The caae of William H. Laldlaw against
Russell Kage was decided resterday afternoon
in favor of the plaintiff, to whom the jury
awarded $26,000 damages alter aa hour's de
liberatJoB. A verdict favorable to the plaintiff
had been anticipated br those who had
watched the oaae throughout, to an extent In
dicated br the fact that beta of two to ono on
audi a verdict were freelr offered but timidly
taken. The ease was given to the jurr at 3:00
o'clock and the verdict waa recorded at 4:67.
In the morning Justice Leslie Russell of Og
densburg and Juatioe Peckham of the Court of
Appeals at on the bench with Judge Patter
son, and very many lawyers occupied seats
within tbe bar. a number of them having
ladies with them.
Col. .lame recalled Frank Robinson, tbe
young broker's clsrk who was outside the par
tition In Mr. Sage's office when the explosion
occurred In which Laldlaw was injured, and
endeavored to restore his testimony to the
shape It waa In before Mr. Cboate's eroca-ex-amlnation
of tha witness on Thursday after
noon. But he remained a good witness for
the plaintiff, as he could not be Induced to
modify his tsatlmony. brought cut by Mr.
t'boate. that from the time he saw Norcreaa
draw a pistol he did not ngaln look at Sage
and Laldlaw. aad that Sage might have had
time to draw Laldlaw toward him In that
Interval.
Mr. Sage was recalled br Mr. Cboete and
told to hold up to tba light the diagram which
baa been referred to as tbe Saga diagram, and
sar If ha could not see partially erased lines
which showed that. a. at flrat mads, tbs dia
gram Indicated that It waa Impossible for a
man sitting in Mr. Sage's private office to see
tbe table where Sage and Laldlaw stood when
the explosion oocurred.
Witness admitted that he aaw evidences of
alterations, but would not ear that he could
tell what they Indicated. Mr. Cboete offered
tbe diagram In evidence, but It was ruled out
Then he called Mr. Taggert junior counsel for
tho defence, and. making him a witness for
the plaintiff, questioned him about, the dia
gram, and thereafter again attempted to get
It In evidence. He was very much in earnest,
and counsel oa both sidee displayed much
heat during this Incident and concerning
soma remarks about an uncalled witaesa. the
man Janice, who .at In the prlvateofllee at tbe
time of tbe explosion. What all the feeling
waa about waa not made clear until Mr.
I'hoate referred to the uncalled wltaeaa in his
Bumming up.
CoL James began bis summing up for the de
fendant at 11.30 and rspoke until 2 o'clock. He
referred to tbe assertion made by Noah Davia
in hla opening for the plaintiff that Mr. Sage
should have "jollied" Noreroes.
" I know of one such instance." said CoL
James. ' A man whoae name waslMano wae
approached by a lunatic who threatened him
with a club. Mr. Mann thought ha would aaaa
the situation by treating the lunatic aa Judge
Davis think Mr. Sage ahould have treated
Norrros. So he said ' Don't attack us. We
are twu. I'm a mau and Mr. Mann.' ' Well '
aid the lunatic, I'm a man beelde myself,
and we'll whip you.' aad be did."
CoL Jamee made bla best point in Insisting
that even if Mr. Sege did move Laldlaw ha
ooitld not br that act, have increased I-nid-
" Laldlaw ante claim ta have been moved
two feet," he aald. "and In that room, a room
net much bigger than the jury box. there was
no place Of eafety. Norton, who was aeveral
feet further from Neroroaa than Laldlaw was.
wa blown out of th window."
Col. Jamee waa making great headway with
the jury with aa argument baaed on hla aa
Mimptlon that it devolved upon the plaintiff to
abow that ha waa removed from a place of
safety to one of danger, when Mr. Choate In
terrupted him.
"lam compelled." said Mr. Choate "to
Buggest tbat CoL Jamee misapprehends the
law as It waa Indicated by the General Term In
considering thla case aa appeal. Ae a matter
of fact, the General Term eet up the principle
that it devolved oa tbe defendant to show that
the plaintiff would have received equal dam
ages In tbe place from which he waa removed.
assuming he was moved "
Judge Patteraon agreed with Mr. Choate.
Col. Jamaa made one curioua admlssloa. Re
said that be believed that the plaintiff real Ir
believes the story hs tell, but Is laboring un
der aa halluclatlon ; that the facts nave be
come distorted In his mind. In conclusion
t'ol. James asked tka jury that on getting to
the jury room they first tell each other what
each of them would have done la Mr. Sage's
situation, and ahould they not agree, then to
ask themselves bow tber can agree on what
Mr Sage's conduct should have been
"If In the awful terror of tbat moment Mr.
Sage did aclxe tbat youag man. It waa but tha
Involuntary aet of self preservation; not an
act which make defendant guilty of wrong
intention."
After recess Mr. Choate. who had been turn
ing over the pages of tha court Bible, began
on tha jurr this war:
Aad David put Bl. Band Is Bla bag aad took tB.ace a

" I have read you a etory from a book we all
enually revere, said Mr. choate. "and It
seem to me that this trial Is a good dsal like
that .lory In this caae I repreamt Davtd.
and myfrlend. CoL James. representeOollatli "
It bad been a etruggle for fife at tha en
trance of tba court room Judge Patteraon
lnaiated upon bis order that only aa many
peraona abould be admitted ae there were
seats for. Exactly at 3 o'clock Mr. Choate
bowed to tho Judge and to Judge 1'eckham of
tbe Court of Appeals who aat on tha bench
with him, was politely bowed to In return, and
began with the three veraee from I. bamuel
xvlL. quoted above.
Mr. I'hote reed In a commeadablr pioue
tone, closed the Bible, and after to had
likened tbe principals in tbe caae to David
and Goliath, planted tha knuckle of both
liande on the counsel table leaned far over
toward the jury, aad said In au Impreeeive
manner:
Mr eiieat has been stripped of bis armor.
aad lie hae no weapou but one little ntnooth
atone tbe truth. But your verdict shall be the
aword of Goliath which my David shall take
wherewith to cut off the head of the Itilllattee.
My friend on tbe opposite aide baa asked you
for a disagreement . that le, he baa asked you
to put yourselves In the place of Mr. Sag, and
challenged you to agree aa to what In bta
place you would have done uader the eireuaa
staacea developed on tbie trial lack for no
dlaagrwcment If you cannot agree for tbe
plantlff. agree then for I be defendant, but give
your verdict ..a the evidence Do not be moved
by eympetny "
A good deal haa been said about sympathy
duiing ths course of this trial, and It waa ex
pected that la tbe summing the jury would be
warned more by tbe oouaael for ilia defendant
than for tba plalaUff against sympathy. So
this warning of Mr. Choate' s attraoted a little
aeuaatiunal eurpriae. which geve bim au ex
eellent opportunity for hla point lie pauaad.
aud then, having every one wondering how be
was going to make use of tbe ernipaJhy plea,
&otaqulck laugh by aolemaly demanding of

proposition advanced haa been met with a
counter proposition tending to weaken the
force and effect of that award.
Tha President and the Department have also
Drastically abandoned all hope of securing a
continuance of the modus vlvendl. nnd If thla
hall prove to be the case the President has
decided to aet under ths authority of tbe act
of Congress of February. lHi'.i.
Several days ago Mr. Carter of Hie American
counsel before the Court of Arbitration was
summoned to Washington, and with Senator
Morgan, a member of the court, bad a long
conference wltn tbe 1'resldent and Secretary
Greeham. The result of that conference
wan thst the President waa convinced
that there waa existing authority sufficient
for the I'nitod Stales to act of Ita own accord
II Great Britain maintained ita apparent nlll
tude of delay. The whole aubject waa dis
cussed to-day. Mr. Greeham laying before the
Cabinet a new bill, incorporating certain regu
lations In line with the award, the passage of
which, he said, wonld-lndlcate to England that
the United States desired the cooperation ahe
had. prior to tbe meeting of tbe Court of Arbi
tration, pledged hereslf to give. The Impera
tive need of prompt nation was shown, and the
instructions issued te the Secretary of tbe Navy
Indicate that such action will be taken.
Secretery Herbert waa directed by tbe I'ree
Ident to assemble all the fleet be possibly
could In Pacific waters, and Immediately after
the Cabinet meeting secret ordere were Issued
to the proper officers for the gathering of a
fleet to escort ths fur seal herd through the
northern Paoiflc Into llehrlnv Sea. beginning
with May 1, when the open season closes.
The Secretary already has twelve vessels at
his disposal for this work, and It Is said tbat
one or two more, possibly an armored cruiser.
mar be assigned to this work.
In an Interview thlc evening Senator Mor-
an. Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
elation, said that he was aatiifled with the
attitude of the Administration In refer
ence to the Behrlng Sea award, and that
the statute passed before the tribunal
met to provide for the execution of
the award when It should be made
will be enforced unlecsamodtis vlvendl should
be agreed upon between the two Governments,
which will give ample time after Mar 1 for
providing br law BUlTtclent safeguards
for tha seal herds both against oitlrens
ef tbe United States and of Great
Britain. Mr. Morgan added that ha expected
to be able to report from bla Committee on
Foreign Relations, on Mondnr or Tuesday
of next week, a bill establishing regulation
In detail which the tribunal had no power
to establish, and which will be satis
factory to both Governments. If tbs
bill that Is now pending In Parliament
ehould be substantially aa effective la lte
operation on British subjeots as the bill lie ex
pects to report will be upon cttlnens of the
I nlted State. Mr. Morgan eald the two Gov
ernments would he brought into agreement
which would result In the full and complete
enforcement of the award.
The hill which Mr. Morgan will report will
leave the President of the I nltod States In
full possession of tbe power conferred by the
act of 1S03, uader which there caa, be

Oae big strike aad two lockouts were the re
sults yesterday ef the warfare which la going
on la the unions of tbe building trade. Ther
arose out of the strike on the Mutual Reserve
Fund building oa Tueadar. The etrike there
began over the employment of some non-union
elevator men. but later tbe old trouble about
the steam litters' union's attempt to absorb
tbe helpers' union cropped up. The carpen
ters belonging to the I nlted Brothorbood of
Carpenters refused to go out. and it Is alleged
that tbe carpenter bad made a aecret com Pact
with the eteam Utters to resist tbe Board of

The latter appointed a committee of seven
to order strlkss wherever Urotherhood car
penters were employed. Brotherhood car
penters wsre found on the Manhattan Ufa.

The contractor on the two latter decided In

earpantere. numbering about 200 In all, so
tbat the other trades continued at work. The
contractor oa the Manhattan life building
would not listen to lbs committee, aad a gen

men out.

and a general meeting of the board of Walk

Wxsyiixn-roit. March 80. The Democratic
party In the Houaa of Representatlvee la not to
have the misfortune of a Speakership fight
at this time. It Is well that this Is ao. for
probably the party la Congress has never
before been In such a disorganized and de
moralieed oondltion.
The makeshift Tariff bill, and Prestdant
Cleveland's veto of the Seigniorage bill, which
passed both Houses br a large majority, aad
which followed the long financial discussion,
to say nothing of the many unimportant
matters that have created III feeling within
the party, have almoat split the Democ
racy In two. But for this fact Speaker
Crisp would gladly have aeeeptod the
high honor that haa bean tendered him. He
will sacrifice himself for the good of his party
and put aside the crown for the praaent. la
view, however, of the fact that Judge Crisp Is
In many respects the ablest public maa in
Georgia to-dar. and aa Gov. Korthen strongly
appreciate this fact It Is probable tbat at tha
expiration of the term for which the late
Senator Colquitt waa elected, which Is the 4th
of March. 1805. Mr. Crisp will be elected a
Senator for the full term of six rears, sod that
in the meaa time some maa will bo appointed
to fill out the unexplrnd term In tbe Senate
who will not be a formidable rival. Tbla, at
least. Is tho programme marked out br Mr.
Crisp's friends, but It is possible that Gov.
Northen. wbo has Ssnatorlal aspirations him
sslf. and who Is besieged by the friend of ether
candidates mar not be willing to band the
Senatorsblp ovsr to Mr. Crisp, as he does now.
Of course, if Mr. Crisp should accept tho ap
pointment aa Senator, he would be ta a posi
tion to make It Impossible for aay ooc to de
lect him for the long term, but whatever bla
future ohaooea might be, there le no doubt
that he performs au aet of great aelf-saartfloe

the same aa the first, except that to-day tha
defendant's testimony was not Interrupted by tLM
disputes between tbe lawyer. For more then
five hours he stood before the jury and con
tinued the Interesting story of hi life duiing
the ten years that he has been acquainted with , t
Madeline Pollard. Tho remarkable feature of 1
Col. Breckinridge's testimony, aside from his
Interesting and picturesque personality snd
his present unhappy surroundings. In the laet
that in his narratives he Is denying unequivo
cally and in detail every Important statement
made by the plaintiff and the witnesses in her
behalf, except tbe one claim tbat he held im
proper relations with tier To-day Col. Breck
inridge denied absolutely that he ever gave the
plaintiff the slightest Indication that he in
tended to marry her. He also denied tbat he
ever had even aa intimation, until this suit ,
was brought, that Miss Pollard had ai any
time given birth to a living child, or that he'
was responsible for her children. He said,
moreover, that on three separate occasion
plaintiff threatened to kill him. A noticeable
feature of CoL Breckinridge's testimony Is
that ha makes his dsalal of svsry charge so
sweeping that it Includes all the testimony
presented to the court in behalf of tbe plain- i
tiff, so tbat her ease. If CoL Breckinridge ie I
tolling the truth, stands forth as a shsm and
a fraud, without ona partiole ot oundatlont
from beginning to end. V
CoL Breckinridge la beginning to lose the air p,
of oarelassness and nonchalance that has if
marked his appearance slnos the trial began -.
until yesterday. Tbe fearful ordeal of being 1
compelled to stand In the witness box before a It
jury and tell every circumstance of his life for !
the past ten rears, while a crowd ot curious- i
m Inded. scandal-loving Amarloan cit i.ens look j !
bim In the face. Is having a marked effect upoa j
li I m. It waa eaar to aea to-dar that he waa
embarrassed aad 111 at ease, and that he '
was making a supreme effort to main
tain his composure. He spoke deliberately
and chose his words with care. He could
not be kept dowa to the questionings
ot Major Butterwortb. but when he had any
thing to sar rattled on In his musical, high
pitched voice until he had said all that be
wanted to, and all tbe time he talked Miea
Pollard, her faoe as white as chalk, bad her .
eres fastanad upon him. Several times when
he denied the truth of statements made by
her aad ber witnesses she seemed about to
rise and either address bim or the jury. Once
or twice she did cry out broken sentences, but
her companion, Mra Ellis, and her counsel.
Mr. Carlisle, succeeded in pacifying hsr. aad t
she remained quiet until the court adjourned i
for the dar. 1
At too claaa of each day's Session Miss Pol
lard aad Mra K!hj remain la their eeets until
the court room Is practically oleared, and ti.un
ther go Into tho corridor and down the stone
steps to the inn.iu.nt floor, pass through tho
lower eorrldor to the outside of the building
and across the street to Mr. Carlisle's ofllcee.
As tbe two women emerge esoh day from
ths doorway into the street ther find
a double file ot men ranged along
the walk from the door to the street
curb through which ther arc compelled to
paaa while tha mea atara at tha plaintiff la
this famous breaeb of promise ease. As Miss
Pollard passes through this 11ns of msn she
never raises ber ere, but clings to the arm ot
Mra Kills, with hsr face set. and the women
hurry along as fast as their (set caa carry
them.
Col. Breckinridge took the stand a tew mln
utee after the court waa called to order. Wbea
Major Butterwortb put the first question CoL
Breckinridge began the telling of bis story
with no more trepidation than he shows when
addressing the House of lteprosentatlves. He
did not -.it down, but atood leaning easily oa
tbe Judge's desk, his ringers fumbling ner
vously with bis watch chain.
Major Butterwortb started proceedings by
showing the deiendant the little deeoratlve
baeket whieh the plaintiff says was given her
by Col Breckinridge with tb remark. "Made
line, thl waa lssy's meaning Ins dead wife1. .1
and 1 want yen to have It" col. Breckinridge
Bald tbe basket was given to his late wife by
her sister. Miss Desha, who had brought it
from Nantucket and he had aeon it lai In
tbe furnlehed rooms he bad taken when
hie children went back to Kentucky. He
denied tbat be gave it to Miea Pol
lard. " I did not give her the basket "
he said. " I did not know she had the basket.
I did not give It to her at the train. I did not
take her to the train. I did not see Alls Pol
lard tbat night 1 did not ee her at alL I
learned that aome baaket was In her posses- tj
slon after the suit wa Iliad, but I did not
know what basket it was until it waa produced 1
here" CoL Breckinridge said he bad no i
knowledge as to how the basket came Into
Mis Pollard' possession, "i onlr know that
it was not given to her. directly or indirectly,
br me. uor with my consent or connivance."
"Now. Colonel, aald Major Bulierworth.

" I entered the car for Lexington and found

ol Breckinridge then told of going to Sarah
Geas's bouse with the plaintiff on their arrival
in Lexington, which he said was suLstantlailv
as told by Miss i ollartl He said he left Mlas
Pollard at tbe door of the house, promising te
