oner held an inquest Yesterday on the
body of Mr.. Fleschbein of BellyiiIe.
Illinois, who was killed by HolZhay.
the stage robber. The jury found a
verdict in accordance with the eYid-
ence and recommended that HolZhay be
held to the next term of court. This
will be in October, but complication
has arisen since the inquest. United
States agent Pulsifer arrived here
and claimed the prisoner on behalf of
the United States. His demand was
made on the superstition based on the
prisoners confession, that Holzhay
robbed the United States mail on the
Wisconsin Central railroad. The au-
thorities here viii not listen 70 this
claim. The prosecuting attorney as
serts that he has certain case against
the prisoner and that he can SEND him
down for life on the other hand. It
is said that the killing is only man
slaughter and the punishment is. but
fourteen years.

RIGA 1.-THE Arabs instead of
being pulverized by the anti
slave blockade OF Germany and Eng
land have been goaded into savage bOs-
tility to anything and everything
European andd the slave dealers have
become more aggressive and insolent
than ever. Traffickers in human flesh
still sweep over the populous districts
OF Che lake country and the Congo and
Nile basins and carry off the unarmed
and defenseless inhabitants without
let or hindrance. A large market for
the sale of negroes has been opened on
the coast since the beginning of the
blockade within sight of the bloekad-
ing squadron, where an enormous num-
Der of slaves change hands daily. The
blockadiDg squadrons have failed to
capture any slaves save the $50 cap
tured by the Leipsig and recaptured
by the Arabs. No cOntraband of war
has been seized. In fact the blockade
is an utter fraud.
All of of the newly opened pathways
of commerce across the tropical belt of
the African peninsula have been killed

cial and moral progress has been roll

London UnraYeIed.


CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Immediately up
on the opening of the Cronin trial this
morning discussion upon the proposed
questions to be submitted to the jurors
was resumed. Gentlemen, = said the
court, before the state is allowed to
respond to the propositions that were
submitted by the defense yesterday, I
should like to ask the state now that
these questions only should be per
mitted:
First-Have you formed an opinion
as to whether DIR. Cronin was taken to
the Carlson cottage by the horse and
buggy engaged by Daniel Coughlin
from Oman, the liver yman.
Second-Have YOU an opinion as to
whether or not Martin Burke. one of
the defendants. was the the tenant of
said Carlson cottage?
Third. Have you an opinion that
the SO-called Clan-Na-Gael society is in
any way to blame for the death of DIR.
Cr0nin2
After some discussing Judge MeCon-
mel finally admitted the addition OF
these two questions:
Have you formed an opinion as to
whether the death of DIR. Cronin was
the result of a conspiracy? and
Have you formed an opinion as to
whether any of these defendants was a
member of the said conspiracy
The panel was then called aud tue
lawyers entered upon the long and ar
duous task of selecting jury.

WASHINGTON, ID. C. Sept. 4.-Repre-
sentative Flood of the Elmira IN. 7. J
district threatens to resign his seat in
congress unless the president sees to
it that Corporal Tanner is dismissed
from the pension Office. The trouble,
as usual. is over appointments. The
congressman happened to meet Mr..
Tanner about a month ago and they
had some talk about board Of exam
lining surgeons TO be appointed at FL
mira and Mr.. Tanner asked

so at once as he wanted them to get to

Mr.. Flood read IN his morning paper
the names of new board Of examin-
ing surgeons that had been appointed

Among them was a mugwnmp whom
Mr.. Flood disliked very much, and
who was Objectionable to the republi-
cans of the district. He Was, h0Wev-
eT, friend Of the pension commits
siouer.
The enraged Mr.. Flood went straight
TO the pension Office and expressed his
mind to Mr.. Tanner. A violent scene
took place, IN which 14r. Tanner APP

site and hiRb Y col0red language.

Trouble In a Polish Church.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The trouble III
the Polish Catholic congregation of
the Holy trinity church on Noble
street in this city over the conduct of
the temporal affairs of the parish has
broken out afresh. Two years after
the edifice was erected the trustees
decided the property TO the arch bishop.
Eight months ago. then the realty was
re-insured. the truS ses made the poll
cles payable to themselves. The arch
bishop did not like this and trouble
ensued. The trustees finally refused
to turn the collections and pew rents
over to the pastor. The arch bishop
then issued to Father Kobrezinski
letter instructing him to take complete
charge of both the spiritual and tenn
poral affairs of the congregation. The
priest endeavored to smooth matters
over and succeeded. Everything went
well until a few weeks ago, when the
rebellious few gained the ascendancy.
The pastor read the arch bishops let
ter from the pulpit and a stormy scene
followed. Father KobreZiDSh finally
left the church, fearing personal viO-
lence-> Last Saturday the whole mat
ter was laid before Arch Bishop Fee
ban, when the trustees of the church
were notified to resign their trusts.
This they refused TO do, and the arch
bishop forbade the pastor to celebrate
aught but low masses. Sunday Father
KobreZinski assembled the pulpit and
announced the edict, upon which some
OF the Worshippers began to stamp the
floor with their feet, and others
threw their rituals over their heads
In the midst of all this the pastor be-
gan to say mass. When it became APP
parent that no solemn high mass was
to be celebrated men, women and chill
dren focked down the central aisle of
the church in wild disorder. For a
moment the pastor, undismayed by the
tauntS and threats of his flock contin-
ued his holy Office. When in the mid
die of mass, however, the worshippers
left their seats and scrambled pell-mell
over the sides of the inclosed pews.
Father KobTezinski, fearing mob vio-
lence, rushed from the altar and out
through the parsonage way. He was
secreted for several hours by personal
friends, who feared the excited people
would use him roughly if they laid
hands ON him. It is expected that the
archbishop will deal severely with the
offending Pensioners.

statistics at their meeting this morn
ing. These were furnished by Editor

holding her own. -
How aboue Omaha and Kansas
City?''
.!Oh, the dressed beef industry there
is gaining very rapidly
In reply to further questions the wit
ness said he had no knowledge of a
combination against st. Louis. He
heard, however. that Samuel Allerton

nation a recess was taken till this af-
| ternoon. Before adjourning, however.
Senator Vest stated that the dressed
