TONERS demurred 10 the Indictment, but the

TONERS counsel then asked leave 10 amend,

and dismissed the petition, thereupOn twen-
ty-One other cases involving the same prn-

ground that the name Of the agents princi-
pal was not disclosed, to which plea the pc

When the cases began on Monday, Judge
Mann, special counsel for the Common
wealth, called the attention Of the court TO
tnc statute passed by therecent Legislature,
to the effect that the same jury should try
only one case during term Of the court.
The question as TO what was cOntempla-
ted by the statute created considerable dis
cussiOn. Mr.. GuigOn cOntcnding. first. that
jury Of three, five or seven would be suil-
cicnt, and would result in large saving in
cost TO the city of Petersburg, but Judge
Mann objected and insisted upon jury of
twelve. MIR. Guigon also contended that
the change of one juryman out of the twelve
would constitute new jury, and be Il COM
pliance with the law.
Judge Mann argued that this law meant
there should be twelve separate and dis
| tinct jurymen.

courts are reversing the ''original package
decisions very rapidly. Last week two dis
trict judges rendered contrary decisions
one holding that an original package is an
unbroken case just as It is received from
the consignors; the other that any sub
division OF ease properly sealed. with
contents intact, would fulfill the require
ments OF the law. Before the now famous
"original package" decision was rendered
by the United states supreme Court, the
Iowa Supreme CourI had defined an original
package to be flask. E,,ttle, kcg. or barrel
anything in which the goods We're put, with

West End Scandal.

Death of Young Abraham Lincoln,
France and the Fatherland.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
LONDON, March 5.-Labouchere. in an
interview on the subject of the Cleve.
iand-street scandal, said it could not be
denied that Hammond was assisted to
escape. The books at Cooks tourist
office, he said, show that Newton, solici-
tor of Lord Arthur Somerset, bought
tickets to America for Hammond and the
boy who accompanied the latter in his
fight. There were also a number OF let
ters which prove that Hammond was as
sisted to leave the country. Labouchere
said it was untrue that Hammond was
paralyzed. On the contrary, he was al
ways in good health, and was we'll aware
of everything going on in the Cleveland
street house. Hammond's wife and
sister, who kept house for him, also
knew the character of the place. Labou-
chere had not heard of Beveridges
house in Euston road, and was sceptical
as to its existence. He suggested that
the cross-examination of Hammond and
the boy who fed with him to America
would elicit valuable facts.
THE PARNELL DEBATE.
The debate on the amendment to
Smiths motion, relative to the adoption
by the Commons of the Parnell Commits
sion's report, moved by Gladstone, was
resumed today. MacNeill Home Ruler)
said he believed the appointment of the
commission was merely an attempt by
the Government to stir up hatred against
the Parnellites. He charged the Govern
ment with allowing Piggott to escape, as
i it had allowed Lord Arthur Somerset to
escape, for political purposes.
Sir Charles Lewis Conservative al.
mitted that the report proved very little
that was not known before, but said it
proved what before was disputed. He
accused Campbell, Parnell's IS private secre.
tary, of removing the books of the league.
A lively passage here ensued. Campbell
declared that he last saw the books in
Liverpool, and, as far as be knew, the
same books had been produced before
| the commission. Lewis contended that
every charge that had been disproved
| would have been proved if all the books
had been produced.
Sexton said he wished to explain on
behalf of Parnell why they refused to
place at the disposal of their opponents
statement of the finances of the party
Lewis asked if this was legitimate
explanation which had been overlooked
in the report. If the books had been
produced they would have shown before
all other evidence whether the respon'
dents were honest men or criminals.
Bryce (LiberaD adjourned the debate.
He argued that the limited views of the
commissioners reduced the value of theil
conclusions to very low point.

been distinguished for it's courage, and
always been prompt in recognizing apv
display of this quality by it's leaders. In
the line of this policy this convention
expresses appreciation Of Speaker Reeds
action in standing boldly for the princi.
pie OF major rule against Democrat
power in and out of Congress-"
An amendment that created the only
breeze during the two days. session, was
that offered by Isaac Revel, of Washing.
ton, and rejected after heated debate.
It was: "And we demand our repre-.
sentatives il Congress to redeem every
pledge made to the people at Chicago in
1885, by repeating the internal revenue
laws, by revising the tariff, by the pass-
age of the Blair Educational bill, and
completely restoring silver to the cur.
rency of the country, and by the liberal
pensioning of every federal soldier"
| After dispesing of the platform, the
committee on league work submitted a
report, declaring the divorcement of the
work of the organization from all efforts
to influence the action of any convention
or to indicate preference for any indi.
vidual candidate; that it was not in the
province of the league to dictate the
policies or princi ples of the party call
ing the attention of State Leagues to the
necessity of organizing in every promis
ing Congressional district, the necessity
of immediate organization in the South

In OPENING, before the United States
Supreme Court, the argument for the
State of California in the Neagle case,
Zach Montgomery made good point
when he intimated that if Federal officers
were to be detailed to protect Federal
Judges, they should not be permitted to
appear on duty in disguise, but should be
compelled to dress in some distinguishing
uniform. 1t is almost absolutely certain
that if Neagle had been in official uniform
when acting as Justice Fields body
guard, no tragedy would have occurred.
But the fact that he was in citizens cos
tune disguised his official character, and
enabled him to kill Terry as if from am
