WASiimoTdW July 30 It is' now'
given put that the republicans of the
finance committee will report -their
tariff bill in about ten days. Tins is a
longer time in the 'reparation of the
measure than it was at first supposed
would be required but now it is con
ceded that the bill can ndt be presented
sooner as the changes from
the Mills bill arts radical and
numerous. The reports given out as
to the provisions of the bill are contra-
dictory but they arc mainly as given
in previous special dispatches. When
the bi)fr is repotted it will be'-at once
taken lip and considered from day to
.day .till Some conclusion is reached.
Some persons who have kept watch of
the subject estimate that there is a
possibility of the senate passing the
house bill by the aid of democratic
protectionists and republicans. This
however; is not.likely to happen. That
a tariff bill of some kind will pass the
senate isconceded but it will follow
closely the protection lines.
The President hns intimated that un-
less a tariff bill is passed at this session
he will call art extra session before the
campaign opens.
' Samuel Schatz P. Hagan Z. 1
White and Joseph Schatz all of El
Paso are here endeavoring to procure
a concession for-building a large bridge
across the Rloprande in the interest
of the Santa Fe Street Railway Com-
pany. This company was recently
formed and they propose to run their
cars over the border if congress will
give them permission to do so. The
chances for securing favorable action
on such a scheme at "this late stage Of
th'e session are very remote and the
best thing they can hope for is a favor-
able report from the committee and
even this is doubtful They will have
the satisfaction however pf getting ac-
quainted with the members of the com-
mittee and of placing the subject be-
fore them properly which will be gain-
ing one point in any event. This is a
bad time to attempt any private legis-
lation. The tariff overshadows every-
thing and the near approach of the
campaign warns the members that
they must hurry home as fast as their
duties' here wil permit.
Chairman olman-f the commit-
tee on public lands to-day introduced
in the house a bill to set apart a tract
of land in New Mexico adjoining .the
Cochita Indian reservation on account
of its archaeological remains.

The house committee on manufac-
turers to-day submitted a report con-
cerning the" trusts investigation which
was ordered printed. The committee
in taking testimony proceeded upon
the following plan of investigation i..e.
to require: First with relation to trusts
and combinations in. lineg pf business
which are connected with or use' arti-
cles in which there exists competition
f in our markets between domestic pro
duct and foreign product imported'
dutiable under our tariff laws; second
with relation to such combinations
dealing in articles which are not im-
ported into this country or are not
subject to import ditties; third with re?
latidn to such combinations dealing in
articles which are subject to taxation
Winder the internal revenue laws of the
United States.
'fhe committee particularly directed

tent of the. business done or controlled
by the sugar trust and standard oil

The bill . introduced by- Senator
Blair to-day at the request pf thefeder
ation of labor to amend the law prohi-
biting the importation of forcigncrsiin-
der contract makes anilmberofminor
changes inthe phraseology of the law
as well as one or two changes of a(
somewhat important character. The'
first section which made it unlawful
tp assist "the importation of foreigners'
in this country under an agreement
contract to. perform labor is amended
by making the paragraph readi "The
importation of1 any alien or foreign la-
borer mechanic artist or artisian tin?
der agreement to perform labor."
Another amendment does away the
provisions authorizing the secretary of
the'treasury to enter into a contract
with r the state commissions to take
cjiarge of the execution of. the provis-
ions of the act within the boundaries
of their respective states and designates
collectors of customs at .the various
ports of the United States as the per-
sons upon whom shall devolve the du-
ties heretofore authorized to be in-
trusted to the state commissions..
Representative Clardy of Missouri to-
day introduced in the house p. bill to
amend thc interstate commerce act so
as to prevent discriminations in favor1
of owners of tank cars and to allow
fines' imposed to be paid over to the
prosecuting" citizens. ' .
. Representative Abbott of Texas to-
day introduced into the house a joint
resolution authorizing the several exe-
cutive departments of the government
to loan to Texas State Fair and Expo-
sition certain articles for the exhibition.
Washington July 31. Congress-
man Mills was in the house to-day for
the first time since his departure for
the Georgia Chautauqua He said he
was entertained royally while in Atlanta
and that the trip was a pleasant one
in every respect. He went over the
historical battlefields around Atlanta
and was serenaded at the Kimball
house by the young men's democratic
club. Mr Mills said also that while
the people of Georgia were interested
'irrthe( tariff question there wills' very.
'little'sentimeht in favor of protection.
Mr. Gluilberspn has secured the pas-
sage of an act that provides whenever
the circuit and district courts of the
United States shall be held at the same
time and place they shall be authorized
and required to use interchangably the
juries in either court drawn according
to law. This act wiy prove a very sig

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
ThtMttt Who Bold tha Dynamlta Amited.
Cmcaoo July 35. The drag net of
the law enmesjied to-day another of
the aparchists who sought revenge up-
on the representatives of the4' l.iw in
the persons of Bonfield Gary and
Grinnell. A gunsmith named Rudelulv

morning and is riow behind the prison
uars under bond of $7000. He is
charged with being the individual who
furnished 'dynamite to the conspirators
who intended to assassinate the three
jaw officers most prominent in the
Haymarket.prosecution.
Sebic acknowledged that he ' had
been illegally dealing in dynamite and
that he sold over fifty pounds of the
cxplosivcito various persons within a
a year. ; He will only admit' hav-
ing sold tdn pounds to Chicagoans;
and asserts that he cannot remember
who they were. Inspector Bon-
field says he" has proof that the ten
pounds?!? not more went to- Hronek
Chapek and Chlebbun. It is definife;
ly known that Sebic bought oh May
29 from the American Powder Com-
jany in Chicago twenty-five pounds
of dynamite.
It is ten pounds of this purchase
that has been traced to the recently
arrested trio of assassins. Sebic
claims ten pounds of the twenty-five
went to a farmer in Nebraska. On
the 3rd day. ofjune he purchased
twenty-five pounds more which he
claims 'to have sold to a farmer in
Minnesota but is unable to give his
his name or locate him. Inspector
Bonfield is postive. that Sebic was . in
league with the three dynamiters ar-
rested a few days since and sold them
the explosive with which they expect-
ed to destroy Judges ' Grinnell and
Gary.
Sebic is i Bohemian 28 years of
age and of intelligent appeajance. He
understands but little Enclish. In
spector Bonfield also captured several
infernal machines. I hey are of
zinc four and a half or five inches in
height of cylinder shape two inches
in diameter. Inside of these cylinders
are others of equal height about an
an ihch in diameter. These inside
cylinders are filled with dynamite and
between them and the outside-
covering the-pr'ce is filled full of cut
glass;;ieadI6gVand broken ironi In
the tops-tOf'the inside cylinders fulmin-
ating' caps are placed with fuses ' at-
tached.. Inspector Bonfield will not-
say whether or not these machines
Were found in Sebic's. house.
Sebic's arrest was kept a secret un-
til the. moment when he was arraigned
in court this morning; meantime he
had been subjected to a vigorous
pumping process by Inspector Bon-
field. 'I'lie proceedings in court oc-i
cupietl but a few minutes and consist-
ed of simply putting the case on rec-
ord and fixing a' bond heavy enough
tb hold .the gunsmilh and continuing
further proceedings for a week. The
grand jury already impaneled to take
up the case of Sebic's alleged con
spirators-will long bcrofe.that time it
is expected have formally indicted all
concerned in the diabolical plot.
The police say that the discovery
of the bombs which are dbubtless the'
product of Sebic's handiwork; is an
important link in the chain of evidence
against Hropek Chapek and Chle-
boun. TJie bombs were the invention
of Hronek and 4their manufacture rl5y
a practical gunsmith goes far to show
a deep-laid conspiracy'. It is' thought
by the police that many more of the
bomhs are iq ekisJtance as there is no
other probable theory to explain the
use of the large quantity' of dynamte
