Additional Testimony Concerning the Charges Made by Representative Knloe. "Washington, Sept 20. The investigation into the charges preferred against Postmaster Wheat by Representative Enloe was continued to-day and a large number of witnesses examined. Tho most important testimony was given by Wm. E. Bradley, who said he waej acquainted with Postmaster Wheat; had never performed any work as clerk in tho House postoffico, but had been sworn in as a messenger. Young Mr. Wheat had come to his house and asked him if he wanted to make some money by being sworn in in the place of a man who was expected to be removed in a "'few days. This man's name was Denny. Ho was simply to have hit name on the roll, Wheat doing the work. Wheat told him he would not even have to come to the ofiice, and would receive $3 for the trouble in being sworn in. This was early in March. At the end of March he drew something over $07, all of which, except $5, he turned over to Walter Wheat. Young Wheat also got Representative Caswell to indorse his application for a place in the Government Printing Office. At the end of April he was still on the rolls in place of another man named Hall. This time he drew $96.67. In accordance with the wish of young Wheat he kept this money for a week. He then settled with young Wheat. There was some discussion as to 'what sum he should keep. Wheat wanted to pay him $3, while he thought he should have onehalf. At this time Postmaster Wheat was present, and suggested to Walter that he get Mr. Caswell to withdraw his indorsement of witness's application. The matter was finally settled by his retaining $10 of the money. Finally ho was discharged by tho postmaster. Representative Caswell, representing Mr. Wheat, called the attention of the committee to the act making appropriations for the House postollice and contended that its phraseology gave to the postmaster the absolute right to the $5,000 appropriated for carrying the mails. J. E. Haven, an employe of the House Sostoffice. testified that Culbertson told im tnat he had paid to Mr. Wheat over 500, and that at the time of the publication of certain charges in the newspapers concerning Mr. Wheat young Wheat had come to his Culbertaon's house and on his knees begged him to take back the $700 ( and turn it over to a third party. Walter Wheat, the postmaster's son. then took the stand. He testified that he did most of the work for which Bradley was paid and was entitled to the money, he received. MINOi; MATTERS.

Mr. Blaine said to-day, also, that ho could not accept invitations to make speeches during tho campaign; that he would like to do anything he could to promote the election of a Republican majority to the next House of Representatives; but that it would be impossiblo for him to take the stump. He might, after reflection, speak once in New York city, or Philadelpnia or Baltimore, or at some point near by, but he did not think even this would be possible.

5IB.M0BLEYTELLSMS STORY

His Experience at Tipperary Described to an Audience of Englishmen. Balfour's Policy Roundly Denounced and the Irish, Hagistrates Blamed for Causing the Police to Use Their Clubs. am, MORLEY'S EXPERIENCE. lie Describes the Recent Riot at Tip penary and Denounces the Authorities. London', Sept. 29. Mr. John Morley spoke at St. Helen's to-night to a large audience, lie gave a graphic account of his experiences during his recent tour of Ireland, referring particularly to the condition of affairs in Tipperary and to the scenes in which he himself took a parsonal part. The speaker begun by asking the Coercionists at St Helen's and of the whole country whether the state ot Ireland was what they had bargained for when they voted for the present government. Then he went on to give instances illustrating the arbitrary and tyraunical method's of the Irish authorities. Ho said that a ' week ago Mr. John Dillon wont to address his constitnentsin East Mayo. Upon arriving at the town where the first meeting was to bo heKl Mr. Dillon found the platform of the station surrounded by police and and military, and he was told by a Unionist magistrate that if he used illegal language it would be tho magistrate's duty to disperse the meeting. Now, in tho first place, this simply meant that tho divisional magistrate would be the judge as to whether Dillon's language was legal or illegal; and, in tho second place, what appearod to be almost incredible, it meant that if Dillon used language that the magistrate considered illegal, it was the magistrate's duty to disperse the meeting with baton and rifle. After over four years of resolute government, conld not an Irish Member of Parliament be trusted to address his constituents without the adoption of such measures? Suppose that at tnat meeting he Morley had said something which the chief constable of the district Chose to think illegal; was the constable, instead of arresting the speaker, to baton and shoot the audience? Many Unionist orators had prepared addresses for the autumn campaign, the claim of which was that bank deposits and railway returns in Ireland were unprecedented; that the National League was a thing of the past; that the Nationalists were cowed and beaten, aud that the Irish movement had blown over, as Irish movements had blown over before. The Tipperary prosecutions, however, had cruelly blighted the hopes of the Unionists and given the; lie to their rose-colored picture. The proceedings of the last fortnight in Tipperary would have the inevitable eiibctof rallying every Nationalist, lay and clerical, and of once moreclosiiiK tho Nationalist ranks. It was no wonder that tha coercion party had been thrown into a state of consternation. It would bo churned that this was not a question of policy, but a question of the law being broken, aud that it was the duty of the government to strike at the lawbreakers. But this excuse would not do, because, by t nongovernment's own showing, these illegalities began as far back as January last. THE SCENE AT TirPfiKARY. Turning to the problem of the congested districts, the speaker said it opened np questions of the gravest complexity,-and ho would welcome an attempt to settle these questions apart from all party considerations. But what, ho asked, was the use of appealing to ministers who, were capable of the acts of criminal folly now being perpetrated? Neither conld Mr.'.Parnell nor the speaker help to solve the problem with men who were so infatuated. Ho Morley 1 had been criticired for going to Ireland. That seemed' to bo a'dog'fn-the-jnanger policy. Mr. Balfour would neither go to Ireland himself nor let any one else go. He Morley! went to Tipperary because he felt that the proceedings there marked the turning point in the great battle, and because he felt that the government was going to drive a good strong nail .into its own coffin and he wanted to see the tirst blow of the hammer. When he arrived at Tipperary with his political friends he walked peaceably to the cross-road without having any fear of disorder, when suddenly he was hustled, pushed and menaced by constables in a state of great fury. The gathering people were very few in number and no kind of obstruction was ollered, the nearest approach to a riot being a shrill Tipperary cheer raised on his account. He never saw Biich an act of folly as the attitude of the authorities. Tho two members of the House of Commons under arrest wero in charge of a squad of constables, who had the 'right of guarding the prisoners from rescue, but throughout the day the government oGicers put the constables in an attitude that was calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. Colonel Caddell 6tated in the court-room that this was one of the most disorderly gatherings ho had ever witnessed. Three or four English ladies who occupied front seats in the court-room laughed at the absurdity of Caddeli's statement, and soon after this the Colonel withdrew his men. These proceedings would have been ridiculous if they had not been so dangerous. But they were nothing to what followed. The court-house was in a small inclosure provided with strong gates. It had been asserted that he and his companions were foliowed.to this entrance at noon by an immense multitude. This he absolutely denied. He believed that at no time did the armed men defending the court-house number less tbau three to ono against the civilians. It was as insignificant and harmless a crowd as he ever paw iu his life. Mr. Dillon, the speaker, Mr. Harrison, M. 1'., aud others were admitted at the gates, but the police refused admission to tho townsmen. ' BLOOD FLOWED FREELY. He next saw a townsman, a solicitor, Hung violently from the gates and assaulted. Mr. O'Brien went out and protested against the exclusion of tho public. Messrs. Dillon and Harrison joined Mr. O'Brien, and their voices grew loud. With or without orders 'the police drew their batons, without a shadow of provocation, and blood began to How freely. Ho saw no stones thrown. He would undertake to say that a couple of English constables would have done everything necessary to guard access to the court. Mr. Harrison went out to the constable and expostulated, but the only reply was an attempt to strike him on the head while he was trying to approach a constable who was batoning the peoples' heads. Another olticer then batoned Mr. Harrison on the , head, after which Mr. Harrison, his head dripping with blood, was admitted at the gate. He Morley saw u coustable striko reporter Keating a murderous blow on the mouth, knocking him off the wall on which ho was sitting hud causing blood to ilow freely. Outside the gates there was another scene of violence, the police using their batons ferociously upon the heads aud bodies of the defenseless townsmen, several of whom were oroug blood. He it in the gates dripping with Morley 1 went to Colonel Cadhim that he ought to open the dell and tol gates and admit tho people. 1 hen be went into the court-reom, but found nobo !y there, except the two resident magistrates and a few reporters. After the gates' had been opened and everybody who wished to enter had been admitted, the court-room was not tilled, while tho "tumultuous" throng of which Colonel Caddell had spoken was as quiet and orderly as if in church. These facts proved that the original closing of the gates was unnecessary; that the statement that it was necessary to reserve for witnesses the spuce usually allotted to spectators was a mere pretext and afterthought, and that the rioting was wholly on ooeide. If Colonel Caddell had acted iu the first place as ho afterwards acted in defereuce to his (Morley's wishes there would not have been a tittle of disorder. The whole thing was a clumsy blunder. But to commit a blunder when dealing with armed men was a crime. If Mr. Balfonr produced in tho House of Commons what had been published at the otlicinl version of the atlair ho Morleyj would riddle it to pieces in ten minutes. The resort to batons was a deplorable, lawless and cowardly outrage. Mr.

Balfour's system was responsible for these scenes. Through three aud a half years Mr. Balfour had defended every act of the executive, throngh thick and thin, right or. wrong. From the odious and wicked slaughter at Mitchelstown onward, Mr. Balfour had always refused to institute an e Active public inquiry. He had always denied the truth of charges made aeainst the police. He had always refused to believe the word of an Irish member of Parliament. And thus the Irish people had been left wholly at the mercy of the authorities, without any supervision, without help and without hope. No wonder the Irish people did not reppect the law. No wonder they hated a government which inspired such an abuse of executive force. . 0 THE TIPPERARY TRIALS.

Another 1'rotent Against Magistrate Shannon by 31 r. Healy Charged with Inciting a Riot. Dublin, Sept. 29. At the resumption of the trial of the Nationalists at Tipperary, this morning. Timothy Healy arose and addressed the court on behalf of the defendants. He referred to the refusal of the magistrates to consider the propriety of Mr. Shannon's withdrawing from the case, and announced that, iu view of this, the defendants felt themselves constrained to refer the question to the High Court of Justice at Dublin. Tho defendants, he said, would apply to that court to-morrow for a writ -to prohibit the present magistrates from proceeding with the conspiracy cases, on the ground of bias against the def end ants. The counsel for the crown, Mr. Healy continued, ought now to decide as to the wisdom and propriety of going on with the hearing pending this application to the high court. When Mr. Healy resumed his seat Mr. Konan, the crown prosecutor, arose and said he could not consent to a suspension of the hearing, pending the proposed aoplication by the defense to the high court. Thereupon tho introduction of testimony for the prosecution was begun, and the rest of the day was taken up with the reading of speeches made by the defendants on various occasions, which the crown contended were of incendiary character. It is likely that the last has not been heard of the collision between the police and the people in front of the court-house at Tipperary last Thursday. It is reported this morning that the government intends to prosecute many of the persons who were preuent in the crowd for inciting a riot. Mr. Harrison, member of Parliament for the Middlo division of Tipperary. who received a severe blow over the head from a fioliceman'd club, is mentioned among those ikely to be prosecuted. , Colonel Caddell, the presiding magistrate at the Tipperary hearing, asserts that John Morley appealed to him to exclude the crowd from the court-house. m a WEDDING GOWN FOR A SHROUD.
