the iron-clad provisions of the bill
originally introduced will put an end

migration and protect American labor. He
will also introduce bill and advocate an
appropriation looking to the construction

number of private bills for the relief OF cltl.
zens in nearly every county in the State of

of his colleagues, Senator Dolph and Rep
resentative Herman, and his assurances to
that effect from them in support of all the
foregoing measures, many of which have
heretofore been also introduced and ac-
knowledged by them. He also expects his
colleague, Senator Dolph, to reintroduce
his bill providing for the forfeiture of all

twice heretofore.

DIR. Cronin's Knives Found in the Posses
sion of Coughlin.
CHICAGO, November 29th-At the open
ing of the Cropin trial this morning the
State called one witness in rebuttal on
Burke's alibi. Then the defense began a
sub-rebuttal to strengthen its case. Nothing
of interest was developed.
Mr.. LoDgenecker announced to the jury
that he will confine himself TO a review of
the evidence in the case, leaving the argu-
ments and speeches to his associates.
He said the State doesn't desire that the
defendants shall be guessed guilty. II
doesn't desire that they be convicted upon
doubtful evidence. I'VE don't desire that
they be convicted upon anything except
the law and evidence in the case; but if
you, having heard ell of it, believe that the
law and evidence iustifes you in saying
they are guilty, then we do demand that
your verdict shall be in accordance with
the law and evidence and nothing short of
a truthful verdict under the law and evi-
dence will meet the demands in this case.
Whether the verdict be TO acquit or con-
yict, with that the people must be content
The State contends that the murder of DR..
Cronin was brought about by conspiracy.
We claim ii was concerted and executed
and that these men on trial are parties to
the conspiracy, together with others not on
trial. That is our position.
I'VE further claim it was cold blooded
conspiracy-a conspiracy without paral-
lei. A cold, deliberately, planned conspir-
acy most terrible in its effects"
The States Attorney spoke Of the dis

the witnesses as to the row in Camp 20
over the premature reading of the Buffalo
minority report in Cronin's Camp and the
reference of the matter By Beggs TO SPELL
man. He stated at that Camp meeting,
the night of February Sth, is when the
conspiracy began.
He then continued his review of the evil
dence regarding Beggs' and Spellman's cor
respondence, etc, and came down to the
meeting of Camp 20, on February 22d,
when Patrick McGarry made charges and
Beggs in the meeting said he thanked God
Alexander Sullivan had friends, and that

At this point the Court adjourned.
The local News Bureau has a new sensa-
ton in the Cronin case. Detective Flynn,
who locked Dan Coughlin up at the time of
his arrest, informed Chief Hubbard to-day,
as if he Just thought of it. that Coughlin
gave him two knives on that occasion
which, at Coughlin's request, be locked up
in the safety vault. These knives were Sc
cured to-day and taken to one of DR..
Cronin's intimate friends, who identified
them as the dead doctors property. When
questioned about the matter this afternoon,
Chief Hubbard admitted its truth, and de-
clared that he believed it was Clan-na-Gael
influence which induced Flynn to suppress
the matter until too late to use it as evi-
dence in the pending trial.

Ap,r1RAL PoRrER,s REPoRT.
He says Most of the Vessels Are in Good
Condition.

WASHINGTON, November 29.h-The an
nual report of Admiral Porter shows most
of the ships in the navy are in good condi-
ton. The Antietam, Juniats, Pilgrim and
Quinnebsug have been condemned and
ordered sold for $500. $40 600, $500 and
SO 600 respectively.
The Admiral says he has frequently
found reports of the exercises on board the
ships unsatisfactory and the regulations
imperiectly complied with, and thinks the
reports should be made directly to the Bu-
reau of Navigation, where they might come
under the eye of the department.
Many things which are obsolete are still
adhered to in these reports, the forms for
which were made twenty years ago, and
the Admiral recommends that as the sys-
tenn of tactics and exercises are entirely
changed, new forms should be made.
