RerdeII Weakens-Ee Pleads Guilty and
 Makes a ConfessfOn-His Fellow Star
 Reuters surprised-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The nonotony of the Star route trial this morning was reliev- ed shortly after the court opened by M C.. Rerde1l of the defendants rising in his place and asking to withdraw his plea of not guilty and plead guilty. There was 8 sensation in the court as Rerdell proceeded to read 8 statement giving bis reasons for doing so. He then went on the stand and under oath made confession-o the whole conspiracy. He said the bids of the combination were prepared in Senator Dorsey's house and un- der his instructions and frequently in his presence. He made trip out West at Sena- tor Dorsey's suggestion, and while there he prepared petitions to be circulated for in- creased service on the Tongue river route. Dorsey paid all the expenses. The confession of Rerden has bean the talk of the city to. night. John A. Walsh was examined and testified in substance the same as at the last trial when he gave detailed account of conversation had with Second Assistant Post master General Brady.
 The Sec retary of War sent to the House to-day communication in relation to the es- cape of Captain Howgate. The Secretary, after reciting the facts in ths case already known to the public, adds: 'It is not known to this department why the trial of Howgate was not had in the period between his srraignment and escape. The chief sig nal officer had caused the evidence against him to be thoroughly prepared before ar- raignment, and was at all times ready and anxious to give the necessary assistance at the trial. am advised that the chief signal officer repeatedly urged a speedy trial and expressed his regret to counsel at the delay in prosecuting the case on the trial caIen. dar."
 President Arthur will nominate the civil service commissioners next week.
 The President left here on the 4:20. train this afternoon for New York, where he goes to attend the funeral of the late Governor Morgan.

The Phoenix Park Murders-Testimony
 Connecting the Prisoners With the
 Tragedy.
 DUBLIN, Feb. 15.-The court room was densely crowded to-day when the conspiracy trial was resumed. As on previous occasions there were a number of privileged spectators. Besides number of police officers on duty there were several high police officials pres ent who watched the proceedings with inter est. The prisoners arraigned this morning were James Carey, Joseph Brady, Timothy Kelly, Pat Hanlon, Daniel Curley, Dennis Pagan, Patrick Delaney, Fitzharris, ali as the 'tSkin,'' and Thomas Cafrey. Witness Cahill, farmer, identified Thomas Caffrey as one of the men in the car which he saw as it was leaving the park after the murder. He could not swear positively to Caffrey. Another witness named Glenn, a bricklayer, identified James Carey, the town councillor, as being on the scene of the murders with two others, who were dressed like gentle men, The prisoners in the dock laughed heartily ~at this evidence. The notion that the accomplices were described as being dressed like gentlemen seemed to amuse them. Witness Huxley pointed out Timothy Kelley as being of the number of men standing among the trees in Phoenix Park hiding but on the watch at the time of the murders. Witness Murray also swore to seeing several men striding among the trees, but was unable to identify any of them This witness, however, was able to identify Fitz Harris, alias ''The Skin,' as standing at the head of the horse attached to the car. Witness McGee, who was passing through the park at the time of the murder testified that he saw four men s'tussling." One man fell, but he could not say who it was Joe Brady was among the number. He thought he could identify Pagan, but was not sure, and refused to swear to him. After several witnesses had been examined in corroboration of previous evidence, the court adjourned until Saturday.

Labor at Home and Abroad.
 Fror,n fhe Harffor5 T.;,,a.1

Most students of the labor question know perfectly well that laboring men in this coun- try, if they do receive twice as much as la boring men in Europe, find that their wages will purchase only half as much as the same amount of money elsewhere. The wild talk of such men as Kearney and Herr Most would have no importance or meaning what ever in this country if it were not for the monstrously unjust and inexcusable war tax ation which presses upon industry and keeps the American workingmen on hand-to mouth wages.-Neso YoTE World
 The war taxation should be reduced. The taxes on raw materials ought to be abolished, generally Congress will fail in its duty if it does not pass revenue bill quite as favora- ble as that of the Senate's bill, and reduc- tions in that could be advantageously made. But we are unable to understand how work ingmen in this-country are pressed to s.hand- to-mouth wages" by tariff that protects the industries in which they are engaged. It may be revenue tariff, with protection that incidentally comes in. But protection is needed by great many of our mechanical and manufacturing industries and even the sugar planters and the wool growers, as we'll as the iron and steel and glass munufactur- CTS, demand some protection. We are aware that the World assumes that workingmen here are obliged to pay more for the neces.
 aries of life than European laborers on &C., count of protective duties. This idea is so
