Mexico City, June 12.-Advices received here

THE EMPIRE CORNEREO.
FiHbusterng Ship Watched by
Cruiser an Harbor of COnnto.

Washington. June 12.-The United States
cruiser Marblehead has cornered the American
steamer Empire in the harbor of Corinto. Mica
ragua, and the moment the little American yes
sci attempts to leave the Nicaraguan coast it is
believed the warship will seize it for the part it
played in assisting Guatemalan rebels.
Both the State and Navy departments have
been advised of the presence Of the warship
and the steamer in the Nicaraguan port. The
Cabinet considered the case to-day, and is be-
lieved to have decided to punish the American
ship
The Empire sailed from San Francisco several
weeks ago, and is said to have carried more than
one hundred men, number of field guns and
much ammunition to the Guatemalan rebels at
San Jose. After unloading its cargo, the steam
er sailed back TO Corinto, where 1t had cOaled
before going to Guatemala. 1t is charged that
the Empire acted for short time as a kind Of
navy for the rebels and spread terror along the
coast of the little republic. which has hitherto
confined its warfare to the land.
Nicaragua is believed to have violated neu-
trality by allowing the Empire to coal at Corinto
and start for San Jose when, 1t is alleged no at
tempt made to conceal the destination of
the ship or the nature of its cargo.

MORTON TRIAL STARTS.
Policeman, Friend of Berthe Claiche,
alleged Periurer.

In a scathing opening address yesterday As
sistant District Attorney Ely arraigned Harry
Morton the policeman who is on trial charged
with perjury at the trial OF Berthe Claiche.
The case was continued before Justice Scott in
the Supreme Court. Mr.. Ely said the defendant
had made false statements in the Claiche trial.
that he knew he was making illegal arrest
when he had no warrant and had not seen the
offence committed; that the meeting between
Berthe and Emil Gendron was arranged by the
defendant, and that Morton had had improper
relations with the Claiche woman.
Continuing, Mr.. Ely said that when Morton
testified that he heard Gendron say. IF you
have pinched, I'll kill you when I get out"
he was knowingly testifying falsely, for Gen
dron could not have said that as he could not
speak English After the shooting Mr.. Ely said
that Morton had got himself detailed to the
District Attorneys Office that he could help
Berthe He said that he would show that the
defendants testimony was false in other par
ticulars in his efforts 10 shield the woman.
After the court stenographer had read from
the records of Morton's testimony at the Claiche
trial. PatrOlman Clarence Martineau. who was
a fellow member with Morton of ex-Commis-
sioner McAdoo's vice squad. and who with
the defendant on the night that Gendron was
shot was called TO the witness stand by the
prosecution. On the morning preceding the
Biliafer, another policeman. and himself. that
he was going TO arrest "a big fellow" and
wanted them TO help him. The trio were joined
that evening by Berthe. and then they walked
along Seventh avenue until the woman pointed
out man as the one that Morton wanted TO
arrest While the three policemen were holding
Gendron the witness said. the woman suddenly
pulled out revolver and shot him.
Under examination. the witnesses said that
they took Bertha in patrol wagon, and on the
way to the station the girl said. Harry. Harry.
what shall l do?'' TO which Morton replied.
Never mind; just keep quiet and everything
will be all right. You Will be out in couple OF
days" Asked if he had heard Gendron say, IF
you have me pinched I'll kill you when 1 get
out" the witness said that ne had not Con-
tinuing. Martineau testified that Morton said
that he would have things fixed" and asked
his brother policemen 10 hang together with him
and everything would come out all right The
witness said that Morton made out the report OF
the tragedy.
After counsel for the defence had cross-exau-
tned the witness TO several minor points re-
garding the shooting. he was excused and
Martha Francis, who said that she lived az the
Rescue Mission, called. She testified that
she knew Morton and Bertha Claiche for about
four years, and thai they We're Intimately ac-
quainted. Witness said she had carried several
letters from Bertha while she was in the Tombs

PACKERS UP IN SENATE.
Bill Relaxing Livestock; Transporta-
ton Rules Passed.

Washington, June 12.-The Senate to-day de-
voted much of its time to discussion of the bill
extending to thirty-six hours the time that
livestock may be carried in transit without un-
loading. Senator Warren was in charge of the
measure, and 1t debated at length. During
the discussion there was reference to the pro-
posed legislation for the regulation of packing
houses. and Senator Lodge said the packers were
standing in their own light in not inviting the
most rigid inspection. The bill was passed. The
bill Incorporating the Lake Erie and Ohio ship
canal also discussed at some length but
It's further consideration was postponed until
tomorrow.
The bill extending the time that livestock may
be kept in without unloading was opposed
by Senators Lodge, Scott and Spooner, who
contended that an extension of time would work
a cruelty. Senator Bailey advocated it, saying
that it was impossible TO enforce the existing
law, and that the President had directed that
the law be suspended during the present Con-
gress. Senator Bailey spoke of Senators who
knew nothing about cattle shipping, and Sen
ator Spooner replied that While there were many
subjects he knew nothing about he. like some
others, did not profess 10 know all about every
thing. Explanations followed, Mr.. Spooner say
ing that he had not intended 10 reflect on Mr..
Bailey.
Senator Lodge said that since the great bene-
factors OF mankind, the packers, who
being prosecuted, had undertaken to supply the
entire country with the best meat he had seen
few carloads of cattle in the Eastern states
Proceeding on the same line, he said the Chicago
packers had entered the project of driving
all local butchers out of business. He expressed
the opinion that the House would have done
well to legislate the alleged packing house
abuse without discussion as the Senate had
done
Senator Warren protested against the connec-
tion Of the cattle growers with the packers say
ing that the former had far more to complain
of as against the packers than had the public
at large.
Mr.. Lodge said that the Chicago packers were
standing in their own light in trying to prevent
legislation. If they had not been absolutely
stupefed by greed" he said, they would have
welcomed inspection that would assist them in
reaching the markets of the world"
Senator Hopkins declared that the Chicag go
packers were not obstructing legislaton that
they will welcome inspection or anything that
will stop the hysteria that is sweeping over the
world"
Mr. Patterson declared with reference to the
packing house legislation that the cattlemen
were demanding It. and that they desired that
il should come quickly. Mr.. Lodge said he had
no intention of comparing the cattle growers
with the packers but that he had simply
ferred TO the packers to emphasize his point.
The bill then passed without division.
