A Witness Says 1t was a Gray That Hauled
 Dr. Cronin to His Death.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-In the Cronin trial the defence continued the work of try ing to prove an alibi for the prisoners and also that the white horse of Dinan's s was not the one that carried off pr. Cronin from his rooms on that fatal night.
 Philip Buhdener, of New Jersey, who formerly lived in Chicago, testified that he stood across the street from Dr.. Cronin's office when Dr. Cronin drove away in company with another man.
 He noticed the horse and says it was a gray instead of white horse. He corroborated Frank Scanlan's testimony for the prosecution in all other respects. The cross-eXaminatioh considerable e shook his direct evidence.
 Just before Court opened Judge Me Connel called Judge Longenecker, Mir. Forrest and Mir. Mills to the bench and informed them that he had receiv- ed letter from man who claimed to have seen Dan Coughlin at tho Chicago avenue station about nine o'clock the night of May 4. Mir.

Chsrles Hudson Smith Says He is More
 Fitted for n Worldly Calling.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Rev. c. H. Smith is here in company with Miss Willamette Carlisle, a former inmate of a disreputable house. It was their intention to sail for China to-day, but Smith says his plans have been changed. He says he regrets having returned to Boston after his first visit here and when he left the second time, he said he turned his back on friends and church for good and will no longer be known as Charles Hudson Smith. He intends to leave tho United States but is undecided where he will go. He said he left home because his wife was too spiritual, his mother-in-law unconquered, and he felt that he was fitted for moro worldly calling than that of the ministry.
 The woman, who is pretty Mexican of 20 years, had little to say except that she loved Smith, would marry him, and would go with him to the end of the world. The eX-minister has lavished nearly all his money and jewels on her. He now has about $500, and on this the pair will start off together.
 Chief Crowley says that he does not believe the Rev. c. Hudson Smith to be insane and will not interfere with him unless he is requested to do so by the authorities in Boston.

 League and Home Rulers.
 LONDON, Nov. 22.-Continuing hiH ar gument for the ''Iimes" before the Par nell Commission Sir Henry James de- nounced the National League severely.

THE BASEBALL WAR
The National League Issues an
 Address to the Public.
HOW THE PLAYERS PRoFITED
No Contract Made With the Brotherhood
 Has Ever Been Violated.

The New League Signing Players Very
 Rapidly-Farren Signs With the Chi
 cagos and Madden With the Bostons-
 Shortstop McKean. of Cleveland, Cap
 tured by tho National League.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22.-T The Ma tional Leagues committee to prepare an address to the public has completed it's labors and issued an address review ing the record of the League from it's organization. and stating what it be- lieves to be the causes of all tho trouble with the Brotherhood.
 The address sets forth that for fouF teen years the League has stood spon- sor for honesty and integrity of profes- sional baseball. Now the good name of the organization has been assailed, its motives impugned and it's integrity questioned by some of the very men it has most benefited.
 The National League was organized in 1876 as a necessity, to rescue the game from it's slough of corruption and disgrace, and take 1t from the hands of the ball players, who had controlled and dominated the National Association of professional baseball players for some years.
 EG duuTcSS UAcu BoSS Ou GO Sud bc Gudb no effort was made by the old associa- tion to control it's mem bers. and the re- suit was that contract-breaking, dissi- patton and dishonesty had undermined the game to such an extent that it seemed an almost hopeless task to at
 tempt its rescue.
 Then the address goes on to state how
 the Brotherhood asked and received
 recognition from the League; how they disavowed any intention or claim to in terfere with the business affairs of the l League, the salaries of the players, or | the Preserve rule" simply asking that | the contract be so revised that 1t, in 1 itself, would indicate every relation be- tween club and each individual player. Then tho committee states: ''This 'Brotherhood Contract then ac- cepted and adopted, has never been vio- l lated by the League, either in letter or spirit, and we challenge proof in con tradiction of this declaration" The document further says that dur
 ing the past fve-and only prosperous l years, there have been paid in cash dividends to stockholders in the eight
 League clubs less than $50, 900. and, | during the same time League players | have received in salaries over $1, 300, 900.
 The address is signed by A. G. Spald-
 ing, John B. Day and John l. Rogers.

 CTS, and Is Anxious for a Fight.
 BOSTON, Nov. 2s.-The sporting fra ternity were anxious to hear what John l.. Sullivan would say about the propo- sition from San Francisco for the cham pion to meet Jackson for $1O, 900.
 ''The California Athletic Club know what I offered them" said John, 'and that is just what I will do. l will meet the colored fighter at their club rooms if purse of so, 900 is hung up, and that is my final ans wer.
 II am willing to meet any man they can put against me, but they must carry out the deal about Jackson now, or it will cost them more money when they come to talk it over again"
 What about the chances of Slavtn meeting you?" he was asked.
 ''It's all the same to me as to which of them is set up against me. I have no choice in the matter. All that am looking at is the amount of money that is given,
 colored man, but they seem to think that Jackson is world-beater, and l am anxious to show them just where he belongs
 ''Do you think there is any chance of Kilrain being the one chosen to do bat tie with you ?"
 ''I think it altogether unlikely; but if there is any money behind him he can step into the breach and be the clubs candidate. The talk about a ring fight is simply nonsense, for 1t Is plain to every body that London rule battle is out of the question. "There is no place in the country where the fight could come off, and since the last battle the authorities will be more severe than ever. 1 am open to do business with the California Club, but it must be on the basis have already given"
 "Then you will refuse to go to the Pacific slope unless the purse is made s2O. 1000 p
 That is the price for meeting col ored fighter. 1 will meet any white l man for a s1O,00O purse. but for the other kind I want the full amount"

 PITrsBURG, Pa., Nov. 22.-The Law renee Bank, located at Penn avenue and Butler street, has failed to meet its obligations and has closed it's doors
 The Lawrence bank was organized in 1866 with capital stock of $s0, 900. and was supposed to be one of the most solid in the city.
 All of it's officials and directors are mon of large wealth. Carnegie & Co.,. were the largest depositors. The prin- cipal business of the bank was, how ever, with small depositors.
