Lingg expressed wish to have his say
in German. An interpreter was placed
at his service. In deep-chested tones
Llngg exclaimed: "Court OF Justice,
with the same contempt with which
have tried 70 live humanely on this Ameri-
can soil, am now granted the privilege
to speak. Ii do speak it is because in
dlgnltles have been heape0 upon me In
this court.'
Lingg declared it had not been proven
that any bombs made by him had been
taken to the Haymarket. He accused the
police OF stealing his books and clothing
IN The station and then peuuring them
selves against him on the witness stand.
"Grlnnell," shouted Lingg, "has connived
WIN miserable people to get evidence to
Kill me, when he knows | was driven to
the course | pursued 70 gain education
Tor my brothers and to lit them up"
THOROUGHLY AROUSED.
AS the youthful anarchist slowly pro-
gressed with his speech his form seemed
to swell and dilate with the intensity of
his feelings. His frame shook with pas
sion aud his gutteral voice poured forth a
torrent OF emphatic sentences in his
native language. He strobe impatiently
up and down while the interpreter trans
lated each sentence, and occasionally en-
phaslZeu MS WOrus py violent DloW
upon the little table in front
OF him. At last, turning fercely
TO the States attorney, Lingg rOared (:
"You smile because you think | will
never use bombs again. die willingly
on the gallows, with the same contempt
for death that have for your laws"
Capt. Black here asked the court to ad-
journ, as the time for doing so had arrived
and Engle and some of the others desired
to speak. The court adjourned till 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning.

ONE OF THE REFORMs.
Attorneys and A gents Not Allowed
to Deal With Clerks.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE bureau
chiefs in the different departments are
making strenuous efforts to break up the
relations between the clerks under them
and the attorneys and agents who repre-
sent persons having claims or other bus-
ness in the departments. 1t was the Gus
tom under Republican administration for
the representatives of those having bust
ness with the departments 20 go in and
out Of the various offices at pleasure, con-
ferring with the clerks about the business
OF their clients with perfect freedom.
The evident impropriety OF such
loose practices has led the new
bureau chiefs to promuigate stringent
nOn-in tercourse rules, which prohibit any
employe from talking to any outsider
about the business OF the Office under
penalty OF fine for the first offense ana
dismissal for the second. All persons
having business before the departments
or their representatives, must present it
to the heads of the departments or the
cnieis OF the bureaus and have all their
dealings respecting il with them. These
new rules bother the attorneys and claim
agents, but they have already improved
the service.

Views on the Surrender.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 7.-EX-Gov. A A. Tut
tie, of Arizona, was in this city yester-
day. In regard to the removal by Gen.
Miles, of the Indians from the Territory,
he said: "The removal of the Indians by
the general government was demanded
by the Arizona Association of Pioneer s,
by every newspaper in the Territory for
many years, and in every annual report
made by me under President Arthur's

for the same, and Secretary Lamar, in
making his report to Congress last De-
cember, embodied my recommendations,

"DO you think Gen. Miles was TO blame
for making a compromise with Geroni-
mos"
"No, l do not. | think Gen. Miles pur-
sued the only possible course to secure
peace in the Territory. 1t was Gen.
Crooks opinion, and it has always been
mine. that the capture of Geronimo on
any terms, and the removal OF him and
his men, was essential to perma-
nent peace. If these Indians
had been forced to surrender
Internationally, as the govern ment de.
manded, which it would have been almost
impossible to make them do, and had been
given legal trial for their crimes, what
would it all have done? No witnesses
were alive to prove their guilt, and they
would have been cleared for want of evi.
dence-that is, If they had not escaped
before their trial and resumed their bloody
operations.

some way of stopping the wheels of the

and disguised to see the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue so right ahead as il he

friend would have Appropriated. The
stamps provided for in the law for the
collection of the taxes therein imposed

Secretary Bayard since his return from
Russia. BUTT is understood that he has

that fthis or any other mission OF equal

Georgian Gen. A. r. Lawton, of Savan-

1t. 1t is extremely doubtful that the Aus

mInistration. The President himself, and
not, as has been so often stated, Secretary
Bayard, picked out MIR. Kelly, who had
been recommended for Consul General at
Paris, for the mission to Italy, and subse-
quently for the mission to Austria. Mr..
Kelly was refused by Austria on the
ground that his wife was a Jewess. 1t

In fact, Austria's relations with the
