to screen himself by producing I'ostmasu

a policy." 'Th'. real question on trial Is
whether Brady received money from contractors
for ordering expedition." This goes to the quick
of the matter. The prosecution has piled up evi1

Mr. Dawes, from the committee on Indian affairs,
reported bad;, in the Senate to-day, the House bill,
(Identical with the one passe 1 by the Senate), authorizing
the leasing of the Salt Springs in the Indian
Territory and the appropriation of the royalty
therefrom t<> th? Cherokee school fund. Passed.
Mr. Piatt, from the pensions committee, reported,
and asked consideration of, an original bill to
amend section 4.702, title 57, of the Revised Statutes,
and for other purposes. lie explain* d that |
the bill was to meet a case where the widow
of a pensioner, after his death, draws
tiie pension in violation of the law,
without revealing the fact of the d-ath. The purpose
was to make the children's pension date from
the time at which the widow ceases to draw the
pension; that is, from the time of discovery, when
payment Is stopped, provided she has In til** meantime
supported the children. The bill made
another change in the law by providing tuat notorious
and adulterous conabltation by a widow
shall terminate the pension. With these executions
the existing statute was substantially reenacted.
In reply to an inquiry by Mr. Davis, of
West Virginia, Mr. Piatt added that the bill did
not entail any additional expenditure for pensions.
The bill w:;s passed.
Mr. Anthony reported from the printing committee,
as amended, the House Joint resolution
for the printing of reports of the director of the
geological survey.
After debate the committee was sustained (yeas
32. nays 27), and the smaller number of reports
ordered, with an additional 1,000 for sale, making
the total 11,000. The resolution then passed.
Tlie River nnd Harbor Kill Passed
Over the Veto*
At 2:10 the Senate moved to la? aside the sundry
civil bill till 3 p.m. and take up the river and harbor
bill.
At conclusion of reading of veto message a vote
was taken on passage of the bill over veto. It resulted?yeas,
41: nays, 16; so the bill has become
a law, having previously passed the House.
The senate bill for a $100,000 government building
at Leavenworth, Kan., was reported without
amendment and, on motion of Mr. Plumb, passed.
Mr. George introduced a bill appropriating $200,000,
to be expended under the direction of the Mississippi
river commission In the preservation and
improvement of the harbor of Vicksburg.
House of Representatives.
conference on tiib naval appropriation bii.l.
On motion of Mr. Robeson, the House insisted
on Its disagreement to the Senate amendments to
tho naval appropriation bill. The request of the
Senate for a conference was agreed to, and Messrs.
Robeson, Ketcham and Atkins were appointed
confcrces on the part of the House.
The Veto.
Mr. Page, under unanimous Instructions from
the committee on commerce, moved to take up the
river an 1 harbor bill and pass it, notwithstanding
the President's objections thereto.
Mr. Kasson moved to refer the bill and the President's
message to the committee on commerce,
with Instructions to the committee to report rjack
the bill and add thereto the following clause:
"ITcriihl, That no more than jJKOOO.OO'J of tlie
tot;il sum appropriated by this art sliail be expended
during lii^ current fiscal year for these
objects, subject to the limitation of amount provide;!
In this act, ant shall be applied for such of
those objects as are recommended by the engineer
In charge, Willi tiie approval of the Secretary of
War, as most Important to the general welfare."
The point of order was raised that it was not
competent for tiie House to refer with instructions
a biil will;h had been vetoed by the President;
and in orlerto simplify the matter Mr. Kasson
withdrew his motion, and merely moved to refer
the bill without Instructions.
Then another discussion arose as to whether
tills motion was in oriW, M* s-rs. Calkins and
Paire contending that a vetoed bill did not come
within ill provisions of rule 17; tlut pending a
d"inan1 for the previous question on tlie passage
of a bill a motion to refer shall be In order.
Messrs. Cox, R iblnson (Mass.) and Haskell
maintained that it was entirely competent for the
House to refer the measure.
The Speaker finally sai l that it had been settled
by practice that the motion to refer must be entertained,
but not until the proper time. The first
duty of the House under the Constitution was to
proceed to vote on the vetoed bilL If the previous
question were not ordered the motion to refer
| would be In order.
Mr. Kas-.on Inquired whether Mr. Page intended
to allow any debate, and on receiving a negative
answer demanded the yeas and nays on ordering
tiie previous question, but fulled to secure sufficient
strength to order them.
On ordering the previous question the vote by
division stood 121 to 8, and Mr. Browne raised tlie
point of no quorum. The vote by tellers stood 137
to 18, so the previous question was ordered.
Tlie Bill Passed Over tlie Veto,
This brought the House to the square vote on
the question "shall the bill pass, the objection of
the President to the contrary notwithstanding."
Under the Constitution the vote was taken by yeas
and nays, and resulted In?yeas 123, nays 59, more
than the necessary two-thirds. When the Speaker
declared the bill passed there was a demonstration
of applause.
The House this morning, In anticipation of the
vote, was quite full. The bulk of the vote for the
bill came from the southern and western members.
As many republicans as democrats, if not
more, voted for the bill over the veto. The bill
will be sent to the Senate at once.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL. 1
? (
Mr. Kuril and Other Wilnemes Ex- 1
nmined To-rtav-That Thousand I>oI- c
lartt-Uwiicnhip of the Capital and (
Critic Newspaper**
When the star route trial was resumed this ,
morning, Mr. French, ex-chlef clerk ot the con- '
tract office, was recalled to the stand by Mr. Wllsoils
and gave further testimony as to the routine
of the contract ofhce. 1
Mr. Wilson submitted the form ot a proposal, <
bearing date 18?2, which was objected to. :
The defence then asked a subpcena calling for
the "Acceptance Book" ot 1878, in the Second
Assistant Postmaster General's office, showing the ^
forms of advertisements and proposals In vogue s
then. ,
Mr. Wilson offered In evidence a tabulated state- j
ment made by Mr. French, sUowing the number of 1
routes bid upon at the letting ot 1878, by John W.
Dorsey, John R. Miner, J. M. Peck, J. II. Watts ^
and A. E. Boone. (
Mr. miss objected to the table so far as It ,
referred to parties not named in the Indictment. (
The court sustained the objection as to Watts, (
holding that Boone, according to the evidence for (
the government, was a member of the combination (
at the beginning.
Mr. Wlison then read the table, showing that
Dorsey put in 288 bids, and was lowest bidder on
48; Miner, 218 bl Is, lowest bidder on 4G; Peck, 199 ^
bids, lowest on 81; Boone, 445, lowest on 18; t
m iking an aggregate of 1,150 'olds put in, of which
143 were the lowest submitted. J
Upon cross-examination, the witness said that *
he could name no case, prior to July 23,1876, where *
expedition had b?en innde after the contract was 1
let and before the date ot vrs performance. .
TUH WITNESS FRENCH ANC HIS REMOVAL FROM 1
OFFICE. 1
At the close of the cross-examination the witness,
In reply to a question from Mr. Bliss, said he
left the offl :e In April, 1881. *
"You were removed, were you not?" said Mr.
Bliss. <
"I was," said the witness, "because I refused
to "
"No matter," Interrupted Mr. Bliss. "You were .
removed."
Upon redirect examination the witness said that
he was removed from office because he refused to \
resign. The reason for the removal as stated to
him by Postmaster General James was that he I
had sat by Gen. Brady and known of extravagance
and failed to report it. At the same time the Post- i
master General stated that he charged no wrong
on his (the witness') part. Witness' resignation 1
was asked for three times, and was thrice refused.
TIIE DELEGATE FROM MONTANA A8 A WITNESS. 1
Hon. Martin Maglnnis, delegate from Montana j
Territory, was then called to the stand and examined
as to the route from Bismarck to Tongue
river, giving an account of his efforts to secure i
an increase of service. The witness described the
advantages to a new country of an extended and
increased mall route. The witness on cross-examination
being questioned as to the date when the
government erected a telegraph line along the
route named, said, "It was the year that George j
Spencer went out of the Senate."
"Perhaps he is on that telegraph line now," said j
Mr. Bliss.
"We can't find h'.m at any rate," said Mr. Mer- <
rick.
A CORRESPONDING CLKRK. f
Mr. J. W. F. Williams, corresponding clerk of the ]
First Assistant Postmaster General's office, was
called to the stand by Mr.Honkle and testified that
S. II. Adams ceased to be postmaster at Alvord,
Oregon, on the 1st of April, 1881.
A. c. IICELL ON THE STAND.
A. C. Buell was then called to the stand by Mr.
Wilson. He testified to having flrst met John II. j
Walsh with Gov. Packard and Senator Kellogg In
the spring of 1873 at the Rlgg3 house. Mr. Wilson f
asked the Witness It Walsh had ever paid him 1
$1,000 on account of any indebtedness of Brady to
the witness. 1
AN OBJECTION. ,
Objection was made.
Mr. Wilson said that he wanted to show that f
the only money Walsh ever paid to Buell was for 1 ]
services rendered by Buell to Walsh at Walsh's J
request. ?__
Mr. Merrick said this wjs collateral matter; that
Buell wa3 not mentioned at all in Walsh's examination
in chief, but tho only reference to him oc- i
curred in the cross-examination. i
Mr. liliss, after reading froin Walsh's testimony, t
ar.ti 'd asrslnst the admission of Buell'stestimony,
urging that if this matter was opened the government.
would have to protract the examination so
as to follow up the alleged services rendered by
Buell to Walsh, an I also to Kliow what service
was rendered by Buell to Brady for which Brady t
gave Buell $1,000. ,
JUDGE WYLIE ADMITS THE TESTIMONY. j
Judge Wylle said he thought the testimony ad- c
missible. Walsh's testimony relate! to the In- I
debtedness which he claimed between Brady and j
himself. The cross-exnainatlou as to how the in- j
debtedness was created was directed to a material
fact. I; the witness could be contradicted as to r
the statement that $ 1,000 of that indebtedness was i
for money paid to Bu 11, lie would be contradicted ]
as a material fact in his testimony. The offer was j
different from that made in the case of Peterson s
the ether dav, for what Peterson said would not j
affect the truth of Walsh's statement as to what
Brady had told him. e
THK THOUSAND DOLLARS BUELL COT FROM WAI.SH.
Mr. Wilson then proceeded with the examina- j
tlon or Mr. Buell. The witness said General Brady
didnotowehim $1,000; he had no account with (
hlrn. Walsh paid witness $1,000 for services in c
general to be rendered by witness in connection *
with an investigation going on calculated to affect ?
his (Walsh's) contract. Witness was not personally
acquainted with Brady at thattime. He knew c
no one in the transaction except Walsh. Walsh r
had never paid him $1,000 but once. t
On cross-examination by Mr. Merrick, the witness
said the investigation referred to was one t
conducted by a sub-committee of the House com- i
mlttee on appropriations in l879-'80. At the time
witness made the arrangement with Walsh the i
contract held by Walsh was the pivot of the ex- r
amlnatlon. The investigation grew out of a suit
against Walsh. Witness' relations with Walsh
had been more or less pleasant for a year or two.
Walsh had been In the habit of accommodating
! him with money when he wanted it. When Walsh 1
got Into trouble witness, naturally, took his part.
He could not say when any particular conversa- (
tlon took place out of which the transaction \
grew. s
MR. MERRICE'S QUESTION. '
"Didn't that Investigation," asked Mr. Merrick, *
"affect Mr. Brady more than Mr. Walsh?" ,
"I don't know about that," said the witness. ti
"You don't know?" said Mr. Merrick I
"I didn't study it from that standpoint," said a
the witness. *
The witness said Walsh was one of the principal t
witnesses before the committee. Witness was at 1
that time printing clerk of the Senate. He was 1
on friendly relations with Representative t
Blackburn, and had formerly been his committee t
clerk. The witness said the law prohibited em- s
ployes of the House and Senate taking fees for ad- *
vocatlng claims before Congress. Walsh's case t
was not a claim. Witness became acquainted t
with Brady In February, 1830. Brady had never J
transferred to witness any railroad stock; nor had 8
he received the dividend of such stock. J
Mr. Wilson here Interposed an objection. 1
Judge Wylle did not Interrupt the examination, I
saying "This certainly goes to the witness' credit c
or discredit, I don't know which." |
DIDN'T 8AY IT. 8
The witness said he knew Mr. Nelson, correspon- j
dent of the Boston Post ?
"Did you not state to Mr. Nelson, In Lafayette ^
Square, In the winter ot 188&?81," asued Mr. Merrick,
"that Brady had sollcltal your aid, as a news- *
paper man, in connection wfth the star route in- j
vestlgation ?" a
"No, sir," said the witness, "I never said that to ii
anybody." f
WRITING THINGS FOR BRADY. d
Mr. Merrick then asked the witness if Brady had 11
not asked him to write things^ for him. j
The witness said he would not swear that Brady n
did not ask him to write things. The witness said v
that he might have told Nelson that he had written a
an article on the strength or information received J1
from Brady. He did not remember having had any t
convei'sation with Nelson in Lafayette square. In g
1880 and 1881 witness wrote articles in the defence J
of Brady or on Brady's side of Che case. The wit- i'
ness said he had never told Mr. Nelson that Brady
was so well pleased wltfe what he (witness) had t
written that he proposed to takahlm Into a "deal" r
In Nashville and Chattanooga stock. a
A POSITIVE ANSWBB REQUIRED. p
After further questioning, th$ witness said he p
did not recollect having a conversation of such a
kind with Mr. Nelson. Mr. Merrick insisted that \
he was entitled to a positive answer. y
The court sal 1 that he was so entitled. c
Mr. Totten said the witness stated he had no b
recollection of Buch a conversation. h
" That is a thing," said Judge Wylle, " a man of c
ordinary Intelligence canaplrouet." 1
Mr. Merrick then repeated?the^piestlon as to the s
conversation with Nelson, ;and the witness said, b
" If a man is expected to redollect every conversa- o
tton he has had for two yoars, then I am not a d
man of ordinary intelligence" ... n
"You must answer," said the Court to the wit- T
ness; "I want you to understand that you will be o
treated as any other witness here, and you must o
answer that question squarely." ^ ^ ?
[ The witness then stated positively that he had T
never had any conversation with Nelson such as oi
inquired about. The witness dented that he had
ivcr had any transactions In Nashville and Chattanooga
with Brady or anyone el9e, or that he had
:ver said so to anyone. He might have told some
me that he h id rnado money in stock speculation.

Wylle said It was admissible as tending to discredit

buell's conversation with boynton.
The witness was asked rogarJlng a conversation
vlth Gen. Boynton, In which Gen. Boynton had
stated, as Mr. Merrick represented, that the
ivitness was in danger of Indictment for receiving
iioney from Brady and others for influencing legislation.
Wltr.es? said that he had a conversation with
Boynton, Col. Piatt having written to him (the
vltness) that Gen. Boynton said he was In danger
)f indictment. Witness called Gen. Bovnton's atentton
to the fact that the statute prohibited officers
of the House and Senate being Interested in any
Malm, whereas an appropriation bill was not a
claim. The witness said he resigned his office In
lie Senate when he accepted the retainers.
transactions witii walsh.
The witness said that he had had transactions
vlth Walsh for a year and a half before the in vesication.
In reply to a question as to the nature
)f the transactions, he said: "Like most of my
ransactlons?borrowing money. I don't believe
had been out or his debt for a year until I made
hat settlement."
Witness said he had an indistinct recollection of

icqualntance with him began in February, 1830.
buell's occupation.
The witness having been asked as to his occupation
said he was a writer for the Capital and the
Trittc; he said he was not really the editor of the
Capital.
who owns thb "capital" newspaper.
"Doesn't Mr. Brady own that stock?" asked Mr.
tferrlck, referring to the stock of the Capital.
"I haven't examined the books lately," sala the
vltne i, "and I don't know."
"Haven't you a personal knowledge of that
act?" asked Mr. Merrick.
"I may have had a personal knowledge of It," said
;he witness, "and he may have dlsoosed or It."
"Have you any knowledge of ft that he owns
the stock?"
"I have general knowledge, yes, sir," said the
witness, "I suppose he does."
Mr. Merrick having asked the witness If Brady
lad not employed him as editor of the Capital, the
witness said: "No, sir; I employed myselL"
"Who employed you after you disposed of your
stock?" asked Mr. Merrick.
"I kept myself," said the witness.
Who told you to keep on?" asked Mr. Merrick.
Why, Gen. Brady," said the witness.
who owns the critic 7
"Who owns the CrUict" asked the cross-eximiner.
" The Ci-itic Publishing Company," said the Avltr
less.
" Do you know whether Mr. Brady has an lnterist
In that company?" asked Mr. Merrick.
"I expect," said the witness, "Mr. Brady has
!ome or the stock as collateral security for money
oaned."
" How do you know?" asked Mr. Merrick.
' Well, he has," said the witness.
" How much does he hold?"
" I can't tell that, unless I refer to the books."
" Does he hold nearly all of It?"'
Here Mr. Totten objected, but Judge Wylle said
;hat the examination Was all legitimate.
"I want to show," said Mr. Merrick, "he Is here,
ust as he is there."
"I understand that," said Juiige Wylle, "and
'verybody understands it except the counsel on
he other side."
Mr. Merrick again asked the witness if Brady did
lot hold nearly the whole or the stock.
"I don't know how much he owns of It." said the
vitne-is. "I can't tell as I have not t!?e hooks."
The witness rurther stated that whenever the
company had occasion to borrow any money from
Urady tliey gav-j htm stock ror It; for instance,
ivhen they bought a press they borrowed money
roin him and gave him stock.
" Where Is your stock ? " asked Mr. Merrick.
" Collateral," said the witness.
After considerable parrying Mr. Merrick Insisted
lpon knowing whether or not all the stock had
lot been given to Brady at the start, In conslderaion
or money furnished to run the paper.
The witness replied, " So far as I know, yes." ?
The court then took a recess.

the amocnt about $35,0c0?what 13 saw as to
the disposition made of the funds, etc.
Mr. Charles S. Bradley, the cashier of the National
Bank of the Republic, states that up to January
1,1882, the total amount embezzled by Blgelow
Is $37,970.59. Against this there Is a credit of
$3,000, which reduces the total amount to about
$35,000. Mr. Bradley says In regard to embezzlements
previous to January 1,1S82, "there Is evidence
that Blgelow has withheld deposits at Irregular
times, and to a mild extent for several
years back, but in every case they were restored
to the accounts or depositors."' The return of the
defaulter has started anew the discussion In regard
to him and his financial operations. The question:
what did he do with niS money?
forms a fruitful theme of discussion without giving
much promise of any definite Information.
Blgelow has not thrown any light on that subjecL
In lieu of any other explanation the theory has
been started that Blgelow was Interested with
others In financial operations and a great deal of
the money was absorbed in that way. But this
is not credited by those who were well acquainted
with the defaulter. Ills friends and acquaintances
have a ready answer to the question as to
the disposition of the money. They say that he
spent It In the ordinary ways; that he lived generously;
kept his family and home well supplied
with luxuries, and In his personal expenditures
!had a millionaire 6tyfe which bespoke
larpe resources. In his position as superintendent
of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school, for Instance; |
he lavished monej-without stint. During the past
winter he entertained the entire school, which
numbers some 350, in the Sunday school room of
the church as often as once in every two weeks.
At these receptions Ice cream, cake and other re- |
freshments were served In abundance and th- <
bills were footed by Blgelow. He was a popular (
superintendent, an I frequently surprised his teachers
by presenting them each with beautiful bouquets
of Uowers on Sunday mornings. He also
entertained the teachers and members of the i
school, the latter in sections, at h'.s home during <
the past winter. While he was not dissipated or ,

sel (Mef-sis. Enoch Tottcn and Edmund A. Bailey)
answered the bill yesterday filed against 1dm by i
Robert Strong, a synop-ls or which was published ! '
In The St ail In his answer Mr. Browning makes '
an emphtlc and sweeping denial, under oat h, or all i
the material allegations or the bill, staling the 1
facts to be as follows: The commissioners or the 1
Freed man's bank, the owners or the premises oc- : <
cupied by the complainant, offered the same for i
sale by advertisement, and Samuel Strong, the <
brother of Robert, requested Mr. Brownlmr as a I
personal favor to purchas i the same as his brother
might be ejected If It went Into the control or a 1
stranger, and stated that Robert would repurchase
the property within a short time anJ in the meanwhile
pay rent thereror at the rate he was then
paying to the bank. The complainant subse- :
quently made the same request and confirmed this :
agreement, and under'these circumstances Mr. I
Browning purchased the property. Since the sale {

he made an application about a week aco for a e
permit to put up a rence around his premiss, ana s
not receiving the permit he proceeded to put up c
the fence. The court said there was evidently e
some mistake, and he would take the defendant's j
personal recognizance to go down to the permit r
office and secure the necessary permit. Mr. Cleary v
soon returned and told the court that he went r
down to the District buildings to get the permit L
and found a man walking up and down tue tloor r
In his shirt sleeves with the air or a Bonaparte, I
and who would hardly speak to witness, but he t
finally said that the mutter was referred to Lieut.

Is no reason why the uermlt should not be granted 0
he would dismiss the case. g
