ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 25.-In the preliminary
examination of Chambers for the killing Of
Bowman to-day, two witnesses testified
that Bowman made a motion as if TO draw
a pistol before Chambers fired the fatal
shot.
The event of the day was tho testimony
OF the murderer Chambers. He said Bow

Bowman whispered to him, Chambers.

l must levy on everything in sight, said
Bowman Chambers said he knew that if
Bowman once entered the house he would
get it without regard for the rights or feel
ings OF any one. He, Chambers, then
brought out gun with the intention of
frightening Bowman off the place. After
ordering Garrett away, he told Bowman he
would give him three minutes to move but
he didn't move. HE didn't move a
muscle" said Chambers, land then |

of the Terry Field-Nagle case and the

Ipulled it and Bowman fell"
The prosecution cross examined Cham

dealings with Bowman that he lost his
temper and the spectators were treated to
quite sensation. ''You were afraid Bow
man would kill you!" asked the prosecu

Yes replied Chambers.

payitt Before the Parnen Commission.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Michael Davitt re-
sumed his address before the Parnell com
mission today. He said the landlord sys,
tenn in Ireland should he abolished, and the
land vested in the state. Eight-tenths OF
the money which come from America for
the support of the Irish cause, he declared,
came from Irish working men and working
women. Davitt, continuing, said Houston,
secretary of the Loyal and Patriotic league,
and his accomplices knew the letters al
legged to have been written by Parnell,
which were printed in the London Times,
were forgeries before Pigott was put on
the witness stand; that it had come to his
Davitt's) knowledge that Pigott confessed
the fact prior to his testifying for the Times
On being interrupted by Chief Justice
Hannen, who said the commission would
not accept the statement without evidence,
Davitt replied that the allegation would be
again made and proven later on.
Davitt proceeded to point out that Par
nell, and not he, formed the Land league in
America. LIE Caron, he declared, had
failed to prove his assertion that the Clan
ma Gael managed Parnell's tour in Amer
lea No money collected in America had
ever been intended to assist an armed re-
bellion in Ireland. =

The NipsIc Repaired.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The cost OF re.
pairing the Nipsic was about twenty-seven
thousand dollars. This is a very satisfac-
tory showing to the officials, who say the
work was done more cheapy than it could
have been done in any of our navy yards.
The vessel, they say, is good for two
years lease of life without further repairs.
The estimates for the state department
for 1S90-9l will be about the same as last
years., 000,0 Several consuls will be
recommended for increase of salary.
The cable dispatch from Sidney which
reported an engagement between the forces
of MalitOa and Tamasese was shown TO the
state department officials. They said on
the face of it the report was startling, but
the Importance of the report was monitied
by the relative Importance of the foreign
interests in Samoa. In any event the re
port, If true, demonstrated that Malietoa
and Tamasese were not dwelling together
in such harmonious relations as had been
stated in recent accounts. The department
had no information on the subject what
ever. An examination of the correspond.
ence and reports on Samoan matters, with
the accompanying maps, showed there
were no American interests at all on the
island of Savay, and that those of Eng
land and Germany were inconsiderable

Noble on Conrad's Case.

CHICAGO, Oct pa special from Washington
regarding the case of ex-Special Agent Conrad
and the publications in connection Herewith,
saws that Secretary Noble to-day said to
q reporter that the letter referred to in
the published account was written by Act
ing Commissioner Stone, but that there
were many charges against Conrad to
prove his truthfulness and integrity not perfect.
He was dropped from the rolls April 10, 1889,
when the appropriation for examination of sur
Veys was exhausted. He came to Noble
and claimed he was o desirable wit
ness in the prosecution of the Benson
case. He convinced the secretary of
his usefulness in this respect and was
reinstated as special agent for the investigation
OF fraudulent entries. This was done simply to
keep him in the service so that he might be re
tanned as q witness, and the secretary sent him
back TO California, hoping the cases would soon
be tried. There was an cutlery against mis- ap-
pontment; then came telegram signed by
nearly all the California delegation demanding
his dismissal. The secretary sent the telegram to
Acting Commissioner Stone and the latter sent
back a statement that has been published to
the effect Conrad was efficient. Nov, when
Conrad came 20 me, y said the secretary, Con

while matters were in this condition

ing that Conrad had sold him to the land
grabbers and had circulated scandalous stories
about other persons. A great many other let
tiers making similar charges against Conrad,
were also received, and dismissed him again.

to be sent back to California as the the land

The Evidence In the Cronin Case.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25-The taking of vi
dence in the Identification of Cronin's
body was resumed in the Cronin case this
morning. The Identification was perfect
and very positive.
The next matter taken up was the finding
of the body in the catch basin by the two
sewer cleaners who notified the police of
the fact, and the policemen who were sent
out and assisted in removing the body,
were sworn as to this point and described
the proceedings. Lawyer Forrest, for the
defense, who made cress-examination on
this head, was very searching and rigid.
They were followed by DR.. Lewis, the
dentist who made set of false teeth for
Cronin. He identified the plate taken from
Cronin's mouth as the one he made He
said the cast for another set axactly fitted
the dead mans mouth A recess was then
taken.
At the afternoon session DR.. Egbert
stated the facts revealed by the autopsy,
describing the wounds at great length and
giving it as his opinion that death had re
suited from them. All the wounds were
on the head, but the skull was not broken,
except that small piece of bone was
chopped off the corner of the left eye. The
stomach and some of its contents were ex
hibited, and DR.. Egbert said that Cronin
was killed within three hours after having
eaten.
The cross-examination of Dr. Egbert
developed the fact that none of the wounds
were such as would necessarily cause
death. 1t was impossible, he admitted, to
say whether the wounds were inflicted be
fore or after death. If death had resulted
from the skull wounds, it would in all prob
ability have been caused by conclusion of
the brain. The question was put to the DR..
is it not scientifically true that the physi-
clans found no evidence in the body that
were certain and conclusive of death Dr.
Egbert replied, "That is true" He was of
the opinion thatdeath had occurred through
excessive loss Of blood, but there was no
certainty of it. He said DIR. Perkins. who
assisted at the post mortem, thought death
had resulted from conclusion of the brain.
That organ, however, was too LIuch decom-
posed to afford any information.

consideration of various resolutions pre-
scented to the convention. There are forty

gates now allowed makes the convention
unwieldy.

day, one endorsing the report of the com
mlttee on insurance and one fixing the time
for the election of officers Monday "At
this rate said one of the delegates to-
day, 1.-The convention will last longer than
