from the jury verdict of
guilty against all the defendants; not a
verdict based on sympathy, but facts,
evidence and law. He demanded this
verdict in behalf of the people of the
United States, whose public treasury
these defendants had robbed. He de-
a verdict in vindication of his
official trusts. Defendants had disre-

and virtue Of the American people which
these men stained and blackened. BY
hat verdict injury to virtue and truth

that, too, by jury taken from the peo-
pie showing their appreciation of virtue

was decided to limit the argument to

Concerning Teas for Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 8.-A report from
to the effect that the Sec
rotary ofe the Treasury has issued an
order that samples of tea arriving in
San Francisco for Chicago merchants
should be sent to New York for inspec-
ion before the tea is delivered here,
nas caused some talk among those most
Interested here as to the reason for such
IN order, and the influence it would
have on trade in this city if the report
AZ published should prove true that
samples of all teas arriving in San
Francisco and consigned to Chicago
should be sent to New York for inspec-
ton before the tea is delivered here.
"Would il in any way be detrimental
to the tea trade in this city?" was asked
of j. w. Doane, one of the heaviest i'm
porters of this city, today.
THAT would depend good deal on
10 New York ahead of the arrival of the
tea and examined there without loss of
time, 30 as to allow the tea TO be deliv-
sred here immediately on its arrival,
such an order would not make any diff
but IL any delay Is caused in
he delivery of tea on its arrival. then
10 would be injurious to the interest of
the tea trade. We don't want to have
any time lost in the delivery of tea on
lts arrival"
The gentleman also stated that the
only excuse which could DO offered WAS
The fact that no tea inspector had been
appointed for Chicago.
"Are the tea interests of this CITY not
of such Importance as to warrant the
of an inspector for this
place In any casey"
"Oh, Yes; the tea interests of this
pity are the largest in the country. Re-
cent statistics show that far more tea
arrives at San Francisco for distribu-
lion at Chicago than arrives ut New
York. The amount OF business done is
large enough to have an inspector here
and that one has not been appointed is
ONLY because as l have already said,
no Inconvenience has thus far been ex-
perienced under present arrangements.
Should IL be necessary to have an in
spector here oxe will be appointed"
