WASHINGTON, April 10.-Col. Phil
Thompson. formerly q member of con-
gress from Kentucky, and one OF the
best-known men in Washington, enter
tanned the jury in the Pollard -Breckin-
ridge case today with a pyrotechnic
speech such az rarely has been heard
in this section. The blue grass orator
once had great reputation as q stump
speaker. and Washington had q chance
TO see q what the fame was founded.
Colonel Thompson is thick-set, 'chub-
by, red-faced man with scant hair on
the top of his head. He talked in free
and easy but exceedingly vigorous
manner. His speech was sprinkled
with anecdotes, some of them too broad
for reproduction, and his views regard
ing the stability OF the seventh COM
mandment will doubtless provoke re-
sponses from the pulpits OF New Eng
land.
Madeline Pollard did not hear the
terms in which her fellow Kentuckian
referred to her as an aiventutesa and
shameless woman, because she left the
court as soon as Mr.. Carlisle had fin
ished his plea in her behalf.
The speech of Colonel Thompson, will
be concluded tomorrow, and then Major

THE appearance in the procession OF
a Chinese contingent yesterday ia a
novelty that has not bsen witnessed in
this state since 1850. On the occasion
OF the grand public parade in San Fran
cisco, celebrating the admi ssion of Cali
fornia into the union, the "China
boys" as they were then called, formed
a very picturesque and attractive feature
in the procession. But the effort that
was made in the legislature OF 1852 to
pass what was known as the coolie bill,
fathered by Senator Peachy OF the great
law firm of Hslleck, Peachy & Billings,
created such furore, and the Mongoli-
ans had come here in such alarming
numbers, that the whole state rose as one
man against the measure. The object
of the bill was to Iegslize coolie con-
tracts and to run the mines with inn
ported Chinese slaves. From that tim 9
the white workingmen of the state have
felt the terrible pressure of competition
in the labor market with the Chinese,
and the latter have always been ostrA'
cised from public recognition in our gala
festivities until they made their gorgeo us
and barbaric appearance in yesterday
fiesta procession.

OPENING DAY OF THR FIESTA.

Ii there ever WAS any doubt of the
success of the fiesta, the magnificent
way in which the irst days programme
was carried out yesterday should set all
minds at rest The multitudes of peo.
+ pie in the city crowded all the principal
streets from an early hour, and showed
the most lively interest in the attract g
scenes that we-@ to be witnessed every
where. They seemed to never tire in
their admiration of the decorative at.
fractions Of the stores and streets.
But what shall be said of the grand
opening day parade? 1t WAS simply the
most beautiful and diversified pageant
ever Witnessed in this city, and was pro-
nounced by some critical people to be
superior IN its varied and picturesque ef-
tects to the opening parade of the Co.
lumbisn fair at Chicago. The floats
were all good, and many of them charm
ingly conceived, and mounted in man
ner OF scenic completeness that drew out
spontaneous bursts Of applause from the
vast crowds OF spectators that lined the
streets. The grand stand, as the process
sion passed in review before it, was
maze of beauty.
The fiesta queen, richly dressed in
regal attire, and bedecked with rivers of
diamonds and crowned with a gorgeous
coronet of blazing jewels, took her posi-
ton in the midst of her court with SOY.
ereign dignity. The angels who at
tended on her as maids of honor wers
radiant in their shiny toilets, and her her
aid and courtiers, in striking medieval
costume, contributed to form a picture
that will long be remembered by all who
saw it.
,,Sss We mPgst not forget that one of the
the parading column was that which
contained the Chinese contingent. 1t
was gorgsously oriental in character,
an wildly barbaric in it's music, decor
alive feathers and in rich, fantastic Coz
tumery. This part of the procession se-
cured the rapt attention of eastern visit
ors and of all who had never seen the
Chinese in their festive and ceremonial
robes.
But go universally excellent was the
entire exhibition that there was but one
sentiment entertained by the whole
community as to its transcending merit.
And this is but the opening of the
week OF fiesta. Each day, until Satur-
day, there will be new attractions ar
ranged for the enjoyment of our people
and the immense number OF strangers
within our gates. The night illumina-
tions will vie in splendor with the mag
nificent welcome that Arungzsbe gave 70
Lalla Rookh in the beautiful vale OF
Cashmere. Our city will be lit up with
electric lights in all sorts of colors, and
the brillisncy of our principal streets
will of itself constitute an attractive
feature of the festivities.
We are delighted to gee how enthusi-
astically all our people enter into the
spirit of this initial carnival-the Fiesta
de la Reyna de Los Angeles.

to Pass a $75 Check.

picious and Follows Them.
Tells a Policeman, Who Arrests the
Couple in Another Store.

A rather odd case was brought into

liceman Jerome, of the West Forty-sev
enth street station, arraigned young
married coupe. Warren II. Bradford
and his wife. Flossie. on a charge OF
having attempted to pass a worthless
check.
The couple have lived since Monday at

the piano house Of Peck g. Sons, at
Broad way and Forty-ninth street, and
barganed to buy piano for $3.50
The piano was removed TO their house,
and they agreed to pay tor 1t yesterday.
Mrs. Bradford called at the piano ware
rooms yesterday afternoon and wanted
to pay $40 on the piano. Manager John
w. Stevens reminded her of her agree
ment to pay in full, and she replied that
her husband was out of town, and she
wished to pay $40 to show that she was
sincere in her purchase.
She then offered check, drawn on
the First National Bank of this city, to
the order of w. +. Bradford, and signed
were the letters P-U-S-A-C.
Mrs. Bradford said that the check was
drawn by her husbands employer. and
this remark Immediately excited Mr.
told him that he was mechanical
draughtsman in business for himself
He very politely refused to accept the
check. and Mrs. Bradford, smiling pro-
fusely, went away.
Stevens decided to follow her and
saw her meet her husband at Seventh
avenue and Forty-nlnth street. To
gether the Bradfords then went into

JUSTICE MEADE scEPT|cAl.
Deals Lightly with Men Accused
Of Assaulting Policemen.
Discharges Mcclure and Then Fines
Soon" O'Brien $5.

Justice Meade, presiding at Yorkville
Court, apparently does not put much
faith in stories told by policemen who
complain of being assaulted and hav-
ing their uniforms torn by prisoners.
In one case, where an officer alleged he
had been stabbed in the hand, the pris-
oner was discharged this morning, and
another prisoner was fined but S. for
tearing the uniforms of two policemen.
The first case was that of Policeman
Nischwitz, of the Fast Sixty-seventh
street station. He arraigned Thomas
Mcclure. twenty years old. of sos Sec
ond avenue. whom he charged with dis
orderly conduct. McGuires head was
swathed in bandages and he said that
he had been cut by a blow from the
officers club.
According to Nischwitz, crowd OF
young toughs. belonging to the Horse
Market Gang" was engaged insulting
men and women at Seventy-ffth, street

he ordered them to disperse all went
away with the exception of MCGUIRE,
who refused to move
alleges that Mcclure grabbed hold Of
him. and during the struggle that fol-
lowed he was cut In the left hand, and
then, although he did not see any wea-
pom in McGuire's hand. he brought his
club into play.
Mcclure ran into a neighboring hall
way. and when the officer pursued him
he was. he says, followed by the gang.
The policeman thinks he would have
Jared badly but for the timely arriva!
of Policeman Gimartin. MCGUIRE was
then locked up.
Mcclure denies the officers charge. and
said he was escorting a young woman
when the officer attacked him with his
club without the slightest provocation.
His story was corroborated by a witness,
and Justice Meade discharged him.
Con" O'Brien twenty-five years old,
of 1855 Second avenue, was accused by
Policemen Schenng and Patton, also Of
the East Sixty-seventh street station, OF
disorderly conduct. They said that
OF ren was fighting drunk at Sixty-first
street and Second avenue late last night
and that he had wrecked the fruit stand
kept by +. Pervido at that corner.
Schening alleged that when he ap-
peared on the scene O'Brien sprang at
him and tore his uniform coat In the
struggle, he said. O'Brien had his hand
cut They were rolling on the sidewalk
when O'Brien's sister came along and
asked to be permitted to take her
brother home. Schening said he con
scented. but had no sooner released his
hold than O'Brien renewed his attack
Policeman Patton then came along and
o. Brien tore his uniform. too. O'Brier
made no defense. The Judge released
him on payment of S. fine.

Judge Dugro in the Superior Court for
an injunction to restrain Isaac Lewis &
Sons. glassdealers. from foreclosing a
mortgage given by George j. Sawyer to
caspar 1ba on the saloon fixtures at l2l
Bleecker street, which mortgage was
assigned by Iba to Lewis & Sons.
The brewery people claim that a mort
gage executed by Sawyer and held by
them to secure payment OF "A beer bill
was a first mortgage on the fixtures.
not withstanding the Fact that the mort
gage held by Lewis 4 Sons was filed in
the Registers office before the mortgage
was given to the brewery.
on the same day Judge Alfred Steck-
Ter, counsel for Lewis & Sons, claimed
has mortgage was Il first lien and a
purchase money mortgage to secure pay
ment to Iba for a balance OF S.025 due
on the fixtures, and that the brewery
peoples mortgage was In fact second
mortgage, and that their claim was
merely an aftcrthought when they found
