The orcutt Murder Trial.

TACOMA, Nov. 27.-[Special. I-0ne ofthe
most exciting incidents of the trial of the
CIRCUITS was the examina alton of ]. G. DER
niger. postmaster at Dieringer. Mr. der
niger was put on the stand by the prose
cution 10 prove the good reputation of W.
w. Russell. whom the defense has tried TO
impeaeh. During the redirect examina-
tlon By Prosecuting Attorney sneii, Attor-
nev Coiner, for tho defense. made several
objections To the admission of certain
questions and their answers. Mr. Deir-
niger took the objections TO be personal
reflections on his character. and arose ex-
citedly TO his feet and exclaimed: Il want
YOU TO understand" Coiner objected,
and Judge Parker said to Dieringer: You
sit down, or I'll send you down to a cell. /"
and the witness subsidized.
The evidence for the defense is all TN.
Isaac orcutt. the younger of the defend
ants, was put on the stand 10y his sttor-
neys this morning. His story of the
tragedy was much the same as that of his
father, outlined In the PosT-IErELLIsKS-
cER this morning. lie said that Russell
made a rush at him. cursing and threat
ening to do" him and that he attempted
10 use knife on him. IL was only after
rCtfAtsu SABBi1 70 taAr tlir t4lc AbhN 'FitANs
drew his revolver and used it In sell de-
fense In his seross-examination. Mr. Fay
lor, for the state, asked that be show how
he and Russell fought. With Taylor act
ing the part Of Russell, orcutt took his
revolver and fairly good sham battle
took place.
In rebuttal of the expert testimony
offered by the defense tending to prove
u. +. oreutt's story Of the killing OF Cush-
man. the state put DIR. T. +. Merrill on the
stand. DIR. Merrill testified that. If Cush-
man vas shot through the aorta, as has
been shown, il would be impossible for
him 20 walk fifty feet, from where ID. r..
orcutt claims his fight with him occurred
10 where ne fell. before death. DIR. Mer-
rill said that shot through the aorta re-
salts in instantaneous death.

number, but the robbers had made good
their escape and were not to be seen.

TACOMA, Nov. %. Especial. j The
chamber OF commerce will take action
Monday evening regarding the desire of
the Northern Pacific TO possess the filled
in portion Of the water front. The rail-
road company's officers have informed the
trustees OF the chamber of commerce that
the company has spent I, ,0o0.0 90 IN termi-
nal facilities here. and while it did not de-
sire 10 monopolize the water front, it pro-
posed TO possess itself of the bulk OF the
wharves now in use. inasmach as it and.
the Tacoma Land Company had filed in
the docks. The officials claim that no
private parties would have made the i'm
proyements which the company has.
This statement is being used rs an argu-
ment TO show that In this a corporation
did more for the town than individuals.
and that at Seattle, where individuals con-
troiled the water front, there had not been
as much substantial dock improvements

sir Charlie. Topper on the seal Fisheries.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 27.-Sir Charles Tup-
per, minister of marine and fisheries, who
was Canada's agent at the Paris arbitra-
ton, discredits the report that the United
States government has asked Great
Btlain to consent TO prohibiting the
killing of seals next season. lie says:
"Had the United States entertained the
reasonable proposal We made the seal fish
cries would have suffered far less than they
are likely TO do under the present regula-
tions. We saw the danger Of depletion
through the wrong idea what close sea-
son should be. We said that if the States
would give our seaiers good summers .
work We would agree 10 prohibit them
during the spring and winter months,
wnen the seals are gravid, and when great
damage is done by slaughterinR The
United States rejected this proposition.
and the danger OF depletion is multiplied.
The Bering catch of Canada vessels this
season only amounts TO n little over
% 900 skins, or y per cent. OF the total
catch fact that eoniradicts the I nited
States assertion that for every male seal
killed three female seals are slaughtered. ="

tended in the case OF the plated
property above described that as if had
been assessed in blocks instead of lots. as
the Law directs, aad aftersard the tax
segregated into lots, that ths tax for 1891
was Illegal and could not be collected.
The judge held the tax legal. and ordered
the lots sold for taxes. Judge Frank
Allyn, L. W. Roys. ID. h. Benhsm and
other Tacoma parties are the owners and
have given notices OF appeal. The taxes
against the Willapa valley farm property
were declared illegal and remiited on the
ground that the taxes were excessive and
showed gross partiality and dlscFimina-
tion. The county treasurer. who was
made defendant in the actions. will appeal
the cases. The judge held that he had no
power to reduce any tax, but simply to
pass upon its Legality.
