Live 6tock in Montana is said to be in excellent condition. The sensation of the anarchist trial in Chicago was the appearance upon the w itness stand of Andrew C. Johnson, a Pinkerton detective: He held in his hands, says a report of the trial, a bundle of foolscap manuscript about four inches thick, and stated that it was att in his own handwriting, and that it consisted of reports of meetings held at different times during the past year and a half by the International Workingmen's Association, and the armed section thereof. The detective had for the purposes of his profession joined the association. and had become an active mem-., ber. He gave the substance of various speeches made by Parsons and Fielden at the meetings of the society between the winter of 1884-5 and the past winter, which set those two individuals forth as arcli-eonspirators of the blackest type. They had persistently taught the workingmen that nothing could Jt>e gained except by the use of force, such as dynamite and other deadly weapons . The testimony was the hardest against the two prisoners named that has yet beep submitted, and was so conclusive that even the fiendish-looking Fielden hung his bead in silent submission with gwat drops of perspiration on his brow. Mrs. Parsons actually grew pale, and in that condition looked more like an Italian sfnging-unud than a descendent of Ham. Attorney Foster hugged his quid of tobacco close to his upper jaw and looked with disgusted astonishment at the witness, while Captain Black stroked his neatly trimmed beard anxiously. The prisoners bent forward spell-bound, while the jurors took notes and looked as if an avalanche had been let loose upon them. The witness had finally been promoted to the armed section of the Socialists. On that occasion the Captain had demanded of him some one to vouch for his character, in order that be might be sure that he was of the. proper material to be Intrusted vyitn a position in their rinks, and'"both"Parsons and Fielden, who were present, hod vouched for his qualifications. Speeches of the most incendiary character had been made by Parsons and Fiefden, and by Spies and Schwab in German, times without number, and the substance of these he continued to give from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until adjournment, and then the defense was not half through with him. No testimony since the trial commenced has occupied the attention of Judge Gary equal to that -of Johnson. The good-natured old gentleman leaned forward from hiß chair upon the desk, and. staring at the witness almost constantly, appeared to take in every word that was uttered. The witness was very much composed. He took his time, occasionally glancing at his manuscript, w hich he kept slipping one page under the others, so as always to keep the proper notes before ._ him. _ ~ : ■ -■

AN HILARIOUS CITY.

Albany Celebrating the Two Hundredth Ajjaiuersary of Its Incorporation, A Grand Procession, and Speeches by President Cleveland and Secretary Bayard. * Albanians gave themselves np body and soul yesterday to the task of celebrating the incorporation of their city by Gov. Thomas Dougan just 2(H) years ago, says nn Albany (N, Y.) dispatch of July 23. Tho uproar that broke loose at midnight when the bells announced,the arrival of the anniversary continued until daylight. Men, Boys, and even women went np and down the principal streets blowing horns nfid singing until morning came. .\fcn .nd boys organized themselves into marching bands and went from one part of the citvto another, blowing two or, three horns together and stopping before hotels and private residences and giving impromptu serenades. Small cannon kept up their salutes nnd bonfires lighted np the principal streets, and (he red-fire’s glow was reflected from the skies above until it paled in the gray of approaching mom. All the noise and enthusiasm that Albany may have pent up within herself for the last two centuries seemed to have suddenly found vent. Thousands of persons remained np through the night, and the uproar was continued until dawn. President Cleveland, Secretaries Bavard and Whitney, and Private Secretary Lamont arrived on a special train soon after C a. m., and were met nt the West Shore Depot by Mayor Timelier, ex-Mayor Banks, and other notables; the Burgess Corp 6, headed by the Plattsburg Band, and about six hundred other citizens. The Presidential party entered carriages at onee, and were escorted to the Governor’s mansion. Jnst before they left the depot President Cleveland was warmly greeted by nn old fanner from Delaware County, who broke through the line, and Clasped the President’s hand before any one could stop him. “Well, this is Grover!”jie exclaimed. “Yes, sir,” answered the President, smiling pleasantly. After breakfast President Cleveland called on Secretary Manning. The chief event of the day was a military procession in which the local militia bodies, the Seventh Regiment of New York, with Cappa’s band, and many other State militaly organizations, Grand Army and other veteran organizations, the Rose Guards of Philadelphia, Mayor Thacher, and other city officials, members of the Legislature, Governor Hill and staff, and President Cleveland and members of his Cabinet had places. The procession was formed in four divisions. The President rode in the fourth division in an open carriage with Secretary Whitney. He field his hat in his hand while he bowed acknowledgments to the rounds of cheers that accompanied his progress. The Governor’s staff followed, and behitid them rode the Governor in a carriage. After the procession Gov. Hill delivered an historical oration at tho Clark street rink. When he had concluded his speech, and the applause had subsided, Mayor Thacher attempted to announce the next thing on the programme, but his voice was’ drowned by cries of “Cleveland!” “Cleveland!” The President arose, bowed, and sat down again on the platform, beside the Governor. This did not satisfy the audience, and the calls were renewed with vigor. Finally, Mr. Cleveland arose, and, advancing to the front of the platform, said: Citizens of Albany: I came here to-day as an invited guest to a family reunion. I desire to bo modest and not mingle too freely in congratulations and celebrations which belong more properly to you. Ido not wish to sound a single note of discord, but I have heard so much of the Dutch, of this being a Dutch city, bo much talk of the olden time and of. its customs, that when I remember that I dwelt rsvo years among you I whether lam in the right place or not At the risk of creating discordance, I will say that in my time Dutch was not the language of the town. The people spoke English, and to me words in English of kindness that I will never forget. lam glad, however, you have got your charter. When I lived here it was, I think, under a charter, but, according to my remembrance, it was a charter passed by the Legislature of the State in the first year I spent here, and approved by me. I must not detain you longer; but I cannot refrain from expressing to von my appreciation of the kindness with which you have received me, and from repeating the homelv and old-fashioned wish, may the citizens of Albany and their descendants see many happy returns of the day. The President spoke in dear, ringing tones that were audible in every portion of ine. large DuiiuiDg, ana wiGt -refflarKS were received with enthusiastic applause. When he sat down the audience called updfi Secretary Bayard for a speech, and he said: Ladies and Gentlemen, Citizens of Albany—l thank you most profoundly for your kindness In thus recognizing my presence among you. I came hero as a friend and companion of one whom it is my houor and pleasure to assist in the administration of our public affairs. It is my further pleasure, aH an American citizen, to take part in the celebration of honorable American traditions that so frequently take place in all parts of our country, aud I rejoice to see them -6&-worthily celebrated, I have myself something in my traditional ancestry of the blood of the Dutch, and I thank you for an opportunity of saying so. Secretary Whitney was next called for, aud said: I will occupy but a moment of your time, ladies and gentlemen, in taking this opportunity of exi ressihg to you that common sentiment of every one inspired by such a beautiful day, by such a gathering of people, and by the interesting exercises at which you have been present for several hours. It is an additional pleasure to have an opportunity of thanking you for the courtesy you have shown us and of saying I will bear away grateful recollections of the reception we have received this afternoon. Noch--ing more than this expression, lam sure, is called for from me. The music was rendered by an orchestra of fifty pieces and chorus of one hundred mule voices. The exercises concluded with the sipging of “America” by the chorus and audience. At the conclusion of the exercises the President, Secretaries Whitney and Bayard, and others drove to Secretary Manning’s residence, .where they remained about an hour. They then drove to the Governor’s residence, where, together with Mr. Manning, Francis Kernan, Lient. Gov. Jones, Rufus W. Peckham, Col. Lamout, and others, they dined with the Governor. After the dinner the President held a public reception in the Senate chamber of the Capitol, and later attended a private reception at Fort Orange Club.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Work of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Tax reports in the Payne elea£:on case came up in the Senate for consideration on July 21. Bei|tW Pugh, in advocacy of the position taken by flimself, Bcnatois Saulsbury, Vance, and Enstls. contended that there had boen no express belief or suspicion on tho part of any member of the committee to the effect that Mr. Payne was connected in the remotest degree with anything wrong, criminal, or innuorof'jn his eloctlon, and that no further investigation of the charges should be ipado. Senator Hoar presented the views of himself and Henator Frye. He argued , that such an * investigation was due to Senator Payne, and contomleJ that tho charges were made by individuals and- bodies of sufficient weight to compel the Senate to investigate them. Senator Logan Jook the floor to reply to the argu* ment of Senator Hour and to sustain the views expressed in the report signed by bimself and Messrs. TeUer and Evarts. Senator Logan quoted from the Cincinnati Commercial Qazette an article against himself and Senators Evarts and Teller, speaking of Mr. Evarts as a representative of coal oil in the Senate, and saying that Toller was not worth talking about. Continuing, he read from another extract a statement that Senator Camden, "whose intimate relations to the Standard Oil Company are well known.” had telegraphed to prominent Democrats that only six more votes were wanted to carry the Senate, and that tljey were prepared to pay (foO.UOJ each for them, and said: "Isay that any man who Will publish such an infamous slander and such a villainous lie as that upon honorable members of his own party is unworthy of recognition anywhere.” Senator Logan then detailed the course of the Ohio Legislature in electing Senator Payne, and afterward in investigating tho charges against its own members. There was not, said the Senator, in the evidence taken before the committee of the Ohio Legislature one single iota of testimony implicating Mr Payne, directly or indirectly. Senator Teller (Col.) next took the floor and said he was not, on trial. He had no defense to make either to the people of Ohio or any other State. The committee had kept steadily and. truthfully in the line of the precedents. Tho State of Ohio had made no demand of the Senate. What had newspaper clamor to do with the question whon it came to the American Senate? He believed tho Ohio uowspuper convention was called for the purpose of compelling recreant Republicans to forswear themselves and perjure themselves in the interest of political success. In the House Mr. ! Morrison's concurrent resolution, reported from the Ways and Means Committee, providing for the adjournment of Congress on July 26, after being opposed by Mr. Reagan, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Bayne, Mr. Hepburn, and Mr. Willis, was passed by a vote of 145 to 30. Then a struggle arose for priority of consideration between the i interstate commerce and the Northern Pacific forfeiture bills, which was resolved—yeas 142, nays 99—in favor of the former. The Payne election case was the subject of another debate in the Senate on July. 22. Senator Teller said, in regard to the resolutions presented by the Ohio editors and the extracts from the Democratic papers declaring their opinion that the election was procured by corruption, that it was an attempt to -compel by a convention of political editors the determination of a political question. Senator Sherman said he rose to perform tire most disagreeable duty of iris life. He had khown his colleague (gayne) since he had arrived at the age of manhood, and he believed that, whatever corruption had occurred in the process of the election, no knowledge of such corruption was brought to his colleague. He believed also that If the investigation were granted his colleague’s honor would not be touched l.y the testimony that would be produced. There was a general belief in the State of Ohio that thq election of his colleague not with his knowledge) had been accomplished through gross fraud and bribery. Whether or not sufficient evidence had been laid before the committee of the Senate it was for the Senate to say. But certainly sufficient evidence had been Bent here to put the question on its inquiry. Senator Frye, in supporting the minority report, said the question was whether bribery and corruption hod been used, an 1 not whether the Senator from Ohio had himself been a participant in it. Bills for public buildings at Clarksburg, W. Va. : Springfield, Mo., and Nebraska City, Neb., were passed by the Senate. In the House of Representatives Mr. Hatch 1M0,), from the Committee on Agriculture, reported the oleomargarine bill, with Senate amendments, and with a recommendation that they be nouconctirred in. It was referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Hoar’s resolution for an investigation of the election of Mr. Payne was defeated in the Senate on July 23, the vote standing yeas 17, nays 44. In discussing the Payne case, Mr. Hawley (Conn.) argued in favor of an investigation. He said the demand for it was not a matter of rumors or of newspapers, hut it was a great outcry from an outraged people, if there were any truth whatever in these declarations from the Legislature and from the Democratic papers. He certainly could not see how, in justice nnd dealing with the question on bread considerations, the Senate could refuse to order an investigation. Senator Evarts (New York) closed the debate in an argument against further investigation. It was not td.be doubted, he said, that the Senate was master of the question presented, aud was under rio law br restriunt. eXCept 'thnTlmpcTsed by the Constitution. But, by the Same reasons, the ' scope and boundary of the Senate's mastery and duty were limited and fixed by- the same firm instructions of the Constitution. TEB Senate had no power and no right to investigate the conduct pf 'on? political party at the request of another. It bad no power to investigate the discords of a party at the request or invitation of faction of that party. It had no power to measure, to estimate, any right or wrong that did not touch the ext ?rit and authority and scope and result that was measured to it by the Constitution. While tho Senate, continued Senator Evarts. should have great deference for a great State of 3,000,000 of people, no constitutional distinction-e«v»kl-be drawn betw u&v-such a State and one the size of Rhode Island or Delaware. He then quoted Senator Bayne’s letter to the Chairman of the Ohio Legislative Committee, . inviting and challenging the most thorough and rigid scrutiny, and offering for inspection his private correspondence and books of accounts, and Chairman Cowgill’s reply that if there was any testimony tending to inculpute him il’ayne) in any degree with auy questionable transaction his request would bo acceded to. Could any person, he asked, require a more early, a more prompt, a moro universal proposition from the Senator? - The - fact that 7 the Ohio Legislative Committee did, not call on Mr. Payne was a proof that jt did not consider there was anything before it which .required—his examination. It was , clear that from one end of Ohio to the other, in all the agitation of the subject, no imputation had touched the Senator.' He was right, then, in saving that the Senate must discard that vioW of the emitter from its consideration. The oleomargarine hill, as amended by the Senate, passed the House of Representatives by 174 yeas to 65 nays. The sundry civil appropriation bill, with the silver certificate amendment, passed the Senate on July 21. The amendment reads as follows : “And the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized and required to issue silver certificates- in denominations of 61, 62, and 65; and the silver certificates herein authorized shall be receivable, redeemable, and payable in like manner and for like purposes as is provided for silver certificates by the act of Feb) 28, 1878, entitled ‘An act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal-tender character;’ provided, That said denominations of 61, 62, and 65 may be issued in lieu of silver certificates of larger denominations in the Treasury, and to that extent said certificates of larger denominations shall be canceled and destroyed." The House of Representatives passed a naval appropriation bill amounting to 66,425,000, and the sundry civil appropriation bill. The earthquakes recorded in 1835,. according to Mons. C. Detaille, numbered ‘246, of which only six were felt in North America. January, with 49 earthquakes, had the greatest number for any month, and October, with 11,. the smallest To kill infants was thought an abominable sin by the ancient Teutons, bnt among the Homans and many other nations it was quite a common practice, and hardly blamable to kill them, especially girls.
