His Lawyers Make 8 BittSr Attack Upon
 pr. Formal. -
 CAMDEN, N. J., March 12-Counsel for the defence in the trial of Francis Lingo made bitter attack upon 'Dr. Formad.
 It was said in open court that threats had been made against him, and that abusive language had been used. These accusations were only mildly denied. During this, fortunately for Lingo, the jurymen were not in the room, else they might have looked upon it as desperate effort on the part of Lingo's lawyers to gain a point, and might have been in- fiuenced against the defendant by it's fail ures.
 The cross-examination of Dr. Formad took such a wide scope that Judge Garri- son was kept busy overruling questions. Technical questions were put, one after another, to Dr. Formad, but his evidence was not shaken.
 Early in the afternoon session the Com monwealth rested it's case, and Lawyer George Taylor made a-brilliant opening speech. It was short, but the outline of the evidence he promised to produce was such as to intimate that he would prove an alibi for Lingo. When he finished, the first witness for the defence was called.

BLAINE IS SILENT
Salisbury's Terms of Arbitra.

Bismarck or Oarnot Said to be the Only
 Available Arbitrators.

Hon. Jerry Simpson Talks to a Thousand
 Farmers-The President Has Good Luck

 Expected in the Treasury Department.
 Minister Swift's Successor.
 WASHINGTON, March 12.-Nothing could be learned at the State Department as to whether Secretary Blaine would accept the terms of arbitration set forth in the latest dispatch which he has received from Lord Salisbury in regard to the Behring Sea trouble. But that the out come will be arbitration, no one doubts.
 Mr. Blaine will, it is thought, endeavor to make some changes in the scheme which Lord Salisbury has embodied, but whether he is or is not successful in that effort arbitration will ensue.
 Members of Congress who were spoken to about the matter expressed gratifica- tion at the prospect of a peaceful solu- tion of what has been @ difficult question to handle.
 Who is to be the arbitrator? This is 8 question surrounded by more difficulties than are at first apparent. Existing complications between the crowned heads of the European monarchies embarrass the question of selection not little.
 Both sides would have accepted ex- Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil had he re- tained full possession of his health and mental faculties, and his award as arbi- trator would have been acquiesced in by both the United States and the govern ment of Great Britain. The reigning sovereigns of Germany, Italy and Austria are more or less involved in alliances which make their services impossible. Int president of the French republic or Prince Bismarck seem to be the only avail able arbitrators left.
