CUNNINGHAM AND BURTON.

A Portion OF the Argument Heard and the
Case Adjourned Till Monday.
LONDON, May 16.-On the resumption OF the
trial of Cunningham and Burton, this morning,
Mr.. Richards, counsel for Cunningham began
his address to the jury He thought that the
witnesses who had testified that Cunningham
was one of the three men travelling ir the guards
brake, from whence the dynamite bomb was
thrown which caused the explosion on the
underground railway on the night of Jan. 2,
near Cover street. were mistaken in their
identity of the man. Mr.. Richards declared
that his client was totally ignorant in regard to
the detonator found in the brown trunk, ana, in
fact knew nothing of the working OF detonater
The Attorney general, in his reply said that
Burton made his statement only after hearing
the evidence making conspiracy palpable. On
the conclusion of the Attorney generals argu-
ment, the case was adjourned till Monday. Mr..
Richards in his argument for the defense, in
sisted that it was highly improbable that Gun
nlngham would stand by when his trunk was
belng first searched by the police without max
ing som effort to secure the detonator if it had
been in the trunk, and that it was equally I'M
probable that the police were so negligent as not
to find the detonator if it had been in the trunk,
either In that search or in second one, and not
until they subsequently, searched the same
trunk third time
The crown. Mr.. Richards concluded, had
wholly failed to connect Cunningham with the
explosions of 1884. It's own evidence, he said,
showed that the prisoner was not in London
when these explosions occurred. The effort to
establish conspiracy had been equally abortive,
he said, and the statement of Detective Roper,
that he had seen Cunningham with Burton, was
a case of mistaken identity.
Attorney general James, in his review of the
evidence given by the crown, appeared to make
a strong case against both Cunningham and
Burton Justice Hawkins will charge the jury
ON Monday.

: OPPOSED TO FREE SCHOOLS.
A Crank's Foolish Utterances, and What
They May Cost Him.

They May Cost Him.
Washington Special.
Several strong protests were received from the
Pacific coast day against the possible appoint
ment of Zacharia Montgomery, of California, as
one of the Assistant Attorneys general for the
Interior Department. They are all based on
Mr. Montgomery's violent opposition to the free
school system. It is reported that Mr.. Mont
gomery. who is Roman Catholic, not only uses
the arguments of the church against free
schools, but that he goes much further in his de-
nunciations as to merit the title of crank on the
subject His favorite Characterization of the
system in his writings and speeches is "Hot-
beds of vice and crime, and nurseries of prost-
tuition" One of his arguments is that prison
statistics show the proportion of crime among
the educated is greater than among the litter
ate. He attempts to prove this by contrasting
the New England States, where the ree-school
system is widely developed, with the South
where it is yet m its infancy.
Secretary Lamar, who is an earnest friend
of educational progress is said to be very indig-
nant at Mr.. Montgomery's selection, and to
have informed the President that it will cause
the administration more adverse criticism than
any appoint ntment that has yet been made.
If Mr.. Montgomery shall be appointed he will
owe his good fortune to the sentimentality of
Attorney general Garland He and Mr.. Mont
gomery were schoolmates and fast friends in
their boyhood. In conversation with Califor-
MIA gentleman n few weeks ago, Mr.. Garland
inquired how his old friend Montgomery was
getting along On being told that he was not
doing very well, the Attorney general wrote to
him and asked him if an assistant attorney
eeneralship at $4,000 year would be any help
to him. Montgomery sententiously replied that
it would be 'Godsend." Mr. Garland then
telegraphed him to come East and he should re-
ceive the appointment

Senator Blackburn and the President.


Washington Special.
Senator Joe Blackburn had highly infam-
matory interview to-day with the President.
He says that he read the riot act to Mr.. Cleve-
land, and all evidences are corroborative of his
declaration. He told the President that all of
his Kentucky appointments had been mistakes;
that everything he had done in the matter Of
appointments had been an insult and an out
rage to the delegation from Kentucky, and he
went for Mr. Cleveland and his administration
in high handed and not altogether pious way.
Mr. Cleveland listened patiently to the Senator's
lurid speech and firally said: Mr. Blackburn,
what can do for youf
Senator Blackburn replied: "Mr. President,
you can do as you id pleaser' and turning
about marched out.
Mr.. Blackburn has written long letter de-
bouncing the administration, but it has been
withheld for three days. 1t will probably see
light soon.
