IN THE UNITED STATES COURT

The entire dav was occupied yesterday in the
criminal department Of the superior couI. win
the trial of Taylor Stark for the muruef o' YES
Rloomstran. In the morning the prosecution
finished the Introduction Of their testimony.
None Of the evidence given was OF any gress II
portance except that of Dr. NJ. WnSte freo.lcA'
who testified to attending Chestie bioomssian
ct the Grand hotel in this city on the molnlns
of June 6. Just after her delivery OF seven
month child.
From n. 20 10 70 o'clock was taken up BY J. u.
Ronald. one of the counsel for the defense, IN an
cpening statement 10 the jury, In which ne ouF
lined their plan of proving self-defense.
In the afternoon the defense introduced sew
eral witnesses to testify to threats maae -
various times by Bloomstran against the iie Vi
Taylor Stark, and others TO disprove vas ssae
ments of some Of the states witnesses ina. ~ =
quarrel. which occurred on the bridge over tne
snooualrnie liver at Falls City prior to the kill
ing. Stark had drawn pistol on Bloomstran.
The testimony of all the witnesses was Illus
Grated and explained 10 the jury by means OF
Get If photographs and drawings OF the spot
where the killing occurred and OF the vicinity.
The last witness of the day was Chestie
BIoomstran, the daughter OF the man killed py
her afiianced husband. Taylor Stark she re-
lated in clear. concise manner the wnoie STORY
of the tragedy and the events leading up to IL.
With stark TO ask his consent to their marriage,
that Bloomstran bad angrily refused It and
that they had started to return to Falls
city. where she was working; that her
father had pursued them and had shot at her
lover twice before he had returned the fire; that
an interchange OF shots then followed, but she
had not known that her father was hit, as he
had walked back to the house. Only once while
on the stand did she lose control over her feel
fngs. When she was asked to identity the pistol
of her father, she burst ont sobbing, and the ex-
animation had to be suspended for several
minutes.
Upon the adjournment of court at the close of
the girls direct examination, an affecting meet
ing took place between her and stark. For q
moment they kissed and embraced each other
Yith every evidence OF love and tenderness, and
hen the prisoner was led back to Jail.

bUAHD OF PUBLIC WOhhb.
A Separate ONCE Asked for the Harbo1
Master.

Mr.. Z. z. Caine, Mr.. L. A. Dyer, Captains
Prince, johnson and Morrison appeared before
the board of public works yesterday in support
OF q petition numerously signed by wharfngers
and shipping men asking that the Office OF the
harbor master be kept separate. Mr.. Caine ad-
dressed the board explaining that for some time
they had felt Ii to be an unfair advantage to
have the Office situated in that OF a firm OF
wharfngers, as had been the case, but now that
an office was to be built they hoped it would be
reserved exclusively for him.
Mr.. Hebron said he did not think the city
cared to take q revenue which would work un-
fairness to any interest. He moved that the
ofice be kept separate as required, and that
course was resolved upon.

In the course of human events all
things are supposed to come to
those who wait. The south since
the fierce struggle of 1864 has
waited for history to right itself in
regard to its valorous hosts who
marched against such fearful odds
and withstood their onslaught for
four years before the surrender.
The school histories tell of no con-
federate victories, and though they
number their losses by the thous-
ands, the overwhelming odds against
which we fought and the terrible
execution which was done by the
confederates is best shown by the
pension roll, which even now 30
years after the war shows a list of
crippled Federal pensioners that it
will bankrupt the treasury to pay off.
The pension rolls, while a credit to
the fighting capacity of the confed-
crates, is disgrace to the party in
power and menace to the tax pay
ers of the United States.

ATTORNEY GENARAL CULBKRsoN says
in reply to a letter from a western
county Judge on the wolf scalp law
in effect that the county commits
sioners have no option, but must or.
der the payment for scalps when
they are presented as provided in
the law. The commissioners court
then makes out an itemized state
ment of the actual amount paid,
which is presented to the comp
troller, who thereupon draws bis
warrant for one-half the amount in
favor of the county. The county
Judge wanted to know if the party
could remit the claim against his
county and get the amount allowed
from the state treasury. This OF
course could not be done, as no
scalp money is paid by the state IN
til the county has actually made its
payment. The Judge had an idea
his county would be bankrupted by
the law. 1t is infested with jack
rabbits by the millions.

The reciprocity treaty between
Spain and the United States was
signed on the 26th inst. at Madrid.
1t will be officially promulgated
August 1 and go into effect in Sep
TENDER. 1t is understood that the
chief obstacle. to the success of the
negotiations was that Spain insisted
that Cuban tobacco should be ad-
mitted to this country free, but
when convinced by Mr.. Foster,
special envoy of the United States,
that his countrymen would never
consent to that proposition, Spain
yielded and the treaty was con-
cluded.
