VOL. VIII. RIVERS AND HARBORS. Passage of the Appropriation Bill by the House Por Their Im provement. fifteen Million Dollars to be Expended on the Waterways of the Country. Report of the Minority of the Ju diciary Committee on Woman Suffrage. Consideration of the Interstate Bill by the Senate — Washington Waifs. Bier Appropriations. Special to the Globe. Washington-, May G. — The river and harbor bill passed the house this afternoon by forty-one majority, after a struggle through several weeks. The contest has been earnest and persistent from the be ginning, in respect to certain features of the bill, and the leading men among the Democrats deprecated the extravagant no tions of the committee. It was hoped it might be possible to cut down the aggre gate 52,000,000, or at least reduce it to $10,000,000, but the appropriations had been distributed judiciously for the purpose of giving the committee ample support and the combination was safely led to the end by Mr. Willis of Kentucky, the liberal-minded gentleman, wiio is the ardent champion of the $77,000,000 education bill. The aggregate of appropriations recommended by the river and harbor committees was not materially increased, but it is expected that the senate will add from $3,000,000 to 85,000.000 in which eveut a veto is not improbable if any reliance is to be placed in the predictions of certain Democratic leaders or the president MAY APPROVE TIIE BILK. and order the expenditure of only such parts of the amonnt as he may deem neces sary. Among the important points of at tack on the bill were the items relating to the control of the appropriations for the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and the ap plication to be made of the money appro priated for the improvement of the Missis sippi, between Cairo and the head of the passes. Holman of Indiana, Hepburn of lowa and others insisted, as they have done in former congresses, that as the work on the lower Mississippi is experimental, the money should be used to try the experiment at two points only, namely: Piumb Point and Lake Providence beach, instead of dredging and levee building for hundreds of miles along the course of the river. To-day the decisive vote resulted in the adoption of the policy of concentration of the effort at improvement of that wayward steam as proposed by Mr. Holman. Mr. Hepburn was also successful in SECURING A MAJORITY in favor of taking the control of the im provement of the Mississippi aud Missouri out of tiie hands of the respective commis sions appointed for that purpose, aud placing the works under the immediate direction of the war department. The representatives from the lower Mississippi valley console themselves with the belief that the senate will restore the two commissions and disagree to the Holman amendment. The affirmation vote on the passage of the bill consisted ot fifty-five from liepublicans and eighty-eight from Democrats. The negative vote was east by forty-four Democrats and fifty-eight .Republicans. The river and harbor bill as it passed appropriates about $15,000,000. The changes made iv the house since tiie bill came from the committee, in items of appropriation, are but slight, probably not amounting to one hundred thousand dollars either way. ROUTINE REPORT. Washington, May 6. — It the house to day Mr. Tucker, Ya., reported adversely a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment providing for female suffrage. Reports were also submitted appropriating 530, 000 for the survey of a water route to connect the waters of the Detroit river with Lake Michigan; authorizing the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad company to operate a railroad through the Indian Territory: adversely to equalize the right ;of fishing in the navigable waters of the . United States. An attempt was then made to call up the bill to create the department of agriculture and labor, but it was unsuc cessful owing to dilatory motions, and the morning hour having expired the house went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill. Mr. Everhart of Pennsylvania and Mr. Stone of Missouri opposed the bill. The com mittee then rose and reported the bill to the house. The only amendment reported from the committee upon which a separate vote was demanded was that di recting the secretary of war to negotiate for the purchase of the works of the Mon ongahela Navigation company. It was agreed to, 124 to 42. Under the arrange ment made in the committee Mr. Holman of Indiana offered an amendment providing that the money appropriated for the im provement of the lower Mississippi, except such as is required to protect the WORKS ALREADY IN PROGRESS, shall be expended in the continuance and completion of the works on Plum Point and Lake Providence reaches. Agreed to, yeas 132, nays 113. Mr. Hepburn of lowa moved to strike out the appropriation for Galveston harbor. Lost. Mr. Hepburn moved to amend by providing that the ap propriation for the lower Mississippi shall be expended under the direction of the sec j retary of war, without the intervention of i the Mississippi river commission. Agreed t to, yeas 126, nays 107. Mr. Hepburn also i offered an amendment providing that the Improvement of the Mississippi river, from ! Us mouth to Sioux City, shall be conducted I without the intervention of the Mississippi \ river convention. Agreed to. 76 to 71.

Mr. Holman, of Indiana, moved to recommit the bill with instruc tions to the committee on rivers and har bors to report back a measure appropriating JS. 000, 000 for the improvement of rivers and harbors, to be, expended by the secre tary of war, subject to the approval of the president; rejected; yeas, 85; nays, 157.

Washington, May 6. — The minority of the house judiciary committee, in reporting adversely upon the proposed woman suff rage amendment to the constitution, sub mits but a formal report recommending that the proposition lie upon the table. The minority report, which is signed by Messrs. Eb Ta.vlor, Hepburn, Caswell and Itanney, comments upon this fact, but says: The importance of the question of woman suffrage is forcing its full discussion every where, and the silence of the committee will have no tendency to withdraw it from public attention. "In a government by the people," continues the minority, "the ballot is at once a badge of sovereignty, and the means of ex ercising power. Women are people, and we submit that they are neither morally or in tellectually incapable, and that no necessity for their disfranehisoment can be suggested. On the contrary, wo believe t hat they are en titled to immediate and absolute enfranchise ment: First— Because their own good demands it. Give woman the ballot and she will have ad ditional means and inducements for a broader and better education, including a knowledge of affairs, which she will not fail to avail her self of to the uttermost, and which will add to her means of protection for her person and estate. The history of woman is for the most part a history of wrong and outrage. Created the equal companion of man, she early be came his slave, and still is in many parts of the world. In many so-called Christian por tions of Europe she is to-day YOKED WITH BKASTS and is doing the labor of beasts, while her son and husband are serving 1 in the army, pro tecting: the divine right of kings and men to slay and destroy. Man has not been con sciously unjust to woman in the past, nor is he now, but he believes that she is in her true sphere, not realizing that he has fixed her sphere and not God, as he imagines. If the unspeakable Turk should be solicited to open the doors of his harem and let the inmates become free and human, ho would be indignant doubtless and would swear by the beard of the prophet that he never would so degrade lovely woman, who in her sphere was intended as the solace of glorious, superior men. Yet as man ad vances, woman is elevatad and her elevation iv turn advances him. No Liberty ever {riven her has been lost or abused or regretted. Where most has been given her, she has be come best. Liberty never degrades, slavery always does. Second — Woman's vote is necessary for the g-ood of others. She is the enemy of foreign war or domestic turmoil. She is the friend of peace and home. Her influence for good in many directions would bo multiplied if she possessed the ballot. She desires the homes of the land to be pure and sober. With her help they may become so; without her, what is the prospect in this regard'/ Under the wise and sole administration of man, well may the cry go out: "Watchman, tell us of the night — what it 3 signs of promise are." We do not invite woman to the dirty pool of poli tics, nor does she intend to enter that pool. Politics is not necessarily uncleau. If it is unclean she is not chargeable WXXH THE GREAT CRIME, for crime it is. Politics must be purified or we are lost. To govern this great nation wisely and well is not degrading- service. To do it, all the wisdom, ability aud patriotism of all people is required. No great moral force should be unemployed. But it is some times said that women do not desire the bal lot. Some may not — nay, many do not, per haps a majority, but such indifference can not affect the right of those who are not ju difl'erent. The conservative woman, who feels that her present duties are as burden some as she can boar, when she realizes what she can accomplish for her country and for mankind by the ballot, will as reverently thank God for the opportunity and will as zealously discharge her new obligations as will her more radical sister, who has long and wearily labored and fervently prayed for the coming of the day of equal rights, duties and hopes. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. The Bill Under Consideration j n the Senate. Washington, May 6.— After the trans action of some routine business in the sen ate this morning, Mr. Cullora called up ihe interstate commerce bill, winch it had been agreed should be considered during the morning hour. During the debate which followed a great number of amend ments were submitted and ordered to be printed, among them the following: Providing that whenever any common car rier shall violate, or refuse to obey, any re quirement of the railroad commission to apply to the United States circuit court for a hearing on short notice in the matter com plained of, without the formal pleading and pleadings necessary in ordinary equity suits. The amendment further authorized the court if it find the company guilty of dis obedience to cause it to forfeit a stun not to exceed SSOO a day after a day to be named by the court. Mr. Edmunds explained the object of his amendment to be to make it impossible for railroad companies to tie up complaints against them by legal proceed ings and delays. This amendment is now the pending amendment. An amendment submitted by Mr. Morgan relates to con spiracy. It provides that if two or more persons with intent to prevent the MOVEMENT OF ANY LOCOMOTIVE, car, or train used or about to be used for carrying passengers from one state to another, or to or from any territory, or to or from a foreign country, or to or from any Indian tribe shall conspire together, or agree together, or unite with a common intent unlawfully to obstruct or prevent the movement of such locomotive, car or train, or the loading or unloading of any such car etc.. or to put in peril the personal security of any officer or employe of any railroad company, shall be guilty of conspiracy, and on convictiou shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than six months or by a fine of not more than $500, or both, as the court shall direct. Mr. Miller from the committee on educa tion and labor, reported favorably a bill applying to letter carriers, the provision of section 3738 of the revised statutes, making eight hours a days work. It was unanim ously agreed that a vote should be taken on the state commerce bill before adjourn ment on Tuesday next. The senate then went into executive sesssion and w hen the doors were reopened, adjourned until Monday. ST. PAUL, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 188 a THE DYNAMITE FIENDS Pen Pictures of the Quartet of Friends "Whose Utterances Caused the Anarchist Outrage. The Careers of Spies, Schwab, Parsons and f ielden, Who Have Been Indicted for "^urder. Another Walkout of Switchmen Ties Up the Freight Business of Several Roads. Combination of Capitalist Metal Workers Against their Employes --Other Xews. The Dynamite Demons. Special to the Globe. Chicago, May 6,— The anarchists Spies, Fielden, and Schwab, who have been held to the grand jury for murder, were loaded into a patrol wagon about ten o'clock this morning and taken to the armory with a strong guard of police. They were taken upstairs where they were photographed and were then loaded into the wagon again and taken to the central station. August Spies was born in Hesse, Germany, in 1850, and came out when 38 years of age, start ing a Socialist paper six years later. H8 is the editor and presumptive proprietor of the Arbelter-Zeitung, or labor journal, as the anarchist handbill is misnamed. The discovery of dynamite in the office ap peared to surprise Spies, who denied any knowledge of it, and pretended to think that the police put it there themselves. He also deprecated, while in his cell, charged with murder, the throwing of the bomb, as "ill-timed and outrageous." The speech which he bad delivered JUST BEFOUE TUE FIEXDISII ACT he declared to have been the most temper ate he made. When Spies first came to this city in 1877 or '78, he obtained em ployment with H. Sanders, an umbrella maker, at 98 per week. Mr. Sanders says he worked faithfully at the trade; was in his employ live years, and was finally paid §15 per week. By this time Spies became dissatislied and determined to start out for himself. As he was smart and energetic he managed to get control of the paper, with which his name has since been connected. His former employer says that, although the man while with him was faithful and competent, he had a mania for notoriety, and always wanted to have his name mentioned in con nection with any matter of neighborhood interest. The field the anarchist has been cultivating has evidently produced more of the notoriety harvest than he dreamed of when sowing the seed. Sam Fielden. the English member of the trio, is three years older than Spies. He was HORN IN LANCASHIRE and is a mill hand by occupation when he consents to work with his hands. He claims to have preached Mrthodism and to have been converted to materialism and so cialism . five years since. His connection with every organization to which he has belonged has been a "prominent" one, to credit him. " Another of the anarchists un der arrest is Michael Schwab is a German bookbinder. who caino to Chicago from Milwaukee six years ago, and got a job in the Arbeiter Zeittrag office. He held the posi tion of telegraph translator, and in addi tion wrote an occasional editorial on some minor subject. A. R. Parsons, the uncap tured American riot inciter, is the son of the ; famous Confederate general, W. H. Parsons. He is well kuown in Pittsburg and Houston. In the former city he is quoted as saying last January, when asked by a reporter if it was true that a quantity of bombs had been discovered in the office of the Alarm in Chicago: ': Certainly it is time. Wo do not pretend to make a secret of the manufacture of these bombs to be employed by anarchists every where, upon emergency. I have two flue specimens with me in the inside pocket of my coat. These bombs are largely manufac tured right here in Pittsburg and nearly every Sunday when the weather permits platoons of the local anarchists go out into the surrounding country and practice the throwing of these bombs." SWITCHMEN WALK OUT. Freight Business Abandoned on Several Chicago Itoads. Chicago, May 9.— Just as the officials of all the railroads coming in over the Chi cago & Western Indiana tracks which in clude the Wabash, the Grand Trunk, the Chicago & Atlantic and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, had concluded that they would try and open up freight traffic in the regular way, they were confronted with a strike that makes them all hesitate about receiving any freight whatever. The switch tenders for the Western Indiana road at Forty-first street and at Grand Cressing quit work this afternoon and vir tually blocked traffic on all these roads. Passenger trains and especially mail trains were allowed to pass but freights stood no show. The men at Forty-first street number about eighteen. They say they receive but $45 per . month for twelve hours' work per day. On Monday they asked that wages be raised to §55 per month, and their demands being refused to-day, they struck and refused to let en gines out on the road or get into the round house, or to pull out any cars. A North western engine with four cars waited on the north arm of the stock yards "V" for hours in a vain hope that somebody would throw a switch, but nobody did so and the engine was compelled to back into the yards. The big switch gates at Fortieth street were thrown ACROSS THE MAIN TRACKS at noon and kept closed for hours, but were finally opened to let a suburban train pass through. Then the gates were unhinged and thrown on the ground by order of the officials. The train, however, met with a "Wabash engine on thertracks at Forty-first street coming in an opposite direction. No body could throw the switch, and the Wabash engineer declined for a considera ble time to back down to Forty-ninth street. A crowd of several hundred stood by and cheered. Later in the afternoon the Wabash road sent out eight special police men; and they went south with an engine to liberate one of their locomotives. The strikers did not molest them, and General Manager Lyford of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois threw several switches personally in an attempt to eet out a freight train that had been ; abandoned. The engineers and firemen seemed to be in sympathy with the strikers and refused to pull trains until well satisfied that the persons throwing switches for them - understood their business. The town of Lake police were repre sented by three or four officers, who, however, took no action of any kind. GOTHAM ANARCHISTS. The Ruffians Drilled in the I so of ■ "• ■ Y;-,Y- ,vV; -'i Dynamite. New York, May 6.— Among the labor ing' men in the city there appears to be but one opinion as to the rioting and bloodshed in Chicago, and that is emphatic condemna tion of the action of the anarchist leaders. The anarchists are not strong in the vicinity of New York. There are about eight groups of them in this neighborhood and altogether they number but few more than 1,000. ., Six of the groups are in New York city, one on Jersey City heights and one in Newark. They have a rifle corps, con sisting of three companies, which meets for drill about once a week, The anarchists are not united now, John Most and Justus Schwab leading the two factions. These factions now hate each other worse than they do the common enemy. With these people the honest workmen HAVE NO SYMPATHY. The police know their places of meeting, and keep a sharp watch on them. An an archist who is a member of - C^xoup No. 2, said: "I don't know that the public has any right to know what our real strength is. We are stronger and better organized than people have any idea of. We have a college in New Jersey, where the members are taught how to use dynamite and Greek fire. We have rifle corps organized, not to provoke a tight, but to be able to cope suc cessfully with the police and malitia when the struggle, which is bound to come, is on. us. The Chicago tight is simply the first gun of tha revolution. Our brothers there did nobly, but they were not as well pre pared as they might have been, or more of the blue-coats would have got their last dose. Our motto is 'Neither God nor Mas ter,' and our doctrines may be simply stated as 'Down with church, state, capital. Knights of Labor, and other kindred vil lainies.'" TIIS-: SITUATION ELSEWHERE. Some Detroit Strikers Return to Work While Other Men Quit. Detroit, Mich., May 6.— The strikers in this city are still quiet, but determined. Several factories where the nieu had no grievance resumed work during the absence of the over-awing htrikers. Two hundred employes at Murphy's chair factory, 100 at the Detroit Carriage Woodwork company's shops, and eighty coopers resumed work. On the other hand, between 400 and 500 painters struck this morning for nine hours' work a day and ten hours' pay. Only 100 of the 675 employes of the Pullman" car works returned to work this morning, and they worked only a few minutes, the com pany sending them home. The men strongly favor nine hours. It was reported that a Gatling gun had been sent from Lansing, but the report is denied. FOKCED TO SHUT DOWX. Muskegox, Mich., May 6. — The Mus kegon Shingle & Lumber company's mill, the largest on the lake, shut down this morning owing to the blockade by the Chi cago strike. The mill has been running day and night, employing ISO men and cut ting 1,000,000 shingles a day, and has 0,000,000 piled on the dock. There have been no shipments for a week, and the mill will not start until the strike ends. UEFUSED TUE TEHMS. New York, May 6.— The situation in the strike of the Third avenue railroad em ployes is unchanged. The strikers did not return to work tins morning, because they were not satisfied with the terms proposed by the company. Everything is quiet around the depot, and the cars are stili guarded by the police. FREIGHT HA.NDLF.KS GO BACK. Cincinnati. May G, — The strike of the freight handlers is at an end. The men went to work this morning in the Cincin nati Southern, the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis &, Chicago, Ohio & Mississippi and Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore freight yards, and the others resumed this afternoon. The exact terms are not made known, but it is generally understood that the men have an advance of from 15 to 25 cents per day. This is recognized as banishing all danger of disorder, and peace ful settlements with the other strikers are expected to follow soon. COAL MINERS QUIET. Pittsburg, Pa., May 6.— One thousand coal miners employed in mines along the Panhandle railroad struck this morning. The strikers want the Columbus scale and semi-monthly pay days. They also refuse to load coal for the Eastern markets until the strike in the Third district is settled. At liend's mines 400 men are out for an advance. Mr. liend refuses to concede the increase because all differences were re cently settled by arbitration. Seventy-five negroes are still working, and others will be imported if the old men do not return to work. The strikers threaten to mob the negroes if they take viieir places. DECIDED NOT TO STRIKE. Cleveland. May 6. — Delegates repre senting 1,200 coal miners of the Mahoning valley met at Youngstown, Ohio, to-day to consider the refusal of the operators to grant their demand for an increase of 10 cents per ton in the price of mining. The convention decided not to strike for the present, and it is probable the differences will be sub mitted to arbitration. j A WOUNDED SOCIALIST. Capture of a Russian Shot Through the Leer. Chicago, May 6. — Capt. O'Donnell of the Twelfth street station, was informed to-day in a quiet way that a wounded so cialist was concealed at No. 10 Fisk street. The captain and a patrol wasron loaded with officers were driven to the place to make an investigation, and Joseph Michal ski was found. He was in bed when ar rested, and had an ugly wound in the right lee below the knee, the buillet having passed through from the left side of the leg. The wound was in a rather unhealthy condition, and was undoubtedly made by a 38-calibre ball. The man was sleeping with a revolver under his head. He said he was a Russian Pole and had been in America since September. Tuesday even ing he went with a friend to the meeting on Desplaines street and received the wound in the fracas that occurred. The object of his going to the meeting, he claimed, was to learn the English language. After being shot, he was driven to his boarding house in a carriage. When asked who employed the carriage, he said that be did not know the man's name. They were both badly wounded, a ball having entered his companion's face close to the nose and passing out below the ear, Michalski when in the old country was a telegraph operator. He says he came to this country because he could get better wages. His alleged reason for having the revolver un der his pillow was that he had been told that America was a very dangerous coun try. He was taken to the Cook county hospital. ANOTHER OFFICER DEAD. Officer George Miller, wounded during the hay-market encounter between the an archists and the police, died at 10:50 p. m. to-night in the county hospital. This is the third death among the police, Deagan and Barrett, the latter of whom died at 11:30 this forenoon, being the other two. CAPITAL. COMBINES. Chicago ITletal Manufacturers Form an Organization. Chicago, May 6.— The metal manufac turers of the city to the number of 100 held a meeting to-day and perfected an organi zation. About every manufacturer in the city signed the constitution, pledging him self to stand by his brethren whatever be falls capital or labor employed in the foundry and machinery business. The ex ecutive committee is not as yet announced, but has R. T. Crane as chairman. It was resolved to shut down Saturday night for thirty days. Any inanufactufacturer, how ever, who arranges with his men for ten hours work and ten . hours' pay, which is the common ground taken by the association, may run as he pleases, but no manufacturer in the associ ation will continue to run or open up on any other terms. There are a few firms still outstanding and these will be got into the organization before its existence/is of ficially announced. Firms will help out others on contracts, if necessary, and in every way seek to preserve the policy which the manufacturers believe themselves forced to adopt. ■ CHICAGO SERENE. All Departments of Business Ran* ning at* Usual. . Special to the Globe. Chicago, May 6. — Outside the city an j impression prevails that Chicago is in a state of seige; that the railways are not in operation to carry passengers in and out of the city; that the streets and avenues are barricaded; that an outsider is liable to ar rest as soon as he steps' off Continued am B-'aurtn.

Further Facts Concerning a Feral* nine Prisoner Who is Charged With Wholesale Murder. The President's marriage. Special to the Globe. Buffalo, N. T., May — The morn ing Times has received the follow Wash* ington special: Reports of President Cleveland's marrlags have thus far not been confirmed by anyon* in the White House, but the Times' corres* pondent was able to obtain, yesterday, a prac tical admission from the president that th« reports were true. Mr. Cleveland said, "I da not concede the right of newspapers to inquira into my private airs.and before this I would, have requested them to cease printing all the gossip had it not been for the fact that such a request would have been con sidered merely in tho negative. The news papers, as a rule, have not treated me fairly, and I believe that the mere mention of a desire on my part to have nothing: SAID ABOUT MISS FOLSOJI would only incite the reporters to outdo their previous efforts." "Then you are going to be married?" "I will not make any statement about that/* In the course of further conversation th« president refused to deny the reports of hi* marriage, and practically admitted that the reports were true. He said in effect that an arrangement had been made by which nothing would be said about the engagement until a time which had been decided upon by the par* ties directly interested. 4The impression given was that the president would like to confirm the report, but that through feelings of deli, cacy he did not feel that he was at liberty ta talk about it. Buffalo men who are in- Wash ington are unanimous in saying that the pres* ident's wedding will take place in June, and most of them believe that the wedding will TAKE PLACE IN BUFFALO. It is conceded that Miss Folsom wants to ba married in the White house, but Mr. Cleve land's wishes will be consulted, and he if known to be averse to display of any kind oa such an occasion. He regards a marriage al a matter which concerns only the contract* ing parties, and something that the publiO generally should not bother about. In talk" ing about the marriage of friends of his, h« always deprecated the display and has re« quently said that, if he got married, whic* then was considered an improbability, h< would prefer to have the ceremony pep* formed quietly.
