tnirable lectures, the principles Of which

NEW YoRx, July 2.-The convicted boy

den were arraigned in court to-day for

remarks to them on the lawlsOsness OF the
crime on which they were convicted. He
said that this was violation OF the peace
OF q country that welcomed foreign born
citizens to q country that offered freedom
and the privilege Of right. They had VIC.
lated public rights and opinions, and their
offenSs was not short Of blackmail.
The distribution OF circulars before

ished, would lead to savagery. They may
have been misled by bad advice, but their
counsel should have rebuked them. They
did not use the money for their own ad.
vantage and this palllated their onense.
We are told that 1t had been the custom
To rob In that manner. He would not i'm.
pose the full penalty Of the law as they
were workingmen.
The Judge thed sentenced Paul Wiltzig

A GREAT VICTORY

For Gladstone In Scotland "A UnIOnist who
Was Scared Out.
LONDON, July IA most desperate
eleCtoralstruggle between Gladstonites and
the Unionists ended to-day by the utter
rout Of the latter in the Parliamentary
district known as the Leith borough,
Mr.. W. Jacks was returned to the last
Parliament as a regular Liberal by ma,
jority OF $3.50 in total poll Of S,S40 votes
He opposed the Home Rule bill but was
nevertheless considered invincible in his
district and was nominated in the pres.
ent canvass as a Unionist to continue bis
opposition to the Premier's Irish policy.
Mr., Jacks hostility to Mr.. Gladstone
angered thousands OF the SCotchmen oil
Leith, but they looked upon their opposl.
tion to him as hopeless, and were unable
to obtain a candidate To oppose him. all
those mentioned Tor the seat had de.
clined 10 run. The Tories, in order "a
emphasize the Unionist opposition to the
Premier, withheld opposition and left the
field clear to Mr.. Jacks so that he might
90 back to the House OF Commons with q
largely increased majority.
at the last hour allowed by law the
Liberal managers nominated Mr.. Glad
stone himself as their candidate, the Pre-.
mier consenting. Thus equipped the
Gladstoneites went to their work. This
was 80 effective that Mr.. Jacks became
scared, and to-day withdrew from the
field, leaving the Leith membership to
Mr., Gladstone, who was elected without
opposition. This with bis Midlothian dis.
LriCt gives the Premier two seats in Scot
land. He will perhaps choose to sit fol
the latter, and select a reliable man to re-
contest Leith withth assurance OF success

The Mileage for the icar will Exceed Tint
of Former Periods.
CHICAGO, June 2.-The RailWay Age says
to-day: 1t is now certain that the railway
building OF 1885 will far exceed that Of the
two preceding years, and indeed surpass
that OF most oil the years In the history OF
the country. A detailed record from Janu.
ary ! to June 80, 1855, compiled from OK.
elusive official statements, show that track.
laying has already been in progress this
year in thirty.two VI the States and Terri.
tories on ninety.Beven lines and that no
less than ,755 miles Of new main track,
not counting stdinRs and additional tracks
have been added to the railway system Of
the United States since January |. The
mileage laid during the first six months
Of any year Is 80 uniformly less than one
third Of the total for the entire twelve
months that II may be safely predicted the
total new railway mileage OF 1885 will not
fall short Of 6,00O miles and may consid.
erably exceed that.
The greatest activity thus far has been
In Kansas, where SOL miles Of track have
already been added on 12 different lines.
Florida follows with 2O7 miles or s lines,
Texas with 105 miles or lines, Wisconsin
III miles or s lines. Nebraska has added
9l miles or lines. In none Of the other
States have more than 80 miles been laid
thus far, butin many OF them, as well as
In those Just named, preparations are
actively going on for tracklaying to large
extent during tho next few months. The
indications arc that the greatest activity
will be witnessed in Kansas, Nebraska,
Dakota, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, Ala.
bama, Georgia, and Florida. II is to be
noted that the construction Is mainly
going on in new parts Of the country, de.
veloping regions only in part or not at all
supplied with railway facilities.
