Palllan, a citizan of Tennessee employed a Washington lawyer to prosecute s clalm against the government The claim was allowed and in 1882 a treasury draft was made to Palllan and delivered to the lawyer. The latter clafmed $1 500. This clalin he assigned to the German American Natlonal bank, which faiied and delivered Pallian’s draft to the recelver of the bank. Pailian died In Tennessee. An alministrater was there appolnted to admlnister his affalrs, and an adm'nistrator was appolnted in the District of Colum- bla. The bank recelver applied to the first comptroller to {natruct the treasurer to ry the draft on the endorssment of the district admipistrator, which was refused, ‘because the supreme court had de- clded that in such cases payment must be made to the Tennessee administra- tor. The recalver then field a ored- {tor’s bill ia equity in the district agalost the district administrator. The attorney, by published notice, at- tempted to make the Tennessee ad- mialstrator party defendant. The decree was made that the recelver should endorse and collect the money on the draft, retaln $1 500 and pay the resldae in the court for the Ten- nesseo administrator. The decrse was preeonted to the first comptroller with a request that he instruct the treasurer to make payment, Judge Lawrence decides that the legal title to the draft is in the Tennessee administrator, This was dacided by the suprem> court In 1 Peters, 11, Payment cannot be made to arecelver the title of the Tennesseo ad- tor has been divested and veated In the recelver. Tha legal title of the Teunessee adminlstrator has not bsen divested, because ho could net be saed in the distriot, even if he was found here, and hence cannot be by notlea published, This was alio decided by the supreme court. The decree here could not take awsy the right of the T«nnetsee administratoror glveit tothe recelver here.

M ST ON LABOR It was expected that Horr Moat would meot delegates of the Federa- tion of Labor at their hall last nght for the purpose of an interchavge cf viiws on the labor question. Thie meeting did not take plase. Most waited at h's hotel to be sent fcr by a commlitee, but a stormy debate took plsce In the Federatlon, starting from the book bindera’ union, some expresa: ing the fear that theqnestions of dyna- mite and violence might be brought up shonld such meetiog take place. The diicassion ended ina dlsruption caused by the outspoken exprossions of knownothinglsm, Herr Moits supporters belng mcstly Garman and the Federation of Libor bolrg about cqually divided between native born and foreigners. After their adjourn- ment at the hall the president and eight of the dolegaten visited Most at the hotel, where there was nlrea sembled & commliteo fr m the “‘Ar. bolter Vereln.” A delegate from the bricklayers’ uvlon meved that the as- semblage con-ider 1self & meetirg of ‘“‘ndividusl workingmen, mot ropre- senting any unions or socleties "’ This was carrled, and Herr Most waa re- quested to state his viows on the labor qestion, which he did in » ten min- utea’ speech, delivered in Eaglish, Agreat part of Moat's speech was de- voted to s-!nnu of himselt agatnst the newspapers which, he said, had charged him with advisiug maurder, robbery, the burning of granarles, deatruction of labor saving machinery and the division of all capital among the poor. He said: “‘They call ms murderer because I said it would be impossible for me to lament when a monster like the late Czar of Russla was executed by the hands of oppressed people They aall moe robber because I showed the people how they were beirg robbed by the ocapitalistic clasa, be- cause Isril it was necessary to bring forward another system of production by which workingmen could enjoy the results of their industry. The writers for thieves became very much excited and denounced ms as & robbor. They misrepresent i1 the highest degree when they said I advised a dlvision of all capltal among the geople‘ All T asked for was the abolition of the present uvjust division of the fruits of the iadustry of workmen among oapitallste. With regard to labor sav- ing maehluery, I oclaimed that we are entltled to our share in every new lavention, He who de- olares that the rejults of sclencs should belong exclasivaly to a few of the privileged olass talks nonsense and is a robber. I want to see the form- |, atlon of another system in which machicery like all capital of pro- ductions should belong to the several socleties aud not to a few rich men. The pits for the miners, the land for the farmers, manufactories for operatives and nothing fir idlers— ‘“That's what I waat.” Speaking of the condition of the laboring classes in Earope he sald, “‘all legal meauns for getting any re- form or progress have been taken awsy fromue, Nothiog is left us but force.” He advised workisgmen in Amerloa to organizs as well and quiok- ly as postible s0 as to bring politicsl power into the handsof the people. The ospitalists in this ocountry, he sald, would not give up thelr prlvi- leges and their poweraud the ‘‘tyrane ous iofluences’” without exerolse of free to compel them to do so.

All the testimeny for the proaecu. tion and defense in the star route trials is now in and the arguments will probably begin to-morrow, Oa resssawbling tims was ocoupied by discussion as to what should be the order of argnment to the jury. The court sald it would see that a fair division wes had. The conrt wou'd allow the goveroment to opeu and close. The coart did not know that the government desired more than one closing argument, bat had heard inti- mations that the attoroey general might wish to speak. * 1 don't know that I would call that two arguments,” sald Iogersoll, sneer- ingly, ¢ bat I object to the precedent. If the attorney general wants to say a word in this case let him have the courage to make his argament where he can be answered, not that I think he would do any particular harm; how- ever, if he wanta to make the closing argument I should ba delighted, bus to two closing arguments I objeot.” Ingersol! iusisted he would refuse to make an addrees 1f the government were allowed two closlug arguments NEW INDICTMENTS, The grand jury came in during the diecuselon and returned the follewing indictmente: One agalns: Wm, Pitt Kollogg, for recelving money whilst United States menslor for services rendered in relation to a contract with the United S:iates; ono agaiast Taos J.

Adjourned. EX BENATOR KELL(GO sald to-night that he had little to add to what he hes dy sald about Price and Walsh's evidence and Brady's Indictmouts excapt that he was surprised when an Indictment was found and_prerentiment made on the 27th of March last it specified that tho alleged offsrcy was commit- ted on the 17.h of " April 1880, although whatever evidence there was in the case showed the offense, if any, was really committed on the 16:h ot Aprll 1879 and as yestorday was the 17th of April when even by terms preeentment of the alleged cffenae it became barrea, he was natarally sur- prised at the indictment. He could not now understand why to-day an indlo'ment should have been brought in, He sald he believed this prooeed- ing was Instituted mainly with o view of sffectlng the pending trial, and while he felt aggrived that & prccoed- ing of this kind should have been in s ituted upon such evidere?, given by & man who he sald was personally hostile to him, and bad been pursaiog him for more thana year, and that the proceeding should have been con- ducted aud urged by a bitter politisal opponent, still, as the evidence upon which this Indictment 18 brought was conaldered by two previous grand jarles, composed of some of the most prominent citizens of the district, who unanimously ignored it, and was pessed over by a third grand jary, oom| of men of equally high standiog, he had no fear of. the ulti- mate result.
