"Wo seek to show , " said Judge Doano. "that such was not tlio fact , but Instead they were Invited to the sessions and given an opixirtunlty of explaining all of the charges sot out In the articles of impeach ment. " . . The testimony was not for the purpose of Impeaching the credibility of the respond- rnts , but to show Just what they said. lint tb < t Court Lot It In , After consultation by the members of the bench , Justice Maxwell held that the testi mony taken before the committee could bo Introduced In evidence. Mr. \ \ obstcr said that after conferring with his associates ho had no strenuous objections to the evidence going before the court , reserving the right to make objection to certain questions. Judge Doano then read the testimony of Hastings , Humphrey and Allen as published In Tun HBB last Sunday morning. K. C. Kowlck was called to the witness stand and was shown a copy of 1 im UKK or September ' . " .I , IWJ. "Is that a copy of the speech which you made in the opera house in Lincoln ? ' asked Mr. Webster , who had recalled the witness for cross examination. "Substantially it Is a synopsis of the speech , lint the comments are not mine , answered the witness. Mr. Webster offered the paper in evidence. Mr. Lambertson objected , stating that the witness had not stated that the publication was a complete copy of the speech. Witness was given until the reconvening of the court to examine the article published. OIKI of tht S Kceord llook . M. L. Dow , one of the clerks from the office of the secretary of state , testified that there was a book in the olllco known as the Register of Claims. " In that book there was kept a record which showed all expen ditures for state purposes. The book wns introduced In evidence , Mr. Lambertson stating that the testimony was for the purpose of showing that had Hie members of the Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings cared , they could have examined tlio claim record , which would Irivo advised them of the great quantities of coal and flour being used at the hospital. This would have put them on their gtrird and they would have discovered that durinu' 1MK > , IHUl and IB'J-J a great , deal more money was being expended than during any prior years. 1 ho Iwok was allowed to go in as evidence. 13. C. Itowlck was re-called and upon cross- examination ho was handed a copy of the Alliance Journal , which contained the fa mous speech. , Kowick , it is claimed , wont before the board and told them that frauds were being jHirpotratcd. They not paying any attention to the matter was convincing evidence to Kewlck that it was time to strike , and put ting the idea into effect , on September 27 , IH'.fJ , ho hircda hall and told the public what no know. Mr. Webster contended that the paper should bo considered ; il. would show that notwithstanding the public , the people placed enough eonlldenco in tlio respondents to elect them a few weeks later. Mr. Lamlx-rlson contended that the paper could not bo introduced in evidence upon cross-examination. Justice Maxwell remarked that the admis sion of the paper containing the bpccch would bo considered. Witness was then shown a copy of the World-Herald containing a report of the public meeting. That paper contained a part , but not tlio whole of the speech. The copy of Trr : linn , bearing date September Sill , 1893 , was offered in evidence. This paper contained a report of the meeting and a svnopsis of the speech. Iliul 11 Tiihiihitod Statement. Fred Unco upon being recalled presented a tabulation , showing the number of cars which the B. & M. railroad had delivered at the Hospital for the Insane , containing coal , during the period of time covered by tlio .specifications in the articles of impeachment. ' What does your tabulation cover , Mr. Haco ? " asked Mr. Lambortson. "What coal Handall and the Whltebreast Coal company were paid for , the cars for warded , the kind of coal and the ear weights for coal charged and delivered. " "Wlmt"doofe the month of October , 1890 , show ? " Mr. Webster objected , saying that the wit ness had.no right to show a conclusion ar rived at xas to the number of cars which went to the asylum. The testimony would not fall within the ruling of the court as to admitting secondary ovjdcnce. To cut off discussion , Mr. Lambertson changed the form of the question and re quired the witness to give the weight of the cars as loads show. "Tho freight book shows that the llrst car billed to Lincoln at SW.OOO pounds and billed out , to the asylum by the Wnitobreast Coal company at 40,000 iwunds ; the next car was received at 30,000 and billed out at 40,000. The other cars showed the same discrepaacy in weights. " "What do the books show as to the amount of coal charged and delivered during that month ? " "I find that the state was charged with 1,094,000 pounds by the Whitebreast Coal company and Handall & Co. , and that : ut- ! 000 pounds were delivered. The amount of money paid by the state was $1,0 9.25. " Mr. Webster objected in a most vigorous manner , urging that the respondents were being called upon to answer charges not In the speculations. Anuwtirod nn Objection * Air. Lambertson replied that when it was shown that the account was fraudulent in one item , the whole item was bad. That , he said , was a well defined fraud. There was not any fraud In the quantity , but in the quality. All the ofllcials had to do was to lia o made inquiries and they could have learned. Instead of doing this they shut their eyes and went it blind. It was neces sary to show that there was fraud. "If wo show , " saU Mr. Lambertson , "that the coal company got pay for coal tha tit never delivered , wo have a right to show that it charged for a quality that it never delivered. " Mr. Webster answered such a plan would allow a man to be indicted for one crime and convicted of another. The court held that the testimony was proper , not for the purpose of making a now charge , but to show the transaction. "What do the books show for the month of November ! " "That there were 1.2."i7SO ! pounds charged and G4'JOOJ i > ounds delivered. "Did you Jlnd that any other cars went to the asylum during October mid November , " "No , sir. " "What about December ? " "There Is only a partial record of the froleht forwarded , but the yard checks ari complete , " Mr. Webster objected to the proof without the yard checks were introduced. Mr. Lambortson answered that that wa ; Just the point , as he proposed to show tin contents of the yard chocks. The court held that the witness could proceed coed , us tlio state was laying the foundation for proving the contents of the yard checks , "Can you swear that the numbers whlcli you have are the numbers that appeared upon the yard cheeks ! " "Yes , sir ; loan. " "I want to examine , " said Mr. Webster. The court granted the permission. "Did you examine the yard checks ? " "Yes , sir ; I did. " "When was it , and at whoso request ? " "in February of the present yo-ir , at tin request of the legislative committee. " lln Ilixt l < "oriottrii Something. Mr. Webster continued to object , doclarini that there was nothing to show that the cai checks showed the record of all of the car ; which went to the asylum. "You forget the testimony of Mr. Scott who tcstllled that all of the checks came u | here , " replied Judge Post. 'The witness may proceed1 added Jus Hen Maxwell. ' For December the records which I founi how , " lidded the witness , "that 1,497,701 pounds were charged and GtU.UOO tiouuds do llvered. " "Now lot us have January , 1891 ? " "I find that during that month the state was charged with 1,111,1)11 ) pounds and tha 373,000 pounds wore delivered at Hie asy lum. " "Have you the figures for Kohruarv ? " "Yes , sir ; there are l..MO.OOO charged am 107..UX ) pounds delivered. " "If you have Hie tlgurcs for March lot ui have iheml" "They are 1,000.440 pounds charged ! am 470,000 pounds delivered. " " What did you find the llgures for Aprl to bo ? " "The book vouchers and yard rheoKii shov 881 .000 pounds charged and 'JS-'tlOO pound delivered. " Fomay , the witness , could not give nny ac cunito totals , ovrinjc to the incomplotonoj vl the record * . "What do your figures for the other months of the year nhow ? " "Juno , . , " 00,700 pounds charged j 513,990 pounds delivered. " U'oliMrr lln * Hilt PI ( | > OM. At this point Mr. Lambortson stated that he would offer in evidence the tabulations for the remaining six months of 1891 , and the months of January , February and March. IK . Mr. Webster urged that he would like to have the papers until morning that he might make an examination of them. Mr. Lambertson replied that It had cost time and money to secure the evidence , and he did not think It proper that Mr. Haco should allow It to go out of his hands. Not only In the present , but In another trial the papers would play an Important p.irt If ho could not have the papers , Mr. Web ster answered , it would bo much like tying a man hand und foot and then throwing him Into the sea. Justice Maxwell settled the matter by In forming Mr. Webster that if ho would promise to return all of the papers ho could have them over night. The promise wns given , Mr. Webster ex cepting the accidents of providence and un foreseen accidents. "Mr. Ittico , have you placed In these tabu lations all of the cars covered by the yard checks and In the freight forwarded books , every one of thorn , and those that you found on the other books went to the asylum ? " "Yes , sir. with the exception of the month of March. 1SU-J. For that month the papers were missing. " Mr. Webster commenced the cross-nx- amitmtlon. but did not continue at any length , owing to the hour of adjournment having arrived. .i i".s it u'/.v.

The republicans and Carllsts are making a persistent and strong light against tlio government bill providing fora postiKmoment of the municipal elec tions until November. Both groups have fol lowed a course of unremitting obstruction In the Cortes. The deputies have sat for thirty hours without Intermission and the opposi tion show no signs of wavering. The reason given by the government for deferring the election is that at the last municipal elec tions its opponents won by a systematic and widespread forgery , and that to purge the electoral lists and to guarantee au honest vote will require several months work. The republicans prepared to lead an im mense procession of electors to the doors of the Cortes today and to present , a petition against the bill. The police forbade the demonstration. Nevertheless vast crowds have gathered around the parliamentary building and all Hit ! streets In the neighbor hood are lilled with the people who proposed marching in the procession. The corridors of the buildings are lined with policemen , several companies arc drawn up Just outside and on the avenues leading to the Cortes the number of men on duty has been quadrupled. So far the police have been able to disperse the crowds without violence. As soon as a street is cleared , however , the people begin reassembling. The government has prepared for serious trouble and has increased guards in all the house ofllccs. Each side in the Cortes say that they are determined to sit until their opponents give in. There is every prospect that the sitting will bo continued until midnight on Satur day , when it will bo necessary to adjourn over Sunday. The republicans show no sign of wavering , and promise to continue their obstruction until they gain their point. The ministers and deputies eat and sleep in the house. All are haggard and worn. The public prosecutor has ordered that the two principal republican newspapers in Madrid oo seized. Hilt CIlAtI.I' ! > lil > T ANCSHV. Interrupted liy Hid American CouiHut Ho l.m > ( M Ills Temper. PAUIS , May 11. Hon. James B. ISustis , American ambassador , was present today at the session of tlio Bering sea tribunal of ar bitration. Sir Charles Russell resumed his argument , which was largely devoted to tlio technical features of the controversy. In dilating upon tlio sei/.uros of Canadian vessels i y the Americans for seal catching in Bering sea , Sir Charles insisted that the seizures had been made upon the high seas without previous diplomatic expostulation. Mr. Bayard , when secretary of state , had never tri d to Justify the seizures on the ground that the United States had property right in tlio seals. Here followed a sharp exchange of contra dictions , in which Senator Morgan , Amer ican minister , Sir Charles Hussell and 10. J. Phelps engaged. Sir Charles got excited and angry and declared that the interrup tions were uncalled for. Sir Charles then proceeded to review the diplomatic correspondence between Great Britain and the United States on tlio sub ject of the Bering sua. Ho read extracts from a communication sent by I ord Salis bury hi reply to a communication from Mr. Blaine under date of May 82 , 181K ) , arguing that unless tlio nations should agree that pelagic healing was contra bonus , mores the seizures were not Justifiable. Tlio altercation which followed Sir Charles Hussell'a assertion that Mr. Bayard had never tried to Justify the Bering sea seizures on the ground that the United States had property in the seals was so hot that it threatened to jeopardize the whole arbitra tion. Sir Charles Hussoll , Senator Morgan , Lord Hannen , Baron do Courcel , Mr. Phelps and Justice Harlan spoke with high spirit and occasionally with bitterness Senator Morgan and Mr. Phelps declined to guaran tee that the United States would accede damages for seizures even if the tribunal de cided against them. Ix > rd Hannen exclaimed : "Then our whole arbitration is useless and the whole question will bo reoponcd. " Finally the difficulty was adjusted tem porarily by the decision that the discussion of the question of liability bo postponed. CON.snilVATlVB MANIIT.STO.

While protection and bimetallism are avowed boldly as foremost party princi ples , which must bo reckoned with by the government if it desires a flrm alli ance , anything that could bo con strued as a definite approval ol the army measure is carefully avoided. The manifesto hints at the desir ability of a large bourse tax. which would fall more heavily upon Jewish speculators. DTho anti-Semitic sentiment of the pirty is not especially conspicuous in the manifesto , but a speciously worded paragraph says thai the "profession of Christianity must bo ade quately impressed upon the life of the people - plo and the action of the legislative bodies and the administration of justice.

The Newark crew won by nearly one minute The Bancroft boat came in three seconds behind hind the Yorktown boat and by the time allowance of thirty-six seconds was declared second. In the second race a crew from the Vesu vlus came in first , with the Dolphin's boat ten seconds later und the Philadelphia's boat rowing almost a dead heat with the second Vesuvius boat , but winning by less than one foot. /.v .1 aooit ctixniTtox.

What will very likely turn out to bo the most important mining suit ever brought In the United States is now on trial in the United States court here. U Involves a question that has never yet been settled In the courts and which is a disputed one under the mining laws. The question is whether the llrst discoverer of a min eral vein , the apex ot which is on his claim , H entitled to the ore found within the walls of that vein , no matter whether it stays witlnn the lines of that claim as It deepens or goes outside. The St. Ixiuls Mining com pany of Marsvlllo is the plaintiff In the suit and the Montana company , limited , Is the defendant. The Montana company owns tlio celebrated Drum Lumnion mine , which was discovered by Thoimu Cruse , a poor miner , and sold to an Knglish svmlicate for $1,0011,000. Cruse had worked on the great , Comstoek lode In Nevada. When ho went pegging around the dirt at Marysvillc everybody there was looking for gold. Cruse saw indications which led him to believe that underground would bo found a vein very much like the Comstoek. So he located the Drum Lummon , developed it , and then sold out to the Knglish and with the proceeds started a bank. The Drum Lummon property bus since been enlarged by tn ! addition of other claims , and il is to day probably the greatest silver producer on earth. Alongside the Drum Lummon property is tlio St. Louis , belonging to William Mayger of Marysville , his brother and a few St. Louis people. The St Louis is a prior location to the Drum Lummon. The claim of the St. I ouis people in the pending suit is Unit the walls nl their vein are very near to the line dividing their property from the Drum Lummon. The vein , as it gets down , inclines in the direction of the Drum Lum mon property , they say. The latter com pany , it is contended , while keeping within their own lines , have still taken millions of dollars worth of ore from the hit. Louis vein. Hence , the St. Louis people want a matter of . ? ' . ! , f > ll,0K ) ) ( ) damages. The expense to both sides is net less than . " ) , OJl ) a day.

Passenger agents of the Central Traffic association were hard at it again today on matters of little importance , the weightiest being whether or not the little World's fair suburban station of the Baltimore & Ohio did not give that line special advantages in securing World's fair trafllc.
