(Jive Washington. June 20.—Senator Knox delivered a powerful argument In favor of the lock plan for the Panama canal In the Senate and probably made several converts from among those who have hitherto favored tlie sea level project or who have been undecided. Mr. Knox's argument was clear' cut and convincing. and at one point was even dramatic.14—How many pien would you set to work in a section-of a gaseous mine passing l.liaO.OOO cubic feet of air per hour, and discharging 1,500 cubic feet of explosive gas per n/.i-utc?your reasons in full Digiore was sworn and told the story of tlie method taken by Conzocoro and Ginccomo to Wring money from him. He said he formerly boarded with Conzocoro, In Browntown, and the latter was always friendly with him until lately, when he kept demanding money. In addition to verbal demands, Digiore received "Black Hand" letters threatening him with death and hearing a hand clasping a dagger. He then related the capture of the two men. Chief Loftus was sworn and related the story of the capture, which was printed yesterday." extortion The agricultural appropriation hill wns tlifii sent to the Semite with a request for a conference. According to a promise given to Count vTitte, the correspondent is unable to cable a direct interview with him. but can give a brief review of the situation in Russia an looked 011 from Count Witte's point of view. At tlio close of the civil wnr Mrs. Stenton, then tlio wife of a prominent clergyman, h lender of society, a friend of Commodore Vanderbllt and of genernls of tlie armies of both north and south, attracted considerable attention by her poetical and her (filler writings. The panic of 1873 swept away her wealth, and it had been supposed that she had lived In poverty ever since. Now she faces the police, one moment the very Incarnntion of energy and shrewdness and the next the apparent victim of physical incapacity. There was some disagreement over tlie selection of the minority members of tlie conference. The speaker first named Messrs. Wadswoith (N. Y.t, Scott (Kan.j and I.ever (S. C.) as conferees, but withdrew them upon a protest by Mr. Williams. the minority leader, who objected to pausing over Messrs. Lamb (Ya.) nnd Bowie (Ala.). Subsequently the conferees were named, being Wadsworth, Scott and I.amb. 15—What should be the readings of the water Kautfe for velocities of "J70 and 64 0 feet per minute?

Kefertlng to Senator Klttredge's statement that the Gatun dam, the keystone of the lock canal, would have to be constructed on a mud foundation, the Senator from Pennsylvania said that the Senate need not take the word of experts",-need not act on tlie judgment of the engineers, but could determine for itself the kind of foundation on which tills dam would /est, and as he linlshed his sentence he struck his desk with a rock cylinder, which, he explained, was the core extracted at the site of the proposed dam by a diamond drill. Mr. Knox exhibited 110 similar specimens, all properly labelled, and after he had finished Ills remarks Senators who gathered around him to extend congratulations on his forcible speech, examined the various cores and listened to Mr. Knox's ex- It Is generally known that Count Wittc is favorable to the progressive development of Russian institutions while maintaining order. Therefore he cannot approve of the action of the lower house of parliament, which, according to the count, Is doing its utmost to develop into a revolutionary body and not only delays the reforms which it advocates, but contributes to create and maintain a state of chaos, resulting from the conflict between the legislative and executive branches of the government. Russia needs peace, order and confidence in the men who desire to heal her wounds. Instead of this the revolutionists, under the pretext of patriotism, are serving the interests of the foreign enemies of their country by transforming Russia into the powder magazine of Kuropo.

Mr. Wadswortli. chairman of the committee on agriculture, Immediately on the convening of the house reported the agricultural appropriation bill with the compromise amendment relating to meat inspection. When the prisoners were asked if they had anything to say, Conzocoro, who was very ill at ease, denied the charges brought against him. Ginccomo, who is a much older man than his companion, maintained an indifferent attitude, but «ave his version of the story when asked. He said that Digiore had promised to pay Conzocoro $2ti. which a friend of Digiore had borrowed from Conzocoro and failed to return. It was to collect this money, Ginccomo said, that lie and his companion went to the house of Digiore Monday night. Digiore denied this statement and Dancing—Afternoon, Win.

Woman Knew of Sccret Room, By the inadvertent turning hack by the police of a section of tapestry in the mansion where Mrs. Alice P. Kiunan was murdered there was revealed the mysterious chamber. Mrs. Stenton has lived In this house for more than thirty years, and the police do not hesitate to say that she fully was aware of the existence of the "blind" room. Her daughter had many times told Burton W. "Gibson, her lawyer. of a room In the house which she had never been permitted to enter. On the night of her death she was summoned to the door and struck down by some person whom the police have not traced.

Explain, fully. It is also known that Count Wltte is personally favorable to the Hebrews and their desires, but he strongly condemns tho attitude which the Hebrews are assuming in Russia in placing themselves at the head of the revolutionary movement against the advice of their own enlightened leaders, thus making it impossible for their uon- IIebrew friends to assist them. Count Wltte thinks the Russian Hebrews who are acting in this manner are blind, for if they are defeated they will be more oppressed than before, whereas-if successful tho remainder of the population, which Is more anti-Semitic than in other countries, will oblige them to flee. First—That the lock plan offered an entirely practicable and efficient method of controlling the Charges river, which the sea level plan did not. MITCHELL WENT DOWN ST. THOMAS COLLEGE. WANT MAN HELD. John Mitchell, the Browntowh pugilist, Went down to defeat at Plymouth last night, when, be collided with a right hand punch handed him by his opponent, Jack Cardiff, of Beading. The tlRht went seven rounds before Cardiff finally placed a blow over the heart of the Browntown fighter that sent him to the floor for the count. The bout was to have gone 15 rounds and both men weighed In at 13fi pounds. Cardiff forced the fighting from the beginning and drew blood In tho lirst round. Mitchell kept things even until the llfth, when Cardiff floored him. The Reading man followed up his advantage and two\r°uWds later, found his opportunity t\ pocket the Kate receipts. Mitchell was looked after by "Buck" Kelly and Ambrose K earns. From Mrs. Klnnan's statements • it was gathered that Mrs. Stenton was in sole possession of the secret. That tiiese goods may have been placed there by a band of smugglers or "sound" pirates was one of the theories advanced by Police Captain Price. A large cla.«s of graduates will be graduated from St. Thomas College. Scranton, tomorrow evening. Ut. Rev. Bishop Hoban will confer degrees and diplomas on the following: Second—That great advantages in dopth and width would be secured by the lock plan. Chief of Police Loftus received a telegram today from Chief Fallon, of Shenandoah, requesting him to hold Jacob llarrious. who is in the Luzerne county Jail, charged with an aggravated assault on an Avoca Colander. It will be* remembered that at the hearing a week ago one of the witnesses said that llarrious had committed a murder in Shenandoah a year ago by choking a man to death. This fact was communicated to the Shenandoah authorities and the telegram today was the result. It is not known whether or not llarrious has been connected with a murder in Shenandoah. but Chief 1 .oftus will comply with the request of the authorities of the down-state city. Third—That under no circumstances could the larger war vessels be turned in the sea level canal, while this • would be entirely practicable In the Jock canal, which for two-thirds its length Would afford sufficient width for this purpose. The degree of bachelor of arts conferred on James Aloyslus Murphy, Patrick Charles Foley. Edward Francis Xavior Doiinetty. Mr. Gibson already Ims turned over to the police securities whose face value is more than $40,000. The possession of this nmount, the presence of the valuables in the secret room, numerous bank books and papers showing the possession of other property tend to disprove the idea that she was in poverty. Mri, Stenton Not Poor. The degree of bachelor of science conferred on James Aloyslus Barrett, John Thomas Fad den, James Joseph Healey, John Lawrence Loftus, Thomas Gregory Met;raw, James Alphonsus Mcllugh, John James Xallln, Michael Paul ODea, George Patrick Revels, Robert Anthony Timlin. Fourth—That ho was dot Impressed by the suppositious danger to vessel undertaking to pass each other in tile lock canal, as lock crews and stationary power, which would be provided, would minimize or obliterate that danger. He wanted to know how these two sections harmonised. The Hebrews of Itussin had ouly one proper course to pursue, aud tlint was to Insist that nil rights granted toother races be also granted to them, nothing more and nothing less. Having resorted to violence, they provoked reprisals and reaction. Mr. Wadsworth replied that the common carrier need not Inquire.

Fifth—That It had been demonstrated by the most ample and extensive borings that the proposed loeks could all be built -on rock foundations, and that, moreover, these foundations were of sulllclent width to permit of extending the locks to double the proposed width, should that ever become necessary. The secret room was peculiarly constructed and fashioned with a view to strength. Its walls were of twice the thickness of those in the rest of the house. The air was so musty as to lead to the belief that the place had Dot been opened In many years. Of the necessity of preventing inconsiderate action lt.v revolutionists Count Witte believes there can lie no difference of opinion among those who know Russia. The government will not permit any consideration to interfere with measures it deems necessary to be adopted to stop the evils mentioned. In these days of discussions about the possibility of the dissolution of parliament those who oppose such action and claim that it would In- a coup d'etat forget that parliament Is not the only power in Russia. On the contrary, it is subject, ns are all representative legislative chambers in Europe, to dissolution on condition that a new parliament be convoked within six months. D. & H. WORK. TAX RECEIVERS.

Washington, June 20.—Senator Knox addressed the senate at length in sup|K»rt of the lock type for the Panama cauitl. contending that in point of feasibility and economy it is far sti|K*rlor to the sea level plan. The agricultural appropriation bill, containing the meat lns|K»ctlon provision, was received from the house, and the house substitute was ordered printed fot* the Information of the senate.

When the Republicans made their canvass for oflice lus-:t year they promised to have the taxes fcolleeted in one olllce ami this promise tliey liavc kept to the letter. Many of the bundles found In the room were wrapped carefully In tapestry more costly than the contents. Hardware and tools well oiled and unused were also found. In the room were also bolts of cloth, shoes, bats, costly linens and other articles whose value will not be known until an Inventory Is taken. Ninth—Because the lock canal could be transformed into a sea level canal at any time, while the reverse was not the case. Moreover, thd lock canal would take care of from 60,000,000 to 70,000,000 tons a year, which would meet every requirement for the next 50 years, while the difference in cost between the lock and sea level canal, at compound Interest for DO years, would produce a sum sutllcient to defray the entire cost of converting the lock canal Into a sea level waterway. Newark Bologna Factory Closed. OBITUARY. Newark, N.
