THE NArIoNALIsrs TRIAL.
The Court Stin Carrying Matters With a
High Hand-No Decision Yet.


DUBLIN. September 9G.-Thc stua-
tion at Tipperary this morning is much
more tranquil than yesterday. The
streets are still thronged with people
who seemed to be labOring under sup
pressed excitement, but there has been
no collision with the police. The ses-
sion of the Court for the trial of the con
spiracy cases was OF short duration.
When the hour Of opening came the
presiding magistrate announced that it
would be impossible TO proceed with the
cases this morning, as the Judge OF the
County Court required the building. 1t
was necessary. therefore, 10 adjourn fur
thcr proceedings until this afternoon.
Before the magistrate could declare the
Court adjourned Timothy IIealy Sprang
TO his feet, and in the name OF the
defendants offered an earnest protest
against an adjournment for the reason
given. 1t was not right, he urged, that
the magistrates In such "A case should
suit their actions TO the convenience OF
the County Court. The Judge of that
tribunal should be the one to yield, in
stead Of insisting on the letter of his
rights i'm the premises. Men had been
brought to Tipperary from their homes
for trial. They had right to expect
that the trial would be as expeditions
as possible. II was becoming more and
more manifest. Mr. IIealy declared,
that the defendants were being treated
with every diScourtesy the authorities
could devise. Mr.. Healy's protest was
unayailing. As soon as he resumed his
seat the Court was adjourned until the
afternoon.
When the Court rcopened in the
afternoon Mr. Roman proceeded with
the statement of the Crowns ease
against the accused men. When the
Court adjourned Mr.. Roman was still
| speaking.

STRIKE INEVITABLE.
Gable Line Employees of Chicago VIII Go
out on Monday Next.

CHICAGO. September %. The JounGl
this afternoon says that strike of the
employees Of the West Division Street
Railway Company is inevitable, and that
the time set for IL is next Monday. II
is asserted that there are several causes
leading up to il, chief among which are
the agitations by political leaders who
wish to make political capital out Of the
situation and the antagoniSm between
the two unions comprising the force.
The officials OF the company have
reached the conclusion that a strike
must come and prefer TO have it now.
They say that they propose to make
an mcompromiSing fight and will
never again employ any Of the strikers,
matter what it costs; that they will hire
new men and run cars If they have to
load them down with police as the only
passengers. 1t is alleged that the series
of accidents which followed the opening
Of the new West Side cable line was not
due to inadyertcncc, but they were de-
iberately pcrpetratcd by the employees
to give the impression that the line was
badly constructed and So gain the sym
pathy Of the public when the time for
the strike should arrive.
