Star-Route Trial.

WASHINGTON, May bliss argument
in the star-route trial this morning turned
upon the petitions connected with the va
rious routes, and Miner was made the OBJ.
ject of particularly bitter attack. He
showed that two routes had been increased
and expedited ut great expense by Brady,
solely upon the recommendation of Dillon
and Billings, railroad presidents, yet Brady
had pretended he was fighting the railroads
IN the interest OF the star-routes. Dorsey
had procured railroad passes from these
gentlemen for his agent, and il was a clear
case OF scratch my back and I'll tickle
your elbow
Bliss then took up the evidence relating
to the routes, and rapidly reviewed IT,
passing over the MINOR points with mere
mention and bringing out in strong relie1
what he described rs the more haIrsnt
ollenses. OF an order for increase on the
Francis and Clifton route, he said they had
remained unrevoked until congressional
investigation caused cleaning ub of the
dirty house of the second assistant pos,
master.general. The remainder of the day'.
session was consumed in careful review o.
the evidence concerning routes and al
elaboration ofpoints made by ker. Wher

stili Scoring Sargent.

BERLIN, May 1.-The Nord Deutche Zei-
tung commenting on the interview with
Sargent, the American minister, published
in the Berlin Courier, In which Sargent
denied he had written any article to the
New York Handel's Xsitung on the subject
OF American pork, says the best answer to
Sargents statement therein is simply TO
reproduce the article which appeared In
Handel's Ieitung with Sargent's signature
attached. Sargent should explain how his
signature appeared without his protest or
subsequent correction from him. The Nord
Deutsche Ieitung declares II will never at.
tack the minister Of friendly state when he
is acting In his official capacity. II has
only reference to newspaper articles which
contained false articles in regard TO Ger.
many. II will be glad to hear that the sig.
nature Of Sargent thereto was mistake.
lNorE.-There seems TO be some coniu.
sion in Germany touching tho communca-
,ion OF Sargent. What was printed In the
Handels Xeitung over Sargent's signature
was his report to his government. That re-
port was printed in he consular reports
and was reproduced In Handel's Zeitung
