THE COUGHLIN CASE.
Alleged Attempt by Woman tn
Tamper with the Jury.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-The Coughiin case
suffered another jury scare to-day What
may prove to be deliberate attempt to
tamper with the jury In open court was
brought to light This time the supposed
emissary of the conspirators is a short,
heavy woman, with coarse and heavy feat
ures. II is known that she has been making
remarks against the character OF Mrs. Foy
ever since that State witness was on the
stand last Friday. With the suspected
woman are associated In the minds OF the
State officers a vulgar looking man of low
stature and heavy build. and another wom-
an of like beauty. The prosecution received
this startling Information through two diff
ferent sources One OF the jurors informed
the State officers a few days ago that a
woman who had been In constant attend
ance at the trial was acting suspiciously He
believed she was trying to communicate
by the hand. To-day the woman was
barred from the court room, and a watch
is being kept upon her and her companions
Martin Burke'S connection with the al
legged conspiracy to kill DR.. Cronin was the
point on which the prosecution centered it's
testimony to-day. Jonas Carlson, the own
er OF the Carlson cottage, was called to the
stand. His testimony did not differ materi-
ally from that given by him on the former
trial. On crOsS-eXaminatiOn the old man
became ill-tempered and the defense ex-
him to answer questions. Mrs. Carlson
gave substantially the same evidence as
her husband, nothing of Importance being
brought out, however

massacre OF Captain Wilson's and Captain
Barrow's detachments. There Is no doubt
that when Major Forbes left the Shanghai
river Captain Wilson and his party were
very hard pressed. But achievements
have since been sent TO him. and IL is
hoped that the two forces have effected a
junction, and that they will soon be In COM
munication with their base of operations.
The authorities here in the absence of any
news OF the disaster feel justified in express
ing the belief that the numerous reports
which have reached London and which an
nounce the annihiIa ton of two commands
are without foundation, and simply based
upon the fact already reported that Capt.
Wilson in danger.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 2s.-Yellow fever
In its worst form has broken out in Rio de
Janeiro and the people of that besieged city
are now truly in an unhappy condition.
With rebel bullets singing through the
streets and that most dread of all diseases
black vomit-stalking everywhere he must
bear a charmed life who remains and
capes injury or death. The government is
taking every precaution possible under the
circumstances to prevent a spread of the
disease. but the work of the officials is
greatly hampered by the condition to
which the city has been reduced by the
horrors of war.
Following the news that the black vomit
has broken out at Rio de Janeiro comes the
additional information that the lombard
ment of the city and forts continues and
the forces of both parties-the government
and the insurgents-seem determined TO
bring matters to termination in way
or the other. The fire of the rebel war ships
upon the forts is said to have been unusual
ly severe and has resulted in killing a
number of the defenders of President Pex-
oto's Notifications. 1t is also said that sew
eral people have been killed in the streets
of Rio, and that the people are so panic
stricken that all the stores have been closed
and that business Is practically at a stand
still. The forts have been replying flercely
TO the heavy fire Of the ships and have so
far succeeded in holding their own. It is
reported that a battle at sea between the
rebel ships and the cruisers fitted out for
Peixoto at New York may soon be expected.
and that upon this engagement will depend
the fate of the rebellion.

lished better understanding between
them. This was much to be desired, as
the secretary's first proposition. made
from Washington, that the banks should
make him gold loan of $50, ,0OO, 900,
was very disquieting. A proposition
which, II carried out on the terms pro
posed must have resulted in sending
money TO about l per cent. per day, and
treated Wall street to an old fashioned
panic, was something which, It would be
mild to say, astonished the banking
fraternity as much as the original
rumors about redemption of the Treasury
notes had alarmed them. IL was every
way desirable, therefore, that the secre-
tary and the fnanciers should meet
and talk matters over. There seems
to be a better understanding between
them now; but it Is evident that the
situation is still regarded with uneasi
ness because of its uncertainty. The
banks are inclined to make themselves as
snug as possible To this is owing the
contraction of loans, and the disinclina.
tion TO discount commercial paper. II
the country at large is TO learn by ex.
perience what are the evil effects of the
Silver purchase law, 1t will have to learn

II is beginning to get a taste of it al
ready From all quarters come reports
Of tight mohey and backward collections.
The wave of distrust which this

financial centre to the circumfer-
ence, and before things are better they
will be worse. The silver disease is
deep, is of long standing, and it will not
be cured without severe treatment.
There is an idea in Wall street. that the
administration, convinced Of the
futility-not to say absurdity-of call
ing for small contributions of gold in the
name Of patriotism, intends to let the
situation take care of itself, keeping
strictly within the letter of the law
until the country demands that the
laws shall be changed. How this will
work out is uncertain. But IL does not
