DOCTORS IN DOUBT.
Almost Certain That Van Wrinkle
Died of Poison.
But Bad Water and Poor Cooking
Might Have Caused Just Such an
Illness as He Had.
Special TO The MORNING CALL

PITTsBURG, Jan. 13 The court was
crowded at the second days trial of Hugh
Dempsey for completely in the Homestead
poisoning. Most OF the forenoon session
was taken up with an examination Of the
men taken Ill while working at Homestead,
and their physicians. The latter all express
their belief the men had been poisoned. The
defense objected to the physicians testi-
mony. The court said the proceedings
were IRREGULAR, but If it could be proved the
defendants were guilty OF furnishing the
poison, the evidence would be admissible.
The District Attorney said he would show
this fact, and the testimony was admitted.
At the afternoon session several witnesses
testified to having been seized with sudden
and severe. illness after eating in the Home
stead mill.
DIR. II. 5. MeGeary. who treated William
ii. Johnston, one Of the witnesses. stated
That arsenical poisoning alone would pro-
duce such marked symptoms as Johnston's
case presented. The witness also attended
Benjamin Weaver, another witness. whose
symptomS he said. could have been pro-
duced only by some strong irritant poison.
DR.. A. p. FoRelman, who attended other
witnesses, testified that the cases did not
yield to treatment as they should have
done. He said the symptoms in the diseases
could have been produced by some corrosive
poison. On cross. examination witness said /:
Cooking food in large quantities. drinking
water such as the men were not used to
and climatic changes would tend to produce
a disease similar to that which affected the
men," The doctors testified that they were
strongly suspicious that man named Van
Wrinkle had died of arsenical poisoning.
The court then adjourned until Monday.

The Republicans insist that they will not

Finally at noon both houses agreed to ad-

In a spirit of Cancellation the Republi-
cans have Withdrawn the application filed
yesterday in the Supreme Court for man

The Populist leaders have offered plan
for settling the House squabbles, proposing
that the Populists concede the legality OF
the Republican organization; that CON-

creation Of a commission to consider all

Special to TIE MORNING CALL

SAN RAFAEL, JAM. 13-Tbe executors OF

by their clerks and attorneys. assembled in
the chambers of Superior Judge f. NJ. An
gelloiti this morning for the confirmation of
the bid Of /. and W. Seligman & Co. and
Ladenburg, Thalman & Co. of New York

bid, which amounts to S420. coo, is upon the
condition that the -, 900 shares of stock of
.se estate he delivered free to them of all
ineumbrance. The meSSiag ef the confrma-
ton of the bid has been set for February "a

tors bid was filed in court this morning by
William Graves. present general manager
Of tie North Pacific Coast railroad, for
$4,000 for the same property and upon
conditions somewhat similar to the former

the ground that the Seligman bid was filed
yesterday and accepted before the filing of
Mr.. Graves bid, but which will leave Mr..
Graves bid to the discretion Of the conrt at
the confirmation for acceptance. IL Mr..
Graves assumes control of the road 1t will
meet the appreciation Of the people

Underground Conduits.
ST. Louis Globs.Dsmocrat.


The results attending the operation of the
underground electric conduit railway on the
North Chicago Railway are 80 satisfactory
that about two miles of similar track will be
laid by the Rocky Greek Railway Company
in Washington. d. c. The conduit used in
Chicago is much like a cable conduit, Is
inches deep and inches wide. The yokes
are 20 inches deep. spaced 4 feet apart
and connected by sheet-iron lin
ing. about which the concrete is
placed. Within this conduit are two
copper wires, along which the trolley
runs. This trolley has four wheels. and is
so arranged that it yields freely to every
motion of the car above. Contact is made
and broken by lever much like those
used on cable-cars. The conduit for the
Washington road is TO be 1S inches deep
and have connection to the sewers every
100 feet for drainage purposes. The copper
conductors are to be quarter of an inch in
diameter. Outside the central portions of
the city the overhead trolley will probably
be used. since the underground system is
still in an experimental stage and is only
employed to comply with the recent law

THEY ARE AGAINST IRELAND.
The Majority of Bishops Opposed to
the Hierarch of St. Paul.

VICTORIA, Jan. 13-Bishop Lemmens
was shown the dispatch from New York in
which the five suppressed propositions of
the Papal delegate, Monsignor Satolli, sub
mitted to the Roman Catholic Arch bishops
at New York are purported TO be given and
said: Some time ago l received list of
the propositions, but they did not contain
any reference to the exclusion from the
saeraments of parents sending their chill
dren to the public schools. The dispatch
states that the Pontiff forbade even a
threat of exclusion Of parent or child. The
proposition is very wide. At present we
use our judgment. The sacramento are not
forbidden to all parents who send their
children to the public schools. The circun,-
stances of each individual ease are weighed
and the priest judges from the crcum-
stances. The matter cannot be viewed as a
victory for Archbishop Ireland on the
school question. His position has only
brought the subject 10 the fore. The Papal
delegate and Cardinal Gibbons are with
Ireland. but the other preiates are against
him."
NEW YORK. Jan. ia new element was
added yesterday to the Corrigan- Ireland
Satolli controversy by the statement that
Manager Satolli would not as expected,
come to this city to celebrate pontifieal
mass on Sunday. January %. at the Church
of ST. Agnes.
Under a Washington date the Herald
says: DR.. O'Gorman denied positively to-
night that Monsignor Satoll, Bishop Keane
or any of the faculty of the Catholic Uni
versity had ever intended to go to New
York for the celebration at st. Agnes
Church on January %.

Harrison and TompkiDs avenue line bear
red lights, which the captain thought were
the port lights OF vessels. Every passing
light during his watch was signaled in re-

conductors on this line mourn the old SAIL

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS.
Everything Put In in the Shape of
Advertisements
Berlin letter In the Washington Star.

Berlin letter In the Washington Star.
The newspapers here are largely sold by
women, and the small newsbUy OF America
Is unknown In Berlin. Now and then you
see man selling papers. but the greater
part Of the circulation of the journals is by
subscription, and women always deliver
the papers. There are many queer things
about the newspapers. and few Of the Ber-
lin journals have large stats of reporters.
The local news is about the same in all
papers, and no one thinks of trying to make
scoop. as il is called, or to have the news
in advance of his fellows. The editors
Of the morning papers leave their
offices at o'elOek. and the papers
even the printers have gone home,
and when General Won Moltke died at II
O'Clock one night some time ago there was
only one Berlin newspaper that had line
about it in its issue of the next morning.
The announcement of the death was pub
lished in New York and elsewhere in full,
but the German newspapers right here at
home knew nothing about il. The nnwspa-
pers here publish items from their contem-
porary journals which they should have had
themselves, saying that the other paper says
so and so, and there is no life in Berlin
journalism. The papers have not very
large circulation, and they do not make
great deal of money. The biggest of them
sells something like 100000 copies, aud this
paper makes S137 900 a year, and thinks it
Goes wonders. Men who write for the pa
pers are moderately well paid, and editors
in-chef get from $4,000 to $1,000 a year
The Germans are good advertisers, and
there seems to be no reason why the papers
should not do better. Everything under the
sun is put into the papers in the shape of an
advertisement. And there is great deal
of social news that we publish for nothing
which is put in here at so much per line.
Engagements are generally announced in
the newspapers by the parents OF the bride
and also by the groom, and there is large
number of matrimonial advertisements, in
which men and women state their good
qualities and ask for husbands and wives.
Sometimes men advertise, stating they
have a daughter whom they wish TO
get rid of, and in one year there
were 400 advertisements in one paper of
persons seeking betterhalves. Marriages
are also published in the same way, and
there is fbed rate for births and deaths.
The Germans are very proud OF having
children, and 1t is generally expected that
son or a daughter will make his or her
appearance in the newspaper columns i'm
mediateiy upon its appearance In the world.
There are always numbers Of death notices,
and the official advertisements of the city
amount to something. Advertisements of
patent medicines have as much prominence
In the Berlin newspapers as 10 ours, and
altogether the German is a very good

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Jan. ia stir was
caused In the House this morning by the
introduction of a resolution calling on the
Illinois members in Congress to work for
the passage of the anti-option bill. The
question soon became party one, the DEM
ocrats, In accordance with the position OF
Senator Palmer, opposing it; the Repubi-
cans, to fit Senator Cullom's position, favor
ing it, The Democrats finally succeeded In
rallying enough Democratic farmers to
their aid to refer the resolution to the CON-
mittee on Federal Relations by the close
vote Of 81 ia 80. 1t is understood the Dem
oerats intend to allow the resolution to sleep
in committee.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 13-Nothing but

Gratis and the remainder to the Popuists
The session was short, only long enough to
hear the list Of committees read.
OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 13.-There was no
marked change in the Senatorial situation
to-day beyond the fact that the Democrats
are elated over the commanding position
which they apparently hold. Leading
Democratic members say that they stand
ready to cast their votes for Republican,
provided the deadlock permits them to
practically decide the election as they de-
cided the speakersbip of the House.
