From your letter I am satisfied you have views independent of the decisions of this department. You are therefore dismissed. John" W. Noble, Secretary." One of the best speeches was by Col. G. D. Wheeler, of Deposit, Delaware county, who aroused much enthusiasm. Mr. Goodeuough, of Litchfield, Conn, gave a good report from the Nutmeg state, where local organizations are formed and ready to co-operate with those of other states. The Milk Producers' union was formed at Oxford, Chenango county, last March, after the pattern of the New England association, which practically controls the prices of milk in Boston. The constitution provides for local branches of a central union, and the object of the meeting here is to encourage local organizations in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts to unite in one central organization which will be powerful enough to fight the New York Milk Exchange and regulate prices. Farmers in this locality have made many attempts at organization to resist the oppressions of the Milk Exchange, but all efforts have failed. They are now encouraged to believe that the plan of the Milk Producers' union is practicable. No attempt at regulation of prices will be made until localities supplying cities in the five states named have local organizations connected with the union. The delegates are satisfied that good results will follow. Count Dillon, who has taken up a temporary abode in the little town of Lieuze, in Lorraine, has been notified by the German police to quit that place at once, or he will be arrested and expelled from Germany.

"Circumstances are facts, are truths," he said, "and, although the evidence in this case is circumstantial, we propose to show to you beyond all reasonable doubt that Dr. Cronin was murdered, and that these men killed him." Judge Longenecker then reviewed the story of the crime and said he would show it to be the result of a conspiracy, and prove that the accused men were in the conspiracy. To uncover the motive, the state's attorney said he must go into the history of the United Brotherhood or Clan-na-Gael, but the jury were not to consider this organization in its deliberations. The Clan-na-Gael was not on trial. After a brief outline of its history and purpose, the statu' attorney referred to the reduction of tin executive board in 1881 to three member; (Sullivan, Fely and Boland), and said the constitution and oath were changed.

Mr. ThompHoii'H Reply. Mr. Thompson at once sent the following MICHAEL DAVITT SPEAKS. The question of the negro and his standing in the church and the proposed amendment of the constitution touching proportionate representation caused the fight of the day. On the former quest ion there were two reports presented by the committee to whom was referred the memqfial from the colored people asking for fuller recognition. The majority report sal forth that the Scriptures did not recognize any difference in race and color, and such was the attitude of the church. The fact that a colored bishop had been consecrated and that colored delegate* had been received in the house of deputies, making them the peer of every clergyman in the body, showed tb the whole world the position of this church. "Questions of jurisdiction and representation in the several dioceses have, under our constitution, been committed to them, and they art qaoations over which the general convention, as such, htJDno control," the report concludes.

Counsel for the Brush and United States companies appeared in court and complained that the board of electrical control refused to certify to the safety of their wires and that they were losing custom by not being able to supply light, while their competitors were unmolested and were profiting by the situation. They therefore withdrew the stipulation they made some days ago not to use their circuits until certified or until the injunction case was decided. They had been stringing new and perfect wires in place of many old ones and they proposed to use these. Counsel for the city denounced this as a breach of faith, but the companies pointed out that their stipulation had been voluntary and they had a right to withdraw it. The court stated that he could not advise the companies one way or the other. They must act on their own responsibility. This closed the hearing.  The Electric I.lgllt Fight.

The Land league, based on the same patriotic spirit, was fast removing the barriers which prevented Great Britain from giving justice to Ireland. Tfce day was fast approaching when Dublin castle would quietly submit to the fate of the Irish church. Implicit obedience was demanded. "If a member was told to kill a man," said Judge liongenecker, with emphasis, "he had to do it," Mr. Forrest objected to any further allusions to the triangle at this stage of the proceeding, but the court would not interfere.
