the sick juror, into court and deposited
him in a reclining chair.
Frank Nye, the County Attorney, rose to
address the jury. His face was ashen pale,
and it did not seem, as he leaned against
the table, that he could possibly prove
equal to the task. However, before be had
been talking twenty minutes his voice
rang out like bugle, and his friends were
confident he would hold out to the end.
Briefly, but effectively, he sketched the
career of Harry Hayward, his association
with Miss Cling and his influence over the
"sic6 man," Blixt. The crime bad been
committed by Blixt at the notation of
Hayward, but it brought with it revolu-
ton in his entire being. After 1t came
conscience, remorse, horror of himself. No
man could picture the agony of horror
Bhxt endured after the commission OF the
crime, until he decided to tell the truth.
Nye's argument occupied the time of the
court until adjournment. Mr.. Erwin will
begin his argument tomorrow morning
and will probably continue on Thursday.
The case, it is expected, will be given to
the jury that afternoon.

WENT FOR GOLD BRICKS.
His FruitleSS Mission to the
Capital of the
Nation.
WAS AFTER A GOOD THING"
Seeking Governmental ssayer Black,
He Received Enlightenment by
Mint Director Preston.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-A little dried up
fellow with rustic air about him stumbled
into the treasury this morning, grip in
hand. He had come all the way from Co
lumbia, S. c., to meet 'sR w. Black, Gov
two solid gold bricks having already paid
''Mr. Black" 500 to bind the bargain. He
was mysterious and reticent, but smart
enough to conceal his identity.
Director Preston of the Mint Bureau
was the man who first enlightened him as
to the swindle of which he had been a
victim. Entering the Office of that official
the rustic inquired in low cautious tones if
that was the United States Mint.
mo, the nearest is at Philadelphia, said
Preston.
well, then" he next inquired, "where
is the assay Officer"
What, is there none nearer than New
York? Why, this is singular l was to
meet r. W. Black, Government Assayer,
here this morning on important business"
The man was fairly intelligent farmer.
He seemed to be about so years old, and
according to his own story had accumu-
lated several thousand dollars. His mys-
ferrous manner of asking most common
place questions aroused Mr. Preston's
curiosity, and in course of their converse
ton he learned that his visitor had been
offered two gold bricks valued at over
10000 for $4,000 and that he paid about
500 to bind the transaction.
Mr.. Black, the alleged Government
assayer, and a mysterious Indian, who
dug the gold from it's hiding place near the
victims farm, were the principals in the
game. The farmer admitted to Mr.. Pres
ton that he would have paid the money
demanded for the bricks but for the fact
that it was after banking hours. "They
got a little money from me, he said, "but
they didn't get it ALL" He was to have
met them in Washington to close up
the transaction and be prepared to DO his
part, as he was satisfied that the bricks
were pure gold and were worth much more
than they would cost him.
Mr.. Preston told him that he had been
deceived and that he would never see the
men or his money again.
The farmer answered that it might be so,
but did not appear altogether satisfied on
that point.

BANDIT CHIEFS GIVE UP.
Operations Against the Town
of Barre, Held by the
Insurgents.
ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY.
1t Would Seem the Revolt Is Far
More Serious Than Spain
VIII Admit.

MADRID. March 5.-An official dispatch
received here from Cuba says thirteen
rebels belonging to the Marrero band have
yielded.
Dispatches received here from Cuba this
evening say that Yaguey, the chief of a
powerful band of brigands, which has been
operating in the province of Matanzas, has
yielded his submission. This, it is added
. puts an end TO the uprising in that prov
ince, which was the most formidable in
the whole island.
General lie Chambre has commenced
operations against the town of Barre
which is occupied by the insurgents. In
rebel bands, numbering in all about $50
men, now exist.
In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister
OF War, General Domingues, denied the
truth of the report that General lie
Chambre had been killed. He also said
there was no truth in the rumors of insur-
gent success in Cuba. Several corps of
volunteers in Cuba have offered to assist
the GovernOr-General against the rebels.
New YORK, March 5.-The steamer Vigi-
lancia, which arrived yesterday, brings
news from the revolution in Cuba. Ac-
cordlng to the passengers, the revolt is of
a more serious character than the Spanish
authorities seem willing to admit. La
Luncha, the leading Republican paper of
Havana. under date of February %, gives
the following account of the different out
breaks:
The first news of the revolt was received
in Manzanillo February %. A party of over
fifty men at Callicito had broken out into
the familiar cry of the Cuban patriots.
Viva Cuba Librer' (Long live Cuba y
The band was headed by Don Bastolo
Maso, one of the leaders of the revolution
in 1869. He was accompanied by Don
Amador Guerra and Don Enrique Cespedes.
The Alcalde of Manzanillo sent troops
10 Salvador, and these prevented the in
surgents from selling the plantation, but
the work OF making sugar was stopped.
Another outbreak was in Barre, but the
object there was to procure the removal of
the Alcalde Of Jiguani and the immediate
establishment OF reforms long recon-
mended by Don Maura in the Spanish
courts.
Still another revolt manifested itself in
Jaguey Grande. The insurgents imme-
diately raised the cry of Cuban liberty.
Their success was of short duration, for
they were met by detail of Government
troops and defeated. They retired into
Cienaga da Zapata, where it is very diff
cult if not impossible to follow them. This
band is headed by the schoolmaster of
Jaguey, accompanied by his seven sons.
In the eastern part Of the island there is
another outbreak that seems TO be of
more serious character, as the Government
has sent from Havana battalion OF troops
belonging to the regiment of Isabel la Cot
toloca, under the command of Colonel
Fidel Santocillides, TO subdue it.
Another party of revolutionists has been
discovered at Marrero, near Colon. In
Guantanamo there is another uprising.

Subscribers of a Newspaper Have Some
Rights.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Assistant Attor-
ney-General Thomas of the Postoffice De-
partment has made an important ruling in
regard to so-called newspaper laws.
Thomas decides that publisher who
makes demand for payment OF subscrip-
ton to his paper through the mails, &C
companying the demand with threat of
enforcing, by the use of these pretended
laws, may be prosecuted for attempting to
obtain money under false pretenses, pro-
vided he knows that these laws have no
existence as laws or judicial decisions.
The so-called laws referred to are those
often promulgated by some newspapers to
the effect that subscriptions to paper
cannot be stopped until full payment of
arrearage has been made, and that pub
Usher may prosecute in criminal action
subscriber who refuses to take his paper
from the Office, not having paid full ar
rearage, or a subscriber who takes a paper
and refuses to pay it. These rules, the
Assistant Attorney General says, have no
existence under the law.

parties is to court defeat at the outset and to
lose the battle in the election.
The purpose of this movement is not to array
section against section, class against class, nor
to require anybody to give up his convictions
on other questions, to sever his party re-
lations for purpose other than to unite in
common cause. the cause of justice against in
justice of prosperity instead of adversely, the
continued employment of labor instead OF
forced idleness of abundance and happiness
instead of want and misery. There can be
no doubt, moreover, that return to the stand
ard of gold and silver will promote in the
highest degree the business interests of the
country while the continuance of our present
financial policy must necessarily be attended
by further fall OF prices, imperiling business
enterprise still more, and prolonging in
definitely the present stagnant condition of
trade and industry.
The manifesto is signed by the following
executive committee appointed by the
Bimetallic Conference called at Washing
ton, February %, 1885,
A j. Warner President American Bimetallic
League, chairman; John P. Jones, United
States Senate; William NJ. Stewart, United

lima; Arson Wolcott of Indiana; George G.
Merry of Colorado; Henry Jones of Georgia;
u
Connecticut: C. J. Hillyer of the District OF
Columbia; Byron Z. Shear of Colorado; Morti-
mer Whitehead OF New Jersey.
In conclusion the manifesto says:
If the conference had authority from the
people to name q candidate for President, it
would name Joseph G. Sibley of Pennsylvania,
but not having such authority it can only sug-
gest the name and invite expressions from the
people by petition, resolutions or otherwise,
believing nominations when made should re-
feet in the most direct manner the will of the
people uncontrolled by caucus machinery or
professional politicians. Petitions or letters
indorsing this view should be addressed to

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Members of the
Fifty-fourth Congress now in Washington
are already making up Speaker Reeds
committees. Two Californians are slated
for chairmanships, Loud as chairman of
the Postotfices and Postroads Committee,
and Bowers for the Committee on Patents.
AS Loud has four years experience on
his committee and was its ranking Repub-
lican member in the Congress Just ended,
there can scarcely be a doubt about his
election for this important craftsmanship.
especially as he is on very good terms with
Reed. Mr.. Bowers was the ranking Re-
publican member of the Military Affairs
Committee in the last Congress, but he
does not believe he is as well fitted for this
place as for some other, and possibly he may
be given the craftsmanship of minor COM
mittee.

Illinois will be chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, and one of the first
things to demand his attention will be the

d. B. Henderson of Iowa will be chair
man of the Appropriations Committee and
Payne of New York of the Ways and

Catchings will constitute the Committee
on Rules with Speaker Reed as chairman.

DROWNING NEAR oRoVILLE.
N, Indian Woman in Canoe Sinks at

Potters Bar.
ORovILLE, March 5.-An Indian woman
named Mrs. Mary Scott attempted yester-
day morning at clock to cross the north
fork of Potters Bar, ten or twelve miles
above Oroville. Her husband tried to dis
suade her from the attempt, but she was
anxious to reach Cherokee, where her aunt
was sick. A young Indian named William
Foreman padded the canoe. When the
canoe reached the swift water it began to
sink, owing to the weight of the woman,
which was 260 pounds. Foreman finding
the boat would go down sprang out and
swan ashore, but the woman remained in
the boat until it sank with her. She could
swim well, but in the rapid stream could
not gain the shore, and was drowned before
either of the two men could reach her.
Her body was found this afternoon just
above Oroville, having been swept down
the river ten miles
