THE JURY BRIBERs.
Six Indictments Returned by the
Special Grand jury.

Six indictments Returned by the
Special Grand Jury.
Earlier dispatches giving the details
of the conspiracy to pack the Cronin
jury will be found on page s.-ED.I
CHICAGO. October 2-According to a
statement by Lawyer Mills it was Bailiff
Solomon who first attempted to bride a
citizen (Tschappet), who was afterward
to be summoned as juror, Solomon
also is the man whose confession was OBJ
tanned. Solomon turned over to the
States Attorney list OF names and ad.
dresses said to be prospective corrupt
jurors. Only two of the list had yet
been summoned and neither was yet
examined. Solomon said the list had
been furnished him by Bailiff Hanks,
while they were seated in the court
room just behind the Cronin suspects.
Hanks had said $1,000 would be given
for fixed jurors, half to the man in the
box and half to the bsiliffs.
Last night, Mr.. Mills narrative con.
tinued, the men on the list were inter-
viewed by the Chief of Police. One man
stated that hs had been approached with
an offer of 50 900 to 60 on the jury by
Fred w. Smith, a hardware manufac-
turer's agent. Another citizen was
also similarly approached by citizen.
ODonnell's part as told by Mr.. Mills,
was similar to that of Smith. He sounded
at least one man and offered him 81 900.
|O'Donnell, who was arrested early in the
evening, is said to have confessed that q
person, understood to be Kavanaugh,
guaranteed that the money offered would
be forthcoming. The supposed corrupted
veniremen were carefully instructed as
to their manner while being examined in
court, being told how they should
answer, and to be gruff with the lawyers
for the defense.
The official list of indictments given
out about 1880 pm. contained
six names-Hanks, Solomon, Smith
Kavansgh, O'Donnell and Joseph
Kohn. The latter is q fruit dealer,
who, it is said, was to 60 on the
jury and get 81 900 from Hanks.
The reported indictment and arrest of
Clerk Sennott, of the Probate Court,
turns out to be canard.
LATER 1t was about midnight when
the special Grand Jury adjourned. Their
report was short and formal in character,
except for an intimation that the jurors
believed the plot to be more widespread
than was indicated by the six indict-
ments returned. All the indicted per.
sons spent the night in the County Jail.

WASHINGTON, October 12.-William
Cramp, of the Philadelphia ship building
firm, had another consultation with the
Secretary Of the Navy today, respecting
the proposed additional trial of the
cruiser Baltimore in order to develop the
contract horse. power. The vessel was
put into the dock by the contractors to-
day for the purpose of changing the
pitch Of the propeller from 20 to 2O1s
feet. The result of such change, the en-
gineers say, would be to reduce the rev.
olutions of the propeller, thereby enab-
ling the boilers to keep up the steam
pressure to the full limit, and conee-
quently show increased horsepower.
The principal difference between the
Secretary and contractors, it is said, is
the payment for the test. The cost Of
the trial is an important matter. By the
terms of the contract the builders may
have as many trials as they please, in the
discretion of the Secretary of the Navy,
but the Government is bound to pay
for only one. The trial recently had
is satisfactory to the navy officials
but the contractors believe that they
can make much better showing. 1t is
understood that no formal request for a
second trial has been preferred by the
Cramps, but they desire one ordered by
the Department.
The Union iron Works Com pany. oi
San Francisco, builders of the Charles.
ton, have asked the Department if there
is any question OF the acceptance of the
vessel under her recent trial, they may
be allowed to put in smaller
propeller than the one with which
the test was made. The boile,
capacity of the vessel is greater than the
present propeller could exhaust, and
with smaller screw the builders be.
lieve the full contract horsepower,
1000, could be developed. In this case,
as with3:he Baltimore, the Department
officials are satisfied with the results Of
the trial already had, but final action
has not been determined upon with re-
spect to either vessel.

Bulgaria and aid the other great powers
in affecting a permanent peace pro-

INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LAWS.
Herr Sisveking, President of the Han
seattle Court of Hamburg, and noted
authority on maritime law, will be the
leading German delegate to the WASH

structed to ask the Congress- to extend it's
programme beyond technical questions
and consider general international mari
time laws, with view to the acceptance
of principles regulating the settlement of
disputes like the Boring sea fishery
trouble. If the conference adheres to
the present limits OF the programme,
Herr Sieveking will propose a special
conference on excluded questions. This
line of action will probably be arranged
in conjunction with England.

the meeting yesterday that the official
stenogrspher had been known to
charge SO q piece for three cases
in a single day. One Of the judges
present disputed this fact, when the law

offered to furnish proof of the fact. This
gross jobbsry does not stop there, in
famous as such excessive charges are.
When asked for q transcript of testimony
these reporters charge twenty cents

words. All they have to do is to dictate
to typewriter from their notes. For this
they pay the operator five cents folio,
pocketing the fifteen cents themselves.

Gus, and the demand for copies is large,
the bloated stenographer luxuriates in

imposition on litigants and Oh
the attorneys. The robbery is
so glsring and conscienceless that
the wonder is that the cutlery has not
been louder and more indignant than it
is. The HERALD first called attention to
this robbery, and encouraged the Super
visors to remedy the evil. That body
made an effort to stem the tide, but
seem to have referred it to the judges for
amendment. There ought to be no hest

hand ring, root and branch. An attorney
said at the meeting yesterday that if the
position were salarisd plenty OF people
could be found to take the positions at

porters were working in lawyers offices,
every whit as competent as those who
belong to the Ring crowd, for $40 a

to pay. The fraud is becoming
gigantic in its proportions, and before the
investigation is ended some people may
be we'll on the way to the Penitentiary,
and it is to be hoped that if they ought
to 60 there they will be obliged to stay
some time. The Bar Meeting adjourned
for week because the facts disclosed
were becoming Of such grave character
that it was deemed advisable to put wit
nesses under oath and confront them
with the inculpated parties. The HERALD
begs to suggest to the members of the
bar that they ought to hew to the line,
