 Mir. Salisbury spoke in the same strain. He was unwilling to put power into the hands of the Secretary of the Navy to assign an officer to such duty.
 MT. Hale defended the action of the con- ference committee. If the rule was adopted that officers of the navy should not be sent on such dangerous missions, he would give but little for the spirit of the service. 1T do not want" he exclaimed, 'tto leave this expedition simply to volunteers. Careful would gladly go if commanded to do so. wish the spirit of the navy tested so that we may find out whether any officer directed to command this expedition will shirk it's dan gers"

 And the Arguments Begun.
 BATAVIA, Jan. 30.-The Rowell trial is ap- preaching it's close To-day's proceedings opened with the examination of Asa F. Law renee, of Batavia, who testified that Rowen visited his cabinet shop on October 30, 1883, and showed sketch of a cabinet which he wanted made. When witness asked ques- tions as to the drawings made by himself Powell made reply foreign to the subject about some exhibits made by witness at the county fair, which had just then closed. The interview lasted nearly OF quite an hour. Rowell's conversation was inooherent and impressed witness as being irrational. Wit ness could not definitely remember the re- marks made by Rowell, except that he asked who drew the plans of witness house, and who occupied the house adjoining. His mind wandered great deal. Witness had never seen him before.
 The defence here rested their case. Coroner Tozier was recalled in rebuttal. He produced letters which the prosecution wanted to put in evidence to show that Lynch was in Rowell's house by invitation of MT. Rowell. The deence objected, and the court excluded the letters as reopening the case for the people, and nothing would be gained.
 Sheriff Southworth was recalled and testified to frequently seeing Rowell in iail. The prisoner had many visitors from I5 to 80 daily-and he finally asked that strangers be kept out. The defend ant was cool, and spoke only when spoken to, and did not act as though he wanted to make acquaintances. During his conhne- | ment witness saw him nearly every day. He did not see him until the first of December | He was very cool to acquaintances unti 1 December 1st after that he became more | cheerful and pleasant. and conversed freely He was supplied with five or six different 1 newspapers a day. He began to keep scraI I book the second day after he was put II 1 i4iI. It contained accounts of the tragedI 1 and comments on the case taken from the l newspapers. He was fed from the sheriff | private table. He was never confined in the 1 common cell. He had room at one end oi the corridor of the jail Nothingihe said ol did impressed the witness as being irrational l The witness observed a daily improve l ment in Rowell's manner and disposition t converse after the 1st of December.
