STAR ROUTE TRIAL-
Special Dispatch to Till Usi.
WASHINGTON , March 2 ? . In the
star route trial to day the examina
tion of S. W. Dorsdy was roaamod.
Ho donled broadly llordoll's statement -
mont of a conversation at the Willard
hotel , and declared that It waa black
mailing schema on the part of Her-
doll , who threatened to hare Bonier
indicted and to go oror to the govern
ment. Regarding the affidavit of Juno ,
1881 , witness denied ho had asked
Rardall to make it for the sake of hli
family , or that ho offered him any in
ducements. The letter dated July
5th , 1882 , from Rerdoll to Doraoy , wno
road by Ingeraoll. Rerdoll writes that
ho haa considering the step ho waa
about to take for years ; ho
had intended to pat hlrriaolf
in connection with the government before -
fore ho had boon indicted , never
dreaming that ho was liable to indict
ment , because ho had only acted as an
agent , but to hla coat , he says , ho Ha-
toned to Boater , and refrained , a
oouaae he had regretted over since ,
and something ho would not do again
for any consideration. As a conse-
quonca ho is now penniless , and will
DO under a cloud , no matter what the
result of the trial la. If he had atucK
ta the government ho would now bo
free from indictment and perhaps
in a good position now. Again he had
made up his mind to go over to the
government and it waa useless for
Doraoy to appeal in the name of his
family. He knows full well that when
Doraoy and Boaler have no use for
him ho may go to the devil for all
they care.
Icgersoll described the Rerdell ac
count books , and witness said ho
never saw such books in any of his
offiseaRerdell never gave or sent
him any balance sheets from such
books. Ono book kept by Rerdell by
witness' authority was an expense
book and route book.
Holding twenty olght checks In his
hand. Ingeraol offered to put them
in evidence as representing ail money
drawn by Doraoy in the month of
Juno , 1879 , from Mlddloton & Co.
Ho handed thx ohockn ta.ii .r > rniecq-
> tlon with the request that they pick
out chocks upon which money had
been drawn to pay Brady.
Prosecution objected , because they
know nothing of the checks.
Ingorsoll. "You know a man who
doerf"
Merrlck. "He never said he saw a
check drawn. "
Ingersoll. "I know he la in a
hole. "
Merriok "Not much of a hole. "
Irgernoll ' 'it would not take much
of a hole to hold him ( laughter ) but
let us have yeaco. "
After recess to day the grand jury
came into court with a nuinbsr of
presentments , among them the fol
lowing : United Slates vs. Thos. J.
Brady , for unlawfully receiving money
and postal drafts to the amount of
$50,000 while second assistant post
master general from Jamea B. Price
as a reward for making a contract for
mall service with Price on July 13 ,
1880 , upon the star route from Socorro
to Silver Olty , New Mexico ; against
Wm. Pitt Kellogg and Thos. J. Brady
for conspiracy , on April 17,1880 , with
James B. Price to defraud the United
States by means of false oaths and
fraudulent allowance for expedition ,
and false and fraudulent claims made
for increased pay for expedition on
post routes from Munroe to Shreveport -
port and from San Antonio to Corpus
Chrlatl ; against William Pitt
Kellegg , setting forth that
on April 17 , 1880 , whilst
senator from Louisiana , he did un
lawfully receive from James B. Price ,
contractor , a certain sum in money ,
postal drafts and promissory notes ,
altogether of a value of $20,000 , for
the service of procuring , persuading
and Inducing Thos. J. Brady , second
assistant postmaster general , to award
and allow to Price an increase of pay
and compensation for carrying
mall , and corruptly influencing the
action of oald Brady. There is
another presentment against Brady
for having , on or about April 17,1880 ,
unlawfully received certain money !
postal drafts or notes , being of a total
valno of $20,000 , ai compensation for
service of e warding to Jamea B. Price
mall contracts on each of the routes
from Munroo to Shreveport , and San >
Antonla to Corpus Ohrlsti , to carry
the mail with Increased speed and for
Increased pay. Witnesses named are
John A. Walsh , Jnraes B. Price , Joseph -
soph Oochrano and J. W. Brady.
Jas. B. Price , mall contractor , in
an affidavit now in possession of the
government counsel in the star route
cases , deposes that In 1878 ho caused
a petition , numerously elijnod by citi
zens along his route , from Corpus
Ohrlsti to San Antonio , Texas , to 1 bo
presented to the postmaster general !
for the pnrpoeo of Increasing trips and
reducing running time and thereby
Increase hla compensation. Not being
successful , ho offered Kellogg $20,000
to assist him In the project. Kellogg
promised to see Brady and in the
meantime ho ( Price ) paid Kallogg
$1,500 in postal draft * drawn against
his ( affiant's ) pay. He also g vo his
note for $3,000 , duo in four months ,
which was subsequently paid to
Brady. The * nt further says that
Kellogg , after the investigation of f the
star route matter , had commenced to
become very much alarmed and omen ,
time * told him that he had given all
to Brady , deriving no benefits there-
from personally. At ether v. .cs ho
said that ho had doilved but 2,000

THE MISSISSIPPI.
THE IMPHOVKMJiNTB Wf TIIKIUVER ,
Special to the alobe > DeBMm&
WASHINGTON , March 25. Hon. W.
D. Washburn has returned from his
trip to Now Orleans. Ho apont
several days at Now Orleans , and ,
through the kindness of Captain Ends ,
who tendered him hla boat , he visited
the jottioa at the month of the Missis
sippi river , Utt tniloa below Now Or
leans. Ho says that before the jetties
were constructed the only outlet was
through the Southwest Pass ,
and that no vessel drawing
moro than fifteen or eighteen
feet could pass through It. Now
the outlet is through the South Pass ,
which before was impassible , owing to
the bed of alluvial deposit at the en
trance to the Gulf damming up the
pass. But now , by moans of the jet
ties , a channel of thirty fcqt deep has
boon kept open far months , so that
the entire commoroo of the Mississippi
now goes through the South Pass.
These jottlea consist of two immense
walls , running down into the Gulf ,
two miles In lodgth and 500 or GOO
foot nparl , erected ouo on cash aide of
the channel. Between those two huge
walla the current la concentrated , and
a channel IB kept washed out of tuffi-
oiout depth to
FLOAT THE LARGEST VESSELS.
Gon. Wnshbnrn says that under
Eido' contract with the government ,
ho agrees to kcop open a channel of
a certain deptli and width. K ho does
not his pay for maintaining the Im
provement ia stopped. He says the
captain has an immense dredge boat
of extraordinary dimensions , which
coat not loss than $150,000 , to boused
in case of ahoalinga and the soundings
are not of a certain depth. In de
scribing the jatty ayatem , and hla trip
to inveatlgate it , the general says :
"Tho great trouble In the naviga
tion of the MitslsBlppI haa been that
above the mnuth for miles the river
has spread ever a great surface of
country , crevasses have formed In the
levees , the river has broken through
its bauke , the inevitable result being
to shoal tbo river below. The effdot
of keopiug the river within its banks
for a certain width ia to give a certain
depth to the channel. The
jetty system a ; the month of
the Mississippi la on the same
principle , aud ia a great success. My
trip gave mo an excellent insight into
the whole jetty system. The captain
of the bout understood everything
thoroughly , and took groal palna to
explain it to mo. No ono can under
stand the jetty system thoroughly
until ho has Been it. My investigation
has'given mo a thorough understand
ing of It , and I am moat favorably im *
pressed. The plan recommended to
ODugre'ss by the
for the improvement of , navigation
above Now Orleans , Involves the ap
plication of precisely the same princi
ple. If I had any doubts before I
went there as to the practicability of
the Mississippi river commisiioner's
plans , which I had not , they would be
entirely dispelled now. The practica
bility of the plan below New Orleans
waa so perfectly oleaf to me that I
have not the slightest doubt In the
world that Hi application above will
accomplish precisely what they claim
for It. "
' 'General , what will be the result of
the failure of congress to make ap
propriations for carrying on the woik
ct improving the rivers and harbors } "
waa asked.
"People do not have the slightest
Idea of the loss that is going to result
to the country in the damage to prop
erty and the detriment to commerce.
My opinion Is that before long you
will hear a great clamor from all parts
of the country on account of the stop
page of these worka. I had a talk
with General Wright , and he feels very
badly about it. "
"What worka will be effected ! "
" . Moat all the works. These Miss-
lialppl river works will be damaged
more than any other , but all the
works will be damaged. As , for in
stance , the' most important improvement ij
ji
ment , no far as the Northwest la con
cerned , is that of the tianlte Ste. Ma
rio. The tonnage that goes through !
that river la limply enormous , and it
is increasing all the time. The gov
ernment has built a very extensive
canal aud look the finest ploco ref
masonry in thta country which will
take through a steamer drawing 1C
foot of water , aa large a draft aa will
admit .vessels through the Straits ofa
Mackinaw , to Chicago , but there la a
space In the
SATJLTE TIE. MARIE
where a vessel drawing only twelve
feet can go through. The consequence
la , we do not get the benefit of the 16r
feet draft In the canal. The differ >
ence in the cost of carrying freight rIn
vessels drawing 10 feet and In vessels
drawing twelve feet la tremendous.
The delay , therefore , In completing
thla Improvement will result In great )
loss , nut only in damage to property
but In injury to cDmmerco. I do not [
know of DO marked on instance where
ao little money is required to Improve
the carrying trade aa in the improve-
ment of that river , and the loss of one
year's time ia a great loss to the conn-
try. So it Ss with ether improve-
monts. There are Dululh and potho
ltlrior harbors , whore the commerce i ia
going to ba very large , and the f 11125
ties are Inadoqnata to do. the bust-
ness. The delay , therefore , In
completing the Improvement will
result in very great lese to the
country and in great injury to
the facilities for doing business. One
of the greatest losses results In stop-
ping snagboats. An appropriation la
made every year to operate thorn
They have all to bo laid up. The
snahboats on the Mississippi , Missouri
and Arkansas rivers , belonging 10 the
government , cost hundreds of then -
sands of dollars , and do a very uooes -
sary work every yearr It Is work that
ought to be done , but it will have to
atop , and aa a consequence navigation
* . . . ' . _ - n _ , i _
on these riven will be greatly dls-
- turbed , jnit for the wane of this small
appropriation. In my opinion you
will find In another year as croat a
howl for river and harbor appropria
tions as was raised by metropolitan
papers and a certain class of politi
cians who sought to makci cheap po
litical capital by denouncing the ap
propriation cf last year.

Special Dispatch to Tni D .
CHICAGO , Mtrch 25. In reply to
charges of lady Florence Dixie against
Patrick Egau , treasurer of the laud
league , published in the New York
Times , Egan was interviewed to-day
and gave his version of the controver
sy. In her letter Lady Dlxio assorted
aho did not know Richard Pigott , and
never had any correspondence with
him. Egan points out that the pam
phlet of eighty pages placed in the
hands of a Dublin printing house last
September , containing the grossest
dossiblo charges against the land
leagno , bore a page of introduction
signed by Lady Dixie , but the remain
der of the pamphlet waa in the hand
writing of Pigott. _ Proofs were sent
him , and after a dbzan or so copies-
were printed , Lady Dixie became
frightened at the array of charges and
caused all the books to bo destroyed
and the typos broken. "Unfortunately
tor Lady Dixie , " Bays Mr. Egan , "I
have a copy of the pamphlet , and am
airaro that all her statements were
taken from that book. In the face of I
these facts , what becomes of her |
qiibblo to the effect that she never
met and does not know Pigott.
In bar letter eho cilia on
mo to provo my denial of
her charges , As a matter of fact
she has no standing to attack the Land
League at all. She has never anb
scribed a penny toward the fund , and
never pretended to have any sympathy
with tbo Land League and is not an
Irishwoman. She la not the daughter
of a peer. Her recent fabrication
about the bogus attack on her should
fljinw Americana how muoh rather
, or
SVTfr mntr- . _ _ ALJ -y i . . - - - '
thing she Bays. "
Ho then repoata the atory alraady
published to the cffocC that i'lcott , as
editor of the Irishman , told him
( Egan ) that the Dublin castlo. officials
offered him ( Pigott ) 500 to publish a
fictitious statement of the land league
account in his paper , and offared to
suppress the same for 300 , which he
( Egan ) refused to give. These ficti
tious statements from Dubljn castle ,
Egan aaaerts , are the same as those
being promulgated by Lady Florence
against the land league.

Deputy Sheriff B. F. Plnnoo , of
Weld county , arrived In the city last
nlcht with an Important prisoner.
The nnmo of Tex-\s Pete , the terror of
the Republican vulloy , has become
familiar hi Colorado. Ho is ouo of
that class cf cowboys who arise to dis
tinction through an Innate and morbid
ambition to bo kmwn to the world as
a bully. Texas Pete Is a boy of only
19 years. Ho oimo from Texas two
yoara ago , and became " I
1
ONK or TUB WILD I10VH
of the plains in the capacity of n "cow-
puncher , " na the borders are common
ly called. The name was given him
because ho haa for some reason , which
Is regarded aa mysterious , and all the
tuoro so because of his youth , with
hold hla identity. It is believed that
his real narno Is Peter King.
For the past few months ho has
boon in the ntnploy of a man who is
also famous for having burnt a man to
death lu Nebraska a few yoara ago.
The much is situated near Wray's
Station , in the Republican valley ,
Weld county , Ititi miles from Danvor.
For several mouths the name of Texas
Pete has boon a source of dread among
peaceable people in that section In
his stature and style ho is what the
boys of Denver would call a "big kid"
ono of these swaggering
10LLY BOYS WITH BUCKSKIN LEGGINGS
and a broad-brimmed white hat , with
big spurs on his boots and a big pistol
in his bolt a character of the kind
that would become a dooilo and very
harmless sort of a creature under the
surveillance of the police of the city.
Bat while out upon the plains , away
from legal or moral restraint , ho has
become onu of thoeo budding young
desperadoes who HO often deservedly
have their email brains blown out at
the hands of tiomo peaceable citizen
whom they try to bnlldczi.
Texas Pete la associated with about
TUG LEADER OF TUB QAKQ.
While not convicted of any bloody
crime , the whole party have been in
dicted by the grand jury of Weld

It BO happened the night of the ball
that the weather was very disagreeable
and the dance waa postponed. This
caused the boys to become disagree
able. To make up for their disappoint
ment they began to drink , and when
they wore drunk they turned loose
volley after volley upon the houses at
the station. A number of bullets
wont whizzing through the residence
of Postmaster Masters , and ho and
his family narrowly escaped being
shot. It la also reported that they
7ft
fired a number of shots through a I
pasting train. Mr. Masters waa the |
principal witness , and caused the in
dictment of the whole party before tha
court at Greoloy.
TUB AHHKHT.
On Sitnrday last Deputy Vfaerlff
Plnneo and his son-in-law , James I.th
Arthns , went out to Wray station with
warrants for the whole party. The
c ( Users arrived at the station In the
night , and sat on the depot platform
till the break of day , when they start
ed out on foot a distance of two miles ,
to Iha camp of the young desperado.
Having received all necessary direc-
tlona , the ofi'uor found'the cabin with
out difficulty. Concealing himself
behind a nprlng house , with a Win
chester rlfla and two revolvers , ho sent
Arthur , unarmed to the cabin to
Infurin Texas Pete of their mission.
The officers expected to find all hood
men together. But it BO happened
that Pete was that night separated
from hla companions In the not. When
Mr. Arthur rapped , the young man
came to the door. When Informed

without resistance. Had he boon
with hla comrades there would no
doubt have been a different scene.
For a week they have kept their horses
saddled , ready for a stampede or a
fight. But this night they slept with
out guard and without preparation.
Mr. Plnnoo quickly secured his
prisoner , placed him on a freight train
and started for Denver. As BOOU sit
waa known that the officers wore In
