When Mayor-elect Hopkins of Chicago

next fall will be a democrat or republican

GUARDING THE JURY,
Efforts to Prevent Tampering In the
COuGhlfn Case.

CHICAGO. Dec. 3O-Extra safeguards
were thrown around the jury and prisoner
in the Cronin case this morning to remove
all possibility of outside interference. On a
chair in the center of the corridor. between
Judge Tuthills chamber door and the en-
trance to his court room, sat a bailiff who
barred the curious crowd who have daily
gathered there and stood in the way of Dan
Corghlin. his guards and the jury.
When the trial judge arrived he objected
to the officers of the law barring the door
so rigidly to persons applying for admis-
sion, even without tickets. He upset the
rules laid down by Sheriff Gilbert, and said
to the police officers in charge of the door:
This is a public court room, and people
are entitled to sit here as long as they be-
have themselves properly. You will admit
persons until the seats are filled. and no
longer. You will take orders from me and
no one else"
. In the court room few people were allow
ed inside the railing and seats nearest the
jury were kept vacant. A detective sat on
guard In that corner, scrutinizing every new
conner, and keeping his eyes ON the specta-
tors continually.
The trial was resumed with Henry L. Toll
man. the microscopic on the stand, under
CT cfoss-examination. The testimony was un-
interesting, because it was of an expert and
scientific character, although IL had an i'm
portant bearing on the case. The chief
point made by the defense, as at the former
trial, was that he could not tell the differ
ence between the blood corpuscles of a man
ana those OF young dog. When asked
why he did not ascertain from his micro-
scopic examination the specific weight or
density of all the blood corpuscles given
him by the state four years ago, he replied:
measure boy in order to get the size of a
man."

ANTIPATHY TO REPORTERS

CHICAGO, Dec 30.-Prendergast, the con-
demned assassin, was removed today from
cell No. H. on the first corridor, to cell No.
23, in murderers' row, in the second tier of
cells
Prendergast was very gloomy and silent
this morning He ate a hearty breakfast
and then talked for a while with his death
watch.
'Oh, slept well last night" said he. in
reply to a question from the guard. Il
won't hang" he continued. Il will get a
new trial, and it will be more fair than the
one just closed. No, sir, they won't hang
me-" continued the prisoner hopefully.
When a reporter sent in a request for a
short interview with Prendergast the as
sassin sent back a very decisive refusal.
NO" he snapped. ''Pll not see newspaper
reporters. I have stopped talking to the
press"
In refusing to see reporters Prendergast
is following the instructions of his attor-
neys. None of Prendergast's attorneys or
relatives visited him this forenoon. The
prisoner is not allowed the freedom of the
corridor, as he was before conviction.

Some of the Departments to BE Over
hauled by Experts.

Complaints have been made Of the al
legged bad sanitary condition of the State
War and Navy building and, as already
stated in The Star, Secretary Herbert has
appointed Medical Director A. c. Gorgas,
Passed Assistant Surgeon F. Griffith and
Civil Engineer NJ. T. Endicott board to
investigate the matter SO far as the Navy
Department is concerned. Some of the bu-
reau chiefs assert that Notwithstanding
the comparative newness of the building
its means of ventilation are inadequate
and defective. The corridors divide the
rooms into an outer and inner series. The
outer rooms have two and sometimes three
windows TO the street. The inner rooms
look out upon two large courts, which are
divided by cross section Of the building
containing office rooms. In several of the
bureaus the space allowed for clerks is
said to be too limited. The bureau of sup
plies and accounts is mentioned in par
ticular as being overcrowded. The experts
say that the poor ventilation of the build
ing is due to the practice Of keeping the
doors and windows closed and that the
foul air arises solely from the unwillingness
of the occupants of the rooms to having
them thoroughly aired. The naval board
will make thorough examination of each
room and will report the result to the Sec
retary

Two TcIegrams.

Secretary Herbert has received two i'm
portant cable messages from Capt Picking
commanding the United States naval forces
at Rio. in regard to recent developments in
the Brazilian situation, but will not make
them public at present. 1t is understood
that they bear directly on the policy Of the
administration on this question and could
not be given out without disclosing that
secret. Their character will not affect ex-
isting orders and the New York and San
Francisco will continue on their way to
Rio unless something occurs within the
next few days to render their presence
unnecessary. The Miantonomoh will also
continue on her way to Trinidad so as to
be Immediately available for service in
Brazil in case she is needed.

BISHOP COKE AND THE SCHOOLS,
The Papal Ablegate Again Taken to
Task by the Buffalo Divine,

Task by the Buffalo Divine.
BUFFALO, N Y, Dec. SO.-Bishop ccxe
makes public this morning his fourth letter
to Monsignor Satoln. He selects for his
subject the schools. and says that the able
gates party, fully realizing the fact that
votes can do more than bayonets Just now.
is bending every energy to that end.
''Virgirs Tale of Troy divine" the bishop
says, lis a warning to great and strong
people against foreign influence" and he
relates the story of the ablegate Simon who
persuaded the Trojans to admit a great
religious machine full of Jesuits. with the
result that the city fell into the hands of
the Greeks.
The bishop likens Mgr. Satoln to Simon,
and says that the ablegate, in advising US
to pull down our great bulwarks, the COM
mon school, and accept his machine instead
makes clear what we need, in his opinion
Is the constitution according to Sheehan
and education according to Satolli. With
San Domingo Mexico and South America
before the ablegate's eyes, a reproach to
his ideas of education that smells to heaven
the bishop is astonished that he should
come to Washington to build up a uni
versity to teach the United States and asks
why he does not go where neither schools
nor universities exist that are worthy of the
name and let us alone, who for nearly three
centuries have taught ourselves and whose
schools were not goddess until Roman &C.
clesiastics forced the politicians to take out
of them the Ten Commandments and the
Lords Prayer.
The bishop then criticises Father Pus-
tets book, designed for The family and
more advanced students in Catholic schools
and colleges" and quotes literally from II
to show what, in his opinion, are its illib-
eral ard fallacious teachings.
In conclusion, the bishop again reminds
the ahlegate that he is wholly ignorant of
the American people their moral standards
and their views of mutual good will and is
not proper person to give them counsel
in their own affairs.

Roads on Her Way to Brazil.
A telegram was received at the Navy De-
partment today announcing the arrival of
the monitor Miantonomoh at Hampton
Roads this morning. She may remain there
few days exercising her crew. when
ready, she will continue her cruise to the
south as far as Trinidad. By the time of
her arrival at that place 1t will be def
nitely determined whether the monitor shall
go to Rio or shall turn her PROV toward
the United States. 1t would take her about
thirty-hve days to make the trip from Nor
folk to Rio. and she would burn a great
amount OF coal on the trip. Owing to her
small coal capacity, she would have to
stop at nearly every coaling station along
the route. Coal is a most expensive COM
modify and the price increases as you jour-
ney south 1t Is about $40 a ton in Brazil
In times OF peace. A telegram was sent to
the commander OF the Miantonomoh telling
him to take her to the Norfolk navy yard
one OF her water pipes got out of order on
the short trip from New York and requires
attention before she can continue her cruise
The repairs can easily be made in twelve or

AGAINST PROPERTY.
An Opinion ON the Subject Rendered
by Attorney ThOmna

Awhile ago the contractor for the i'm
provement of Connecticut avenue wrote
to Mr.. William Oscar Roome, the special
assessment clerk. requesting the issue of
certificates Of Indebtedness against the sew
eral parcels of land against which the as
sessment is to be levied, from Florida ave-
nue. to the District line
The request was referred to the attorney
for the District, who has rendered an opin-
lon In which he says the law contains no
provision empowering the Commissioners
to issue certificates Of Indebtedness against
the several parcels of land. against which
the assessment is to be levied.
He says there seems to be no legal i'm
pediment to furnishing the contractor If he
desires 1t, with a certificate based on the
assessment that certain amount Is due
him under the contract. and that certain
property Is assessed for a certain sum-
being its proportionate share, and that pay
ment of such assessment by the property
owner when made will be turned over to
the contractor or his assigns.

The city f1remen of Honolulu are mostly

When paid off last month they went on
strike. Their plan was to join the queens
party for restoration and help her to regain
the power and throne. AS soon as this
was effected they were to demand various
offices under the government and formal
demand was to be made upon the queen
that white firemen be discharged and only
natives be employed
