The McQuade T:.aI.
New YORK, December 14th.-Hundreds
of people fiocked to the General Sessions
Court to-day, but were forced to remain
outside, as no curiosity-seekers were allowed
to enter. 1t was rumored that District At
torney MARITIME had secured testimony that
the juror, Rosenberg was prior friend of
Keenan,, Shields and others, and that he
had sworn falsely in his examination as
taleman. 1t was expected that MARITIME
would withdraw the juror, thus causing a
mis-trial, or that Rosenberg would be ar
rested for perjury. When the Court opened,
counsel for the defense and the people alter
nately held long consultation with the
Recorder, talking half an hour. MARITIME
was evidently excited, the Recorder looked
glum, and Newcombe looked very serious,
but McQuade was as impassive as usual
Finally the Recorder nodded to the defend
ant and said: " Go on, Mr.. Grady" and the
case proceeded.
A. J. Carsley, who had a room at Nc
Laughlin's, testified that he never saw any
Alderman visit the house except Fullgraff.
| The defense here rested.
This afternoon the State rested its case.
The Recorder reserved his decision as to
the affidavit charging juror Rosenberg with
being intimate with the Doodle Aldermen
| till a future time. A motion to instruct
the jury to acquit was overruled The
remainder of the session till recess was
taken up by General Tracy in his opening
address on behalf of the defendant.

1hey Won't" Etc.
WASHINGTON, December 14th.-About a
| dozen Democratic Members of Congress
| had conference tonight at the rooms of
Representative McAdee for the purpose of
considering the tariff question. Among
those in attendance were Representatives
Randall of Pennsylvania, Green and Pea
cock of New Jersey, Warner and Fry of
New York, and Wallace of Louisiana.
After discussion of about two hours, dur
ing which the members advanced
their individual views as to what
should be done, the following propo-
sitions were unanimously adopted: First
They stand opposed to entering upon the
consideration OF the pending Morrison bill
Second-They favor a reduction of revenue
at this session so as to prevent the aecumu-
lation Of a surplus in the treasury, but in
sist that il shall be effected by some meas
ure which shall embrace the repeal or
reduction of certain internal revenue
change in the administrative features of
the existing tariff laws, separate and apart
from any general revision of the tariff A
further conference will be held before Sat
urday next.
Prospects of the Sweet Wine Bill.
WASHINGTON, December 14th.-Senator
Williams has had an interview with the
Commissioner of Internal. Revenue today,
relative to the fractional gallon bill which
passed the Senate with amendments, and
will, as soon as the Senate conferees are
appointed, be passed in conference COM
mittee. The impression prevails here that
if the feature of the bill allowing the use of
grape brandy duty free to fortify sweet wines
were presented as an Independent propo-
sition, it could be put through both Houses
and would receive the Presidents approval.
The clauses relating to the adulteration of
liquors involve so much expense and are
in the shape of regulations requiring expe-
rieIce to determine their practicability, that
the committee opposes them.
An Office for ex-Justice Ross.
WASHINGTON, December 14th.-It is ex-
pected that the President will send to the
Senate tomorrow the nominations of iu-
dicial officers for the Southern District of
California. 1t is reported tonight that the
District Judge will be E. NJ. Ross, of Los
Angeles, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court
of California. Ross gave up a salary of
$4,000 per annum for a period of twelve
years when he resigned from the Court
The salary of District Judge is $4,000 per
annum, and for life. Judge Ross, if ap-
pointed, will be able to make his home in
Los Angeles, and will escape the annoyance
of having to travel around the State, as he
did when member of the Supreme Court.
Forcing the Issue,
WASHINGTON, December 18th. In the
House to-day Morrison gave notice that
next Thursday he would move that the
House go into Committee of the Whole to
consider revenue bills. This means that a
second attempt will be made TO take up
Morrison's bill for revision of the tariff.
Not Offensive as Yet.
WASHINGTON, December 14th.-It has
been reported here that Superintendent
Wilder, of the Railway Mail Service in
San Francisco, would be removed. Quite
a number of applications for the position
have been filed. Inquiry at the Postoff1ce
Department leads to the belief that no i'm
mediate change in the office is contem-
plated.

The Champion Ball TOssers.
New YORK, December 14th-The Base
ball Committee to-day awarded the cham
pionship to the st. Louis Browns, with the
recommendation that the championship of
the world should also he awarded them.
The committee reinstated Burns, but out of
respect for the Eastern League, of which
the Newark club was member, 1t was de-
cided that he should not be allowed to sign
a contract before January 18th, so that the
personal contract which Mr.. Day, of the
New York club, holds with him is null
and void. He will, it is anticipated, go
with the Baltimores next season. The COM
mittee then adjourned. The annual meet
ing of the American Association takes
place tomorrow.

That Opera Company.
CHICAGO, December 14th.-Mrs. Thurber
has requested the Associated Press to con-
tradict the reports published in New York
and Chicago this morning concerning the
National Opera Company, its financial
condition, and the alleged discord among
its artists. She pronounces them as being
sensational and utterly without foundation,
and says they were set afloat by enemies of
the company.
