A SERIOuS CHARGE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. AFTER argument
to-day, Judge Wylie said he learned that
members of the jury had been approached
in the most disgraceful way in attempts
to influence their action. He first heard
it week ago by positive and direct in
formation. He then advised the jurymen
to say nothing, as he didn't want to stop
the case. In the past "a hours, however,
these wolves that surrounded the jury ha
become fiercer and bolder, and upon hear
ing of one attempt more brazen and vii
famous than others, he felt such indigna-
ton that he nearly advised the juror to
shoot down such man on the spot.
He had not advised it however. He now
advised the jurymen to spurn such men
" ith the toe of ther foot, and turn from
them with scorn. He warned these men
that they were not to comment such out
RACES without punishment. After this
trial. perhaps an investigation would fol-

NEW YORK, Sept IA Herald Wash
ington special says: Those who have
watched the progress of the trial predict
hung Jury, and outside of the prosecut
ing attorney there are very few who look
for verdict of guilty against any of the
defendants, unless it be Berdell and Vaile.
Ex-senator Dorsey has claimed all
along that he viii be acquitted. There is
much interest felt in the charge which the
court will make, Judge Wylie having sew
eral times during the trial expressed the
opinion that conspiracy had been estab
lished by the government. The jury how
ever, will decide which of the parties in
dicted in their opinion were in the con-
spiracy.
Why had not McSweeney disproven all
charges, as he promised to do? He had
left out of court, all the documents, letters,
books, esc Why didn't Brady produce
the records of his office? This was the
man who was deceived when indicted,
turned around with his cold blooded,
vicious, callous nature and said: All,
was cheated, | was deceived, these men
are rascals and rogues. He
was a good judge of rascals, and
was right. He surrendered them all,
and was virtually testifying against his as
sociates to save himself These men would
willingly convict Berdell to get the ring
leaders off. In conclusion, he felt it neces-
sary to make dry resume, which he did
from his notes. He thought he had shown
S. w. Dorsey to be the originator of the
whole scheme. In SO cases this Innocent,
ignorant man was concerned. Should he
be shielded because he was a senator?
Better abolish the Senate than make
sanctuary for scoundrels.

TARIFF COMMISSION.

CHICAGO Sept THE tariff commits
sioners arrived and began the session at
II o'clock. J. A. Whittier, president of
the Saginaw, Mich, board of trade, spoke
for lumber interests of then orthwest and
read paper showing the magnitude of the
trade, as an argument for the maintenance
of the present moderate tariff on lumber of
10 to IS per cent. Michigan in 1881 pro-
duced 4, 100000 feet of lumber. The total
value of the forest products last year was
over $50, 900, 900; $40 900, 900 capital are
invested in business; $4,000 men are en-
ployed at average daily wages aggregating
$103, 900. Wisconsin and Minnesota pro-
duce about the same amount of lumber as
Michigan, and these three states furnish
one third of the total of the United States
product. Canadian labor was thirty per
cent lower than ours. The tariff on Ium-
Der pays a revenue of a million dollars an
nually and has helped to keep up wages. He
held it was impossible to preserve Ameri-
can forests. Ezra Rust, of the Saginaw
board, made additional statements in the
same interests.
