Mr. Bij low was assured that the President would give matter careful consideration. The mat in points of the argument are: That the court erred in trying the prisoner for a_ violation of the 62d article of War; that United States troops were guardin; Distiict. jail without. lawful authority; tha the Secretary of War had no lawful authority to order the troops there. and that on account of the posi- tion in which Mason stood when he fi Guiteaw’s and of red, ition in hiscell, it was a physical impossibility that the latter should have been in any danger from the snot.

McKee Worden, draughtsman in the Post OMice department, testified that he made the hec- tograph copy of plats of route from St. Charles to Greenhorn, 38,185, and other routes, and that they were correctly taken from the official maps of the department. In the case of one route witness said that the route was marked tn accordance with the suggestions of Mr. Wooaward. ‘The witness was examined at some length for the of showing that various 4! present rep- resented the route as travelled and not as adver- us Jno. T. Callahan, clerk in the inspection office of the Post Office department, was sworn and pro- duced a record to show a recoupment by the de- partment for services paid for but not performed on route 38,185.

Mr. Hoar introduced a bill to provide forthe Performance of the duties of the office of President in case of the removal, resignation, inability or death doth of the President and Vice President. It vests the succession to the presidency in the mem- bers of the Cabinet in the order in which they were named in Washington's Cabinet, beginning with the Secretary of State, and concluding with the Secretary of the Interior, and excludes Cabinet officers not. evously confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Hoar, in reply to inquiries, said the scheme, while permanently arranging the order of succes- sion would reniove the motive to take the life of a President-elect as a means of changing the admin- istrative policy which the people are sup) to Sanction ata presidential election. Ifa vacancy should occur in the Presidency as now filled, the office would be held by the presiding officer of the Senate end a presidential election would have to be held in the ensuing fall. Inthe event of this special election being held in the middle of a term of Congress the whole governmental machinery would be deranged by it Another difficulty was that the presiding officer of the Senate or the speaker of the House, if temporarily called to act as President, would be obliged to serve also at the same time in his office in either house, THE CONFERENCE. } A dispatch to the Times trom Constantinople states that the porte has been assured that the conference will be strictly confined to the discuss | sion of the Egyptian question. Spain considers: that she should be represented at the conference, as the Suez canal is the shortest route to her east ern poss some papers rather uncere- moniously from Mr. ‘rotten’s hand, remarked that Mr. Wilson nad deliberately withheld the papers belonging to the inspection division, Mr. Wilson dented this with much emphasis. Mr. Totten said, very sharply: “Mr. Bliss, here- after I don’t want you to snatch papers from my hand in that way.” Then followed a colloquy, in which considerable warm feeling was shown, and the court had tocall the counsel to order. The witness then looked over the Papers, in- cluding those recovered by Mr. Bliss from Mr. Tot- ten, and sald none of them belonged to the in- sessions. U.8.

He suggested the reference of the bill to the judiciary committe, in which his own measure was still pentling. Mr. Anthony said the difficulties and dangers surrounding the question of a disputed succession made it almost criminal for Congress to adjourn without, providing some means of settlement. The bill was referred to the judiciary com- EgypUan question. Failing her assent, the confers ence will mect elsewhere than at Constantinople, without Turkey's participation, The witness said that according to the records the first information obtained by the Inspection division that Agate (on route 38,135) had not been supplied was received December, 1881, after Mr. Brady had left the office. Mr. Bliss called the attention of the witness to a letter of the postmaster at Pueblo to Mr. Brady, dated December 24, 1880, reporting the failure 01 the contractor to serve’ Agate, but the witness The Steamship Canadian Ashore, Hawirax, N. 8., June 16.—The Allan line steams ship Canadian, from Glasgow and Liverpool for Unis port, struck on Thump Cap shoals last nighs* in a dense fog.
