That Cunningham and Burton, Suspected
Dynamiters, VIII Be Convicted.
LONDON, May l2.-The dynamiters, Gun
ningham anG Burton, charged with treason
felony and suspicion of being implicated in
the recent tower and parliament building
explosions, were arraigned for trial Monday
in the Central criminal court A large
crowd assembled in and around the build
ing in which the courtroom is located, and
many of them besieged the officers on guard
with entreaties to be allowed to enter the
trial room. None were admitted except
those having passes from the proper author
tiles. When the time for opening the pro-
ceedings arrived the courtroom was liter
ally packed. The prisoners were brought in
handcuffed and surrounded by strong
guard. Among the spectators were scat
tered scores of policemen in citi-
zen's attire, who were present apparently
for the purpose of preventing any demon
stration on the part of the prisoners friends,
should any gain admission. Fifteen jurors
in the panel drawn for the trial of the case
were objected to before jury was obtained.
The attorney general opened the proceed
ings, briefly stating the facts of the case as
it stood His remarks did not differ mater
lily from those used in his previous ar
raignment of the prisoners. He con-
cluded his address by saying that it was his
firm belief that the prisoners were guilty Of
the crime charged, and that he had no doubt
the jury would so find when the evidence
had been submitted. At the conclusion OF
the attorney generals address the witnesses
for the crown were called to the stand Be-
sides the evidence introduced was that taken
at the inquiries into the explosions at Vic
toria and Ludgate Hill stations in the under
ground stations.
The testimony Of the government is quite
strong for a case of this kind, and convic-
tion is almost foregone conclusion The
theory of Cunningham's defense is that the
crown witnesses are mistaken as to his iden-
tity. Burton will attempt to prove an alibi.
| The defense in the two cases will be entirely
separate, and conducted by different coun-
sci, except that Stephen J. Meany assisted
both the accused in the preparation of
papers and the collection Of evidence. 1t is,ex-
pected the trial will last three or four days.

after the adjournment granted permission

present To this the counsel objected, but
the governor was obdurate and refused tC

withdrew and asserted that they would

TORONTO, May II There is intense ex-
citement here over the news of the fight at
Batouche The most reliable reports indi-
cate that Middleton's forces attacked the
rebels Saturday, but failed to dislodgs them
from their position. At 5 o'clock
in the morning the Boulten scouts,
royal granadiers: A battery, and the
Twentieth battalion, with the Winnipeg
battery, left Gabriers crossing and marched
to Batouche seven miles distant, where

the rebels pouring volley after volley into
her. Battery A and the scouts advanced
with gatling gun, and the rebels
retreated into ravine near
the river. The gatling gun was operated
by Capt. Howard, of the United States
army. Gen. Middleton, after relieving the
steamer, determined to dislodge the enemy
from their position in the ravine,
but failed to do so after several
hours fighting At night he camped on
the field and it is believed the fight
has been renewed. Middleton's losses were
six killed and eighteen wounded. The loss
of the rebels is reported at seventy five
killed. The priests at the church in Ba-
touche informed Gen Middleton that Riel
had sent the women and children to safe

WASHINGTON, June 7.-General r. B.
Rrinkerhoff, of Ohio, who was delegate
to the late commercial convention at
Atlanta, is now in Washington
as delegate to the National
conferences of charities and correc-
ton. He spent the time
between the convention and the con-
ference in making leisurely journey
through the states of Georgia, Alabama,
Florida and South Carolina, the trip be-
ing primarily to see what they were do
ing there tor their dependent and crimi-
nal classes. General Brinkerhof found
that everywhere, except In Georgia, the
vicious system of leasing conyicts was
rapidly falling into disfayor and disuse
He visited many jails and found them
no worse than those of the north, which
for those schools Of vice, was the best
he conld conscientiously say. He visited
several industrial schools, both chart
table and reiormatory, and found them
admirably managed. The several State
insane asylums were under the control
of humane and cultured officials, and
that at Tuscaloosa, Alabama,was worthy
of unbounded praise.

pletely wreck the system. To prevent
this terrible disease, recourse should
be had, upon the first manifestation of
trouble, to Hostetter's Stomache Bit

be highly effective as means of i'm
parting tone and regularity to the organs
Of urination, as well as to the llVer,

the elimination from the blood OF i'm

are most important outlets for the es-
cape of such impurities.

FAILURES.
Eek Governor Hale's Unfortunate schemes

Ex-Governor Hale's Unfortunate schemes
Boston, June 7.-Ex. Governor Hale's
failure has involved a large number OF
Boston people and banks. G. A. Parks,
of No. IL Milk street, Boston, is in
volved to the extent of 100000. The
Commonwealth National, the Massa-
chusetts National and the Freedman's
National hold mis- paper. They say they
are secured. Hale was interested in the
Boston, Winthrop 81 Shore railroad to
the extent of $4,000. Henry Hale, OF
New York, brother of the ex governor,
IL said TO BE- involved $4,000, and John
Hale, another brother, $4,000. 1t is
stated that Governor Hale, while here
recently, claimed to he worth 100000
more than he owed. He was trying to
negotiate some of his paper. 1t Is said
that the MASSACHUSETTS, National bank
holds Sc, 900 worth of trade papar,entirely
secured. One OF his unsuccessful enter.
prises was the Lebanon Wooden Mill, OF
Lebanon, New Hampshire, ON which,
is alleged, he sunk over $4,000.
Another unfortunate scheme was tho
purchase OF an island near San Fran
cisco, with the idea of starting man.
moth sheep or cattle rancho. Another
project was salt mountain at Santo
Domingo, which he supposed TO be q
mine of wealth, but which failed to pan.
Governor Hale was interested in mines
in Idaho and other places and it is said
that numerous New Hampshire farmers
invested aud lost heavily. Another
scheme was the purchase of the Hotel
Avon, in this city, which also proved
disastrous. Mr., Johnson, proprietor OF
the Quincy House, who has mad large
dealings with Mr.. Hale, states that he
believes the Elk governor spent $4,000 In
securing his gubernatorial election.
Governor hale's property in Suffolk
county. this State, has been attached by
Mr.. Johnson for 100000. Sensational
developments are promised shortly.

a Down Town nIerehanr

Having passed several nights dis,
turbed by the agonies and cries OF suf-
fering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
was Just tho article needed, procured a
supply Tor the child. On reaching homo
and acquainting his wife with what he
had done, she refused to have it admins
tered TO the child, as she was strongly in
favor of homeopathy. That night the
child passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the day
| following the father found the baby still
worse, and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in The morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the dr"'ption prac-
ticed upon her, has continur'! 70 use the
syrup, and suffering, cryius ,bies and
restless nights have disappeared. A
single trial of the syrup never yet failed
to relieve the baby and overcome the
prejudice of the mother. Sold by all
druggists. 25 cents bottle.

1t Was a Canard.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Commissioner
Eaton being asked to-day what founda-
ton there was for the runners pub
lished in some of the papers lately that
there had been collisions between the
civil service commission and the
heads of departments, or an unfriendly
spirit manifested on the part of the lat
ter, especially on the part OF the score
tary of the interior toward the commits
sioners, said there is no foundation what
ever for such rumors. They appear, he
says, to have their origin among the en-
emies of reform and of the policy OF the
administration. No head of depart
ment has shown any disposition toevade
the rules or to embarats the commission.
The story about the commission rebuk-
ing the secretary of the interior in con-
nection with desired certificatioA from
Dakota was utterly baseiess. Secretary
Lamar has done nothing OF which the
commission has the least ground OF COM
plant.
