What the District Attorney Says in
Laying the Verdict Before the House.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-In his letter
to the Attorney General concerning the
Acknowledgment verdict, laid before
the House to-day, the District Attorney,
after giving detailed history of the case,
says: 81 have the honor to suggest that
Congress may be informed of the present
state and condition of the case, and asked
TO take some action in regard to it. 1t
cannot be expected that the Judges of the
District will continue much longer tosset
aside veldicts in this case, as there must
some time be an end to litigation.
and after three verdicts have
been set aside, it would be
hard to find fault with the court if. ON the
fourth trial, should there be one, a YER
dict to any amount should be allowed to
stand and ] fear, unless Congress
shall either direct that the Judgment
which now stands for 5000 shall be
paid, or shall modify the law so that the
connection of the government with this
case shall cease when final action shall
have been taken on the bill of exceptions
by the Supreme Court of the United States.

posted in the bank. Excitement runs
high. and but little business has been done

nawha Valley Bank when the doors were
opened at 9 O'Clock this morning, but as
every check was promptly paid the run
ceased after an hours time. During the
run on the Kanawha Valley Bank many
of the largest business men made heavy

BERBERs FATE IN DOUBT.
A London ''Times" Correspondent says
the News of the Massacre Is True.

tAH 4N0h& UA the AlASsaCrG Is True.
LONDON, June 12.-The Times last
night received dispatch from its cores
pondent at Wady Halfa. According 10
this, Berber surrendered twelve days ago,
and the reports of a massacre that had al
ready been reeeived in London were true.
The correspondent had been informed
that the rebel General Abaullhas
had collected 100000 men around
Berber. After the fall of Berber, so, 900
Arabs were sent TO invest Dongola. The
Governor Of Dongola was ignorant of the
surrender of Berber, and telegraphed TO
Wady Halfa that no news had come down
the river. This news is in direct conflict
with the statement made yesterday in the
House OF Commons by Lord Edmund
FItZmaurice, Under Foreign Secretary, to
the effect that messenger from Berber
had reported that city safe as late as jane
3. Until reports which are unquestion-
ably authentic arrive the fall of Berber is
considered problematical.
Baker Pasha has started back to Cairo
to resume his place in the Egyptian army.
I1grane Pasha has arrived in London.
He comes to represent Egypt at the ap-
preaching conference, at which, however,
he will have consultation voice only.
The preparations for the Egyptian con-
ference, which meets in London July 10,
are being rapidly pushed TO completion BY
the officials in the Foreign Office.
The Egyptian correspondence of the
government has been made public. In a
recent message to Gen. Gordon Earl
Granville, Foreign Secretary of State,
says that, inasmuch as the original plan
of evacuating Ssudan has been dropped,
Gen. Gordon should consider measures
for removing himself and faith
full Egyptians with him from
their present position. The
Foreign Secretary authorizes Gen. Cor
don to expend whatever money may be
necessary for this purpose.
In the House of Commons to-day Lord
Edmund Fitzmaurice said dispatch had
been received from Admiral Hewitt. In
this the Admiral reported that his
mission to King John of Abyssinia was
completely successful. A treaty was
signed securing free transit from the Sou
dan through Abyssinia to Massowah. An
other treaty suppressing the slave trade
was negotiated. Admiral Hewitt tele-
graphed also that he had reached the
coast of the Red Sea ready to embark on
his return.

that sum from the reserve sum without
harm to any one, invest it in grain, realize
a profit, pay of the mortgage on his place
and return the money. The investment
was unfortunate, and TO cover his loss he
took more, and so on until he had taken
S100, 600. The directors ordered his arrest.
Stanley has assigned his property and his
