THE “ RETRACTING” AFFIDAVIT. ‘Mr. Bliss reviewed the testimony of 8. W. Dorsey about the “retracting” aMdavit, and very skill- fully showed to what makeshifts Dorsey resorted in explaining the affidavit, on the theory that Ret dell had prepared it at his’ own volition and with- out suggestion. That afMuavit, he claimed, was dictated and formed by the man who subsequ*ntly presented It to the President. There was but one man who could save Dorsey from the effect of the contradictions and Inconsistencies in his own tes- timony, and that man was J. W. Bosler; but the defense had not called him to the stand. DORSEY’S CONTRADICTIONS, Mr. Bliss also referred to other contradictions by S. W. Dersey. He referred to one occasion when Dorsey, off his guard for a moment, reviled Rerdell for claiming in his Jersey City telegram that he had been faithful to ev-ry trust, though at that time he had a stolen book under his arm. At other times Dorsey had dented that Rerdell had obtained any book from his oMfce. A REFLECTION UPON THE MEMORY OF GARFIELD, Mr. Bilss thought nothing would exceed the enormity or the attempt of Dorsey to impose this Rerdell affidavit upon Prestdent Garfeld for the purpose of securing the removal of two Cabinet officers, or the audacity of Dotsey’s statement that if Gartl’ld had lived Messrs. James and MacVeagh would have been removed, It was a reflection upon the memory of Garfield. z ‘AU this point the usual mid-day reces3 was taken, ple se Hes Civil Service Rules. ‘THE MAIN FEATURES OP THE REGULATIONS, The civil service rules have been flnaliy agreed upon and approved by the President.

Wilson In respect to the use of the tracks of the Metropolitan company from Louisiana avenue to E street northwest. The answer cites the acts of Congress in reference to the roa‘, quoting espe clally from the act of March 1st, 1883, the proviso “that no new track shall be laid along 9th trom Dstreet to Louisiana avenue, but said comp iny May use the tracks of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company,” &. It dentes that authority isgiven to use the tracks between E street ani Louisiana avenue, or that authority is granted to the court to determine on the terms for such use. It avers that the cost of the tracks on 9th street, between E street and Louisiana avenue, and oj paving and keeping the space between the tracks and two feet on either side, has greatly exceeded $3,500, and says should the Court take jurisdiction it should, under the act of March 81, 1875, deter- mine how and on what conditions said tracks should be used, and also how and by what meth- ‘ods connection’ should be made and maintained, and the use of inferior and insuMiclent methuds of communication should be prohibited, REFERRED TO THE AUDITOR. An order was made referring the cause to the auditor to report upon what conditions the belt line shall be permitted to use the tracks; what would be proper compensation, and what regula- tions shall be imposed, and what kind of counec- tions should be made. ————— ALLEGED UNLICENSED PRopucE DEALERS..—To- day Detecitves Raff, Carter and Block arrested a number of dealers’ in corn and other country Protucts on the charge of being produce dealers without license.
