Yesterday Arthur A. PomerOy, alias

Jury was very strong, but the jury evil
IDENTIFY thought the prosecution had the
best side of the case. The evidence
against Pomeroy was very convincing.
1t only took the jury about an hour to
decide the case. In returning verdict
of guilty the jury recommended a mer-

offense is not less than one nor more
than FIVE years Imprisonment. 1t is

I CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The trial of the
suit of Lawyer Riddle against Alfred
Post has been in progress in the circuit
court for some days. Post had finan-
cial ''snap" called the 'Western Freight
Bureau" based on lines very similar
to those laid down by Ferdinand Ward,
of New York. OStenSibly the bureau
undertook to collect claims of indi-
viduals against railroads for damage to
freight and the like. He took Sundry
capitalists of this city into his confidence
to the extent of assuring them that their
claims could be bought up at heavy
discount and collected in full, making
fabulous profits. He was a smooth
talker, and roped in anumber of men of
means in amounts said to aggregate
about 100000. Finally the crash came,
and Post got rapidly across the rim OF
Uncle Sans jurisdiction. The case
now on trial is the suit OF his attorney
for about $4,000 in fees for services.
Mr.. Riddle was on the witness stand to-
day, and read letters written to him by
Post while in exile. In one of them,
Post wrote as follows, the munger"

He VIII No Longer be Represented Be-
fore the Commission by Counsel. !.
LONDON, July 16th.-Upon the opening
of the Parnell Commission this morning
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for ParneIl
stated that after full consideration of the
situation, Parnell had instructed him to
no longer represent him before the Com
mission. This was virtually a notification
that Parnell had declined to make any fur
ther presentation of his case before the
Commission.
Justice Hammer said: "Parnell will, of
course, remain subject to the jurisdiction of
the Court"
The counsel for the other members of
Parliament against whom charges were
made by the Times were then also drawn
from the case. Parnell made personal ap-
plication to the Court, asking that if there
was any design to further the examination
that 1t be proceeded with without delay.
Justice Hammer promised to call him
Thursday.
After the counsel for Parnell and the
other members of Parliament had retired
Justice Hammer said the scope of the in
quiry would not be altered The taking of
testimony was then resumed
James O'Kelly, a member of Parliament
declared that he had no statement to make.
On cross. examination he admitted that he
was member of the Irish Republican
Brotherhood from 1866 to 1870. In 1871
an attempt to arrest him was made when
he was leaving Ireland under the name of
John Smith. Letters were found in his
baggage from an agent who was shipping
arms to Ireland.
Sir Henry James, counsel for the Times.
produced several letters written by O'KelIy,
partly IN invisible ink, in which reference
was made to the shipment of arms and the
oolngs OF the FeniaLs. One of the letters
referring to remittance of $21 500 from
America, contained passage reading:
I'VE are ready to take the field when the
proper order is issued'
The witness admitted that the letters
were not authentic. While the witness
was in America he joined the Can-na-
Gael. This organization sent him to Ire
land as military officer to reorganize the
men. He received $1,000 towards expen-
ses. He did not effect the object of his
mission, finding that the agents in Ireland
declined to cooperate with him. He there
fore considered the mission ended, and
went to France. He sent his resignation
to America and returned IS 600. During
his career in Parliament he received no
money from America.
Mr.. Matthew Harris, the member of the
House of Commons for East Galway, testi-
lied that he joined the Fenians in 1865
The death penalty to traitors was not an
essential feature of the Fenian constitution.
Mr.. Harris ipstanced the case of informer
Hickman, and said that the society, after
discussion, decided that he should not be
shot.
Presiding Justice Hammer: "The fact
that there was such a decision implies
much"
Continuing, the witness said the Fenian
Council of 1881 was held in Paris for the
sake of security. Mr.. Davitt had been ar
rested and they did not know whose turn
would be next, 1t was therefore thought
better to meet out of Ireland.

An article published in another column,
from the New York Tribune, throws some
light upon the delay in the acceptance of
the Charleston, built at the Union Iron
Works in San Francisco. 1t is true that
the facts stated are not specially fresh !;
that we all knew that the machinery of
the Charleston proved unequal to the de-
mand for speed and power. But the
Tribune asserts that the fault is charge
able to the partisan blunder of the late
Secretary of the Navy, who was warned in
time that the machine plans of the
Charleston, modelled after the japanese
warship afte7 which the American vessel
is largely patterned, were faulty and would
not produce the results looked for by the
Secretary. 1t is because of this fact that
extension Of time has been given the con-
tractors by the present Secretary, though
he might have made a telling point
against the former Administration by re-
fusing the grant of time, and thus of
ficially exposing the cause of the defective
work of the ship. But he preferred to Sc.
cure good vessel and encourage cruiser
building on the Pacific. where it may some
day be of the first importance to the Gov
eminent, than to make political point.
The T'l6uae states the question very clearly
and is emphatic in its approval of the
liberal policy of the present Administra-
ton in this matter.

THE CHARLESTON,
The Truth About Her Failure Comm.
Out at Last.

The Truth About Her Failure Coming
Out at Last.
New York Tribune, July sthl
Mr.. scott, The enterprising manager of
the Union Iron Works, has blurted out the
truth about the English navy.
He frankly acknowledges the failure of the
Charleston to develop the requisite horse
power, and holds the late Secretary OF the
Navy res onsible for the costly changes
that have been made in the machinery.
He states that after the purchase of the
English plans Mr.. Whitney learned that
the japanese cruiser, Naniwa- Kan, which
was the model of the Charleston, had oply
succeeded in making the requisite horse
power and speed after twenty.tw trials and
numerous alterations, but Mr. Whitney re-
fused to sanction any deviation from the
designs, apparently being apprehensive lest
English shlp-builders should shift the
responsibility of the failure of the ship
upon the American contractor and the
Navy Department. The vessel has been
completed, but the first trial was not sue
cesstul, owing to the miscalculations of
the designers. Extensive alterations have
been ordered at the expense of the
Government, and it is now hoped that
the contract requirements in horse.
power and speed can be complied with.
1t is fortunate for Mr.. Whitney's repnta
ton that his successor is broad minded
Cabinet officer, who scorns to sacrifice the
interests of the nation to the ends of mar
row partisanship. Secretary Tracy, il he
had chosen to initiate his predecessors tao
tics in condemnipg the Roach vessels.
could have succeeded in exposing the reck-
less Encouragement of the Department in
the purchase of defective plans and in the
subsequent refusal of Mr.. Whitney TO allow
alterations to be made in the designs. He
has preferred to deal generously with the
contractor, TO grant four months extension
of time tor the completion of the Charles
ton. and to do everything in his power to
enable the ship to develop the required
horsepower and speed. This is a wise and
patriotic policy, for it is vastly more i'm
portant for the country TO have the best
possible ships and to have unem barrassed
shipbuiiders who can furnish more of them.
as they may be required, than il is for the
Republican Administration to score point
against the Democratic Administration.
Mr.. Whitney in his day did not take this
broad view of the subject. For the sake of
party advantage he declared war on a sue.
