The Land Leagues Troubies-Thefr Lin
OfDefense.

The Land League's TrOuble8-Thefr L1ne
efDefense.
Active preparation is going on among the
Land Leaguers of Ireland for the defense of
the agitators. The Irish Times saws that it is
stated to be the intention of traversers to Or
ganize their defense SO as to make it an ex-
haustive affair and force the Land Commission
to extend over a long period. They will e1-
anime Mr.. Gladstone in reference to his Mid
lothian speeches and his more recent utter
ances, Mr.. Bright upon his Manchester speech,
and Chief Secretary Foster both upon his
writings and his observations in the House of
Commons. 1t is also their purpose to subpoena
several landlords in Ireland, well as their
agents. Among those who will be summoned
will be the Duke of Leinster, Lord Sligo, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl Of Kenmore,
Mr.. Mitchell, and Mr.. Henry. The line of de-
fense will be as follows: They will, in the first
place, endeavor to show cause why information
should be taken against traversers. Upon this
point an interesting legal question is ex-
pected to arise. Having pleaded not guilty, and
the case having gone to trial, they will examine
witnesses with the purpose, as stated, of justi-
fying the speeches upon which it is sought to
condemn them. They intend to produce ten
ant farmers from different parts of the coun-
try. especially those districts in which the land
meetings were held. With reference to the
charge of conspiracy, they propose rendering
in evidence the work done by the Land League
in its character as a relief committee during the
recent period of distress in Ireland. John Dill
Ion, NJ. P, now absent from Dublin, will, on
his return from Nenagh, be served with sub
pena summoning him to appear before the
Queens Bench.

The Nfhilists on Trial.
 ST. PETERSBURG, May 23.-At the session of the Nihilist trials Friday night the case of Dr. Weimar, who never lost his self-posses- sion for a moment, notwithstanding that the evidence went strongly against him, was fin ished Forty y-three witnesses have thus far been examined as to the identity of the mare which drew the drosky of Mezentzoffs assas- sins. This has been done in the courtyard, whither the judge descended for the purpose, and in the presence of Weimar and Michael off. All the witnesses do not recognize the mare. The court next passed to the question of the revolver which was used in the at tempt of Solovieff. A shopkeeper affirmed that he had sold the weapon to Dr. Weimar, who then stated that he made the purchase for patient.
 Sabouroff combated the charges with the greatest confidence, precision and clearness. The evidence had reference entirely to the search made at his place of residence, where there were found complete collection of printed revolutionary documents and large number of seals which had served for the preparation of false passports and other papers Sabourof pointed out the errors committed by certain witnesses, refreshed the memory of others, and, in short, dominated the proceed ings. Experts were brought forward who classified the unsigned letters and bundles at tributed to each of the accused parties who were absent from the towns when they were posted In short, Sabouroff elevated the character of the defense, which had lost ground in the estimation of the audience dur ing the Interrogation of Michaeloff and Weimar. Up to this time all that has been charged against Sabouroff with any show of reason are his revolutionary propagandism and his constant relationship with the two first accused prisoners.
 The chemist who sold poison to Dr. Wei mar gave different date from that of the act of accusation. This created great sen- sation in court

 BISMARCK, D. T., May 23.-A special dis patch to the Bismarck Tribune from Fort Keogh says ''The last winter has been 8 bad one for the Indians, as they already be- gin to show signs of weakening and desire to surrender to the whites. Many of the hostiles have lost their ponies, large num- Der having been sold for food. They have been waiting to surrender all winter, but have been told by traders that if they did so their ponies and guns would be taken from them and every one of them finally hung. The Indians did not believe the stories, but to make certain grand council of Sioux was held and delegation of ninety chosen to visit the fort General Davidson, commanding the department in the absence of Gene the Indians to surrender to General Miles, now East. who declined to accept it, as he had nothing wherewith to support them, and informed them that they must surrender at the agencies to the military. General Miles reported the matter through the department headquarters, and received orders from General Sheridan that all hostiles must surrender internationally to the mii- tary authorities. Under this order General Hagen, Post Commander of Fort Buford, was instructed to send out detail to receive the surrender of the main band. According ly Captain Britton, with detachment of the Sixth infantry, was detailed to communicate the orders and receive the surrender of the main camp, which is supposed to be located on Poplar Creek Later advices state hat TOO Sioux under Rain-in-the-Fa Face, who killed Custer, are now short distance north of the Yellowstone, opposite Fort Keogh, and are anxious to surrender, but do not wish to give up their guns and ponies.

The Star and Herald also pub ished another article in reference to the in- terview of Dieckman, commenting in regard to the mission of the United States men-of- war kearsarge and Adams to the Laguna de Chirigui and Gulf of Dulce On the night of the issue of said article, May 7, grand sere- made was given the proprietor of the paper at his dwelling by officials and five hundred persons for the interest he has taken in defending the honor of Colombia on the pres ent and past Occasions. Hon. MT. Dieckman took his departure on the United States flag ship Tennessee on the 9th for Savani1la.
 During the afternoon of the 9th Admiral Wyman and Staff paid visit to the prefect of Colon, Senor Abello and exchanged ven timents of amity and friendship with that official.
