"SWEAT BOARD" in COURT
Gambling Charge Calls in Testi-
mony Of Weather Officials.
Albert Bailey Says 1t Rained May 20,
1851 so He Is Probably
Innocent.

Everybody was puzzled-judge, jury, law
yers, reporters, Witnesses and all-in Judge
CoX's court room at the close OF proceed
iDgs yesterday by one OF tLosc curious look
ing papers sent out from the weather
bureau.
Everybody understands something about
them. Hardly anybody understands all or
even most that is III them. The paper was
offered by Attorney S. ID. TfuItt, who was
defending Albert Bailey against a charge
OF having set up sweat toard" nj a base
bali game on buzZards' Point, loot of South
Capitol street, when ban game was played
there on May 26 last.
The day was Sunday and an array OF
witnesses for the government swore that
ii was a bright, sunshiny morning, that ban
game was in progress and that Bailey,
who is a stout, ruddy-facc ccd young man
or twenty-five years, rejoicing in the nick
name OF Buster was having lots of
run and raking in Sunday shckeis with
his gaming device all the morning, after
or 10 O'Clock. The witnesses who saw
this were Policeman vermilion, william
Crown, Henry Kepetti, John Repetu, Charles
Edelin,, John Mulhall, and James Peter
sen.
on the other hand the defendant and his
mother, Mrs. Ellen Bailey. swore that he
was at home all the morning OF the day
in question. There was no ball game
that day, because IL was rainy, and he did
not set up his sweat board that day. Ii
was not denied that lie had such a gaming
device and might have used il at some
time, but not on the day named by the
witnesses.
Other witnesses who testified that the
day WAS rainy and no ball game was
played, were: Michael Hayden, Timothy
Flarity. George Stewart and Robert Taylor.
As "A clincher Mr.. Truitt introduced the
weather report for May &c, 1895, TO
show that ii rained that day. This showed
there was some hundredihs of an inch OF
that day, but nobody could
make out Just whether the precipitation
was rain or dew or what time ii fell.
Judge Cox permitted Mr.. Truitt TO summons
Chief Moore of the Weather Bureau. 10
explain the report and, as 1t was 3
O'Clock adjourned The. hearing till Ibis
morning
Chief Moore sent word that he would send
a representative OF the bureau TO give the
desired information.

CHAPMAN CASE ARGUMENTS.

VIII Proba bly, Go to the Jury Late
To-day.
The case of Elverton X. Chapman. the

to the jury late this afternoon.
The prayers for Instructions will be
offered this morning. and argument by
counsel will consume the remainder OF the
day.
In oyerruling the motion to instruct for
4 verdict for the defendant. Judge Cole read
from the opinion OF the court OF appeals
covering the points at issue, and said in
conclusion
II find the general rule to be that i'm
material averments are surplusage and
need not be proved. There are, however.
exceptions. One is. that il the allegation
is made with great particularly in the
indictment il must be proved in every par
ticIlar. although such particularly of
allegation was unnecessary. Again, in the
indictment for burglary. etc, if the in
strument with which the deed is done is
described in unnecessary detail, il is
then necessary that the proof should cover
these Details"
lie explained that the District attorney
probably put in the Indictment these i'm
material points. because the case went into
a new field OF litigation. and he wanted to
be on the safe side.

on His Meas sure


on His Measure.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Sewell pre-
sented resolution opposing the Presidents
views. 1t lies on the table.
Mr.. Hale. Rep, Maine, spoke on his bill
TO facilitate the construction and main
tenance of telegraph cable to the Ha-
waiian Islands by guaranteeing the interest
on the money actually expended. He urged
that such a cable would, in effect, give
notice to the world that the interests of
the two governments and peoples had be-
come so connected that all attempts at
Interference would cease.
Mr.. Allen, Pop Nebraska, made an argu
ment in favor of the government owner
ship of the proposed cable and of the Pacific
railroads, and Mr.. Hale's bill was then re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions.
Mr.. Peffer then took the floor and spoke
one hour and forty minutes, during which
time he denounced the issue of bonds, fav-
ored the free coinage of silver and con-
demned the use as money of such articles
as could be easily cornercd by bankers.
Resolutions on the death of the late Repre-
sentative Cogswell of Massachusetts were
laid before the Senate and adopted and at

FALSE CONCLUSIONS.

If the APPEAL and all its Silver party
friends had stayed and worked in the
lines Of the party they would have AS
sisted in making the free silver senti-
ment within its ranks SO strong that
a silver plank would have been GER
tain. But instead If doing this they
are endeavoring to draw out all OF
their element and Thus weaken the
cause where there is some show Of ac-
complishing results. The fonnda+iol
of the Republican party being protec-
ton it is not strange that silver has
been looked uren rs a side issue and
not paramount The News too an
nOunces its intertion Of remaining
true TO the party.-Naws.
Nothing could be further from the
facts in the conclusion reached by the
News that the cause OF silver has been
retarded by the Silver element leaving
the party. As long as the Republican
party could depend on having silver
men vote for the gold standard in the
general election, there was 10 neces-
sity of making any change.
The Republican party is a gold
standard party and the leaders have
never bothered their heads over any
request for bimetallism by the West.
They only laughed at it. But now
when the very existance Of the party
is threatened by the bodily withdrawal
Of the silver men from its ranks it
hastens TO offer concessions.
The leaders are alarmed and are
now willing to make a reality of the
protection plank in their platform
which was before only sham and pre-
tense. 1t meant prot ction to Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, but not to
Colorado and Nevada.
This hokus pokus game was played
so long that the party thought we
would stand it forever. Not until the
flag Of revolt was raised in the West,
was any consideration given to the
silver question.
Had not several thousand indeppn-
dent newspapers raised their voice in
protest during the past few years and
left the party ranks to emphasize their
sincerity, the silver question would
not be under discussion in the United
States today.

Silver men in the West will under
stand what kind Of a fight they will
have on hand in St. Louis from the
remark made in the New York con-
vention on Tuesday. As an indorse-
ment Of Governor Morton for Presi-
dent, the fact was recalled that among
those in Congress in 1S77-7S who op-
posed the Bland free coinage measure
in the House of Representatives was
Levi P. Morton.
The dreadful rumor reaches the AP-
PEAL that it is about to be made the
defendant in a lible suit growing out
Of the mint trials. If the party who
is anxious to distinguish himself in
court will hold on a little while he
will find some ether parties who are
likely to join him in the deal. If
they all have the same lawyer it will
be cheaper.
The Republican papers think the
Presidential nomination lies between
Mckinley and Morton. Both are rank
goldbugs who will veto any silver bill
passed by Congress. Yet the papers
who are getting ready to stand by the
q. O. D. and either OF these aspirants
say that no one a Guido them in
their devotion to the white metal.

A WORD WITH BRUlE.

MI. Barney Brule who has just fin
ished his term in Jail in Virginia City
is now in Carson. L is generally con-
ceded that he has been a good citizen,
a nan with many friends in Carson
and who vas more the victim of his
ignorance Of the law and bad advice,
than otherwise.
His friends and Deighbors consider
that having done as he did be was
persuaded by a false sense of loyalty
to the men who made a tool of him, to
shield them on the witness stand. He
must necessarily by this time realize
that he made d serious mistake in
having anything to do with the people
who made use of him and deserted
him in his hour Of trouble.
His plain duty now is to go before
the .. S. Grand Jury and tell who fur
nished him with the $500 he paid Ian
gevin. When he swore that he did
not visit Langevin's house he is con
tradicted by three witnesses. The tes-
timony Of these witnesses would con-
Wet him of perjury in any court of
justice and send him to the peniten-
tiary.
He can only expect leniency from
the Government by refusing any
longer to shield his guilty employers.
He "a only regain his place in pub
lie esteem by telling the Grand Jury
the truth. If he refuses he will be re-
garded as the friend and associate Of
witness bribers and regularly in their
employ and the Grand Jury are apt to
govern themselves accordingly.

The Mnceo Resolution.

1t would have been more in harmony
with the dignity of the Senate if the joint
resolution relative TO the killing of Gen.
Antonio Maceo which was introduced into
that body yesterday had been more mod
crate in tone. 1t may be that the story
that Gen. Maceo was murdered by the
Spanlards while entering the Spanish lines
under flag of truce is true, but it is not
yet certain that it is In fact. a most en-
phatic denial of the story comes through
Spanish sources. There is even a doubt
that he is dead.
If, however, the story of his assassina-
ton is true. then no words are strong
enough to express the feeling of detesta-
tion that all civilized people must feel for
those guilty of the foul deed and for Spain
if she upholds the assassns and approves
their act. But before using such harsh
language as is contained in the resolu-
ton. would it not have been advisable to
find out whether Gen. Maceo was be-
trayed and murdered?
1t is to be hoped that Maceo is not dead,
but that if he is. he was not led into
trap and shot to death. 1t is difficult to
conceive that soldiers wearing the uni
form of a proud nation would be guilty
of so heinous a crime. But, whatever
the facts are, it is due to Spain that they
should be known before she is subjected
to denunciation and condemnation in the
congress of the United States. However
great our sympathy for the struggling
Cubans may be, we cannot afford to be
unjust to a nation with which we are on
friendly terms. Even if we were not on
friendly terms with Spain, we should be
careful to do her no injustice While
there may be question whether the Unit
ed States have right to investigate the
killing of Maceo. still there will hardly
be any objection to their doing so pro-
vded their purpose is to find out the truth.
The stories of the killing which have been
printed are confusing. 1t seems strange,
to say the least of 1t, that Gen. Maceo
should have ventured into the Spanish
lines for the alleged purpose of agreeing
upon a settlement of the issues of the war
when he had no authority to agree to
any settlement and the party he was to
meet had no authority to speak for Spain.
Clearly there are some facts connected
with the killing which have not yet been
published

The Laurnda Matter

The Laurada matter grows interesting.
The dispatches announce that her con-
signee at Valencia, Spain, has disclaimed
her cargo. She was chartered at Messina,
Italy, and ordered to take cargo thence
to Valencia. Her captain protested
against taking the ship to Spanish port,
and was relieved of command by the own
ers, who ordered that she proceed to her
destination according to contract. No
matter whether she had been engaged in
filibustering to Cuba or not, she was then
engaged in legitimate carrying. and all
of her papers were in legal form.
Such being the case, and the vessel be-
ing in the carrying trade with the permits
sion and under the authority of the United
States government, and floating the stars
and stripes, the owners placed reliance
upon the ability of the United States gov
eminent to enforce respect for both ship
and flag. 1t would appear from the tenor
of the dispatches that the sending of the
Laurada from Messina to Valencia was
deliberate plot on the part of somebody
in Europe to get her into Spanish waters,
in the hope that she would be attacked
and that trouble between the United
States and Spain would grow out Of the
matter.
A Madrid cable of Saturday last gives
the impression that the Spanish authori-
ties are now rather disconnected at the
status of affairs, and have made efforts
to induce the captain of the ship to keep
her away from Spain. 1t seems, though
that the yankee means to fulfill his
contract. whatever may occur. The mer-
chant to whom the ship was consigned
has disclaimed her cargo, thus making
an effort to wash his hands of whatever
consequences may follow the arrival of
the ship at Valencia and an effort to dis
charge her cargo. A Spanish warship
was ordered to Valencia few days ago
and is supposed to be there now, awaiting
developments. 1t may transpire that the
little Philadelphia fruit steamer is now
on the greatest trip of her existence, and
that her present services to Cuba libre
will prove of incomparaby greater conse-
quence than all her former services com
bned.
