WASHINGTON. May There was d
falling of in the attendance Of con-
gressmen on the trial of the common-
veal leaders, which was resumed in
Judge Miller's police court. Repre-
sentative Sibley, of Pennsylvania, had d
seat within the bar. After Officer Law,
OF the police force, had told how Browne
and Coxey ran across the grass and
the shrubsery and were arrested,
James Il. Forsyth. clerk in the dis
trict surveyors Office, tried to point out,
upon map of the city where the capi-
tol grounds lie, but the attorneys for
the defendant made objection that it
was not competent. After considerable
argument, he was permitted to state
what, upon hearsay. he thought were
the boundaries OF the grounds. Judge
Miller recalled Officer Law and asked
him several questions: Representative
Pence arose and created something OF .
sensation by declaring that 1t was evi-
dent the ceurt was endeavoring 10 help
the prosecuting officers out of boIe
from which they. had shown absolute
incapacity to lift themselves.
''Can you show any impropriety in
the question: asked the Judge.
II can object that the questions are
absolutely improper and leading, (" re-
sponded Mr.. Pence.
Judge Miller declared, with consider
able shCw Of wrath, that it was hia
privilege and sworn duty 10 elicit alI the
facts in the matter. Mr.. Pence asked
some questions of the officer. which
showed that although he was recorded
as the complainant in the case, helhad
not entered any complaint. He could
not tell how it had been entered against
Browne and afterwards withdrawn.
The officer denied that Browne had
been dubbed, and when he was asked
whether Browne had not been roughly
used, the Judge said that he was not in
the case.
]. Several members of the police force
to events preceding the arrest of
the three defendants, and then the pro-
secution having closed Congressman
Pence moved to have the case dismissed
on the ground OF insufficient evidence.
Judge Miller overruled the motion, and
10 give the lawyers for the defense an
opportunity to consult, he adjourned
the court for the day.

We have made the first payments

the best authority that they have raised
$500, 900 to assist coloniz ltion, and that
the money is in the hands of the officers.
The plan the unions have considered

by instaliments, the improvements to be
paid for in the same way. When the
property is paid for it is to be sold. The
shareholders are to have the first choice

have paid in is to be credited on the
