between congressman breckenridge
dem, Ky.) and Heard dem, Mo-

Mr.. Breckenridge crossed over 20

speaker then directed the two men TO
take their seats. This they did and
Mr.. Breckinridge rose 10 apologize TO
the house and 10 the speaker, and at
the same time withdraw the remark
that gave offense.

ALARMS At THE PRESIDE,
SHOTS HEARD AND THE SERGEANT
OF THE GUARD UNDER
ARREST.
A BURGLAR QUIETLY INVESTIGATES
THE PLANS OF THE OFF,
GERS QUARTERS.

There was war and rumors of war, or at
least of the latter, at the Preside night
before last, and the electric lamps at the
post shone quite luridly for several hours.
Two gunshots were heard out beyond
the cemetery where stands the monument
that Colonel Graham guards so jealousy.
AT the sound of the shots the sentries,
keenly alert for another attack on the
marble shaft so Objectionable to the rail-
road strikers, called loudly for the SER
geant of the guard.
Sergeant Harvey, the non-commissioned
officer in charge of the detail, responded,
but as the reports were heard a consider
able distance away from the cemetery he
did not investigate, and when questioned
by Colonel Graham next morning he
failed to convince that strict officer that he
had exercised all due diligence in endeav-
oring to arrest the shooters, or that a
force of strikers had not been making
night attack with dynamite upon the
murdered monument"
The result was that when Sergeant
Harvey reported off duty he Immediately
reported under arrest.
He is confined to his quarters pending
an official invests alton OF his conduct. 1t
is safe to say that the commander will
hardly, be placated by any explanation his
subordinate can make, and the non-com-
missioned otticer.will probably see his chev-
rons take wings and fly away
Colonel Graham is determined that
that murdered by strikers monument
shall not be surprised by night attack"
said an artilleryman, 'even if Fort Point,
Lime Point, Alcatraz and every post in
the division fall into the hands of the
enemy.
1.-THE shots are believed to have been fired
by some person in the graders camp down
on the beach, but that did not satisfy the
colonel. Anyhow the disturbance has
given US trouble because we have to patrol
the hills every night now to see that no
trespassers are lurking around"
While the sentries were listening for more
shots from the direction the of cemetery
a burglar was making himself familiar
with plans and specifications of the Of
ficers' quarters. How he escaped the vigil
lance of the nightly guard is another sub
iect for investigation, but his presence was
manifested by several rified apartments
next morning.
One of his visits was to the residence of
Forage Sergeant August Nagel. Trunks
were broken open, their contents scattered
around and $50 taken. The burglar next
tried Colonel Graham's quarters, but ne
missed his way and STUN bled over the
Chinese cook, whose yells of terror
frightened the housebreaker clear off the
reservation.

DICKINSON'S SPEECH

nAOh1NCON .
Attorney John II. Dickinson spoke for Theo-
dore Durrant yesterday, arguing, as well as
might be, that the defendant did not and could
not have murdered Blanche Lamont in the
belfry of Emmanuel Church.
He laid great stress upon the rollcall of DR..
Cheney's lecture on the afternoon OF April 8,
and said that il stood not only unimpeached,
but was ais o cOrroborated by the direct tesU-
mony OF the defendant.
He did not claim that any of the women who
testified 10 seeing Durrant in the afternoon
were prevaricating, but he argued that all the
identification witnesses were mistaken and Ia
boring under Authorizations.
His argument was not concluded by
O'Clock, but at that time he asked that he
might be permitted to conclude his address at
the next session OF the court. This was granted
and recess was taken until next Tuesday
morning
1t is hardly expected that Mr.. Deuprey will
be recovered sufficiently by Tuesday TO make
an argument, though he will undoubtedly do
SO If possible.
