TRIAL OF MRS. FLEMING. It Develop* Into a Hitter Fight Iletwroii Opposing Counsel. New York, .June 9.—The trial of Mrs. Alice Fleming* for the murder by poison of her mother, Mrs. Bliss, vvliich is now iu its fiftli week, has tie- j veloped into a bitter fight between lawyers for the prosecution and do- : fense, or, more properly, between Law yer Brooke, senior counsel for the de fendant, and Dr. O'Sullivan, special counsel for the prosecution. The greatest excitement occurred while Dr. Scheele. expert witness for the people, was on the stand. Mr. Brooke asked the witness if he had not on several occasions said that he had made a mis take in previous cases by being on the side of the defense; that Mrs. Fleming : must die, whether she is guilty or not, , and that her conviction was necessary 1 to save his reputation. Once or twice Dr. O'Sullivan considered Mr. Brooke's questions as insinuating that he, him self, had connived with Scheele and, livid with rage, he almost gave the di- j rect lie to his former partner, and as serted that brewers were in a conspir- j acy to ruin him and Chemist Scheele. ! The recorder has been compelled re- | peatedly to call the opposiug counsel to order on account of heated person- ' alities indulged in. CAPITOL FRIEZE.

DEFICIENCY PASSED LAST EVENING Adjournment May He Reached To-morrow, Hut the Relief In That the Session Will Continue Through out the Week. Washington, June 9.—lt is not be lieved this morning that congress can reach final adjournment by to-inorrow and it may continue in session through out the balance of this week. There are still three general appropriation bilis before the senate, the District of Columbia, naval and sundry civil. The new general deficiency bill was passed last evening in less than three-quarters of an hour. Ordinarily a bill of 130 printed pages would have taxed the powers of the reading clerk for at least two hours, but the reading of this bill was completed in half an hour. An attempt was made by Mr. Harris, dciu., | Tenn., to have the claims under the Bowman act, aggregating about half a ' million dollars, placed iu the bill, but ! they were ruled out on a point of order ' and the bill was promptly passed. The | immigration bill was taken up and Mr. I Morgan, dem., Ala., made another long 1 speech on the question of the war in ; Cuba. Alluding to a newspaper state- j ment that he had on the iloor of the ' senate made hard and unpleasant re- i marks as to the queen regent of Spain, Mr. Morgan said that he had on that occasion referred to the queen regent merely in connection with her speech from the throne in which she claimed ! that the president of the United States ! was in controversy with congress and in controversy with the people as to 1 their sentiments about Cuba. Eulogized Queen Regent of Spain. Those who knew anything of that lady—he did not know her personally I —said that she was a woman of almost unexampled virtue and of very high character. While she had perhaps less to do with the government of Spain than Queen Victoria lias with the government of Great Britain, she was entitled, by virtue of the regency of her womanhood, to the utmost re spect; and so every senator spoke of her. If the queen of Great Britain, the queen regent of Spain, the queen of Greece and the empress of Germany were to meet in the island of Cuba and were they to witness some of the things done there in the name of Spain upon innocent women and children, who were shot to deatli by a brutally sol diery, those great and noble women would rise in their majesty and would strike to death the power which enabled a brute like Weyler to iullict such wrongs. "Would to God," Mr. Morgan exclaimed, "that the queen of Spain were there to see these things. The delicacy of her nature would not permit the infliction of such brutali ties upon women and children. But we are to stand by, according to the ! president's theory, idle and mute, and are to witness the continued repetition lof these brutal act? in that island. I wish the noble women wore there to j see them. They would lay their hands i on the arm of the brutal soldier who now wields the sword of Spain there, and would tell him in the name of God i and humanity to forbear his inhuman ; deeds." IIOUHO of Representatives. I The house did not adjourn last even ing, but took a recess uutil 10 o'clock to-day, and it is understood that uo adjournment will be taken until the i final close of the session. In order to I maintain the presence of a quorum, resolutions offered by Mr. Dingley, I rep., Me., revoking all leaves of ab sence except those granted on account i of illness and directing the sergeant ; at-arms to telegraph other absent i members that their presence hero is necessary to the transaction of the public business were adopted. In this j connection the house heard with ap -1 plause the message announcing that the senate had passed without aineud j inent the general deficiency bill which I the house passed Saturday afternoon. ' Twice Mr. Daniel, rep., N. Y., en deavored to bring up for consideration the report of elections committee No. j 1 on the contested election case of Truman 11. Aldrich, rep., vs. Oscar W. . Underwood, dem., from the ninth Alabama district. The first time the house refused—o4 to 33 —to enter upon j its consideration. The- vote on the ! second motion had not been announced j when recess was taken. CabincC Troubled at Koine.

Washington, June 9.—The nuval conferees have agreed finally on the battleships in the naval bill.

State Convention at Hartford To-morrow Promises To He Largely Attended. llnrtford, June 9. —From returns re ceived by the state committee from town caucuses the indications are that the state convention to-morrow will be larger than any held in many years. For several days there have been con sultations among democratic leaders of this city and neighborhood, it is said, on the subject of introducing iu the state convention a resolution or dering the Connecticut delegation at Chicago to withdraw from the national convention if a free-silver platform is adopted. It was argued by some of the leaders that such an instruction might be a warning to check the free silver leaders in the west and at the same time strengthen the gold senti ment in the party in the east. As against that it was urged by other leaders that the delegates are simply agents to report to their principals, who can then determine whether the emergency of the part}' is such as to justify a new state convention and ac tion for a democratic sound money presidential ticket, to be supported by Connecticut democrats. BALTIMORE DEMOCRATS. They Kndorse Cleveland's Administration and Declare for Sound Money. Baltimore, June 9.—Democratic pri maries for the election of delegates to the three legislative district conven tions were held in this city yesterday. The regular organization selected the delegates without opposition to speak of, and will control the Baltimore rep resentation in the state convention to morrow. Aside from the selection of sixteen delegates to the democratic national convention and the adoption of a sound money platform, nothing else will be done by the state conven tion. Baltimore county democrats also held tiieir convention yesterday. A resolution was unanimously adopted endorsing President Cleveland in his views on the money question and pledging itself to a sound money cur rency. The president's name was cheered. Commuted to Life Imprisonment. Albany, June 9. —Gov. Morton has commuted to imprisonment for life the sentence of Tuefil Tuezkcwitz who was convicted in New York in March, 1895, of murder for killing Adolph Bulansie fer.

Another Victory for the Meteor. London, June 9.—The Royal Cinque Ports Yueht regatta was held here yes terday and Emperor William's new cutter Meteor again won.
