THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL. Spectal Dispatch to Tus bne. WasHINGEON, April 8 —In the star route trial to-day Dorsey was still on the stand. The witness sald that Rer- dell hiad written Miss Springeman a number of very viclous letters, which she had copled and had transmitted to witness in New Mexico. These letters had been shown to Rerdell while he was 1o jall only for his information, The witness had procared a situation In «che treasury department for Miss Springeman, e did mnot threaten Rerdell with any lotters. The witness had seen Gen. Garfield in the presence of Col. Ingeraoll, but the witness did not be- leve the Rerdell had gome to M- Vesgh and James when he first heard of it. IES could l;::l remember ';hl%th- er he pre| any part of Rer- dell’s retrutfix‘g affidavit, When asked whether he had not sought to use the affidavit to secure the removal of James and MoVeagh, them with burglary and other heinous offenses in ‘seeking’ to prooure his (Dorsey's) books and papers to be stolen, Dorsey defisntly declared He had done everything he oould to secure thelr roemoval, and that the charges in the affidavit were true and that Governor Foster, of Ohlo, had told the president substantislly the same thing, and had said, those offi- oers oaght to be removed.” The wit- ness’ cpinion was that if the president had lived another week he would have followed that advice, He Indignantly repelled the assumption that he had soaght any protection from James and MoVeagh, and asked if the council believed *‘that & pismire could hurt an elephant.” Mertick—Which is pismire, and which is an elephant? Dorsey—-I will leave that to popular opinion, The witness said he had not trled every ponsible way to have James and MacVeagh removed, sod his'tongve had not kmown {tseunnipng,, _ ‘The - eros-examination wes then closed. Ingeraoll announced that he had ex- pected the cross-examination to con- tinue & week or two longer; he stated that he had no farther questions to ask, The witness was dismissed, and the court adjourned.

T MONETARY MATTERS, The total amount of bonds offered for redemption in response to the Treasury deparment's circular pro- vidiog for the pavment of bonds em- braced in the 120th call is $2,900,- 200 The clrcular gave mnotice that $5,000,000 of these bonds are to be redeemed on the 4:h instant in the order of their presentation, ‘The total amount of bansl presented since the lssue of the clrcalar is only $635,200, The other bonds to be re- deemed are those held by the state of New York, amounting to $2,265,000, which were » ered for redemp- tlon, with interest to date of payment, several days before the circular was is- sued. The above mentioned facts are constroed by the ctlislals of the treas- ury department as ind'cating that the reported stringency iu the money market was more fictitious than real. ENGRAVING AND PRINTING, As indloated in these dispatches & short time ago, Secretary Folyer has appointed Capt. T. M. Barrlll, of New York, chief of the bureau of engrav- ing and printing, to sucoead the late Qol. Irish. The uew chief i3 a towns- man of the secretary, belng a citizan of Geneva, and for the past year and & half has covupied the positivn of rchaslng wgent for the bureau. apt. Burrill made a good record durlng the late war, and at the closs was made a captain In the regular army, He did not re- maln long in the service sfter active operations ceased, but reslgned hls commission and engaged in business in New York. He had alwa; talned fotl &z.llsn, and when eorelary fixed upon Cptain Bur- .!fll a8 the n.; uwfint n':. d:hhyod n sppolatment at- | from which he has been sufferlog #o long. The new chief has been for soms tlme eagagea in the work of familiarizlog himeelf with the duties of the position, in which he was instructed by Assistaut Chief Sallivan, who will be retained In thls capacity. THE SPEAKERSHIP WasnINGTON, April 3. —It is re- orted that while Mesare. Carlisle and fhndlll have been undecided as to which should have the speakership of the next houss, Mr. S. 8, Cox, of New York, has been quietly at work, and to the sarprise ot the politiclans, enters the ring with the balancs of power already at his com- mand. Itappears that no less than seventeen votes are pledged from Now York to thelr favorite statesmsn, and all but three in Ohio are pronounced “‘alf right.” To swell this force it 11 underatood that Mr. Holman's friends are counted upon, the objector trom Indlana himself having retired from the contest various acoretiona to the Cox phalanx are promised from the south, notably Texss and Missourl, and, with the excep- tion of Rosecrans, the Paolfic slopo s said to be solld In his favor. The Illinois delegatlon ls claimed by Cox's friends sfter a vote for Springer, exoept Mr, Morrison, who is reported to be for Carlisle first andlast. The Irish-American members—Robinson, Finerty, and one or two others—are counted as safe for Cox by the loglo of events, he having vied with them in pulling the caudal extremity of the British lion for the past ten yoars. Me Cox's frlends maintain that the speakership should go to New York this time by rights, because the state has not had the office for sixty-three years, when by a coln- cidence it was held by an uncle of their candidate. In addition to other claims the iosist that the demooratic party should lose no opportuaity to fasten itself in the affections of the people of that state, for upon it will probably hinge the mext presidential election, Every effort should be made to tempt the demooratic hosts to vallant deeds by minary taste of federal spoils at the hands of their own party. They fally expect to fall heir to the administration of the gov- ernment in 1884, and they think that with Mr, Cox in the chair much could be done to bring about the desired re- sult. Inshort, Mr. Oox is alleged to have quite a “‘boom,” which has been quletly nursed to dignifisd propoms tions, - OUR PORK IN FRANCE, Consul Wilson, of Nantes, in a coms munication to the state department, aaserts that ‘‘interested influences” were broughtto bear to secure the pro- hibition of American pork in France. He nays he flads extending through the business community general and wldespread dislike for and opposition to the American tariff, so far as it may offsos any articles exported from France, and also a isposi- tion to retaliate, and that this feeling of dislike and opposition is in. m.d by the situstion l: regard ': pork, where, he addw: &fi’mm. to retaliste, He gave a resume of history reports made by interested persons to secure legia- lative interposition between the fail- ing French pork trade and American competition from 1877 to date, and stroogly intimates that representations made to the minister of agriculture and commerce by ¥rench pork dealers, rather than any objectlon to the qu: ity of American pork, caused the 1ssu- auce of the decree of prohibition, Gladstone’s Indifference. 8pe {al Dispatch to Tus Bas. New Yomrg, Aprll 3.—The World says: Private letters from London state that Gladatone is.visibly falling and he no longer shows the indefati- gable intereat in matters golng on in the house, Of late hehas shuwn aymp- toms of being °‘;mll'.luly bored, a thing without precedent in his career, ,Those who are best informed as to his con- ditfon and his views seem to be pratty unanimously of the opinion that he will hand over the reins at an early date to Hartington and seek repose in the upper house. - —— — The Indian War.
