Second Day.

The trial was resumed by the further ex-
animation of Gov. Francis. The defendants
attorneys objected to the admission of GER
tain statements of the Union national bank
of Kansas City, state depository, as not
fully identified as being found in the treas
urer'S office when the governor began his
examination of the department. A long
wrangle over the law point involved fol-
lowed, and Judge Burgess ruled that the
statements were admissible evidence. The
jury was Withdrawn from the court room
during the discussion of the competency of
the evidence, and Gov. Francis explained to
the court that on the 18th of February he
wrote to all this state repositories, the
Union national bank included, notifying
them that they had failed to comply with
the law requiring them to make statements
monthly of their accounts with the state, and
calling their attention to the provision of the
statute imposing a penalty of 81 900 for each
failure to do One of the replies he
ceived was from the Union national bank,
and was to the effect that statements had
been made regularly each month by that
bank. These statements the treasurer had
failed to file in his office, or, as the law re
CURED, the duplicate in the office of the
auditor. When the jury returned the gov
ernor testified to finding in the vault of the
treasury when he took charge two drafts of
j. S. Fleming, a banker of Jefferson City, on
the Laclede bank of st. Louis, one for 200
and one for 81 ,O00. Mr.. Fleming rendered
him package of $4,000 in currency. which
he turned over to the examining committee
after it was appointed, and they turned the
drafts over to him and sent them to Fleming.
He also found numerous due bills from the
clerks about the capitol. The due bills
"snakes" were afterward made good. The
shortage in the cash was found to be S11 1913,
which was represented IN the safe by
empty envelope. The governor was cross
examined at great length by Mr.. johnson,
but nothing new was brought out in connec-
ton with the defalcation.
Mr.. z. T. Miller, book keeper in the treas
ury under Mr.. holland, and also under Mr..
Stephens, was the next witness. He testified
from the daily balance books of the office,
that on the 4th day of March, 1890, the fol-
lowing amounts were on hand, as shown by
the books:

ON THE ETATA'S TRACK.

The Mission of the Swift-SaiIing Cruiser
Charleston--A Stern Chase which May
or May Not Result in Capture and
Perhaps a Fight-The Charleston's Or
ders Explicit.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE fact is
no longer concealed even in official
naval circles that the swift cruiser
Charleston is now off in hot chase after
the Gillian transport Etata, which left
San Diego last Wednesday while under
arrest and carrying off a deputy of the
United States marshal.
The Itata, after leaving San Diego,
took on board a consignment of rifles
and ammunition which had been
shipped from San Francisco on the
schooner Robert and Minnie. The
transfer of the latter's cargo is be-
lieved to have occurred off San Gle
mente island, northwest of San Diego
harbor. and it is believed that the Etata
went south Friday night or Saturday
morning.
The Gillian cruiser Esmeralda is be-
lieved to be lying off Cape San Lucas,
which is the southernmost point of the
land in lower California, awaiting the
supplies carried by the Etata. The sea
run to that point is about 700 miles.
The Etata being heavily loaded, al
though reputed as a fast craft, it is
estimated that she cannot exceed 8
knots an hour, and the Charleston,
which left San Pedro this morning, is
thought certain to overtake her or reach
San Lucas in advance of the transport.
If not found there the Charleston will
70 MI JOb
be the first port at which any further
intelligence can be received. Even
though the cruiser Esmeralda is met as
the convoy of the Etata it is understood
that the orders of the Charleston are
explicit on the point of capture, and if
the Itata is sighted it is believed GER
tain that there will be fight or capt
ure, or both.

Where the Etata VIII Next be Heard
From.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-It is reported
that the government has information
to warrant the belief that the Etata
will be next heard of as touching at a
Mexican port and that it is probable
the Charleston will make her first stop
about half way down the west coast OF
Mexico, not in the hope Of finding her
prey there but of stopping her.

The Opinion of One Who Knows.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Ex-Minister
A. M. Soltedo, of Venezuela, who is
posted on Gillian matters, where he has
been an editor, yesterday declared that
the fleet which started in pursuit of the
Etata, would not find her. He says the
government vessels are of the best
character, and very complete in equip
ment.
The cruisers Admiral Lynch, Conde1
and two vessels of the torpedo class are
expected momentarily. Mr.. Soltedo
says the report favoring the rebels
cause which come from Paris are not
true. President Balmaceda, he says,
has all the means necessary to bring
the war to a successful end. The OBJ
ject of the reports from Europe favor
able to the rebels, is, he says, to estab-
lish a credit for them if possible.
In regard to the Etata affair, he says:
''The Etata is runaway from the GUS
tody of the marshal without local clear
ance. She can be pursued and captured
on the high seas. The United States
government will consider itself bound
to prevent arms from falling into the
hands of rebels against friendly gov
eminent, and there is no doubt that the
Gillian navy department will not per-
NIT any thing unlawful, and they know
that the United States can not be trifled
with"

IN Switzerland, that country Of the
truest democracy, and highest in the
world, the Government takes care Of
the baggage delivery. How satisfac-
torily we will let the reader judge
from the following extract from a re-
cent letter from Switzerland:
I'VE had sent our baggage, as we
had been advised, to the postomce
where we at once went. The bag
which we wished to post to Zermatt
seemed to as very heavy, but scythes
and barrels and bundles OF old iron,
labeled and addressed, were lying on
the floor, and.We supposed it must be
all right, though the post-mistress, as
soon rs we had paid our money, turned
away without giving us stamps or
receipt, and had nothing more to do
with US We need not have worried
( Jrathe Swiss pOsbohce takes anything
and everything that the express com
panies at home would carry; and if
one does not bother about his baggage
it is as certain to turn up at his jour
ney's end as IL would be to disappear
at home if one ventured TO let it take
care Of itself. Is there any reason
why we should not have a system Ike
this? Are the Americans anyless INTEL
gent or less practical than their neigh
bOrs across the water. Who will
admit ity Is it not time then 70
make some move toward an express
system under government Contr0I2 or
are we as a nation so bound and
shacklsdT by mOnOpOlistic chains that
We are powerless to accomplish what is
so evidently for the best interests of
the people? LetOur legislators answer.
