States an exchange: One OF the
things which enter into the dimin-
ished demand for American wheat
in Europe is the increased consump-
ton Of Indian corn over there. For
the frs. three months of 1894 the
exports Of Indian corn amounted
to 20,839,0O0 bushels, against 1884,
433 bushels in the corresponding
period Of last year. At this rate our
shipments Of corn 70 Europe would
amount to SO. 600 bushels a year.

Electricity at the Worlds Fair.
This subject has almost become a
tiresome one to the readers Of the
scientific and technical papers for
the past year. These papers have
given a good share Of their space to
descriptions and explanations of the
minuta Of this department, and to
readers Of this class Of literature this
paper will be dry enough. With
the majority Of the people the case
is different and it is for their benefit
that this is written.
The true electrical exhibit was not
confined to the Electricity building,
but was met with at every turn in
the grounds. In order to take up
this subject in a logical orders il will
be necessary to start from MACHINERY

things," in the way OF electrical en-
ergy used in the grounds, except
the power plant Of the intermural
electric railroad, which will be tax en-
up later. There were two reasons
for combining the generating plant
TO this hall, one was that all the
boilers and engines were here, and
the other, that the current could be
controlled better from a central sta
ton than from isolaled plants.
From this plant electrical energy
was conveyed to all parts Of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The printing
committee of the senate today continued
the investigation of irregularities in the
letting of the contract for the printing
of the Patent Office Gazette. William
Z. Curtis was present at the opening,
and Mr.. Marvin, the bureau chief of
the patent office dismissed by Commits
sloner Seymour, lad a consultation
with Senator German before the meet
ing of the committee. The testimony
OF c. F. Darby. who was acting chief
clerk of the patent office at the time the
printing bids were received. was first
taken, and was designed to show that
there was no chance for them to have
been inspected after they were re-
ceived, and then they were officially
opened. The bids were placed in
Mr.. Darby's hands when first re-
ceived. He testified that he was
present when the bids were opened, and
he stated the differences in the amounts
of the bids. The difference, he said,
was about 81, 700 apiece, but the national
co mpany agreed to do the whole work
within the limit OF the appropriation,
which would save $4,000 additional,
computing from last years work. Will
lam E. Curtis, of the Chicago Record,
author of the accusing newspaper ar
ticle, testified that the article was not
the outgrowth of a purpose 10 attack
Mr.. Quincy. He stated that he had
satisfied himself of their credibility.
Joseph b. Marvin, eX-chief of draughts-
men division i'll the patent office, who
was dismissed by Commissioner Sew
mour, was the next witness. He testl-
fled from typewcitten notes. 1t had
been his duty to pass upon the work
done in the patent office gazette.
He detailed the shortcomings in
character of the work and the
delay in its delivery after the change
from the Norris Peters company to the
National company. At the request of
Commissioner Seymour. Marvin was
asked whether he knew Of any present
from the Norris Peters company to en-
ployes in the patent office. Witness
said he had received two books from
Peters. Upon Mr.. Peters death his
daughters had given witness a lamp OIL
the Christmas following, wishing to re-
member their fathers friends. Mr..
Frazier, upon the occasion of the we'd

Judge Wing Makes a sensa.ion, !,

Judge Wing Makes a Sensational
Attack on the Prosecution.
CHICAGO, Feb. "a. -Ex-Judge Wing
began the closing argument for the de-
tense i'll the Coughiin trial today. Ths
court room was thronged with specta.
tors, and the address was notable one.
Judge Wing Viciously attacked the
methods of the prosecution, and refer.
ring to the incident of the former trial
when ex-State's Attorney Longenecker
called Mrs. Thomas Wnslen I'D at mid
night Tor a severe examination. said
that Whalen should have shot the Off
clal down in his tracks. During the
afternoon somewhat of a sensation was
created when Judge Tuthi!l sharply
called Attorney Wing to order for re-
Elections upon the original trial conrt. 1t
was in reference to Martin Burke, one
OF those convicted with Coughlin, and
who died in the peni-entiary last
year. Attorney Wing, speaking of him.
said: "Gentlemen. Martin Burke was
murdered. should hate to be charged
by the Great Judge of all with the mur-
der OF that man, as are the men who
tried and convicted him." 81 don't
~ otS OiilitlOO W Say lH1T.
Judge Wing" broke in the court, stop
ping the flood of the attorneys wrath
full eloquence. "ThoSe men were tried
and convicted according to the laws of
this country, and l cannot sit here and
have the rulings of INV brother Judges
condemned i'll this way" Judge Wing.
though surprised at the Interruption of
the court, replied quickly: but your
honor, the supreme court of the state
reversed the decision under which
O'Sullivan and Burke died in prisons -
Il know that" said Judge TuthiD.
but there are many such instances
as that. The supreme court held
that there was an error in the record.
and that's all there was TO it. The case
was tried by Judge Mcconnell fairly
and honestly, according to his ideas of
the law, and you have no right to
question the integrity of the court"
But" said Wing, Twill your honor
hold that Martin Burke has pleaded
guilty i'll this case, as Mr. Scanlan has
contended?" NO, l have nothing 10
say about that" replied the court.
NO" repeated the attorney, "whether
Martin Burke stands before you guilty
or not is neither here nor there. We
ask you to decide whether or not
Daniel Coughlin is guilty. Martiu
Burke has gone where you cannot help
him. Patrick O'SullIvan has gone
where you cannot help him." Mr..
Wing then resumed his argument and
had not concluded when the court ad.
journed.
