Miss Kate Drcxel will Leave the Sisters
 of Mercy.
 PITTSBURG, Nov. 15.-It has been au- thoritatively announced here that Miss kate DreXcl, known in religion as Sis ter Catharine, will not remain in the Order of Mercy.
 She is merely making her novitiate in that order so that she may become a nun and found a new order
 The SiStcrhOod she will establish, it is said. will be distinctly American, and it will have for it's object missionary dians.
 Miss Drcxel, it is said, will build a house for the proposed order somewhere in the See of Omaha, Bishop O'Connor's s diocese, and will ondow 1t handsomely out of her private fortune.

THE SUSPECTS DAY
Lawyers for the Defense in the
 Cronin Trial Very Busy.
CHANGE IN THEIR PROGRAMME
The Closing Evidence for the State Upset
 Their Plans.

Mrs. Hoertels Testimony Spoiled the
 Scheme for Claiming it was Not Cronin'n
 Body-The Prisoners Will Stick to Their
 Original stories-Iditor Clancy Testifies
 Against O'Sulivan.
 CHICAGO, Nov. t5.-This was a busy day for lawyers on both sides. Those who are defending the five accused men have had their hands full in getting ready for the presentation of their side. They were surprised by the strength of the States case against Burke, O'Sulli- van and Coughlin.
 The finding of Dr. Cronin's clothes and professional effects in the Evanston avenue sewer has upset all their plans to contest the identification of the body. Mrs Hoertel's story locating the mur- dcrcd man at the Carlson cottage about the time he would have arrived there from his home is a strong link in the chain of evidence, and the effect of which on the jury it will be hard for the defense to overcome.
 J. J. Clancy, a newspaper man from New York, testified briefly to an inter- view he had with O'Sulliyan shortly after Dr. Cronin's body was found in which O'Sullivan denied all connection with the Clan-na-Gael, acquaintance with Dan Coughlin and Alexander Sullivan, and a great many other ma terial facts that have since came out in evidence.
 What the Defence will Try to Prove.
 It is settled that the suspects will all stick to the stories they have told from the beginning. Detective Dan Cough lin will attempt to prove that it was not Dinan's white horse that drove Dr. Cronin to his death. It is said that Mr. Forrest has two witnesses who will swear that they saw pr. Cronin near Lincoln Park, on the evening of May 1, These two witnesses will testify it is said, that they bowed to Cronin and that he re turned the SalutatiOn.
 The ice man, OSullivan, will show by seven witnesses that he was not away from his house on the night of May 4th after o'clock. It is alleged that five of his men came home at 9 o'clock and that Sullivan got up and let them in.
 Martin Burke, the chief conspirator, will try to provo that when arrested at Winnipeg he was on his way to Eng land to do ''actiye work for the Clan na-Gacl. That was the reason he as sumcd the name of w. J. Cooper. His flight from Chicago will also be ac- counted for in Q very plausible manner. He hired the Carlson Cottage for Pat rick Cooncy, not knowing what 1t was to be used for. He will prove by sev- eTal witnesses that he was in tho town Of Lake on the night of the murder. kunze will deny everything and offer in evidence the time book of the man he worked for on Cottage Grove avenue. It is said that the book shows that kunZe worked until o'clock, May f.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Biggar Objects to Examining tho Bank
 Account of the League.

Account of the League.
 LONDON, Nov. 15.-It is stated that Sir James Hannen will decline to ac- cept the peerage which it is understood that Lord Salisbury will offer him for his services to the Conservative party in his conduct of the ''Iimes case against Mir. Parnell.
 His reason for this is that his eleva- tion to the pcerage would injure the prospects of his oldest son, James Ghitty Hannen, who is a registrar i'll the Probate Court, of which Sir James him self is president.
 Sir Henry James is suffering from a cold and is quite hoarse, but it is not likely that he will ask the Court to ad- journ on his account.
 A proposition to introduce the testi- mony of the cashier of the National Bank with regard to the accounts of the National League, was objected to by MT. Biggar on the ground that any statement about the personal accounts of members of the League was irre1e- want. Judge Hannen suggested that Mir. Bigger be present when the ''Times'' examined the accounts in ordor to pre- vent any trespassing on private busi- ness. Sir Henry James then resumed his address,

Representative.
 LONDON, Nov. 15.-General Simmons, who goes to Rome extensively to oon- fer with the Vatican authorities, with regard to the status of the Catholics of Malta. is expected to arrive at the Ital- ian capital tomorrow.
 The character of his mission is mistrusted by the Nationalists here, who are naturally suspicious of the sudden anxiety evinced by the Pope to please England, and his move ment will be watched as closely as the peculiar surroundings of the Vatican will permit
 If it shall turn out that the visit is really made with the object stated and not for the purpose of endeavoring to persuade His Holiness to still further turn his face against the aspirations of the Home Rule element in lrelanS, the discovery will occasion as much sur prise as qualification among the Nation aliSt leaders,
