O'DONNELL'S TRIAL.
The Homestead Leader On the
Stand in His Own Defense,
HE DECLARES He WAS FOR PEACE
And Did All He Gould to Keep tho
Men From LawIess Aots-A Strict
Cross. Examination Does Not Phase
Him-Arguments by Counsel-The
Case Given to the Jury But No Yer.
dict Has Yet Been Rendered.

PITTsBURdH, Pa, Fob, 1.-THE report
that Hugh ODonnell was to be placed
on the stand to testify in his own be-
half attracted large number OF promi-
nent Pittsburgers to the criminal court
this morning,
A number OF unimportant witnesses
were examined and it was then decided
to call the defendant, 0'Connell testi-
fed that prior to July 9th he had been
employed as correspondent OF the trl-
state bureau, lie then repeated the
story OF the riot and in answer to tho
question upon which side he was, he re-
piled: "lhe side OF peaceful man."
Upon cross.examination he denied
that the men had u military organiIa-
tion but admitted that they were
divided into three turns at watching
the property for the purpose OF pro-
tecting it.
'IIow far away from the Carnegie
property did the turns extendT
Around the fence"
"Did not you have guards across the
river?"
mo, sir; they were working there
and dissuading men from going into
the MILL"
"rhat was tho way you were guarding
the mill then, was it?"
mo, sir; not altogether"
"From whom were you guarding the

"ro keep the Carnegie steel company
from destroying its own property"
ITO keep its watchmen."
"To keep its watchmen from destroy
ing its property?
II mean exactly what said"
"Wero these turns armeu?
II don't know"
"Did you ever hear any one advising
the men not to so armed on those
turns?"
~ had nothing to do with them"
The Judge here irterposed and the
ross.eXamination ended.
When court reConvened in the after
noon every available inch OF space was
occupied and hundreds were turned
away, unable to get near the doors.
| John S. Robb opened the argument Tor
the prosecution. He defined the rights
of tho Carnegie Company. saying they
had right to run their works us they
saw fit and with whatever mon they telt
like employing, After tho discharge of
the old men they had no right upon the
company'a ground without permission.
Major L. A. Montooti followed in
mastery plea for the defense, review
ing tho trip up tho river and the events
which followed. In closing he attacked
the testimony Of tho Pinkerton captain,
Cooper, saying he was only the chief OF
a gang OF thugs employed at the Coney
Island race track to keep one thief from
robbing another.
Hon. Thomas NJ. Marshall then took
up theargument for the defense, and
MIR Patterson closed for the common
wealth, after which court took recess
until o'clock this evening. AT the
night session Judge Stowe delivered an
impartial charge and tho case was given
to the Jury.

MITCHELL AND oonRETr.

Negotiations All or ON Account of n
Division OF tho Purse Matters Grow
Funny.
New YoRK. Feb. H. Charley Mitchell,
the English pugilist, met VIM, A, Brady
and Billy Delaney, Corbett'a representa-
tives at the World office at A o'clock
this afternoon,
For an hour aud a half the atmos-
phere in the sporting editors room was
filled with English tinesse and American
oratory. Mitchell covered Brady's ten
81 900 bills with twenty $500 bills, then
objected to the division OF the purse to
be fought for, and so the negotiations
ended, all in air for the present,
ut is agreed, OF course. that the win
ner shall take all the purse," said Brady,
confidently, after the money was put
'"oh! no." said Mitchell, ~ think
there should be a division"
Brady said that he wanted it to be all
or nothing. lie was willing to permit
1000 Of it to 20 to the loser
for training expenses. Mitchell,
however demanded that the purse pc
divided, so and 20 per cent. Brady
would not agree to this and as an argl-
ment said that the purse ,might be
$4,000, in which case Mitchell would
receive $4,000 for fighting Corbett,
which was really 5000 more than he
was betting on the outside. Brady
finally on his own responsibility agreed
to let the loser have $500 instead OF
$1,000. Mitchell, however, would listen
to no other agreement than he has
stated about the division OF the purse.
The meeting had to be adjourned
until o'clock this afternoon in order
to give Brady an opportunity to teIe-
graph to Corbett to find out what
further concession he was willing to
make.
Corbetts reply came about 10 o'clock
tonight.

THE HOMIE RULE BILL.
Mr.. Chamberlain Speaks Against It-Ti
Grounds of His Objection.

Mr.. Chamberlain Speaks Against 1.-THE
Grounds of His Objection.
LONDON, Feb. lin the house Of
commons to-day the Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain resumed the debate on
the home rule bill. Mr.. Chamberlain
declared that the bill sowed the seeds
OF future discomfort, and paved tho
way 70 demands that would be certain
to be urged when England's emergency
became Ireland's opportunity. 1t was
recommended as inal settlement, yat
it deprived the Irish parliament OF all
control Of trade and commerce. The
speaker reminded the house that Mr..
Parnell insisted that no iinaity was
possible until Ireland had the power to
impose retaliatory duties. Instead OF
guaranteeing imperial unity, the bill in
yolved risk TO the existence Of the
united kingdom.
"supposing," Mr.. Chamberlain asked,
''that Great Britain should become in
voIvcd in war with the United States,
which heaven forbid, for II would be
fratrlcide. Ireland might owe gratitude
to England but did she not owe graft
tude to tho United StRtes2 (Unionist
cheers) Suppose Great Britain bo-
came involved IN war with France or
Russia. With eighty Irish members
coming to the Imperial parliament to
ombarrass and hamper tho govornm ont
in times OF difficulty Ireland would gee
what she demanded or seriously Grip
pie Great Britain's struggle for exIs-
tence."
Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain do
clared that tho measure left tho I'm.
porial parliament with not II shadow OF
genuine supremacy. Tho Hon. Edward
Blake, Nationalist, said that tho bill
was thorough. lie objected to suspon-
sion Of tho laud question for three
years. The Irish parliament he said
ought 10 be empowered to deal at orcc
with tho land problem.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 17.-This
morning when the local eastbound
train OF the Chesapeake & Ohio arrived
at 81. Albans, Ed Pauley, who resides
in the country few miles from that
place, alighted therefrom. Among the
bystauders at the depot, was George
Rose, who attained notoriety by his
connection with the gold scheme OF
some months ago. Immediately upon
Pauley reaching the platform OF the
depot, the two men drew revolvers and
commenced firing at each other, Rose
retreating and Pauley advancing. The
men emptied their revolvers before
ceasing. Mayor Lewis, OF st. Albans.
who was on the train, alighted and
placed Pauley under arrest, but he i'm

SAN Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE steam.
ship Belglc from Hong Kong and Yoka-
hama, via Honolulu, arrived in port at
o'clock this morning with smallpox
aboard. She anchored in the lower end
of the bay and no mail or newspapers
will be put off until after the quaran'
tine officer goes aboard and attends to
the fumigation. Officers on the bridge
shouted to the occupants OF small
boat which went alongside that the
American flag is still floating over the
government buildings in Honolulu aud
that all was quiet on the Hawaiian
Islands when the steamer left there
February 10, and that there Ind been
no disturbance.
Martial law was declared OIL by the
provisional government OF Hawaii on
February 5. Everybody Ia anXiously
awaiting news from tho United States,
and the sentiment in favor OF anneXa'
tion is reported as steadily growing. y
detachment OF sailors and marines from
the United States ship Boston is still
quartered on shore. The United States
war ship Mohican was just entering the
harbor OF Honolulu as the Belgic sailed,
but there was apparently no necessity
for any increase OF the naval forces, for
both the whites and natives seemed
content to await action by the Washing
ton government.
Ex.Qeen Liliuokalani is still in retire.
ment in her private residence. The
provisional government has demon
strated its ability to cope with the situ-
alton and has in n great measure won

Special DisDaich TO the IntGli1eRceL
ADDISON, W. Va, Feb. 1.-THE post
office at this place isn't the lattest plum
in the gift OF the coming Democratic
administration, but one would think so
judging from the scheming OF desperate
politicians to get it, even at this early
day. The present efficient Republican
occupant, Miss Kate A. Arthur, isn't
worrying herself about who her success
sor will be, notwithstanding the efforts
of certain parties to involve her in the
fight in a peculiar way. Recently she
was approached by two well known
politicians, one at time, each asking
that she would write her resignation
and give it to him, 40 that he
might go TO Washington and have
a Democratic friend appointed and thus
head OIL another applicant. Miss
Arthur promptly gave the gentleman
to understand she would do nothing OF
the kind; that abe would resign in
favor of no Democrat. Shortly after
another man called on her and had the
efFrontery to offer to bribe her to give
up the office. This gentleman was
sent away wiser man, for Miss Arthur
told him Indignantly that she regarded
his proposition as an insult, and fur
thermore that she intended to hold the
fort until her successor was appointed,
which would not be until after the
fourth of March, at which time her
resignation, which had been rendered
soon after the election, would take effect

CHICAGO, Feb. H.-After reading the
dispatches from New York about the
coming Corbett.Mitchell prize fight,
John l.. Sullivan said:
~ think Mitchell is in earnest this
time and that the fight will be go. l
am surprised at the conditions Corbett
names. By what right does he require
Mitchell to put up $4,000 in bulk in
order to got fight? Less than year
ago Corbett secured a match with me
for the championship and his first de-
posit was $1,000. My friends told me
was fool to make the match under
those conditions; that Corbett would
put up his forfeit, go on the road, make
a lot OF money and then bolt. Ibid not
believe 1t, however, and was willing to
think that he was !p earnest. Corbett
should give Mitchell the same chance"
"As to which should win in the COM
ing fight, prefer nottosa ! fought
both men and have pretty fair idea OF
their ability, but prefer to express no
positive opinion.
"Corbett has tho advantage In height
and reach, but is no cleverer than
Mitchell, and the latter is the stilter
puncher. Many seem to think that be-
cause Corbett punched me out that he
is hard hitter Such is not the case,
however. In the last round OF our fight,
after my arms had fallen helpless at my
side, 1t took at least ten punches from
him to knock me down and out.
Mitchell can do better than that, and
those who are figuring OH it being a
cinch for Corbett will be badly fooled.
l hope it is, because as between IN
American and foreigner my sympathy
OF course will be with the former.
"I received the following telegram
from the stakeholder in New York:
"NEw YoRK, Feb. 16.
"In the event OF u match between
Corbett and Mitchell, will you act as
Corbett's second" ?"
~ haven't answered this yet but will
to-day. / will refuse to act. l wish
Corbett every success, but don't care
to act as his second. l do not even
know that | will SEQ tho fight"
