TuE DYNAMITE TRIAL.
America Charged wnh Winkinsat Dvna.
mite Ccnspiraci.

LONDON, June II.
Clark. Q c., made an impressive speech
for the defence He appealed to the jury to
resist the popolar prejudice. Whitehead,
speaking on his own behalf, said there was
no evidence to show that the nitro glycerine
found in his factory was intended for an
illegal purpose. He declared that 1t was
meant'for mining purposes
MIR. Rowland, on behalf of Bernard Gala
CHER, made strong pleas. The latter's coun.
ell admitted that Bernard had general
know ledge of the hostile designs of the dyna-
miters, but said it must be remembered that
he was a resident of Brooklyn, and could not
be Judged by the same standard as English
men were 1t was a matter of common
knowledge that plots existed in America for
the manufacture of dy Mantle for use against
England, almost with the connivance of the
American COVER nment.
Messrs. Clark and Rowland protested
against this language. and declared there was
no proof of the existence in America of plots
or of connivance thereat on the part OF the
government. Lord Chief Justice Coloridge
also rebuked Mathinson for his sremark. He
said: II think it only due to our friendly
relations with the great government that you
unreservediy withdraw your statement
Mathinson said he would gladly accede to
the ruling of the court. The case for the
defence then closed. and Sir Farrar Hershell,
solicitor general, replied on the part of the
prosecution. Upon the conclusion, Lord
Colerdge began the charge to the jury.
Lord Coleridge said the case against DR..
Gallagher, Whitehead and Wilson was much
stronger than against the others. He de-
clared the assertion that the nitro-glycerine
was intended for legtimite purposes, was in
credible. No legitimate trader would have
carried it about London as it had been car
ried. The jury retired at 80.
At the close OF the Chief Justices charge,
the jury retired. They shortly returned a
verdict of guilty against DIR. Gallagher, viii
son, Whitehead and Curtin, and not guilty in
the cases of Ansburg and Bernard Gallagher.
The fur men found guilty were then SEN
fenced to life long penal servitude.

VERA Cruz, June II.
In respect to the report published in New
York that a malignant type of yellow fever
prevails in this city and that large numbers
are dying, it may be stated that the fever
which prevails here is Calentur This a
local fever and is not akin to yellow fever.
1t is, however, unusually severe this year.
The local authorities have always prevent
ed the publication of the number of deaths
occurring here, that the figures on that
point cannot be given. The death rate at
Vera Cruz is generally high, owing to the
fatal effects OF this disease among unacclimat-
ed troops stationed here In the years 1882
fully 10 per cent of the deaths in this city
were among the troops. The Mexican Tele-
graph Co. has Is employees stationed here, all
foreigners, only one of whom has had the
fever this season, and he is now couvalascent
and ready for duty.

In the course Of few weeks marble

ion. In Paris, although 10000 tenements
have been dealt with in the last thirty
years under the act of 1850, there are still
between three and four thousand families
living in single rooms without means of
warming, and between two and three
thousand in single rooms with no aper-
ture for light and air-cupboards in fact
Between twenty-five and thirty thousand
habitations consist of single room only
"This side of the social question:" says
the report from which these statistics
are drawn, ''has to be faced before all
others, "a conclusion which is gradually
forcing itself on the minds of men in other
countries besides France.

On The Congo.

The Pail Mall Gazette says that the inter
ests involved on the Congo are very consid
cradle. The imports of English manufac
lures are said to amount to Coco, cooper annum
Two British steam companies call regularly
ut the mouth of the river, and the gross ex-
ports and imports are stated to amount to
f2.0O0,000 per annum. The Portuguese
claim to have twenty-five or twenty-six of
the forty nine EUROPEAN factories established
on the Congo, and nine -tenths of the foreign
population is of Portuguese origin. But Eng
lsh traders deny that there is a single Por-
tugese merchant on the Congo, and say. with
the exception of few unimportant factories
on the north coast of Ambriz, Portugal has
no commercial interest in the territory
Some idea of the depth of the Congo NAV be
gained from the fact that vessels of 5000 tons
burden can anchor in the stream of Vivi
l2o miles from the sea. Above Isangila the
cataracts form the first serious obstacle to
communication with the interior. Mr.
Stanley has made road 100 miles long past
the cataracts, across which he has transport
ed to the Upper Congo three steamers in
sections.
Two steamers, the Belgibue and the Esper-
ance, trade between Vivi and the mouth of
the river, the ROYAL plies between Mangauya
and Isangils, while the En- Avant was launch
ed in STANLEY Pool on Dec. 3. 1881. From
Stanley Pool the En- Avant can steam for 500
miles into the very heart of Africa. Mr..
Stanley. who left this country last December,
is now en- his way to the Upper Congo at the
head of 800 well armed negroes from Zanzi-
bar. The Baptist Missionary Society has
eleven missionaries. four stations and one
steamboat on the river. In August. 1877.
Mr.. Stanley concluded his long march of
5000 miles from the east to the western coast
of Africa, and arrived at the mouth of the
Congo with the discovery, made at cost OF
three white men and more than $50 natives
of his escort, that the river Congo, or, he
called it, the Livingstone, was the most mag
nificent waterway in Africa, draining water
shed of $50, 900 square miles, and opening
highway for European commerce to the whole
of the European region of an almost unknown
continent.
Mr.. Stanley declared on his return that
whatever Power could possess itself of the
river would absorb to itself the trade of the
whole of the enormous basin behind, which
extends across Is deg. of longitude and COW
ers IA deg. of latitude. Next year the Inter
national African Association was formed
under the presidency of the King of the Bel
gians, and exploring parties were despatched
to open up the Congo by establishing series
of exploring stations which in time would
extend across Africa. At the same time the
French government entered upon scheme
of its own of q similar nature, and various
Adventures, of whom M. de Brazza is the
most notorious, were despatched to Central
Africa to pick up whatever unconsidered
tribes of territory might be found unappro-
priated in order to grid the continent with
the tricolor.

THE DUKES.NUTT CASE.
What Will Become Of Young Mutt!

UNIoNTowN. June IA.
The excitement has comparatively subsidized
and every body is apparently breathing a sigh
of relief now that the last chapter has been
added to the sad tragedy. Among the masses
the question is, what will be done with
young Nutt?" The people are afraid to trust
to the tribunal which acquitted the murderer.
The jury has returned the following YER
dict. That Dukes came to his death BY
wounds received from revolver fred in the
hands of James Dukes.
Hon. N. p. Playford and A. ID. Boyd have
been retained As counsel for young Mutt
aud a strong effort will be made to have Hon.
Charles f. Boyle join them in the defence
Mr.. Boyle was visited today by a number of
Dukes friend who asked him to conduct the
prosecution. but he refused. 1t is a question
whether there is a member of the bar in Fay
cite county who would appear against Mutt.
The task will probably fall to the district at
torney.
