,Iarrtck Conttnue.Hts Talk

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The twenty seventh
week of the Star route trial was entered upon
to-day in Justice Wylie's court. Mr.. Mer-
rick resumed his summing up to the jury and
called attention to what he termed General
Brad3's theory in conducting the Office of
the Postmaster General which was to give
daily mail in the Star route service to differ
emit localities throughout the West, that pio-
neers could have day mail The counsel
then read the testimony of General Brady to
the effect that he carried out this policy SO
far as able and it was his object to be sue
cessful in it. All the interest he had in the
orders was the building up of the service.
MIR. Merrick claimed that the second assis-
tant postmaster general was not sincere in
this statement and proceeded to read a sum-
mary of the amount paid for increase and
expedition which he argued was evidence to
the contrary. He discussed the proposition
that mail three times a week on all expedi-
ted schedules was bstter than a mail on
slow time and maintained that the latter was
the better. He disputed the fact that as
General Brady had said, blind man could
see the superiority of the former.
Mr.. Merrick than proceeded to discuss the
motives of Brady. In this connection he
turned to the testimony of John A. Walsh,
whom the defense had not ventured to
cross examine and who stood uncontradicted
by any testimony except that of Brady him
self, who was swearing to keep himself
out of the penitentiary. The defense
had not Cross examined Walsh because
the counsel knew from the manner of Walsh's
testimony that to cross-examine him would
only strengthen his testimonoy. They knew
from their experience in past trial that to
cross-examine him would only deepen the
impression his testimony had!made. Mr.. Mer
rick had not concluded when the court ad-
iourned

The Cherokee Lands-An Effort to Cheat
the COIOred PeopIe-A Protest From the
Latter-Other Facts sfInterest.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Two representa-
tives of the colored people living in the In
dian Territory were at the Interior depart
ment to day to look after their interests under
the act of the last Congress appropriating
$500, 600 for the Cherokee lands west of the
Arkansas river. This act provided that the
money should be paid into the Cherokee
treasury and expended as the acts of the
Cherokee legislature should direct. The
Cherokee legislature, it is claimed, took adj
vantage of this clause and passed law di-
reoting that the money should be divided
only among pure blooded Cherokees. This
act not only deprives the colored people of
their rights, but also the ShaWnees
and the Delawares. Delegates from the latter
tribes will also come on and have a confer
ence with the Secretary of the Interior. The
latter is inclined under the present phase of
the question to withhold his consent to the
deeds unless fairer division of the money is
made in regard to the rights of the colored
people. The Cherokees claim that they have
the exclusive authority to determine their
status and the government denies this au-
thority.
Civil Service Commissioners Eaton and
Gregory and Chief Examiner Lyman have re-
turned to Washington from their northern
trip. They will begin at once to make ar
rangements for the first examination of ap
plicants for positions in the postoffces and
custom houses. The time has not yet been
agreed upon for examinations and promo
tions. Mr.. Lyman said tonight that con-
siderable progress had already been made on
the work before the commission and that
the commission would be prepared before
the first of December to make fattering re-
port of the labors to Congress.
The effect of the order issued by the Post
master General on Saturday requiring the
first and second grade postmasters to attend
personally to the duties of their offices is al
ready manifest in the receipt at the depart
ment Of applications for leave of absence.

Frosted With Arsenic - Many Persons
Poisoned by Eating Pie.
CHICAGO, June 4. William Olsen and
wife, William Trowsen, wife and four chill
dren, Frank Reilly, wife and five children,
David Lisle and wife, two families named
Eilenstein and Killenstein, F. Schroeder and
wife and John Carlson were all taken seri-
ously i'll last night after eating pies from the
bakery of z. o. Eugh, confectioner at 2l6
Milwaukee avenue. The doctors who were
called in agreed in the opinion that the
numerous sufferers were under the effects of
arsenical poison. One of the pies was ana
lyzed to-day and found to contain two grains
of arsenic in the frosting and it is thought
that the poison was used in place of sugar.
The sick persons are tonight in as good con-
dition as could be expected and will proba-
bly, recover. Eugh processes himself utterly
unable to account for the presence of the
poison in his confectionery.

Gladstone Willing to Retire.
LONDON, June 4.-The unwillingness of the
ministry to discuss the question of Americas
disposition of the Alabama indemnity moneys
as announced by Mr.. Gladstone in the House
this afternoon is attributed to the fact that
he may still have to appeal to the Washing
ton government for many favors in connec-
ton with the dynamiters or other trouble
some things connected with Ireland's condi-
ton and he does not want to raise any vexa-
tious questions either new or old. His de-
feat when compelled again to go before the
country is almost assured by combination
of the conservatives and the Irish party and
his only anxiety is to pass as quickly and
quietly as possible such pending bills doz
en- in number, as he regards as important
and to raise no new issues. He can then re-
tire from public life, which he is quite will
ing to do and which he will do with title
