WASHINGTON, August Is. - When the
Criminal Court met this morning Mr.. Car
penter,. of counsel for the defense, con-
tinued his address to the jury. he explain
ed briefly the meaning of the term ''expedi-
ton" as applied to the star reuters, declar-
ing that the law provided that, when a
route was expedited and the number of men
and animals increased, the pay shall be pro
rata under contract, and he asserted
that it was disingenuous on the
part Of counsel for the prosecution to
pretend that the government should
have put on expeditions at lower rate. 1t
was insisted that there had been great ex-
travsgance in regard to expedition Of routes.
The defense had offered TO prove that there
has been no extravaganza, but the prosecu
ton had objected, and the court had sustain.
ed the objection. Mr.. Carpenter then pro-
ceeded to take up In detail the routes in re.
gard to which fraud is charged, assert.
ing the importance of expedited service,
and attempting to prove that importance
by reference to the geographical position
and geological formation of territory IL
which the service was to be performed
This detailed review of the several routes
occupied most of the afternoon, and at
o'clock court adjourned. Judge Carpenter
will conclude his argument tomorrow.

engineer. The river is a half mile wide at the
place where it occurred The schooner will
be repaired at once by Capt. Chas, z. Flan-
derS, an old shipWright and resident OF this
city.

cused Mr.. Callan of abusing the forms of
