. THE STAR ROUTE CASES. The Unexpected Ruling by Judge VTylie Occasion a Temporary Postponement "Washington, June 9. In the Criminal Court this morning the Government called ex-Attorney General MacVeagh as tl first witness in the Star Route cases. MacVeagh testified he had a conversation with Randall in Jine, '81. Merrick asked witness to give the details of the entire conversation to the best of his recollection. Objected to on the ground the witness must give the date of the into rrlew to make it cometent evidence, and for other reasons. Totten denied the evidence was competent for any purpose in this trial. The date of the conspiracy was placed in '79, and this confession wa3 made Ion: afterward, in June, 81. . Mr. luersoll argued no one would contend that Randall's confession was intended to further the objects cf conspiracy. It was necessary to prove the existence of "a conspiracy before trying to introduce such evidence as this. Merrick was about to reply, when the Court interrupted him to inquire whether he was prepared to assert that confession was intended tu help a'.ong the conspiracy. Because if it was not, regardless of the other

fact3, it would certainly not be good evidence against llanda'l. Mr. Merrick replied he thought that the question could best be answered by bearing Jin'e Wvlie But von must first Drove that there was a conspiracy. ' Mr. Merrick asserted the confession wa Ahe best possible proof of the existence of a conspiracy. Ju.Ue Wylie Oh, ro; I think you are wrong and the contrary proposition true. Merrick But the body of dead men may never be found. Judge Wylie You must prove that he ha been missing for a long lime before assuming lmu to be dead. Tbe'Court in answer to an inquiry by Mr. Merrick replied even if he should be prepared to show that every one of the defendants had maile separate acknowledgments of bavins engage I iu a conspiracy it would not be admissible evidence. A conspiracy must be made out by circumstances. If this confession should prove that Rerdell met certain f the defendants on certain occasion?, pi-rhaps it would be admissible. The prosecution should online their pues'tion to facrs whica woald prove conspiracy. This was a very important'po'mt in the case. Mr. IngersoU Yes, if jour Honor please, it is the whole of it. Mr. Ingersoll closed the argument on this point, which he regarded as of the highest importance, by saying that he regarded the failure of the "Government to produce any authorities as prima iacie evidence that the law vras altogether on his side. At the conclusion of Ingersoll's argument Judge Wylie decided that the evidence was not admi.-?ible at thii stage of the trial. When he was satisfied from the evidence ot the existence of a conspiracy lie would allow this testimony to be introduced. Judge Wylie concluded by saying: "A person could only convict himself by confession, and could not even do that until a crime was made out " Merrick remarked that, of course, this decision would compel him to postpone the introduction of the testimony lie had proposed to introduce, and MacVeagh was excused. Mr. Merrick explained he had himself believed tnis evidence was not presented at the best time, and he had only consented to its introduction to oblige Mr. MacVeagh and U another witness who were desirous of leaving the city. the contract division of the Postottice Department, testitleü that Brady did not act upon tbe paoers immediately upon their presentation. Some times ciays elapsed. There were several hundred of them which had not been acted on when Iiradi left the service. It was the common practice, which prevails at present, to increase the service after the contract was awarded and before its execution was begun. John I. Sfleeman, chief of the pay division cf the Sixth Auditor's office of the Treasury Department, described tbe system of payments. The only way in which contractors could receive mouey from the Treasury for service performed was upon- a warrant signed by the Postmaster General. Although the witness had seen Minor and Kerdtll in his otlice at the same time, he never knew of their acting together upon any one contract. Adjourned. Attorney General Brewster was in the Couit in tiie afternoon. Ingers!! Causes Laughter B Iii Sarcasm Washington, June 12. The hearing of the Star Route cases was resumed. Amos M. Wilson, one of the Journal clerks in the Postofnce Department, was recalled, but his testimony was unimportant. II. D. Norton, Chief of the Finance Division of the Postoffice Department, knew Iredell and Minor. Iredell had oflen been in his oilice. Norton was asked what routes Iredell had been interested in and defense objected t- the ques tion, but the witness was finally allowed to .answer. He said Iredell came to inquire when a warrant wouid be issued to J. V. iljorsey and Peck. Minor appeared in his own interest and forYaile. Quite a number cf contractors held a large numberof contracts individually, and many of them employed agents to look after their business before the Department. It was not therefore considered an. unusual circum stance when Iredell and Minor never conZwrersed together in his hearing. the Jurr, witness said he did not know that Iredell had the power of attorney from J. W. Dorsey, but presnmed the otricial files would show. In answer to he Government oounsei. ne saia n.s uiv;sion naa an uaure 1 latin? to 4hese contracts, and if a warrant I had not appeared tc be correct it would have I been returned to the Auditor lor compan son and correction.. The orders for . expedition signed by the Second Assistant Postmaster General were examined, and if they were found not to be in accordance with the Jaw the connection by the Second Assistant Pcstmaster General would have been necessary before they could have been paid. At the conclusion of the examination of this witness, IngersoU exclaimed: "Bring us another witness just like thu one. Inspector oodward testified all papers received by him from Mr. Brewer, postal employe, had been kept without change in his custody. No newiaier man had ever seen them or written an a 'tide in his room since he had taen poe-ion of them. . This witnesi wa subjected to severe crossexamination by Nilson, with the purpose of showing he had confused and mixed up different papers, and perhaps placed them in wrong packets, but he maintained nothing of the kind bappend to his knowledge,-although they may have been misplaced through accident. Merrick then offered papers "(they are orders, petitions and affidavits referring to the diilereni routes, in evidence, paying in I reply to an innnirv, he intended to present UUIiug lilC iriai an ynyvia vim uic wie iscpartment referring in any way to these contracts. The jtipers were then presented in order, tbe first being an order for increase and expedition noon the route from Kearney to Kent, Neb. The defense made point

tbe paper waa signed by one French, and not by Urady, as set out in the indictnientA long argument ensued as to the admissi. bility of this particular set of papers. The Court ruled the papers might be admitted as matter explanatory of allegations in the indictment Exception noted. Brewer was recalled, and said Mr. Root, correspondent of the New York Ttmes, had been in his room several times, an i had examined papers. Root had been introduced by Judge Riley, another employe iu the Postottice Department, who said Postmaster General James had directed Root to be allowed access to files. Atogether, witness thought several weeks had been spent in this examination. v After recess, Norton was recalled by the Government in- answer to Wilson. lie acknowledged he had talked to Bliss since giving his testimony, and Bites had told him he hod made a mistake in his testimony as to the revisionary power possessed by the Pay Division over orders for increase and expedition. In answer to the prosecution, witness S3id they could not correct these orders; they must pass them when they came from the Second Assistant Postmaster General's office; they did, however, go over the calculations in case of increase. Merrick again proceeded with the introduction of papers. On the back of one of the orders for increase and expedition were

the words, "Do this. Brady," in blue pencil, and this, Merrick asserted, ras Drady a usual method of signing orders. While one of the petitions was being examined, McSweeny said the signatures to it must be proved, because the law did not require such papers to be on the files of the Depart ment After some debate the motion was overruled and the paper admitted, excep tions again noted. The next paper was a letter from benator Saunders to the Postmaster General, in which he sets forth the need of the inhabitants of Loup Valley for increased mail service. 1 his letter was oaten "senate Chamber, February 6, k'T'J.'-' A jetition concerning the same route followed. and Mr. Merrick called the attention of the Court to interlineations and erasures upon it, tue words "schedule thirteen hours," according to Merrick s statement, bavins been inserted after the signature of the petition and before its filing. l'eck s oah as to the number ol men and stock needed to run the routes at the increased speed ordered was next admitted, although the defense pointed out the fact it was dated prior to the formation of the alleged conspiracy. Letters from iersons in Kearney, eb., to Senator Saunders, asking whether the service could not be inerersed, were read by Merrick, and attention was directed to the fact that the increase and not the expedition was asked for. These letters had Deen referred by Senator Saunders to the Second Assistant Postmaster General, with the rec ommendation that tue prayers ne grantea. The sub-contrac. by which aile agreed to perforn the service for Peck upon th.s route for $'.80 per annum was lead. Minor appears as attorney for Peck, and Rerdell as witness, in this instrument. It contains a stipulation tkat sub-contractor Yaile shall receive all of the extra compensation allowed for expedition and increase. Objection was made and sustained to the introduction of this paper, and after comment by Judge Wylie upon the sniallness of the work accomplished during the day, the Court adjourned. Shoved Off Easy. Lawrence, Kan., June 10. Peter Vinegard, George Robinson and Ike King were taken from the Jail hrre thi3 morning at 1 o'clock by a crowd of vijzilants and hanged from the bridge. SheriU' Asher offered all the resistance in his power, but was com pelled to submit Robinson plead for his life, and fell on his knees three times while being taken from Jail to the point of execu tion. King said when he was about to drop, "Boys, let me down easy." The man behind said: "Did, you let Bailsman down easy?" and gave King a shove. Tne necks of Vinegard and Robinson were broken, that of King was not To-night thjre is talk of revenge on the part of the colored people, though most of them say tiie punishment was deserved, megard, who was consid ered almost worthless, had his life insured for $5.000. St. Locis. June 11. The three negroes, Yinegard, King, at Lawrence, Kan., lynching of the "Robinson and early Saturday morning, was because from their own con fession and testimony, given at the exami nation. It was conclusively shown they were the murderers of David liansman. whose dead body was found in the Kansas River ten days ago. Bailsman had just ar rived front iirookville, O.. and intended to settle near Lawrence, where he had two brothers living. He had considerable money, which fact tiie negroes discovered and with the aid of a negro girl, daughter Yinegard, enticed him down to the river bank, where they crushed his skull with a hammer, and threw body into river. Sugar From1 Sorghum. Washington, June 11. The Commission er of Agriculture has issued a circular-letter to the manufacturers of sugar from sorg hum, beets andothersugar-producingplants, in the I nited States, setting forth the re suits of sorghum culture. Experiment made by the Department in '81, from 135 acres of cane there were obtained 2,077 gal ions ot syrup and l pounds ot sugar at a cost for cultivation and Manufacture of $$, 5Ö7. In commenting upon these results the Commissioner savs: "The manufacture of sorghum at the Department has been found to be expensive and unsatisfactory. While, therefore, such scientific investigation as is deemed necessary will oe continued tbe experiment of manufacturing can better be conducted by those who have thus farfurn ished us all the valuable lniormauon we have, and this work I refer to the manufacturers tbemselves,from whom in solicited an account in detail of th work. The Commissioners say the returns when received will be submitted to a competent Committee tor examination, and in order to compensate the manufacturers for the work of making these returns. I propose to pay for the two best returns $1.2X each. Each return must be sworn to. For the two best returns of the process of manufacturing beet sugar in this country ft 2uo each will be also paid." Doyle Will Explain. Washington, June 9. Doyle, convicted in Chicago of having in his possession coun terfeit bonds, offers through counsel to prove conclusively the genuineness of the $1,000 bond plate, how it was obtained, and all about it, provided the Government will re lease him from confinement. The present investigation at the Treasury is for the purpose of ascertaining the character of this plate, whether good transfer work or merely counterfeit, and if tbe former, to ascertain how it was obtained from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and to place the responsibility where it properly belongs. Secretary Folger and other Treasury officials deny in most positive terms there are any spurious bonds in circulation, on the ground that if any were in circulation they cer tainly wouid have known something about before now. Doyle's friends claim he is an innocent and misjudged man in this tnns action, and that they will prove it to the Government. They state the bouds found in his ioses9ion are not counterfeits, but bonds printed from a penuiue plate, the i.sue of which, however, was not authorized

bylaw. , ,

IÜIPT1AX AFFAIRS.

AjIUot Detween Natives and European. AutXAXPsUi June 1L Serious riots occurred to-day between natives and European's. Several persons were killed and wounded. A number of houses were destroyed. The police at first remained inac tive. Riotous demonstrations later took place at the French Consulate, to which several of those mortally wounded at the outbreak of the riot were conveyed. The disturbances continued some time before the authorities took any steps to suppress tbem. The English Consul was -severely hurt, re ceiving a gunshot wound. An engineer of the British man-of-war Superb was killed. The disturbances continued five hours. when the military appeared and dispersed the rioters. The Greek Consul and Italian Vice Con sul also severely wounded. The British man-of-war Superb will ar rive in port during the night, and land 200 men to protect the British Consulate. A boat will be sent to take off all British sub jects who desire to leave Alexandria. It is estimated twenty persons were killed n the riot, but the exact particulars are yet unobtainable. Cairo, June 11, 9:45 p. m. So far as ascer tainable the rioting in Alexandria commenced op the street near the Great Square. The immediate cause was the stab bing of an Arab by a Maltese. A mob of natives collected, cleard the street with sticks and made their way iuto the Great So uare, where ther demolished music pavilions and furniture in the ad orning cafes Kuropeaus precipitate! left the Square and took refuge for some time at the French Consulate. The soldiers were called out, but they looked on without in terfering during the work of demolition and bloodshed. London, June 11. Another dispatch from Alexandria savs: "The Rue des Soeus, inhabited chiefly by Europeans, was completely wrecked. The Europeans fired from windows, killing many Arabs. The latter made a terrible havoc among the Europeans n the street. The I.ritish Consul was dragged from his carriage and beaten. Dervisch Pasha and Arabi Pa-Ha have left Cairo for Alexandria. Tbe e cia r of a British man-of-war was stabbed to -.'ath. The captain of the British ironclad invincible is in charge of the British Consulate. Another Ameri can corvette is expected at Alexandria.'' London, June 11. A dispatch from Alex andria says: "The British Consul was wounded on the head with a bludgeon, lie is progressing favorably. The mob sacked the shops of Europeans. Egyptian troops occupy the chief points in the city." Alexandria, June 12. Ihe reiortof the murder of the engineer of the British man-ot-war Superb is not generally credited. Patrols on the streets have been doubled. Caiko, June 12. At a meeting of military leaders it was decided to petition the Khedive to abdicate. It was declared if he did not he would be massacred. It is rumored the cavalry and artillery will not join any company against the Khedive. Ihe following report of tbe not has been received from Alexandria: Cookson, the English Consul, savs when he was proceed ing from tl Cireat Square to the Governor's residence he saw two Europeans respectfully dressed, and apparently naval oilice rs,in plain clothes knocked down by a Greek who was shot and killed by a soldier live yards from Cookson's carriage, and others, even closer. were knocked down and stabbed. A soldier cut at the Consular kavass with a sword. The carriage of the Greek Consul was stopped by a number of soldiers and the occupants dragged out The Consul was severely beaten. Cookson escaped severe maltreatment by the coachman lashing his horses, but he was struck on the head and one of his arni3 broken. The Italian Consul was wounded by stones. The wife of the Austrian Consul was attacked and in sulted. The accounts of the origin of the riot are contlictine. A project to carry off the Khedive, Der visch Pasha, and the British and French Consuls to the citadel is freely discussed. Constantinople, June 12. Much disap pointment is felt at the occurrence of the riots at Alexandria, as it tends to interfere with the mission of Dervisch Pacha. and may lead to a renewal of the demand for confer ence. English and French arubastadors visited the Porte together to-day for the purpose, it is believed, of asking tor explanations. Menna, June 12. -A proposition to dis patch men-of-war to Alexandria to protect Austrian subjects is being considered. The Abend Post thinks the event in Alexandria will render military action instead cf mere diplomatic intervention probable. SENDING TEOOrS TO PBOTF.CT SCPJECTS. Paris, June 12 In the Chamber of Depu ties to-day M. De Freycinet stated that the French Consul at Alexandria had been threatened, and that the Government would not fail to adopt measures necessary to secure safety to the French subjects. Several newspapers here state that France and England have sent a note to the Porte and the powers urging immediate meeting of the Conference. It is retorted that the European colonies in Egypt have appealed to their respective Goverments to send squadrons for their protection. CONFERENCE AT PARIS. Berlin, June 12. It is proposed seem ingly at- the suggestion of tbe Irenen to hold a Conference on tbe i 'yptian question at Paris and not Constantinople. ÜEWS RECEIVED AT L0XD0X. London. June 12. Advices from Alexan dria late last night state that the disturbances commenced simultaneously at turee i . i . i different points. The object of the rioters, in a great measure, appears to have been milage, id which Levautines as well as Arabs took part. A regiment of cavalry and a regiment of infantry has been ordered to reinforce the garrison. A telegram published here says the of ficial report of the riot in Alexandria gives the number of Europeans killed as sixty seven. The Standard's dispatch from Alexandria reiKirts that 1,500 troops have arrived there from Cairo. A dispatch from Cairo says: "At a meet ing of foreign Consuls with Dervisch Pasha, the Khedive and Arabi Pasha, a solemn en gagement was entered into that the Khedive should undertake to maintain order, and that Arabi Pasha should strictly obey the Khedive's commands. A proclamation is to be issned informing the populace of tbe agreement ' Another dispatch says: "In Tiew of the critical position of affairs Dervish Pasha has agreed to accept joint responsibility with Arabi Pasha for the fpreservation of order. The surgeon attached to the British man-of war Superb was badly wounded in the riots." Alexandria. June 12. Great excitement continues; all shops closed. The Admiralty received dispatches con firming the report of the murder of the en gineer of the Superb, ihe ngnting at Aiex andria was a deliberate attack upon the Counsels when proceeding to the house o the Governor, and seems to have been con fined to Arabs and Levantines. No English residents reported wounded. The Times correspondent at Cairo lays the responsibili

ty of the riots on Arabi Pasha. Dervisch Pasha had summoned him to resign, and there seemed no alternative but Submission or defiance, but tince the riots brokeout Dervisch Pasha has to appeal to Arabi Pasha as commanding the only available force to restore order. Irish Krwt. Dt'ELiN, June 11. The Irish Bishops have issued an important address, promising the support of the clergy to tbe people peacefully agitating for their rights, but condemning, a. the worst enemies of the country, men who recommend illfgal courses, particularly those belonging to social Societies. The Bishops condemn the recent horrible murders, but believe they were due to evic tions, which it is the duty of the Govern ment to stop at any cost DrisLiN, June 11. John Parry, member of Parliament for "V"xfrd County and Yice President of the Home Rule Confederation, will start for America,sortlv. to recon cile the contending sections of Fenians and Land Leaguers with- u view to increased financial support of Parnell's policy. The Dishops point out that what is mor ally wrong can not be politically right It is the indisputable right, they say, ol the Irish to live on their own toil. It is right, and often the duty of thae oppressed, either by fefate or by individuals, to seek redress by lawful means. On these grounds the National movement has the approval of priests and Bishops and even the Pope, and of all just and generous men, without dis tinction, race or creed. But it is a notori ous means after the employed are utterly subversive to social order. The address specifies those means as refusing to pay just debts, preventing the payment by others, injuring neighbors in per son or property, lorciblv resisting law, and forming secret bocieties and obeying orders thereof. The Dishops say under each of these holds numerous orlenses have been committed; fearful and prominent among them being the hideous murders which even at the present moment disgrace our country and provoke the anger of God and His Church. We declare it is your duty to regard as the wcrst enemy pf our creed and country the mau who would recommend the commission ot any one of the above-named offenses. We appeal to all to have no connection with secret Societies, but to oppose them as alike hostile to religion and freedom. Let us as sure you the National movement purged o .hat is criminal, shall have the earnest support of the clergy. Considerable install ment of justice has been, within the past few years, conceded to the tenant farmers, but to them and toother classes, particularly aborers, much more is due. It is the duty both of the clergy and people to press their claims in every peaceable anTi just nianner. Dut the cleagy can countenance no illegal means nor be sowers of dissension. The Bishops express the belief tbe late crimes would never have occurred if the people had not been driven to despair by evictions, justly described by the Premier as sen tences of death, and which must be fatal and iermanent provocation of crime to which it is the duty of the Oovernraent to put an end to as speedily as possible at any cost The address concludes with a pastoral blessing. It is signed by Cardinal .Mctabe, Archbishop McGettigan. Primate of all Ireland; Archbishop Croke," Dishop Nulty and twenty -one others. Thirty Thousand People In Attendance. London, June 11. At the Democratic meeting held in Hyde Park this afternoon to protest against the repression bill, 30,000 ersons were present, fceveral English and Irish members of Parliament attended.

Notwithstanding business shows still a very restricted volume. there is an evident improvement Inltbe feel ing in commercial circles, because of the near approach of harvest under circum stances continuously favorable to a large ield. Ihe chief drawback to the present situation are the strikes at Pittsburg and elsewhere. Wheat declined In the early part ti the week, bnt closed at prices one to two rents uglier than yesterday oo deliveries of whiter grades. The export demand is a little stronger, and there is a lair amount of speculation. Corn has been more active n speculation at irregular prices. Oats have been unsettled, hut close steady with morsspeculation. Business juiet on local want. in the lard and pork trade there has beeiv abetter and good speculative demand re ported. Higher prices are indicated by advices from the West. The feeling in the cotton Market is un settled. In wool tbe tendency is a little npward. though the feeling is unsettled as to the new crop. Slocks of desirable wools are now very low. Ihe petroleum market is active and un settled; refined is a little lower. Exporters, n view of a large production, are indilfer-' ent In the freight market there is considerate inquiry for petroleum room; otherwise verv quiet. The cheese market is very firm. Tiotwithtanding the large arrivals. Yesterdav was the bigcest day of the season and over 20.000 boxes came into the market fin butter tiie situation is not changed. The dry goods trade has been light. The new business is not extensive. The country trade is buying cautiously. Seasonable weatber is likely to improve the demand. and the outlook is better than iast week in all departments f trade. in boots and shoes a fair trade is reported. but not very active. Retailers are busy stocks will have to be replenished soon. Manufacturers are still active and have lare orders on hand and plenty comine in. al though the prospects are pretty good. Ihe leather trade Is without a feature. A trady business is being done at at old prices. The strikes are having but little effect on trade in American pig iron as yet Trans actions are numerous, and the volume of trade no smaller than before the strikes. Scotch pig iron is quiet The iron and steel rail business is light Tea, collee and sugars are dull. Louisville. Louisville, June 9. Trade durin week has been without a special feature. Ihere has been a boom in the provision trade and prices at the close are higher. The demard ia good with a probability of further advance. Cotton remains quiet, demand good, offer ings light News from the cotton region is not favorable for an average crop. Ihe weather has Deen too com lor growing trade, the same condition as last year. Reports from farming sections are better for good crops than they were at the end of Mav. In leaf tobacco, sales for the week were 1.G70 hhds.: for the month, 1,005 hhds.; for the yeai. 35,151 hhds.

No change to notice in prices The market for finished iron is much more active, and considerable sales have been made at an advance of $3 per ton over May prices. Light sheet has advanced pro portionately, and Is very scarce. Nails are in short supply, and may be quoted at an advance of to 30 cents per keg. If the strike keeps on there will be higher prices still. Cincinnati. Cincinnati, June 9. For the first time since April there has Deen nearly a wnoie week of dry, warm, seasonable weather, and the farmers' hopes for a fair crop of corn begin to revive. Still there are places where corn is not yet planted. That which appears above the ground begins to assume a better color. Warm weather is rapiaiv . i.. - . . . . ,. filling the market with early vegetables and fruits, and prices decline in proportion, There is a slight improvement in general business, but not enough to make any marced increase in the volume. Groceiiesliave had a fair trade With prices very fair. Dry goods begin to unload the summer goods that have lain so long uncalled for, An impetus is felt in all lines of summer goods, but tbe usual activity is wanting. In grain tnere has been a weakening mar ket except wheat which holds up firmly, owing to light offerings. Oats have declined 2i cents. Corn from 1 to 2 cents. Rye has declined 4 cents. Rarley is almost out of the market Provisions are much firmer with a decided upward tendency except lard, which is dull and heavy, llulkmeats and bacon have had a sharp advance to-day, and pork is stronger and higher. fctocKs are not neavy ana sum mer packing is somewhat neglected.

The statement this week, though unsatis factory in nianv respects, in others shows improvement Theaggregate clearings in twenty-six cities for the past week were $1,00.131568, against only $310,272,571 in the same cities the previous week. It must be borne m mind, however, this comparison is instituted between a week of six business days just closed and the previous week of only five. As compared with the corres ponding week last year, tnougii tne per centage of decrease is larjre, it is still much smaller than it was th previous week. While business has improved somewhat in the East, and the percentages of decrease bave been reduced in a number of Kastern cities, in the West per contra, the depres sion in business has seemiDgly increased, this fallinz off being reflected in the clear ings at those points. The aggregate percent age of decrease this week, as compared with the corresponding weet ot last year, was lo per cent, ajrainst a decrease of 24.4 per cent last week, and one of 40.2 per cent the pre vious week.
