DA.Y OF DEBATE.
WABHINOUN , March 19. The jury
wcs excused fur a day and argument
on the admission of portions of Brady's
evidence oontinned. Morrloltf oald
Brady had stigmatized all of Walsh's
testimony as falao , as "a lie made out
of whole cloth. " On his cross exam
ination the government proposed to
interrogate him relative to facts sworn
to by Walsh. Brady came upon the
stand and declared he had acted ( in
matters Increase and expedition ) from
pure patriotic motives ; no brought his
motives In the case , but ho would find
that what he thought was solid rock
was but quicksand beneath hia foot ,
for It was for the government to re
but his testimony on that point. "Ho
put his motives forward , " said Mor-
rick , "and I now propose by the
magic rod of truth to { isolve and
disclose his propose. "
Ingersoll made the closing argu
ment. Ho said it was not material in
this case what Brady's motives In
taking expedition were in any other
case ; it was not necessary to intro
duce several other cases to prove Gen.
Brady knew it was wrong to swindle
the government. No matter if ho had
stolen in those cases , the presumption
was he was innocent of the charge on
trial. Ingorsoll commented upon the
lontrth of trial , that it might run into
years.
The court said the twelve candles
still bnrned.
It grsoll I am willing to go on
with eleven , when one juror dies , and
when the last man dies to take his ad
ministration ; yes , ( to Mbrrick , ) I ex
pect to survive and the case may drag
along until the judge , whoshall finally
pasi upon it , will not remember even
the ] name , your honor. ( Laughter. )

Governor Ordway drew this extra

was located at Lincoln. The commis

iu Dakota , that whllo the oommla-
slouors personally under the now law
may not buy up the lauds around the
slto that may bo chosen for the now
capital , there Is nothing to prevent
their friends from bnyltig for thorn.
It Is reported that n stock company
has already been quietly formed with
a capital of $1,000,000 , to buy 10,000
acres of land at the point which the
commissioners will select for the terri
torial capital.
Thla company will donate twenty
acres and $1,000 to the territory. A
spot will bo chosen to which , at least ,
two railroad lines will bo built , and
the profits of the ring on their cheap
lands will bo enormous. There Is
great excitement In the territory re
garding the removal of the capital , and
charges of bribery and corruption are
freely mado.

The power of the telephone to trans

mately associated with its delicacy ,
Mr. Wlllonghby Smith has found by
experiment that that a telephone will
work through a "resistance" of wlro
corresponding to 160,000 miles of tele
graph line ; and hence It wonld seem
moro child's play to fnllfil the words
of tho- pool , and "waft n sigh from
Indua totho Polo. " But this is only
a laboratory experiment ; for an actual
telegraph llnea the leakage of olootri-
o ty from the wlro to the ground , damp ,
and other drawbacks , render the trans
mission of speech by wlro far loss ossy
in practlco than was at llrqt eupponud.
Nevertheless , It is on record that Mr.
EdUnn transmitted n speech ever a

The day after the bombardment o

ophono through 1,000 miles of sub

of salt , because they knew that a sal
marine cable differs from a land teli

eot which it has on eloctrlo current

NEW YOUK , March 19 Cooper
Union waa crowded to HE ntmost
capacity to-night , by people gathered
to honor the memory of Karl Marx.
The rod 11 IR of the commune waa
everywhere , and a picture of the dead
man framed In black , surmounted with
the motto of "Vivo L'Intornationalo"
hung at the front of the platform. P.
J McGalro , Edward King , Victor
Drury , John Most , Dr. A. Douul and
John Swlnton inado speeches. The
last named gave a graphic description
of his first aud la t mooting with
Marx at RamBgato , England. Ho
oulojjlzod the domestic and public vir
tues of the socialist , and said ho had
made the "Internationale" the watch
word of the world's workers. Ho gave
moro than all to munklnd when ho
gave thorn himself.
The resolutions were road in Eng-
llah and Gorman and nnamlmously
adopted , They declare the world of
labor is plunged into sorrow. Its
most powerful thinker , Us noblest
here , Karl Marx , is no moro. His
llfo and the great power of his intel
lect have for thirty years boon devoted
to the oanso of the laboring pooplo.
In the field of social and economic
science ho waa first to provo by
statistical facts and reasoning
based upon universally recogni
sed principles of political
economy that capitalistic production
must necessarily load to monopolizing
and concentrating all Industry to the
hands of a few and thus by robbing ,
the working classes of the fruits of
their toil , to reduce them to nttor and
absolute slavery and degradation.
The resolutions conclude by pledg
ing the dissemination of tbo ideas , of
Marx to the world and dedication of
their lives to the cause of which he
was the pioneer and in which ho loft
so noble a record , Telegrams of con
dolence were received from Boston ,
Maryland and Now Jersey , from
Henry George and Frederick En-
glaa.
