The Free Library.

The library directors met in Burton Mans- fields law office last night and heard Libra rian Stetson explain several plans for the changing of the old Third church building into the new library building. All of the plans were to make the expense as little as possible. The one that seemed to attract considerable attention from the directors was one where the delivery room is first entered from Church street. to the rear of which is the place for the books and the directors room. On each side, running the full length of the building, arc the reading rooms, with 0 glass partition separating them from the delivery room. The book capacity of the plan is 30,000 volumes. It is intended that these plans are for only ten or fifteen years, after which the partitions can be taken down to make more book room. No plan has been adopted.

THE CKONIN THAI.

Attorney Donahue Begins His Speech
 For the Defenss-Seeking 8 Weak
 Link I'm the Chain of Evidence.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 4-When the court opened this morning in the Cronin case, Attorney Dan Donahue began his argument for the de- fepse. Mir. Donahue announced that he would devote his speech almost exclusively to the phases of the case relating to his cli- ents, O'Sullivan and Kunze. He began his address by saying that he felt, he was ad- dressing the jury in behalf of innocent men. The counsel then described how he had been retained to defend O'Sullivan, and said he had never heard of the man until he was in- formed of him by Mike Whalen, and never saw him until he visited him in jail. He told how he had been appointed by the court to defend Kunze and declared he had never received one dollar from Kunze or his friends for his defense. Mr. Donahue then took up the defense of Kunze and attacked the testimony of young James and questioned it's eredibili- ty. He denied any identification of Kunze by James or Nertes. He then devoted an hour to reading the law and relating cases of the attorney was that if one bit of the evi- dence offered by the State, one link in the chain, were false, then the whole structure must fall to the ground. The bit which MT. Domaine thought was false was the States claim that Burke was in the Carlson cottage the night of May 4th. He held, with great emphasis. that 1t had been proven by the de- fense that he was in Dsnahy's saloon at that time. MT. Donahue also took up the questions of reasonable doubt and eircumstantial evidence 1 and said the latter should be handled very gingerly. if at all. Touching the contract, the speaker did not deny its existence, but
 claimed that unless it had been proved that
 O'Sullivan in making the contract had done
 so with criminal intent, the fact had no sig.
 nificance. He thought the State had so failed
 to prove. .,
 to desl justly with his clients, and that il the name of Alexander Sullivan had ever preiudicad them in any manner, not to lei

NATIONAL WOOL WERS. Meeting of the Association at Wash.
 ington YestefdaY.

MA kAVCAA A W ~GAV W G2ASs Meeting of the Association at Wash-
 ington Yesterday.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The National Wool Growers' meeting to-day appointed com- mittee to prepare an address to the wool growers of the United States. Hon. Colum- Wool Growers association, made his annual address. He urged that both food and cloth ing should be produced at home, not pur- chased from abroad, when the people who consume have facilities for their production. He said: Suppose the nation involved in @ war, foreign or domestic, of serious dimen- sions, like that, for example, of the late re- bellien; suppose our commerce should be embarrassed as 1t was then; suppose our de. mand for wool no greater than 1t was then; l and suppose that free trade had destroyed the sheep industry and turned over to for- l eign nations the production of our wool, and we may be able to appreciate the folly, fl not the crime, of attempting to put wool or l the free list.
 "The production of wool,n he said, "il practicable everywhere in the United States. Influenced by the act of 1882," he contin' ! ued, "wool growing languishes throughou the United States, and without relief 1t mus soon perish. In Texas the wool clip of 1ss' was $5, ,016. .674, showing loss of 44. .211, ,560 Is it desirable to extinguish the in dustry best adapted to this vast section nnder the cry of free trade.

Under the in huence of the act of 1888 our annnal clip ha been reduced fifty five million pounds, whil A.yrS a t.,~, k.~~ per cent. annually to keep pace with tn natural growth of the country.
 The speaker then read statistics from we known authorities tending to show the necel sity of protection in order to preserve th . wool industry. "

 Great $1O,OOO Race at Hartford.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The board of review of the National Trotting association met this morning at the Fifth Avenue hotel, Judge P. B. Johnston presiding The first case to come before the board at their morning ses- sion was that of Dan Dsnvillss against Nell son in regard to the payment of the second money in the Hartford $10,00e race last September. This case was begun last night but when the session was adjourned the board had not finished all the evidence. Nelson claims that in the $10,000 race he bought the entry from Dsnvilles and was entitled to second money, which his horse won. When the money was paid, Denvilles protested it, claiming per centage of the money, and this claim he is now trying to make good before the board.
 Nelson, on the other hand, claims that he is entitled to the entire amount of the stake, inasmuch as he had bought Denville's entry and paid him for it before the race.

 Several other amendments to the section were proposed and accepted, and as finally adopted reads as follows: A steam vessel and sailing vessel when towing shall. in- stead of the signals provided for In sections A and c of this article, at intervals of not more than two minutes, sound on the whistle, siren or foghorn three blests in succession, one prolonged blast followed by two short ones. A vessel lowed may also give this sig nal on her foghorn, but not on her whistle or siren.
 When the conference fe assembled after re cess it proceeded with the consideration of section H in article 12, in additional report of the committee on sound signals, and it was adopted. A steam vessel wishing to indicate to another ''the way is off my ship, you may feel your way past me-" may sound on her whistle or siren three blasts, viz, short, long, short, with intervals of about one second be- tween them.
 Several delegates wanted a special fog sig- nal for vessels not under command or vessels laying or picking up teleg raph cables, and to this end delegate presented resolution embodying this proposition as the sense of the conference. The resolution was adopted by @ vote of 15 to 4.
 No signal, however, was chosen and the work of selecting it was referred to the com mittee on sound signals, after which the con- ference adjourned until tomorrow.
