His Brilliant Defense.

LONDON, April 12.-Before the Parnell
commission this morning, Russell concluded
his speech in defense of the Parnellites.
He undertook to show that the money Par
nell gave Byrne, which the prosecution
alleged was to enable Byrne to escape, was
meant for the ordinary purposes of the
national league, and that Parnel did not
know that Byrne was in peril of arrest.
Sir Charles said, in concluding, that he
was trying the history of Irish revolution.
He asked that fair and generous con-
sideration be given. If prosperity is re
turning to Ireland, thanks be to God, but
affairs are unhealthy in that country where
the people considered the imprisoned mem
bers of the house of commons heroes and
martyrs.
Sir Charles declared that he did not speak
merely as an advocate OF the accused mem
bers of the commons, but for the land of
his birth and, he believed, in the best in
terests of England. The inquiry which
had been intended as curse had been
blessing; it had been designed for the pur
pose of running one man, but had proved to
be the means of his vindication.
AT the conclusion, Justice Hanen in a
note. congratulated Russ i on the bril-
liancy of his speech. Up conclusion of
tO-day's proceedings, the ( Irt adjourned
until April 30.

Pinch With Care.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 12.-The street car
lines remain tied up by the strike The
companies claim to be able to fill the
strikers places easily.
A car was run out of the Fourth avenue
barn this afternoon, with a squad of police
men on board. Before it had proceeded
twenty yards, the strikers stopped it and
ran it back into the barn. No arrests.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon,
as the Fourth avenue car was on its way
back, it was surrounded by huge and ex-
cited crowd. Finally some one set the
brake on the rear platform and stopped it,
At this juncture a squad of mounted police
dashed out of the alley way from the central
police station and rushed at full speed
into the crowd with clubs drawn. They
arrested three men and reiterated. The
crowd was constantly augmented and was
getting very violent. To make matters
worse, a number of express wagons, filled
with strikers, drove in front of the cars
and succeeded in making complete block
ale. The driver of the car finally unlocked
his horses and went off amid the cheers of
the crowd leaving the car standing on the
track
A little later, another car on Washington
avenue when on its way back was block
AIDED by two wood carts which were drop
ped on the corner of Washington and Hen
nepin avenues. The driver became dis
gusted, and unhitching his horses, drove
off. The situation was getting serious
A great many stones had been thrown and
the excitement ran at fever heat. Three
mounted police charged upon the crowd,
throwing down several people and injuring
number. Several arrests were made this
time, and one man was numerically
dubbed by six or seven policemen. The
attempt to move the cars was then
abandoned, and1 the crowd became less
demonstrative, and gradually thinned out,
leaving the cars on the track. Thus ended
the day in whichi Lowrey prophesied he
would have all the cars running on every
line before night.

SHAD SFOR EVERYBODY.
What the Fish Commission is DOing-What
Can Be Found in Utah Lake.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-No department
of scientific work conducted under govern
mental auspices shows better or more salts
factory returns than that of the fish COM
mission.
The fish commissioner of Arizona has
written to Commissioner Mcdonald that
the Indians have caught shad in the Colo
RADIO river in that territory, of a size that
amply repays them for the labor and time.
The first deposit or planting of fry was
made in that river three years ago, and has
been followed by new ones every year
since.
Lake Utah, in Utah, has also yielded
satisfactory returns from the planting of
year before last The commission states
that reports from San Francisco are to the
effect that the shad product of eastern fry
planted in California are plentiful in the
markets of that city at reasonable prices.
There now are nineteen hatchiug sta
tions operated by the commission, and
three new ones are provided for by
the appropriation bill of 1889. AT the cen
trail station in this city there has just been
completed the work of Matching out the
eggs of trout, and while fish spawn re-
quires at least half-year, in fortnight
the commissioner will start out car for
distribution. Preparations are now max
ing to hatch out the spawn by the rapid pre-
cess, requiring only ten days. When that
is completed a second car will be started.
Last year 153, 100000 shad were distrib-
uted over the country. This summers
work will doubtless comprise eXcur-
sions to the Atlantic and Pacific for new
species of fish

Biggest Jump on Record.

CINCINNATI, April 12.-Meredith Stanley,
of this city, the well-known athlete and
bridge jumper, who has challenged Brodie,
of New York, yesterday made the most re
markable leap on record. 1t was from the
famous bridge over the Kentucky river. The
height is 2S5 feet. He selected a place
where the water is twelve feet deep. At
tired in silk tights and slippers, he leaped
into the air, and doubling up his body, fell
into the water and moment later bounded
to the surface, where he was quickly seized
by his assistant in boat. He coughed
blood little while, but soon recovered and
took the train for Cincinnati. He ESCAPED
without breaking the skin, and to-day says
he feels as well as ever

The Roulanger Commission.

PARIS, April 12.-The following commits
sion has been appointed to conduct the trial
of General Boulanger and other accused
persons. Senators Merlin, Casot, Cordelet,
Trarin, Munier, Demarcere, De Mole, La
Verton, Morellet, and Humbert Assistant
commissioners have also been appointed.
A motion from the right that there were
no grounds for a judicial inquiry into the
conduct of Boulanger was rejected by a
vote of 209 to54. The Senate then resolved,
by vote of 210 to So, to proceed immedi-
ately with his trial. The decree authoriz-
ing the Senate to sit as court and directing
the trial to proceed, was read.
Several members of the right refused to
accept a seat on the senate commission.
Marshal Conrobert in an excited speech
said he would not be party to the prosecu-
ton, on such frivolous grounds, of the gen
eral who had so well served his country
The sitting was a strong one
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-04-13

LONDON, April 12.-In his peroration,
which lasted half an hour, Sir Charles
Russell said: In opening our case said
we represented the accused. The position
is now reversed. The accused sits there
pointing with indignant scorn at Walker
and Mcdonald of the Times This inquiry
will not only vindicate individuals, but will
remove all misconception as to the char
acter and motive of the Irish people and
their leaders. 1t will set earnest, honest
minds to thinking and effect a true re
Cancellation. 1t will dispel the weighty
cloud that has darkened the history of a
noble race and dimmed the glory of a
mighty empire"
At the conclusion of the speech Gladstone
and other friends warmly congratulated
Sir Charles, Parnell and Davitt.

Major Armes' Plea.

WASHINGTON, April I'm the Armes
court martial, Judge Hubbell appeared as
counsel for the accused, Captain Knox
having withdrawn. 1.-THE vacancy existing
in the board occasioned by the relief of
Captain Knox, who was selected by Captain
Armes as counsel, was filed by the ap-
pointment of Major Theodore Schwan.
Judge Hubbeu entered into an
argument to convince the court
that the case presented was one which
belonged to the civil not the military iuris-
diction, but the court decidedit was proper
case to be decided by court martial
Captain Armes, through counsel, thereupon
entered a general plea of not guilty.
Several witnesses testified as to the oc-
currence on Inauguration day when Armes
was moved from the parade by order of
General Hastings, and the encounter il the
Riggs House lobby with Governor Beaver
The testimony was generally in line with
the stories which have already been pub
liShed
