STAR ROUTE CASE.
WASHINGTON, March LIN the star route
trial to-day Reerdel testified that Dorsey
agreed to pay him $4,000 at the end of
the contract term, contingent upon his
proper conduct, the conduct of the bust
ness, and upon the profits of the concern.
AT the conclusion of ReerdeFs testimony
Jas. w. Bosler, of Carlisle, Pa, was called
to the stand. His testimony only consist
ed in the statement that ne had been una
BILE to find the letters from Dorsey and Rer-
dell to himself, and not believe he had ever
received such communications.
From testimony given by Western Union
officials it appeared that the telegram
from Dorsey to Reerdel had been de-
stroyed, understanding the rule requiring
the destruction of messages af-
ter being kept six months.
Reerdel was recalled and said Dorsey
wrote letter to Boster May -, 1879.which
witness copied in the letter book. 1t first
proposed to Bosler to take an interest in
the business. Then followed statement
as to how much Dorsey had already paid
out, etc. 1t gave the amount paid to IT. j.
b." $4,000; amount credited rs. W. D.
| $4,000. The profits at that time were
| $4,000, and there would be $4,000, or
| $4,000 more to be paid ST. ]. B." The
second letter, dated May %, 1880,
was from Reerdel to Bosler. 1t tells
Bosler that witness has been sabpoenaed
to appear before the appropriation COM
mittee and bring Dorsey's books, but he
says he will not do so unless he has an
order from Bosler or Dorsey. The dis
closures would be damaging to Dorsey in
various ways, and the witness would en-
deavor in every way to delay his examina-
ton. Bosler is informed that Senator D.
is very much alarmed, and that he had
made valuable suggestions concerning the
books which witness would follow.

THE TARIFF CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
The conference committee on the tax
and tariff bill adjourned at midnight till
$3.50 a. m. tomorrow, leaving all the most
important points of the controversy in re-
gard to the tariff rates still unadjusted, the
conference members saying it was practi-
! cally q senate bill and as such when in
conference committee the senators ought
to expect that the house would insist on a
modification and it was but fair to con-
cede to the house conferrees that right in
this liberal expression. Senator Sherman
was Joined by Mr.. Malone. The chairman,
Messrs. Morril, Aldrich and McDill favored
the lower rates and were joined by Mr.Car-
Isle.
In nearly all their differences the com
mittee was divided as between the senate
and the house members until towards the
close, when Messrs. Sherman and Malone
| showed an inclination to join with the
house conferrees. 1t is thought even by
some members of the conference commit
tee, that the chances for an agreement
upon bill are very slight, though the sit
uation is such as to render it possible that
an agreement may be reached in very
short time tomorrow morning.
