LECTURE TO THE SPECTATORS.
The cross examination here rested and
Mai. Butterworth took up the redirect
examinati on but no new points were de-
veloped
After a consultation between Col.
Breckinridge and his lawyers, Mai
Shelby said he thought the case of the
defense might end at this point, but he
asked that the court adjourn then
IN order to give the defense time to con
suit as to what it would do. The usual
hour had not arrived, but Judge Bradley
agreed to the ad journment. Before the
crier formally announced that the court
was adjourned the crowd began TO move
out. Then Judge Bradley became angry,
and stifening up, he cried: Take your
seats go back there; take off your hat
This was the Introduction to a scorching
lecture to the spectators, in which he
said that the curiosity exhibited by
them had been disgusting The corri-
doris had been crowded by the prurient,
and crowds had assent led before the
Office of the counsel. The spectators, he
said, were also Ontrial, ION trial for their
common sense and decency, and lEam
ashamed to say that their conduct has re
suited in a verdict of guilty of indecency.
They remind me of buzzards sitting on a
fence corner waiting an opportunity to
pick little carriOn. Adjourn the court.
The court was adjourned.

a Discharged Employe Threatens to
Kill the Charleston Official.
Charleston, S. c., April 4.-There is
trouble in the postofice here, brought
about by the freaks of T. G. Snowden. an
employee who was recently dismissed
from the postoffice for INSTRUMENTATION.

den has been in the postoffice once or
twice since his dismissal and demanded
that Mr.. Mowry reinstate him. These
demands were refused Snowden, il is
said, then flew into a rage, and declared
that if ne was not reinstated he would kill
MIR. Mowry and then commit suicide. The
climax came this afternoon about D
O'Clock. Mr.. Mowry was preparing TO go
home. when one of his employees came up
and told him that Snowden was down
stairs waiting for him and intended to do
him harm He said that Snowden re
marked that when Mr. Mowry came
down he would spit in his face, and if he
failed to resent the insult he would shoot
him and then take his own life
Snowden had on his person a loaded
revolver and a pair of brass-knucks,
which he showed to the gentleman with
whom hewas talking and to whom he
made the remarks above mentioned Mr.
Mowry, not wishing to have any trouble,
avoided Snowden and this morning swore
out warrant for his arrest before Judge
Milan. The case will come up for hear

SESSION OF TIE SENATE.
Allison and Mills Talk About ths
Tariff Sche2ules.


WASHINGTON, April In the Senate to-
day a protest of pastors Of Georgia
against the proposed constitutional
amendment to recognize God in the con-
stituti0n was presented by Mr.. Gordon,
dem. of Georgia.
Mr.. Quay. rep. Of Pennsylvania, pre-
scented the memorial OF the board OF trade
OF Philadelphia asking for adequate duties
on sugar
Mr. PETERS resolution instructing the
finance committee to report bin 10 re-
peal all laws authorizing the issue Of
bonds or Understanding securities Of
the United States without express au-
thOrity by act of congress. was taken up,
and Mr. PETER spoke upon it until 2
o'clock, when the resolution went OYER
without action till tomorrow
The tariff bin was then laid before the
Senate.
MIR. Allison, rep. of Iowa, continued
the speech begun yesterday against the
bill, resuming at the point where he left
of as TO the difference between the ad va
loren system of duties. as provided for in
the bill, and the treasury system of speci-
IL duties for which he was contending.
There were very few senators in the
chamber when he began 10 speak, not
more than ten on each side and the gal
leries were not half full.
MIR. MILLS DEFENDS THE AID vALoREM
SYSTEM
Mr.. Mills replied 10 MIR. Allison S argu-
ment, and contended that the specific sys-
TEN of duties so extolled by the senator
from Iowa was a tax levied on articles
by quantities. dsregarding value, and
was an un-American, undemocratic and
unjust system, while the ad valorem sys-
TEN was tax levied on articles accord
ing to their value, and was a fair ard Just
system.
He was asked by Mr.. Mitchell, rep, of
Oregon, why, if that was the fact, there
were 200 or 300 instances in the bill where
specific duties were imposed. He said he
would answer in the yankee way, by ask
ing Mr.. Mitchell why there were so many
ad valorem rates in the Mckinley bill.
He went on to say that all legislation was
a compromise, and that there were sena-
tors on his side who believed in specific
valorem duties. He admitted that the
bill could not be passed unless
concessions were made, and wound
up by this tigurative but expressive
declaration: Il say this bill does not suit
me. | am between the devil and the deep
sea. And when the question is presented
TO me whether / go to the devil and sus-
tain the Mckinley act, or whether ! shall
go to sea, ] am going 10 sea, in the
hope that some favoring wind or tide will
bring me ashore again l am going to

changes are made in it, so that those
changes do no not make it as bad as the

Reporters Must Not Comment on the
Packwood Trial Testimony.
Jacksonville, Fla, April A special
to the Times Union from Tavares, Fla,
says; The third day of the Packwood
murder trial opened with a mild sensa-
ton. Judge Brcome, who is presiding in
the case furnished it He announced
that if any newspaper commented on the
evidence he would Immediately bar all
reporters from the court room Plain
statements as to the evidence and rulings
might be furnished, but the suggestion of
a comment would be treated as contempt
of court
"Francis Packwood, brother-in-law of
Miss Adelaide Bruce, one of the victims
resumed the stand and completed his tes-
timony. There was nothing striking
brought out. Several other witnesses
were examined but their evidence had
nothing of the sensational about it.
1T will probably be several days before
it will be possible to Judge of the strength
Of the states case against the accused"
