U&io.

niiKKMAN’S MOST DISAGREEABLE DUTY.
Mr. Sherman next spoke. Air. Sewell oc
cupying the chair, lie rose, be said, to
i iorm the most disagreeable duty of his

tics. iu performing what he regarded a
i utiiic dutv to the people of Ohio, and
j , :ilarly to Hie Republican people of
I, iu,, he would do it in no spirit of un
kimlni'ss 10 biscolleague. He had known
b.in (nr had known of hirujsineo bo had
iirnvcd at the age of manhood. He bad
a nuvs known him as a respected and
t u i ii and citizen of Cleveland, regarded
VH'b r,y his neighbors, and he was glad to
c .i luiii in this investigation and iu per
il niiing this duty he should not have
ecus; ui to arraign his colleague iu the
slightest and; glee.
I'AYXX’s PURITY.
He believed that by common consent
ihe evidence showed that whatever cor
ruption occurred iu the process of the
flcciimi, no knowledge ol such corruption
K. brought so his colleague. Jle believed
j -iucertdy believed —lb at if the in
v. qigiiUon were granted, his colleague’s

In say also to the Senators from Illinois,
New Aunt aid Colorado (Messrs. Logan,
Lvarisund Teller), that he haUnosym
paitiv wiiatever with the critioisms made
upon these honored Senators. He did not
llnnk that any of the newspaper extracts
n-sd by .Mr. Log an yesterday showed any
reflection on their motives. Asa matter
i course, newspapers were rude nnd
rough in tneir language about public
men, but if anybody expected better
treatment from newspapers he would have
to live iu an age yet far remote.
ALLEGED HISTORY.
It was the history of politics that every

ALBANY’S 81-CENTENNIATi.
I’resitlent Cleveland Makes a Short
Congratulatory Speech.
Albany, N. Y., July22—To-day is tho
bi-centennial of tho incorporatiou of
Albauv as a city, and the Albanians have
given themselves up body and 6oul to
celebrating it. The celebration has in
fact been in progress for threa days, but
to-day is the anniversary and climax.
Nobody went to bed last night. The up
roar that broke loose at midnight when
the bells announced the arrival of the an
niversary continued until daylight Men,
boys, and even women, went up and
down the principal streets blowing
horns and singing until morning came.
Men and boys organized themselves into
marching bands and went from one part
of the city to another, blowing two or
three horns together and stopping before
hotels and private residences and giving
impromptu serenades. Small cannon
kept up their salutes and bonfires lighted
lip the principal streets, and the red fire’s
glow was reflected from the skies above
until they paled in the gray of the ap
proaching morning. All the noise and
enthusiasm that Albany may have had
pent-up within herseir for the last two
centuries seemed to have suddenly found
vent.
THE PRESIDENT’S ARRIVAL.
President Cleveland and his party ar
rived a few minutes alter G o’clock this
morning ami found waiting to receive him
the Burgesses corps, under command of
Maj. Vau Zandt, with tho Plattsburg
band at their head. Carriages contain
ing M aver Thicker, ex-Mavor Bauks ana
other city oilieials were also in waiting.
Without the lines formed by the militia
s'ood olio or GOO citizens who had come to
welcome the President. President Cleve
land and his friends were escorted to the
Executive Mansion, where they break
fasted with Gov. Hill. The Burgesses
corps then marched to the steamboat
landing and welcomed tbe veteran or
ganization of the New York Seventh
regiment, while other organizations of
the Albany militia had a busy time wel
coming and escorting other visiting com
mands.
THE PRESIDENT’S PARTICIPATION.
President Cleveland spent part of the
forenoon in a call upon Secretary Man
ning and later, in company with Gov. Hill
anil his stall'and tbe city oflicfals, rode in
and afterward reviewed a magnificent,
procession. When the (ormal ceremonies
were proceeding, altera speech by Gov.
1J ill, the crowd dispensed with the regular
programme by clamoring for President
Cleveland. The President made a short
congratulatory speech, and the crowd
ihen called out Secretaries Bayard and
Whitney, who spoke briefly and in good
tasle. The regular programme was then
allowed to be resumed, winding up with
Ihe singing of “Amorica” by a chorus and
the audience.
A BAND OF MURDKUERS.
Fifteen Young White Men of Missis
sippi set the Laws at Dcliunce.
Jackson, Miss., July 22— A deplorable
state of affairs exists near Union, Newton
county, about 70 miles east of here. A
band of young white men, styling them
selves Regulators, have issued a decree
that no negroes shall work on the farms
in that vicinity. Tho band contains
about fifteen members, and they haA*
killed three negroes and wounded several
others. A perlect slate of terror prevails,
and the entire county is greatly excited
over the matter. Everyone condemns the
atrocious and bloody actions, and it is
determined thatevery memberot the baud
shall be made to ansyer for bis crimes.
J. M. Kelly was here yesterday to see
the Governor, and was told to arrest every
one of the young outlaws at all hazards.
About twenty citizens, headed by officers
armed with proper warrants, are now
after the young desperadoes, and their
speedy capture is looked lor. It seems
that wbeu an attempt was first started to
regulate the negroes that it was more in
fun than anything else, but the “Regula
tors” have now undertaken in earnest to
execute their designs. Their actions can
hardly be accounted for, and arc a sur
prise "to every one.

Washington, July 22—In the Senate

submitted a report which was aereed to.
He slated that that disposed of the naval
appropriation bill, which had not occu
pied more than an hour of the Senate’s

tbeChairmnn ot the Committee on Appro
priations pressed the sundry civil bill) he
(Mr. liale) would to-morrow ask the
Senate to take up the dettcieuey bill auil
continue its consideration until passed,
lie woulddo this because he believed that
the general sense of the Senate was in
favor of'putting the necessary business
through at once. Air. Allison sad Ihe
moment the l'ayue matter was disoosed
of ho would press the sundry civil bill.

Slreuuoug llfforts to Resurrect It by
L.yiiiK A‘.icl‘ Ihe Measures Which
Hold It Down—An Afternoon Wasted
in Humorous Oratory to Alii lu the
Movement.
Washington, July 22—In the House
to-day Mr. Hatch, from the Committee on
Agriculture, reported back as a matter
of privilege tho oleomargarine bill with
tho Senate amendments.
Mr. Dunham rnisod a point of order
that tee report was not a privileged one.
The only committee which had a right of
way with revenue bills was the Coin
uiitteeou Ways and Means. Tho only
privilege which attached to tho Commit
tee on Agriculture was to report the agri
cultural appropriation bill at any time.
Mr. Hutch contended that the House,
by its action in referring the bill to the
Committee on Agriculture, had given
that committee tho same privileges iu
regard to it as was conferred upon the
Ways and Means Committee in regard to
other revenue bills.
Mr. Iliscock took the sameground, and
stated further that it had always been the
practice for the House to accede to the
request of the Senate lor a conference.
where the privilege ur
Mr. Dunu argued that the privilege at
tached not to the measure, but to the com
mittee. The bill was not privileged be
cause it was a revenue bill, but because
tbe Ways and Means Committee was
granted a right to report it at any time.
That privilege did not attach to tho Agri
culture Committee.
Mr. McCreary could find no instanceon
record where the request of one house lor
a conference was refused by the other
house.
The Speaker said the privilege to report
revenue bills at any time applied to the
Committee on Ways aud Means; tho priv
ilege to consider revenue bills applied to
all revenue bills. The chair did not see
how the order which had relerred the bill
to the Committee on Agriculture con
ferred any power upon that committee
which it did not before possess. He there
fore held that the report was not a priv
ileged one, aud therefore declined to en
tertain it.
the bill buried.
Mr. Herbert, ot Alabama, rose to call
up the special order, the naval inorease
bill, when Mr. Hiscock, rising to a parlia
mentary Inquiry, asked whether, if the
House retused to consider the special or
der, a call of the committees would then
be in order.
The Speaker replied that it would.
Messrs. Hiscock and Hatch thereupon
raised Ihe question of consideration, and
Mr. Herbert, fearing that the friends of
the oleomargarine bill would unite and
vote against him, withdrew his bill for
the present, and the Speaker proceeded
to call the committees for reports, when
the following were submitted:
By Mr. Hatch, Irom the Committee on
Agriculture—The oleomargarine bill
with tbe Seriate amendments and with a
recommendation that they be non-con
curredin It was referred to the committee
of the whole, where it takes its place at
the foot of tbe calendar, and where it, can
only be reached by laying aside tbe Mor
risou and Randall tariff bills and one or
two internal revenue bills.
MANY MEASURES PUT ABIDE.
After other reports had been made, Mr.
Herbert.again called up the special order.
Mr. Hatch again raised the question of
consideration, desiring to move to go into
committee of tire whole for vonsideiation
of the oleomargarine bill.
The House retused to consider tho navy
increase bill, and immediately Mr. Rea
gan, of Texas, called up as a privileged
matter tbe ititer-State commerce bill, and
against this also Mr. Hatch raised the
question of consideration.
The inter-Btate commerce bill met with
the same fate as the naval bid, the House
refusiug, by a vote of 102 to 151, to con
sider it.
REVENUE BILLS. *
The House then went into committee of
the whole on revenue bills, the object
being to reach the oleomargarine bill.
'lhe first bill of this character on the cal
endar was the Morrisou tariff bill, and
Mr. Morrison asked that it be laid aside.
Mr. Dunham objected, and the objection
having been reported to the House, the
Speaker announced tbe question to lie on
laying the bill aside. This was agreed to
by a vote of 10 1 to 03, aud the committee
resumed its session.
The next revenue bill reached was that
giving notice of the termination of the
Hawaiian treaty.
TWO MORE ON THE SHELF.
Mr. Hatch asked that it be laid aside,
and, alter demanding its reading, Mr.
Dunham objected and ins objection was
rei>rted to the House. Tbo bill was laid
aside by a vote of 158 to On, and once more
tbe committee resumed its session, only
to strike another snag in the bill to re
duce the number ot iotcrnal revenue offi.
cers amt to provide a better and more
economical administration of too interna)
revenue lawn, which bill was also laid
aside by a vote of 159 to 7G.
This see-saw game war continued until
4:30 o’clock, hills relating to revenue
be:ng laid aside by votes varying from 158
yeas aori 51 nays to 14G yeas and 51 nays.
At that time the bill regulating the
manufacture of vinegar made from grain
was reached.
NEW TACTICS.
Then tbo friends of the oleomargarine
hill resorted to different tactics, aud in
stead ol asking that tho bill be
laid aside Air. Hatch took the floor
to advocate the measure, Ins object
being to make the bill tho unfinished busl
ne-s. so as lo prevent the necessity ot be
ginning at the head of ihe list to-morrow
in the progress towards the oleomarga
rine lull, ilethen yielded to Air. IFseock,
who. in a humorous mariner, began to
talk against time and lnJavor of the bill,
and his remarks were received with good
natuved applause and laughter.
lIKN DKUSON’B lIU MUR.
Mr. Henderson, of lowa, m an equally
humorous manner, took the other tack
nnd vigorously denounced tho bill, de
claring it to l> the most Infamous proposi
tion ever brougiit beioro an Amtr.can
Congress, and he was not surprised to
gee an old gray-haired rascal like the
gentleman from New York advocating
snob a villainous meusure. [Laughter.]
lie withdrew his offensive remarks and
admitted that the .gentleman had some
dark hairs In his head. This bill was
only in keeping with the mixed-up per
formances which the House Lad seen on
tbe part of tbe Committee oti Ways aud
Means. This was ruca an infamous
proposition that be saw no good in It,
ami ho (elt like raking the committee

Mr. Henderson—The correction of my j

said it. I was thinking only of the chair

House at & o’clock adjourned.
BRITISH ARMY ABUSES.
Corrupt Charges Against. Officers in
Responsible Positions.
London, July 22—The War Office an
nounces that in consequence of an article
published in the Times of July 19, charg
ing tho officials of the Ordnance Depart
ment with corruption, Gens. Campbell,
Reilly, and Anderson, successively chiefs
ol that department iu too past, eleven
years, demanded an inquiry before a
cwnpeteM tribunal, and that Campbell
Raunermatiii, War Secretary, refused to
grant an inquiry, because "t he charges
were vague and were net supported by
any statement of facts. “Such a
tribunal,” the Secre’svy says, “must be
empowered to examine witnesses under
oath, and such power can only boirr*ntetl
try royal commission by act.o!' Parliament,.
In order to secure such commission pntna
tacie evidence is necessary. In this case
none has been adduced, and therefore i
have no power to institute an Inquiry.
NEED OF PROOF.
“When charges are made reflecting on
the honor of officers and gentlemen be
longing to a public department they
ought to be supported by definite state
ments, enabling a test inquiry to be tnude.
“Nothing has occurred to weaken my
belief in the integrity of the officers of
the department.”
Tho Times’ article referred to in the
statement of the War Office declared that
it had long been manifest that the War
Department was ineompeteut, and that
now it was openly said to be corrupt.
“The department,” said iheTnues, “is
composed of military men without me
chanical, chemical or metallurgical
knowledge, of men who are babies in the
hands of their subordinates, some oi
whom are shareholders in a private gun
nery company. It England should be
come involved in war to-morrow see
would be compelled to become a su(s
pliant to Krupo to supply means of de
fending her national existence.
ÜBKLKSB WEAPONS.
“Col. Hope has offered to prove whole
sale corruption against the department in
supplying guns which burst, title car
tridges which jam, bayonets which bend,
and swords which will not cut. Others
have offer and to prove fraud aud perjury
against higu officials of the department,
who are enid lo carry on quite a ibrivm*
industry in buying condemned stores at
one depot and selling them to auother as
new stores. It is the common belief in
the garrison towns that nothing is sala
ble lo tbe Wur Uflica except by bribery.
The action of the War Office iu refusiug
to hear evidence is unfair and evasive.
It is t* l>e hoped that tbe new Parliament
will extinguish the scandal and correct
this shameful inefficiency.”

impossible for the tenantry to pay, and
more unbearable. It is absolutely
hopeless to expect any redress Irom nil

nature lor ihe Irish tenantry to longer re-

Chicago, .July ’22.—Judge Gary's court
room was crowded as usual this morning,
when M. I*. Williamson, formerly a re
porter tortile Daily News, was called totbe
stand. Mr. Williamson testified that he
knew Parsons, Spies and Fielden, and on
the night, the uew Board of Trade building
was opened the witness was detailed to
follow the Socialists’ procession which
tramped through the down town streets.
The procession broke up at No. 107 Fifth
avenue, the olliee of the Arbeiter /milling.
Parsons was the tirst speaker. He called
the police bloodhounds and servants of
robbing capitalists. He called the crowd
to iollow him and attack several clothing
bouses, Murshall Field’s store being men
tioned, and help themselves to what he
termed “the necessities ot life.” Fielden
said the same thing, lie offered to lead
the mob in an attack on the stores.
THE NBW BUILDING,
“Wbat was said about the new Board
of Trade?”
“Both speakers said the building was
put up out of money stolen from them,
and that everyone who did business there
was a robber and a thief.”
The witness ..went upstairs iuto the
office. Parsons was asked by the reporter
why the Socialists did not march upon
the Board of Trade and blow it up. He
said the police prevented it.
“Well, but your party have revolvers.
What further preparation do you need?”
asked Williamson.
“The time hasn’t come yet. When the
time does come we will meet the police
with dynamite and bombs.”
“When did he say the time would
come?”
“Some time during the year.”
Parsons gave the witness a practical
illustration of what he meant, and showed
him a shell and cap. There was also a
quantity of dynamite, a reddish sub
stance.
KEPT NKAII AT HAND.
They were kept iu a drawer In a cabi
net in the office Parsons called for them
and Spies got them. Parsons said these
explosives were kept on hand in pt opera
tion for the war that was impending;
that the laboring man was being
robbed by the scoundrelly Board ot
Trade men and others. The manner ot
warfare was to burl bombs from house
tops, and in that way they could an
nihilate any lorce of police or militia that
could be assembled. Ibis conversation
took place with Parsons, Fielden stand
ing by. On going down stairs the wit
ness met Detectives Trehern and Sulli
van, of the Cottage Grove avenue sta
tion. The officers went upstairs with the
witness, and the statements were re
peated to the officers in the presence ol
the witness.
Several women carried red flags in the
procession that night.
AT THE MEETINGS.
The witness had attended meetings at
54 Lake street and heard Parsons and
Fielden address the crowds. Fielden on
one occasion wanted the crowd to follow
him to some store and get the necessities
of life. Fielden advised the men to buy
dynamite, saying that fits, worth of dyna
mite was worth more than all the guns
and revolvers in the Union.
NOT SHAKEN BY THE CROSS EXAMINA
TION.
Mr. Williamson was severely cross
examined by Capt. Black, but the erost
examinntlou only served to strengthen
the testimony be b*d given. He men
tioned by name stores that Parsons had
urged sacking. The witness was again
taken in hand by the prosecution and tes
tified that Parsons told him there were
3,000 Socialists in the city, and thut when
ever the time came they would he armed
with bombs. He said they were thin
drilling iu halls in various parts of the
city, but he would not snv where the
halls were located. When Ibe time to act
came they would begin operations on
.Market street square and about the
tunnel.
Lieut. Shea, chief of detectives, was
next called. He was at the Arbeiter
Zoltung office May 5 after Spies had
been arrest* and. The building was searched
and all in it were arrested. They lound
tiles of manuscript, typ*- in forms und a
uuantltv ol dynamite all of which was
takeu to police headquarters.
HPIKS’ BOASTS.
The wituess identified a k** ef type
on wiliest) iho “revenue” circular was
printed. Lieut. Shea then gave a con
versation be had with Spies after the lat
ter’s arrest. Spies said he opened the
Huym.irket meeting, and that Parsons,
Fu lfil n and Schwab were also there. He
said he also spoke at the McCormick meet
ing, but knew iioihiiiitol what happened
there later till some time alter, lie knew
nothing ot the circular that was put on
the streets. The witness also talked with
Fischer, who said that he was in the
Atboitor /eltutut office on the niitht of th e
riot with Schwab, and that Kail brought
word that Spies was at the iiaytuarket,
that a big crowd was there, and they all
went over. A belt and dagger and fit I
nunuting cap which Fischer had on when
arrested lie said he carried for his protec
tion. The witness further aaltl that Spies
told him he left before tho bomb was
thrown, and that Fischer said ho was at
Z'jpti's llall at the turn-.
FOHTKR’B IMPUDENCE.
During the cross examination, which
was conducted by Mr. Foster, the lawyer
added a siguilicunt "aha!’’ to Lieut.
Shea's answer that he dill not allow Spies
to read the original manuscript ot tho
“revenge” circular so that he could Iden
tify it.
judge Gary said: “That, is not proper.
The witness must he treated in court with
the same courtesy as on ttie street. That
prolonged ‘ahal’ is not in a proper tone.”
L. F. lluck. a mining expert, testilied
concerning tho disastrous elf eels of tne
captured dynamite which he had ex
ploded.
l.leut. Hubbard followed and gave an
account ol the experiences of himself and
his company of twentv-elght at toe llav
tnnrket. His story differed hut little from
those already given. Of his twenty-eight
men seven were Injured.
Officer Welko. one of the men wounded,
took the stand with a bandage around ids
head. He heard Engle early in the year
make a speech advising workmen to buy
revolvers to shoot tho police.
STARTLING BPIEB.
Detective Jones testified concerning the
matter be seized at the Arbeiler Zeltung
office. Spies’ keys fitted numerous draw
ers In winch dynamite and other explo
sives were found. “1 offer the keys in
evidence,” said the State's ‘attorney.
“Hadn't you bettor restore them to the
person they belong to?’’ asked Capt.
Black.
“1 don’t think he will evor nos'd them
again,” answered Mr. Griunell.
Spies’ eyes started out at this, and tbo
court took a recess.
The tirst witnesses this atternoon were
officers ,Jones, Me Keogh and Flynn. They
testified to the finding of several thousand
copies of “the revenge” circular in the
office of the Arbeiter Zoltung, and a great
many copies of other circulars calliug
workingmen to arms.
DYNAMITE EXHIBITED.
Several pounds of dynamite in one pack
age were also discovered. The witness
(officer Duffy) then got down from the
chair, sml opened a package of dyqamue
on the lloor at tho foot ot the jury.
“It is not dangerous,” tue witness said
reassuringly to the jurors, who were be
ginning to evince a disposition to edge off
a trillo fiom the location of tho dangerous
compound. Judge Gary expressed
marked displeasure.
“lake that dynamite away," ho or
dered, and tbo bulky pile of explosive was.
hurriedly carried out.
“Did Spies say he knew where the dy
namite package came from?” asked law
yer Foster In behalf of the defense.
“Yes,” answered iho vvituess, “Spies
said ho did not put it on the shelf iu the
office, and insinuated that the police offi
cers put it there.”
Officer Me Keogh testified that ho was
in the Arbeiter Zoltung office about un
hour after Spies’ arrest. Ho saw tue
package produced lying open und exposed
to view.
IN spies’ desk.
I’artieutarly pointed testimony regard
ing the finding of dynamite materials in
the Arbeiter Zeltung office was given by
Officer Flynn. Ho and Officer Jones
searched Soles’ desk. They found fuse,
caps and a number of sticks of dynamite.
John Ryan, a retired officer of the
United Slates navy, w as the next wilness.
lie hud heard Spies, i’arsons, Fielden,
Schwab and Neebe speak at the Sunday
afternoon meeting on the Luke front.
Their speeches wore of a similar tenor.
Tne witness, at the suggestion of the
counsel on both sides. Instanced the par
ticular meeting, ana described it in de
tail. I’ursons was a speaker. Parsons
declared to tbo crowd that the police aud
constitutional authorities wero the
natural enemies ol the workingman, lie
advised each Individual present to pur
chase a rifle, h money enough could not
be bad for a rifle, lot him buy a pistol. If
a pistol was out of the question then let
liim remember that he could get enough
dynamite for 25e. to blow up a building
the size of the Pullman headquarters.
AN EXPERIMENT.
Parsons spoke of how dynamite had
been experimented with by a young Ger
man at u Socialist picnic a few days be
lore. He had it in a tomato can and
threw it into a snin 1 pond or lake in tlie
picnic grounds. The speaker told the
crowd in glowing terms of the destruction
the experiment showed could be wrought
by a very little dynamite. Spies said the
same things. The witness was about to
cease this narrative when his eye acci
dentally rested on Mrs. Parsons. He
said Mrs. I’arsons was one of tbe most
violent of tbe speakers. The wife ol the
anarchist editorstood proudly erect.
Ilarrv Wilkinson, a reporter for the
Dully News, was me next witness. Mr.
Wilkinson’s testimony was principally in
relation to a number of conversations hud
with Spies in Junuury last. Ihe witness
had been detailed to investigate the plac
ing of an internal machine upon .he steps
ol Judge Lambert Tree’s residence.
spies’ denial.
Spies denied that the explosive could
have come from tlie hands ol any Socialist
in tbefcity. Neither could the bomb found
iu tho offices of the Chicago, Burlington
and (juincy railroad have been left there
hv any < hicago anarchist. Spies proceed
ed lo prove ins assertion by showing that
the bomb manufactured for tbe Chicago
groups were of an entirely different
make. The witness was given bv Spies a
small spherical bomb, an exact duplicate
of the one exploded in tbe 11 avmarket,
which Spies described as “the Czar,” and
went on to tell of its superior destructive
power. Several thousand had been manu
factured in Chicago. They wore some
times distributed through the Arbeiter
Zsituiig office, but generally only a lew
were kept there for samples. Tlie coni
mon dynamite of ooinmeroo contained
only ab ut 60 per oeut. of explosive.
THEIR OWN IMPORTATION.
'The Chicago groups imported their own
fusonal earth anil obtained an article In
wtilcli the explosive figured at fuilv : 0
per cent. W hen there was a conflict with
the police at a public meeting at the inter
section ot two streets, and the meetings
would invariably be held at suuh iuter
secUxhs, the crowd was to open in Ihe
shape of a letter V. Then the bombs
would be hurled from a bouse top adjoining
and H possible an infernal machine would
be exploded in tltu uudst of the police
Irom tho manhole ol a sewer. Tho an
archists had prepared ruups of all the
prominent street corners, the means or
access to adjoining house tops, and
wero thoroughly |>ost.-d in regard to the
various underground systems throughout
the city. If the workingmen were to
strike to enloroe the eight-hour move
ment a conflict would probably occur
then. The witnoss was cross examined
briefly, when the court adjourned.

Mr. Matthews then addressed the jury
on behalf of the petitioner, Mr. Crawford,
whom tho lawyer described as “the only
one who merged clean from amidst this
plentiful throwing of the foulest mud.’*
The lawyer ridiculed Sir Charles Dilne’s
reusons lor remaining silent during tb<
previous trial “when thoro was produced
against him strong, damning evidence of
brutal adultery, more betHting tbe treat*
men! of women In a French brothel than a
relined English lady.” Mr. Matthewsdij
not mince matters. He described things
in the vernacular with such power as ts
intensely excite Sir Charles Dilke, wht
became livid with rage, and twiei
jumped to his feet and essayed to apeak,
which tie Judge sternly prevented him
from doing.

Mr. Matthews,continuing,referred witl
intense scorn to the “Frenchified Sloan*

Commenting on the apparent present
