p WASHINGTON. D. C. , April 9. I
Commissioner Tanner says ho is deter
mined to thoroughly overhaul the pension of
fice , an * with a view to doing this ho has sot
nt work some of his most experienced nnd
reliable assistants for Iho purpose of ascer
taining what is needed to make the ofllco
moro efficient. A list Is being prepared of
the special examiners in the field and of the
officers and clerks who were put into posi
tions under General Black , through civil
Ecrvlco examinations , who did not pass n fair
examination. It Is stated that more than half
of the special examiners who were appointed
through pretended civil service competition
V- were in fact subjected to no competition nt
nil , Aro-oxamlnatlon of the papers shows
I that the percentage attained was far below
that required by law In order to make them
eligible for appointment. These men wcro iu
many instances practically selected before
they presented themselves for civil service
examination , nnd the latter was simply a
matter of form. After this list has been
made up and proof Is collected of the fuel
that their civil service examination was a
fraud the names of a lol of men will bo pre
sented to the secretary of the interior for
dismissal. It is probnblo that Secretary Noble
had this in mind when ho said lo your corre
spondent yesterday that thcro wonld bo a
great ninny changes made in the forces of
the pension ofllco in a short time. It is un-v
necessary to sny lhat nil of Ihcso special ox-v
nmlnors , ngcnls nnd clerks who were ap
pointed through fraudulent civil service ox-
nmlnutlons are democrats nnd were put inio
the , ofllco for n political purpose. Enough
lias been found In this investigation to provo
thut the office during the last three years
nnd especially the past summer nnd fall , was
used In the most outrageous way as a poli
tical machine , but not only was the ofllco
itself filled with employes In violation of Iho
law , but pensions were allowed with u view
to political effect. Under the circumstances
it is probable tnat nearly every ono of Iho
men employed by General Black will bo dis
missed within a very short tlmo. The office
Is i cully In ten limes worse condition than
Gcncral.Black over charged his predecessor
with having left it , and it will bo remembered
that the efforts of General Black to smirch
the management of the ofllco under Colonel
Dudley , through a congressional Investiga
tion , proved a dead failure. The exposures
which Commissioner Tanner will undoubtedly
muko of the management of the pension
office under Commissioner Black will provo
a sensation. This is not a matter of pollllcs ,
but ono of justice to the pensioners mid ap
plicants for pensions and the country til
largo.
JIOODY'S PULL.
Tho'appointment to-day of James Mc
Dowell , of Dakota , to bo register of the
United States land ofllco at Huron , is o recog
nition of United Stales Senator Moody , of
Dcudwood , as Iho appointment was made at
bis request. Senator Moody has a strong
pull with the administration nnd stands very
high in the estimation of republicans in
congress.
EXTENDING THE TIME.
President Harrison will probably extend
the time within which ex-union soldiers who
iveie dismissed from the federal service
under the recent administration jnay be rein-
Hated without having to pass a civil service
examination. Under the law Iho limit of
time an officer may bo out of the service
without passing the civil service examination
In order to be reinstated , Is twelve months.
Congressman Houck , of Tennessee , who was
a distinguished soldier , called on the presi
dent to-day and urged that the tlmo bo ex
tended so lhat veterans who were turned oul
by President Cleveland may bo put back intc
the hcrvlco without having to pass n civi
service examination , and ho says it Is hli
impression that the tlmo will bo cxlcnded
to four years.

orally umlcistood that Mr. Charles E. Coon

lies between ex-Congressman Richard Par-
SOIIH , of Ohio , and ex-Congressman Lucoy , of

THE SORGHUM EXPERIMENTS.
1 Detailed Hcport of the Work at the
VarioiiR Stations. '
WASHINGTON , April 9. H. W. Wiley ,
ihomlst of the agricultural department , has
completed his record of experiments in the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum , con
ducted last year at Ulo Grande , N. J. ; Kon-
nor , La. , nnd Conwny Springs , Douglass and
Sterling1 , Kan. The work at Sterling dif-
crcd from that nt the other places. It was
in examination of nil obtainable varieties of
ho sorghum plant , begun by the Sterling
sugar company and completed by the do-
lartment ,
The work nt Ulo Grande , N. J. , was carried
on by H. A. Hughes , whoso purpose was to
lolorinlno whether or not sorghum sugar
could bo successfully manufactured on a
small scale. Prof. Wiley says ho docs not
see any favorable result coming from the
Iwo years' irial nt llio Grando.
The pracllcnl experiments carried on nt
Douglas consisted in a thorough trial of the
system of diffusion ( Ilugncs system ) to test
ts fitness for working on a largo scale. They
ivcro not a success , owing to the failure of
.he . batlcry ' lo work properly. The agrlcul-
lUral'resulls , however , were of a most en-
lourngmg nature , showing thut in that local
ly a crop of sorghum cnno can bo grown
which , wilh proper treatment , mny bo ox-
iccled lo yield eighty or ninety pounds of
sugar from u ton of pure cane.
Prof. Wiley devotes considerable space to
i presentation of the points lo bo considered
n building a factory. Southern and western
Kansas possess the best soil and climate for
sorghum raising so far ns is now known.
Indian Territory Is destined to bo the conlor
of the Industry. The expectation of cstab-
"Ishlng a successful sorghum induslry In Iho
jrcat maize fields of the counlry must now
)0 definitely abandoned. In detail the bul
olin is very complete. It contains the ra
> orls of assistants in charge of experi
mental stations * , with n dully record
of the results in tabulated form , an analysis
of sugar beets grown In Kansas from seed
jrown by Clnus Spreckels , and the effect of
.ho diffusion process upon the extraction of
Bugar Irom'sugar cane. The latest report on
, his subject showed that an average of l'J4
lounds of sugar * is made from n ton of
cane.
The AcriculturM Stations.
WASHINGTON , April 0. Secretary Husk
has issued a pamphlet glvincr the history of
the agricultural experiment stations which
have been established under a recent law of
congress , and are now conducting scientific
and practical experiments in regard to soil ,
tillage , manures , crops , stock feeding , dairy-
.ingnnd horticulture in the various stales.
All'tho states and ono territory ( DaKOla )
now have agricultural experiment stations.
The total number of stalions now in opera
tion is forly , and including branch stations ,
nearly sixty. They employ moro than three
hundred and seventy scientists and agricul
turists , and will Ihis year receive ? 59j,000
from llio national government , and about
$125,000 from the stales and other sources.
The most cordial feeling is said to exist be
tween the stations nnd department of agri
culture , which is charged'by congress with
the duty of supervising and aiding Iho work
of the stations.

n letter from Baum to Borueman , saying
that ho had engaged htm as an embroiderer.
Ho also admitted that ho had made no his

ate General Phillip II. Sheridan at the
Academy of Muslo to-night. General Martin
McMahon president. Bishop MoNicry opened
the oxcrciscs wilh prayer , and then followed
on address by General Wager Swayno , orator
tor of the evening.
General Swayno rovlowod Sheridan's
career from the time he enlisted ns first
lieutenant of infantry at Yamhill , Ore. , until
the war. His conduct os n soldier was
bravo , gallant and skillful , and promotions
came rapidly. Nature had given him the
utilities essential to a selfish excellence.
? lo added to them suoh ns to win affection
and command respect. The personal ascend
ancy resulting , made bis whole command
only himself enlarged , and whore ho willed ,
it went with all his will and
did what In Hhoir place ho
would have done. The impression
Hint ho was siuiplv a reckless , Impetuous
soldier was n mistake. As General Pope
said of him , "In all his life ho did not do any
important act without careful consideration
beforehand. Nellhor in civil administra
tion , in time of profound ooaco , nor in the
roar and fury of battlo.dld ho over net ex
cept on well defined lines and clearly con
ceived purposes. The voice of the people is ,
Grant , Sherman , Sheridan. It is the voice
of Iho people , and it Is enough. "
At the conclusion of General Swayno's ad
dress ihoro wore calls' for General Sherman ,
who rose to respond. ' General Curlis intro-
duccd him with the remark , "Tho greatest
living general of the world stands before
you. " General bherman spoke feelingly of
his associations with General Sheridan , say
ing that only n few of his' comrades wcro left
to mourn him. Ho then referred
to his earlv acquaintance with Grant and
Sheridan , and of Iho cause for which all
three fought. Ho declared that no stronger
or bolter American over lived than Sheridan ,
and said that his name- would always be
coupled with those of , Washington and Grant.
General Algor also iriado a few , graceful re

TO DIVIDE THE TERIIITOIIY.
Tlio-Lmtest Move 'In New Jlexlco In
the Interest or Statehood.
CHICAGO , April 9. Intelligence' or a now
movement in Now Mexico in the interest of
statehood is brought by H. M. Glasgow , edi
tor of the Sierra County Advocate , who is in
the city. Ho says lhat Now Mexico would
have boon made a state last win
ter were it not for the Influence
of the Mexicans. The old Don element of
the Mexican race Is as active in its suprem
acy In New Mexico as it ever was in old
Mexico. No legislation is effected in the ter
ritory that is not agreeable to high class
Mexicans. They , dominate the counlry Uko
feudal lords.
"Recognizing this , and the fact that it can
bo otherwise " "wo
never , says Glasgow ,
want to separate ourselves from
them. " Asked how this could bo
accomplished , ho said : "The Mexican and
Indian population are found almost alto
gether in the northern and eastern rortion
of Iho territory. The -white English-speak
ing people all live in the southwest portion.
Two weeks ago representatives from llvo
counties , most largely. American , mot at Las
Cruces and appointed u committee to can
vass Iho district and influence the people
ple in favor df , a division. To
these counties they propose to add Graham
and Cochlso counties of eastern Arizona.
The seven counties together have a popula
tion of 95,000 , almost exclusively what may
bo denominated American. The committee. "

nounced the measure ns a mockery of jus
tice r.nd an Insult to the public conscience.
Ho declared lhat the scnalc , being a political
body , could not net Impartially in the case.
This assertion caused n great uproar. Mem
bers exchanged abusive epithets , nnd the
scene was ono of wild disorder. When DC
La Fusso was again allowed lo continue , ho
said that law and decency required that Bou-
langcr bo tried nt the assizes ; otherwise , the
trial would be an outrage on justice and a
disgrace to Iho senate. These remarks
caused a renewal of Iho uproar. The mem
bers of Iho left maJo no attempt to reply ,

rule. The motion carried by a vole of53 to
24'2. A motion was then made lo begin dis
cussion of Iho bill by clauses. This was also

goslcd by Iho members of the right. A pro
posal by Uibot , that a majority of sovou-

the Theory or Insanity and
Court Adjourns Until This
Cowln'B Closing.
> U 0:80 : o'clock , yesterday morning , n dozeY
women had taken possession of the county
building stops and wcro determined to b4
first inside the court room. Janitor Lahoy
could not toll whether they had been camped
thcro all night , but ono of the woman said ta
him : "Wo got badly disappointed , yostoi >

mined to bo early enough this tlmo. " It wai
not necessary to lese sleep , however , noi
manifest so much Impatience. Whllo the
crowd In attendance filled nearly every Inch
of space both Insldo and outsldo the bar , i (
was by no means so largo ns was that of yes *
lord ay.
The doors were thrown open nt a quartos
past 7 o'clock to prevent the usual scones oi
squeezing , scrambling nnd pushing In tua
corridors and on the stairways.
Several of the older lawyers , commenting
upon General Cowin's speech , were hoard ta
sny that it was the best speech ho ever
made. Ills argument on the point , of self-de
fense was brought out very strong , and ha
was not so rambling in his olTort as on for *
mcr Important occasions.
Miss Blochlorhnd a wicrd , wild look lu her
eyes yesterday. She was paler than
usual , but she had a pleasing sinlio for hoc ,
attorneys and shook hands with them
heartily.
County Attorney Mahony did not nrriva
until after the court had opened. General
Cowin resumed his argument by referring to
the fact that , one- week ngo to-day the casa
commenced , and ho hoped it would end be
fore night. All ho wanted from the jury was
n verdict based solely on the evidence. Ha
had no desire , and hoped that the Jury would
not bo reached by
Any Uutsidq Influence ,
Further reference was Indulged In on tna
subject of Insanity , ns described by well-
known authors in the standard works. Ha
also related instances of whcro men have
been driven to insanity through political ex
citement , nnd hinted nt a case In 'this state
not many years ago. A certain man , ho was
nol named , became so shattered In mind
during n senatorial fight nnd election that ha
hud to bo confined in the state asylum. Tha
case of George Pierce , Amelia Harman ,
Mary Harris and others , In which murder
was committed cither because of deception1 ,
desertion , or ruination of character , and
which resulted in acquittal on the grounds of
insanity , wcro reviewed nt some length. Tha
general then brought his long argument to a
close iu substance as follows :
Closing Rcmnrlcs.
We nro told by Iho learned district attor
ney that wo out to have put on expert testl'
mony 16 aid you in determining whether this
defendant was sane or insane at the time tha
fatal shot was fired. I have had a good deal
of experience with expert testimony. I hava
never hud a wise in this or any olhor court iu
which , if expert testimony were brought on
ono Doiiit , the same kind of testimony could
not be procured to the contrary. Quo says
Ihis nnd another says that according to tha
side on which ho is called und the courts ol
this land have very near discountenanced
the use of such testimony. In cases of in
sanity , the supreme court of Iowa and of tha
United Slates have discarded such opinions
and lol the jury pass upon the facts ns ihcy
have thorn and the Imprcsslonsof the person !
who saw the act on the question of Insanity ,
What wo Imvo hero ns far us the testimony/ /
Is concerned. For what purpose would wa
put on testimony it nt nil ? Why wo would
introduce testimony lending to show that
Llbblo King was not responsible- her net ,
when the shot was fired. Now , the vary
witness called by the stale und whoso words
were relied upon for conviction , testifies that
the defendant was
Wholly Out of Her Mind.
Tills is the state's testimony and what niori
could wo do I
If the state had sought to overcome thi
testimony of this witness , I would have had
testimony to offer you ; but us thut wltnesi
remains uncontrndictcd , I had nothing to'ac
complish. Gentlemen , you must rcmcmboi <
that testimony Is not necessarily for convlo-
tlon because it is offered by the htnto nor foi
acquittal because It Is offered by Die defense.
In this case , I say , there is no escape from
it , the only testimony in rug.ird lo the sunlty
or insanity of the detondant is thai she was
Insane , Thoru Is nol n particle of contradic
tory testimony In thin regard. Adams und
Scott mild It , und how aru you going to avoid
the temli'ticy of this testimony which Is ao-
solutely for ncqultlal. I
The law in this , nnd It will bo given to you
by Iho court ; sanity Is presumed , but if
there is any testimony tending to overcome ]
that prcbumntion , then it is the duly of the
stale to provo to you beyond rcubomibld
doubt
That the Defendant AViiH Sana
at the tlmo of the firing of tha shot.
Thcro is positive testimony hero that sh
was out of her mind at the tlmu the shot wa (
fired , and there Is not one word going to dltt *
prove her insanity. Hence , Ihe question ii
not , Are you xatisllcd that tiho was Hanoi
but , Are you satisfied , bovond a reasonable
doubt that she was Insane nt the tlmo of tha
firing of the shotl The state would have ex
perienced no difficulty in sucurjng the tosti-
many of the conductor , porter or passengers
of the Pullman car that bore Llbblo King u
this city ; of thochlftf of police and poriona
around llio hotel at the tlmo of the tragedy ;
the doctor who has treated her over sinca
she entered the cold walls of this prison , and
Jailor Joe Miller , in establishing the sanity
of the defendant. Hut no , not ono of them
has. bcon called , und I Bay to you , gontlorncn
of the jury , that there Is not ono of the wit
nesses' ! have named could have given testi
mony conclusive as to the sanity or Iimaulty
of Libble King.
Then , when It shall bo discussed on thai
other side that the defendant was always
rational In her statements , I wish to call
your attention to the evidence of all cases ol
this kind , that. * , vhun the patient does spjak ,
she speaks the truth , and the sumo QH a
phonograph would speak , letting out what
ever has been impressed on the mind , as a
child would go over Its A Li C , but break iff
upon the relation anywherennd the narrator
cannot go on , AB ! < a child to rcclto the
ulphabct commencing ut C , and It will com

will relate just what has been nnpro sc4
