EVIDENCE IN REBUTTAL.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 26.-The first witness
| called in the Cronin case this morning on
behalf of the state was Bailey Dawson,
who testified that on May 4, this year, he
was in the Emergency hospital here; that
he never introduced John f. Beggs to
Colonel Babcock, but that on the night of
| the 18th he was present when Mr.. Gleason
did SO. The defense had introduced evil
dence that Beggs was at the Pacific hotel
on the night of May 4, and that he was in
troduced to Colonel Babcock on that occa-
sion.
Colonel A c. Babcock followed as soon
as this witness escaped from the hands OF
Mr.. Foster, who conducted the cross-eX-
animation. and corroborated Mr.. Dawson's
testimony. The cross-examination of this
witness was long and productive of much
amusement to the spectator. He remem-
bered meeting Beggs at the Pacific.
William Niemnan was called on behalf
of the state and testified that he had been
introduced to James Hyland. and that he
was not the man who came into his saloon
Saturday night, May 4, or Sunday night.
May 5, as Hyland swore.
The state next introduced the driver and
the man who rented the carriages to
O'Malley the night of May 4, and these
witnesses cOnCra0lcCtQ announcer DOrGlOn Oh
the testimony of the defense.
Frederick 3. Ebersold, inspector of
police, was then called. He said that
neither Officers Rowan or Grove, whom
he sent out to investigate the Cronin muir
der, ever reported that the milkman,
Mertz, told them that he heard fighting or
scuffllng in the Carlson cottage.
Mrs. Marie Brunz testified that the hus-
band of Caroline Hoertel purchased from
her during the last week in April the lock
which he put on the door to keep his wife
out of the house. This was in contradic-
ton of witness for the defense who said
the lock was purchased after May 4.
At the afternoon session several wit
nesses were examined by defense and pros
ecution in rebuttal. Mr. Forest announc-
ed that he would introduce some rebuttal
testimony at the next session of court to
show the whereabouts of the witness Will
lam Coughlin on the night of May 4. The
court then announced that owing to the
illness of the daughter Of Juror North the
court would adjourn until Friday in order
to allow him to 60 to her bedside.
After the adjournment of court there
WAS consultation between the court and
counsel as to the order of the arguments
to be made before the jury. 1t was finally
decided to leave the matter to the court.
Judge Mcconnell will announce his decis-
ion on Friday morning.

He Was An Odd Genius.

Professor F. V. Hayden was the founder
Of the system which developed into the geo.
logical survey of the United States. lie was
a man of great genius and renowned
scholar, but erratic and peculiar.
1t was not uncommon for strangers to
ton arrested by his bowed figure as ne almost
ran for few stsps-then suddenly stopped,
with his gray, sharp eyes fixed on the pave
ment-then ran again as if sudden thought
had struck him; then they would inquire
"Who can that poor insane man be?"
While Professor Hayden was exploring the
land of the Sioux Indians some years ago he
once, in his enthusiastic passion for geological
research, wandered away from his party; he
had loaded himself down with large speci-
mems of mineral, and while tramping SLOWLY
along in his absent minded way the Indians
captured him. They whooped and yelled at
their prize at first, but upon seeing ell the
''rocks and worthless stones" which the poor
man was staggering under, and his composed,
distracted manner, they decided that he was
afflicted with foolish mind" They took
him without protest on his part which only
confirmed their fears; and after few hours
captivity the old scientist with his rocks'
was led to the nearest point Of civilization
and turned loose lest the Great Spirit should
punish them for any harm done the foolish
or simple minded"
He was daring. fearless and reckless in dan
ger; most distinguished scientific man, and
much beloved by the young men OF his sur
vey.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The MONTANA SQuABBLE.

HELENA, Mont. Nov. 25.-There were
no new developments in the legislative
deadlock today. The committee from the
Republicans called on Governor Toole and
informed him their body was ready for
business. The governor received them
courteously and said that while personally
he was glad to see them, he could not rec
ognize the committee officially, as the body
they represented had not met in the place
designated by him as the legisla-
mittee made it's report it was referred
back to them, and four more members
added, who will make further report to-
morrow.
The Democratic house made its tenn

they represented, but said he would make
no communication to the legislature until

WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE THE FLAG


LONDON, Nov. 26-The flag of the new
Brazilian republic was hoisted for the
first time in English waters yesterday
with result that must have been dis
couraging to the over-zealous officer who
made haste to display his colors in ad
vance of formal recognition of the govern
meut whose emblem WAS thus Haunted.
The occasion of the display was the arrival
at Plymouth of the Brazilian war ship, to
receive which the usual preparations were
made by the British war vessels and forts,
and the customary signal to salute was
awaited from the flag ship of Admiral Sir
William Montagu Dowell. When, however.
the flag of The United States of Brazil
was displayed instead of the expected i'm
perial ensign, Admiral Dowell sent re-
quest to the Brazilian commander TO hoist
the recognized flag of Rrazil, or, at least.
not to run up any other. The Brazilian
captain declined to comply with the re-
quest and the British forts and warships
remained silent. 1t is probable that the
captain Of the Brazilian ship viii make
