In addition tocol, the atmosphere of refrigerated partment must not only be dry, but pure, and these conditions must be maintained as sbsolutely as cola” To sdmit air from the outside, and discharge it as fast ‘ts it becomes impure, is practically impossible, even if st did not consume a lange amount of {ce in cooling the air sdmitted warm and discharged cold. A still greater objection to this ventilating system is found in the fact ‘that the hotter the afr in summer the more moisture and germs it contains; consequently; the poorer it is fora pre- serving atmosphere. Under these circumstances it will ‘be seen that the only successful refrigerstion must be on the plan of keeping the air originally confined on the closing of the refrigerated apartment pure and dry. ‘This is accomplished by the Ridgway system, J.

Blount, Holman and two or three other obstructionists succeeded in their favorite practice of preventing any action. The sewerage bill was amended so as to require the District to pay four per cent interest on its half of the loan to complete the sewerage system, and then laid it aside without further action. Mr. Holman proposed an amendment to the bill auth izing an Increase in tue rate of taxation in the Dis- trict to meet the expense without a loxn. The sen- Ument of the House seemed to bein favor of the Dill, looking upon it as a very necessary measure. ‘Mr. Spriggs, who is one of the most energetic members of the District committee, said in conver- sation with a Stak reporter vo-day that he was satisfied that the bill would pass when {t was called ‘up one Week from next Monday. *] intend to get @ vote on tt in a full House, and It ts bound to pass. if there 1s @ point of no quorum, I shail demand a call of the House, and push the’ matter to an end.

The free bridge bill will, in accordance with the action taken In the Senate yesterday, come up in ‘that body Monday unless sooner called up by the District committee. The opinion of members of the committee is that at the regular meeting on | Friaay the proposition of the Aqueduet bridge par- | ties to make a perfect ttle to that property will be considered, together with such other new points as, have arisen since the Riddieberger bill was re- Ported. ir the examination sutistiés the committee hat a perfect title to the Aqueduct bridge can be secured without delay they may conclude to report, in favor of the purchase of that structure; but if ‘this course fs taken the purchase will be limited to sixty days, and a complete title will be required within that time. Failing to obtain a satisfactory titie within two months the construction of a bridge at the Three Sisters will bemade mandatory. ‘The discussion yesterday demonstrated that the Senate Is, practically unanimous in favor of a free bridge. ‘Those who voted aguinst immediate con- sideration did so uj they merely wanted time to have the matter of tlle to the Aqueduct bridge inquired into. It 1s evident that any plan for a free bridge which shall Tecelve the sanction of the District. committee Will Pass the Senate. ‘THE FREE BRIDGE BILL IN THE HOUSE. ‘When the committee of the whole rose yesterday afternoon, and it became the duty of the chairman to report to the House the action of the committe, it Decame evident that there wasa misapprehen- sion concerning the action of the committee upon the free bridge Dil Mr. Vance reported that the committee agreed to favorably recommend the bill. ‘This provoked the laughter of the House, and the many opponents of the bill rose to explain that, on the contrary, the Dillhad been virtually defeal Mr. Muldrow said that it was quite evident that they Were involved ina curious entanglement, and to prevent further discussion he would move that the bill be recommitted to the District committer, ‘This Was agreed to.

IT GETS FAIRLY UXDER WAY TO-DAT—THE JURT— WHAT THE GOVERNMENT EXPERT] TO FROVE— OPENING TESTIMONY. ‘The case of ex-Senator Kellogg was set for trial in the Criminal Court to-day. The charge against ex-Senator Kellogg is, that while a Senator of the United States he, in violation of section 1782, R. S., Tecelved compensation in notes and drafts from J. B. Price, a star route contractor, for influencing. Second Assistant Postmaster General Brady to al- low additional pay for expedition oh routes $1148, from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, Texas, and 30183, from Monroe to Shreveport, La. Messrs.

Wilson asked for a postpone- Ment until noon, as he had an argument to make in Judge Hagner’s court, Judge Wylie, however, thought such a postpone- ment Was unnecessary, as they could go on organ- izing a jury and opening the case for the govern- ment in Mr. Wilson's absence, He thought the Jury laws were so plain that no speclal advantage ‘Would be gained by Mr. Wilson’s presence. A jury was called Into the box. Mr. I yt in= ‘sisted that the government should Meee with its challenges.

INGERSOLL’S MOTION OVERRULED. After considerable discussion between the court and Mr. Ingersoll a3 to the proper method of organ- izing the jury, Mr. Ingersoll made a motion that ‘the prosecution be required to pass first upon the Jury, and then tender the Jury to the defense. This ‘Was overruled, AN ARGUMENT AS TO CHALLENGES. ‘The defense finally began to challenge the jurors. Jurors Thomas Fay and Wm. R. Daly were per- emptorily challenged by Mr. Nathaniel Wilson. AD argument arose as to the number of challenges to which the defense were entitled. The defense claimed ten, as the character of the offense charged was felony, the punishment provided being infamous. The government insisted that the de- Tense bad but four challenges and the government Ubree, as the offense was expressly stated by statue to be a misdemeanor. Mr, Ingersoll argued that the charatter of an offense Was determined by the puntshment pro- vided. In thls case the ualshment would take from the defendant not his property, but, is Political privileges, which were infinitely more valuable than property. THE COURT ON “POLITICAL PRIVILEGES” IN THE DISTRICT. “In this country,” said Judge Wylle, “property 18 considered more valuable than anything else, and in this District property certainly 1s more valuable than polltical privileges. We have no political prifileges uere. and vet, certainly, the whole popu- no Is not Infamotis.” ‘hese poiiticul privileges,” sald Mr. Ingersoll, «were not taken away for critne, If Uhey had been. that would have been infamous.” NO JUROR IN THE BOX WHO HAD FORMED aN OPINION. Judge Wylie having restricted the defense to four challenges the defense tendered the Jury to the Prosecution. The government asked the privilege of questioning the jurors as to whether they had formed opinions of the case. Judge Wylie said he Would put the question tothe Jury at large, and turning to the Jury box sald that if there was any Juror who had forined an opinion of the guilt or in- hotence of the defendant he should not retain his CHALLENGES BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE DEFENSE. ‘The jurors remained motionless and silent. The government then challenged peremptorily Jurors W. H. Lee, Jno. W. A. Queen and Win. H. Bell. ‘Mr. Nathaniel Wilson sald he would chellenge Mr. John N. Coyle for tavor, as he was a brother uf the assistant district attorney. Mr. Wilson said he Understood Juror Coyle bad ‘Deen em- ployed by the district attorney.

Mr. Coyle then was excused at his own request. THE WORK OF SELECTING A JURY GOES ON. Mr. H. 0.

MR. KER OPENS THE CASE FOR THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. Ker then began the opening for the govern- ment. Mr. Ker said the facts of the case were ‘simple and plain. It was, he sald,an extreme case— Such a case a8 a jury was seldom called upon to consider. He read the section 178, R. 8, forbid- ding members of Congress, heads of departments and others from receiving’ any compensation for services in which the United States was, directly or indirectly, interested. In 1878 John B. made contract to carry the mailson the routes from Monroe to Shreveport, Lu., for $9,390 ayear. He made also a contract on the route from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, ‘Texas, for $2,733 a year. Shortly after making thé contract on’ the latter route an order was made increasing the service to six trips week. Mr. Ker stopped to qgplain the meaning of “increase” and “expedition.” One year after the contract was made Price sent over the routes to get signatures to petitions for a reduction of time'from thirty-six hours to twenty-nine on the Louisiana route and from forty to twenty-nine on the Texas Toute. For some reason Mr. Brady dia not grant the petitions. Price then took the petitions to Mr. Keliogg, at Willard’s ‘and told himgf he could get the expedition allow HE WOULD GIVE HIM (KELLOGG) $20,000. Kellogg took the papers, and said: “I will see about, 1s all right;- @e expedition will be granted.” Mr. Price then gave Mr. Kellogg five postal drafts for ‘the order of Wm. P. Kellogg and indorsed by logg. Unfortunately, when Walsh up peas in Wash itor say Bin yaper and Et] a ‘Mr. Ker The Taking of Testimony Begun. Thomas B. Kirby, formerly privaye secretary to the Postmaster General, was the frst witness called, and identified coples of the oficial postal laws, rules and regulations. and identified the ‘contracts and orders on the two routes in question. Mr. Jere. Wilson, In cross-examination, wanted tobring out the tact that all the papers in the Jackets had not been produced. Mr. Worthington said that the defense could pro- duce what other papers it wanted in its own tine. Mr. Wilson argued that ft should be shown that at Uhe Ume Mr. Kellogg was cuarized with persuad- ing Mr. Brady that there were on fle also petitions asking for the same thing. Judge Welle said that that would be mo detense of Kei a ‘The witiess said that he thought the papers of- fered were all of the papers in the Jackets at the ‘Ume the orders were made. JUDGE WYLIE'S LESSON. After recess John M. Norris, a clerk In the con- tract office, Post Office department, was called to Prove official papers. Inspector P. H. Woodward was called also and examined as to the papers. Judge Wylie said all the morning had been spent | th approaching the proof of a question that was not disputed, and that Was that Mr. Price was con- tractor on certatn routes. Ha did not propose to Spend all summer on trifles. “You cannot inake @ ir route case out of this," said Judge Wylie, “1 Teceived a lesson from the other Cases which I shall never forget and I shall never foliow.” Mr. Worthington read Price's contracts tn the | two routes and the orders of expedition, Amos M.
