Senator D. B. Hill, of Now York. for q new
Senator, is coming to the 'front.' He made an
other brief speech last week, which was OK
ceedingly interesting to Democrats, at least.

them to tho reading clerk. Because President
elect Cleveland was opposed to Mr.. Murphy's
election is the supposed cause of the satisfac.

he presented Mr.. Murphy's certificate Of cleo
ton. 1t is understood that number of Mr..
Murphy's constituents are anxious to see him
sworn in, and they have written to Senator
Hill for tickets of admission to the Senate

Mr. Hobart, Treasurer of the Whisky Trust
q white haired, white whiskered, and suave
man, testified before the House Investigating
Committee on Tuesday, Feb II, in regard to
the deception practiced on whisky drinkers by
the rectifers. but regarding the affairs of the
trust he, strangely enough, had very little
information to impart. Mr.. Hobart admitted,
and the admittancs caused . shock to the
Southern members Of the investigating COM
mittee, that probably ono.half of the So called
whisky consumed in this country was nothing
less than spirits favored with essences Mr..
Stockdalo, of Mississippi, when this adm sson
was made by Hobart, inquired very earnestly II
that was the kind of venerable stuff" sold down
in Mississippi; to which the Treasurer of the
trust replied by saying that he believed that
Mississippians were generally considered good
judges of whisky, aud could not easily be
fooled. He had aroused Mr.. Stockdae's suspi.
cions, however and was piled with numerous
questions, among which was How would a
quart of gin be made by this new processf"
To which Mr.. Hobart replied: "Why, 40 drops
of juniper-berry essence, with a gallon Of
spirits. would make gallon of good domestic
GIN" This fight against tho whisky trust is |
giving away good many secrets of the trade, |
and people readily SEQ now how large |
fortunes are made out of the liquor traffic.

Mrs. Potter Palmer President of the Boa I'd
Of Lady Managers of the Worlds Fair &C.
companied by Mrs. Troutman, of New York, O
member of the Board, was an interested Spec
tator of tho proceedings of the Senate ono day
last week when the sundry civil appropriation
bill was up for discussion, especially that por.
ton Of it relating to the Columbian Exposi.
ton. Mrs. Palmer had printed copy of the ap-
preparation bill before her, and appeared to be
much interested in the debate ON the amend.
ments relating to the Fair. Mrs. Palmer kept
her gaze riveted on the Senators below her. all
of whom seemed to know that she was In the
gallery, and they frequently glanced up at
her and she gracefully smiled down at them.
The result was that all Of the Worlds Fair
amendments went through without single
objection. and even Senator Quay, of Pennsyl-
vana, who had been selected to champion the
proposition insisting that the Fair be closed
on Sunday. under the spell of Mrs. Palmer
(who 10 q very handsome woman) and the ss-
surancs from Senator Allison, of Iowa. that no
further legislation was necessary ON this sub
ject, withdrew an amendment he had offered
for closing the Fair On Sunday.

A NIGHT OF IT.
The Jury Will Sleep Over the
 SortillOn Case.
The Most Striking Feature of Yes- terday's Proceedings Was
 the Courts Instructions.

The case of Sortillon went to the jury at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The testimony which was introduced yes- terday morning was of an unimportant character and related almost exclu- sively to the character of the defendant and in rebuttal of certain evidence by the prosecution but nothing calculated to throw additional light on the mys' tery of the Mohave babe's death was brought out.
 The case for the government was opened by United States District Attor- ney Ellinwood in strong two hours speech Tn which the whole mass of evil dence against Sortillon was skillfully marshalled. He was followed by Gen. Wilson. who briefly presented the case for the defense.
 A recess was taken until 1 80 when Judge Israel began his address to the jury. It covered an hour and 8 half and was masterful presentation Of all the strength of the defense and all the weakness of the prosecution.
 In his closing address the United States district attorney called special attention to the character of the cyl dence of the prisoners father and brother and that of his brother-in-law, Hon. Abe Frank, mayor of Yuma. However credible these witnesses might be their interest in this case was point ed out.
 The chic c6y interesting feature of yes- terday's proceedings was Judge Bakers charge to the jury which was pro- nounced by the mem bers of the bar present to be the ablest, clearest and most comprehensive they had ever heard. It began with the relation Of the jury to society and it's powers, in- huence and duty, its susceptibility to erroneous impressions and the means by which such impressions were to be avoided.
 That portion of the instructions treat ing of "the reasonable doubt" especial ly commanded the attention of the bar as we'll as the definition of murder and the terms 'willful" and "with malice prepense." The directions for regard ing the testimony were made clear and complete. A feature of the instructions was that though they were so directly applicable to this particular case that not an element of it was left untouched they were go broad and clear that they would be none the less applicable to any possible murder case.
 In the absence of definition of mur- der by the United States statutes the common law of England was borrowed by the court in the preparation of the charge.
 After two hours deliberation the jury desired the adjustment of a tangle in which It found itself involved.
 At 10 o'clock the jury despaired of finding @ verdict soon. They ordered blankets and prepared to make night of it.

UNWILLING OF 1.-THE SUICIDE"
A Famous Oil Painting to Be In-
 Spected Tonight.

spected Tonight.
 Gus Hirchfeldt, the popular proprie- tor of The Palace, has always shown 8 fondness for fine art and the walls of his establishment are adorned with some very fine oil paintings. The latest acquisition of Gus in the fine art line is the reproduction of "The Suicide'' done in oil by Mrs. Ollve Newson Those who have been so fortunate as to see the original of this famous picture pronounce it master piece. The re- production, however, of which MT. Hirschfeldt is the proud possessor, is "barelv" in line with classical art. The painting was done by contract, and as portions of the picture were finished it was approved before further work was done, and when the finishing touches were being put on, Gus failed to be on hand to inspect it, consequent ly the drapery is pronounced by critics to be insufficient. This has not daunted Gus in his ambition to make his resort an art gallery of renown and he has given the painting place in the extreme rear of his house, where it will be unveiled tonight with due ceremony MT. Hirschfeldt has invited 6 number of friends to participate.

Should none of the stores conclude to play it will be the duty of THE REPUBLICAN force to cross bats with the Goldbe Bros. nine and of course will trim them up to the taste of her majesty, the Queen. A good base ball game would no odoubt draw a crowd and add nice sum to the exhibit fund especially If few enterprising men would offer a guarantee of $l00 as gate receipts.
