ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.;
CHICAGO, November 23.-On the open.
ing of the Cronin trial this morning Attor-
ney Forrest arose and said that he had been
informed that his witness, Thomas Lynch,
was too ill to appear. and that he would
therefore waive Lynch's testimony and rest
his case. Then followed consultation be-
tween the Judge and counsel for both Sides
When the talk was over, the Judge
leaned forward and said that a recess
would be taken till 10 o'clock Monday
morning, and that evidence for the defense
was practically all in, though more could
be introduced on Monday ii it was so de-
sired. If the defense has no more witnesses
the State will at once begin its rebuttal.
Whether or not the defense will have any
more witnesses no one can tell The attor-
neys themselves are in the dark. 1t
is thought, too, however that an
attempt will be made to prove an alIbi for
Kunze, as scarcely anything has been done
for him. Attorney Forrest does not expect
to introduce any more evidence. Forrest
will probably not have any. Wing certainly
will not and Donahue, the only one left,
says he cannot tell.
The feeling around the Criminal Court is
that the evidence so far given is sufficient to
convict all the suspects but Beggs. His
attorneys brought some very strong evidence
from respectable members of Camp 20, and
there is nothing now on which the Senior
Guardian can be held.

BANK BURGLARS HAVE RIGHTS
Which the Law Must ResDecr, According to
Governor Hills Decision.


ALBANY, N. Y, November 23.-A most
interesting hearing was held in the Execu-
tive chamber before Governor Hill on Mon
day last as to whether James Hope, the
noted bank burglar, should be handed over
to the Delaware authorities. Hope was
then under arrest, and in the custody
of Police Inspector Byrnes, of
New York. Mr.. Charles W. Brooke
defended Hope at the hearing, and the bank
buI glar has been in the Tombs in New York
awaiting the decision of Governor Hill.
Governor Hill to-day decided to revoke the
warrant heretofore issued for the arrest of
Hope on a requisition from the Governor of
Delaware for Hopes removal to that State
to serve out an unexpired sentence. 1t ap-
peared that Hope was compulsorily brought
into this State from California on a requisi-
ton issued from this State, and that upon
his release from prison here he was i'm
mediately arrested upon requisition from
Delaware.
Governor Hill has filed an elaborate de-
cision, holding that Hope was entitled to a
reasonable time to return to California after
his release here, and hence that his arrest
was premature. The point of law is an in
teresting one, in regard to which there have
heretofore been many conflicting decisions.
Hope is now in custody in the city of New
York, and under Governor Hills decision
he must be discharged and given an oppor-
tunity to return to California if he so de-,
sires.

FORMAL RECOGNITION
OF the New Republic Requested by the
Brazilian Minister.

OF the New Republic Requested by the
Brazilian Minister.
WASHINGTON, November 23.-Dr. Val
ente, the Brazilian Minister, to-day re-
ceived cablegram from Rio Janeiro stating
that United States Minister Adams had es-
tablished relations with the Government
now in control of affairs in that
country. This information he COM
municated to the State Department,
and it is reported that he urged upon the
Secretary the expediency of this Govern
ment instructing Minister Adams to COM
plete the act of formal recognition. While
it is doubtless felt by the State Department
that the United States of Brazil has been
established upon a permanent basis, it is
probable that the act Of formally recognizing
through our Minister will be postponed
until there is an official head or chief execu-
tive chosen in pursuance of some regular
method.
A meeting of Congress in Brazil has been
called for next month, when the new Repub-
lie will probably be launched with COM
plete organization. When that is accom-
plished, the question of formal recognition
BY this Government will probably not be
DELAYED,

The gala dresses are not little startling.
Here is dignifed old gentleman arrayed in
a secondhand tunic of a marine, in much
the same plight as to buttons as its owner as
to teeth; near him stands a fine young
village policeman, VIII ose official gravity
is not enhanced by the swallow
tailed coat of a niger minstrel;
while the background is taken up by
a bevy of village maidens clad in gorgeous
velvet pinafores. who are giggling after the
manner of their white sisters until they are
fixed by the stern gray eye of the chief
policeman, which turns their expression
into one of that pret ernatural solemnity
they wear in church. The Court House,
native building carpeted with mats, is now
packed with natives, sitting cross-legged,
only a small place being reserved in front
of the table for the accused and witnesses.
The magistrate takes his seat, and his
scribe, sitting on the floor at his side, pre-
pares his writing materials to record the
sentences. The dignity with which the old
gentleman adjusts his shirt collar and clears
his throat is a little marred when he pro-
duces from his bosom what should have been

gland, it provokes no smile here.

JOKING With SEA-GULLS.
How Jolly Tnrs Amuse Themselves nc the
Expense of the Birds.


Expense of the Birds.
Ocean.1
Sea birds are always interesting objects to
voyagers. They follow q vessel sometimes
all the way across, ever restless and untir-
ing. The gulls particularly, with their
long, swift wings, realize the highest powers
of endurance, and fly with ease against the
severest storms. Some say that these birds
never visit the earth except to deposit
their eggs; otherwise they 1--we constantly
between the sea and the sky. In fine
weather they fly high in the air, descending
with great rapidity to seize the fishes on the
surface of the water. The symmetry and
strength of the gulls are remarkable, show
ing how nature has adapted them in every
particular for the purpose of long flight.
Their pectoral, or breast muscles, are one
solid mass of firm, hard muscle, and
their bones are hollow, having no marrow
in them. Sleep is not necessary to them;
or, rather, they rest upon their wings and
allow themselves to be Graded by the
breezes, whose violence neither worries nor
frightens them. On the other hand, they
seem to feel q fierce delight in the fury of
the storm which, convulsing the waves,
brings up the dead fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing of joke
upon the gulls, which are always lowering
about the ships. They take three or four
pieces of sail vine, about six feet in length;
these are tied together IN the middle, and to
the end of each a small piece of blubber or
fat is attached tightly and then thrown into
the sea. A gull comes along and
swallows one piece; another then sees
there is plenty to spare, and swal-
lows the next; perhaps third bird takes
possession of another; but as they are all
attached to the sail yarns, whenever they
try to fly away one or the other is compelled
to disgorge his share, and this is continued
to the tantalizing suspense of the poor gulls
and the great fun of the passengers and

tBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.I
LONDON, November 23.-England is
under cloud of scandal, already briefly
alluded to in these columns, that is now Ger
tain to burst and involve honored names in
disgrace-perhaps even greater than the
recent modern Babylon disclosures
brought upon the families of the partici-
pants in those crimes. Although every
possible influence has been brought to bear to
keep the loathsome story quiet, ii is to-day
on the tongues of everybody, and is only
kept out OF the newspapers through the
severe and unjust libel laws that han per the
English press. But even this safeguard for
the guilty will not avail when Parliament
meets, for Labouehere and other enemes of
hereditary aristocracy have obtained the de-
tails of the scandal and will insist upon an
investigation. 1t may even come out before
then, since the Earl of Euston, whose name
has been mentioned in connection with this
case, to-day swore out a warrant against the
editor OF the North London Press, who is
also leader writer on the Star, charging
him with criminal libel in publishing arti-
cles charging Euston with being corcerned
in the scandal.
Whether this is a bluff on customs
part, or whether he believes be can clear
himself and does not care what becomes of
the others implicated, remains to be seen.
Ernest Parke, the editor in question, is
hard working-journalist who has the respect
OF his associates, as well for character as for
ability.

which was sunk early Wednesday by the
coal schooner Agnes Manning, about two
miles off Fenwlck's Island lightship.
reached New York this morning. Two
officers and ten men, bringing with them the

Henry Roman, coal pasSer; james Rider,
colored, waiter; Joseph Davis, colored, pas

Captain Jenney said to-day that there was
little chance that the missing men had been
rescued. He is convinced that only one
boat and one life raft hoated from the Man
haitian when she went down. Chief En-

CLEVELAND, November 23.-The COM

Company, Messrs. John w. Gates, of St.
Louis, and George W. Douglass, of New
York, are still at the Weddell House and
appear to be in no haste to leave
Cleveland. At the coming election of the
officers, which will probably be held in
Chicago next week, Mr.. Gates will be
chosen President of the new company, and
Mr.. Oliver, of Pittsburg, Vioe President
1t is probable that Mr.. Douglass will be
elected Secretary. Thus the three promoters
of the consolidation, who have labored early
and late since last March to effect the COM
bination, will be well provided for.
Mr.. Douglass SAID this evening that the
only important development of the day was
that the Gulf Wire Company, of St. Louis,
had consented to cast their lot with the con-
solidation. The Gulf Company, he said,
was rapidly coming to the front as a barbed
wire producer in the South, and its future
success was most promising. Mr.. Douglass
thought that, without a doubt, the Gulf
Works would remain in operation after its
ABSORPTION.

Heavy Financial Loss.
BUTTE, MONT, November pa fearful
disaster occurred in the Anaconda mines
to-day. Flames were discovered by Neal
McCabe, a miner working on the 50O-foot
level of the st. Lawrence mine, in cross
cut and after an unsuccessful attempt to
suppress the apparently small fire
with his coat he got help and
the men tried to drown out the flames. They
were soon driven out of the mine by heat
and smoke, and as the fire occurred at
o'clock in the morning, between change of
shifts, only few were down, all of whom
got out safe.
There was a quantity of powder in the
lower levels and to save the mine from dis
aster by its explosion several men volun-
teered to remove it. A current of air from
the St. Lawrence to the Anaconda sucked
the workings of the former clear of smoke
while carrying the fire to the Anaconda. The
Anaconda consists almost entirely of tim
bers above the 500-foot level, and the result
of the burning of these timbers will be a
cave-in of disastrous proportions. AL
though the presence OF large
amount of carbonic acid gas made
it very dangerous the men willingly volun-
teered to take the risk. Two trips were
made successfully but the third was fatal in
two cases. Keller, brakeman, was over
come on the cage coming up and fell
back into. the shaft. John Lyons
was also overcome and fell on the cage
his head striking the timbers when near the
top, and fracturing the skull. Pat Murphy
and Henry Page were overpowered at the
8OO-foot level. Other men went down to
save them, but had to leave them, having a
narrow escape themselves from sufocation.
The latest report is that there are nine
men belonging to the mine unaccounted for,
and they are undoubtedly dead by this
time. Incendiarism or carelessness are the
two causes assigned for the fire.;
= The Anaconda Mines constitute the great
est system of copper mines in the world and
the capital is estimated at $40, 900, 900.

HARTFORD, CONN, November 23.-In
the early part of this week Captain Leach,
of Putnam, was assaulted by Frank Merrill.
Leach was coming out of a store when Mer-
riIl fell upon him and beat him
almost into insensibilitv. Behind the
assault lies very unique story.
Some months ago Officer Arnold, of Putnam,
was called upon to arrest a tramp, who
was going through Putnam, begging from
house to house. He appeared against him
in court, and the follow was sent to Jail.
1t subsequently turned out that the
tramp" was respectable citizen of Newark,
n. j., who in some way not explained, hap
pened to be in temporarily destitute
circumstances in Putnam. He and his
friends felt indignant at the treat
ment he had received, and seemed
to consider Officer Arnold the cause of it.
They accordingly hired Frank Merrill, a
professional prize fighter, well known in
Newark, to 60 to Putnam and "do up"
Arnold when he found favorable opportu-
nifty.
Merrill went to Putnam and entered the
employ OF the New York and New England
Railroad He waited some time before he
found the chance to make the at

him that Officer Arnold was in certain

is Arnold, was. The stranger thought that
Merrill referred to Leach, and said: "Yes,
here he comes now"
Merrill, supposing Leach was Arnold, be-
gan to beat him and abused him fearfully
before the amazed bystanders interfered.
Merrill was arrested and is now in Jail.
Leach is confined to his bed.

NEW YORK, November 23.-Major Cen
eral o. o. Howard, of the United States
Army, at meeting of the Military Service
Institute held this afternoon in Military
Hall, on Governors Island, read paper on
THE Military and Naval Pensions of the
United States" General Howard said that
the first pension ever granted was when
Congress, in 1776, acting under recommen-
alton made by Washington, passed joint
resolution to secure a fair pension to all
those of the late war. 1t was not until 1873
that Congress granted service pensions; all
those prior to that date being given for dis
ability. Up to 1888 the total number OF
Revolutionary pensions of all kinds was
62,O and these had cost the Government
in round figures $3S, 800, 900. AS to the
War of 1872 the speaker said the
total number of benefciaries
up to June, 1888, were 60,670,
and the amount paid $50, $40. .256. In 1916
the navy and militia were included, and
reaped the same benefit as the army. 10
the veterans of the Mexican War and their
families the same pension service was
granted as in the War of 1872, and "a, ,724
claims were allowed at a cost to the Gov
ernment of about S13, ,0OO,0 900.
In 1862 Congress passed a bill to give to
all those in the army and navy of the
United States pension upon the same con-
ditions granted to the regular army. Thus
the resulting roll of pensioners was very
large, numbering OPS and costing the
Government over 81, ,OOO, ,OO0,00O The Gen
eral advised the appointment of special
commission of seven to revise all pension
legislation. At present the people were not
considered 1t right to begin the payment of
such pension in 1895, which would be 30
years after the close of the war. General
Howard said that in granting the pensions
he thought it would be expedient to examine
each claim and suspend payment until such
an inspection was completed.

COLUMBUS, o., November Ex-Governor
Foraker said to-day he did not believe there
was anything in the scheme reported from
Hamilton, in which the brother-in-law Of
ex-President Cleveland is said to have been
trying to make arrangements for Cleve-
land and Campbell ticket in 1892. The
thing, he thought to be preposterous on its
face, and he gives Mr.. Cleveland the credit
of too much sense to do business that way.
Foraker says Allen o. Myers is the man to
go to the United States Senate, and he
hopes he will get there. He thinks Myers
would make things decidedly interesting.
Governor-elect Campbell has been commu-
nicated with and states that the visit of Mr..
Bacon was of purely social character, and
that the subject of Presidential nominations
was not mentioned between them.
Outside the scramble for minor offices
under GoVernor-elect Campbell, there has
been little during this week to vary the
monotony in a political way. The visit of
Hon. Calvin S. Brice caused somewhat of a
furry among visiting statesmen here, but
Mr.. Brice's sudden departure for the East
left sort of mystery about the Senatorial
situation. Mr.. Brice and Mr.. Thomas, of
Springfield, are the only ones who have
been doing active work in the past few days.
Thomas is going over the State from place
to place, making personal appeals to mem
bers of the Legislature. The success with
which he is meeting can only be guessed at
from general expressions which have been
heard on the part of Democrats. Some of
Brice's friends who have been over the
State came in to-day, and reported that
Thomas is practically out of the race, and
that he has received nothing that would be
considered encouraging by politician.
Prominent Democrats who are not par
ticularly interested in any one candidate
express the opinion that there will be no
contest when the time comes to select Sen
ator. The sentiment in favor of Brice has
grown SO steadily that he is substantially
without opposition. One Democrat, who
knows what he is talking about, says Brice
could have been elected without coming
into the State. The friends of the National
Chairman say John A. Mcmahon, of Day
ton, is the only candidate who can be con-
sidered in the light of opposition to Brlce.
Mr.. BrIce left word that he would return
to Ohio after Thanksgiving and look after
his Senatorial chances.
