AShlNGION, May lo.-lngerSOl.
IN beginning his address in the star
route trial to-day, said the great ques-
zion was whether or not there was a
conspiracy. 1t must be proven as
any other chine; it had been repre-
scented conspiracy was hard to prove
ana the jury should not require much
proof from the government; no man
went about with placard on his back
announcing his intention to commit
crime; they did not have a band of mu-
sic and torches; all crime loved dark
ness and this crime of conspiracy must
be proven, as the government would
prove any other crime; if the arch of
evidence was not perfect; if every
stone did not perfectly fit; if it was
NOT inconsistent with every theory
bat guilt, then it fell to pieces: that
being so. then all that had been said
or addres sell against the defendants
rested ON conversation between per-
sons three or four or five years ago; it
was most unsafe and unsatisfactory
evidence; memory wrote on secret
tablets of the brain words that no
human eye could see; no man could
look on the brain of another and see
II he gave a true transcript of what
was there; yet, on that kind of evil
dence the jury was asked to destroy
regulations and tear down roof trees:
The government would have the jury
believe that Dorsey told Moore that
he dorsey was a rascal; he told him
that because he was senator and
wanted 1t kept a profound secret;
that was what the government called
probable; the jury would not bel eve
m l.a.l :
and they might if the trial
continued much longer, After the
admissions of Bliss that the only
corner stone, the only possible founda-
ton for the government case was an
agreement TO make out the necessary
papers to carry out division; what
were those papers simply documents
to enable parties to carry on
the business of a route; the
court itself had said the same orders
would have been made if the
transactions were perfectly honest.
remember his text, THAT ever fact
in circumstantial evidence must
point to the guilt of the defend-
ants. That settled the papers.

PITTsBURG, May 18.-The outlook

Element of the troubles existing be-
tween the iron manufacturers and
workmen, and general shut down of
the mills on June |, at this time APP
pears inevitable. Both sides strongly
assert they will make no concessions,
and unless one or the other recedes
from the stand taken just such an
other strike as that of last year will
be inaugurated.
In an interview to-day with Presi-
dent Jarrett, of the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION, he said that the last confer
ence between manufacturers and
workmen had been held and nothing
remained now but a strike. Coptin-
uing he said, IT the association
agreed to a reduction he would
resign rather than put his
name to the agreement. The
suggestion that the mills close for the
summer and pay last years scale fer
next fall. he said, was not feasible, as
the country was so -large that July in
one place was hot and in
another cool. Besides the sizes
of iron ore change continually and
therefore could not be stocked. Sec
rotary Weeks, of the iron association
speaking of the situation said manu-
facturers were prepared for definite
suspension of work, and when the
amalgamator's association scales are
