. CoL Davis was less sanguine than Secretary Dickinson of an immediate adjustment and uaid he would greatly regret to have to acccpt anything short of the 8ft,000,000. Mr. Durborow added that he at least would oppose the report from the committee of ton favorable to S'-i,500,000. Notwithstanding tliuso latter expressions the conference settled pretty clearly that a ?2,500,000 or £3,000,000 compromise will be accepted by the world's fair men to-day if it can bo assured beyond doubt. ltntley Still Stubborn

Mr. Bailey (Tex.) says he will not agree to the 82,500,000 compromise, as it is not the amount but the principle which he opposes. "I am a party man," said Mr. Bailey, "and I might abide by the action of the party caucus or by a cloture rule, but they will have to tie mo in some such way before I submit to It. It has been shown that two can continue this filibuster indefinitely, and I am reudy to be one of the two. I think I could oarry it on alone for two weeks."

Caucus Didn't Count.

The most significant feature of the day has been the complete abandonment of the democratic caucus action of Monday night in resolving that the world's fair question was to be postponed until December 7 next. This resolution was formerly passed by a vote of 09 to 82, and yet it died a natural death and did aot live long enough to make oven an appearance before the house Tuesday Not a word was heard during the brief session of the resolution passed Tuesday night. Neither was it spoken of in any of the caucuses Tuesday. At one point an Inquiry was made as to what had become of the solemnization of the caucus Monday night, but no one could explain.

Still Filibustering.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.—Immediately after the reading of the journal and the reference of a dozen senate bills in the house filibustering began over the world's fair amendment to the sundry oivil appropriation bill. Mr. Butler (la.) moved an adjourn' meqt until Thursday, and Mr. Bailey (Tex.) movod an ajournment until Friday. Three times wore recesses taken. The conclusion of the third re oesn found not more than 100 membors in their seats, but in a few moments this number was augmented. The democrats utilized the short vacation In holding a confcrenoe in oommlttee room, but, unperturbed, the republicans attended to their correspondence or indulged in desultory conversation. The question was put on the motion to adjourn until Friday. Thta was defeated by a vote of 2 to 72, and Mr. Kilgorc (Tex.) raised the point of no quorum- A call of the house was ordered.

After the adoption of a resolution revoking all leaves of absence, the house adjourned.

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

BEEF TEA OR WHISKY.

Representative Cobb Tolls Whut He Was Drinking In the House. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. —Mr. Cobb took the stand in his own defense Tuesday before the committee investigating the Watson charges. For several days before ho made the speech in question, Mr. Cobb said, he was engaged in laborious work gathering material and preparing his argument. His throat troubled him and he had before beginning his remarks requested an employe of the house to bring him a cup of beef tea. "Surely beof tea is a mild and non-intoxicating liquid," said Mr.

Cobb, and it was a frequent thing for members to refresh themselves with it during a speech." He had called for beef tea because it was warm and soothing to the throat. From time to time he had the cup sent back and replenished in order to exchange the cold tea for hot tea, and from that circumstance he thought all the trouble had grown. It was not true, he said, as had been asserted by Mr. Watson, that ha had said to a page: "Bring me some mora whisky." "The point is this," said Mr. Cobb "no one could have heard me ask a page to bring me some whiBky, for I never said it."

Whether whisky was brought by a page and placed on his desk for the beef tea he did not know. He was too much engaged at the time in his argument to notice who placed iton hisdesk. Whether a page or a "friend" whom he had requested to get him some stimulant had brought it he was not- prepared to say. Mr. Cobb acknowledged that some whisky was brought him during the course of the evening and placed on his desk. It had been brought by a friend and he had used it only to relieve his throat. If it affected him in voice or manner he was not conscious of it. He was as sober then as now. It was true ho had drank a little boer during the day.

Mr, Watson at this point interrupted the proceedings by asking Judge Cobb how ho indicated that the beverage was out and that he wished tho cup replcn ished, to which the answer was that so far af he (Mr. Cobb) romembered he had saiu to a friend that he wanted a little whisky or some stimulant. He hardly thought, though, that his remark was loud enough to be heard any distance. Any one who said he had asked a page to get him whisky was mistaken. When tho whisky was put before him he had sipped it two or three timee, and when he concluded his remarks he took another sip, but hewas not made drunk by it, nor did his state approach intoxication.

After a sharp colloquy between Mr. Hoatuor and Mr. Watson, during which the latter, though expressing his admiration for Mr. Cobb, reiterated the statement that he believed he was intoxicated on the occasion mentioned, the committee adjourned.

A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—The discharge of Oeorgc BarteU, paying teller of the Central trust and savings' bank, and his subsequent flight with &S.OOO of the firm's cash, has unearthed a gigantic conspiracy to defraud live Chicago banks. The scheme was partly successful, and over S50.000 was secured from ltartel's former employers, but was made good by reputable men who had vouched for the Integrity and business ability of the young men who had engaged in the deal. Another bank Is said to have lost 820,000, which amount was also made good by the same security.

Plotters Arrested..-:'

Three of the men formerly connected with tho Chioago Bank Note Company have been arrested, charged with conspiracy to defraud and the issuance of fraudulent paper. These men are Willliam A. Forbes, N. W. Burnside and Charles M. Anson. George Bartcls, the fourth man who is wanted, has left the country. Charles Nichols, a co-be. tween, has made affidavit exposing the whole scheme as far as it is known to him. The plot is the most ingenious ever nipped in the financial arena of this city.

How It Was Worked.

Tho plan was simple. Forbes was manager of tho Chicago Bank Note Company: Burnside, a son of a wellknown physician, was associated with Forbes. Anson was but an employe of the firm. These young men were vouched for by Gen. Allen C. Fuller and numerous men of wealth and financial influence. They opened aocounts with the Central trust and savings bank, the Globe national bank the State bank of Chicago, the First national bank and tho Milwaukee Avenue State bank. Immediately they do posited checks, drafts, etc. which have since been found to be fraudulent, and lator drew out the cash. By collusion with Battels the great run of the paper was dumped on tho Central Trust Savings bank. The system that was developed was the work of months. The teller, in the ab sencc of the cashier, certified to all paper, and the forged drafts, checks, etc., were only deposited when the officials of tho bank were out.

The same system was played on the Globe National, it is said, although Vice President Stone was not in the city to affirm or deny tne statement. It is now learned that the plottors intended to pull all tha banks they had deposited money with into their net and then break up and clear out. However that may be, the paper oame to protost too soon to admit of more extended fraud and the ring was brought up with a round turn. The amount the Central trust and savings bank. found itnelf short was nearly 850,000.

Tb« Shortage Made Good.

The bank offlolals had taken every precaution to seoure themselves, for while they had been compelled to accept the forged paper of their customers, they were suspicious early in the game. When the end oaine Allen C. Fuller, who is reported to be worth over 810,000,000, and Dr. Burnside, his brother-in-law, both of whom had had implicit confidence in the young men, paid all the shortage and none of the banks is out one cent.

TO BE PROLONGED.

Homostead Workmen Hold a Monster Meeting and Decide to Hold Fast. IIOMESTKAD, Pa., Aug. 3.—The thirtyninth day of the strike closed Tuesday evening with both sides claiming victory. monster meeting was held In the opera house here, at which all day laborers were Induoed to be present. An important feature ef the meeting was the report of a committee which went through the mills. A committee of eight Amalgamated association men at noon callcd upon Superintendent Potter and told him of the meeting and how they would like to see if tho mill was really boing operated as was claimed by the firm. The oommlttee did not think the management would entertain thoir rcquost, but Mr.

Potter ohcerfully agreed to take four members through the mill, and he did. The committee reported that the firm had a large number of men working and a few experienced rollers who turned out two or three plates a day. The great number of meu, however, were unskilled and 'useless. The committee found no cause for discouragement. The report was really a surprise to the men, who would not acccpt press statements. The Amalgamated officials rallied them immediately, howover, and the meeting adjourned with a unanimous sentiment in favor of prolonging the struggle-

DIED BY WHIR.

DANNEMOKA, N. Y., Aug. S.—Murderer .Joseph Woods was executed in the state prison here Tuesday. Tho death warrant was read at 10:50 and

Ills L.ast Word*.

"I want to thank Warden Thaj-or for Ilia Ftrnnt kindness to me. Also my keepers. My time on enrtli Is not long enough to return my thanks to Judge Whitman tor his nolilu eflorts. He has been nearer than a brother to me. ml I hope ho will ltvo along life and lite happy In the Lord."

Tho religious feeling of the doomed man found expression in these words: "I pray that God will now give me the strength of two men to go to meet lliin, for 1 know 1 am going there. God bless you all. May He make you all happy." Ills last words were: "God bless me."

The Current Turned On.

The signal was given by Keeper Welts, of Auburn prison. As the eontact came Woods' body straightened out rig1dl3' and the hands turned upward on the arms of the chair. Twelve seconds was the duration of the first contact. The second contact was two seoonds shorter, and as It reached full power a curl of blue smoke aroso from the murderor's forehead and an odor of burned rubber filled the room. This was repeatod in the third and fourth contacts of six' seconds each. Each time Woods' body straightened out. This was followed by a relaxation as the current was shut off. Woods was in the choir just one minute and fourseconds. The body was delivered to

Woods' wife.

His Crime.

Wood was convicted of murili'rlnc his father-in-law, Loandcr l'asoo. a farmer of Warren county, May 10, IKK). The defendant pleaded not guilty, alleging temporary, insanity The successive courts atfUulgrd him BUllty and CIov. Flower refused to interfere. On March 2, previous to thi crime, Wood had secretly marrlotl Pasco's daughter. Immediately after the inarrint-'e they scparutod, oach returning to their own homo. Pasco, who was very severe with his children, was displeased with the marriniio and would not recognize Wood. About a month later Wood told a neighbor that Pasc who was then living with hU housekeeper, "ought to he put out of the way so the children oeuld have the property." After Wood and his wlfo went to live together they were subtected to some petty annoyances which thov obarged to Pasco. Wood sought to got a warrant out for his arrest, but tflng denied uttered more threats. About threeweeks later Pasco was murdered by two gun shot wounds. It wus satisfactorily proved that Wood had laid in ambush for his father-in-law

AFTER THE PINKERTONS.

The Sonate Appoints a Committee to In ventlgate the Workings or tho Organlxutloa.

WASHINGTON, AUJ. 3.—The senate on Tuesday adopted, without division tho resolution reportud from the com mittee on education and labor providing for the appointment of a select committee of seven senators to in vestigate and report tho facts in relation to tho employment, for private purposes, of armed bodies of meu or dotectives In connection with differences between workmen and employers the reasons for the creation of such organized bodies of armed men their character and uses where, when how and by whom they have bi-ui em ployed and paid, and under whut au tliority.

Senator Sherman (O.) said that the principal question raised as to whether any man or corporation might employ armed men was an important one. He doubted whether any corporation had right to hire such persons.

Senator Palmer (111.) favored tho proposed investigation, saying that the importance of it could not be over ztutod. The country would be startled at the amount of Information that would be collected as to the extent to which such dangerous semi-political and semi-military organizations, re' sponsible neither to God nor man, were employed. Thoy ought to bo hunted down as "enomies of mankind."

Senator Vest (Mo.) alse favored the proposed investigation, and said that the Pinkerton foroe had ceased to he detective bureau and was now a stand ing army. He described the foray and raid made by the Pinkerton force into Missouri when the homestead of the James brothers was surrounded, and when, in the most cruel and cowardly manner, hand grenades were thrown into the house where women and children were sleeping.

Tho subcommittee of the house judiciary committee are hopelessly divided on the subject of the Pinkerton investigation, and have decided to leave the matter to the full committee to say whether there shall be a report or not, and if one, tho nature of it. The eommittoe could not agree on the report submitted by Representative Oates.
