He beld that no charge was made that Boyd was i party to the conspiracy. Mr, Harwood insisted that the issue and contest yd v was whether Mr. lects kler insisted that Boyd was talk- ingto his friends when he addressed the Powers or Mr. Personal Rights league. Mr. Wilson informed Notary Wilson that © had nothing to say concerning the rejec- §on of testimony, and that a higher court d such o power. Notary Tebbitts finally sduiitted the testimony under protest. The witness answer Yes, Court adjourned until 2 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. At,2 p. m. the witness was cross-examined, Me testified as follows: Mr. Boyd said at the { rsonal Rights league meeting two weeks cfore clection : “If there are any laws 1 {u this country infringing upon your rights of the persons assembled that e would aid them in resisting.” The question was asked by Harwood: “Would you say that GeorgeWashington and his colleagues were anarchists because they tolerated such opinions Answer—Well, T don't know.

Cross-examination: T was not hurt except in my feclings. 1voted the republican ticket \and for the amendment. There was some iuterference in one vote. An old man, Idon't kunow his name, wanted to vote the repub- Jican ticketand for the amendment. T fixed his ticket for him. He reached the polls with veat difficulty, The crowd tried to confuse him and make him believe he had the wrong ticket. I saw nooody that day who wished 1o vote for Mr. Powers who was interfered with from so voting. lathe aftornoon I returned to the polls. Had I'suspected [ would have been killed I would not have returned. Tne man who threat cened me shook his fists in my face, but did nothiug more. 1was not afraid. I saw no- body driven from the polls. Nobody was treated so violently as [ whs, althongh a aum- ber wero treated somowhat as [was, My belief is that the violence grew not out of tho feeling concerning —the candiaates, but concerning the mutter of vrohibition. N. Osterholm of Nineteenth and € strocts, of Omaha, was called. Testimony objected to, Ho testified: 1 peddled repub- Yican, democratic, independentand prohibi- tions tickets in the Third precinct of the Jighth ward, The tickets favored the pro- hibition amendment. 1 was told that the tickots were spurious, An egg was thrown at me, My brother who came toward me was struck with an egg. I gave the persons no occasion for assault. T donot know that 4t would have been unsafe to challenge Boyd tickets, O examination: I did not see anyone deterred from voting for whatever candidate he choss Rev. Q. H. Shinn of the Third precinct of the Ninth ward of Omaha was the next wi ness, Toctimony objected to. Witness testi- fied: T voted at moon. I also wentto the Iirst precinet of the Third ward. I had Jick- ets for all tho parties, but all favor- ing the prohibition amendment There were three tickets deposited in the ballot box which were for tne amendment. I saw a man take tickets out of the hands of voters ana say, “You have the wrong tickets.” The voters seeped to be confused and ignorant, Thoman had tigkets and he gave them to him, [ saw three persons with Personal Rights league badges on. | was near the poll- ing window. A regular policeman took me nway from the polling window, He said [ had no right there as I w not a voter, Mr, Coodroveup. He said for me not to remain there. Holives in the same ward that I do. I appealed to him for protection. He led mo outside of the crowd. Coe's sentiments secmed o ho in sympathy with the crowd and the policoman, Cross examination : Twas mot interfered with in casting my vote. The whole aim of the crowd seemed to be to defeat prohibition and eloct Boyd, I couldn't say that any Richards men were working against tho amendment. The Other C o testimony esta, in the contests for state ex- ecutive officers outsido of governor was as Tollows : J. Phipps Roe was the first witness. Ques- tioned by Lamb, he stated that he had been a citizen of Owmaha for sixteen years, and was at the present time a resident of the Fourth precinet of the First ward, Ho was at the polling place in that precinct on Novembor 4 and saw persons pedaling republican and democrrtic tickets, Ho tostiffed that he himself was peddling amendmont tickets of the republican, demo- cratic, indopendent aud prohibition parties Asked whether the noslilo feeling against the amendment prevailed among democrats as well as ropubllcans, he stated that it was general, and that there had been mauifosta- tious of it prior and leadiug up o the day of the elections. One of the evidences of hos- tility was the efforts on the part of the lead- 4ng press to belittle or to show their con- l('ulu for all those engaged in amendment ‘work, and ospeclally to the leaders of the Gospel Temperance union, Ou the day ot /Abe olection, while peddling wmendment tickets at the polls, he was accosted by a crowd who claimed his tickets were ill wushed away from the polls, and subjected to anuch personal abuse. Three or four men threatened him with o gas pipe, but ke evaded them, keeping as near as possible to the de- tectives and policetnen. J. M.

In the Second precinct of the Fourth ward some stranger said that the independent ticket was very dangerous. I cuninot name a person who wished to vote for Powers and was re- fused. I did not see anyene provented from voting for Mr. Powers in Omaha at the other polls. W H, Shorwood of the Fifth district of the Sixth ward of Omaha was called. His testi- mony objected to. He testificd that he went to the Second precinct of md ward to work for the amendment. He said: I ped- died republican, democratic, independ- ent and prohibition tickets, Scme of tho tickets had Mr. Powers’ name on them. ‘I'ne erowd about the volling place was pretty wild, Isaw two or three persons wearing Porsonal Rights = loague sadges.

Mr. Henderson of Towasaid the deficiencies had begun when the democrats came Into control and cut the appropriation: At during tho last yoar ther ficiency of $25,000,000, M. Dockery said that a few months ago he stood on this floor and declared that the re- publicans were refusing for_party purposes to appropriate within 45,000,000 of the amount required for pensions under th isting law. This deciaration was almost sub- stantiated by the fact that the commissioner now came asking for o deficiency of £34,500,- (00, Mr. Dockery then beanched into a dis- cussion of the general financial condition_of the country, prosenting tables to show that will bo a dof July 1, 1502, of over | %7,500,000, and said this did not ineludo any deficiency for the fiscal vears 1801 or 1872 ex- cept the pension deficiency Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky said this was not a question as to whether the present commissioner had taken | part in the recent campaign or whether | the former commissi of the | charges made nt was that the probabiliti 1 seven vears there will be 1,000,000 pensioners on the rolls, who will be paid 170,000,000 annu- ally, The first necessity was to meet the question frankly by adeqiiete appropriations; th nd was to T a committee to in- vestigate the bureau thoroughly, have the list rovised and strike off unworthy pension- ers; the third was to transfer the bureau to the war department and take it out of the domain_of politics.

The election bill was then. at 1:30, taken up, and Mr. Gray addressed the senate in op- position toit. Mr. Gray said the bill was fraught with the gréatest danger to the future prosperity of the whole country; that it menaced the liberties of the people of all the state Speaking of the southern states, Mr, Gray referred to the improvement of affiirs there since the reconstruction period and asked why should they be in- terferred with.

WasHINGTON, Dee., 5,—The president today transmitted to the house the correspondence growing out of the killing of General B rundia by the Guatemala authorities, TIn his first letter to Secretary Blaine, under date of August 20, in regard to the killiog, Muzn alludes to bis telegram to Captain Pitts, in- forming him that under the law of nations Guatemala had a right to take from a neatral ship in Guatemalan waters in time of war any person for any cause deemed an offense under international law. He further in- formed Captain Pitts that allegations had been made to the legation that Barrundia was hostile to Guatemala, Guarantees had been made to him (Mizner) that Barrundia's life should not be in danger for the causes charged. Mizer says that he reccived a telegram from Commander Reiter of the United States ship Thetis, uuknnwmduuu{ Guatemala's right over the steamer aud requesting Mizuer to obtain permission from the government to roturn Barrundia to Mexico in the Thetis. The minister of foreign rela- taons positively declined to accede to this re- quest. All the circumstances and Barrun- in's well known hostility to Guatemala and attempted invasion from Mexic Mizner says, decided lus course, and ho accordingly, in m!‘mnw to 4 request for written, not tele- graphic orders, sent Captain Piuts’ a letter adyising him 1o submit to the arvest of his senger. The following day Commander Reiter telographed Barrundia’s death., Miz- uer says he afterwards callod on the minister of foreign relatious for an explanation of the affair.

On more than one occasion this government has permitted its legations and ships of war to offer hospitality to political refugees. This is done from motives of humanity. The gov- erument's views would not have been less pronounced if, in addition to the humane as- pect of the subject, it had also been confront- ed with the duty of preventing the decks of its merchant vessels from being made the theater of illegal violenco upon groundless aud unlawful excuses and without even a pretense of legal formality. “‘For your course, therefore, I can discover mno justification.
