BIG DAMS SIDE RESTS.
Last Witness for the Defense in the Cronln
Case Called TODAY.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 9.-The defense in
the trial of Dan Coughlin for the muir
der of DR.. Cronin rested its case to-
day. Coughlin did not take the stand.
He would have been unable to answer
certain questions the state would GER
tainly have asked, and the attorneys
for the defense decided that his 81 do
not remember would prejudice his
case more than would his failure to take
the stand.
After the hearing of some unimport-
ant testimony in the Coughlin case to-
day, Thomas Coughlin, brother Of the
defendant, was called to the stand.
Judge Wing began line of question
ing to show that the witness had
sent man named Smith to
the ex-Detective and that it was
for this man that Coughlin hired
Riaan's white horse on the night of
tom objected and the jury was taken
from the room while the attorneys
argued the point. After long and
heated argument Judge Tuthill ruled
the evidence was admissible. Thomas
Coughlan then returned to Me
man a note OF Introduction
to Daniel Coughlin in April, 1889. The
man had rented horse of the witness,
who is livery man in Hancock, Mich,
and hearing that the latter had brother
in Chicago secured the note of intro
duction which was written on the back
of business card. The witness de-
scribed the man as clean shaven, cross
eyed, and weighing about $50 pounds.
This description tallies with that given
by the defendant. On cross-examina-
ton Mr. Coughlin said he is member
of the Clan-Na-Gael but denied any ac-
quaintance with Martin Burke
At the conclusion of the witness
testimony Judge Wing announced that
he desired to introduce in evidence the
verdict on former trial, and then rising
said: "Your honor, we rest our case"
A murmur of disappointment ran
through the court room, as number of
the spectators had expected to hear
the defendant testify. The states at
torneys stated that they would begin
their rebuttai testimony at the after
noon session and recess was taken.

JENKINS CASE COMES UP.
House judiciary Committee VIII Probably
Favor a thorough lnVeS.
tiratiOn.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 9.-The
House Judiciary committee, in executive
session this morning, took up the Nc
Gam resolution looking to the
impeachment of Judge Jenkins
The committee considered the
resolution at considerable length but
did not reach any conclusion upon it.
Final decision was deferred to a subse-
quent meeting and opportunity will be
afforded the labor men to come
before the committee and make
arguments. While the members of
the committee are inclined to be wary
of expressing opinions at this stage;
conversations with them this morning
lead to the belief that the committee
will decide to make thorough investi-
CATION Of the matter.
The resolution had been referred to a
acknowledgements Boat
ner and Terry (Dems.) and Stone
(Rer.). Mr.. Stone had not been able
to consider the matter, and the other
two members being unable to agree
upon a course of action returned the
bill to the whole committee.
In the discussion in full committee,
which lasted for an hour, differences OF
opinion were elected. Some members
thought that no showing had been
made which called for an investiga-
ton; others thought the committee
should proceed to investigate the case,
while a third shade of opinion suggest
ed that the resolution should be re-
turned to the House and vote taken
there as to whether an investigation
should be made.
No charges of corruption have been
made against Judge Jenkins, nor is
there any explicit charge that he was
influenced by improper motives in issu-
ing the Injunction. In the resolution
calling for the investigation, which
the committee on labor recommended,
the fact Of the injunction is set forth
and the contention is made that it was
illegal and unprecedented, an interfer-
ence with the plain rights of citizens.

Official Report on the Battle Near TIM

PARIS, Feb. 9.-It is officially stated
to-day that the French forces suffered
q serious defeat at the hands of the
natives near Timbuctoo. Several Off
GERS and large number of the troops
were killed.
The governor of the Soudan has tele-
graphed that Col. Bonniers column left
on December l from Timbuctoo
OH reconnaissance and that the
column was surprised while asleep
when about three days march
from Timbuctoo. The success Of the
Tuaregs is said to have greatly encour-
aged the other native tribes, and the
route of the French was mostly diff
cult, as they were continually har-
assed in their retreat. Upon reach
ing Timbuctoo the commander of
the French forces there decided
that it was ad visable to prepare for the
worst, and steps were Immediately
taken to throw up entertainments in an
ticipation of an attack in force upon the
part of the natives. The latter were
said to be mastering their forces and to
be preparing for a combined onslaught
uLOn the French.

PLOT TO KILL PEIXOTO.
Life ct the President Of Brazil Sought by
Followers OF Admiral MeI0


Copyrighted 1894, by the Associated Press.
BUENos AYREs, Feb. 9.-Sensational
news has been received here from Rio
de Janeiro. According to dispatches
from the Brazilian capital, the decision
of President PeiXoto to issue a decree
calling for presidential election as
we'll as for an election for members of
Congress on March l was only reached
after the President had been badly
frightened by the discovery Of plot to
murder him. There are several YER
sions of the affair. The plot appears to
have been widespread and to have
counted number of influential peo-
Pile, including several officers, among
the conspirators. So soon as the plot
against the life of President Peixoto
was discovered the police were in
structed to arrest the ringleaders, which
was promptly done.
The trial Of the conspirators is said to
have followed closely lpon their ar
rest, and there being in the opinion of
the court-martial no doubt that they
were guilty they were sentenced to
death. The next morning the persons
convicted of having plotted to take
the life of President Peixoto were
taken to an unfrequented spot
outside the line of tortifca-
tons and were shot while kneel-
ing at the foot of the freshly dug graves
which were prepared to receive their
bodies. After the fatal volley the bod
les of the conspirators were hastily
placed in the graves by the soldiers
comprising the firing party. The earth
was shoveled upon them and the SOL
diers were cautioned not to say a word
about the affair, under threat Of being
shot if they did SO.
The discovery of the plot against
President Peixoto's life, the arrest of
the conspirators, the court-martial and
secret execution, all seem to have been
kept from the ear of the general public,
but their effect upon President Peixoto
is said to have been SO great that he
signed the decree for the election
March Is.
In addition to the conspirators exc
cuted, the dispatches also say number
of other implicated persons were sem
fenced to long terms of imprisonment,
and those who had property were mott
fed that it had been confiscated for the
use Of the government. Others still of
the suspects sought refuge in fight and
are now on their way to England and
the United States

Lord Rosebery has done It. He Is now

He has won the Derby. In addition to
the Two Thousand Guineas and the New

assured.
The blue ribbon Is the Englishman's
idol. He bows down before 1t and wor-
ships 1t. Talk about majorities on a
Home Rule bill or a suffrage bill. or a
lard bill or Budget! Why. a victory on
EPSON Downs will DO more to strengthen
q Ministry than all majorities ever rolled
up In the House Of Commons by the
Efforts OF the busiest whips.

the English Ministry was safe, not be-
cause Of any wise stroke of policy. not
bece use OF any great piece of statesman

or any overmastering ability In a debate,
but because a great colt, the popular
