Captain Albers declares that the story
that he attempted to make d new record
with the steamer on this passage is with
out foundation. He stated today that he
did not try to make tpenty-four knots an
hour He said however. that he had low
cred the Deutschiand's own record by
steaming an average of 23-3S knots an hour
against 25.36 last year
The Hamburg American official also

THE CASE Or MOLINEUX.
SIR. Hill Resumes His Argument for
the Prosecution.

BUFFALO. June 19-Interret in thy ar
gumeuts before the Court of Appeals for
and against a new trial for Roland b
Moiinsux. now under sentence of death
for poisoning Mrs katherine J. Adams,
does not abate, and in spite of a heavy
rain storm, as large a crowd as ever was
present this morning, when ex-senator
HiU resumed his speech in opposition to
the plea of the appellant
The justices have followed the attorneys
very closely during the arguments and
questions are frequently asked to clear
up the legal points involved in the matter
AIr- Hill has made public the points on
which he viii dwell N his brief and argu-
ment against the granting of a new hear
iHE for the convicted man There are ten
points, summarized as follows:
The verdict was warranted by the eyi-
dence and no other verdict could have
been rendered honozably-
The evidence showing that Barnet was
poisoned by the defendant was admitted
properly
There was no error in the admission Of
expert handwriting testimony
There is nothing to show that Moli-
neuXs testimony before the coroner was
not legally admissible at the trial.
The courts charge was correct
There was no error in the district at
toTney's address
There was no material error in the
rulings
The defendant had a fair and impair
tiaI trial and the evidence established the
guilt of the defendant
There was a slight struggle between the
court attendants and people trying to gain
admission shortly before court convened
this morning The dep1Ity sheriffs were
Obliged TO place themselves against the
door to hold back the men who pressed
against them Order was secured when
the space before the doors was barred.
In opening his address, Senator Hill
said that when court adjourned yesterday
he was entering upon the discussion of a
question Of the actual guilt Of the defend
ant, the vital and Owe rshadowing Ques-
ton in the case.
In the five hours OF argument by the
defendants counsel he said there was
not a single claim that his client was in
nocent- The word innocent did not es-
cape from his lips He casually made a
few references to his client and then
passed on the questions OF law in the
case
I am here TO convince your honors
there was no escape from the conclusion
that was reached and the necessity for
reviewing the case without regard TO
technical errors and consider solely the
guilt or innocence OF the defendant"
Mr.. Hill then decl8red there was no ne
cessity 70 discuss questions relating to the
letter boxes. in view of the evidence ad-
duced at the trial regarding them The
evidence was .sslrning that the man
who received the letters was the defend

THE ARMY CLOTHING FRAUD.
General Skaters Report Received
at the Var Depnrtrnent.

In response to a telegram calling for
statement in regard to reports that frauds
have been discovered IN the quartermas-
ter's department at San Francisco. Gen
eraI Shafter has wired an expla nation of
the matter The telegram sent by General
CCrbin and the reply OF General Shafter
are as follows:
The Secretary OF War desires 10 know
the nature of any report OF information
you may have concerning the widely pub
Iished alleged clothing frauds said to have
been discovered and reported upon by Col
oneI Afaus, of your staff It is desirable
from every point Of view that detailed
facts of any Importance be given the de-
partment before being exploited in the
newspapers. 4 brief statement of all
facts desired. "
San Francisco, Cal. June IS, 1871
Reference TO your telegram today, I
have refrained from making report re-
sarding clothing seized by Col. Adaus be-
cause the quantity was very small, and It
all appeared to have come from the same
man, a junk dealer who did business
around the PresiGio The clothing had
evide.tIy been sold 10 this peddler by sol
dIers and recruits. The junk man and his
son who sold it have been arrested by the
Federal authorities, and their case is be-
ing considered by the Federal grand jury
today
There is no shortage in any of the de-
partments here. This seized clothing
undoubtedly represents the accumulation
of articles which have been sold from
time to time during the past year or two
by the thousands Of soldiers who have
passed through san Francisco I do not
regard this matter as OF any Importance,
though II has been widely exploited by the
newspapers However, the seizure of
these articles and the arrests made viii
have the effect, 1 think, of discouraging
the purchase or sale OF soldiers wearing
apparel in this vicinity hereafter.
Following is an exact list Of the ar
dcles seized: Blankets, II pairs; Ieggins,
