favoriug his signing the bill; Bissell,
Lamont and Olney advocating a veto
and Carlisle and Morton non-committal
but bell we'd to be friendly towards the
bill. MIR. Cleveland has until the 29th
inst to decide, but every day brings
additional pressure on both sides.
Republicans have good reason to feel
encouraged over the tariff outlook in the
senate. The only thing that the repub'
lican members OF the senate finance
committee insisted upon in connection
with the repol ting OF the bill to the sen
ate was that the debate should not begin
until Monday, April ,, and they carried
their point. The bill as reported is in
such an unsatisfactory shape that 1t can
not be passed by the senate until mater
iaI changes are made. This is admitted
even by those democrats who are most
anxious for it to pass. That gives the
republicans a poor fighting chance to
defeat the bill outright, and it will be
taken advantage of to the fullest extent.
A democratic senator who desires the
bill to pass remarked to another senator:
IF the republicans are shrewd enough
10 vote solidly against striking out the
income tax they can defeat the bill, as
there are at least seven democrats who
will never vote fer the bill with that
clause in it, There may be something
in that, but great commercial pressure
is being brought to bear upon relubli-
can senators for the purpose OF getting
them to vote to strike out the income
tax. So far no binding agreement has
been made by republican senators as to
bow they shall vote, but it is probable
that some sort Of an agreement will be
made to keep their votes together.
Although there is an individual here
who styles himself the "local representa-
tive of Cexey's commonwealth army
and he has been around the capitol dis
tributing maps and pamphlets relating
to the proposed march on Washington
to whoever would accept them, the whole
business is regarded by congressman
generally as nothing more than a hoax,
although some of the populists are ac-
cused of believing in the scheme but not
one Of them has said so publicly. Cox
ey's army will probrbly turn out to be
about the same sort of an army as the
100000 men that one, Henry Watterson,
on % upon time threatened to bring to
Washington to forcibly inaugurate Sam
uel J., Tilden president. General Wat
tersen changed his mind before the time
arrived, and if General Coxey doesn't
change his mind he will probably coz
sent to have at least three ciphers struck
out of his figures representing the
strength OF his army before he gets here
with it.
Chairman Manlev OF the republican
national committee was in Washington
this week. He says the committee is
anxious to hear from any republican
who has a suggestion 90 offer either for
or against the proposed change in al
lotting the representation at national
conventions, which will materially re-
duce the representation of the hope
lessly democratic states, and that moth
ing will be defnitely decided until it is
endorsed by the sentiment Of the party.

presented, and unimpeachable, while
that intended to prove an alibi was

tax the patience of the court to the

intelligent jurors, mindful of their oalhs
could render such judgment, passes
comprehension.
But from the first the part,sans of
the prisoner haye expresse confidence

to unprincipled men has been employed
to bring it about The Jurors have
been the recipients of letters threatening
them with the fate of DIR. Cronin if they
convicted Coughlin, while on several
occasions money brides have been in-
tercepted on the route to the jury-room.
No one can tell how many of these
escaped the vigilance Of the sheriff S
officers and reached their destination.
The use of money on behalf OF the
prisoner was prodigal in the extreme.
The best of lawyers were retained in
his cause and paid enormous fees, and
witnesses from long distances were
brought to testify 10 his avor. Neither
Coughlin moi any Of his 'atiyes could

end in Chicago. and by the verdict the
prisoner goes free. The evidence has
been published fully every day to the
world, SO that the public has almost as
good grounds for the forming Of an
estimate as the jury. The estimate Of
the public has been an overwhelming
belief that Coughlin was the head of
one of the foulest conspirac ies of MUIR
der ever organized, and that there is no
moral doubt that be is gully of MUIR
der. However, from the beginning OF
this remarkable trial it has been plain
that almost superhuman efforts have
been made TO defeat the ends of JUS
tice. Money has not been spared, and
90 scruple has been felt in the practice
of every possible method of intimidation
and corruption. The case has been

1889, before the Carlson cottage. The
defense, however, introduced tests
mony to show that on the day in ques-
ton Mrs Horton was sadly intoxicat-
ed. A new and sensational witness
was introduced by the state in the
person of Frank Bardeen, an electro
cal engineer, who formerly lived at
Wausau, Wis. In May, 1889, he was
employed at the Edgewater electric
light plant, past which the wagon
bearing the remains of DIR. Cronin was
assumed by the prosecution to have
gone. Bardeen said that about two
O'Clock on the morning of HAY 56n he
heard wagon passing. He turned ON
an electric search light which was
fixed above the door. and in the glare
he saw, he said, a wagon in which was
a large chest or trunk. Behind the
wagon walked two men, he claimed,
one of whom he identified as Cough
lin. Bardeen' S testimony was savage
ly attacked by the defense. 1t was
shown that no train ran at the hour
he said he left Edgewater the morning
after he saw the wagon, and evidence
was introduced to show that no moon
was visible on the night IN question,
although he swore positively that he
first saw wagon and men by moon
light. Much medical testimony was
introduced by the defense to prove
that DR.. Cronin's death might have
resulted from disease and not from the
wounds found on his body, but its
principal effort was directed towards
establishing an alibi. Three witnesses
swore to having seen Coughlin during
the evening when he was supposed to
have been engaged in the killing, and
their testimony was mistaken. Sever
al days were consumed by the state in
rebuttal evidence and long speeches
were made by counsel.

ed. Attorney Bancroft considers Miss
Zoldoski's own statement, which has
already been published in The Inter
Ocean, as an important feature of the
application for a pardon. To appre-
ciate the Importance of that statement
it must be remembered that Rose
Zoldosh was convicted on evidence
wholly circumstantial. Not word of
direct evidence against her was adj
duced. 1t was her expectation up to
the last day of the trial that she would
be put on the stand to assert her in
nocence and tell the story supporting
it. At the last moment the attorneys
decided not to put her on. If the jury
were affected by that decision as were
the general public at the time, there
is reason to believe that the verdict
rendered was colored by it.
WHY SHE DIDN'T TESTIFY.
The decision not to allow the young
woman to testify was based upon the
belief that there was no need for her
story, as the prosecution had failed to
make out a case against her. Viewed
at this distance from the trial, the
failure to allow the girl to testify in
her own behalf seems to have been a
fatal mistake. The statement which
she desired to make then she has re-
Gently made, and it is in the hands of
the Governor with the other papers.

authenticity Of the anonymous letter
is finished, and Governor Peck has
acted upon the application for a par
don. no other subject viii receive
much attention here. The case is the
topic in every home, hotel, and public
gathering place.

trade this week Is an improvement
over u week ago, in that the favorable
features reported then have been
maintained. There are surprisingly
good reports OF business from the
south, and with some exceptions from
the vest. The greatest activity Is
shown in dry goods, clothing, millin
cry and shoes. Heavier exports Of
wheat from New York, San Francisco
and Montreal have further increased
the weekly wheat and flour exports
from both coasts. The price move
ment this week was downward. Other
decreases are shown in hogs and cat-
tie ut western markets. Two hundred
and eighteen business failures NJ re-
ported in the United States for the
week against BAG a year ago. The
gains in the volume OF business at the
leading eastern cities in the preceding
fortnight has been generally main
tanned.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, special: Comp
troller of Currency Eckels spoke at
the annual convention OF the Ohio
Bankers Association. He made argu-
ments against the imitation of currency
regardless of intrinsic value. No
matter how abundant, it could give no
relief to those without ear to pay
their obligations, or those suspected
of q lack OF willingness to pay. The
history of this nation and nearly all

of attempting to make people rich by
