MRS. FOY'S STORY.
Probability That She Will Be Per-
mitted to Tell II,

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Judge Tuthill rem
dered decision in the CoughIin case to-
day, in which he intimated that he would
admit the testimony of Mrs. Foy, wife of
Andrew Foy, whom she alleges was one
Of the conspirat0rs who assassina ated DR..
Cronin, and who, she claims, revealed the
facts to her afterward in moments of
dependency. Counsel for the defense has
asked the Judge to instruct the attorney
for the prosecution, in opening the case, to
omit all reference to Mrs. Foy's story on
the ground that the evidence was incom-
petent because it duplicates her husband.
The Judge. ruled that the States attorney
might refer to the testimony, but must not
use Mrs. Foy's name. The Judge said be
was inclined to the view taken by the
prosecution in the matter, but would re-
serve his decision.
Mrs. Andrew Foy, who told the story of
the killing of DR.. Cronin. as it was told her
by her hus sband. who was alleged to be
party to it, has supplemented it with the
further alleged confession by her hus baud
to the effect that the conspirators had ar
ranged to supplement their crime by put
ting Judge Richard Prendergast. ex-Con-
gressman John F. FiDerty and real estate
man named Conway out of the way. She
told this story to the attorneys last sum-
mer. but they persuaded her not 10 give it
to the public. She declares she told the
consprators that il they proceeded any
further she would tell all she knew, so the
matter was dropped. There is wide diff.
ference of opinion as to the value of Mrs.
FOy's story.

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-The Brazilian

seriously disabled by the act of an un-
known traitor among her crew that she
will probably be unable to continue her

the West Indies late to-day. announcing
that one of the vessels valves, among the
most vulnerable parts of a ships ma
chinery, had been purposely broken by
some unknown mem ber of the crew and
that the vessel had thereby been so Sc
riously injured that a long delay must
occur before she could continue her voyage.
The Nictheroy. which left ST. Thomas
with the America for Rio Janeiro on Sum-
day night, continued on her voyage alone.
The traitor, it is said, did bis work last
Monday. The cable message did not give
the particulars of the affair. The indica-
tions are said to point most strongly to
the traitor being in the engineers division.

New Complications Arise in the
Lehigh Valley Strike.


MAUCH CHUNK, Dec. 6.-There is seri-
Gus hitch in the settlement OF the Lehigh
Valley strike. The leaders received
cipher messages early this morning de-
clsring the strike off. They expected to
return in body and every man took his
place, but when the arrangement was
made known to them, things assumed
different shape and they unanimously de-
clared that every man would have to be
taken back or none. The strikers held a
meeting in the 0pera-house this evening
and the proposition for settlement was
rejected. Similar action was taken at
Lehigh. WeissporI and Whitehaven. The
new phase of the situation has caused
great uDeasiness here, and stockholders,
strikers and business men are more or
less detected. They had hoped for set
tlement, but the strikers say they are pre-
pared to hold out for any length of time.
WHKEsBARRE, Dec 6.-The strikers
broke ranks at II O'Clock tonight and
made rush for Superintendent Esser's
office. The latter said to all applicants:
Understand, gentlemen, l abide by the
agreement given out this evening, and
that is that shall take back as many of
you as l can make places for. You de-
serted the road voluntarily. We had to
run our trains and we got other men.
They are doing their work faithfully.
There are some vacancies and these I will
fill with the first men who return and re-
port for duty" Some of the strikers claim
that their grand chief sold them out, and
that they were in a fair way to win the

WILLIAM IN A PET.
Seriously Displeased With the
King of Wurtemburg.
Strained Relations That May End in
Serious Consequences to the
German Empire.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-The Paris edition of the
New York Herald says that a vain at
tempt is being made in Berlin and Stutt-
CART to conceal the trouble between En-
peror William and the King of Wurtem-
burg. The Emperor complains bitterly in
an interview with the King of Wurtem-
burg's clandestine opposition to his policy.
The Emperor referred to the hostility of
Baron Won Mittenacht, Wuriemburg's
Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
and Welckers. Wurtemburg's general. Nit
tenacht is accused of too much friendship
for Bismarck and of encouraging agita-
tioD against the wine tax. When the King
OF Wurtemburg tried to justify his Pre-
mier by pointing out that the tax was im-
possible, the Emperor few into passion
and accused Mittenacht and Welckers of
insubordin alton and of making false re-
port of drought in Wurtemburg as a
means of stopping the army maneuvers.
The King. in order to quiet the En-
peror. promised to put everything straight.
but the Emperor said: Last year we
were set at naught by the pretext that
there was cholera at Ham burg. This year
it is drought. This must be stopped"
Mittenacht's position has become IN bear
able, and as soon as he has advocated In
the Diet his scheme for a reform of the
constitution, which will doubtless be re-
jected, he will certainly resign as Minister
of War also. 10 spite of his recent visit
to Berlin he is already packing his trunks,
and Welckers has asked TO retire.
When the Emperor was present at the
recent review in Stuttgart he treated
Weckers like dog aud feigned to not see
him, though Welckers was in command.
The Emperor said, loud enough to be
heard by all his staff. THE troops are bad,
bnt their handling is worse than bad"
The Emperor then turned his back on
Welckers, who was thunderstruck at this
treatment.
The Minister Of War and Mittenach were
similarly treated. The Emperor did not
reply to either of them. but turned his
back and then refused to see Won Moser
in Berlin, giving him to understand that
the air of the country was not good for
him.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.-The Minister of Wur-
temburg at Berlin has resigned on account
of the fact that he opposes the project
credited to the Emperor of replacing the
Minister of War OF Wurtem burg by mill
tary Cabinet. The relations between Wur-
tembuIg and the empire have been strained
since last summer, when the Wurtem burg
troops abandoned the military maneuvers
owing TO a scarcity OF fodder.

Of Naval Officers having finished Its con-
sjderation of the plans. The Union Iron
Works. through its representatives, made

made similar reduction from their bid
ON the third vessel. The ships will he

partment No. will be 220 feet long by 36

AFRAID OF A CAUCUS.
Democrats Not a Unit on the
Tariff Bill.
Nevertheless the Measure VIII Be
Pushed to Early Passage i'm
the House.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-The members of
the Ways and Means Committee have been
listening as subcommittee In groups of
twOs and threes and individually to COM
plants OF those who want the tariff
changed in different particulars which
will affect their interests. to-day. Among
the delegations was one representing large
playing-card manufacturing concerns in
New York, Cincinnati and Indianapolis,
who claimed that a less tax would yield a
greater revenue and enable manufacturers
to continue in business. The Democratic
members Of the committee said they ex-
pected these protests would be made.
They were not disturbed by them, and q OF
inclined to make any changes unless there
appears that some unintentional error has
been made.
Efforts are making by Democrats dissat-
isfed with the bill to have caucus held,
but the members of the committee do not
want caucus and will probably use
their best endeavors to avoid one. Friends
Of the administration are also counted upon
to help in preventing caucus.
The bill will be taken I'D by the full
committee, and the Democrats think that
In three or four days it can be reported to
the House. The Republicans want more
time. but the Democrats will insist on re-
porting the bill and having several set
speeches in the House before the holiday
recess.
Inquiry az to the position of the Popu-
lists on the tariff bill leads to the conclu-
sion that they are likely to support II in
body in both houses. They would like a
tariff measure even more radical. but being
unable to get it they will take the next
best thing. Their position in the Senate
is one of considerable interest Some
Democrats are inclined to oppose the
measere unless 1t is materially modified.
