Populist members OF Congress consti-
tuting a notable part of the assem-
blage
Attorneys Hyman and Lipscom, for
the defendants, raised the issue Of the
constitutionalitv of the law under
which their clients were arrested.
The point was argued by Senator Al
len. OF Nebraska. Congress, he said,
had no power 70 confer upon the vice
president and speaker the right to sus-
pend the enforcement OF an act any
more than it had the right TO confer
The power upon the car Of Russia. He
denounced the courts for assuming
legislati tive functions. This case, the
senator declared, would assume ma
t:onN Importance. He quoted tue
magma charta and American revolu-
Rtionery history, and declared that the
arrest Of the defendants implied me
denial of the rights of peaceable as
semblage and petition. Those rights
were guaranteed in the constitution as
regards every spot in the DISTRICT OF
Columbia. Just as much as California,
Texas or Florida.
Judge Miller after the arguments
closed. overruled the objections of the
counsel holding the Capitol grounds ACT
constitutional He also denied CoXey

The empanelling of a jury occupied
two hours. The secretary of the board
of trade was peremptorily challenged

Maloney then made the opening
statement for the prosecution.
The trial will be continued tomorrow

Des Moines, Iowa, May 4.-Kelly's in

Governor Jackson is endeavoring to

not confident of success.

RICHES IN THE BLACK HILLS.
A Roseate story That Reads Like
Romance.

Rosente Story That Reads Like
Romance.
Chamberlain. S. D., May An
the early days of the Black Hills a
party of prospectors camped one night
on Crow creek. They started the fol-
lowing day for Deadwood Several
miles from Crow creek one of the party
picked up a piece of quartz which
looked valuable. The stone was car
ried TO Deadwood and pounded up and
panned out by an experienced miner,
who says it was the richest piece Of
rock he ever saw in the Black Hills.
The man who found it fully explained
the place where he picked it up, and a
few months later made an attempt to
again locate the spot, but owing to the
snow, was unable to do so definitely.
He died before again attempting the
discovery. Those who are familiar
with the details Of the story believe
that the place has never since been
disturbed by prospectors. An attempt
will be made within the next few
weeks by two old timers to locate the
ground where the rich gold vein is
supposed to exist.

standard of gold means the impover-
ishment Of the people everywhere, and
some adequate relief from the present
conditions is essential. There are some
indications that English sentiment is
now drifting toward bimetallism. 1t is
the duty of this government to pursue
course which will hasten the day
when bimetallism will be an accom-
plished fact. If the present adminis-
tration does not shape its ruling in
that direction, people will select one
that will. Bimetallism by international
agreement, or independently, if neces-
