THE LAW OF 1T.
Arguments In tho Pollard Case Com
msnced Yesterday.

WASHINGTON. April The proceedings
In the Brcckinrldge-pol case began
this morning by Attorney Carlisle saying
that in the prayer of the plaintiff for in
structions to the jury, II distinct instruc-
tions, covering every aspect OF the case,
were asked of the court. Tho prayer OF
tho defense Tor instructions, which we're
read, we're fewer In number. The first
argument for the plaintiff was made by
Attorney ". g. johnson and Mr.. Shelby
followed with tho opening argument for
the defense.
During the argument Of Attorney
Shelby Judge Bradley inquired the mean
ing OF "lewd and lasciyious conduct" tho
terms used IN the prayers o! the defense.
Shelby responded that no man was
bound TO marry woman Of unchaste life,
nor one whose conduct was such that she
might be presumed to be willing 10 COM
init the action of Illicit intercourse II the
opportunity was afforded. There was n
little passage between Shelby aud Wilson
regarding the part which Miss Pollard s
threats should play in tho case.
Shelby said tho threats which would

marry.
Wilson contendod that this rule would
not apply in this case because OF tho de-
fendant's misconduct and because of an
exhibition by him OF a purpose 10 evado
The contract and that not even the threats
made after the secret marriage could
justify ruling for the defendant. Tho
argument was closed by Wilson for tho
plaintiff. The argument was insignifi-
cant in showing that the defense does not
intend 10 set up as legal the plea that any
OF the promises made by Colonel BreckIn-
ridge 10 Miss Pollard were under duress
exercised by her with the pistol.
Judge Bradley reserved his decision on
the construction until Monday, although
he intimated he could grant one of tho
prayers for the plaintiff and said In speak-
ing of the other prayer: Il sec no rea-
son to change my opinion that the exist.
ing marriage at tue time he made tho
promise, IL he made II. Is no defense"
The length of the arguments was n
matter discussed by the judge and attor-
neys, and whle Judge Bradley thought
five hours for side would bc sufficient,
the lawyers wanted more time. No con.
clusion was reached.

How English Merchants Figure on the
Wool Question,

WASHINGTON, April Limited States
Consul Meedcr, at Bradford, England, re-
ports TO the state department, under date
of March IL, that during tho preceding
months large quantities of American wool
have been offered for sale in Bradford.
This has been SO unusual as to attract
attention and cause no end of gossip. The
wool merchants at Bradford assert the
moment the tariff bill passes with FREQ
wool, tho prices OF American wool will re-
vive, and some of them are SO strong in
this that they have large investments in
wool now held in Philadelphia and Boston.
They say the free impetus given TO manu-
facturers will cause Americans TO be
mixed with finer foreign woods, and that
the demand for American wool for manu-
featuring purposes will set in imme-
diately.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Eepresentative
Bland discrcdits The report that the eau
Gus on the state bank question will have

Bland is one OF Tho sisners of the request
for a caucus. II has been asserted that il
the tax on state banks issues were once
removed, the paper money issued by
these banks would be SO abundant that
the popular demand for more silver would
end. Bland says, on the contrary, that
the repeal Of the state bank tax will in
crease instead of decrease the demand
for silver. THE state banks will need
coin to support their issues" he said,
'and silver will be naturally selected for
b cking the sta,e currency. The repeal Of
the state bank tax will therefore be help

IN the sea alvie an6 the situation be.
came serious for the anchored fleet
TIE anchors lost their hold cn the
bottom, and many of the boats settled
steadily toward the shore. In a vain
effort TO better tho situation some OF
te captains made little sail and
tried to make the harbor, but they
were driven through the anchored ileet,
crashing into other vessels, carry
ing away spars, rigging, and smashing
large holes in the other boats. Ono
schooner, the Myrtle, who.e captain
had tried to sail out of his bad posi-
tion, had all its spars and rigging car
iied away and was finally sunk with all
on bard. Another boat, the schooner
Jack Tho mpson, crashed into the Rain
bow, causing the latter to capsize, and
being finally driven on the beach her
self. The Evening Star, having dragged
her anchors, went ashore witt the
Thompson.
How Six Brave Men Died.
The sinking of the Myrtle was the
most terrible event Cf the long after
noon of horrors. Before the eyes OF
10, 900 men and women that lined the
lake shore from Thirty-sixth to Thirty
eighth streets this craft went down,
carrying six men with her. For an
hour the crowds on the railroad tracks
in Groveland Park and on the neigh
boring housetops watched the waves
steadily carrying the boat toward
sh re- No help came. Men ran
wildly back and forth In vain effort
to find assistance. When 400 yards
south of the Government pier the
Myrtle grounded ard her anchor ca
Q, became tlut Two minutes later
a wave that lifted her ten feet into the
air tore the anchors loose, the wind
caught the tattered foresail, it bellied
to the-gust, and the Myrtle was fairly
heaved out of tho water. The six men
on board waved their hands frantically
Suddenly their signals ceased, and
they huddled together around the
broken mainmast. An cid woman

sixth street station, and prayed in q
shrill, penetrating voice that silenced
for an instant the curses OF the frantic
men about her. An instant later an
illinois Central engine crept down the
tracks from the south pushing flat
car. On the car was "a brass NOR
tar charged ard ready for action.
The crowd drew long sigh of re-
lief, and cheered the life-saving crew
Justify. The engine stopped, but nc
attempt was made to fire q line from
the mortar to the doomed Myrtle, now
less than 300 feet from shore. The life
savers left the car and ran to the shore
with lines. They ran aimlessly back
aud forth. One or two mighty waves
tossed tho Myrtle against the break
water. Twice she bounded back like q
toy boat. 1t was after the second OF
these rebounds that the six men on
beard jumped to the water. A wave
swept the era over them. 1t filled
and settled slowly.
