A SENSATIONAL RECITAL.
Pretended Engagement to Keep Miss

A SENSATIONAL RECITAL.

WAsHTNGToN, March 3l.--Colonel Breck-
inridze continued his evidence yesterday
without interruption. In his usual suave,
velvety voice, his wonderful composure
and ease Of manner never leaving him for
an instant He faced not only Miss Pol
lard and her array Of lawyers. but large
number of his colleagues In congress.
From their second meeting at the Lex
ington house of assignation, kept by
Sarah, Guest, In 1884, down to the late
spring Of 1898, the recital wound its way
along path stormy with pistols, illegiti-
mate children, concealed meetings. clan
destine interviews and Of secret marriage,
more OF intrigue than one would suppose
could be contained in the life of such a
mifd-looking, elderly man as the man
who leaned over the witness box aud told

Covered Wide Ground.
There Is "A wealth of detail In the
defendants story; he binds IL about him
with many extraneous matters, and
throws an atmosphere OF high life over it.
weaving In with his meetings with Miss
Pollard, illusions to the many political
events in which he has taken part. the
schools he has addressed, the confederate
reunions he has attended, banquets to
which he had been called as an honored
guest, the ladies he has taken to call on
Mrs. Cleveland, even the dinner of the
Reform club in New York, at which. as
Mr.. Butterworth observed, Speaker
Crisp did not speak"
The case is practically narrowed down
to a question of veracity between the
plaintiff and several of her supporting
witnesses, and the defendant. Their
stories coincide on many points, but it is
noticeable how differently the same
events appear, when viewed from the
standpoints of Colonel Brsckinridge and
Miss Pollard.
Only on few points was he obliged to
take issue with the testimony Of anybody
but the plaintiff. Sometimes he and Mrs.
Blackburn differed, and the story Of
Claude de la Roche Francis that he over
heard a conversation between the pair
relating to their engagement. he said,
could not be true, for no such conversa-
tion had occurred.
The heart Of the defense, however, is
that he had represented to Mrs. Black
burn that there was an engagement as a
method OF explaBstion of the rumors
about the young woman, and snabling
her to leave town with an untarnished
name.

TRADE REVIEW.

Toward Resiorlso Confidence.


NEW YORK. March si.-R q. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade sayH The
president clears away one grave uncer-
tainty with his veto. For some days it
has been expected, and in speculation per-
haps fully discounted. The more conf
dent tone observed this week Is partly due
10 the belief that no disturbance Of the
currency will be permitted, but other
causes helped forward Improvement.
Slowly, but yet quite psrcsptibly, the
force at work increases.
The approach of spring compels thou
sands OF dealers to replenish stocks. and
the aggregate of ORDERS IL smaller than
usual at this season, II distinctly larger
than In January OF February. Except In
speculative markets prices do net recover.
and In few instances have gone lower,
but the absence Of sensational record
breaking inspires hope that the bottom
may have been reached. Business.
though small, is exceptionally cautious
and safe, and its slow gain IL more en-
eouraging than . frothy and nighty sx-
pansion.
Industries have gained again thought
not so much AS in other weeks this month,
but the works in operation enjoy some In
crease in the demand.
Fall trade In woolsns II still very small,
but needs Of belated clothisrs have caused
quite an improvement In spring goods
Cottons are also in better demand and
print cloths have advanced . sixteenth.

larger orders, particularly from the south

chases for immediate delivery 1T the east
and a little better demand at the west.
Shipments from Boston. i7s per cent less
than last year for the first quarter. are
only l47 per cent less for March. The
demand for leather also increased, though
only in medium or lower qualities.
Domestic trade continues about 90.4 per
