WAsHINGToN, Feb. 25.--TLe belated
appropriation bills were before the sem

and late to complete them. Cockrell,
chairman of the appropriation committee,

datory on the secretary of war to have
two or more army engineers conduct the

for public building at Annapolis, Nd.

Efforts to Prove that <adrv Hayward! Was
Highwnyruan.

MlNNEAroLIs. Feb. 27.-The defense
in the Hayward murder case seems de-
termined to tasten the responsibility of
the highway robbery on April 10, 1888,
on Adry Hayward. The chief incident
of today's session was the testimony of
Fred Horst, liveryman, that Adry
hired a horse at 9 p N. on that date and
returned at l0;30. This would have
given kim time to take part in the hold
up of his brother and Miss Cling and
Miss Neduer.
The defense expects to show by other
witnesses that Adry was seen near the
scene of the robbery. Fears are felt
that the jury will not be able to stand
the long strain of the trial successfully
Juror Dyer was suffering badly from
swollen veins this morning and had to be
carried upstairs to court.
