that the dismissal Of their demurrers
and other adverse decisions in the pre-
liminary proceedings had demonstrated
that there was prejudice against them
on the part of the trial Judge Gin
Lottery. They also charge the judge OF
the county bench (Gordon) with aiding
in bringing the prosecution, and that
the latter was Influenced by political
enmity and was unduly fastening the
trial, with the object of poisoning the
minds of the members of the legislature
and thus defeating the reelection OF
United States Senator Quay.
Eloquent argument was made today
in support of the petition by Attorney
David Z. Watson Of Pittsburg and
Rufus Sharpley Of Philadelphia, and in
opposition to the motion by ex-District
Attorney Graham. Over three hours
were occupied in the delivery of the
argument of these three eminent law
yers. The court then took the matter
under advisement and adjourned.

PATRIOTIC TRoUBADoURs.

How the Black Patti Company Enter
tanned q Republican Meeting at Buffalo
Last October the Black Patti Trouba-
dours, who will be seen in Billings
next Friday evening, sang in the
Buffalo music hall. The vast audi
ence room, with a seating capacity Of
8, 900 and standing o for an addi-
tional 1900, was damned at every per-
furmance. A sensational incident &C.
CURED on the second night. The trou-
badours, at the solicitation Of the re-
publican state committee, gave up their
rights to the music ball in favor of Col.
Theo. Roosevelt and Chauncey Depew,
who had come to Buffalo to address
their followers. Messrs. Voelkel &
Nolan, managers of the company, not
only met the request of the committee,
but volunteered the services of the
troubadours sextette in the musical pro-
gramme arranged for the meeting. 1t
was here where the unexpected haI-
pened. On the night Of the meeting
the hall was packed to suffocation by
people who came to greet and be enter
tanned by the eloquent Chauncey and
the gallant rough rider. After the
band had played several numbers the
troubadours sextette came on the stage
unannounced and somewhat to the sur
prise Of the audience, which was dis
posed to give the singers respectful at
tention.
They sang songs Of the camp and
plantation. but when they began to
voice the strains Of the "Star Spangled
Banner" the effect was electrifying.
The 5000 enthusiastic and patriotic
citizens arose, and, to the waving of
the Stars and Stripes, sang the chorus of
the national anthem with a volume of
tone almost Understandable. Even the
staid and stolid committee seated on
the stage were carried away by the en-
thusiasm. The troubadours attempted
to retire from the stage after their first
vocal offering, but were recalled by the
committee to lead tho house in singing
"Hail Columbia, "The Red. White
and Blue and "A Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight"

INSTRUCTIONS TO GEN. MILLER
He Is Told to Land and Get in Com
munication with the Insurgents.

He Is Told to Land and Get in Com
munication with the Insurgents.
Washington, Jan. "a good deal of
reticence is exhibited at the wal depart
ment relative to the state of affairs at
Iloilo. The governments instructions
to General Miller at Iloilo were to land
and get in communication with the
insurgents. This is as far as his orders
have gone, except when he has estab-
lished communication with the insur-
gent officials and people he is ia make
public the purposes of the United
States. Not a shot is to be fired by the
forces of this country unless they are
attacked or until further orders are
given from here.
This programme was agreed upon
between Mckinley and Alger several
days ago. Alger was at the White
house some time this afternoon. He
stated in most. emphatic terms no
alarming news has come from Otis and
he did not believe a shot had been fred
SC far or that n would be fired. He is
confident Miller will be able to handle
the situation successfully and obtain
control Of Iloilo without bloodshed.
He is Of the opinion the insurgents
have been SO long imposed upon they
are naturally suspicious and fear the
worst if they surrender strongholds into
the hands Of the United States. The
policy to be adopted now is a gentle
one. Persuasion will be used before
powder. The president, it is said, also
views the situation in a similar light.

The six regiments OF the regular
army ordered to Manila are to be hast
ened to their destination. Three are to
leave from San Francisco within a
week and the remaining three will en-
bark from New York within a fort
night. Upon their arrival in the Phil
ippines, an equal number of regiments
OF volunteers will be returned to the
United States for muster out. It is
probable that all the regiments Of vol
unteers, upon reaching San Francisco,
will be mustered out at that port and
given travel pay to their homes. This
will furnish the men nearly 5000 apiece
and will be much more advantageous
to them than if the regiments were sent
to the point Of muster in and there
given sixty days pay.

THE SKYLARK'S SONG.

Rev. Mr. J. G. Wood, in an article
on The Wonders of the Spring." says
that the volume Of sound produced by
the skylark is most wonderful. The
lark ascends until it looks no larger
than a nudge, and can with difficulty
be seen by the unaided eye, and yet
every note will be clearly audible to
persons who are fully half a mile from
the nest over which the bird utters its
song. Moreover, it never ceases to
sing for a moment>a feat which seems
wonderful to us human beings, who
find that a song of six or seven NIL
nutes in length, interspersed with
rests and pauses, is more than try
ing. Even a practiced public speaker,
though he can pause at the end OF each
sentence, finds the applause of the au-
dience very welcome relief. More
over, the singer and speaker need to
use no eXertiOn save exercising their
voices. Yet the bird will pour out
continuous song of nearly twenty mi
nutes in length and all the time has
to support itself in the air by the con-
slant use of its wings"
