Additional Testimony in the Polua Case.


mittee appointed by the Privy Council, has re-
ceived the following additional testimony in the
Polua case:
"April 11th 1881.
To HIS Honor c. C. Harris chit Justice, etc
FIR At the request of your Honor to examine
the prisoner Polua i'll regard to disease of the
heart. etc. have the honor to reply that cannot
after repeated examinations discover any organic
disease of the heart. The action of the heart is
regular, and the pulse, from 70 to So is uniform.
Only when Polua becomes somewhat mentally eX-
cited the rate of pulsatons increase, which under
such circumstances is quite common, as | have
frequently experienced the same thing even in the
ordinary examination of healthy and robust men
for life insurance etc. Ii would not be surprising
TO me if the so often-repeated examinations in
various ways and by different persons, which Polua
undoubtedly considers vitality important in regard
TO his future fate, combined with solitary contne
ment (the least endurable punishment to Ha-
waiians, according to my observatory, should
produce change in the circulation of blood. as
cannot help observing that he is, most probably
for the above reasons, not so strong man as he
when first him.

of some other medical gentlemen.

strikes of the year 1877 the Mayor of the
city of st. Louis was considerably hampered for
aid to quel the disturbances, and at that time the
First Regment-of which this company Is part
sprang into existence. They rendered valuable
and important service on that occasion, aud 50 i'm
pressed the authorities with the necessity for
such reserve force that act of the Legislature
was passed authorizing its formation. This is the
crack company of the regiment, and enjoys the
reputation of being the best drilled mill
tary body of men west of the Mississippi. Indeed,
they believe that they can claim a greater glory,
having had competitive drills with COM

Georgia, and carried off the honors and medals in
all the contests, except with the Chickasaw Guards,
of Memphis, Tenn, where they were beaten twice.

NATURALIZATION.
q Committee Whose Indignation COOIeE
on Gradually.

The members of the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds whose ire was so
aroused by the statement by Murch, of Maine,
ure recommended by his colleagues seem to have
permitted their wrath to cool without coming TO
any conclusion as to what should be done to ViR-
dictate their virtue 1t has leaked out that during
their sessions held for the purpose of
investigating the charge made by Murch.
that that gentleman put through
course of cross questiOning by Atherton,
chairman Of the subcommittee on the purchase Of
the Winder Building extension lot of such char
acte as would lead to the belief that Mr.. A. was
much more interested in clearing the character Of
the person charged with having offered the bride
than OF indicating the virtue of the COM
mittee. In his statement to the COM
mttee Mr. Murch said that he could
only say that the recommendation for the
purchase took him by surprise, as he had heard
Mr.. Cook, the chairman of the committee, and
several of the members denOunee the scheme
job when it first came up in committee, and he
could see no reason for the change Of mind which
the report recommending the purchase indicated
Had he anticipated any such decision he would
have made his statement of attempted bribery 10
the committee As it was, he did the
next best thing, by communicating the knowledge
privately to the chairman of the subcommittee,
Mr.. Atherton. Why that gentleman had takcu the
matter 50 much to heart lie couldn't say. and Why
lie should be subjected TO such criticisms from the
gentleman since ne could not imagine. Perhaps
the public will share the surprise of Mr.. Murch
when all Of the facts shall be properly presented.

holes, and has history, which, with the one it
was given to replace, will get form a thrilling
chapter in the history of the late war.
