for TRIAL KS

q" =
WASHINGTON, December lin the Su-
preme Court, of the district, at the crimi-
nal term this morning, all the jurors sum
moned being in attendance, the District
Attorney announced that the Government
was ready 10 proceed in the case of the
United States against Thomas ]. Brady
ond others.
Ingersoll submitted motion for con-
tinuance of the case, on ground of the i'll
ness of Stephen w. Dorsey.
Judge Wylie overruled the motion. In
gersoll accepted the ruling and asked time
TO 60 to his clients room and procure his
signature, for which purpose a recess was
granted.
At noon Wilson read a long affidavit
swornl to and signed by all the defendants,
setting out that they cannot safely go to
trial at the present term because of acts
of officers Of the government in endeayor-
ing to influence opinion against them and
lntimidate and Coeree
witnesses, jurors and officers of the court,
reciting the arrest of Dickson, the removal
from office of Henry, Ainger, and others,
for the ayowed reason tnat they were in
pressing the belief that IN the selection OF
the talesmen influences prejudicial TO the
defendentS would be set at work, and that
the appointment of McMichael as marshal
of the part, that the scheme Of the affidavit
also charges that Judge Wylie is so bigoted
and prejndiced against the defendants that
he cannot fairly and impartially administer
the law, and concludes by requesting a
continuance of the case to the next term.
Judge Wylie said the paper was
An Insult 10 the Court.
Bliss compared the proceedings with the
Tweed trial.
Ingersoll disclaimed any intention to
offer an insult, whereupon Judge Wyhe
said: "Well, you may file the paper; but
/ shall hear no more about tho melton fora
continuance of the case on account of Dor
sey's illness being refused" The motion Of
Wilson calling for bill of particulars was
oyerruled.
Attorney General Brewster occupied a
seat in the court.
Various preliminary motions made on
the last trial were renewed, and rulings
then made were repeated. This brought
the case down to the selection Of a jury.

PHuADKIpHIA, December 7.--It will Be
remembered that Don Cameron announced
TO his friends during the last campaign that
he would willingly give up his seat In the
Senate il he could do 30 without laying
himself open TO the imputation that he wa
forced to it. Don's doggedness. therefore,
lies in the way Of change In his political
relations, unless way Of escape that Is
creditable opens to him. 1t is understood
that Secretary Folger " ants to retire from
the treasury department as soon Is he can
decently, and that Cameron Is willing 10 be
his successor; but Folger's terrible defeat
requires him to be retired in the genuest
manner by some prominent foreign ap-
pointment, to save him political disgrace,
and Cameron's loss OF the Legislature with
the whole State administration in Pennsyl-
vanis, .embarrasses Cameron's transfer to
the cabinet as il would send Democratic
Senator in his place.
He May Deal Win the Democrats.

ment OF Cameron from the Senate and his
appointment to the Treasury portfolio may
come to pass before the close OF the session,
Notwithstanding the Gel tainty Of Demo
cratic successor in the Senate. Cameron 10
implacable in his hostility to the INDIE

the belief that he is now contemplating
deal with some OF the Democratic leaders
OF Pennsylvania, by which he hopes TO se-
cure substantial control of the organization
of the Pennsylvania Senate for his own
personal ends and to unite faction OF the
Democracy with him for future offensive
and defensive political operations. II that
programme can be carried out and Demo.
