TESTIMONY ALL IN.

The Mailing Trial Is Drawing to a Close.
 Yesterdays Developments.
 Cincinnati, June 13.-The state today concluded it's testimony in rebuttal in the Walling trial. The register from Heider' S hotel was introduced in evidence. De- tective McDermott testified that Wall ing's name did not appear on the regis try February ', 1896, when he and Detect i've Grim examined 1t. The register in- troduced in court today bore Walling' s name just above the date, November 27, 1895, with the letters "P. D." marked opposite in lead pencil Proprieor Fielder swore that the letters "P. D." opposite Wallings signature were not written in the hand writing of either himself or any clerk in the hotel. The defense intro- duced Clint Walling and his wife and Charyes Walllng and his wife, all of whom identified the signature on Heid- er's register as Walling's own handwrit- ing and then rested
 The judge then asked the attorneys if they cared to discuss the courts instruc- tions to the jury. 'They will be the same as in the Jackson case except that shall strike out one instruction"
 Court then adjourned until 9:30 Monday morning.

arrangements, listening to the report Of Colonel Martin as to the progress he had made in regard to engaging his assist ants, pages, doorkeepers and other at- taches. The finished blue prints of the hall were bored over by the conmi tee and explained by MT. Canda. Some slight changes were made in the arrangement and that part of the convention prelimi naries is now finally disposed of.
 Colonel Martin announced that he had signed a contract with a mineral springs company to supply the hall with 200 ten gallon coolers filled with its water and kept constantly furnished with ice, so that the 15,000 people who go to the con- vention will get all the ice water they want. Colonel Martin is also preparing to appoint sixty doorkeepers from among the most competent and best indorsed persons he can find to serve in the coun- try. Among them will be several chiefs of police, who have expressed their will ingness to act. There will be no first and second assistant sergeants-at-arms as in former conventions. All will have equal rights and authority and take their orders only from Colonel Martin. Colonel Martin left tonight for St. Louis to take advantage of any mistakes the sergeant at-arms there may make and get point CTS. Tomorrow night Messrs. Harrity, Sherrin, Sherley, Prather and Canda will mission and will probably remain there until the close of the convention.
 The committee adjourned to meet at the call of the chair, probably in a weeks time, at the Palmer house, which will be the permanent meeting place from now until the convention closes, as well as the headquarters of Colonel Martin.

THIEVES ARE BUSY.
Some of the Most Recent Samples of Their
 Handiwork.


 Thieves have been robbing things rath- CT high during the past week, and in or der to catch up with the guilty parties the officials have been as dumb as oy- sters, working strictly on the quiet and keeping their own counsel.
 The house of J. H. Heineke, on Eighth avenue and Twenty-fourth street, was entered while the occupants were away from home and a suit of clothes, coat and pants were stolen. The thief left his own coat as a reminder of his visit.
 The residence of Major Mccoy, near Fifth avenue and Twenty-second street, was entered at night while the occupants were absent and the wardrobes and bu- reau drawers were ransacked, but noth- ing of conseC Ience was missed.
 The offices of the National Guarantee Loan and Trust company and the Electro Libration company, Twenty-first street, near Third avenue, were entered and ev- cry drawer was gone through and papers scattered helter-skelter. MT. J. w. Webb lost about $1 worth of stamps and 50 or 75 cents in money. MT. G. c, Arlington lost two pair of spectacles and $1 worth of stamps. Checks to the amount of $22, payable to the Electro Libration compa- ny, were taken from the drawer and left lying on the table. Entrance was effect ed from the court between the buildings.

If the Laurada Brings the Spanish War;
 ships Afoul of the Gunboat
 Kingston, Jamaica, June 13.-The alleg- ed filibustering steamer Laurada, which arrived at Port Antonio some days ago, as it is said, having landed large quan- tity of munitions of war on the Cuban coast, sailed today. As soon as she left port she was followed by Spanish war ship, which has been waiting her depart- ure. Abreast of the Spanish vessel was a British gunboat. It is reported that the captain of the Laurada intends to keep within a marine league of the Ja- maican coast until his vessel, which is a speedy one, outruns the Spanish war ship, when he will stand out to sea. If the Spaniard fires on the Laurada when she is in British waters she will have the British gunboat to deal with.

TALK WITH A CONGRESSMAN
Hon, Samuel Robertson's View
 of Politics.
BELIEVES IT WILL BE BOIES
Mckinley Has No Lead Pipe Cmch-Nether Party Will Stradde to Hon.
 Oscar W. Underwood.

Hon. Samuel Robertson, congressman from the Sixth Louisiana district, passed through the city last night. He is hurry ing home, he stated to a State Herald reporter to be present at the convention which nominates his successor, and he is desirous of becoming that nominee. He has been a representative since the Fiftieth congress, having succeeded his father, Hon. E. w. Robertson. He is a man of ability and one of the most popu- lar men in congress. He Is a strong ad- Vooate of free and unlimited coinage of i silver at IS to l, and says there is no doubt that Louisiana will send a free silver delegation to Chicago.
 ''The tidal wave" he remarked, 'in favor of the white metal that started three months ago means the success of democracy. MT. Boies, in my opinion, will be the democratic nominee. He has been an uncompromising free silver ad- Vocate, and besides is a man against whom not a word can be said Senator Allen, the chief leader of the populist party, says that he has known MT. Boies for years as man of unimpeachable morals, a brainy lawyer. and that he would make most excellent president. However, Senator Allen said he would not vote for him.
 "The populites are voting against their enemies and not for their friends. In the south they work and vote with the gold standard republicans, and in the north they vote and work with the gold standard democrats. It is a dangerous debt settling party"
 Congressman Robertson paid a very high compliment to Hon. Oscar w. Un- derwood, who, he said, was one of the brainieSt young men the south had brought to the front in years, and his genial disposition had made him friends among both political parties.
 Speaking of the congressional contests he expressed himself as having greater fears on this line than in the election of a president Throughout the union, he remarked, since the republican landslide two years ago new districts have been formed and in the interest of the demo- cratic party, and for this reason it is go- ing to take very hard work for the dem- oerats to succeed In securing working majority in the next house, it matters not what advantage they obtain.
 His opinion is that the democrats will adopt plain and unequlvocal free silver platform and the republicans will meet it with a similar plain gold standard platform.
 While Mir Mckinley is leading he does not believe his nomination is altogether certain. The republicans are very conf dent of electing their ticket and will make no compromises, either as to men or measures.
 When asked as to his views on Mir Cleveland's administrat ton the congress- man said he did not care to talk for the press on that subject but was sorry to say that he had not been able to vote with MT. Cleveland on any of the leading questions the president had advocated

Since the announcement a few days since that Mr William M. Lindsay, the most expert stenographer in the state would instruct a limited number of pu- pills (male and female) in shorthand and typewriting and care of the typewriter he has received letters from Mississippi and Tennessee and from various DOT tions of Alabama. Among these letters are three asking that MT. Lindsay select the most efficient of the class for office purposes. This is really more than he expected, but they only show the con fidence the people have in anything Mir. Lindsay says about shorthand or type writing as we'll as about typewriters
 If there is any one who has not talked with MT. Lindsay about the three months course he proposes to give no time should be lost. for it is not every day you can get instruction in these lines from one having an experience of twenty years to draw from.

UNION OF FORCES.

The silver platform is broad and ex-
plicit and covers. without equivoca-
tion, every part of the money-ques-
tion exactly as advocated by the Peo-
ple's Party. The Washington gath er-
ing was notable one, both in point
of numbers, and the represen tive
character of the men who attended.
Prominent Democrats and Republi-
cans were there from every point of
the compass and it is gratifying to
note the patriotism and zeal manifest
ed in every line OF the proceedings.
Mayor Turner Of Lansing, Mich, who
was the Republican candidate for gov
ernor in 1896, was present and active
throughout. Ex-Congressman Hatch,
of Missouri. was also present and took
an active part. as did score of others
equally prominent. Itseems that 1860
is sure to repeat itself and this nation
will again throw off the CALLING yoke
fas tened upon it by the cowardly pi-
rates and cut thrOatS OF Europe and
America. Well done. silver men Of
the Washington conference Hence
forth let there be no more friction,
and we will clasp hands as a band OF
brothers. Let patriots everywhere
line up, touch elbows and face the
common enemy. The national silver
convention will be composed OF about
1.2OO delegates and the Peoples Party
convention of about 300. The meet
ings Of these bodies at the same time
and under the same roof, though in
different halls. will be the sight of
lifetime, and to witness it one could

having landed security to pledge will
be benefited by the new money. The
objection is without force. The bor-
rover will be sure to pay out the mon
ey for property and labor, at increased
prices, measured by the degree of the
increased volume OF money. So then,
view the matter as we will, when
money is increasing and prices are
rising, no man-Nith property or labor
to sell can escape being benefited.
The storm cloud may discharge itself
ON the mountain top but every rill
and valley will be benefited as surely
as water runs down hill. Money. like
water, has its own fixed laws OF circu-
lation, which are as easily understood
and as inevitable in their action as
the law Of gravitation. All men
should study them and secure their
right use for the benefit Of society.
The following figures are taken
from the New York clearing house re-

of the clearings will reveal the foot

Liberty is to be dethroned and the

Debt is slavery.

II the note is small the debtor may
only be temporary slave. But If it
is large enough so that it requires all
OF the Surplues products of his labor
to pay the interest he is slave for
life, and his children after him.
This is industrial slavery. This is
the kind tnat the banker wants to
fasten upon the people.
He seeks to do it under the plea Of

it seeks to destroy human liberty.

BURNS GENIUS.

Where'er a ship upon the ocean swings
Tonight, before the mariners seek their
pillows
My song shall sail on their 'melidious wings.
Like sea-brds DER the phosphorescent
pillows
BY Indian river and Australian mine,
And by the wall of China's old dominions
Shall fan the air to music with it's pinions.
The Canadian winter hears my name
Fen where the trapper's northern home is
chosen,
The songs Of Scotland, mingling with the
Warm all within, though all without be
frozen.
BY Californian shores and forests old.
Where, like a mighty bard new realms
discerning,
The gray Pacific, over sands of gold.
Chants his great song, the glittering metal
spurning.
In new-built towns. and round the miners
lamp,
Or on the plains, or by the Colorado;
Where'er the far adventurous train may
camp,
My song tonight shall cheer the deepest
shadow
Or in the snow-beleagured tents OF strife,
BY jocund fires, or beds of painful story,
Health shall take courage and the sick new
life,
To hear of Wallace, and of Bruce's glory.
