Chinese New Year.

This is the first day of the Chinese
new year, and the Mongolians are prob
ably feeling very seedy, for they saw
their old year out last night with befit-
ting ceremonies. A banquet, served at
5 80, commenced the festivities, and was
mammoth affair, every queue-bearer
in the city that could possibly manage
it being present. Invocations to the
Joss, faAowed, and as the hour of mid
night approached the firing of crackers
and the beating of tom toms
showed =. that the festivities were
at their height. The whole quarter
was ablaze until an early hour this
morning, when the revelers disappeared
within their shanties, presumably to fin
kfM UP their orgies with pipe OF opium.
te-will be no procession this year, as
|There was last, for it is only once in
every three years that they have what
they call fair, which lasts for seven

TAKING TESTIAONY.
No Testimony of Importance in the Cele-

No Testimony of Importance in the Cele-
| brated Cronin Case. "
CHICAGO, Oct 31.-Proceedings in the
trial in the Cronin case this morning were
uninteresting. Two witnesses testified to
hearing Defendant Coughlin say, "There is
Catholic on the North side who will get
done up il he don't keep his mouth shut"
Furniture Salesman Hatfield retold the
story OF selling the furniture to J. B.
Simonds, which was subsequently found in
the Carlson cottage. The chief point OF
interest developed was that the furniture
was in common use and there were no
marks on it to perfectly establish it's
identity. Hatfield also identified the trunk
in which Cronin's body was carried away
as identical in appearance with that sold
to SimoDds. --.'.
When court resumed it's session the jury
wss excluded while the matter OF striking
out McGarry's evidence was discussed.
The court finally decided to exclude all of
the talks in regard to the former attack on
CrOnin. This was not satisfactory to the
defense, but after some talk the trial Was
resum6u. .--. ..5.
John w. Samson testified that about
two years ago Coughlin tried to hire him to
slug D. Cronin. i
On cross.examination Sampson .ad
mtted that Coughlin had arrested him
three aid four times, once for robbery,
that he had ben convicted OF passing
counterfeit money, that he is gambler by
profession. AK
Joseph O'Keefe, Cronin's tailor. said he
attended the meeting OF Camp 20 in Sep
teber, 1888, aud after it had converse
tion with Beggs about Cronin and Alex
ander Sullivan. Beggs had displayed an
aversion to Cronin and said the latter was
not a proper man to put on the trial COM
mittee to try Alexander Sullivan. He OBJ
iected to Cronin particularly because the
doctor was an enemy of Sullivan,s.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Michael Davitt con-

They disappeared during the confusion
consequent upon the suspension OF the
league, but those OF the league books which
have been produced revealed nothing un.
constitutional. He denounced the pubsica.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Commissioner OF

high schools are to take rank in the equip
ment and character OF the works with the
similar inst tutioEs for white people. The

twenty five grammarbchools, fifty primary
or home schools and enough day or camp
schools to lead all who cannot be brought
