Dodson, clerk of the American Hotel, testified to opening, reading and then tearing to pieces 8 note that he had subsequently, gathered to- gether and given to the detectives. A note had been brought down from room No. 21 and handed to negro messenger who after find the gentleman. William Hunt, the col ored office boy at the hotel, corroborated Dodson's testimony concerning the note.

The HouIihan-Xflls Mill Another EfRseo.

HARTFORD, May 2o.--The Houlihan- -Zills alleged mill proved another fasco. About one hundred tickets were sold at twenty-five cents each. Both men appeared in the hall, but had made no preparations for mill. One of their heelers announced that the po- lice commissioners refused to allow the amusement committee to grant 8 license. As neither officials have any connection with the other, and as the amusement committee is the superior body, the excuse was not gra- ciously accepted.

The Jury In The Cooper Case
 Reach A Verdict Without Leaving
 Their Seats.
 BALTIMORE, Md, May 2O.-The trial of Howard Cooper (colered) for feloaiously as- saulting Miss Kate Gray in Baltimore county some time ago began to-day. Fearing an attempt to lynch him on his way to the court house Cooper was taken from jail to court early this morning. At 10 o'clock it was discovered that the court house was sur rounded by Baltimore county people await ing Cooper's arrival and when they learned that he was safely inside their indig- nation was boundless Cooper was guarded When Miss Kate Gray was placed on the stand, there was a sensation. She is very pretty girl about twenty years old. She told her story amid tears and sobs and moved the jury greatly. She described the spot where the assault was made upon her as lonely, gloomy place between her fathers home and the railway station to which place she had accompanied her sister Sallie On the way back she met Cooper, spoke to him and passed on She then told how Cooper followed and beat her with club. She was freed from the villains grasp only by the appearance of her faithful dog Blanco.
 The next witness called was the father of the young lady. His testimony was as to how he adfonnd his daughter lying on the porch with blood pouring from her wounds. Dr. H. Lewis Naylor testified that upon ex- animation he found many bruises upon Miss Gray's face and her whole body bore marks of violence. He found injuries that indispu- tably established the essential element of criminal assault, but not complete accom- plishment of the brute's purpose.
 The defense offered no evidence. The ar guments on both sides were very brief. The case was given to the jury at p. m. They rendered verdict of guilty without leaving the box. The prisoner shouted out, ''Your honor, am guilty, but only of beating" The verdict was secured with manifestations of delight. Counsel for defense took an ap- peal, on account of which sentence was de- ferred. Rape is 8 capital crime in Maryland and Cooper will therefore be hanged.

THE IRISH BISHOPS AT ROME. They Create An UnfaYorable Kmpres'
 sion At The Vatican.

LONDON, May 2O.-The Irish bishops have concluded their conference with the cardinals at Rome The Pope will receive the bishops in body sometime during the present week. The bishops depart for home during Whit suntide. There can hardly be doubt that they have created an unfavorable impre ssion at the Vatican by their open opposition to MT. Erringtons being officially accredited to represent England at the Vatican Mir. Gladstone is understood to be very anxious to establish friendly relations with the Vatican on some such basis as that es- tablished in Germany. It is also understood that the Pope is in full accord with the Brit ish Premier on the subject, and MT. Err rington has proved eminently agreeable to both parties, the holy see, it is said looked upon the action of the Irish bishops as not only unreasonable but impertinent.

The same meter exploded twelve years ago, kill ing one man.
 PARNELL SCORES A POINT. Gladstone Forced To Back Down On
 The Irish Land Act.
 LONDON, May 2O.-The public are sur prised at MT. Gladstone's sudden change of front in introducing an amendment to the purchase clauses of the Irish land act, where as he stated last night in announcing the governments programme that it had been impossible to consider this question during the present session. There is little doubt that the change was brought about by MT. Parnells threat to obstruct business and pro- long the session. Mr. Parnel1 is clearly mas ter of the situation and so the Liberals got up memorial praying the government to reconsider their decision This memorial signed by fifty of the leading Liberals in the House of Commons offered sufficient excuse to MT. Gladstone for a change of mind.
 At dinner of the St. Stephens club (Conservative) this evening Lord Randolph Churchill in speech condemning the gov ernment asserted that the decision to renew the crimes act proved the failure of the Cabi- nets Irish policy, while it's foreign policy was too plainly ruinous to need comment.
