FOR THE DEFENSE
Testimony Submitted Today in Be-

ATTACKING MISS POLLARD'S CLAIMS
Raising Doubt as to Her Story
About the Norwood Asylum.
A RECESS TILL MONDAY

There seemed to be an impression abroad
this morning that Representative Breckin-
ridge would go on the stand in his own
behalf today, and give his version Of the
story which the jury and the public has
heard from Miss Pollard. Mr. Breckin-
ridges appearance on the stand is looked
for as the most interesting event now TO
occur in the great scandal suit When.
however. the court opened, and counsel
proceeded to read depositions drawn out to
a great length, and then spun out still finer
by a cross-examination, spectators began
to leave.
Miss Pollard and her companion, Mrs.
Ellis, were early in the court room. Ev-

case, the demonstration will have a whole

against the issuance of bonds, and what

sentiment against bonds. What impression

The Senator expressed the opinion that the
governor of Pennsylvania could not legally
take any steps to prevent the army passing
through that state.

The story that L. z. Letter. the million

THE BERING SEA DECREE.
Great Britain Not Fulfilling Her Part
of the Agreement.

Secretary Gresham was before the House
committee on foreign affairs today concern
ing the status of Bering affairs. There
were brought out important developments
as to the manner in which her majesty s
government was executing the award of the
Bering sea court of arbitration. The strict
est injunction was put on members of the
committee TO refrain from discussing the
Sccretary's statement. Later in the day.
however, on Mr.. Gresham's return TO the
State Department the general character of
the hearing made known.
Secretary Gresham spoke for an hour and
explained the situation fully.
The Treaty binding on Both.
1t appears that by the terms of the treaty
of arbitration both Great Britain and the
United States bound themselves to abide by
the decision of the court of arbitration 1t
has been cOntended that this treaty obliga-
ton was so binding that no law of Congress
or OF parliament was needed to carry out
the decree of the court.
Senator Morgan, one of the arbtra tors
has taken the ground that the decision in
itself was part of the organic law in both
countries, being based on the original
treaty. which has the same binding effect
as statute law. Secretary Gresham deem
ed it wise, however. to have Congress- pass
law carrying out the courts decision and
the measure was drafted and submitted to
Congress.
Great Britain's Delay.
But the Secretary expressed surprise that
Great Britain had as vet presented no such
legislation, so far as was officially known
There have been unofficial statements how
eI er. in Canada and elsewhere, as to the
proposed bill to be presented to the British
parliament
These disclose that the proposed British
legislation falls considerably short of ex-
ecuting Great Britain's part in the award
1t is pointed out that the proposed British
bill gives British naval officers discretion
in executing the restrictive regulations
where as the court made these regulation
imperative and mandatory. The penalties
of the British mes sure are also said to
be short OF the requirements of the court
of arbitra ton.
No Grave Concern.
Secretary Gresham expressed no grave
concern over the condition. On the con-
trary, it was believed that in due time both
governments would arrive at an under
standing. At present, however, the State
Department appears to be awaiting a
strengthening of the bills to be present ted
to the British parliament
The House committee took no action on
the Dill submitted by the State Department
TO execute this cOuntry'S part in the ar
bitrati-n decree. There appears to be no
objection to the bill, and ii can be readily
reported at any time. But the entire SUBJ
Ject was allowed to go over for a week
The intimatiOn is made that in the mean
time Ambassador Bayard will further
communicate with her majesty's govern
ment with view to having the British
legislation more fully execute Great
Britain ) part of the decree.

The Days Testimony.

The day, as stated, was taken up with
testimony submitted in the form OF deposi-
tions. Occasionally there was a break In
the monotony Of reading when some objec-
ton was made to a deponent's statement
and a brief argument would be made as to
the admissibility of the testimony. As
plainly stated by Mr.. Shelby in his address
to the jury yesterday, the character OF the
plaintiff Is an issue in the trial
The testimony this morning was from sis
tiers and others connected with the Nor
wood Founding Asylum in Cincinnati, and
seemingly the aim was to prove that Miss
Pollard never was at that institution In the
spring and summer of 1855 The theory on
which the defense is proceeding is that the
statement made by Miss Pollard as to her
going to that institution, and as to Mt

To Replace a Light,

and for providing a fog signal The letter

The light house board has given this

the river which Is TO be avoided, and that
in foggy weather vessels are in danger of
running upon the end Of the shoal making
