The Beecher Casc.
NEW YORK, June 7.
The Brooklyn Courtroom was
crowded, as usual, this morning.
Evarts continued the summing up of
the defense, saying it was not his pur-
pose to treat of all the random inter-
views in the years following 1870. 1t
is we'll, however, to call 10
the meeting on the 3D. of January, in
which it is alleged that Beecher told
Tilton that he was ready to comply
with the demand for retirement If in
sisted on, and that if Tilton said so the
renting of pews should not go on.
The absurdity of this was apparent.
There was an extraordinary interview
in February, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the paternity of the boy Ralph.

power of human language could pre-
SEM an absurdity. Tilton testifies that
Beecller told him he had nc faculty
for dates and made no record, but be-
lievedin his soul that the date assigned
by Mrs. Triton was the correct one.
Beecher, in his testimony, indignantly
denied Tilton's statement OF the sub
stance of that interview, and said it
was about Tilton's immortality, and
though this conflict with Tilton's ac-
count, on being recalled, the latter only
denied an unimportant part OF Beech
er's testimony.
A big Gold Story.
CHICAGO, June 6.
The I11bune's Sioux City special
says: Winget IL Chapman's pony ex-
press brought in yesterday some Of the
finest specimens of gold quartz ever
seen in that country, The pieces OF
rock found contain from one-eighth to
one-half gold. Miners from Colorado
and California say they never saw
specimens of equal value in any III
try. The qua.tz was obtained from a
party OF five, who had been in the Hills
since March last but were obliged to
come out, as the Indians were SO
troublesome they could not safely re-
main. They say there are miles of a
ledge containing specimens like those
they brought in.
Secretary DelanO will mot Resign
The Failure of the Indian NegO-
Observation-Disclosures.
WASHINGTON, June Z.
A rumor has been circulated that
NI.~ I,ol .nas,. 10 i,
effect July LIST, and that ex-senator
Scott, Of Pennsylvania, would be ap-
pointed in his place. Secretary Delano
SAYS the rumor has not the slightest
foundation.
AS the visit of the Sioux Indians
here to negotiate for the relinquish-
ment of their possession of the Black
Hills has proven a failure and the In
dams left here much disappointed,
difficulties are apprehended with the
whites seeking gold in their country.
1t is estimated by agents that the
Sioux can muster from 5000 to 5000
warriors, about half of whom are
armed with rifles and the remainder
with bows and arrows. The Govern
ment, in the meantime, will endeavor
to prevent adventures from going TO
that country, still having some hope,
through the medium of commission
ers, to effect a treaty with the Sioux.
The Treasury Department has in
