THE sTAR-ROUTE TRIAL.


Mr.. Bliss Apologies to the Jury for the
Length of His Argument.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Mr. Bliss began the
fifth day of his address to the jury in the
star-route trial this morning. In speaking
of s. W. Dorsey, Bliss asserted that the proof
was conclusive that he had engaged in the
mail business while in the Senate, and the
whole scheme originated in his fertile brain.
When he had spent as much money as he
could afford, Vale had been taken in to fur
nish further capital. Evidence was quoted at
length to sustain this allegation
Foreman Crane at one time interrupted to
inquire why john Dorsey sent two afidavits
concerning one route to Rerdell upon the
same day.
Bliss promptly answered that John Dor
sey's statement upon that point was a lie,
and the evidence showed it.
Just before court adjourned Bliss apollo
gized to the jury for the length of his ad-
dress, saying that they had showed such in
terest that he felt it necessary to go into GER
tain subjects at greater length than he had
intended. If the court would adjourn he
believed that he could finish within short
time on Monday morning.
The foreman of the jury objected to ad-
journment over Saturday. He said the jury
had been in court over five months
one-seventieth of the average of a human
lifetime His business had been drifting
along like ship without rudder, and
moreover he feared if the trial were spun
out much further it would be brought to a
close by the death or sickness of some of the
jury.
Judge Wylie assured Mr.. Crane that the
trial was nearer the end than he imagined.
He believed the present good health of the
jury was owing, in degree to the rest af-
forded by the adjournments over Saturday.
Adjourned until Monday.

The Part Taken by Postmaster-General

Ian.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Just a week ago to-
day (Friday) the President asked Postmaster
general Gresham for his opinion with regard
TO the judgeship, and the latter gave his
opinion. He had told candidates and 9TH
ers before leaving home, that he would not
say anything to the President on the Judge
ship question unless he was asked to give ex-
preston to his views. He kept his word.
When the President asked his advice how
ever, he gave it, and said frankly that in his
opinion the appointment of judge from
outside of indianapolis would give greater
general satisfaction throughout the State The
Attorney-general was very favorably dis
posed toward Judge Woods, and had recon-
nlended him to the President General

and vouched for Judge Woods most heartily

That suggestion is that Senator Voorhees, be

the Senator will accept the nomination, he

HOLMAN AND GRAY.


The Coming Contest for the Democratic
GubernatOrial Nomination.
Correspondence Cincinnati Eews-Journal.
Mr.. Holman's candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Indiana is likely
to give Governor Gray trouble. Holman is
proposed by Dick Bright, although Lycurgus
Dalton, clerk of the folding-room Of the SEN
ate is the spokesman. The suggestion is
being well received by Indianians here. Hol-
man would make a strong race and an excel
lent Governor There is no man in the coun-
try that has more extensive knowledge of
the public lands, and the questions growing
out of their appropriation to the several Pa
cifc railroads. He would probably make his
canvass exceedingly interesting to the farm
ers while his half-hearted position on the
tariff question would be of less consequence
in a campaign that is to be fought upon that
issue. There will be plenty of able speakers
to make the air resound with -for-reve-
nue. arguments while there are very few who
are prepared to treat the public lands spoia-
ton as exhaustiYely and intelligently as
Holman.
The difficulty will be to secure the nomi-
nation for him. His contest for the nomina-
ton in 1876 embittered Landers and his
T friends against him, and the lapse of time
has not proved healing balsam for all the
old sores of that year But there is strong
opposition to Gray especially among the old
Democrats, who have not found it convenient
to forget that but for Gray there would not

MURDOCH'S HAMLET.

special 10 the IndianapolIs LonrnaL.


CINCINNATI, May 4. The performance of
"Hamlet," tonight, drew out more people than
the hall could accommodate, local favortism
contributing largely 10 the result, as James f.
Murdoch, the veteran actor and a resident,
played the title role. To those who had never
seen him act, and who knew him to be an
old and feeble man, his performance was o
most agreeable surprise, and it a fine ex-
ambe of legitimate acting of the old school. His
reading was most intelligent and expressive, es.
pecially in those passages where Hamlet is
most given to philosophical reflection. In his
younger days Mr.. MurdOch's Hamlet must
have been surprisingly great performance;
now it has much interest In ITSELF and more as a
reminscence.
Tonight the cast was very strong, with McCul.
Tough as tho ghost, Barrett as Ho
ratio, Ellsler Polonius, Good
win as the Gravedlgger, and Miss
Wainwright as Ophelia. IN the latter
assumption the lady named made one of the
most decided hits of the festival, and was hon.
ored by two calls in the middle of the act, which
is very unusual proceeding. Nat Goodwin
displayed his versatility by very clever per-
formonce of the GravediG9er, his business be.

THE PENSION LIST.
An Enormous Job of Printing for the Gov
ernment Office.

WASHINGTON, May 4,-Commissioner of
Pensions Dudley has notified the Govern
ment Printer that the list of pensioners of
the United States is ready for the compost
tors, and it is probable that the work on this
document will begin July l, 1888 In re-
sponse to the demand for this information
Congress at its last session authorized it's
printing as an executive document for dis
tribution. The Pension Department, how
ever, has delayed furnishing the manuscript
until this time in order that necessary COR
rections may be made up to Jan. /, 1888 An
idea may be formed of the extent of the
work when it is stated that forty eight vol
umes of 600 pages each will be required to
fulfill the congressional enactment. des-
perate fight was made when the measure
was pending to secure its recommittal to the
printing committee, among the reasons as
signed being that it would not only be too
expensive but injudicous to authorize the
publication of such list. The clamor
throughout the country, however, induced
a change and the work will have to be done.
Orders have been given that it shall be of a
confidential character, and all the proofs
must be sent to the Commissioner of PEN
sions for such use as he may see fit.

REBATE CLAIMS.



ington District.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The collector of in
ternal revenue for this district made a de-
cision yesterday which, if there were any
likelihood of its being upheld at the Treas
ury Department, would create a sensation
among dealers in tobacco. One of the latter
appeared before this collector to take the
necessary steps to perfect his papers claim
ing rebate. The collector asked him if he
had paid his tax as dealer, which was due
on the first of the month. On the dealer s
saying that he had not, and that it had al
ways been the custom to allow few days
margin for the payment of this tax, the col
lector informed him that the government
could only recognize as dealers those who
had actually paid their taxes as such on the
1st day OF May, and only those who had thus
paid on that date could file claims for re-
bate. The law officers at the treasury upon
hearing informally of this preposterous de-
cision, decided that of course it would not
stand, and that ordinary accommodation
would be granted dealers in the matter of
paying their taxes, and every facility would
be given them in filing their claims for re-
bate The approval of the decision of the
Washington collector would throw out the
claims of very large proportion of the deal
ers OF the country.
