There waa igood attendance. more than
one hundred members being present. Mr..
Holman. Of Indiana, was elected chair
man of the caucus, Mr.. Carlisle having
declined the post. Following a time hon
ored custom the Republican majority had
slgniied their willingness to allow the
Democratic minority to retain one of their
party in the employ of the doorkeeper, and
the caucus tonight selected Isaac II. Hill,
now an assistant sergeant-at-arms, as the
employe who should be SO retained, and
made it his duty to preserve the secrecy of
the caucus.
Messrs. Wilson. of West Virginia. and
Blanchard, of Louisiana, were reelected
secretaries of the caucus. Representa-
tive Oates, of Alabama, offered a reso-
luton providing for the appointment
of committee of fifteen members with
ex-Speaker Carlisle as chairman to under
take the care of the political interests of
the minority, or to discharge the duties of
what is commonly known as a steering
committee" Opposition Immediately de-
veloped. Representative Blounr of
Georgia, found a number OF reasons why
the resolution should not be adopted. Mr..
Breckenridge of Arkansas, Mr.. Breckln-
ridge of Kentucky, and Mr.. Crane OF
Texas, also opposed the resolution and
moved substitutes. After some discus
sion all motions were laid aside and the

STILL ARGUING.
Lawyers Wing and Ingham For and
Against the Cronin Suspects.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 3-Judge Wing re-
viewed the expert testimony concerning
the blood found in the Carlson cottage and
the hair found in the trunk. He asserted
that it had not been shown that either the
blood or the hair were human, much less
Dr. Cronins.
This closed his address and Mr.. Ingham
for the prosecution took up the arguments
in behalf Of the prosecution.
After brilliant exordium in which he
described the killing of DR.. Cronin and the
disposal of the body Mr.. Ingham defined
and illustrated the application Of the law
of conspiracy.
The speaker then proceeded to reply to
Judge Wings argument. addressing him.
self first to the question of the value of
circumstantial evidence and quoting long
opinions to the effect that it may be
stronger than any direct evidence Judge
| Wing had taken up the evidence bit by
bit and had argued its weakness This
| was simply an illustration of the old story
about the irrefragability Of the bundle of
sticks, each of which could easily be brok-
en- singly. So it was, he said, in this
case; each eliminating circumstance
was eXplanable upon the theory
of innocence; but combined the
conclusions to which they pointed
was irresistible. The circumstances from
the time of the meeting in camp 20 to that
of the finding of the clothes of DR.. Cronin
in the sewer showed an intelligent human
design. 1t had it's origin in hate its
| foundation in the charge that DR.. Cronin
was spy and its end IN the butcherv in
| the Carlson cottage and the burial in the
sewer
Mr.. Ingram then touched upon the alibi
| testimony and showed that it was all by
| friends of the accused while the in
culpiation evidence was by impartial wit
nesses. The speaker then took the evidence
against KunZe and in the course of his
remarks said impressively: ut was said
| by this man kunZe to man on the South
side that he expected to be arrested on the
Cronin business Why, why?"
The defendant, Kunze-Why, because
he told me that.
Mr.. Ingham, (resuming)-Because he
knew the business.
The defendant, Kunze-God knows am
innocent.
Mr.. Ingham then proceeded to trace the
connection between Coughlin. Kunze and
O'Sullivan. The speaker next reviewed
the fight between Cronin and the triangle
as the moving cause of the murder and
closed with an appeal for conviction.
Adjourned.

Department of Agriculture.

The creation OF an exclusive department
to be known as the department of agri-
culture by the act of February 8 last was
wise and timely response to a request
which had long been respectfully urged
by the farmers of the country, but much
remains to he done to perfect the organlZa-
ton of the department so it fairly realizes
the expeditions which its creation excited.
In this connection attention is called to
suggestions contained in the report of the
secretary, which is herewith submitted.
The need Of a law Office for the depart
inent. such as provided for the other
executive departments, is manifest. The
failure of the last congress to make the
usual provision for the publication of the
annual report should be promptly rene
oied. The public interest in the report
aud 1t value 10 the farming community |
nm sure will not be diminished understhe
lew organization of the department.
/ recommend that the weather service
be separated from the war department and
established as a bureau in the department
of agriculture. This will involve an entire
reorganization both OF weather bureau
and of the signal corps. making of the
first a purely civil organization and of the
other purely military staff organization.
The report of the chief signal officer shows
that the work of the corps on its military
eide has been deueriorating

TO PROTECT RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
The attention of the interstate commerce

need of congressional legislation for the
better protection of the lives and limbs of
those engaged in operating the great
freight lines of the country and especially
of the yard men and brakemen. A petition
signed by nearly ten thousand railway
brakemen was presented to the commits
sion, asking that steps might be taken to
bring about the use or automatic brakes
and couplers OIL freight cars.
At meeting of state railroad commits
sioners and their accredited representa-
tives held at Washington IN March last
upon the invitation of the Interstate CON-
merce committee, a resolution was unanl-
mously adopted urging the commission
Ito consider what can be done to prevent
the loss of life and limb in coupling and
uncoupling freight cars, and in handling
the brakes of such cars" During the year
ending June 80, 1888, over 1900 railroad
employees were killed in service and more
than 10000 injured. 1t is competent,
think, for congress to require uniformity
in the construction of cars used In inter-
state commerce and the use of improved
safety appliances upon such trains. Time
will be necessary to make the needed
changes, but an earnest and Intelligent
beginning should be made at once. 1t is
n reproach to our civilization than any
class of American workmen should in the
pursuit of a necessary and useful vocation
be subjected TO peril of life and limb as
sreat as that of "A soldier in time of war.

COMMITTEE ESTl-
MATES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The clerks of the
committees on appropriations of the senate
and house have prepared a comparative
statement of estimates, appropriations and
expenditures for the maintenance for the
government for the fiscal years 1890 and
1891, from which it appears that the net
increase of the estimates for 1891 over those
for the current year is s20, SCI, 1873, and the
net increase OF the estimates for the next
year over the appropriations for this year
is S3S. O52 Il2 The total estimates of regu-
lar and permanent annual appropria tious
for the next fiscal year are S406, S43, 3l5,
while total revenues are estimated at $3.50,
4l4 331. showing an excess Of estimated
revenues over estimated appropriations
next year of S43. ST. ,022. The re, surplus
for the present year is placed at $50, 532 5l1
or s.. 961 ,4s9 more than the estimated
surplus for the next fiscal year. This
prospective decrease in the surplus is stat
ed too without reference to the poSsIbil
ity of the enactment of a river and harbor
bill for, in the estimates submitted by he
secretary of the treasury, there is notabl.
omission of the ordinary provision for
river and harbor improvements For the
preservation OF existing works the sum of
S22s7 900 is asked, while the report of the
chief of engineers says that SIS, So. $50 can
can be profitably expended next year in
these improvements.
The statement above quoted differs ma
terially from that prepared from the treas
ury department and exhibited in the book
of estimates Just issued for the reason that
the postal receipts and revenues are differ
emily treated by the treasury and appro-
priation committees.

LIBERAL LEGISLATION SOUGHT.
am not unaware that the pension roll
already involves very large annual ex-
penditure: neither am 1 deferred by that
fact from recommending that congress
grant pension to such honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors of the civil
war as, having rendered substantial service
during the war, are now dependent upon
their own labor for their maintenance ana
by disease or casualty are lncapacitsteo
from earning it. Many of the men VINO
would be included in this form OF re!ief
are now dependent upon public aid and IL
does not. in my judgment, conslsG
with the national honor that they snail
continue to subsist on the local relief gwen
unfortunately to paupers instead OF up.
on the special and generous provision Oh
the nation they served so CALAMITY anu un-
selfishly. Our people, am sure, very gen
erally approve of such legislation and am
EQUALLY sure that the survivors OF the
union army and navy will feel sense OF
relief when this worthy and suffering class
of their comrades is fairly cared for. There
are some manifest inequalities IN tne eX-
isting law that should be remeoled. 10
some of these the secretary of the interior
has called attention.
It is gratifying to be able TO state that
by the adoption of new and better methods
in the war department the calls OF the
pension Office for information as to the
military and hospital records OF pension
claimants are now promptly answered ana
the injurious and vexatious delays thae
have heretofore occurred are entirely avoid
ed This will greatly facilitate the ADJUST
ment of all pending claims.
