tears ran down her cheeks and then os-
tentatiouslv wiped her eyes with fam
ing scarlet handkerchief. The alarm that
mad manifested itself among the eight de-
PENDANTS upon the first appearance of the
detective on the stand had by this time
somewhat subsided. 1t had entirely dis
appeared ut the end of the
line at which Lingg and Engle,
who know little English, were stationed.
Beyond the latter grizzly looking anarch-
ist sat his pretty seventeen-year-Ol
daughter. She leaned her elbow on one
arm of her fathers chair, upon the oppo-
site arm OF which rested the elbow of
youthful, good looking Louis Lingg. The
old man sat bolt upright between them,
apparently lost in thought, while the two
young people chatted and laughed to their
hearts content.
ALL AGAIN SERIOUS.
Even Lingg, however, grew serious
again when the detective began to re-
count his experience at the meeting OF the
armed section. held Aug. "a at No. 64
West Lake street Twenty or twenty
five men were present and two women.
A man armed with a long sword, dressed
In blue blouse and wearing a slouched
hat, ordered all present to fall In.
Whoever wished to join the COM
pany were told to step to the front.
The detective and two others stepped
forward. Upon the Captains demanding
that each should be vOuched for by some
member Of the company, the detective
was Tor the moment at loss how to pro-
ceed. TO his great relief Parsons volun-
teered to be his sponsor. At this evidence
every man among the defendants turned
lnquiringly toward Parsons. That In
dIVldual was evidently n0n-plussed.
DRILLING IN THE MANUAI
The company, the witness continued.
drilled for three-quarters OF an hour In
the regular manual. A man then came
with Two tin boxes, which he placed on
table. The drill master invited all to eX-
anime the latest improved dynamite
bombs. They were carefully inspected
by all present. AT IA subsequent meeting
OF this portion of the armed section,
which was known as the International
Rifles, or American group, Parsons
was elected Lieutenant. The question
of arms was discussed. He said:
"Lo0k here, boys, why cannot we
make a raid on the First regiment armO-
ry. Only two or three men are on guard.
The idea was generally favored but 1t
was finally decided to put the matter of
for time. The first Of May was specif-
cally mentioned as the most available op-
portunity for bringing about "the social
revolution" "The first of May" Fieden
had said, "will be grand time to strike
a blow. There will be $4,000 men out OF
employment"
The witness related a significant conf
Dental talk, giving the place, date and
hour, which he had overheard between
Flelden and Spies. Nearly one-third OF
the afternoon was given to the cross ex-
animation of Detective Johnson.

ILLICIT APPLE WHISKY.
A New Jersey Farmer Whose Enter
prise Got Him into Trouble.

SANDYsToN, N. j., July 24-There is a
government tax Of ninety cents a gallon
en- the distilling Of apple whisky. Sus-
sex county and the adjoining county of
Orange pay nearly 100000 TO the govern
ment every year as tax on the whisky
which the two counties distil. This does
not prevent reputable farmers carrying
on Illicit distilling. Benjamin Van Auken,
of Sussex county, a wealthy farmer promi-
nently known throughout the Delaware
valley, has carried on this traffic for
years, aud was only found out few days
ago. His still was discovered by govern
ment agents hidden In the second story
OF his woodshed, where, it seems, it was
kept when not in use. In the distllling
season IL was set up in cove on the
bank of the Delaware, half a mile from
Van Auken's farm house.
The inOonshiner found a market for his
Illegal goods through raftsmen, who &C.
cretly carried them down the river on
their rats. The law Furnishes Illicit dis
tllling by the cOnnscatiOn not only OF the
still and all the whisky found on the
premises, but the entire farm OF the dis
tiller as well. There 1s also a fine OF
$1,000 or an Imprisonment for long term.
In saving 90 cents gallon on his whisky
Van Auken is likely TO lose his farm and
pay the tne as we'll.

The Fisheries Dispute.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The President
to-day transmitted TO the Senate report
from Secretary Bayard, made in comp!i-
ance with the Senate resolution respect
ing the seizure OF American fishing ves-
sells. The Secretary says, pending the
correspondence, which IL Is believed must
be soon terminated in an amicable settle
ment, mutually just and honorable, and
therefore satisfactory to both countries
and their inhabitants, he Is unable to
recommend the President to communicate
its contents in its present incomplete
status, believing that to do 80 would not
DO compatible with public interests as
connected with the transactions referred
to.

PINE RIDGE INDIANS IRATE.

The Intention to Disarm Them and
Reduce Their Rations the Cause.
BISMARCK, OAK, July H.-The report
that 4,500Sioux Indians at the Pine Ridge
agency are about to leave the agency ha g
caused some excitement throughout this
section, although it is not believed that
the Indians Will carry out their threat.
The cause Of the trouble Is an announce.
ment that the Indians are TO be disarmed
and their ratfOns reduced. Up TO the
present time they have been receiving
rations for 1000 Indians, but re-
cent census disclosed the fact that
there are only 1900 at the agency.
Hearing that their rations were to
be reduced and their arms taken, the In
dians prepared TO leave the agency ana
rustic for themselves. The news was
communicated 10 Standing Rock, where
Sitting Bull and his 5000 followers are
located, and people have feared that these
might be aroused and melted by the action
of their relatives at Pine Ridge. Up 10
the present time the rumor has not been
confirmed, but there is no doubt OF the
evaporation Of the Pine Ridge Indians at
the proposed action OF the government.
