OPPOSE ADJOURNMENT.

Silverites in Congress Would Stay in Ses-
sion Till After Conventions.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-The impress
sion is growing about the Capitol that
the silver men will soon take position
against final adjournment before the
national conventions. The movement
embraces silver advocates in both houses
and of all parties. There has been no
formal agreement SO far, but there has
been general exchange of views, and
there is no doubt that some Of the lead
ers hold the opinion that it will be wise
to postpone adjournment until there
shall be opportunity to know what posi-
tion the conventions will take Oh the
financial question.

SIOUX CITY II, May 9.-Interesting
litigation is &!out to be commenced by
the South Dakota authorities at Yank-
ton, to test the validity of an act of the
territorial legislature of 1871, by which
all section lines are declared to be pub

cent land required to throw them open
to the public for use as such. Until a
short time ago this law seems to have
been overlooked, the county commits
sioners making practice of purchasing

approved by the naval chief.
The sentences of all five prisoners to
death, in accordance with the verdict,
were signed at once, and preparations
were made to have the men shot.
Receiving no satisfactory response
from the admiral, nor even an invita-
tion to attend the proceedings, neither
Consul General Williams nor any at
tache Of his Office was present at the
courtmartial, nor was he allowed to see
the prisoners until after the trial had
closed. Naturally he laid the whole
case before the state department at
Washington, bv wire, early, and
promptly received instructions as ener.
getic as could be desired.
Had q Stormy Interview.
When these arrived he went directly
to the palace, where a stormy interview
with Captain General Weyler occurred.
The captain general told the consul gen.
eral that Il the men had been convicted,
as the latter supposed, they would most
certainly be shot at sunrise the follow

United States might make.

When Consul General Williams bowed
himself out of the captain general S
presence and drove back to his office, the
excitement that followed at the palace
became almost indescribable The
president and judges of the supreme
tribunal of the island, the chairmen of
the leading conservative parties, and
the managing director of the Spanish
bank were called into CONSULTATION by
Captain General Weyler and Admiral
Navarro. The majority of these per-
sonages advised the authorities to sus-
pend the execution pending higher in
structions from Madrid. General Wey-
Ter said no that if the men were not
executed he would resign. He so tele-
graphed the Spanish ministers, it is re-
ported.

witnesses Tell the Jury what They Know
About the Explosion.


About the Explosion.
The trial of the damage suit of Jo-
seph Milano was resumed in Judge NC
Hatton's court yesterday morning Win
James Allerton on the witness stand
He was at the scene of the fire and was
watching the firemen at work on the
Kenyon Connell warehouse when the
first big explosion occurred. He did
not see the fash, but was looking In
the direction Of the burning building,
and knew that the explosion came d.
rect in his face. 1t knocked him down
and when he got up he found the Ken
yon-Connell building down. The only
injuries he sustained were cuts in his
arm, leg and head. The force of the ex-
plosion threw him in a northwesterly
direction from the Kenyon-Conneli
warehouse. He saw no fire in the Butte
Hardware building, which was TO MS
left.
Mr.. Forbis asked the witness IL It
were not possible that the explosion
might have come from the Butte Hard
ware building, but Mr.. Allerton said IL
was not. While he was watching the
fire the Butte Hardware company 5
timer. was standing by his side.
James Burns, a hack driver. testified
that in company with Billy Magee and
Elmer Green he followed the firemen to
the fire. He saw the men at work on
the Kenyon -Connell building, but saw
no indications of fire until the men had
cut a hole in the building. when the
flames rushed out. Water was thrown
in and the explosion followed. Burns
was knocked down and one of his legs
was broken.
Alex McAivery testified that he saw
the fire and explosion. The witness
tried to testify with a mouth full OF
gum, but seemed to labor under great
difficulty.
Take that gum out of your mouth
and talk plain" said the Judge. Per
haps that will assist you"
The witness emptbed his face and re-
sumed his testimony. which was the
same as that given by him at the God
dard trial. to the effect that the first
explosion came from the Kenyon-Con-
nell warehouse.
At the conclusion of his testimony.
court adjourned for the noon recess,
and the further trial of the case was
continued until Monday.
The experience gained by the nrst
trial serves to greatly simplify the
present trial, and 1t will probably be
concluded in a few days more. A great
many of the details brought out in the
first triad are being omitted in this and
the examination of the witnesses is less
searching. So far during the trials,
Mr.. Kenyon has been the only DEFEND
ant to attend court. Connell, Gaylord
and Palmer don't appear to be sum
| ciently interested in the case to watch
| the progress of 1t.
The Jury will be kept together over
Sunday.
