arraignnent OF tho Boston preacher upon
the statements of correspondent of his in
Boston. This person, he said. must remain

that the person vas responsible and one
whose statements could bn relied uron.
When DR.. De Costa sent out his circulars to

be forced open, we're found fragments of
registered letters. They had been rif1ed
and the pieces carelessly thrown into the
safe. Fulton's trial was postponed from
time to time, on the ground that his
mental condition was such that
proper defense. The same plea was made
on the trial which begun June 1 and has
just ended. There was great deal of ex-
pert testimony on the question of Fulton's
sanity or insanity. DR.. Archibald, of
Jamestown, testified that Fulton was not
time to prepare proper defense. He could
not designate the mental ailment. how
ever. Prof. c. =. Riggs, of the state
lunacy board of Minnesota, testified that
he had examined Fulton in March, 1880,
and found no mental disorder apparent
after all the teats known to medical science
At this time his condition was even better
than yenr ago. The physician who had
attended Fulton's family for eight years
testified that he had never seen anything
wrong with Fulton mentally. The Judge,
in charging the jury, said he liked
to give prisoner the benefit of the doubt
i'll every case, but he WAS unwilling to see a
guilty man escape through fraudulent de-
Tense. The jury was out all night and
was unable to agree. Fulton was turne d
over to the county board of lunacy to de-
eide as to his sanity. If they find him in
sane he will be put in lunatic asylum. If
they declare him sane he will be tried
again.

IqU1ouE June 7.-There is great excite
ment here over the decision of the Amer
lean admiral to take the Itata without al
lowing her to discharge her arms ana am

considers that the United States does not
recognize the cradle of republican ideas,
and commits a grave error in thus indi-
rectly assisting director. Ell National, in
an editorial, says: I'VE know we have the
sympathy of the people of America, and of
the people of ali other civilized nations,
but the act of the United States government
against a weaker power, in arms for its lib
