Those who testified to-day we»e Mewrs. John A. Corwin and Fred Perry Powers, of The Chicago Times; George B. Bain, of The New York World, and W. E. Curtis, of The Chicago Inter-Ocean. Each reaffirmed his former statement, which has been denied by Dement, whose nomination is yet before the senate for confirmation, and who alleges that the newspaper correspondents donspired to defeat his nomination. Mr. Bain refuted the charge that there was a conspiracy, by stating that he did not know Dement or Corwin, Curtis or Powers, or any of the correspondents before he was directed by The New York World to interview Dement on the day the letter's first interview slandering the senators was published. mlttee am YaMIe Lands. A YOUNG WOMAN ARRE3TED ON Washinotok, Jane 3L—I. Harris Roger*, the inv 11 tor of the P»B-Eh«ll,fc telephony has brought suit in the equity court here against Attorney General Oar land, Senator Harris, Indian Commissioner Atkins and Col. Casey Young to recover money, stocks or certificates o( stocks, which Rogers alleges I be}- have drawn from the corporation, and $100,000 hesidea to recompense him for what he has lost through breach of contrsct on their part; that has br iught ruin to his entorpriw. Mr. Rogers, in his bill of complaint, says that with a view to  telephonic inventions into practical operation be arranged to organise a joint stock company and secure the oo-operation of several comparatively obscure, but highly honorable citizens, the Rev. John RochforJ, (Jen. Marcus J. Wright, C. G. 4fc;hneider, R G. Wentersmith and Gen. Basil Duke. The defendants, he alleges, subsequently became connected with the project, making the condition that they should choose all their associates in the enterprise, to which the complainant agreed, promising to allow to each of them $50,000 of the stock to he imued. All the early incorporators were discarded by Messrs. Harris, Atkins and Young, and in tbelr places Gen. Johnston and Mr. Garland were (elected. The sixth person was never chosen, it being agreed that the $600,000 which would be thus allotted should be left in the treasury. The complainant had premised the previous incorporators $1,700,000 in stock and he stipulated "with his present friends, the defendants," that this amount should be paid. This was never done, "althoughcomplainant has urged it again and again as a matter of honor that the defendants were bound to pay" THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CALLED Washington, June i-'L—Mies Clara Barton, president -of the American Association of the Red Cross, furnished to the preas the following card respecting the recent doings and utterances of "The Brothers of the Rwl Cross" of Chicago: J& Washihotow, June 80.

The young woman took her arrest quietly, claining that the whole thing was a misthke. She says this city was her home until akout two years ago, when she went west., and resided at Evanston, 111. There she acted as nurse for Mrs. E. Quigli y, whom she subsequently accompanied to Beverly, N. J. A month after arriving there she entered the service of the Loulnger family, Mrs. Louinger being at the time in very feeble health. The attending physician, Dr. Taylor, who was called on the 4th Inst, prescribed a preparation of arsenic for his patient The nurse was told that this medicine was to dry up the skin eruptions of the patient. Vomiting having resulted, the doctor some days Inter ordered the medicine stopped. The vomiting continued at Intervals during the greater part of a week. At the suggestion of the nurse a homoeopathic doctor was called in, after which the patient stopped vomiting and appeared to be improving. Lincoln, Neb., June 8L—Tilt) officers of the National league have isrood tha following: "We nay to tbe oflWer»and membeif of branches: We are plntl !•* 1 o itita to oo» gratulate you upon In,' i.piAiJ.d jirogreaa our cause has oiade siiicj we last ad tressed you. In a parliament ejected on very different i-fiuep, the bill granting borne ruin to Ireland was only defeated lDy the narrow majority of thirty vo es. After the g norfcl election now about to take pMoe we believe that Mr. Gladstone will be In a position to undo by an overwhelming majority tha socalled unicy which that great statesman himself, in his recent addres tp Midlothian, so truly described as a paper union, obtained by force and fraud and never sanotiobad or acoeptod by the trigh nation. The measure of home rule proposed by Mr. Gladstone will, we believe, be productive of permanent peaoe and goodwill between Inland and England, while the twenty years' coercion alternative of Lord Salisbury and the marquis of Har ting ton could result only in a more deadly feud £han any that has ever before existed between the two countries, accompanied by consequenoes which every lover of liberty, e1»ry friend of humanity should deeply deplore. Tbe provincial committee's scheme of Mr. Chamberlain's is unworthy of serious consideration. In face of the desperate and.disgraceful attempts of Salisbury, Churchill and Chamberlain to foment religious strife throughout Ireland, our people have Acted nobly, and with the exception of a handful of misguided loyal fanatics in Belfast, they have shown to the world that, tin days of stupid religious bigotry and intolerance among Irishmen hm forever passed1 away. The issue of home rule far Inlaid is BOW fairly before the English people, and we leal confident that the great mass of lair minded intelligent Englishmen will support Mr, Gladstone and, by sending him back to par lltment with a large majority, enable bin to solve beneficially for England as well ai for Ireland the gnateet and most dangerou problem that the British empire has had ti deal with during this century. , , , • j In pursuance of the powers conferral upon in by tbe national executive oommittei of the league we hereby summon tbe thin regular convention ef thr Nations league of Amerffca, to jw Music hall, Chicago, on Thunday, Aug. 18 aorf B«Cf obswrring with pain «ny that a body of man recently announcing themselves in Chicago a*"lie Brother* of the Red Cross" are giving utterance to language both shocking and daipgerou* to the community, and to which utterances sufficient attention is (MB1 to Be repeated by the press at large, a word also through the press may be due to the people,' as well as to the Red Cross itself.

The provinoe, however unintentional of an assumed gnlae, is to mfetead, and In view of this we beg the iiMiilXo bear 4n mind that the real and legitimate-rRed Croa of this country knows hothfihg of this body of men. That it does not wownd, but seeks to help whom others have wounded. That today it marks erery military hospital in the civilised world. That, by national law, it is worn by every officer and eweiw attendant, man or woman*'serving the sick* or wounded of any field. That, being, of the government, it is true to the government: that, being of the people, it is true to Mb piwple; that, being of humanity, tt to tr*«'.*D humanity; that, by the articles of the treaty under which it exists, and tt» own prtniipies, it can never be aggressive; it can assimilate with anvcny, hostilities or violence, but that when and where the threatened work of such as these leaves off th» work of the real Red Cross must forever begin. 6- CLilJr Bartow, President at the National Bed jpross of the United States. ,* , than be rctned the -Coarto» "Dement impressed me," said Bain, "as a man tasking newspaper notoriety.

The prisoner states further that she then began using this medicine herself, and had the bottle refilled a number of times at the drug store of Dr. Taylor, the dismissed physician. Her bo tire in using the medicine was to improve her complexion. The doctor finally saw the bottle in his store, where it had been left to be replied, and retained it, afterward going to the Louinger rpHidenoe, where he demanded of Miss Me- Dermott if she bad given all that medicine to the sick woman. She replied that she certainly did not, an, knowing the 4elioate condition of the patient, she was well aware that it would have killed her. Afterward she asked Hr. Louinger if be imagined that she had given alt that medicine to his wife. He replied that be did not like to suspect such a thing, leaving her undor the impression that he did not believe she Iptd. The nurse then told him that she proposed to leave, thinking probably that a change of nurses and physicians would be beneficial.
