RESTS THE CASE.
Government Finishes Submitting Evil
dence Against Debs ct al

Chicago, Feb 5.--Unexpectedly yes
terday afternoon counsel for the gov
eminent announced that IL had sub
united all of its evidence in the pebs
conspiracy case. Saturday the prose
cutlon issued forty-tive more suhpoen-
aes for witnesses, and 1t was expected
that these would keep the government
on the stand all the week. When Mr..
Walker announced chat the prosecu-
tion would rest its case there was sur
prise The jury was requested to re-
tire and the counsel for the defense
asked for the dismissal of the defend
ants. Judge Tboman, for John f. Nc
yean. of Cleveland, o., a member of
the board of directors, asked that his
client be discharged; that his name
has not been coupled with any Of the
others save ms being fellow director
There was no proof that he had been
in Chicago during the strike, and he
had never been in any counsels of
the board of directors during the
strike period. Mr.. Walker, for the
government, admitted the representa-
ton, but called the attention Of the
court to the fact that McVean had
voted in the convention to order the
strike, and had acted as member of
one Of the committees. Mr.. barrow
asked for the premptory discharge Of
Frank Dryer, Dennis Larkin, james
Mcdonald and John Burke, not one of
whom has been named as taking any
part In single overt act He asked
for the discharge of John Hannahan,
against whom, he said, the govern
ment has failed to prove an overt act
He argued for the discharge of the
members of the board of directors.
The court said that he would take the
motion under advisement and make a
decision this morning. The failure to
secure in time all the witnesses for
whom subpoenaes We're issued Satur-
day, was the cause of the sudden
closing of the government side of the.
trial.

about the committee"

withdraw what he had said il the gen.
tleman could cite a single bill reported
by the committee of banking and cur
rency in the interest of the people.

ing to Mr. Hall, "that the gentleman's
language is not such as he would dare
to use to me off the floor Of the house."
Instantly the house was in great
confusion, and the members crowded
about them, expecting possible repe-
tition of the row Friday last, but the
speaker ordered the sergeant-at-arms
to see that the gentlemen were seated.
The incident went no further, as Mr..
Cultivate demanded the previous
question, which was yrdered. The
rule was adopted, 1876 to %, after
which the house went into committee

priation bill was taken up and passed.
