tlmt the resimndrnts were not given an op
portunity to W heard. . . . . . .
"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. "

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.

MADIIII ) . May 11. 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.

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.

BBIH.IN , May 12. The conservatives pub
lish this morning their election manifesto ,
which savors in almost every line of agrar-
ianisin. 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. "

American men-of-war raced for
- - prizes this
afternoon and drew another crowd of. vis
itors to the squadron in the North river
The championship man-of-war's crow of the

was a line from the Chicago to the Arethuso
In the first race , twelve-oared boats from
the Philadelphia- , Yorktown , Newark am

Nob. , May 11. [ Special
to Tins Hun. ] A severe storm occurred
here last nljjht. The water run in a
sheet down the avenue and out Main street
to the 1) ) . & M. depot from one to jthroo feet
deep. Sidewalks were llo.itliir ( around the
streets and people were wading lu water to
their knees and sometimes to their
waists gathorins up articles that had
boon lying loose when the storm commenced.
Main street was covered with water above
the sidewalks and reached from uulhllttK to
building , palls , pans , churns , brooms , cordwood -
wood , lumber , tubs and everything that
could float was making its way toward the
river at a rapid rate and 0110 tiad to bo a
pretty peed runner to gather up
his Homing chattels. Everybody's
cellar is full of water and
some houses along Washington avenue , where
the ground is low , were expected to collapse
tiny minute during the severest part of the
Hood. Some of the people living in low
places waded out and abandoned their
houses to the waters.
At the poor farm northwest of the city the
barns were set on ilro by lightning and all
the grain and hay , with ten head of horses ,
burned.
The damage to goods stored in cellars will
amount to several hundred dollars , and dutn-
ago to sidewalks and other city property can
not be estimated yet. It is thought by some
that the Hood was caused by a cloud burst
northwest of the city. Water caino down
Washington aventto in a solid sheet about 11
o'clock last night , and in less than thirty
minutes the whole lower part of the city
was Hooded.

The rise Is falling off considerably , and it is
thought that during the next twenty-four
hours it will not exceed one-tenth. The
levees are In irood condition both here and

HBLKNI , Mont. , May 10. 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. The trial
is already eighteen days old and "is just about
beginning. Minim. men say the result will
1)0 worth the expense , in a general way , on
account of Hie question involved.

Cmr.Mio , III. , May 11. President Kelnhart
of the Atchison and President .lolTrey of the
Denver & Uio Grande are to meet tomorrow
morning to discuss tlio Colorado trouble- ,
and , it is expected , by the gentlemen them
selves as well as the otllclals of other lines ,
that the trouble will bo entirely settled.
General Agent Colbr.md of the Colorado
.Midland and General Passenger Agent
Hooper of the Denver it Kio Grande are both
expected to bo present at the meeting. it
was said todaj on high authority that the
difllculties which have been harrassing the
Western Passenger association through the
row in Colorado will also be wined off
the slate and that everything of discord will
bo done away with. That there is anxiety
on the part of the Hock Island and the Hur-
llngtoii to avoid a war in rates east of the
Missouri river and they knew thai such a
condition will be the inevitable outcome if
matters are not arranged by May ' . ' 0 , tha
date on which the Atchison is to withdraw
from the Western Passenger association.
As they are tlio backers of the Denver .t Uio
Grande in its present contest with the Colorado
rado Midland , their solicitude for an earli
and peaceful settlement of tlio present difll
culties is expected to have strong bearing on
the final outcome.
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. It was decided
that it did not.
Tlio earnings of the Atchison for the
fourth week of April were $870,400. against
$ S'"JiS3 for the same week last year. The
entire system earned for the bame week
