Measures before the conforanco ire only proposals for the safety of the ; canal. Lord Dufferln had been in structed if an agreement is reached it will be only a temporary incident to tbe present situation. No ultimation was sent the sultan.

Defense objected because the contract spoken of was not in cluded in the indictment. Morrlck moved that all of the evidence taken relative to the Rcdding-Alturas route bo stricken cut , because no action had boon taken toward expediting thvt routo. In answer to Ingorsoll Judge Wylio Skid it seemed to him the evidence had boon ottered to show there was a case or two where they ( the defend ants ) had not done tlio thing with which they were charged , but a man's good action could not bo an offset against his bad action. Ingorsoll den ied such was their object. In his opinion Brady's refusal to grant this expedition was a bad act , for it neces sary. Court said then ho had disro * garded the public needs and should have boon dismissed. The whole trouble appeared to have risen from a misunderstanding of ovldonco on his part v.hon it was offered. Ho would accordingly allow the evidence already taken to remain and would also ad mit an additional paper ( an affidavit ) presented by Bliss. Adjourned , CONFIRMATIONS. General Grant and W. II.
