scented at the meeting.

subject of discussion during the whole
dav. the two committees to which the

report OF the Committee on Eastbound
Rates was so long that it caused the
adjournment.

Der and October at Illegal rates, Mr..

ting. and hardly believed that it was

BUTLER, THE MURDERER.
His Trial and Conviction in Austria
lia-ScnsationaI scenes.

y
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-Thc steam
ship Alameda, just arrived from Aus
tralan ports, brings from Sydney papers
describing the trial and conviction Of
Butler. the murderer who was captured
i'm san Francisco. and returned to Aus
tralia, and who has since been hanged.
The trial lasted four days, and in some
respects was sensational On the last
day of the trial Butler attempted 10
cut his throat with the metal tag taken
from a plug of tobacco. The attempt was
discovered. however. before he had done
any serious damage. On the same day
while being led into court. Butler be
came uncomfortable, and had a fierce
struggle with his guards. He was finally
dragged into the courtroom, handcuned,
and forced to keep still.
When the prosecution had finished its
case Butler was asked if he had any
thing TO say The murderer was in a
state Of collapse, apparently, and the
court adjourned until the afternoon. to
give him time TO recover. He then, in a
low tone, made a rambling statement
that he started for the mines with Weller
at Wellers solicitation. On the way
Weller acted queerly, and when he dis
played pistol, Butler thought that Wsl-
Ter was going to shoot him. Instead,
however, Weller placed the pistol to his
own head and when Butler grabbed IL
in an endeavor 10 take it away, the
weapon was discharged, and Weller was
shot through the head.
Butler said he had used Weller's papers
to enable him TO ship as a sailor, as he
had no papers OF his own.
The case was then given to the jury
which deliberated for an hour and TWEEN
ty minutes before bringing in a verdict
of guilty. The Judge then pronounced
sentence. and when he concluded, witt
the words, "And may God have mercy
on your soul" Butler quickly retorted
And may lie have mercy on yours. too
